Phoenix Indus

Chapter 10

Since the wedding procession had to leave from Wenning to Yongning on the fourth day of July, Mrs. Jun devoted herself to teaching Jun Xueqi how to be a wife and daughter-in-law in less than ten days.

After breakfast that day, the daughter-in-law of Jun's tailor shop brought Jun Xueqi's wedding dress, Mrs. Jun hurriedly called Jun Xueqi to try on the wedding dress, and if there was something inappropriate, she had better modify it as soon as possible.

Mrs. Jun, Aunt Jiang, Nanny Wu, Nanny Shen and the maidservants filled the whole room, and they were praising Jun Xueqi who had put on her wedding clothes, when she saw Nanny Qian hurried away After entering, he replied in a panic: "Ma'am, the uncle and wife of the Li family are here, and they said they are here to congratulate Miss San on leaving the court."

The originally bustling room suddenly became quiet.This Li family is not another family, it is Jun Yili's original spouse Li's natal family, and the uncle and uncle who came to congratulate her this time are the late Li's brother and sister-in-law, that is, Jun Xuewen's uncle and aunt.

Jun Xueqi knew that the people from the Li family must have come for her to marry into the Jin family as a continuation, and also knew that the people from the Li family were not here to congratulate her, but for another purpose, so she walked quickly to Mrs. Jun's side, and said worriedly: "Mother, please ask the old lady to come forward in this matter."

Mrs. Jun understood what Jun Xueqi meant. She was Jun Yili's continuation. To the Li family, no matter whether she was good or bad to Jun Xuewen, she was an outsider who could not be trusted.And Jun Xueqi, who is about to marry into the Jin Mansion and become Ling's stepmother, is an outsider who cannot be trusted at all.At this moment, no matter what the two of their mothers say, the Li family will not believe it, and they can only reassure the Li family by asking the mother-in-law to come forward.

Mrs. Jun didn't want Jun Xueqi to be frightened, so she patted her hand with a smile, and comforted her: "This wedding dress is well made, and it suits you well. You don't need to modify it. You can change it and fold it up." , take it back to Tingyu Courtyard. There are guests at home today, you stay in Tingyu Courtyard obediently, don’t come out and walk around casually.”

Although Jun Xueqi was worried that the Li family would come to cause trouble, she also understood the reason why a married woman should not see guests, so she nodded and smiled: "Daughter understands, mother can rest assured and go about her business."

Mrs. Jun nodded in relief, and asked Aunt Jiang to invite Mother Jun to the Winter Courtyard, while she asked Nanny Qian to go out to entertain the distinguished guests grandly.She dragged Madam Wu and the accompanying maids into the inner room, and changed into the clothes with the best materials and the most plain colors, and also wore the most exquisite plain-colored head and face jewelry.

The mother-in-law, who was teaching Buddhism in the Buddhist hall, heard Aunt Jiang say that the uncle and wife of the Li family had come, she was startled at first, and then she understood.Smiling nonchalantly, he took Nanny Liu and Aunt Jiang out of the Buddhist hall, and after carefully dressing up, Fang walked out of the winter courtyard unhurriedly.

Seeing that Mrs. Jun had dressed up and was waiting at the door with Nanny Wu and the maids, Mother Jun walked over, took her hand, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, you are our wife, whether the Li family recognizes you or not Recognize, as long as the Jun family recognizes it. I will see Mr. Li and Mrs. Li in a while. You just need to sit by and accompany them. The Li family is a big family, and it takes face to talk about decency. They won't say some things directly, so we just pretend to listen It’s fine if you don’t understand, and you don’t need to explain it clearly to them. We’re just talking about breaking the sky, whether they believe it or not. As long as Qi girl enters the door, and the days are long, they will naturally understand Wen girl’s good intentions before she died. "

After listening to Mother Jun's words, Mrs. Jun calmed down a little, nodded with a smile, and walked to the main hall in the outer courtyard of the Jun Mansion with Mother Jun in person.

Master Li and Mrs. Li, who were sitting and drinking tea, saw Mrs. Jun walking in while holding Mrs. Jun, so Yili hurriedly stood up and came forward to meet with a smile.After everyone was seated, Mammy Qian brought the maids with fragrant tea and fruit snacks.

