Phoenix Indus

Chapter 18

For the next few days, because De Ge'er was still ill, Jin Yuxuan rested in the north wing of the Xikuan courtyard, and even ate his morning and evening meals there.

Jun Xueqi could only see Jin Yuxuan and chat with him when she went to Mei Yuan to say good night to Master Jin and Mrs. Su.

Although she felt uncomfortable, she was unwilling to do anything to fight for favor and lowered her status.Furthermore, De Geer was still ill, so it was reasonable for Jin Yuxuan to stay there as his father.If she pulled him back, she would appear narrow-minded and unreasonable.

He simply put Jin Yuxuan aside for the time being, and only devoted himself to tidying up the dowry, cleaning the bamboo courtyard, familiarizing himself with all the people and affairs in the Jin residence, serving his parents-in-law, caring for his brother and sister-in-law, and teasing his sister-in-law. It took less than half a month to finish everything.

The East Cross Courtyard of the Bamboo Courtyard has been re-scanned and arranged. She plans to discuss with Mrs. Su and choose a good day to bring Sister Ling back to raise herself.

Although Jun Xueqi didn't think about the fact that Jin Yuxuan had been resting in Xikuayuan for more than [-] days in a row, Nanny Shen and Yue Ling were very worried.

The straightforward Shui Ling was full of anger, resenting Jin Yuxuan's fickleness and Liu Linglan's scheming, always cursing loudly, and was trained by Shen Nanny and Yue Ling a few times before she restrained herself.

After dinner that day, Jun Xueqi followed Jin Yuxuan to Mei Yuan to say good night to Mr. Jin and Mrs. Su. Seeing that the chrysanthemums in the garden were blooming beautifully, she ordered Xiangxue to say, "Come and pick some chrysanthemums tomorrow morning." Chrysanthemum tea, take it back and put it in a bottle, when you go to pay your respects in the morning, it will be a filial piety to the master and wife."

Jin Yuxuan, who was walking in front, heard this, stopped and said, "You don't need to pick it up. I'll accompany you back to Wenning to visit your relatives after dinner tomorrow morning. I didn't accompany you back home because of the busy business at home a while ago." , I've been free for a while, I just go back with you to have a look. When you come back at night, you can ask them to pack up. My luggage has already been packed by Yi Ren and Chu Ren. I have already prepared the carriages and return ceremony. , you don't have to worry about it."

Wen Ning is two or three days away from Yongning. Jun Xueqi originally thought that there would be no return home, but she didn't expect that Jin Yuxuan had already planned it in her heart.At this time, I was really surprised and happy, my heart was full of warmth, and the grievances of the past few days dissipated without a trace in an instant.

In the evening, Jun Xueqi returned to the main compartment, and told Nanny Shen, Yue Ling, and Shui Ling about her departure for Wen Ning the next day, and asked them to pack up their luggage quickly, and told them: "After going back, after the old lady In front of you and your wife, you are only allowed to report good news, not bad news. If you let me know that any of you has said something wrong or talked too much, I will definitely not forgive you lightly."

Shui Ling, who wanted to go back and complain to Jun's mother and Mrs. Jun, and asked them to be the masters for Jun Xueqi, was shocked when she heard Jun Xueqi's words, and hurriedly withdrew her plan.After listening to Jun Xueqi's words, the others nodded hurriedly and said, "Don't worry, grandma, the mother-in-law/servant will definitely not talk nonsense."

Jun Xueqi wanted to be strong since she was a child. When she was not out of the cabinet, she never let Jun's mother and Mrs. Jun worry about her in the Jun family. During the more than one year in charge of the family, she never suffered a loss or was wronged.Now that she is out of the cabinet and married, she doesn't want Jun's mother and Mrs. Jun to worry about her anymore.

Mrs. Jun received Jin Yuxuan's handwritten letter a long time ago, knowing that he was going to bring Jun Xueqi back to visit relatives, she was very happy, so she hurriedly sent someone to clean up the Tingyu Courtyard and Wenyu Courtyard, and brought Uncle Qiao and Jun Xueqi Called Jun's mansion back, and wanted to take advantage of the joy of Jun Xueqi's return, and the family had a good reunion for a few days.

