Concubine's plan

Since everyone was really tired today, the cook prepared meals and delivered them to everyone's room. Mother Hu, Xun Yingmei and Xun Yingzhu, mother and daughter, ate together, while Xun Yingju and Lu Shaoyuan ate together.

It was said that Xun Yingju didn't understand many ancient rules, so she took this opportunity to ask Lu Shaoyuan. After the two sat down, Lu Shaoyuan looked at the little girl in front of him with interest and didn't ask any more questions. He remained silent throughout the meal.

Xun Yingju, who was accompanying him, was very anxious. She lamented that this man was so well-behaved, but at the same time she didn't know how to ask, so she had to finish her meal first.

After the meal, Yusheng put away the dishes, made a pot of hot tea, and finally stood aside obediently. At this time, Lu Shaoyuan still had no intention of asking. Xun Yingju secretly hated this man for being too sinister, so she had to bite the bullet. Take the initiative to ask, 'Ahem. Before he opened his mouth, he coughed twice, cleared his throat, forced a smile, and asked:"Brother Lu, how much do you know about Fucheng?""

"I know everything I need to know and some things I shouldn’t know. What do you want to ask about?"The corners of Lu Shaoyuan's mouth curled up slightly, and he said calmly.

Once the topic started, the rest of the matter became much easier to handle. Xun Yingju was no longer embarrassed and simply told her about meeting Yu Mei at today's banquet. Of course, Yu Mei invited her to attend the Yu family's flower viewing party. The matter was discussed, and he finally said:"I don't know the Yu family at all, and I don't know their usual interpersonal relationships. If I go there and offend someone, I don't know it."

"You're doing a great job of keeping your head clear at this time."It's rare for Lu Shaoyuan to praise someone. It's already rare to be able to comment on Xun Yingju like this today. Seeing that the little girl didn't show any pride, he was very curious. It's already rare for a teenage girl to have such a character. Continue Said:"The Yu family is the largest cloth merchant in Dazhou. Regardless of the cloth material or cloth pattern, they can produce the best in Dazhou. Just a little bit, without a strong relationship, it is impossible to be an imperial businessman."

Xun Yingju understands this very well. The shopping mall is like a battlefield. If you don't have a strong background and want to squeeze into a higher level, you are not going to make money, but to lose your life.

"The Yu family often communicates with each other in Fucheng, and most of the people with whom they have good relationships are businessmen. At the same time, Mr. Yu wants to have a good relationship with Shen Changshi and intends to marry him, so the relationship between Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Shen is also good."

With this information, Xun Yingju probably understood that the Shen eldest son should get married. Then there are two possibilities for marriage. One is that Shen Yujiao marries into the Yu family, and Yu Mei marries into the Shen family. The first scenario is unlikely. , as the saying goes, a girl should marry high. According to today's situation, the Shen family will definitely marry Shen Yujiao high. Even if she cannot marry high, she still needs to be an official family, and will not marry down into a merchant's family. Then the second situation is possible. Sexuality is relatively big.

Yu Mei married into the Shen family and became the second young wife of the Shen family. Shen Yan had no interest in officialdom and liked to do business. The two families in the officialdom had strong financial resources, which were enough to support Shen Changshi and Young Master Shen to show their talents in the officialdom. Officialdom On top of that, the Shen family can also help the younger members of the Yu family who want to pursue an official career. Thinking about it this way, the collusion between government and business is really perfect. When she attends the flower viewing banquet in a few days, she will have to lower her sense of presence. She can't be too showy and rob Yu. The radiance of Mei and Shen Yujiao made people feel bored.

After introducing these, Lu Shaoyuan stopped talking and observed the little girl's performance carefully. He found that Xun Yingju was in a very calm mood. Sometimes she frowned slightly as if she was in trouble; Calm, as if he had thought of a solution. In short, he did not ask another question during this period of time.

In the end, Xun Yingju smiled and said:"Aristocratic families, every simple"

"Children in aristocratic families are just tools for family development and marriage. They cannot control their own destiny and can only be manipulated by their elders."Lu Shaoyuan said.

Listening to this tone, Xun Yingju felt a sense of powerlessness and desolation, and asked with some suspicion:"Isn't it true that Brother Lu can't decide his own destiny?"

"Haha, I am just a person who has been rejected by my family. Speaking of this, Lu Shaoyuan was obviously not very interested, and said:"If you don't talk about this anymore, do you want me to accompany you to the flower appreciation party that day?""

A variety of accidents often occur at such banquets. Many girls fall into the water inexplicably and are rescued by boys. If such a thing happens, the girl's reputation will be ruined. Even if she doesn't want to marry the boy, she still has to marry him. Married.

Similarly, if a boy doesn’t want to marry a girl, he has to marry her and raise her at home. Not only will such a marriage not be happy, it might even become a bitter couple.

Xun Yingju, who has read countless online articles, naturally understands what may happen at these banquets. It's nothing, but she thought that a ten-year-old girl would not be missed by others. Even so, she was very happy to have someone accompany her and said with a smile:"It's naturally good to have Brother Lu go with us."

"Miss Six, a man claiming to be the steward of the Yu family came to deliver gifts at the gate of the house."While the two were chatting, a housekeeper reported at the door of the room.

"Invite people to the main hall in the front yard and treat them well. I will go there immediately. Practitioner Xun Yingju went to do some work. Xun Yingju turned to look at Lu Shaoyuan and said with a smile:"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here soon. Brother Lu, let's go there together?" See what the Yu family sent?"

"That's fine."Of course Lu Shaoyuan would not refuse.

Xun Yingju went back to the house and returned her clothes and simple hair. After confirming that there was no problem and that she would not be rude, she came out of the house. As soon as she went out, she saw Lu Shaoyuan waiting in the courtyard, without any impatience.

The two of them stood silently listening to the sound of rain. The three of them arrived at the front yard. As soon as they reached the door of the main house, they heard Mrs. Hu's voice coming from inside.

"Girl, madam is so rude. Miss Yu only invited you. She sent someone to give gifts. You should be the one to receive the steward. What's going on with madam coming over?"Yusheng couldn't help but defend Xun Yingju.

"Don't worry, no one can take it away from me. Come on, let's go in and take a look."Xun Yingju said with a smile.

With Lu Shaoyuan here, Xun Yingju was confident and would not worry about being bullied. She walked into the main room naturally. After entering the main room, she found that Xun Yingzhu was also there. A middle-aged man in his thirties sat opposite them. The man, the man looked ordinary, with only a pair of shrewd eyes.

The man saw a teenage girl and a young man coming in. He didn't know why. He didn't know why the Xun family's rules were so loose. Just now, this lady came in with a little girl. He said some incomprehensible words that made people confused. I wonder who the girl is coming in now and when the sixth girl will come over. Before the male steward could think more, Xun Yingju stepped forward to salute and said with a smile:"My little girl Xun Yingju, I'm at home on the sixth day. I didn't know you were coming over. I apologize for the poor reception."
