Lord Tong patiently told his wife about the mountain field and the water field, and after Mrs. Tong heard it, she couldn't help but have tears in the corners of her eyes, "Husband, it is indeed not easy for the girl of the Han family, and it is even more rare for her and General Shen to be together." I'm a woman in the house, and I don't know anything else, but in the future, let's not get involved in the affairs of the Shen family. Even if General Shen cannot inherit the Guogong Mansion, his achievements may not be under the Guogong. We should be good friends with him, and on the other side of the Shen family, it is better to have less contact. ”

"What Madame said is very true, in fact, I have very little contact with the Guogong Mansion." Master Tong smiled and hugged his wife, "You and I husband and wife, I want to go together." ”

In Tong's house, the husband and wife are harmonious and happy. But the mansions of Master Li and Lord Zhou are filled with gunsmoke at this moment. Mrs. Zhou led her two stepdaughters back to the house, and then went straight to the courtyard where she lived. As soon as she entered the courtyard, Mrs. Zhou asked people to guard the courtyard gate, and no idle people were allowed to wait over.

When they entered the house, Mrs. Zhou sat down and glared at the two stepdaughters. "You two evil obstacles, don't you kneel down quickly."

Zhou Xinyao and Zhou Xinyue were stunned on the spot, "Mother, what did you say?" Zhou Xinyao looked at her stepmother sitting above, her big eyes full of unwillingness and contempt. For this stepmother, their sisters didn't have a good impression from the beginning, but they just relied on their youth and beauty to win their father's heart. Why are they so proud of their sisters?

It's just that people have to bow their heads under the low eaves, and the stepmother is also a mother after all, and their relatives have to point to the stepmother to help. So I had to follow my stepmother's side and pleased him in a low voice.

"What do I say? I said get you on your knees. Do you think that what you are doing today is something that no one else knows? Be stupid, don't think people are as stupid as you. Mrs. Zhou was so annoyed in her heart, she didn't have to see what happened in Tong Mansion today, she could know that it was Xin Yao's hands and feet. This girl, do you really think that the big guys are stupid? The handmaid had gone wrong behind her, and if she hadn't stumbled, what could it be?

Zhou Xinyao's heart skipped a beat, she thought she was doing something very hidden, but she didn't expect her stepmother to say that. "Mother, the daughter doesn't understand the mother's words, the daughter doesn't do anything."

"Hmph, I'm still hard-mouthed. You took advantage of the servant girl's efforts to serve the food, stretched your feet behind and tripped the servant girl, do you really think that no one else knows? The prefect's family banquet guests, every inch of the floor in that hall will be checked several times. How could something stumble over a girl's foot? You were sitting on an embroidery pier, and it was very easy to stretch your feet back, and you really thought that others would not be able to see it? Idiot. Mrs. Zhou's chest was not short and undulating, and her face was also red.

As soon as Zhou Xinyao heard her stepmother tell her about the situation at that time, her face immediately changed. She thought she was careful and no one would find out, but she was picked up by her stepmother herself. Her face turned pale all of a sudden, and her stepmother could know that the other people in the scene were not stupid, so naturally they would understand. It's over, after I do, I won't be able to see people in the state city.

"How stupid do you have to be? I told you a thousand times that you must treat the Han girl well. Only when you are close to her will you have the opportunity to meet General Shen in the future. Except for going to the barracks, General Shen was inseparable from the Han girl the rest of the time, and he didn't even look at other girls. ”

"You haven't seen the Lantern Festival last year. It's really stupid, if you are good friends with Miss Han, you can often go in and out of the mansion over there, and you will have more opportunities to see General Shen. The old man is smart, how can he raise a stupid child like you. ”

Mrs. Zhou didn't wait for her daughter to argue, and then said, "Now that the matter has come out, you don't have to think about anything, then Miss Han is not a fool, you will understand when you think about it." Well, I'll tell your father to send you two back to your hometown, and think about marrying your relatives there. ”

When the sisters of the Zhou family heard this, they immediately knelt in front of their stepmother, "Mother, my daughter knows that she is wrong, and I beg my mother not to send her daughter back." Mother, please. The two of them walked to Mrs. Zhou on their knees, hugged Mrs. Zhou's legs and cried.

"There's no way, now in other houses, I'm afraid it's long since I came back, and no one will think about marrying our family in the future." Large families pay the most attention to the character of their wives. If you marry a narrow-minded person, will you be able to have a peaceful life at home in the future? If you marry a wife and marry virtue, if you are not virtuous, who else will come to propose marriage?

When Zhou Xinyao heard this, she immediately sat on the ground, "Mother, please help your daughter." Only then did she remember to regret it, but unfortunately, it was too late.

Another fellow acquaintance, Master Li's house, is basically similar to this, but Mrs. Li is her mother, so she can't bear to feel distressed. Lord Li pleaded beside him again, and finally just grounded his two daughters for half a year, during this period, he just found a family to marry as soon as possible.

