129 Cangtong Town
Eleven Niang stepped on the snow and returned, Yan Xia smiled and helped her untie her cloak, handed over the stove in her hand, and moved the brazier over, "It's cold, the kitchen is equipped with ginger soup, I'll help the girl fill a bowl, and the girl will warm up first." ”
Eleven Niang smiled and nodded, when she went out in the summer, Eleven Niang stood in front of the window holding the stove, looking at the heavy snow outside, the snow at the border should be so big, right?
"Eleven Niang!"
The door, with a bang, was pushed open by Banniang.
Banniang wore a begonia red rabbit fur-edged skirt, with snow on her head, and when she saw Eleven Niang by the window, she walked over with a chatter, "I've been going for so many days, and I don't know how to see my father and mother first when I come back, if I didn't listen to Yanxia, I didn't know that you were back!" Let's go, the whole family is waiting for you......"
After the New Year, Banniang has grown longer and longer, with a similar appearance to Eleven Niang, one is gentle and demure and the other is heroic, Mrs. Ding has praised it no less than ten times, but after seeing the dowry prepared by Xia Chenghe and Luo for Erniang and Sanniang, she no longer asks the girl of the Xia family to be her daughter-in-law.
"Eighth sister." Eleven Niang looked sideways and smiled faintly.
Banniang glared at her with disgust, grabbed her hand, "Let's go, ......"
While pulling her out, he nagged her, "My hands are so cold, I didn't see you so cold when I was a child, it must have been frozen that winter, drive Ming'er to find Dr. Mo to help you take a look, cure the roots, save you in winter and people are like ice cubes." ”
chattered about what rich dishes Luo and Zhou had prepared, and Master Fan took out his home-brewed wine and waited for her to come back to eat.
Xia Chengxiang and Li were also there, a big round table was placed in the small living room, when Eleven Niang arrived, there was a maid putting vegetables on the table, and when she saw Eleven Niang and Eight Niang coming in, Luo smiled and asked the maid to bring a brazier next to her.
The family had a lively Lantern Festival dinner, chatted for half an hour, and dispersed to rest without mentioning.
In February, Emperor Shunping's condition was stable, and he held a meeting test and a palace test, and Sheng Zi was hand-picked by Emperor Shunping and became the second list, and the news was sent to Yanghuai Hutong for the first time, followed by the good news that Sanniang was pregnant.
As soon as Luo said that he had brought a gift to visit his in-laws in Cangtong Town, Cangtong Town sent a letter from Dafang.
"Eleven Niang, what does the letter say?"
Eleven Niang raised her head and frowned slightly, "Say that the tenth sister will be married in May and June, let our family go to the wedding." ”
Luo was surprised, "Ten mothers and fifteen are going to get married?" Can you tell who you married? ”
"Got it." Eleven Niang glanced down at the letter and said, "It was said that the county princess's wife was the matchmaker, and she told the tenth sister to the son of the county lord's eldest sister's family...... It's a wife. ”
The letter also said that although the eldest sister of the county magistrate of Cangtong Town was married to the son of the Cao family side branch in the capital, she was very favored by the old lady, and the old lady had a great relationship with the old lady of the Cao family!
Such a show off of the red fruit is superficial and makes people laugh.
But it wasn't this that made Eleven frown, but, the letter emphasized that they should go as a family twice, and she was specifically mentioned!
Xia Chenghe sighed, "Fortunately, Ming Media is marrying ......"
The couple glanced at each other, and they both thought of Jiuniang, who was sent into the backyard of the Yunzhou prefect with a sedan chair to be a concubine for the lame, and heard that it was very unsatisfactory, and was beaten by the prefect's lame son, and he liked to put on music in front of his mother's family, and was debunked by the maid in front of Shi Niang.
Shi Niang quarreled with the maid, and when she came home to cry to Shiro, Shiro wrote it into a letter and sent it quietly to Shi Niang.
"Shi Niang is still a little small, in case she is pregnant with a child...... "Luo said worriedly, if there are any people and things in the big house that make Sanfang worry, it is nothing more than Shi Niang and Shilang.
At the age of fifteen, the bones of the body are still developing, giving birth to a child is like breaking through the ghost gate, and if you are not careful, you will die!
But in this matter, she can only worry and worry, Shi Niang has a father and sisters, so it will not be her turn to speak.
Roche obviously knew it, and he paused only halfway through his words and sighed heavily.
