Chapter 27
Xue Yuntao doesn't care about the backyard, which in some aspects also gives Xue Chen great convenience. At least she can arrange many things at will.
Xu Su'e's yard is located in the Xikuanyuan and lives next to Aunt Tian. The place was specially opened by Lu's family to take a concubine for Xue Yuntao. Unfortunately, Xue Yuntao was not very proactive in this regard. He was only interested in academics. Women were optional accessories for him. What he was rare was that he was not lustful. Therefore, over the years, there were only Lu's wife, Aunt Tian and Xu Su'e.
Xue Chen asked Aunt Tian to take charge of the tents of the two yards, and all the food, clothing and expenses were controlled by Aunt Tian. Although Xue Chen knew that Aunt Tian and Xu Su'e's methods were very different. Even if she gave Aunt Tian the rights, in the end, she would be dealt with by Xu Su'e. But she just didn't want to give Xu Su'e any rights easily, and wanted her to know what it would feel like to earn everything by herself.
After making arrangements for Xu Su'e, Xue Chen personally picked eight maids in the yard and promoted them to second-class level. Xue Wan and Xue Lei sent four of them to the yard, two of them were in the inner and the inner workings, two of them served outside and the outer room, and two other rude women. Xue Lei was a boy, so there were two more servants in the yard. Because he would go to the East Mansion to study every day in the future, Xue Chen specially arranged a small carriage for him to pick him up and drop him off.
Xue Lei is a boy, so he lives alone in the southeast corner of Dongqianyuan. The yard is called Qinmiju, while Xue Wan lives in the southwest corner of Dongqianyuan. Not far from Xue Chen's Qingqueju. Because she planted a lot of crabapple in the yard, the name of the yard is Haitangyuan. Xue Wan has never lived in such a good place. She is quite satisfied with the yard and the maid sent by Xue Chen to serve her. She almost felt a little bit like that of Xue Chen, the sister, who was actually not bad to her.
In fact, Xue Chen was indeed not prepared to treat the siblings harshly in this regard, because no matter what, they are all Xue Yuntao's children and descendants of the Xue family. They have the right to enjoy the supply of the Xue family, and they also include one yard, which is equipped with six people to serve, and they can go in and out of the carriage and horses, and have no worries about food and clothing. As long as they can be more sane in the future, Xue Chen asked himself that he could treat them equally.
The next morning, Xue Chen was dressed neatly and went to Qinmianju to call Xue Lei. After having breakfast with him, he took him to the East Mansion. In the car, Xue Lei was a little nervous and kept biting his lips and rubbing his hands. These two habits in the market made Xue Chen unable to see them, but he didn't say anything. Of course, there would be a disciplinary mother and husband who taught him about these habits, so she really didn't need to speak in person.
When the gatekeeper of the East Mansion saw Xue Chen's carriage, he immediately came down from the steps and helped the coachman stop the carriage. Then, when Qin Feng and Zheng Yuan jumped out of the carriage, helped Xue Chen and Xue Lei down, and then came forward to pay his respects to Xue Chen. Although he was curious, he only dared to glance at Xue Lei who was stiff all over.
An old woman came to lead the way. Xue Chen walked in front and Xue Lei followed behind. Xue Chen walked in the elegant and quiet garden without squinting eyes, and whispered to Xue Lei behind her:
"I will just go to see the old lady later. Don't be nervous. After the ceremony is done properly, I will take you to Shuikengfang to find a gentleman."
Xue Lei nodded, not daring to say anything.
The meeting went smoothly. Ning just gave a few simple instructions, and then asked Xue Chen to take Xue Lei to Shuiyanfang to find the husband.
Ning has always been the kind of person who can take it down. Although she had thought of justifying her mother for the sake of Xue Lei's grandson, she thought it was not feasible after careful consideration, and she did not feel much reluctant to leave. What's more, the grandson's performance was indeed too ordinary, and his appearance was not very outstanding. At most, he could be described as pretty. He looked a bit like Xu Su'e, but his appearance seemed a little feminine when he was a boy, which made people not like him very much.
My aunt is right. The Xue family’s grandson must be a legitimate child and a righteous son. Even if one is born, it is not too late. There is really no need to just give up that bad reputation for such a thing.
After understanding this, even if Ning's family was completely relaxed, they were just a concubine's son. As long as they didn't do anything wrong in the future, they would lose the face of the Xue family and have ordinary qualifications.
Shuiguafang is a place specially opened by Xue Ke in the East Mansion, which is dedicated to the descendants of the Xue family's direct descendants. Before Xue Lei, the direct descendants in the East Mansion were vacant. Now Xue Lei is here. Although he is the uncle's concubine's son, he is also recognized by the gentlemen.
Xue Chen is a girl's family and will not take the imperial examination in the future, so he does not have to come to study every day. He only seeks another female teacher to teach female precepts and female precepts.
