Qin Hui and Pearl have a very tacit understanding, one investigates the infiltration of external forces, and the other investigates the cause of Xiao Wall in the house, in different directions, but just as Pearl trusts Qin Hui's ability very much, Qin Hui also trusts Pearl very much, and sometimes, he may not announce everything, just as Qin Hui saw Pearl's many guards, saw Pearl's maids were well-trained and martial arts, and saw Pearl's many younger brothers and sisters who taught well, See the vast wealth in the hands of the pearl and the great net hidden beneath this wealth. She has the ability to find out.

The 100-day banquet can be said to be that the ministers and family members who can come from the four provinces have come, and those who have not come have also sent generous gifts early. Pearl was concerned about the meals, snacks and drinks at the banquet, and she also had to entertain the ladies, which Pearl had been accustomed to in her two lives. The Kong clan who followed Pearl Clan, although he had also entertained guests in the Qin Mansion, had he never seen such a big formation? Although there is no shortage of dukes and earls, powerful people in the court, there are also literati and scholars, hermit masters, and giant businessmen.

The pearls are well arranged, the maids who serve the dishes are well-trained, and even for what guests use what tea, Xi Nong or Xi Dan, they all know it well, and they are naturally satisfied after serving the tea, plus the dim sum and pastries are all good-looking, delicious, and rare, and the ladies and the children brought are also happy. The dishes at the banquet that Pearl made this time were even a few big dishes such as Buddha jumping over the wall, and the men were drinking spirits, and the atmosphere couldn't be better.

It wasn't until late at night that it was over. Fortunately, the Kong family asked the pearl to send someone back, otherwise I am afraid it will not be able to support it, anyway, the pearl let the Kong family follow him among these ministers and relatives for a long time, and everyone has recognized this young grandmother. That's enough.

When Kong went back, Qin Deying hadn't come back yet, although it was said that he was recuperating, some people still had to see him, and when it was time for dinner, Qin Deying came back, and the people were ready. Wash up. On the meal, it is still health-based. Kong Shi saw that her husband looked very good, so she hurriedly prepared vegetables, and learned the ordinary practices of her father-in-law and mother-in-law during the banquet. Send all your men back. The husband and wife whispered something to avoid people.

Today, Qin Deying followed her father. I have seen a lot of important ministers and heard a lot of praise, although my father has always been humble. But it's not hard to see the trust and pride in yourself. All Kong told her husband was how busy she was today, and she followed her wife to see this, see that, receive this gift, and give that thing. I didn't forget to say, "Fortunately, before going out to welcome guests, my wife put a few strings of tourmaline, pearls and agate bracelets on my hand, otherwise, I really don't know how to deal with such a scene today?" ”

Hearing what Kong said, the chopsticks in Qin Deying's hand paused, when he was in the capital, although he also said that he would let Kong be a housekeeper, but when he received guests with heads and faces, they were all old ladies and third ladies. Even a meet-and-greet gift? This affinity and estrangement, far and near are really too obvious contrasts. For the pearl pair to buy things for his daughter-in-law, I don't know how much better than her dowry. Even if it was the meal of their husband and wife, it was the stepmother who set her own list and invited the doctor to read it, and there was no duplicate in these days. Thinking of this, Qin Deying said to Kong,

"You're back so early? Why don't you spend more time with your mother? ”

"My husband didn't know anything, I followed my mother to meet many ladies of powerful families, and my mother introduced me privately. There is also the hermit master, the hero of the world. Husband, have you ever known that among the heroes, there are even heroines! I have a good relationship with my mother, and I asked my mother for two jars of good wine to take back! My heroines are really eye-opening. What's even more rare is that I heard that my mother's skills are also very good. He also said that there was a chance to fight! ”

Qin Deying smiled, he was very clear about his stepmother's ability, in the competition to recruit relatives that year, the second sister she taught by herself could beat the champion of the martial arts competition with one whip, and even made a big fuss in the Egret Academy, sending a woman from a family to the nunnery, the two younger brothers are all lifters, and there will be a Jinshi in the coming year, I heard that she is also taught by one person, such a woman is indeed rare in the world, and she is indeed tolerant and generous to her and his wife's various actions, Qin Deying also understood why his father could change so much. Seeing such a living sunshine, bright, extraordinary, self-confident and self-reliant woman, there are few in the world, except for a person like my father, who else can be worthy? What man could refuse to change for the sake of such a woman?

Qin Deying thought of the old grandmother at home, although he loved him very much, but he loved Qin Xiang, the eldest son of his uncle's family who had already gone out, more than him. Although the Qin Mansion does not have a title, the Qin Mansion has been operating for many years! It must be in the hands of the patriarch, not only the connections in the court, but also in private, not only these people, but also secret business, and strong financial resources, which are all in charge of the head of the family. If you don't get your father's approval, you can't do anything. Looking at the meaning of his stepmother, there is no meaning of securities hiding at all.

