Chapter 114: Brother's Thoughts

Qin Ping thought for a while and said, "Mingyue, what you said makes a lot of sense. Your eldest brother is sixteen years old. entered the Guozi Prison again, and when he came out, he should be asked to be crowned the prince. In the past, my father did not find anyone in the court to speak to our family, so he did not dare to rashly ask for the title of son, for fear that the holy will would be unpredictable. However, now it is different, Mingyue is about to take up a post in Zhongshu Province, and when the time comes, say good things to your eldest brother in front of the emperor, and it is estimated that this matter will be done. Well, looks like I'm going to write a recital. ”

Qin Mingyue thought to herself, father, have you ever written a song in your life? Are you good at drinking, playing with women, or writing articles?

Qin Mingyue's face really didn't show it at all: "Father, why do you have to do such a trivial matter yourself." I have a lot of documents under my subordinates, so I ordered, and they naturally wrote them and sent them to my father, and when the time came, my father would send them directly to the imperial court. Naturally, I will greet the court. Your Majesty, I will also go and say it myself. I will definitely be able to invite my brother back as soon as possible. ”

When Qin Ping heard that he didn't have to write it himself, he was immediately happy.

Returning from the upper room, Qin Mingyue looked at her gentle brother Qin Guosong who was following behind her, and couldn't help but smile: "Brother, but what's the matter?" ”

The two of them sat down, and Qin Guosong was a little embarrassed and said, "Thank you, sister." As an elder brother, I can't provide shelter for my younger brothers and sisters, but my sister thinks about me in everything. What a shame. ”

Qin Mingyue said: "Brother, don't be ashamed. I want my brother to become a son as soon as possible, and then get married as soon as possible, so that I can take over this mess of our Qin family. Although I am now in charge of the housework, this is not the norm after all. I still have to focus on state affairs and cultivation. Do you want me, the future national teacher, to take care of the housework in the Qin family? ”

In the last sentence, Qin Mingyue made a joke.

However, this is also the truth, which makes Qin Guosong face up to his sister. Yes, the situation in his family is not unusual. Generally, there is also a situation in his family, where his parents can't support it, and there is no way, so he can only support each other and support the family business. Generally, such a powerful sister is often reluctant to let go of the power of the housekeeper. However, his sister is unusual.

Her sister is the only female national teacher in the Great Zhou, and the future world will be in the court, and she will have to face the important ministers of the court and the three neighboring countries. It is to shoulder the livelihood of the people of the world. Where is it still confined to one house and one place like an ordinary woman?

Qin Guosong immediately said: "It's my brother's mistake, my brother must take over these things as soon as possible, so that my sister can have more energy to study and be in politics." Otherwise, my brother is Da Zhou, a sinner of the people of the world. ”

Qin Mingyue smiled and said, "As long as my brother works hard, I will help my brother in the early stage." Later, when the fourth brother grows up, he can also be a helper for his brother. As for our two younger brothers, if they are better, after all, they are from the same father, and they are related by blood, and it is a good thing to have an extra helper, and when the time comes, I will naturally make good arrangements for them. However, if you don't have long eyes and dare to do something with us, then don't blame me for being rude, and my brother shouldn't be restrained. ”

"In terms of name, we are concubines, they are concubines, officially, you are the son of the world, and they have no fame. In the court, and me, the two of them can't get on the stage, where can they compare with you and me? ”

Qin Guosong, who said this, was in good spirits.

Qin Mingyue said again: "It's just that it's easy to talk about things outside, but things inside." My brother also knows. Grandmother's housekeeper has ruined our Qin family's management. She has a lot of private houses, but they are all given to her second uncle's family. As for the mother, her heart is always towards the Yin family. Not to mention, my mother doesn't understand things very well, and if she wants to take care of the house, it will never be possible. ”

"So, there is a need for a good hostess inside. I pinned my hopes on my brother. I will find a capable, intelligent woman for my brother to be a good helper. It's just, I don't know what my brother's opinion is? Can you be interested in someone? Or what does my brother like? ”

Speaking of this, Qin Guosong couldn't help but blush: "Sister, this marriage was originally the order of my parents, where do I have any opinions?" It's just, my sister is in charge of my marriage, is it appropriate? As for this intended person, it is still Hugh Ti, I am a serious Confucian student, and I still understand this truth. Where is there anything to like. ”

"Father, grandfather because of his infatuation with women, our Qin family has fallen to such a point. I have seen it since I was a child, how can I follow in their footsteps? In the future, if I marry a wife, even if I don't marry well, I won't get any more concubines or anything like that. ”

Listening to her brother's words, Qin Mingyue couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, wasn't it? In her previous life, that sister-in-law was so unvirtuous, but her brother had no concubines. Such an elder brother deserves the best daughter's show. Qin Mingyue made up her mind that she must find a good one for her brother.

Qin Mingyue nodded and said, "I understand what my brother means. After I choose someone, I'll show it to my mother. Come to think of it, my parents wouldn't have rejected me. After the people settle down, I hope to get married as soon as possible, so that I can get rid of this mess as soon as possible. ”

"Brother, I didn't confess in front of my parents just now. Now I'll talk to you. The hundred thousand taels of silver have been given to you. It was the one who bought the house. We must redeem our entire Liguo Mansion, no less. This is our face. As for the question of the silver, if it is not enough, I will owe it first, and in the autumn I will have 200,000 taels of silver in my account. That's enough. ”

"The 200,000 taels of silver will not only be used to redeem the house, but also to renovate our mansion. Speaking of which, it is also very fast, so my brother can only redeem the house now, and after redeeming it, he will start to renovate the house as soon as possible. This garden, flowers and trees and so on have to be done. We must restore the dignity and prosperity of our national mansions. As for the silver, don't care. Anyway, these projects are done after they are done, and then the bill is settled. When I was done, it might be winter, and by that time, my 200,000 taels of silver should have arrived. ”

"With this money, we have no problem with the house. Even if you add furniture, it is not a problem. All that's left is to buy property for our family. ”

"In the winter, I estimate that there will be 350,000 taels of silver in the account. When the time comes, I will buy some land, preferably around the capital. If I can't buy it around the capital, I will send someone with my brother to go to Zhili Province and the neighboring Lu Province to have a look. It would be nice to be able to buy more land. ”
