Chapter 230: Birth and Death (Part II)
Amber looked at Eleven Niang.
I saw her hanging her head slightly, showing a thoughtful expression.
She couldn't help but shout: "Madam......"
Eleven Niang was slightly startled, looked up and smiled: "What's wrong?" ”
"The second young master is going to be sick...... "If you don't know, it's okay, now you know, if you just let it go, I'm afraid that there will be gossip." But in front of Brother Zhen and the room full of maids, she couldn't say it clearly.
Seeing Amber's frowning slightly, Eleven Niang naturally knew what she was worried about, and said with a smile: "You go and help me invite Manager Bai here!" ”
Amber's eyes flashed with a hint of bewilderment, but she still obeyed.
Over there, Brother Zhen was feeding water to Xu Sijie to drink.
A little maid came in and said, "Madam, the eldest young master, the second young master, and the third young master are here!" ”
The corners of Eleven Niang's eyebrows are slightly raised.
I didn't expect it to come so quickly.
If it is replaced by yourself, since it has been discovered by adults, it is better to take the initiative to admit your mistake.
I just don't know who the one who made the idea.
"Please come in, three young masters!" Eleven Niang instructed the little maid.
The little maid answered the call and invited the three of them in.
Seeing that Brother Zhen and Xu Sijie were nested next to Eleven Niang, Xu Siqin and Xu Sijie both showed a few surprises, only Xu Siyu smiled lightly and looked calm.
The three of them saluted, and before Eleven Niang could speak, Xu Siqin said, "Fourth aunt, this matter is all my fault." Please don't tell my father and uncle about my fourth aunt. We know it's wrong. On the day of the Lantern Festival, I will stay at home obediently. ”
Xu Sijian also nodded again and again: "Fourth aunt, we promise not to go out." ”
Eleven Niang motioned to the little maid to bring the brocade over, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case." Then I don't know. But you must also keep your promises, and don't hide from the little people around you and the nursing home and go out of the house alone. ”
The trio should say "yes".
Xu Siqin instructed Brother Zhen again and asked him not to talk about this matter: "...... So as not to worry my grandmother. ”
Brother Zhen naturally nodded in agreement.
Eleven Niang invited them to sit down, and the little maid served tea.
Brother Zhen only dared to say hello to the three brothers at this time.
Xu Sijian pointed to Xu Sijian: "You lead him to play every day?" ”
Brother Zhen nodded: "I'll tell the story to the fifth brother!" "It's very proud.
Xu Sijian grinned.
Amber came in, saw that Xu Siqin and the three of them were there, hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and said with a smile: "Madam, Manager Bai is here!" ”
She said it with a bit of skill.
Said that the white manager came, not by order. It should be that Xu Siqin and the three of them were present.
Eleven Niang nodded secretly in her heart, and got up with a smile: "You brothers sit down, I'll go and see what's going on with Mr. Bai." We'll go to Mrs. Tai later. ”
A few smiled in response, and she went to the hall.
Mr. Bai bowed to her from afar.
Eleven Niang walked over: "Manager Bai, there is something I need your help with." ”
Manager Bai looked at her with a solemn expression, standing there with her eyes drooping, and her attitude was very respectful.
Eleven Niang told him about Xu Siqin and the three of them getting the clothes worn by the little ones in the house: "...... If it's just children playing, it won't be a bit of a fuss if you tell Hou Ye. But if you really have this heart, if something happens, I'm afraid that you will regret it. So I want to ask Mr. Bai to send someone to keep an eye on them quietly. It took the Lantern Festival to become successful. lest anything come into trouble. ”
Mr. Bai's expression grew cold when he listened, and he bowed down and replied, "Madame, don't worry. The little ones get it. As he spoke, his tone paused slightly, "It's just that it's not a matter of always guarding against it like this." I'm afraid it's better to talk to Hou Ye. ”
He was reminding Eleven Niang that since she suspected that the three young masters did not prepare this dress for all kinds of diseases, then they should push out the responsibility as soon as possible.
