On the second day, Qin Hui took Pearl and two children to the old lady to say goodbye, and directly proposed to let Pearl move back to the main courtyard to live, the reason is even more open, during this time, the house will become very busy because he went home for the New Year, during the New Year, not only to go out with Pearl to visit others, but also to hold a banquet at home, when the time, Pearl as the hostess of the house, but with her husband in the front yard, the girls and women, the guards, all crowded in the front yard of their own study, what has become of this? As the eldest lady, Pearl is not only the serious hostess of the Qin Mansion, but also the wife of the patriarch, and she must have the dignity she deserves. Now that he is struggling in the court, there are some unbearable things at home, and the eldest lady must come forward to rectify it, Wang originally wanted to say something, but Qin Hui's attitude was very tough, and finally even said that the future affairs will be arranged by the eldest lady Liu, because of the attitude of things, I will come to the old lady's yard to ask for peace when I am free, and I am afraid that I will not be able to do it sooner or later. Wang could only agree with a calm face.

After that, Pearl took Qin Dezhang and Qin Min, respectfully put the tablet of the Gu family back to the ancestral hall, the main courtyard is very large, there are more than a dozen main rooms, in addition to a large bedroom, there are also the main hall, side hall, study, embroidery room, as well as a large warehouse and a place for the grandmother and girl waiting around.

Ancient furniture was mainly used to place items, and these homes had strong practical value. In such a large family, it is very exquisite, and no one is indispensable. For the screens alone, the pearls were moved over four frames.

The house was hung with a tent of warm colors, and the bed was also covered with a royal blue five-piece flower mattress that pearls liked, and a pillow embroidered with big red carp was placed on the kang head. A thick double duvet with a silk quilt embroidered with pink flowers on a tender yellow background that pearls like. The vases, jewelry boxes, and cosmetics boxes in the house were all placed on the dresser. There are also calligraphy and paintings, and hanging screens have been hung up. This time I cleaned up the house, but it was all according to my own preferences, and Pearl was busy all morning.

It is three and a half meters deep, and the bed is surrounded on three sides by expanded carvings and painted screens. Entering the corridor head-on, entering the corridor is like stepping into the interior, and the front is composed of carved columns, hanging down, and leaning on the eaves flower cover. On the left side, there is a small cabinet with two buckets and two doors, and the lamp stand is placed on it, so it is also called the lamp cabinet, and the dressing table is placed on the top to open the box, which can make up the evening makeup; On the right side of the corridor is a toilet box, and the necessary and indecent things are hidden in the box. Behind the porch is a large couch, separated by a curtain, and there is really another room in the room, and there is a room in the room. It is a window type that looks at the front and back, and looks at the top and bottom, and the perfect screen structure around the body is made of a frame puzzle, which can be closed and opened, and the practicality and beauty are just right and impressive.

Although the ebony is too solemn, but the important figures carved on the decorative bed board are pasted with gold leaf, magnificent, and there are various gems, luodian, jade and gold pastel painting to add a lot of color to this bed, the carved content on the decorative bed board is mainly a hundred children, the surrounding is to Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum to show the four seasons of festivity, the mandarin duck butterfly represents a pair of pairs, the front of the eaves of the bed is the most Seiko, there is a magpie Dengmei, there is a dragon and phoenix under the symmetrical door cover, the talent and the beauty just worship on the hanging pillar, the center of the lintel has a unicorn to send the son, the five sons of Dengke, It can be described as a blooming flower. On both sides of the form, the back and the inner wall, the line carving, relief, carving, and round carving are held simultaneously, and the characters are vivid, delicate and lifelike.

Bedroom furniture into a series. The bed is complemented by a double cupboard, a dresser, and a desk. This thousand beds are popular in Jiangnan from the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, at this time the girder is not, but since their two sisters got married, gradually everyone thinks that this thing is really good to look at, but really can make a full set of thousands of beds like their three sisters, but there are not many, now this set of pearl furniture, than the two sisters' set of better materials, more and more luxurious. Coupled with a full set of silk fabrics such as curtains and beds, the people who secretly saw it in the house saw it, and they were all amazed, if the eldest lady did not have a good dowry, she wore a dress and used flowers for ordinary times were given by adults, but this full set of ebony furniture would not be given by adults! So much furniture, embroidery, how to say it will take more than half a year!

