Concubine's plan

As if being told something central by Xun Yingju, Mrs. Liu nodded in agreement. She had not been in the capital for a long time, but she knew a lot of gossips circulating in the capital, including some rumors about the wife of the Marquis of Zhenguo, the Wei family. She had heard about it, but she had never seen Mr. Wei.

After hearing what Xun Yingju said, because the Wei family made a mistake, the Marquis of Zhenguo put her in solitary confinement, Liu family believed that the rumors about the Wei family were most likely true, but the Lu family was cautious in doing things, and no matter how they spread the message outside, no one would Stand up to refute or clarify, make things clear, and soon the rumors about Wei will disappear.

"Looking at it this way, a woman who marries into a deep house may not always live a happy life. If she meets a bastard, her life will probably be even more difficult."Ms. Liu sighed helplessly and said.

As for the matter of men taking concubines, the women of the Zhou Dynasty don't have many opinions. The problem is that no one will listen if they express their opinions, so they can only remain silent.

Don't talk about the capital. The powerful men are the Xun family who have not been to Anqing Mansion. After Xun Hongde married the Hu family, he took in Aunt Qin and the Bai family one after another. Now, both the Hu family and Aunt Qin have been imprisoned for making mistakes. They will have a hard time in the future. I wonder if Aunt Qin and Mrs. Hu were rescued by their children after such a long time?

The reason why Mrs. Bai was able to escape unscathed was because she had no status and no power when she was an aunt, even her only daughter. Unable to protect her, she later left the Xun Mansion with money in her hands. Her daughter got along well with Master Lu, Shen Yan and others, so she gained the attention of the Xun family and did not dare to let Xun Hongde manipulate her.

The son did not say anything about his parents. However, Xun Yingju couldn't say much about what Xun Hongde did, but she didn't agree with Xun Hongde's style of doing things, so she brought the Bai family to live in the capital, not wanting to conflict with the Xun family

"Today's customs are such that we can't control so much. As long as we take care of our own family affairs, we'll be fine. I guess my uncle and cousins ​​won't even think about taking concubines."Xun Yingju laughed, her tone full of joking.

"Hmm, if they keep concubines, if I don't kill them, they will start to make trouble as time goes by."Ms. Liu made a fierce look. If the two of them were not in front of her, it seems that if they were in front of her, she would probably have to deal with them and warn them of the consequences if they dare to take concubines.

Far away in Zhuangzi Mr. Bai and Mr. Bai Yucheng, who were sitting on the bed, couldn't help but sneeze at the same time. They couldn't help but wonder. The weather was too cold. Do you want to prepare more charcoal fires?

Seeing her sister-in-law looking like this, Mrs. Bai couldn't help but laugh. She asked for her eldest brother and nephew. Explanation:"I am afraid that I will disappoint my sister-in-law this time. Needless to say, my eldest brother is an honest man who only knows how to work in the fields. When he comes to the capital, he doesn't even go to see the colorful world, so he goes to Zhuangzi.

I watched that kid from Yucheng follow his elder brother, saying nothing to his wife, listening to her in everything, and never taking a concubine."

Mr. Bai's words were not just used to deceive Ms. Liu. The Bai family came from hard times. At that time, they could not even have a full meal. They only ate one meal a day during difficult times. Although it was hard work at that time, I have never heard anyone complain. The younger generation, such as Bai Yucheng and Bai Yujiang, have reached the age of marriage, but their families cannot afford the money to marry them. It was not until the appearance of Bai and Xun Yingju that the Bai family's situation improved. The changes have changed, raising chickens and selling braised meat, the Bai family has something to do, and each house has a good income. Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai are both open-minded old people and do not interfere in the affairs of their children's families, so the Liu family The days with my sisters-in-law were very comfortable.

They chatted and laughed for a while before Mrs. Bai brought the topic down to business and said,"Your aunt and I thought that although the environment in Beijing is good, we are all Coming from the countryside, I don’t know anyone here, and I don’t have anyone to talk to. Why don’t I live with you in Zhuangzi, and we can still take care of each other?"

"I see that the eldest princess likes Brother Heng very much. She even invited him to visit the Princess Mansion before she left. Let Brother Heng continue to study at home. Living in Zhuangzi will affect his study and offend the two of them. Sir is not happy."Ms. Liu said.

It seems that the two of them have already discussed the matter. No matter how much they try to stop Climbing, there will be no result. It is better to help the two of them. Xun Yingju thought to herself, nodded and said:"Mom and aunt are the elders, you two are crowded. It's been discussed, and I can't stop it, but the conditions in Zhuangzi are not as good as at home after all, so I must take good care of myself.

I asked people to send more charcoal, cloth and cotton. There are people in Zhuangzi who are good at needlework. I asked them to help make more autumn and winter clothes."

"Logically speaking, I shouldn't leave. When I give birth to a child next year, you will get married. I should prepare a dowry for you at home."Ms. Bai looked apologetic. She was sold into the Hu family as a girl by her family when she was a child. When she grew up, she was sent to the Xun family as a concubine by the Hu family. It can be said that she has never made her own destiny in her life. Now she relies on her daughter to take charge of the family. , but could not prepare a dowry for her daughter, and felt very sorry.

The marriage of Master Lu and Xun Yingju was scheduled for October next year. Months, so she was not in a hurry, but she also didn’t want her dowry to be shabby in Thailand, which would make her feel unbalanced. However, these things were not impossible to solve, so she was not polite. Instead of the shy expression of the girl, she felt comforted. Mrs. Bai came and said with a smile:"Mom, you can do these things in Zhuangzi, and you have your aunt and cousin to help you. It's much more convenient than doing it alone at home.""

"As he said this, we were also idle in the village. His father and Yu Cheng were in charge of growing vegetables in the greenhouse. We moved in and started preparing the dowry." Mrs. Liu agreed with Xun Yingju's words and nodded in agreement, fearing that the little girl would change her mind at any time. Mrs. Bai glared at Xun Yingju and said angrily:"The little girl is getting thicker and thicker. She can say such things, so she is not afraid of outsiders. Did you hear the joke?"

"Ha ha"

"Ha ha."

Xun Yingju and Mrs. Liu laughed together. They didn't expect that Mrs. Bai would be so cute. After finishing the matter, Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Liu stopped staying any longer. It was getting late, and they had to go back to pack their things and bring them to Zhuangzi for use. , I went to Zhuangzi this time, and my stay was not short. I couldn’t buy everything for use at any time, right?

Xun Yingju was worried that Bai would be tired. She spent a day with the eldest princess today, and she was probably very tired. If she still took care of it herself, I was afraid that I would be exhausted after packing my luggage, so I got up and took Yu Sheng with me to accompany Bai Shi back. With her here, Bai Shi didn't have to run around.
