Return of the Swallow

The rumors in the city have not reached Qin Yining's ears yet.

At this time, she was accompanying Mr. Sun to choose a bride in a jewelry shop.

"Mom, at my age, I don't need such a precious head and face. It won't hold up even if I wear it."

Qin Yining pushed the brocade box covered with bright red velvet to Sun. There were sixty-four pieces of exquisite gold and ruby-embedded jewelry in the box. They ranged from delicate pieces and rockers to small earrings and rings. Each piece was exquisite and meticulous. , shining dazzlingly in the sun, very luxurious.

"It's for my mother. I think it's just right." Qin Yining took a ruby ​​hairpin with golden beads and tassels and compared it to Sun's bun. She smiled and said, "It's really good. My mother was born fair. This ruby ​​​​matches my mother's hair perfectly." Her skin color, and her status as a mother can afford such gorgeous jewelry.”

"Why do I need to wear these?" Mrs. Sun's mouth slightly curled up after being praised by her daughter, and she put the tassel hairpin into the box.

"I want to take advantage of this moment to choose a good wedding dress for you in the future. When we came here, we almost lost all the valuable things on the way. I didn't prepare any decent wedding dress for you earlier.

"Your father said that he plans to hold your haircut ceremony this year. After that, you will have to discuss marriage. It is also a good idea to choose your escort in advance."

Qin Yining's face turned red with embarrassment when Sun said that, and inexplicably, the image of Pang Xiao wearing a red python robe appeared in his mind.

But when she heard Mrs. Sun talking about "discussing marriage", she felt a little panicked.

As a woman, it is natural for her to obey her parents' orders and the matchmaker's advice when it comes to marriage matters.

But her relationship with Pang Xiao is so close, but it may not be recognized by the old lady and her mother. After all, they don't know anything about the inside story.

If she couldn't marry Pang Xiao in the end, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

But after thinking about it, Qin Yining put down his worries again.

Because the relationship between her and Pang Xiao is recognized by Qin Huaiyuan. When it comes to negotiating a marriage for her, no matter what the old lady or the Sun family chooses, they have to ask Qin Huaiyuan in the end.

Qin Yining was really grateful for his father's open-mindedness at this moment.

After all, Mrs. Sun had a motherly heart and bought the noodle with her own money. This amount of money is enough for an ordinary wealthy family to marry a daughter.

"When you go back, hide this first.

Don't let the old lady and other sisters see it. Life is very tight at home now. If they knew that I spent so much money, even if it was my body, they would tell them to talk. "

"Mother, I understand." Qin Yining couldn't help laughing.

Mrs. Sun pinched Qin Yining's cheek and said, "Don't laugh at me. I'm also worried that something might happen. When you give birth to a hairpin, we'll choose one from here. When you get married, you can use this set of hairpins." It’s just right, festive and noble.”

Qin Yining was amused by Sun's rare joy.

"Mom's plan was too early. I didn't even have a clue about my affairs."

"Is there any need to worry about this? With my daughter's appearance and your father's support, are you still worried about not being able to find a good marriage? There have always been girls in the family, and we are just newcomers, and because of the past, It's just something that must not be made public. Silly girl, do you believe that if the news that you are planning to get married is released, the threshold of our family will be leveled?"

"It's such an exaggeration." Qin Yining laughed again.

The mother and daughter were talking and laughing, causing Mama Jin, Jiyun and Xianyun who were following them to laugh too.

After the group bought jewelry, they went to the teahouse to find a private room to sit and rest for a while.

Mrs. Sun ordered a pot--\u003e\u003e

Lapsang souchong and some snacks were served, and he and Qin Yining chatted while having tea.

Qin Yining discovered that since Mrs. Sun learned that Cao Yuqing was no longer Qin Huaiyuan's concubine, Ms. Sun's whole face had become radiant, as if she had suddenly become ten years younger, and she was much kinder and calmer in dealing with others.

And Ms. Sun likes this daughter more and more now, not only because she looks like Qin Huaiyuan in her youth, but also because of her intelligence and calmness. Although she is a mother, she can always find something in her daughter. She feels safe, as if she can think of a solution to anything.

The relationship between mother and daughter has become much closer in recent days.

Just when the atmosphere was harmonious, Qin Yining vaguely heard someone talking loudly in the hall downstairs, and the words seemed to mention "Prince Zhongshun".

Sun was also very curious, so she raised her eyes and looked at Qin Yining.

Qin Yining gestured to Jiyun.

Ji Yun immediately went to push open the lattice window on the side facing the hall on the first floor. The noise in the hall was transmitted to his ears, and the man's voice just now could be heard clearly:

"...So, a hero like Prince Zhongshun wants to seduce the hearts of many women. Even women like the eldest princess will never forget him. I really don't know which woman in the world can refuse him like this. Excellent man."

Such a joke made everyone in the hall laugh, and the laughter seemed particularly meaningful.

Qin Yining raised his eyebrows.

I wonder what happened between Pang Zhixi and Li Helan again.

Although she was curious after hearing this, she had no doubts about Pang Xiao. They had gone through so many ups and downs, how could she not understand Pang Xiao's sincerity towards her.

But when Bingtang, Jiyun and Xianyun heard these words, they felt anxious.

Especially Mrs. Sun, when she heard someone mention Pang Xiao, her face immediately darkened. She glanced at Qin Yining cautiously. For fear that her daughter would be sad, she stood up and said, "Sister Yi, I'm tired from shopping today." , let’s go back.”

"Okay." Qin Yining agreed with a smile and left in the car with Sun.

Before getting in the car, Qin Yining looked at Jingzhe who was following him.

Jingzhe immediately came forward.

Qin Yining whispered a few words into Jingzhe's ear, and Jingzhe immediately accepted the order and retreated.

Qin Yining returned home and packed away the jewelry she just bought.

Bingtang observed Qin Yining's expression and saw that she was not angry, so she whispered: "Girl, don't think too much, the prince is not that kind of person."

"Yes." Bingtang raised his head, and Ji Yun and Xianyun also tried to persuade him.

Only Qiu Lu, who didn't go out with him today, was still confused as to what happened.

Just then, Jingzhe came back.

"Girl, my subordinates have made inquiries outside. There are many kinds of messages, but in summary, it is that the eldest princess Anyang ran after Prince Zhongshun, seeming to show her good intentions, and cried and made a fuss after being rejected by the prince."

As he spoke, he took out an envelope from his arms and presented it with both hands: "When I just returned home, I happened to meet the boy next to shopkeeper Zhong Da who came to deliver a letter to you, so he brought the letter in for you."

Qin Yining took the letter and saw that there was no letterhead on it, so he curiously pulled out the letter paper.

The content of the letter was very simple. There were only four words written in flying colors that penetrated the back of the paper: This is absolutely not the case.

It was Pang Xiao who was afraid that she would have random thoughts, so he specially sent a note!

Qin Yining immediately laughed.
