Hearing that her daughter wanted to see her, the eldest lady hurriedly responded, "No need to change the day." You went back to Yuanniang, and I will be there tomorrow afternoon. ”

Tao's mother answered "yes", called the accompanying maid in, and presented the gift from Luo Yuanniang: "Some medicinal materials, the eldest lord, the eldest lady to replenish the body." ”

The eldest lady smiled and asked Mother Xu to accept it.

Coral has already brought the brocade pestle: "Mother Tao, please take a seat." ”

Tao's mother even said "don't dare", postponed it again and again, and said: "The eldest lady is tired all the way, and our wife is waiting for me to reply." I'll go back first, and I'll pick up the eldest lady tomorrow. ”

The eldest lady thought for a moment and said, "The coming day will be long." It's good for you to go back and report to Yuan Niang and let her be at ease. ”

When Tao's mother heard this, she got up to say goodbye, and Xu's mother personally sent her out.

The eldest lord stood up: "Let's all go and rest." We'll have dinner together in the evening. ”

Everyone in the house said "yes", Mother Xu, Coral and others stayed to serve the eldest lady to freshen up, and Luo Zhenxing and the eldest grandmother took the others out of the door.

A fat woman stood under the eaves with a smile and waited, and when she saw them come out, she stepped forward to salute Luo Zhenxing, and said to the eldest grandmother: "Grandma, the young lady's residence has been cleaned up, and the eldest lady's cages have been unloaded, and the number is right, but I don't know which ones are from which house......"

This woman's surname is Hang, and she is the grandmother's companion and her right-hand mother.

The eldest grandmother smiled at Wu Niang and Eleven Niang when she heard this: "Yanjing is not as small as Yuhang, and the house is a little smaller." My father and mother lived in the main house, and I put you in the back room. Please don't dislike the two younger sisters, and stay first. ”

Her smile was kind and her language was soft, which made Eleven Niang secretly praise in her heart.

The Gu family is worthy of being born in Jiangnan, although he knows that the eldest lady is sweet on the outside and bitter on the inside for these concubines, but she is still gentle and generous, and she does not lose the bearing of a woman from a family.

Eleven Niang smiled at the eldest grandmother and thanked her: "Thank you sister-in-law!" ”

Wu Niang took the grandmother's hand: "Look at what my sister-in-law said, are we all people who don't know the severity?" This house is all so big, my father and mother live in the main house, we live in the back room, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law will live in the upside down. The inverted seat sits in the north and faces south, cold in winter and hot in summer, and close to the outer courtyard, noisy and noisy...... The eldest brother wants to study again......" said, already in tears, "Sister-in-law said this, which made us really embarrassed." ”

The eldest grandmother was quite moved when she heard this.

It's hard for Wu Niang to know how good she is. also pointed out her hard work in front of her husband Luo Zhenxing...... No wonder everyone says that Wu Niang is smart and clever, and she is really likable.

There was more intimacy in her smile: "Sister, don't say that." You are boudoir women, no more than us, you can live next to the outer courtyard! ”

When Luo Zhenxing heard Wu Niang say this, his face was soothed, and there was a smile in his eyes: "Okay, my sisters have been tossed on the road for more than a month, and the eleventh sister is still seasick." Take them to rest. ”

The eldest grandmother respectfully responded "yes", and the tenth mother and eleventh niang saluted Luo Zhenxing, greeted the sixth aunt, and went to the back room with the eldest grandmother. Then Luo Zhenxing also went out of the weeping flower door and returned to the inverted seat room where he lived.

Mother Jiang called Ziwei in Wu Niang's house and Amber in Eleven Niang's house to follow Hang's mother to divide the cage.

******

The main room of the back cover room is the same as the main house of the main courtyard, five rooms, each with an ear room, three east and west wing rooms, each with an ear room, but there is no fish tank and flower stand in the main house in the yard, and the locust tree in front of the steps has also been replaced with a weeping willow.

