The fifth lady wants to make a big deal small.

Xu Lingyi couldn't see it.

He patted Xu Lingkuan's shoulder and said to the fifth lady: "Don't be so reckless in the future!" ”

Xu Lingkuan nodded again and again: "No, no!" ”

The fifth lady breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

The second lady stood up at the right time: "Everyone disperse!" Let Brother Zhen lie down and take two pairs of calming medicines! ”

The maids and mothers-in-law who followed everyone retreated when they heard this, but Mrs. Tai sat on the small pestle. Xu Lingkuan, the fifth lady and others naturally stayed. I saw Mrs. Tai take Brother Chen's little hand and ask him softly, "Do you want to eat something?" Or, I'll ask Mother Du to cook you longan lotus seed soup to drink? "There was a lot of worry on his face.

"I'm fine!" Brother Zhen's voice was thin, "I just want to sleep for a while!" "There was a tiredness in his face.

Mrs. Tai listened and hurriedly said, "Okay, good, good." I don't bother you. Get some sleep! ”

Brother Zhen closed his eyes.

Eleven Niang took a cup of green tea and went over: "Brother Zhen'er, come, rinse your mouth and go to sleep again." ”

Brother Chen opened his eyes again when he heard this, let Eleven Niang help him up, rinsed his mouth, and lay down again.

Eleven Niang helped Brother Zhen tuck the corners of the quilt and persuaded Mrs. Tai: "You go back and rest first!" I'm looking at it here! ”

Mrs. Tai thought for a while, then nodded: "That's good." I'll go back first. If anything happens, send someone to call me!" ”

The eleventh lady responded, and Mrs. Tai took the second lady, Xu Lingkuan, and the fifth lady back to the inner courtyard.

Only Xu Lingyi and his wife were left in the house.

Xu Lingyi suddenly whispered: "You say, is this a 'disaster'?" There was a hint of hope in his tone.

Although I say that I don't believe in Buddhism or Taoism, I still feel a little unsteady in my heart, right?

Eleven Niang said implicitly: "No, Ji Tailai." Brother Zhen will be fine! ”

Xu Lingyi nodded.

The doctor rushed over panting.

After diagnosing the pulse, it was the same as the second lady said, but she was a little frightened and prescribed two decoctions to calm the mind and calm the nerves. Eleven Niang told Amber to decoction without mentioning it. and Xu Lingyi chose May 26 to entertain Brother Chen's son.

The stewards of the Xu Mansion were busy, and Eleven Niang went to Xu's office.

In summer, Lijingxuan has a bunch of red, hibiscus, grass stone zhu, pomegranate, crape myrtle...... Blooming brightly. Wen Zhu, who was directing the little maid to clean the courtyard, was taken aback when he saw Eleven Niang, and whispered to the little maid to pay homage to Xu Si, and he hurriedly greeted him.

"Where's the second young master?" Eleven Niang asked her with a smile.

"The second young master got up right now, started practicing calligraphy after breakfast, and has not stopped until now." A tone of fear of Eleven Niang's blame.

Although Wen Zhu was picked by her, it was Xu Siyu who got along day and night. If he can't even accept the people around him, what can he talk about self-reliance.

Eleven Niang smiled and nodded slightly, and saw Qin Xiang hugging Xu Siyu and walking over unhurriedly.

"Mother!" His body was tense, and although his movements were standardized, he was less calm, so he looked a little restrained.

"I came to see you." Eleven Niang smiled, "I heard that you got up early in the morning to practice calligraphy, didn't you quarrel with you?" ”

Xu Siyu was slightly stunned when he heard this, bent down slightly, and was about to salute and answer, but Eleven Niang had already gone to his room.

He had no choice but to keep up and whispered, "I happen to be a little tired from practicing and want to take a break!" ”

"That's good!" Eleven Niang smiled and entered the house with him.

There are three rooms, with a bedroom to the east and a study to the west.

They went to the study.

Half-written rice paper was spread out on the wide bookcase, and a drop of ink was condensed on the tip of the wolf pen pen resting on the pen stand, obviously receiving the letter and hurrying out.

Eleven Niang only doesn't know. Walk over to the bookcase and look at his calligraphy.

"Poorly written!" Xu Siyu was slightly embarrassed.

"No!" Xu Siyu's words are very delicate, and Eleven Niang is very fair, "I think your words are exquisitely arranged, rounded, and elegant." However, there is also a lack of bones. If this continues, it will inevitably become normal. ”

Xu Siyu's eyes lit up and said, "According to my mother's meaning, how can I be regarded as having a strong bone?" ”

"It's rare that you're putting pen to paper. But when it is feasible, he is weak, and even shows a few hesitations......"

Shi Niang and Xu Siyu talked about calligraphy for most of the hour, and then went to Xu Sijie's place to stay for a while before returning to their house.

The next day, she went to Xu Siyu again.

Xu Siyu looked at Eleven Niang in surprise.

Eleven Niang only talked to him about calligraphy.

Xu Siyu was a little absent-minded at first, but later saw that Shi Niang spoke wonderfully, he gradually dissolved into it and began to discuss calligraphy and painting with Shi Niang.

On the third day, Eleven Niang went again...... Xu Siyu took out the old work from the past and showed it to Eleven Niang, and the two commented again, and Eleven Niang didn't leave until dinner.

Xu Siyu sent Eleven Niang to the door, raised his eyelids to look at Eleven Niang, and said softly: "...... I'll practice my words well! "It's like it's showing something, and it's like it's explaining something.

Such a smart ......

