Chapter 117: The Worried Mother-in-law
Qin Minghuan hurriedly said: "I know these things now. I worked hard to complete the tasks assigned by my husband. It's just that I'm too stupid to become a talented girl, so I can barely keep up. I also often participate in the poetry meetings of the ladies in Beijing, although I have not won the first prize, but I have not been at the bottom. finally didn't embarrass the second sister. ”
For Qin Minghuan, Mrs. An is still very satisfied, she said: "Minghuan is really good, at a young age, he has already established a place in the beauties of the capital. Mingyue, you have to reward her well. ”
For this granddaughter who she didn't attach much importance to before, she had other arrangements, so now she still loves Qin Minghuan very much.
Qin Mingyue, who sensed this sensitively, pressed the doubt in her heart, smiled and nodded, and said, "The third sister is indeed doing a good job. Dongqu, take out the pair of Shixin pearls from the brocade building I took yesterday and give them to the third sister. ”
Qin Minghuan hurriedly smiled and thanked him. Everyone had a good time.
After the meal, Qin Mingyue went to the Yin family room and sat for a while. Mrs. Yin is now more and more satisfied with her daughter. Thinking about the previous life, and then looking at the current life, Mrs. Yin sometimes wakes up with a smile when she sleeps.
Nowadays, her status is very high, even if she enters the palace, the ladies in the palace are very polite. It's like the Queen Mother. Wherever she goes, she is the most noble person, originally, the status of the daughter of Shen Guoshi's family should be as high as her, but Shen Guoshi's wife has passed away. The highest status of the Shen family is now the eldest lady of the Shen family, and she is Qin Mingyue's sister-in-law in terms of seniority. When you meet Mrs. Yin, you should also respect Mrs. Yin as an elder.
Mrs. Yin couldn't have been happier. However, the days are happy, just the outside is happy. Back home, she still hasn't had a good life.
The powerful son of Zhongfeng firmly grasped it and didn't let her take care of it. Well, she didn't like to manage these in the first place, but her son was also biological, and she gave it to her son and daughter, but it was much better than her mother-in-law.
Mrs. Yin used to like to feed the powerful, thinking that she wanted to make money. Now, Mrs. Yin wears gold and silver, what is easy to use, and naturally her desire for money is not so strong.
I don't have to manage housework, and I can still have good things to enjoy, which is a good life. However, the husband is not worried. Qin Ping still always favors the concubines. In the past, the Qin family was relatively poor, and the husband only had so many concubines, but now, the concubines are very obedient to be cleaned up by their sons and daughters, but the number has increased.
Seeing a bewitching yard of beauties in the backyard, which woman can not block her heart?
Therefore, Madame Yin is even more keen to go out to the banquet. That's where she finds her self-confidence.
Although there are unsatisfactory places at home, however, Mrs. Yin is a relatively easy person to be content, she quickly adjusted herself, she is the one who wants to call her daughter-in-law, why do you care about her husband's favor? It's good to live your life well.
Of course, who gives the current life? Mrs. Yin is not stupid, this good life is given by her daughter who is not valued by her. She knows this very well. Therefore, he became more and more good to Qin Mingyue.
Qin Mingyue saw her radiant mother, smiled and said, "Mother, how about the Shu brocade and jewelry I asked people to send you?" ”
Mrs. Yin smiled and said, "The things you give have always been the best, where is the bad one?" It's just that I'm an old woman, and I'm going to marry a daughter-in-law, where can I use so much Shu brocade, but you gave me fifty Shu brocades. I'll never be able to finish it in my life. ”
Qin Mingyue said: "Mother makes more clothes to wear. Mother take good care of it, it is very beautiful, and those Shu brocades are just right for mother. However, if you can't use it up, you can also use it to reward people. When the sister-in-law entered the door, the mother was rewarded with a difference of five across the mountain, which could make the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law more harmonious. ”
Mrs. Yin said: "Your future sister-in-law, her mother's family is rich, and the dowry list was sent in advance, and I couldn't speak for a long time." The clothes worn, silk satin, tribute satin, Shu brocade, silk makeup, everything. All the furniture is Huanghuali, and there are as many as three thousand beds. ”
"And the jewelry, which is five pages long. They are all cherished objects. There are also the fields and shops, all of which are around the capital, and the shops are also from West Street and East Street. Just these, your sister-in-law entered our house, and it is estimated that it will not cost us for the rest of her life. ”
"What other rare books, antique calligraphy and paintings, I will do a rough calculation, how can there be a dowry of one hundred and twenty lifts. said that it was ten miles of red makeup, which is really not false at all. ”
"Your father and brother looked at it and said that these things prepared by the Zeng family will cost 200,000 taels of silver. Isn't this more powerful than a princess getting married? You see that she has everything, and she is so rich, what should I reward her? What else do people don't have? ”
Qin Mingyue laughed: "Mother, you filtered. No matter how much she has, it is also hers, and it is also your heart as a mother-in-law that you reward her with a stitch and a thread. She'll be grateful, too. Sister-in-law, I've known each other before. People are extremely crisp and crisp. Kind-hearted, capable and filial. Mother, as long as you have a good relationship with your sister-in-law and love her like a daughter, she will honor you. ”
When Madame Yin heard this, she calmed down and said, "You should have come back a long time ago. If you don't come back, I don't have the bottom of my heart. When I marry someone like that, I can't sleep all day and night, and I'm a little worried. After listening to what you said, I am much more down-to-earth. ”
Qin Mingyue said: "Everyone is an unmarried daughter, thinking about getting married, I don't know if my mother-in-law gets along well, and I can't sleep because I'm afraid." Where is there a mother-in-law who is afraid and can't sleep? ”
Mrs. Yin thought about it, and it was the same reason. Today, the Qin family is not the Qin family of the past, and the Qin family is already the number one family in the Great Zhou. Rich people like the Zeng family, don't they also have to catch up with the Qin family? The sons of the Zeng family all do things under their own daughters.
Mrs. Yin is in a better mood.
Qin Mingyue accompanied her mother and said something to her mother: "The precious Shu brocade and silk silk I gave to my mother, my mother can't wear them all, remember to give them to my future sister-in-law, aunts at home, and go out to make friends and reward others." Things are spent, which can be exchanged for greater benefits, which is good for the future of the eldest brother. ”
"Also, didn't I ask someone to send some of the latest jewelry created by the Jinlou? Those precious jewelry, my mother kept for her own use, and she could also use it to add makeup to relatives and friends in the future, and give it to her sister-in-law. As for those jewelry that are inlaid with fine gemstones and pearls that are beautiful but not of high value, they are given as gifts when they go out. It may also be given to servants who serve faithfully. In this way, mothers can be respected by more people. ”