Jun's mother took the lead with a polite smile and said: "It's really a happy event for the Jun family to visit the uncle and wife, but why didn't you send someone to say it earlier, so that the old lady can be tidied up in a courtyard, and stay with uncle and Mrs. My uncle and wife will stay here for a few days."

The purpose of Master Li and Mrs. Li's coming here this time is very simple, that is, they are afraid that Jun Xueqi will treat Miss Ling badly after marrying into the Jin family.That's why I rushed Jun Xueqi to put some pressure on the Jun family before leaving the pavilion.It's just that as Jun's mother thought, the Li family is also a big family, even if they think so in their hearts, they can't say so in their mouths.

Mrs. Li knew very well that Mr. Li came here in person this time to make the Jun family value Sister Ling's affairs, not to really let him be a big man to talk about the inner house affairs, so after hearing what Jun's mother said, she replied with a smile: " What the old lady said is reasonable, but this time my master came to Wenning for business matters, and the place to stay has already been arranged, so I can't stay in your mansion to chat with the old lady, please forgive me. Knowing that the third lady of your mansion will leave the cabinet in a few days, and because my master doesn't have to go out to deal with business matters today, so I just came to visit today, firstly, to congratulate the old lady, and secondly, to send some small gifts Ma'am put on makeup."

After finishing speaking, seeing the impatience on Master Li's face, and seeing the friendly expressions on the faces of Mrs. Jun and Mrs. Jun, he laughed and said: "If you want to talk about this marriage, you really wronged the third lady of your mansion. Miss San's good name, she was supposed to marry into a wealthy family as the original grandmother, but because girl Wen was worried about sister Ling, she was so tired that she had to marry as a second wife. Fortunately, the family background, status and reputation of the Jin family in Yongning are all Very high, Mrs. Jin is also the aunt of the third lady of your mansion, and if the third lady of your mansion is married, she will definitely not be wronged."

After saying that, he looked at Mrs. Jun with deep meaning, and continued to smile: "It's just that since ancient times, it's hard to be a stepmother, and it's hard to be a stepmother. The third lady of your mansion has just reached the age of Ji this year. She is still young, and she still needs to ask Mrs. Jun to teach her a lot. After all, Mrs. Jun is someone who has experienced many things. Besides, Sister Ling is a very sensible child, and she is taken care of by Nanny Chen. After the third lady of your mansion enters the door, she can save some effort. Nanny Chen is the younger sister The dowry maid when she married into Jun's mansion, and Wen girl's nanny, she has served Miss Ling for three generations. She helped the third lady of your mansion to take care of her son, and the third lady of your mansion I can also serve my parents-in-law with peace of mind, even if we are elders, we can rest assured."

This Mrs. Li talked for a long time as soon as she opened her mouth. Although she was thinking of Jun Xueqi on the surface, there was something in her words in secret.First, it hinted that Jun Xueqi was lucky enough to marry into the Jin family because of her relationship with Ling, so Jun Xueqi had to take good care of Ling and be worthy of Jun Xuewen's spirit in heaven; Teach Jun Xueqi well to treat sister Ling well, just like Mrs. Jun treats Jun Xuewen well; finally, she hints that Nanny Chen, who was born in the Li family, will take good care of sister Ling, so that Jun Xueqi will not have any bad intentions, otherwise Mother Chen spread the word to the Li family, and the Li family would not ignore things.

They are all the main rooms of a wealthy family. Mother Jun and Mrs. Jun can understand what Mrs. Li said. Although they don't like it very much in their hearts, they don't show it at all on the surface.

Junmu pretended to agree with a smile and said: "What my uncle and wife said is very true. With Mrs. Chen helping Qiyatou to take care of sister Ling, my wife, I can feel more at ease. As for Qiyatou's marriage as a sequel, even though she has wronged her daughter-in-law. Status, fortunately, she and Yuxuan's child are cousins, and they have had a very good relationship since they were young. After getting married, the relationship will be even better. From this point of view, it is more secure than marrying into another family. Our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law It can also be a lot more reassuring.”

In this way, you came and went, talking openly and secretly for a long time, and the two families expressed their respective intentions.Therefore, Master Li was present this time, and Jun's family is all female relatives, so Jun's mother did not have guests for dinner.When noon approached, Master Li and Mrs. Li said goodbye and left.

