Back in the lotus, Eleven Niang and Xu Lingyi went to Mrs. Tai to say hello first.

Mrs. Tai was very happy to see them come back, and hurriedly asked Mother Du to pass the food.

Xu Lingyi smiled and sat opposite Mrs. Tai: "Have you eaten yet?" ”

"I've eaten it!" Mrs. Tai looked at Eleven Niang standing behind Xu Lingyi, and her expression was a little hesitant.

Xu Lingyi looked at it and smiled, and said, "Mother, don't worry, we met the Queen Mother, is there anything wrong?" ”

Mrs. Tai wanted to speak and stopped.

Eleven Niang saw it, and Mrs. Tai had something to say to Xu Lingyi.

She smiled and bowed to Mrs. Tai: "I'm going to see why the food hasn't come yet?" ”

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of both mother and son, but neither of them kept her.

Eleven Niang looked at it and understood, and retreated with a smile.

Mrs. Tai looked at the back of Eleven Niang and bowed slightly: "What a clever little girl." ”

I don't know why, Xu Lingyi coughed slightly when she heard this, and said, "Mother, there will be nothing wrong with the Queen Mother's side." Then he told Mrs. Tai about the conversation with the Queen Mother, "...... Shou Changbo is trying to meddle in the shipping business and can't do it, and now I say this, how can the Queen Mother still take care of the little gap before! I'm afraid that Shou Changbo will be recruited to speak today. ”

Mrs. Tai couldn't help but sigh softly when she heard this: "Over the years, Jianning Hou and Shouchang have dominated the business of the Dushui Division, and other families can't insert needles or splash water, but I didn't expect to start the idea of the Internal Affairs Office again." Speaking of which, the Yang family has made a lot of money over the years, why don't they know to stop it? She couldn't figure out why only the emperor gave an iron rice bowl in this world, and the others were flashy. How much money is also imaginary. ”

Xu Lingyi smiled and said: "There are a few people in the world who can see through these glory and wealth like you!" ”

Mrs. Tai couldn't help laughing: "You kid, you know how to make fun of your mother." He smiled again, "It seems that there is still a person in the house, and he can even speak a lot more easily." ”

Xu Lingyi couldn't help but look at it slightly, and said expectantly: "What time is the time to recognize relatives?" lest we be late. ”

Mrs. Tai smiled: "I'm afraid that you will come back late, and it will be at the beginning of Shen." ”

Xu Lingyi took out his pocket watch and took a look: "There are still two hours." ”

Mrs. Tai nodded and said, "There is something I want to discuss with you." As he spoke, he didn't wait for Xu Lingyi to answer, and said straightly, "Brother Zhen, let's put it in my room!" ”

Xu Lingyi was slightly stunned.

Mrs. Tai said: "She is not only the mother of the child, but also the aunt of the child, I have nothing to worry about." I'm worried that she is young, she has just entered the house, and there are many things to do, so I can't take care of her, so I will help her watch a few days first. When she gets started, it's not too late to let Brother Zhen follow her. ”

Xu Lingyi suddenly thought of the waist that Yingying held last night......

"It's too small." He muttered, "You can help watch it first." ”

Mrs. Tai said slightly, and said, "Since she has entered the door, it is not good for the third daughter-in-law to help manage the affairs of the family." But this was set by Yuan Niang when she was there, and she took the key as soon as she entered the door, afraid that there would be gossip. I mean, let the third daughter-in-law take care of the family's affairs. I'll talk about it when I get a chance! ”

"Mother is thoughtful." Xu Lingyi smiled, "Just follow your arrangement!" ”

"Hmm!" Seeing that she was worried that Xu Lingyi would disagree with the two things, Xu Lingyi relied on herself, the smile on her face deepened, and she asked about Xu Lingyi: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"The doctor said I had foot paralysis. I can't go to the bitter cold land anymore, and I have to spend three or five years to take care of it. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will be paralyzed in bed. ”

Mrs. Tai laughed: "This foot paralysis is good." I can't see anything unusual, whether the disease occurs or not depends on the weather, but who can say for sure this weather! ”

"That's exactly what happened." Xu Lingyi smiled, "I'm afraid that I will be at home in the future." ”

"It's good to be at home!" Mrs. Tai's eyes were full of pity when she looked at her son: "You should also rest at home." The junior is honest and loyal, and the junior five is not enough to become a big man. You're the breadwinner of the family......

