Chapter 281: Qin Residence Crowd, Miss Cousin
More than an hour later, Han Li came out from within the secret room along with Qin Yan, reverting back to the image of a bumpkin.
And returning to the living room within the Qin family’s head, in front of the Third Lady, he immediately ordered that someone pack a clean residence within the back of the mansion, so that this Han Shiyi nephew could live in the Qin residence for a long time.
On the surface of the reason for the grand, his Qin master to cultivate some of this late generation, in order to repay the year people ancestors on his great kindness.
Seeing this, the Third Mistress opened her mouth, but still didn’t say anything against it!
She was wise enough to hear that Qin Yan had already made up his mind and would not allow others to refute it. And based on her feeling, there must be something fishy between this Han Xian Nephew and her husband.
But since Qin Yan didn’t tell her the details, she naturally wouldn’t do anything that would cause her to lose favor.
However, she has some whimsical speculation, her husband to this Han nephew so solemn, could it be that when he was young, outside the womanizing left behind the illegitimate child not. Otherwise, read the letter will be so colorless, and later and such enthusiasm.
This heart too live third lady, the more you think about it, the more you think it’s like this, the heart is a little unhappy. However, she still made an expression on her face as if nothing had happened, and became more and more cordial to Han Li.
In this way, under Master Qin’s repeated instructions, Han Li once again followed Qin Ping out of the hall so that he could go and see if he was satisfied with the accommodation.
This time, Qin Ping’s face was no longer the same expression as when he arrived, but was full of smiles, and he addressed him as “Young Master Han”! Completely forgetting about his previous coldness towards Han Li, he had directly and selectively forgotten about it.
Although Han Li made a flattered expression on his face, in his heart, he secretly sighed that these mortals who were subordinates were truly exceptional in their ability to read the wind and steer the ship. With such arrogance, they didn’t even show the slightest color of embarrassment. It seems to have gotten used to this way of living.
Afterward, Qin Ping led Han Li, turning a few times along the path of the back residence, he arrived in front of a quiet courtyard.
The environment here was elegant and refined, and unusually quiet, causing Han Li to secretly nod his head as he looked at it. He felt that it was very much to his liking.
It seemed that Qin Yan had gone to great lengths to pick a good place for him to live.
”Young Master Han, this is your residence! This is the best compound in the Qin residence. Normally, if it wasn’t for the master’s valued guests, he wouldn’t let anyone in at all!” After leading Han Li into the courtyard, Qin Ping explained to Han Li in a somewhat bashful manner.
Han Li scratched his head and grinned nervously, seemingly at a loss for what to say.
Qin Ping also skipped over this topic and said, “Young Master Han shouldn’t have eaten dinner yet, right? I’ll go and ask the kitchen to send you dinner, please wait a moment!”
After saying this. Qin Ping then respectfully backed out of the courtyard before turning to leave.
Han Li saw this person gradually drift away before he faintly smiled and turned around to push open the door to the house.
The arrangement of these few rooms was worthy of its surroundings, just as chic and elegant.
After turning around, Han Li became more and more satisfied. He couldn’t help but wonder who had arranged this place.
That Qin Ping is also really fast! Not long ago, there was a servant carrying a large bamboo box to send food.
Smell the fragrance of rice. Han Li, who had been in the valley for several years, really had some cravings. Unceremoniously, he swept away several plates of exquisite small dishes and a bowl of rice.
As for Qin Ping, who finally came over and saw the leftovers, he was naturally a bit amused. But on the surface, he still looked respectful and asked Han Li to go to the hall again. It was because the master of the Qin family, wanted to introduce the people of the Qin residence to Han Li.
……
When Han Li walked into the living room for the second time. It was no longer just Qin Yan and the Third Lady, but there were as many as twenty to thirty men and women standing and sitting.
When Qin Yan cordially greeted Han Li and sat beside him, the older ones in the hall were not overly reactive except for some consternation. However, the younger Qin Clan misses and young masters couldn’t hold their breath. Immediately, there was a more favored son who stood out with some dissatisfaction and asked: ”Grandpa, who is this brother? How come our several siblings have never seen it before, could it be that we were summoned just for this person?”
Qin Yan naturally heard this young grandson’s displeasure, but he didn’t give him a good face at all, instead, after glaring at him, his face sank as he said in a chilling voice: “Stand down, is there a place for you to speak here? What’s this person, that person! This is Han Li – Han Xian Nephew, whose ancestor had a great gift of life and death to our Qin Family, do not be rude to him!”
