Xu took Jinxiu back to Ning Xiangju, during which she was confined to the west wing of Fengxian Hall and never returned to her courtyard.

She instructed Xiangzhi and Guilan to take their subordinates to clean up the house, and she and Jinxiu sat in the pavilion in the corner of the courtyard.

Jinxiu did not hide it, and told her today's events in detail, "...... Wang Zichen is really a fool, it doesn't matter if she falls into the water, but she almost implicated me. Speaking of which, Qin Jinyi is really fateful, and he hasn't fallen like that. ”

Xu Shi nodded, and said thoughtfully: "She has only been back for more than a month, and she originally thought that she would be weak in the mansion, but who knew that her newly acquired Qianmo girl could protect her so thoroughly." ”

Jinxiu frowned and groaned slightly, "I see that she seems to have some skills, and I heard from the people of the Marquis of Changfeng Mansion that she still came out of the Yishan Hall, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with." That Qiao Wei is even more heartfelt to her, and it is really difficult to have these two people as her right-hand men. ”

said, and complained to her, "Why didn't you tell the old lady earlier?" It's good for me to come out earlier, you don't know how hard I've been these days, even the two girls I have close to me are not as respectful as before, not to mention other maids. That villain's face, isn't it a report now? ”

Jinxiu glanced at her. A little helplessly: "You sit in the room every day, but what's the difficulty?" If it weren't for the precarious situation I am in today, I would have liked to wait until the edict was issued. It's good to exhale and raise your eyebrows. ”

Thinking of her grandmother's cold eyes on her at the beginning, and her intimate and warm attitude later, Jinxiu laughed softly, "Our old lady's mind is actually simple, if it weren't for my good future, how could she relieve your ban so lightly." ”

Xu stroked her hair and sighed, "When you were young, fortune tellers said that you were born a Quaker. Now it has really come true, and it is not in vain that I have worked hard all these years. ”

Jinxiu smiled noncommittally.

In Li Xiangxuan, the eldest lady Lin sat in the middle. Aunt Wei and Aunt Jiang sat sideways on the chair at the bottom.

Lin sighed, his tone was a little sour, "The Xu family is just a good fate, originally just a noble concubine." It was corrected in a few years. Although he didn't give birth to a son, he gave birth to a daughter so well, and he really entered the eyes of the queen's mother, and in the future, our family will point to the glory of splendor. You see, now that I have only received the news, the edict has not yet come down, and the old lady has changed her order like this, and the Xu family can do such things as if nothing is happening. Think about it, I also feel sorry for my four brothers and sisters. ”

The two aunts of the big house have been extremely obedient and obedient under her training for many years, and they dare not say much after hearing her words. Aunt Wei cautiously agreed: "I'm just not worth it for my wife, I worked so hard to manage the affairs of the family a few days ago, and the old lady handed it over to the second lady immediately without any discussion." ”

Lin sneered contemptuously, "I'm not unfamiliar with this housekeeper's work, it's thankless. Don't ask me to do it earlier, didn't you see Xu's face today, it's really a villain. ”

Aunt Jiang smiled softly and said, "I originally thought that Sister Yi was a tough person, but I didn't expect it to soften so quickly." It seems that people are still better versed in current affairs, but even so, the second lady will not let her have many good lives. ”

"Really." Lin thought of the last time Jin Yi rejected herself like that, although he hated her, he still admired her backbone, but today she was so attentive, it was really unexpected. Could it be that she looks down on herself and would rather submit to the Xu family?

Lin snorted coldly, "I hope she can climb the high branches and step on them more steadily." ”

Turning his head to Aunt Wei, he said, "A few days ago, the master sent someone to say that he had found a good family for Xiang'er. I also wondered, now that the family is not as good as day by day, how can I climb to the family affairs of Chen Shangshu's family, but now I understand, presumably the news of the splendid matter has already been obtained by the court. ”

When Aunt Wei saw that she was talking about her daughter's relatives, she hurriedly asked, "Which Chen Shangshu?" ”

Lin glanced at her, "Look at your panic, we still have a second Chen Shangshu in the court?" It is the master's top boss, Lord Chen's house. Speaking of which, their Fangling Chen family is also a famous family that has flourished for hundreds of years, and Lord Chen is not yet fifty years old, and I am afraid that the position of this Shangshu will be done for several years. ”

Aunt Wei heard that she just didn't talk about the topic, and she faintly felt a little bad in her heart, and asked worriedly: "I don't know which son of Master Chen that the master wants to tell Xiang'er to Master Chen?" ”

Lin's face was a little unnatural, "...... is the second brother of Lord Chen, his wife disappeared last year, and he wanted our family Xiang'er to be his steproom. ”

Seeing that Aunt Wei's face turned pale instantly, she hurriedly continued: "I heard that they are in their early forties, and their two sons have already become families. Although it is a stepfamily, it can be regarded as a marriage of the Ming media, and when she enters the door, she is the second lady of the Chen Mansion, and she doesn't have to worry about the heirs. The old lady of the Chen Mansion has long passed away, although these rooms are in one house, but they are just living their own lives, such a trouble-saving parent, you still don't want to do it? ”

Aunt Wei frowned deeply, and muttered, "Xiang'er is only sixteen,...... That's a big difference in age. ”

"Although Xiang'er is the eldest lady of our family, she is not a concubine in the end. If it weren't for the splendid scenery now, Lord Chen might not have chosen someone in our family. Lin said slowly, "Although our family is also the Mansion of the Marquis of Qingrong, in the end, it is not the lord who inherits the title, do you still want to compare Xiang'er with Jinxiu?" She has such a look, and she doesn't have such a life. ”

Aunt Wei was so anxious that she rushed out, "Didn't the second lady also be an aunt in the past, where is the splendid and noble compared to Xiang'er?" ”

When Lin heard this, there seemed to be a smile on his face, "Then do you also hope that I will make room for you as soon as possible, just like the Jiang family?" ”

As soon as Aunt Wei said this, she knew that she was reckless, so she knelt down in the chair and cried again and again: "Madame forgives, I am in a hurry to speak, if I dare to have the slightest such thought, it will be intolerable to heaven and earth." ”

As he spoke, he kowtowed several times. When Aunt Jiang saw her kneeling, she was also busy kneeling, and she didn't dare to come out with her head down, for fear of affecting herself.

Lin Shi motioned to Ju Qing behind her to help the two of them up, she looked at Aunt Wei who was full of tears, and persuaded in a harmonious voice, "I naturally won't take what you said just now to heart, don't worry, although Xiang'er was born by you, she was also raised by me, and I am not much more worried than you." She is also old, and the people who came to propose marriage in the past were either concubines or the door was too low, I think the Chen family is still very good. You go back and talk to her, and if you want, I'll go and talk to the master." If you don't want to,......"

Speaking of this, she paused, Qin Zhiwu has never come back since she moved to Chaoxia Pavilion, she inevitably has some resentment in her heart, but after many years of husband and wife, she can't really expect him to be bad.

"You also know that our master is working under Lord Chen, and people can only afford to mention this family, if he refuses, I am afraid that it will inevitably be inappropriate for the master's career...... Ponder it for yourself. I'm tired too, so let's all disperse. ”

With that, he waved his hand to make the two of them stand back. (To be continued.) )
