Phoenix Indus

Chapter 43

And when it came to the day when Shen Xinyue "returned to the door in three dynasties", because she went out from the ice courtyard, and her mother, Nanny Shen, was Jun Xueqi's nanny, so Jin Taijun specially sent a message to ask Jun Xueqi to buy it in the ice courtyard. Going back to the banquet, ask Shen Xinyue to kowtow to Jun Xueqi and Mother Shen.

Nanny Shen is Jun Xueqi's nanny, she has served Jun Xueqi for 16 years, and she is also the most capable confidant by her side.Shen Xinyue also grew up with Jun Xueqi since she was a child. Although she is a maid, she is similar to her sister.The old Jun Xueqi got Jin Taijun's words, and she was happy to buy a sumptuous banquet to celebrate Shen Xinyue and earn some face for Shen Nanny.

In the morning, after breakfast, Jun Xueqi waited on Jin Yuxuan to put on her robe, and said softly, "If you're busy outside today, that's fine. If you're free, don't come back too early, go sit with the second brother. Xin Come back to the door today, if we have fun in the yard for a day. You come back early, it’s not cheap, why don’t you go to the second brother’s place for a few drinks to relieve the boredom of the second brother. The second brother is weak and only Resting in the rain courtyard, either lying down or sitting, it’s so boring.”

Jin Yuxuan nodded in understanding, and said with a smile: "Now that Xinyue is married to the second elder brother, she is getting too arrogant, but she is just going back to visit relatives, and even I am not allowed to go home."

Jun Xueqi knew in her heart that what he said was a joke, but she couldn't help being amused by him in her heart, so she gave him a light thump, and said with a smile: "There is no serious one, and I am not afraid that the maids will hear it. You can make a big joke. "

The young couple spoke a few words of kindness tenderly, and Jin Yuxuan rushed to greet Mrs. Jin, and then went out to take care of business matters.

Now it is different from before, Grandpa Jin wants to cultivate him as the heir of the Jin family, there are really many things to learn, rules to know, and people to meet.For several days in a row, he was busy until late at night before he could bid farewell to Mrs. Jin and return to the ice courtyard to catch his breath and have a rest.

Not to mention going to Yuyuan, drinking a few glasses of wine with Jin Yuwen, even if he wants to hug Jun Xueqi and sleep soundly, it is extremely rare.

Seeing that Jin Yuxuan had gone out, Xiangxue walked into the Xinuang Pavilion, and asked Jun Xueqi with a smile, "Grandma, the small kitchen in our courtyard is already preparing the banquet. I wonder if Grandma has any orders?"

Jun Xueqi thought for a while, then ordered: "Ask the small kitchen to cook only four good dishes, send two dishes to the Buddhist courtyard, and honor the old lady, and send two dishes to the Luyuan and Shuangyuan respectively, and honor the eldest lady." And our wife. I would like to tell everyone in our yard that although it was ordered by the old lady to hold a home banquet for Aunt Shen in our yard today, it must be a small matter in our yard. You must go outside the yard and make a scene, if you make a joke, I will definitely punish you severely."

Xiangxue agreed with a smile, turned around and went out to pass on the message.

Here Jun Xueqi ordered Shui Ling again: "Go to Mother Shen and tell her not to come and serve today, just pack up and sit in the room and wait for Xinyue to come back. Just say it's mine, today is hers On a good day, I will let her take a day off, let her have a leisurely day, and don't have to go out to do errands. Yueling and you will take care of everything in the yard, don't let Shen's mother worry . If there is anything, we will talk about it tomorrow."

Shui Ling knew that Jun Xueqi was considerate of Nanny Shen's feelings for marrying a daughter, so she happily agreed, praised Jun Xueqi for her thoughtful words, and then left the front room to go to Nanny Shen's room in Dongkuayuan.

Yue Ling poured the fragrant tea and served it, and said with a smile: "Grandma is a kind and generous person, and she treats the servants sincerely, and never treats the servants as human beings. Let's talk about the joy of Sister Xinyue's return today." , Seeing grandma happy, with a smile on her face all the time, it's like my sisters are coming home to visit relatives."

