Phoenix Indus

Chapter 24

Mrs. Su, who was originally uneasy, felt relieved after hearing Nanny Shen's words. She glared at Master Jin angrily, and asked with a smug smile, "Master, are you not satisfied with such a good daughter-in-law?"

At this time, Master Jin knew that he had wronged Jun Xueqi, and he felt guilty in his heart. Hearing this question from his virtuous wife, he couldn't help showing embarrassment on his face. He got up and said, "I have something to do outside today, so I'm leaving first. Things, please trouble Madam to take care of it."

After finishing speaking, he flicked his sleeves and hurried out.

Mrs. Su asked the maid to help Nanny Shen up, and said with a smile: "Madam Shen, go back and serve your grandma first, let your grandma also go back to the room to rest, don't worry about Dige'er not recovering, she fell ill again. Said, Brother Di is both a nanny and a maid. If there is anything wrong, it’s the same if you wake her up again. I will take care of the affairs of the house here, and I will go to see my brother at noon, and then I will have lunch with your grandma .”

Aunt Shen smiled, agreed, and bid farewell to Mrs. Su, turned around and gave Aunt Feng a fierce look before she lifted the curtain and went out.

At this time, Nanny Feng no longer had the look she had when she complained. She was covered in cold sweat and knelt on the ground trembling, waiting for Madam Su's answer.

Mrs. Su drank the tea in her hand slowly, and Fang said coldly: "Mrs. Feng, I don't talk about or ask about the small calculations that you and your master have in mind, but it doesn't mean that I don't know. Although I am old now, But you are not foolish, you should be more restrained in your actions. You always think that Yuxuan's wife will treat her brother poorly, but now Yuxuan's wife treats her brother with sincerity, even a mother is nothing more than that You should think about it in your heart, and when your master comes back, you should also think about how to report to your master."

After finishing his speech, he got up and adjusted his clothes, helped Madam Li and the maids, and went out to take care of the affairs of the mansion.

Mrs. Su didn't ask her to get up, and she didn't ask her to go back, so Nanny Feng could only kneel there respectfully, receiving the mocking eyes and sarcastic words from the maids in Mei Yuan, feeling ashamed and annoyed in her heart, cursing secretly Acting recklessly, she didn't like Jun Xueqi's joke, but instead brought trouble on herself.

Besides, Nanny Shen went back to the Zhuyuan angrily, entered the inner room of the south chamber of Dongkuayuan, took advantage of the fact that the nanny and the maid were not in front of her, she learned from Jun Xueqi about how Nanny Feng went to Meiyuan to complain, Then he scolded angrily: "That bastard is really blind and dark-hearted. Ever since Sister Ling and Di Geer moved into Dongkua Courtyard, Grandma has been teaching her sincerely, being cautious and careful in every way, never letting the two The little master has suffered a little bit of grievance. Instead of thanking grandma for her master's kindness, that bastard woman stared at us, thinking only of catching grandma's faults, so that the master, wife and master will embarrass grandma."

Jun Xueqi only smiled lightly as she listened to Nanny Shen's complaints, but she didn't say a word. After a long while, she said, "Don't be angry, Mom. These troublesome things have long been expected in my heart, and there is nothing strange about them." Now my sister and brother are all in our yard, and my mother has to take care of me on weekdays. Thousands of pairs of eyes inside and outside the house are staring at us, but if there is anything missing At the same place, my housewife grandma can go down the hall."

Shen Momo hurriedly comforted her: "Grandma, don't worry, the mother-in-law has lived half her life, if she doesn't understand how to take care of the children, then it's really a sign."

Jun Xueqi nodded with a smile and said, "With my mother's words, I feel relieved. I am a new wife and have not given birth to children. Although the heart of raising children is sincere, I have no experience at all, so I can only trouble you." Mom worked so hard."

Nanny Shen walked to the side of the bed, stretched out her hand to caress Di Ge'er's forehead, felt that the heat had subsided a lot, she couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and smiled and persuaded Jun Xueqi: "Brother's heat has subsided a lot, this time My son slept soundly. Grandma might as well go back to the main room to sleep for a while while my brother is safe. Grandma has been up all night since last night until now, and her body must not be able to bear it. The wife said to let grandma rest In a moment, before brother Bie's illness recovers, grandma will fall ill. There is a mother-in-law and a nanny who will watch over here, and everything will be fine. If there is anything wrong, the mother-in-law will call grandma again."

Jun Xueqi was already too tired to open her eyes, but she was holding on with perseverance. At this time, after listening to Shen Nanny's words, and seeing that De Ge'er was really better, she nodded and said: "If that's the case, I'm going to trouble Mom I'm going back to sleep for a while, and my mother told the small kitchen to prepare lunch for my wife to come over for dinner. If I'm not awake when my wife comes over, my mother must go and wake me up, and I can't neglect my wife."

Shen Momo smiled and said: "Grandma, don't worry, the mother-in-law knows how to do these things. Grandma can go back to rest, as the mother-in-law is here."

Jun Xueqi nodded reassuringly, and gave a few words to the nanny and maid, then returned to the main room, and under the attendants of Yue Ling and Shui Ling, after washing and changing, she fell asleep on the bed in the inner room.

After Madam Su took care of the affairs in the mansion, she took the maids to the bamboo courtyard to visit Jun Xueqi, Sister Ling and Brother Di.

