Concubine's plan

Seeing someone coming to inquire, many ladies endured their curiosity and came over, wanting to know more about them.

Because the Xun family members were not familiar with other female family members, Mrs. Shen didn't care what the general's wife was thinking. She went up to say hello and said with a smile:"This is the first time that Mrs. Xun came to the house to wish the old lady a birthday. I will take them Go to the old lady." After saying that, without waiting for others to say anything, he turned around and went ahead.

It was the first time that Mrs. Hu came to the Prefect's Mansion and she felt quite restrained, so she didn't say anything and followed Mrs. Shen out obediently. Xun Yingju didn't like such an occasion, especially the ladies' eyes looking up and down on her body, as if they were trying to strip someone naked, not to find out the result of the investigation, which made people very uncomfortable.

Xun Yingzhujiu was different, her eyes were full of fire, as if she wanted to make friends with these ladies. Xun Yingju on the side could only shake her head helplessly. Xun Yingmei married into Fucheng. The Zhang family was from an average family, and the only thing she could offer was her reputation as a scholar.

The Hu family has never mentioned the situation of the Zhang family, and it is just a vague idea. There is nothing special about it. According to the temperament of the Hu family and Xun Yingzhu, if the conditions of the Zhang family were good, they would have made a fuss about it. Even such an ordinary family has treated Xun Yingmei harshly. If she married into such a wealthy family and met an unreasonable mother-in-law, life would be really difficult.

While Xun Yingju was thinking about it, several people had already arrived at the entrance of the main courtyard. As the old lady with the highest status in the Wei family, she naturally lived in the best courtyard in the Wei family. No one would have any objection to this.

When they came to the door of the main room, two little girls stood around, presumably to hold the curtains for the guests who came to see the old lady. Before Shen could speak, an older girl of sixteen or seventeen years old walked out of the main room. Wearing a pink dress, she wore a tassel hairpin and a jade hairpin on her head, and a silk flower on her temple. The girl has fair skin and is dressed in a rich and noble outfit. She suddenly feels that she doesn't look like the eldest girl in the house, but more like the mistress of the house.

Before Mrs. Shen could speak, the eldest girl smiled and said,"Young madam, is this a distinguished guest?"

"This is the wife of the magistrate of Qingshui County. Mrs. Xun has a good relationship with the fifth and sixth girls in the house. The sixth girl and her second uncle have a good relationship. Today, she is here to pay her birthday to the old lady."Ms. Shen simply introduced the three of them to the visitor, and then said with a smile:"Cuishan is the eldest girl next to the old lady, who is responsible for the old lady's daily life."

Hearing this, Mrs. Hu, Xun Yingzhu and Xun Yingju all had tense expressions on their faces. From then on, the eldest girl who lived the old lady's daily life became a first-class figure in front of the old man, even the masters in the house. You have to be polite, and others will have no reason to be negligent.

"There’s Miss Lao Cuishan."As an elder, Mrs. Hu was the first to say hello. Although she was dissatisfied with Mrs. Shen for detailing the relationship between the Second Young Master Wei and the Sixth Girl. This would greatly affect the reputation of the Xun family girl. There was no way that tomorrow there would be rumors about the relationship between the Second Young Master Wei and the little girl. There is news about something unspeakable between the county magistrate's concubines, but if you want to be on good terms with the Wei family, you can only endure your dissatisfaction.

"Madam, you're welcome. Come in quickly. There's no one in the old lady's room at the moment. Cuishan said clearly.

Xun Yingju couldn't help but secretly praise:"The eldest girl who serves the master in a wealthy family is no less than the person who held an iron rice bowl in a state-owned enterprise in the previous life. Not only is she knowledgeable, but she is also methodical in doing things. This quality is definitely above the standard.""

Before Xun Yingju could think too much, Cuishan had already led Shen, Hu, Xun Yingzhu and Xun Yingju into the main room. There was a soft couch in the middle of the main room and a small wooden table on the couch. Sitting beside the table was a group of people. She is an old lady with gray hair. At first glance, she can tell that she is a blessed person. She is dressed in brocade clothes, both in workmanship and fabric. She wears a jasper jade butterfly chanter on her head and holds a jade skewer in her hand. I think it is a letter. Buddha's old lady's house. There were a few serving girls standing nearby. When a few people came in, the old lady was chatting casually with these girls. When the old lady saw the people coming in, she was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face and asked :"Cuishan, which family do these two little girls come from? Look at their little faces. They look like pink and jade carvings, like porcelain dolls. They look like little virgins next to Bodhisattva. Why have I never seen them before?"

"Old lady, this is the girl from the magistrate's family in Qingshui County. She has never been to our house. You have seen her before. Cuishan knew as soon as she heard that the old lady liked the fifth and sixth girls of the Xun family, and immediately introduced her.

Mrs. Shen also smiled and said:"Old ancestor, the sixth girl of the Xun family is the second uncle who often talks about it. My smart girl, today my second uncle has specially invited you into the house to congratulate you on your birthday and also let you have a look."

After Mrs. Shen finished speaking, Mrs. Hu took the two girls to kneel down and said,"Ms. Hu from the Xun Mansion congratulates the old lady on her birthday. I wish you long life, good luck and good health."

"I wish the old lady longevity and longevity"

"I wish the old lady longevity and longevity."

Xun Yingzhu and Xun Yingju congratulated crisply. Since entering the main room, the two of them have been very well-behaved. They don't dare to play tricks anymore. They obediently follow Mrs. Hu and salute and congratulate.

"Okay, okay, the ground is cold, get up quickly."Old lady Wei is very kind, with a kind smile on her face.

After hearing what the old lady said, the girl standing beside her immediately stepped forward to help the three of them. Someone had already moved the bench over and asked the three of them to sit down. The three of them led The girls who came naturally had to stand by. It was the first time for several girls to come to such an occasion. They lowered their heads and lowered their hands, not daring to look more, let alone talk more.

Seeing the three people doing well, Mrs. Wei smiled and asked:"Who are you?" The girl is the sixth girl that the second brother knows. Come here quickly and let me take a look.

Seeing that the old lady was so anxious, Xun Yingju didn't know why, so she had to get up obediently, took two steps forward, made a girl's salute, and said:"My little girl, Xun Yingju, give my regards to the old lady.""

"Come here quickly."Old Mrs. Wei smiled, took Xun Yingju's hand, and said with a smile:"What a clever little girl. No wonder the second brother invited you over. I heard that you grew a lot of good vegetables at home, which are all grown by us. never before"

"The old lady was ridiculous. Food is the most important thing for the people. Ju Yatou just did what millions of people in the Zhou Dynasty would do. Xun Yingju said modestly.

Although she said this, everyone present understood that this was too modest. People in the Zhou Dynasty did know how to farm, but no one grew peppers and cucumbers. I heard that there were other vegetables. A recent paragraph At that time, peppers and cucumbers were very popular in Fucheng. Anyone who hosted a banquet would be proud to put vegetables with peppers and cucumbers on the table. Guests who came to the banquet would also think highly of the host's family. That's it. , both of which are hard to find in Fucheng.

Sure enough, the old lady said to the big girl beside her:"Look, how humble this little girl is? You have to play it safe. This is our first meeting, so I, an old woman, can't be too stingy."
