A group of people went to the old lady in a mighty way, and the people who greeted them were all dressed in the outer courtyard, and they also stood up at this time, while helping to move things to the house, while looking at the back of the lady and the son and the young lady who walked towards the inner courtyard, some of the servants had seen the eldest lady, and there were many rumors that they had heard in the past, and they all knew that although the eldest lady was the eldest lady's daughter, but because the lady was dead, she was taken care of by the old lady and the third lady, and said that she was taking care of it, but it was just raising. It's not a favorite, it's not a good thing, and there's no thing to even send money to the small kitchen to add food, let alone a reward. But now I see that I am dressed in such a beautiful mink head, and I can see the eyebrows of the jewels on my forehead, that is, I can wipe my forehead, and the skirt that is exposed is a fine brocade embroidered with gold thread, and the shoes on my feet have such a big pearl! A mother-in-law said that in the future, after the eldest lady and the eldest lady will be followed in the end, maybe she will be able to pick up the pearls that have fallen from their shoes, and she will be rich, and there will be twenty or thirty thousand silver each!

When they arrived at the old lady's courtyard, Pearl saw that there were already many people standing under the corridor, and when Pearl and his party came, they all set their eyes on Pearl, and at this time, almost all of them turned their inquiring eyes to Pearl and his group. Looking at this posture, as if he was going to fight, when he walked to the door, he saw two grandmothers standing on both sides of the thick curtain, and Grandma Liu stood beside Pearl and said to these two people,

"Lift the curtain, this is Madame, haven't you seen it yet?"

"Ma'am? What lady? Saying that, he laughed, and the other said, "Without the permission of the old lady, this is not the wife of our Qin family." ”

Pearls don't need to be opened. Mama Qi said, "Joke, the emperor's first-class wife, the master's three media, six hires, and the lady who married the big red sedan chair, when you come here, it doesn't count?" Is this the law of the country more important than the law of the family? "Mama Qi is an old man from the palace in the end, and she has always been able to stand on the commanding heights when she speaks.

Two grandmothers, look at me, I look at you, said the round-faced woman who spoke first. "The old lady is resting! Don't let it bother. ”

"Who are you? What kind of errand is in the yard? Pearl said,

"I am the mother in charge of the old lady's yard, and they all call me Mother Xu, and I am the old lady's companion." The woman was wearing a brown silk jacket. A silver-gilt hairpin on his head. Dotted green pressing. With gold earrings on his ears and gold bracelets on his wrists, he was clearly a very decent person. Although his face is not as imposing as he was at the beginning, he is still lukewarm, obviously relying on the old lady's momentum, and he will not move her, offending her is equivalent to not giving the old lady face.

Mama Qi shouted, "Bold minion, who are you calling me in front of?" In front of the lady, the second young master, and the eldest lady, you dare to be majestic, is this worth it? Madam, is it according to the rules of our house, reward her with a red hand? ”

"Those who don't know are not guilty, and if there are still people in this house who dare to call them that, they will inevitably be punished. You say the old lady is resting and no one is allowed to disturb, right? ”

"Exactly." The round-faced mother Xu was a little timid, but she didn't give the yellow-faced woman who was wearing a cyan silk jacket on the other side said with certainty,

"Who are you?"

“…… They all call me Bai Er's family. The mother-in-law in the blue jacket said,

"Did you hear that? These two said, the old lady is resting, don't disturb? Pearl turned her head sideways and asked the people around her,

"The slaves and maids have heard it." And they all said in unison,

Pearl turned her head to look at Qin Dezhang and Qin Min, and said, "Since your grandmother is resting, we won't bother, and when her old man is no longer resting, find someone to inform us, and we'll come back then." With that, he turned around and left. Qin Dezhang is a little older, and he feels a little wrong in his heart, grandmother is giving his stepmother a horse, he understands this, but his stepmother doesn't give face like this, how will it end in the future? Don't think about it, since he didn't let him see it, standing and waiting under the porch really didn't fit his IQ, turned around and followed his stepmother and sister away.

found a subordinate, led them to the main courtyard of the old man, after entering, the pearl found that something was wrong, the snow in this yard was just swept, and the people around him were still busy, seeing the pearl they came back so soon, Mingyue hurriedly came over and reported to the pearl,

"Madam, the slaves and maids have all seen it, the courtyards of the second young master and the eldest lady have been cleaned up, and the stove and the kang are also burning, but this main courtyard is not only not cleaned up, but there are also incense cases and incense candles and the tablet of the first lady in the hall, and the slaves and maids don't know what to do."

