Concubine's plan

In this regard, Ms. Liu agreed with Ms. Bai's words and hurriedly persuaded her:"Girl Ju, I still listen to your mother, but having said that, let's take a look at the jewelry we bought today. Go and get it for your mother. She is also happy."

As she said that, Mrs. Liu gave Xun Yingju a wink, and then said:"Fourth sister, you don't know, we are exhausted today. I didn't expect that the capital is so big. If we really want to go shopping, I'm afraid it will take a day. I don't have enough time to go shopping." Naturally, she wouldn't say anything about what happened between Qin Shuruo and Lu Dong'er today, which would make people worry in vain.

Hearing the sound of rain, his uncle wanted to show his new headdress, so he hurriedly brought in all the jewelry, headdress, and clothes that Jiner had. After arranging the little girl to put the things in the main room, she said with a smile:"The girl also ordered a tailor to come to the house to customize clothes for the wife, uncle, cousin and the girl. Because she was not sure about the time to return home, she made an appointment for dinner. After that, madam, just wait and see with peace of mind."

"Okay, okay, okay, my daughter is becoming more and more thoughtful in her work. I believe she will be a good hand in managing family affairs and Zhongkui in the future."Ms. Bai was happy in her heart. She felt relieved when she thought that her daughter would not be bullied after she got married. However, she still felt guilty when she thought that her daughter-in-law's family was from a marquis family.

Xun Yingju didn't know what M. Bai was thinking. She was told Her little face turned red, and she said angrily:"Mom, what are you talking about? If you keep talking like this, I will ignore you again."

"Haha, our little niece has finally grown up and knows how to be shy."Seeing the embarrassment on Bai's and Xun Yingju's faces, Ms. Liu immediately smiled and came out to smooth things over. She knew very well that her niece was incomparable before. When she and her daughter had just met, the old man and the old lady of the Bai family were still rude. They thought of marrying this girl back to the Bai family, but everyone in the Bai family felt that the Bai family and her daughter were orphans who had been kicked out by the Xun family and had little to rely on. Moreover, Xun Yingju often appeared in public and did not follow the rules of women. Taking her home would bring shame to the family. , the two old people gave up their thoughts, but now Xun Yingju is beyond the reach of the Bai family. In the future, the niece will marry into the Marquis Mansion and become rich and wealthy, and the Bai family will earn some money by doing business with Xun Yingju, and I am afraid that they will also She couldn't reach a high level, but fortunately the Bai family didn't cause any unhappy things with the mother and daughter. Otherwise, she would have regretted it.

Xun Yingju was very embarrassed by the two elders, but she felt sweet in her heart. I didn’t want to talk more about this topic, so I changed the subject and said,"Okay, we bought a lot of good things today, let’s show my mother something new first. So he understood his master's thoughts, and immediately arranged for the little girl to open her head and face, and said with a smile:"Madam, this is the jewelry that the girl wears to honor her uncle and wife. Look at the red emeralds on it. They are finely made and set on a red gold headdress. It is very grand." , just suitable for my uncle’s wife to wear"

"My sister-in-law is not very old, so she is suitable for wearing such a headdress. I thought that according to the rules of the capital, many ladies do not wear brand-new jewelry and clothes when going out, so I will wear these jewelry tomorrow. Ready-made clothes are also made by Xiu Niang outside. Why not take them back and wash them first to make them clean?"Ms. Bai smiled and didn't take these things too seriously.

Hearing this, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhu's faces froze. They didn't expect that wealthy people still have such rules. If they really wear brand new jewelry, , and then put on a pair of brand-new clothes, I am afraid that she will be laughed to death by the relatives in the Hou Mansion. Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu felt that living in the capital was too tiring, and she had to be careful in everything she did. It would be better to live in the countryside, where women in the countryside would be simpler. People don't have so many small thoughts when interacting with each other.

It's just that Mrs. Liu ignored that women in the countryside also have their own small thoughts. When there is no conflict of interest, it is easy to say anything. When there is a conflict, they will yell.

Now, Mrs. Liu naturally can't think of those things. The thing is, she is very satisfied with her current life. She has food and drink, and can save a lot of money. It is not difficult to buy anything. Even the things Xun Yingju bought today, the Bai family did not buy them. I can't afford it, it just feels good but not practical.

Now that I hear what Bai said, I understand that as the status of this little girl Xun Yingju continues to improve, the status of Bai and the Xun family will probably also improve. The descendants of the Bai family will also pass. When the scientific examination entered the officialdom, the elders in the family could no longer be as rude as the village women before. After thinking about it, Liu and Zhu no longer resisted and nodded in agreement.

"Not only did she buy jewelry and clothes for us this time, Ju Yatou also bought a lot for you. Why don't you try them on now to see if they fit you?" Mrs. Liu smiled.

After hearing this, Xun Yingju and Mrs. Zhu helped Mrs. Bai go to the inner room to try on new clothes. In this way, Xun Yingju and Mrs. Bai rested at home for two days. On the third day, they were all dressed and ready. Go to the Hou Mansion.

Today Xun Yingju is wearing a light blue Confucian skirt, with a peacock gold hairpin on her head, and a tassel on the peacock's mouth, which adds a touch of spirituality to the whole person without losing luxury. Rest for three days. Over time, Mrs. Bai's health has also improved well, and her face is no longer so pale, but rather rosy. Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhu are also dressed in rich clothes. The three of them arrived at the gate of Zhenguo Hou Mansion in a carriage. Old Mrs. Lu, Lu Zhentao, Lu Shaoyuan, Lu Dong'er, Lu Qing'er and others were already waiting at the gate.

The carriage stopped and Xun Yingju got out of the car first, then turned around to help Bai Shi get out of the car. Then came Liu and Zhu, who stood firm and prepared to greet the Lu family..

Before Bai and others could come forward, Lu Shaoyuan took the lead, bowed and saluted, and said with a smile,"Auntie, thank you for making this trip. I wonder if your health is okay?"

"Everything is fine, why are you waiting outside in this cold weather?"Ms. Bai glanced at the people waiting at the door, with a bit of embarrassment on her face.

"It would be a great blessing for the Marquis Mansion to have my mother-in-law come to our house as a guest. Don’t freeze here and invite her inside as soon as possible."Although Lu Zhentao doesn't care about the affairs of the back house, he also understands the ways of the world. When he sees people like the Bai family dressed up, he thinks that he values ​​​​the marriage of Zhenguo Hou Mansion, so he has a sincere smile on his face.

Mrs. Lu has been there all her life. Hanging around among the women in the back house, his eyes have long been trained to be fiery eyes. One look at Mr. Bai and Ms. Liu and you can tell that they are kind-hearted people. The children raised by such people will not be too bad, and may even be good. Can help Brother Yuan.

Seeing Bai and Liu arrive at the door, their eyes fell on Bai's belly. Seeing Bai's belly bulging, he immediately understood Bai's situation, but smiled on his face and said:"My mother-in-law is so lucky. My daughter is also a blessed person, and she has brought a lot of glory to our brother Yuan."

Ms. Bai didn't know what happened, and her eyes were a little confused. She didn't understand why the old lady said this, but it would be rude not to reply. She smiled and said:"I just arrived in the capital recently, and I don't know what these young people have done.."
