Chapter 229: Birth and Death (I)
"Brother again!" Xu Si's bird-like voice carried a little coquettishness.
"What are you talking about?" Brother Chen's voice was gentle and submissive.
"Talk about moving!"
It is the story of Meng's mother's three moves.
"Talk about pears!"
It is the story of Kong Rong Rang Pear.
"Sleep!"
is the story of Huang Xiang Wenxi.
Eleven Niang was flying needles and threads on the side, listening to the children's immature voices, and her mood was unprecedented peace and tranquility.
"Brother Commandment." She raised her head and looked at Xu Sijie with a smile, "Brother is tired, you go and pour a cup of tea for your brother." ”
The heir commanded a bone to get up and get off the kang.
"No, no." Brother Zhen waved his hand again and again, and his face was slightly red.
Binju, who was sitting on the pestle in front of the kang and doing Xu Sijie's spring clothes, hurriedly put down the needle and thread in his hand, hugged Xu Sijie while saying with a smile: "The slave maid is going to pour a cup of tea." ”
"Let Brother Jiego away!" Eleven Niang smiled, "He made my brother's mouth dry, so what's the harm in helping my brother pour a glass of water." He also instructed Binju, "You go with you, be careful not to burn it." Just pour warm water, no need to make tea. It's not good for children to drink too much tea. ”
She just wanted to tell Xu Sijie to know how to "thank you".
Binju only heard that the family had no money, so he left tea for guests, and he didn't hear that it was bad to drink tea. But even if she was confused, she would not violate Shi Niang's words, and smiled and led Xu Sijie to pour tea.
Eleven Niang asked Brother Zhen in a low voice: "Do you know what the hell Brother Qin and they are doing?" ”
Brother Zhen shook his head, his expression was a little bitter: "I don't know." I went, and they stopped talking......"
So I'm going to Eleven Niang these days.
Shi Niang thought for a while and said with a smile: "Otherwise, you will quietly go and take a look." ”
"Quietly look at ......" Brother Chen looked at Shi Niang dumbfounded, obviously shocked by her proposal.
"yes!" Eleven Niang smiled, "Instead of pondering in your heart, it's better to find a way to figure things out." Perhaps, it's not what you think it is. ”
People are not afraid of contradictions, they are afraid of not communicating, and they are guessing each other behind their backs.
Brother Zhen hesitated, but his eyes showed a few eagerness to try, and when he told Xu Sijie the story again, he was a little absent-minded, which made Xu Sijie very dissatisfied: "...... Wrong, wrong. Huang Xiang sleeps. ”
It is said that it is Huang Xiang who warms the quilt for his parents, not Kong Rong who made a mistake in his mouth.
Eleven Niang smiled and hugged Xu Sijie: "Brother is tired." Brother Commandment, tell us one! ”
Xu Sijie was a little twisted: "I won't!" ”
"Tell the story of moving." He listened to this story the most, and Eleven Niang smiled, "We all want to hear Brother Jie's story about moving." ”
Xu Sijie's little face was slightly red, he looked a little excited, and said in a childish voice: "There is a Mencius, he is disobedient, he wants to move." He is still disobedient, he ** moved again......" The long sentence is vague and unclear, but the voice is tactful and pleasant, and it is said according to his own understanding, full of childlike fun, and everyone can't help laughing when they hear it.
Eleven Niang looked at the bell and said to Brother Chen: "It's Shen Chu." Let's go to Mrs. Tai in three o'clock......"
It means that if he wants to go to Xu Siqin's place, there will be an hour and a half.
Brother Zhen hesitated.
When I looked up, I saw that Eleven Niang's smiling eyes were full of encouragement. Thinking of Xu Siqin, Xu Siyu and Xu Sijian together, after thinking about it, he finally nodded.
Eleven Niang smiled and called Amber in, and explained the situation roughly: "...... You accompany the fourth young master to the eldest young master's place. Be careful not to bump into it. Protect the fourth young master and don't get into trouble, so as not to make people laugh. He also instructed Binju, "You also go with you." What's there, it's good to help line amber. ”
She bit the word "accompanying" more heavily.
Under the New Year's Festival, people came and went, and rumors spread again, Mrs. Tai was not worried about Xu Siqin and Xu Siyu, who lived in the outer courtyard, so they moved to Lijingxuan. Since they don't want Brother Zhen to know what they are doing, the maids around him will definitely follow the master's wishes to stop Brother Chen. In addition, Brother Zhen is young, and they will not have any scruples about it.
When Eleven Niang said this, she was actually telling Amber that she should act at the right time and help Brother Zhen figure this matter out. The second is to protect Brother Zhen's safety. If the maids intervene to stop it, it's best not to argue. After all, Brother Zhen is the master, and those people are inferior. If it makes a fuss, it will only lose Brother Chen's dignity, and it will make people feel that Brother Zhen can't suppress the scene.
Eleven Niang is also useful in this way.
Brother Zhen has a generous temperament, docile and well-behaved, on the one hand, it is due to his personality, and on the other hand, it is also caused by the environment. In this way, it is better for him to be an idle rich man. But if you are the Marquis of Yongping, it is a little too gentle, more than gentle, and not majestic enough. The most important thing now is to develop his self-confidence. Since he really wanted to know the reason why Xu Siqin and the others avoided him, it was better to let Amber accompany him to investigate. First, you can train his courage. Second, Amber is her own personal maid, and she is clever, and those servants don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, and they will give her a little face. The success rate of this matter can be guaranteed. In case this matter doesn't go well, Amber can also find a way to round the field and maintain Brother Jin's dignity. Of course, the best outcome is that everything goes well and increases his self-confidence......