"In this case, it is better to send a letter to your in-laws, participate in the wedding of Shi Niang, and visit by the way." Xia Chenghe discussed Luo and Eleven Niang.
"Wouldn't that be bad? Let's visit for the first time, and we stopped by...... Will it make the in-laws feel that they don't pay enough attention? Roche thought for a moment and hesitated.
Xia Chenghe also hesitated a little.
Eleven Niang smiled, "If Daddy thinks it's not good, it's better to go over a few days in advance, visit the Sheng family first, and then play in Cangtong Town, participate in the tenth sister's wedding and come back." Wouldn't that be both? ”
Xia Chenghe and Luo Shi glanced at each other and smiled, "Cheng, listen to the girl." ”
Xia Chengye and Fang's heard about it, and they prepared makeup and sent it.
The two-story restaurant bought by Eleven Niang was converted into a small shop of the Xia family, selling still some food, because the food tasted good and the business was very good, Xia Chengye and Fang's were also called to help, and the family moved to the second courtyard behind the restaurant for convenience.
The eldest man of the Xia family has been diagnosed and treated by Mo Yan, although he has not recovered to the body that he used to be able to take a hoe to the ground, but his spirit is much better, and he is much better at eating, talking and doing some small work on weekdays, and the family is very grateful to Mo Yan.
"We can't go over, you can quietly add this thing to Shi Niang." Fang smiled and said to Roche.
Roche nodded.
Aunt Li also came to send makeup, and gossiped with Luo, "Shi Niang, this child is kind and kind, and I don't know if I will suffer if I marry into such a family......
Roche sighed.
Shi Niang's wedding day was May 28, and Luo looked at the yellow calendar and said that it was not a good day, and it was not good to marry anything else.
Wufang also received a letter, Xia Chengxiang couldn't get away because he was busy building, so Li and Sanfang set off early to Cangtong Town.
They arrived in Cangtong Town on May 22.
The Sheng family greeted them at the gate of the town early, picked them up into the city, and arranged a place to live
city, arrange a place to live before going back to life.
Xia Chenghe, Luo and Li went to the county government to greet Old Man Xia and Mrs. Qiao, Eleven Niang and Eight Niang were afraid that their father and mother would suffer, so they also had to follow, and Xiao Twelve was dragged all the way to the county office.
The county yahou's house is very small, and the place assigned to the county is even smaller.
The small courtyard, in addition to the kitchen and firewood room, there are only six rooms that can live in people, the master bedroom where the old man Xia and the old lady Qiao live, Xia Chengping and the Zhao family live in a slightly smaller room, Xia Chengle and the Huang family live in a room, Xia Hongxia and Yang Deshi in the room, this goes to four rooms, the remaining two, one boy in the house, one girl, the little maid who waits in the yard and the little guy who runs errands can only make a bunk in the room of the young lady and the young master, and the rough mother-in-law can only sleep in the firewood room and the kitchen.
Banniang listened to Shi Niang's words, so she smacked her tongue, "Fortunately, the girls at home are just you and Liuniang, otherwise you have to squeeze like the eldest brother and Shiro...... Your place is too small. ”
Shi Niang smiled and said, "Anyway, I'll get married in a few days, no matter how they toss......" There was a faint lingering smoke between her eyebrows.
Banniang frowned when she saw it and asked, "What's wrong?" Are you not satisfied with this family matter? ”
"Satisfied ......"
Shi Niang glanced up at the maid and mother-in-law who were waiting in the house, and said lightly, "You go out, go to the street to buy a few donkey meat to burn, my eighth sister likes to eat, and then go to the Yuelai Inn to buy a few of their braised pig's trotters, and also buy some pastries from the Ruyi Pastry Workshop in the north of the city......"
The maid and the mother-in-law glanced at each other, and the mother-in-law smiled, "Let Xiaocui buy it, and the old slave will stay and serve the young lady......"
"What? I didn't call the Cao family's descendants before I passed the door? Shi Niang's eyebrows were cold, and her voice was a little angry and mocking.
The smile on the mother-in-law's face froze, and she hurriedly said, "Where did the young lady say, the old slave was afraid that the old slave would leave, and the young lady didn't even have a ...... to serve."
"Our sisters, we don't need outsiders to serve you, you go, go and come back quickly, you want to be hot, don't think about taking the cold one back to do errands. Go ahead. Shi Niang's face was pale, and the mother-in-law wanted to speak several times, but finally smiled stiffly, answered, and withdrew from the room with the maid.
