Chapter 590: Return (II)

Eleven Niang touched her smooth hair, gently put down the album in her hand, helped him tuck the corners of the quilt, glanced at Ah Jin, and signaled her to take good care of Brother Jin, and then walked out of the warm pavilion lightly.

Outside, the north wind was blowing, hulala, and the windows crackled.

Eleven Niang went to bed.

It's warm in the quilt.

She looked at the sachet on the top of the tent and suddenly remembered that she had just married...... It seems to be going farther and farther......

Rolled over and heard light footsteps outside.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Xu Lingyi, who was cold, sat on the edge of the bed, "Winter has to be raised." It's a different day, so it's better to go to bed early! ”

Eleven Niang raised her head and carefully looked at the person in front of her.

The eyes are still so bright, and the voice is still so low, but there is no longer the condensation between the eyebrows when they first met, but the gentleness that she is familiar with.

It seems that everyone has changed.

"What's wrong?" Xu Lingyi asked her with a smile.

"It's fine!" Eleven Niang pursed her lips and smiled, and sat up, "What is Aunt Wen looking for you?" ”

Xu Lingyi got up and went to change clothes: "Something happened to the Wen family, she asked me to discuss what to do?" The tone seemed a bit understated.

Didn't he ignore the Wen family's affairs for a long time? Why did you stay with Aunt Wen to discuss with her?

Shi Niang couldn't help asking: "What happened to the Wen family?" ”

After all, it involves the emperor's residence in the hidden mansion back then.

"I once did a little favor to the Wen family, and the Wen family sent a sum of money to thank me." Xu Lingyi thought about it, and after thinking about it, she told Shi Niang what happened to her, "I didn't ask for it, but the Wen family insisted on refusing to take it back, so it was put in the hands of the Wen family." A few years ago, the Wen family wanted to do the business of the Internal Affairs Department through the Yang family, and they used a lot of silver, but the effect was not great. Later, the Yang family had an accident, and took a lot of silver out to make some money. The Wen family's business is not anyone's business. In the past few years, the third master of the Wen family has been in charge, not to mention that the business is not going well, and he has also lost the Jiangnan weaving business, and the momentum is not as good as before. The elders of the family were quite dissenting, and some even suggested that Wen's brother should take care of the family business. Wen Sanye was in a hurry and started maritime trade. made some money and barely salvaged the situation. As a result, after the accident of the Wang family, some people who originally followed Wang Jiubao started a maritime business again, and the Wen family was robbed twice in a row, accompanied by a lot of silver, and his vitality was greatly damaged. Wen's brother sent someone to see Wen, saying that he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get the support of the elders in the family to preside over the family affairs. In this way, everyone's life is better. ”

Eleven Niang thought that a few days ago, the Wen family had sent someone to send some silk to the Wen family, and Aunt Wen also took a few tributes to her, it turned out that the Wen family still had this meaning in it.

"At that time, Wen's brother was too cautious, and after Wen's father died, the elders of the family chose Wen Sanye to manage the business. Now Wen's brother is taking advantage of Wen's weakness to regain the right to manage the family business, and Wen can't make up his mind, so he comes to me about it. Xu Lingyi said, "I think, the money originally belonged to the Wen family, since the Wen family wants to return it to the Wen family to help her brother, then return it to the Wen family." It can be regarded as an explanation of what happened back then! ”

Wouldn't the relationship between the two families be more estranged in this way?

Eleven Niang was very surprised, and couldn't help but say, "What did Aunt Wen say?" ”

"Said some words of gratitude." Xu Lingyi said, "Then agreed on a date for the people of the Wen family to come and get the money!" ”

With this money, Aunt Wen's brother would definitely win the support of the elders in the clan.

No wonder you have to talk to Xu Lingyi in private.

Aunt Wen is like this, which is tantamount to meddling in and affecting the internal affairs of the Wen family!

But on the day when the Wen family came, Aunt Wen's actions were unexpected by Eleven Niang and Xu Lingyi.

Xu Lingyi asked Eleven Niang to ask Aunt Wen if she wanted to meet her brother. Aunt Wen shook her head gently: "Yu Gong, Master Wen is the guest of the Hou Ye, and I am the female dependent of the inner courtyard; Yu private, Master Wen is my brother, and I am Lord Hou's concubine. Regardless of whether it is public or private, slaves and maids are not qualified to see Master Wen. In that case, it is better not to see it. There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

Truly. In the public, men and women are not allowed to kiss, and the female relatives of the inner courtyard cannot go to see male guests; In private, the brothers and sisters of the concubine are not considered relatives. In public and private, she is indeed not qualified to meet the Wen family.

Is this a kind of *** for the family Wen family who sent her to Beijing back then?

It's just that *** came a little late...... This change seems to have been since Aunt Qin's death...... At that time, she knew the origin of the huge sum of money in her hand......

Eleven Niang remained silent.

The Wen family seemed to have misunderstood Aunt Wen's actions. sent a mother who can speak well to ask to see Eleven Niang, and wanted to see Aunt Wen.

Eleven Niang didn't stop her, but Aunt Wen gave the comer a closed door.

Dong Hong couldn't help but worry: "Auntie, Master Hou has also taken our shop, and you don't see Master Wen...... We only get in and can't go out like this, and soon we will be empty! ”

Aunt Wen snorted at her: "What nonsense? Rotten ships also have three-pound nails. I will never lose your food and clothing, let alone your dowry! ”

Donghong's face turned red all of a sudden.

Qiu Hong helped her say something, and she was going to get married after the New Year.

The little maid Xia Hong covered her mouth and laughed on the side.

