Chapter 285: Conduct (Part II)
"After all, the second sister-in-law is a married daughter. There are brothers and sisters-in-law at home. What can the second sister-in-law say? Xu Lingyi said, "The second sister-in-law sent someone back to Master Xiang early yesterday morning. It is enough to say that the affairs of the Xiang family are all decided by Lord Xiang. ”
"It's not what we thought it would be!" Eleven Niang was relieved.
A little guy came in and said, "Master Hou, Master Ma is here!" ”
When Xu Lingyi heard this, he immediately stood up: "Please ask Master Ma to wait in the study." Then he turned to Eleven Niang and said, "The Ministry of Rites has drawn up a list of the emperor's eldest concubines, and I asked Ma Zuowen to write back to me." ”
If the eldest son of the emperor can get a great treasure, the selection of the eldest concubine of the emperor will be related to the relationship between the Xu family and the royal family in the future.
Eleven Niang hurriedly got up to send Xu Lingyi out, and was a little uneasy when she came back.
I don't know who the emperor will choose?
She was a little uneasy, and a little maid came in and said, "Mrs. Jining is here!" ”
I hid for a few days, but I didn't dodge.
Eleven Niang sighed secretly: "Please come in!" Then he went to the hall.
Mrs. Jining wore a beautiful blue plain makeup dress, and greeted Eleven Niang with a smile and kindness.
Eleven Niang didn't ask her intentions, but only took good tea to entertain her: "Mrs. Tai's reward for the Longjing before the Ming Dynasty!" ”
Mrs. Jining didn't mean anything, took a sip with a smile, and praised the tea for being good.
The two of them played Tai Chi, one was slow and logical, and the other was like a spring breeze, humming and talking nonsense for an afternoon. But Shi Niang's gaze at Jining was a little different - who would dare to underestimate such a person who can speak and calm down. She instructed Amber: "When you meet Mrs. Jining in the future, you should pay attention to your words." ”
Amber bowed down and said yes, and Sister Zhen returned.
"Mother, Mother!" Her face was full of red, her eyebrows were full of joy, and when she entered the door, she pulled the sleeve of Eleven Niang's shirt and whispered to her, "...... Sister Fang and I quietly went to see Deng Gongzi! His voice was very low, and he happily shared his little secret with Shi Niang, "It's a pity that there are too many people, I don't know if the person we see is Deng Gongzi." ”
Thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls are innocent and lively when they have beautiful visions.
"Oh!" Eleven Niang looked at her with a smile, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Sister Zhen suddenly sat up straight, and said with a wry smile: "Is mother busy? If I'm not busy, I'll come back later. ”
Maybe I remembered what happened last time!
Eleven Niang smiled: "There is nothing to do in the afternoon." ”
Sister Zhen listened to it and then fell on her shoulder again: "Sister Hui and Deng Gongzi have already passed the Geng sticker." Sister Fang said to help Sister Hui take a look. Aunt Twelve refused to go, but Miss Li clamored to go. Sister Fang said she couldn't go. They dragged me away with two people on their backs. ”
"Wait," Shi Niang interrupted her, "Did you go to Deng Gongzi's residence?" ”
"No, no." Sister Zhen shook her hand again and again, "We were drinking tea at the banquet of Lin Da*'s grandmother's main house, and I heard the little maid say that several sons of the Shao family and Deng Gongzi came to greet Lin Da*, and took a look through the screen. ”
Eleven Niang laughed.
I thought of Ganlan Pavilion.
"And then?" She asked.
Sister Zhen said: "The little maid said that Deng Gongzi was wearing a blue lotus-colored brocade robe. But there were two people in the group who wore blue lotus-colored brocade robes. I don't know which one is. However, the two sons are both in Yushu and in the wind, and they are very compatible with Sister Hui. When she said this, her face turned slightly red.