Jun Xueqi took the tea, drank a couple of sips, and sighed with a smile: "You all have followed me since childhood, not so much as maids who serve me, but as sisters who accompany me, and I treat you with sincerity. Besides, Nanny Shen is my nanny. She took good care of me when I was a baby, and later accompanied me to marry into the Jin family. When it comes to hard work, Nanny Shen is the first She has only one daughter, Xinyue, and now she has finally found a good home, so I am naturally happy for their mother and daughter."

After saying that, she looked at Yueling with a smile, and said jokingly, "Don't worry, Xinyue's marriage is over, so it's time to discuss your marriage with Shui Ling. Since ancient times, 'women are not allowed to stay', if I put you The sister stayed for a long time and became an old girl, and you sister turned your back on it, but you will blame me as the master, and I don't know how to feel sorry for your sister."

After speaking, Yue Ling blushed, shook her hands in embarrassment, and hid in the main room.

Jun Xueqi knew that she was embarrassed, so she didn't get angry because of her rudeness. She just smiled and drank the tea in the cup, then got up and dressed, and went to Dongkuayuan to visit Lingjie and Digeer .

Since I moved into Jinfu, the capital city, I have to serve Jin Taijun, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Su, and I have to apply for concubines from the Liu family, Deng family, Bai family and other courts, and take care of the elder brothers and sisters of the various courts. .It can be said that Jun Xueqi is too busy to live in peace, and her heart for Jin Yuxuan, Sister Ling, and Brother Di is a little bit weaker.

Because Jin Taijun intends to cultivate her ability to be a director of the family, he often takes the officials, businessmen and women who she applies for to come and go, and also entrusts her to take care of some government affairs.It took Jun Xueqi a lot of effort to flatter the wives, grandmas and ladies outside, and to get acquainted with the stewards and mothers-in-law in the mansion.

Today, taking advantage of Shen Xinyue's return home, Jin Taijun granted her a day off, so she didn't dare to really rest in the front room, and wanted to go to Sister Ling and Di Geer to take care of her while she was free. , to see how well the children are doing these days.

Since they hadn't seen their mother for two days, Sister Ling and Brother Di were a little unhappy. The siblings were playing around in the courtyard of Dongkuayuan, and when they saw Jun Xueqi, they ignored her and just pouted and sulked. .

Seeing this, Jun Xueqi was not only not angry, but also very happy.This proves that the two children really accepted her, cared about her love for them, and did not take her as a stepmother seriously.So be patient and spin around to make the two children happy.

After coaxing the two children to smile, the three mothers sat at the stone table affectionately, drinking fragrant tea, eating fruit and gossiping.Jun Xueqi also asked Nanny Chen and the two nannies about the recent situation of the two children. Knowing that everything was fine, she nodded in relief, and after giving some instructions, she left the Dongkua courtyard.

As soon as Jun Xueqi returned to sit down in the west warm pavilion in the front room, she heard Xiangyu laughing outside: "Grandma, Aunt Shen of the Yuyuan came to greet grandma."

After hearing this, Jun Xueqi quickly put down the tea in her hand, sat on the kang couch and waited.After a while, Nanny Shen walked in with Shen Xinyue, politely greeted Jun Xueqi, and stood aside.

Seeing this, Jun Xueqi laughed and said, "Mama and Xinyue should both sit down, what are you doing standing there? When there was a difference between master and servant, I didn't want you to set rules, but now it's considered married, where are you?" Are you going out of your way again?"

Shen Nai and Shen Xinyue also felt it was funny when they heard this, they confessed to Jun Xueqi, and sat down on the kang couch.

Xiang Yu grinned and poured the fragrant tea and served it, then she retreated to the small hall to wait for the summons, not daring to interrupt their conversation.