However, the two daughters of the Li family don't think about being popular all day long, but they like to dance knives and swords, learn some flower boxing and embroidery legs, and this reputation can be regarded as spreading. Ordinary people are also reluctant to marry them, and in the end, the two girls can only marry far away, which naturally goes without saying.

A banquet, in the end, there was a lot of uproar, a few happy and a few sad, this was also something that Mrs. Tong never expected. Mrs. Tong prepared another gift the next day, and sent someone to the other courtyard, which was regarded as an apology for Yunxue.

Yun Xue had no choice, so she prepared some return gifts, and personally wrote a letter to Mrs. Tong. The letter stated that because Shen Hongjun went on the expedition, she was in suspense day and night, and she really didn't have the ability to hold another banquet, and on the day of Shen Hongjun's triumph, she would definitely invite Mrs. Tong and others to come over the house to get together.

After sending the people from Tong Mansion back, Yun Xue sat in the Xinuan Pavilion of Luoxia Pavilion in a daze. Shen Hongjun has only been gone for four or five days, and she feels as if a long time has passed, and she is thinking about it tightly. Sure enough, when this love is strong, the lovesickness is in the bones. Yun Xue suddenly didn't want to do anything, so she sat down like this.

However, she really didn't have much time to spare, and before she could do anything, there were people going back and forth outside. After all, the Lantern Festival is about to pass, and how to prepare in the other courtyard has to be decided by Yunxue.

A few mothers-in-law outside came in and stood respectfully in front of Yun Xue. Since Yun Xue made a big deal out of these stewards in the other courtyard, she found out a lot of things, and then dealt with several stewards. Now these people are convinced of Yun Xue. "Girl, the next one is the Lantern Festival, how do we arrange it in the house, and ask the girl to show it."

Yun Xue thought for a while before she said, "The general went out to fight, and he slept outside, suffering and suffering. We should not be too expensive at home. This year's Lantern Festival, you can only hang some colorful lanterns in the courtyard, and the rest of the ice lanterns and the like are not needed, so you don't have to waste money. On the night of the Lantern Festival, it's good to get some wine and food. You don't have to prepare too much for fireworks or anything, and there are no boys here now, so there's really no need to do this. ”

Yun Ting and Yun Lei went to the capital, Yun Zhen and Tianfu followed Shen Hongjun on the expedition, and the boys in the family were not there, so the fireworks were boring.

After listening to Yun Xue's words, those in charge knew that the girl wanted to save money and not have to spend so much. "When the general goes out to fight, if we are still singing and dancing at home, and we are jubilant, it is really not good. The girl was thoughtful, so I did as she told me. ”

Yun Xue waved her hand, and these people went out.

These mothers-in-law had just gone out, and Han Yue'e and Yunni came in from outside, "Yunxue, do you have any time?" Let's go out with my aunt. I just heard from your uncle that all the shops on the street are now open, and it's time to go shopping for something. ”

Originally, the shops on the street should have opened at the age of sixteen, but because of the Dongyi people's troubles a few years ago, everyone didn't have the intention of celebrating the New Year, and many things were not prepared. The people of these shops are also ghosts, and they have been open for business since yesterday. I didn't expect the effect to be really good, and the business was very prosperous. There are those that haven't opened, and when I saw such a bustle, I opened them all today.

Yun Xue was also bored at home, and she happened to accompany Han Yue'e out to buy some things, so she was going out for a walk. So, the carriages and horses were prepared outside, and Yun Xue changed their clothes and prepared to go out together.

Aunt Fang is from the capital and has good eyesight, so Han Yue'e specially asked her to help. Jinxiu is now three months pregnant, the fetus is stable, and she is also bored at home, so Yunni pulls Jinxiu together and goes out shopping.

Needless to say, Yunxia knew that she was going out, and she jumped happily, so she had to follow. Yunxue also knew that Yunxia was suffocated at home, so she asked the girls to follow, mainly to take care of Yunxia and Jinxiu. The group also took the girl and the mother-in-law, good guys, there are really a lot of people, so they got into the carriage and went shopping in the most lively and prosperous place in the state city.

Han Yue'e mainly buys things for her son's marriage, Shen Ji's shop, there are many good things, and the price is fair. Besides, there are still clouds and snow, and there are a lot of discounts. Therefore, everyone did not have to go elsewhere, but went directly to Shen Ji's Silk Village and Silver Building.

Because of the war a year ago, in fact, many families stopped handling their children's family affairs. Now that the imperial court has sent troops to fight, and the Great Zhou side has settled down, people will inevitably hurry up. So in the silk village, there are really a lot of people, and many people come to pick up some cloth for happy events.

The steward of the silk village knew Yun Xue, and when he saw Yun Xue coming, he hurriedly invited them to a box in the middle. And according to what Han Yue'e said, let the guy come over with a lot of samples and choose them at will.