Eleven Niang looked funny. said: "Sister Hui'er's maternal grandfather and uncle personally chose it, so there will be no mistake in thinking about it." ”
Sister Zhen nodded and said, "However, I heard that the marriage of the fifth aunt of the Lin family is yellow again. ”
Eleven Niang was a little surprised: "Doesn't she look down on others?" ”
"It's not." Sister Zhen said, "It seems that the eight characters don't match." ”
In this way, it seems that the man looks down on the woman!
This Miss Lin Wu's marriage is really full of twists and turns!
"So Mrs. Lin is very unhappy." Sister Zhen said, "It makes the atmosphere at home a little tense." ”
"Then you have a spring banquet, what did Mrs. Lin say?"
"Nope." Sister Zhen smiled, "Not only did she not say anything, but she also visited the garden with us in the afternoon." Sister Hui also said, it's good to put this Chunyan on the table, otherwise, it would really be suffocating. ”
Presumably, Mrs. Lin is also worried about her daughter's marriage, so take the opportunity to relax!
Eleven Niang thought about it and asked, "That Sister Hui is only afraid that she won't be able to marry for a while!" ”
"Hmm!" Sister Zhen bowed her head, "So everyone was happy when they heard it." Then he covered his sleeves and smiled, "We don't hope that the fifth aunt of the Lin family can't get married!" ”
It's very lively.
Eleven Niang laughed.
Sister Zhen has friends of the same age and is much more cheerful.
The two talked and laughed, seeing that it was not early, Sister Zhen went back to Shaohua Courtyard to change her clothes, and went to Mrs. Tai's for dinner with Shi Niang and Xu Sijie.
Mrs. Tai asked about the scene of her spring banquet.
“…… The chef made a kind of turnip cake, which is not like the ordinary turnip cake with an astringent taste, but has a long and sweet taste! Sister Zhen replied to Mrs. Tai's words with a smile, and hid the part where she and Sister Fang looked at the son of the Deng family.
After a while, Xu Siyu and Brother Zhen got out of school.
Everyone saluted.
Xu Lingyi has not returned.
Mrs. Tai was about to ask Mother Du to go to the outer courtyard to take a look, and took a photo: "Master Hou said that there are guests, but it's time for dinner." Please don't wait, Mrs. and Mrs. As soon as the matter was over, I came over to greet Mrs. Tai. ”
"Who's coming?" Mrs. Tai listened curiously.
Zhao Ying smiled: "It's Master Ma Zuowen who is here!" ”
Mrs. Tai didn't ask any more, and said to Shi Niang with a smile: "Since he won't come back, then let's eat first!" ”
Eleven Niang smiled and nodded, and hugged Mrs. Tai to the east room.
In the evening, Xu Lingyi came back very late.
Eleven Niang had already rested, and when she heard the movement, she shouted "Hou Ye" with sleepy eyes, and when she heard someone agree, she turned over and fell asleep in a daze.
Half-asleep and half-awake, she felt someone touching her.
"Xu Lingyi!" She muttered vaguely.
"Hmm!" A mellow chuckle sounded in my ears.
Eleven Niang raised her eyelids and saw bright phoenix eyes...... Lazily closed his eyes and put his arms around the shoulders of the people around him......
When she woke up in the morning, she was alone in bed. The clothes on her body were neat, and she was stunned for a moment, and she couldn't tell if last night was a dream or a real existence.
She got up and lifted her middle coat.
In contrast to the red plums embroidered on the lake-colored bandeau are the red kiss marks left on the shoulders like the first snow.
Eleven Niang Ostrich seemed to get into the futon and shrunk for a long time before calling Yanrong, who was on duty at night, to come in and serve her to dress.
"Master Hou went out early in the morning." Yan Rong said in a low voice, "The Second Young Master, the Eldest Lady, the Fifth Young Master, and the aunts are all waiting outside to greet you. As she spoke, she paused, "Aunt Qiao is here too!" ”
"Oh!" Eleven Niang raised her eyebrows, wore a primrose-based plain makeup gown, chose a pair of red gold shell magnolia earrings to wear, and went to the hall.
