On the fourth day of the lunar month, the five princes moved to Huangye Mountain outside the city for a while, and set up princely guards along the way. On the sixth day of the first month, the fifth prince was given the nickname "Prince of Mourning Min". Officials, big and small, and women inside and outside also ended the mourning ceremony.

In the meantime, the second lady met the queen again.

The queen was noncommittal and did not say a word on this matter.

The second lady couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"This stupid boy." Mrs. Tai wiped the corners of her eyes.

Xu Lingyi was silent for a long time.

"Just follow the queen's wishes!"

The second lady wanted to speak again and again, and finally said: "Since this is the case, please make plans as soon as possible." ”

Xu Lingyi nodded, and began to frequently recruit staff in Banyuepan.

Eleven Niang wrote the "Valley Wind" in the Book of Poetry, which is one foot long and wide, two feet long, and embroidered into a screen with silk yarn.

This is inspired by the eldest lady's embroidery of the lady's longevity screen. She is going to use this yin* Hui sister to become interested in embroidery. Unexpectedly, Sister Zhen liked it very much, and asked repeatedly: "Is this the world-famous double-sided embroidery of Xianya Pavilion?" ”

Eleven Niang nodded and said, "You can help me divide the line!" ”

Sister Zhen readily agreed. When I went to Mrs. Tai's place for dinner, I told about it: "...... and the thread shall be very thin, like a hair. Holly, who is next to her mother, is very good at doing this. ”

Mrs. Tai smiled and nodded: "With such a good master by your side, you must remember to steal the master." ”

Everyone laughed.

The second lady also said: "It's okay to let me make shoes and socks, but the embroidery will be mediocre." Sister Zhen should study hard with your mother. ”

Seeing that everyone encouraged her to learn embroidery from Eleven Niang, Sister Zhen had no worries and smiled happily all night. So much so that Brother Zhen also said, "I'm going to help my sister go to the line." ”

"What a line!" The second lady chuckled and said, "After the New Year, I will find you a gentleman and go to the outer courtyard to study with my brothers." ”

Let's talk about Mr.

When Shi Niang thought of Mr. Zhao, she couldn't help but feel a little pity - it would be nice if the Xixi in the house was her own person.

"I see that you have taken the time to send a letter to Mr. Deng, and ask him to recommend a gentleman." Mrs. Tai muttered, "Although Mr. Deng is now at home, he has been in the Hanlin Academy for more than 30 years, and he has been an emperor, so it is better than a blind man like us touching an elephant." ”

Xu Lingyi said: "I sent a letter to Mr. Deng last month. Mr. Deng replied that there are many people who deceive the world and steal their reputation, but few who devote themselves to learning...... Listening to that accent, there was no suitable candidate. ”

"Mr. Deng has become the emperor, and his majesty is rising." The second lady listened and said lightly, "Look at the world's scholars!" ”

Xu's mother and son couldn't help but be silent.

Back at home, Eleven Niang served Xu Lingyi and rested, and laid another futon by herself.

"What's wrong?"

I've been sleeping in the same quilt for the past few days, so why are we sleeping separately again.

Xu Lingyi wondered.

I didn't cross that distance.

Eleven Niang's face was slightly red: "I, my little day is coming......" The voice was low and inaudible, "There is a smell of blood...... lest you feel uncomfortable. ”

Xu Lingyi couldn't help but rub her head: "Fool." He hugged her into his quilt and covered her abdomen again, "It doesn't hurt." ”

Eleven Niang reacted after a while.

Xu Lingyi was asking her if she had menstrual cramps.

She was uncomfortable: "I'm fine. Nothing uncomfortable. ”

"Why is life not going well?" Xu Lingyi said in a low voice.

"I don't know." Before, when I was young, it was normal to be on the wrong day. Later, Holly said to Xu's mother, and Xu's mother said, let's talk about it after watching it for two years. As a result, she didn't wait two years for her to get married...... The Xu family asked the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital, or asked the emperor's favor, or asked the familiar imperial doctor to go to the clinic in private, which was very troublesome every time. Why is she embarrassed to mobilize people for this when she first came to the court......

