The general's wife through time

Chapter 97 Educating Qin Mingyue

Qin Mingrui and Qin Mingshu felt that they were right about today's speculation about the prosperity of their family and everything. The root cause of their miserable life in the past was the elder brother's perfunctory treatment of his elder sister-in-law.

But they didn't dare to make any rash moves, for fear of hurting their eldest brother's heart if they made a mistake. Although his eldest brother was strict, he was sincerely kind to them, and it wasn't his fault that he was away from home all year round. After all, the border clearance needs he.

After a short discussion, the two decided to discuss it with Butler Qin.

In the school, after Butler Qin analyzed everything about the past five years for them, they began to waver again and felt that there was something wrong with their past sister-in-law.

Butler Qin gave a pertinent suggestion, "Let them resolve their affairs as husband and wife themselves. If you think my wife is good now, just treat her well."

Although he said this, Butler Qin did not think that the general was at fault, but he still criticized his wife in the past. But everything must be moved forward, and he must set an example. Let those past events go with the wind!
The two nodded.

Qin Mingrui: "Wait a minute. I'll go find Lao Si and Qin Mingyue and tell them not to be impulsive or self-defeating."

"No, Aunt Yu said, madam, madam is taking the eldest lady out!" Grandma Wang's voice sounded like thunder at the door.

Despite his age, he is still so unstable. Butler Qin glanced sideways at Grandma Wang and said, "Go out as soon as you go out. It's not like Madam hasn't taken the eldest lady out with her before."

"No, I heard that Madam went to an acquaintance to buy copybooks."

Got it!

Butler Qin's heart suddenly sank.

Everyone knows that the acquaintances who can write and draw are the poor scholars who were captured and raised by Qin Mingyue before and were killed miserably.

However, it was Qin Lu who came forward to deal with them and help them make money before.

Those people might just be surprised to see the madam at first sight, but when they see the eldest lady, aren't they the enemies who are extremely jealous when they meet her?

Qin Mingshu: "I'll chase after you and take a look!"

Qin Mingrui: "I'll go too!"

After being frightened for a while, Butler Qin quickly regained his composure, quickly grabbed the two brothers, turned around and asked Grandma Wang, "Is Qin Lu following?"

Grandma Wang wiped her sweat and nodded, "I went with him and brought five guards with me."

Hearing this, Qin Mingshu felt relieved.

Those people totaled only eight.

Even if there was a fight, one on one, the General's Mansion would definitely win, not to mention having such a powerful sister-in-law here.

Butler Qin: "Those people have been calmed down now. I went over to take a look. The main thing is to appease those people and stop causing trouble. It is not appropriate for the two young masters to go."

If more people go, they may disturb the other party, and those people's current residence is arranged by Butler Qin, so Butler Qin can talk more. After thinking briefly, Qin Mingrui nodded and said, "Please, Butler Qin, if anything happens, send someone back to inform us."

On the other side, Qin Lu drove a carriage and arrived at the door of a bookshop with ease.

Xue Tang opened the curtain and saw the plaque on the bookstore: Jieyou. She thought casually: Why can't the only way to relieve worries is reading?

Qin Lu drove the carriage around the backyard and said, "This place used to be the dowry of the old lady. It was originally selling cloth and ready-made clothes. Later, the old lady felt that it was not easy for the students who came to Beijing to take the exam, so she made room here. The book store does not make money from the books sold here. It is free to read books here. It also has two waiters, just to provide hot water for people who come to read books for convenience. Originally, there were only three rooms in the backyard. , three beds. In order to avoid unnecessary disputes, no form of accommodation is provided to the outside world. In order to accommodate those students, namely Nie Yun and Wu Feng, the general specially asked Butler Qin to stay in the three rooms. There are fire pits set up inside, and each room can sleep at least five people."

Qin Mingyue also saw the book store and suddenly said: "No wonder I couldn't find them when I came back. It turned out that my eldest brother hid them here."

Xue Tang: "I found it, what else do you want to do?"

Her tone was tepid, and she didn't distinguish between joy and anger.

Qin Mingyue was afraid of such a sister-in-law, so she whispered: "Don't do anything. My aunt's good deeds were almost destroyed by me. I know I was wrong."

