The day after Xu Mu and his wife returned to their hometown, they saw relatives from all over the world giving gifts. Yinhua also asked Xiao Laohu to show off in the village wearing the new clothes made by Zhuhua's family. Xu's father and Xu's mother were reluctant to let go when they held the child. Yinhua naturally would not stop them from making friends with their grandson, and also told the two elders that some interesting things about Xiao Laohu's growth were to make them happy. The two were naturally amused and laughed. But when they thought that their grandson would immediately go back with their son and daughter-in-law, they felt very reluctant to leave.

After staying for a few days, Yinhua naturally understood what they wanted to say, probably even Xu Mu was thinking of letting the children stay and spend more time with their parents. On this day, she greeted the two elders as usual and took the little tiger over to accompany the two elders for dinner. Halfway through the meal, Xia Hong, who was cleaning up the house in her house, walked out and whispered a few words in her ear. Yinhua glared at her, and made Xia Hong pout with aggrieved.

Xu's mother always looked down at the servants at home. These days, the old lady was called a little fluttering. Seeing Xia Hong's behavior, she said to Yinhua: "A Yin, you are so nice to the servants. They have made these little hooves unruly. This master is having dinner here, and what is her face on the side?"

Yinhua immediately said: "Yes, what my mother-in-law said is, when you go back, your wife will teach her a lesson."

Xia Hong felt even more aggrieved at this moment and said, "Old Madam, I know that I am wrong. It was because I saw that there was a painting of calligraphy and painting in my wife's dowry, and I was anxious, so I felt like this."

After saying this, Xu's mother and Xu's father both had some bad faces.

Seeing that his parents were like this, Xu Mu had some guesses in his heart, but he still asked: "Is there a thief in his family?"

Xu's mother was just nodding to respond, but Xia Hong said, "If you get into the thief, the master should go to report to the official as soon as possible. It is an antique and the only thing in the world. If the thief takes it off, he can follow the clues and find out."

Yinhua frowned and pulled Xia Hong, but Xia Hong still added: "Our wife also brought a famous post from the Marquis' Mansion with her and handed the post to the county magistrate. Maybe she can find it out now."

"No need." Xu's mother said, smiling at Yinhua with a little embarrassed, "A Yin, I took this painting. A few days ago, your second uncle said he wanted to do some small business with someone. He lacked some capital and wanted us to help turn around. We didn't have much cash in our hands, so we just thought that your calligraphy and paintings were also placed, and they were easily damaged by moisture. So he used one, as a 200 taels of silver. Otherwise, I'll give you the silver?"

"No need." Yinhua said quickly, but was overwhelmed by Xia Hong's voice.

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

Although Xu's mother was shocked by the price, she still said stubbornly: "What should I do to give my relatives such expensive things?"

"My position in the Ministry of Personnel was what His Highness Ping helped me to say." Xu Mu said embarrassedly.

Yinhua pursed her lips awkwardly at this moment, and said to Xu's mother: "Mother-in-law, since this painting is used, it's nothing. You can find it as a ticket and I will redeem it. If your family is short of money in the future, you can send a letter to the capital. I still have some valuable jewelry in my hand, but don't use these calligraphy and paintings anymore. It is easy for pawnshops to lose money if they love to slaughter customers."

Xu's mother was even more embarrassed when she heard this. Xu's father also glared at her and sighed: "There is nothing to be a ticket at all. She also heard from her brother-in-law that she had been a 200 taels, but she didn't see the money. The business was lost again and the money could not be returned."

Yinhua was silent for a while and said, "Why would I ask my uncle to inquire? If this painting is really gone, it would be better if it is still redeemed."

The three of them had no objection, but the next day, Yinhua found out that the second uncle sold the painting and sold it for 240 taels. He did not do the silver, but instead spent all his money outside. When Xu's mother heard this, she was so angry that she went to her second brother-in-law's house to ask for an explanation. But when her second sister heard about this, she blamed Xu's mother for loose hands, which made her man learn to drink wine. The two families quarreled for several days, and later they even made a fuss to break the sister's distance.

Yinhua actually knew about this early in the morning, but the uncle of the Sun family discovered that Xu Mu's second uncle had been a little magnanimous recently and found out after careful investigation. After receiving the news, Yinhua thought about finding an opportunity to make this happen, and took the opportunity to break off contact with the second aunt who had always fallen in love with Qiufeng.

