When she arrived at the Qin family, Qin Mingyue saw that her father, Qin Ping, the old prince of Liguo, was also there, but he hadn't seen him for two years, and he was a lot older. With white temples and wrinkled faces, he doesn't look like a man in his fifties at all, but like an old man in his seventies.

Qin Mingyue thought of the appearance of seeing her father in the capital two years ago, although he was also old, but it was not as serious as it is now. She couldn't help but frown.

Then I saw my grandmother, Mrs. An. Although Mrs. An is also very old, she is in good spirits, thanks to the elixir that Qin Mingyue sent back from time to time.

Seeing Mrs. Yin again, she is also in her fifties, but she looks fair-skinned,, not like a fifty-year-old person, but like a woman in her thirties and forties. She is full of pearls, wearing silk clothes, dressed dignified and gorgeous, over the years, often in and out of banquets, every time she is held by the noble, but she has raised the aura of the superior. Mrs. Yin and her husband Qin Ping stood together, not like husband and wife, but with the feeling of father and daughter.

In addition to his own family, there are also the third brother Qin Guoliu's family, the fourth brother Qin Guoyang's family, the second uncle Qin Kang's family, Qin Minghuan's family, Qin Mingruo's family, Qin Shiniang's family, Qin Shiniang's family, Qin Shiniang's family, Qin Twelve's family, and Qin Mingyue's two sisters-in-law, Qin Sanniang's family, and Qin Liuniang's family. In addition, there is the seventh uncle Qin Kang's family and Qin Guoliang's family. There are also several clan elders in the Qin family, all of them, standing on the ground.

Qin Mingyue saw her mother, whose life was becoming more and more nourishing, and then looked at her old father, she couldn't help sighing, and made a family salute, kowtowing to her parents and grandmother. Xiao Anfu was also held by the nurse and saluted, and Xiao Rui also saluted. Mrs. An and Qin Ping hurriedly called the maids to help them up.

Mrs. Yin misses her daughter the most, over the years, she has enjoyed the blessings of her children, living like an old feudal monarch, with a respected status, doing whatever she wants, powerful, rich, surrounded by children and grandchildren, not to mention how comfortable. This is in stark contrast to the first half of her life. Mrs. Yin was even more grateful for the blessings her daughter had brought her.

Mrs. Yin hurriedly helped Qin Mingyue up, looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction: "Mingyue, you can be regarded as back." Just come back. I think you're doing well. It can be seen that Mama Liao is attentive. It's also a shame that the prince took good care of you. ”

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "My mother-in-law has won the prize." ”

Mrs. Yin saw An Fu held by the nurse again, and she was even more happy, and called her over to hold it herself, and couldn't put it down: "Oh, look at our little county lord, this Yuxue is cute." It's even better looking than Mingyue when she was a child. Well, there is also a shadow of Mingyue when she was a child. However, this skin, this eyebrow and eye are more refined. ”

Qin Mingyue smiled and said, "Look at my mother, with Anfu, she pushed me aside." ”

Everyone laughed.

The family talked and laughed, and after a while, at lunchtime, Xiao Rui went to the front hall to eat with Qin Guosong, Qin Ping, the Qin family, and the sons-in-law of the Qin family. Qin Mingyue and her grandmother, mother, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and sisters also had four or five tables to eat together. The banquet was placed in the garden, and the small troupe raised by the family was called to come over and sing the music.

After eating, Xiao Rui resigned and went to the military department.

Qin Mingyue was also tired, Zeng Yutong hurriedly asked Qin Mingyue to return to her Piaoxiang Courtyard to live, and settle Anfu there. Qin Mingyue and many female dependents said goodbye and went to rest.

When she arrived at Piaoxiang Courtyard, Qin Mingyue left Zeng Yutong to speak: "Sister-in-law, our family is becoming more and more prosperous, and the burden on your shoulders is getting heavier and heavier. ”

Zeng Yutong said with a smile: "Fortunately, in the past few years, my two younger brothers and daughters-in-law have helped me a lot. The third brother's daughter-in-law, Wei Shuzhen, is capable and shrewd, and the fourth brother's daughter-in-law, Yu Shuilian, is also a good hand, helping me manage the affairs of the clan, the family, and the elderly, so I have a little energy to manage the business. Now, your eldest brother is also busy, he has a lot of things in the Ministry of Industry, and he can't take care of the family, and the third brother is in charge of the inside and outside of the family. Since the fourth brother was admitted to the Jinshi, he went to the Hanlin Academy, but he was not busy, and he helped the third brother for a year or two, but in the past two years, he went to the Ministry of Rites, and there were many things, and everything was thrown to the third brother. I think the third brother is too hard, so let Da Lang Shengliang follow the third brother to learn to raise his eyebrows and low his eyes, and I can get started after watching it for two years. ”

Qin Mingyue nodded and said, "Sister-in-law is right to take precautions. The tree is divided into branches, and our family is prosperous, and we will all divide it in the future. Look at the second brother, he and his second sister-in-law are now the presidents of the Jin Merchants Alliance in Jin Province. Our Qin family can be regarded as having a foothold in Jin Province. The third brother has been detained in the capital for so many years, and he has worked hard, and it is not good to continue like this. After two years, when Shengliang is older, you let the fifth brother and the sixth brother give Shengliang a hand, and I will call the third brother, and the fourth brother will go out of the capital and let them go. ”

"The third brother already has the five qualities of grace given by the emperor. As soon as he is released, he is the prefect and manages the affairs of a house, and it will be better for his children to talk about his relatives in the future. He can also work out. The fourth brother is even better. He was born as a serious Jinshi, and he stayed in the Hanlin Academy in the capital, and he was in the Ministry of Rites, and once he was released, he should also be a five-rank official. With more experience, you can be of great use in the future, and in the future, the third and fourth brothers are in the court, and the eldest brother can also be more relaxed. ”

Zeng Yutong was born in a noble family, so she naturally understood this, she said: "Master Guoshi, what you are thinking about is that your eldest brother and I also plan to do the same. Fortunately, the fifth brother and the sixth brother are getting older and older, although they are not from a good background, but they were all raised by me and your eldest brother, the quality is okay, and they are also smart and sensible, there are a few of them to Shengliang as helpers, after two years, Shengsen is also older, and he can also get started, but there is no need to worry about foreign affairs in the house. ”

"Even inside, don't worry, in the future, after the third brother and daughter-in-law and the fourth brother and daughter-in-law are released, although Shengliang has not yet married, but the fourth sister and the fifth sister in the house have grown up, and two years earlier, I taught them to manage their own small yard. If you bring it again in the past two years, you will be able to be my helper in the future, and you can learn it, so that after you get married, you won't be in a hurry. ”

Qin Mingyue said: "My sister-in-law arranged everything well. I'm not worried. Hey, on my father's side, there are children born every year? However, I see that my father has become more and more old in recent years. You are also in charge of the affairs of Zhuangzi, right? How's it going? ”

As soon as he mentioned this father-in-law, Zeng Yutong couldn't control his unhappiness, but fortunately, his father-in-law moved out of the city in his early years, and if he lived in a mansion, the concubine in this courtyard could also annoy her to death.
