Chapter 149: A lot of questions
When Qin Mingyue returned to the mansion, it was already after dinner, Qin Mingyue was eating in the Star Picking Building, and before eating, she sent someone to inform the family that she would go home today. Speaking of which, I'm ashamed, in this world, can there be a few girls who haven't been out of the cabinet and don't have a home every day?
However, for the busy Qin Mingyue, the Qin family is obviously used to it. As soon as they heard that Qin Mingyue was going home, they hurriedly put down the things they were doing and waited on time in Madame Yin's upper room.
When Qin Mingyue entered Mrs. Yin's upper room, she saw that her grandmother, father, mother, and eldest brother were all there, and she couldn't help but smile, and she saluted the elders.
The anxious Qin Ping had already hurriedly helped Qin Mingyue up and said, "Mingyue, have you retreated again this time?" Why haven't you been home for so long? In three days, the banquet we have set will begin. You came in and saw that the ceilings in the front and back yards were all up, right? ”
Qin Mingyue was let by her father to sit on the official hat chair on her right hand. Qin Mingyue, who was careful, immediately discovered that this was no longer the cheap furniture in her mother's room before. It is a carved intarsia rosewood furniture. Such precious wood, cumbersome carving, and exquisite luodian inlays all show that they are of great value.
Qin Mingyue then saw the tea served by Ziyun, one of the four big maids in her mother's room, which was a small crystal bowl of Ru porcelain, and inside was a cup of tender green and fragrant snow bud tea.
This is the top standard configuration of the aristocratic house. Qin Mingyue couldn't help but nod secretly in her heart, it seemed that the family had prepared a lot for this banquet. It's hard for my brother to be so well prepared in such a short time.
Qin Mingyue said: "Father, I have seen it all. The home has changed a lot, not only the front yard is whitewashed, but the furniture at home, the ceiling in the yard, and the flowers and plants planted at home are very beautiful. ”
Qin Ping said with satisfaction: "This is thanks to your eldest brother and your second uncle and aunt." ”
This matter was done by the eldest brother, Qin Mingyue was not surprised at all, what surprised her was that there was actually the handiwork of the second uncle's family. The second uncle's family is the most insatiable, I remember that in the previous life, the second uncle's family had always had conflicts with her father's family, and she couldn't remember how many times her father said bad things about the second uncle's family in front of her. Therefore, in her previous life, she did not give her second uncle any benefits. However, even so, the second uncle's family did not use her name to collect money outside.
In this life, when she was just reborn, didn't the second aunt come to force herself to marry that scumbag Hua Yixuan? When I am still ready, I want to teach my second aunt a lesson.
Why is it that the second uncle and second aunt have come to help their family now.
Qin Mingyue had doubts in her heart, but she didn't say it, she glanced at her brother, and said with a smile: "Really?" Father, I have to thank the second uncle's family. ”
Mrs. An was the happiest when she heard this sentence: "Hey, it's all a family, dearest, of course I'm going to help." However, Mingyue, if you have a chance in the future, it would be best to find a serious thing for your second uncle to do. After all, it's your second uncle, and it's better to have an official position. ”
Could it be that the officials of the imperial court grew it in their own homes? Can you distribute it yourself? However, this kind of truth doesn't make sense with her grandmother, Qin Mingyue just smiled and nodded.
Mrs. Yin was dissatisfied, and recently, the family has praised the second uncle's family, and she is naturally extremely unhappy. Mrs. Yin asked her daughter at this moment: "Mingyue, how many times have you received letters from your grandfather's house, I want to ask you to go to their homes to visit and relax one day, when do you have time?" ”
Qin Mingyue was about to postpone, but she didn't see her grandfather's family. Not to mention anything else, just a yin autumn can make her full of anger.
However, without waiting for Qin Mingyue to speak, her father had already blocked it for her: "You always think about your mother's family." Are you from the Yin family, or are you from our Qin family? Don't forget, you're a serious Duchess of Liguo. Mingyue is your own. You haven't seen this period of time, Mingyue is busy, her little face has lost weight, and she doesn't have time to go home, where is the time to go to the broken garden of your Yin family? ”
When Mrs. Yin heard her husband's words, although she was not happy, she didn't dare to make a noise, and she looked a little aggrieved. At this time, Mrs. An spoke: "Eldest daughter-in-law, you are also a person with daughters, why do you still think about your mother's family in everything?" We're going to have a feast in our house right now. Although it has been held once before. However, it was only a small-scale banquet, where could it be like this this time, the nobles of the capital were basically coming. Mingyue also said that it is the emperor, and there will be a reward when the time comes. For our Qin family, this is already a grace that has not been seen for decades. ”
"Our busy feet don't touch the ground. There are a lot of things, you have to wait for Mingyue to come back to discuss, you don't talk about serious things, but mention the of your mother's visit to the garden. Like words? ”
When Mrs. Yin heard Mrs. An's words, she didn't dare to speak even more. Although she slandered in her heart, don't you also miss your mother's family? There were many more relatives at home than usual. However, as a daughter-in-law, where does she dare to talk back to her mother-in-law? She could only bow her head and remain silent.
Seeing her mother like this, Qin Mingyue was distressed and angry. After all, this is her biological mother, and she is also distressed by being suppressed by her father and grandmother like this. However, thinking that her mother had always been so unable to distinguish the situation, Qin Mingyue also had a headache. Hey, I have to think of a way to find someone to enlighten my mother in the future.
Thinking in her heart, she heard her father say to her: "Mingyue, you said that the emperor will have a reward at that time, is it true?" So do we have to prepare in advance for the incense case and the like? Is there still a holy decree? Isn't the Queen Mother already seriously ill? And there will be rewards? Is there a reward for the queen? How do you receive this? ”
Qin Mingyue said: "It is to prepare to receive the holy decree." The emperor, the queen, and the people around the queen mother have already told the people who picked up the star tower that there will be a reward when the time comes. Also, it is estimated that a few favored ladies in the palace will also be rewarded. Father, be sure to prepare some silver nudes in advance for rewards. In addition, it is necessary to give red envelopes to the eunuchs who come to proclaim and execute. This is done with a silver ticket. I think Mama Ma came out of the palace. She'll be able to figure it out. ”
"In addition, as for the ministers in the court, it is estimated that several ministers cannot come in person. However, the daughters of the family should come, so the mother and grandmother should also receive them. More than half of the officials in the six ministries, from Shangshu to Shilang, Langzhong, are estimated to come. However, the first day should be all big officials, so my father just needs to be ready. Aren't we three days? The rank of this official is also decreasing. On the third day, the ordinary officials came. We have to be entertained all the same. ”
"Mama Ma has calculations for these things, and when the time comes, I will send a few people from the Star Picking Tower to help. So, father, don't be in a hurry. ”
Qin Ping was relieved when he heard this.
