Early in the morning, just after breakfast, Nanny Jiang walked out in a hurry.
The maid who was sweeping outside Madam Qin's courtyard saw this and hurriedly bowed and greeted her with a smile, "Good morning, Madam Jiang. What are you doing in such a hurry?"
"The young master is coming back. I'll go to the second gate to meet him."
Because Qin Hexuan was only ten years old and not old enough to move out, after he came back, Madam Qin placed him in the courtyard next to hers. Except for a servant named Song Tao, all the other servants were from Madam Qin's courtyard.
Mrs. Qin's original intention was naturally to love her son. She felt that her son had suffered for so many years away from her. If Qin Hexuan himself was not unwilling, she would have wanted to let her son live in her own yard.
However, in the eyes of some servants who were unaware of the truth, her thoughts inevitably became evidence that the young master was unfavored.
It’s not that they are just imagining things.
First of all, after Mrs. Qin got married, she gave birth to three sons.
The eldest son, Qin Hedong, is sixteen years old this year and is just waiting to be selected as an official.
Considering how much favor Qin Songyin enjoys in front of the emperor now, everyone knows that Qin Hedong's starting point for this step will definitely not be too low.
The second son, Qin Heyue, is thirteen years old and currently studying at the Imperial Academy. He is often praised by doctors and lecturers. (Note 1)
With two such outstanding young masters as role models, everyone's expectations of Qin Hexuan will naturally rise.
Although Qin Hexuan behaved very well after returning home and did not make any mistakes, he did not seem to have any strengths, so he was naturally easily surpassed.
But when they saw that Nanny Jiang actually went out to pick up Qin Hexuan in person, everyone couldn't help but reassess Qin Hexuan's importance in their hearts.
Nanny Jiang is the most trusted person around Madam Qin, and her attitude often represents Madam Qin's thoughts.
Nanny Jiang deliberately walked around the mansion before heading straight to the second gate.
All the rumors in Tianfu these days could not escape her ears.
The reason for doing this this time is to suppress all kinds of groundless rumors in the mansion.
You know, the most outrageous thing she heard was that Qin Hexuan was General Wen's illegitimate son, who was pretended to be Qin Songyin and Madam Qin's child and was stuffed in for them to help raise.
There are people who actually believe this nonsense.
Nanny Jiang didn't know what to say.
In fact, if it were under normal circumstances, Qin Hexuan would not be so arrogant. Not to mention Madam Jiang, he would try his best not to bother other servants in the mansion.
I just didn't expect that these would be regarded as one of the reasons for his pettiness.
In the eyes of these people, people who grew up in the bitter, cold and barren land outside the Great Wall are naturally far inferior to those young masters and young ladies who have lived a life of luxury since childhood.
In addition, Qin Hexuan is usually very serious. When he has a cold and expressionless face, it is really scary, which inevitably makes the servants think that he has a bad temper and is difficult to get close to.
Qin Hexuan didn't care about these discussions or his reputation, but Nanny Jiang knew that if these words were to reach Madam Qin's ears one day, those who had nothing better to do than gossip would be in trouble.
Nanny Jiang didn't care what happened to them, but if she got Madam Qin angry because of these ignorant people, it would be a waste of time and effort.
So she came to give him a warning first to avoid any trouble in the future.
She walked around and came to the second gate. As soon as she walked into the moon gate, she saw the sedan bearers waiting there.
The steward at the second gate was folding her arms and asking, "Who ordered the sedan chairs? How many people are coming? Why are there so many sedan chairs?"
The servants were all following orders, so they reported truthfully: "Madam Liu, it was Song Tao, one of the young master's men, who brought the message. We were just following orders."
"Of course I know you can't make the decisions, you just follow orders." Madam Liu's eyes almost rose to her forehead. "I'm just worried that you didn't hear the instructions clearly and didn't even realize you made a mistake."
Nanny Jiang couldn't stand it any longer, so she came over, patted Nanny Liu's shoulder, and said, "Who is so blind that made Nanny Liu angry so early in the morning?"
"Madam Jiang, look at what you said, how dare I offend Madam Liu!
"I really prepared the sedan chair after seeing the seal in Song Tao's hand. I..."
He was interrupted by Nanny Jiang before he could finish his words.
"I thought it was something else, but it turns out to be this?" Nanny Jiang laughed. "The young master has been away from home since he was young, so he's not very familiar with many of the rules. You should all be more tolerant."
"Madam Jiang, your words are too serious. Young Master should bear with us more..."
At this moment, the sound of wheels suddenly came from outside the door. Nanny Jiang quickly left Nanny Liu who was talking and walked out quickly.
I saw a few small oil-cleaning trucks driving over and stopping at the door.
Qin Hexuan was the first to get off, then turned around and carried Qingtian out of the car.
Mr. Wei was in a car alone and got out of it leisurely.
Only Ye Lao Da, Ye Lao Si and Ye Dasao got out of the carriage with varying degrees of stiffness and even stumbling.
Although everyone knew that the Qin family was wealthy and powerful, no one had expected it to be so large.
Their carriage was parked outside the corner gate, and someone was waiting there to help them change to the oil-powered cart.
After changing cars, I walked for another half a day before I was finally able to get off.
How big a house must it be to have something like this!
In Ye Dasao’s previous thinking, the imperial palace was just like this, right?
Now that I see the Qin family, I realize that my previous assumptions about rich and powerful families were completely insignificant.
