Chapter 74
Xu Chunjun was busy making the dowry for the third aunt, and she was making almost all the things that Xu Lang was close to.

Other female family members of the Xu family, including Wei's mother and daughter, also worked together to help.

Of course, some people are because Xu Lang has worked so hard for her natal family for so many years, and now she has to do her best to prepare for her life's major events.

There were also people who tried their best to curry favor because of Xu Lang's high marriage and would have to have her favor in the future.

Xu Chunqiao likes to work with Xu Chunjun. When they were in their hometown, they often practice needlework together.

"Fifth sister, do you think my mandarin duck eyes should be traced again with peacock gold thread?" Xu Chunqiao asked Xu Chunjun holding up a flower stretcher, "I'm afraid the gold thread is not enough."

"This dress is for the third aunt to serve tea on the second day of her wedding, so don't be careless." Xu Chunjun said with a smile, "Don't worry about the gold thread, the Chen family sent it enough."

While they were talking, Xu Chunsu also came.

Xu Chunjun invited her to sit down and asked the servant girl to bring tea.

Xu Chunsu has always been a lazy person. She is not good at needlework, but she is greedy for work. She took all the work from Xu Chunjun and Xu Chunqiao, looked at it pretendingly, and said, "Why don't you use more of the peacock gold thread?" ? Are you saving it for your own use?”

"Fourth sister, this peacock gold thread is very particular. It doesn't mean that the more you use the better." Xu Chunqiao is also a gentle person, so she explained to Xu Chunsu with a smile.

But Xu Chunsu didn't hear these words very much. She felt that Xu Chunqiao was laughing at herself, so she immediately retorted: "What's more important than not? I only know that pure gold is more valuable than adulterated ones. I am the third aunt's direct relative." My niece naturally wants her to use the best."

She bit the word "direct relative" especially hard, because Xu Chunqiao and Xu Chunjun were both descendants of concubines.

But these two people don't like to quarrel, Quan Dang couldn't understand the meaning of Xu Chunsu's words, just continued to do the work in hand, and didn't refute her.

The more indifferent these two people were, the more unhappy Xu Chunsu felt.

She always felt that Xu Lang was biased, obviously she was her own niece, but Xu Lang was obviously more partial to Xu Chunjun, even treating Xu Chunqiao better than herself.

But she forgot that when he was in Siyuan's hometown, Xu Daoan was imprisoned by the government.

She, her mother, and her elder brother wanted to push Xu Lang out of the Xu family and take charge of the family by themselves.

He even went so far as to instigate the second wife to force Xu Lang to marry the county magistrate as a concubine.

However, although she was aggrieved in her heart, she did not continue on the surface.Instead, sit there, drink tea and eat snacks.

After eating and drinking enough, I clapped my hands and said, "I'll go to see my third aunt. There are so many things going on now, and I can't do it without helping to cook."

Hearing what she said, Xu Chunjun put down his needle and thread, got up and said, "Then fourth sister, go slowly."

When she left, Xu Chunqiao couldn't help shaking her head and said with a smile: "These four younger sisters are real too. The older they get, the more they look like children. They just like to compete in some trivial matters. It can be seen that the third wife is too spoiled for children."

Xu Chunjun just smiled, and asked the servant girl to come in and clean up the fruit shells and melon seeds that Xu Chunsu ate on the table and on the ground.

In fact, Xu Chunsu didn't leave the door, but stood outside and listened to what the people inside said.

Xu Chunqiao's words made her very angry, so instead of going to Xu Lang's side immediately, she went to the back garden to find her younger brother Xu Daokai.

Xu Daokai is only 12 years old this year. When the three Xu family brothers were exiled, he was not yet one year old.

With a mother like Wei, and brothers and sisters like Xu Daoan and Xu Chunsu as role models, Xu Daokai's virtues can be imagined.

"Brother Kai," Xu Chunsu handed him a piece of crispy candy in his sleeve, "Third sister and fifth girl hid some good things and refused to give them to us, what do you think we should do?"

"These two girls are raised!" Xu Daokai opened his mouth to curse, "What are they hiding?"

"You do as I say," Xu Chunsu instructed his younger brother face-to-face, "They are embroidering things for the third aunt now! There is a roll of peacock gold thread, which is the most valuable. You go quietly to get it, and then hide it in the third sister's room. They will naturally make a fuss, and when the time comes, they will say that they are guarding themselves."

"Since it's in the third sister's room, how can Xu Lao Wu also rely on it?" Xu Daokai asked back, "It's justified for her to steal alone."

"After all, I'm still a child. Listen to me. Once the golden thread is missing, Xu Laowu will definitely help the third sister. And everyone knows the character of the third sister. She is the most clueless. If it wasn't for Old Fifth Xu, she wouldn't dare to do it by herself! Besides, the two of them work together, and she wouldn't be able to steal it alone if she wanted to." Xu Chunsu felt that she was very smart.

"Then what good is there for me to do this?" Xu Daokai understood the truth that there is no profit but no early life at a young age.

"Don't worry, as long as they lose the favor of the third aunt, what good will come to them in the future, why don't they fall on our heads first?" Xu Chunsu said, "Now that Xu Chunjun can steal all the limelight by herself, you are willing ?"

As expected of being born of one mother, Xu Daokai's jealousy is no worse than his sister's.

Immediately said: "I know, I will deal with this matter later."

"As expected of my good brother." Xu Chunsu patted Xu Daokai's head happily, "I'll ask someone to buy you a good slingshot later."

"I have several slingshots," Xu Daokai disdainfully said, "You'd better buy me a dagger."

"How did this thing work? What if it hurts someone?" Xu Chunsu shook his head.

"I don't care, I want a dagger." Xu Daokai said impatiently.

He was not very happy when the third aunt got married.Because after getting married, he will go to the Chen family to borrow a library to study.

This is the meaning of everyone in the Xu family. His elder brother refused to study even after saying anything, so he took over this unlucky job.

In fact, he doesn't like reading, but he is young and can't do it by himself.

Here Xu Chunjun and Xu Chunqiao saw that it was almost time for lunch, when Xu Chunqiao's biological mother, Aunt Zhang, came over and said to them, "After half a day's work, my neck is sore. Let's take a rest! It's time for lunch." gone."

So they put down their work, talked to Aunt Zhang for a while, and then went to the front together for dinner.

After they left, Xu Daokai came over.

There was someone in the house, so he came in when he was not good, so he overturned the flowerpot outside.

When the people in the room heard the movement, they naturally came out to check, while he slipped in quietly.

Xu Chunjun and the others put all the things they used for their work in one place, and the peacock gold thread was put in a box alone.

Xu Daokai took the gold thread and slipped out the same way.

The people watching the house here saw the flowerpot broken on the ground, thinking that someone's stray cat had run over and knocked over the flowerpot.

So I cleaned up and went back to the house, but I didn't notice anything unusual.
