Chapter 545: Questioning (I)

Brother Jin grinned at Mrs. Tai, still holding the uneaten wheat cake in her mouth.

Mrs. Tai didn't care about this, and kissed him twice on the face.

Feeling his grandmother's liking for him, Brother Jin'er smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed.

"Come," Mrs. Tai coaxed him in a long voice, "call me 'grandmother'!" ”

Brother Jin shouted "Grandmother" inarticulately.

Mrs. Tai's eyes crooked with laughter when she heard this. Immediately instructed Mother Du: "Go, bring the red agate beads in my mirror to the sixth young master to wear—that was when I was young, the master of Jining, the presiding officer of Ciyuan Temple, helped to open the light and add it." Take it with our brother and bless him with peace! ”

"Mother, this is too precious!" Eleven Niang hurriedly said, "He's still a child." If you want to reward him, it's not too late to reward him when he's older. ”

Mrs. Tai touched Brother Jin'er, who was sitting in her arms and eating wheat cakes, and said with a smile: "There are big rewards, and small rewards are small." disagreed with Eleven Niang's proposal, and then taught Eleven Niang: "Every day we talk about our brother and don't speak, look, isn't this talking?" I told you a long time ago, don't worry, you don't listen, and urge this child to talk every day. Can you eat hot tofu in this hurry? There is a definite number of everything, and he will naturally speak when it is time to speak. He added, "As the saying goes, if you don't make a sound, it's just a blockbuster." Look at our brother, the opening is a sentence. There are ordinary children. As he spoke, he couldn't help but like it in his heart, and kissed Brother Jin'er's face twice.

Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang had no choice but to laugh on the side. And Brother Jin was eating the cake with relish, and was disturbed by Mrs. Tai like this, so he couldn't help pouting "uh-huh" twice.

Mrs. Tai hurriedly let go: "You eat bread, you eat bread, grandmother doesn't quarrel with you." Then he couldn't help but ask, "Is this cake made of Xinmai delicious?" ”

Brother Jin nodded again and again.

Mrs. Tai instructed the jade plate: "Go, give the fourth lady the small half bag of new wheat rewarded in the palace." ”

The jade plate hurriedly left.

There are still five ladies living in the house.

As soon as Eleven Niang wanted to excuse herself, Mother Du smiled and walked in with a small box carved from purple purlin.

Mrs. Tai hurriedly said: "Give it to me!" Then he took out the beads the size of a pigeon's egg with his own hands.

It's big on your hand, but it's small when you hang it around your neck.

Mrs. Tai looked at it and instructed Mother Du: "Bring my carved chain to the sixth young master to hang on." ”

Mother Du turned around and went to get a red gold chain. The chain was as thick as a child's thumb, delicately carved with scales, and shimmered like a lake in the breezy light of the room.

Eleven Niang suddenly remembered the chain that tied the dog......

She hurriedly said: "Mother, why don't I give Brother Jin a line?" Politely refused.

Mrs. Tai took the chain in her hand and thought about it, and said, "It's okay, this chain is carved with a pattern, and it's a bit prickly." lest we be shackled by the necks of our brothers. You tie him a beautiful string, and then hang him up with this red agate bracelet. ”

Eleven Niang hurriedly responded "yes".

Mrs. Tai casually put the chain in the red sandalwood carved box containing the red agate bracelet - although the chain was not used, it was also rewarded to Brother Jin.

"Mother!" At this moment, even Xu Lingyi felt that the reward was too heavy, "Brother Jin is at the age of being active." Be careful that he loses it. ”

"Nonsense." Mrs. Tai said, "How could the things in the house be lost?" What are the mothers and maids in his house doing......

When Mrs. Tai and Xu Lingyi were talking, Brother Jin was already staring at the golden chain lying in the red sandalwood box covered with red gumere.

He threw the wheat cake in his hand on the kang and grabbed the chain with a handful.

The chain slipped through the opening of the box and slipped into Brother Jin'er's hand.

There was a faint rustling sound in the room.

Mrs. Tai couldn't help but bow her head.

Brother Jin was already there pulling at the gold chain.

Mrs. Tai laughed: "This can't be, this can't be!" ”

Brother Jin listened and looked up at Mrs. Tai, her eyes flickered, very cute.

Mrs. Tai asked the jade plate to twist the veil, and while wiping Brother Jin'er's hands, she smiled and said, "Be careful to tear it off, our Brother Jin won't have to wear it!" ”

Brother Jin struggled to get up from Mrs. Tai's arms, and put the gold chain around Mrs. Tai's neck.

Mrs. Tai was stunned for a moment, and a smile immediately surged from her eyes to her face.

"Ouch! My dear brother. The old man hugged his grandson, "This is for grandmother!" ”

Brother Jin looked at Mrs. Tai with a smile.

"See!" Mrs. Tai looked back at Xu Lingyi, "Our brother Jin is not the kind of child who doesn't know the height of the sky when he is petted. What do you have to worry about. Well, let's not talk about this anymore. Mother Du, you put away the things for the sixth young master. ”

Xu Lingyi only bowed her head and responded "yes", and Eleven Niang could only smile bitterly.

The fifth lady brought Sister Xin and Brother Xu to say hello, and at a glance she saw the box on the kang table.

As soon as she rolled her eyes, she pulled Mrs. Tai's sleeve and sprinkled coquettishly: "What good things do you give to Brother Jin'er, we want Brother Xu'er too!" ”

"You coveted basket." Mrs. Tai smiled and twisted the fifth lady's ear, "Don't worry, when Brother Xu'er speaks, there will be the same." ”

"Brother Jin has spoken!" The fifth lady was full of surprise, "Congratulations to the fourth brother, congratulations to the fourth sister-in-law." Then he looked at Brother Jin with a smile, "Brother Jin, do you know who I am?" I'm your fifth aunt! ”

Eleven Niang told Brother Jin: "Call Aunt Five." ”

"Aunt Five!" Brother Jin'er's voice was crisp and loud.

