Coming out of Mrs. Tai's house, Eleven Niang and the third lady went out together: "Third sister-in-law, the matter of evening incense, you still have to be discussed!" ”

The third lady was waiting for Eleven Niang to say this. smiled: "I don't know what the fourth brother and sister have in mind?" ”

Eleven Niang smiled: "What the third sister-in-law said makes sense. This matter is in front of my mother, you are the head of the family, even if you have no face, she was a proud person in front of my eldest sister, and it is a joke. The third sister-in-law is the person in charge, she broke the rules of the family, and not punishing is not enough to serve the public, but if the punishment is too harsh, I am afraid that there will be so many troubled people who will come out and say something like 'bullying the evening fragrance and no one', but it will ruin the third sister-in-law's good name. I just thought about it, and I felt that the third sister-in-law was embarrassed and didn't know what to do, so I came to discuss the third sister-in-law. Let's see if there's any way to get this done. The third sister-in-law knows that her mother has always been generous to people, and it is not good if there are any rumors and rumors! ”

The third lady sneered in her heart when she heard this.

Where is this to intercede, this is clearly a threat!

But she thought about the virtue of the evening fragrance - even if she let it go this time, sooner or later there will be a next time. She looked at Eleven Niang with a smile: "Since it is the fourth brother and sister who intercede for her, I have to give this face." However, if I forget it like this, as the fourth brother and sister said, how to serve the public in the future. I see that I still keep her errand for her, and she will be punished for three months. What do the four siblings think? ”

Eleven Niang breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that this matter has been revealed!

She smiled and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law." I reprimanded her severely. Let her go and apologize to you early tomorrow morning. ”

"Apologize and don't have to!" A trace of disdain flashed in the third lady's eyes, "Just let her be on an errand!" ”

Eleven Niang smiled: "She has learned such a lesson, and she will definitely be on an errand in the future." ”

The two stood there and exchanged a few words.

A little maid ran over from the opposite verandah.

Eleven Niang was stunned.

It seems to be the little maid who was looking for Wei Zi just now!

She was stunned for a moment, and the third lady smiled and said, "...... lest the third master come back and not see anyone. I'll go back first. ”

Eleven Niang smiled and broke up with the third lady.

Amber couldn't help but be stunned: "I don't know if that night fragrance knows about Madame's embarrassment?" Ask for someone like this! ”

"The human heart is not enough, and the snake swallows the elephant." Eleven Niang said indifferently, "She is used to being in front of the eldest sister." No matter how good I am to her, I am afraid that it will be difficult to win her heart. ”

Amber saw that Eleven Niang was not interested, and persuaded with a smile: "You still have us in Hengxi!" ”

Eleven Niang laughed and asked Wan Erxian: "I heard that I am sixteen years old this year, and I am very clever!" ”

Amber nodded: "It's much more clever than Wanda, and when you meet people, you call 'sister'." ”

The two of them said as they entered the courtyard.

A little maid greeted her.

Eleven Niang asked, "Is Master Hou back?" ”

"Master Hou hasn't come back yet!" The little maid hurriedly took the lantern in Amber's hand and led the way.

Haven't come back at this time?

Eleven Niang couldn't help but look up at the snow.

When they entered the house, the maids had received the letter and came forward to serve.

Eleven Niang asked Fangxi: "Aunt Wen can send someone to talk about it!" ”

"Go." Fangxi said, "I'll report the letter." ”

Eleven Niang asked Shuangyu to send a message to Wanxiang: "...... I will go to the third lady early tomorrow morning to accompany the guilt. The monthly penalty of three months is still working as an errand in the kitchen of the inner courtyard. ”

Shuangyu responded and left.

Binju brought Qiu Yu and Yanrong to serve her to freshen up, and talked about Qiao Lian's room: "...... I only ate a bowl of porridge today. ”

Eleven Niang thought of what Mother Tao said to herself yesterday, "Hou Ye spent the night at Aunt Wen's".