Xu's mother was angry for several days and couldn't sleep even at night. When she got up in the morning, she thought about going to her second brother-in-law's house for a while. Yinhua stopped her when she had a quarrel, and she would not have any other result. She stopped her and persuaded her a lot, and said, "It's just that I shouldn't leave things here to attract attention, so that others will care about them and ignore their relatives. If there were no such things, the two families could walk around now."

"It has nothing to do with you." Xu's mother said quickly, and she did not blame Yinhua for the matter.

Yinhua blamed herself for a while before saying, "Mother-in-law, why don't I put all my dowry in the town house? My parents and parents invited people there to guard it, and they wouldn't be afraid of losing it. This is in the countryside. What if I get the thief's eyes next time, I'll bring disaster to you?"

Xu's mother had never thought about this, but Yinhua said so, so she couldn't stop her. After all, one of her dowry did fall off at home. When Yinhua asked someone to transport the dowry back to the city house, the matter between Xu's mother and her second sister also spread in the countryside. Although her second sister was not authentic, Xu's mother's dowry was also discussed for a while. At this moment, Xu's mother and Xu's father naturally couldn't mention the words of letting her grandson stay in the countryside.

However, before Xu Mu and Yinhua returned to Chang'an, Yinhua took a land deed from the village and secretly gave it to Xu's father.

"Dadfather, this is my new purchase. If the family spends less than enough, please send someone a message."

"No need, the family's money is enough." Xu's father pushed the land deed back.

The big ones were watched by the Yinhua dowry, and Uncle Li helped him watch. A small one had been handed over to Xu's father to watch. He couldn't spend much money in the countryside. The output of this small village was enough for the two of his family to spend. Xu's father was embarrassed to ask for another one.

Yinhua naturally pushed it over again and said, "You are troubled and help the little tiger watch it, just pretend to make some money from him. He became big in the blink of an eye. We also want to find him a better gentleman in the capital."

Xu's father nodded when he heard this. He was not as lazy as his second brother-in-law. He pretended to be generous outside because of the prestige of someone in his family as an official. After Xu Mu and the others left, Xu's mother couldn't help but say a few words when she thought of her grandson.

"My grandson lives well in Chang'an, why do you want him to come to the countryside to endure hardships with us? Yinhua said that in the future, Xiao Laohu should study in the capital. Think about the money Amu spent on studying back then, and it will always be more than doubled in the capital."

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

"Can this be the same? You just think about this little money, so that people can coax the big money away. You don't think about it. Your second sister's family always takes things from you. How many times will they deliver things to you? Even if the cabbage grown in the field is better kept for pigs, than thinking of giving it to you. You even believed his family's words, thinking of making a fortune?" Xu Mu sighed and took out the deed of the silver flowers and shook it in front of her, "It's better to farm honestly and save some pen and ink for the little tiger."

Xu's mother's eyes glowed when she saw the land deed. She had been beaten by her mother-in-law for many years. She never dared to disobey her own men. Seeing that he had already said harsh words, she naturally did not dare to say anything about letting her children stay in the countryside. But she hoped that one day Xu Mu would become a high-ranking official and take them all to the capital to live a good life.

Not long after Xu Mu walked, Xu Lan returned to her parents' home again. The day after Xu Mu arrived home, she went back and got a lot of good things from Yinhua to give her. After returning home, she thought to go there again before Yinhua left, but afterwards, the family seemed to have a quarrel with her second aunt's house, so she didn't go forward. She also heard that Yinhua had moved the dowry away. She was curious about what was going on, and when Yinhua left, she came to ask. When Xu's mother told her about the matter, she stamped her feet very unfortunately.

"Mom, since you have 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 it. When she heard her daughter say this, she looked at her and thought to herself that all the things were moved away. There were actually quite a lot of people she missed. She was all with grandchildren, and her son-in-law's family was not bad either, so naturally she would not think about moving her grandchild's things to her daughter.

Thinking of it, she said unabashedly: "You wait."

Xu Lan hadn't heard what she said yet, and thought to herself that she could only wait. The dowry had been moved to the town. The person she was watching was sent by the Marquis's Mansion. Who dared to move?

Shortly after returning to Beijing, Xu Mu also learned that Yinhua gave a farm to his family, and then became more considerate to Yinhua.

