Chapter 263: Promotion and Fortune
The time of confinement has long been enough for pearls to nourish the body and recover the body, so I will go to the space to take a bath if I have nothing to do, and then contact yoga to soak in the water of Bagongde, and the lochia on my body will be drained off the next day. When he came out of the confinement period, he was dressed in an embroidered pomegranate gown with a purple glow in the main red color, a peacock phoenix hairpin on his head, a ruby earring on his ears, and an emerald jade bracelet on his wrist, and the whole person looked like a bride. Not only is his complexion good, but his figure is even better, everyone who saw him said that Lord Qin was really blessed, and some male guests also saw the pearl and sighed secretly, such a character, no wonder Lord Qin said that he had to get it to the house, it was indeed stunning!
Their little bun first went to the front yard to hang around, and then came back, showed it to the female guests, and listened to the praise of several carts before going back. When Pearl looked at the gift list in the evening, she was really shocked, these people, although they also knew to be evasive, would not give those eye-catching things. But this time it's different, it doesn't matter so much at all, her baby son has collected more than a hundred gold collars just by inlaid treasures, as well as gold locks and so on. The fabrics, jewelry, and ornaments given to her, as well as Qin Hui's famous calligraphy and paintings, and antique jade, are simply gifts taking advantage of her son's full moon. It doesn't matter if it's the occasion or not! Qin Hui said that these things were given to the pearl, which could be regarded as compensation for the loss of her grain store that was not opened.
What is more interesting is the congratulatory gift sent by the capital of the Qin family, gold lock plates, a pair of gold bracelets, and four pieces of fabric. There is nothing else but this. Qin Hui naturally knew about it, but he felt that if he participated, it would definitely not be good. When he found an opportunity, he mentioned it to Pearl and told her not to care.
This time also gave Qin Hui a wake-up call, although the imperial court also has a granary, but to let the imperial court open the warehouse to release grain, it is estimated that the procedures will take a year, it seems that he has to be prepared! Thinking like this, he directly accepted the real grain store, including the very sturdy grain depots covered by pearls.
After a period of experimentation, Qin Hui finally reported the matter of cement to the imperial court. Of course. He did not say that his daughter-in-law gave it to him, but said that he got it from a foreigner, and if it was built, it was mixed with woven steel bars in the cement. Then it will be more solid. Something like that. It is no better to use it as a, Qin Hui presented the books of this discovery and experiment to the emperor, and the emperor is looking for someone to experiment. And after seeing it in person, it began to be put into production, the first project to do was the embankment, and after the initial results, it happened to be affected by the drought in the north, Qin Hui built a dam in the north, in order to cope with the dry season, and successfully solved the problem of rising food prices, which made the emperor further convinced of his ability, just when there was a vacancy in the governors of the four northern provinces, the emperor appointed Qin Hui to be promoted to the governor, and was fully responsible for the military and political affairs of the four northern provinces.
When the holy decree came, Pearl's son was almost three months old, and her husband suddenly changed from a second grade to a first grade, this span is really a bit big, you must know that in the previous life, Mingqian borrowed Qin Hui's light, then it would take at least four years! It seems that I did help him a lot. Promoted, more people come to give gifts, this time it is very high-grade, the whole box of pearls, agate beads, agate bracelets, mutton fat jade bracelets, jade pendants, etc., as well as more valuable jade ornaments, gem bonsai, coral bonsai more than one meter high, as well as very delicate gold, silver and gilt inlaid treasure of various utensils. The things she gave to this woman included not only a set of jewels, but also a variety of precious fabrics, furs, ginseng, deer antlers, cordyceps, bird's nest and other valuable medicines and supplements. There were even people who secretly put silver tickets and gold tickets in the gifts, the amount was not small, this pearl didn't dare to accept it, and when Qin Hui came back, he asked him what to do? Qin Hui asked who it was, and Pearl also said, Qin Hui said, take it! Don't worry about anything else, so Pearl accepted it with a smile. There is still a period of time before the war, and I am not in a hurry to pour things out for the time being, but it happened that most of the things were sent out last time, and the warehouse was empty, and now I can put them in. These things are even better than the ones you have collected! The pearl was secretly changed again, it must be a red gold plate, there is no refinement outside in the space, anyway, it is recorded in the ledger like this, and the pearl is secretly changed, it doesn't matter.
