While thinking in her heart, how to improve the poor life and what to do, Qin Mingyue followed the maids to the main hall.

Before, Qiu Ge had already told her that yesterday, the big maid in Madame's courtyard came over to spread the word that she should go to the main hall before going to the Star Picking Tower today, and Grandpa Guo and Madame had something to say to her.

So, she now appears in the main hall of the Guogong Mansion. This main hall may be the most well-preserved place in the dilapidated Guogong Mansion, although it is dilapidated, but those precious furniture and couplets and the like, are still well preserved, that is, those porcelain, antiques, and furnishings are worthless fakes, and the real ones have long been defeated by grandfather and father.

Qin Mingyue has long been accustomed to seeing her parents enjoy honor for more than ten years, but now when she sees her parents at first glance, she is really not used to it.

There was a place on the top of my father's robe that was hooked. He is still dressed well, if in his previous life, as the father of the national teacher, he would definitely not wear it when he was the powerful prince of the court.

Also, Mother, that is a figure that the Queen Mother must respect for three points, and she has always appeared in gorgeous clothes, and where is it like now, wearing a homely old satin made of old satin, with only a round bun on her head, and a gilded hairpin.

While saluting her parents, Qin Mingyue thought in her heart, it turned out that in her previous life, was her family so embarrassed? Why don't you remember? In my impression, I have been a national teacher for so many years, and it seems that I have always been fighting against the faint king, and I can't take care of anything else.

As for the life of the brocade clothes and food, I have to say that it is all due to the already rich Jinyang Marquis Mansion. Originally, it was the richest Jinyang Houfu in this dynasty, but because of herself, the lady of the Houfu who was a national teacher and held great power, she was naturally even richer, so Qin Mingyue had never worried about money, and she had never considered making money.

As for how his mother's family got rid of poverty, well, it seems that after he married Hua Yixuan, the Marquis of Jinyang continued to give his mother's Liguo Mansion all kinds of granges, shops, gold and silver, and antique utensils, and then helped the Liguo Mansion get rid of poverty. Later, after he became a national teacher, he gave his father, elder brother, and younger brothers some power, and naturally the Liguo Mansion became more prosperous.

Therefore, in the matter of making money, in her previous life, Qin Mingyue really didn't seem to be engaged in it. Hey, that's really sad.

Qin Mingyue was thinking about her own thoughts in her heart.

Liguo Gong had already spoken: "Mingyue, Daddy knows that you are in a hurry to go to the Star Picking Tower to study with the National Teacher. You're out of the way, and our entire Liguo Mansion is gone. However, I called you here because I wanted to tell you, can you tell the National Teacher about it, and give me a position? ”

Qin Mingyue raised her head suddenly, father, what's going on? It seems that he has only been apprenticed for two days, and at this time, isn't it the time to support his daughter's study? Why is it that at this time, you are asking for an official position?

Qin Ping, the Duke of Liguo, was a little embarrassed by his daughter, and how could his daughter, who had always been delicate, suddenly burst out with that strong momentum. What made Qin Ping nervous almost couldn't be said?

Qin Ping hurriedly calmed down and said, "Mingyue, my father also knows that at this time, it is not good to have an official position. But, you see, isn't there no way to open the pot in our house? Although we are a hereditary residence that has been in place since the founding of the country. However, we have not had an official position for three generations, and after such a long time, there is only an empty shell left. Now only the courtyard of this middle road is still preserved in our mansion. The rest has already been sold. ”

"The family's property, except for the sacrificial fields, has also been sold out, and even all the valuable items in the mansion are gone. Rao is like this, there are still a bunch of debts outside that have not been paid off, if you didn't suddenly become the apprentice of the national teacher, I am afraid that the courtyard on the middle road where we live now will also give the debts and leave. ”

"Mingyue, you are also a member of the Guogong Mansion, and you have to make a little effort, don't you? We always have to live. You'd better talk to the national teacher. If we can't get by, you, as the apprentice of the national teacher, will also lose face, right? ”

Qin Ping's words made the anger in Qin Mingyue's heart suddenly come out. How did the Liguo Mansion become so poor? Isn't it because the Liguo Mansion has not been productive for generations? Isn't it the father and grandfather, not only do they not want to forge ahead, but they squander it and lose it completely? Look at my father's bunch of concubines, and look at the bunch of concubines and concubines left behind by my grandfather even though he is gone?

Qin Mingyue looked at her father Qin Ping with a cold face and said, "I won't speak." Now I'm in front of my master, and I don't have such a big face. ”

Qin Mingyue's voice had not yet landed, and the Duchess of Liguo on the side, Qin Mingyue's biological mother, Madame Yin, was already unwilling: "Mingyue, what do you mean by this?" Do you dare to disobey your father's will? What about your filial piety? Aren't you a part of our Liguo Mansion? Could it be that you will leave such a situation in the house alone? ”

Qin Mingyue held back the anger in her heart, tried her best to control the volume and said, "Mother, I didn't mean to care. I'll think about it. However, I'm going to go to the Star Picking Tower to study now, and it's not good to miss the hour. When I come back in the evening, I will manage the affairs of the house with my mother. ”

Qin Ping, who was on the side, listened and said, "Yes, yes, Mingyue, your study is the first important, hurry up." Send someone to serve you. ”

Mrs. Yin looked dissatisfied, and muttered in a low voice: "There is no money on the account, you can manage the housework?" ”

Qin Mingyue held back her anger, saluted, and walked out. As soon as I went out, I saw two beautiful and graceful figures turning around, one was her sister-in-law Qin Mingzhu, and the other was her sister-in-law Qin Minghuan.

The two sisters wore cheap but very novel clothes, and although they did not have precious hairpin rings on their heads, they carried freshly picked flowers with dewdrops, and they were also very beautiful against the backdrop of invincible youth.

However, what they say is not pretty.

As soon as Qin Mingzhu saw Qin Mingyue, he said with a cold face: "What's the matter, it's great to become the apprentice of the national teacher?" When you see your sister, you can't even give a courtesy? ”

In their previous lives, Qin Mingzhu and Qin Minghuan did not make trouble for Qin Mingyue, they relied on her power to rampage outside, turned around, and went to seduce Qin Mingzhu's husband Hua Yixuan, just to catch Qin Mingzhu, and the angry Qin Mingzhu instructed the mansion not to allow these two sisters to come to the door.

At this moment, seeing these two enemies from the previous life, where would Qin Mingyue salute them. She snorted, turned and walked out.

Qin Mingzhu and Qin Minghuan were angry. Qin Minghuan is okay, after all, she is her sister, Qin Mingzhu has always been favored in front of Liguo Gong, and she was busy crying to Qin Ping, Liguo Gong: "Daddy, look at my sister, how can I still have my sister in this eye?" ”
