Chapter Forty-Seven: Teaching Mama
Qin Ping originally liked those daughters who came out of the house, and he was also worried about their relatives. However, they are not high or low, and the Qin family does not have a large dowry for them. The Qin family itself has faded out of the circle of power, and wants to marry a wealthy family, how can people look at it.
It was his daughter's words that reminded him.
Although Qin Ping is gentle, after all, he grew up as the heir of the Duke of Liguo, first as a son, and later as the Duke of Liguo. Born in a family of generations of princes, although he is far away from the circle of power, this insight is still there. Therefore, Qin Ping deeply understands that a family, especially the noble family, first needs a large number of male talents in the family, who can enter the court as officials and grasp power.
If you can't, you can only rely on marrying a few beautiful daughters to the house of the powerful, or even sending your daughters to the palace to be favored, so as to gain the support of the powerful or the emperor.
At present, in the Liguo Mansion, Qin Ping thinks that there is no drama for the men. His old man has always only had those few concubines in his eyes, and he is used to ignoring his sons-in-law and daughters-in-law. Although he is partial to the concubines, he is not stupid, and several concubines not only lack talent and vision, but because of the embarrassment of the Duke of Liguo, even the knowledge, he has not asked anyone to teach, so naturally there can be no great development.
In this case, you can only pin your hopes on the daughters of the Guogong Mansion. First of all, it is the daughter Qin Mingyue in front of him.
Qin Ping didn't have an idea on Qin Mingyue before, but not long ago, he was thinking about marrying his daughter to the Hou family of Jinyang in exchange for a dowry of 100,000 taels of silver. It's a pity that Qin Mingyue has entered the circle of power because she has become a disciple of the national teacher, and her marriage is no longer something that a small national mansion can decide.
Qin Ping once sighed for a while for this. Now, Mingyue's words suddenly opened his mouth. Why are you so stupid? The concubine can't take care of it herself, but she still has a few beautiful daughters, and even two sisters. These are all great resources. If you marry into a powerful family, how much benefit can it bring to the Liguo Mansion?
Qin Ping's eyes were shining. Although he doted on his daughters, he loved himself even more. So he immediately said: "Mingyue, what you said is very true, my father has been busy with affairs recently, and he has forgotten about this matter. Your mother is really, she didn't worry about such a big thing early, and she didn't fulfill her responsibilities as a grandmother. I also want my daughter to remind. ”
Mrs. Yin saw that her husband had burned the fire to herself, and although she was infinitely aggrieved, she didn't dare to say anything. She wanted to do her mother's duty. However, in the Liguo Mansion, whether it is the concubines or the children of the concubines, who treats her as a mother-in-law? Who cares about her? Besides, the rights of the housekeeper, the silver is in the hands of the old lady, she has no silver, how can she ask the husband to teach the daughter of the concubine?
However, Qin Ping's prestige is already very deep, and although Mrs. Yin is aggrieved, she doesn't dare to say anything.
Qin Ping said again: "Mingyue, when you go out for a while, please leave Mama Ma behind, and I will personally arrange for your sisters and two aunts to receive Mama Ma's teaching first." Let's learn the rules and etiquette first, housekeepers and the like. As for the female gentleman who learns piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it is really difficult to find, you can use the person who picks the star tower to find it first. There's no hurry. In addition, daughter, you are now in a high status, and I think you will soon be able to receive invitations to various banquets from the powerful families in the capital. When the time comes, you must remember to bring your sisters and aunts to show them more opportunities to show up, so that it will be beneficial to their marriage. ”
Qin Ping still knows a lot about the way of choosing a wife for the powerful and noble families in the capital.
Qin Mingyue had long expected her father to say this, so she agreed very meekly. Then, she said that she was going to pick up the star tower in a hurry. Qin Ping hurriedly told Qin Mingyue to hurry up and not delay his study errand.
Qin Mingyue left the Liguo Mansion and sat in a very beautiful carriage, which was not only spacious, but also had a set of tools, and Xia Ming was waiting for him. took out a pot of tea that had been boiled from the stove and poured the tea for Qin Mingyue to drink. Such a good carriage is not something that the Liguo Mansion can take out. This is what the Star Picking Tower equipped for Qin Mingyue.
Qin Mingyue sat in a very stable carriage, drinking warm tea, this is the top snow bud, and it is also the tea leaves of the Star Tower.
Qin Mingyue couldn't help but laugh when she thought of her arrogant sisters, who were about to accept Mama Ma's special "care". wants to sue her in front of her father, do you still think that she is the Qin Mingyue who was bullied by them in her previous life?
Qin Mingyue has been honing in the court for more than ten years, as long as she makes a move, she will inevitably hit. It's okay to deal with those treacherous and cunning ministers in the court, let alone deal with a few uninformed concubines? It's really a victory.
Qin Mingyue went to the Star Picking Building to study and deal with official business in a comfortable mood.
There was a sigh in the Liguo Mansion. Qin Mingzhu's bright pretty face was full of disbelief at the moment: "Daddy, what did you say?" Do you want me to learn the rules from Mama Mama's old captive woman? Daddy, don't you know that a few days ago, she beat her aunt and bullied her daughter? Now if my sister wants to follow her to learn the rules, will we still have a life? ”
Qin Ping's originally happy face suddenly darkened: "Look at what you said, no wonder your sister said that you should learn rules and etiquette." Does this look like a young lady from a prince's family? Speak so roughly, the old captive is what you say when a girl who hasn't been out of the cabinet? ”
Qin Mingzhu knew that she had said the wrong thing in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "My daughter is wrong." But, father, we sisters just need to learn etiquette, and we also need to find a good teacher to teach our mothers, where can we learn from a slave? Say it and not be laughed at? ”
Qin Ping immediately said, "How can you be a slave?" Mama Ma was born in the palace, she was originally a grandmother in the palace, and now she is working in the Star Picking Tower. If such qualifications are outside, there are more princesses who invite her to be a teaching grandmother at home. In a noble family like us, which young lady didn't invite the retired grandmothers in the palace to teach the rules? Although these grandmothers have ranks, they are also servants who serve the royal family. But can we say that people are slaves? That's the royal people, and we can despise them? You're really going to have to learn the rules. Otherwise, don't say you're married, just don't get into trouble for me when you go out. ”
Qin Mingzhu was dumbfounded.
