Concubine's plan

The meal at the Hou Mansion broke up unhappily. Lu Dong'er was punished by Mrs. Lu in solitary confinement. The Xun family was present to witness everything. Lu Qing'er saw that her family members were either driven away or imprisoned. She remembered that before Lu Shaoyuan and Xun Yingju returned to the capital, although there were few people in the family, they lived a happy life with a loving mother and a filial son. Now the whole family has become fragmented.

This made Lu Qing'er feel that all this was the bad luck brought by Lu Shaoyuan and Xun Yingju. She looked at the two people with hatred in her eyes and immediately said:"This is all because of you. If you don't return to the capital, our family will not be here." there are so many changes"

"Shut up, your mother and your sister were punished because they did something wrong. What does it have to do with your eldest brother and Miss Xun."Lu Zhentao felt very helpless. The children who grew up around him were all raised crookedly by the Wei family. It was painful at first that the Wei family drove their sons out of the house, but now he is more grateful that the Wei family did this. Otherwise, these children They would all be raised crooked, but he didn't even have a successor.

Lu Qing'er naturally knew that Wei and Lu Dong'er had done something wrong, but her heart still hurt. Lu Shaoyuan and Xun Yingju didn't dare to say anything more. The people in the hall The atmosphere became more and more tense, and no one dared to say a word. At this time, lunch at the Zhenguo Hou Mansion was ready. In order to lighten the atmosphere, Mrs. Lu began to change the topic and invited everyone to eat noodles. Naturally,

Bai did not He would say something that made the Lu family unhappy at this time, but he followed Mrs. Lu's words and said:"In the past, we people also thought that fish was inedible. If it was not cooked well, it would smell like mud. Youranju The fish dishes made by the chefs taste different"

"Haha, after hearing what you said, I, an old woman, can hardly bear it anymore. I am dissatisfied with you saying that the fish made by my chef also smells fishy, ​​but eating fish is nutritious, so I can only endure it."Old Mrs. Lu is also a quick-witted person who speaks her heart directly.

"My niece is a good cook, and her relatives are very lucky people, so they are always blessed with good food. Ms. Liu said with a smile. She still remembered what happened in Hongshan Village. The braised meat and preserved egg business was very good, but it was because the taste was so good. Even those famous chefs may not be able to make such delicious dishes with ordinary ingredients. It tastes good.

I think the Bai family still relies on these two small businesses to make a living. There are many brothers and sisters in the Bai family, and many of them have no way of making a living. Now everyone can make money, and the family life is getting better and better. These are just a drag on The Bai family was very grateful to Mrs. Bai for Xun Yingju's good fortune.

Naturally, Xun Yingju didn't know about this. She couldn't come forward to speak when someone said something about herself. She just blushed and lowered her head in silence.

After the meal, she drank After having a cup of tea, Mrs. Bai stood up and said goodbye to the Lu family. They had met them now and felt a little uneasy, but they couldn't stay in the Lu family forever. So Ms. Bai smiled and said:"Old Madam, you are lucky. Yes, now you can see your grandson getting married. Judging from your body, you will definitely be able to see your great-grandson grow up, marry and have children.

It's getting late today. We have just arrived in the capital. We still have a lot of things to do at home, so I won't bother you anymore."

"Okay, okay, my wife needs a housekeeper, so she will naturally be busy. We will send a matchmaker to propose marriage in three days. You can just wait at home."Old Mrs. Lu also said with a smile. Her eldest grandson's marriage was settled so happily, which made her feel a lot better.

Although the Lu family has a small population, there are a lot of things going on. On this point, Ms. Bai was a little hesitant, but seeing that When the daughter heard about the marriage proposal, she still had the attitude of a shy little girl. She knew her daughter's thoughts and sighed in her heart. After marrying into the Marquis' Mansion, everything will be managed by her daughter. Whether she enjoys happiness or suffers only depends on her. Alone

"Madam, let’s leave first."Ms. Bai was still a little unhappy. She just smiled and greeted Mrs. Lu. She also wanted to go back and ask her daughter about her thoughts. If her daughter was still willing to marry Lu Shaoyuan after seeing what happened in the Lu family, she would not stop her..

A group of people left the Hou Mansion and returned to Xun's house. They all arrived in Bai's yard. After sitting down, Mrs. Liu said with some anxiety:"The Lu family has given back a lot of cloth and gifts today. Do we really want to accept them?" ?"

"Ju'er, do you really want to marry Master Lu?"Ms. Bai did not directly answer Mrs. Liu's words. Instead, she asked Xun Yingju what she thought.

"Mom, wasn’t this already agreed upon?"Xun Yingju asked with some confusion.

It seems that her mind has not changed. Bai lamented in her heart that she only had this daughter, and she didn't know whether the child in her belly was a boy or a girl, so she was more concerned about this grown-up daughter. They also hope that their daughter will live a happier life.

Of course, Xun Yingju and Liu didn't know about this, but seeing Bai's expression, they knew that they could keep the gifts sent by the Lu family this time. There were so many pieces of cloth, all of which were made of good materials. Women will like it when they see it.

After confirming Xun Yingju's intention, Bai Shi nodded and said:"Sister-in-law, those fabrics are good, you can pick some and take them back to make clothes."

Winter is coming soon, and the winter in Beijing is very cold. You should always prepare more cotton-padded clothes."

"How embarrassing is this? We have already spent a lot of money on Liu Yatou when we come to the capital. Tomorrow my daughter-in-law and I will go to the village to find the old man. If we still take things, they will nag us." He said polite words, but the smile on his face was very happy.

"I have to leave so soon, so I have to stay in the city for a few more days."Mr. Bai arrived in the capital for the first time and is not familiar with the surrounding neighbors. In the past few days, Ms. Liu and Ms. Zhu have been accompanying her. The three of them did show work and chatted together, so they would not be lonely. If the two of them left, she would be the only one. People want to be lonely and cold.

Mrs. Liu saw her sister-in-law's thoughts, but she couldn't live here forever, so she smiled and said:"The house on Zhuangzi has almost been built. The old man sent someone over to let us live together. Fortunately, Zhuangzi It's not far from the capital. If anything happens, we'llIt is also very convenient to take a bullock cart here."

Mr. Bai thought that this was indeed the case, so she no longer struggled with this issue, but smiled and said:"Sister-in-law is right, you need to bring more cloth and food to go there. After all, the conditions in Zhuangzi are not as good as in the mansion, brother. He Yucheng always needs food and clothing. Now is the time to put in effort, and he cannot lose his body and bones."

"As an aunt, you still feel sorry for them, so I have to step aside now. Mrs. Liu laughed and teased Mrs. Bai, with a smile on her face.

When Mrs. Zhu heard her aunt mentioning her husband, she felt very sweet in her heart. Her little face was red and she lowered her head and did not dare to speak, but everyone could see that she Her heart felt sweet.

When she heard that business was being discussed, Xun Yingju's face became serious, and she said,"We can't delay things in Zhuangzi. Tomorrow, my aunt and I will go to Zhuangzi to have a look.
