Concubine's plan

"I will go with you tomorrow. Hongshan Village is the old home of our Xun family and our foundation. I have never been there before when I grew up, so I will take this opportunity to stay for a few more days."Xun Yingzhu said with a smile

"It would be best for the fifth sister to look like this. Our old house is a feng shui treasure, and there is no harm in staying there more often."Xun Yingju said with a smile.

Because of Xun Yingzhu's statement, everyone's attitude towards Xun Yingzhu changed. They felt that this little girl was quite polite, so they became friendly with her.

After not much effort, Yun Duan hurried over, saluted Xun Yingju and said:"Girl, please go and take a look in front. The eldest young master of the Shen family in Fucheng has brought his young mistress to celebrate young master Lu."

"Second Master Shen’s brother?"Xun Yingju was surprised. Shen Yan usually interacted with her on various matters. Even if there were matters dealing with the government, he would come to resolve them. She didn't expect that Uncle Shen would come in person. This shows how much Master Chang Shi values ​​Lu Shaoyuan and the Xun family.

"There is also Uncle Wei and his wife."Yunduan said something again.

Xun Yingju was speechless for a while, and wanted to yell:"Can you stop breathing so heavily?"In the end, she held back, greeted Yu Mei and others, went straight to call Mrs. Bai, and went to the front yard to greet the distinguished guests.

"You said the eldest young lady from the Prefecture is also here?"Ms. Bai was a little uneasy. It was the first time she met someone with such a high status. Even Mrs. Hu wanted to help entertain her, but Xun Yingju refused. She was a little at a loss.

Xun Yingju smiled and said:"Mom, don't be nervous, they are all ordinary women. , you can just talk to your friends"

"Two of them are official, and one is a family member of a first-rank official. How can they be treated like ordinary friends?"Mr. Bai was still nervous.

When she said this, her face turned pale and her hands began to tremble. Seeing Ms. Bai in such a state, Xun Yingju felt helpless. She really didn't feel that Ms. Shen's status was much higher than hers, and her life was much better. They're just poor people who were kept captive by men.

"Mom, no matter whose family they are, we don’t need to blame her, and there is no need to lower our status."Xun Yingju held Bai's hand and said very solemnly.

This time Bai finally understood, calmed down, and made up her mind not to embarrass her daughter, and said:"Mom will not embarrass you, and must entertain these people well.."

The two of them went straight to the front yard. Lu Shaoyuan was entertaining Mr. Wei, Mr. Shen and Mr. Shen Yan. Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Zhu, stood aside politely and listened to the men's chat without any intention of interrupting.

"Unexpectedly, the two sisters-in-law came over. Xun Yingju was late to greet them and asked the two sisters-in-law not to blame them."As soon as Xun Yingju entered the room, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute and apologize.

Mrs. Shen had seen Xun Yingju but not Bai, but she still pulled Xun Yingju up warmly and said with a smile:"Sixth sister is too polite. We just wanted to come here on a whim. My sister is here to join in the fun. She won’t dislike us for being nosy, right?"

"No way, I'm not happy that my sister-in-law is here, so how could I be angry? Xun Yingju said politely, and then introduced Mrs. Bai to Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen took the opportunity to introduce Mrs. Zhu to Xun Yingju and said with a smile:"This is my eldest sister-in-law. Let's be together today.""

"That's great, let's go, let the men drink and chat here, and let's talk in the back. Xun Yingju smiled.

Lu Shaoyuan didn't like women outside, so he nodded and said,"Go ahead.""

Shen and Zhu looked at each other and seemed to understand something, but didn't say much. They followed Bai and Xun Yingju to the middle courtyard. At this time, the middle courtyard was already very lively. Many official ladies were here. They saw a young man. When the madam came in, some people were curious about the identities of the two madams, and they needed to be greeted by Xun Yingju and Bai personally.

As someone who had been to Anqing Mansion and knew the Shen family, Madam Hu immediately stepped forward to say hello and said with a smile:"Ms. Wei, you are welcome Why are you here free?"

"The county magistrate's wife is fine, we are just here to join in the fun."Ms. Shen said with a smile.

Ms. Shen is a very smart woman. She understands that she cannot offend anyone casually at any time. Therefore, no matter who she faces, she always smiles. The smile on her face is like a spring breeze, which calms the uneasiness in her heart..

Bai Shi introduced the two parties with a smile. When the family members of the wealthy family who came from Qingshui County heard that these two young ladies turned out to be the eldest daughter-in-law of the prefecture and the daughter-in-law of the chief minister, they immediately respected her. They began to surround Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Shen. While Zhu was chatting, Hu originally wanted to take advantage of their relationship to get closer to Shen and find a way out for her nephews. Unexpectedly, she was suddenly pushed aside by a Chinese woman. She felt resentful and cursed secretly. When these women saw Shen, they were like a cat seeing a mouse, without caring about their respective identities.

However, Mrs. Hu didn't realize that what she did was similar to the behavior of these ladies, otherwise she would not have been so painful. Very popular with people around.

Xun Yingju took a few little girls to play with Yu Mei and others. She believed that no one would dare to offend the Bai family on such an occasion, otherwise they would really lose their eyesight.

A little girl named Chen The girl, older than Xun Yingju and younger than Yu Mei and others, looked innocent and innocent. She was very curious about the identities of Shen and Zhu, and asked in a low voice:"Sixth sister knows those two ladies?"

"We just met, what's wrong?"Xun Yingju didn't understand why the little girl was curious about these things.

"They are so beautiful. They wear clothes that we have never seen before, and their patterns are also very popular recently."The little girl said as she spoke, the look of envy on her face was clearly visible.

"Those are nothing, we are still young and we will have them in the future."Xun Yingju smiled and said

"But they can have these things as soon as they are born, and we need to work hard to get them. Isn't this gap too big?"Miss Chen was still a little unwilling.

Seeing the unwillingness in the little girl's eyes, Xun Yingju was stunned for a moment. She didn't understand the little girl's thoughts, but she didn't want such a little girl to indulge in materialistic desires. She could only explain:" If you get these things from others, others can take them away at any time. If you earn them yourself, anyone who wants to take them away must think carefully about it."

"I don't understand what you mean."Miss Chen looked confused.

Naturally, Xun Yingju would not give an in-depth explanation to the little girl. After all, it was just the first time that the two met. What kind of life the little girl can have in the future will naturally depend on herself, and her life will also depend on her. Fight for yourself. After all, she is still young and it is not her turn to think about these things.

Seeing a few people coming over, Yu Mei said with a smile:"The Young Madam of the Wei family and the Young Madam of the Shen family are indeed distinguished guests. Why doesn't my sister accompany me?" Still coming?"

"As long as my mother chats with them, we, the little girls who have not left the government, have nothing to talk to them."Xun Yingju said with a smile.
