Houfu businesswoman

Chapter 171 Sister Hui appreciates the first bloom of the plum banquet! (2)

I don't know what's going on, Qinhui has always felt this way from the very beginning to now. It's not easy for mother and daughter, but they didn't say it. Qinhui is so busy during this time that Qinhui has no time to ask.

Su Qiu said: "Okay girl, there is no problem at all."

Jin's mother also followed: "It's okay girl, it's been raised for a month, and her body is getting better. It's no problem to go out with the girl."

Seeing that they were so eager and their faces looked good, Qin Hui told Mammy Ye, "Mamma Ye, give them two suitable new clothes, and we'll go out immediately after changing them."

Suqiu and Jin's mother went down to change clothes, Qinhui explained the places that Ye Mama and Xiuyan needed to pay attention to when they went out, and then arranged for Ye Lang to leave a few guards to guard Ye's house, and the inner house was left by Qing Xing and Zhou's mother.

Afterwards, Qin Hui took the four of Ye Ma's master and servant into the carriage, and walked from East Second Street to South First Street where the Dingguo Mansion was located for more than half an hour.

The road went smoothly, but when they arrived at the gate of Dingguo Gongfu, they found that there were too many horses and carriages coming from aristocratic families, and the whole road was blocked.

Madam Ye introduced: "Girl, there are only a few dozen places for the annual flower viewing banquet held by the Duke Dingguo. It is a banquet that every major family is eager to attend, and in previous years it has also contributed to a lot of good luck. Those who can come to this banquet are either rich or noble, and most of them are nobles, so let's wait slowly, the girl doesn't have to worry."

It happened that Ye Lang said outside the car: "Girl, what should I do now? Our carriage can't get in either."

Qin Hui lifted the corner of the curtain and said, "Well, let's wait, it's still early, park the carriage aside, so as not to collide with other houses."

Ye Lang and Cheng An drove the carriage to the side and slowly waited for it to pass. Of course, there were some quarrels in the process. Sister Hui naturally didn't bother to pay attention to such boring things. Fortunately, it didn't take long before they arrived at Duke Dingguo. In front of the second gate of the mansion.

Because a family member had asked whose carriage it was before, Ye Lang replied directly that it belonged to the Ye family, and the family member took Sister Hui's carriage to the side of Ermen.

As soon as Qin Hui got off the carriage, she met Chu Ma who was picking her up, Chu Ma was very happy to see Sister Hui, who was dressed appropriately and dressed in extravagance: "Old slave, please greet Miss Ye, oh no, you are confused by this old slave. , the girl is now the county owner of Chunhui, the old slave is here to congratulate the county owner of Chunhui in advance, our wife has been waiting for a long time, please come here with the old slave."

Qin Hui winked at Nanny Ye, and Nanny Ye stuffed a purse containing 20 taels of silver bills to Nanny Chu, and Nanny Chu didn't refuse, she just smiled and thanked Nanny and took Qin Hui to the door. Go to the inner courtyard of Duke Dingguo's mansion.

Sister Hui also followed Mammy Chu generously, and sighed at the same time that the people who accompany the eldest lady of the aristocratic family are not simple people, just like Mama Chu in front of her.

Although there are no particularly obvious features of Chu Mama's appearance, she has a kind of approachable temperament. It can be seen that it is because of the long time with Shen shi, and it is a bit high to receive people and treat things.

Thinking of this, Sister Hui felt that after she went back, she could see if she could hire a retired mammy or a female official from the palace. Whether it was herself or Xiuyan, they should all have a good training. In training, the manners of receiving people, waiting for things, and walking are all in place.

However, it seems that it is difficult to invite female officials. Since the first emperor, the highest female officials in the palace are of the fifth grade. I heard that only a few people had such honors. Such people can even go out of the palace to marry or do other things. If you want to When teaching, you can go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to go through certain formalities. They all have jade pendants or seals.

There is such a person to teach, and it will be looked at highly among the women of the aristocratic family, and it is definitely a figure of ten, but to the current emperor, I have not heard of such a high-level female official.

So I can only take a chance. With such an idea, Qinhui feels that she should pay attention to this news in the future.

After entering the second door, there is a sedan chair. Qinhui sat on the sedan chair, and the four of them followed. The sedan chair was designed ingeniously. view.

Along the way, Sister Hui had to sigh that the heritage of the century-old family is really an extraordinary scenery, which is amazing and admirable.

Dingguo Gongfu is the Queen Mother's family after all. The overall architectural structure is magnificent and noble, and it is quite restrained. Every plant, wood, stone and pavilion are very delicate, but they are not publicized, and the cultural heritage of the family is revealed everywhere.

And Chu mama occasionally introduced them along the way. For example, there was a pavilion just after entering the second gate. The left side of the couplet on the top was "Xiuzhi is not humble, and the official position is important", and the right side is "Ke's family is in the descendants of virtuous people". The government attaches great importance to the cultivation of family traditions and family training.

Qinhui was appreciating all the way in the sedan chair, and along the way, she also saw very straightforward couplets, "starting a business is hard and thrifty, keeping success is not easy and avoiding luxury", etc. There are many more that will not be introduced one by one here.

Madam Chu said: "Girl, these couplets are handed down from the ancestors of Dingguo Gongfu, and now the eldest man in the mansion also pays attention to these, our eldest lady carefully paints and repairs it every year, in order to set a good example for the younger generation. example."

Qin Hui said with a smile: "Thank you for the introduction, Mother Chu, the family style of Dingguo Gong's mansion is really unusual, and Sister Hui has been taught."

After the introduction all the way by Mother Chu, Qin Hui finally understood. It is no wonder that many people mentioned the Dingguo Gongfu, and they were all praised for their upright style and loyalty and patriotism.

Of course, the Dingguo Gongfu received such attention, and it was not entirely because of the Queen Mother. The Dingguo Gongfu itself was also a very good family, and it cultivated many talents who were useful to the court, and the first emperor did not marry the Queen Mother at first.

About this history, Qin Hui accidentally read a book and mentioned it, and later perfected it when chatting with Ye Mama. It is said that the current emperor is a rare good emperor who works hard in governance, is diligent in government and loves the people.

It's a pity that the five brothers competed for the throne during the late emperor's time. In the end, only the late emperor successfully ascended the throne, relying on the support of the old ministers, Prime Minister Zhu and General Li, as well as the support of some other old ministers, and then successfully ascended the throne.

According to the agreement, after marrying the daughter of the Li family, he fulfilled the promise of the Li family's support for the emperor's ascension to the throne, and sealed the Li family's second-class commander's mansion. Previously, the Li family was the third-class state mansion.

At the same time, the head of the Li family was awarded as a first-class hussar general with a military power of 15. The daughter of the Li family was the queen. In the era of the first emperor, the Li family was a prosperous family.

In order to balance, the first emperor also accepted the daughter of the first-rank Prime Minister Zhu as his concubine. The battle between Zhu Guifei and Empress Li was finally defeated by Zhu Guifei. In the end, Zhu Guifei failed to keep her son and left sadly.

There are also some other powerful officials. It can be said that the late emperor had been fighting against these people all his life. Empress Li was the leader and was jealous and domineering. The harem was smoky. The late emperor fought with several foreign relatives in the previous dynasty. .
