Chapter 104: Peace of Mind
Qin Mingyue knew that the two grandmothers took care of the Qin family so well, and she was very pleased. Then he asked, "Is there anything else going on besides that?" ”
Dong Qu hurriedly said: "There is another thing, that is, in the past few days, the shopkeeper of Qi has come over. ”
Qin Mingyue couldn't help but say: "Oh? "Qi Yang actually came to find it. It's not a big deal, basically Qi Yang won't come to find it. In fact, every month, Qi Yang will bring the account book to the Liguo Mansion to find Chunyin, and Chunyin will check the account book and collect the dividends every month. According to Chunyin, in the past few months, the dividends of the weaving and dyeing workshop have accumulated to almost 1,000 taels of silver.
This is only the initial stage, and seeing that sales are getting stronger and stronger, I am afraid that the profits will be bigger and bigger in the future.
Qin Mingyue said: "You talk to the shopkeeper of Qi and let him come over tomorrow." ”
Winter koji should come down in a hurry.
Qin Mingyue asked again: "Is there anything else?" ”
Dongqu hurriedly said: "I'm in charge of nothing. However, it is some of the things that Harunyin is responsible for. One is that there are a lot of posts handed to you by each family, some are invited to enjoy the flowers, and some are invited to banquets. There were gatherings of the relatives and banquets of the officials. I still have to ask the lady about this. ”
Qin Mingyue said: "Push me the general." I didn't like to participate in these in the first place. However, these posts are important, and I still have to tell them. Also, if there are things in our family, others come to give gifts, they are all recorded, and when these people have happy events, birthdays, banquets, funerals, promotions and other things that are reasonable, they should also remember to go with a gift. ”
Dongqu said: "This morning, Mama Ma taught me to deal with Qiu Ge. Now, we're all learning to do it. Sometimes, it can't be done well, it's all Mama Ma's guidance. ”
Qin Mingyue nodded.
Dongqu said: "In addition to these things, there is another important thing, that is, the queen mother sent someone to send a batch of rewards a few days ago. He said that he encouraged you to serve the imperial court. At that time, it was handled by the National Teacher. Even the queen, the queen mother, and the emperor's three thanksgiving excerpts were all cooked by the national teacher who called our officials from the Star Picking Tower. As for the gifts given by the queen's mother, there was also a national teacher who called for it to be sent over. ”
With that, Dongqu turned around and went out and brought something in. One is the queen's decree. Qin Mingyue probably saw it, but she praised a lot, and finally said that Qin Mingyue was a model of a boudoir woman in the world and deserved to be commended.
Qin Mingyue saw it, but said with a faint smile: "With such a decree, the queen mother is very decent." is worthy of being the queen who has been in charge of the harem for many years. ”
Dongqu said: "This one is the reward of the queen's mother. It is divided into two batches, and one batch is placed in the Yizhi on the surface. One was privately rewarded by the queen's mother. ”
Qin Mingyue also took it and looked at it. The reward in the edict is similar to the emperor's reward, except that there is no imperial village, and the rest of the silk, palace flowers, imperial wine, etc., are just reduced by three percent. However, some other aspects have been added, such as the double-sided embroidered seat screen to two. It's a good fit.
Another private reward is interesting. The queen mother gave the deed of the two shops on West Street, and then some silk and the like. In addition, two sets of precious heads were given, one of which was red gold and set with rubies. One set is the best mutton fat jade. Both sets of heads and faces are each set of twelve pieces of jewelry. Not only complete, but also exquisitely made, the materials are also very precious, the ruby set, the rubies on the top are the size of a finger, bright red as blood. The set of mutton fat jade is even more warm and smooth, and it makes people like it at first glance.
Qin Mingyue looked at this gift list, but she groaned for a while. The meaning of this queen's mother's attraction is clear. If it was ordinary, Qin Mingyue would have accepted it with peace of mind. However, Qin Mingyue had experienced the events of her previous life. She naturally knew that it wouldn't be long before Empress Yang was afraid that she would fall. It was her son who was involved.
Accept the generous gifts of others, in the future, if you don't do anything when others fall, Qin Mingyue can't do it. However, if she helps Queen Yang in the future, Qin Mingyue is unwilling, in her previous life, Qin Mingyue has not forgotten the evil things that the Yang family and the prince did.
Even though the prince and the Yang family have not done those rebellious things now, looking at the prince's perverse temperament, the arrogance of the Yang family, greed for money and power, it is disgusting enough.
Qin Mingyue doesn't like such a person in her heart. Certainly not on their side.
But what about such a gift? It doesn't matter if Queen Yang puts the gift in Yizhi, but it doesn't matter if the queen's reward is accepted. But what about the private one?
Although the gift given by Empress Yang is worth a lot of money, not to mention anything else, the two shops on West Street alone are worth 20,000 taels of silver. It's still the kind that has money and nowhere to buy. Those two sets of head noodles are worth about five thousand taels. In addition to other rewards, there are all kinds of things, I am afraid that there are 30,000 taels of silver.
Although Qin Mingyue was now in an embarrassing period, these things did not touch Qin Mingyue's heart. In Qin Mingyue's eyes, she still didn't take these silver things seriously in her bones.
What makes Qin Mingyue embarrassed is that if Qin Mingyue accepts the emperor's gift, the queen mother's gift, and returns the queen's gift alone, I am afraid that the queen, the prince, and the Yang family will have bad intentions towards Qin Mingyue. Although Qin Mingyue was not afraid of them. However, if they deal with the Qin family, the Qin family, which is weak now, will not be able to withstand it.
Qin Mingyue thought for a while and said, "Ask us to pick up the documents of the Star Tower, help me write another excerpt of thanks, and thank the queen mother for these things privately." Let these things pass through the eyes of the emperor, cross the bright road, and then put these things, head and face, into my treasury, and the silk and Zhuangzi are placed in the treasury of our Qin family prince. Our Qin family has no property now, no income, some time ago, Mama Ma also told me about this matter, and I want to buy some properties after I have enough money. ”
"Our house always relies on me to pay for money, and it's not a long way. Now that there are these two stores, I can have some income and settle the hearts of the Qin family. ”
Dong Qu hurriedly said: "These two shops are not ordinary shops. These two shops are in such a good location, and there is nowhere to buy them if you have money. If you don't do business, just collecting rent every year, I'm afraid that you will have an income of thousands of taels of silver a year. How much money does our house spend a year now? With this income, I am afraid that everyone up and down will be happy. ”
