Concubine's plan

"Auntie, don't scold me. I'm just worried that Madam's place is short of things. The girl just happened to buy something when she went to the street and brought it over."Yusheng defended himself and looked confident.

"The little girl is becoming more and more sharp-tongued. It seems that she doesn't want to teach her a lesson. Isn't this Ah Hai doing something unruly?"Aunt Gui stepped forward and held Yu Sheng's ear, and kept lecturing her. When the ear fell into Aunt Gui's hand, Yu Sheng's fair little face immediately became distorted, and she immediately begged for mercy:"Aunt, I know I was wrong. Now, please let me go. I won’t dare to do anything unruly again."She felt that Aunt Gui was so soft-hearted and had never really punished a little girl. As long as the little girl spoke quickly and begged for mercy first, the punishment would definitely be spared. But this time Yusheng guessed wrong.

"Humph, the little girl is very cunning. If she doesn't teach her a lesson today, she will be in trouble in the future."Aunt Gui still didn't let go of the sound of rain.

Seeing this scene, Xun Yingju on the side had no intention of stopping Aunt Gui. Aunt Gui was in charge of the affairs in her own yard. If she was stopped when she was teaching her personal maid, I'm afraid the yard would be in trouble in the future. Every little girl in the house will listen to her words, so now she can only let Aunt Gui deal with the sound of rain.

Not only that, Xun Yingju also said in a very unkind way:"Auntie, educate her well, so that she will not understand the rules when she is older." , it’s hard to find my husband’s family"

"girl?"Yu Sheng's face was red, and she was carried away by Aunt Gui with a look of grievance.

Xun Yingju had a lot of things to do. She would leave Anqing Mansion in more than two months. Shen Yan was there for business matters, and now she She just needs to arrange things at home and spend more time with Bai. This time, Bai can't go to the capital with her, which makes her worry a lot. The attitude of the Xun family towards Bai makes Xun Yingju very worried. I think. Who should be left behind can make Bai's life easier. Naturally, this person must be afraid of Xun Hongde and be jealous of Xun Hongde. He should not be too strong-tempered and know how to do things appropriately. It is best to become Bai's think tank.

This person Aunt Gui was the most suitable, but it would take a while to decide, so I arranged for my servants to pack the things in the warehouse and prepare to take them to the capital together. Since I was going to the capital and was engaged to Lu Shaoyuan, I thought I would go back to Anqing Mansion later. It was just a temporary stay.

With this plan in mind, the little girls started to get busy. After a while, Aunt Jiang came in and said:"Girl, we need to pack a few wooden boxes. I didn't expect that there will be a lot more things in the house in the past few years.""

"Well, everything is expensive in the capital city. Every inch of land there is very expensive. I want to make some good wooden boxes that will be useful in the capital city."Xun Yingju said with a smile

"If the girl wants to make a good box, she must use good wood. What kind of wood does the girl want to use?"Aunt Gui is a person who has seen the world and knows the tricky things involved in breaking furniture, so she immediately warned her. Sure enough

, Xun Yingju's head immediately became clear, and she felt that with Aunt Gui by her side, she didn't need to worry about many things. Everything Aunt Gui can solve the problem with just one sentence, and she can also remind herself at critical moments. Thinking of this, Xun Yingju smiled and said:"What kind of wood do you need to make a few good boxes?"

In this regard, Aunt Gui has seen many good objects and knows what good wood can be used to make wooden boxes. She immediately smiled and said:"There are a lot of woods for making furniture, but they are not easy to find. Good huanghuali, Phoebe, rosewood, rosewood and golden nanmu.

Golden nanmu is a wood exclusively used by the royal family. nanmu and rosewood can indeed be used by ordinary people, but these woods are too scarce. Whenever they appear somewhere, they will definitely attract the attention of the wives of powerful family members from all over the country. If these people like it, Eyes, naturally I have to find a way to get it home."

It's right to want to learn. Xun Yingju feels that no matter what era the behind-the-scenes operations are, it's too difficult for ordinary people to do something, but Xun Yingju is not such a self-pitying person. She smiled and said:"Auntie is like this I'm sure you have an idea, why don't you come and take a look?"

"The girl is just smart."Aunt Gui smiled, with a look of admiration, and finally said:"Although we have a lot of wealth, we still don't think about precious woods such as nanmu and rosewood, but rosewood is also good, not only low-key, but also luxurious. , most suitable for girls who like low-key temperament."

"Yes, the matter of buying wood has not been settled yet, so I went to Lu Shaoyuan and Shen Yan to ask them if they had any ideas."

_ , Lu Shaoyuan went to Zhuangzi with us, just in time to do this. We can also make the furniture in Zhuangzi and transport it directly to the capital for use when the time comes."

This is indeed a good idea. Since Lu Shaoyuan was asked to handle this matter, Xun Yingju was not in a hurry, so she said:"Yes, there are many things at home now, so you have to take care of it."

"But no, just now the old slave heard the little girl talking privately outside. The master divided the eldest lady's dowry into four parts. The eldest and second young masters each got one share. The other two parts were less, and they were divided equally between the eldest lady and the second young master. The fifth girl is regarded as a dowry for the fifth girl. The old lady and the master each took some things and filled them in, which was regarded as the fifth girl's dowry.

The fourth girl does not have this kind of treatment. She only has a dowry given by the old lady and the master, which is much less in comparison. If she marries into the Hu family, her life will be difficult."

Although slaves are not allowed to gossip about their master, Aunt Gui never talks nonsense. If she can say something like this, there must be some meaning in it, so that Xun Yingju can wake up. Xun Yingju naturally understands Aunt Gui

's thoughts and will not blame her. He didn't talk much, but smiled and said:"The two sisters have come out of the cabinet and their father and grandmother are here, so I, the junior, don't have to worry."

"As long as the girl knows it well, I will go down and watch the little girls doing their work."Aunt Gui smiled and said

"Well, aunt, go ahead and get busy. Be sure to prepare the things that Brother Heng needs and put them in an easy to find place so that he can use them when he is empty."Xun Yingju warned again.

Aunt Gui nodded in agreement and turned around to go out. She was still a little excited after making such a decision early in the morning, and now she couldn't rest, thinking about what to do next.

Before Xun Yingju could think too much, Yun Duan ran in and reported back, saying,"Girl, the fourth girl is here."

"The fourth sister is here?"Xun Yingju was a little in disbelief. She looked at the clouds and wondered what Xun Yinglan was doing here at this time? Did she come here to show off? But what did Xun Yinglan have to show off?
