Chapter XXIII

Qin Mingyue couldn't help but glance up at her mother. My mother has been confused all her life, why did she understand things now?

But think about it, in the past ten years, my mother has always been in a high position, and as one of the highest-ranking daughters of the noble family in the capital, what she sees and hears is extraordinary. Although she didn't understand it very well at first, she had a few grandmothers from the four families of the Internal Affairs Mansion who Qin Mingyue had already put in place for a long time, and they often mentioned Mrs. Yin, and after more than ten years, they have learned everything.

Actually, Mrs. Yin is still very smart, after all, she was born in a scholarly family and is literate. It's just that she has a cowardly temperament, and she has been influenced by the fourth book of women since she was a child, obeying her father at home, obeying her husband when she marries, and obeying her son when she is old. After she married into the Qin family. The Qin family has already begun to fall, not only scraping together, but also running into a scumbag husband who spoils his concubine and destroys his wife. But her mother-in-law is still an extremely eccentric, all her heart is on the second room, she has never been waiting to see her, nor teaching her, and always guiding her in a bad direction, making her more and more stupid and cowardly, because she is getting poorer, she has to take care of the two sons and one daughter she gave birth to, so her vision is getting narrower and narrower, her eyelids are getting shallower and shallower, and she wants to pull everything into her hands. I often have to go to my mother's house to fight the autumn breeze.

Not anymore. After Qin Mingyue became a national teacher, she had more and more industries on hand, and more and more silver, she not only bought an industry for the Qin family, leaving a silver business, but also bought some properties and sent them to her mother, and allocated 100,000 taels of silver to her mother every year for her mother. Other kinds of silk and satin, treasure jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc., are constantly sent to my mother like flowing water. In addition to Qin Mingyue's gifts, there are often rewards in the palace, such as the Shen family, the Zeng family and other in-laws continue to give gifts to Mrs. Yin, which makes Mrs. Yin very rich.

If you have money in your hands, you have a wide range of knowledge, you can stand in a high position, and you will naturally have people around you to guide you. In the past ten years, he has really an extraordinary bearing and a lot of knowledge.

Qin Mingyue said: "What my mother said is that people often say that one generation of good daughters-in-law and three generations of good sons. Marrying in a good daughter-in-law, the family can prosper for three generations. For example, my sister-in-law. is a capable and virtuous person, and the noble families in the capital can be counted. Look at how well she keeps the house in order and prosperous, even my eldest brother can concentrate on his career and don't have to take care of the family. I am away all year round, and I am also grateful to her for taking care of my mother. The few children she gave birth to were also good. There are successors in our Qin family, thanks to the sister-in-law. ”

Mrs. Yin said, "Your sister-in-law is indeed a good one. I just think that your sister-in-law is good, so I thought, I must find a good one for Shengliang to come back, so that our Qin family can continue to prosper. This point, the old lady of the Shen family, often tells me. ”

Qin Mingyue nodded and said, "I will take this matter to heart, please rest assured mother." ”

Lady Yin was satisfied. I remembered that the youngest son said, "Your fourth brother, I heard, you plan to let him out?" ”

Qin Mingyue said: "The eldest brother inherited the title of our family. The fourth brother's future can only depend on himself. Fortunately, he was very talented in reading, and he was admitted to the Jinshi at a young age and went to the Hanlin Academy. The past few years can be regarded as experienced. If you want to make a big difference in the future, you still have to release it. In the future, if you become a feudal official and return to the imperial court, you will have the qualifications to enter the cabinet. At this point, can my mother still understand that she is from a scholarly family? ”

Lady Yin nodded and said, "This is indeed true. Anyone who can enter the cabinet must have passed the Jinshi in a serious manner, entered the Hanlin Academy, and also released those who have been feudal officials. This is the right way to come from. This is not to mention our Great Zhou, even in all dynasties. Your fourth brother is also a good one. His daughter-in-law is even better. Yu was born in a scholarly family, read and write, and was originally a talented girl, and she looked no less than your sister-in-law. However, I was worried that it would be difficult for her to have a child because of the weakness of a Jiangnan woman. You have a rule that you are not allowed to take concubines. What if it is difficult for the heirs in the future? Who would have thought that her stomach was full of energy, she had already given birth to a son, and now, she was pregnant again. This child, the pregnancy is also very good, whether it is a son or daughter, I am happy. For my two daughters-in-law, I am satisfied, and I can't be more satisfied. ”

"I've always been worried about you, although you are a national teacher, but in the ten years since you got married, you have no children, can I not worry? Even if the emperor doesn't say it, the queen doesn't say it, the prince is also loyal to you, and if you don't have children, you will inevitably be lonely in the future. Now that you have Fu'er, you will be happy in the future, and you will have another son, and this day will get better and better. Hey, speaking of which, I'm really blessed. ”

Qin Mingyue said with a smile: "Mother, you don't have a future blessing, who has a future blessing, you are the most blessed old feudal monarch in the world." ”

Mother and daughter laughed.

After talking to her mother, Qin Mingyue came out and went to her grandmother's yard. Although Mrs. An is in good health, she is old, her ears are back, and her brain is a little confused. Qin Mingyue sat down a little and came out.

Coming out of her grandmother's yard and thinking for a while, Qin Mingyue went to her father's yard. Father Qin Ping was bored, and the concubines on Zhuangzi were not brought, so he could only chat with a few Qing guests. Qin Mingyue went, he was naturally happy. However, Qin Mingyue didn't have much in common with him, so she sat down for a while and left.

After a hard day, when it was time for dinner, Qin Mingyue had dinner with the family. Xiao Rui also rushed over and accompanied him to dinner, and after the meal, he took his wife and children back to his mansion.

In the evening, the husband and wife watched Mama Liao settle down with Anfu, and the two had the opportunity to chat together.

Qin Mingyue said: "You don't see it today, my father is a lot older. I asked my eldest brother and the imperial doctor who had been asking my father for his pulse, and they all said that my father was already at the end of his crossbow, and it was estimated that it would be two years ago. ”

Xiao Rui sighed and said: "Mingyue, don't be sad, birth, old age, sickness and death, even if you are a national teacher, there is no way." Unless we start to practice and become a monk, our lifespan will increase, but even if we become a monk and increase our lifespan, we will eventually run out of one day, unless we become immortals. However, what about after becoming an immortal? Is it really the same life in heaven and earth? Didn't you tell me that Daozang said that even immortals have three calamities and five tribulations. Even without these calamities, would heaven and earth be eternal? There is still an end to the day. Since we all have this day, there is nothing to be sad about. ”

Qin Mingyue laughed at what he said: "You are practicing smoothly now, I just said a word, and you said a lot?" ”

Xiao Rui laughed.
