Chapter 679: Walking (Medium)

Shi Niang thought about it and said with a smile: "Since you are here to accompany me, you will live in the west wing of the backyard!" ”

Generally, families with daughters will arrange for their daughters to live in the west wing of the backyard.

Amber smiled and said yes, and discussed with her how to arrange the house, how many mothers-in-law, a few maids, and so on, and diverted the topic.

In the evening, I went to greet Mrs. Tai, and Eleven Niang asked Brother Xu, "Is Jiayuguan fun?" ”

"Fun, fun!" Brother Xu'er nodded again and again.

It has been two days since he came back, and the excitement of the long trip has not faded, and whoever mentions Jiayuguan with him, he will talk endlessly about what he has seen and heard in Jiayuguan.

"Their walls are so high." He ran from one end of the house to the other with his arms outstretched, and "the plaque is so long," and ran from one end to the other. "I can't see the turret when I look up...... There was wind and sand everywhere...... Cover your face with a veil...... Lamb is delicious...... I also saw people with yellow hair and green eyes...... Camel ......"

Everyone laughed and listened to him.

Xu Lingkuan saw that it was not too early, and pulled his collar with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's go and rest!" I'll talk about that tomorrow. ”

Brother Xu'er saluted Mrs. Tai in amazement.

Eleven Niang went out with them, and asked Brother Xu'er with a smile: "It's so fun outside the gate, why don't you go with Brother Jin'er." With your fourth uncle here, are you still afraid of being taken captive? ”

"It's Daddy who won't let me." Brother Xu'er was very aggrieved and pouted, "Said that they went too far and pulled me back." ”

Eleven Niang smiled and looked at Xu Lingkuan.

Xu Lingkuan's face was flushed: "Fourth sister-in-law, yes, it's the fourth brother who won't let me say it." I'm afraid you're worried...... It's okay, it's okay, the fourth brother just took Brother Jin to the place where he was stationed back then. The general soldier of Jiayuguan will accompany him personally, and he will be fine. ”

She knew how Xu Lingyi could spend the New Year in Xuantong Mansion because of Fan Weigang's retention.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but worry.

In winter, the grasslands have little food and clothing, and they like to attack those border guards in winter. Will they encounter any danger when they get out of the customs? Moreover, Xu Lingyi fought in the northwest back then, for Da Zhou, he was a hero, and for those people in the northwest, he was an enemy who did not share the sky.

"Why don't you persuade your fourth brother. This is no joke. She couldn't help but sink her face, "What if there are three long and two short?" ”

Xu Lingkuan muttered, unable to say a word.

The fifth lady, who listened to the scene clearly, couldn't help but get anxious and blamed Xu Lingkuan: "Why are you so confused." The fourth brother doesn't listen to you, don't you know how to write a letter and come back to tell your mother? I ran back without saying a word, and helped the fourth brother hide it from his family. You, how do you let me say hello! ”

Eleven Niang is a sister-in-law, just say a few words about him. This is his wife, Xu Lingkuan couldn't help but argue: "The matter has come to this, if I don't help the fourth brother hide it, will I still tell my mother?" If my mother has something, I will be responsible for my death. ”

The fifth lady ignored him and discussed directly with Eleven Niang: "Fourth sister-in-law, what the fifth master said makes sense." It's come to this, I don't think I can let my mother know about this matter anyway......"

If she didn't want to hide it from Mrs. Tai, how could she ask Brother Jin when she went out.

"That's what I thought too." Eleven Niang sighed and asked Xu Lingkuan, "When will Master Hou come back?" Where are you going? ”

Xu Lingkuan smiled: "I'm afraid I won't leave until the beginning of spring next year." As for where to go, the fourth brother didn't tell me. ”

Shi Niang pondered for a moment and said, "I want to write a letter to your fourth brother, how can he receive it." ”

"It's ready to be sent to Jiayuguan!" Xu Lingkuan said with a smile, "The chief soldier of Jiayuguan turned out to be the fourth brother's general. Then comforted her, "Fourth sister-in-law, don't worry, the general soldier of Jiayuguan knows that Brother Jin is the youngest son of the fourth brother, and even if he loses the fourth brother, he won't dare to let people hurt Brother Jin'er...... hair."

Where is this comforting!

The fifth lady hurriedly separated Xu Lingkuan: "Fifth master, the fourth sister-in-law knows that the fourth brother has gone to Guanwai, and she is worried, so it is only right for you to ask the fourth sister-in-law to write a letter first, and then send someone to Jiayuguan as soon as possible." It's not early, and if you continue to talk about it, the day will be bright, and it will be delayed for another day. In a few days, it will be a small year, and if you don't have the money at that time, you won't be able to find the person who sent the letter. ”

"yes, yes!" Xu Lingkuan listened and hurriedly said, "Fourth sister-in-law, write a letter quickly." Maybe the fourth brother received your letter and changed his mind again. ”

Even if you change your mind, you won't be able to rush back for the New Year.

Eleven Niang sighed secretly in her heart. I told Xu Lingkuan that I would come early tomorrow morning to get the letter, and hurried back to the house.

Xu Lingkuan looked at her distant back and couldn't help but say, "How does the fourth sister-in-law know that the fourth brother is not with Fan Weigang?" ”

* * * * * *

Eleven Niang almost didn't sleep all night. Early the next morning, Amber sent the letter to the Fifth Lady.

