Chapter 109: A Family Reunion
Pearl is very cautious in employing people, Liu Xuan brothers and sisters, because they are the family members of criminal officials, they can't have any other way out in their lives, even if they are ordinary farmers and businessmen, it is very difficult for them. will be monitored and discriminated against. So they follow the pearl is the best choice.
As for the other guards, each of them has information here in Pearl, and they all have something to ask for Pearl. The pearls meet their conditions, and then they use them for themselves. Usually pearls are not used by them much, but once pearls give orders, they will definitely act without suspicion, which is why pearls do not always appear in Zhuangzi, but business is running normally. They are nominally guards, but in reality they are also secret guards and spying agents.
The accounts were soon clear, and Pearl was relieved, and once someone betrayed, it was also very difficult to clean up the mess. Pearl has already started to pack her bags. Because Pearl began to take care of Yu'er and Zhu'er, when their physical conditions permitted, Pearl gave them several vaccinations, not to mention her own son, nothing was left behind. Now that her son would turn over and start drinking juice, Pearl felt that the carriage could still cope with it if it went faster.
The people of the mother's family also came to accompany Pearl for a month, and once Erniu's son Bai Jishi fell ill, and Pearl quickly controlled the condition, which made Erniu firmly believe that reading more books can save her child at a critical time. Her motivation to learn is even greater. Pearl also saw Sanniu, Sanniu's dim sum shop opened well, all opened to Zhuozhou, of course, there is also the support of Pearl behind it, but for an unmarried little girl, it is also very powerful, beautiful and moving, organized, ideal and dare to realize, there are not many such good girls. Pearl thinks that she can find a better home for her by bringing her sister to the capital.
News soon came from the Ming family, and they completely agreed with Pearl to go over, and said that they would wait for the right time. They will also go to the capital. and brought 100 taels of silver to the pearls. And let Pearl bring Mingzhen'er, Yu'er and Zhu'er over, as well as Sanniu. Pearls would rather they not give money.
Along the way, there were guards to escort them, and they arranged food and accommodation first, which made them arrive in the capital quickly. Came to the long-lost capital. Pearls really feel good! She was alone when she left, and now she has an extra pillow person and two children. Of course, there are also sisters, apprentices and two nieces around me.
Pearl took the group to his home, and when he saw the plaque at the door that said Ming Mansion, Pearl smiled very happily. Liu Xuan brought his subordinates to greet Pearl. This time, the pearl light car is simple, and people have already sent all the things that can be used and commonly used in advance. Now, everyone is tired, and Pearl hurriedly arranges for everyone to go to bed.
However, as the hostess, Pearl was not so easy, and with the addition of people later, there were now sixteen servants and twenty guards in the entire mansion. Because there are a lot of people. Pearl had to pay a high price to buy the house next door and expand it.
Pearl met two nurses first, they were bought from the capital, and their home was outside the house. One surnamed Zhong, both called her Sister-in-law Zhong, and the other surnamed Min, called Sister-in-law Min, both of them cleaned up very cleanly, Pearl asked the two of them to take care of Yu'er and Zhu'er, and she and Sister-in-law Chen had three girls to take care of their two sons. Mingqian had a little servant Qiao Pile waiting, and Sister-in-law Chen's man went to see the door. The original servant looked at the carriage. Others do cleaning and kitchen work.
Next to Ming Zhen'er and Sanniu, Pearl each put two twelve or thirteen-year-old girls, let Liu Zi train them first, and then divide them when it's almost over. Four girls. The pearl has a very nice name, Zhuyun, Curly Blue, Sunset, Shuwan. Because they are all ten to thirteen years old, it is still easy to learn some kung fu and rules with Liu Zi.
Ming Qian came back that night, and he didn't take off his official uniform. rushed into the house and saw Pearl holding his eldest son to learn words, and Ming Qian was stunned.
"When did you arrive?" Ming Qian was a little cramped, obviously he hadn't seen him for so long, and his wife's demeanor was still the same, which made him a little uncomfortable, of course, it had something to do with not having a woman for so long.
"It's noon, Huairen, this is Dad, remember?"
