Phoenix Indus

Chapter 36

Jun Xueqi left Nanny Chen and Nanny Feng beside Liu Linglan, and asked them to take care of Sister Ling and Brother Di with a nanny and maid.He was worried about them, so he left Nanny Shen and Shen Xinyue's mother and daughter in the Jinfu in the capital. First, they took care of the children and took care of them when something happened. The servant girl Lan Yu's lack of service made Jin Yuwen fall ill.

Master Jin, Mrs. Su, and Jin Yuxuan were very satisfied with Jun Xueqi's arrangement. While praising her for her thoughtfulness, they were also more fortunate to have listened to Jun Xuewen's arrangement and married her as a sequel.If it hadn't been for Jun Xuewen's request on his deathbed, the Jin family would never have dared to hire a young lady from the Jun family as a continuation.He must have asked a matchmaker to go to another family to find another marriage. The one who will marry back is either a concubine's daughter or a daughter of a small family. Who is willing to let the daughter of the concubine marry out of the house to be a sequel?

On the way back to Yongning, Jun Xueqi was depressed all the time. Madam Su thought that the young couple had quarreled, so she sent Nanny Li and the maids in her carriage to Jun Xueqi's carriage, and then sent Jun Xueqi Qi called into her carriage, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law held hands and said some thoughtful words, urging the young couple to reconcile.

Jun Xueqi knew that Mrs. Su had misunderstood her, but she didn't dare to express her worries, so she could only squeeze out a smile, and replied softly: "Mother-in-law wrongly blamed my husband, and my husband treated me very well and never wronged me. We get along It's going well, there is no quarrel, mother-in-law, don't worry."

Mrs. Su saw that Jun Xueqi wasn't bored because of the couple's affairs, so she became even more suspicious of her weirdness. She took her hand with concern, stroked it gently, and asked softly: "These few days have passed. You are often absent-minded, but what is it for? You have something on your mind, if it is not convenient to tell Yuxuan, just tell me. I am not only your mother-in-law, but also your own aunt, so naturally I stand by your side and try my best Protecting you. If you have any worries, just tell me, don't hold it in your heart, you will be bored. If you make a mistake, I can't explain it to my sister. "

Jun Xueqi knew that Mrs. Su really loved her. For more than ten years, she had always regarded herself as her own daughter, so she didn't hide any more, and told Mrs. Su truthfully what was worrying her.

It turned out that what Jun Xueqi was worried about was that after moving to the capital, it would be inconvenient to go back to Wenning to visit her relatives.It turned out that when she was in Yongning, she could always go back once or twice a year.But if you move into Duzhong, you may not be able to go back once in a few years.Thinking of Jun's mother, Mrs. Jun and her two younger brothers, she felt very sad.

After hearing what Jun Xueqi said, Mrs. Su felt the same way. After moving to the capital, Jun Xueqi couldn't go back to Wenning to visit her relatives, and she couldn't go back to Wenning to visit her relatives either.They all want to stay away from their natal family, move to a strange place with their husband's family, re-acquaint themselves with the local customs, re-acquaint relatives and friends, and start a new life.

Mrs. Su patted Jun Xueqi's hand lightly to show comfort, and said with a smile: "Your worry is not my worry. It's just that as the saying goes, if you marry your husband, where will the husband's family move? Naturally, you have to go wherever you want. Even if you are far away from your natal family and everything you are familiar with, you will feel uneasy, but you can only bear it in silence. Life will always go on. Don't worry, Yongning's ancestral property and ancestral business are still there, Yuxuan always If you want to come over for inspection, let him bring you back when the time comes, and you can go back to Wen Ning and stay at Jun's house for a while."

