As soon as this feeling came out, Qin Mingyue herself was shocked into a cold sweat. When did Xiao Rui become so important to him? When did Xiao Rui officially step into her life. That's not a good thing. Didn't he make up his mind, in this life, he had to deal with Xiao Rui far away, and he was as painful as he was in his previous life?

Qin Mingyue shook her head and threw out these bad emotions. I flipped through the ledger at hand. Although no palace banquet was held in the palace this year because of a state funeral, the rewards that should be given to the ministers and nobles were not less at all. Qin Mingyue is especially rich, the emperor has given a lot of rewards, and the queen and the prince have their own rewards.

Not to mention this, even King Jin also gave a very generous New Year's gift. Qin Mingyue looked at it and smiled coldly. Then I turned to a page, which was a New Year's gift from the Qin Palace.

These New Year's gifts are different, there is no such thing as silk and satin, but some tea leaves, some fresh fruits from hot springs and villas, blessing oranges sent from the south, plum blossoms raised in the greenhouse, narcissus, and even two pots of peonies that are about to bloom. It's a strange gift.

Qin Mingyue laughed, this King of Qin, like in his previous life, has the most peculiar thoughts and prefers these peculiar things.

Seeing this, she instructed Dongqu beside her, "Divide these flowers." Two pots of peonies were sent to the grandmother's room. Grandmother liked these bright and rich things the most. These two pots of daffodils and two pots of plum blossoms were sent to my mother's room. In addition, the eldest brother also sent two pots. It would be nice to leave two pots of daffodils and plum blossoms in our room. ”

Dongqu hurriedly came down, and personally took the maid to send the flowers over.

After Dongqu left, Mrs. An and the maid Cuihuan, who had served her for many years, said: "Look at how beautiful the flowers are, it is estimated that they will bloom in a day or two if they are left in a warm room." Just in time for the girls to return to the door. ”

Cuihuan has served Mrs. An for many years, and she understands Mrs. An's heart the most, saying: "In the first month, there are many younger generations who pay New Year's greetings to Mrs. An. It is the third master, the fourth master, etc., who do not come and go much on weekdays, as well as the eldest lady, the second lady, the ninth lady, etc., all come to the old lady to pay New Year's greetings. This year, we have a different scene in our house. ”

"When they came to our house, they didn't widen their eyes when they saw the old lady's house of porcelain, jade, ornaments, screens, huanghuali furniture, printed silk curtains, and these rare peony flowers?"

Mrs. An smiled happily when she heard this, and she looked at her room proudly. The furniture here has been replaced by the new grandson. Although the furniture is somewhat new, it is the most up-to-date style, and the materials used are all exquisite huanghuali, which is beautiful and atmospheric. There are also door curtains, chair covers, curtains, etc., all made of printed silk from the granddaughter's workshop, which is beautiful and eye-catching.

There are also jade, porcelain, cover screens and the like used for decoration, all of which are very exquisite, and even a few of them are imperial gifts, which are extremely noble. When she was young, she had only seen such furnishings in her mother-in-law's room. Back then, the Liguo Mansion was also so rich and compelling, but later, the family road became more and more middle, and the valuable things in the family were sold day by day, and in the end, they ended up clean.

Before, the furnishings in her room were not even comparable to the old ladies in the houses of ordinary wealthy families in Beijing.

Therefore, the concubines and concubines in the family did not have a good face for her New Year's greetings. Of course, in addition to her poverty and the fact that her two sons are not angry, new and old grudges over the years are also one of the reasons.

However, now, all the grudges have dissipated because of the resurgence of the Liguo Mansion. Those concubines and concubines, because they wanted to take refuge in the Liguo Mansion, to be precise, wanted to touch the light of her granddaughter Qin Mingyue, and began to walk with her again. At this time, I remembered that she was their mother-in-law. Come and visit during the holidays.

Mrs. An has been suppressed by the biological mothers of these concubines and concubines all her life, and she has lived a difficult life, although later after the death of the old prince, she killed those opponents and aunts, sold them, and drove the concubines out of the house. However, this heart still did not slow down.

Now, seeing that because the house is strong, those concubines and concubines have come back to flatter her. The resentment in her heart can be regarded as dissipating and turning into a kind of self-satisfaction.

Mrs. An said, "Well, what's so good about them coming to visit me?" A small gift is not enough to stuff your teeth. But asking me to give red envelopes to their children and reward things, it's really a loss. ”

Although she said this, her face was full of self-satisfaction.

Cuihuan smiled and said, "Old lady, there is nothing short of that in our house now. It is the reward money and red envelopes given to them by the old lady, and it is also the delicate silver nude and gold nude that the craftsmen of the Jinlou called by the filial second lady in advance, and the old lady is giving it out, and it is also more face-saving. ”

Mrs. An became more and more proud: "The things that come out of the Jinlou are naturally good. It's also Mingyue who has a heart. Even these things are properly prepared. ”

Now that life is so comfortable, and there are more people who go out to socialize, they respect her as an old feudal lord everywhere they go. Can she be uncomfortable?

When Cuihuan saw this, her eyes rolled and she said, "Old lady, before, you were still talking about marrying the second lady and marrying into the Hou Hua family in Jinyang." If at that time, the second lady is really married to that side, and she will marry out soon. Such a splashing wealth, such a busy display of officials from all walks of life, and the flattery of various big families, it is estimated that it will go to the Jinyang Marquis Mansion. ”

Hearing Cuihuan's words, Mrs. An's face turned cold: "Hmph, what else do you say, they are all the good nieces I trust." Trick me with rhetoric. Taking advantage of the time when our Qin family was in trouble, I wanted to use 100,000 taels of silver to give my top granddaughter. Hmph, fortunately I didn't listen to her, fortunately, Mingyue's master didn't like the Hua family. Otherwise, where would we still have such a rich life? ”

"Calculate how much money our family has spent on redeeming the house, decorating the house, buying furniture, and rearranging it. Cui Huan, don't say you haven't seen such a cost of silver. Even when I was young, I followed my mother-in-law, and at that time, when the Qin family had not yet fallen, I had never seen such a formation. ”

"How many hundred thousand taels of silver does this cost? Is this what the stingy family of the Hua family can give? Hmph, my granddaughter is the first future female national teacher of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she is now an official of Sipin. Who would dare to underestimate it? ”

Cuihuan couldn't help but smile when she looked at An's smug look.
