Chapter 413: The Wind Rises (Part II)

Yan Rong did not think about the problem carefully enough.

wants to justifiably send Tao's mother out, and there are many reasons.

Eleven Niang smiled and sent Yan Rong away.

Amber came over and persuaded: "Madam, Yanrong's words also make sense......

"It's not as serious as she said." Eleven Niang interrupted her with a smile, "If you want to send Mother Tao away, there are many ways." Speaking of this, she raised the corners of her eyebrows, "Some people, I have always been worried. It's just that the tiger also has a nap, and I can't stare at it every day. Even though Mother Tao has a thousand mistakes, she will not be wrong to protect Brother Zhen's heart. I left her behind, but I was afraid that I would be negligent when I took care of my brother, and she could make up for the leaks when she watched from the sidelines! After speaking, her face turned straight, "However, Mother Tao always thinks that I have taken the position of the eldest sister and enjoyed the blessings that should have been enjoyed by the eldest sister." Now that I'm pregnant again, I'm afraid she's even more upset. You'll have to pay attention to her side. Although I didn't think that Brother Zhen could like me as a mother, I didn't want tension between the two. ”

Amber responded, returned to the house and was thinking about how to inquire what Mother Tao had said to Xu Sichen, when Mother Du came to visit.

She hurriedly welcomed Du's mother to sit on the kang near the window in the room, and entertained guests with the West Lake Longjing rewarded by Eleven Niang.

Du's mother looked at the small room, cleaned up the windows, hung a half-new royal blue tent, a big red brocade quilt, a goose yellow pillow, and a small pot of bamboos on the windowsill, generous and decent.

She couldn't help nodding secretly, and whispered her meaning: "...... After returning from the temple, the fourth young master went to the old house where the first four ladies lived and offered incense. When I came back, she told me that the fourth lady likes flowers, and she made great efforts to let Ji Ting's daughter-in-law raise some rare things in the conservatory in the back garden, and just keep them for fun. ”

Mother Du is the most considerate and powerful person around Mrs. Tai. Sometimes, it is Mrs. Tai who is represented.

Amber was shocked and hurriedly said, "Please also ask Mother Du to defend herself." Although our wife likes those flowers and plants, she doesn't have the ability of the Empress of Heaven to make a hundred flowers bloom. It's just because there is a warm house at home and Ji Ting's daughter-in-law, who is skillful, so that the flowering period is a few days earlier and a few days later. As for giving away, except for people like Mrs. Gan Jiatai and Grandma Lin Family, and Mrs. Hou Huang of Yongchang, there is no farewell home. These ladies are either in-laws, or old friends who have gone through hardships together......"

Mother Du saw that Amber was in a hurry, knowing that she had misunderstood what she meant, and hurriedly smiled: "Amber girl, don't worry. What kind of person the fourth lady is, everyone knows it. It's not that if someone says a bad word, it's not good; Whoever says a good word will say it. Telling these words to the Amber girl is also what our lady means. ”

When Amber heard this, she immediately stood up: "Please mother command!" ”

Her respectful attitude made Mother Du look like she drank cold mung bean water on a June day, and her voice was softer from the inside out: "What our Mrs. Tai means is that the fourth young master is young and has always ignored these little things, how can he suddenly care about them." Let the girl pass a word to her wife, there are some things that need to be investigated. lest you be instigated by those who like to play right and wrong, and raise a good young master. ”

Amber looked stunned when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "Please rest assured, mother, I will definitely spread this word." ”

Mother Du nodded slightly, and when she saw that the business was over, she asked Amber: "I heard that your mother and Lao Tzu are still in the Zhuangzi in Yuhang, why don't you mention it to your wife, and take it over to support the elderly!" ”

Amber smiled: "They are used to living in Jiangnan, there are some old neighbors on the left and right, although I am not under the knee, talking and laughing, life is also happy." ”

"Then won't you fall into Yanjing!"

Amber's face turned red: "I am serving Madame, where Madame is, I am naturally there." ”

Mother Du smiled and bowed slightly, as if she was very satisfied with her words, and said a few more gossips, and then got up to leave.

Although Amber felt that Mother Du's question was a little strange, she was worried about conveying Mrs. Tai's meaning to Eleven Niang, so she didn't think about it and hurriedly went to Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang frowned slightly, and asked Amber: "Where is Brother Zhen?" ”

Amber said in a low voice, "In the Fifth Young Master's house." ”

Xu Sizhen was very confused.

When his mother died, she repeatedly told him, saying that Mother Tao was the person she trusted the most, and she must listen to Mother Tao if she had anything in the future. He also swore that he would never disobey her instructions. But he listened to Tao's mother and told Du's mother about sending flowers, but Du's mother said to him with a smile: Sending flowers is a trivial matter, and the royal family has its own magnanimity, and will not blame the Yongping Marquis Mansion for this kind of thing. He thought about Mrs. Tai's words that "big people usually lose big because of the small", and argued: "The thousand-mile embankment collapsed in the anthill." The more trivial it is, the more attention it is. ”

Mother Du smiled and praised him: "Our fourth young master has grown up with Mr. Zhao, and we know everything." I will tell Mrs. Tai about this, let Mrs. Tai talk to Mrs. Fourth, and never give flowers to others in the future. After speaking, let the little maid lead him back to the house, and he called the housekeeper mother who was standing under the eaves and waiting: "Mrs. Tai is just temporarily helping the fourth lady to take care of the affairs of the house, like this kind of summer clothes where to use the fabric and other big things, I think it is ......better to inform the fourth lady" seemed to be a little unimpressed by what he said.

