Chapter 337: Mingruo
Qin Mingruo listened to the mother's reply, and couldn't help but groan. She studied in the Qin family for more than two years, and in the past two years, she has mostly lived in the Qin family's mansion. It was just at the beginning, and later, after Zeng Yutong got married, he had more contact with her.
Qin Mingruo still admires the cousin-in-law of this Duchess very much. Zeng Yutong is a typical noble daughter of an elite educated family, who treats people and things, is sophisticated, takes care of the industry, grasps the situation of the imperial court, and has a very clear relationship between the families in the capital. Therefore, Qin Ming likes to listen to this cousin-in-law's opinion when he encounters something.
For example, before, when she didn't get married, her family found several good choices, but she didn't know how to choose. At that time, her husband Bian Qiming was not the most outstanding one. In fact, because her mother was the daughter of the Su family, the family also found her the most popular family at that time, that is, a favored concubine of the Song family, Princess Xiao Xi's maiden family.
The Song family was much more popular than the Bian family at that time, besides, although the concubine of the Song family was a concubine, he was the son of the former official of the Ministry of Justice, and his status was there, much stronger than Bian Qiming, a side branch of the Bian family.
Qin Mingruo and his parents are biased towards the Song family. But at that time, her sister-in-law Zeng Yutong told her, hoping that she would choose Bian Qiming. Because Zeng Yutong believes that the Bian family is not as popular as the Song family, but it is also a top family, and it is more calm. Although Bian Qiming is a son of a side branch, he is a descendant after all, and he is much stronger than the concubine of the Song family. Besides, although the third room of the Bian family has already come out of the five suits with the long room, the third room itself is also very powerful, the fragrance of books is transmitted, the eldest patriarch Bian Chengqing is already a member of the three products, and the eldest son has also been promoted. It's best to have a family that has been passed down from generation to generation.
Also, a significant feature of the Song family's three-room family is that although it is a nobleman, the family population is simple because it is already a side branch. Mrs. Bian is very charitable and has never been harsh on her eldest daughter-in-law. This is very rare, in the future, having a mother-in-law who does not grind her daughter-in-law is too important for a woman. On the contrary, Mrs. Song is arrogant and difficult to serve, notoriously picky, plus, that Song family son is a concubine, and the biological mother and aunt are favored, and the lady in charge hates this concubine mother and son even more, if she becomes the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Song family, I am afraid that she will put new hatred and old hatred on the new daughter-in-law, then life will be sad.
After listening to Zeng Yutong's analysis, Qin Mingruo decisively told his parents that he hoped to choose Bian Qiming. Qin An and his wife were still a little hesitant, but later, they specially asked Qin Mingyue, and Qin Mingyue also agreed. Qin An and his wife settled down, prepared a rich dowry for their daughter wholeheartedly, and married their daughter to the Bian family.
After marriage, Qin Mingruo really lived a good life, there were no complicated concubines at home, and her mother-in-law was very kind to her and never felt sorry for her. Her husband Bian Qiming doted on her even more. Qin Mingruo's good life is enviable. This is nothing, and then it didn't take long for a big thing to happen, Xiao Xi Daotai was sent to the fiefdom, although the Song family was not much involved, but Song Tianguan took his children back to his hometown.
The Song family suddenly withdrew from the top magnates in the capital. Qin Mingruo couldn't help but be very happy, fortunately she didn't marry into the Song family, and she admired Zeng Yutong even more in her heart.
At this moment, I heard Zeng Yutong persuade her to buy the printing and dyeing formula of a province. She couldn't help but feel moved. She called Bihong over and asked, "Bihong, you have inquired about the news in the past two days, and you know that if it is a medium-sized local province, how much will this printing and dyeing formula cost?" ”
Bihong said: "When I was in the Guogong Mansion, I had a good relationship with a little maid in Piaoxiang Courtyard, and I asked her to ask me about the big shopkeeper of Qiyang. The big shopkeeper of Qiyang said that the words of his own people must be given priority. Just don't think about the four provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, where the price must be the highest. If it is an ordinary medium-sized province, it only needs about 1560,000 to 200,000. ”
Qin Mingruo nodded and said, "This price is very favorable." If I can get it, I'll already have a big advantage. But where is the silver in my hand? ”
"And that's not the main thing. Two other points are also important. The first one is which province to choose? My mother's family and I are both from Beijing, and we have a dark eye for other provinces. The second is that I got the formula, and I don't have the right person to run it. ”
Bihong obviously thought about it for her master, she said: "Second grandmother, this slave has already thought of it, tell grandma a few ideas, grandma will refer to it." This place, the slave maid thought, can't be chosen at random, if it is not familiar with the place, even if we rely on the face of the national teacher, we are afraid that we will not be able to suppress the snake. So, the slave maid thought of several places. The first is where our Bian family's clan is located, in the northwest of Fanruo Province. There are many people from our Bian family who live there, and we are also considered to be a famous local family. It is estimated that the competition for this formula is not great, and the price is cheaper. Wouldn't it be nice if the workshop would be set up there in the future, and there would be people to help take care of it? ”
"The second place is Miss Mingzhu, the eldest lady of the Qin family's big house, didn't she marry into the Niu family? Before, she went to the Niu family with her uncle, their family is also in the south, it is the land of fish and rice, rich and prosperous, and the Niu family is a famous local family. The second grandmother has a good relationship with her in the boudoir, so I think she will help, right? ”
Qin Mingruo sneered and said, "Qin Mingzhu? Hmph, forget it. She's that person, proud and stupid, and has no eyesight at all. Our Qin family has long since changed, and it is the National Teacher who is in charge. She still didn't understand, she relied on the face of the national teacher to enter the door of the Niu family, but she didn't know that she was holding the national teacher, and she blindly relied on her uncle's favor and oppression back then, and looked down on the national teacher. Isn't that stupid? ”
"It's okay now, now that it's come to this point, it's just a matter of getting to the land of the Niu family, marrying a chicken with a chicken and marrying a dog with a dog, living well in the Niu family, and living a good life. But she kept messing with the Niu family and her husband, making the man distract from her heart, ignoring her, and her life became difficult. Now that she's too busy to take care of herself, she can still help us, forget it. ”
Bihong pursed her lips and said nothing.
Qin Mingruo thought for a moment and said, "It's your first suggestion that is good. Our Bian family is also a wealthy family in Fan Ruo Province, so if you want to come, we have no problem opening a workshop by ourselves. However, in this way, I can't hide my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. My mother-in-law has always been good to me, sister-in-law? It's a bit hard to say. ”
Although Qin Mingruo's mother's father is not as high as the official position of her sister-in-law's father, she has a rich dowry, and she is still the cousin of the national teacher. Therefore, the two of them are peaceful on the face, and they have fought several times inside.
