Concubine's plan

Faced with the ridicule of her in-laws, Mrs. Xun’s face turned into a dye vat, and the colors rotated through her face. But she couldn't break out. After all, she was the one who did it, but she was not simple either. She had become more mature with age. She immediately taught her son a lesson and said,"Xun Hongde, are you just watching these people laugh at your mother?"

Xun Hongde was helpless. , His mother has been strong all her life, and the old man did not dare to refute a word when he was still alive. Now he, as a son, dare not say anything more, lest he would be embarrassed in front of his children if he were not happy, and he also understood the temperament of his younger daughter. Whose character did he inherit? His willingness to take no advantage of others. Aren’t they exactly the same person?

Even if he knew it, he would not dare to say anything more in front of my mother. Xun Hongde said:"Mother, my son will earn more money to honor you. After all, my daughter-in-law's dowry is her private property. Our children still have to pursue an official career. If they are greedy for their daughter-in-law, If the news about your son's dowry spreads, I'm afraid the careers of your two grandsons will be ruined." As expected of a veteran who has been in the officialdom for many years, he explained the matter clearly in a few words and made me feel dumb and obediently put the things away. Hand it over.

Sure enough, after hearing what her son said, Mrs. Xun reluctantly called the maid over and ordered the little girl to get something. The old lady who had been trying to be strong all her life suffered a loss in front of her granddaughter. Although she felt unhappy, she couldn't say anything in front of outsiders. She had to swallow her breath and wait for her eldest grandson to start a career before dealing with the Bai family and her daughter.

Xun Yingju naturally didn't know what the old lady was thinking. Even if she knew it, she would only smile slightly, and maybe ask:"You are so old, why don't you enjoy the happiness at home? The happiness of having children and grandchildren around your knees." Not everyone can enjoy it."

Now Xun Yingju has no time to care about these things. Qingshui County is the farthest away from Anqing Prefecture. Even if you hurry up, it will take a day to get there. If you miss the time, you may have to spend the night outside.. Seeing Mrs. Bai put away her dowry, she immediately said:"Mom, let's leave quickly. If it's too late, we'll be late.""

"Okay, let's go now."Ms. Bai also knew that what Jin'er's daughter did was a bit excessive, but she didn't want her dowry to fall into the hands of old Mrs. Xun in vain, so she took the two little girls Man Xing and Chaorong into the carriage.

Hu took The children returned to the carriage and reluctantly said goodbye to their families. She had been married to the Xun family for nearly 20 years and had been caring for her husband and raising her children at home. Even if she occasionally went out, it was for her children to see her daughter-in-law and son-in-law. She dragged the family like this. It was the first time that Daikou had to live outside. She couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. She was afraid that she would not be able to protect her children and they would be bullied outside. But for the future of her two sons and daughter, she had no choice but to do so. Don't do things according to the master's plan.

The carriage traveled very fast and left Qingshui County in the blink of an eye, without seeing the people behind it. Xun Yingju brought a lot of luggage, and Mrs. Hu also brought a lot of carriages. This time, her son, daughter-in-law and The daughters were all brought out, and the family and servants rode in three carriages. There were also people sitting in the carriage pulling luggage behind. Because they were staying in Anqing Mansion permanently, they brought a lot of luggage this time, which was enough to hold four taels. We haven't brought all the carriages with us yet, but we were told that we had to buy new ones when we arrived at Anqing Mansion.

However, Xun Yinglan and Xun Yingzhu had no seats in the carriage, so the two women had no choice but to squeeze into a carriage with Xun Yingju. At first seeing the two of them, Xun Yingju couldn't get used to it. , usually she would ride in a carriage alone when going out, or at worst she would only ride in a carriage with Bai or Xiao Heng.

Today, in order to ease the boredom of the journey, Bai asked Aunt Leng and Chun Mian to take Heng with them. Riding in a carriage, the only sounds in Xun Yingju's carriage were the sound of rain, the clouds, and the fragrance of plum blossoms. The little girls did not dare to speak much in front of their master. They were all as obedient as clay Buddhas.

Xun Yinglan and Xun Yingzhu originally did not want to Take a carriage with Xun Yingju. The Xun family's carriage is luxurious and comfortable. There is everything to eat in the carriage. You don't have to worry about the boring journey. How comfortable.

After the two got on the car, they immediately changed their minds. The luxurious exterior and shabby interior they thought did not exist at all. It should be the other way around. The car walls were completely covered with fur, and the seats were first covered with a layer of fur. Thick cotton cushions, covered with fur, are obviously both warm and comfortable to sit on.

"Sixth sister, you are so good at enjoying yourself. This carriage decorated by you is no worse than an elegant and leisurely living room."Xun Yingju couldn't help but said

"I often go out and ride in carriages a lot. If I don't make myself more comfortable, I'm afraid I'll be exhausted."Xun Yingju smiled slightly and said

"That's true, but my sister's car still lacks some bookish smell. It would be more perfect if there were more pens and books."Xun Yinglan said without hesitation.

How can it be imperfect? ​​It seems that not only modern people can enjoy life, but also ancient people can manage their lives properly, provided they have enough money.

Xun Yingju doesn't care about this. He just smiled and said:"Sister is joking, I have never read a book, let alone writing."

Hearing this, Xun Yinglan was very disdainful. Looking at Xun Yingju, she was just a little upstart who didn't understand anything. If she were a man, she would be a big boss and nothing.

Xun Yingzhu had other ideas and said with a smile:"Let's live together in the future. At the same time, I am afraid that when I have to use the car, having some books and pens in the car is indeed a good way to pass the time."

Xun Hongde has always been a scholar, and he always demands himself according to the standards of a scholar. He has particularly high requirements for his two sons. Because Xun Yingzhu has a bad temper, Xun Hongde pays little attention to this daughter. Hu has not read the book and cannot hand it over. Xun Yinglan was much favored. She always acted coquettishly and cutely in front of Xun Hongde. Xun Hongde favored her and often took her with him to teach. She had read a lot of poems and books, and now she naturally had the right to speak.

Sure enough, before Xun Yingju could speak, Xun Yinglan immediately said:"That's great, I just don't know if Sixth Sister is willing."

At this time, Xun Yingju realized how thick-skinned the two of them were. It was unimaginable. She rolled her eyes in her heart. She had to say that it was hard for her to refuse when the two of them sang in harmony, but Xun Yingju was not the Xiaobai before. She smiled and said:" The two sisters are both ladies in the family, and they don't have many opportunities to go out. If their father knew that the two sisters often went out, he would probably reprimand them."

In this regard, Xun Yinglan and Xun Xun Yingjuli knew very well that Xun Hongde had the strictest control over their daughter's rules. If she made a slight mistake, she would be severely punished. Thinking about Xun Hongde's serious temperament, the two of them unconsciously had a cold war with each other. There was a look of fear in his eyes.
