Chapter 205 Visiting Card
Qin Jing seemed extremely tolerant and said, "Mother, he is just a child. Wasn't it the same when my younger brothers and sisters were young? I still remember that my second brother was also stunned when he saw Concubine Li for the first time, and he almost made you unhappy."
Lady Xian Guogong was still stubborn and said, "How can it be the same? Your brother was still a child at that time."
Qin Jing reluctantly reminded: "He was seven years old at that time, one year older than the little girl from the Gu family."
The lady of the Duke of Xian was choked upon hearing this and said, "I still don't like that girl. Her hair is not black enough, her eyes are not round enough, and her mouth should be prettier."
Lady Xianguogong couldn't tell where her dislike for Niu Niu came from. It was like some kind of instinct. She always felt that Niu Niu should grow up to be someone else that would make her more satisfied.
Before Qin Jing could say anything, Duke Xian said unhappily, "You have so many requirements for a girl from another family. Do you think she is Jingshu from our family?"
When Lady Xian Guogong heard this, she wanted to jump up on the spot and said, "How could I treat her as Jingshu! Jingshu is my precious daughter!"
After saying this, Lady Xian Guogong realized belatedly that she seemed to be using the same standards for Qin Jingshu to judge Niu Niu. She couldn't understand why she would be hostile to a girl she had just met by chance.
hostility?
Lady Xian Guogong pondered this word in her mind and immediately shuddered. It was impossible. She had no hostility towards her own daughter. She loved Qin Jingshu the most.
Duke Xian didn't stay in the inner house often, but as a grown man, he also knew the actual relationship between his wife and daughter. He said, "I don't know whether you treasure your daughter or not, but you really treasure this bastard boy."
Duke Xian has many sons. The one he is most proud of is his eldest son Qin Jing, and the one he hates the most is Qin Er. Even though his illegitimate sons are not very ambitious, they will not cause trouble for him every day.
As for his daughter, Duke Xian didn't care about her at all. He just gave her a name, hired a female teacher, and sent her to school together. His wife took care of the rest, and he didn't care about her at all.
After hearing this, Lady Xian Guogong couldn't help but feel a little angry.
When the carriage was halfway through its journey, Duke Xian got off the carriage, left a message saying "I have an appointment" and ran away.
Lady Xian of Duke Xian started complaining to her son.
"The other day your father bought another hundred acres of land for Aunt Liu, and he was still looking at me without me knowing. He is just partial..."
Qin Jing listened patiently, and after a few words of comfort, he changed the subject and said, "Mother, my sister is only six years old. Even if she has some shortcomings, you can teach her carefully, but don't be too strict."
Lady Xian Guogong's focus was a little off, and her first reaction was: "Did your sister complain to you? This girl is a nagging person, and she can't stand even the smallest thing. How can I expect her to bring honor to our family in the future?"
Qin Jing frowned and said, "There are so many men in the Qin family who can't bring honor to the family, but you have to rely on your little sister?"
Lady Xian Guogong didn't know what to say for a moment.
Qin Jing suddenly realized something and asked, "Mother, what were your original plans for my sister? Why would you say such a thing for no reason?"
Lady Xian of Duke Xian began to stammer.
Qin Jing stared at her intently, as if he wanted to get to the bottom of things.
The wife of Duke Xian had no choice but to say, "The emperor has no son and is looking for a son of a royal family. Our Duke's family is not bad, and Concubine Li in the palace also likes her very much. If your sister can become the crown prince..."
Qin Jing took a deep breath when he heard this: "I advise you to give up these thoughts. Let alone whether you can become a crown prince, even if you become a crown prince, can you definitely become the queen? The palace is complicated. Why do you have to let your sister wade into this muddy water?"
Lady Xian Guogong had always been more flattering towards this eldest son who was not close to her, and said, "Okay, okay, I will listen to you."
She just said that, but no one knew what she was thinking in her heart.
The Gu family was also talking about the three people in the Xianguo Mansion at this time.
"The second young master Qin is domineering, but I didn't expect his elder brother to be such a humble gentleman." Zhang Yuniang sighed.
Anyone who sees such a handsome and elegant young man will feel happy.
Niuniu also nodded vigorously and said, "Niuniu also likes this brother very much. He seems like a very good person."
Gu Yan, who was always mature and prudent, frowned slightly when he heard this, but he couldn't help but asked, "He is your favorite brother?"
Gu Yan waited nervously for Niu Niu's answer.
Niuniu didn't notice that her eldest brother was jealous. After thinking for a moment, she answered seriously, "I like the eldest and third brothers the most, leaving a space for the second brother, and then it's this brother."
"Where is Brother Shen?" Gu Yan still remembered that Niuniu seemed to like Brother Shen very much.
Niuniu said without hesitation: "He ranks fifth. I still like Qin's brother more. I always feel like I have known him for a long time."
Everyone couldn't help laughing at these childish words.
Zhang Yunniang gently tapped Niuniu's nose and said, "You little rascal, you fall in love with every girl you meet."
It seemed that as soon as Niu Niu finished speaking, someone handed over a visiting card.
"The Princess's Mansion?"
After receiving the visiting card, all members of the Gu family looked at each other in surprise.
"When did our family have any connection with the Princess's Mansion?" Zhang Yuniang looked puzzled.
Old Lady Gu was now shaking all over, and she said, "Princess, this is a royal relative, has our family committed any crime?"
The Duke of Xian's Mansion was already an unattainable family status for the Gu family, and now the Princess's Mansion was brought up, so they were naturally afraid.
Niuniu looked at the absent-minded looks of the elders at home, grabbed Old Lady Gu's hand, and said, "Grandma, don't be afraid, the princess is also a human being, she shouldn't eat people..."
Old Lady Gu was even more frightened. She seemed to have misheard and asked, "What? The eldest princess is also a cannibal? What kind of problem is this?"
The old lady was about to cry. She had spent most of her life digging in the fields for a living, so naturally her only guess about the royal family was that the emperor was wielding the golden hoe.
Niuniu said: "It's okay, it's okay. Even if you want to eat me, eat me first. I'm young and my meat is tender."
Gu Zhao burst into tears when he heard this: "How can you eat my sister? If you want to eat someone, eat me first. I'm stronger than my sister."
Niuniu completely forgot that the rumor originated from her. She actually believed that the princess was a cannibal and started crying too: "If you really want to eat someone, just eat me and not others, okay?"
This commotion made Gu Mingda and his wife laugh and cry. They said, "Don't worry, no one is cannibalizing us. They handed in a visiting card. Although we don't know why they are coming, they are visiting us seriously."
The Gu family was still in chaos, but someone knocked on the door in the afternoon.
Brother Shen rushed in like a monkey.
