Chapter 360: Return to Beijing
The army on the grassland has returned, all the work is carried out in an orderly manner, the lottery has also begun to be run in the four northeastern provinces, the effect is good, now the four northeastern provinces have basically reached each town has four primary schools, the productivity has developed greatly, plus the imperial court will hold a free clinic every three months, some perennial sick people, also got some subsidies, which makes the Qin family in the four northeastern provinces can be said to be in full swing. The post-war recovery was good. The food for the winter and the seeds for the coming year have been distributed. Now it's the competition that Pearl Lane is busy with. He really didn't expect that there would be so many people coming to him through the back door.
The Pearl family has now begun to live a normal life again, Kong often follows Pearl's side, and now the whole person is very different from the past, the body is rounded, the complexion is even better, plus the cosmetics given by Pearl, her skin is smoother and more delicate. With Pearl's words and deeds, and learning a lot from Qin Min's masters, it is naturally different from what it used to be. Since experiencing the poisoning incident, Qin Deying has also been a lot closer to her, such a day, but the Kong family never thought of it in the past. The Qin family can be said to be the real king of the Northeast, and in the minds of literati, military generals, and ordinary people, the prestige of the Qin family is very high.
Pearl has a good relationship with the women in the palace, and during the New Year, she gives fur coats, exquisite jewelry, rare foreign goods, exquisite fabrics and jewelry, as well as good tea and wine, and Pearl has a good grasp of getting along with these women.
Although the family is keeping filial piety, the annual etiquette cannot be saved. For the Yue family, the Kong family, the Li family and the Xu family. The gift sent by the pearl is still very attentive. These people do not lack gold and silver, do not lack treasures, and do not lack special products from all over the world, and everyone pays attention to the things behind the gifts. For example, a gift to the in-laws represents the in-laws' love for the Kong family and the importance of the Kong family. The three women in the palace are still not very favored now, but pearls are still gifts for the New Year's holidays, and they are the ones they need and like the most. Good fabrics. Elaborate jewelry, cosmetics and perfumes that others don't have, and silver subsidies with them. None of the three women were favored. Especially Jia Concubine. There is also a prince. The clothing and jewelry funded by pearls gave her a lot of pampering, and her body was recuperated because of the nourishing pill sent by pearls, and her complexion and figure have been greatly improved. The seventh prince's body is also healthier, his temperament has improved a lot, he is not sick, he does not drink medicine, he has made great progress in reading and martial arts, and he has gradually gained the attention of the emperor. Especially the silver ticket that Pearl stole and sent, Jia Concubine sent it quickly, and it was not difficult to reward and buy people. It is even more able to leave some more property to his son, and when he grows up in the future, he will not live without silver, and he can't put up a show, which makes people laugh, Concubine Lin has no doubts about pearls at all, and Zhao Guiren will not feel anything, and now she is not favored, and the things she gives her are intimate and meticulous, and she has nothing to ask for, so the reason for helping herself like this can only be out of family affection and the trust of others. In addition, both the court and the people know that the Qin family is a family of benevolence and righteousness, dedicated to the country and the people. How did they know that the pearls had known their future prominence, and now they were sending charcoal in the snow?
In the days that followed, Pearl put all the time on educating children, and soon, finally out of filial piety, the four northeastern provinces were roughly proper, the treasury was sufficient, industry and commerce were developed, and the maritime trade developed very well, and more foreigners came to Daliang, and more people went out to foreign countries. Nowadays, Western things are not very rare in Daliang. On the contrary, there are many more people who are willing to go out and take risks. The big ship built by the imperial court has been put to sea, and the commissioning stage is very normal, and the pearl's fleet came back last year and brought back more benefits. Pearl did not continue to expand the business, but only monopolized the goods of the upper class, and the middle class, which earned less, gave room to others, otherwise, Pearl feared that he would be hated to death, so that even if Pearl earned a lot of silver, because the volume of middle and ordinary goods was greater, all their income would be more than that of Pearl.
Out of filial piety, I am about to prepare to marry the second child, because of filial piety, the girls are nineteen, and I really can't delay it anymore. It just so happened that **** successfully completed his duties, and when the term of office arrived, the emperor issued an order and transferred back to the capital. So the family started packing and moved two months ago. The last car took **** and Xiaowu, and they left the Northeast.
The second brother-in-law couldn't leave, and now Jade handed over her three sons to the old woman to take with her, and she went to the border with her husband. The old woman of the Liu family is in good health and full of energy, and now she is seriously urging the children to study according to the education plan written by Jade! There is no way, the children of their family are almost the same as the sons born to Mrs. Qin, and the children of other families who know have reached that level, and their daughter-in-law is also both civil and military, which is obvious to all, and there is no one who does not praise. The daughter-in-law said that she was like this at night when she was a child, and now because her son has no one to take care of her at the border, she sleeps in the open air, and the child is not good to go to that bitter cold place, so she has no choice but to stay, so the child's education has to be handed over to her, and the old lady put away her slack heart and resolutely cannot let her grandchildren lose to their cousin.
