Chapter 299: What Happened to Aunt Qiao
As soon as Pearl's words came out, everyone stopped talking, Qin Hui didn't know what to say, Qin Deying and his wife didn't dare to say it, Qin Dezhang was scared, this stepmother has two sons! Pearl saw that a group of people didn't speak, only Qin Min shed tears alone, looking like you were bullying me, Pearl said directly to Mama Liu who was standing aside,
"Go and ask the people around the eldest lady in costumes, what does the eldest lady like to eat, do it immediately, the materials in the house are not good, send someone to buy it in the capital quickly, go to the Qin mansion to ask for it, we don't want it in vain, send the silver over."
"Yes, the old slave will do it!"
Qin Min was also a little frightened when he saw that things had escalated to this level, and he forgot to shed tears, but Qin Hui didn't speak at this time and continued to eat, he understood that now is not a good time to say good, others don't know, he knows, the rouge rice and japonica rice that are often eaten for breakfast in this house are the best. The daughter is obviously finding fault, if she speaks and loses the face of her wife, how will her wife stand up in front of her children and subordinates in the future?
Qin Hui didn't have an attitude, but it just showed his attitude. Qin Deying felt very sorry for her sister, she wanted to stand up for her sister when Pearl spoke like this, but when she looked at her father, she ignored it, is this afraid of her wife? Kong knows pearls very well, and has been following pearls for so long, but he knows very well the character of this young mother-in-law, who is usually generous and lenient, but once he turns his face, he is ruthless! Not only is he knowledgeable, but he also has the means, connections, good things, and money. Although she has also been in contact with some accounts, they are all in this house, and occasionally she knows that some things are Pearl's own private room, which shocked Kong's heart, and the person who does things for her mother-in-law, the dress, the business, and the amount of money she talks about are all incomprehensible to herself, which represents her mother-in-law's ability, family background and ability. It's much stronger than you think. Therefore. When she sensed that her husband was about to come out, Kong grabbed her husband's sleeve and signaled him not to act rashly.
Qin Dezhang was more interesting there, his mouth was stuffed. For the statement of the sister. He strongly disagreed. Swallowing the food in his mouth, he said, "Sister." You're not mistaken, are you? How delicious this is! It's much more delicious than the one in the capital, and this porridge is also delicious, you must be on fire, and I'll eat it very well. ”
Pearl looked at the second child with a smile and followed his words, "On fire?" In that case, Mama, take your young lady down, and then invite a doctor, and drink a few more days of clear porridge, and I will see that this problem will be gone. ”
"Yes, what Madame said is that the old slave went down with the eldest lady first." Mama Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and took Qin Min away, she was an old woman from the palace, and her means were very good, if it weren't for her excellence, she wouldn't dare to send her to the Qin Mansion in the capital without a minion.
Qin Min touched his tears and left, Qin Deying didn't say anything, Qin Hui didn't eat much, after all, he had already eaten in the middle of the night, and when everyone was gone, Qin Hui said to Pearl, "Min'er, this child has been spoiled in the capital, I also know what happened yesterday, you are a mother, I believe you will not be much worse than your biological mother, if there is any way to change her temper, it will be better, follow you, I can rest assured." ”
As soon as Pearl heard it, she understood what Qin Hui meant, but just think about a child, she has always liked children, and if Qin Min really doesn't look like it in the future, she will be the first to lose face. Even for this, Pearl has to pull this girl over. Thinking of this, he said, "It's said that stepmothers are difficult to do, this is only the first day, yesterday I heard those ladies and wives talk about a lot of things about this and that family, and everyone has no worries, but my Qin family must not have a daughter from a small family." ”
When Qin Deying heard this, she agreed a little in her heart, and now it seems that her stepmother is suppressing her sister, but it is also for her sister's future. Since both the father and the wife believe in the stepmother, then just take a look for yourself. For a meal, except for Qin Deying, who ate a little unsavory, everyone else used it very well.
After eating and leaving, Qin Deying sent people away and said to Kong, "Why are you pulling me?" This stepmother seems to be good, but today, she is like this to my sister, who is still young, and has no mother since birth, husband and wife are often away from home, and my brother and I are busy studying, and there are too few places to take care of her. But the stepmother ......"
Kong knows a lot about his sister-in-law, if she is in her own mother's house, she has already been educated by her parents and elders, where can she be like this, it sounds good, it is the little girl who has a stubborn temper, makes her temperament, and when she says it is big, she does not understand the rules, and she is the eldest daughter of a dignified feudal official, even if she is a princess and princess in the future, she can be, but seeing that the sister-in-law behaves in the world on weekdays, she is instigated by her nurse, so she stares at those trivial things, loves money, loves beauty, and refuses to learn, whose girl is like this! After saying a few words, I will shed tears to show you, no one dares to bear the reputation of treating motherless girls harshly.