Hearing Mrs. Su's words, Jun Xueqi's eyes lit up, but then they darkened again. She shook her head slowly, and said with a wry smile: "The mother-in-law loves her daughter-in-law very much, and she is grateful. It's just that the daughter-in-law married into the Jin family, and she is Jin's daughter-in-law." The family is gone, and it should be the Jin family who pretends to be. How can there be any reason to miss the natal family all the time? Now that our sisters are married, two younger brothers are grown up, and there is a second brother-in-law and his family in Wenning. There is nothing wrong with the family. The daughter-in-law was just a little nervous and uneasy when she learned about the move to the capital. She was confused for a while, so she didn't understand it. Please ask the mother-in-law to see that the daughter-in-law is young and has inexperienced For the sake of it, please understand my daughter-in-law's panic."

Mrs. Su knew that Jun Xueqi should be more sensible, so she felt relieved, and smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry too much, there is your father-in-law and me, and Yuxuan is here. The meaning comes first, and the rules and etiquette will change a little bit, but the Grand Master and Tai Jun are generous and charitable people, and they will love you in your younger life, and will never make things difficult for you. As for the long house, the Grand Master and Yu Fei Yufei's daughter-in-law is not afraid, even the eldest aunt and second aunt are fine, as long as they don't provoke the eldest wife, Yuyu, and Yuyu's daughter-in-law. Of course, if they come to provoke us, we don't have to swallow our anger and speak out if we have grievances , Taiye and Taijun will uphold justice. In short, in the future, we will live together with Taiye, Taijun and the head of the house. As long as we abide by the etiquette and rules and do not do things that insult the family tradition, it will be fine. Don't worry too much about it. many."

After listening to Mrs. Su's words, Jun Xueqi also felt that she was thinking too much, so she nodded with a smile and said, "Mother-in-law taught me very well, it's my daughter-in-law who thinks things seriously."

After finishing speaking, seeing Mrs. Su in a good mood at the moment, she took the opportunity to ask: "Mother-in-law, after we return to Yongning, we will be able to see that Miss Zhang. Before, the husband wanted to keep Miss Zhang at our house and wait for her. After Jiji, prepare a generous dowry, choose a good marriage, and arrange a good home for Miss Zhang. But now, we are going to move to the capital, how will the girl be arranged? She is staying in the ancestral house in Yongning Why don't you come to the capital with us? Or, does mother-in-law have other arrangements?"

Mrs. Su has been busy planning the relocation these days, but she forgot about Zhang Lanyue.Now that Jun Xueqi mentioned it, Fang remembered that there are still such hot people.In fact, in her opinion, Zhang Lanyue's two elder brothers died to save Jin Yuxuan, and it was only natural for Jin Yuxuan to take her back to the Jin family to take care of her, and there was nothing wrong with it.

It's just that ever since Jin Yuyu talked about it with ulterior motives at the banquet, she felt that this matter might not be as simple as it seemed on the surface.At least Zhang Lanyue's character deserves careful attention. She doesn't want this life-saving grace to bring disaster to Jin Yuxuan and Jun Xueqi.Selfishly speaking, as a mother, she only wants to see her son and daughter-in-law live happily.I don't want someone with a heart to come and destroy the peaceful and stable life at home, as well as the happy and beautiful atmosphere.

Mrs. Su didn't want to mention these worries to Jun Xueqi, for fear of embarrassing her daughter-in-law, she smiled and said: "Your father-in-law and I will take care of Miss Zhang's affairs, so you don't have to worry about it, just take care of it." The relocation matters in your yard will be fine."

Jun Xueqi saw that Mrs. Su was unwilling to say more, so she stopped asking.Anyway, the mother-in-law would not let her interfere in this matter, so she was happy not to have anything to do with Zhang Lanyue.In her opinion, it is better to have one thing more than one thing less.Moreover, although Jin Yuxuan had confessed that he had no personal relationship with Zhang Lanyue, what Jin Yuyu said at the banquet still made her feel uncomfortable.Every time I think about what happened at that time, I feel sick for a while.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted and laughed for a while, then felt sleepy, pulled off the brocade quilts on both sides, and lay down next to each other in the carriage.After a while, he fell asleep because of the slight jolt of the carriage.