Xu Si came over to say hello, and saw that she was not in good spirits, so she asked her to come in with a cup of hot goat's milk: "Mother should drink less hot tea." He added, "Every year the New Year is according to the old practice, and those who have the least experience in housekeeping are also ten years old, and they know what to do with their eyes closed." Mother drink hot goat's milk and rest! The New Year's sacrifice to the ancestors, the New Year, early in the morning to enter the palace to congratulate, you are not good for these days, what to do at that time! She had to take a break, "I'll come to see you after school!" ”

Eleven Niang couldn't bear to brush off his kindness, so she asked the little maid to take the futon and lay on the big kang near the window, and lay down on the big kang. Xu Sijie watched her drink goat's milk before going to school.

"The fifth young master is really filial." Amber smiled, "I hope your wish will come true!" ”

It's Yingniang's business!

Eleven Niang just laughed.

A little maid came in: "Madam, the third young grandmother of the Liang family is here." ”

Rantei?

Eleven Niang hurriedly sat up: "Please come in!" ”

The little maid went in response, and walked in with Lan Ting, who was wearing a red Jintong sleeve jacket.

"In broad daylight, why did you lie down?" Seeing the quilt on the kang, she was slightly stunned, "Where are you uncomfortable?" ”

"It's fine!" Eleven Niang invited her to sit on the Taishi chair, "I didn't sleep well yesterday, so I'm going to lie down for a while." ”

Lan Tingchang breathed a sigh of relief and took the little maid's tea.

Mrs. Liang contracted a wind chill last winter, and it has not been well to this day. The middle feed of the Liang family was presided over by Lan Ting.

"Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, why do you have time to come to me?" Eleven Niang said.

The two met before they left the cabinet, and they were both straightforward people, so they didn't have so many politeness.

"Don't you have a house in Goldfish Lane? I want to rent your house. You see how much money is appropriate. ”

Eleven Niang was taken aback: "What are you renting a house for?" ”

Yanjingju, although it is not easy. But whether it is the Liang family or the Gan family, a small mansion can still be vacated.

"It's my third sister." Lanting treats Eleven Niang as her best friend, and the shameful things at home are never whitewashed in front of her, "She thought that she would take her son Brother Wen back to Yanjing after the New Year." ”

"What's going on?" Eleven Niang couldn't help but shake Lan Ting's hand tightly.

Lan Ting smiled bitterly: "My third sister doesn't want to see those dirty things at home, and when the child was three years old, she moved back to the Grange because she was in poor health to recuperate. The first two years were okay, the Jiang family sent food and clothing on time, and the third sister planted flowers and grass in the yard and taught the children to read and write, which can be regarded as self-enjoyment. But since the old lady of the Jiang family went three years ago, the Jiang family's money has been delayed again and again, and the year before last, he even said that he couldn't afford it, so he asked the third sister and the child to move back to the old house to live. The third sister thought that the child was old and wanted to study and enlighten, so she couldn't live in the Grange like her. I went back. Speaking of this, Lan Ting paused, "Who knew that my brother-in-law actually accepted a Qinglou woman in the house." The third sister was afraid that Brother Wen would do the same and would sell the woman. My brother-in-law simply kept the woman outside. My sister saw that the family was already in a miasma, and she was ruthless, and said in front of the Jiang family that she would take Brother Wen back to Yanjing Province, but she was actually going to live in Yanjing for a long time, and then find a better gentleman for Brother Wen, and then think about whether to return to Jian'an. He added, "You also know that my side is really inconvenient." Don't mention it, so I have to come to beg you! ”

After the defeat of the Jianning Hou Yang family, the Yang family, the third young grandmother of the Liang family, died of depression within two years. As soon as the filial piety period expired, the third young master of the Liang family continued the strings. Not to mention the appearance of this new third grandmother, she is seven or eight years younger than Liang Sangongzi, Liang Sangongzi has suffered from a fear of guilt since then, and she has also raised the three grandmothers very well. A pair of eyes stared at Lan Ting, wishing that she had something wrong. If Cao E lives in the Liang family's house, it is rent, but I am afraid that she will be said to be taking advantage. As for Mrs. Gan, when Cao E was not married, she wished she would marry quickly, and now that she is married, she will not be kept.

"The house is renovated every two years. Furnished once and furnished once. Furnish once and change things once. Those calligraphy and painting utensils, tables, chairs, and stools are everywhere, and it is not enough for the seven back cover rooms to be made into warehouses. It looks big, but there is not much that can be done for you. Eleven Niang muttered, "I still have a small house in Si'er Hutong. Although there are only two into three rooms, they are small and exquisite, and they are quiet in the middle of noisy. If you want to rent a house, you might as well rent the one I have in Si'er Hutong! ”

I have long heard that the business of Eleven Niang Xipu is good, but I didn't expect her to buy a house in Si'er Hutong.

"That's too expensive, we can't afford to rent it." Lan Ting said calmly, "And I took a fancy to your house over there in Goldfish Lane, also because you still have a companion room to live there." The third sister is there, and there is also someone to take care of. ”

But the four stone piers under the grape trellis in the courtyard are all antiques from the previous dynasty, Liu Yuanrui's family lives there, that is, a warehousekeeper, how can she rent that house to Cao E!

She thought for a moment, "Otherwise." The eldest son of my companion Liu Yuanrui's family became a relative, and a family of seven or eight was crowded there, and he told me a few days ago that he wanted to add a step back. It's better to rent you only the main room and the kitchenette behind the main house, and you only pay for three rooms. The eldest son of Liu Yuanrui's family moved to live in the inverted seat. In this way, not only has the matter of rent been solved, but I don't have to add a regression, and Sister Cao E also has a bold person. What do you think? ”

Si'er Hutong is near the Yamen of the Sixth Ministry, and most of the officials living in the Sixth Ministry. Not to mention quiet, there is no white ding, a woman like Cao E with a young child, it is most suitable to live there.

Lan Ting knew that Eleven Niang was helping her, but there was no way to refuse.

She didn't say anything, just nodded towards Eleven Niang.