The fifth lady was amazed when she heard this: "This kid is really full of Zhongqi!" ”

"Not really!" Mrs. Tai has an honorable appearance, "I remember that when the fourth child was young, he was not as tall as his brother......"

"That's one generation stronger than the next!" The fifth lady looked at Xu Lingyi and smiled.

Everyone laughed. The scene was very lively, until Manager Bai asked Xu Lingyi to go to the outer courtyard for something, and everyone dispersed.

Mother Shi reminded the fifth lady in a low voice: "Your words came too quickly. asked for something in front of the fourth lady like this, what did the fourth lady think in her heart. ”

The fifth lady disagreed: "The fourth sister-in-law is also honest." I made it so clear to her that she didn't want to be weird with me. I don't want to hide and feel bad at home alone. He laughed.

Mother Shi saw that what she said made sense. Nodding slightly, he didn't say anything more, and asked the maid to serve the fifth lady to change her clothes.

The autumn rain came to deliver fresh wheat.

"The palace rewarded Mrs. Tai with a bag, and our wife got a little, and I brought these over." To put it ambiguously. But she couldn't hide the fifth lady's essence, and when Shi's mother thanked her, rewarded her, and sent Qiu Yu out, she pouted: "If it's Mrs. Tai's reward, I will send my own jade version over...... Count her as a man! As he spoke, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, and he instructed Mother Shi, "Take out the lotus leaves that dried last summer, soak them and put them in the steamer to make lotus leaf wheat cakes, and send some to Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Fourth." ”

Shi's mother said "yes" and went down to make lotus leaf wheat cakes.

Eleven Niang also made lotus leaf wheat cakes. In addition to sending some to Mrs. Tai, I also sent some to the Bowstring Hutong and Mitsui Hutong. Several children also ate with relish. Xu Sijie even said: "Mother, I will help you dry lotus leaves this summer!" ”

Xu Siyu came up with an idea: "It's also delicious to add some elm money in it!" ”

"Okay!" Shi Niang nodded with a smile, compared the colorful bat on Brother Jin'er's chest twice, and said, "When the time comes, we will all keep a little, and make some lotus leaf wheat cakes and elm money wheat cakes!" ”

Xu Sizhen couldn't interject and asked Eleven Niang: "What is Mother doing?" Why did you call the sixth brother? ”

For aesthetic considerations, Eleven Niang decided to add a small shoulder to Brother Jin'er in the brocade robe, and then hung the red agate bracelet on the left placket.

"Isn't it good?" She asked Xu Sizhen.

Emerald green shoulders, white jade buttons, red agate, and colorful yarns. Xu Si nodded again and again: "Good-looking!" ”

"It also looks good with other jade ornaments." Eleven Niang smiled, "Or, I'll give you each a line, right?" ”

Xu Siyu felt that he was already an adult, so naturally he was not in this case, and Xu Sizhen knew that Eleven Niang was not in good health, and his father did not let his mother do needlework these days, only Xu Siyu was busy saying: "Okay, good!" My mother called me one too. During the Chinese New Year, my grandmother rewarded me with a jade plaque, and I had a ginger shoulder, which happened to be decorated with the jade plaque. ”

If there is anyone among these children who Eleven Niang likes the most, it is Xu Sijie. Whatever she says, Xu Sijie can always respond to her, and the answer resonates with her. Just like now, he immediately followed Eleven Niang's idea to match more outstanding clothes.

Eleven Niang smiled: "You started to learn to paint with Mr. Zhao?" ”

"Hmm!" Xu Sijie smiled, "Just start to strangle the line. ”

"Help me draw two patterns in a few days."

"Okay!" Xu Sijie was very happy, that kind of happiness came out of his heart, and he was very sincere, "What kind of tricks does my mother want to draw?" If I can't draw well, I'll ask Mr. Zhao to help me paint at that time. ”

"That's not going to happen." Shi Niang smiled, "It's a very simple thing, if you can't draw it well, I'll teach you when the time comes." ”

Xu Sijie immediately responded and ran to her: "Mother, when will you start painting?" ”

Seeing that he was full of interest, Eleven Niang thought about it and said, "The day after tomorrow, you will rest." Or the day after tomorrow? ”

"Tomorrow will be rested." Xu Si admonished, "Mr. Zhao has a friend who is going to take the palace exam, and Mr. Zhao is going to see him off." ”

Eleven Niang asked Xu Siyu: "Do you want to send Uncle Fang tomorrow?" Would I like to send you a car? ”

Xu Siyu thought for a while and said with a smile: "Mother sent a car to send me to Mitsui Hutong!" My eldest brother and I will go to see off Brother Fang again. "It's not as polite as it used to be.

Eleven Niang let Qiu Yu take the right cards to arrange for the outer court.

Zhu Xiang is back.

"Everything has been delivered. My uncle's aunt said thank you for my aunt's concern. Let me bring some hand-made sachets over for the young masters to play with. "What happened to Mitsui Hutong, but there was no sound.

Eleven Niang didn't ask, and only asked softly when Zhu Xiang served her to freshen up in the evening: "What happened to Mitsui Hutong?" ”

Zhu Xiang lowered her voice: "Madam, I saw a carriage parked upside down, it seems to be the third lady's." Grandma only thanked me for sending something, and said nothing else! ”
