On the way to Mrs. Tai, Eleven Niang deliberately walked with Xu Lingyi, and Sister Zhen was a little embarrassed and fell far behind.

Eleven Niang whispered angrily: "With Sister Zhen here, why do you have to give her a few faces." Show Aunt Wen like this, what do she think! ”

Xu Lingyi didn't make a sound for a long time, and Shi Niang wanted to persuade a few more words, but he already said in a deep voice: "I know!" ”

Eleven Niang put her mind at ease, turned around and walked together with Sister Zhen.

"Everything at home is handed over to Mother Du, if you need anything, you can just tell her directly." She told Sister Zhen in detail, "From today onwards, we will cry and mourn for five days. It's been five days! ”

Sister Zhen nodded: "Mother don't worry, I will take good care of Brother Zhen at home." ”

This point is very relieved. He secretly stuffed a purse into her: "There are ten taels of silver in it, not much, keep it for urgent use." ”

Sister Zhen was stunned and hurriedly excused herself: "I don't want it." I have money in my hand. ”

"Take it!" Eleven Niang smiled, "This is what I gave." If you really don't lack it, save it for private money. ”

Sister Zhen thought about it, didn't shirk it anymore, smiled and thanked her, and went to Mrs. Tai side by side with Eleven Niang.

Xu Lingyi listened to the whispered soft voice behind her, and her mood suddenly became very happy. When I entered the house, I saw the neatly dressed fifth master Xu Lingkuan supporting Danyang with a solemn face, as if he was suddenly sensible, in a better mood, and his eyes flashed with satisfaction. And Xu Lingkuan, who had been paying attention to Xu Lingyi, saw it, knowing that his early rise today was not in vain, and he became happy. Seeing that the second lady helped Mrs. Tai out, she hurriedly helped her out of the hanging flower door and got into the carriage.

There was just a glimmer of light outside, and everyone in the Xu family had arrived at Sishanmen.

The foreign woman is inside the door, and the civil and military officials are outside the door.

Xu Lingyi took the third and fifth masters, Mrs. Tai, the second lady and others to break up.

The time for mourning had not yet come, and more than half of the mourners had come one after another, all whispering in groups of three or five.

When they saw the people from the Xu Mansion, someone immediately greeted them.

When Eleven Niang saw that it was Mrs. Huang with the daughters of the Huang family, and the third grandmother of the Huang family was also among them, she hurriedly stepped forward to say hello with Mrs. Tai.

The two families knew each other well.

Everyone saw the ceremony, and just wiped the corners of their eyes and cried a few times for the fifth prince, and someone came over to say hello.

For a while, the female relatives of the Xu family were surrounded by people, the second lady always supported Mrs. Tai, and the fifth lady had someone else surrounding her, only the third lady reluctantly followed Mrs. Tai with a smile.

Grandma Huang San pulled Eleven Niang aside, and secretly pointed to a small group of people who were standing not far from their left and looked at them: "See, the people of Jianninghou and Shouchangbo's family." ”

Eleven Niang looked over and saw the third young grandmother of the Tang family, Yang Shi, standing in it and looking this way. Seeing Shi Niang looking over, she turned her head and whispered to the people around her, looking like she didn't see it.

I don't know what Yang's opinion about himself? Even if it was for Xu Lingyi, wasn't the Yang family unwilling to do it at the beginning?

While thinking about it, someone called her in a low voice: "Fourth lady! ”

Eleven Niang looked over, it was Lin Da*'s milk.

She hurriedly bent her knees and made a blessing salute: "Lin Da * milk." ”

Lin Da*'s grandmother returned the salute and sighed with her: "I really didn't expect that the fifth prince would go like this!" ”

The official news is a misdiagnosis.

Eleven Niang greeted her: "I'm so anxious, I don't even have a chance to find a home remedy among the people!" ”

"This is too much for the hospital to rectify." Lin Da* nodded, and Mrs. Gan came over with a woman. Everyone saw the ceremony and introduced each other, and Eleven Niang knew that this woman was the wife of Mrs. Gan's brother and her sister-in-law, and her husband was the general political envoy of the general political department, and the senior member of the imperial court.

Eleven Niang was quite emotional.

With such a brother in her mother's family, Mrs. Gan doesn't seem to have an easy time in the Gan family.

As soon as a few people stood still, they saw Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Liang walk in.

Mrs. Zhou said from a distance: "Why didn't I see you when I was talking!" ”

Eleven Niang stepped forward to salute Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Liang, and Mrs. Zhou took Eleven Niang's hand and went with her to see Mrs. Tai.

The second lady saw Mrs. Zhou and nodded slightly.

Mrs. Zhou also nodded slightly. changed his intimacy with everyone, and was very cold to the second lady.

Eleven Niang looked strange.

Mrs. Zhou didn't hide it from her, and said in a low voice: "She looks at us as a bunch of unseen hens, but I look at her and thinks her legs are too long and look strange—why bother yourself!" ”

This was the first time she had heard someone not buy the second lady's account like this. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, she would have laughed out loud.

Just after Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Liang finished speaking, they asked Mrs. Zhou, "Where is your mother-in-law?" ”

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly said: "I am talking to the queen mother in Kunning Palace!" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a chamberlain hurriedly ran over: "Mrs. Tai, the queen has a will, please go to Kunning Palace with a few uncles and wives to talk." ”

Many people present showed envious eyes, and the daughters of the Xu family became the focus.

Eleven Niang sighed slightly.

As long as it is a woman, vanity is infinitely satisfied in this case. It is no wonder that there are people who seek positions of power.

The second lady called out to Eleven Niang softly: "You help Mrs. Tai to walk in front." ”

Eleven Niang is Mrs. Yongping Hou!

