Chapter 184: The Inkstone

The Great Zhou has been peaceful for a long time, and the capital is even more rich and prosperous, and the nobles are accustomed to pleasure, and there are banquets like today that are late at night, almost every day in the capital. Everyone has become accustomed to this rich and extravagant life.

Qin Mingyue saw the scene of decay in this kind of wealth and luxury, the dynasty has existed for more than 200 years, the government has accumulated a lot of evils, the life of the common people is not good, and there are three powerful countries outside. In such a situation, the nobles only knew pleasure, the princes took the throne, and the courtiers were busy fighting for power. Isn't it dangerous to have such a world and such a government?

Qin Mingyue smiled bitterly, there were too many things that needed to be changed in Da Zhou. The responsibility on her shoulders for the future is very heavy. However, what made Qin Mingyue happy was that the marriage with the Hua family, which had been threatening her all along, was finally avoided.

As soon as she thought that she didn't have to marry into the Hua family and no longer have to live a life like a dead heart in her previous life, Qin Mingyue felt that all her fatigue had disappeared.

Qin Mingyue was happy again, took the maids back to her residence, and slept sweetly.

The next day, it was rare that Qin Mingyue did not get up early as usual to practice and exercise. This time, she slept comfortably. When I woke up, it was already three poles of the sun.

When Qin Mingyue saw this, she didn't think about going back to the Star Picking Tower to deal with affairs. I'm in a good mood today, so let's just play at home for a day.

While eating breakfast, Qin Mingyue called two grandmothers and four maids to come over.

Qin Mingyue said: "I won't go out today." Chunyin, you can go out to find He Jinfang later, and tell him, I have already told Mrs. Hou Shizi of Xiangyang about the makeup and satin. You take him to Ma's house again. When you see Xingyi, go with them. Just come back and tell me about the results of the discussion. Well, by the way, you can't go over empty-handed, when you go to see He Jinfang, bring He Jinfang two jars of imperial wine and two womb flowers, and let him go back and bring them to his family. Bring some fresh fruits from our Zhuangzi to Xingyi. And the fruit wine we made from those fruits, well, that's not enough, I remember I had a pair of gold and mutton fat jade ruyi in my storeroom. You give it to her, and she knows what it means. ”

Normal exchanges, just send some food, fruits. Yesterday, she asked Shen Xingyi to help like this, which contributed to the matter of Hua Yixuan and Yin Dyed Qiu, and Qin Mingyue naturally wanted to give a gift for this love.

Chunyin hurriedly came down. I went to prepare, and then I went out.

Qin Mingyue said to Mama Ma and Mama Liao again: "Yesterday's banquet was very successful, even the things I arranged were all smooth. This is all thanks to the two grandmothers, Dongqu, who opened the clip on my dresser, took out two red gold bonsai hairpins, and gave one to each of the two grandmothers. ”

Mama Ma and Mama Liao hurriedly thanked them.

Qin Mingyue said: "Did you clean up all the housework from yesterday?" ”

Mama Ma and Mama Liao said, "It's all cleaned up." Everything that should be put into storage has been put into storage, and everything that should be put into account has been put into the account. It's just, miss, are all the gifts from these families really put in the treasury of the public middle school? Not in the private vault of the young lady? ”

Qin Mingyue said: "Although these things were given by everyone looking at my face, no matter how you say it, they are all sent to congratulate my brother." It's right to put it in the public treasury. By the way, in a while, when I have time, I'll go to the storeroom to have a look. Anyway, it's idle today. It happened that the storeroom was next to the garden, and after a while, I stopped by to take a look at the garden. You also call my brother over, and the two of us will discuss how to arrange the garden. ”

The two grandmothers hurriedly responded.

Then, Qin Mingyue instructed again, don't forget to give a gift to the Hou Hua family and the Yin family in Jinyang respectively, to congratulate the two families on their marriage. Although I gave Hua Yixuan and Yin Dye Qiu gifts yesterday, I have to go through the motions today.

When everything was done, Qin Mingyue was also well fed. Only then did I remember that I said to Mama Ma: "Mama Ma, yesterday's guests all said that our family's food was well cooked. This is made by borrowing from our chef who picks up the stars, right? Remember to seal two first-class seals for the chef and send a jar of imperial wine. The rest were sent with a first-class envelope. ”

"Also, talk to the chef, it's impossible for him to come to our house to cook. However, let's see, in his family, among his apprentices, if there is a good craft, recommend one to our family. Our house pays us twice as much as we pay outside. Of course, we must be willing to sell the death deed to our family. Also, be sure to let Xixinglou check if it is innocent. ”

Mama Ma should go down.

Qin Mingyue walked outside, followed by the rest of the maids and Mama Liao. Walking through the corner gate, it was very fast, and after a while, we had already arrived at the warehouse. This is still the old treasury of the Liguo Mansion, on the edge of the backyard, relatively secluded, but the side is heavily guarded. It is a two-story building.

Qin Mingyue passed, and naturally Mama Liao took the key and asked someone to open the warehouse.

Qin Mingyue looked over and saw that it was well organized, so she couldn't help but nodded. She wasn't really interested in any of that, just to see how people were doing their jobs now.

Looking at it this way, I found that yesterday was so hectic and chaotic, and today, everything has been classified and put into the warehouse. Even the registration and compilation have been done. This speed was very satisfying to Qin Mingyue.

She looked at it casually, asked for a booklet to read, and saw that the record was very proper, so she praised a few words and prepared to go outside.

Her main purpose today was to discuss with her brother how to renovate the garden.

However, just as her footsteps were about to leave the warehouse, the Xuangui Jade Plate, which had not moved for a long time, moved. A voice appeared in Qin Mingyue's sea of knowledge: "Mingyue, hurry up, go back to the warehouse." Go to the third shelf on the right. ”

Qin Mingyue was stunned. The warehouse at home was still empty before, and after these several banquets, it can be regarded as a little fuller, what good things can be, and they all alarmed Lord Xuangui? However, surprise to surprise, Qin Mingyue still walked quickly back to the direction of the third shelf on her right hand.

Looking at this shelf, it turned out to be a shelf where some inkstones were placed. Because it was a banquet to congratulate the prince on his canonization, many of the gifts given by the guests were high-end scholars and the four treasures. Therefore, there are more inkstones sent here. At a cursory glance, there are actually more than a dozen. There are so many inkstones, presumably everyone at home can't use up a single one, so it is natural to put them all away properly.

This shelf is purpose-built.