Eleven Niang did this with a purpose.
The three children came to beg her one after another, if she refused, she would inevitably have a gap in the future, so as soon as Xu Siqin spoke, she immediately responded. After the Lantern Festival, she found another opportunity to tell Xu Lingyi as a joke. Even if you don't lose your trust, you don't have to guard against it every day.
But when she heard Manager Bai's reminder, she was still very grateful: "How can I have the Lantern Festival!" ”
My own words have already been clicked, as for whether to listen to it or not is another matter.
Manager Bai didn't say anything anymore, and said with a smile: "The little one went out to get busy." ”
Eleven Niang nodded, let Amber send off Mr. Bai, returned to the house and said with a smile: "It's not too early, let's go to Mrs. Tai!" ”
Everyone responded "yes", got off the kang and put on shoes, put on cloaks, and a group of people went to Mrs. Tai.
Rumors spread outside, Mrs. Tai has closed the door to thank guests, and all the family contacts have been handed over to the third lady, and I am afraid that there will be those who don't know the severity of the bastard words to make Eleven Niang unhappy, so she proposed to let Eleven Niang accompany her, but only let her stay in the morning and dusk, and stay in her own yard the rest of the time, so that Eleven Niang can be idle.
Seeing that Eleven Niang brought the children over, she smiled, and when everyone sat down, she asked Brother Zhen: "Tell Brother Jie's story again?" ”
For Brother Zhen to run to Eleven Niang every afternoon, Mrs. Tai has a supportive attitude. The mother and son can get along in harmony with each other silently in such a drizzle, which is exactly what Mrs. Tai dreamed of.
Xu Siqin's expressions tightened, and it was not until Brother Zhen nodded that he breathed a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Tai smiled with satisfaction, and a little servant ran in: "There is a holy decree coming." ”
Everyone was stunned.
Mrs. Tai got up, and while telling Eleven Niang to go and change her dress, she asked Mother Du to send someone in to change her clothes, and sent someone to the back garden to pay homage to Mrs. Five.
The crowd went their separate ways.
When I returned to the courtyard, I met Xu Lingyi, who was changing into court clothes.
Seeing that Eleven Niang's expression was a little solemn, he smiled and comforted Eleven Niang: "It's okay." Fireworks were set off on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the palace, and the emperor asked us to join in the fun. ”
Shi Niang thought of Ma Zuowen of the pedestrian division...... It should have been him who handed over the message to Xu Lingyi in advance. settled down and went to the small courtyard behind the main hall with Xu Lingyi.
As soon as he stood still, Mrs. Tai, Xu Lingkuan, Mrs. Five, Master Sanye and Mrs. Yu arrived.
Everyone knelt down and listened to the order.
As Xu Lingyi said, the emperor announced that Xu Lingyi, Mrs. Tai, and Eleven Niang entered the palace to watch the fireworks on the fifteenth day of the first month.
The Xu family thanked them, and the Xu brothers accompanied the inner servant He Gonggong who came to deliver the decree to the outer courtyard, and the third lady patted her chest and breathed a long sigh: "Scare me a lot." ”
The fifth lady muttered: "Why did the emperor suddenly think of letting us enter the palace to watch the fireworks? ”
Mrs. Tai's eyes also flashed with confusion, but she smiled with a smile as if the world was peaceful: "The fifteenth day of the first month of the first month of the year when the emperor first ascended the throne also announced that we would enter the palace to watch the fireworks. Xu is the emperor is interested again this year. ”
Neither the third lady nor the fifth lady was relieved by Mrs. Tai's explanation, and everyone went back to the house to change their clothes.
When Xu Lingyi came back in the evening, Eleven Niang couldn't help but pull him and ask, "...... Will it be a Hongmen feast? ”
Xu Lingyi smiled when he heard this: "I am now a fish and meat, and the emperor doesn't need to hold a banquet for me." He added, "By the way, I met Shi Zheng two days ago, and he said that several princesses praised you in front of the eldest princess. Say that you have a gentle temperament, calm and introverted. This time when I entered the palace, I had to deal with several princesses. You should be more respectful. To know. Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. Several princesses are talkative people. ”
It means that the princesses are very gossipy people, right?
