Chapter 77

Xue Chen's silk flower shop sent a lot of fashionable styles to the mansion. Xue Chen left two for himself and Xue Xiu, and the rest were all for Jingjie, Lanjie, Qinjie and the others. Thinking that she hadn't seen Xue Xiu for several days, she took it to her in person. Who knew that she was not at home? When she asked her maid, she only said that she was very busy recently. Xue Chen couldn't see her, so she left the silk flower and came back.

Lan Jie'er and Qin Jie'er went out again today and were dressed very beautifully. Xue Chen also heard from the doorman that the third and fourth lady went out very frequently in the past two days. Every time, people from different mansions came to pick them up. Xue Chen was worried about them, so he went to find Xiao.

Xiao came back from the East Mansion and sat in front of the desk and looked at something. When he saw Xue Chen coming in, he waved to her and said, "Sister Chen is here, come over quickly and take a look for me."

After Xue Chen passed by, he saw Xiao holding a few rosters like the Iceman Hall in his hand. He looked up at her and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Xue Chen recognized this thing. Although she did not have children in her previous life, several concubines of Song Antang gave birth to them. Two years before her death, she was still picking people for Song Antang's two concubines. Therefore, she had seen the booklet of the Iceman Hall, and Xiao did not hide it from her and said:

"I got this back from the Iceman Hall. Jing Jie'er, Lan Jie'er, Qin Jie'er, are both thirteen and fourteen this year. It's time to choose someone for them."

Xue Chen looked at her and was a little puzzled. If she said she would pick this book for Wei Zhilan and Wei Zhiqin, then Xue Chen could still understand that Jingjie was her own daughter. Could she also choose from it?

Xiao seemed to see Xue Chen had a question and said, "Don't blame me for choosing it for them first. The people in this Iceman Hall are all very ordinary families. You are the eldest daughter of the master, so naturally you can't choose from it."

Xue Chen didn't want to say that she wouldn't choose first, but felt it was strange, so he simply asked, "What about Sister Jing? She is also the wife's daughter. How can she choose from it?"

Xiao laughed at herself and said, "Jing Jie'er can't compare with you. When she was born, she took her away to the old lady of the Wei family, saying that she was brought by her side and raised her, and developed her soft temperament now. If she chose a high-ranking family for her, she would not be able to support that family in the future. Instead of doing this, it would be better to find a wealthy family for her and live a peaceful life. Lan Jie'er and Qin Jie'er are good at doing things, but they are too jealous. If they also have high-ranking families for them, they are afraid that they will make people uneasy in the future, so they can choose such wealthy families."

Xue Chen looked through the roster casually and felt that Xiao was indeed preparing for Jingjie. If Jingjie's personality entered the high school, she would indeed be wronged. Thinking that her mother always loves the child and would think about the child everywhere. Xue Chen thought of her mother, Lu, was sad in her heart, closed the roster and said:

"Since you want to marry a wealthy family, it's too early. Sister Jing is only fourteen."

Xiao looked at the book and continued to sigh and said, "Oh, I'm not afraid of you making fun of it. I'm a useless person. I didn't gain a foothold in the Wei family before, so I asked Jingjie'er's father to make a marriage contract with my brother and sister-in-law's nephew. That family is not a rule-based one. Her nephew had three concubines at a young age, and the eldest son was born. Jingjie'er's temperament would not be eaten by them even if they married. So, I wanted to find someone to marry Jingjie'er so that they could not even worry about it."

Yesterday Xue Chen had learned about these things from Sister Jing. Xiao did not hide them from her. It was obviously her own person. Thinking about the way Aunt Wang looked at her looking at the goods yesterday, Xue Chen was not happy and said:

"How can my wife find someone to marry Jing Jie'er for such a family? Not to mention that you are the county lord, Jing Jie'er has a noble status. Even if you are not the county lord, you are always your own daughter. When you marry the Xue family, the Xue family always has to protect your mother. No matter what, my father is still a third-rank official. After a year, he will ask you to ask for an imperial decree. Then Jing Jie'er's identity will be even more different. When you look at it, you must choose a family that is polite and tactful, so that you won't feel wronged."

Xiao really didn't expect to hear this from a stepdaughter. He felt warm in his heart. He hugged Xue Chen's shoulder, patted her shoulder, and said sincerely: "It is a blessing for me and Jie Jing to marry into the Xue family."

Xue Chen looked at the roster again, then remembered the purpose of his arrival and said to Xiao, "Oh, by the way, Qin, who has been out recently, did Mrs. Lan Jie'er and Qin Jie'er go out, do you know where they are going?"

