Xu Lingyi is not as arrogant as Master Xiang.

He said softly to Eleven Niang: "Brother Yu is the eldest son, not the second son, according to the convention, it is necessary to divide the house." But after getting married, it is not good to separate out immediately for a while, and you always have to live at home for a few years, so that everyone can get familiar with it. Otherwise, everyone will have their own lives, and they will all feel like they are alive when they see each other, and they will talk about harmony and harmony. So I asked my second sister-in-law to see which of the three young ladies of the Xiang family had the most docile temperament. When such a woman marries, she can take care of her younger siblings, serve in front of you, and set an example for the concubines who enter the mansion later. Second, when he came to divide the house, he would not have too many thoughts about it, and he would have resentment to embarrass his daughter-in-law. Silently, I have carefully considered the matter of the candidate. At that time, I even thought that the three young ladies of the Wanyi family did not meet this article, so I could only give up ......"

Eleven Niang admitted that Xu Lingyi was right. She has no opinion on the second lady - after all, she was only entrusted by Xu Lingyi. As for whether to tell her or not, that is also the second lady's freedom.

What she didn't like was the way Xu Lingyi handled this matter.

I didn't say hello, and I made a decision directly. So what is it?

"Master Hou," Eleven Niang couldn't help but hug her chest with her arms, and said lightly, "The concubine doesn't want to talk to you!" ”

Xu Lingyi froze.

"What?" A face full of disbelief.

Don't talk to him?

He even said bluntly, "Don't talk to him".

It's the first time he's grown up to meet ......

Eleven Niang has turned around. She looked at Xu Lingyi calmly: "Master Hou, you directly decided on the choice of daughter-in-law for Brother Yu's marriage, and you didn't regard the concubine as Brother Yu's mother at all, nor did you regard the concubine as your wife." Although what you said made sense, the concubine still felt angry and hateful. If you continue to talk about it, I'm afraid that there won't be anything good to say, so it's better to stop here, so as not to say sad things that will make each other regret it. After speaking, she turned over and turned her back to Xu Lingyi.

Such an absolute eleven niang made Xu Lingyi a little at a loss for a while, and only after a while did he say: "Silent words, let's talk about something." Putting gas in this way won't solve the problem. ”

"The concubine just doesn't want to be angry with Hou Ye, so she doesn't want to talk to Hou Ye." Shi Niang said softly, "What's more, this matter has been said very clearly, and there is nothing that cannot be solved." ”

Is it true that people with a mild temper will be particularly tough once they get up?

Xu Lingyi thought about it, smiled and leaned sideways on her elbow and called her: "Silent ......"

Eleven Niang closed her mouth and remained silent.

Xu Lingyi continued to call her with a smile: "Silent ......"

It's not something that can be passed with a coax and a tease. This is a matter of principle. If Xu Lingyi can't be made to understand the mistakes he made this time, and he can't use this as a warning to change it, then he will have a kind of habitual thinking when he encounters such a thing in the future, thinking that only he acts reasonably, and it has little to do with whether he discusses it or not, as long as he explains, explains, and teases afterwards.

Eleven Niang got out of bed in a stumbling manner, found a bed quilt from the high cabinet in a single dress, spread it on the big kang near the window, and lay down half-wrapped and half-sided: "Master Hou also rested earlier." The concubine is going to get up tomorrow! ”

Looking at the slightly raised mass on the kang, it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

This matter, although it is not his own. But you can find the second sister-in-law to go to Xiang's house to talk about Xiang, and ask the second sister-in-law to help pick people...... If you let Eleven Niang look at each other again, wouldn't it be a reversal? Not only is he disrespectful to the Xiang family, but he is also dishonest to others!

Now the plan can only make Eleven Niang change her mind!

Xu Lingyi thought about it and squeezed to the kang near the window: "Silent words." Let's talk about it. ”

Eleven Niang ignored him, got up and lay down on the bed.

Xu Lingyi followed again.

Eleven Niang went back to the kang near the window.

After so many rounds, Xu Lingyi sighed helplessly.

Eleven Niang's clothes are thin, and it is not a joke in case she gets cold.

He fell asleep on the kang and left the bed to Eleven Niang.

It was pouring rain outside.

Through the window, the sound of rain was clear, little by little, drop by drop, and finally he fell asleep.

When I woke up the next morning, the young leaves that had just budded were washed clean and clear by the rain, and the heavens and the earth became clear, which made people feel refreshed.

"Ma'am, it's raining." Yan Rong happily came in with his clothes, "The weather will get warmer and warmer!" ”

Eleven Niang nodded with a smile and instructed Yanrong: "Master Hou is still resting, don't let people come in and quarrel with him!" ”

The corners of Yanrong's eyes swept over the big kang near the window, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows did not move, he smiled and went out to tell the little maids to wait outside, and serve Shi Niang to freshen up and go to the hall.

After receiving greetings from the children and aunts, Eleven Niang went to Mrs. Tai.

As soon as she said a few words, the fifth lady came over with Sister Xin in her arms.

After seeing each other, Mrs. Tai asked Du's mother to hug Sister Xin'er.

"Why do you look thinner?" Mrs. Tai frowned slightly.

The fifth lady hurriedly said: "My stomach is a little bad these days. ”

"Please ask Dr. Xie from Tai Hospital to take a look! He is best at seeing pediatric diseases. ”

The fifth lady bends her knees and should "yes".

Mrs. Tai asked Jining: "...... Is the ritual done? ”

"It's done!" The fifth lady said, "It's just that in the future, every first day of the new year, I will send someone to Ciyuan Temple to burn incense." ”

The second lady came.