"Mother, don't say that." Xu Lingyi said with a smile, "The third brother is a cautious person, and Xiao Wu hasn't grown up yet." It will be fine later. He didn't want to discuss this issue with his mother, so he immediately changed the topic, "When did the fifth brother and sister give birth?" Is there anything else I can do to help? Do you want to live in a different place? Or move to another courtyard in Xishan? ”

"How can there be so much exquisiteness?" Mrs. Tai said with a smile, "Qin Tianjian said that cattle and sheep don't meet. Danyang is a sheep, as long as you don't meet a cow, it's fine. I have asked Du's mother to do it herself, and all the cattle in the family have temporarily moved to Xishan Courtyard to avoid avoidance...... Nothing will happen? ”

Xu Lingyi nodded: "That's good!" ”

"I don't know how? I gave birth to four boys and one girl, and I didn't have to work as hard as you did. Mrs. Tai's tone was stunned, "I only hope that the Bodhisattva will bless Danyang and become a man in one fell swoop and import Ding for our Xu family." ”

Xu Lingyi is not easy to answer this topic. happened to have Yao Huang coming: "Where is the food?" ”

Mrs. Tai pointed to the east room, "Just put it there!" ”

Yao Huang and the little maids hurriedly removed the kang table on the big kang near the window in the east room and replaced it with the kang table where the food had been arranged.

Xu Lingyi couldn't help asking, "What about the fourth lady?" ”

Yao Huang smiled: "I'm drinking tea with Mother Du in the ear room!" ”

Xu Lingyi was slightly surprised.

He thought she would be bored and waiting outside the door......

Yao Huang looked busy and said, "Sister Wei Zi has already gone to invite the fourth lady!" ”

Xu Lingyi nodded, and saw Eleven Niang walk in.

"Say hello to my mother and come over for dinner!" He nodded faintly towards Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang answered "yes", went to greet Mrs. Tai as she said, and sat opposite Xu Lingyi.

The maid fetched water and cleaned her hands, she asked for a small bowl of porridge, and when she saw that Xu Lingyi asked for a big bowl of rice, she waited for Xu Lingyi while eating, and when Xu Lingyi put down the bowl, she also finished eating.

Xu Lingyi's gaze fell on her bowl.

Shi Niang thought he would say something, she had thought of the excuses of "I have a small amount of food" and "I usually eat so much", but Xu Lingyi didn't say anything.

The two thanked Mrs. Tai for the meal, and then went back to the house to freshen up and prepare for the afternoon confession.

Xu Lingyi asked her if she wanted to take a break: "...... The recognition of relatives will not be confirmed until the afternoon. ”

Eleven Niang felt that she was about to fall apart, so she was not polite to him, and immediately nodded: "I'll sleep for a while." ”

Xu Lingyi nodded and went to the study - his study was in the east wing of the front courtyard.

Eleven Niang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, simply freshened up, and fell asleep.

When Holly woke her up, she was still lying in bed for a while.

The first ancestor of the Xu family was just a horse orphan who didn't know his parents, and he happened to follow Emperor Taizong, which led to this family business. Later, he was implicated in the "Zheng An Wang Rebellion Case", and several houses went their own way. By the time Yingzong was reinstated, except for an uncle who settled in Nanjing, the other rooms could not be found.

