Chapter 342: Making Up Your Mind (I)
Knowing that Tao's mother was going to visit the doctor in Gongxian Hutong, Eleven Niang not only readily agreed, but also sent a carriage to send her over.
Qi Niang brought Mu Fu over.
"These days, I am taken care of by Lord Hou. We are sisters, and I won't say anything more. But Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Fifth couldn't help but thank you. Zhu Anping and I discussed, asked the cook of Chunxi Building to make the banquet, and invited Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Fifth and the children to Congxiang Pavilion tomorrow to be lively, which can be regarded as a fulfillment of my heart. ”
Qi Niang and Zhu Anping have been visiting relatives and friends and visiting the Zen temple, Eleven Niang was busy entertaining Mrs. Jiang, and Qi Niang did not mention the banquet of Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Wu in Cong Xiang Pavilion. No one expected that the matter of finding a doctor would be settled so quickly. Now that she is about to start taking medication, Xu Mansion can no longer live. But thinking about buying a house near Xu's Mansion is not something that can be done with money. Qi Niang's matter can't wait. Zhu Anping thought about it for a while, and bought a three-entry house near Siniang's residence, and planned to move there in the next few days. Qi Niang thought about how to take Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Fifth to Cong Xiang Pavilion to get together.
Eleven Niang knew what she meant, and accompanied her to Mrs. Tai.
The weather is getting hotter, people are in good spirits, Qi Niang is honest again, Mrs. Tai responded with a smile, and the next day and Eleven Niang, five ladies, and children went to Cong Xiang Pavilion.
Congxiang Pavilion, as the name suggests, is planted with a lot of plants and flowers. The crystal elbow of Chunxi Tower is famous in Yanjing. Qi Niang set up a banquet in the hall, six snowflake pattern fans opened, flowers bloomed outside the house, the breeze in the house was gentle, everyone drank Jinhua wine, talking and laughing, very comfortable.
After lunch, a few people moved to the east wing to wipe the cards.
A little maid ran over and said, "Uncle and grandmother from Bowstring Hutong are here!" ”
"It's better to come sooner than just in time." Mrs. Tai smiled and hurriedly instructed the little maid to welcome people in.
Luo Da * Grandma didn't expect Qi Niang to set up a banquet to entertain the daughters of the Xu family, and her expression was a little uncomfortable. She smiled and greeted Mrs. Tai, who was left at the card table: "...... Eleven Niang's craftsmanship is too poor, hesitating between the cards, delaying us, or you come! ”
Eleven Niang naturally couldn't ask for it, so she hurriedly gave up her position to Luo Da * Milk, and sat aside to watch the cards.
Qi Niang brought mung bean water to Luo Da* milk to relieve fatigue. A few people played cards happily all afternoon. Grandma Luo stayed for dinner, got up to say goodbye, and then had the opportunity to talk to the eleventh mother who sent her out.
"I heard that Master Hou has been running around for the past few days for Brother Lichen and the son of the world?"
Grandma Luo made a special trip to see her, naturally not to play cards with Mrs. Tai.
Thinking that Mother Tao went to Gongxian Hutong yesterday, Eleven Niang had already vaguely guessed something. Wen Yan smiled: "Everyone knows! ”
Grandma Luo nodded with a smile and asked euphemistically, "Then, what are the plans of Aunt Eleven?" ”
Since I came on order, it's hard to reply without asking.
Eleven Niang stated her position: "Brother Zhen is the son-in-law of Yuan's wife, and he should inherit the family business according to the law." Now it is natural to ask for the title of prince. ”
When Grandma Luo heard this, she showed a few embarrassments: "I heard my mother say that according to the rules, Brother Zhen has sealed the son, and he will set up another hospital to live alone." I don't know what Aunt Eleven's plans are? ”
Although she had already accepted the reason for marrying into the Xu family to take care of Brother Zhen, when Eleven Niang heard these words, she didn't know why, and her heart still hurt as if she had been bitten by ants.
She couldn't help straightening her back and said, "Brother Zhen grew up under the knees of Mrs. Tai, if the position of the prince is decided, I think, whether it is Mrs. Tai or Master Hou, there should be some arrangements, right?" As for me, I naturally hope that Mother Tao can go to Brother Chen's yard to be a housekeeper. She is the nurse of the eldest sister, and she watched Brother Zhen grow up! It's just that the holy will of this canonization has not yet come down, and it is too early to say this! ”
Seeing Eleven Niang's solemn expression, Grandma Luo felt even more uncomfortable: "Grandma Eleven's words make sense. It's too early to say that. Then hurriedly said goodbye to Eleven Niang.
Amber couldn't help but feel a little angry as she looked at the carriage in the distance from Luo Mansion.
"This Tao mother is so restless! I think we need to teach her a good lesson. ”
"That's not necessary." Eleven Niang said lightly, "She was originally the eldest sister who stayed to take care of Brother Chen, if Brother Zhen set up her own yard to pass alone, it would be natural for her to follow the past." What's more, Tao's mother is shrewd, and with her by Brother Chen's side, she can also take some responsibility for us. ”
Amber knew that what Eleven Niang said made sense, but when she thought of Mother Tao retreating from the matter of Holly, and now she instigated the Luo family to send a big * milk to warn Eleven Niang, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart, and wanted to say something, but when she looked up, she saw a few little guys walking towards Xu Lingyi in court clothes.
He went into the palace today to see the emperor.
Amber hurriedly stopped the topic and followed behind Eleven Niang to salute Xu Lingyi.
"How do you stand here and talk?" Xu Lingyi said with a smile.
"Just sent my sister-in-law away!"
Xu Lingyi knew that Qi Niang had a treat today, and there was no doubt that he was there, so he and Eleven Niang went to the Chuilun Water Pavilion.
