Lord, don't be afraid, the princess is not angry

Chapter 172
On the second day after Xu Mu and his wife returned to their hometown, they met relatives from all over the world and gave them all kinds of gifts. Yinhua also let the little tiger wear the new clothes made by Zhuhua's family to show off in the village.Xu's father and Xu's mother were reluctant to let go of their children, so Yinhua naturally wouldn't stop them from making friends with their grandson, and told the two elders some interesting stories about the little tiger's growth, which made them happy.The two naturally laughed out loud when they heard this, but when they thought that their grandson would go back with their son and daughter-in-law soon, they felt very sad.

After staying with Yinhua for a few days, she naturally understood what they wanted to say, maybe even Xu Mu was moved to let the children stay and spend more time with their parents.On this day, she greeted the second elder as usual, and brought the little tiger to have dinner with the second elder.In the middle of the meal, Xia Hong, who was tidying up the room in her room, came out and whispered something in her ear.Yinhua glared at her, which made Xia Hong pout aggrievedly.

Xu's mother always looked down on the servants in the family, and these days they called her the old lady, and she was a little smug. Seeing Xia Hong's behavior, she said to Yinhua: "Ah Yin, you are too kind to the servants." It's better, these little hooves have become unruly, this master is eating here, why is she making a face like a girl by the side."

Yinhua immediately said: "Yes, what the mother-in-law said is true. When I go back to my daughter-in-law, I will teach her a lesson."

Xia Hong was even more aggrieved at this moment, so she said: "Old lady, this servant realizes his mistake, it's because this servant was anxious when he saw that there was a piece of calligraphy and painting missing from Madam's dowry."

Having said that, Xu's mother and Xu's father have some bad faces.

Seeing his parents like this, Xu Mu had some guesses in his heart, but he still asked, "Is there a thief in the house?"

Xu's mother was nodding to answer, Xia Hong said: "If a thief has entered, the master should report to the officials earlier. It is an antique and the only thing in the world. If the thief is out of his hands, he can follow the clues to find out."

Yinhua frowned, and gave Xia Hong a hand, but Xia Hong still added: "Our wife still has the name card of the Marquis Mansion with her, hand it to the county magistrate, maybe you can find it today .”

"That's not necessary." Xu's mother said, smiling at Yinhua with some embarrassment, "Ayin, I took this painting. A few days ago, your second uncle said that he would start a small business with someone. We are short of capital and want us to help turn it around. We don’t have much cash in our hands, so we thought that those calligraphy and paintings of yours are still there, and they are easy to be damaged by moisture, so we took it as a painting. I paid 200 taels of silver. How about I return the silver to you?"

"No need." Yinhua said quickly, but Xia Hong's voice overshadowed her.

"It's only 200 taels. It's already sold for 500 taels in the capital. Our wife originally wanted to find it and send it to His Highness Ping Wang."

Although Xu's mother was shocked by the price, she still insisted: "Why do you give such expensive things to your relatives?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Ping helped me to explain my position in the Ministry of Officials." Xu Mu said shyly.

Yinhua pursed her lips in embarrassment at this moment, and said to Mother Xu: "Mother-in-law, since this painting is pawned, it's fine. You find out the pawn ticket and I'll redeem it. Money, you can send letters to the capital, I still have some valuable jewelry in my hand, but these calligraphy and paintings should not be pawned, pawnshops love to kill customers and it is easy to lose money."

Xu's mother was even more embarrassed when she heard that. Xu's father also stared at her and sighed: "There is no pawn ticket at all. She also heard from her brother-in-law that she pawned 200 taels, but she didn't even see the money. This business later I lost money again, and I can’t get my money back.”

Yinhua was silent for a long while, then said: "How about I ask uncle to find out, if the painting is really gone, forget it, if it is, it's better to redeem it."

The three of them had no objection, but on the second day, Yinhua found out that the second uncle had sold the painting for 240 taels. It's over.When Xu's mother heard this, she was so angry that she went to her second sister's husband's house to ask for an explanation, but when her second sister heard about it, she blamed Xu's mother for letting her hands go, causing her man to learn to drink flower wine.The two families quarreled for several days over this, and later it became even more arguing that they wanted to sever the sisterhood.

In fact, Yinhua knew about this early in the morning. Uncle Sun found out that Xu Mu and his second uncle had been living a bit richly recently, so they found out after careful investigation.After Yinhua received the news, she wanted to find an opportunity to make a fuss about it, and just took the opportunity to break off contact with her second aunt's house who always loved to come to her house to play the autumn wind.