"I'll invite the Imperial Doctor to come tomorrow!" Sure enough, when he opened his mouth, he had to ask for a doctor.

Eleven Niang muttered: "Tomorrow is Laba, and there is Laba porridge in the palace to be rewarded, and it will be offered." I also invited Du's mother to pierce Sister Zhen'er's ears. ”

"It matters what matters." Xu Lingyi said, "Let it all go, and let the imperial doctor take a look." ”

"I'm afraid that I will take medicine in the first month, which will be unlucky." Eleven Niang is afraid that Mrs. Tai will taboo this, "What's more, tomorrow will be Laba." Why don't you wait until the New Year is over? ”

"The third brother is leaving, and you will only be busier." Xu Lingyi insisted, "That's it." ”

Eleven Niang couldn't refuse anymore, and responded in a low voice, Xu Lingyi leaned over and blew out the lamp, and the two stopped and didn't mention it.

Early the next morning, Xu Lingyi was sent away, Sister Zhen came to greet Eleven Niang, and just sat down, the three aunts came. Everyone said a few words, and Eleven Niang took Sister Zhen to Mrs. Tai.

The third lady was talking to Mrs. Tai about the Laba Festival, and the second lady sat with hot tea and listened.

When Mrs. Tai saw the two of them come in, she beckoned them over and sat down: "Listen to them all!" ”

Eleven Niang replied "yes" respectfully, but Sister Zhen'er's face was slightly red.

After meeting the third lady, everyone sat down with dignity and humility, and the third lady glanced at Eleven Niang, and then continued the words that had just been interrupted: "...... Evening incense is in charge, and it started boiling last night. According to the custom, the reward in the palace is enshrined in the Buddha hall, and then the garden tree and the well stove are enshrined. As for the laba porridge sent to the homes of the Marquis of Yongchang, Zhongqinbo, Weibei Hou and others, according to the practice of previous years, the porridge box was spread with preserved fruits, lychee meat, cinnamon meat, peach kernels and pine nuts in an auspicious pattern and delivered before the beginning of the morning. The garlic and pickled cabbage are also ready, and they start making it after eating Laba porridge. ”

Mrs. Tai nodded slightly and ordered, "Don't forget to send someone to the South China Sea to raise ice." ”

The third lady smiled: "Don't worry, you can't forget it." Otherwise, there will be no iced sour plum soup to drink in the house next summer, so you won't be chattered about having no place to stand. As he spoke, he glanced at the second lady with a smile.

Mrs. Tai looked at the second lady and sighed slightly: "You really don't stay!" It's about to be the New Year......"

On the 11th, the second lady will return to Xishan after the "first ceremony" of the five princes - on that day, everyone will go to the altar to read the sacrificial text, drink wine, and salute.

She smiled: "When the spring flowers bloom in two days, I invite you to come to me." "Euphemistically rejected Mrs. Tai's retention.

Mrs. Tai's eyes darkened, and she instructed the third lady: "If you have it at home, you should also prepare one on the Xishan side." ”

The third lady seemed to have expected this, and said with a smile: "I have already prepared." At that time, the second sister-in-law will definitely be indispensable. ”

The second lady smiled slightly at the third lady: "Thank you for worrying about the third brother and sister." ”

"What the second sister-in-law said, it's my job."

The two exchanged pleasantries, and a small servant came in and said, "Doctor Liu from the Tai Hospital is here." ”

Everyone was stunned.

Xu Lingyi said that the wind is the rain, and invited the imperial doctor to come early in the morning.

Eleven Niang was a little unprepared, so she had to stand up and say, "It's me who is a little uncomfortable." ”

Mrs. Tai listened and said, "Where are you uncomfortable?" Why don't you say a word? These two days have been running in front of me! ”

Eleven Niang's face was flushed, and she didn't know how to answer.