As soon as the two of them came out of the room, Shi Niang was a little aggrieved and beat the kang, and Banniang was even more puzzled, "What's the matter?" Didn't you say you were happy with the family? Could it be ...... Uncle and Uncle also want to treat you like Jiuniang...... No! No, definitely not! We don't even know about Jiuniang's marriage, and you specially notified us to add makeup when you got married......"
Shi Niang sighed, glanced at Banniang and Eleven Niang, hugged Xiao Twelve into her arms, rubbed her chin against the top of Xiao Twelve's hair, and was distracted for a while, "I can't say what's wrong, the matchmaker is the wife of the county master, I have also seen it once through the screen, he is polite and polite, and he can read, he is a good candidate from anywhere, but it is because it is too good...... I always had a sense of unsteadiness. ”
Banniang sighed and quipped, "Do you think he's so good that he doesn't deserve his ......?"
Shi Niang shook her head in confusion, "Maybe." ”
The side branch of the Cao family, not out of five suits, has been favored by the old lady, and has an excellent relationship with the Cao family.
It's no wonder that Shi Niang is uneasy.
Banniang smiled and comforted Shi Niang, "Our Shi Niang is beautiful and understanding, their Cao family married you, and they are the ones who have climbed high!" ”
Shi Niang also followed a few words of persuasion.
The family said goodbye and returned to the inn, but was stopped by Yang Deshi, saying that they would leave the family for a meal, saying that if they didn't stay, Xia Chengping and Zhao would be criticized in the back office, and Old Man Xia and Old Lady Qiao also opened their mouths to keep people.
Luo didn't want to stay to see their faces, and Xia Chenghe didn't want to stay, so he resolutely refused and left with his family.
Old Man Xia was angry, and Old Lady Qiao scolded and scolded for a long time.
The next day, Xia Chenghe and Luo went to visit the Sheng family.
Mrs. Sheng personally greeted her at the second gate, picked up Luo's and Eleventh Niang, Eight Niang and Xiao Twelve into the inner courtyard to talk, praised Luo's good fortune, and handed a purse to the three sisters.
Roche also prepared purses with a brother and a sister of the Sheng family.
The two children met each other, and Miss Sheng took the three sisters to the boudoir to play.
Because the old lady of the Sheng family was not there, the old lady of the Sheng family personally accompanied Xia Chenghe and said a few words.
The two families had a lively meal, and the Xia family and his wife turned back to the inn.
The old lady of the Sheng family said to his daughter-in-law in private, "Both of them look like they are generous people, and they also have some capital in the family, but the family background is thinner, not an official body, and there is no brother in the family to support it, and if we don't get the help of the Yue family in the future, we will go very hard......"
And he said, "However, it is better than your maiden sister...... It's so much better. ”
Mrs. Sheng blushed and was reprimanded by the old lady of the Sheng family, but she still spoke for her daughter-in-law, "Dad, marry a wife and marry a virtuous person, Sanniang has a gentle temperament, is sensible and filial, and has a good family...... Isn't it much better than those official daughters who take their chins to see people? ”
Speaking of the great-grandson in Sanniang's belly, the wrinkled face of the old lady of the Sheng family seemed to be cloudy and clear, and she was full of smiles, "In two months, the child will be stable, and we will go to the capital ......"
muttered again, "The son is all on the list, I will definitely not be able to come back for a few years, I still have a few years to live, it is better to move to the capital and tease Sun ......"
The old lady of the Sheng family naturally did not mix these things, and came back to tell Master Sheng, and asked Master Sheng to discuss with the old lady of the Sheng family.
On the third day, the county government came to invite, and the family went to the county government's back house, but it was Zhao who belittled the third and fifth rooms in front of the female dependents of the county government, and introduced one of them to make a living by striking iron, and the other opened a shop to live, which was naturally ignored by many people.
Eleven Niang was angry.
From the fourth day, early in the morning, I called the family out to go shopping, play, and took the family to a temple not far from Cangtong Town to make incense.
Leave early and return late every day, this
After a few days of going out and returning late, it came to the twenty-seventh day of May.
This time, whatever to say, Luo didn't go out, "Ming'er is Shi Niang's wedding day, my mother has to go and see if there is anything she can help with...... Your eldest aunt tossed it again and tomorrow, and we will go back to Qingshui, and she won't be able to toss us. ”
Zhao naturally sneered, "Our busy feet don't touch the ground, the third brother and sister and the fifth brother and sister are good, they are not in the inn every day, and I still think you don't plan to come......"
