Concubine's plan

Brother Heng agreed with his sister's words, nodded in agreement, and said,"Brother Lu said the same thing." Then he thought for a while, not knowing what was going on in his little head, and continued:"After that, Brother Heng started talking to Brother Lu. Practicing martial arts, but sister wants to make delicious food for Brother Heng"

"Okay, I'm going to make cheese for dinner tonight, so be sure to be obedient."Xun Yingju said with a smile

"Uh-huh."Brother Heng nodded hurriedly. He likes to eat the desserts made by his sister the most. He can eat one portion by himself. He immediately nodded in agreement. The two siblings agreed and started having breakfast. After the meal, Xun Yingju asked him to

After Xun Hongde was transferred from Qingshui County to Anqing Mansion, he began to look for a private school teacher. Early in the morning, he inquired about Xu Hanlin, an Anqing native. Because he was getting older and wanted to return to his hometown to live in seclusion, he had already found a relationship and passed on the message, hoping to invite an old gentleman to come to the family to become a private tutor.

There was no such precedent. The Hanlin bachelor was a scholar, and his official position was much higher than that of Xun Hongde. He only needs to go home and educate his children and grandchildren, but the old man is naturally a person who loves reading. Over the years, he has created a good reputation in the Zhou Dynasty due to his good knowledge. Once he retired, many aristocratic families wanted to invite him to teach in the government. But all his children were rejected by him one by one. He only wanted to return to his hometown of Anqing Mansion to live quietly.

Unexpectedly, Xun Hongde invited people, and he agreed. Not only did he join Xun Mansion as a teacher, but he also brought several members of the Xu family to The junior boys were brought to study together. Xun Hongde was naturally happy from ear to ear, and even took the lunch bags of several children, so that there was no need for several boys to delay their studies because they had no time to rest. This was approved by Xu Hanlin, so He also worked very hard to teach students.

At that time, Xun Yingju was also very curious as to why a dignified fourth-rank Hanlin was willing to devote himself as a teacher in the home of a fifth-rank official. However, he couldn't figure it out after thinking about it. In the end, he had to think:"I'll settle for it as it comes." , it’s not a bad thing if people are willing to come."

Just last year, Xu Hanlin learned that his good friend Peng Hanlin wanted to resign and travel around the country due to unsatisfactory career prospects. He strongly invited his friends to come over and become teachers together. Although the Xun family is not a wealthy and noble family, they can guarantee the private school teacher's food and clothing. There is no need to worry, and you can still have time to study quietly, and the scenery of Anqing Mansion is good, and you can go around. Xun Hongde naturally welcomes it, even if he has an extra monthly salary, he is willing to do so.

So now the Xun family has two teachers, and they are both very good. She liked Brother Heng as a student and said to Xun Yingju in private:"As long as the little guy is willing to work hard, his future achievements will be limitless."

At that time, Xun Yingju only thought the two gentlemen were joking. Now that she has discovered that Brother Heng's learning talent is indeed extraordinary, she is naturally happy. She also admires the two gentlemen's ability to recognize people. It is not true that they can see huge potential in such a young child. Anyone can do it, at least Xun Yingju thinks she can’t do it

"Girl, the eldest daughter will leave the palace in a few days, and you are going to give her a dowry today."Aunt Gui started to be in a daze when she saw the girl sending the young master away. She didn't know what she was thinking, so she could only remind her.

"Sister Yu was so lively when she got married. I wonder how lively it will be when Sister Li gets married. Xun Yingju was curious and said it.

Aunt Gui said with a smile:"This girl doesn't know. The Yu family is a merchant's family, and the eldest daughter Yu married into a merchant's family. No matter how lively the scenery is, there are rules and restrictions." Yes, Miss Li comes from a family of officials, and she married into a family of officials and scholars, a Qingliu family. The pomp and bustle is not comparable to that of ordinary families."

"When the girl gets married, she wants to be more prosperous. The master is a scholar and now has a rich family. If you belong to a good family, the master and his wife will also prepare a good dowry for you for the sake of face. The girl will definitely have a red dress, which will be enviable."Aunt Jiang said with a smile.

Xun Yingju's cheeks were hot as the two talked about her, and she felt shy. She lowered her head and hurriedly changed the subject and said,"Are you ready for these things that allow your father and mother to make decisions and add fragrance to Sister Li?"

The so-called adding fragrance is a way of communicating with each other in ancient times. Before every girl gets married, she has a few good friends with whom she can talk. Before the girl gets married, her best friends will give her some clothes, jewelry and other things. It is used as a headdress. On the one hand, it can bring face to the girl to be married, and on the other hand, it can increase the relationship between the two families.

"It has been prepared for a long time. According to the girl's instructions, a red gold and diamond phoenix hairpin was prepared for Miss Li to ensure that the girl would not lose face when giving it away."Aunt Gui said as she took out the prepared gold hairpin for Xun Yingju to take a look at.

Looking at the gold hairpin, Xun Yingju felt a pain in her heart. Looking at the workmanship and weight, it would cost at least a hundred dollars to make this gold hairpin. Ten taels of silver. Many girls will get married in the future. Can't everyone give such an expensive gift?

"Don't worry, girl. You and Miss Li have a good relationship and have been friends since childhood. Naturally, the fragrance you give her is comparable to that of others."As if seeing through Xun Yingju's inner thoughts, Aunt Gui smiled.

Xun Yingju nodded and smiled:"Isn't it? If girls from every family gave gifts like this, even if I had a rich family, I might not be able to resist such squandering."

Aunt Gui and Aunt Jiang on the side heard this and just smiled and said nothing more. They know the girl's belongings best. Not to mention feeding the Xun family now, it would be difficult to feed them even if they were ten times more. Naturally, I don't take it seriously. The girl is used to living a simple life and doesn't want to be extravagant and wasteful. She doesn't want the younger generations in the family to develop the habit. Everyone in the house is preparing for the trip. Not long after, Man Xing from Bai's courtyard came over and asked the girl when she was going to Li's house, and my wife went with her. At this time, Man Xing was also a eldest girl of sixteen or seventeen years old. Bai Shi has been out of trouble, and now she has become the eldest girl in Bai Shi's courtyard. She manages things for Bai Shi and also works part-time to teach the little girls who are new to the courtyard.

"The girl will be able to go out soon. Miss Manxing will go back to Madam. Whenever she goes out, we will follow her."Yusheng laughed.

"Sister Yusheng will make fun of me. You entered the palace earlier than me, and you grew up with the girl. How can you call me sister?" Man Xing hurriedly explained that if there was news in the house that she didn't take the people around the girl seriously because she was serving in front of the wife, she was afraid that the masters would take care of her. Naturally,

Yu Sheng didn't know that the little girl had so much in her heart. Thought, he said:"Okay, I don't mean to bully you. There is a lot of new cheese made by the girl here. Take it and let others try it.""
