After Qin Minghuan left, Qin Mingyue rested for a while, and then went directly to her mother, Mrs. Yin's courtyard. Mrs. Yin pulled Qin Mingyue and talked about her daily routine for a while. After talking about family life, let's talk about the Yin family.

Mrs. Yin said: "In the past few years, the Yin family has been getting better and better. Although your eldest brother takes care of the Yin family every day, your uncles and aunts know that this is not relying on your face. In the past few years, the cousins of your Yin family have become more and more experienced. Those who have meritorious fame have been released, and those who have no fame and no hope for the imperial examination have also been arranged to Zhuxia Island and Fenglan Island. Now they are all considered to have stepped into the official career, and the Yin family, a scholarly family, has continued to go up. ”

"The only one who didn't have a good time was your cousin Dyeqiu."

Qin Mingyue's face didn't move: "Oh? Cousin Dye Qiu is a guilty family, and it is impossible for the Hua family to recover. Therefore, don't think about this power or something, and the career is not something that the Chinese family can step into. In addition to career and power, the Hua family also has thousands of family wealth, and there should be no problem in living. ”

Lady Yin sighed and said, "Where can it be so good? ”

"In the past few years, the Hua family has been getting worse and worse since Mrs. An died. After Hua Yixuan's filial piety was finished, he became romantic, and the concubines pulled home one by one, and they were pretentious and elegant, and all the famous prostitutes in the capital were his confidants, and the silver spent in the Qinglou was like a silver sea. Not to mention, his family urged him to go to Jiangnan to see the business, but when he arrived in Jiangnan, the business did not make a deal, but he became familiar with all the famous prostitutes in Jiangnan. He also presided over the revision of a list of famous flowers. What a shame. ”

Qin Mingyue sneered, how normal is it for Hua Yixuan to do such a thing?

Mrs. Yin continued: "Your cousin is dyed in autumn, this day is hard. At the beginning, when their husband and wife kept filial piety, although Hua Yixuan was a woman, he still had a little face, and he didn't dare to let those sluts have children. But after the filial piety period, there was no suppression, and the child gave birth to more and more. Your cousin is not far behind, she has only been married for a few years? He already has four sons and three daughters. This is still filial piety in the middle, otherwise, I don't know how many will be born? ”

Qin Mingyue was stunned for a moment: "How can there be so many?" ”

Mrs. Yin said: "Because she gave birth one after another, and gave birth to twins, can there be not many children?" ”

Qin Mingyue was speechless for a moment.

Lady Yin said, "Just what your cousin gave birth to is enough. One more person, but one more mouth, those concubines are also scrambling for life. Now Hua Yixuan has a concubine, and the children have thirteen sons and sixteen daughters. This aspect is really one of the few in the capital. ”

"By the way, speaking of which, people all over the capital say that you, the national teacher, are really a god. At the beginning, when Hua Yixuan and Dye Qiu were married, you gave them a meeting, saying that they would have more children when they got married. Sure enough, it's really a lot of sons, not an ordinary number of sons. ”

Qin Mingyue thought of when she got married at that time, and calculated that Hua Yixuan and his wife, who had many children but no more blessings, were destined to starve to death.

Sure enough, Mrs. Yin began to say: "If the Hua family doesn't commit any crimes, still keeps the title, and the business is booming, let alone thirteen sons, even thirty-three sons, they can also raise them." However, now, the Hua family is in the hands of Hua Yixuan, spending money like water, but the income is getting less and less, and the business is getting worse and worse. Now there are so many children, and the days are tight. Dye Qiu cried as soon as she came to me. However, in this world, the emergency does not help the poor. I always brought her something, or gave her twenty taels of silver, but these were not enough for Hua Yixuan to reward the red card. Where can they save their family? ”

"I heard that the Hua family has already started to sell their properties and things little by little. Large pieces of furniture and antiques are almost sold. Who in the capital doesn't know? ”

Qin Mingyue smiled coldly: "We are not a family, how can we help her?" Even if you ask me for it, I can only give my cousin some silver. However, their family has a bottomless pit, not to mention ten taels or twenty taels, even tens of thousands of taels, which is just a blink of an eye. If Hua Yixuan is a supporter and talented, I can still arrange a job for him, I can't let him serve in Da Zhou, and I can send him to a place like Pillow Xia Island. However, a person like him has no talent at all, and he is also blocking his cousin, how can I help? ”

Mrs. Yin thought about it: "Hey, it's true, if you can't stand up by yourself, even the emperor can't help." Forget it, this is your cousin's fate, that's all. At the beginning, if she wasn't a ghost, she would have to find Hua Yixuan and make something ugly? Even if he didn't marry the Hou Mansion, and later married a poor scholar, maybe now he will become a wife. Where is it like now, the title has been lost, the silver is gone, and the hardship of life is unbearable. ”

Qin Mingyue lowered her head and drank tea, but did not say a word. She actually likes it. Watching Yin Dye Qiu and Hua Yixuan slide into the abyss little by little, losing everything little by little, I am really happy.

Mrs. Yin chatted with Qin Mingyue for a while about other things, mainly about Qin Guosong's children, now, these children are all older, among them, Qin Guosong's eldest son Qin Shengliang is already twelve years old, and was made a son, and two years ago he began to learn to receive people and things with his third uncle Qin Guoliu, and he also had to study with his fourth uncle Qin Guoyang. At a young age, he has already made a name for himself in the capital. For this eldest grandson, Mrs. Yin is satisfied, and she couldn't be more satisfied.

Mrs. Yin cared about her grandson, so she couldn't help but tell her daughter about her grandson: "Mingyue, look at what a good child Shengliang is." At the beginning, I thought that your eldest brother was already very good, but I didn't expect that Katsura would be smarter and more sensible than your eldest brother when he was a child. How can such a good child not be loved? Needless to say, his future is needless to say. has his parents, and he has long been the son of the world. There are also national teachers and aunts like you, and his uncle's family can support them, so I don't have to worry about it. However, I just thought, what about him marrying a daughter-in-law. ”

Qin Mingyue was a little speechless: "Shengliang is only twelve years old, where is the time to discuss marriage?" ”

Lady Yin said, "Twelve years old is not young. Back then, the marriage between you and your eldest brother was discussed late, and that was because at that time, our Qin family declined, and you couldn't find a suitable one for a while. High is not low. But look at it, later, when we arrived at Guoyang, our Qin family had already risen, and among the nobles and daughters in the world with your eldest brother and sister-in-law, you chose a Yu family for Guoyang, which couldn't be better. It can be seen that this matter of discussing relatives must be seen as early as possible, and after a few years, it will be decided as soon as possible. After settling down, he was not in a hurry to get married early, for fear of delaying his studies. ”
