Chapter 147: Friends (Part II)
Although Mrs. Tai handed over the reception of Mrs. Lin to her, after all, the third lady presided over the feed. When Eleven Niang came out of Mrs. Tai, she went to Mrs. San.
She was packing up with Qiu Aya: "...... This official kiln plum bottle is a thing in the public, forty-five taels one, this pair is worth ninety taels, and this bowl is Ji Hong, and money can't buy it. You write them all down, and when the time comes, you go to the temple fair of Huguo Temple and buy similar things and come back, break them and pile them together, and wipe out the account of the public middle school. ”
If something is lost, you must be held responsible, and if it is broken, you must see the damaged thing to clear the account.
Qiu Aya nodded and wrote down everything that the third lady ordered.
The little maid came to say that Eleven Niang was here, and the tip of Qiu Aya's pen trembled, and she dropped a lot of ink and spilled the account book.
The third lady glared at her: "Be careful." Don't skip it. ”
Qiu Aya hurriedly got up, and the third lady had already hurriedly walked out.
I heard that it was for Mrs. Lin to arrange a wine feast, so she took care of it: "This is a trivial matter, you can leave it to me!" ”
Eleven Niang got up with a smile and thanked the third lady, went back to her residence, took out the embroidery that had been counted and looked at it, Amber came in and said, "Sister Hui'er has asked clearly!" ”
"It's fast!" Eleven Niang smiled and asked Amber to sit on the kang and talk.
Amber half sat opposite her and said with a smile: "Sister Hui is the eldest granddaughter of the Lin family, and Lin Da* had a difficult birth when she gave birth to her, and she was raised by Mrs. Lin's side. Later, Mrs. Lin gave birth to two little sons in a row, and Mrs. Lin was afraid that Sister Hui would have no one to take care of, so she kept her by her side. Sister Nahui is also angry, and she has been learning literacy with her aunts since she was a child, but she learned better than her aunts. In the past few years, even the "Analects" has been completed, and the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting have also taken on some appearances, so they are more decent than the little sons of the family in front of Marquis Lin and Mrs. Lin. It just so happens that the fifth son of Chen Zixiang, the first assistant of the cabinet and a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University, is fifteen years old this year, looks like a talent, and has a very generous temperament. Lin Da*'s grandmother wanted to climb this family business when she saw it. I sent someone to inquire, who knew that the Chen family had very big rules. Not only can you not be sloppy at all, but even the daughter-in-law of the family has to make shoes and socks like that maid, sewing clothes and ironing. Lin Da* couldn't bear her daughter, so she broke off this thought. Who knew that Mrs. Lin looked at the five sons of the Chen family and felt good, and said that the Chen family is a family of scholars, paying attention to etiquette and passing on the generations, no more than the princess, no one can look carefully. I invited my aunt from the needlework bureau to teach Sister Hui how to needlework. Who knew that Sister Hui'er was better at reading than that man, but she was clumsy when she became a female celebrity, and she couldn't succeed in changing four or five masters. Mrs. Lin was in a hurry, and when she met you that day, she hurriedly sent someone over. ”
Eleven Niang couldn't help but think of Sister Zhen'er.
This Sister Hui is only one year older than Sister Zhen'er, and Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin have already begun to give her son-in-law, and no one seems to have mentioned Sister Zhen'er's matter at all. She has always believed that opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Sister Zhen is obviously not prepared...... However, she seems to be Sister Zhen's mother, so she can be the master of this family!
After thinking about it, she asked Amber: "Who did you listen to about Sister Hui'er?" ”
"Lin Da*'s personal mother and Li Quan's daughter-in-law, who is in charge of the carriage and horses in our house, are fine. The two families are still in-laws! said that Lin Da * Grandma was worried about this matter, and personally supervised there every day, and once said that Sister Hui was annoyed, and in front of Da * Grandma, she threw the embroidery shed to the ground, which made Lin Da * Milk angry. ”
Eleven Niang couldn't help but sweat.
I don't know why, I just think about the little boy next door in my previous life who didn't want to learn the violin and threw the violin down from the sixteenth floor......
A little maid came: "Mr. Bai sent someone to bring pearls to his wife." ”
"So fast!" Eleven Niang let people in.
It was a young guy who looked seven or eight years old, white and clean, with very beautiful eyebrows.
Although he is young and young, his demeanor is not arrogant or humble, and he looks very cultivated.
"Mr. Bai asked the little lady to go back and forth. And he said, The pearl is worth sixteen taels of silver, and none of them is fake. There are five of them of the same size, and if you can pick them out to make something like a beaded flower, they can be sold for at least twenty-five or six taels of silver. The people of the Silver House had already picked out the five pearls and wrapped them in another way. "He spoke very clearly and in a coherent manner.
Shi Niang looked very fond of it and asked him, "What's your name?" ”
"The villain's name is Xiao Luzi." He said respectfully, "I just entered the mansion on an errand yesterday. Now he runs errands beside the white manager. Madame can tell me whatever she wants. ”
Eleven Niang was surprised.
Unexpectedly, I met the person named Xiao Luzi like this...... was also trained so well by the second lady, I liked it myself, not to mention Xu Lingyi.
She smiled at Xiao Luzi in a complicated mood, asked someone to reward some pastries, and then sent out the door by Qiu Yu. He also instructed Amber to bring a letter and let Liu Yuanrui's family come to visit.
Amber departed. After a while, Xu Lingyi came back.