"You won't even clean the master's house?" Pearl asked,

Mingyue looked angry and said, "I heard that the master has been living in the study in the past, and he will only return to the main courtyard occasionally, and since the first lady died, he has not come, so the master's study is cleaned." ”

This is a trap for yourself! Pearl said to Qin Dezhang and Qin Min, "Since your biological mother's tablet is here, we should worship, and I, as a stepfamily, will also perform the concubine ceremony, and I also have to promise your mother that I will treat you well, so that she can rest assured!" ”

Qin Dezhang felt a little uncomfortable, although he missed his mother, but his mother's tablet was not in the ancestral hall of the Qin family, what did it mean to put it here? Qin Min instinctively wanted to cry, but when she thought about it, her mother died when she was born, she had no memory, and now she has a dignified and promising life because of this stepmother, but she is a little worried about her stepmother's reaction, and she has less self-pity and sadness in the past. But what the stepmother said was right, anyway, the worship should be, Pearl and the two children are now holding the stove in their hands, waiting for the next person to prepare the worship things, which is also what Pearl has long thought of, and now the two children happen to be here, and they are not considered to have done day work.

When everything is ready, the pearl worships first, and does not forget to promise in his mouth, and so on to help her husband take care of the inner house, so that the two young masters can make contributions and become the pillars of the country, and even gave Qin Min a promise of a hundred miles of red makeup, saying that Qin Min's face was red, although Qin Min didn't know much about getting married, but she knew a little that if a girl had a hundred miles of red makeup, it not only represented the favor of her mother's family, but also represented the future status and life of her husband's family, because the meaning of dowry is that it does not rely on her mother's family. Women can also live well. Now I see that my stepmother's care and cultivation of her are indeed for her good, and even my grandmother said, "Don't feel annoyed, don't feel tired, you have learned a lot of things, because with the identity and status of our master, the family you will marry in the future must be a princely family, and these things will be used in the future." If you don't become a talent yourself, then you will become a high one, and a low one will not be enough. Qin Min felt that her mother had invited so many masters because of her future and brought herself with her, all for her future.

After the worship, Pearl took Qin Dezhang and Qin Min directly to their father's study, saying that it was a study, but it was actually a small courtyard, which had a large library room, as well as the place where their father usually handled official business, as well as halls and bedrooms, and now the furnishings here have been replaced by those brought by home, Pearl looks comfortable, the three of them took off their coats, and the meals in the small kitchen were also delivered, and the three of them ate, and Pearl sent the two children back to rest.

Pearl didn't forget to tell them, go back and take a hot bath, and when the tonic soup is stewed, send it to them, go to the cold, and rush during this time, as long as there are conditions, Pearl will stew tonic soup for everyone. The climate here is different from theirs, although the four northeastern provinces are extremely cold, the air is very dry, although it is not as cold here as there, but it is not bad, but the air is a little humid, which makes people feel a little breathless. Changing places, always pay attention. This time the family came out, and on the way it was no better than in the house, Pearl put on a thick down cotton jacket and cotton pants for everyone, and put a robe on the outside, and put on a fox skin or mink cape on the outside of the robe. I just arrived at the main courtyard and tossed for a long time, and Pearl's face was frozen red. It's the same with kids.

After that, the pearl began to sort out the luggage, this time directly to give the New Year's gift, in previous years, the New Year's gift, generally speaking, Qin Hui will prepare the gift directly from there directly to the Qin Mansion, and then sent it out by the Qin Mansion, only last year is different, because the gift is too expensive, to the house, it has passed several waves of people's hands, and it is not good to reveal the news, and the gift is expensive, which makes people greedy, and they have no way to come back. Sending those valuable things, firstly, because Qin Hui was promoted, he wanted to reward some people, especially the royal family, plus the emperor acquiesced to him holding money, but he also had to give the emperor some sweetness.

This year's gift is heavier than last year's, because the emperor handed over the cement factory to Qin Hui, and allowed him to transport the sheep fat jade back privately to raise military supplies, and there is also the matter of minerals, although the price of tires is not expensive, but that is only for those rich and noble, for ordinary people, the tires are more expensive than carriages. All, tires also make a lot of money. There are also things such as Qin Hui's road repair, which is a convenient project for the people, and they can also participate in road construction and earn food or copper money, but for those ministers in the court, they may not think so. Therefore, in order to shut up those ministers and the emperor to be gracious, the gifts given this year are even more generous.

Along the way, Pearl was worried that the gifts she brought would be damaged, so she went to the small courtyard next door to see those things, carefully checked them, sealed the boxes, locked them, and then let the guards with knives guard, these guards are all pearl's guards, one in a million, before being her guard, they have been in the rivers and lakes for many years, only a small number of people are young people, trained from Zhuangzi, these people are also future successors, of course, the martial arts are also top-notch, and the weapons in their hands are provided by Pearl.

After checking that the gift was not damaged, it was his own salute, and there were a lot of pearl salutes, Qin Hui's study did not have the original big cabinet in the northeast, but after folding the clothes, it was also possible to put it down, but before wearing it, it needed to be ironed with an iron. Pearl doesn't like incense, so if she needs it, she uses perfume, which she does. Cosmetics and jewelry were put in boxes, and homely ones were put in a few boxes, and they were placed on the Bogu shelf, and the things on the original Bogu shelf were put in the warehouse.
