Concubine's plan

"Oh, all right."Ms. Hu felt relieved when she heard that her daughter was living a good life, but she still made up her mind to take time to see her eldest daughter.

Seeing that Mrs. Hu relaxed, Xun Yingju accompanied Mrs. Bai back to her yard to wash up. Man Xing and Chaorong had an early morning Hot water and clean clothes were prepared. Yusheng and Yunduan also prepared clean clothes for Xun Yingju.

After washing and changing clothes, Xun Yingju felt refreshed and accompanied Bai back to the front yard. At this time Others had already come over, and before they entered the main room, they heard Xun Yingzhu saying with a smile:"Mom, Sixth Sister's house is much better than our house in Qingshui County. The house is spacious, and the daily necessities inside are all newly purchased."

"Really attentive."Ms. Hu laughed.

"I'm afraid Sixth Sister has thought of it a long time ago, but thanks to her age, she can think so thoughtfully."Xun Yingju said with a pun.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Mrs. Hu's face turned ugly. As the matron of the house in Qingshui County, Mrs. Hu had a lot to replace the mother and daughter of the Bai family. She was not short of experience and money. , even if there are no clothes, it will not make the mother and daughter comfortable.

In this regard, Xun Yingju only smiled slightly, it was not good for the Hu family to take care of the Bai family and her daughter, and the Qin family and her daughter treated them no better, so, Before Xun Yinglan could continue to say yes, she hurriedly said:"Fourth sister is joking, these things were prepared by eldest sister for us. She spent a lot of money. Mother must compensate eldest sister well then, otherwise I will have to pay for her Aggrieved"

"Your eldest sister didn't say much and secretly prepared it for us. She just didn't want us to spend money, but she let you, a little girl, say so."Ms. Hu smiled. The smile on her face was very sincere, and she was obviously really happy.

Regarding this, Xun Yingju had to say:"I'm not willing to say more, but the eldest sister does good things so that no one knows, for fear of being exposed. People misunderstand."

After saying that, Xun Yingju helped Bai into the door and found a place for her to sit down without looking at anyone's expression.

At this time, Xun Yinglan's face became ugly. She originally wanted to ease the relationship with Xun Yingju. After all, she lived alone in Xun Yingju's house. In the house, Aunt Qin no longer has no problem confronting the Hu family, but is still controlled by the Hu family. If she can join forces with Xun Yingju, she will no longer be afraid of the Hu family's private actions, but the other party has made it clear that she does not want to participate in this matter, so Her life was passive. She was worried about her future life, but she was thinking about how to ask Xun Hongde to let Aunt Qin out. With Aunt Qin here, things would be much easier to handle.

Naturally, no one knew what the little girl was thinking. Xun Yingzhu was very proud. It was her biological sister, and she said reluctantly:"Fortunately, my eldest sister was well prepared this time, otherwise I don't know how she would have been arranged."

Xun Yinglan pretended not to hear anything and sat quietly aside.

Seeing this scene, Xun Yingju also admired this fourth sister. Being able to accomplish things to this point is definitely not something ordinary people can accomplish.

Lu Shaoyuan doesn't care about this. , after cleaning up, it was completely dark, and he was already hungry after not eating much all day. Seeing that everyone had arrived, he said loudly:"Everyone is here, let's start dinner.""

"The sound of rain, let’s have dinner."Xun Yingju said with a smile.

If only Bai and Lu Shaoyuan were here, Xun Yingju would never be so polite. But with Hu, Xun Jingcheng, Xun Jingyu and others present, she had to take into account the face of the two Xun family men, so she had to let Yu He called to make arrangements.

Soon, a few little girls and the cook set up two tables of food, one for the women and one for the men. This is the rule of a scholar. Xun Hongde in Qingshui County has always followed the rules of a scholar. Seven-year-olds are different for men and women. Xun Jingcheng and Xun Jingyu also inherited this rule.

When they went to Xun Yingju's house, they naturally couldn't break the rule.

After dinner, Xun Yingju didn't want to quarrel with these people anymore, so she took Bai and hugged her Brother Shang Heng returned to his yard. Lu Shaoyuan didn't like this scene either, so he simply left together.

The days that followed were relatively peaceful, and Bai couldn't stay idle, so he bought more than twenty smart and clever little girls in Fucheng. , teaching these little girls to make embroidery and supplying goods to shops in Fucheng and Qingshui County. Lu Shaoyuan continued to work in Fucheng, and five years passed in the blink of an eye. Two years ago, after continuous efforts, Xun Hongde was finally recognized for his great achievements in agriculture. The prefect was transferred to Fucheng to serve as the chief official and became a fifth-rank official. Old Mrs. Xun also came with him. After two years, Old Mrs. Xun had become extremely old. Her hair had all turned white and her face had many wrinkles. Quite a lot, and more importantly, the spirit was not that good. At this point, the Xun family moved from Qingshui County to Anqing Prefecture. Of course, Xun Hongde did not buy a house, but directly took old Mrs. Xun to live in Xun Yingju's house.

The Bai family Naturally, Mrs. Hu would not give up her position to Mrs. Xun. Mrs. Hu gave up her own courtyard and lived in the courtyard of her eldest son. The eldest son's family lived in the side courtyard. The original Shen Changshi was transferred to the south and promoted to a fourth-rank official. , Mr. Shen took Mr. Shen and his family to take office together, while Shen Yan stayed in Anqing Mansion to continue running his business. The business of greenhouse vegetables was valued by the court, and the emperor issued an imperial decree today, requiring Shen Yan to hand over his greenhouse vegetable cultivation technology.

For Therefore, Shen Yan once came to do business with Xun Yingju. Xun Yingju was not opposed to handing over the planting technology. Planting greenhouse vegetables was just a time difference. Many experienced farmers could succeed after a few more years of experimentation. In this way, not only could they get the emperor It is reasonable and reasonable not to do it.

However, Xun Yingju did not hand over the method of cultivating mushrooms. After all, this is the golden finger for Xun Yingju and Shen Yan to make money. If they also hand over this, I am afraid it will really be useless. Still alive.

Despite this, Shen Yan had already become the richest man in Anqing Mansion. Wei Taishou suggested that Shen Yan donate some of his family wealth to the court, so that he could lose money and avoid disasters. At that time, Shen Yan did not understand the key point and was very unconvinced. He made up his mind not to Donating silver, when Mr. Shen also reminded him, he realized the seriousness of it, and had no choice but to donate three million taels of silver to the court. Of course, Xun Yingju couldn't just sit back and enjoy the gains, and gave one million taels of silver to the court. In 2007, Xun Jingcheng and Xun Jingyu went to the capital to take the scientific examination, and both passed the imperial examination. Everyone in the Xun family knew what was going on. Shen Yan and Xun Yingju donated a total of four million taels of silver to the court. If the emperor directly rewarded Shen Yan and Xun Yingju , that would be too obvious, let Master Shen be promoted.

The Xun family asked two young people to pass the Jinshi in the scientific examination, which was regarded as compensation to the Xun family.

Today is the day when Xun Jingcheng and Xun Jingyu return home after completing their scientific examinations. Old Mrs. Xun and Xun Hongde were extremely happy. They immediately celebrated with their whole family, and everyone went to the city gate to welcome them.