Therefore, when the third lady introduced her relatives from Nanjing to Shi Niang, she only said: "This is the grand * milk from the south, the rich second grandmother, and the third grandmother!" ”

They are the uncle's three concubines, except for Xu Linghong, the husband of Hongda*, who is older than Xu Lingyi, the other two are younger than Xu Lingyi.

Eleven Niang bent her knees and handed over the needle and thread she had made.

The three grandmothers each gave Eleven Niang a set of noodles.

He also introduced Mrs. Yongchang Bohuang: "...... A godsister who swore to her mother! ”

Mrs. Huang smiled and rewarded Shi Niang's pair of lapis lazuli comb grates.

As for the second lady, the fifth lady, Brother Zhen and Sister Zhen, she all knew each other. So she carefully looked at Xu Lingyi's eldest son Xu Siyu and Xu Lingning's two sons Xu Siqin and Xu Sijian.

Xu Siyu is eleven years old, with a white face and a pair of round and long phoenix eyes. not only looks like Xu Lingyi, behaves politely, and the calm energy that advances and retreats is more like Xu Lingyi. and Xu Lingyi as if it was printed out of a mold.

Xu Siqin is three years older than Xu Siyu, and he ranks first among the heirs. Like all teenagers who are in puberty, he is thin and tall, but his facial features are very beautiful, and he looks like a third lady.

may be because of the relationship with Eleven Niang at the same age, his expression was a little embarrassed when he received the gift.

Xu Sijian was neither as steady as his cousin Xu Siyu, who was only a few months older than him, nor as shy as his brother Xu Siqin. He was skinny and small, with a quick eye. As soon as Eleven Niang took out the needle and thread given to him, he immediately went up to pick it up: "How dare you work for the fourth aunt, I'll come, I'll come!" ”

When children say something about an adult, it naturally makes everyone laugh.

Everyone ate in the flower hall. Mrs. Tai personally sent Mrs. Huang away.

Xu Lingkuan shouted to go out for a walk: "...... It's a rare trip, so let's get somewhere to see! ”

The three cousins from the south all had this intention, and Xu Lingyi and Xu Lingning went out together.

Hongda* Grandma and Dingsan Grandma went to the second lady to rest, but the rich second grandmother wanted to go to the third lady to rest: "...... I met the fourth lady when she passed away, and I wanted to talk about it. ”

At this moment, only the eleventh mother, the third lady and the rich second grandmother are left.

The people around Shi Niang were a little uncomfortable. Eleven Niang smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then I will neglect the third brother and sister." ”

She had a warm smile and a kind attitude, and she didn't see any unpleasantness.

The rich second grandmother glanced at the third lady, smiled and exchanged a few words with the eleventh mother, and then followed the third lady to her residence.

Back in the house, Holly couldn't help but feel sorry for Eleven Niang: "...... It's too hurtful to talk! ”

Eleven Niang called the four maids over, and said solemnly: "The eldest sister is the first match of the Hou Ye, this is something that no one can erase." None of you are allowed to hear the mention of the eldest sister being uncomfortable or cranky. ”

The four of them bent their knees in unison.

Amber volunteered to stay and watch the night.

"I've got you to ask me about everything." She helped Eleven Niang distribute it," Tao's mother said, Mrs. Tai gets up at the right time every day, goes out of the inner room at the beginning of the morning, and eats breakfast at the beginning of the morning. Everyone will go to say hello from the time of the hour to the beginning of the day. As soon as the first day of the first year passes, several mothers who are always there to serve will accompany them to the nunnery to recite the scriptures. Eat lunch at noon, don't take a nap, don't get up. In the afternoon, I will play with Sister Zhen and Brother Zhen, or play cards with the third lady and the fifth lady. Youchu has dinner, and then goes to the yard for a while, Youzheng goes back to the house left and right, and you rest at the beginning of the year. ”

It is not only regular, but also in line with the way of health preservation......

Eleven Niang groaned: "Since this is the case, then you will call me to get up at the right time every day in the future!" ”