As for letting Hamaju go, it's to find a helper for Amber.
Amber is smart and clever, and she has a tacit understanding with Eleven Niang, and immediately understands what she means. Smile and bend your knees to "yes": "Madame, don't worry." The fourth young master intends to go on a trip, so he naturally wants to figure it out and be polite. ”
Seeing that she understood, Eleven Niang smiled and nodded, and personally helped Brother Zhen put on her cloak: "Go quietly." If anyone dares to be disobedient, you will act like a young master. ”
Sometimes, people get along with each other to see who has more momentum.
However, Brother Chen's education is to be kind to others, humble and polite. I couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed when I heard it.
Everything has a beginning, and you don't know what to do after experiencing it.
Shi Niang didn't make a sound, just smiled and helped him tie his cloak.
Xu Sijie looked at it but shouted to follow.
Brother Zhen was very happy.
He was bolder.
looked at Eleven Niang with a blank eye: "Let the fifth brother go with me!" ”
It was for him to face it alone.
Eleven Niang pretended to look at Xu Sijie with a gloomy expression: "You go, am I not alone?" ”
Xu Sijie looked at Brother Chen, then at Eleven Niang, and gently took Eleven Niang's hand: "Brother, come back quickly and tell a story." ”
Brother Zhen was a little disappointed, and then thought of quietly going to find out what Xu Siqin was doing, and had an adventurous longing, so he immediately put this little unhappiness behind him, and went to Xu Siqin accompanied by Amber.
Eleven Niang told stories to Xu Sijie.
He listened with relish, forgetting for a moment the loneliness of his brother's absence.
The bell rang at the moment of Shen Zheng, and Brother Chen's footsteps stepped in.
His face was full of joy: "I know, I know what they are doing?" He shouted loudly, didn't bother to take off his cloak, and ran to Eleven Niang: "Mother, I know what the eldest brother and the second brother are going to do?" ”
"Really?" Eleven Niang looked at Brother Chen with a smile, but her eyes glanced at Amber and Binju who followed Brother Zhen in.
Both bowed slightly.
"Brother, brother." Xu Sijie happily greeted Brother Chen.
Brother Zhen held his little hand, and said to Eleven Niang with his eyebrows: "They are discussing going to all kinds of diseases." ”
During the Lantern Festival, there is a custom of touching the door nails after dusk and walking all kinds of diseases. On that occasion, men and women are mixed, good and bad, and there are often cases where the young lady is abducted and the child is lost. Don't be a family like the Xu family, even the Luo family, just for the sake of safety, it is impossible to let the young ladies or ladies and wives who have not left the cabinet go to all kinds of diseases. Of course, boys are less restrictive. If you want to go, just bring a small servant and a nursing home with you.
Is it necessary for them to avoid Brother Zhen?
Unless you want to leave the little house and go alone.
Eleven Niang was very confused and helped Brother Chen untie the cloak. Seeing that he was flushed, he touched his vest and saw that he was not sweating, so he was relieved.
"Sister Amber and Sister Hamaju are so powerful." Brother Chen's emotions were obviously still immersed in the joy of knowing the secret of Xu Siqin and others, and he was at her mercy, his eyes were shining when he spoke, "We quietly entered through the back door, and the little maid who guarded the door ran to report the news, but was stopped by Sister Amber, saying that he was panicked and unorthodox, and he was severely reprimanded. Sister Hamaju took the opportunity to take me to the main room. The maid guarding the door suddenly saw us and was stunned for a long time before going in to make a statement. By the time the eldest brother, second brother, and third brother came out, we had already entered the hall. I asked the eldest brother directly, what are you discussing, and you won't tell me. The eldest brother was silent, and Sister Binju said that it was cold in the hall and went to the inner room to sit. The eldest brother was a little hesitant, but the second brother smiled and led us into the inner room. Speaking of this, Brother Zhen chuckled, "As soon as Sister Binju entered the inner room, she asked her eldest brother, do you want to pretend to be a little girl and sneak out to play?" The eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother were all dumbfounded at that time. ”
Eleven Niang was also a little dumbfounded.
How did Hamaju know?
"I saw at a glance a few of the green silk robes worn by the little ones on the hangers in the inner room." Hamaju covered her mouth and smiled, "You don't remember." You asked me to get you one of these robes that year. ”
Memories flooded back.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but laugh.
She thought she could go out and see. Who knows, but he didn't even touch the edge of the hanging flower door. If I hadn't seen the opportunity, I was afraid that I would have been caught red-handed.
"What happened then?" The hero doesn't mention the courage of the year, and she doesn't want to mention the things of the year. Busy changed the subject.
"The eldest brother is hesitant," Brother Zhen smiled with his eyebrows, "The second brother admitted it, saying that he wanted to go to the Lantern Festival to go to all kinds of diseases." I don't want to be followed by a lot of people. I want to go on my own. ”
Amber smiled and hugged his brother to the kang and helped him take off his shoes.
"No wonder they want to avoid you." Shi Niang smiled, "You are young, they must be afraid that they will not be able to take care of you when the time comes." ”
If they really want to go out to play, then Brother Zhen, who is held in the palm of Mrs. Tai's hand, really can't take it with him - he is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. What's the matter, who bears the responsibility.
"The second brother said the same thing." Brother Zhen pouted, his expression was stunned, "I also said that someone lost their child last year...... But take the third brother with you! "I'm still a little unwilling.
"It's better not to go!" Binju smiled, "When I was a child, I heard that someone got sick and got lost. ”
Brother Chen wanted to speak and stopped, and let Amber hug him on the kang in a daze, and there was no longer the elation just now.
