Chapter 119: Matching of Concubines
After Mama Liao left, Qin Mingyue thought for a while and fell asleep.
The next day, Qin Mingyue was about to go out, and the old lady had already called someone to invite her.
After Qin Mingyue passed, the old lady said with an unhappy face: "I heard that you told your mother that you want to marry Minghuan to the children of the Yin family?" But really? I was going to tell you yesterday. I think Minghuan is good, and I want to marry Minghuan to the An family. The An family also said okay. You are like this, how can I tell the An family? Could it be that you only recognize the Yin family, the maternal grandfather's family, and don't recognize the great-grandfather's family? ”
This is to oppress people with filial piety.
Qin Mingyue didn't panic at all, and said directly to Yuhe: "Yuhe, you tell everyone to go down, I want to say a few words to my grandmother." ”
Yuhe hurriedly took the maids and grandmothers down.
In the luxurious room, only Mrs. An and Qin Mingyue remained.
Qin Mingyue said at this time: "Grandmother, Minghuan is also your granddaughter, you see that she thinks well, that's normal." But, grandmother, is she really good? The identity of the concubine is nothing? She grew up as a grandmother, what is her character, grandmother really doesn't know? ”
As soon as these few words were spoken, the anger on Mrs. An's face dropped a lot, and she showed a look of thinking.
Qin Mingyue continued: "Minghuan was taught and raised by Aunt Shui since he was a child. What is the origin of Aunt Shui, grandmother is not clear? ”
The old lady was a little embarrassed on her face, what could Aunt Shui be, it was the Oiran that her son bought back from the Qinglou, and she was used to confusing men, but if you want to say that the housekeeper director of everyone's ladies club is knowledgeable, it has nothing to do with Aunt Shui.
Qin Mingyue said: "Grandmother will know just by looking at the eldest sister. I've been inviting my grandmother to come over and teach me for almost two years, how much has I grown? When did you go out and not talk to other ladies? Which time will not disgrace our Liguo Mansion? Therefore, I found her a prominent in-law who can hold on, or if she gets married in the future and offends people, her in-laws can't hold it, and it's not her who suffers. Also, the eldest sister doesn't know yet. The people of the Niu family said that she married the second son, and after getting married, the second son was going back to the clan to manage the family property. Her temperament offended people in the capital, and it didn't end well for us and the Niu family. After all, the capital is full of powerful people, and it is not good to offend anyone. If it is in the Niu family's clan land, then in the countryside, the Niu family is naturally the largest with a title, and it doesn't matter if she offends people. ”
The old lady nodded and said, "I am also very satisfied with Mingzhu's family matter. Her temperament is really not suitable for staying in the capital. Anyway, we have enough for her to marry, and she can't show it in the capital, and in that rural place, these are enough for her to have enough food and clothing for a lifetime. ”
Qin Mingyue said, "Yes." The matter of the eldest sister is solved. But what about Minghuan's? Although she is younger, her temperament is not as strong as that of her eldest sister. After two years of teaching by my grandmother, I have been much better, and I look well-behaved from the outside, and I look like a lady. However, we all know this inner character. So where is a virtuous one? ”
Mrs. An thought about it for a moment. The virtuous looks on the outside are all pretended, their own family, who doesn't know who?
Qin Mingyue said: "Minghuan is still young. I thought, one is to stay at home for a few more years, so that Mama can teach and teach. In this way, you can also come back with some boards. Second, carefully find her in-law's family, and it is best to find a petty official's sister-in-law to marry. The population is simpler, and with our own marriage, she can live comfortably. Although she is not prominent, with our support, no one bullies her. ”
However, her grandmother and mother took a fancy to her and wanted to marry her into her mother's family. I weighed it again and again and decided to marry her to the Yin family. ”
The old lady's face was pale.
Qin Mingyue said: "Why do you want to marry her to the Yin family." Because the cousin of the Yin family has not studied well since he was a child, he is used to playing in the maid team, and he doesn't care about reading at all. In the future, it will be the life of a rich child, and you don't have to think about fame at all. Not to mention, what kind of temper does my aunt have, don't you know what kind of temper your old man has? What is a good thing about being her daughter-in-law? Her daughter-in-law will definitely be disciplined to death in the future. I thought about it, if I marry Minghuan, at least my aunt will take care of her, and she won't cause anything. In this way, it will not implicate our Qin family. ”
"I also asked someone to inquire about the cousin of your family. Although it is a side branch, the character is very good, and the situation at home is a little harder, but that cousin has already made a name for himself, and he will study hard for a few years in the future, and he may not be a Jinshi in the future. Such a good boy, how can he let Minghuan go to waste? ”
Heard Qin Mingyue say this about her sister. Mrs. An was very strangely not only not angry, but her face was tense, and she smiled and nodded and said, "You are thinking about it very right." Grandmothers are old and inevitably inconsiderate. ”
"Mingyue, you are the granddaughter of your grandmother's mother-in-law, and your grandmother doesn't hide it from you. I want Minghuan to marry in the past, just because our Qin family is in a better situation now, and with a little money, there are a lot of dowries for concubines. The cousin of your An family has a good character and knowledge, although he is a side branch, but when his grandfather was there, he was a cousin who was very good to me. How can I watch his descendants live such a poor life, unable to even continue their studies? ”
"That's why I thought about marrying Minghuan, and with her dowry, I can support your cousin to study hard."
Qin Mingyue smiled and said, "Grandmother, this cousin of the An family is also my cousin, he is so motivated, how can I not support him?" Now, our Qin family is not short of money, and its power is increasing day by day, so what are we? Are we talented? If a family wants to be revived, can it be without people? Can I do it just by relying on my eldest brother? ”
"If there are a few more successful relatives in the family, the eldest brother will be more relaxed, and our Qin family will be able to restore the glory of our ancestors as soon as possible, isn't it?"
When it came to restoring the glory of her ancestors, Mrs. An couldn't help but get excited. She has been married to the Qin family for a lifetime, and what is the hope for her, that is, to restore the glory of the ancestors of the Qin family.
Qin Mingyue said: "The cousin of the An family is so motivated, if he can kiss us in the future, he will also be an arm of the eldest brother." Therefore, my grandmother was right, if I could marry a girl from our family, my cousin would also have money to fund his studies, and our family would be fine in the future. ”
Mrs. An heard Qin Mingyue's words: "You think I'm right, but Minghuan is not suitable, what should I do?" ”
Qin Mingyue smiled and said, "Do the girls in our family only have Minghuan?" Don't I still have two aunts who are not married? ”
Mrs. An's eyes lit up immediately.
