"Cousin, let me take you to the back garden for a stroll. The lotus flowers in the back garden are blooming just right! My eldest brother helped me get a boat, but it's a pity that I can't row..."
Lian Suisui looked at the girl who was talking. Mrs. Qin told her that her uncle had a cousin named Qin Shiqiong who grew up in the army and had a lively personality.
It's really lively when you look at it like this. For ladies in the capital, it's enough to stand by the water and watch it. It's troublesome to walk in and get your clothes wet.
She also wanted to paddle to the middle of the lake. If she fell into the water, she would not only be in trouble, but also get talked about by others.
"What are you looking at? I'm not taking you there!"
Qin Shiqiong didn't like Lian Suisui's gaze, so she glared at her and pretended to take the two Chen sisters to the back garden.
Lian Suisui chuckled and said deliberately: "Be kind to one and favor others. Is this how my cousin treats guests? Or is this how the Qin family treats guests?"
"If I don't like you, what does it have to do with the rest of my family? Lian Suisui, don't bite and talk nonsense!"
Lian Suisui snorted and asked sincerely: "Have I offended my cousin? Why don't you like me? Are you like those ordinary people outside who judge people by their appearance and think I'm not good-looking?"
She was just looking for trouble. Qin Shiqiong said angrily: "Why do you think you offended me?"
Even Suisui thought about it seriously, but she really didn't remember it!
"You disrupted my father's celebration banquet and made our Qin family a joke in the capital. Where do you think you offended me?"
The little girl was so angry that she glared, "There is no King Cheng in the back garden, why do you come with us? Go to the front yard to find your fiancé!"
Lian Suisui sighed inwardly. It seemed that the original owner had really offended the relatives around him. Qin Shiqiong was young and had a bad temper, and he could still accuse her in front of her.
She was as restrained as the old lady and her two aunts. She was neither enthusiastic nor rude to her, so she was very restrained.
If it weren't for her mother's sake, I probably wouldn't even want to give her this dignity.
"It's my fault that my cousin is embarrassed to see people!" Lian Suisui apologized sincerely, "I shouldn't have caused trouble at the banquet, but the matter has passed. We can't just focus on the mistakes. Give me a chance to make up for it. Well!"
She didn't find any reason to shirk it. Although Qin Shiqiong was angry, it was hard for her to have another attack.
"What are you doing to make up for the reputation of our Qin family! Two cousins, let's go!"
This is the first time she has returned to Beijing with her father at this age. Originally, the Qin family was the main protagonist of the banquet. Who would have thought that a Lian Suisui would come out in the middle of the banquet and make a mess of the banquet? Such rumors.
I originally thought she would change for the better, but what has she done in the past few months? She is pestering Song Jingwei and has rumors with Uncle Nine Emperors. Such a person... even a dog would not believe her!
Today was the Qin family's banquet. It was not easy for the Chen sisters to take charge of the family for Qin Shiqiong. Qin Shiqiong was still angry, so Chen Wanli gave Lian Suisui a look and would help her put in a good word in front of Qin Shiqiong.
Lian Suisui stopped and watched them go away.
"Miss, the Miss Qin family has gone too far. Mrs. Qin didn't say anything. Why would she vent her anger on you?"
In the past, Lian Suisui would have been accustomed to being disliked wherever they went, and Xiao Tao would not have complained because she had been numbed by the scolding.
In the past few months, Suisui's changes have been seen by Xiao Tao. Xiao Tao feels very uncomfortable that her young lady is still being rejected by others even though she has changed her ways.
"And even though you apologized, Miss Qin still held on..."
Xiao Tao muttered something and looked up at Lian Suisui's expression.
Lian Suisui hit her on the forehead.
"Silly Xiaotao, just because I apologize doesn't mean others will forgive me! The Qin family has never participated in human relations in the capital, and my mother doesn't like to make friends with others, but she wants the Qin family to accept me. Why do you think it is?"
Xiaotao doesn't understand.
"The Qin family is not only my mother's family, but also the people who can protect me! Even my ancestors are white, and my father climbed from the lowest level of the Ministry of Rites to his current position. If it weren't for the Qin family, he wouldn't It went so smoothly. Now that I have an engagement with King Cheng, I am afraid that I will be bullied in the royal family."
Even Suisui said that she could rely on herself, but Mrs. Qin still wanted to find a way out for her in her own way.
"How could I let down my mother's kindness!"
Mrs. Qin gave her a sense of belonging in this strange place, and she must work hard to become a daughter that makes her proud.
"Then why don't you follow? Miss Qin didn't chase you, let's follow ourselves to the head office."
Lian Suisui knocked on her forehead again.
"I have made mistakes before, but I cannot lose my character just because of my short-term mistakes. Blindly trying to please others will only turn me into a licker!"
Xiao Tao made a sound.
"What is dog licking?"
Lian Suisui: "Just, being looked down upon by others."
"Anyway, Xiao Tao, please remember that no one is a saint. No one can make mistakes. Just change them. Don't hold on to them all the time. It doesn't make any sense. People should always look forward and cherish the present. Do you understand?"
Xiao Tao nodded.
The most famous thing in the Qin family's ancestral house is the pond of lotus. Water from the moat outside the city was introduced into the house to create a pond filled with lotus. In midsummer, the lotus blooming in the pond is fascinating.
It's a pity that the Qin family never entertains guests, so others can't see the scenery of the lotus pond.
It was a rare opportunity to appreciate the scenery hidden in the depths. Lian Suisui and Xiao Tao found a viewing position and sat down against the rockery, blowing the breeze from the lake. It was very comfortable.
"Cherish the moment……"
Chu Zhiyi on the other side of the rockery chuckled and waved to Shuying, who squatted down.
Chu Zhiyi whispered to Shuying, and the confusion on Shuying's face flashed away, and he agreed and left.
The rockery is not very high, so Lian Suisui simply climbed up to see further. On the promenade across the water not far away, there were many guests coming to see the view. Suddenly, someone pointed at the water and shouted.
"Someone fell into the water!"
Lian Suisui looked over and saw that the person speaking was the maid from the Qin Mansion. The maid pointed to the lotus pond in the distance. Lian Suisui looked in the direction they pointed and saw movement among the lotus flowers there.
She stood on tiptoe and could barely see that the location was a certain distance away from the promenade and the shore. If the maid hadn't discovered it, no one would have known that someone fell into the water over there, and they might have thought it was a big fish.
"Come quickly, someone fell into the water1"
None of the ladies and ladies who came to see the scenery knew how to swim, and the guards could not catch up in a short while.
Seeing the person who fell into the water running farther and farther, Lian Suisui took off the headdress and threw it to Xiao Tao, then jumped down from the rockery into the water and swam towards that place.
Her jumping posture was graceful, and she plunged into the water without any movement for a long time. When she emerged again, she was already very close to the person who had fallen into the water.
There were exclamations in the corridor, and everyone watched intently as Lian Suisui swam to the drowning person in the water and fished the person out of the water.
"Yeah, it's a girl!"
Someone on the shore said, "How could it be a girl? How did she get there?"
"The water is so deep. If it hadn't been for Miss Lian San today, she might have died1"
"Yes, thanks to Miss Liansan!"
The person submerged in the water had already fainted, and even Suisui didn't dare to delay and fished the person to the shore.