There are a lot of things today, clean up the leftover things from the banquet, check the gifts, and check the accounts, but today Pearl received a letter from the family, talking about Qiaogu's matter, saying that it is the people of the Ming family, and the treatment of Qiaogu is not very good. Qiaogu often went back to her parents' house to complain and cry, although she said that she was complaining and crying, but when she left, she had to bring food and drink, otherwise, it would be difficult to go back to her parents' house next time.
Fang's didn't complain to Pearl in the letter, the reason is very simple, Aunt Qiao is so pitiful, the last pregnancy was five months, and she had a miscarriage, which was already very hurtful, but her mother-in-law let her raise her for half a month, and there was no food to eat or medicine, so she went back to her mother's house to ask for help, and sent her servants and food supplements, but it would be good if Aunt Qiao could get half of the things sent. For such a situation, Ming Qian was clear, but he didn't say anything, Aunt Qiao complained to him, not only did he not seek justice for Aunt Qiao, but it made the relationship between the husband and wife colder. It was even rumored that the Ming family wanted to give Ming Qian a concubine. Originally, the Ming family did not have the ability to give Ming Qian a decent concubine, it is easy to say that the maid is good, but to be a concubine, not only must be in good health, but also have to be good, and she must be smart and clever, such a girl is bought in the capital, not to mention two hundred taels of silver, but compared with the girl sent by the Liu family, it is a big difference! Ming Youshou and his wife wanted the girl given by the Liu family to be Ming Qian's concubine.
But Qiaogu was originally a strong character, and she didn't agree to anything. Ming Youshou and his wife wanted to tell the girl directly without going through Aunt Qiao, but the girl sent by the Liu family was different from other families, and the servants were all thoughtful, they could read, write, read and read account books, and they would also cook at the Women's Red Cross, but if they wanted to be a concubine, they would never die. The foreheads were all broken, one was like this, and the four girls who came were all like this. After asking, I found out that the descendants of their Liu family are such rules, if anyone becomes a concubine, then her relatives and friends, but anyone who has something to do with it will not end well, they would rather die than dare to do such a thing. And so it came to an end.
Every time Qiaogu returned to Liu's house, Fang's family quickly asked the doctor to prescribe medicine, stew soup, and even in order to stay Qiaogu for a few more days, Fang's even asked people to send two silks to the Ming family. It is to allow Qiaogu to have time to recuperate. When you go back, bring some food fabrics, or some jewelry that is not very valuable, silver bracelets, gold rings, etc. Fang told Pearl in the letter that Aunt Qiao was haggard and yellow and thin, and her clothes couldn't hold up. In a bad mood, Fang's and Zhou's and Xiao Zhou's reached an agreement on one issue for the first time.
Pearl read the letter, very angry in her heart, a little interference, but the teacher is unknown, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival fortunately did not forget the gifts to the Ming family, they are all standard gifts, nothing special, this is also afraid that Qin Hui will think too much, don't think that Pearl does not know Qin Hui's estrangement from Ming Qian, this is to avoid suspicion. In addition, Pearl also thought that if she gave something, she couldn't fall into the hands of Aunt Qiao. It seems that Pearl will have to find another way to save her cousin.
Pearl and Qiaogu in the previous life can be said to be enemies, but in this life, there is not such a big contradiction with Qiaogu, and the Ming family asks to marry Qiaogu, but also to tie up the Qin family.
In the evening, Pearl showed the letter to Qin Hui, and said that the third sister Coral was about to get married, this time it was to marry Prince Zheng, the date had been set, just next month, Coral's dowry had already been prepared, except for the rosewood furniture of a water, it was all good things, Pearl spent a lot of effort in order to make face for the third sister. In addition, Coral's business has been doing well in recent years, and he has 30,000 taels of silver in his hand, 20,000 yuan at home, and 50,000 yuan for Pearl.
I won't talk about the things I prepared before, this time I can't go back when my sister, I still have to send something to add makeup, to show my closeness, Pearl prepared a pair of large grandfather clocks, which are things in the space, as well as four sets of cosmetics, essential oils and perfumes, a large cart of silk brocade from his own factory, and the latest four sets of full head jewelry, pearls, diamonds, rubies and eight treasures jewelry. I sent a lot of pearls to the past. There are also some recently acquired medicinal materials, including American ginseng, pearl also wrote about the usage and taboos, and also brought some back to the family and Aunt Qiao by the way.
