During the Chinese New Year, Mingqian came back, and the whole family was very happy, and this time it was better to stay longer, because after more than two months, it was the eldest son who got married. For this princess Hexin, Pearl is really curious, she asked the old lady of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, and asked her own people to investigate, and they all said that it was good, and her appearance was not bad. Think about it, the current selection of concubines is not like in the Qing Dynasty, which specifically selected the Eight Banners, but now it is okay to be good-looking, and the princesses and princes are all good-looking.

The dowry gift given by the pearl to the princess is also very visible, because it is the eldest daughter-in-law, it is natural to pay attention to it, all of them gave a pearl the size of a rose-red egg, as well as six sets of superb jewelry, and the fabric is also from their own factory, which is the best-looking. Everything is good, and the grandmother next to the princess congratulates the princess vigorously. It is said that the Ming family attaches great importance to this marriage, and many princesses and concubines came to see the things sent by them, and I don't know how many people envy them.

Princess Hexin has been educated very well since she was a child, especially after the age of ten, her father also took special care of her, let her read more, talk about etiquette, and not be arrogant. Before getting married, he called her over alone, so that she should not be disrespectful in front of her in-laws, otherwise she would not let her go if she knew, and Princess Hexin was a little frightened. returned to the harem and went to see the concubine. After hearing a lot about the Ming family, He Xin became even more nervous. Such a mother-in-law, if something is not good, the emperor will not let it go. I heard that this future mother-in-law is not only good-looking, but also both civil and military, four books and five classics, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all of which can be called everyone. When the princess thought of this, she was a little less confident.

The Ming family is still the master. Ming He took Old Man Ming, Feng and other big families came, and even Ming Youcai's family came. Now that Mingxin is an official, their family can be regarded as a change of court. The whole family has stayed, and there is nothing that cannot be lived. There are seven children in the family, how can they not be prepared! However, the old man of the Ming family and the Feng family lived in a partial house in the main courtyard, and the princess and his wife lived in the pine and bamboo garden similar to the main courtyard, and the decoration inside was very luxurious, not full of gold and jade, but the 'exquisite' two sons were used to the extreme.

Ming He and Shen arranged in the Plum Garden. Qiu and Miss Four live in the side room, and Xiao Wang and Miss Three live in a smaller courtyard. The entire mansion is designed by pearls after the best garden design in Suzhou, because in the past, the four young ladies had a dispute with their daughter, and the pearls asked the subordinates to pay more attention. The pearl saw the coral. The first thought in my mind was. It's not a hassle. The third young lady Bao'er has some heart-eyed sons. Anyway, as long as it doesn't overlook, the pearl can hold back.

There are many masters in the Ming Mansion, but there are only a lot of girls around the ladies. Then there are ten mothers-in-law who plan to garden, twenty mothers-in-law, and twenty people in the kitchen, and Pearl specially opened a small kitchen for Songzhu Garden, where the place is also the largest, enough for the princess to place her people.

Of course, the door of the Ming Mansion opened, and there were too many people who came to congratulate him, Pearl was wearing a purple red streamer brocade dress, long and dragged to the ground, and the thin waist was restrained by a cloud belt, showing a grip that did not show a hand, with a golden flower and eight treasures phoenix crown on his head, and a large colored butterfly inlaid with diamonds and gems in the back bun, the face was like a hibiscus, a pair of phoenix eyes were charming, but it was awe-inspiring, it can be said that 'there is no beauty in a thousand autumns!' Pleasing to the eye is a beauty! Alluring the country and the city! Shocking to the world! ’

The beauty of the Duchess of Mingguo is known to everyone in the capital, and now that they can see it, everyone thinks that it is not the "Yuefu Poem" who did not know who came out to describe Mrs. Ming, and now it seems that it is too appropriate.

Ming Guogong is already thirty-five or sixteen years old this year, and I heard that Mrs. Ming Guogong is four years older than Ming Guogong, isn't she almost forty years old? It's unimaginable. It seems that she is the bride of today. On days like these, the whole family has a task. Even the concubines of the Guogong Mansion came out to entertain guests, this young lady never attended the party, but often went to the palace, and now everyone can be regarded as seeing it.

Those who have seen Mrs. Ming will not mistake her daughter, Ming Wanwan looks very much like Mrs. Ming. On a day like today, the little girl is wearing a pink and purple streamer brocade skirt, with a seven-colored crystal flower crown on her head, and the rest of her hair is combed into braids and braided with pearls, which is very beautiful. There is a seven-treasure diamond-studded gold collar around his neck, and a gold-inlaid jade bracelet on his wrist.

Yu'er is about to say kiss, at this time, it is very critical, today Pearl also took special care of her, she is not the master, but a close relative, this dress has to be exquisite. He has a jadeite silver silk octopaw chrysanthemum hairpin on his head, citrine earrings, a tourmaline necklace around his neck, and a tourmaline bead chain on his wrist. She was in charge of entertaining the older girls.