Xue Tang asked Qin Lu: "What do those people usually do? Since I am here today, I will ask clearly to see if there is anything that has not been arranged properly, so that I can arrange it."

In fact, Qin Lu had reported to her before, and she asked Qin Mingyue on purpose.

Qin Mingyue pursed her lips, "We have to wait until next year for the imperial examination, so we can't support them in vain, right? It's not that I don't want to give up the money, it's that those people will really become more and more useless the more they are raised."

Qin Lu: "The general said that it was reasonable for the eldest lady to look down on them at the beginning. They came from a poor family, but all of them were indifferent to the four bodies and five grains. They could hardly take care of themselves. They were as weak as chickens and entered the examination room. I'm afraid I won't be able to survive the hardship and will faint inside."

Qin Mingyue straightened up, her eyes brightening. See, it's not all her fault, those people are really useless.

Hear Qin Lu continue: "So the general asked me to arrange for people to keep an eye on them. They have to get up early every day to exercise, and then go to the vegetable patch in the backyard to grow vegetables to support themselves. In the afternoon, let them study and study. They can have whatever books they want in the library." Look, you just can’t doze off, otherwise our people will prick them with needles to wake them up, let them go to bed early at night, and let them go shopping every seven days. Among the eight people, Nie Yun and Wu Feng have recently behaved The best, not only can you plan your life reasonably without us having to worry about it, but you also read the most books every day and are very efficient. That’s why my subordinates chose the two of them to go out to do the business of drawing notebooks, and they will finish the drawings when they come back. The task of writing notes in the notebook is divided up and everyone completes it together, so the amount of money earned by each person is different. Two people are jealous and have recently encouraged others to exclude Nie Yun and Wu Feng."

Qin Mingyue: "Sister-in-law, listen, who are these people? You can't make much money from a painting book, and there are only eight people in total. You can still be jealous. Such a character has passed the test. In the future, you can What kind of good official is he?"

Xue Tang: "Good or bad, good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and there are laws to restrain them. What they are like has nothing to do with you originally, but just because you intervened in their cause and effect, your eldest brother and the entire General Mansion are now in trouble. We need to take care of them, at least to ensure that they can successfully take the imperial examination next year, but this is not the main thing, so the series of things involved are the key."

Qin Mingyue's big eyes were full of doubts, "We are all under surveillance, what else can happen?"

Xue Tang: "It is also wrong to take too much care. If there is a grudge against a rival, the General's Mansion cannot take care of them forever, and it will no longer protect them in the future. If something happens to them, it will probably be blamed on the General's Mansion for not taking good care of them. Have you ever thought that if they fail to pass the exam next year, on the other hand, they could have passed the exam this year, all because you delayed their lives. How can you bear this responsibility? If they all pass the exam, officialdom will be at your whim. If the people at the helm mistakenly think that they are staff cultivated by the General's Mansion and form cliques, which will ruin the reputation of the General's Mansion in the future and make people above them suspicious, what should the General's Mansion do? These are just three of the many situations, and there are There are many worries that we may not even think about.”

In fact, these things are nothing to Xue Tang. She only said these to guide Qin Mingyue to learn to think carefully. After this period of time, Qin Mingyue's reckless temperament has not changed much, so she has to put more thought into it.

Qin Mingyue was stunned.

Yeah, she hadn't thought about this before.

That's not right, sister-in-law, you didn't say that before.

You said at the beginning that she was doing this to share the worries of the court. If a few capable men and women were beaten out under her whip, you would still help her promote this practice!

Xue Tang caught a glimpse of her expression and guessed what she was thinking about what the original owner said before, and said calmly: "I'm not denying your view of the overall situation, but you must first be capable before you are qualified to think more. You can do more. Being poor means being alone. Now that your abilities are stretched thin, taking care of yourself is the first priority. Only a person with both ability and political integrity like Lord Shangguan has the ability to share the worries of the court. These eight people, I will help you The cooking is done, just follow me and watch, and remember to be more careful when talking and doing things in the future."

Qin Mingyue nodded obediently.

After the incident between Yuan Weiming and Weishengmiao, her eldest sister-in-law taught her a little by words and deeds. This kind of treatment was something the three people in the family couldn't ask for!
