Hearing Qin Min say this, Pearl was also taken aback, without him, because Pearl really forgot about the Gu family, as a stepmother, the matter of going to the Gu family can't be neglected, of course, it's nothing if you don't go, as long as you don't stop Qin Min from going, I haven't heard of anyone's steproom taking his ex-wife's maiden family seriously, it's not enough to respond to people? However, Pearl also knew that she needed to make a trip.

For the ancient family, the pearl is naturally very detailed in the investigation, the ancient family is also a big family, but in the two generations of the family, there are no good talents, the highest official is only the fourth grade, and it is also in the Ministry of Rites, that is, Qin Min's cousin, this relationship is not a little worse, the person in charge of the house is also the cousin's parents, Qin Min's maternal grandfather and grandmother Although the house is long, but the family and the clan are some of the people in the second room, Qin Min's uncle is now just in the year of the weak crown, because of the average talent, Now he is just a Xiucai, and there is an uncle who is a concubine, and he is also a Xiucai, and he is now seventeen years old. are all raised by Gu's parents. The other rooms of the Gu family are thriving, but Qin Min's mother has passed away, although the grandparents take care of their granddaughter, but they also have a lot of inconveniences, not to mention that the old lady of the Qin family is an extreme person, and after a few times, she did not make Qin Min happy, did not let Qin Min get better care, and even some good things were robbed, so Qin Min naturally had no good life.

But now that she has a stepmother, although Qin Min is still young, she can also feel that her stepmother is generous, acts above board, and does not let her eyebrows go. Although going to rent her parents' house is not a happy thing, nor is it beneficial, but her grandparents and uncle's care and love for her are sincere, so Qin Min proposed to go to the Gu family this time.

Pearl knew that she was negligent, her expression slowed down, and she said to Qin Min, who was a little trembling, "That's your foreign home, so naturally you want to go, tell your mother, what does your grandmother like?" What did my grandfather like? What are the preferences of the two uncles? In addition to them. I heard that there seem to be many children of the same age as you in the Gu family. Min'er and her mother have a good talk, and her mother can also prepare gifts. ”

Qin Min's eyes widened, a little strange, and asked directly. "My mother knew that I had two uncles. I also know that my grandfather's family has several children of the same age as me. I should have investigated it a long time ago, so why do you still ask me? ”

Pearl didn't get angry and said with a smile. "The survey was told by outsiders, but they only gave me information as a reference, and sometimes, some small things are inaccurate. Again, they are all your relatives, but gifts between relatives, one to be satisfied with each other, can experience your mind, these two, to give gifts, the most taboo is to distinguish between distant and close relatives, plus, brothers and sisters in the house, the difference between the descendants is also very important, what is the important thing, you should also tell me, then, we take gifts, together to see your grandparents, in order to enjoy the guests and hosts, and then can close the relationship between the two families, right? ”

Qin Min listened to this, nodded incessantly, and then began to talk to Pearl about the Gu family, the Gu family has a total of three rooms, the big room is grandpa, grandma Chen, grandpa Gu Tongzhi, once in the Guozijian, and then placed his affection on the landscape, and he is also very kind on weekdays, grandma has a good temper, the most gentle, my eldest uncle is studying, and he is going to take the exam, and his aunt Fan is very powerful, helping grandma and grandpa to take care of the house, my little brother is three years old this year, with a big temper and great strength, grandpa and grandma are raised by his side, and he is very strict. The second uncle is also studying, but he is about to get married. The two uncles were still very good to me. The second grandfather is an official of the Ministry of Rites, and the second grandmother and my grandmother are half-sisters, but they don't seem to be in harmony, and the second grandmother is also ...... to me The third uncle Gu Lian is studying in the Guozijian, the fourth uncle Gu Jue is the same age as the third uncle, but he is from the literature, I heard that he has been admitted to Wu Xiucai, he is very tall and burly, and the aunt is ten years old, called Gu Furong, because she looks good, she is very favored, and I heard that she will be sent to the palace to be a nobleman in the future! The second aunt, Gu Tao'er, is a concubine, she is very good to me, and she looks good, but I heard the former nurse say that she will be sent to someone to be an aunt in the future.

The third grandfather Gu Baizhi served as a seven-grade official in the Guozi Prison, and the third grandmother Chu's family was an official and businessman in the past, and she was a concubine, but she had a lot of dowry, so the third aunt Gu Xing'er was the best to wear, the same age as me, but she was not good to me. There is also a fifth uncle, only five years old, named Gu Qi, who is fat......"

