Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

The next day, Gu Huanxi learned that yesterday Xu Honglian not only went to seduce the old Xu family, but also met several girls in the village, including Xu Yangliu, the daughter of the village chief's family, and Xu Hongying, the daughter of Uncle Xu's family.

After breakfast, the two girls came to talk to her with some of their best velvet flowers. At first, they were a little embarrassed sitting in the flower hall. When they saw that Gu Huanxi did not put on airs because of the change in status, they finally He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at ease.

Yes, in their eyes now, the status of Xu Huaiyi and Gu Huanxi is different from the past. They have a village, a land, and a workshop that makes a lot of money every day. The whole village relies on them to live a good life now. , Xu Huaiyi also worshiped a master as capable as Sun Yu, and his future was just around the corner, so he was no longer an ordinary person.

But at this moment, Gu Huanxi still treated them politely, with gentle eyebrows and a smile on his lips. He was just like before. The only thing that changed was the clothes he wore. It was more refined than before, but it was not so rich that it was unattainable. The situation, anyway, they looked at, very comfortable, only slightly envious, but not jealous.

After a few words of greetings, Xu Yangliu said first, "Yesterday Xu Honglian went to my house to play with me, and generously brought me a pair of silver bracelets as a gift. Her words were even more enthusiastic, as if We used to get along very well, but actually, I didn’t get along well with her in the past..."

Xu Hongying took over the conversation in a low voice, "She also went to see me, bringing a pair of gold earrings. I said they were too expensive and refused to take them. She started wiping away tears and asked me if I disliked her and felt that She is now a concubine, and her status is not impressive, so I don’t think of her as a sister..."

Xu Yangliu muttered, "My mother said that concubines are disgraceful. People who really love their daughters will not let their girls become concubines. Concubines will always bow their head in front of the mistress, and they will give birth to children. She is also a concubine and will not receive much from the family property in the future, so she would rather be a poor man's wife than a noble man's concubine."

Xu Hongying nodded, "My two sisters-in-law have also said the same thing. Although the life of a poor man is more difficult, he can be the master of the family. But as a concubine of a rich man, even if he eats delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, and wears silks and satins, he has to be controlled by The first wife will never be free from now on, but everyone has their own ambitions, like Sister Honglian, she was not willing to marry a peasant and suffer hardships, and she wanted to be a concubine for a young master from a wealthy family. It was only God's will that made her become Master Qiao's concubine... …”

Mr. Qiao is old enough to be Xu Honglian's father.

Gu Huanxi rubbed the warm tea cup and listened patiently to what the two of them said to each other. She had already guessed their purpose of coming, but these two girls were thin-skinned and kept beating around the bush. She was amused in her heart, but she didn't Debunked.

Xu Yangliu added, "When things go wrong, there must be a monster. I don't have a good relationship with her, but she suddenly became so warm and generous to me. I became more cautious and wanted to see if she was holding something bad. Sure enough, She kept trying to get close to me, asking about things in the village and about Brother Xu. I pretended to be dumbfounded, saying that I stayed in the house all day making velvet flowers to earn money, and there was nothing to do outside. I don’t know, but she stopped asking me about it later, but she started reminiscing about old times with me, saying that we would come and go often in the future, and even invited me to go to Qiao’s house to play with her, as if I was having sex with her handkerchief, which made me feel so numb. Goosebumps…”

Xu Hongying smiled bitterly and said, "She treats me the same way. I tried my best to find excuses, but she cried to me, saying that she was alone in Qiao's house and had no one to talk to, leaving me free to stay with her. Talk, talk, still say..."

Xu Yangliu asked curiously, "What else are you talking about?"

Xu Hongying lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, and her voice sounded like a mosquito, "He also said that Mr. Qiao knows many young talents and will help me find a good husband..."

Xu Yangliu blushed when he heard this, but he still couldn't resist the charm of the gossip and continued to ask, "You agreed?"

