Chapter 65: An Inexplicable Sense of Familiarity
Qin Mingyue, a plump and beautiful little girl, has really worked hard in such a dilapidated Guogong Mansion. Look at this, except for the palace flower she gave last time, she didn't wear any other jewelry, of course, because the little girl's family didn't like to wear jewelry, and it should be that the Qin family definitely couldn't supply her with these gold and silver jewelry. It seems that he doesn't care enough about Qin Mingyue, and another day, he should send more jewelry and satin and the like. Little girl's family, how can you not dress up?
Mrs. Yang, as a girl from a noble family, grew up in the capital, so she is naturally very clear about the changes of these powerful families in the capital. Right now, their Shen family can be said to be the number one powerful family in the capital. Because they have a national teacher in the Shen family. The power of the national teacher is really above 10,000 people under one person.
However, the position of national teacher is not hereditary. Although the title of this Duke of Mingli is a prince, it is also hereditary. In the future, after Shen Guoshi Immortal goes, the Shen family will inevitably fall. This has been verified by many previous generations of national teacher families.
The Shen family is unlikely to be spared. The only way is to train more children to study when they are in office, in the hope that they can become a scholarly family in the future, so that they can still keep their wealth and wealth. Also, you have to make friends with the next national teacher, although the next national teacher will not have a blood relationship with the Shen family, but after all, he is the apprentice of the old national teacher, and this master-apprentice relationship is still there.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the national teacher family can be a person, basically, they have a good relationship with the next national teacher, and the next national teacher will basically continue to take care of the national teacher family after the old national teacher is gone. So that the national teacher family can get through the weak period, have time to train their children to study, and if you are lucky, you can also have time to arrange the children in the family to enter the career, which can be regarded as real stability.
The situation of the Shen family is actually very good. Because Shen Guoshi has a relatively long lifespan, by the time Shen Yuxing is in his fifties, he has already become a grandfather, and his father is still alive, so he can naturally shelter him. In the past few decades, the Shen family has cultivated a lot of reading seeds, not to mention anything else, Shen Yuxing's sons are all good at reading, except for the eldest son, who is to inherit the title, and he has already asked for the title of prince. The rest of the sons have already taken the road of the imperial examination.
The second son has also achieved the official position of Wupin, and the future is good.
Then what needs to be done is to make friends with the future national teacher, ask the future national teacher to continue to escort the Shen family, and wait for the third generation of the Shen family to support the court.
Mrs. Yang knew that her father-in-law was very old, and even if he maintained it well, it was estimated that he would not be able to last for a few years. Then it won't be long before the Shen family needs the protection of the next national teacher, Qin Mingyue.
If Shen Guoshi chose a male apprentice, then Mrs. Yang would not be able to come forward by herself. However, Shen Guoshi actually chose a female apprentice, so Mrs. Yang had a lot of means to use it. Therefore, since Qin Mingyue's apprenticeship, Mrs. Yang has given gifts to Qin Mingyue every three or five times, and invited Qin Mingyue to come to Shen's house as a guest every three or five times.
However, before Qin Mingyue, he was not close to the Shen family. Thinking about it, I also know that the Shen family was a top family of powerful people before, and the Qin family of Liguo Gong was a noble who had been squeezed out of the officialdom, and the two families were too far apart, so naturally they had no friendship, so it was normal for Qin Mingyue not to be close to them.
Besides, Qin Mingyue had just become Shen Guoshi's apprentice, and she had a lot to learn, and she didn't have extra time to go to the banquet, so she couldn't get closer to the Shen family. Mrs. Yang was in a hurry.
Who knows, this time please Qin Mingyue, Qin Mingyue actually came. This made Mrs. Yang very happy. As soon as they met like this, Mrs. Yang was naturally very enthusiastic, but Qin Mingyue also changed, changed her previous estrangement, and began to get close to the Shen family, especially the appearance of being very close to her daughter, which made Mrs. Yang secretly wonder.
Mrs. Yang looked at Qin Mingyue, who was chatting with her daughter and daughter-in-law, and a strange feeling welled up in her heart, as if Qin Mingyue was a relative who often came and went to their family, not alienated at all, not alienated at all. Even, Qin Mingyue and her maids were not unfamiliar.
No, the eldest girl beside Mrs. Yang Jade refilled Qin Mingyue's cup of tea, and Qin Mingyue naturally whispered to Jade while talking to Shen Xingyi: "Thank you, Sister Jade." ”
Even in the middle of this, Qin Mingyue also went to the official room once. Although there was a maid to guide her, Qin Mingyue didn't think about it, and went directly to the back right, this is too familiar, right?
This surprised Mrs. Yang. From Qin Mingyue's entry to the present, no one has introduced to Qin Mingyue what the names of the maids around her are, how did Qin Mingyue know that this maid is called Jade? Although Qin Mingyue has been Shen Guoshi's apprentice for two or three months, and has also been to the Shen family, she is in a hurry every time and has not sat for a long time, so she should not know about the affairs of the Shen family?
Mrs. Yang was just surprised for a while, and suddenly remembered, what did her father-in-law do? That's the national teacher, the land immortal, others may not know the magic of Shen Guoshi, as a family, Mrs. Yang knows it very well.
Not to mention anything else, the Shen family's sea ships, as long as they sail according to Shen Guoshi's calculations, must be calm, even if there is some wind and rain, it doesn't matter, the Shen family's ships have never turned over. This is unique among the several families that operate sea trade in Da Zhou.
Also, in the early years, when Mrs. Yang had just married into the Shen family, at that time, her mother-in-law was still alive, and once, a Persian cat raised by her mother-in-law was lost. The entire Shen family mobilized to look everywhere, but they couldn't find it.
For the sake of this little kitten, Mrs. Shen couldn't eat. Shen Guoshi felt sorry for his old wife, so he casually asked someone to take a piece of cat hair left in the Persian cat nest, let it be put in the basin of clear water, and recited a spell, and the cat hair moved and pointed in a direction. Shen Guoshi drew another talisman, burned it and put it in the basin, and immediately a shadow appeared, it was a scene, Shen Guoshi asked his subordinates to look for it in that place, and he really found it. It turned out that the little kitten was in the back garden, just trapped in a crack in the rock. Naturally, you can't find it anywhere. If Shen Guoshi hadn't sent someone to find it in time, I was afraid that the Persian cat would have starved to death in the crack of the stone.
Although decades have passed since this incident, Mrs. Yang is still impressed. Therefore, I have been in awe of my father-in-law all my life.
Since Qin Mingyue is the heir chosen by her father-in-law, maybe she was born with an abnormality and has such a talent. That's why I can come up and know her big girl's name.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Yang suddenly remembered her purpose of inviting Qin Mingyue to come this time, and she couldn't help but look forward to it a little more.
