Concubine's plan

After Mrs. Bai agreed to keep the meal, Xun Yingju ran to the small kitchen and claimed that she wanted to cook a delicious meal for her aunt. When I got to the small kitchen and looked around, I found that there was very little food in the kitchen, just two cabbages, a few radishes, and the wild vegetables brought back by the sound of rain, but there was no meat.

Fortunately, the rice in the rice vat is rice, not brown rice. Otherwise, I really don’t know what kind of family I have traveled to.

It is said that the real master of the Xun family is named Xun Hongde, who is the magistrate of Qingshui County and is a seventh-rank official. Before becoming an official, generations of ancestors were born as old farmers. In this generation, the family tried its best to provide a Jinshi. Since they had no connections and background, they could only become a seventh-grade county magistrate.

Xun Hongde married his mentor's daughter, Mrs. Hu, and they had two sons and two daughters. The eldest son and the second son were both well-educated. The eldest son was admitted as a scholar, and the second son was also a scholar. The eldest daughter Xun Yingmei is already married to the son of the magistrate of Linxian County. The Hu family was born in a wealthy family. Although she was from a common family, she was blessed with the dowry and was good at business. Over the past ten years, she had become quite wealthy.

Xun Hongde, who became an official, did not forget his roots. After getting married, he took his old mother Qin, who lived in Zhuangzi, to the government office to support him. Perhaps because his son had a good career in officialdom and had children and grandchildren around his knees, Qin was in a good mood and in good health. After a few years, It will be the old man's sixtieth birthday in a month, and the Xun Mansion will probably hold a grand party by then.

Little Qin was brought into the house at the initiative of Mrs. Xun. Xun Hongde loved her very much and even threatened Hu's position. The Hu family sent Bai to be their concubine with Xiao Qin. Bai had no talent and won. She was favored by Xun Hongde because of her beauty, and later gave birth to Xun Yingju. Xun Yingju is now ten years old.

Logically speaking, Xun Mansion should not eat less and wear less clothes. There are indeed no other vegetables. Is this the situation in Qingshui County as a whole? I think it was the Hu family who was in charge of the palace, and the Hu family had a generous dowry, so the direct descendants would not be short of food or clothing.

The second concubine, Xiao Qin, is the niece of the old lady of the attached middle school. Naturally, the people in the mansion will not treat her and Xun Yinglan badly. Only Bai and Xun Yingju, who have neither background nor status, have poor food and clothing. But she is not worried. People grow hands just to earn food for themselves.

Xun Yingju quickly steamed the rice, while Yu Sheng sat on a small bench to light the fire. Xun Yingju cut cabbage strips and shredded radish, and soon a plate of vinegared cabbage and a stir-fried shredded radish were served.

Chun Mian and Yu Sheng were both diligent. They quickly placed the dishes and chopsticks and the food was served. Xun Yingju helped Bai Shi prepare the meal and said with a smile:"Auntie, sit down and eat.""

"The sixth girl's cooking skills have improved, and she can make simple dishes delicious."Ms. Bai was not polite. She took a bite and nodded her head in praise. She usually eats these things. It's not that she doesn't want to eat other vegetables. It's winter in the Congo and the weather is still cold in March. I'm afraid the seeds of the vegetables haven't even gone to the ground yet. If you want to eat fresh vegetables, you have to wait for at least a month.

Originally, Xun Yingju wanted Chun Mian and Yu Sheng to eat them together, but because the Bai family was on the list, she couldn't break the rules and it was worth leaving them for the two little girls. They took the food and ate it in the small kitchen.

The mother and daughter had just finished eating, and before they had time to clean up, a pretty girl in her twenties and eighties came into the courtyard. She walked to the door, saluted and said:"Sixth girl, old lady I was told to go to her courtyard after lunch."

Old Qin likes that girl Xun Yinglan the most. He usually doesn't have to ask her for greetings. Today he takes the initiative to let her go. It seems that he has something to say.

"Thank you sister Tsinghua University. Do you know what my grandmother wants from me?"Xun Yingju was curious, so she asked the question first. After saying that she gave the five copper coins to Tsinghua University, she was helpless. Before lunch today, the girl ran to the old lady and cried, saying that the sixth girl bullied her, and said that the sixth girl even seduced the county town at a young age. The son of a wealthy family is in the middle. If word of this gets out, it will definitely damage the reputation of the sisters in the family and affect their future marriages.

The old lady already likes the fourth girl, and if she makes her cry like this, she will do anything. This is not Just after lunch, I sent someone to the front yard to invite the master back, and asked her to invite the sixth girl. To be fair, Tsinghua sympathizes with this sixth girl. Her father has not cared for her since she was a child, her mother is incompetent, and she has been bullied by her daughter in the house. I'm afraid I'll be kicked out of the house now.

But these things are not something that a girl can interfere with. She will do whatever the master orders. Now that the sixth girl asked, she naturally couldn't tell the truth. She just smiled and said:"Sixth aunt is joking, it's the master's business." Son, how did this slave know? When the words were brought, this slave withdrew."

After saying that, Qinghua turned around and left the small courtyard.

Looking at the little girl's leaving figure, Bai frowned slightly. She didn't understand why the old lady was looking for the sixth girl. She said with some worry:"Is there something important that happened?"

If it's not an important matter, how can we alarm the old lady in the house? No matter what happens, we have to face it. Avoiding it won't solve the problem.

"Don't worry, auntie, no matter what happens, I will go over and take a look."Xun Yingju said happily

"I'll go over there with you and take a look."Ms. Bai was always worried and decided to go together.

Xun Yingju didn't refuse. Relationships are all about walking. If you always don't meet each other, let alone talk about your relationship, it would be good if you can remember your name and appearance.

Mother and daughter When they came to the main courtyard, there was a little girl in her teens watching at the door. When she saw the mother and daughter approaching, she immediately stood up and saluted, saying:"I have seen the third aunt and the sixth lady.""

"Get up, who's here? Xun Yingju didn't look into the garden. Instead, she stuffed a few pennies into the little girl's hand and asked in a low voice.

The little girl turned her head and looked around, saw no one around, and then whispered:"Master, Madam Both my aunt and my second aunt are here."

There are quite a lot of people here, and I don't know what happened that caused everyone from the Xun family to gather in the old lady's courtyard. After hearing what the little girl said, Bai's face turned pale, and she was obviously really worried.

Xun Yingju guessed Without knowing what was going on, she took Bai's hand and found that her little hand was cold. Looking at her face, she realized that this cheap aunt was really worried, so she could only comfort her in a low voice:"Auntie, don't worry, no matter what happens. Son, as long as I am here, you will never suffer."

Bai's mother's family was a scholar, but the family declined and there was no scholar like Xiucai in the family. At that time, her father and brother were ill and the family had no money for treatment. Bai sold herself to the Hu Mansion and was finally sent to the Xun Mansion.

As a slave, it is not easy to survive in the Xun Mansion. If something big happens today, Mrs. Bai will naturally be worried.

Without waiting for Mrs. Bai's reaction, Xun Yingju took the lead and walked into the main courtyard, came to the old lady Xun, bowed and saluted, and said:"See you, granddaughter." My grandmother is in good health."