Although Mrs. Jun gave birth to two sons, she only had one daughter, Jun Xueqi, and she was aggrieved to marry as a continuation. She felt very distressed, so on the way to send Jun's mother back to the winter courtyard, she asked worriedly: "Mother-in-law, listen Uncle and Madam mean that the dowry that Miss Wen brought into the Jin family back then can't be sent back?"

The mother-in-law sighed helplessly: "Although girl Wen is gone, sister Ling is still here. We don't want to make too much trouble with the Li family. Go back and tell girl Qi that Mrs. Chen will stay in Jin's house." Take care of Sister Ling, and send all her people back. Anyway, my uncle and wife only mentioned Mrs. Chen, and others don't care. You tell girl Qi that Mrs. Chen will definitely make small plans in the future, and let her I have a plan in my heart, and I should be on guard on weekdays. Qiyatou's character will definitely not wrong sister Ling, but I am afraid that Mrs. Chen will have some crooked thoughts and plot against Qiyatou. At that time, even if Qiyatou has a hundred mouths, everyone will I can't tell."

Mrs. Jun knew in her heart that there was no other way, but she only left Nanny Chen and sent everyone else back, which had saved Jun Xueqi a lot of heart, so the worry on her face was reduced a lot. He smiled and said: "My daughter-in-law understands, I will go to Qi girl to talk about it in a while."

Jun's mother also felt sorry for Jun Xueqi, and worried that she would have a difficult life after entering the Jin family. Whether it is a rebirth or a stepmother, it is not easy to be a stepmother, so she comforted Mrs. Jun and said: "Don't worry, as long as my wife doesn't die, I will definitely not let others bully Qi girl."

With Jun's mother's words, Mrs. Jun's heart was naturally at ease, and she sent Jun's mother back to the Winter Courtyard, and said a few words with her company before she asked to resign and go to Tingyu Courtyard.

At this moment, Jun Xueqi was sitting worriedly in the Xinuang Pavilion, hesitating whether to go to Mrs. Jun's place to ask, when she saw Madam Shen walking in to welcome Mrs. Jun, she hurriedly got up and helped Mrs. Jun sit down, and personally served After drinking tea, he asked worriedly: "Mother, did the uncle and wife of the Li family make things difficult for grandma and mother?"

Mrs. Jun knew that Jun Xueqi had always been a careful and sensible child, so she was relieved a lot. She pulled her to sit beside her, and learned most of Mrs. Li's words today, and also learned what Jun's mother said. Smiling and comforting: "Good boy, don't take Mrs. Li's words to heart. She must be Wen girl's aunt, so naturally she is on the side of Sister Ling. From Sister Ling's point of view, you are the stepmother. No matter how well this stepmother does, she won't get a good reputation, so you don't have to worry about the Li family. As long as the old lady decides for you, the Li family won't be able to trouble you. After all, the Li family's Family background cannot threaten our family.

"When you go through the door, except for Mrs. Chen, you will let the send-off team bring back all the people that your eldest sister brought as a dowry. Naturally, I will deal with them. You don't have to worry about it. But you have to be extra careful about Mrs. Chen, she She was born in the Li family, and her birth certificate is not in the Jun family. We can't control her here. If she wants to trouble you, the old lady and I can't help you. You can only rely on yourself. You have to be more careful , make more turns in your mind, and don't let Mrs. Chen stir up your relationship with Sister Ling. If Sister Ling hates you wholeheartedly, then you will have a hard time in the future. "

Jun Xueqi understood Mrs. Jun's worries about Nanny Chen, and she was also worried about Nanny Chen, but she didn't want to make Mrs. Jun worry about her all day long, so she smiled and comforted her: "Mother, just don't worry, my daughter is very worried. It is clear that as long as the daughter is more careful and does not say or do wrong things, even if Mother Chen intends to embarrass her daughter, there is nothing she can do. Moreover, there is Mother Shen by her daughter's side. It's amazing, and my mother knows it too, and my daughter will be fine with the help of Shen's mother."

Mrs. Jun also knew of Nanny Shen's loyalty to Jun Xueqi, and also of Nanny Shen's shrewdness, so she nodded reassuringly.The two of them talked for a while, and after lunch together, Mrs. Jun went back to the summer courtyard to rest.