Speaking of the two concubines, Xiao was frowning again: "Oh, they! Since I went to Yuan Mansion with me that day, my social circle has become bigger. Originally, the girls had nothing to do with each other. The day before yesterday, Mrs. Li came to me and said that Sister Lan was interested in provoking their brothers. It would be fine if she was one of them, but they were provoking them at the same time, so they loved to see those brothers being jealous for them and even fought. Mrs. Li's son was injured by the Sun family because of them, so she came to me."

This is the first time Xue Chen has heard of this, but he didn't expect that Wei Zhilan and Wei Zhiqin are like this. They just think they are lively and enthusiastic on weekdays.

Seeing that Xiao was embarrassed, he said, "Since such a thing happened, we should temporarily detain them at home. How could the wife let them go out every day?"

"They made an appointment with others, and they were all official ladies. If they were untrustworthy, I was afraid that I would hurt the decency of the Xue family, and I would not want to make things happen at home outside and let people know." Xue Chen finally knew where Jing Jie'er's soft temper came from. He felt that this matter could not be left alone, so he said to Xiao again:

"Mrs. This matter is wrong. Since Sister Lan and Sister Qin have caused trouble outside, the wife shouldn't let them go out again. This time, she just hurt Mr. Li. What about next time? If something happens, wouldn't it hurt even more decent? And if you let it go like this, it will make Mrs. Li feel that it will be bad for you to not care about your concubine's daughter after all, and it will be detrimental."

After hearing Xue Chen's words, Xiao thought about it and felt it made sense, so he nodded and said, "Sister Chen is right. I am confused. When they come back today, I will detain them in the mansion."

Xue Chen shook his head and said, "It's not that you'll detain them after you come back today, but that you'll send someone to bring them back now. They are concubine daughters and you're the legitimate mother. You have the obligation to discipline them, but you don't have the obligation to give them face. What's more, the face of the Xue family is not something that can be achieved by those two concubines going out to socialize with others. The wife must not be confused and missed the importance of it."

Xiao looked at Xue Chen and saw that she was not joking, with a correct expression and reasonable attitude. He immediately called the housekeeper to come and give instructions, asking him to take the two women to Sun's house to bring the third and fourth lady back.

Xue Chen looked at her and felt that Xiao was not hopeless. At least she could listen to her words. Her housekeeper was indeed capable, but she was not very accurate in terms of human relationships. This was the same as Xue Chen's mother, Lu. Lu had her own methods in business and the housekeeper. However, in terms of human relationships, no one taught her and was not clear about her personality. Xiao was the same type as Lu. She was a person who did practical things, but not a person who could weigh the pros and cons. She and Lu were both too upright, and both had a natural sense of inferiority. She was rude to people and things. Although she had a status, she did not grow up in a lofty environment since she was a child. She was accustomed to retreating, not meddling in other people's affairs, not talking about gossip, and not causing trouble.

In the past, no one around Lu had to just live by, so he had to just live by. Now that Xiao has entered the door, Xue Chen has to tell her these truths no matter how hard it is. It can be regarded as some comfort to her deceased mother.

After Xiao ordered the housekeeper, he came over to Xue Chen and said sincerely: "Sister Chen, don't blame me. I'm not very clear about some things. Tell me more. I will learn the same thing every day, and there will always be times when I can learn it."

Xue Chen smiled at her and said, "Madam, don't mess with me. If you have any questions you may have in the future, you can ask me. As long as I know, I will tell my wife."

After returning from the main yard, I saw a carrier pigeon stopping on her pen holder, making a guzzling sound. It seemed that it hadn't been here for long because the water and food in the cage had not moved.

Xue Chen took off the bamboo tube on its legs, held it and put it into the cage, let it rest, and then sat behind the desk, took out the letter from the bamboo tube, and read it.

They have never met since the misunderstanding in the stone pavilion that day. Xue Chen also felt very conflicted. He felt embarrassed and felt that he should meet. He explained it carefully, but he never had a chance. She was embarrassed to ask Lou Qingyun to come to find her at night. Lou Qingyun seemed to be very busy recently. The carrier pigeons flew in the evening, but in the past few days, they have been flying between the three hours of You and the three hours of Xu, half an hour later than before.

In the letter, Lou Qingyun told Xue Chen why he was busy these days. It turned out that the emperor asked him to accompany him to stay in Xishan Palace for a few days in two days. These days he personally selected the candidates for the North Town Fushi. After selecting the people, he had to train them and rush to the other palace to set up defenses in advance. These days he was so busy that he couldn't even eat food, and sometimes he would chew a steamed bun to deal with it.

After seeing what he said, a feeling of heartache slowly rose in his heart. He imagined that he was not full of food and was running all day long, and he felt very upset in his heart. Even the emperor began to complain, so many people were available, why did he have to run around?

Then she realized her mentality and hurriedly suppressed it. She had been struggling for a long time before she wrote the reply, sent it into the bamboo tube, and released the pigeon.
