Chapter 246: Undercurrent (Part II)
Mother Tao slowly knelt in front of Eleven Niang.
She looked a little blank: "It's all my fault. Madame should punish me whatever she wants. I beg you to leave me a decent place in front of my brother. I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life! His lips pursed tightly.
"Mom still knows how to be decent." Eleven Niang sat like a mountain and looked at Tao's mother: "This matter has been revealed." Mommy, go down and rest! β
Mother Tao bowed and retreated.
Eleven Niang sighed faintly.
She really wanted to have fun with these guests and hosts left by Yuan Niang, and smoothly handed over this responsibility to her brother's daughter-in-law. But sometimes, things always do what they want.
In the afternoon of the next day, Wu Niang came.
Eleven Niang listened to the little maid's advice and told Amber: "Your eyes are brighter." If she pulls me into doing business with her again, you'll find an excuse to call me out. β
Amber forced a smile and nodded: "Madame, don't worry, I can save it." β
Eleven Niang went out to meet Wu Niang.
"Fifth Sister hasn't come to me for some days. If there is anything, the mothers can bring a letter, why did they come in person. I looked at her tall belly again, and thought to myself, it can't be twins!
"It's okay, it's okay." Wu Niang smiled, "Your brother-in-law, it's the first time I've been a father, and I'm so nervous." I was born for three or four months, so I was given a stable wife at home. The woman said, let me move around more. Your brother-in-law won't let me do needlework, this Baiyun Temple, tomorrow Huguo Temple, like a marquee, I'm dizzy these days. No, today he said that he was going to Huguo Temple, and he said that he was in Huguo Temple when he first saw me......" said, covering his sleeves and smiling, half cheerful and half shy between his eyebrows.
Eleven Niang is not the kind of person who spoils the scenery. immediately smiled: "The fifth brother-in-law treats the fifth sister so well!" β
"Oops, what's good!" Wu Niangjiao said angrily, "How can I really be like what he said, walking around every day without caring about home." No, I saw that the weather was good today, so I excused myself from walking on my feet, and stopped by you - I remember that you have a lot of tricks in your hands, and I want to make a pair of knee pads for your brother-in-law. β
"The fifth sister is really good to the fifth brother-in-law!" Eleven Niang helped her into the house with a smile, placed her on the kang and sat down, and told the little maid to call Binju: "...... said that the fifth aunt's wife was here, and she wanted to bring the rattan flute with the pattern. β
The little maid answered the call and left.
Amber led the little maid to personally serve refreshments to Wu Niang.
Wu Niang looked at Amber: "This girl, since she followed you, she has become more and more handsome." Isn't the food in this Xu Mansion particularly nourishing? β
"The fifth aunt's wife praised it." Amber smiled in response, but there was a bit of generosity that was neither humble nor arrogant.
Wu Niang looked at it and nodded, gossiping with Eleven Niang: "I heard that Holly is matched, but the date is set?" β
"Nope." Eleven Niang said, "Haven't you been busy with the tenth sister's side these days?" I delayed the matter. β
"What's not to delay here. Just let Tao's mother help with it. β
"In the end, I am the first person in the house to marry, and I must be more decent than others. However, the dowry and the like have already been handled by Tao's mother. β
The two said a few words, Binju came in with a pattern, everyone picked and chose for a while, Wu Niang selected a few auspicious looks such as "step by step" and "Lianzhong Sanyuan", and then looked at Eleven Niang: "Our sisters don't need so many people to wait." Let them play! It's also a reward from me for them. β
Eleven Niang knew that she was going to play, so she sighed helplessly in her heart and sent the servants around her to retreat.
Wu Niang put her elbow on the kang table, leaned over and said, "What? I heard that your Aunt Qiao in the house has it? His voice was low, as if it were some great secret.
Eleven Niang endured it so that she didn't frown: "How did the fifth sister know?" β
Wu Niang pursed her lips and smiled: "Isn't it?" "Whoever said it, don't ask it, I won't tell you".
Who else could there be besides the Luo family?
Eleven Niang didn't bother to pursue these, and it didn't make sense to pursue them. What is the purpose of Wu Niang's coming, this is the main thing.
She nodded: "Aunt Qiao just found out that it was Ximai." β
"Hey!" Wu Niang sighed, "Then what are you going to do?" β
"Take good care of Aunt Qiao and let her give birth to the child smoothly."
"What about your house?" Wu Niang cares about authenticity.
Is it here to be a lobbyist for the eldest lady?
Eleven Niang guessed, pretending not to understand the meaning of her words, and asked, "In my house?" What can I do in my house? β
"You don't use your brain." Wu Niang looked like she hated iron but not steel, "The two aunts Qin and Wen are old, and now Aunt Qiao is pregnant again and can't stay in bed...... Can't you plan to do it? If you want me to say, it's better to take two or three young and beautiful people in the house. Take this opportunity to serve the Hou Ye well......"
Eleven Niang listened very tired, only when the mosquito flew next to the ear, uh-huh hummed.
Just when she felt that she couldn't bear it anymore, Amber came in: "Fifth aunt, I'll make you a new cup of tea!" β
The fifth aunt stopped talking and nodded towards Amber.
Amber re-served tea for the two of them, and brought fruit in: "Mrs. Fifth Aunt, taste the apples of Shandong, the oranges of southern Gansu." β
The fifth aunt smiled and took an orange and sniffed it.
When Amber stepped back, she began to speak again, "...... Why don't I ask your brother-in-law to help you buy a few Yangzhou skinny horses? Do you know Yangzhou skinny horses? said that it was specially trained, and then made small ones for those wealthy families. Beautiful, smooth, and obedient......"