I know it myself, not to mention Qiao Lian's room where I live in the front and back yards with Aunt Wen.

Speaking of which, the place where she lives is really bad.

In front is Aunt Wen, and in the back is Aunt Qin...... Watching Xu Lingyi go in and out, it is estimated that he feels even more uncomfortable.

She couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry." She'll be all right in two days. ”

Binju is a little girl's family, of course she doesn't know the mystery of this, and muttered: "I don't think she's hungry." ”

In the winter, the cold wind is raging outside, and the house is as warm as spring, and then soak in a flower bath with a pine barrel, and the paradise on earth is nothing more than that.

Eleven Niang closed her eyes comfortably and gossiped with Binju: "It looks like she has eaten snacks!" ”

"How do you know?" Binju said in surprise, "I still listened to the little bench today." ”

It's not really going to die, who is willing to starve themselves?

"Little bench?" Eleven Niang smiled, "The little maid in Aunt Qiao's house? ”

"It's not." Binju said, "It's the granddaughter of Lu Ma ** in the small kitchen of the East Courtyard." I took a piece of silk candy to eat, I looked strange, this nest of silk candy is two taels of silver a pack, where did she come from? Just scare her, and she will say everything! ”

Eleven Niang laughed. Open your eyes and lie down by the barrel: "How big is the small bench?" What did they say? ”

"Seven years old." Binju's expression was a little twisted, "I said that I lost a bag of silk candy in the house." Asked if she stole it. She was so frightened that she cried, saying that it was given by the embroidery in Aunt Qiao's house. I asked her again why she was given candy. She said that Xiu Lu asked her grandmother to make corn pea cake and pea cake. I thought about it for a long time. You are already generous to others, and the small kitchen in the east courtyard was originally set up for the convenience of several aunts. Not to mention that a few aunts want to eat some pastries, even if we maids and mothers-in-law want to eat, there is no reason not to do it. So why do you embroider such an expensive nest candy? It happened that Mrs. Lu heard the child crying and came out to see it, and she understood everything - it turned out that Aunt Qiao kept saying that the food was not appetizing, so she asked Mrs. Lu to help make pastries. He also said that he was afraid that you would know that she was squeamish, so he specially instructed Mrs. Lu not to tell anyone. said, said angrily, "That Mrs. Lu is too, and she doesn't look at who is in charge of this house, so she really doesn't say it if she doesn't say it." ”

Eleven Niang smiled: "You taught her a lesson? ”

"That's not it!" Binju said a little deflated, "I don't know what you mean, so I'll put up with it!" ”

Eleven Niang nodded.

She has a small kitchen here to take care of her, and a small kitchen in the east courtyard to take care of the three aunts. Sometimes the maid and mother-in-law want to boil hot water to wash their hair or something, or cook something to eat, but they don't dare to go to her small kitchen, so they go to the small kitchen in the east courtyard, and Eleven Niang does not stop her. It seems that Qiao Lianfang has taken advantage of this loophole.

She got up and dressed, casually rolled up, asked Binju to call Amber in, and then told her about helping Aunt Qiao make pastries in the kitchen: "...... There should be a little maid on an errand in the small kitchen in the east courtyard, right? If we can use it, we will use it, and if we can't use it, we will replace it with our own people. I want to know what's going on over there. ”

Amber's face changed slightly when she heard this: "Madame, don't worry! It will be done in two days. ”

Eleven Niang nodded, and praised Binju again: "Thanks to your carefulness." Otherwise, this matter is really negligent. ”

Binju's face was slightly red, and he waved his hand again and again: "No, no, I also found it by accident." ”

As he was talking, a little maid came in and said, "Master Hou is back!" ”

"Did you come this way, or did you go to the East Courtyard?"

The little maid's voice lowered: "I went to the East Courtyard......"

That's good. No need to re-groom.

Eleven Niang breathed a sigh of relief and sent Amber and Binju to rest.