Pearl listened, there was a plan in his heart, the big house has declined, the eldest son has not yet been lifted, the second son is a concubine, although he was raised with his sister-in-law, but there is nothing brilliant, he treats Qin Min very kindly, it is said that it is because the two uncles have been raised together by the eldest sister since childhood. There are people in the second room who are now officials in the court, and the third young master Gu Qiong is now twenty years old, it is said that he is a little arrogant, and he is going to participate in the Spring Festival this year, and he doesn't care much about Qin Min, Qin Min has no impression of him. After all, the fourth young master has a future, Wuju people, named Gu Jue, is very burly and tall, although he is a concubine, but his biological mother died early and is recorded in the name of his mother. There is some pity for Qin Min, which can be heard from Qin Min's words. The remaining eldest lady Gu Furong is ten years old, and the second lady Gu Taoer is a concubine, good looking, but with a bad background and thinness, it is conceivable that it should be a thin horse type in Yangzhou, otherwise she would not say that she would be given away as a concubine in the future. The eldest lady is good-looking, but because she is an elder and is favored, she stabbed Qin Min with a lot of words. The third young lady of the third master's family doesn't talk much, but she has a big temper, her mother Chu's family is an official businessman, her mother has a dowry, her dress is naturally good, the fifth young master Gu Qi is only five years old, but she is fat and has brute strength, and Qin Min is also hiding. In this way, the second lady Gu Tao'er has a good impression of Qin Min, and listening to Qin Min's meaning, it is not because of sympathy, but because Qin Min is willing to befriend her, and the two become friends.

Pearl asked about food, clothing, housing and transportation again, and probably had a plan in her heart, and soon, the carriage arrived at the door of Liu's house. Pearl took Qin Min out of the car, his father, grandfather and uncle, two younger brothers and cousins were all there, Pearl was very happy, smiled and said a few words to his father and younger brothers, and then walked in together. On the second door, the Fang family had already brought the Jin family, a somewhat embarrassed mother-in-law, as well as two daughters and a cheap 'granddaughter' to greet them! I met Fang's and Jin's grandmothers, Aunt Zhou and two younger sisters, cousin Qiaogu, and the third sister's stepdaughter Jiahui. Pearl really didn't expect it.

The ladies of the family, from the Jin family to Qiaogu, are all wearing brocade fur capes and gold ornaments on their heads, and they look like they are really rich and noble. Pearl introduced Qin Min to everyone, and then took Pearl to see Old Man Liu again, Old Man Liu was very happy to see Pearl, the old man was in good health, and it is estimated that he can live longer than his previous life. He was wearing a royal blue Fushoutuan chipmunk gray jacket, holding a large cigarette pouch and pot in his hand, and a brocade purse hanging from the cigarette pouch pole, and the mouth of the cigarette pouch was still jade. There is still a jade pendant on his body, seeing that the pearl came over with Qin Min, Qin Min kowtowed to the old man, and the old man Liu was very happy, this is a serious official lady, and the honorable county lord is not bad, so people sent a gift that had been prepared a long time ago, a purse, and I don't know what to put it.

Qin Min saw Liu Da, Liu Tongsuo and Liu Tiesuo on the side again, and they all gave gifts, because they were all in their purses, Qin Min couldn't take them out and look at them, so they were directly handed over to the people behind him.

After that, it was the world of the female dependents, Pearl took Qin Min to her mother Fang's courtyard, the Jin family had already gone back in the courtyard, and the Zhou family was sitting next to Fang's, wearing a purple placket stand-up collar satin gown, with a gilded hairpin on his head, a golden plum blossom hairpin, silver earrings on his ears, and a red gold bracelet on his wrist. There is also a gemstone ring on the finger, this thing is not valuable in the pearl here, every year to the capital to send a gift, now there is also an uncle's family, so Zhou's several sets of jewelry, although not the precious style of gold wire inlay, but also gold silk, silver gilt, or inlaid with crystal, agate and other jewelry to resist the gem head. If it is a gift for a small holiday, not a complete set of jewelry, it must be a single piece of fine workmanship and beautiful style, Zhou's baby is general, and even his daughter is not given. Liu An is now older and has grown academically. It's time to think about starting a family, and after the exam this fall, it's going to give him Zhang Luo's marriage, all of Zhou's hands are very tight now, and the jewelry, fabrics and other items sent by the pearl sisters are too good for her, so naturally she has to keep the bottom of the box, and there will be no money in her hand in the future, and the new daughter-in-law who enters the door is afraid that she will look down on it!

Qiaogu got the attention of Pearl, pulled Qiaogu over, touched her pulse, and said with a smile, "It's been four months?" ”

Qiaogu nodded a little shyly, and then hurriedly asked, "Eldest sister, what's wrong?" ”

"Fortunately, as long as it continues like this, it is no problem to give birth to a fat son smoothly, but you must remember that nothing is a matter, especially a matter of money, even more so, you have a cousin of a princess, two cousins with a fate, brothers, cousins have achieved something in their studies, the rise of the Liu family is inevitable, your good days are ahead, in the future, their Ming family, and even Ming Qian, will have to look at your face, what are you worried about, what are you afraid of? But there is only one thing you need to care about, that is, the heir, you don't have a son, no matter how good your mother's family is, it is useless to you, you are still not happy, and you even have to give Ming Qian a concubine, what can you do at that time? The Liu family has no choice, and there is no reason to stop others, as long as you give birth to a son and take care of your body, what kind of concubine? What are the rules? They don't think about it! Do you understand? "Pearl looks at Qiaogu's dress in general, with a red gold hairpin wrapped with silk and a ruby beaded head flower on her head, which is the finishing touch, but it is also given by Pearl. Seeing that Qiaogu's face was not smeared with grease powder, this was written in the pregnancy manual copied by Pearl, so Pearl could see that her face was not so healthy, and everyone in the family had that booklet, and Qiaogu also brought a copy when she got married, but unfortunately she didn't help her keep her first child.
