Dongqu said: "After we came back, we didn't come home, and we didn't know what was going on at home. It's the outside business, and the accounts are all sent to the Star Picking Building. All three of us showed it. This year, the Shen family's maritime trade business is getting better and better, and the number of ships has also increased by three. Therefore, the dividends distributed to us were more than 500,000 taels of silver. ”

"The Qi family also sent this year's dividends, this year's printed silk because of the expansion of the workshop, the output has also increased, so there are more goods sold, and the dividends are naturally more. This year, more than 400,000 taels of silver were delivered. ”

"The He family also sent the accounts, and the most popular in the whole capital this year is all kinds of silk and silk shipped by the He family. Even the palace placed a large number of orders. Although this year's output is ten times more than last year's, it is still in short supply, but it is carried with it, and ordinary Jiangnan silk is also selling well. The Hua family's business was further reduced. The He family is now a second-rate silk merchant in the south of the Yangtze River. Next year, it is possible to become one of the top silk merchants. ”

Xia Ming, who was on the side, couldn't help but interject and said, "This is not normal? The He family already has silk and makeup, and with the support of Miss and Xinglou, no one dares to exploit it, and they can't get up, so it's weird. ”

Dongqu also smiled and said, "The He family also knows this. The two brothers were grateful for the kindness of the young lady. The two divided the work. The elder brother specializes in makeup and silk, and the younger brother specializes in all kinds of Jiangnan silk and plain silk. The plain silk was specially transported to the printed silk workshop of the Qi family. Both businesses were profitable, however, separate accounts. All sent dividends. Both of them sent a sixty percent dividend, which was a little more than the fifty percent set by the young lady before. It was more than 500,000 taels of silver. ”

"There is also a lacquerware and porcelain business, which is also doing well this year, although it is only a beginning, but because of the supply with the Shen family, and a part of the supply to the palace, the wealthy nobles are vying to buy it. This year, they also sent dividends of more than 100,000 taels of silver. Both of them also said that next year's production will be higher and higher, and the price will follow, and they will make more money. ”

"Together, these families are one million eight hundred and seventy-nine thousand four hundred and thirty-two taels of silver. Here are the silver bills and accounts. ”

Qin Mingyue said: "At this time, who is impatient to look at this, let it go, and wait until I am idle." You also have the silver ticket, maybe you will use it one day. ”

Winter koji hurriedly put it away.

At this time, Chunyin said, "Mama Liao and Mama Ma are waiting outside." ”

Qin Mingyue said, "Hurry up, please come in." ”

After a while, Mama Liao and Mama Ma came in, and as soon as they came in, they had to salute. Qin Mingyue hurriedly called Dongqu to stop and said, "Two grandmothers, what are you polite to me?" During the time I was not at home, it was the two grandmothers who worked hard. I made a special elixir for the two grandmothers, ginseng Yangrong pills. Take one tablet every ten days and take it for a long time to strengthen your body. The two grandmothers are my right-hand men, and this body must be well maintained. ”

"I also brought you the best Shu brocade from Ba Province, ten horses per person. Also, I got some gems and pearls and stuff like that. It has been called the brocade building to make fashionable jewelry. Each of you will receive a pair of red gold and gem-encrusted hairpins, a pair of beaded flowers, and a pair of coral earrings. ”

Chunyin hurriedly came out of the back room. Seeing the beautiful Shu brocade and the dazzling array of jewelry, I couldn't help but postpone it again and again: "This can't be helped, slaves and lowly people, how can they use such good Shu brocade and jewelry?" ”

Qin Mingyue said: "I said that I could use it. Put it away and use it generously. There will be more in the future. Don't save it. ”

The two grandmothers had no choice but to accept it.

Qin Mingyue asked, "I'm not here for a while, how is the mansion?" ”

Mama Ma hurriedly said: "The affairs outside are all in the hands of the prince. It's well organized. Not only did he buy an industry for his family, but he also set up rules, and each person's monthly silver, vegetables, fruits and vegetables, and clothes for the four seasons were all set, and now everyone follows them. After the four families of the Internal Affairs Office came, I chose some and put them in each room first. It has to be used. ”

"Among them, the eldest lady and the old lady have the best in the room. With their persuasion, the eldest lady and the old lady are much better. ”

Qin Mingyue nodded. That's exactly what she had in mind.

Mama Liao said: "Raise Mama to teach Miss Gu and Eldest Miss, Third Lady and them, other people are fine, Miss Mingzhu has good rules on the surface, but she is still moving on the inside." ”

Qin Mingyue's eyes flashed with a cold glint: "Hmph, she's a dog and can't change eating." Ignore it, just keep an eye on her. When my sister-in-law entered the door, I quickly married her off. When she arrived at her mother-in-law's house, they naturally cleaned her up. ”

Mama Liao and Mama Ma then talked about some household chores at home.

Mama Ma said: "Things like ushering in and sending off, and the exchange of relatives are basically the eldest lady and the second lady go together." The second lady mentioned it, but there was no big mistake. Even the middle feed in the house was also handled by the second lady with a few aunts and young ladies. Madame is not good at all. ”

Regarding her mother's incompetence, Qin Mingyue was not surprised and said: "Speaking of which, my second aunt has worked hard and made a lot of achievements? ”

Mama Ma said: "At first, she didn't work hard, but she still used some heart. Later, the abolition of the prince led to the destruction of her mother's Su family. The ladies of the Su family, who did not leave the cabinet, were all sent to the Teaching Workshop Division, and there was even one who had become a famous Oiran all over the world. The daughters of the Su family who married out either died or were sent to the family temple by their husband's family to practice, and there were few left. This frightened the second lady. ”

"Since then, the second lady has to come to our house every day, and she will be busy until dinner. Rain or shine, do your best. I was afraid that it would be useless, so I followed in the footsteps of those Su family girls. ”

Qin Mingyue laughed: "Haha, it's also a good thing that the second aunt's mother's family, which has always been proud, now makes her scared like this." Thinking of the trouble that the second aunt Su gave her in her previous life, Qin Mingyue is still very satisfied with the diligent second aunt now.

Then, Mama Ma and Mama Liao reported in detail the movements of the people in the house. Some things in the house, etc.

It was almost time to say that Chunyin came to say: "The prince is already drinking tea outside and waiting." ”

Qin Mingyue said, "Okay, the two grandmothers will talk about it another day." I'll talk to my eldest brother first. ”

Mama Ma and Mama Liao hurriedly said goodbye and went back with the rewards they had received.

Qin Guosong came in.

He was very satisfied when he saw his sister's energetic appearance and said, "Mingyue, you are here, but you have created a great reputation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a sonic shock to the world." We followed the light in the capital. ”

Qin Mingyue smiled.