Nanny Li was ordered by Mrs. Su to quickly go back to the Meiyuan, summoned four rough maids, and beat Nanny Feng thirty times before letting the wives send Nanny Feng back to the Zhuyuan. , and sent someone to tell the cashier that Mother Feng had been deducted half a year's monthly payment.

So far, the whole family knew that Nanny Feng had arranged for Jun Xueqi to treat her stepson poorly in front of Master Jin and Mrs. Su when Brother Di was ill, and was severely punished by Mrs. Su.

Even those people with good deeds went to the Plum Courtyard and Bamboo Courtyard to inquire, wondering if Jun Xueqi had really treated the ill young master poorly.

As a result of the inquiry, it was naturally Jun Xueqi who couldn't take off her clothes. She stayed by De Ge'er's side day and night to take care of her. She also sent someone out to invite the female doctor to come in at four o'clock. Replenishes physical strength and lifts spirits.

Those well-meaning people all praised Jun Xueqi for her kindness and kindness, she cared so much for her stepson, and she would definitely be a good mistress when she became a family in the future.The original worries about sister Ling and De Ge'er being bullied are gone.

Those bad-hearted people all said that Jun Xueqi was a newlywed, and she was so kind to her stepchildren, but she just wanted to show off her virtuousness in front of Master Jin and Mrs. Su.When the days are long, it will definitely reveal its true colors.It is also said that Jun Xueqi is like this, but because she has not yet given birth, and when she has her own children in the future, she will not treat her stepchildren as much as she does now.

These words naturally reached Madam Su's ears, Madam Su was furious, arrested three or four gossips, and punished them severely, Fang was so frightened that all the servants shut up.

After Jun Xueqi heard about it, she just smiled and said nothing, how to live the day, and still how to live, she didn't show her power to punish the servant, nor did she hide in the house and complain with tears.

When the second grandma Deng learned about this, she gloated a lot, and said with a smile: "The third aunt is also, why bother to feed the seeds that crawled out of other people's stomachs? No matter how hard it is to please, people still talk about arranging Isn’t it hers? Who doesn’t understand why stepmothers are embarrassing? I also don’t know what the Jun family thinks, and they should marry their daughters from the first line as a sequel.”

The attendant maid smiled and said, "Grandma, although it is said that outside, who knows whether the third grandma is sincere or pretending to please. Everyone says that the third grandma is very smart and capable, and she was in charge of the house when she was in her mother's house. Cooking is the same thing. Is she really stupid enough to raise children for other women? You have to treat it according to slaves, but it's just a show to please the master and wife."

Jin Yuxuan, who was leaning on the bed and reading a book quietly, was very irritable after hearing Deng's words, and then he heard the maid's words, and his heart suddenly became angry.Throwing the book on the bed, he reprimanded in a cold voice: "Shut up, you don't do serious things all day long, you only know how to instigate the master to gossip and watch the fun. You, a maid, can talk about the affairs of the masters? Get out of here, don't be annoying here. Next time, don't blame me for not being kind to your grandma, and send you to Mama Li."

Seeing that Jin Yuwen, who was always good-tempered, lost his temper, the servant girl was panicked, frightened and wronged, covered her face with a handkerchief, and ran out crying.

Seeing this, Mrs. Deng also stopped thinking about the joke.She knew that although Jin Yuwen was scolding the servant girl, she was also talking about herself. She was just thinking about the relationship between husband and wife, and did not show her face in front of the servants.

Let's say that Di Geer's foot was ill for six days, and Fang recovered.These days, Jun Xueqi can be said to be taking care of him with all her heart, staying by his side day and night, inviting doctors, feeding medicine, porridge and soup, and only sleeping for two or three hours a day.

After Di Ge'er recovered from his illness, he was running around the room like a vivacious tiger again, Jun Xueqi and Shen Momo were relieved.

This child's temperament is uncertain, since Di Ge'er moved into Dongkua courtyard and was brought up by Jun Xueqi, because he has not changed his nanny and maid, so he seldom cries and fools around.And because Jun Xueqi always coaxed him to eat, drink and play, she gradually got closer to this stepmother.

During this illness, Jun Xueqi took good care of him again, making the little child more affectionate and dependent on this stepmother.Sometimes when I'm tired of climbing, walking, or running, I wrap around Jun Xueqi tightly to rest.

This made many people watching the excitement and planning to find fault with their new daughter-in-law gradually shut up, and some even praised Jun Xueqi's various rare qualities.Let the name of Jin San's virtuous virtue float out of the Jin Mansion and out of Yongning.

Jun's mother and Mrs. Jun, who were far away in Wenning, were very worried about Jun Xueqi after she had brought back two children. Now that they heard all kinds of virtuous names, their hearts that had been hanging for a long time finally fell.

As long as this child is brought up by Jun Xueqi, it will be her child, no matter if it is a natural child or a concubine child, as long as she is well-bred, she will only be recognized as her mother.

The days passed day by day, and it was the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye.While Jun Xueqi was raising the two children, she was helping Mrs. Su with the New Year's affairs.

Master Jin was also busy taking inventory of the goods and account books of each shop, and also arranged various gifts for officials and merchants to celebrate the New Year.

All the servants of the Jin Mansion were also busy cleaning up, so as not to cause a beating and scolding when the Chinese New Year was approaching, making it difficult to celebrate the New Year peacefully.

Jin Yuxuan, who was busy with business far away, also sent someone to send a letter back quickly, saying that he would be home on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month at the latest.Master Jin, Mrs. Su and Jun Xueqi knew about it, and they were very happy in their hearts, counting the days to wait for Jin Yuxuan's return.
