Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 133 The hidden secrets of the Qin brothers and sisters

Song Jinyue glanced around the crowd and realized that the servants from Shen's courtyard had not come.

She looked at Jiao Ming, motioned for her to come closer, and then said: "Jiao Ming, please remember all the people who came today and where they are working."

"yes."

There was a maid nearby who had already arranged tables, chairs and pens.

Jiao Ming has read some books and knows how to write.

Perhaps it was because there was no one in Shen's courtyard, but the women and maids who came today all respectfully followed the second lady's instructions and came forward one by one.

Not long after, all the housekeepers in the main hall had completed their registration, and there was a thick pile of paper in front of Jiao Ming.

Song Jinyue was extremely satisfied and asked everyone to leave first.

Then he returned to Mingzhuxuan with his things.

From time to time, Song Jinyue would ask Qiu Yun to inquire at the concierge to see if Manager Song had returned.

Now that the Shen family has lost its status in the Duke's Mansion, naturally it can no longer interfere.

I haven't invited a boy from my grandmother's house to come, so that I can stabilize the situation and not let anyone take advantage of me.

Since she came back, she has not tried to bring back the people who were around her mother.

After saying this, Qin Wan's eyes were slightly red, she lowered her head and her body was trembling slightly.

Song Jinyue and Jiao Ming walked in.

Food was brought from the large kitchen, but Song Jinyue used it hastily and had the table cleared.

"Actually, before my father died, he told us that he was just our adoptive father. Our biological father was in the capital..."

Ever since she took Qin Sheng out of the examination room that day, Song Jinyue had already guessed that Qin Sheng would definitely be on the list this time.

It's not that she doesn't believe the young servants in the Duke's Mansion, it's just that she's dealing with uncles from the clan.

Qin Wan didn't hide anything from her and nodded, with a hint of uneasiness hidden in her eyes, "I'm worried that if my brother fails to make the list this time, we will have to go back to Dingzhou..."

Song Jinyue looked at the loneliness in Qin Wan's eyes and said, "It's okay. At worst, I will rent another courtyard for you brothers and sisters in Anfu Hutong and take the exam next year."

Therefore, over the years, no matter how I treat my uncles in the clan, I have always followed the rules set by my ancestors, which is that every year the Duke's government must donate 10,000 taels of silver to the clan.

Qin Wan's eyes darkened, and she lowered her eyelids to suppress the haze in her eyes. When she raised her eyes again, she was suddenly enlightened, and softly recounted her past with her brother.

Song Jinyue nodded slightly and went straight to the main room without stopping. The maid waiting at the door hurriedly opened the curtain.

Song Jinyue ordered Manager Song to send someone to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing to bring back the mother-in-law and maidservants who had served her mother before she was alive and continue to serve her.

Counting the time, Manager Song can make a round trip in less than half a day, and he should be able to return home by nightfall.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and Song Jinyue's heart became confused.

If you don't want to, you can still stay in Zhuangzi to retire.

Father is no exception.

Song Jinyue was unhappy, did Shen make trouble again?

Song Jinyue frowned slightly, not understanding the meaning.

Qiu Yun went to the concierge to see if Manager Song had returned, but she had not yet returned to Ming Zhuxuan.

Qin Wan continued: "But my father left before he finished speaking... The uncles and aunts around him didn't know about it either. Therefore, my brother wanted to go to high school early and wait until he got an official position in the capital before he secretly inquired about our parents.

.”

Not counting the servants in Shen's courtyard, there are hundreds of people in the Duke's mansion.

Qin Wan also accompanied Song Jinyue back and forth to look at the door of Mingzhuxuan because her brother would release the results tomorrow.

Song Jinyue was just about to say a few words of advice.

Seeing Qin Wan's troubled face, Song Jinyue understood that she might have something to hide, and then shook her head and said, "It's okay."

There were women and maids from the Duke's mansion, as well as some unfamiliar young men, presumably brought by uncles from the clan.

"Your brother will definitely go to high school this time!" Song Jinyue raised her hand and patted Qin Wan's back gently and said.

When Song Jinyue turned around and saw Qin Wan, she couldn't help but chuckle. Then she pulled Qin Wan into the room and said, "Are you worried about your brother?"

Passing through the black-lacquered wooden frame screen embroidered with landscapes, I walked past the black-lacquered Duobao lattice shelves.

He was afraid that he would have a dispute with his clan members and go to the Yamen, which would damage his official career in front of the emperor.

The emperor attaches great importance to filial piety, and most of the officials of this dynasty are devoted to their clan.

When the mother-in-law of the Duke's Mansion saw the second young lady coming, she hurriedly saluted.

When Song Jinyue and Jiao Ming arrived at Aunt Tian's courtyard, they saw many people standing in the courtyard.

Song Jinyue entrusted Qin Wan to find Qiu Yun and asked her to go to Zhang's house and ask her aunt to send her some servants.

She also believed that her brother would not disappoint her.

Qin Wan raised her head, wiped the tears from her face, tugged at the corners of her lips, tried her best to squeeze out a smile, and nodded firmly.

Behind the three old men stood five elders who were about the same age as their father.

It was inevitable that someone would stumble and hurt the uncles in the clan secretly, which would be inappropriate.

After all, she didn't want innocent people to die in vain at the hands of Shen.

My father has never treated the clan badly, and he regularly donates ten thousand taels of silver to the clan every year.

Jiao Ming's words were like a bolt from the blue, and Song Jinyue's heart was in chaos.

Only then did she feel relieved to bring the person back.

The handkerchief in his hand was twisted into a ball, and he felt nervous.

She just made a rule that every steward must come to her within ten days to report their account books.

Qin Wan shook her head and said: "Miss Song misunderstood. It's not that I hate the prosperity and wealth of the capital, nor that I despise the poverty of Dingzhou, but..."

Song Jinyue saw three old men with gray beards sitting in the room. Mrs. Song was sitting at the head, Mrs. Shen was sitting below the old lady, and Aunt Tian stood timidly behind Mrs. Shen.

She had previously instructed the housekeepers everywhere to keep the monthly expenses unchanged and to pay as usual.

She frowned and looked at the door of the room, only to see Jiao Ming running in with a panic look on his face. Before she could ask, Jiao Ming hurriedly greeted her and said in a hurry: "Second Miss, it's not good, please go to Aunt Tian's courtyard quickly."

Go!"

Jiao Ming shook his head repeatedly, took a few deep breaths, and then said anxiously: "It's the master of the clan who came to make trouble!"

Then I heard Qin Wan continue to say: "Brother said that he wanted to ask his parents why they left us brothers and sisters..."

Because Shen is in charge of the family, my father values ​​Shen.

The uncles and elders in the clan don't often come to visit.

"Second Miss."

It’s just that conditions didn’t allow it at that time.

"Is it Shen?"

Because Manager Song had not returned yet, Song Jinyue had no choice but to take Jiao Ming to Aunt Tian's courtyard.

Because of the past events, the elders in the clan neither wanted to admit that they had ignored the Duke's government, nor did they want to lose the government's backing.

On weekdays, he never visits.

Song Jinyue didn't know these people.

She walked towards the old lady step by step.

When he was still a few steps away from the old lady, he stopped, saluted, and called in turn: "Grandma, mother, Aunt Tian..."

Her eyes fell on the old people in the room, and she looked at the old lady suspiciously, "Grandma, these are..."