She politely greeted Eleven Niang and said nothing.

Eleven Niang didn't ask. Mrs. Tai went to the Buddha Hall, and she went to the Flower Hall.

The rain had stopped, and the air was still damp with rain.

The courtyard was full of people.

The mothers of the stewards stood under the eaves, and the maids and mothers-in-law stood in the middle of the courtyard.

Seeing Eleven Niang coming in, all the people were half cut short in unison.

Surrounded by Amber, Green Cloud and other maids, Eleven Niang walked through the courtyard into the flower hall without squinting, and began to listen to the mothers in charge.

The newly appointed mother of the kitchen steward in the inner courtyard, Li Jia, read the matter in her heart three more times, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so she settled down.

Although she is an old man in the house, she has nothing to do with several rooms. If it weren't for the fact that Wanxiang was in charge of the house when the third lady was in charge, Gan Laoquan really had no one available, and it would be impossible for her to help manage the kitchen, and it would be impossible for Gan Laoquan to be tentatively appointed as the housekeeper mother of the kitchen by the fourth lady who is now in charge after Gan Laoquan went to office with the third lady, and it would be impossible to be appointed as the housekeeper mother of the kitchen because of Wanxiang's frivolity. Thinking that the evening fragrance family was sent back to the bowstring alley by the fourth lady...... heard that she was later kicked out of Yanjing, and she was a little trembling when she faced the fourth lady.

When it was her turn to go in and reply, it was already three minutes after the first three quarters. As soon as he finished speaking, Green Cloud came in.

"Madam, the two personal mothers beside the eldest lady of Weibei Hou Mansion have greeted the eldest lady!"

Eleven Niang smiled slightly.

I don't know what these two girls are messing with, Sister Hui'er's mother comes over twice a day.

"Did you send someone to Shaohua Courtyard?"

The green clouds departed.

Seeing that everything was done, Eleven Niang went back to her yard, sat down and began to embroider.

After embroidering half a word, Xu Lingyi came back.

He called Eleven Niang to change his clothes.

Eleven Niang meekly served him to change clothes.

Xu Lingyi asked her, "Why did you come back so early today?" ”

Eleven Niang closed her mouth tightly and remained silent.

Yan Rong saw the eyes of the maid who was busy serving in the house, and tiptoed back.

Xu Lingyi pinched her chin and said with a smile: "What? Don't talk to me! ”

Eleven Niang turned her head, helped him tie the ribbon around his waist, brought a cup of hot tea to Xu Lingyi, and then silently put away the flower stand. shouted Yanrong: "It's not early, I'm going to Mrs. Tai's for lunch." Without waiting for Xu Lingyi, he went out of the inner room by himself.

Xu Lingyi smiled and followed.

When I arrived at Mrs. Tai's place, there were many people, and Eleven Niang was smiling, but no one saw anything unusual.

At night, the two still slept separately.

The next day, Xu Lingyi got up early and called Eleven Niang to serve him to freshen up.

Eleven Niang didn't say a word, helping him pour water and change clothes. When he was eating breakfast, he also helped him bring porridge and put it in front of him as usual.

Xu Lingyi thought it was very interesting.

It's like watching a child sulk.

But gradually, he couldn't laugh anymore.

First of all, Eleven Niang no longer took the initiative to help him serve tea and pour water, and then began to eat his own breakfast, and finally went to Mrs. Tai and didn't call him anymore. His expression grew colder and colder. Then it developed to the point that once he called Eleven Niang to help him change his clothes, but Eleven Niang didn't move, and called Xia Yi to come in. The atmosphere between the two is no longer as warm and peaceful as before, full of indifference and alienation.

Xu Lingyi felt that things were worse than she imagined.

He was in the east, and she was in the west. He's on the left, she's on the right. Sometimes he took the initiative to sit down and want to say something to her, but she did not leave her hand, and was engrossed in needlework, as if she had not noticed his existence at all.

Xu Lingyi thought about it and talked about what she was very concerned about before.

"Do you remember the Ou family?"

Eleven Niang didn't make a sound, but Xu Lingyi paused when she found her hand holding the needle.

He breathed a sigh of relief. I think I chose the right topic.

"I've always wondered. The sixth prince born to the imperial concubine was so young, how could the Ou family make a move at this time. Even if the emperor and queen are out of harmony, as long as the queen doesn't make any mistakes, the eldest son and the third son of the emperor will be solid. In doing so, they are completely reckless. ”

Shi Niang lowered her head, and the flying needle walked the line, and she couldn't see anything unusual.

“…… Later, Feng Qing's matter, the Ou family behaved very ruthlessly. When it came time to attack me for 'failing in virtue', the methods changed a little - a little less vicious and a little more sophisticated. I thought it was strange at the time. There is no rule in how the district family acts. So this time, the eldest son of the emperor chose a concubine, and specially instructed Ma Zuowen to write back to me when he arrived. Guess what I found? ”

Eleven Niang turned a deaf ear, pulled the silk thread, squinted her eyes and threaded the needle.

Xu Lingyi was slightly disappointed, but still said: "I found the candidate for the eldest princess recommended this time very interesting. The Yang family recommended all those who had a good relationship with them. The Ou family is a little different. Only the daughters of two world friends are recommended. There are also two families, which are recommended by people from the Ministry of Rites on the surface, but if you check carefully, they have a faint relationship with the Ou family......"

The selection of concubines by the eldest son of the emperor involves temples. It is already false and real, real and false. The Ou family will naturally make foreshadowing, this is for sure, what is there to say.

Eleven Niang slandered in her heart.

Quietly bow your head and embroider.
