Chapter 334: Rong Chi Likes Excitement
The temperature dropped accordingly, and the various manors had free time, visiting relatives and holding banquets. 【33
What flower-viewing parties, harvest festivals, and all sorts of banquets.
The Qin Yan Hou Fu sends out invitations every year, and this year is no exception.
Qin Bi looked at the invitation, returned it to Qin Lang, and asked, "Is Qin He going too?"
"Qin He definitely has to go." Qin Lang said helplessly. "When has Qin He ever been missing? Qin He loves these kinds of banquets the most. I've discovered that her Fubao also likes to show off."
Qin Lang discovered that Fubao, at such a young age, already likes to show off in front of people.
Qin Bi naturally knew this too. She pondered, and Qin Lang said, "Jiejie, you must go; everyone is waiting for you."
Qin Bi smiled: "Fine."
Qin Lang immediately beamed, and Qin Lang went to the study to find Rong Juan again.
Rong Shizi left the invitation and asked: "Is your Jiejie going?"
Qin Lang nodded: "She is."
Rong Juan nodded and tossed the invitation onto the table. Even if Qin Bi didn't go, he would have to. The Qin Yan Hou Fu has always relied on him; Rong Shizi cannot fail to support the Qin Yan Hou Fu just because Qin Bi isn't going.
There is also He Shizi, who will certainly go as well. The Qin Yan Hou Fu can only rely on these two powerful Heir Apparents.
Qin Lang left. When Rong Yang heard that she was going to her maternal grandfather's house to attend a banquet, she was very expectant.
The little one didn't understand anything and looked at Rong Yang happily.
Qin Bi didn't plan to get up early that day; there was no need for a married daughter to go early. As it turned out, Qin Yan sent his half-brother Qin Xiang to the Rong Wang Fu. A half-son is the right-hand man of the eldest legitimate son, so Qin Xiang's arrival represented the Qin Shizi.
Rong Yang put the things she wanted to give to her cousins into the carriage. Seeing Qin Xiang, the child said: "Uncle."
Qin Xiang smiled, wanting to give candy to Rong Yang, but worried the child wouldn't care for it. After hesitating for a moment, Qin Xiang took some candy out of his storage bag: "Uncle didn't bring anything good."
Rong Yang accepted it generously; only children who are favored get candy to eat. "Uncle, do you have business here?"
Qin Xiang said: "I came to tell your mother to go back earlier."
Rong Yang couldn't make the decision, and it wasn't appropriate to talk to Qin Xiang at the gate, so she brought Qin Xiang into the manor to the Shizi's courtyard. Rong Shizi was looking for a small robe for the little milk bun, and Qin Bi was helping on the side.
Rong Juan didn't let the children disturb Qin Bi; when one's lifespan is damaged, the most feared thing is exhausting one's spirit.
But if Qin Bi liked to arrange for the children to go out, Rong Juan wouldn't stop her.
Because a little milk bun is loved by everyone, Qin Bi and Rong Juan put in a lot of effort.
Qin Bi was a bit surprised by Qin Xiang's arrival and came out of the bedroom.
Qin Bi came to the courtyard, where Rong Yang was keeping Qin Xiang company, just like a little adult.
Qin Bi said with a smile: "Cousin, I'm going back today. Is there something you came so early for?"
"Qin Yan asked me to tell you to go back earlier." Qin Xiang said gently: "Don't worry about it being inconvenient to bring the children; your sisters-in-law will watch the children for you."
Qin Bi understood. In Great Yan, if a married daughter is favored in her maiden home, she can participate in the family's affairs. Going to the Hou Fu early signifies that she has a say in her maiden home.
"I won't go early, right?" Qin Bi smiled: "I don't understand anything."
Qin Xiang didn't say anything else, delivered the message, and took his leave to return.
The Hou Fu was busy with affairs today, and Qin Xiang still had to help the Qin Shizi arrange many things, like entertaining guests; every step had to be perfect to avoid being laughed at by other noble families.
Rong Shizi had finished dressing the little milk bun, carried him out, and said to Qin Bi: "If you want to go, we can set off now."