The third lady said "ah", and said with surprise on her face: "Is there a fourth brother and sister?" ”

"No, no." Eleven Niang hurriedly explained, "I'm just a little uncomfortable. ”

She knew that Mrs. Tai wanted the house to be lively, and she was afraid that the third lady would mislead Mrs. Tai - the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and she was afraid that Mrs. Tai would be sad.

In this way, Mrs. Tai's face still flashed with disappointment.

Doctor Liu was checking the pulse of Eleven Niang through the handkerchief, and Mrs. Tai asked nervously, "How is it?" ”

"I'm still young, and my body bones are a little weak." Liu Yizheng smiled, "It's good to transfer it for one or two years." ”

Mrs. Tai breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good." ”

Doctor Liu, who was over sixty years old, personally accompanied him to prescribe the prescription, and instructed Du's mother to hand over the prescription to the hands of Manager Bai: "Grab the medicine according to this prescription, and come back to show me and boil it again." ”

Du's mother left in response.

Eleven Niang was very embarrassed - it made Mrs. Tai uneasy, and asked in person.

Mrs. Tai thought that Eleven Niang ranked her days before and after the small days, thinking that she was unhappy in her heart, and comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay." Our family is not one of those poor households who can't afford to eat ginseng bird's nest. ”

Shi Niang was very grateful that Mrs. Tai could comfort herself in this situation, and hurriedly said, "I will take medicine well." ”

Mrs. Tai smiled and nodded: "This is the right reason." ”

As he was talking, the laba porridge rewarded in the palace came.

Everyone took the porridge, rewarded the people from the palace, served the porridge according to the previous practice, and the whole family gathered around to eat the porridge. Eleven Niang's medicine is here.

Mrs. Tai carefully identified it for a while before handing over the medicine to Du's mother: "I went to my hospital to boil it, and served the fourth lady to drink it every day when she came to me to say hello." ”

Mother Du took it with a smile, and Eleven Niang hurriedly stepped forward to thank Mrs. Tai.

"You just take care of your bones." Mrs. Tai said, "Don't worry about anything else. Then the second lady accompanied her to take a nap.

Eleven Niang invited Du's mother to her own residence and used a thimble to pierce Sister Zhen'er's ears.

"Does it hurt?" She looked at Sister Zhen'er's face turned white.

She woke up with pierced ears, and she hadn't worn them in her previous life, so she didn't know what it felt like.

Sister Zhen shook her head: "It doesn't hurt!" ”

Even if it hurts, there is no way. I'm afraid that I will be disgusted by my mother-in-law in the future.

Eleven Niang gave Du's mother a pair of red gold bracelets, a pair of red gold longevity bluestone hairpins, and a pair of jade bracelets as a thank you gift.

Mother Du was not polite, smiled and thanked and took her leave.

Eleven Niang personally sent Du's mother to the door, and then turned around and went back to the house to embroider the screen with Sister Zhen.

There was a gap of two moments at the beginning of Youchu, Xu Lingyi hadn't come back yet, and he didn't send a little guy to come over to say a word.

Could it be that something is wrong?

Eleven Niang was very worried and took Sister Zhen to Mrs. Tai's place.

After saluting, the second lady immediately noticed the difference between Sister Zhen'er, opened the cage with a smile, and took a pair of small red gold pomegranate flower earrings to Sister Zhen'er: "If you don't pay attention, our Sister Zhen is already a big girl." ”

Mrs. Tai also found out and said with a smile: "It's Eleven Niang's idea again!" ”

Sister Zhen'er's face was slightly red: "Mother said that Laba pierced ears are good." ”

Mrs. Tai asked Wei Zi to take the earrings of the small red gold ginkgo biloba to Sister Zhen'er: "Let's wear them instead!" ”

Sister Zhen thanked her and accepted.

The third lady smiled and said, "I'll make it up another day." ”

Sister Zhen still thanked her.

A little guy ran in: "Master Hou is back!" ”

※

I have written many wedding scenes, and when I am immersed in the scene, I know how trivial and tiring the affairs are. But when the younger brother and sister-in-law appeared in a perfect image and hugged each other affectionately, they suddenly felt that everything was for this moment...... Condensed into a wonderful memory!