Early the next morning, I called Tao's mother to come and told her that the third lady was going to change the maid for Xu Siqin and Xu Siyu: "...... According to the rules of the house, shouldn't it be changed? ”

Tao's mother calculated and said, "It stands to reason that it should be released." ”

Could it be that I am too careful?

Eleven Niang is always a little unsteady in her heart. Or instructed Tao's mother: "We don't know much about the affairs of the outer courtyard, so it's better to inquire?" He also discussed with her about changing Xu Siyu's maid, "I have to find a few honest and reliable!" ”

Tao's mother responded.

Aunt Qin and Aunt Wen came to say hello.

As usual, Aunt Wen immediately noticed that Eleven Niang was wearing a pair of brand-new redbud red gold stud earrings, and then praised them exaggeratedly.

Eleven Niang smiled and dealt with her a few words, leaving Aunt Qin to speak.

This has never been the case.

Aunt Qin's expression was a little panicked.

Eleven Niang asked the maid to bring her a small pestle, and then talked to her about changing the maid for Xu Siyu.

Aunt Qin was very stunned.

“…… Brother Yu is the eldest son in our house, and he will lead the younger brother in the future. and dwelling in the outer court, we are beyond the reach of the whip. You can't let people take it down. Eleven Niang said, "As soon as the third lady mentioned it, Mrs. Tai agreed." I'm having a headache about the maid. You can also take a look, see if there is any honest duty, and when the time comes, send it to Brother Yu to serve. ”

After her words fell for a long time, Aunt Qin came back to her senses, and said with a grateful face: "Madam has thought it very carefully. It's just that I'm stupid, I don't know anyone, and I can't really help with the maid's business. As he spoke, he stood up uneasily, "I can't share my worries for my wife......

Anyway, I've already said hello!

Eleven Niang smiled and said a few words to her, and then sent Aunt Qin to retreat.

Although she has no hostility towards the three aunts, who dares to guarantee that the three aunts have no thoughts about her!

Eleven Niang immediately called Amber: "Immediately send someone for me to keep an eye on Aunt Qin, to see who she has been dealing with these days?" ”

The people serving her baby son are about to change, so she doesn't believe that Aunt Qin will do nothing......

Amber departed.

The news she got made Eleven Niang silent for a long time - Aunt Qin sent a little maid to send a letter to the second lady who was far away in the Xishan Courtyard.

"What should I do?" Amber asked Eleven Niang anxiously.

"Naturally, it's static braking." Eleven Niang smiled slightly, "Aunt Qin just wrote a letter to the second lady. Are we going to jump out and say that the second lady is meddling in the second young master's affairs? ”

Amber nodded, revealing a resolute expression: "I'll let people stare at the West Mountain." ”

It's really teachable.

Eleven Niang looked at Amber with a satisfied smile.

Xu Lingyi is back.

Eleven Niang greeted him out.

His expression was calm, and he couldn't see any difference from usual.

Eleven Niang smiled and welcomed Xu Lingyi to the big kang near the window in the west room and sat down, made tea with her own hands and brought it over.

"Don't you have to patrol the city today?"

Meaning to ask him if all the things are done?

Xu Lingyi said "um", didn't talk much, gently brushed the tender leaves floating on the surface of the tea cup with the tea lid, and said, "Did my mother say anything?" ”

He went to the morning court very early every day, and only went to greet Mrs. Tai in the evening.

"I heard that you are going to patrol the city, and I feel sorry for your hard work." Eleven Niang knew that Xu Lingyi was worried about her mother, so she told Xu Lingyi a little about the situation that night, and specially said that the third lady wanted to change the maids for Xu Siqin and Xu Siyu. Of course, he told Xu Lingyi that he wanted to choose an honest maid for Xu Siyu, and then the maid was selected and given a look to Mrs. Tai.

Xu Lingyi listened and fell into deep thought: "Want to change the maid?" ”
