Rebirth of the concubine's scheming

Chapter 108

The carriage departed from the Eighth Prince's Mansion early in the morning. Seeing my uncle helping Yin Huan from the carriage, the smile on Mu's face became much warmer. He went to see Mrs. Gu first, and brought a lot of things back when he returned home. , One by one sent to uncle and aunt.

Seeing that Yin Huan's face was rosy, Mrs. Gu must have had a good few days, as long as the beginning is good, and everything will go smoothly. Mrs. Gu took her hand and instructed some family matters in detail. "Your mother is the most familiar with these matters. Although you are not the one who is in charge of the Eight Princes' Mansion, if you encounter anything that can help you, you will be helped."

Yin Huan nodded, and there was a crisp sound of "porphyrin" from the door. Mrs. Meng walked in holding brother Heng. The little guy hadn't seen his aunt for three days. He missed his aunt very much, and directly ignored his aunt. The man threw himself into Yin Huan's arms, sticking his head and refusing to come down.

"Brother Heng, this is uncle." Yin Huan pointed to Su Qianmo who was behind him. Brother Heng glanced at him, then suddenly stood up in Yin Huan's arms, waved his little hand, and exerted all his strength. Su Qianmo pushed aside the hand on Yin Huan's shoulder.

Su Qianmo's face darkened immediately, Brother Heng wanted to grin and cry for him, Su Qianmo was very wronged, why couldn't he touch his own wife.

Gu Yixin on the side smiled very unkindly, while Meng Shi called Brother Heng in embarrassment, Brother Heng looked at everyone with aggrieved eyes, hugged Yin Huan but did not let go.

It wasn't until after dinner that he was about to go back, Brother Heng was finally sleepy, Yin Huan then went to Mrs Mu's house.

Don't ask about anything else, the Mu family is most concerned about the attitude of the eighth princess. Hearing what Yin Huan said, he nodded, "Since the princess has arranged for someone, you can take them all. The key is whether this person can fit in or not." It depends on my uncle, he is sure of you, as long as there is no gap between you and your husband."

"Although people are sent by the princess, it's good to be able to raise them well. Let them know that even if they are sent by the princess, they will still have to rely on you to live in the future. The girls around you, Qing Ya, have married and had children. Now, just take it with Mother Xu, Er Dong and the others are not young anymore, and after two years of finding someone to marry, you will have nothing by your side, so you have to bring a few maids here earlier." Mu Shi suddenly found out that there was something to explain. Too much, a mother is worried about this and that, wishing she could take care of the yard for her, and tell her all the experiences she has had over the years.

Yin Huan wrote down everything one by one, and finally Mrs. Mu patted her head, "I remember when you first came to the Bauhinia Courtyard, you were a small person, who seemed to be so skinny from eating, and now you are married. .”

"Without mother's teaching, there would be no Yin Huan today." Yin Huan leaned in her arms, and Mrs. Mu smiled, "How can we talk about this between mother and daughter? My uncle's official position is not small at all. You have to show off, don't let people think that you are easy to bully."

"Go and see your aunt." After a while, Mrs. Mu said softly, Yin Huan was startled, and nodded slightly.

Aunt Zhou was sitting in the room embroidering things, she looked up at the sky from time to time, it was a bit dim, Yin Huan should have returned to the Eight Princes Mansion after dinner.

A maid's voice came from outside the house, saying that Miss Seven had come to see her. Aunt Zhou got up abruptly and nervously went to the bronze mirror to look at her makeup, and picked up a hairpin to put it on and take it off. Huan has reached the door.

Aunt Zhou looked at her and suddenly lowered her head to wipe her tears. She had given birth to this one child, and she didn't want to at the beginning, but when the child was born, she still wanted to give her the best. Now that she has grown up and married Aunt Zhou was happy for her from the bottom of her heart.

"Auntie, sit down quickly." Yin Huan pulled her to sit down. Aunt Zhou glanced at Su Qianmo who was standing behind Yin Huan, and kept saying, "Okay, okay."

"How is Fourth Aunt treating you?" Yin Huan felt the trembling in her hands and clenched them a little.

"Madam treats me very well. Aunt He and the others occasionally come to sit and sit down. Now I live a good life." Gu Yucheng almost never comes here. Because of Yin Huan's marriage, Sanfang is more considerate to Aunt Zhou. Now She lacked nothing and lived comfortably.