It seems that she has gained a lot of insight when she married Qian Ming.
Eleven Niang peeled an apple for her: "Fifth sister, it's good to eat more apples!" β
"Hmm!" She took a bite and continued, "...... Otherwise, I'll take it from your side. Intimate, and can help you. I see that Amber is good, and Hamaju is also honest. It's a pity that Holly was ordered by you. Otherwise, she's the right person. At the right age, he looks like the most outstanding......"
I can't stop my mouth.
Wu Niang was talking endlessly, but Amber, who was listening through the curtain, was frightened.
I only heard a sentence "Aunt Qiao is pregnant" floating out of the mouth of the fifth aunt for a while, a sentence "Tongfang" for a while, and finally mentioning the names of herself and Holly...... I heard Eleven Niang uh-huh-hmmmm
She was stunned for a moment.
Yesterday, when Eleven Niang went back to her parents' house, she also went back with her, and she also met with Sango. Coral then pulled her to the firewood room and spoke: "...... Did Aunt Eleven tell you anything? The eldest lady has picked a room for the Hou Ye among us? The eldest lady put you in Aunt Eleven's house at the beginning, why are you ...... now? What the hell is going on? β
"Sister, don't worry, Madame treats me well!" Amber laughed, "I'm in charge of most of the things in the house. As he spoke, his brows furrowed, "However, the eldest lady picks a room for the Hou Ye...... I haven't heard of it. After thinking about it, he smiled again, "It's okay." Even if the Hou Ye wants to collect the house, it will have to be the nod of our wife! Seeing Coral frowning like a little old lady, he smiled and teased her, "Could it be that someone wants to serve our wife, so he asked my sister to come to my door?" β
"you!" Coral smiled and went to wring her face, "Dead Hoof, I'm not worried about you, am I?" β
Yes, there are a few people who have a good end. In the end, it will take a bit of luck to be carried up as an aunt. People like them who don't dare to gamble are better to be maids honestly.
She thought of what Madame had said to her that night, and she had a vague feeling that Madame wanted her to be her left arm and right shoulder, not a servant or concubine of Israel. When she thinks about it, she feels proud and different.
But it's not easy to say to Sangoβafter all, it's not something that is spoken by red lips and white teeth, or written down on white paper.
What I used to believe in has become less certain at this moment.
What is the dilemma that Madame is facing now, no one knows better than her - for the past two months, Master Hou has been in Madame's room, and Madame's bed has been clean.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but walk to the long case in the hall, and secretly chanted "Amitabha" to the Guanyin Bodhisattva on the top with her hands folded.
I just hope that Mrs. will meet soon.
After that, these things are all settled.
Maybe you can take advantage of Aunt Qiao's can't stay to sleep and have a brother......
"Amber, what is this for?" It turned out that the empty hall suddenly came from Tao Ma**'s voice, "Please ask the Bodhisattva to give you a good family?" β
Amber was startled and turned around sharply.
"Why doesn't Mother Tao make a sound when she walks?" She sneered, "It scares me." He looked behind her again, and saw that she was the only one who came in, and knew that the little maid outside the door couldn't stop her, so she hurriedly said, "The fifth aunt is here, and she is talking to her own words in the house with her wife. β
The corners of Tao's mother pouted slightly: "What kind of words?" Either borrowing money or silver, or asking our wife to do business with her. β
Amber is not good to rate.
"What is the matter with Madame that Mother has come to find Madame? Madame instructed me to let the small kitchen prepare dinner, but I was afraid that I would leave the fifth aunt and wife to eat, and this would definitely be impossible to say for a while. Do you want me to send you a message? Smiling, he talked to her as he walked out of the hall with her.
"It's not something that can't wait." Tao's mother smiled, "Madame asked me to help buy a dowry for Holly, I have prepared everything, and I have drawn up a list, and I want to bring it over to Madame for a look." β
Amber thought of Eleven Niang's instructions, but she didn't dare to go far, and stood under the eaves to talk to her.
"That being the case, as soon as the lady is empty, I will send the little maid to report to you. What do you think? β
Mother Tao thought for a while and said, "Then I'll trouble you." β
"Look at what Mom says." Amber said a few polite words to her, and Tao's mother went to the back room.
Amber immediately summoned all the maids and mothers-in-law who were on errands in the Eleventh Niang Courtyard to the courtyard.
She stood on the five steps and condescendingly glanced at the people standing in the courtyard. Then he pointed to the little maid who was on an errand at the door: "Give her to Mother Cai in the pulp washing room." Just say that I said it, and give her all the bedding in this house to wash. I don't think you're lazy! β
"Sister, I don't have ......"
The little maid's face was pale and she trembled with fright.
"You're not lazy. Why did Mrs. let everyone avoid it, but you were tired of stopping Mother Tao when she came? Isn't this lazy what? β
The people who can serve in this courtyard are all smart people, so they naturally understand who this refers to Sang scolding?
No one came out to intercede, more of a visitatory gaze.
When the little maid washed all the bedding in the house day and night, as Amber said, the atmosphere in the eleventh mother's house was also sober.
Amber was greatly relieved.
Fortunately, the person who drove the little girl away today was the two people who usually got along with him, and fortunately, he took the initiative to borrow three taels of silver to Cai's mother that day...... However, if there were no such "okay", she would really not be able to send this little maid.
Who let her be unlucky and bumped up!
It seems that Madame is right.
It is necessary to make good connections to have good results.
Of course, that's all for later.
In fact, after disposing of the little maid that day, as soon as Wu Niang left, she went to Shi Niang's inner room.
