Phoenix Indus

Chapter 15

Because Nanny Chen stayed by Sister Ling's side all the time, deliberately guarding against Jun Xueqi, Jun Xueqi was not in the mood to coax Sister Ling any more and cultivate a mother-daughter relationship.After giving the meeting gift to Sister Ling, Jun Xueqi accompanied Madam Su and Sister Ling to play in the garden for a while, and then she resigned from the bamboo courtyard on the grounds that she wanted to go back to the yard to tidy up her things.

Mrs. Su also saw that Nanny Chen didn't want Sister Ling to get close to Jun Xueqi, but she didn't want to get angry with Nanny Chen in front of Sister Ling and Jun Xueqi, making Sister Ling afraid and Jun Xueqi Can't get off stage.So when Jun Xueqi asked to resign and wanted to go back to pack her things, she didn't keep her anymore, so she nodded and let her go.

When Jun Xueqi was far away, Mrs. Su told the nanny to take Sister Ling back to rest and wait for lunch. Then she put on a straight face and asked Chen Nanny seriously: "Mrs. Chen, take me back to my room. I have something to say." to tell you."

After finishing speaking, she stood up, flicked her sleeves angrily, and helped Nanny Li to walk towards Meiyuan.

Nanny Chen had no choice but to follow closely behind, following Mrs. Su to the Meiyuan.Although she was worried about Jun Xueqi and felt that she would not treat Sister Ling kindly, she did not dare to offend Mrs. Su, after all, in her opinion, Sister Ling had to rely on Mrs. Su to live a good and safe life.

On the way back to the bamboo courtyard, Nanny Shen complained very dissatisfied: "Mrs. Chen is getting older and more confused. Grandma is Sister Ling's biological aunt, and it was the eldest aunt who begged her to marry her before she died. If she is really loyal to protect the lord, she should help grandma to get close to sister Ling. There is no reason to be on guard against grandma. Could grandma still disregard the Jun family and the eldest aunt, her in-laws and the third master, and wronged and suffered for sister Ling? No?"

Although Jun Xueqi felt extremely aggrieved by Nanny Chen's precautions, she didn't want to make a fuss as soon as she entered the door, so she smiled and persuaded: "Mom, don't worry about it anymore, Mama Chen's Although it is not right to do it, it is for Sister Ling wholeheartedly. From this point of view, the original intention is not very bad, but a little confused. Now that we have just entered the door, there is no need to make a fuss over these trivial things Not happy, but let the servants see the joke. After all, Mother Chen also came in from Jun's house with her elder sister. They are all from Jun's house. Why bother to fight against each other. When the days are long, mother Chen Slowly you will understand my heart."

Mother Shen frowned tightly, and said worriedly: "Grandma is right, it's just that the mother-in-law is afraid that Mrs. Chen will pick up the relationship between grandma and sister Ling. He will keep grandma's good in his heart, and only listen to what Mrs. Chen whispers, and misunderstand how grandma treats her."

Jun Xueqi is also worried about this in her heart, but there is no good way at present, she can only take one step and watch one step.

Because she didn't want Nanny Shen to worry about this anymore, Jun Xueqi asked with a smile: "Mother, does she know whether Aunt Liu lives in the side room or in the courtyard? Does Brother Dee live with Aunt Liu now, or in another place?" Have a house?"

A shrewd and capable woman like Shen Momo had already inquired about the personnel and affairs in the bamboo courtyard as early as last night and this morning, and replied with a smile: "The rules of the Jin family, my aunt lives in the Xikua courtyard, and those who have not left the cabinet The young lady lives in the Dongkua courtyard, and the young master who is under ten years old also lives in the Dongkua courtyard. After ten years old, he will live alone in another courtyard. Now Aunt Liu lives in the north wing of the Xikua courtyard, but De Geer lives in Those in the south wing of the West Courtyard did not live in the East Courtyard according to the rules. Because Sister Ling lives in his wife’s Courtyard, the East Courtyard is now vacant. Grandma, do you want De Geer to move? Go live in Dongkua courtyard? This young man who was born out of concubine didn't have the reason to live in the same courtyard as the aunt who gave birth to her, and he didn't think grandma too seriously."