She sent Xue Lei into the water hookah shop, and after seeing her husband recognize the student, she turned around and left, returned to Qingzhuyuan, and reported to Ning, and was about to go out to find Han Yu. She happened to meet Zhao and Xue Xiu who came to greet him. After Xue Chen greeted Zhao, she went to find Han Yu with Xue Xiu.
Han Yu was doing needlework with Xue, and all the objects on the white background and blue edges came to her eyes. When she saw Xue Xiu and Xue Chen coming, Han Yu put down the needlework and thread in her hands and met them. Before Xue Chen and the others could salute Xue, she heard her holding the two hands and saying:
"Oh, you finally came to see me. My fingers have almost been poked these days. If you don't come again, my fingers may not be able to be saved."
After saying something pitiful, Xue wanted to scold her, but because there was a guest on the spot, she just glared at her and asked Xue Xiu and Xue Chen to come in and sit down.
After the maid served tea, Xue Chen pointed to the things on the table and asked, "What are these?" The small clothes and pants with white background and blue sides did not look like children's styles, but adults could not wear them.
Xue smiled and said, "The general will have three years in April, and his family will be invited to vegetarian food. These are all for him. It was originally possible for the embroiderer to do it, but I think we two will do it for him by themselves."
Xue Chen immediately understood what Xue's meaning was.
The general she talked about was Han Yu's father who died in battle. Xue was married to General Tingwei. More than two years ago, the general died in battle. The court awarded the imperial edict to Xue, giving the name of Madam Zhenjie, and letting her guard the general's mansion to continue the incense for the general.
These small clothes should be burned for the general when doing vegetarian food. Although there is an embroiderer, Xue wants to do it by herself, which is considered a great intention.
Xue Chen immediately felt a little sympathetic to Xue's experience, and Xue Xiu was the same. After sighing, she wanted to change the topic and asked Xue's question:
"Have the general passed away for three years?"
Xue smiled and said, "After this Qingming Festival, it will be three years. However, you can't do it for three years. So you will do it in early April. At that time, you should go there too. At that time, I will send a car to pick up Sister Chen. Although you are filial, the general is also your uncle. Before you go, you must first go to your mother's tablet. Do you know?"
Xue Chen nodded: "Well, I understand. There are two more younger brothers and sisters in the mansion now. I wonder if I should take them with me that day?"
After thinking about it, Xue said, "This... I can't say anything. Go back and ask your father. If he agrees, I will bring you together that day."
After this agreement was made, Xue Chen and Xue Xiu "snatched" Han Yu away from Xue's side, and the three girls went into the ear room next to them and spoke.
Xue Chen had dinner in the East Mansion, and after Xue Lei got off the school, he resigned to the old lady and returned to Yanzi Lane.
Xue Lei went to home school on the first day, and the teacher left him some homework. It seemed quite heavy and he didn't dare to delay it. He went to his yard when he came back.
Xue Chen asked the kitchen to prepare supper for him and delivered it to the yard. Then she returned to Qingquejujue's residence and changed her clothes. Hu Shu's family came to report that she was arranged by Xue Chen to do things in Xu Su'e's yard. She was very clever and could do things. The head of the house was the account room in the mansion. When Xue Chen wanted to look at Lu's accounts, it was Hu Shu who sorted it out for her overnight. After that, Hu Shu's family's residence was officially used by Xue Chen.
"Miss, Immortal Xu embroidered flowers in the yard for a day today. At noon, the second lady went to Aunt Xu's place for dinner. After dinner, she took a nap at Aunt Xu's place for half an hour. She didn't go back to Haitangyuan until the lady came back."
Xue Chen changed his clothes from inside, tidied up his sleeves while walking, and did not respond positively to what Hu Shujia said, but asked casually:
"Have you found a polite and disciplined mother?"
Hu Shujia's cleverness knew what Xue Chen meant as soon as he heard it, and immediately leaned forward and replied quickly: "I've found it. I've found my sister from my third cousin's family. I have studied and are well-educated. I have learned from the nanny from the palace in the palace. I did it well and signed a work contract. However, last year, she was in the head of the house, so she quit her job and went back to take care of him. This year, she is better in the head of the house, and she wants to do things again. She is very sensible and has learned from the nanny in the palace. It's perfect for her to ask her to be a discipline mother for the second lady."
Xue Chen was always busy with his own affairs. After Hu Shujia finished speaking, she raised her head, looked at Hu Shujia, and said:
"It would be better if I was a sensible person. The second lady has been outside in the past years and has learned a lot of market habits. Although our Xue family is not a noble family like a royal family, when the lady goes out, it also represents the family style. She is not careless, so let her come in and try it for two days. I'll see if it's right."
When the Hu Shujia heard that the lady did not refuse immediately, she smiled happily. After taking her life, she stepped down.