Eleven Niang nodded with a smile and said in a low voice: "Then I won't beat you." Tomorrow, the family will feast for your fourth brother as the prince of the world, and invite relatives and friends. ”

Xu Siyu gave up his hands and watched Eleven Niang leave.

As soon as he turned around, a maid wearing a red coarse scorched cloth armor came out from the path on the side: "Second young master, my aunt asked me to come and see you." ”

Xu Siyu's body stiffened, and he nodded lightly.

The maid had already stepped forward with a smile on her face and bowed to Xu Siyu......

After the banquet, the Xu and Jiang families began to discuss marriage.

The Xu family invited King Shun as a matchmaker and exchanged Geng posts, and Eleven Niang made a collar with a red gold pendant and double blessing lock plates, a red gold collar inlaid with lotus patterns, and took a pair of Nanzhu earrings the size of lotus seeds from his jewelry box, a pair of red gold earrings inlaid with rubies, a pair of red gold bracelets with little oil, a pair of red gold silk bracelets, a ring engraved with peach, a ring engraved with pomegranate flowers, a ring with red gold inlaid with mutton fat jade gourd, a ring with red gold inlaid with jade Ruyi, and a box of tea. A box of wine was sent to Jiang's house as a small thing. The two families discussed the enlargement of Miss Jiang Jiajiu and Empress Lu and the engagement date.

Both families were happy with how things went. In particular, Xu Sizhen was made the prince. Master Jiang took the initiative to mention that Xu Siyu went to study at the Academy.

“…… Although it is particularly easy to get tired in summer, you can get tired of every inch of time, and you can go to Le'an in late June. If everything goes well, the second son can still catch up with the children's test next spring. ”

Xu Siyu is in Yanjing, and if he takes the children's exam, he will return to Yanjing at the end of the year. Except for the round-trip journey, Xu Siyu has five months of study time left. And it was also under the condition that Jiang Song had never seen Xu Siyu.

Eleven Niang gasped when she heard this.

Is the Jiang family too eager? Or is it too big for Master Jiang? Or, does the Jiang family really have such a certainty?

“…… Brother Yu has been reading books for several years with Mr. Ethnology. Xu Lingyi is very optimistic, "No matter how famous a teacher points out, I don't think it's an exaggeration to prolong life." ”

Longevity is Jiang Bai's word.

After making a small decision, the two commensurate each other with words.

It's okay, I went to Le'an, and some things have to be put down if I don't let go!

Eleven Niang thought of what Amber told her: "...... You walk on the front foot, and the little jade beside Aunt Qin goes to see the second young master on the back foot. The second young master sent the people who served around him, and he didn't know what he said. But I tossed and turned at night and didn't close my eyes all night. When I woke up the next day, my eyes were blue. Frightened, Wen Zhu personally ran to Liufangwu to fetch spring water to compress the eyes of the second young master. She said, her tone paused, and said, "Look, do you want to change someone to follow the second young master to Anle!" ”

"No need." Eleven Niang smiled, "Who doesn't have a few close people around them, and who doesn't have a few restless people around them." Gone to this, there will be that. It's better to take bamboo. Anyway, it's also our peace. Since she can read the good of the second young master, she will read my good. What's more, we didn't want her to harm the second young master. ”

The thought flashed, and Eleven Niang said: "Then I'll help Brother Yu'er pack her luggage tomorrow!" ”

Xu Lingyi took her to see the renovated main house: "...... I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it. After half a month, you can move in. ”

The black lacquer courtyard doors, hand-copying verandahs, floor-to-ceiling columns, and window lattices have all been repainted. A large shadow wall was added to the entrance, and the corner gate leading to the east aunt's house became a pink wall.

Eleven Niang was very surprised. Seeing that Xu Lingyi had bypassed the shadow wall. She suppressed the confusion in her heart and followed.

The three wings on the left and right of the shadow wall are also newly added. The original three-room hall was changed into a main hall, and an ear room was added on the right. Behind the main hall is the main room. The left and right wings also have an ear room. The back seven rooms were inverted, and a three-room wing room was built on the west side, and a hall was built on the east side.

The amount of work is beyond the imagination of Eleven Niang, and the covered hall is ......

"What is this?"

"You can't always borrow my mother's flower hall." Xu Lingyi said lightly, "In the future, let's handle housework in the main hall in front!" ”

Eleven Niang walked into the hall in a daze and saw the long alley between the east courtyard and the main courtyard.

The back cover room is where the maids live. It turned out that the corner gate where the aunts came in and out was by the gate. Now, it's located next to the back room......

Eleven Niang quickly helped Xu Siyu pack her bags. She didn't know how Xu Lingyi confessed, she privately gave Xu Siyu a purse, which contained five silver tickets of twenty taels: "...... Save it for emergencies. ”

Xu Siyu was stunned for a while before he reacted. Just as he was about to say something, Wen Zhu had already said through the curtain: "Aunt Qin is here!" ”

He froze again.

"You're leaving, I'll ask Aunt Qin to help you pack your things!" Eleven Niang said, Amber had lifted the curtain.

It's just that I haven't seen it for more than a month, and Aunt Qin is like a flower that hasn't seen the sun for a long time, although it is still fair and round, but it has lost its fresh light.

She bent her knees to salute Eleven Niang, and called out "Madam" in a low voice, her voice already a little choked.

Eleven Niang bowed slightly, and left Lijingxuan quickly with the maid who served.

Mrs. Jiang left Yenching with her daughter on June 4. accompanied by Xu Siyu and his entourage.
