Chapter 195 The Princess Arrives
As the two of them chatted, Lord Pan simply pulled Eunuch De to sit at a table nearby and did not even enter the house.
"Eunuch De, please have some tea, gentlemen." Qin Ziyan brought the tea personally.
"Who is this...?" Eunuch De looked carefully at the young man in front of him. Although he knew what he was thinking, he still asked politely.
"Reporting to the eunuch, I am Qin Ziyan, the eldest grandson of the Qin family." After Qin Ziyan finished speaking, he stood up straight and answered the eunuch De's question neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"A son of the Qin family? Well! After seeing you today, I find that your reputation is indeed well-deserved." Eunuch De spoke politely without hesitation.
Before coming to the Qin family, I had already found out all the details about the Qin family, but they were all polite words.
Qin Ruo winked at Old Lady Qin and Qin Zimu, and the two of them gritted their teeth and stepped forward to greet Eunuch De.
In the past, whenever she faced County Magistrate Jiang, Old Lady Jiang always felt uncomfortable.
What's more, Qin Ruo had just whispered to her that this eunuch was a big shot around the emperor, so Old Lady Qin felt even more uncomfortable.
I have to think several times before saying anything, which is more tiring than farming in the past.
Fortunately, Eunuch De did not make things difficult for her. He just said a few polite words to her and Qin Zimu and then let it go.
The people of the Zhou family took the initiative to stay away. They all understood when they were present just now that the eunuch in front of them was from the palace.
He was afraid that if he accidentally said something wrong, he would not only lose his head but also bring trouble to the Qin family.
At the same time, Old Lady Zhou was happy for Qin Ruo. Not only did she receive the emperor's reward, but now she had been transformed into a princess. The Qin family was truly blessed.
Qin Huaisheng placed the imperial edict respectfully on the table. When the Qin family's ancestral hall is built in the future, he will be invited to the Qin family's ancestral hall. Now his steps are floating.
Qin Ruo had already changed into the princess' court dress brought by Eunuch De and went through the formalities.
Old Lady Qin looked at Qin Ruo who was wearing court dress and felt that her granddaughter immediately gained a sense of majesty after putting on this dress. The more she looked at her, the prouder she became.
When the dishes prepared by the Qin family were served, Eunuch Qin was quite surprised. His reaction was the same as that of the diners who had gone to Xun Yu Ji.
"We are so lucky today. I never thought that we could eat such novel food in such a small place."
County Magistrate Jiang had already eaten before, and he smiled and introduced the food on the table to Eunuch De.
Upon learning that it was a product of Xun Yu Ji, Eunuch De was completely stunned and said that he had learned a lot.
The emperor naturally knew that Qin Ruo ran a restaurant. At first, Eunuch De didn't take it seriously, thinking that Xunyuji was similar to any other restaurant.
The dishes are the same, nothing special.
Only after tasting the food did I realize that the dishes in the restaurant run by this princess were things I had never seen in the capital.
Qin Ruo was very thoughtful and even arranged two tables for the guards and palace servants brought by Eunuch De, which instantly won her favor with Eunuch De.
Eunuch De nodded secretly in his heart. This princess looks dignified and elegant. She is not only intelligent and well-mannered, but also thoughtful and knowledgeable about the ways of the world. No wonder she was appreciated by the Ninth Prince and was personally recommended for a title for her.
After having a good meal and a few drinks, Eunuch De was just about to follow Lord Pan for a walk in the fields when Old Madam Xie and Si Heng arrived.
"Your servant greets the eldest princess and the ninth prince. May they live long lives." Eunuch De quickly took the lead and knelt down.
Old Mrs. Qin was completely confused. Ruo'er didn't say that Old Madam Xie and Si Heng had this identity?
Why didn’t you remind yourself earlier?
Fortunately, when Si Heng had eaten at Qin's house several times before, he always called everyone "Little Si, Little Si". Old Mrs. Qin knelt on the ground and broke out in a cold sweat.
Old Madam Xie smiled and personally helped Qin Ruo up, then raised her hand and asked everyone to stand up.
"Everyone, get up. I have nothing else to do here today. I just came to see my daughter Ruo'er because I have nothing to do. You don't have to worry about me. Go and do your own things."
"Eunuch De has traveled a long way to deliver the imperial edict to Ruo'er. You must treat him well and don't lose your manners."
"This is natural. Ruo'er must not neglect Eunuch De." Qin Ruo stepped forward and held Madam Xie's hand, feeling a little warm in her heart.
On the surface, Mrs. Xie's words seemed to be a warning to herself, but in reality, anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was supporting herself. She must have been afraid that Eunuch De would make things difficult for her.
This was the case when Xunyu Ji opened, and it is still the case now.
Qin Ruo was deeply moved by Madam Xie's kindness.
"You are too kind, Princess. It is my honor to serve the princess. The Qin family has a strict family tradition, and the men in the Qin family are also very outstanding. In particular, our Princess Ning'an is smart and clever, and can be regarded as a representative of women in Dasheng. It is my honor to meet her today."
Eunuch De is a shrewd man, and his words are full of praise for Qin Ruo and the Qin family.
The eldest princess made it clear that she was here to support Qin Ruo, so he naturally wouldn't do anything to spoil her fun.
At first, he just thought that the Ninth Prince had taken a fancy to a commoner woman and wanted to use this incident to raise her status.
As for being the eldest princess's most admired junior, given the Ninth Prince's temper, is there anything he dare not say?
After seeing her today, I realized that I was really wrong. The relationship between the eldest princess and Princess Ning'an is really special.
"Eunuch De, you are too kind. Ning An and the Qin family really don't deserve it. The Qin family is just a small family in the countryside. To be favored by the emperor and the eldest princess is a blessing that the Qin family has accumulated for several generations." Qin Ruo smiled slightly and responded to Eunuch De's words appropriately.
Si Heng stood by, smiling but saying nothing.
That's right, he did it on purpose. After hearing about what the Shen family did, there was a lot of anger in my heart.
Isn't it that the Shen family is relying on their high status to look down on Qin Ruo?
Then he had to raise Qin Ruo's status to show them how blind he was. He mistook pearls for fish eyes.
But he didn't expect that the old man had another trick up his sleeve.
He was reluctant to even give Qin Ruo a mansion. It was just a title for nothing. He was really stingy.
When Si Heng thought of this, he couldn't help but frown again.
"I...I am honored to meet the Princess. I was blind before and offended you many times." Old Mrs. Qin walked forward with shaking hands. The smile on her face was uglier than crying.
When in Taihe County, Mrs. Xie came to Qin's house several times and the two of them had a very pleasant chat.
At that time, Old Lady Qin secretly felt impressed in her heart that this noble man was quite kind and could chat with a country woman like her.
It's not at all like what those people outside say, that noble people's eyes are as long as their heads and they treat the poor like ants.
"Why call me Princess? You are Ruo'er's grandmother, it's too formal. Just call me elder sister as usual."
Old Madam Xie took Old Lady Qin's hand and patted it, gently comforting the frightened Old Lady Qin.
"Thank you, grandma. You're here. Come, I'll take you to see what Brother Zimu and I came up with. It's really fun. Jiu, you can come with us."
Qin Tiaotiao jumped out from somewhere, pulled Old Madam Xie into the house, and did not forget to turn around and wave to Cang Jiu.