As soon as the two returned to Beijing, Xu Mu went to the Ministry of Justice to take office. This was the hottest time in Chang'an. Yinhua stayed by his side for a few days. Seeing that he was busy with business, but it was not as difficult as he needed someone to accompany him, he went to the countryside to escape the summer heat. Jinhua and Zhuhua had already gone. In previous years, they all went to the Cheng family's village, even if they got married. However, this year the three of them changed places to the village of Pingwang Mansion.

Although King Ping was not favored, the village assigned to him by the emperor was much larger than those of the Cheng Mansion, and the people inside were very wise. After Yinhua arrived at the village, she visited for a long time and saw many servants in the village respectfully called "Madam Xu" when she saw her, and she felt that she looked like a master than in her own village. Jinhua also liked the current village. I heard that there were a lot of prey on the mountain behind her, but unfortunately she was pregnant and could not go up the mountain to hunt.

While there was no one around, Yinhua said to Zhuhua: "Will there be too many people in your farm? Be careful not to lose money."

"It's all royal people, so it's hard to move around, so it's still a lot less." Zhuhua said.

Upon hearing this, Yinhua didn't say anything more. She is still quite in awe of the word "Royal".

Compared to Chang'an City, the village near the mountain is very cool surrounded by layers of green shade. There is also a mountain stream in the village. Even a commoner like Zhuhua also designated to use mountain spring water to make daily tea. The three sisters had nothing to do with each other. They just wanted to raise children. Zhuhua asked people to prepare two large pots of different heights to let the children soak in the water for a while every day. Jinhua also took the opportunity to teach Huan to swim happily. Even the little tiger and Lele were watching from the side, they would sway in the water for a few times. Tuantuan also liked to soak in the water, but she would fall asleep in the water after soaking for a while. Several times, she was still slapped in the water for a second, but fell asleep in the next second.

The one who took care of Tuantuan was Zhuhua promoted a girl and named Qiudong. She was originally doing needlework with Shixiang. Zhuhua saw that her needlework was average, but she was very careful and serious, so she transferred her over. She was very grateful to Qiudong, who was a little nervous in the needlework room, and took care of Tuantuan even more attentively.

But Zhuhua sometimes looked at this girl deliberately, and when Zhuhua looked over, she lowered her head guiltily. After several times, Zhuhua asked Qiu Chu to ask. Qiu Chu was transferred to the outer room since Zhuhua was in confinement and regretted it for a while. Zhuhua asked her to ask, and she went there immediately, although she probably knew the reason in her heart.

When she came to reply to Zhuhua a little later, she said, "It was Qiudong's sister in the needle and thread room who asked her to find out the master's words and see how they arranged their marriage?"

"Marriage?" Zhuhua asked in confusion. The people in the needle and thread room were all under Shi Xiang's care, and she really didn't pay attention.

"Some of them are already eighteen years old, and many servants in the house are over 20 and are not married yet."

The servants in the mansion kept staring at Zhuhua who came over with the dowry and the girls she had added later. But Xiao Lin, who was the best among them, was a father-in-law, and they couldn't ask him to ask questions. Moreover, when Zhuhua first entered the palace, everyone couldn't touch her temper, so they thought about talking about it in a few days. Later, Zhuhua became pregnant, and they didn't dare to bother her about these things. They also thought that when she gave birth to a son and asked someone to mention it through the joy of the mansion, she gave birth to a daughter, and she was in a bad mood after giving birth. They could only endure it, from spring to summer, and wanted to use Zhuhua to escape the summer to ask someone to tell her about it.

Because the three sisters Zhuhua came out this time, and the servants were not very much, they could only ask the people around Zhuhua to tell me. It turned out that they had entrusted Qiushi, but who knew that Zhuhua was with her this time, Qiuchu and Qiudong were there, and there was no Qiushi. They could only find the person in the sewing room to tell Qiudong that Qiudong had always known that there were several girls in the sewing room who had contact with the servants in the mansion. In the bigotry, it was called private entrusting and being beaten and sold. She always regarded it as if she didn't know. Who would have thought that there was a girl she always had good things in here, and she entrusted the matter to her and made it difficult for her to refuse. But these days in the countryside, she really didn't know how she had been talking, and she had transferred it to Zhuhua not long ago. She didn't know what the master was. If he talked about this matter rashly, what would happen if Zhao Zhuhua was angry?

Fortunately, Qiuchu came to ask her on his own initiative, and she said it all at once. Qiuchu was not afraid of mentioning Zhuhua.
