Chapter 259: Ming Qian's marriage
Qin Hui is an old fritter, he is not good at this mouthful, even if someone sends it, it is thrown aside, and it is released at the right time, everyone is used to seeing it, and he will not send it, and now I heard that he is very fond of the steproom now, and no one will make such a stupid mistake again, you must know that the women in the backyard have all seen pearls, and the news from the inquiry also made those who have a heart give up, because the ladies came back and said that the little lady of the governor is stunning, and she is a talented woman, dressed up, talking and behaving, there is nothing that is not eye-catching. Coupled with the identity of this main house, if you want to find someone who can take such a favor, it is better to take the lady route!
Now it can be regarded as a grade, although occasionally I will go to the kitchen, but more often I still point out, saying that I want to eat shrimp dumplings, this kitchen will be tossed for a long time because of a shrimp dumpling, and it will always wait for the pearl to say that it is satisfied, and they will stop there, and they will also write down the taste of her master, what she wants, it is also a matter of one sentence, and the following people will do it. This is the advantage of having more minions, of course, there are also disadvantages, that is, there is no way to rely on space to smuggle things as often as in the past. But let's be honest, once something is collected to a limit, there is not so much momentum.
The weather is cold, and it is not a warm place in the yamen, especially where Qin Hui works, because there are documents in the house, and there is rarely a fire. Pearl is rich, and she can't bear to see her husband freeze, so she directly drew the design of the heating, let people do it, and within a few days, she installed heating in the second hall, living room, study and file room of the governor's yamen, doesn't it mean that you can't make a fire in the house? Heating is always okay, right? Although lobbyists do not repair shops. The official does not repair the government, but with this little money, the pearl is really not reluctant. My bedroom, study and bathroom have also been renovated, which doesn't cost a lot of money. It was also comfortable to stay.
knew that his wife had done this, and he hadn't asked him, but Qin Hui was still very generous, because as his wife, on the premise of not interfering in any serious matters with him, she felt sorry for his husband and posted so much money. At noon, I also asked people to talk about the food and deliver it here. The food is heated in the boiler. He and his men could not only eat hot meals, but also drink good tea, although as governors, there was still a lot of good tea. But with pearls, who are tossed for enjoyment. His tea can only be considered second-class. After all, the big red robe of Wuyi Mountain was obtained by her, and she produced eight taels a year, after the pearl secretly watered some Bagongde water. The branch of the Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao sub-plant tea tree now also produces tea. In addition, this time the pearl also got a lot of new and improved tea seeds, and even made a lot of new attempts in the production process, so that the tea produced by the pearl tea was in short supply, and the best Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao was not sold to the public at all. If you have money, you don't sell it. But the pearl tea was served to her husband to enjoy, in the previous life, in fact, the pearl really saved a lot of big red robes produced by the mother tree, but it was not taken out.
Qin Hui felt that his daughter-in-law would enjoy it so much, and she was spoiled by it. However, the daughter-in-law does love him, and now it is a little hot in the jacket, and the single clothes are still a little cold, so this velvet coat comes in handy. Qin Hui thought it was good, and wanted to send two pieces to the old mother who was far away in the capital, so he told the pearl, the pearl promised quickly, and it was done quickly, and it was quickly knitted, all of which were of good color, and there was a shawl, so that the subordinates could bring these velvet pants and sweaters and wool pants, and the local products here were sent to the old lady in the capital.
The new daughter-in-law knitted it by herself, and Qin Hui also wrote a letter to the old lady, saying that this daughter-in-law has a good temperament and knows how to hurt people. There is no more to say. This is already a high evaluation, and if it weren't for the worry that the old lady would have thoughts about his marriage here, it is estimated that he would not have written a letter. Of course, this letter is unknown to Pearl.
When I went back in the evening, I saw that the meals were ready, so I drank a bowl of hot soup first, and then started to eat, and Pearl said about her mother's family again, saying that her sister chose a family surnamed Zhang, and the other party was a military general, and Liupin, although he was a little older, but this was nothing, and his character was good, this was the information given by Qin Hui. Pearl herself inquired, it is a rule family, there are in-laws at home, but they are not very old, the future father-in-law is a general who retired due to injury, and the future mother-in-law is also a kind person. There is also a sister-in-law at home, but she is only eight years old. You can take care of the house when you enter the door. I fell in love with jadeite, but also because of others' introductions. I inquired about it myself, and I felt that the Liu family was good, and it was still good for their family to marry low, of course, having the eldest sister of a second-class lady like Pearl was also one of the factors they considered, and there was no way to avoid this. Preparations have already begun at home.