Xu Sizhen was a little disappointed and wanted to ask Xu Sijian. But Xu Sijian went to the outer courtyard with Xu Siqin as soon as he went to school. Listen to Xu Sijian's little guy. Xu Sijian's family moved out of Zhongqinbo's mansion and set up a mansion outside, so that his grandmother could entertain guests at home. Xu Siqin and Xu Sijian hadn't been in Yanjing for two years, and his grandmother was very worried. often sent people to ask him and Xu Siqin to eat, or some cousins invited them to go out to play, and they were not idle.

Xu Sizhen couldn't help but be a little depressed.

Xu Sijie asked Xu Sizhen: "Fourth brother, fourth brother, don't be sad." The third brother doesn't play with you, I'll play with you. Then he asked Xi'er to go and get a centipede kite: "...... I'm giving this to you. ”

When spring came, Eleven Niang invited someone to the house to make kites for their two brothers, and let them learn to make kites with them. In order to show his skills, the craftsman brought a kite with a centipede into the house. Xu Sizhen looked rare, but Xu Sijie also liked it, so he gave it to Xu Sijie. Unexpectedly, Xu Sijie gave him the kite again.

He was a little moved, and touched Xu Sijie's head like Eleven Niang: "You keep it!" When the time comes, we'll just put it together! ”

Xu Sijie was still a little reluctant in his heart, but when he saw that Xu Sijie didn't want it, he breathed a sigh of relief, happily let Xi'er accept it, and said, "Then brother, don't be angry." Let's go kite flying! ”

Xu Sichen looked at his eyes full of expectation, and his heart was excited, feeling that Brother Commandment was the best for him in this world. Told him about the flowers sent by Eleven Niang: "...... I'm a little worried. So I want to talk to my mother about it! ”

Xu Sijie listened to him quietly, and when he finished speaking, he nodded very seriously: "Then the fourth brother will talk to his mother!" ”

"But I'm a junior, is it appropriate to say this?"

"Then don't talk about it!" Xu Sijie also agreed.

Xu Sichen couldn't cry or laugh a little: "Hey, do you say it's good, or don't you say it?" ”

Xu Sijie tilted his head and thought for a long time, blinked his big phoenix eyes, and said solemnly: "I listen to the fourth brother!" ”

It's equivalent to not saying.

Seeing his innocent and carefree appearance, Xu Sizhen couldn't help but sigh in frustration, thinking that it would be nice if Xu Sijian was here, and he faintly felt in his heart that even if Xu Sijian was here, I am afraid that he would not be able to understand his contradictory feelings, and he felt even more hesitant in his heart.

Hearing that Eleven Niang called him, he went to Eleven Niang's place a little dazed.

The sun is bright and brilliant in late spring, which warms people's hearts.

The beauty sitting under the flower stand between Eleven Niang and Xu Sizhen leaned on the sun and basked on them, and the mottled broken shadows fell on the two of them.

"Brother Chen, Mother Du told me all your worries." She looked at him with a smile and said straight to the point, "Thank you for giving me a wake-up call." ”

Under the sun, Eleven Niang's gaze was frank and sincere. Xu Sizhen's face turned crimson.

"No, no thanks!" He bowed his head in shame, "I, I...... Mr. Zhao said, I am the son of the Marquis of Yongping, and I will have to take care of my grandmother, mother, elder brother, sister and younger siblings in the future. ”

Eleven Niang took Xu Sizhen in her arms: "Brother Zhen is a good son!" "There was a lot of joy in the relief.

Xu Sizhen raised his head, his eyes were as bright as the morning star, and the corners of his mouth were irrepressibly raised.

"It's really a bit unsafe to send flowers." Eleven Niang said to him carefully, "However, the ladies I sent are all very good friends. Like Mrs. Gan, she is not only the elder of your third aunt, but also the praiser of my time, and has a good personal relationship with us, just like you and Brother Jian'er......"

Xu Sichen listened and nodded slightly.

“…… In addition, there is Grandma Lin, who is your eldest brother-in-law's aunt, Mrs. Huang, and Mrs. Mrs. is a good friend. Eleven Niang smiled, "Because I know these people very well and know that they don't talk nonsense." I dared to give them this flower. ”

Xu Sizhen smiled embarrassedly.

"I, I blame my mother!"

"But Brother Zhen can think of doing things in a low-key manner, and he thinks that someone may use this as a handle to attack our family, and he already has a few shares of the prince's bearing." Eleven Niang smiled and tightened her grip on Xu Sizhen's arm, "Eldest sister knows, I don't know how happy I am." I can rest assured in the future and let Brother Zhen take care of it. ”

Brother Zhen pursed his lips and smiled, and the haze of the past two days was swept away.
