Chapter 72 Is the Eldest Lady Not Worth Making Friends With?

Qin Liuxi watched the grandparents with interest, and then glanced at Qi Qian. The other party was running towards him. Look at that eye, it was like a wolf seeing meat, fragrant.

Qi Qian keenly noticed Qin Liuxi's eyes watching the play, frowned, and forced to suppress the strange feeling.

"Little Wang..." The old woman was still a few steps away from Qi Qian, and was stopped by Huolang, and she couldn't help but jump.

Huolang said: "Who are you?"

The old woman was a little embarrassed, but still bowed to Qi Qian, and smiled to explain her identity: "It's my fault that I didn't introduce my family. I am the mother of Ding Shouxin, the prefect of Ningzhou. When the old lady of your family celebrated her birthday last year, I went to celebrate her birthday and had the honor of meeting you."

The mother of the prefect of Ningzhou?

"It turned out to be Madam Ding. I'm sorry that I didn't recognize you at the moment. What are you going to do?" Qi Qian didn't stand up, but just greeted him lightly.

Madam Ding did not think he was rude, and immediately replied: "It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, my son specially took me to Ningzhou Mansion for a short stay, young master, are you going back to Ningzhou too? This is..."

She looked at Qin Liuxi, the young master seemed to be somewhat familiar.

Qin Liuxi raised his eyebrows and looked at the old lady Ding in front of him.

It was her poor eyesight that did not recognize this old lady. Oh, it was also many years since they had not seen each other. Her rank was promoted, and her temperament was also improved. She was elegant and noble, not the humble little imperial edict before.

When the Qin family had not yet fallen, the Ding family knew how to behave, and would send people to send some etiquette and greetings during festivals. When Qin Liuxi was ten years old, this old lady Ding even came to her house in person. Why was that?

Yes, that year seemed to be when Qin Liuxi's grandfather was promoted to the third rank, so Madam Ding came to send warmth.

But Qin Liuxi didn't like socializing, and she didn't want to gather in groups like those ordinary boudoir girls, discussing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework, and gorgeous clothes and jewelry. She spent more time practicing, preparing medicinal materials and making elixirs, or going to Taoist temples or practicing medicine.

In this way, Qin Liuxi, a girl, stayed in the old house. Because she never took the initiative to show her face, her presence was very rare, and she was even less mentioned. If it wasn't for Mrs. Ding coming to the door, she probably wouldn't be seen, but it was only this time.

As for no one posting invitations to her before?

Yes.

But Qin Liuxi's replies were either because she was not in good health and was recuperating or because her elders were not around and it was difficult to go out. Over time, she was forgotten. The most important point is that in the circle of nobles, people like Qin Liuxi who were "exiled" away from their families to live alone were either disliked by the family or unimportant.

A girl who is not valued by her family has no future. When she gets married, she will not be married to the best family and will not be able to help.

All these can be summarized in one sentence. Qin Liuxi is a person without much value. She is so dispensable that no one will try to win her over.

Even when Mrs. Ding saw Qin Liuxi sitting on the same stage with Qi Qian, she did not recognize her. First, Qin Liuxi was dressed in men's clothes, and second, Qin Liuxi's face was too different from when she was a child.

Mrs. Ding just thought she looked familiar.

Qin Liuxi remembered that before she went out, Li Dagui said that the old lady seemed to have sent a letter to Mrs. Ding to visit her.

Now the old lady said that she would stay in Ningzhou Mansion for a short stay and reunion. Was she avoiding him? Was it intentional or unintentional?

Qin Liuxi tended to the former.

She lowered her eyes and held up the teacup to block the smile at the corner of her lips. It was really interesting.