"Brother Zhen's business, do you have eyebrows?" On the way, Eleven Niang asked with concern.
"The emperor has approved it." Xu Lingyi said, "Just wait for the red on the excerpt invited by the Ministry of Rites!" ”
"So fast!" Eleven Niang was a little surprised, "I thought it would drag on for a few days!" ”
"Fast or slow is just a matter of words." Xu Lingyi said with a smile, "The emperor has a mouth, and the Ministry of Rites is naturally faster." If the emperor doesn't speak, the Ministry of Rites will naturally be slower. What's more, Brother Zhen is the son of Yuan, and there is no dispute. ”
Eleven Niang nodded: "Then shouldn't we start preparing for what Brother Zhen decides?" ”
Xu Lingyi nodded: "On our side, I am going to ask King Shun to be a matchmaker, what do you think?" ”
"If King Shun agrees, it will be better."
The two entered the house as they spoke, and Xu Lingyi took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and gave them to Eleven Niang: "Look at it." A letter from someone sent to Cangzhou. Then I went to the clean room to freshen up.
Eleven Niang sat on the big kang near the window and looked at the content carefully.
It is written on the paper that Shao Zhongran's heirs have never been prosperous, his great-grandfather and grandfather are only sons, and in his father's generation, there are only two brothers, and in Shao Zhongran's generation, there are only three brothers, Shao Zhongran has one brother, and one cousin. His father has a reputation for martial arts, is very proficient in general affairs, and his family is wealthy. Mother was born in a large family in Cangzhou.
Eleven Niang was a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, Shao Zhongran's father was very good at managing money.
After Xu Lingyi finished cleaning up, Eleven Niang and Xu Lingyi discussed: "I look at this matter, can I also tell Aunt Wen about it?" These days, she has been worried about Sister Zhen'er's affairs! ”
Xu Lingyi listened to a trace of hesitation in her eyes, and after a while, she said, "It's okay to let her listen." It's just that you can't be soft-hearted and let her meddle in Sister Zhen'er's marriage. so as not to have anything to do with the people of the Wen family. ”
That's why I was in a hurry to ask her what Aunt Wen said last time, right?
Eleven Niang responded, and called Aunt Wen over early the next morning.
Aunt Wen looked at Yixi and said, "Shao Gongzi's father is just thirty-eight years old this year. ”
Eleven Niang was puzzled.
Aunt Wen said with a smile: "Poor couples mourn everything. Shao Gongzi's father is proficient in common things, and he is in the prime of life, so the Shao family does not have to worry about money for at least twenty years. If Shao Gongzi is decided, what is not good! ”
Eleven Niang endured it so that she didn't laugh.
After that, he told Xu Lingyi to listen. Xu Lingyi snorted with a cold face: "She only knows these things in her heart!" "But it can't be denied that Aunt Wen's words are reasonable. But if you decide to marry the Shao family like this, you still feel a little sorry for such an excellent son as Li Ji.
was hesitating, and Brother Feng's will for the prince came down.
Xu Lingyi's expression was very calm when he received the order, but Xu Lingkuan was very happy, and raised Brother Zhen above his head and turned around twice: "Brother Zhen, you are now the son of the world!" ”
Brother Chen's face turned pale with fright, and he grabbed Xu Lingkuan's arm tightly and choked and shouted "Fifth Uncle".
The fifth lady twisted Xu Lingkuan's arm on the side: "You want to scare Brother Chen!" ”
Mrs. Tai also said nervously when she saw it: "Put it down, put it down!" ”
Xu Lingkuan smiled and put down Brother Zhen.
Sister Zhen hurriedly stepped forward and asked him, "How are you?" ”
Brother Chen's face was as white as paper, and he shook his head at Sister Zhen with a smile.
Eleven Niang looked for Xu Siyu.
He stood alone under the camphor tree in the corner of the courtyard, and his small body looked thin and lonely against the backdrop of the thick tree pole behind him.
She was hesitating to call him, but there was a panicked call from Sister Zhen'er: "Brother Zhen! Brother Zhen! ”
Shi Niang turned her head and saw Brother Zhen squatting on the ground vomiting.
Oops, looks like I was frightened just now!
In a flash of thought, she ran towards her brother.
Xu Lingyi was faster than her. Before she could get close to Brother Chen, he was already holding Brother Zhen and shouting "Doctor".
The people in the courtyard panicked.
Xu Lingkuan said even more frightened: "Fourth brother, I don't know ......"
"Now is not the time to say this!" Xu Lingyi glanced at him very calmly, and instructed Eleven Niang, "Call the people who serve around Brother Chen, and let's go to the outer study." ”
They received orders in the main hall of the Xu family, which was closer to the outer study.
Everyone followed Xu Lingyi and hurriedly went to the outer study.
Xu Lingyi put Brother Zhen on the Luohan bed in the living room.
The fifth lady had cleverly brought a small pestle and put it at the head of the bed and asked Mrs. Tai to sit, but Mrs. Tai gave it to the second lady: "You help him take the pulse first!" ”
The second lady sat down unceremoniously, and her slender fingers rested on the size of Brother Chen's left hand.
"I'm fine!" Brother Zhen, who was lying on the bed, said weakly, "I'm fine." It's just that my head is a little dizzy. ”
Everyone's eyes were on the second lady.
You can hear pins falling in the room.
The second lady put down her left hand and took the pulse of her right hand, and then nodded to the people in the room: "It's nothing!" Maybe I was scared just now! ”
There was a long cries of ups and downs in the room.
The fifth lady poked Xu Lingkuan and said to Xu Lingyi: "Fourth brother, they are all ministers who don't know the severity. I think Brother Zhen's banquet to celebrate the prince's banquet made him out! ”
When Xu Lingkuan heard this, he nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "I'm out, I'm out!" ”
