Chapter 618: Exploration (I)

"What do you think? Thinking so distracted? Xu Lingyi asked her with a smile.

Eleven Niang organized the language and told him what happened this afternoon: "...... I'm looking forward to the Chinese New Year now. So that some things can be said to him slowly. Lest it be like a time bomb, and I'll worry if there's a stir on his side. ”

It turned out to be for these things!

Xu Lingyi felt that Eleven Niang and Mrs. Tai were making a bit of a fuss. But considering that Mrs. Tai was furious about this, and Eleven Niang was also tired, he persuaded softly: "If you want to hurry, you can't reach it." You put this aside for a moment. Always thinking about it like this, you can make a whole thing happen if you have nothing to do. What's more, Brother Zhen and Brother Zhen are not the kind of naughty children, you persuaded them bitterly, if they don't know what to do, then wouldn't all these years of books be read in vain? ”

This is what people often say, "there are no silver three hundred taels here"!

Eleven Niang let out a long breath.

Speaking out, I feel much better.

Xu Lingyi looked at her with a shallow smile on her face, smiled slightly, and changed the topic: "What about Brother Jin?" Why didn't you see him! ”

"Mother stays over there to eat!" At the mention of this pistachio, Eleven Niang's face was full of smiles, "I'm going to eat and pick him up!" ”

"Let's eat then!" Xu Lingyi pointed to the small bowls and plates on the kang table, "The food is cold." As he spoke, he called the little maid to come in, "Serve the lady a bowl of hot rice again!" ”

"No need!" Eleven Niang hurriedly said, "I'm already full, if I eat again, I won't be able to sleep at night!" ”

Xu Lingyi took out his pocket watch and looked at it.

It's already three o'clock after the beginning of the morning, and I'm resting right away, and if I eat too much, I will inevitably accumulate food. So he didn't say anything more, and after Eleven Niang finished eating, the two went to Mrs. Tai together.

The second lady and Xu Lingkuan's family are also there.

Seeing Xu Lingyi and his wife entering the door, Mrs. Tai said, "Why hasn't Brother Yu come back yet?" It's time for a curfew! I don't know if something happened? "Laughing and groaning, I can't tell that I have lost such a temper in the afternoon.

"They have people from the guard with them, what can they do?" Xu Lingyi said with a smile, "Most of the in-laws stayed sincere, and they were delayed there for a little longer!" ”

Mrs. Tai nodded and discussed with Eleven Niang: "You say, are we inviting our in-laws to come to the house the day after tomorrow?" Or will you invite you in a few days? ”

According to custom, after the newlyweds get married, the two parents' families should have a formal banquet, and the woman's banquet is generally arranged on the next day of the man's day. After that, the wedding is officially over. The bride begins to settle down in the morning and dusk, serving her in-laws, and her in-laws can also start visiting each other.

Formal banquets are usually arranged on the fifth, ninth, or twelfth day after the wedding.

"I think it's better the day after tomorrow." Eleven Niang chose the fifth day, thinking that this could show the man's urgent mood and also show the man's respect for the woman, "What does the mother think?" ”

"You just have to make up your mind!" Mrs. Tai smiled, "We just want to ask clearly, so we can eat and drink when the time comes!" "Joke with Eleven Niang.

Everyone laughed.

The little maid came in and said, "The second young master and the second young grandmother are back!" ”

"Ouch! Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived. The fifth lady laughed.

Everyone laughed again.

Xu Siyu and Xiang who walked in couldn't help but be a little overwhelmed.

The second lady smiled and relieved them: "Okay, okay, don't tease the children!" Then he asked them, "Why did you come back so late?" Grandmother asked just now! ”

Xu Siyu hurriedly said: "Uncle Xiao rushed back suddenly, and when he arrived, it was already the time to hold the lamp, and we sat with him for a while, so I came back late." ”

The second lady listened and hurriedly explained to everyone: "This brother of my sister-in-law is a jinshi in the fifty-sixth year of Jianwu. He once served as a county magistrate in Dingtao for a year, and then resigned and returned home and traveled all over the world. He must have heard that Roune was married, so he hurried back. ”

Xu Siyu nodded hurriedly: "Uncle Xiao said that when he went to Wuxi Huiquan to get water, he listened to what the Wuxi prefect said, and he rented a boat to Yanjing that night, but he was still a step late, and he arrived at noon today." As he spoke, he said with a smile, "I also gave us a jar of Huiquan water as a congratulatory gift." ”

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!" Mrs. Tai smiled when she heard this, and asked about their return to Xiang's house.

Xu Siyu smiled and replied one by one.

Knowing that Mrs. Xiang had invited her mother's brothers, daughters, and sons-in-law to accompany Xu Siyu, she nodded with a smile and said, "You are also tired, go back and rest early!" ”

Xu Siyu bowed down and responded "yes".

Eleven Niang saw Xiang secretly pull the corner of Xu Siyu's clothes.

Probably in front of so many elders, and in full view of everyone, Xu Siyu glanced at Xiang, but ignored it, turned around and walked out of the banquet room in the west room.

Xiang followed helplessly.

Eleven Niang was very strange what she wanted to say.

When she returned to the house, she immediately got the answer - Xiang Shi filled a small Ou with sweet white porcelain and sent it over.

"Although I can only make a pot of tea, it is also a little bit of my heart."

Eleven Niang accepted it with a smile and asked, "Where can grandmother, second aunt, and fifth aunt be delivered?" ”

Xiang said respectfully: "I'm about to send it!" ”

Eleven Niang nodded, and asked Qiu Yu to take a box of hibiscus cake and give it to her: "The queen mother's reward, I eat it tastes very good." You taste it too. ”

Xiang thanked him and went to Mrs. Tai with Wenzhu.

