Chapter 115: Arranging Brothers

Such a dowry is decent enough. Not to mention it for concubines, even the concubines of ordinary large families, it's nothing more than that. Wherever she spoke, she couldn't say that Qin Guosong was not good to her.

However, such a dowry is far worse than Qin Shi Niang and Qin Shi Niang's.

The two of them are also concubines. However, because they are the younger sisters of Guogong, they are of a higher seniority, so when Qin Guosong purchased the office, although it was also two shops, he chose two shops in Xicheng, which was second only to East and West Streets. The Zhuangzi who accompanied the marriage is also near the capital, only half a day's journey from the capital of the 500 acres of Zhuangzi, the Zhuangzi is mostly good land, and it is also close to the river, which is convenient for irrigation.

It is much stronger than Qin Mingzhu Zhili's Zhuangzi, where the medium fields occupy the majority.

The rest of the silks, clothes, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, furniture, etc., are the same.

Qin Mingyue can imagine that in the days to come, Qin Mingzhu will complain countless times that her dowry is not affordable. Qin Mingyue knew, obviously, the black-bellied brother had not forgotten that Aunt Shui and Qin Mingzhu, Qin Minghuan had bullied them before.

Qin Mingyue looked at the preparations for Qin Guotan's wedding again. said: "For the marriage of the second brother, the dowry of about 10,000 taels of silver prepared for the marriage, a grange of Zhili, a grange of Jin Province, and two shops in the south of the capital, five shops in the provincial capital of Jin Province, and a four-entry house in the south of the capital, and a five-entry house in the provincial capital of Jin Province, can be regarded as okay." That's a lot of money, isn't it? ”

Coming to Qin Guotan in advance, Qin Guosong's face turned cold and said, "A total of nearly sixty thousand taels of silver was spent. The 100,000 taels of silver sent by the Jiang family, and there are still 40,000 taels left, which have been put into storage. ”

Qin Mingyue nodded and said, "After all, it's my father's blood and bones, and we won't deduct him too much." With these industries, in the future, the Jiang family will not dare to treat him badly, and if it is not good for him, he will also have a way out. However, he is a person who is in the end, and the money will be spent when it comes to him. These properties will be handed over to the younger brother and daughter-in-law together when the younger brother and daughter-in-law enter the door in the future. ”

Qin Guosong said: "Sister, you are soft-hearted. After so many years, have you forgotten how your aunt treated us? Qin Guotan bullied you, have you forgotten? Now Qin Guotan is still stained with your light. As long as you are a national teacher for one day, even if he is sent to Jin Province by us to marry the Jiang family. He is also the elder brother of the national teacher, so no one dares to underestimate him. The Jiang family can only hold him and let him eat and drink well, where can he dare to treat him badly? Where does he need a way out? ”

Qin Mingyue shook her head slightly and said, "Originally, I hated Aunt Lian and my second brother, but when I went out and saw too many things, which one was not like this?" The royal struggle is stronger than ours. I saw it. Anyway, it's up to us to win now. Even my aunt is dead, and even her bones have melted. What else to care about. However, we are worthy of the second brother. Of the 100,000 taels of silver that the Jiang family gave us for marriage, we used 60,000 taels for the second brother, and at the bottom, we had to protect the Jiang family for decades. The second brother will definitely be held in the palm of the Jiang family. In Jin Province, he lived a prosperous life, and his father was also satisfied when he thought about it. ”

Qin Guosong said: "My father is very satisfied. The second brother will have an inheritance of 60,000 taels of silver in the future, and in the future, the dowry of about 120,000 taels of silver brought by Jiang Sango, the eldest lady of the Jiang family, is enough for the second brother to live a very rich life. Although he is far away in Jin Province, he is richer than us, and his father even envies his second brother. ”

Qin Mingyue couldn't help crying and laughing, her father was also a wonder, the second brother was sent out by the two of them to marry the merchant, and he didn't even give back the capital, and his father was still envious?

Not wanting to continue this topic, Qin Mingyue asked, "How are the third and fourth brothers?" The third brother is already thirteen years old this year, right? The fourth brother is also nine years old. How are they academically? ”

Speaking of these two younger brothers, Qin Guosong's face looked better and said, "They study very hard. The fourth brother is more talented in reading, and he is only nine years old, and he has already read through the Four Books and Five Classics. The gentleman praised again and again. However, it is still necessary to accumulate for a few more years. Mr. said that when the fourth brother reaches the age of twelve, he can go to prepare for the exam. ”

For this brother-in-law, Qin Mingyue was also full of affection and said: "This is good, in two days, I will give him a few more gifts to reward him." Mr. is also good at teaching, the fourth brother is so talented, before, our mansion did not invite a good gentleman for the fourth brother, but delayed the fourth brother, so it was not too late. What about the third brother? ”

Qin Guosong said: "The third brother was delayed. He has passed the best age to study, but he has made great progress, and Mr. said that in a few years, he should be able to take the show exam. However, my husband told me privately that although the third brother worked hard, his talent was average, and he started late, and he could only lift people at the highest. It's basically impossible to expect a jinshi. But the fourth brother, he is very talented, and if he continues to study like this, before the age of twenty, it is possible to become a jinshi. ”

Qin Mingyue said with a happy face: "Although our family doesn't pay attention to any jinshi, it lifts people. With my future power, the emperor will be rewarded no matter what. However, with the identity of Jinshi and Juren, it is better after all. Fourth brother, let's train it well. What about the third brother? What are his aunt's plans? Aunt Rong is a smart one. ”

Qin Guosong said: "Aunt Rong is smart, she knows the situation of the third brother, and has told me and my mother many times. Not to mention lifting people, just a showman, she is satisfied. In the future, she wants to wait until her third brother grows up, so she will help with some chores in the house. The affairs of our mansion are not always good to let the second uncle come over to take care of them. Besides, even if the second uncle has been helping, in the future, with more affairs in the house, she will not be busy, she doesn't want the third brother to go out, just let the third brother stay at home. ”

Not only did she say that, but she also did it. Today, Aunt Rong serves her mother very respectfully and thoughtfully. The third brother also often helps me deal with household chores in his spare time, and he can do a good job of sending gifts to relatives and relatives. I also often communicate with these children in the capital, poetry meetings, drinking parties and the like. Although there are socials, they are still modest, and they all interact with the children of serious officials, and they do not hand over the gentlemen. I'm still very satisfied. ”

Qin Mingyue nodded and said, "If they decide like this, and the eldest brother looks good again, then so be it." Tell Aunt Rong and the third brother that as long as they are loyal and reliable, we will not treat them badly, after all, they are our own brothers. In the future, the court will give them a glorious one. ”

Qin Guosong's face was happy.