"I saw that my sister-in-law was surprisingly good with the ladies of the county government, and I didn't want us to help my sister-in-law, why? Didn't they come to help my sister-in-law? Roche glanced at Zhao and mocked back in her tone.
Zhao's face immediately changed, and he glared at Luo, "You ......"
"What about Shi Niang? Fifth brother and sister, let's go see the children first and add makeup. Luo turned his head and smiled and went to the Ten Niang House with Li.
Roche and Li sent all golden hairpins, one made the appearance of a phoenix spreading its wings, the other is Danfeng Chaoyang, spitting a pearl in his mouth, the two hairpins are equally atmospheric, and the start is heavy, pressing the bottom of the box or changing the crushed flowers are practical.
Shi Niang liked it very much, and thanked Luo and Li.
Luo Shi quietly stuffed the makeup sent by Fang's family, and Shi Niang was very moved, "I didn't even give makeup to Sister Yao's marriage ......"
Zhao came in, and Shi Niang hurriedly took the things into her sleeve.
Zhao looked at the golden hairpin sent by Luo, frowned, and was very dissatisfied, "The third family, I heard that you prepared a big gift for Yao Niang, what's the matter?" Brothers are not as good as cousins separated by a floor? You give us a golden hairpin as makeup, and you send it to Huazi? ”
"Mother! I like the hairpin given by the third aunt! Shi Niang spoke for Luo, and was glared at by Zhao fiercely.
Shi Niang looked at Luo with guilt, Luo smiled and patted her hand, and asked Zhao, "Her aunt, I added makeup for the sake of Shi Niang's goodness, and it has nothing to do with your husband and wife!" What's more, if you really talk about it, Erniang and Sanniang got married, and Fang's sister-in-law added makeup in the past, what did you give her aunt? ”
Zhao choked, "What about Shi Niang, what are you talking about Erniang, Sanniang?" They can marry Shi Niang......"
"My third brother-in-law is the emperor's hand-picked role model!" Banniang snorted on the side.
Zhao's face was even worse, he glanced at Banniang fiercely, and turned his head to glare at Luo, "I think you have a grudge, and you can't see that Shi Niang has a good family affair and comes to make ......trouble."
Shi Niang couldn't listen to it, and shouted loudly, "Mother! "The more you talk, the more chaotic it becomes, it's my mother herself who wants to make a scene, right?!
Zhao was startled, "You kid, what are you screaming, you scared my mother." ”
"What nonsense are you talking about, there are a lot of guests outside, you go and greet the guests......" Shi Niang pushed Zhao out of the room, and Zhao slapped the door angrily, "You girl, how do you turn your elbow out?" ”
Shi Niang apologized to Luo and Li, "My mother ...... her"
Luo stopped Shi Niang, "The matter between adults has nothing to do with you, you can be your bride with peace of mind." ”
Shi Niang's face was a little red.
On May 28, the sky was clear.
Li and Sanfang came to the county yahou house early in the morning to help Zhang Luo and receive visitors.
The three sisters of Eleven Niang sent Shi Niang to the room, Shi Niang's eyes were slightly red, a little swollen, and she was crying at a glance......
The auspicious time arrives, the firecrackers go off, and the sedan chair arrives.
In a burst of firecrackers, Shi Niang said goodbye to Xia Chengping and Zhao, and was carried on the sedan chair by Shiro with tears in her eyes.
Xia Chengping ordered ten tables of wine and food in the best restaurant in the town for Shi Niang's marriage to entertain today's guests.
By the time the guests were sent away, it was already dark and it was time for dinner.
Xia Chenghe and Luo said goodbye to Old Man Xia and Old Lady Qiao, and were about to leave, but they were stopped by Yang Deshi, saying that they had prepared dinner, and they had been busy all day, and it was not too late to leave after eating.
Xia Chenghe refused, and the old man Xia waved his hand to let them go, but as soon as the family walked into the courtyard, the county master came over in person, saying that he heard that Sheng Bangyan's foreign family was here, and they would meet and have a meal together.
Xia Chengping felt very uncomfortable, and had to persuade Xia Chenghe with a smile on his face, Xia Chenghe didn't want his son-in-law's reputation to be ruined, so he agreed.