Seeing that Eleven Niang was playing, she smiled and said, "What is this going to do?" She had just made two children's cloaks two days ago, and she was going to give one each to Wu Niang and Wu Madame.
She smiled: "I want to make a pearl bracelet for Sister Zhen'er." He got up and went to pick up Xu Lingyi's cloak.
Xu Lingyi said "oh", went to change clothes and freshen up, and Eleven Niang put the last point to the end.
Threaded the pearl bracelet with a thin white cable, and then braided a small bat with the excess thin cable, made a live buckle, leaving two short threads, the rope thread is a little hard, like the two tails of bats, and the two bats are a little lively, which is very interesting.
She packed up her things and prepared to give them to Sister Zhen when she went to Mrs. Tai's place for dinner, so that she could wear them out tomorrow to meet guests. Xu Lingyi walked out of the clean room, took it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "This bat is so skillful." ”
Eleven Niang smiled silently. changed the topic: "Master Hou came back so early today!" ”
Xu Lingyi said: "You help me clean up, I'm going to live in Xishan Palace tomorrow for a few days - I don't know when I'll come back!" ”
Eleven Niang was stunned and felt a little uneasy.
"It's almost the New Year, why did you suddenly think of going to Xishan Palace......" She looked at Xu Lingyi, her face full of worry, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"Nothing!" Xu Lingyi's expression was as calm as usual, "You can stay at home with peace of mind." The third sister-in-law is frivolous, and the fifth brother and sister are pregnant, and in the past few days when I am away, you help me take good care of my mother and take good care of several children. ”
And said it was fine!
The ancient law was about joint sitting.
As soon as she thought of this, her face turned white: "Master Hou, I am a woman, and I shouldn't interfere in outside affairs." But you don't give me a word, in case something happens, I don't know the bottom of my heart, let alone prepare in advance. Although there are still the third master and the white manager at home, they are in the outer courtyard after all. ”
Xu Lingyi thought of several things that she had dealt with since she got married...... After hesitating for a moment, he entered the warm pavilion with her.
"Out of my mouth and into your ears, but do not speak to others." His expression was a little solemn, "The fifth prince didn't know what he ate the night before yesterday, and he vomited and vented. The people in the hospital were helpless, and now they are unconscious and unable to sleep. The emperor asked me to accompany the queen and the three princes to the Xishan Palace, and Ouyang Ming, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, accompanied the eldest prince to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors on behalf of the emperor. ”
Eleven Niang's heart palpitated.
The palace is really not peaceful......
Xu Lingyi saw that although Eleven Niang's face was like plain paper, her demeanor was not only not panicked, but more calm than before. While he was pleased, he couldn't help but pity her for her young age and being dragged down by herself. Sighing softly, he touched her head and comforted her, "It's okay." If the emperor completely ignored it, he would not let me and Ouyang Ming accompany the third prince and the eldest prince respectively. You must know that Ouyang Ming has been a guard by the emperor's side since he entered the palace at the age of thirteen, and he is the emperor's most trusted person. There is also the emperor's handwritten metaphor in his hand, which can mobilize the troops of Shanxi, Hebei, and Tianjin. It's going to be fine! ”
Even if the emperor has such thoughts, even if Ouyang Ming and the eldest prince are safe and sound, what kind of situation will the Xu family have without Xu Lingyi...... Eleven Niang only felt panicked when she heard it: "What about you, Master Hou?" She couldn't help but hold on to Xu Lingyi's sleeve.
Xu Lingyi lowered his head, saw the white knuckles, he didn't know why, his heart warmed, and some things that should not be said naturally revealed: "When the first emperor was funeral, the emperor was able to ascend the throne smoothly, and it had nothing to do with the fact that I had been the commander of the Xishan battalion......" paused, and said, "Don't worry, even if I can't command the Northwest Army, I can command the Xishan battalion!" ”
Eleven Niang not only didn't feel relieved when she heard this, but her heart was cold: "The emperor sent you to the ...... of Xishan."
The more she thought about it, the more scared she became.
A person can only be the meat on the puppet and be slaughtered: "Master Hou, you have to think of something else!" Eleven Niang's eyes had a look of fear.
Because of studying law, she has been in contact with some cases in ancient times, such as Fang Xiaoru's fate, which is very tragic!
"Since you have made meritorious contributions, how can the emperor not know about your relationship with the Xishan Battalion. But I sent you to the camp in the West Mountain......"
Xu Lingyi immediately understood what she meant, and couldn't hide her stunned expression.
The little girl in front of her is smarter than she imagined. It seems that you can see the essence of things through the surface of some things. It's like a moldy thing, like now...... and what she said when she watched "The Chronicles of the Nine Domains of the Great Zhou" by her side not long after she got married-made his irritated mood immediately calm. It suddenly occurred to me that she had only been married for less than two months!
It's not just smart, it's a far-sightedness similar to taking one step and seeing three steps.
Suddenly, he was excited.
This is the material of a first-class military division.
Think about it, there is a person like a military advisor by his side to help him manage the backyard, and he will no longer have to worry about the future, and he will no longer have to take care of those messy things himself......... He looked at Eleven Niang's gaze differently.
"Don't worry!" He smiled and said, "If the emperor doubts me, he will either leave none of the people in the Xishan camp to show his favor and see how I react, or transfer all the people who are close to me in the Xishan camp to prevent trouble." The emperor didn't do anything, he changed the guard when it was time to change the guard, and he transferred people when he should have transferred people. As he spoke, his voice was a little solemn, "I know it in my heart." I won't let anything happen to you! ”
