Chapter 288
Early in the morning as the sun rise once again, Qin Jiu got up early after a good night’s sleep and started ordering her servants to start moving her things.
A commotion was heard early in Wanxing courtyard as heavy camphor boxes were lifted out of the house and piled up in the yard. Du Rou was as busy as a spinning top, checking the contents of the camphor boxes before lacking it herself and asking the servants to move the boxes outside the gate.
Meanwhile, with Du Rou around Qin Jiu just moved her lips instructing what to do next.
Old Madam Qin was not willing to part with her grandchildren just yet, so she called Qin Jiu over early in the morning to her courtyard, and dragged her to talk long-windedly.
“Jiu’er, I think it’s better to move out in two days and tidy up slowly. Why bother move away in such a hurry!”
“Don’t you be afraid of your second uncle, I’m still here, I don’t believe he dares to drive you away!”
“Your house also needs to be repaired…”
However, no matter how much Old Madam Qin persuades Qin Jiu, the latter just refused to agree and instead changes the topic as she smiled and coaxes Old Madam Qin to go to their place to visit them.
And since Old Madam Qin was unable to persuade Qin Jiu, she changes the direction of the conversation instead, saying, “Qin Jiu even if you move away, you should come back to see me more often in the future.”
“Do not learn from your fifth brother ah, he has a wild temperament. Every time he goes out, he looks like a paper kite with a broken string…”
Old Madam Qin then continued to talk about whatever she thought of, she even grumbled about how Qin Zeyu didn’t write many letters to her during the few months when he was at the academy to study last year.
Qin Jiu: “…”
Qin Jiu knew that Old Madam Qin was only soft-heartened and doesn’t have bad intentions, she was actually a good person.
She held Old Madam Qin’s arm and coaxed her nicely, “Grandma, don’t worry, I’m here, I’ll keep an eye on A’Yu from now on, and I’ll make him come to pay his respects to you often.”
“A’Yu just needs to be taught a lesson, from now on if he doesn’t behave, you can beat him!”
Qin Zeyu, who was by the carriage in front, just heard Qin Jiu’s words and felt his heart and liver had already been hit violently. Why does she have to beat him? He has been very good lately, okay!
Hold on!
Qin Zeyu suddenly remembered something, and nervously looked at Gu Zezhi beside him, afraid that he might have heard what his sister had said just now.
“Neigh”
Fortunately, Gu Zezhi’s white horse gave two neighs and rubbed its neck against its owner, Gu Zezhi fed it a piece of maltose with a smile on his lips.
Brother-in-law probably didn’t hear it, right? Qin Zeyu looked at Gu Zezhi and then at Old Madam Qin and Qin Jiu who was not far away.
The grandmother and granddaughter were getting closer to where Qin Zeyu and Gu Zezhi were, but Qin Jiu was still busy coaxing Old Madam Qin, “Grandma, don’t worry, I will come over to talk with you from time to time.”
“I will also decorate a yard for you, and when it is ready, you can often come and stay.”
“….”
Seeing her sister’s “filial and virtuous” look, Qin Zeyu breathed a sigh of relief and deliberately interrupted Qin Jiu, “Grandma, third sister, brother-in-law is here to help us move!”
Qin Jiu looked at Gu Zezhi and a bright smile bloomed on her pretty face.
Whenever she smiles, her little face looked more lovable like a flower that blooms early in spring, bright and tender.
Qin Zeyu sighed once again, fortunately, his sister still has a face to look at.
He quietly wiped the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead and felt really worried about his sister.
Their things have actually been packed up, at the gate parked a full seven or eight carriages, and almost every carriage was loaded to the brim.
Since she could not persuade her grandchildren, Old Madam Qin didn’t want to keep them any longer, fearing that it would delay their move, she urged, “Jiu’er, since you still need to tidy the house after you move there, don’t delay, go quickly. After you settle down in two days, come and see me again.”
Cui momo also echoed a few words at the side as her eyes were slightly red, she has even more complex emotions than the old madam, while the old madam Qin silently reminded Qin Zening to take a good care of himself.
After a cup of tea, the carriages of Qin Jiu, Qin Zening, and Qin Zeyu drove away from the marquis’ residence, one after the other, all the way to the west of the city.
They have been busy all day, and finally, they could now move to their new home.
As early as November last year, Qin Jiu asked Qin Zening to buy a house in the capital. She chose a house in Xihulu Alley in the city, and in recent months, she also went to Xihulu Alley to repair and tidy up from time to time, so that they could immediately move once everything was settled down.
The place was just an ordinary two-courtyard mansion, compared to the Marquis’ residence this mansion was certainly small, but to Qin Jiu, this hand-decorated mansion was more like her home.
Qin Jiu volunteered to take Gu Zezhi for a stroll in the new house. There were only a few gatekeepers and maidservants they brought with them; besides that, the whole place was completely empty as far as the eye could see, it was deserted and only trees and grasses could be seen swaying with the wind as if dancing.
Qin Jiu walked while cheerfully introducing the paces to Gu Zezhi, “In the future, big brother and fifth brother will live in the outer courtyard, and I will live alone in the inner courtyard for the time being, which is a little bigger.”
“However, when I have a sister-in-law later, the mansion will not look big but I’ve got a solution!”
Qin Jiu was very satisfied with the new house, smiling brightly like spring she thought of how to decorate the new home properly.
