Chapter 372: Qin Jin (II)
Qiao Lianfang was telling herself that if she didn't suppress the Yang family, she would be pulled off the horse by the Yang family!
Eleven Niang looked at the water in the corner of her eyes, and suddenly missed Qiao Lianfang's slightly arrogant expression when she first entered the house.
She slowly served the tea: "I know what Aunt Qiao said." Mrs. Tai is still waiting for me to discuss the matter of March 3rd. "Sending off guests in a subtle way.
Qiao Lianfang saw that Eleven Niang smiled lightly, and said what she should have said, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes: "Please forgive me for my temporary rudeness." Then he said a few words, "Don't delay Madame," and bowed and withdrew.
Eleven Niang looked at her back and sighed softly, and the little maid came in and said, "Aunt Qin is here!" ”
She looked at the floor clock, and there was still time, so she asked the little maid to invite Aunt Qin in.
Aunt Qin came to give Xia clothes to Xu Sijie: "...... I made one out of my old clothes. But the fifth young master is still young, and it is the time when the day is the same, and I don't know if there is anything to change. Madame, look! Then he handed over a royal blue silk wrapper.
Lu Yun stepped forward to take it, and took out the moon-white plain and fine arrowroot cloth in the baggage and held it to Eleven Niang.
The stitches are fine, and the placket is embroidered with moire, which is very exquisite.
"Aunt Qin has worked hard." Eleven Niang said politely, "The fifth young master got off school at noon and went to Mrs. Tai's place to eat and take a nap, and when he comes back, I will try it for him, if there is anything to change, I will tell my aunt." ”
Aunt Qin let out a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then I will listen to Madame's letter and start cutting the next one!" ”
Eleven Niang nodded.
Aunt Qin was not in a hurry to leave, but talked about Xu Sijie: "...... Carved silk brocade, fine kudzu makeup flowers are worn all over. It's not by Madame's side, how can the fifth young master be so rich. Everyone said that the fifth young master could meet Madame, and that was his luck. But in my opinion, it is the blessing of the lady. She was slightly stunned, "I think that at the beginning, when there was only one second young master under the knees of Hou Ye, when it was too hot, he was just looking for a few pieces of scorched cloth to make a few summer clothes." As soon as the words fell, he suddenly had an epiphany, showed a few regrets, and hurriedly said: "I didn't say that Sister Ling didn't treat the second young master well, but she really didn't have that mood - at that time, everyone was worried about the matter of the heir!" While speaking, he looked at Shi Niang's expression.
There are really three hundred taels of silver here.
Eleven Niang smiled and served tea.
Aunt Qin looked at it and showed a little anxious, and hurriedly explained: "The second master was not in the first month, Sister Ling had a miscarriage in February, and the old marquis lost his son and grandson in just three months, and he collapsed at that time. Mrs. Tai was in a hurry. Let me and Jasper stop the decoction. But we have been recuperating for more than half a year, and we haven't adjusted well. The Wen family has always wanted to establish a relationship with the royal family through the Xu family, and several times asked people to send messages to Mrs. Tai, willing to give the eldest daughter to the Hou Ye as a concubine. Mrs. Tai was a little hesitant at first, but after the autumn, the old marquis's illness began to worsen, and Mrs. Tai couldn't care about it anymore, so she nodded. She said, as if remembering some of the difficulties in the past, and her eyes turned red, "This is also the blessing of each person." Biyu has been in an unstable fetal position because of this, and it will be difficult for me to get pregnant after giving birth to the second young master......"
Eleven Niang couldn't hide her stunned.
Aunt Qin's body, which had been a little tense, gradually relaxed.
She took out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes, forcing a happy smile: "Look at me, I am talking nonsense in front of Madame again." Now that a newcomer is about to enter the door, the heirs of the Hou Ye will only become more and more prosperous in the future. I talked about some old things in the past, which upset Madame. Then he squatted down and gave Eleven Niang a blessing in a steady manner, "Madam, then I'll go first." Wait until the fifth young master has tried on the clothes. ”
There were a thousand puzzles in Shi Niang's heart, but none of them were as shocking as Aunt Qin's words revealed her true intentions.
Her smile faded, and her expression looked a little solemn. When Aunt Qin said goodbye, she just nodded lightly.
Aunt Qin wiped her eyes and slowly retreated.
Eleven Niang looked at the gently swaying soft curtain with a solemn expression, speechless for a while.
Did Aunt Qin want to hint at herself through this incident?
For a while, the room was quiet, and the atmosphere was suffocating.
Amber couldn't help biting her lip, took a few steps forward, and said in a low voice: "Madam, look, do you want to use some decoction for that Yang......
"Don't even think about it." Eleven Niang turned her head to look at her, her eyes flashing with cold light like the tip of a sword, "The Yang family is the niece of the Queen Mother, given by the emperor, and it is involved in the temple dispute." Don't act on your own. She couldn't help but smile coldly as she spoke. There is Qiao Lianfang first, and then there is Qin Liubao, I don't know who will jump out later. Thinking that Amber has always been the left arm and right arm, if she doesn't get her through, maybe she will be used because of this, so he lowered his voice: "This family has the final say." Hou Ye wants to spoil her, even if he has no heirs, he can also take one back in the good hall and raise it under her name; Hou Ye doesn't spoil her, even if he has an heir, he can raise the child to the outer courtyard to not recognize her. You are the person next to me, but you must not be confused. Do what hurts relatives and makes enemies happy. ”
Amber suddenly realized and nodded again and again: "Madam, don't worry, I know." I wouldn't have done anything without my wife in the future. Not only that, but it will also restrain the maids and mothers-in-law below. will never cause any trouble for the lady and let people make a handle. ”
Eleven Niang put her mind at ease and told her a few more words, and Aunt Wen came.