However, news came from the family, saying that it was that Qiaogu originally said that the family was not suitable, and she withdrew from her family, and finally gave it to the Ming family. This made Liu Tonghammer and his wife and their family feel cheated, and when they wrote to Pearl, they didn't say much, but they still said what they should have said. Pearl felt that she had divorced from someone else, which was originally a helpless thing, and now Ming Qian had nothing to do with who she married, although her heart was a little sour. However, thinking of Aunt Qiao's temper, thinking of the conditions of her family, and thinking of the anger she suffered in the Ming family in her previous life, I felt a little sympathetic. Although I had already added makeup to her last time, since I was not short of money, why not help her, and I also seemed generous. All wrote a letter to the family, saying that he married very well, better than the Ming family, but it was Qiaogu's marriage, because of his own relationship, it may not be so smooth, and now the situation in the family is different, that is, for the sake of grandpa and grandfather's face, for the sake of his own marriage and return to the door, the performance of the uncle's family, should not say anything, but should be generous. Here I brought the phoenix crown I brought when I got married in my previous life, plus six brocades, plus four jars of good wine and 200 taels of silver to bring back to my family, so that they could add makeup to Aunt Qiao. Now the Ming family has more than 1,000 taels of silver to buy a field, and it is estimated that there can be a few hundred taels of silver, and he gave Qiaogu the 200 taels of silver plus this phoenix crown, which can be regarded as a big dowry.
"I heard that your cousin is going to marry Ming Qian?" Qin Hui said, while also secretly observing the pearl's reaction,
Pearl replied, "Yes! I was quite surprised to hear the news, because of my relationship, I guess Aunt Qiao's life is not very good, and the life of my uncle's family is not very good, I gave my cousin makeup this time, which can be regarded as my compensation! If it weren't for me, I'm afraid that Aunt Qiao's life would be better when she arrived at Ming's house. ”
Qin Hui nodded and said, "I also asked someone to send 300 taels of silver, which can be regarded as our intention, and the Ming family will also be regarded as a family in the future, with us, Aunt Qiao will be fine." ”
"Well, hopefully!" Pearl nodded, but immediately put it down, and asked again, "It's the New Year soon, I don't know if we accept New Year's gifts in our house?" Is there anything in particular that you would like to explain? ”
Qin Hui took a mouthful of green vegetables and put it in the bowl, and said, "Others estimate that they are all based on the examples of previous years, but the gifts from Lord Xu, the first assistant of the cabinet, should be careful, they should not be too expensive or thin." You put some thought into it. Lord Gao Wenbin should also pay attention to it, it can't exceed the one given to Lord Xu, but it can't be too obvious. In-law Li Lun, you have to be more detailed, but it is not suitable for valuables, it is estimated that you will get married next year, and you, who are mothers-in-law, also have to give a little gift to your future daughter-in-law. There is also the celebrant eunuch Qin Shun, who is my godson, although he doesn't look like a good wash, but his favorite is still a little delicate thing, which is also convenient for him to be filial to his superiors and reward his subordinates. You give something small, and then prepare something good to reward, which is not suitable for fanfare. After that, Qin Hui said a few more cronies, including civil servants and military generals. Of course, the opponent also has to prepare, and you can't let it be conditioned, but you still have to be different from your own people.
Pearl never forgot what Qin Hui said, nodded to show that he understood, and in fact, he had already begun to plan in his heart. Said to the gift to the teacher, naturally can not be taken lightly, Pearl recommended the medicinal effect of the gentle use of the Eight Gongde water made of the essence of the pill, but because I don't know if my husband wants this teacher to live a long time, all of them first said the medicinal effect, but also said that after his cousin ate it, his body improved, and now he is almost the same as a normal person, and there will be no problems in getting married and having children in the future. Qin Hui didn't expect that Pearl would have a private pharmaceutical factory in his hand, which was dedicated to making medicines for himself. Tell Pearl that there is a list of good medicines for him, and write down the curative effect to see if it can be used, of course, what are the medicinal materials in it, and what are the contraindications. Pearl nodded and said it was no problem.
Pearl has gathered several pharmaceutical experts in his hands, and the pills and Western medicine essences produced have passed the experimental stage and can now be used, but because of the complexity of their production, Pearl has not been promoted. What's more, she really doesn't lack anything now. Now that her husband asked, Pearl said she would give him a detailed list. Qin Hui wondered in his heart whether he could use it.
The pills made by Pearl and the doctors include Yunnan Baiyao, Yangjing Dan, Qianli Chai Feng Oil, Niu Huang Angong Pill, Musk Tiger Bone Ointment, Penicillin, Gentamicin and some daily medicines. Although he has not yet received a specific curative effect at this time, with Qin Hui's intuition, what his little wife has made up must be extraordinary. Thinking that she has read so many books, and has achieved so much financially, and can research cosmetics, and it is the kind of thing that only the rich and powerful can buy, can she spend her energy on medicine? (To be continued......)
