Time passed quickly, and when it was late autumn, Qin Mingyue and Xiao Rui took care of the affairs of the capital, and finally began to set off for Lu Province.

Although the weather is getting colder, it is still very comfortable to walk on the river. At least not as bumpy as riding a carriage, and not as tiring as riding a horse.

However, Qin Mingyue and Xiao Rui did not make a big splash when they traveled this time, but just brought their own people to escort them. Zeng Yukun, Qin Guoliang, Qin Kang and others who went to Ba Province to follow before had already held important positions in the imperial court in the capital, so they couldn't follow.

However, Qin Mingyue brought a few other people out. This is Qin Mingyue's second uncle's eldest son-in-law, Bian Qiming, the second son of the third room of the Bian family, and Zhou Mingsheng, the second-class steward of the Star Picking Building.

This Bian Qiming is a member of the Bian family, the maiden family of the Queen Mother. The Bian family has always been highly used by Emperor Changping in the imperial court, and is a top high-ranking family. However, the most prominent thing in the Bian family is the long house, that is, the room where the queen mother was born. As for the third room, it is already a side branch of the five suits with the long room. Although Bian Chengqing, the head of the third room, is from the two lists of Jinshi, and is also very talented, and is already the governor of Lu Province, the third grade, but there is no Cheng'en Gong Bian's family room prominent.

However, even if the third room of the Bian family is not long enough to be prominent, it is not something that a person like Qin An who has no fame and is just a rich man can climb. The reason why Qin An's eldest daughter, Qin Mingruo, was able to marry into the third room of the Bian family and become Bian Chengqing's second son's wife, isn't this because the Bian family wants to tie up with Qin Mingyue?

Qin Mingyue also agreed with this marriage. Empress Dowager Bian is very good to Qin Mingyue, and the hot spring villa that Qin Mingyue uses now is still rewarded by the Empress Dowager, and the four major families of the old Internal Affairs Mansion around her are also rewarded by the Empress Dowager.

For the Queen Mother, Qin Mingyue has always been respectful and grateful. Therefore, Qin Mingyue is also willing to take proper care of the Bian family after the Queen Mother is gone.

The Bian family can marry the Qin family, which is also something that Qin Mingyue thought of. However, although the Qin family has a lot of children, all of them have already made arrangements, and there is no suitable Bian family for men and women of appropriate age. At this time, the third room of the Bian family and Qin An's eldest daughter Qin Mingruo discussed marriage, but the Bian family and Qin Mingyue were willing to see things.

Therefore, under the impetus of Qin Mingyue and Bian's family's room, Qin Mingruo and Bian Qiming got married.

Although this is a marriage, Bian Qiming is also very satisfied. Although he was born in the Bian family, he was not born in the long house of the Bian family, which was a little worse among the noble sons in the capital, although his father was the governor of Lu Province, a feudal official. But this governor is the parent official of the herdsmen in the local area, and it is nothing in the capital. At least not the top power.

He himself is not the eldest son, he will be able to inherit the family business in the future, as the second son, he will only be able to get a part of the family property in the future, at most one-third, although the three rooms of the Bian family are rich, but they are not rich, one-third, it is really not much.

Although he himself is more motivated and has no habit of being a gentleman, he is not very good, at least he is much worse than his eldest brother in reading. The eldest brother is already in the middle of the game at his age, and he is still just a showman. Repeatedly examined people have fallen to Sun Shan. Bian Qiming knows that this is the end of his life, and it is basically impossible to study and become a career like his father and brother. He only hoped that in the future, when his father was in office, he would ask for a favor and get a little scribe to be a little clerk.

But he didn't expect that fate gave him a chance. His family actually began to discuss marriage with Qin Mingruo, the cousin of the national teacher Qin Mingyue, and, soon, the Bian family and the Qin family agreed to this marriage. Because he had a strong wife, Bian Qiming began to be valued among the children of the Bian family. Not only has his status improved in the Bian family, but also in the circle of noble sons in the capital, his status has also improved, and many sons in law of big families who looked down on him and did not associate with him in the past have also begun to include him in the circle.

The rise in status has made Bian Qiming happy, and what makes him even happier is that when it was time to get married, he found that Qin Mingruo's dowry was very rich, although it did not reach the point of ten miles of red makeup, but it was also much more than the girls of a normal official eunuch family. In the marriage, shops, houses, and granges are available, and the clothes and jewelry are also extremely good. In total, there are almost twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver for dowry. This is already a leader in the marriage of about 3,000 taels of normal eunuch ladies.

Such a rich and powerful wife can naturally win the respect of her husband. Bian Qiming has already made up his mind, even if Qin Ming is mediocre, he will treat his wife well. However, what surprised him was that Qin Mingruo was actually a very beautiful beauty. This couldn't help but make Bian Qiming feel like he was hit by a pie falling from the sky.

After marriage, Bian Qiming found that there are many advantages in a beautiful wife, for example, she knows some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, although she is not proficient or a talented woman, but she has been trained by elite noblewomen. The housekeeper director, the reception of people and things, and the rules and etiquette are very outstanding, which is even much stronger than Bian's daughter-in-law and Bian Qiming's sister-in-law. Bian Qiming's sister-in-law came from a scholarly family, but she was only literate. The world does not pay attention to women's education, and everyone is used to it, so it shows the difference of the Qin family's daughters even more.

Bian Qiming asked his wife to find out that it turned out that the Qin family had a boudoir school, which was advocated by the national teacher Qin Mingyue. The women of the Qin family, including the unmarried girls of the relatives, are all studying in it. There are not only outstanding female gentlemen who teach piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also invite a well-educated old man to teach everyone the Four Books and Five Classics. Of course, there is also a female crown to teach everyone some Taoist knowledge. In the boudoir school, in the morning, I learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, four books and five classics, Taoism and arithmetic. In the afternoon, the grandmother who came out of the palace taught everyone to knit red, cook housekeepers, rules and etiquette, and treat people.

Under this kind of teaching, although Qin Mingruo only studied for more than two years before getting married, he still cultivated Qin Mingruo.

Bian Qiming deeply admired the national teacher Qin Mingyue. It is indeed extraordinary to think of a person who gives such an elite education to the women in the family. is also deeply glad that he married the well-bred daughter of the Qin family.

Of course, Bian Qiming also found that his wife had some hidden shortcomings, such as being arrogant, squeamish, powerful, and competitive, but these flaws are not hidden, Bian Qiming can fully accept his wife's small shortcomings, and the two live in harmony naturally.