"Remember, Daddy." As he spoke, he threw the pen and reached over with both hands for his father to hug. Pearl felt that his son would definitely be a traitor when he became an official in the future, and he didn't remember his father at all, although Pearl also showed his son a portrait, but this kid was not interested at all, and he smiled at whoever gave benefits.
Ming Qian didn't know that his son was so unconscionable, the two-year-old child knew how to write, this was definitely like him.
Pearl hurriedly asked people to serve food, handed Huairen to Sister-in-law Chen, and asked Liu Zi and others to wake up and hug Huaiyi.
Pearl waited for her husband to change his clothes, and the two of them waited for Sanniu, Ming Zhen'er, and Yu'er sisters to come over.
With such a large family coming, Ming Qian felt very happy, and drank a few drinks in the evening. When I finished eating, I happened to see my second son. After meeting, Ming Qian has no resentment, who doesn't like such a white and chubby son?
In the evening, the children were sent away, and the husband and wife took a mandarin duck bath in the newly repaired bathroom, of course, the process was very hot, and when they came out, Pearl felt more tired than a day's ride. Lying on the kang, the husband and wife have time to talk about some common things.
Ming Qian is very busy every day, taking a day off for half a month, and his current official position is the editor of the Hanlin Academy, a seven-rank official. After three years, the museum was disbanded, and Mingqian planned to release it as a county order, which was all planned by Mingqian. Pearl also expressed his support that only by being the head of a county can he be familiar with government affairs from the fastest and most detailed. Only such an official who has been promoted step by step can be more stable in doing things, and will not be easily taken advantage of.
Pearl was very tired, and fell asleep while talking, and in the middle of the night, Mingqian continued to toss his daughter-in-law when he had rested enough, Pearl didn't rest well, and was just about to close his eyes, and it was almost dawn, and this guy had already gotten up to get dressed and washed. Before leaving, he took a pearl to give him a tongkat ali pill, this thing can replenish energy, pearl also eaten, and also took birth control pills, no way, too dangerous, now the child is still young, his energy is limited, he has to use contraception.
Pearl got up late in the morning, and when she got up, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning, Pearl got up quickly, ate some snacks, and went to see her sons, accompanied her son to learn to read, and then went to see Sanniu and Ming Zhen'er's schoolwork.
Pearl has to have a good rest today, and sent someone to hand over the post, so that he will take his sister to visit the old lady of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion tomorrow.
Ming Qian also went to the Hou Mansion, but because he belonged to the Qingliu faction, he didn't have too much contact with the nobles, and after all the officials became officials, he only visited the Hou Mansion once.
This time Pearl took her sister to the Hou Mansion, and the two sisters got up early, fortunately Ming Qian knew that she was going to do business today last night, and this time she spared Pearl, otherwise she would have to be like last night.
Pearl and Sanniu came to the Hou Mansion in a carriage, and under the leadership of the subordinates, they went to the second gate, where Pearl saw the big girl of the Hou Mansion who she had trained herself.
"My sister has arrived, and the old lady has been talking for a long time, no, let me wait for you here!"
"It's not ours, I would have handed over the post if I had known, and it would be good to surprise the old lady!" Pearl said with a smile,
Mingzhu saw the girl behind the pearl and asked, "Is this your sister?" ”
"This is my third sister, called Sanniu, Sanniu, this is Sister Mingzhu."
Sanniu gave Mingzhu a very generous salute, but Mingzhu quickly helped her up, "I can't afford it, sister, come with me." ”
Today, the pearl and the three girls are dressed up, the pearl sisters are wearing silk embroidered skirts, with jade ornaments on their heads, and the pearl's gown is yellow-green with dark green edges and dark green skirts. Pearl thinks these two colors are good-looking, made a muslin cloth, this is not, and made a silk one, the pearl embroidered the pattern herself, and the design of the waist is very annoying.
Sanniu wore a moon-white gauze skirt today, with peach blossoms embroidered on the skirt, a jade head on her head, and a pair of red agate bracelets on her wrists, which looked snow-white. (To be continued.) )