The eldest grandmother smiled: "You see where you like, you will choose one!" ”

Wu Niang hurriedly said: "Sister pick first!" It doesn't matter where I live! ”

Eleven Niang didn't say much, and said with a smile: "My sister is older, then I'll live in the west room!" ”

"How can that work?" Wu Niang smiled, "Your body is still weak, so let's live in the east room!" ”

"I got off the boat and just fed up. It's not a big deal! Eleven Niang smiled, "My sister still lives in the east room, and I live in the west room!" ”

Wu Niang still has to push. The eldest grandmother has smiled and said: "You don't have to push around, I see, as the eleventh sister said, she is a younger sister and lives in the west room, you are a sister and lives in the east room!" ”

Eleven Niang smiled: "Just like what my sister-in-law said!" As he spoke, he was already panting and looking struggling.

The eldest grandmother took the opportunity to say goodbye: "You guys rest!" I'll go first. Dinner is also prepared. ”

The two sent the eldest grandmother out: "Let my sister-in-law do the work." ”

"I'm a sister-in-law, so why bother with it." She went out with a smile, and Wu Niang and Eleven Niang went back to the house. Eleven Niang smiled bitterly at Wu Niang: "Sister, I'm going to rest......"

"There you go!" Wu Niang smiled and turned around and went to the east room, without a word of polite greetings.

Ziyuan hurriedly followed Wu Niang into the house.

Eleven Niang looked at Wu Niang's back and smiled helplessly.

Since she revealed her intention to be interested in Luo Yuanniang, Wu Niang has been faintly hostile to her. If you really want to fight with her...... I'm afraid, I will hate it to the bone!

"Miss, Miss Five......" Holly also saw something famous, "you have to find a chance to explain to her." Otherwise, this misunderstanding will get deeper and deeper! ”

"I know what I know." Eleven Niang didn't want to talk about these things.

Now that the situation is unclear, it's better not to act rashly!

She was helped back to the house by Holly.

There is a big kang near the window in the west room, there are a few small ones on the left and right, covered with scarlet felt carpets, and four Taishi chairs on the left and right, which are arranged into a banquet place. There is a bookcase in the window, a bookshelf in the left hall, a small eight-step bed in the middle of the room, and a small warm pavilion at the back.

Eleven Niang looked very satisfied.

It would be even more perfect if Wu Niang didn't live next door!

She thought to herself.

Holly and Binju looked at each other: "What kind of arrangement is this?" There is a small pavilion behind the bed, and there is no brazier, but it is warm. He reached out again to touch the big kang near the window, "It's also hot." ”

Eleven Niang smiled: "The south is different from the north. If the south is damp, you have to live upstairs, and if it is cold in the north, you have to sleep on the fire. ”

"How does Miss know?" Qiu Ju sat on the bed in the warm pavilion with a smile.

"You know it by reading the book!" The introverted Zhu Xiang looked very excited, more than usual, "Miss has read so many books, of course she knows everything!" ”

Of course, she didn't know it by reading books, but what she had seen and encountered with her own eyes when she traveled south and north before......

Eleven Niang smiled but did not answer, and a little maid came in and said, "Miss Eleven, the sixth aunt is here." ”

Everyone was stunned.

The sixth aunt has opened the curtain and entered.

"Miss Eleven!" She greeted Eleven Niang with a smile.

Holly smiled and stood aside.

"Why is my aunt here!" Eleven Niang replied with a smile, "Come inside and have a cup of tea!" ”

Qiu Ju hurriedly brought the pestle to the sixth aunt, and Holly found a wooden bucket with warm water in the corner of the second room to make tea for the sixth aunt.

The sixth aunt smiled and waved her hand: "I won't sit anymore, and I will serve the eldest lady to rest later." I just came to ask," she hesitated for a moment, and the smile on her face became a little bitter, "I just want to ask Miss Twelve, how is she?" ”

Eleven Niang secretly sighed in her heart.

The mother of the child is worried. When she went out, the fifth aunt cried a lot, and in the same way, the sixth aunt was thinking about the young twelve aunts here, but she was afraid that she was also tossing and turning!