Qiao Lianfang Qing lost a lot, wearing a blue and blue Hangzhou silk jacket, a stone blue skirt, and the black green silk was casually curled, with a few shallow sorrows between her eyebrows, like flowers shining on water, Chu Chu was moving.
Seeing Eleven Niang coming in, she took a few steps forward like a willow and bent her knees: "Madam! "The posture is very low.
Shi Niang smiled faintly and nodded.
Aunt Wen had already stepped forward to salute her with a smile: "Madam, you look so good today!" ”
Eleven Niang saw Sister Zhen who was holding Xu Sijie on the side, and said with a smile: "It may be that spring is coming!" ”
Aunt Wen couldn't help but nod: "It's not." The weather is mild, and the spirits of the people are better. ”
Aunt Qin took the opportunity to come forward and salute Eleven Niang.
Eleven Niang sat down on the master in the hall.
Xu Siyu led Sister Zhen and Xu Siyu to salute her.
Eleven Niang served tea and let a few aunts disperse, left the children for breakfast, and then went to Mrs. Tai.
Brother Zhen was already waiting outside the house, saluted Eleven Niang, and went to Mrs. Tai to say goodbye. After that, Xu Siyu and Brother Zhen went to the school, Sister Zhen went back to Shaohua Courtyard, Nanyong's daughter-in-law hugged Xu Sijie and returned to Lijingxuan, and Eleven Niang went to the flower hall.
The housekeeper's mother came in and asked her to show her.
Yuuka asks to see you.
“…… The second lady wanted to go back to her parents' house. Please ask the fourth lady to help pull out the carriage. ”
Eleven Niang asked Amber to take her pair of cards to arrange for the second lady to return to her parents' house.
The two met at Mrs. Tai's in the evening, and she smiled and nodded to Eleven Niang.
Eleven Niang politely greeted her.
Mrs. Tai said: "The fourth said that there is something today, let's not wait for him!" ”
Eleven Niang smiled and responded "yes" and instructed the little maids to set the meal.
The second lady took Mrs. Tai to the east room.
After the meal, the second lady and Sister Zhen went back to Shaohua Courtyard, and Eleven Niang served Mrs. Tai to rest, and asked Brother Zhen about his homework, and then returned to the Chuilun Water Pavilion.
met the second lady head-on.
Eleven Niang was stunned.
The second lady had greeted her with a smile: "The fourth brother and sister are back." He added, "Hou Ye asked me to inquire about something, and I specially went back and forth to Hou Ye." Explaining his arrival. Then he took the incense and walked away.
Eleven Niang was stunned for a long time before returning to the house.
Xu Lingyi saw her face full of joy and beckoned to her: "I have something to tell you!" ”
Eleven Niang walked over in confusion.
"I'm going to marry the Xiang family!" There was a joy between his eyebrows that he couldn't hide, "Help Brother Yu and the second lady of the Xiang family get engaged." What do you think? ”
Two days ago, Xu Lingyi visited Shaohua Academy, and today the second lady visited Xu Lingyi...... Everything seems to be understood, and it seems that it is not understood at all.
"When did Master Hou decide?"
The tenderness between Eleven Niang's eyebrows gradually faded.
Xu Lingyi looked at it with a stunned expression: "I had this idea after seeing Lord Xiang that day." ”
In other words, it is not what the second lady meant.
"Did the Xiang family agree?" Although Shi Niang's gaze at Xu Lingyi was calm, it was also cold.
"The second sister-in-law came just now, and that's what she said." Xu Lingyi felt the displeasure of a dozen mothers, and her expression gradually faded, "Master Xiang agreed." ”
"Master Hou decided to marry the Xiang family, and then asked the second sister-in-law to go to the Xiang family to talk about Xiang, and ordered the second miss of the Xiang family." Eleven Niang's voice was calm and calm, but there was a kind of frost-like coldness, "Now that everything is a foregone conclusion." I don't know if Hou Ye recruited a concubine just now, what else did he order? ”