Jun Xueqi shook her head, and said solemnly: "Now we have just entered the mansion, the things we brought over have not been packed properly, and the personnel and affairs in this mansion have not been clearly understood, so there is no need to worry about those trivial matters. Brother Di Even if I lived with Aunt Liu for the rest of my life, my son still wanted to call me 'Mother' and 'Auntie'. Why did I bother to let the masters and servants of the whole house say that I, the main house grandmother, are narrow-minded because of these trivial matters?

"The most urgent thing right now is to take care of our own people first, so that life will be cheaper in the future. The companions who accompanied the eldest sister to marry back then, in addition to Chen's mother, there are four big maids , four little girls and the servant of the second house. The servant of the second house is in charge of the eldest sister's wedding village and shop. Those will be the dowry of Sister Ling in the future, so the servant of the second house cannot be moved. It's just that the mother chooses one The day calls the servants of the two families to come in, and I have something to tell them.

"Mother Chen can't be sent away, she can only support it, and she can also prove my innocence by watching the dowry of Sister Ling and Sister Ling, so that those who are interested will say that I, a stepmother, is greedy for successors." Dowry. Now she lives in her mother-in-law's yard, but it's nothing, but sister Ling will move back sooner or later, and then she will let Chen's mother live in the room next to her mother. I pay attention to her, and I can rest assured. The big sister's dowry will be sorted out later, and recorded in two account books, one for Chen's mother to keep, and one for my mother to keep for me.

"As for the four big maids and four little maids, there is no need to keep them. If our Jun family has daughters, mother will let them go back with the wedding procession, so that they can reunite with their families. If it is the ones that are bought and used later, just sell them directly."

Nanny Shen agreed one by one, and said with a smile: "Grandma, just rest assured, the mother-in-law will take care of these trivial matters as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble for grandma."

While talking, a group of people have entered the bamboo courtyard.Jun Xueqi just lowered her head, thinking about packing things and cleaning the yard, she was lightly tugging at the handkerchief in her hand, when she suddenly heard Mother Shen whispering in her ear: "Grandma, Aunt Liu is already in the front room Waiting outside the door, and the nanny is also holding Di Geer and standing beside her."

Jun Xueqi's heart moved, she tried her best to relax her body, let herself calm down, then slowly raised her head, showing a kind smile, looking at the four people standing on the steps of the front room, walked up the steps step by step, and entered the front door. The car, when passing by those four, did not stop.

Nanny Shen supported Jun Xueqi to sit down on the kang couch in Xinuange, then took tea from Xiangxue and served it, and asked with a smile: "Grandma, do you want Aunt Liu and Brother Di to come in?"

Jun Xueqi took the tea, took two sips, and then ordered: "Please invite Aunt Liu to sit in the East Nuan Pavilion first, and send some fragrant tea and fruit to her. Don't neglect her. Then let the nanny hold Brother Di Come in here, I will meet Degoer first."

After finishing speaking, he ordered Yueling to say: "Take out the meeting gift I prepared for Brother Di and Aunt Liu."

Nanny Shen and Yue Ling agreed together, and each went to obey orders.

After a while, the nurse came in holding Di Ge'er, greeted Jun Xueqi respectfully and respectfully, and coaxed Di Ge'er in a low voice: "Brother, hurry up, call mother."

Jin Yudi is just a one-year-old child. She just learned to call people not long ago, and it was the first time she learned to call her "mother", so she repeated it three or four times, but she couldn't call her right, and her little face turned red. of.

When the nanny saw this, she was afraid that Jun Xueqi would blame her, she was so anxious that her whole body was covered in cold sweat, she hugged Di Ge'er at a loss, her whole body was stiff with nervousness.

Jun Xueqi was not angry because Di Ge'er didn't call out "Mother", but was amused by the way he was trying to learn how to call people, she stretched out her hand with a smile, and hugged Di Ge'er from the nurse's arms, smiling right Shen Momo said: "This child is really good-looking, white and fat, with a smile on his face, unlike Grandpa who always has a cold face all day long."