Zhu'er and Wanwan are responsible for taking care of the little guests, and today Coral and Bao'er are also there, but among this group of girls, they seem to be a little inferior, they can't even understand what people say, and the girl has refreshments, they are even more panicked, knocking over the tea tray, fortunately, Zhu'er and Wanwan come forward. Besides, everyone revolves the topic around Wan Wan, although they know that Wan Wan is the master of this house, but the compliments of everyone make them envious.

Zhu'er is angry here, her aunt has prepared clothes and jewelry for them, but these two people, I don't know how to be a young lady at home, showing a small family spirit everywhere, it is really embarrassing, saying that it is her own sister, I feel ashamed, and when the banquet is finally over, Zhu'er told Yu'er about it, and Yu'er comforted her,

"They are concubines, they were sent to my aunt to learn from the status of your and my daughters, we are serious young ladies here, think about it, if it wasn't for the aunt to teach us, then we are the same as them today. Why bother disliking them, what you should be thinking about at this time is how you got where you are today. Think about our mother again, is it easy to fight with those two women at home? If it weren't for the last resort, we wouldn't have sent us here, as long as we were filial to our aunt and listened to my aunt's words, we would have good family affairs and a good life in the future. Then our mother has a status in the family, you were born late, I don't know, but I still remember what the family was like at the beginning, and now I can see my mother's hard work. No wonder my mother directly said that she gave us to my aunt. ”

The eldest son was married, and of course the pearl took out the aged wine hidden in the cellar, and everyone drank it to their heart's content, and it was not dispersed until very late. Pearl didn't care about anything else, and when she finished washing, she went to sleep. Ming Qian came back from washing, and saw his wife who had fallen asleep, with a look of pity, in his life, it was indeed a blessing to have such a wife, if he really separated from her like this back then, he would regret it for life. What is in the past, let it pass! Now the days are very good, this time I will go to the south, and I will take her with me whatever I say. The imperial doctor also said that her time is short, and for their husband and wife, every day is extremely precious.

The next day, the new daughter-in-law saw everyone, first Mingqian took the family to the princess to say goodbye, and asked the princess to sit down, and then the princess gave gifts to the elders of the family, and gave gifts, like those ordinary daughters-in-law, they were all given needles and threads, and the pearl just smiled and didn't talk much. The gift is a pair of jadeite bracelets of the dragonstone species.

At this time, Princess Hexin was really surprised to see her mother-in-law, if she hadn't inquired in advance, this was her mother-in-law, and she was able to think that this was her father-in-law's stepfamily! Steproom, isn't this cursing your mother-in-law to death? This is a big rebellion, and Xin is more kind, and then I have seen a few younger brothers and a baby sister, seeing this Wan Wan, and Xin confirmed, that is the mother-in-law, this is the sister-in-law, gave the sister-in-law a mutton fat jade rabbit piece, Wan Wan thanked him, but did not show much surprise.

Pearl looked at Princess Hexin, and then looked at her son, it was really a good match, seeing that the blush on the faces of the two people had not dissipated, she knew that the husband and wife got along well.

Old Man Ming and Feng have both met the princess, and they are their great-grandson daughter-in-law, and their family can also have a family tree, which is a great thing! It's not okay to be excited, autumn is Huaiyi's wedding, and they won't go back until after that time. I'm staying in the capital for the time being.

On the same day, they met the relatives of the Ming family, and the next day, Pearl handed over the account books in the mansion to the princess, telling the princess that these were their property, that is, the antique calligraphy and paintings, fabrics, jewelry and the 3 million taels of silver in the treasury belonged to their husband and wife. Because the mother-in-law said very clearly, the other sons will have such a family background, and there is no need to divide them. In their Ming family, everyone is the same. Only the sister-in-law is different, her dowry will be a lot, but because she is the only daughter, the youngest child of Ming Guogong and his wife, it is normal to have a lot of dowry.

However, Pearl also told the princess that the people in the house are not her people, and if necessary, she can cultivate it slowly, because the people in the house now will be distributed to other sons in the future. At the beginning, Princess Hexin was still a little happy, but when she went back, when she told Mama, Mama said that the princess had made a big mistake. It is a well-known thing that the Duchess of Mingguo is rich, and the people under her are all capable and useful, so she is only divided among her sons, and she is stupid. He Xin also regretted it.

Look at the account book, in addition to the warehouse and mansion in the mansion, they were also given a textile factory, but it must be after the death of Pearl, now Pearl will give the princess 100,000 taels of silver every year for her family, a cosmetics factory, and a soap factory are considered to be given to them. When they saw the ledger, the people who came taught them how to read the ledger with Arabic numerals, and Princess Hexin was simply stunned. I didn't expect to have such an income every year!