Qin Yan’s words instantly caused the crowd in the living room, other than the Third Mistress, to burst into an uproar.
All sorts of speculative and curious eyes were placed on Han Li at the same time. Han Li, on the other hand, also aptly displayed an uneasy look, wriggling back and forth a few times as if there were nails under his buttocks.
As for that young master of the Qin Clan, his face alternated between red and white as he wordlessly retreated.
This person had never expected that Qin Yan, who usually favored him very much, would speak so unmercifully today. He had lost his face in front of so many brothers and sisters!
After this incident, this eunuch naturally wouldn’t have any good feelings towards Han Li! Of course, he wouldn’t be so naïve as to do anything unkind to Han Li after Qin Yan had opened his mouth to command him.
After all, it seemed that this bumpkin occupied a very important place in his grandfather’s heart, and he didn’t want to lose Qin Yan’s favor because of it.
With the example of this outspoken person here, the others naturally wouldn’t make any more hostile moves, but instead, most of them exchanged glances with Han Li and revealed a kindly look.
At this point, Qin Yan smiled and pointed at the people in the room, introducing Han Li: “This is my eldest son, Qin Zhi, who is now helping me with all the business in Yuejing, and has a pretty good head on his shoulders. That’s my second son ……”
Han Li made a haphazard nodding gesture on one side, while secretly memorizing within his heart every person of the Qin family introduced by Qin Yan, these could be the people he wanted to include in his protection!
However, this Elder Qin was really able to give birth to a total of five sons, three daughters, and several grandchildren.
Among them, the eldest son and the second son have been more than thirty years of age, all have a small family. The one who inquired just now is the second son of the oldest.
But the funny thing was that Qin Yan’s youngest fifth son was only five or six years old, and was actually a little kid who could only suck his fingers.
When Han Li thought of that 16 or 17 year old youth calling this child with a sobbing nose “Uncle Five”, his heart secretly felt funny.
As for Qin Yan’s wives, in addition to the third wife he had met in the morning, there was also a second wife in her forties and seven or eight other younger concubines.
And Qin Yan’s first wife was not in the hall, listening to her say that she is now eating fasting and reciting Buddha, easily no longer come out to see people.
In addition, there are two men in their forties, Qin Yan’s second and third brothers.
Each of them manages a part of the Qin family’s business, and can be regarded as the more important people in the Qin residence. Of course, they likewise had a few children within this hall, but these people Han Li only slightly memorized the names and didn’t bother to pay attention anymore.
After all, he had limited energy alone, and could only focus on protecting Qin Yan, a member of the long house.
”Hehe! Where’s cousin miss?”
After Qin Yan had introduced all the people in the living room, he suddenly realized that there was still one missing person who had not come, and could not help but sidle up to the Third Mistress at the side and ask.
”Master, Miss Cousin didn’t come because she felt that it was not too suitable for a widowed person to meet outsiders! Is it necessary to go and summon her over again?” Hearing this, the Third Mistress said in a low voice, some hesitation on her face.
”It doesn’t matter, Han Xian Nephew is not an outsider, it’s better to meet her!” Qin Yan heard this and said with an “oh” sound before thinking for a moment.
”Understood, Master!”
”Xiao Lian, go quickly and summon cousin miss here, say that master invited her!”
The Third Mistress rushed at the little girl standing behind her and faintly commanded.
”Yes, ma’am.” This little maid, who had once shown Han Li the way, immediately and smartly ran out through the side door, with a small step.
It was then that Qin Yan turned back and explained to Han Li in a low voice, “There’s another one who didn’t come, a young woman that my original wife rescued from the river on her way to save her family seven or eight years ago.”
”This woman was extremely pitiful, not only did she lose her memory due to a headbutt, but she was also covered in scars. My wife had a good heart, and after healing her and seeing that she had no home to go back to, she let one of her mother’s family’s brothers take her in as a foster daughter, which was also considered to give her a place to live!”
”But this woman is also really unfortunate, although in her righteous father set up a marriage, but just three days after the door, his fiancé son-in-law even lost his footing in the river due to drunkenness. According to reason, this woman’s young age can naturally choose someone to remarry. But this woman is a chaste nature, even willing not to marry, just live together for three days for this husband and son-in-law widowhood. This is a local story, can give my wife’s mother’s family a lot of face ah!”
”Later his father died due to illness, my wife to see her alone to guard the empty room is really poor, it will be received here with her to do the next companion, but also by the way to understand this girl!” Qin Yan said while sighing!