Mrs. Tai nodded slightly when she heard this, and went to Kunning Palace with the help of Eleven Niang.

Kunning Palace was white, and the palace maids and chamberlains were all covered with a layer of filial piety clothes outside. It was still Father-in-law Lei who welcomed them in.

But I didn't see it overnight, the queen seemed to be a lot haggard again, and when she saw the people of the Xu family, her eyes were red, and she shouted "Mrs. Tai", and her eyes fell on the second lady: "Yizhen, we haven't seen each other for a long time!" ”

The second lady immediately burst into tears and shouted "Queen Mother".

The two of them burst into tears.

Someone next to him persuaded: "Niangniang, please mourn by the way." Otherwise, Mrs. Tai should be sad again. ”

Eleven Niang went to the prestige.

The one who spoke was a woman about the same age as Mrs. Tai, of medium stature, white and chubby, with straight eyebrows and eyes, and she looked very rich.

When the second lady heard this, she immediately bent her knees and confessed: "Yi is really rude!" ”

The queen mother hurriedly said: "You and I haven't seen each other for a long time!" "I looked like I was afraid that someone would blame the second lady. It can be seen that the two are not just sisters-in-law......

Mrs. Tai hurriedly led the daughter of the Xu family to salute the queen. The queen mother let people appreciate the seat of the lady. Mrs. Tai thanked her, and led the daughter of the Xu family to salute the eldest princess.

The eldest princess bowed slightly, which was considered a return salute.

A palace maid brought a brocade pestle, and Mrs. Tai excused herself and half sat on the brocade pestle. The second lady, the third lady, the eleventh lady, and the fifth lady stood behind the lady. Before he could speak, a palace maid came: "The Queen Mother is here!" ”

The queen mother got up to greet her, and the eldest princess, Mrs. Tai and others followed.

After a period of bowing and prostration, everyone sat down in dignity.

An attendant came: "The time for mourning has come!" ”

Mrs. Tai had no choice but to lead the daughters of the Xu family to say goodbye.

The queen mother looked at her and was about to speak, but the queen mother said: "Mrs. Tai is very old, and she is the grandmother of the fifth prince. Although there are different kings and ministers, the young and the old should also be orderly. Mrs. Tai will accompany the mourning family to Cining Palace to sit down! It's windy and snowy, and it's troublesome if you freeze your bones and bones. As he spoke, he stepped forward and took Mrs. Tai's hand, "You and I are both old people, and we can't afford such a toss." He was very affectionate with Mrs. Tai, and then instructed the eldest princess, "You lead Danyang and a few of her concubines to Sishanmen!" ”

The eldest princess respectfully answered "yes".

didn't even give the Xu family a chance to talk to the queen.

Eleven Niang glanced at the second lady quickly.

But I saw that she was as calm as water, and I couldn't see any abnormality.

She couldn't help but secretly admire in her heart.

No wonder Xu Lingyi handed over this matter to the second lady, just this calmness is enough to make people look at her differently - you know, the Xu family is now like ants on a hot pot, and the most important thing is to quickly contact the queen and persuade her. After a long time, there will definitely be people who have a heart to say something in front of the queen. What will happen at that time, no one dares to predict.

Mrs. Tai even said "don't dare" and politely refused.

The Queen Mother's face was slightly sad: "Mrs. Tai is not as close to the mourning family as she was before." ”

Speaking of which, if Mrs. Tai refuses again, she will spill the face of the Queen Mother.

"The queen mother is wrong to love, and the concubines are grateful." Mrs. Tai's attitude was docile, "Speaking of which, the concubine has been thinking about the Queen Mother for the past two years. It's just that there are a lot of things at home, and I can't leave for a while, and I'm afraid that when I get there, I will complain and make you uncomfortable. That's why I went to Cining Palace less. ”

"Oh!" The Queen Mother rolled her eyes when she listened, "I didn't know that you weren't happy." Then we have to talk about it even more! Turning his head and urging the eldest princess: "You guys go first!" ”

The eldest princess didn't dare to slack off, and led the daughters of the Xu family out of Kunning Palace and went to Sishanmen.

Sishanmen's crying shook the sky, startling Eleven Niang, and after a closer look, all the female dependents covered their faces with handkerchiefs, and they couldn't see tears.

Seeing Eleven Niang and a few people coming, they all raised their eyelids from behind the veil to hide their faces and peeped at them.

The second lady hurriedly pulled the sleeve of Eleven Niang's shirt and said, "Hurry up and cry!" As he spoke, he immediately knelt down in the place left for them, took out his handkerchief, and began to wipe his tears.

Eleven Niang really didn't expect it.

She thought that the second lady would disdain it, but she didn't expect that she cried more sadly than anyone else...... But there is also a poignant posture, which makes people not feel hasty!

Eleven Niang didn't know what to say anymore, so she knelt down, took out a handkerchief and cried.

In his heart, he was worried about the fifth lady.

I wonder if something will happen to her?

Fortunately, without crying a few times, there was an inner waiting to pass on the queen's mother's message, and let the fifth lady go to the side of the hall to rest.

Looking at the back of the fifth lady, Eleven Niang put her mind at ease, but the corner of her eye inadvertently glanced at the face of the second lady and found that she looked relieved.

Eleven Niang was thoughtful.

Everyone howled for most of the hour, and when the time came, they all slowly rested, and there were attendants leading everyone to the side of the hall to rest.

The eldest princess and other royal family sects personally served in the apse, and the others were in the front hall.

The fifth lady sat on the chair of the master in the front hall with a somewhat pale face.

The second lady hurriedly walked over: "Danyang, are you okay?" ”