Xu's mother was aggrieved by this for several days. She couldn't even sleep at night.Yinhua waited for her trouble to be over, and there would be no other consequences, so she stopped her, persuaded her a lot, and said: "It's my fault too, I shouldn't leave things here to attract attention, but let her be seen." Others don't care about relatives, if there are no these things, the two families can move around well now."

"It has nothing to do with you." Mother Xu said quickly, but she didn't blame Yinhua for the matter.

Yinhua blamed herself for a while, and then said: "Mother-in-law, why don't I put all my dowry in the house in the town, and the left and right parents have hired people to guard it there, and they are not afraid of losing it. Now, what if you offend some thief next time and cause disaster?"

Xu's mother didn't think about it, but Yinhua said so, she couldn't stop her, after all, she did lose one of her dowry at home.After Yinhua asked someone to bring the dowry back to the house in the city, the story between Xu's mother and her second sister spread in the countryside. Others discussed it for a while.At this moment, Xu's mother and Xu's father naturally couldn't talk about letting their grandson stay in the country.

But before Xu Mu and Yinhua returned to Chang'an, Yinhua took a land deed from Zhuangzi and quietly gave it to Xu's father.

"Father, I bought this new one. If the family's expenses are not enough, you can send someone a message."

"No need, the family has enough money." Father Xu pushed back the title deed.

Uncle Li helped to look after the older ones for Yinhua’s dowry, and the younger one has been handed over to Xu’s father. It doesn’t cost much money in the countryside. The output of this small Zhuangzi is enough for two people in the family. The flower was used up, so Father Xu was too embarrassed to ask for another one.

Yinhua naturally pushed over again, and said: "You are troubled and help the little tiger to watch, and you can earn some money for his pen and ink. He will grow up in the blink of an eye, and we still want to find him a better husband in the capital." .”

Xu's father nodded when he heard the words. He is not like his second brother-in-law who is lazy and pretends to be rich outside.After Xu Mu and the others left, Mother Xu couldn't help saying a few words when she thought of her grandson.

"The grandson lives well in Chang'an. Why do you let him come to the countryside to endure hardships with us? Yinhua said that in the future, the little tiger will be allowed to study in the capital. Think about the money that Amu spent on studying in the capital. It is always more than doubled in the capital of."

"You can go to school for free when you come to the village..."

"Can this be the same? You are thinking about the small money, so people coaxed away the big money. Don't even think about it. Your second sister's family always takes things from you, and several times they will send things to you. In your hands? Even if the cabbage she grows in the field, she would rather keep it to feed the pigs than think of adding it to you. You actually believed his family's words, thinking of making a fortune?" Xu Mu sighed for a long time , took out the land deed that Yinhua asked to give and shook it in front of her, "It's better to farm the land honestly, and save the little tiger some pen and ink expenses."

Xu's mother's eyes glowed when she saw the land deed, and she had been beaten by her mother-in-law for many years, and she had never dared to disobey her man. Seeing that he had already said something serious, naturally she didn't dare to say anything about letting the child stay in the country, but she was looking forward to some One day Xu Muneng became a high official and took them all to the capital to live a good life.

Not long after Xu Mu and his party left, Xu Lan returned to her natal home again.On the second day after Xu Mu arrived home, she went back once, and got a lot of good things from Yinhua.After returning home, she thought about going there again before Yinhua left, but then there seemed to be a quarrel between the family and the second aunt's house, so she didn't move forward, and heard that Yinhua had moved all the dowry away up.She was very curious about what happened, and came to ask Yinhua as soon as she left. When Xu's mother told her, she stamped her feet regretfully.

"Mother, since you moved your sister-in-law's dowry, why don't you sell one more painting to subsidize your daughter?"

Xu's mother was selling the painting cheaply, and she regretted not getting the money. Hearing what her daughter said, she took a look at her, and thought to herself that it was a good thing that all the things had been moved away. In fact, there were quite a few people who missed it.She is a person with grandsons, and her son-in-law's life is not bad, so naturally she will not think about moving her grandson's things to her daughter.

Thinking about it, she said in a nonchalant way: "You just wait."

Before Xu Lan could understand what she meant, she thought to herself, I can only wait, the dowry has been moved to the town, and the people who are watching are sent by the Hou Mansion, who dares to move it?

Not long after returning to Beijing, Xu Mu also knew that Yinhua had given a Zhuangzi to his family, and he became more gentle and considerate to Yinhua after that.

