Concubine's plan

It was only now that Xun Hongde finally understood the seriousness of the matter. It was not that they were trying to scare him, but that the consequences of the matter were downplayed.

Xun Hongde, who wanted to understand the consequences, immediately walked up to his two daughters, slapped each of them in the face, and angrily said:"Two ungrateful evildoers, why don't you tell the truth as it is?"

Xun Yingju, who was listening on the side, shook her head helplessly. , secretly thought:"This cheap dad is really confused. If he had spent more time managing family affairs, things like today would not have happened. But now he is still blaming his two daughters and does not know how to reflect on his own actions."

Wei Naturally, the prefect also saw what Xun Hongde was doing. He was an outsider and could not say much, so he could only look at Xun Yinglan and ask,"Are you really unwilling to say anything?"

"I said, I said."No matter how stupid Xun Yinglan is, she knows that things today can't be good. If she doesn't explain things clearly, even Xun Hongde won't beat her to death.

Then Xun Yinglan told the whole story of what happened. I didn't dare to hide everything.

It turned out that things were developing very badly. The Xun family came to Anqing Mansion to develop. In order to find a good in-law for her daughter and not repeat the tragic ending of her eldest daughter, Mrs. Hu often took Xun Yinglan and Xun Yingju out to attend banquets in various mansions. Once when attending a banquet at the Li Mansion, Xun Yinglan and Xun Yingzhu met the eldest daughter of the family of Peng Yanqing, the minister of Dali Temple, who came from the capital. Miss Peng had an aura of wealth. Faced with such a girl, Xun Yinglan and Xun Yingzhu were envious from the bottom of their hearts, and Xun Yinglan took the initiative They came forward to chat and express their friendship. Miss Peng ignored Xun Yinglan at first, but when the Shen family's grandson's full moon party came, Miss Peng was very enthusiastic about Xun Yinglan and Xun Yingzhu, and she wanted to be commensurate with the two sisters.

The girl When they got together, they talked about what kind of clothes to wear and what kind of jewelry to wear. Miss Peng kept showing off all kinds of priceless jewelry on her body. The two sisters looked at it with envy in their eyes, and couldn't help but resent Xun Yingju in their hearts. Xun Yingju made a lot of money. After receiving so much money, she really didn't want to give more money to the sisters.

After contacting them several times, Miss Peng took Xun Yinglan and Xun Yingzhu to secretly tell them that there was a way to make money, but it required some capital, and the rest was not It requires two people to take care of it, just waiting to get the money, but there is a condition, you must not tell anyone about this matter, otherwise not only will you not get back the capital and dividends, but you will also be retaliated by many high-ranking officials in the capital. It is not easy to find it. Naturally, the two of them would not give up on a way to make money.

No matter how much they said they were the daughters of a fifth-rank official family, it was not difficult to scrape together a hundred and ten taels of silver. They quickly sent the money to the house where Miss Peng was staying, and also left a Placed two receipts

"How many times have you received dividends?"The expression on Wei Taishou's face turned ugly. Unexpectedly, those people's hands had already reached Anqing Mansion.Secretly resentful

"We just sent the money last month and haven't received any dividends yet."Xun Yingzhu immediately defended himself

"Fortunately you haven't taken any dividends yet, otherwise it would have been difficult to get out." Wei Taishou glanced at the two girls coldly, and then said to Xun Hongde:"Take good care of your children, otherwise the Xun family will be destroyed."

"Thank you, Lord Prefect, for reminding me."After hearing his daughter's narration, Xun Hongde's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He was glad that the matter had not become a big deal, otherwise the Xun family would really be doomed. He made up his mind to manage his two daughters well.

Wei Taishou got the result he wanted, It was not easy to stay in the Xun family any longer, and he did not want to be involved in the Xun family's affairs, so he took his people away.

After seeing off the prefect of Wei, Xun Hongde was so angry that he asked people to invite the Hu family and the Bai family to the front yard. They must come to the front yard today. We need to settle the matter.

Not knowing what happened, Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Bai hurried over to find out what happened. Mrs. Xun was worried about the future of the Xun family, so she also came over to hear what was going on.

"Mother, it’s just a trivial matter, why are you here?"Xun Hongde has always shown himself as a filial son, so naturally he will not worry his old mother.

"Hey, what time is it now, do you still want to hide it from all of us?"Old Mrs. Xun has lived for a long time. Seeing the current situation at home, she naturally understands that something big has happened at home. Otherwise, she would not be the governor of Wei Dynasty. The female family members have been guessing in the back house for a long time. They have been guessing and guessing without any results. It is not easy. Xun Hongde sent someone to call someone, so he naturally wanted to make things clear.

The old lady was angry, and Xun Hongde couldn't hide it anymore, so he simply explained the matter. Now everyone in the family knew what Xun Yinglan and Xun Yingzhu had done.

Xun Jingcheng said:"Father, the two sisters are too ignorant of the importance of things. They dare to do anything that would create a mark. Are there other things that they dare not do?"

_"

"Hey, what are you talking about? Zhu Yatou is usually not short of money. She must have been bewitched by others when she went out to do such a thing."Although Mrs. Hu hates her daughter for failing to live up to expectations, she still has to protect her at this time, otherwise her little daughter will be punished and her life will not be easy. This time Bai chose to remain silent. This is a dispute between the Hu family and Aunt Qin's family. , Bai felt that he was not suitable to participate in it. At this time, he already regretted taking a trip into this muddy water. It would be best not to know the inside story. Now that he is here, it would be more embarrassing to sit here. The best way is to keep silent.

Mr. Xun The wife looked at Xun Yinglan with a look of disappointment. She had always loved this granddaughter and was almost obedient to her. She loved her even more than her direct granddaughter. She never expected that she could do such a thing.

"Grandma, you have to believe your granddaughter. I have never wanted to harm the Xun family. I just want to make some private money. The sixth girl can make so much money, why can't I? I also have hands and feet, and I will definitely be able to make a lot of money for myself. After I get married, I don’t have to look at other people’s eyes."Xun Yinglan rushed to Old Mrs. Xun, knelt down and cried.

Old Mrs. Xun also looked helpless, sighed and said:"You have always been more cautious than other sisters. Because you are a concubine, you always have to be with Mei. Compete with Zhu Yatou, read more than them, and do things better than them, but you can't let yourself down.

Madam Hu said,"Fourth girl has always been my favorite daughter, even Brother Cheng and Brother Yu can't compare to me. When you get married, I will definitely prepare a generous gift for you." The dowry will not make you suffer, but as an elder sister, you actually brought your younger sister to do such a thing, hehe."

Hearing this, everyone was silent for a while. Hu's words were heartbreaking. It is true that Xun Hongde loved Xun Yinglan, but he also had two other daughters who had not left the court. If he prepared a generous dowry for Xun Yinglan, at least on the surface, he would have to give it to Xun Yingzhu and Xun Yinglan. Xun Yingju prepared the same portion, at least on the surface, it was impossible to tell whether it was thick or thin.
