Qin Mingyue and the eldest brother talked about housework for a while, and there was a will in the palace, and the two brothers and sisters were busy taking the order. It turned out to be the will of Xuan Qin Mingyue to enter the palace tomorrow.

Qin Mingyue sent the palace envoy away. I went to the family dinner.

Now, the Qin family has restored the luxury of the Guogong Mansion, and the family banquet is divided into several tables, which was originally intended to be separated from men and women, but because of Qin Mingyue's special status, this time the family banquet was ingenious, and the screen was deliberately removed, and everyone sat together as a family.

Of course, the concubine and the concubine are still treated differently, and the concubine cannot enter the main table.

Qin Mingyue and her brother sat at the main table of her grandmother and parents. Qin Guotan, Qin Guoliu, Qin Mingzhu, Qin Minghuan and Shi Niang and several other concubines made a table. Aunties are not eligible to participate.

The third table is Qin Kang's family.

When Qin Mingyue arrived, everyone had already arrived. Qin Mingyue directly greeted the elders and said, "It's really a sin for me to be late because I received the holy decree, and my grandmother was tired of waiting for a long time. ”

Mrs. An is now a kind old lady who loves her granddaughter very much, she smiled and helped Qin Mingyue up and said, "Of course, it is important to take state affairs as the priority." I don't know what the holy decree is at this time? ”

Qin Mingyue said: "It's not a holy decree, it's just an edict from the emperor announcing that I will enter the palace tomorrow." ”

Qin Ping said: "You followed King Qin to Ba Province, so many things happened along the way, King Qin went to the palace today to report on his work, but you haven't gone yet, just come back to rest." Tomorrow, of course, I will go to see the emperor to take up his post. That's as it should be. You must be diligent in the king's business. You don't have to worry about it at home. Your eldest brother is well managed. ”

Qin Mingyue said: "Big brother has worked hard. Let's sit down and eat. ”

Su Shi hurriedly asked people to serve the food, and the banquet began.

Now that the national mourning has passed, everyone is wearing red and green, gold and silver, beads and greenery, a rich scene.

The meals are also very rich, flying in the sky, swimming in the water, everything. The taste is also very good. Qin Mingyue said: "This meal tastes good, it doesn't look like the chef I used to call the star picking house made it." ”

Su Shi hurriedly said: "This is the meal that Mingyue sent from the Fang family of the Internal Affairs Department in the past, and this taste is good." In the past, I ate the food made by the chef who came out of the Star Building in the mansion, and I already felt very good. Now, eating the food made by the Fang family, it is even more delicious. It's a lot of light with the bright moon. ”

Seeing that Su Shi was so able to speak kindly, Qin Mingyue just smiled slightly and said, "Dongqu, today's big kitchen has a red reward." ”

Winter koji should come down in a hurry.

Everyone smiled and flattered Qin Mingyue, some praised Qin Mingyue for being generous, treated his subordinates well, praised Qin Mingyue for being more beautiful, and praised Qin Mingyue's hard work.

Qin Guotan had been drinking sullenly and ignored anyone. However, the expression on Qin Mingzhu's face became more and more unpleasant. In the past, at the family banquet, the family was holding her. But now, she can't sit on the main seat, and she has to watch everyone talk to Qin Mingyue, and her heart is becoming more and more unhappy.

However, think about it, I will get married after the beginning of spring, and the family I married is still the powerful Pingnan Hou Niu family. In the future, she will be the daughter-in-law of the Niu family. Although she is the daughter-in-law of the second son, she cannot inherit the title, but she is also supremely glorious. The Niu family often enters the palace. In the future, she is also one of the nobles in the capital, can she not be happy?

Compared with her own Qin family, she wants to marry earlier, after all, at home, she has no power, just an inconspicuous concubine, the oldest, but when she comes to the Niu family in the future, she is a noblewoman in the capital, can she do it?

Thinking about it, when she gets married, she will already be twenty years old, and she is really an old girl. Qin Mingzhu was angry.

Seeing Qin Mingyue surrounded by everyone, she was even more unhappy, and couldn't help but say, "Mingyue, we have all received the gifts you gave us in the afternoon. Thank you, sister. That Shu brocade is really beautiful. There are also Shu brocades sold in the capital, but the patterns can't be compared with the ones you bring back. It can be seen that this trip out of Beijing is ten thousand taels of gold, and it is not wrong at all. ”

Although Qin Mingzhu said this with a smile, as soon as the words came out, the smiles on everyone's faces froze. What does that mean? Did you say that Qin Mingyue went out of the capital to embezzle and take bribes?

Qin Ping's face immediately fell, although he had never been out of office in his life, he was also the heir raised by the family, and he still understood the powerful relationship. If these words are known to the imperial historian and impeach Qin Mingyue, wouldn't this be to shake the foundation of the Qin family?

Qin Ping felt strange, he had always thought that Qin Mingzhu was smart, beautiful, and a good daughter to be proud of, why did he look so stupid now?

Qin Ping said in a deep voice: "You are a girl who doesn't leave the boudoir, what do you know?" Where did you hear the village dialect and speak it here? How did your upbringing grandmother teach you on a day-to-day basis? ”

Mrs. An is very satisfied with her current life. Although the candidate for the prince is not Qin Guotan, who she has cultivated since childhood. However, after Qin Guosong became the prince, she never lacked her food and clothing, which was the top enjoyment. Mrs. An has worked hard for most of her life, and now she enjoys the glory that the Duchess of the Kingdom should have, where would she be willing to destroy such a life? She was even more dissatisfied with Qin Mingzhu. Don't you understand where the glory of the Qin family comes from now? Is it all brought by Qin Mingyue? This Qin Mingzhu is really a beautiful face, the belly of a stupid pig.

Mrs. An said, "Mingzhu, it seems that your upbringing is not good. I'm going to get married after this year. Going out like this, wouldn't it make people laugh at my Qin family's inability to raise their daughter? Well, you don't want to continue eating. Let the maid take you back to your yard and copy the women's precepts, the women's precepts fifty times, and if you can't finish copying them, you are not allowed to go out. ”

Qin Mingzhu looked aggrieved, she just said a word, and she provoked her father and grandmother to scold and punish her. You're too biased, aren't you?

But before she could refute, a maid forcibly took her away.

Seeing such a scene, her sister-in-law Qin Minghuan was shrewd, and hurriedly raised her glass and said: "The second sister is diligent and diligent, she is a heroine among women, for us women, for my Qin family women to win glory, the little sister admires it very much, and I salute the second sister with a glass." ”

That's a good thing to say. Qin Ping and Old Madam An both looked at Qin Minghuan with satisfaction and smiled.

Qin Mingyue raised her wine glass and drank it and said: "The third sister should also study well with Mama and Mr. Female, a young lady like us who comes out of a big family, has the same rules and upbringing, and the same knowledge." In the future, you will know the importance of learning this. ”

For Qin Mingyue to educate Qin Minghuan as an elder sister, everyone felt very friendly and watched happily.