As soon as the two returned to Beijing, Xu Mu went to the Ministry of Justice to take up his post. It was the hottest time in Chang'an, and Yinhua stayed by his side for a few days. Seeing that he was busy with business, it was not so difficult that he needed someone by his side. When he was with him, he went to the village of Zhuangzi to escape the summer heat.Jinhua and Zhuhua have already left.In the past, they all went to the Zhuangzi of the Cheng family, even if they were married, but this year the three of them changed places and went to the Zhuangzi of Prince Ping's Mansion.

Although King Ping was not favored, the Zhuangzi assigned to him by the Holy Majesty was much bigger than that in Cheng's mansion, and the people in it also knew the rules very well.After Yinhua arrived at the Zhuangzi, she wandered around for a long time, and saw many slaves on the Zhuangzi respectfully called "Mrs. Xu" when they saw her, and felt more like a master than at her own Zhuangzi.Jinhua also likes Zhuangzi now. I heard that there are a lot of prey on the mountain behind. Unfortunately, she is pregnant now and cannot go up the mountain to hunt.

While there was no one around, Yinhua said to Zhuhua, "Isn't it too much for you to put so many people in one village? Be careful not to lose money."

"They are all members of the royal family, and they are not easy to move around. This is still a lot less." Zhuhua said.

Hearing this, Yinhua didn't say anything more, she was still in awe of the word "royal" now.

Compared with Chang'an City, Zhuangzi near the mountain is surrounded by layers of green shade, which is very cool and cool. There is also a mountain stream in Zhuangzi. Even ordinary people like Zhuhua specify to use the mountain spring water to make their daily tea.The three sisters have nothing else to do, they get together to raise children, Zhuhua asked people to prepare two large pots of different heights, let the children soak in the water for a while every day, Jinhua also took the opportunity to teach Huanxixi Swimming, even if the little tiger and Lele are watching from the side, they will splash a few times in the water.Tuantuan also likes to soak in the water, but she will fall asleep in the water after a while. Several times, she was still splashing in the water one second, and then fell asleep on her side the next second.

The person who took care of Tuantuan was Zhuhua who promoted a new girl named Qiudong. She used to do needlework with Shixiang. Zhuhua saw that her needlework was so-so, but she was very careful and serious, so she was transferred here. This is very grateful to Qiu Dong, who was a little timid in the sewing room, and took care of Tuantuan more attentively.

It's just that Zhuhua looks at this girl and sometimes looks at her intentionally, and when Zhuhua looks over, she lowers her head guiltily.After several times in a row, Zhuhua asked Qiuchu to inquire.At the beginning of Qiuqiu, Zhuhua was transferred to an outhouse since she was upset when she was in confinement, and she regretted it for a while. Now Zhuhua asked her to ask, and she went right away, although she probably knew the reason in her heart.

When she came to talk to Zhuhua later, she said, "A sister from Qiudong in the sewing room asked her to come and find out about the master and see how their marriage is arranged?"

"Marriage?" Zhuhua asked puzzled, those people in the sewing room were under the supervision of Shixiang, and she really didn't pay attention.

"Some of them are already married, and there are many servants in the house who are over twenty and haven't married yet."

The servants in the house have been staring at Zhuhua's dowry and the maids she added later, but among them Xiao Lin who is the most able to talk to the inner court is a father-in-law, so it is difficult for them to ask him to ask questions.And when Zhuhua first entered the palace, everyone still couldn't understand her temper, so they wanted to mention it in a few days. Later, Zhuhua became pregnant, and they didn't dare to bother her with these things, and they thought about waiting for her to give birth to a son. With Daxi in the Fuzhong, she asked someone to mention this matter, but who knew that she gave birth to another daughter, and she was in a bad mood after giving birth.They could only bear it, endured it from spring to summer, and they were in a good mood when they wanted to use the bead flower to escape the heat and asked someone to tell them about it.

Because the three Zhuhua sisters came out this time, and they didn't have many servants, so they could only entrust the people around Zhuhua to talk about it.Originally they entrusted autumn time, but who knew that this time Zhuhua was with me at the beginning of autumn and autumn and winter, and there was no autumn time.They could only temporarily find someone from the sewing room to tell Qiu Dong that Qiu Dong always knew that there were a few girls in the sewing room who were in contact with the servants in the mansion. She always pretended not to know that the meal was sold out.Who would have thought that there was a girl she had always been close to, and she entrusted the matter to her so that she could not refuse.But in the past few days in the countryside, she really doesn't know how to speak. She has not been transferred to Zhuhua's side for long, and she still doesn't know what the master's temperament is. ?
Fortunately, Qiuchu took the initiative to ask her, and she said it out of nowhere, and Qiuchu was not afraid to mention this matter to Zhuhua.