Xia Chengping diligently asked Yang Deshi to book two tables and sit down for men and women.
During the banquet, Mrs. County Master kept talking to Luo, and it was nothing more than that Shi Niang, who was in a big house, married the son of their county grandfather's family, and the two families were related, and they also asked about the relatives of Ba Niang and Eleven Niang, and it seemed that they had plans to talk to the two of them.
Luo was frightened into a cold sweat, thinking that it would be better to remarry the child when he was older.
The county magistrate's wife smiled, "That's okay, I have a good one here, I'll help a few nieces keep the ...... first."
Zhao Shi saw a burst of anger, but not only could she not get angry in front of the county princess's wife, but also pretended to be close to the third room, and she almost vomited blood.
Banniang and Eleventh Niang pretended to be their daughter's house, only bowed their heads to eat vegetables, and listened to a few women's greetings with their ears pricked up, which was very boring.
When she was full, Banniang left openly on the grounds of taking Xiao Twelve to the clean room.
After half a minute, Eleven Niang also found a reason to go to the clean room and went out of the living room, to find Banniang and Xiao Twelve, but only found Xiao Twelve lying on the stone table in a gazebo, and Banniang was nowhere to be found.
Eleven Niang hugged Xiao Twelve all the way forward, and asked several maids in the yard of the county master, but they all said that they didn't see Banniang.
Eleven Niang had a bad premonition inexplicably.
"Who's in the shadows? Come out! ”
Since Eleven Niang received the order from the head of Fengyuemen, and sent the design of the arrow crossbow and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, the voices against her in Fengyuemen gradually disappeared.
Heisha also specially sent a few people to be placed next to Eleven Niang and Eleven Niang's family to ensure their safety.
Eleven Niang's voice fell, and a delicate woman dressed in black appeared not far away, "Eleven girl." ”
"Where's the eight girls?" Eleven
Child? Eleven Niang asked lightly.
The woman clenched her fists, "Eleven girls give her subordinates a moment of effort." ”
Eleven Niang nodded.
The woman flew in a flash, hid in the back house, and reappeared after a while, replying, "The eighth girl was helped to the room by a maid to rest......"
Eleven Niang sighed, "It's okay, you can go." ”
The woman pointed the way and dodged into the shadows.
When Eleven Niang was holding Xiao Twelve ten meters away from the room, Yang Deshi came out of nowhere, looked left and right, and walked towards the room.
There was a knock on the door.
The door opened, and a charming-looking woman with a maid's head poked her head out, saw that it was Yang Deshi, chanted the dead ghost, and fell into Yang Deshi's arms like a boneless.
"What about people?" Yang Deshi touched the woman's body and said with a lewd smile.
The woman called out twice, and bowed her mouth into the house, "Hehuan San, I spent five taels of silver to get it, and I promise her to hold a piece of wood as a bridegroom......
Yang Deshi laughed, rubbed his big hand on the woman's body, and used the moonlight to ** with the woman at the door.
"Haha...... Xia Shiyi, aren't you amazing? Fucking fuck you today! Let you abolish Lao Tzu's hand, let you threaten Lao Tzu, and let you not take Lao Tzu in your eyes......"
"Ouch, dead ghost, you ...... lightly"
The low groans and roars of men and women echoed in the crickets, and the words penetrated into the ears of Eleven Niang, who was hidden in the shadows ten meters away.
She has a smile on her face, bright and bright, but her eyes are clearly full of murder!
No wonder she was mentioned repeatedly in the letter, no wonder Yang Deshi stayed enthusiastically three times and twice, it turned out to be for such a purpose!
Destroy her and avenge yourself!
But he didn't reflect at all, if she hadn't made a move, his life would have been taken away by Tianle Casino!
No wonder some people say that if God lets a person die, there is always a reason for him to die!
The little twelve in her arms showed signs of waking up, and Eleven Niang reached out and clicked on her sleeping hole, held her firmly in her arms, raised her feet, and walked to the room step by step.
In the room, Yang Deshi's scolding voice came, "Little slut, are you lying to Lao Tzu?" Where is this Xia Eleven, this is Xia Ba! ”
He also said, "Xia Ba is Xia Ba, look at this eyebrow is also beautiful, and the most important thing is that it is a virgin......"
"Ahh Who are you? ”
"The one who came to take your dog's life!"
Eleven Niang stood against the light, her long hair was flying in the wind, her dress was hunting, and a murderous tiger roared out.