"It's a bit early." Qin Bi shook her head; she had her own thoughts: "Based on Qin He's temper, she will definitely go back early. I won't go join in that excitement; we'll go a bit later."
Rong Juan glanced at Qin Bi: "You really don't like Qin He?"
Qin Bi said "Mm." Rong Shizi said: "The Qin Yan Hou Fu will be yours sooner or later. Qin He is nothing. You married me, Rong Juan; Xue Shizi cannot be the master of the Qin Yan Hou Fu."
Qin Bi didn't deny it. Rong Shizi indeed has that ability; Xue Shizi is like an outsider.
Thinking back, Rong Shizi was only lukewarm to the fourth branch, but he still took good care of the Qin Yan Hou Fu. Rong Shizi has always been a noble son-in-law who could call the shots in the Qin Yan Hou Fu; even He Yan cannot compare to Rong Shizi.
In the past, the only one who could talk to the Shizis was Qin He.
Because of this, the second branch lived the best.
Rong Juan and He Yan clearly both had ties to the fourth branch, yet they were the most indifferent to it. Qin Bi still hasn't figured it out, and it's not easy to ask directly. Even if Qin Bi asked, Rong Shizi might not necessarily clear up her confusion.
A powerful Heir Apparent does not show his emotions; how could he tell others his thoughts?
"Let me see if Rong Chi is handsome?" Qin Bi avoided Rong Juan's words and smiled, looking at the little milk bun: "Truly handsome."
The little milk bun said: "Handsome."
Qin Bi happily kissed the soft little fellow. Rong Yang tilted her little head and asked: "Do we still have to wait a while before we go?"
Qin Bi nodded: "Mm, we won't go early."
With that, Rong Yang wanted to eat spicy duck heads before leaving. Qin Bi ordered the kitchen to braise a pot of spicy duck heads. When the spicy duck heads were out of the pot, the two children held the duck heads and gnawed on them, while Qin Bi fed Rong Chi.
After they were full, the advisor had also prepared the gifts to bring.
Rong Shizi came out of the study, held his little son, and took his wife and children into the carriage to the Qin Yan Hou Fu. The Hou Fu was very lively at this moment, and many guests had arrived. Qin Xun and Qin Lang saw Qin Bi and immediately went to the carriage to carry Rong Yang down.
The little milk bun in Rong Juan's arms sought attention, anxious: "Uncle."
Qin Xun was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly reached out, but upon seeing Rong Juan, he intended to pull his hand back.
Rong Juan gave the little milk bun to Qin Xun: "Rong Chi likes excitement, don't ignore him."
What could Qin Xun say to a child? He doted on his little nephew for a moment and gave Rong Chi to Qin Lang. This boy also likes excitement; with these two uncle and nephew together, they certainly wouldn't stop talking.
Qin Yan came over, and Rong Juan exchanged pleasantries with him: "I'll go to the fourth branch first."
This was a sign of respect for Qin Bi's parents, and Qin Yan was naturally happy to see this and nodded in agreement.
Qin Lang held the little milk bun, and Rong Juan picked up Rong Yang. The child was delighted and happily lay on Rong Shizi's shoulder, talking to Qin Bi beside them. Everyone was laughing and chatting along the way.
The Hou Fu's daughters of concubines saw this and twisted their little handkerchiefs.
Originally, the daughters of concubines thought that since Qin Bi had broken the Heir Apparent's curse of losing wives and having no heirs, they could pick up the scraps. But what did they see? Rong Shizi was actually bowing his head and speaking gently to Qin Bi for the sake of the children.
Qin He followed the gaze of her half-sisters and smiled faintly: "It's just relying on having given birth to children."
A half-sister said indignantly: "In the past, she couldn't even compare to us."
Qin He said: "Once they fly onto a branch, they don't know who they are anymore."
"Rong Shizi is the Rong Wang Fu's Shizi; sooner or later there will be concubines." This half-sister said sourly, filled with jealousy: "Rong Shizi likes children; as long as one is favored, Qin Bi can give birth, and others can too."
Qin He nodded seriously: "Who is Rong Shizi? A powerful Heir Apparent of Great Yan; how could the backyard only have Qin Bi? Sooner or later there will be other women."