Erfang and his party returned to Yongning Jin's house, it was time for dinner.Manager Luo had already brought all the boys to greet him in front of the main entrance, and Nanny Luo had already ordered the kitchen to prepare hot water and dinner. When the masters came back, they could take a bath, change clothes, and enjoy a delicious dinner.

When everyone got out of the carriage, Master Jin ordered: "It's getting late, everyone go back and rest."

Mrs. Deng, Jin Yuxuan, Jun Xueqi, and Liu Linglan all agreed, and were about to send Master Jin and Mrs. Su back to the Meiyuan, so that they could go back to the yard to rest.He saw a weak woman dressed in white clothes come out of the mansion, stood on the steps of the main entrance, and bowed to everyone.

When Liu Linglan saw Zhang Lanyue's clothes and make-up, she knew that she had dressed up specially. She sneered in her heart, but she was not angry. She just looked at Jun Xueqi coldly, intending to watch a good joke.

Jun Xueqi had also guessed that this girl was Zhang Lanyue at this time, but Mrs. Su said that Mrs. Jin and her would take care of Miss Zhang's affairs, so Jun Xueqi was also happy to pretend not to know, and just stood quietly. Beside Jin Yuxuan, there was a gentle smile on his face, but he didn't say a word.

Master Jin gave Mrs. Su a habitual look, indicating how to take care of it at this time, after all, the affairs of the inner courtyard were taken care of by the head wife.

Madam Su smiled and nodded. Although she guessed that she was Zhang Lanyue in her heart, she still pretended not to know and asked with a smile: "What a pretty girl, I don't know whose family it is? Mrs. Luo, your relatives have come to seek refuge. ?"

Nanny Luo is Mrs. Su's dowry maid, so she naturally understood what the master meant, and said with a sneer: "Madam, you are joking, how can there be such a prosperous relative in the mother-in-law's family? This is the first time that the mother-in-law sees a guest without the invitation of the master." , self-assessment, wandering around."

After speaking, Zhang Lanyue's body trembled slightly, and the smile on her face froze. She blushed with embarrassment, her eyes were filled with tears, and she saluted Madam Su again with a little grievance, and said softly Said: "Little girl Zhang Lanyue, I pay my respects to the master and wife. Because I have been living in the Jin Mansion, I am very grateful for the care of the mansion, so I came here to say hello and thank you when I learned that the master and wife came back. Little girl I was born in a poor family, and I have not been taught the rules and etiquette. If there is any inappropriateness, I ask the master and wife to take care of it."

After Mrs. Su heard this, Fang suddenly realized with a smile: "Oh, it's Miss Zhang. Looking at my memory, Yuxuan told me about it before the Chinese New Year, but I forgot about it because of the busy Chinese New Year. gone."

After finishing speaking, with a stern face, he scolded Nanny Luo: "Mrs. Luo, you are getting older and have no rules. Miss Zhang is the sister of the third master's savior and the great benefactor of our Jin family. How can you be like this? What about neglect? Why doesn’t Ms. Zhang have a girl by her side? Didn’t you send someone to wait on Ms. Zhang?”

Nanny Luo hurriedly replied respectfully: "Madam calm down, mother-in-law dare not neglect Miss Zhang. After Miss Zhang entered Jin's house, mother-in-law allocated a room in the guest courtyard for Miss Zhang to live in, and specially sent a The big maid, two young maids and a woman went to wait on her. Three meals a day, fragrant tea and fruit snacks were all delivered on time, so I dare not treat Miss Zhang badly."

Zhang Lanyue knew that Nanny Luo was the headmistress of the Jin Mansion, and she didn't dare to offend such a decent manager before she had a firm foothold, so she hurriedly said, "Thank you, madam, for your concern. She took good care of her and never neglected the little girl, and the little girl is also very grateful to Mother Luo."