The corners of her mouth couldn't help but flash a hint of mockery, and she instructed the little maid: "Let her in!" ”
"Madam," Aunt Wen smiled and stepped forward to salute her, and then put the big red painted gold begonia flower makeup box in her hand on the kang table, "Look at it, how about this comb grate and brush?" ”
Amber stepped forward and opened the box.
Bamboo grate, wooden crow, tooth comb, corner comb, rhombic mirror are all available, and the carving is finely made, or gorgeous or elegant, very exquisite. In particular, the rhombus glasses, the enamel flowers and birds painted on the royal blue background, the colors are gorgeous, and the light of the mirror polishing can be recognized.
"Not bad," Eleven Niang said with a smile, "This is for the eldest lady?" ”
Aunt Wen smiled and nodded: "Someone ordered it from Changshu." Then he took the diamond mirror, "I see that Madame uses a bronze mirror, but the shopkeeper highly recommends this enamel, so I can't make up my mind, so I show Madame it." ”
She uses a copper mirror because she is married to a copper mirror, and the colored enamel is naturally more beautiful than the copper mirror, and it is also more suitable for newlyweds. What's more, it is highly recommended by the shopkeeper, and most of it is more popular now.
"That's all it is!" Eleven Niang smiled, "I look good." ”
Aunt Wen laughed, and while putting away the things, she said, "Since Madame likes it, keep it!" ”
Eleven Niang was a little surprised.
Aunt Wen said: "I asked people to order three sets, two sets are for the eldest lady, and this set is for you." He added, "Although they are all gadgets, sometimes when you play with them, your mood will be much better!" ”
Is it to comfort yourself?
A hint of surprise flashed in Eleven Niang's eyes.
Aunt Wen has already said: "Look at this, Mrs. Tai is going to take a nap." I'll go first. Tomorrow I will send the Hangzhou silk I ordered for the eldest lady. When the time comes, it is indispensable to let the lady take a look. I heard that this year, there is a new cherry red in the south, which is very beautiful......"
She babbled to her feet to leave.
Eleven Niang thought that she was going out too, so she went out with her.
On the way, Aunt Wen looked at her several times, and stopped talking.
There are already two people who have given her "advice", and this one is not bad.
Eleven Niang thought about it and simply asked her, "What's wrong?" ”
Aunt Wen hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard that the new house is located in the second young master's original residence?" ”
Well informed!
"Come to think of it, only that place is the most suitable!"
Aunt Wen said: "I see that Mrs. is very worried, is it because of this matter?" ”
Eleven Niang was a little puzzled.
Aunt Wen said: "After all, she is the niece of the Queen Mother, and she has a will." There is another courtyard, which is always a concubine; The former residence of the second young master is a little biased. She said, her tone slightly condensed, "If Madame feels embarrassed, why don't you exchange with me!" Although my place is not big, it is good to sit in the north and face south, and it is the first to enter the east courtyard. Even if the people of the Yang family were dissatisfied, Mrs. also had something to prevaricate them. ”
Eleven Niang was shocked, she stopped and looked at Aunt Wen: "Aunt Wen ......"
Aunt Wen smiled wryly: "The poor are angry. People like us are always afraid that people will look down on us, so it turns out that we are holding on hard, and it is also for the sake of the eldest lady. Now that the eldest lady has a good family, and the lady treats me cheerfully and generously, I still have nothing to fight for. Where to live and not to live? Don't let those false names go! Madame, tell Mr. Bai! Seeing that it is almost March 12, I will pack up the cage in the past two days, and I will be able to move it tomorrow. She looked at Eleven Niang with a very sincere expression.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but seriously consider her suggestion.
Since Yi Zhi gave concubines, this matter has begun to deviate from the normal track. What the future holds, no one can say. It's always a good idea to be cautious.
"Then you can change it!" She muttered, "After Manager Bai repairs it, you can move it!" ”
Aunt Wen smiled and responded "Okay", sent Eleven Niang to the Hanging Flower Gate, and when her figure was out of sight, she returned to her yard.
"Qiuhong, quickly pack up the cage." A smile overflowed her face, "Let's move to the second young master's old residence!" ”
"Move to live behind Aunt Qin?" Qiu Hong's face was full of consternation, "Auntie, is it Mrs......"
"It's not!" Aunt Wen sat on the kang with a smile, "I brought it up myself!" As she spoke, she let out a long breath, "It can be regarded as repaying Madame for worrying about the eldest lady!" Then he thought about it and said, "It's even more to avoid this turmoil!" ”
Qiuhong can understand what Aunt Wen said about "repaying Mrs.", but she can't understand what she said about "turmoil".
"What an elm head." Aunt Wen smiled and stretched out her finger and nodded on her forehead, "Then the Yang clan made the Qiao clan and the Qin clan panic before they entered the door. If you get in the door, you don't know what to do. We might as well get out of the way early to avoid being splashed with muddy water. ”
Qiu Hong nodded again and again after hearing this, and hurriedly instructed Yu'er to pack up the cage.