"Does Auntie want to leave the Gu Mansion?" Yin Huan asked suddenly, seeing the tears in her eyes. You asked someone to help me with the shelf, does Auntie the carpenter still remember?"

Aunt Zhou's complexion changed, then she shook her head, "I don't remember."

"Auntie, I'm not the third old lady, nor the fourth uncle or aunt. I sent someone to inquire about that master carpenter. The master carpenter is someone my aunt has known since childhood." At first, Yin Huan would suspect that it was because my aunt was in Gu's house. Status, you have to find someone outside for help, unless it is someone you know well.After some investigation, I found out that the master carpenter who helped her make the shelf was from the same village as my aunt when she was a child. Later, when my aunt came to Gu's house, the two made an appointment to get married when my aunt left the house at the end of her time.

"That master carpenter hasn't gotten married yet." Yin Huan looked at the faint sadness on Aunt Zhou's face, "Nowadays my fourth uncle has never been to any of my aunts' yards, if my aunt wants to leave, my fourth aunt will definitely agree. "

Aunt Zhou shook her head, "Madam is very kind to me, and I never thought about leaving here again." Maybe this wasn't what Aunt Zhou really wanted, but she didn't want to, and Yin Huan didn't say any more.

On the way back to the Eight Princes' Mansion after dark, Yin Huan was still thinking about Aunt Zhou. Perhaps the long life in the Gu Mansion had worn away her original persistence. Although she may not have been happy in the Gu Mansion, the long-standing habit Auntie had no longer thought about it. Another way of life is changed, but this is also good, at least I can be safe and secure in the Gu family, without worrying about food and clothing...

After five days, Su Qianmo was going to go to court, Yin Huan was free to start sorting out all her things, Er Dong took out the original gift list and dowry list, except for her two shops back then, In the Gu family's dowry, there was an extra Zhuangzi and two shops, plus the Yin Huan given by the Mu family, now there are six shops, two Zhuangzi, and a small garden given by the Sun family. These have to be taken care of.

Axi also sent some ledgers early in the morning, which belonged to some fields under Su Qianmo's name. In the past, the eighth concubine sent people to take care of them. Now that they are married, they are all returned to Yin Huan.

Su Qianmo's property has always been taken care of by Mother Tian assigned by the eighth princess in front of her. This is the son of the Eighth Prince's House. Mother Tian's husband works in one of the villages, and Yin Huan didn't hide it from her. When she was called, she set up those bills directly in front of her face.

In the past, if the concubine didn't look at it, she wouldn't leave it alone. She looked at it for an hour, and Tian's mother stood there for an hour. There was no other sound in the room except Yin Huan's flipping through the account book.

It has been five or six years since the eighth concubine handed these things over to Mama Tian. Her husband is in charge of the village. If he doesn’t get anything out of it, no one will believe it. But it’s a good job. After reading it twice, I only saw a few places.

"There is no big problem with the account." After a while, Yin Huan raised his head and looked at Mama Tian. Mama Tian breathed a sigh of relief, "This is what I should do."

"However, I have a few questions that I would like to ask Mama Tian." Yin Huan said slowly, "The Zhuangzi in Qinhe had a heavy rain a year ago, so there shouldn't be any damage. Why does the account say that most of it was lost?"

"The river didn't break down, but the heavy rain lasted for several days, and the things we planted were drenched to death." Tian's mother said cautiously.

"Oh? I heard from my elder brother that the dredging work was done very well at that time. Many fields in the surrounding villages were damaged, but the damage was not bad. It was not serious. You have lost most of it. Could it be someone else? The whole family is busy in the fields, and our family is hiding under the eaves to watch the rain." Yin Huan looked at her, the eighth princess doesn't care about these things, although the crown prince is the housekeeper, it's not easy to interfere with the people the princess sends directly, as long as this account If you do well, the money you have made over the years is probably enough to buy a big house in Lin'an.

"They all went to help in the fields, why are they hiding under the eaves?" Tian's mother said seriously, "Third Madam, if you haven't been there, you don't know. They were all lost, and some of the seeds that had just been planted floated up after two days."

"You mean that the officials in Qin Hena reported all the adulteration. In fact, the loss was huge, but the loss was not that big." Yin Huan took her words, if it wasn't for the elder brother who had stayed there for half a year. After many months, she would really be deceived.

"This..." Mother Tian didn't dare to talk nonsense when it came to government affairs. If she insisted on saying this, wouldn't it be her questioning the extent of Qin He's disaster, "I'm just telling the third lady about the situation in this field. I don't know exactly how much other people's homes have been damaged."

