Chapter Forty-Six: The Inner School
Qin Mingyue then asked, "What about my grandmother?" ”
Mama Liao said: "Old lady, naturally she is very angry. For so many years, no one has ever dared to take the power of the housekeeper away from her. Now that it belongs to Miss, she is naturally opposed to every decision made by Miss. However, Grandpa Guo didn't listen to a word of what she said, and he didn't even allow the servants in her courtyard to say it. However, the old lady has no kindness to the people around her, and she never gives a reward. Therefore, the grandmothers and maids around her were very happy to get the monthly money, and naturally told us everything about the old lady. ”
Qin Mingyue didn't know what to say about her grandmother. The Liguo Mansion has the current decline situation, in addition to Qin Mingyue's fathers and ancestors, there is another important reason, that is, Qin Mingyue's grandmother, Mrs. An, holds the power of the housekeeper. It's just that she doesn't have any housekeeping skills, and she loses money when she runs anything, which naturally accelerates the fall of the Guogong Mansion.
It doesn't matter if the business is not good, she has always been generous to herself and picks on others. Selling servants, not giving monthly money to her subordinates is her idea. Over the years, she has firmly controlled her dowry, and she has desperately scooped money from the mansion and stuffed it into her dowry.
Of course, most of this property ended up in the hands of her youngest son. This is why the Liguo Mansion lives such a stretched life. Of course, Qin Ping, the Duke of Liguo, didn't know anything about these things. Therefore, he was very resentful of his mother and complained that his mother favored the younger son. Therefore, this time, Qin Mingyue wanted to take care of the house, and Qin Ping agreed without much thought.
Qin Mingyue said indifferently: "Leave her alone." Anyway, if there is something, my father will take care of it. ”
Mama Ma talked to Qin Mingyue for a while before retiring.
Qin Mingyue looked at the bright moon outside the window, thinking about the things of the day. He gave He Jinfang the skills of makeup and silk, as well as the technology of weaving express. After He Jinfang goes back, he will definitely be able to strengthen his wings and make a career, so that not only will the problem of using silver in his mansion be solved, but the matter of attacking the Hua family will also be settled.
In his previous life, He Jinfang did not have these skills, just with his excellent management skills and He Xiang's support, he beat the Hua family to the ground, if it wasn't for the support of his own national teacher, I am afraid that the Hua family has been defeated by He Jinfang.
There is no way, Qin Mingyue gave these technologies to the Hua family in her previous life, which made the Hua family stand firm, but she could no longer keep the position of the first brother, and was suppressed by He Jinfang, who had no technology, everywhere.
In this life, He Jinfang has his own support, and his power is no less than He Xiang, and he has obtained these technologies that have exceeded more than ten years, can he still suppress a Hua family?
Qin Mingyue couldn't help but smile from the corner of her mouth.
The next day, Qin Mingyue went to say goodbye to her parents. Lady Yin came up and said, "I heard that you took the silver to do business, and actually went to buy three boatloads of plain silk?" Why did you buy that? Our family does not have a weaving and dyeing workshop, and plain silk has never been profitable. Isn't this taking money to throw away? You kid, in business, why don't you discuss it with your father, or with your uncles. Really. ”
Qin Mingyue asked, "Mother, how do you know that I bought three boats of plain silk?" ”
The people around Qin Mingyue should be very loyal, how could the news leak so quickly?
Lady Yin said, "How do I know? It's not the Hua family who sent someone to tell your grandmother. Your grandmother called me over and scolded me, I don't know? ”
Ah, the problem is with the Hua family. That's it. Qin Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, it was good that it wasn't leaked by the people around her.
This matter, it is normal for the Hua family to do this, they have ruined a small business of the Hua family, can the Hua family's account office come back and tell the main mother, Mrs. An, Mrs. An naturally sent someone to tell her aunt, Mrs. An of the Liguo family. It is normal for grandmothers to lose their temper and scold her mother for this. This matter made her mother suffer for her. Well, you have to think about making up for your mother.
Qin Mingyue said: "My daughter has a reason to buy these plain silks, and you will know in two days." Anyway, you will only make money, and you will not lose money. ”
Qin Ping and Lady Yin both showed suspicious looks.
Qin Mingyue continued: "But there is only one grandmother and a personal maid who serves my mother, and she does all the rough work, even the meticulous work, she is too busy." It is also inconvenient for the mother to use. I have already asked someone to take the money to the children of the house that we used to sell it to, and pick up some of them, and buy a few of them, so that in two days I can buy a few maids for my mother. ”
When she heard her daughter honoring herself like this, Mrs. Yin was happy in her heart. Naturally, I forgot about my mother-in-law scolding me. Anyway, she can't be treated by her mother-in-law, and it's not a day or two.
Qin Ping spoke: "Mingyue, it's right for you to manage the domestic servants. I looked at it coldly, and the servants in our mansion were too scattered. It is also normal to stand up and behave. However, if the people around you are rude to your sister, then it is not right. You have to take care of it, too. ”
Qin Mingyue didn't argue with her father, but honestly responded. Such a deferential attitude made Qin Ping very satisfied, and the anger in his heart was naturally calm.
Qin Mingyue opened her mouth and said, "Father, there is something I still want to discuss with my father. After all, our Qin family is the mansion of the state prince. There is no clan education at home, and the older brothers and younger brothers can only go to school outside. I don't think that's good. Therefore, I discussed with the master and asked the people who picked up the star building to pay attention to it and see if we could find a good gentleman to come to our house to sit in. I'll figure it out. ”
"Also, my rules and knowledge are all studied in the Star Picking Building, so I won't talk about this. However, the sisters, and the two aunts, had no one to teach. They are all older, and they are about to look at each other, the rules, the female workers needlework, the housekeeper, and the same knowledge have not been learned, but they are just mixed up with a few aunts like this, and they will marry in the future, isn't it that others laugh at our family's tutor? Also, they don't know any of these, how can they find a good family? Therefore, I would like to set up an inner school in the house first, and find my grandmother to teach my sisters and aunts what women should learn. ”
"This is not as difficult as Mr. Please. Mama Ma next to me was born in the court, and the rules and etiquette are the best, just ask her to teach her. I will slowly visit a good female gentleman to teach the sisters piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I will be able to learn it slowly. Wouldn't that be good? ”
Lady Yin pouted secretly. She didn't care about the daughters who came out of the concubines, but she didn't dare to oppose them openly, because her husband was very fond of the daughters who came out of the concubines.
It was Qin Ping who was happy.