On the second day, Kong got up early, saw that his father-in-law and mother-in-law had completed the morning exercise, and after breakfast, Kong saw that the pearl was still in homely clothes today, with a round hairpin without edges and corners on his head, and his hair was braided with a ribbon, and then fixed with a double-strand hairpin.

Today is about to start cleaning up the mess, and Kong Shi only then knows that the banquet was very late yesterday, and many important gold, silver and jade artifacts need to be inspected and returned to the warehouse today. Looking at these is the breeze, this girl is the most delicate. Mingyue is good at cooking, counting the amount of yesterday's kitchen and the remaining materials, and the reward that should be given to the next person is rewarded, and the one who should be divided is divided, but the waste is still counted by Mingyue's girl.

As for Liu Zi and Chunguang, they followed Mama Liu and Mama Qi to sort out the gifts sent by each family. When Kong came, he happened to see Pearl and his subordinates counting gifts in the counting hall. I wanted to avoid it, but when I thought of the old lady's explanation, I hesitated a little, and this hesitation, the pace slowed down, and just so that Pearl saw it, so I called in and asked her to check it too. Snacks and pastries have been put aside, and now the precious gold, silver and jade are organized. There are collars, bracelets, anklets and locks for children, as well as rare books, precious jade, gold-inlaid treasure toys, gemstone bonsai, precious porcelain, as well as antique bronzes and calligraphy and paintings, calligraphy and calligraphy from the previous dynasty, glass inserts and jade screens, golden Buddhas, jade Buddhas and so on. There are also jewelry for pearls, and there are also for Shen's, and those for pearls have to be packed in boxes, and those for Kong's have to be packed in boxes, but they can only be loaded with a box, and it is still up to her to follow the pearls, and others give them temporarily. But this kind of harvest is also not available in the old mansion in the capital. Not to mention someone who introduced you.

There is also a category of silk brocade, which is said to be made for children, but not for adults? If it is cool today, it is sent to flower soft satin, plain soft satin, brocade satin, antique satin, jacquard satin and silk, silk crepe and so on, of course, there are also seven-color satin, streamer brocade, and various embroidery materials. There are a lot of small clothes to be made, but these will not be worn to the children, the needlework of outsiders, of course, the pearl is not at ease, when the three children are small, they wear soft clothes in the space, and when they are older, there are also pearls to do it themselves. Now there is less embroidery, but more clothes. It's really a lot of children, and there is no way.

The last category is supplements and medicinal herbs, which are used by mothers and women, and there are also some general medicinal herbs. Of course, they are extremely precious and rare. There were even people who bought pearls from the capital and the south to sell the essence pills. It's kind of funny. However, Pearl also accepted it, saying that it was intended to be given to those under him. It's also a precious thing, and it's a personal favor.

Kong Shi was busy with Pearl for most of the day, and even had a bite to deal with lunch, and he didn't take a lunch break, so he came back to help. Kong found out that the stepmother received the gift, not only to record, but also to personally inspect it, but also to check what the gift giver had given in the past and what was special. There are a lot of special things about this, some of them are because of the father-in-law's explanation, and some of them are because this person has to be transferred recently, or because he can help his father-in-law. Moreover, there is what wedding and funeral the other party is about to have at home, or a new birthday.

This is something that Kong has never seen, although every gift is picked up by the mother-in-law and put it down after looking at it twice, Kong has been following the pearl these days, and he has become a little bolder, so he asked, "Mother, what's the use of looking at it twice?" Such a gift, you look at each one, can you remember? Besides, this is just a small-scale banquet for two brothers for 100 days, and when it comes to the big festival, can you watch it? ”

Pearl didn't stop with his hands and eyes, and said, "I saw it myself, and I knew what kind of friendship people were giving, if it was appropriate, if the gift was beyond the appropriate range, it would be a big deal, if it was ignored, but it would delay the master's big event." ”

At this time, Liu Zi added on the side, "The young grandmother doesn't know anything, our wife, I will never forget it, and if we see it once, we will never forget it." Write it down for fear that we will forget. Looking through it, firstly, I have a good idea, and secondly, I am afraid that someone will be shoddy and greedy. ”

Kong was taken aback, he didn't expect his mother-in-law to have such ability, fortunately not a man, if it was a man, then at this age, so capable, wouldn't it be a big trouble for her husband in the future, but then I thought about it, fortunately, this is my mother-in-law, self-esteem, self-esteem, of course I will not compete with my husband.