"Very good!" Eleventh Niang has always felt that the sixth aunt is a very smart person, "Some time ago, I embroidered screens at home every day, the fifth sister and the tenth mother often went to the mother to do their filial piety, the twelfth sister sometimes went to the mother to accompany the sister to talk and laugh, the twelfth sister also made silk flowers with silk yarn to give to the mother, the mother couldn't tell the real from the fake...... Very skillful. ”

The sixth aunt breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Then I won't bother Miss Eleven." Speaking of which, my fifth aunt and I have also lived in the same room for five or six years, and if you have any problems, just come to me. ”

"Thank you, auntie." Eleventh Niang didn't know that the sixth aunt came to her, and the eldest lady knew if she didn't know, and she was afraid that the fifth lady would see it, so she naturally didn't dare to keep her, so she excused herself to be dizzy and asked Holly to send the sixth aunt out.

The sixth aunt had just left and came back with the amber in the cage.

Holly first opened the cage containing the futon, then made the bed in the warm pavilion, fetched water to serve Shi Niang to wash and rest, and let Zhu Xiang guard her, and then the two of them took Binju and Qiu Ju to open the cage and pick up things.

******

Eleven Niang fell asleep and got up lightly.

She looked at her face carefully in the mirror: "Have I gained weight again?" ”

"My face is so thin that it's only the size of a palm," Holly was inserting two pomegranate flowers the size of a fingernail into Eleven Niang's hair, "See if you're still shouting to lose weight?" ”

Eleven Niang pursed her lips and smiled.

Amber urged Eleven Niang to leave quickly: "I saw that Miss Fifth had already left for the eldest lady." ”

Eleven Niang didn't dare to look in the mirror again, put on a rose red squirrel skin cloak and hurriedly walked towards the eldest lady, and finally caught up with Wu Niang before she entered the door, and entered the house with her one after the other.

The two stood in front of the curtain of the door and were served by the maid to untie their cloaks, and Wu Niang looked at Eleven Niang with a smile: "I can't see it, my sister is sick and her hands and feet are so fast!" ”

Eleven Niang looked at Wu Niang with a smile and said angrily: "It's all my sister's fault that she didn't call me when she left!" ”

Wu Niang smiled coldly, and wanted to say something, but the curtain had been lifted over there, and Coral came out and smiled: "The eldest lady is waiting for the two young ladies!" ”

The two men stopped talking and went into the house one after the other.

In the second room of the feast, a square table with black lacquer and eight rose chairs with scarlet cushions were set up, and the dishes were all arranged. A few little maids stood under the curtain, and Mother Xu, Luo Qiao, Tortoiseshell and others gathered in front of the big kang near the window—Brother Xu's cheerful laughter came from there from time to time.

"Big lady, Miss Fifth and Miss Eleven are here!" Coral said with a smile. The crowd dispersed, and Eleven Niang saw the eldest man and the eldest lady sitting on the big kang left and right, and the kang table in the middle had long been moved to where it had been moved.

"Alright, alright." The eldest man smiled and hugged Brother Xu, "Let's go to dinner!" ”

Brother Xu looked unsatisfied, twisting his body and turning his head.

Luo Zhenxing, who was standing on the side, made a straight face: "Don't stand up for me yet." ”

Brother Xuan really didn't dare to make any more trouble when he heard this, and obediently lay on the eldest master and didn't dare to move.

The eldest lady over there smiled while being served by Du Wei and putting on shoes: "I'm not afraid of scaring the child!" ”

When Brother Yu heard this, he immediately raised his head from the arms of the eldest man and looked at the eldest lady pitifully.

The eldest lady stretched out her hand and hugged Brother Wu in her arms: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, there is a grandmother!" ”

Luo Zhenxing looked at his mother with some tears and laughter, and stopped talking.

The eldest grandmother looked at it and hurriedly shifted her gaze: "Dad, mother, take a seat!" Presumably the two younger sisters are hungry too! ”

Everyone's attention was really diverted, and the eldest lady even complained: "Why are you here now?" ”

Wu Niang smiled: "Wait for my sister!" ”

Eleven Niang was surprised: "I'm sleeping late!" ”

The eldest lady laughed: "It's an honest one! ”

Eleven Niang lowered her head with a red face, causing everyone to laugh.

(For the sake of being so diligent, everyone should support it...... ）