Mrs. Su looked at Nanny Luo and nodded in satisfaction. Fang smiled and said to Zhang Lanyue: "It's getting late, Miss Zhang, let's go back and rest first. We came back from the capital after a long journey. We haven't washed and eaten yet. No more greetings to Ms. Zhang. After breakfast tomorrow, I will invite Ms. Zhang to my yard to talk."

Zhang Lanyue hurriedly smiled and said: "Madam, you are too polite. The little girl didn't think carefully. Just because I was grateful, when I heard that the master and wife came back, I rushed over to express my thanks. Rest. The little girl will take her leave first, and she will go to greet the master and wife tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, he bowed to Master Jin and Mrs. Su, and then to Mrs. Deng, Jin Yuxuan, Jun Xueqi, and Liu Linglan. He took a meaningful look at Jin Yuxuan and Jun Xueqi before turning around and entering. .

Mrs. Su snorted coldly, and told Nanny Luo: "Miss Zhang is a guest of our Jin family, you should send more people to take care of you, and follow you every step of the way. Don't let Miss Zhang be wronged in our house. .”

Nanny Luo hurriedly agreed, glanced at Jin Yuxuan and Jun Xueqi from the corner of her eye, and stepped aside politely.Originally, she was still a little uncertain about Jin Yuxuan's intention to send Zhang Lanyue back. Although she didn't like Zhang Lanyue's pitiful appearance, she didn't dare to offend Jin Yuxuan.Seeing that Mrs. Su didn't like Zhang Lanyue very much now, and seeing that Jin Yuxuan hadn't stood up for Zhang Lanyue, although she didn't guess clearly in her heart, she knew that it would never be wrong to obey Mrs. Su's order.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Master Jin said again: "Okay, let's all go back and have a good rest. This tossing and going back and forth for nearly a month is exhausting both physically and mentally. Rest for two days first, and then discuss the matter after the spirit recovers. It's a big deal."

Jin Yuxuan and Jun Xueqi hurriedly agreed respectfully.Deng Shi and Liu Linglan didn't see Jun Xueqi's joke, and were very unwilling in their hearts. They were secretly scolding Zhang Lanyue for her incompetence, when they heard Master Jin's words, they had to withdraw their thoughts and agreed.

Mrs. Deng, Jin Yuxuan, Jun Xueqi, and Liu Linglan sent Master Jin and Mrs. Su back to the Plum Courtyard before heading to the Chrysanthemum Courtyard and Bamboo Courtyard.

At the fork in the garden, Mrs. Deng supported the maid, smiled at Jun Xueqi and said, "Aunt Third, this girl is Uncle Third's benefactor, Aunt Third should take good care of her, don't let people say that our Jin family doesn't know grateful."

After saying that, he glanced at Jin Yuxuan with a charming smile, and then smiled at Jun Xueqi, before turning around and walking towards the chrysanthemum courtyard.

Deng's words and smile made Jun Xueqi feel very uncomfortable, and even reminded Zhang Lanyue of the embarrassment she had brought to herself just now.Although he was angry in his heart, he didn't want to explode and hurt their relationship as husband and wife, so he could only tightly hold the handkerchief in his hand, restraining himself to calm down.

Jin Yuxuan was also feeling very uncomfortable at this time, it was originally a private affair that had no shadow, but he himself was open and frank, worthy of anyone.But let these spectators toss about it, and make the invisible things seem real, and make the little wife feel wronged.

Jin Yuxuan stretched out his hand in distress, held Jun Xueqi's hand tightly, and said in a gentle voice: "Don't think too much, no one understands my mind better than me, don't pay attention to those insignificant people. Let's go back, the weather It's getting darker, eat earlier, so you can rest earlier. The carriage is bumpy along the way, and you have worked hard, it's time to make up your body, rest, and don't get tired and sick again."

The heat from Jin Yuxuan's hand made Jun Xueqi's heart feel a little cold, but she warmed up again. She held Jin Yuxuan's hand behind her back and said with a soft smile, "Brother Xuan, let's go home."

In a word, Jin Yuxuan calmed down, nodded and said: "Well, let's go home."