Qin Hui's younger brothers are still very good, but he is only one sister-in-law, the other second brother Qin Ming and third brother Qin Wang are all concubines, but obviously the relationship between the brothers is still good. At least in Pearl's opinion, because she has never heard her husband speak ill of her younger brothers, and the gifts she usually gives back and forth are also very thoughtful. Pearl is especially concerned about the full moon gift for her child, the things sent by my mother-in-law are obviously perfunctory, and the things sent by the other younger brothers are better, I gave gifts to the children, and sent a lot of supplements to the pearls, and the dried seafood sent by the second master in Fuzhou, bird's nest and honey are good, obviously with heart. The third master is near the capital, and he also gave them the children's small clothes, which were made by the third brother and sister Yue, of course, it may not be, since people say yes, then it should be, in addition to sending clothes, there are also a full set of gold collars, gold locks, plus bracelets and anklets, the styles are very exquisite, and twenty soft satin suitable for children were also given. The color is bright, it is definitely not an old item, and in addition to these, it also gives a great gift to the pearl. Compared with the old lady of the Qin family, the gap is too obvious.
But this matter did not bother Pearl for long, and now that her husband has been promoted, they are moving again, to another province, where the mansion is even bigger than here, and of course, there are more guards, more guards, and more people coming and going. Pearls first let people pack valuable things after all, especially the things to be sent for this year's festival and New Year, and then send them directly from the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing. On my side, I only have some fabric that I can use and some things that may need to be used as gifts.
Qin Hui knows the ability of pearls, not to mention that most of the people in the backyard are pearls now, and the subordinates in the past also listened to pearls, and those who were dishonest and disobedient had long been driven away, including the people brought by the capital. Qin Hui didn't say anything about the thunderous means of the inner courtyard of the pearl management, this is in favor. The people also saw it clearly, and they were more respectful to the pearls.
The original big butlers Song Shenxing and Song Zheng were even smarter, and they were naturally obedient. The original food in the kitchen was not in harmony with the taste, and later the cook was changed, and the original cook was brought from the capital, so he went back with the convoy of gifts. Now the people in charge of cooking, burning the fire and cutting vegetables in the kitchen are all people who have been transferred from their own Zhuangzi.
Because the original four little girls all came from the capital, and their families were in the hands of the old lady, these four people were trained by Mama Liu and went to the front yard to serve tea. Now that he is moving, Pearl is in charge of the entire move, and Qin Hui is also very busy now, and when the affairs of the yamen are explained, he finally took the time to see his wife and children, and found that they were all ready. Just wait for her. Everything in the house was emptied, the carriage was ready, and Qin Hui set off with his wife and big fat son with a smile.
This time I moved, the pearl is farther away from Zhuozhou, but if you take a carriage, you can get there in one day, and in winter, the vegetables and fruits sent from Zhuozhou Zhuangzi can also be eaten quickly.
Along the way, the husband and wife were playing with their children, Qin Hui didn't know why, he especially liked this little son, even more than the eldest son he had high hopes for, yes! The meaning of the youngest son and the eldest grandson is always different. Qin Hui hugged the fat fleshy son and said to the pearl, "That sentence is really true, the youngest son, the eldest grandson, the lifeblood of the old man." For me, this little son is always different. ”
As soon as Pearl heard this, she was not happy, how could one child be enough, she would have to give birth to several! So he said, "What does the master mean that if I have another one, our family's Yangyang will not be loved by the master?" ”
Qin Hui looked back at his wife and said, "If you give birth to another master, I will spoil you even more!" ”
"And what if I have two more? What about three? ”
"I'll double, double, double!" After speaking, he pinched Pearl's face, and when he saw that no one was looking at him, he pressed Pearl's head and kissed it vigorously before letting go. Pearl blushed and muttered something, looking at him reproachfully. I didn't expect him to smile even more.
Qin Hui thought that it would be great if he could still have a few sons, he was used to seeing the sons-in-law and concubines in the family splitting up and brothers and sisters discording, so Qin Hui's children were all grandchildren, if there were a few more children, especially at his age, what could be more happy than this? Things in the court are getting more and more complicated, and sometimes it does make him upset, but in the face of the affairs of his wife and youngest son, he quickly has no worries. There is a relationship with the original partner, but more of it is respect, respectful and not so intimate. Where is like this little woman, always pestering him to talk, hanging on his face when he is angry, and being coquettish when he wants anything, he feels that his heart is occupied by this woman little by little. From that dance, she pried open the door of her heart, and everything that followed, although he didn't do it, but he didn't stop it, which is very telling, showing that he really wanted to get her. When they lived together, he suddenly felt that the first half of his life was too little fun. Nowadays, there is fun every day, she is always surprising herself, and now she has given birth to such a lovely son, which makes the pearl occupy more and more weight in Qin Hui's heart, and in the secret competition between the mother and the pearl, she is more inclined to the pearl. During the Chinese New Year, Pearl not only carefully prepared gifts for the three original children, but also bothered to give gold and silver nudes, he naturally knew that his children would not suffer in the capital, but without his parents around, no one would have thought of the reward money, just for this, Qin Hui felt that Pearl's stepmother was already very qualified, and he didn't expect it.
