Chapter 193 The Imperial Decree is Coming
"Uncle, you don't have to think too much. Just follow the rules. What you get without spending money will never be cherished. Only when you spend money will it be valued. Although I'm not rich, I still have some small amounts of money, but this is not a reason for me to be a sucker."
Qin Ruo said this very straightforwardly. In her concept, the relationship between people is a kind of value exchange.
For example, her and the Xie family. If it weren't for Old Madam Xie who saw her value, would she be so kind as to give her money and a farm just because she was poor?
There are so many beggars outside, why don’t you give it to those beggars who are sleeping in the open air?
For example, she dared to employ the family of Jiang's daughter-in-law regardless of past grudges. Was it because she was magnanimous and repaid evil with kindness?
Naturally not.
Lu Shuiqin is a law-abiding and hardworking person. Her husband Chen Shouzheng is an honest and decent man. Even her son Daniu and daughter Xiaoju are not lazy or slacking people.
It turned out that nothing went wrong when the orchard and the farm were left to them to manage.
There has never been any such thing as embezzlement.
This is the value of Lu Shuiqin's family.
When she was not in Changhe Village, Chen Shouzheng would often deliver a few loads of firewood to the Qin family, or fill the Qin family's water tanks whenever he had time.
These were not his job duties, but he did them. Even if he dug some wild bamboo shoots outside, he would bring some to the Qin family.
So she was happy to give Lu Shuiqin's family additional benefits within an appropriate range.
The Qin family was going to open a clan school, and she took the initiative to mention it to Qin Huaisheng. If Lu Shuiqin's son wanted to learn to read and write, he could be allowed to come.
Not to mention the Zhou family. Just based on the relationship between the two families, Zhou Erzhu must be included.
Zhou Dazhu was brought to Taihe County by him. He first followed Qingsheng to learn the operation and management of the restaurant, and now he is gradually being allowed to get involved in the work at Baicaotang.
"A Ruo, I understand that your uncle was not thoughtful at the time. I will be more cautious in my future actions and will never hold the Qin family back." Qin Huaisheng stood up and said seriously.
A word awakened the dreamer. Qin Huaisheng quickly reviewed his mentality during this period.
So far, Qin Ruo has gradually settled down the younger generation of the clan members.
As long as the Qin family members follow Qin Ruo's steps, they will most likely not have a bad life in the second half of their lives.
"Uncle, please don't blame me for speaking frankly. Let's have some tea first." Qin Ruo's tone softened.
She was quite satisfied with Qin Huaisheng.
Everything that was assigned was taken care of and everything had a response.
Qin Huaisheng is a real capable person. He has strong organizational skills and can win people's hearts. However, he is sometimes too indecisive when dealing with some principled issues.
However, she could also understand that if Qin Huaisheng was really a decisive person, he would not have been suppressed by Qin Zhengde and his gang for so long.
All in all, the Qin family has a long way to go in its development, and it has just begun.
Old Mrs. Qin listened for a long time and nodded frequently.
Sheng Mien, fight against Mien.
Ruo'er led the villagers to grow medicinal herbs and gave them seedlings of new crops, which was a great deed in the eyes of Old Lady Qin.
In the past, which family would not hide their means of making money, for fear that others would steal it?
In the past, when the Qin family was extremely poor, no one sent them food or drink, let alone helped others to study.
The Qin family's life has improved, but they cannot let the boy give away his wealth.
Qin Ruo and Qin Huaisheng's conversation made Qin Zimu even more eager to grow up overnight so that he could share some of the burden with his sister.
After three rounds of tea, Qin Ruo talked about her plan to send Qin Zimu to the academy and that she would be going on a long journey soon.
Although Qin Huaisheng found this incident sudden, he was not surprised.
Given the Qin family's current conditions, sending Qin Zimu to school is only a matter of time.
Qin Huaisheng solemnly stated that he and his clansmen would take care of the family, so Qin Ruo and her brother could go without worry.
"In the future, if you don't have enough money, go to Qin's house and find the accountant to pay. I have already made all the arrangements."
The Qin family now has an accountant who manages the money and goods coming in and out of the mansion, and he had given instructions long before he left.
"There is still some silver left from last time, so don't worry." Since Qin Huaisheng took charge of the ancestral hall and the clan school, Qin Ruo gave him a sum of silver, which has not been used up yet.
Qin Huaisheng said that the money was enough for the time being, so she wouldn't force it on him.
Qin Huaisheng did a good job in this regard. The purpose of each sum of money was recorded clearly, which Qin Ruo could check at any time.
After other matters were arranged, Qin Huaisheng left the Qin family.
In the next few days, Qin Ruo didn't go anywhere and just stayed at home reading books.
Old Mrs. Qin was busy making shoes, making two pairs each for Qin Ruo and Qin Zimu.
After finishing the shoes, he was busy preparing things for Qin Ruo to use on the journey.
Qin Ruo loves to eat the pickled cabbage made by Old Lady Qin, so Old Lady Qin packed a big jar for her.
If Qin Ruo hadn't stopped her, she would have pushed it in.
Knowing that Qin Ruo was going on a long journey, Old Lady Zhou would visit Qin's house every day in the next few days, mainly to see if there was any help she could provide.
Old Lady Qin's behavior was often teased by Old Lady Zhou.
When Zhou Dazhui went to Ganzhou, Zhou Cheng and his wife wanted to take everything they could, which made Old Lady Qin laugh at them for a long time.
Now it's Old Lady Qin's turn, and she's no less capable.
For fear that Qin Ruo would have difficulty acclimatizing to the climate while traveling so far, they filled a large bag with soil.
He also specifically reminded Banxia several times that if Qin Ruo and Tiao Tiao really suffered from acclimatization, he should let Banxia boil water for Qin Ruo to drink.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day before Qin Ruo's departure. Qin Ziyan had also returned from the academy and was chatting with Lord Pan and Secretary Li in the yard, waiting for the banquet to begin.
In addition to Lord Pan and his companion, Qin Ruo also reserved a table for County Magistrate Jiang and the people from the yamen.
The Zhou family was also invited. A group of people were busy in the kitchen. The Qin family was very lively at the moment.
When the banquet was about to start, Captain Yu was seen riding a horse to the Qin family.
Captain Yu informed Lord Pan and the Qin family that a eunuch had come from the capital to deliver the imperial edict to the Qin family, and that he was currently accompanied by County Magistrate Jiang.
Magistrate Jiang sent him over quickly to inform the Qin family and have them prepare to receive the imperial edict. The eunuch who was to deliver the edict arrived in about half an hour.
It is human nature to fear the Emperor, and when Old Lady Qin heard that an imperial edict was coming to her, her legs could not help but go weak.
When Lord Pan heard this, he understood what was going on. It must be the reward for Qin Ruo from the capital.
"Master Pan, Master Li, excuse me. Please sit down for a while. I'll be right back."
After all, he was an experienced person who studied at Luming Academy. Even if he had not eaten pork, he had seen pigs run. Qin Ziyan quickly began to make arrangements.
"Uncle, please arrange for two people to set up the incense table in the hall, and arrange for someone to prepare tea for the eunuch and his entourage who will come to deliver the imperial edict. Grandma, sister, Erlang, you go back to your room and change your clothes now."
Qin Ziyan's actions made Lord Pan nod secretly.
Although I haven't had much contact with Qin Jia Dalang, his ability to handle things is really impressive.
The whole process was calm and there was no panic.
The sons of the Qin family are really all good.