At this time, it is time to talk about the children of Pearl. The childhood of the three children is very happy, of course, unless you complete your homework, Pearl does not need her sons to earn fame this time, so, it is more after they have a certain foundation, ask questions, and then let them find books, find someone to ask for advice, and write papers for themselves. In terms of martial arts, they are still too young, but they are still very careful in terms of living habits. Their family is not allowed to waste food, and you are not allowed to be picky eaters. The eldest son Qin Deyang is very smart and has unique opinions, and they all say that he is a humble gentleman, a little gentleman! Of course, the water in my stomach is darker than ink.
The second Qin Derong is smart, but he is very persistent, he has to get to the bottom of everything, his thinking is divergent, and he estimates what he will do in the future, it's really hard to say, after all, he hasn't learned martial arts yet! All three children are fond of the art of war, but this is not enough to judge that it is their hobby in the future, because in life, the art of war is very wide-ranging.
The third Qin Dewei is a very old child, very stubborn, meticulous in doing things, and doesn't like to laugh, as if if he laughs, it is equivalent to giving others the opportunity to laugh at him. Although he is smart, he only likes to do mechanical and chemical studies, and it seems that it will be impossible to go out of the cabinet in the future.
The three sons, all taller than other children of the same age, will officially begin to learn martial arts when they return to the capital. Although the two younger grades are one year younger than the elder brother, it will not have a big impact. I simply taught it together.
Coral is also very busy there, Coral gave birth to the eldest son, and gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, Prince Zheng is now a wife slave, and Coral is also very busy now. When they came back, they went to the coral and saw that everything was fine. Now that the two younger brothers are already serving as officials outside, the future is very good, and Liu He is now mixing well in the army.
The Qin family has no old lady, Qin Ming and Qin Wang are now both officials outside, the world is different, the children are all older, they have already been sent to the Egret Academy to study, and those who are good at martial arts also went to General Yue's house. Now the relationship between the Yue family and the Qin family is really iron. It's just that when Pearl came back, Han and Yue immediately sent their daughters from the family, saying that they were learning the rules from their eldest aunt, which made Pearl really cry and laugh, but they couldn't shirk it, because since the three of them did business together, they had a good relationship like sisters, although they were not in the same place, but there were a lot of letters to and fro. Since it was delivered, the pearl could only be entertained.
Qin Min is about to turn fourteen, and he will prepare for the next year. The second lady, Qin Mei, is now twelve, and it is also a critical time, although the Han family also pays attention to teaching, but compared with Qin Min, it is too much worse. The third lady Qin Yan is a concubine, and the fourth lady Qin Xiao is also a concubine, but now they are all recorded in the name of the Yue family, and they have been raised by the Yue family since they were children, and now one is eleven and the other is nine years old. Miss Wu is Miss Qin You, the daughter of the Han family, and she is also eight years old this year. Just get together a class.
Qin Min is now not angry and self-assured, a dignified and beautiful qualified official lady, with elegant appearance, dignified manners, generosity, and a combination of rigidity and softness, but everything that her daughter's family knows, such as her fine, and her daughter's family can't, is also understood by her. For example, martial arts, the art of war, troop arrangement, cavalry archery, strategy, water conservancy and agriculture, etc., even men may not be her opponents. Although he rarely attended banquets, Qin Min's talent and virtuous name were widely spread. After coming to the capital, those who had never seen Qin Min thought that it was just a rumor deliberately released by the people of the Qin family in order to find a good in-law for Qin Min.
When Pearl returned home, the servants had already cleaned the mansion. After a few girls came in, Pearl gave them a total of a courtyard, and the study room originally prepared for the young masters was now used by a few young ladies. Originally, the study room was used for the young masters, and there was a large classroom, but now, Pearl has changed the other rooms to other uses, because the children are big and small, and the content may not be the same when teaching, so it is separated. There are also embroidery rooms, painting rooms, and chess rooms. The teachers invited are also carefully selected, and the grandmothers don't need it, since they were two years old, they have invited educated grandmothers and nurses to the daughters of several Qin families through pearls, and they have all been sent away.
When the little girls came, they were a little scared when they saw the pearl, because the name of the pearl was too prominent, but fortunately, after a long time together, they were not afraid. Pearls are generous, and they are also concerned about children's clothing, antiques and treasures, and they are never stingy with children's things. Unlike the Han and Yue clans, Pearl attaches more importance to the cultivation of their own abilities, which is the most important course, teaching them how to discipline their subordinates, how to manage the shop and the Zhuangzi. Rules and the like, the girls of the Qin family have no problem, and the grandmothers who spent a lot of money to invite from the palace are not decorations. Therefore, although the daughters of the Qin family are not the same age, they all have their own elegance and their heads are not empty.
After returning to Beijing, he also knew that he was not suitable for going out, and if he went to other places, the emperor would be wary, so he smoothly entered the cabinet and managed the household department. The job is much easier than it used to be. (To be continued.) )
