More than an hour later, Han Li followed Qin Yan out of the secret room and returned to his image of a country bumpkin.
The head of the Qin family, who returned to the living room, immediately gave instructions in front of the third lady to have someone clean up a clean place in the back house so that nephew Han could live in the Qin Mansion forever.
On the surface, the reason is grand. He, Mr. Qin, wants to cultivate this junior well in order to repay the great kindness his ancestors did to him back then.
Seeing this, the third lady opened her mouth, but still didn't say anything against it!
She was very scheming and wise enough to hear that Qin Yan had already made his decision and would not allow others to refute it. And based on her feeling, there must be something fishy between Han Xian's nephew and her husband.
But since Qin Yan didn't tell her the details, she naturally wouldn't do anything that would offend her and make her fall out of favor.
However, she had some whimsical guesses that her husband was so serious about Han Shi's nephew because he was an illegitimate child from having sex outside when he was young. Otherwise, how could he be so eclipsed when he read the letter, and later on?
Such enthusiasm again.
The overly minded Third Lady, the more she thought about it, the more she felt it was like this, and she felt a little unhappy. However, she still had a nonchalant expression on her face, and she became more and more kind to Han Li.
Just like that, under Master Qin's repeated instructions, Han Li followed Qin Ping out of the hall again and asked him to see if he was satisfied with the residence.
This time, Qin Ping's face was no longer as rigid as when he came. Instead, it was full of smiles, and he kept calling him "Master Han"! He completely changed his previous indifference towards Han Li and directly chose to
Sexually forgotten.
Although Han Li had a flattered expression on his face, he secretly sighed in his heart that these mortal servants were so good at following the wind. They were so cowardly and respectful, and did not show any embarrassment at all.
I don’t know if I should say that they are thick-skinned, or that they are already accustomed to this way of life.
Then Qin Ping took Han Li and turned a few times along the path of the back house before arriving at a quiet triple courtyard.
The environment here was elegant and delicate, and extremely quiet. Han Li nodded secretly after looking at it, feeling that it was very satisfactory.
It seemed that Qin Yan had put a lot of thought into choosing a good place for him to live.
"Master Han, this is your residence! This is the best courtyard in the Qin Mansion. Normally, if the guests are not valued by the master, no one will stay here!" Qin Ping led Han Li into the courtyard.
, explained to Han Li somewhat fawningly.
Han Li scratched his head and grinned innocently, as if he didn't know what to say.
Qin Ping skipped this point very wisely and changed the topic:
"Young Master Han hasn't had dinner yet, right? I'm going to ask the kitchen to bring you food. Please wait a moment!"
After saying this, Qin Ping respectfully backed out of the yard, then turned around and left.
When Han Li saw this person gradually walking away, he smiled faintly, turned around and opened the door.
The layout of these rooms is worthy of the surrounding environment, and they are equally chic and elegant.
After walking around in a circle, Han Li felt more and more satisfied and couldn't help but wonder who had arranged this place.
Qin Ping was really very quick! Not long after, a servant girl came to deliver the meal carrying a huge bamboo box.
Smelling the aroma of rice, Han Li, who had been living without food for several years, was really greedy. Without any courtesy, he ate up several plates of exquisite side dishes and a bowl of rice.
Qin Ping, who finally came over and saw the leftovers, was naturally a little funny. But on the surface, he still respectfully asked Han Li to go to the hall again. Because the master of the Qin family wanted to introduce people from the Qin house to Han Li.
…
When Han Li walked into the living room for the second time, there were no longer Guang Qinyan and the third lady, but there were twenty or thirty people standing and sitting, both men and women.
When Qin Yan cordially greeted Han Li to sit next to him, the older people in the hall were a little stunned, but they didn't have any extreme reactions. But the younger ladies and young masters of the Qin family couldn't hold back their anger.
.Immediately, a favored young master stood up and asked with some dissatisfaction:
"Grandpa, who is this brother? How come we brothers and sisters have never met each other before? Is this the reason why we are summoned?"
Qin Yan naturally heard the little grandson's displeasure, but he didn't give him a good look at all. Instead, he glared at him and said with a cold voice:
"Step down, do you have the right to speak here? What about this person and that person! This is Han Li - Han Xian's nephew. His ancestors have been very kind to our Qin family in life and death. Don't be rude to him.