After a circle, I got a box of ginger candy from Mrs. Tai, two piles of yarn palace flowers from Mrs. Five, and only Mrs. II probably didn't say anything because she was an aunt.

Back in the house, Xiang's mother, Xiang's companion, greeted her, glanced at Xiang, and stepped forward with a smile: "The second young grandmother is back!" ”

Xiang nodded, Xiang's mother served her to freshen up, and let Wen Zhu go down to rest.

"What's the matter?" After entering the clean room, Xiang asked Xiang's mother softly, "You still have to talk behind someone's back." ”

Xiang's mother leaned into her ear and told Xiang's about today's eleventh mother's handling of the housekeeper: "Second young grandmother, it seems that Mrs. looks kind, but I'm afraid it's not the person who kneaded the dough." The tone was worried.

Xiang didn't care, and said with a smile: "My aunt said a long time ago that my mother-in-law is a shrewd person. Let me respect, obey, and endure. As long as we listen to my mother-in-law in everything, my mother-in-law will not attack me for no reason. Mom, don't worry! ”

What else did Xiang's mother say, Xiang had already said, "What is the second young master doing?" ”

"Practice calligraphy in the study!" Xiang's mother said, her eyes were already smiling, obviously admiring Xu Siyu's diligence, "Listen to Mozhu said, you have to practice three pages of words every day." Since the beginning of learning characters, it has never been left behind. ”

Xiang also showed admiration. She thought about it for a while and instructed Xiang's mother: "Take out the hundred-year-old ginseng that my mother gave me and make tea for the second young master." ”

Xiang's mother responded "yes" with a smile, called the maid to serve Xiang's freshness, simmered a cup of ginseng tea by herself, and sent it in with a tray of red lacquered begonia flowers: "Second young grandmother, for you!" ”

Xiang blushed and went to Xu Siyu's study.

Xu Siyu had just finished writing the three pages when he saw Xiang come in with a teacup, and greeted him apologetically: "Everything has been delivered." ”

"It's all delivered!" Xiang's gaze was full of tenderness when he looked at Xu Siyu, "Xianggong is tired, take a sip of tea to relieve the pan." ”

Xu Si thanked him, picked up the teacup, and immediately smelled the smell of ginseng, and he showed a surprised expression.

Xiang couldn't help but regret it when he looked at it.

I was too careless.

After all, this ginseng is her dowry, and she took it out and used it without asking, if he misunderstood that she thought he was the concubine of the Xu family, so it would be troublesome if he didn't have such a good thing.

"Xianggong!" Xiang's face turned red, "I see that you are still studying hard so late...... I want you to nourish your spirits, and I'm embarrassed to make a noise for a while, so I used my own ...... of dowry"

Seeing his wife explain so anxiously, the corners of Xu Siyu's mouth curled high.

It's like just now.

There is food and wine, and Mr. Food.

He has Hui spring water, and he should first honor his elders.

But considering that this Huiquan water was given by his wife's uncle, he was not in charge, and he was going to discuss his wife after he returned, but who knew that his wife tactfully blamed him, and he should give this water to the elders to taste first.

"I know." Xu Siyu's eyes were very bright when he looked at Xiang, "This tea is very fragrant, I ......" He hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "I like it very much!" ”

It was as if something had suddenly hit her atrium, making it a little difficult for her to breathe. A little uncomfortable, a little happy, and a little shy, so that she couldn't speak, couldn't tell the truth, and panicked in her heart......

Xiang's face flushed even more.

Suddenly a little scared of this feeling.

She forced herself not to think about it anymore, and said in a panic: "Fourth uncle, should we send some too?" After saying that, I immediately felt that I had lost my words.

The fourth uncle is the son of the world, and if he says this, he doesn't know if the Xiang Guild will think that he is flattering the fourth uncle?

He said hurriedly: "There are also uncles and uncles, do you want to send a little?" ”

Xu Siyu didn't think much about it.

As soon as his wife entered the door, she was naturally afraid of being rude.

"The fourth brother and the fifth brother live in the outer courtyard together, no better than Brother Jin, and follow their mother. If you want to send the fourth brother, you will naturally have to send the fifth brother. He muttered, "The eldest brother and the third brother are now separated, so they can be sent or not!" ”

As she spoke, Xiang's heart gradually calmed down, and she whispered "yes": "Then I'll send some to the fourth and fifth uncles tomorrow!" ”

Xu Siyu smiled at her: "But in this way, we don't have it ourselves!" ”

Xiang was stunned.

She noticed that there was not much water at the time, so she didn't send it to the fourth uncle...... Who knew that the devil sent the gods, and he actually came up with such words......

Xiang's language.

Xu Siyu said leisurely: "Fortunately, I am not the kind of person who can't write without the lake pen and ink." If you don't, you don't have it! You can send it to the fourth and fifth brothers tomorrow! ”

Xiang bit his lip and replied "yes", lowered his head a little frustratedly, and wondered if he would send Xiang's mother back tomorrow to ask his uncle for Huiquan water, so he didn't see the smile in Xu Siyu's eyes.

* * * * * *

Eleven Niang coaxed Brother Jin to sleep, and then went back to the inner room.

"I didn't expect Brother Yu's daughter-in-law to be a person who understands the world." She smiled and sat on the embroidery pier in front of the mirror table, looked at Xu Lingyi, who was leaning on the big pillow and reading, and said, "Brother Yu'er has her to help with it, and we can rest assured." With that, he turned to the mirror and unloaded the earrings.

This time, Xu Siyu will not have to worry about him even if he is a branch in the future.