Ever since Jun Xuewen died of illness, Jun's mother has been depressed. Later, when Jun Xueqi left the pavilion, she lost another sweetheart by her side, and Jun's mother's health became worse day by day.Now when Mrs. Jun said that Jun Xueqi was coming back to visit her relatives, she was so happy that her eyes lit up and her spirits improved, and she no longer lay on the bed. She took the capable mothers and maids by her side and began to search for her body. I plan to wait for Jun Xueqi to return home and give it to her to celebrate her return home.

Uncle Jun Xuejun and Second Master Jun Xueluo were very happy when they heard that the two sisters were coming back. They took out the money they had saved, and took the servants with them, and ran to the street to buy some. Many exquisite gadgets are intended to honor Jun Xueling and Jun Xueqi.

It was after noon when the Jin family's carriages and horses stopped in front of the gate of the Jun Mansion, and the gatekeeper sent someone inside to report to Mrs. Jun, and at the same time led the gatekeepers to welcome them out, and gave them to ride on Immediately, Jin Yuxuan kowtowed to greet him.

Jin Yuxuan turned over and got off the horse, tipped some money, then walked to an exquisite carriage, and helped Jun Xueqi, who was dressed as a woman, down, and the couple walked into the gate of the Jun Mansion together.

Yue Ling and Shui Ling followed closely behind, while Shen Momo watched the boys of the Jun Mansion carry suitcases and other things inside.

Mrs. Jun, who was resting for a while, heard that her daughter and son-in-law had arrived, so she quickly lifted the bed curtain and got out of the bed. While sending someone to report to Jun's mother, Aunt Jiang, Xue Ling, his wife, and Jun's brothers, she hurriedly washed and changed her clothes.

Seeing that Mrs. Jun was a little flustered by excitement, Madam Wu smiled and comforted her: "Madam, don't worry, now the third son-in-law and the third aunt are coming back to visit relatives, and they must stay for a longer period of time. Madam, don't be in a hurry."

Mrs. Jun also felt that she was too abnormal, and sighed with a smile: "I understand it in my heart, but I just miss Qi girl. She has been married for nearly three months, and she doesn't know how she is doing in the Jin family. That Aunt Liu has There is no trouble for her, and there are sister Ling and De Geer. Hey, there are so many troubles, can I not be in a hurry? "

Thinking of those annoying and chaotic things, Mrs. Jun didn't even have the heart to complain. After washing and changing quickly, she took Madam Wu to the main hall of the inner courtyard.

After Jin Yuxuan and Jun Xueqi kowtowed to Jun's mother and Mrs. Jun and offered tea, Jun's mother hurriedly pulled Jun Xueqi to sit beside her, stroking her hands, cheeks and hair tremblingly, while I couldn't help crying, but I couldn't say a word.

Mrs. Jun sat on the sidelines and watched, but also aroused the sadness in her heart, her eyes were also red, and tears rolled in her eyes.

Seeing this, Aunt Jiang and Jun Xueling hurried to Mother Jun and Mrs. Jun, soothing them softly.

As the eldest son, Jun Xuejun, although only 13 years old, already acted like an heir to the Jun family. He stood up, saluted Uncle Qiao and Jin Yuxuan politely, and said with a loud smile: "Old lady and lady There must be a lot of personal things to say to the two elder sisters, and we are disturbing their intimacy by sitting here, and I also invite the two brothers-in-law to sit with me and my second brother in the study outside, so that we can drink tea and talk freely."

Uncle Qiao and Jin Yuxuan looked at each other and nodded, got up and bid farewell to Jun's mother and Mrs. Jun, followed Jun Xuejun and Jun Xueluo out of the main hall, and walked to the outer study in the outer courtyard.

Seeing that Jun Xuejun is acting so properly now, Jun Xueqi felt very relieved, smiled at Jun's mother and Mrs. Jun and said: "Now Brother Jun has lost the child's mind, and he has grown up in his behavior. Promising. The ancestors and mother can also rest easy and take good care of their bodies, waiting for the two younger brothers to marry their daughters-in-law and come in to honor you."

Mother Jun nodded with a smile and said: "Brother Jun and Brother Luo are both good boys, and they are much more competitive than your father when he was young. I won't worry if they are in charge of the Jun family in the future. But you have a good time in Jin's house." Okay? Has anyone in the Jin family wronged you? How is the third uncle treating you? Is Aunt Liu still doing well?"

