Mrs. Yang looked at Qin Mingyue's immature face and couldn't help but say, "Thank you, what?" We are family. ”

"Hey, Mingyue, it's hard for you to take care of these at a young age. Look at your Qin family, because of you, in less than a year, you have now become a wealthy family in the capital. The glory of the Guogong Mansion has long been restored. Fugui is even more ruthless than before, it's really hard for you. ”

Hearing this, Qin Mingyue's eyes turned red, but she quickly held back: "Sister-in-law, you still know that you feel sorry for me." Nothing, though? Everything is still supported by the master, the help given to me by the Shen family, otherwise, where would I have put the family in order so quickly? ”

Mrs. Yang was about to say something, but Shen Xingyi couldn't stand the sad atmosphere and said, "Okay, mother, what's the matter with you?" During the Chinese New Year, when I said these words, the little aunt recruited was going to shed tears. It's just time for everyone to be free today. Tomorrow, it's going to be a holiday again, where is there time for our mothers to be happy? Sister-in-law, didn't you prepare a feast? Hurry up and invite the little aunt to eat, and after eating, please invite the little aunt to enjoy the plum blossoms at our house. These plum blossoms in our family were all planted by my grandmother back then, and they are all different plum blossoms, which is very rare. ”

Liu Shi hurriedly followed: "Exactly, today's banquet is placed in the sparse shadow horizontal oblique hall against the plum blossom forest. The hall, again spacious, was inlaid with huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The ground dragon was laid underground, and it had long been burned warmly. We can enjoy the plum blossoms in the hall while eating it. ”

Yang Shi hurriedly put it away and sighed: "Look at me, I'm not old and confused. What Xingyi and Liu said is, let's hurry over and get used. ”

Qin Mingyue naturally followed the daughter of the Shen family to the Shuying Hengxian Hall to play for a day, which could be regarded as relaxing.

The next day's 15th Lantern Festival. Qin Mingyue didn't go anywhere, so she stayed at home and had a family banquet with her parents and relatives.

This year, because of the national funeral, the prestigious lantern market in the capital has not been opened, so the Lantern Festival is extremely deserted. There was no banquet in the palace, so naturally Qin Mingyue, Mrs. Yin and others did not need to enter the palace. Everyone walked around their yard and ate a meal as a family.

Qin Mingyue looked at Qin Mingzhu and Qin Minghuan, and thought to herself, it was rare that their sisters didn't make a big fuss, but when she saw the brilliance on Qin Mingzhu's face, she knew that she was very satisfied with her family affairs. Naturally, I won't say sour words anymore. It's just that Qin Mingyue wants to laugh in her heart, when Qin Mingzhu gets married next year, she may not be so happy when she knows what fate awaits her.

Qin Mingyue didn't say anything, and after eating, she returned to her courtyard under the pretext of reading Taoist books.

It was Qin Guosong who followed.

Qin Mingyue invited her brother to tea, and said to her brother while drinking tea: "Brother, you have been busy during the recent Chinese New Year, right?" ”

Qin Guosong said: "This is nothing? I can still handle these things. Originally, they all came to the door to talk to us, give gifts, and set friendships. It didn't embarrass me for half a point, how could I work hard. It's just that our family is really short of manpower. There are too many people from the three religions and nine streams who come to the door, and I can't receive them all by myself. There is no way, so I will classify all the people, and the bigwigs in the court, the top families among the nobles, I will personally receive them. The family of merchants, the royal merchants, I asked my second uncle to help me receive them. There are also some gentlemen, but they are just here to make a friendship, so I asked my father to receive them. ”

Qin Mingyue smiled: "Brother, you know how to make good use of people." ”

Qin Guosong sighed and said: "There is no way, this is also a matter of picking a general among the lame, there is no way." ”

Qin Mingyue couldn't help but laugh even more heartily when she heard her brother compare her second uncle and father to a cripple. However, she knows that her brother is a filial person and a kind person. Although he had complaints about his second uncle and father, who had been a gentleman all his life, he still gave his second uncle some messengers, gave him a long face, and gave his father the best supply, so that Qin Ping could enjoy his wealth and prosperity.

Qin Guosong said: "After the New Year, the yamen began to operate normally, and these things in our family can be reduced. However, when the time comes, I will go out with you, what will I do in this house? There's no one in charge. ”

Qin Mingyue frowned. It's really a difficult thing to do. If only before, she would have handed over the house to the two grandmothers. Anyway, the Qin family didn't have any entertainment. However, now that the Qin family has returned to the upper class of society in a high-profile manner, every time there is a constant socialization, it is not possible without people who support the court. For her father and second uncle, Qin Mingyue was very uneasy.

Qin Mingyue asked, "Then what does my brother think I should do?" ”

Qin Guosong said: "It's really not good, I can only stay." Anyway, I let Qin Guoliang in the clan and our seventh uncle Qin Kang follow you. and Zeng Yukun. Come to think of it, my sister has enough manpower. ”

Qin Mingyue said: "My manpower is naturally sufficient. Even if I don't bring people from home, I pick up the star building and I have more people. However, don't I want to train a few people in my family and follow me to make a contribution, so that I can have a face in front of others in the future, and I can also share the burden on my brother? ”

Qin Guosong nodded and said, "I naturally know what my sister means." I'm also very anxious about this. I have no problem coping with these chores though. However, in the end, he is young and has experienced few things, if he can go out with his sister to experience it and gain knowledge, he will be able to better help his sister in the future. However, isn't it impossible to leave this house? So be it this time. It's just that we have to train people as soon as possible, otherwise, I can't go out of the capital for the rest of my life? ”

Qin Mingyue said: "Just wait until my sister-in-law enters the door." She also helped her sister-in-law take care of a Hou Mansion in her mother's house. There are more things in their Zeng family than our current Qin family. Come to think of it, she will be able to take care of our house clearly. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Guosong couldn't help blushing. Ban Xiang said: "Where is the sister who always makes fun of my brother?" However, you are all right. is to get married in the future, and someone inside will preside over it, but when you meet guests and socialize outside, you will have an industry and manage the industry in the future, will you let the insiders take care of it? Our Qin family still lacks people to support the court. ”

There is some truth to this. The Qin family has a large population, but most of them were divided by Qin Mingyue's grandmother. Moreover, Qin Mingyue's father and ancestors are all gentlemen, where are the talents cultivated? Therefore, the Qin family now has a large number of children, many people who are not producing, and few people who are capable! 1.
