It's time for the New Year in a blink of an eye. Prepare for this period of time for the New Year. Because the inside of the yamen is sealed, Qin Mingyue doesn't have any government affairs to deal with, that is, during the Chinese New Year, he has to preside over several big sacrifices, and Shen Guoshi is responsible for these things, but Shen Guoshi is now more and more lazy.

In addition to retreat and study, his practice is to calculate, or to go out to visit friends, and not to live too chic.

Fortunately, Qin Mingyue was used to doing these things in her previous life, so it was effortless to deal with them, and because now is different from her previous life. Now that the treasury is abundant and the politics are clear, the emperor in power is not the faint monarch Xiao Xi in his previous life, but now this emperor is Emperor Changping, this is a hard-working emperor, so Qin Mingyue needs to do a lot less things all of a sudden, and there is no feeling of being constrained everywhere and being hindered everywhere in his previous life, so it is naturally very easy to do it.

The government affairs of the Xingxing Building have been handled, and Qin Mingyue does not need to worry about the affairs at home. Now Qin Mingyue has silver in his hand, and the Qin family is in ruins, not only has the family's mansion been redeemed. It is the repair of the house, and the general layout of the house is almost finished.

For this, it cost Qin Mingyue 150,000 taels of silver. The garden is not yet fully tidied up. If you want to tidy it up, you have to wait until the winter snow melts and you can plant trees in the spring. After a rough estimate, the garden built according to Qin Mingyue's requirements, no matter what, it would cost about 100,000 taels of silver.

Actually, this is because the foundation of the entire garden is good, after all, this is the garden that the Qin family has inherited for more than 200 years. The verandah, pavilions and pavilions are already very beautiful, and there is no need to build another one at all, but to decorate it, repair it, remove the excess places, and plant some flowers and plants.

The place that spends the most money is actually a residence designed by Qin Mingyue for herself, on a small island in the middle of the lake, surrounded by water, and only one rainbow bridge can pass, which is very clean. This water pavilion was originally a building, but Qin Mingyue redecorated it according to her own wishes.

This project is relatively huge, and it is estimated that it will not be completed for a while and a half, and it will take half a year to complete it in any way.

The glazed tiles and other things needed in it were all made by Qin Mingyue's retainers. This is half saved, or 100,000 taels of silver will not be enough.

Qin Mingyue had already spoken out about this matter, and handed it over to Qin Guosong and second uncle Qin An to do it together. This is mainly because Qin Guosong has to go out with Qin Mingyue after the spring, so the follow-up projects can only be handed over to Qin An.

Qin An now realizes the benefits of being close to Qin Mingyue, not only is there someone flattering him everywhere when he goes out, he has someone to take care of him everywhere when he does business, even if the eldest daughter can have such a good family, it is also thanks to Qin Mingyue's help.

Although Qin An and the Su family are a little more selfish, they are both people who have a clear eye for thieves, so they naturally know who is prosperous and who they want to rely on.

Qin An and the Su family came over in a carriage every time they helped Qin Guosong deal with internal and external affairs, and they were very diligent.

Qin Mingyue didn't treat the two of them badly. not only let their children study in the Qin family's internal and external schools, but also assured Qin An that in the future, Qin An's sons will be successful in their studies, and they will find errands to do. As soon as he heard that his son could join the ranks, this was not to make Qin An and his family happy. You must know that although Qin An is the son-in-law of Liguo Gong, his father has not got the opportunity to enter the office, not to mention him, how can he be unhappy when he learns that his son can enter the office? And all they need to pay is to help take care of some of the general affairs of the Guogong Mansion, these things are actually done by the subordinates, they are just worrying about something, it is nothing. Naturally, they are very happy.

Seeing that the family is rarely harmonious, even the old lady An, who often finds faults, is also satisfied. I became an old feudal monarch with peace of mind.

At the time of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the ancestral hall was first opened to worship the ancestors. In the past, ancestor worship was a matter for the men of the Qin family, but this time for ancestor worship, Qin Ping and Qin An unanimously asked Qin Mingyue to participate. The reason is that Qin Mingyue is now the person with the highest official position in the Qin family. Although she is a girl, she can't think of it as an ordinary boudoir when she enters the official career.

At this point, Mrs. An agreed. However, Qin Mingyue did not agree. Just kidding, she is the future national teacher, and she takes the lead in doing such things as sacrifices, but the objects of her sacrifice are all the gods of heaven and earth, that is, the royal families of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she is not willing to sacrifice, those are the things of the princes and grandsons. Although the ancestral hall of the Qin family is full of her ancestors, she is already a person who serves the way of heaven, so naturally she will not sacrifice to the ancestors of the Qin family again.

Not to mention Qin Mingyue, even Shen Guoshi, when the festival is celebrated, it is also led by his son to sacrifice, and he rarely participates.

As soon as Qin Mingyue's reason came out, Qin Ping and Qin An immediately became dumbfounded. He can only lead the Qin family to hold a sacrifice together.

Although Qin Mingyue did not participate in the sacrifice, she specially allocated a sum of silver for the sacrifice, which not only made this year's sacrifice very rich, but also entrusted Qin Guosong to investigate the Qin family's clansmen living on the back porch in advance.

Therefore, this year, the Qin family felt warm. This kind of thing was done by all generations of Liguo Gong in the past. But when it came to the previous generation of Liguo Gong, that is, Mingyue's grandfather, he just squandered it, and he didn't care about his children, where did he care about the life and death of the clansmen.

Decades later, the clansmen felt the warmth of the clan again, and many people were moved to tears.

Qin Mingyue didn't have any feelings about this, and she didn't even want to come forward to manage it. These entertainments and care about the affairs of the clan are all left to the father, brother, and grandmother.

Qin Mingyue took advantage of this rare leisure to continue to study her Taoism.

However, because since the beginning of winter, basically every time King Qin comes to her house to sit down, or to discuss the route, or to discuss what to bring, or to discuss the information obtained by both parties, or even if there is nothing to do, Xiao Rui will come over to share some interesting things he saw with Qin Mingyue.

Now, the Chinese New Year is coming, the palace is busy, and he has no chance to come, which makes Qin Mingyue feel a little lonely.