Eleven Niang couldn't help laughing: "The concubine knows!" Turning around, Amber arranged for someone to stare at the three brothers Xu Siqin: "...... I was going to watch them myself. As a result, on the fifteenth day of the first month, he was going to the palace. You're going to have to keep an eye on me. No matter what, it can't happen that day. ”
Amber knew that it was powerful, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, madam, I have told a few young masters who are serving around me." Unless none of them want to live. Otherwise, he would never let a few young masters leave his eyes. ”
Launched in full force, if this still allows the three of them to slip away, then she admits defeat.
Eleven Niang relaxed slightly.
Either the matter was exposed and gave up, or there was no chance to keep an eye on it, and Xu Siqin's three-person alliance collapsed. Although Xu Siqin and Xu Siyu were often together, Xu Sijian began to follow Brother Zhen to Shi Niang's side. Eleven Niang will prepare some sweet orange water, rice wine or osmanthus nectar and other soup tea for them, and will also clean up the furnishings of the hall for them to kick shuttlecocks, jump Baisuo or juju, and occasionally Eleven Niang will change her jacket and play with them for a while.
Xu Sijian looked very proud: "Fourth aunt, now you also have a handle in our hands!" ”
Eleven Niang smiled and "bah" him: "Ran to me to intercede, who came up with the idea?" ”
Xu Sijian smiled "hehe": "It's the second brother." Preemptively, he said. We admit that we are wrong, you can't always fight to the end. really made the second brother right. ”
Eleven Niang smiled slightly, and persuaded Xu Sijian softly: "When I was as old as you, I didn't go out to play. But you have to tell the adults in the family. Adults have seen more than you and will arrange things well......" and gave many examples of children being lost or abducted - these are all collected by her boss Bai, all of them are real people and real things, and there are examples to check, "If you don't believe it, you sent the little maid around you to ask." ”
Xu Sijian touched his head embarrassedly when he heard this: "I didn't believe it." It was the eldest brother who said that he didn't want to be followed by a large group, and it was inconvenient to go anywhere. The second brother came up with this idea. ”
It's Xu Siyu again, but I didn't expect him to be quite smart.
"A gentleman is frank and open-minded, and he has nothing to say to others. What's inconvenient? Eleven Niang smiled and touched his head.
Brother Zhen nodded when he listened, and Xu Sijian smiled with a red face.
People come to play, but they don't come to listen to their own reprimands.
Eleven Niang immediately changed the topic with a smile: "Brother Jian Juju is really good, who did you learn from?" ”
"Second brother!" Xu Sijian said with a smile.
"Oh!" Shi Niang was a little surprised, "Do you know who Brother Yu learned from?" ”
Xu Sijian blinked his eyes and whispered mysteriously, "Fourth aunt guess." ”
Eleven Niang laughed: "You second aunt! ”
Xu Sijian looked at Eleven Niang with his mouth open.
Looking at the entire Xu Mansion, apart from the second lady, who else has the courage to learn the game played by men......
"Fourth aunt, you are so smart." Xu Sijian smiled, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, "Why don't we play shuttlecock in the competition?" ”
Eleven Niang is embarrassed.
She didn't have any sports cells in her previous life, and she relied on the teacher to pass every physical education exam with a blind eye. In this life, I don't know if it's a psychological reason or a habit problem, she is also very clumsy - even Xu Sijie can kick seven or eight shuttlecocks in one go, and she can kick two at most.

It's so depressing! It turned out that he was going to speed up this month, but who knew that the new leader would be powerful and began to burn the "three fires". Not to mention the increased workload, I still have to study in the evenings...... I've gone from anger to helplessness ......~~~~~~~~