Shen Xinyue is the daughter of Nanny Shen. She was raised by Nanny Shen strictly since she was a child, and she knows the rules and etiquette very well.Although she married Jin Yuwen as a concubine, she didn't dare to put on airs of her aunt in front of Jun Xueqi.So after Xiangyu went out, she hurriedly picked up the fragrant tea on the kang bed, walked slowly to Jun Xueqi, knelt down, and raised her arms to serve the tea: "It is thanks to the grace of grandma that Xinyue can get such a good home. , Xinyue thank grandma for her love."

Jun Xueqi was very relieved to see that she was still respectful of etiquette and did not forget her duty as a servant of the Jun family because she climbed a high branch.Smiling, she took a sip of the tea, took the red envelope that had been prepared, and stuffed it into her hand.Then he pulled her to sit down beside her, patted her hand, and said with a smile: "Now it's not like before, when you marry the second master, you are the second master's man. Everything should be based on the second master's reputation, Don't hurt the face of the second master because of our relationship between master and servant. In the future, it is better for us to get along with each other, and we can't talk about the master and servant in the past. Don't let others pick on the courtesy and say that we The Jun family doesn't understand etiquette."

Shen Xinyue nodded politely and said: "Grandma is right, Xinyue has lost her sense of proportion. Please rest assured, Grandma, Xinyue will never dare to ruin the reputation of the Jun family."

Nanny Shen was listening, and she said to Shen Xinyue seriously: "Although what grandma said is reasonable, you have to understand it clearly in your heart. If the wife hadn't pitied us back then and accepted us into Jun's house to serve grandma, our mother and I would have starved to death long ago. Now, thanks to grandma, you have got such a good home again, and you can be regarded as half master in this golden mansion. The kindness of your wife and grandma, you must always keep it in your heart, and never betray the master. Otherwise, don’t blame the old woman for not caring about the love between mother and daughter, and personally end you, and then apologize to the wife and grandma.”

Shen Xinyue got up hurriedly, knelt down and kowtowed to Jun Xueqi and Shen Nai each, and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, grandma, please rest assured, mother. Although Xinyue was born as a servant, she also understands the principle of loyalty. No matter what No matter what the fate of Xinyue is, she only recognizes grandma as her master, and she will never do anything to blame grandma."

Jun Xueqi nodded with a smile, helped Shen Xinyue to get up, and said to Nanny Shen with a smile: "Xinyue is not such an ungrateful person, mother should not wrong her. Today is the day of great joy for Xinyue to return home. We should be happy for a day, mother, why bother to talk about those disappointing things? Let's talk about ourselves and be serious. From now on, Xinyue will live in Yuyuan, so naturally she can't always live in Bingyuan. If you want to sit together and talk in the future, it is really rare to have free time."

After finishing the words, she dragged Nanny Shen to greet Shen Xinyue's newlywed life.

At noon, Jun Xueqi ordered someone to place the banquet on the open space in front of the main room, and took Shenmao, Yueling, Shuiling, Xiangyu, Xiangxue, and the maids to have fun, and had a lively and festive meal with Shen Xinyue Go back to the door for wine.

After the banquet was over, Jun Xueqi asked Shen Xinyue to accompany Nanny Shen back to the house to talk about herself, while she went back to the inner room of the main compartment. After washing and changing clothes, she drank a bowl of strong ginseng tea and lay down on the bed to sleep. went.

After Jun Xueqi woke up, Shen Xinyue followed Nanny Shen to come in and ask for resignation.Jun Xueqi instructed her a few more words, gave her the homecoming gift that she had prepared earlier, and Fang sent Xiangyu to take her back to Yuyuan.

Shen Xinyue stepped out of the ice courtyard, and Nanny Shen couldn't hold her back, and she was afraid of losing her composure in front of Jun Xueqi, so she hurriedly used the excuse of drinking too much wine to ask Jun Xueqi for leave, and hid in the house Go sad.

Although Jun Xueqi didn't say anything on the face, she understood Shen Nanny's abnormality in her heart.Mothers are the same all over the world. They are happy when they marry their daughters, but they will be sad for a long time afterwards.