Qiu Hong slapped her angrily: "Don't go and help my aunt divide the thread!" I just know that the stupid pestle is here! ”

Xia Hong dodged with a smile, and said crisply, "Auntie, I'm going to embroider", and ran away.

Aunt Wen smiled.

Dong Hong said flatteringly: "Auntie's loquat embroidery is really good!" ”

Aunt Wen looked at the handkerchief that had been embroidered in her hand for almost half a year, and couldn't help frowning: "I see that Mrs. is very relaxed, why is it so difficult in my hands?" Then he muttered, "Now that the eldest lady is married, the business is gone, and the silver has been returned to the Wen family, I don't have any more worries, and I am an innocent person again, and I can live a leisurely life of embroidering flowers and raising birds......" As she spoke, her eyes couldn't help falling on the sachet hanging on the corner of the bed.

It contained the 30,000 taels of silver tickets that her mother gave her when she went north.

She has been eating and wearing in Xufu all these years, and she should have 33,000 taels of silver, right?

In a few days, I have to find a way to redeem the profits. Otherwise, after a long time, the money bank will be disposed of as a dead account, but it will be troublesome. When the time comes, if you have to go to the government to write a letter of guarantee, won't it be exposed? With Xu Lingyi's character, she will definitely be suspected of secretly keeping 30,000 taels of silver at that time.

She didn't want her mother to care about being misinterpreted like this!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but have a headache.

After thinking about it, Aunt Wen sent Xia Hong to ask Xu Siqin when she would make a full moon ceremony for her son: "...... At that time, the whole family will go to Mitsui Hutong to eat and drink. When the time comes, he will only say that the silver is gone, and he will redeem it......"

Aunt Wen thought in her heart.

Shi Niang was a little surprised, looking at the housekeeper mother who was standing in front of her tremblingly.

"In this way, from next month, we don't have to send sesame oil money to Dajue Temple?"

The housekeeper's mother nodded a little apprehensively, and secretly looked at Shi Niang's expression from the corner of her eyes: "Speaking of Master Jingkong, no, Aunt Yang officially worshiped under the presiding disciple of Dajue Temple as a closed disciple, and she will be a member of Dajue Temple in the future." We don't need our family to provide for it! ”

Yang's can survive tenaciously no matter what the circumstances!

Eleven Niang nodded, asked Zhu Xiang to take the pair of cards to the woman, and went to the secretary to hook Yang's sesame oil money. told Xu Lingyi about it again.

Xu Lingyi just nodded, and talked about the full moon Lilly on the side of Mitsui Hutong: "When the time comes, there will be a lot of people, no better than at home, don't let Brother Jin leave your eyes." It's never wrong to be careful. ”

This is the first time Brother Jin has gone out to drink wedding wine.

"Don't worry," Shi Niang said with a smile, "The concubine will take good care of Brother Jin'er." ”

On the day when she went to Mitsui Hutong to eat wine, Eleven Niang never forgot her brother to leave her sight, but Xu Sizhen and Xu Sijie, the two were inseparable, and ran to the front to see the people eating in front of them, and ran to the flower hall in the inner courtyard to play cards.

The mother and mother-in-law around her have been following, which has relieved Eleven Niang a lot.

In the afternoon, the members of the Deyin class came to the church.

Xu Sizhen pulled Xu Sizhen to watch the play: "...... We'll go backstage later. And big knives and spears there! ”

Xu Sijie looked at Xu Sizhen with admiration: "How does the fourth brother know that there is a big knife and a spear in the background!" ”

Xu Sizhen explained to Xu Sijie very carefully: "Last time I followed my father to Douge's hometown to eat wine, Han Jian told me. He said that when their family sang in the church, he often went backstage to play. You can also play with a big knife! ”

"Who is Han Jian?" Xu Sijie said curiously.

"His father was a squire in the Ministry of Works." The two of them said as they went to the main courtyard of the singing hall, "I had a good time with Dou Jing." Wang Yun also knew him. Speaking of this, he let out an "oh" and said, "Wang Yun, do you remember?" ”

Xu Sijie nodded: "Wang Liwang's son." ”

"The fifth brother's memory is good!" Xu Si smiled earnestly, "Could it be that Mr. teaches to play the flute, I still only stay on the surface, and the fifth brother can already play tunes!" ”

Xu Sijie lowered his head embarrassedly.

The unique sonorous sound of Geyang's cavity reached his ears more and more.

The two little guys became excited, and the beauties in front of the east wing leaned on a place and listened to the play with relish.

* * * * * *

Fang took Eleven Niang to his warm pavilion: "Fourth aunt, you will take a rest first." ”

The house in Mitsui Hutong is too small, and a stage was set up in front of the main courtyard to sing the hall, and the gongs and drums began to be heard. Brother Jin is used to taking a nap, and he is very irritable when he hears it, and he doesn't sleep well in the afternoon, and it's a little noisy in the afternoon. Fang found a relatively quiet place for Shi Niang.

Eleven Niang put her son on the kang.

Brother Jin immediately opened his eyes.

"Mother!" stretched out his hand to ask for an eleventh mother's hug.

Eleven Niang is already struggling to hold him now.

She thought about it, simply took off her shoes and went to the kang, and half-hugged her brother.

Brother Jin was in his mother's arms, and fell into a deep sleep again.

Fang Shi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it.

"There are so many guests, you've just reached the full moon, go and rest!" Eleven Niang said softly.

Fang Shi smiled: "It's okay, the child has a nurse to help take it, and I don't have anything important!" ”

As the two were talking, there was a commotion outside.

Fang Shi hurriedly got up to take a look, and quickly brought Xu Sizhen's personal servant Wang Shu in.

"Madam," Wang Shu's face turned pale, like a sifting chaff, "the fourth young master and the fifth young master are gone!" ”