!”
Qin Yan's words immediately caused everyone in the living room, except the third lady, to become commotion.
All kinds of guessing and curious eyes were cast on Han Li at the same time. Han Li also showed an uneasy expression just right, twisting back and forth a few times as if there were nails under his butt.
The young master of the Qin family retreated speechlessly with his face turning red and white.
This person never expected that Qin Yan, who usually doted on him very much, would speak so mercilessly today. He was embarrassed in front of so many brothers and sisters!
After this incident, the young master will naturally not have any good impressions of Han Li! Of course, he will not be naive, and will do anything unkind to Han Li after Qin Yan has given instructions.
After all, it seemed that this country bumpkin occupied a very important position in his grandfather's heart, and he did not want to lose Qin Yan's favor because of this.
With this outstanding example here, others will naturally not make any hostile behavior. Instead, most of them looked at Han Li and showed a kind look.
At this time, Qin Yan smiled, pointed at the people in the room and introduced Han Li:
"This is mine. My eldest son Qin Zhi is now helping me take care of all the business in Yuejing. He has a pretty good mind. That is my second son..."
While Han Li nodded casually, he secretly remembered every member of the Qin family introduced by Qin Yan. These are the people he wants to protect!
However, Mr. Qin is really good at having children. He has five sons, three daughters, and several grandchildren.
Among them, the eldest son and the second son are both in their thirties and have young families. The one who asked just now is the eldest son's second son.
What's funny is that Qin Yan's youngest son, only five or six years old, is actually a little kid who can only suck his fingers.
Han Li felt funny in his heart when he thought that the sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man would call this sobbing child "Fifth Uncle".
As for Qin Yan's wife, in addition to the third wife he met in the morning, there is also a second wife who is in her forties, and seven or eight other younger concubines.
However, Qin Yan's first wife was not in the hall. It was said that she was eating fast and chanting Buddha's name at the moment, so she would not go out to see people anymore.
In addition, there are two men in their forties, who are Qin Yan's second and third brothers.
They each manage a part of the Qin family's business, and they are considered to be the more important people in the Qin family. Of course, they also have several children in this hall, but Han Li just jotted down the names of these people and didn't bother to pay any more attention to them.
After all, he has limited energy alone, so he can only focus on protecting Qin Yan, a member of the eldest family.
"Hey! Where is my cousin?"
After Qin Yan introduced everyone in the living room, he suddenly found that one person was missing, so he couldn't help but turned sideways and asked the third lady beside him.
"Sir, my cousin felt that she, a widowed person, was not suitable for meeting outsiders, so she didn't come! Do you want to call her over again?" After hearing this, the third lady said in a low voice, with a look of hesitation on her face.
"It doesn't matter. Nephew Han Xian is not an outsider, so let's meet him!" Qin Yan said "Oh" after hearing this, then thought about it and said.
"I know, sir!"
"Xiao Lian, go and call your cousin here quickly, and tell her that the master invited her here!"
The third lady gave a calm order to the little girl standing behind her.
"Yes, ma'am." The little maid who had shown Han Li the way before immediately ran out through the side door cleverly.
Only then did Qin Yan turn around and explain to Han Li in a low voice:
"There is another person who is not here. She is a young woman that my first wife rescued from the river on her way to visit relatives seven or eight years ago."
"This woman was extremely pitiful. Not only did she lose her memory due to hitting her head, but she also had scars all over her body. My wife was kind-hearted. After curing her, she found that she was homeless, so she asked a brother of her mother's family to adopt her as an adopted daughter.
Give her a place to stay!"
"But this woman is really unfortunate. Although she got married with the help of her adoptive father, her fiancée fell into a river due to drunkenness just three days after they got married. It stands to reason that at such a young age, this woman can naturally choose someone to remarry.
But this woman is actually a loyal person, and she is willing to never marry and become a widow for her husband who has just lived with her for three days. This is a good talk in the local area, and it will bring a lot of face to my wife’s mother-in-law’s family!”
"Later, his adoptive father passed away due to illness. My wife saw that it was pitiful for her to be guarding the empty house alone, so she brought her here to be her companion, so that she could take care of her!"