Jun Xueqi felt very warm when she saw Jun's mother caring about her so much, and she comforted her with a smile: "The ancestors don't have to worry about Qi'er. My sister-in-law always only stayed in the chrysanthemum courtyard and rarely came out to move around, so there was nothing between my second sister-in-law and my sister-in-law.

"As for Aunt Liu, the ancestors and mother don't have to worry, Qi'er knows it well. Although she gave birth to Di Ge'er, she is only an aunt after all, and she can't beat me as the main wife. The Jin family is like this The young master from a concubine is nothing more than a status, if he wants to have status and status, it depends on whether he can live up to expectations when he grows up, and whether he will be promising."

After hearing this, Mrs. Jun nodded in relief and said, "Since you can think so clearly, I am relieved. It's just that a woman's life is a husband and a son. You still have to take advantage of the newly married love to give birth as soon as possible." A son-in-law is good."

Jun's mother also nodded in agreement and said: "Your wife's words are very true. As long as you give birth to a son-in-law as soon as possible, even if Aunt Liu has a falling out in the future, she will not be able to move your third grandma Jin's position."

After finishing speaking, he told Mrs. Jun: "When Qi'er returns to Yongning, you should prepare more supplements for her to take away. As long as this body is well maintained, it will not be difficult to give birth to a child."

After finishing the words, I thought about it again, and then said: "Let's prepare a copy for Ling girl, she is the daughter of the Jun family, so we can't treat her poorly. The Qiao family is like this now, and the best supplements are not available for anyone." .”

Mrs. Jun and Jun Xueqi were surprised and happy when they heard this. This was the first time that Jun's mother had worried and planned for Jun Xueling.

It was the first time she received the care of Jun's mother, and Jun Xueling, who has always been strong, couldn't help but shed tears. This was the care she had been looking forward to for 17 years.

Aunt Jiang also held Jun Xueling's hand tightly, shedding sad tears.Because she was not favored by Jun's mother, her daughter was not favored by Jun's mother since she was a child, and now she can be regarded as keeping the clouds open to see the moon.

Jun's mother saw the appearance of Aunt Jiang and Jun Xueling, and felt that they had neglected their mother and daughter too much these years, so she took Jun Xueling's hand and said, "You are the second young lady of the Jun family, and you are engaged to the Qiao family first. , that is a well-matched family, and now the Qiao family is at the top, you have to straighten your back and live, don't lose the dignity of our Jun family. Besides, the Qiao family is just an ordinary family now, and livelihood is a problem, so it's fine to take concubines, It doesn't matter whether you take over the house, it's not necessary. The dignified grandma of the Qiao family has to watch over her husband."

With tears in her eyes, Jun Xueling nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, old ancestor, Ling'er will definitely not embarrass the Jun family."

Mother Jun smiled and nodded, took Aunt Jiang's hand again, patted it gently, and sighed softly: "Over the past ten years, I have wronged you. You are the son of our family. I think you are honest and careful. Thoughtful, I gave you to Yili to be his maid, and I feel relieved to have you serving him. Later, Yili wanted to accept you as a concubine, and I just thought it was because you were unwilling to be a servant and wanted to seduce Yili, so I started I'm tired of you, and I don't even like Aya girl. When Yili was alive, he often explained to you in front of me, but I don't want to admit that I was wrong. Now Yili is gone, and I am so old , Many things have been overlooked. If this is wrong, it is wrong. There is nothing you dare to admit. Don't worry, I will never wrong you again in the future. "

The words made Aunt Jiang forget the grievances she had suffered for more than ten years. She wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief, and sobbed with a smile: "The old lady is too worried. The servant is fortunate to serve the old lady, the master, and the wife. It is a servant The blessings that have been cultivated in several lifetimes, the slaves will not feel wronged."

Mother Jun patted Aunt Jiang's hand again in relief, then turned around, pulled Jun Xueling and Jun Xueqi, and taught them the way of being a daughter-in-law and a wife with the experience she had spent her entire life in. Fang was so tired that he went back to the winter courtyard to rest, and let their mother and daughter go back to their room to talk about themselves.
