Qin Mingyue's voice was a little chilly: "Before, we couldn't open the pot in our mansion. If we don't pay back the three thousand taels of silver we owe, we will all be kicked out of the mansion, and the old lady didn't say anything, take out the property we have gotten and use it? ”

Mama Liao pursed her lips: "Miss, you have never taken care of these things. That's how our old lady is. How many of these things have happened in our mansion over the years? There are many times when you can't open the pot. The old lady has always held the gourd without opening the scoop. First, her dowry will never move. Second, the furniture she has accumulated over the years will definitely not be touched. Even if she wants to go out of the house and sleep on the street, she doesn't care, and she won't take out a penny. ”

"Back then, once, the house really couldn't open the pot, and there were piles of accounts outside at the door. At that time, the old grandfather was still there. The old man also forced her to take out the money, or if she didn't take it out, she would sell all her formula maids. Those are the companions and personal maids who have served her faithfully for so many years, and they all cry and beg the old lady. But the old lady just blindly complained, saying that she didn't have a penny. In the end, the old grandfather had no way, and when he was angry, he sold those people. Among them, there is also the niece of the old slave, who married the son of the old lady's companion, and was also sold. What a wickedness. ”

Seeing Mama Liao's sad and indignant look, Qin Mingyue couldn't help asking, "Where was your niece's family sold?" ”

Mama Liao said: "Their family is the companion room for the old lady to manage the property. When he settled down, he was a slave who had managed the grange for generations, and he was very proficient in farming. After arriving at our Qin family, he also made great contributions to the old lady. Back then, my family married my niece for the sake of their head of the village. Whoever thought about it, it was actually sold. Fortunately, I bought them because I liked their farming skills. was bought back by a small landlord in the capital, and the housekeeper's head couldn't do it. The whole family is doing farm work. My niece is also much older, and her bones are broken. ”

When Mama Liao said this, she was in tears.

Qin Mingyue said: "So, Mama still has dealings with them? ”

Mama Liao said: "How many of the slaves who went out of our house can live well? The new owner doesn't trust, and the old owner doesn't care, how pitiful. I am the son of a family in the house, and most of the slaves in the house are related to each other, so naturally I need to take care of them more. ”

Qin Mingyue said: "That's right, this time, you can buy back those who are not doing well, have a good heart, and are loyal." Especially your niece's family. Their old master will not help them anymore. ”

Mama Liao was overjoyed: "Thank you, Miss, I was just about to say to Miss that I want to redeem my niece and a large family." Although her father-in-law and mother-in-law are not young, in their forties, their bodies are still quite strong, especially since her father-in-law is a good manager of the farm. As for the loyalty to the old master, after experiencing such a sale, their family hated the old lady to death, how could they be willing to treat the old lady loyally? ”

Qin Mingyue tugged at the corners of her mouth, and a sneer escaped: "It's just such a person." I am familiar with my grandmother, but I hate my grandmother. Okay, I'll leave these things to the two grandmothers. I'm also going to read the book. ”

The two grandmothers hurriedly bowed and retreated.

After they left, Qin Mingyue played with the white jade brush wash sent by Mrs. Yang, the delicate material and exquisite carving showed the luxury of the contemporary national teacher's mansion.

Qin Mingyue whispered, "Grandmother is really interesting. In my previous life, how could I not have found out? She actually watched the family business fall and refused to use her private house? It's really ruthless. In my previous life, just for the debt of three thousand taels of silver, she actually designed to push me and Hua Yixuan together. In order to get the 100,000 taels of silver from the Hua family, so as to solve the urgent need. ”

"I thought that my grandmother would do this because she was forced by money to keep the mansion alive. Now it seems that if nothing else, in the past few months alone, I have become a disciple of the national teacher, and these gifts from hundreds of officials can at least have tens of thousands of taels of silver. How could there be a shortage of the three thousand taels of silver? Grandmother is really eccentric. ”

With such a low voice, even the maids waiting outside couldn't hear it, but the anger in Qin Mingyue's heart became bigger and bigger. This is her relatives, her grandmother, her biological mother, holding, relying on the money she earned, it is not enough, and she has to sell it to the Hua family to make a lot of money. Are you in their blood?

Two days later, Qin Mingyue came to the Shen family of Mingli Gong as promised. The Shen family is actually not far from the Liguo Mansion, and it is even closer to the Star Picking Tower. The house is very large, and it is a big house with seven entrances and three roads. Indeed, there are not many people living in it. Because Shen Guoshi is still there, the Shen family is not separated. Shen Guoshi loves purity and has always lived in the back garden of the hall. Instead, he gave up the big mansion in front of him to his sons to live in.

In this way, the middle road is naturally inhabited by Shen Guoshi's eldest son, Shen Yuxing's family. Their family inherited the title of Duke Mingli, so naturally they wanted to live in the middle of the house. On the east road lived Shen Guoshi's youngest son, Shen Zaixing. The west road is for juniors.

Mrs. Yang, the Duchess of Mingli, was born in a famous family, and the housekeeper's methods are first-class. So although the whole mansion is large, everything seems to be in order. Look at the mansion of the prince like this, and then look at the mansion of the prince of your own family, you can really die of shame.

Qin Mingyue decided to follow Mrs. Yang to learn how to manage housework.

Qin Mingyue is not an outsider, so naturally the carriage came down after arriving at the second gate. As soon as I got out of the carriage, I saw a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes waiting there, this was Mrs. Yang's eldest daughter-in-law, Shen Xinghai's wife, Liu.

Liu's face as white as dough was full of smiles: "Little Aunt is here, it's been hard all the way, please come into the upper room, right?" My mother was waiting, and sent people out to see it several times. ”

Qin Mingyue didn't dare to be big, although she was a generation older than the Liu family in terms of generation, but the Liu family was the wife of the prince, about thirty years old, and her daughters were already ten years old. It's not much smaller than her. She hurriedly said: "I'm really embarrassed to bother Mrs. Shizi to come over in person." ”

Liu is a cool person, she smiled and said: "It's my honor to welcome the little sister, little sister, don't call me Mrs. Shizi." We are originally a family, so it's better to call me Liu. ”

Where could Qin Mingyue really shout like that, the two of them were polite for a while, and then went to the upper room.