Xu Hongying hurriedly shook her head, "How is that possible? It is not up to us to make the final decision on important matters such as marriage, parents' orders, and the matchmaker's words. Sister Honglian also forgot the rules..."

Xu Yangliu sighed, "How could she forget the rules? She is deliberately using this kind of good thing to tease you. She wants you to accept her favor so that she can continue the sisterly relationship with her. From now on, we can come and go often. , let others know that she is close to your family."

Xu Hongying raised her eyes, looked at Gu Huanxi, and said in a low voice, "I understand that she doesn't actually want to renew my sisterly relationship. She knows that the third brother treats my family well, so she wants to get closer and win over the third brother. ”

Hearing this, Xu Yangliu raised his lips and smiled, "As long as you understand, I am also clear in my heart. My second brother often said that being courteous for nothing is either adultery or stealing. She is good to us because she is plotting against the third brother Xu and the third brother. Sister-in-law, we can’t fall in love with her and fulfill her wishes..."

Xu Hongying held the handkerchief and nodded honestly.

Xu Yangliu looked at Gu Huanxi, "Third sister-in-law, don't worry, we won't be bribed by her small favors. My father broke down all the details in this and told me. I understand them all. My mother also said, As a concubine, there are no rules for showing up or walking outside. A wife should not interact with a concubine. It will make people look down on her. Therefore, I will not see her in the future to keep it safe so that she does not take advantage of her. "

Xu Hongying immediately followed up, "Me too. If she comes to visit me again in the future, my sister-in-law will help me send her away."

Gu Huanxi smiled lightly and said, "Thank you two sisters first, but there is no need to be so nervous. As a concubine of the Qiao family, she will not be shameless and do embarrassing things. So, after knowing your attitude, , there should be no more entanglement.”

Xu Yangliu asked, "Will I still pester you, sister-in-law?"

Gu Huanxi said, "Maybe, but I have a way to deal with her, so you don't have to worry."

Xu Honglian is a woman, trapped by the bad habits of this era, with limited knowledge and unable to make any trouble. What really needs to be watched out for are the men in the old Xu family. They are ambitious and will seize the opportunity to climb up at any cost. As long as it is profitable, I am afraid that all bottom lines and conscience will be betrayed.

Xu Huaiyi said that he would send someone to keep an eye on him and strangle him as soon as there was any sign of it. He didn't know whether it was reliable or not. After Gu Huanxi sent the two girls away, he worriedly told Wei Liang a few words to let him know more. With a keen eye, Lao Xu's family has troubles, so he can deal with them in time.

Wei Liang agreed, turned around and went to Zhuangzi to pick out a clever one and placed it around Lao Xu's house to act as a secret sentinel.

But no one expected that the Qiao family would move so quickly. Only one day later, the old Xu family would follow suit. Chickens and dogs have ascended to heaven.

First, Xu Huairen was directly arranged to work as a bookkeeper in a restaurant under the name of the Qiao family. He had a lot of money, five taels per month, red envelopes for the New Year, and no shortage of clothes for the four seasons.

Then there was Xu Huaili. Although he was lame, his talk was fine, but he couldn't go to the shop to socialize, so he was asked to work as a steward at the Qiao family's farm, supervising about ten people.

As for Xu Huailian, because he could hunt and had some skills, he joined the Qiao family as a nurse. In this way, his relationship with the Qiao family became closer, and Xu Honglian also had people in the Qiao family who could support him.

Finally, there is Xu Huaiyu. Ever since he injured his arm and was declared unable to take the imperial examination, he has become a little discouraged. He can neither do farm work, nor can he let go of his arrogance and work in the shop. The most difficult to arrange is that the Qiao family is also attentive. He actually found a school for him to serve as a tutor, teaching a group of children to enlightenment. This job was decent and not tiring, and he paid ten taels of silver per month. Finally, everything was to his liking.
