Concubine's plan

With Mrs. Bai and Xun Yingju comparing each other in front of her, Mrs. Hu was naturally embarrassed not to express anything, and said with a smile:"With Liu Yatou and Sister Bai comparing me, I naturally can't be too shabby. Let's pass on my order and everyone will The servants in the government will reward me with two months’ worth of money, and the servants in my courtyard will each receive four months’ worth of money."

The old lady, Xun Jingcheng, Xun Jingyu, Xun Yinglan and Xun Yingzhu also expressed their gratitude, but their rewards were higher than those of the others in front of them. It's atmospheric, but it doesn't affect the family's happiness.

The servants were all happy after hearing this, and they worked harder than usual.

After Xun Hongde and Lu Shaoyuan came back, there was naturally a lot of excitement again, so I shouldn't mention it. The front yard has been busy all day, and Xun Yingju has not been idle. She is so tired that she can hardly stand up straight. Now she can finally relax for a while, and she hurriedly pulled Brother Heng out of the main yard, wanting to go back and have a rest.

"Sixth sister."

Before Xun Yingju could return to her yard, Lu Shaoyuan's voice came from behind. She wanted to hit him, but knew that hitting him would not help, so she had to put on a smile on her face and asked:"Brother Lu, is there something wrong? Lu

Shaoyuan was stunned for a moment, and then with a spring breeze-like smile on his face, he said,"Is it convenient to sit in the garden?""

Xun Yingju raised her head and looked at the sky. It's already Xu time. The sky is cloudless and full of shining stars. But what's the point of sitting in the back garden at night? So she said,"Although it's spring now, the weather It's still a little cold, and the flowers and plants in the garden haven't grown well. Brother Lu, why don't you go sit in my yard. I have good white tea there, and some snacks, which are just right for a late night snack."

"The snacks in Liumei's courtyard are the best in the whole house. I have long wanted to try them, and this is a good opportunity."Lu Shaoyuan said with a smile.

In five years, the original young boy has transformed into a stable young man. Because Lu Shaoyuan led the troops to maintain order during the drought last year, and at the same time gave some good ideas to Wei Taishou, the entire Anqing Mansion did not have a big fuss. Despite the chaos, the people still stayed in their hometowns to farm and were not displaced.

For this reason, the imperial court specially rewarded the two people and gave them many good things. At that time, Xun Yinglan and Xun Yingzhu in the mansion had green eyes when they saw the rewards Lu Shaoyuan received. I wish I could have a good relationship with Lu Shaoyuan immediately and move all the good things the emperor rewarded me to my own yard.

However, many things have changed when a boy becomes a young man. The only thing that has not changed is his cold temperament. Except for being with Xun Yingju In addition, keeping a straight face the whole time with other people can even freeze them three times.

"Brother Lu, you haven't taught me how to write for a long time. Let's go back quickly so that you can teach me how to write."Brother Heng saw that the two of them had an agreement, and immediately ran to Lu Shaoyuan, took his hand, and said with a smile

"Brother Heng has begun to become enlightened, so he cannot let go of his studies. From now on, he will go to his yard after dinner every day, and his brother will teach you how to write every day."Lu Shaoyuan said

"real?"Brother Heng asked, scratching his head.

"When did your brother lie to you? Lu Shaoyuan asked hurriedly

"Okay, you two, stop joking at the door. Yusheng and Chunmian have prepared desserts for us. Go back and try them."Xun Yingju felt a little sad when she saw the two brothers being so affectionate. However, Brother Heng was also very affectionate towards her, so she didn't take it to heart and greeted the two of them into the yard.

Lu Shaoyuan had never been polite to Xun Yingju and immediately hugged her. Brother Qiheng walked into the yard

"Hello, Master Lu."Yu Sheng saw a look of surprise on Lu Shaoyuan's face. Although the girl and Master Lu have often moved around in recent years, because of her age, Madam rarely allows Lu Shaoyuan to come to the girl's yard alone, especially at night. I don't know what happened today. , the girl unexpectedly invited this man in. Since he is here, he can't drive him away, and he must entertain him well.

Xun Yingju didn't know that the little girl had so many little thoughts in her heart, and said with a smile:"I'm going to make Yunding white tea and bring it over. I also picked out some of the snacks Chun Mian made and brought them over."

"yes."The sound of rain fell in response.

Xun Yingju brought Lu Shaoyuan and Brother Heng into the house. Xun Yingju's house in Anqing Mansion was no different from the house in Hongshan Village. The host and guest seats were placed in the main room, and they sat aside It is a good tea table. They will only sit in the main room when entertaining guests. Although Lu Shaoyuan is a foreigner, the two are already very good friends. In modern terms, they are a very good bestie relationship.

Those men and women are very guarded. The rules were not appropriate here, so Xun Yingju took the initiative to take the person into the inner room. There was still a hot bed by the window of the inner room. Although it was early spring, the weather was much warmer than winter, but the cold wind was still biting into the bones. In order to let herself It was comfortable, so they kept letting people burn the kang.

At this time, everyone just returned to the house from the cold wind outside, and everyone suddenly felt much more comfortable. Lu Shaoyuan smiled and said:"You still enjoy life and make the house so warm. I'm afraid it's a sister." We often come here to chat, right?"

"The fourth sister and the fifth sister are very fierce."Brother Heng said with a smile. Although he is only six years old, he can already see clearly who is good to him and who is not good to her. Usually when Xun Yinglan and Xun Yingzhu come over to play, they always find the little guy displeased, so they He remembered it, and it was time to file a complaint.

Sure enough, after Lu Shaoyuan heard this, his face immediately darkened, and he said rudely:"Ignore them, those two are just causing trouble.""

"Haha, I didn’t expect you to say such a thing?"Xun Yingju couldn't help laughing while listening.

"I don't usually see them doing anything good, but every time something bad happens, they are there. Lu Shaoyuan said angrily.

Now Xun Yingju couldn't laugh anymore and couldn't help asking:"What did Brother Lu find out outside?""

Lu Shaoyuan didn't mean to hide anything, and said directly:"A few days ago, a family of four in Anqing Mansion bought a pack of rat poison and drank it because they could not repay the loan shark. No one in the family and a two-year-old child survived. Come down. The governor of Wei took this matter very seriously and ordered the government officials to solve the case within five days."

"All four members of the family died. This was a tragedy. There must be something wrong with this, otherwise the elders in the family would not have spared even the two-year-old child. Xun Yingju said with a slight frown.

"Who said otherwise? The officials did not take this matter seriously at first. They only searched the city randomly and found no clues. No one expected that Wei Taishou would ask about this matter early yesterday morning. The officials They couldn't explain why, and this made Governor Wei very angry."Lu Shaoyuan continued.

At this time, Xun Yingju could choose to keep silent. After all, she didn't know the whole story. But deep down in her heart, she always felt that this matter was inseparable from the Xun family, otherwise Lu Shaoyuan would not be able to talk about it. He would specifically talk about this matter, he is not a talkative person.