"Mother Tian, ​​if this is the case, either they lied about the situation and intentionally underreported it to fill their own pockets, or they were lazy to dredge it in the rain, resulting in a loss of more than half. The salary is enough, what do you say about these people!" Yin Huan's tone was not in a hurry, but Tian's mother was sweating behind her back when she heard that she was pocketing a lot of money.

"Mama Xu, help Mama Tian to find out what's going on, who is going to leave, Zhuangzi's work is something he wants to do." Yin Huan stopped looking at her and asked Mama Xu to take Mama Tian to leave. Called the next steward to come in.

It took Yin Huan three days to sort out these accounts. Fortunately, the ones brought by the Gu family were all clean, and Su Qianmo's didn't have many. I won't do it again in the future.

Yin Huan didn't hide anything from anyone when doing these things, the eighth concubine paid off quickly, and the eighth concubine was not very proficient in common affairs. Taking care of her, the eighth concubine turned around and asked the old mother behind her after hearing the report, "Mother Tian really has fallen so much?"

"I'm afraid it's almost the same." Guan's mother nodded, "Miss, since the third lady can handle these things by herself, you should worry less about it."

The eighth concubine remained silent, Mama Tian was not dealt with, it was Jin Congyuan who made a face for her, in her eyes, the daughter-in-law who should be worthless considered her mother-in-law's face, the eighth concubine was very subtle.

"Mrs. Gu can take care of the Gu family so well. Even if the third lady is just her stepdaughter, she must have learned a lot after being by her side for so long." Guan's mother said on the side, "The third young master is grown up and is a I understand, I won't disappoint Miss."

The eighth concubine's expression softened a little, and she thought of the attendants beside her son, "Send someone to find out who those two are."...

A few days later, Su Qianmo begged for the imperial order for Yin Huan, and at the same time, he will go back to Yangguan again. I wish you well this morning. The eighth princess is not in a good mood, and her son will return to Yangguan next month. It's closed, and I don't know how long it will be. Counting the whole time, it is only two months after the newlyweds. The feelings cultivated during this time fade away soon after returning.

A mother can't persuade her son to stay in Lin'an, and a daughter-in-law can't persuade her husband, so the eighth princess began to educate Yin Huan, no matter what, she must find a way to keep her husband, and marrying you is to let you keep your husband The heart, the heart can't be tied and can't be persuaded to go anywhere, so what's the use of it.

"My lord and I have agreed to find a job for him in Lin'an, you need to persuade him more." The eighth concubine didn't listen to her son anyway, so she could only place her hopes on Yin Huan.

"How long have you guys been married? He's going back to Yangguan. It's been a year and a half every time. Now he's a man with a family." The princess continued, Yin Huan nodded in agreement, and Su Qian was silent when he went out. Just tell her that no matter what the concubine mother says, you have to agree.

"It's my concubine, I will try to persuade my husband." Yin Huan agreed one by one, and the eighth concubine sighed, if the daughter-in-law here can't persuade, then what should I do.

In the evening when Su Qianmo came back to Yin Huan and told about this, Su Qianmo laughed and said nothing, just asked her, "Why don't you follow me to Yangguan?"

"You are going to fight, how can I go with you." A flash of hope flashed in Yin Huan's eyes, and he immediately covered it up. In the current situation, how could he go wherever he wanted.

"Just say whether you want to go or not. Are you willing to be separated from me for so long?" Su Qianmo didn't notice the coquettishness in his tone, Yin Huan looked up at him and smiled, "Did I say I wanted to go?" Can you go there?"

Only then did Su Qianmo hug her in satisfaction, and said triumphantly, "I knew you couldn't bear to part with me."

Yin Huan punched his fist, he pretended to be in pain and clutched his stomach, and received Yin Huan rolled his eyes again, Su Qianmo smiled nonchalantly, he liked to see so many expressions on her face.

Just as Yin Huan was preparing his luggage for Yangguan, a major event happened in the Crown Prince's Mansion. Concubine Jiang was grounded. The reason for the grounding was that the eldest son was ill after eating something given by Concubine Jiang. He was furious at such a blatant practice and grounded her.

Looking at the anxious Cheng Bi'er sitting opposite, Yin Huan signaled Er Dong to take someone out, and poured her a cup of tea, "How did you find out about this news?"