Everyone inquired very clearly about the eldest lord's marriage to the Liu family, from how they met, to how the adults of their family used means to rob their disciples, yes, robbed the apprentice's daughter-in-law, this is a big gossip. Let the people in the capital talk about it for a long time, and they all said that this Liu is not only beautiful, but also a talented woman, and the color and art are unique, but gradually they can't hear such rumors, but the people who returned to the capital later, and the news from the relatives in the northeast said that this Liu, people are beautiful, and there are talents, but not singing and dancing talents, but piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, subsets of history, all of which are incomprehensible, the most outstanding is the embroidery, different color double-sided embroidery! That's hard to come by. Not only that, but also extremely intelligent, both civil and military, the Liu family is not an ordinary family at all, and has a very good background. Conduct herself in the world, be thoughtful everywhere, treat people amiably, neither humble nor arrogant, if it weren't for her being so young, everyone would have been able to think that Liu is the old fritter among the women! Buying people's hearts and restraining subordinates, Pearl manages the iron bucket of the entire yamen's backyard, which has to be looked at differently.

The decoration of the house is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is to hire a group of workers to build a greenhouse in the garden, although Yue is a little worried that it will be too late for the New Year, but the pearl just reassures her. The flowers and fruits sent by the pearl are really beautiful, just for these pots of flowers, the Yue family thinks that there should be a banquet, but unfortunately the men in their family are all officials outside, and there are really few such things as banquets. Even if it is the old lady's birthday banquet, it is just a meal for those close to her.

Yue's has no opinion on the matter of Pearl immediately taking over the house, she is not worried about what Pearl will do to her own detriment, and she is not worried about losing her power in the mansion from now on, if she doesn't look at anything else, just look at Pearl's subordinates, how to treat herself, you can see that the subordinates trained by Pearl are all unconventional, just have rules, you know the most basic dignity and humility, and when Pearl is gone, people will still listen to her. Besides, with the big cake waiting there, she doesn't care about the little money in the house, not to mention that she can see that Pearl is doing things, she won't go to the account room at all, what to do, people will do it immediately, this is called a neat rope, this is the willfulness of the rich! It's a warming house, and it's remodeling the kitchen to add an oven, and she's also happy, her sister-in-law's pastries she loves to eat, not to mention how many children?

The things sent from Zhuangzi are all designated by pearls, and the things of pearls are numbered, so there will be no mistakes, and they brought back more than 100 pieces of various fabrics, because they arrived at the main courtyard, so they also brought some gifts that may be used recently, such as Qin Hui's teachers and friends' homes, but it is not a New Year's gift. All gifts are best calligraphy and paintings, or the four treasures of the study, and give a small alarm clock, a small music box, or a hand-held mirror with silver inlaid treasures from the West. There are also many good-looking jewelry boxes, jewelry boxes, and the craftsmanship on them is not a girder at a glance. These are actually modern imitations. Of course, since it is an imitation, of course, ribbons, ribbon flowers and ribbon embroidery are indispensable, as well as jewelry, clocks, pocket watches, jewelry boxes, mirrors, and watches and binoculars made of pearls. Especially the jewelry, the design is very beautiful, the style is unique, of course, some of these jewelry is indeed imported from overseas at this time, the pearls have been reprocessed some, more perfect, some are simply pearls bought from modern imitation of the palace style jewelry. It's also good to take these things out and give them away.

There are also their fans, handbags, gloves, hats, etc., the style is gorgeous, mostly for women, and handbags, which are also very distinctive, the color, the materials, are different from their beams, as a gift, look fresh, but also a kind of emphasis on performance.

Such an informal visit, send some small gifts, plus a little pastry, it would be good, the oven and ingredients of the pearl have begun to be prepared, Qin Hui gave the pearl a list, the pearl has to go back to her mother's house here, to the jade house, the coral house, the coral there is more troublesome, the pearl let people post today, and the things that need to be brought must also be prepared.