Seeing Jun Xueqi's smile, Shen Momo was also happy for her, and hurriedly joked beside her: "No, look at the small eyes, small nose, and small mouth, they really look like you. When you grow up , he must be another handsome young man."

Jun Xueqi nodded in agreement with a smile, took the tea on the side, and fed Brother Di a few sips, then pointed to the meeting gift on the tray held by Yueling, a pair of little tiger heads Shoes, a set of children's clothes, a gold lock, and a jade pendant, smiled at the nanny and said, "This is a gift from me as a meeting gift for my brother, please help me to collect it. I don't know if the clothes and shoes fit well, if not If it's suitable, let the needleworkers in our house help to correct it."

After hearing this, the nanny hurriedly knelt down on behalf of Brother Di to thank her, and kowtowed to Jun Xueqi politely.

Jun Xueqi coaxed Brother Di to play for a while, seeing that he was a little sleepy, she sent him back to the nanny's arms, and said: "Brother is the first young master in our house, you have to be careful Waiter, if you let me know that my brother has been wronged, you will never forgive me lightly."

The nanny hurriedly promised to show her loyalty again, and then smiled carefully: "Please rest assured, grandma, the slave woman will not dare to wrong my brother, and she will serve my brother with her heart, so that he will not make any mistakes."

Jun Xueqi saw that the nanny seemed quite honest, she nodded in satisfaction and said, "As long as you serve my brother well, it will certainly benefit you in the future."

After finishing speaking, he told Yue Ling, "Send brother back to rest. In addition, give the nanny another five taels of silver to buy some rouge and fruit."

After hearing this, the nanny hurriedly thanked Jun Xueqi for the reward, hugged Brother Di and bid farewell to Jun Xueqi, and followed Yueling out with bowed head.

After the nanny hugged Di Geer out of the front room, Jun Xueqi stood up slowly, straightened her clothes, straightened her hair, and helped Shen Nai out of the Xinuang Pavilion, walked through the small hall, and entered the Dongnuang Pavilion.

Liu Linglan was born beautiful, with a bit of beauty, and her appearance was higher than Jun Xuewen's, so even though she married in as a concubine, she was not afraid of Jun Xuewen's main wife at all.Now that she has given birth to the eldest grandson of the second room, naturally she doesn't take Jun Xueqi's successor seriously.

Today, I was thinking of giving Jun Xueqi a bad start, so Liu Linglan specially dressed up to intimidate Jun Xueqi, but she didn't expect Jun Xueqi to have a beautiful appearance, so she couldn't help worrying stand up.Regardless of appearance, stature, or age, Liu Linglan thought she was inferior to Jun Xueqi, so she was worried and irritable in her heart. It was pushed down by Jun Xueqi.

So when Jun Xueqi walked into the East Nuan Pavilion, Liu Linglan was still sitting quietly on the kang couch, only watching Jun Xueqi smiling kindly, without any intention of standing up to greet her.Until Jun Xueqi sat down, Fang slowly stood up, greeted Jun Xueqi according to the courtesy, and then sat back without waiting for Jun Xueqi's order. There was no etiquette for concubines to visit the main room .

Seeing that Liu Linglan was so unruly, Shen Momo was very angry in her heart, frowned tightly, and wanted to say a few words to teach Liu Linglan the rules of concubines.However, she didn't want her sleeves to be pulled lightly, and turned her head to see Jun Xueqi shaking her head slightly, so she could only endure the anger in her heart, take back the steps she had already taken, and stand quietly aside.But in his heart he watched Liu Linglan carefully, for fear that she would be wronged and embarrassed by Jun Xueqi.

Jun Xueqi was naturally very dissatisfied with Liu Linglan's actions, but it must be the first time they met, and Mrs. Su had specially instructed her in the morning, asking her not to follow Jin Taijun and Mrs. Jin's sake. Liu Linglan cares.Moreover, she still doesn't know Liu Linglan's position in Jin Yuxuan's heart, and she doesn't want to offend Liu Linglan and hurt De Ge'er's face, so she has to endure the anger in her heart and maintain the proper dignity of the main room.
