The steps of Shaohuayuan are still so high, and the young grass that has just emerged is swaying in the stone cracks.

Eleven Niang carried the hem of her skirt and walked up the steps cautiously, always worried that one would fall if she was not careful.

It is spring, Wanmu Fusu, but it is the time when the bamboo leaves are withering, the spring breeze blows, and the withered yellow leaves fall in a row, quite a few autumn gloom.

Yuxiang hurriedly greeted him: "Master Hou, Fourth Lady!" She bowed her knees, "Madame is telling the eldest lady about the Book of Songs......"

"Shall we wait a minute, then?" Eleven Niang asked Xu Lingyi's opinion, raised her eyelids and saw that there was a stone table and stone pier in the bamboo forest, and pointed with a smile, "Or, let's sit in the bamboo forest, right?" so as not to disturb the second sister-in-law and sister Zhen. ”

Although the spring sun is warm, wearing a jacket all the way, the body is still a little hot.

There was a cool breeze in the forest, which made Xu Lingyi breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Okay! ”

"This ......" Yuuka looked embarrassed.

Eleven Niang smiled before she could speak: "We are also tired of walking, so we just have a rest here." You can help Hou Ye prepare some warm tea! ”

Yuxiang didn't insist anymore, so he led the little maid to take a brocade mat and put it on the stone pier to invite the two to sit down, and served two cups of Biluochun.

"Go ahead and get busy with yours!" Eleven Niang picked up the teacup and took a sip, "We just have a little maid to serve here." When the second sister-in-law finishes teaching Sister Zhen'er, you can just say hello. ”

Seeing that Xu Lingyi didn't make a sound, Jiexiang bent her knees and said "yes", and retreated, leaving only a little maid who didn't have a head to stand aside.

Xu Lingyi took a few sips of tea and said, "I haven't come here to sit here for a long time!" ”

"Did Master Hou come here often?" Shi Niang smiled when she heard this, "This is the second time I've come." ”

"This used to be the second brother's study." Xu Lingyi looked at the bamboos in the courtyard, "These bamboos were planted by the second brother back then...... Later, the second sister-in-law moved here and never came again......" her eyes flashed with memories.

This is part of the way Eleven Niang can't empathize, but she can choose to respect.

Listening to the remnants of the bamboo, feeling the comfort of the breeze, Eleven Niang quietly accompanied him to drink tea.

The second lady in a ethereal dress was accompanied by Yuuka and brought Sister Zhen over briskly.

Xu Lingyi hurriedly got up and saluted: "Second sister-in-law! ”

Eleven Niang followed and stood up.

The second lady stopped ten paces away from them, looking at Eleven Niang with a few smiles in her eyes, her white porcelain-like face shining like jade in the quiet bamboo forest.

"Master Hou, fourth brother and sister!"

Sister Zhen stepped forward to salute her parents.

Eleven Niang took her with a smile and greeted the second lady: "Second sister-in-law! ”

The second lady nodded slightly and asked Xu Lingyi, "Is Master Hou sitting here?" Or go inside for a cup of tea? ”

Xu Lingyi thought of the purpose of coming here, and felt that it was more solemn to speak in the house, so he smiled and said, "Let's go to the second sister-in-law's house and sit down!" ”

The second lady leaned sideways and made a gesture of please. Eleven Niang followed Xu Lingyi into the house.

A handful of spring flowers are inserted in the blue and white flowers of the long case of the hall house, with delicate yellow petals and wanton stretching branches, full of spring vitality.

Sister Zhen retreated obediently. Xu Lingyi and the others sat down in priority and served tea.

The second lady took a sip of the teacup and said straight to the point: "Why do the Hou Ye and his younger siblings have time to come to me to sit here today?" His eyes stopped on Eleven Niang's body before turning away.

Eleven Niang smiled and picked up the teacup - Xu Lingyi is the head of the family, and at this time, the right to speak is still left to him.

"It's mainly for Brother Yu's business!" Xu Lingyi didn't beat around the bush, and said bluntly, "First, I want to thank my second sister-in-law." This marriage can be made thanks to the second sister-in-law. Second, we want to formally hire the Xiang family after the ceremony, and we also want to ask the second sister-in-law to probe the tone of Lord Xiang - I count the days, Lord Xiang should be about to leave in the next few days. When the time comes, I will also ask someone to propose. ”

"Family, why should it be so clear." The second lady glanced at Shi Niang, who was sitting silently on the side with a smile on her face, and glanced at her, "Brother Yu is my nephew, and I should help run errands." ”

"It's for our business." Xu Lingyi glanced at his wife, who was sitting under him, and said to the second lady in a sincere tone, "Why should we come and thank the second sister-in-law!" ”

"yes!" Eleven Niang took the conversation with a smile, "Although Brother Yu is a nephew, you really feel sorry for him." Only then can he settle such a good family business. As parents, we should also say thank you to our second sister-in-law. ”

Xu Lingyi nodded slightly.

The second lady looked at the couple singing and singing in front of her, her eyes flashed slightly, and she said with a smile: "Brother and sister, you don't have to be polite to me!" Then he took the initiative to bring up the matter of returning to Xiang's house," ...... I'll go back tomorrow. ”

Xu Lingyi thanked the second lady again.

The second lady shook her hand: "Master Hou is like this, but it seems to be divided!" ”

Xu Lingyi didn't say anything anymore and made an appointment to reply in the afternoon.

Mrs. Tai over there knew that Xu Lingyi and Shi Niang went to Shaohua Courtyard together, and said with a smile: "In this way, the two have reconciled!" ”

"It should be!" Du's mother smiled, "The maid said that the two of them talked and laughed. ”

Mrs. Tai breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good." I'm still afraid that this kid is not sensible and blindly cold-faced with the fourth child. You know, there is a degree to everything. What's more, the fourth child is also a strong temper. Then he asked, "Why did you find out why you were angry?" ”

Mother Du shook her head: "Some words are not easy to ask deeply!" ”

Mrs. Tai thought about it and smiled with relief: "Forget it." Small couple, bedside fight and bedside and. As long as they are harmonious. ”

Mother Du nodded with a smile.

"But what are they going to do with Yizhen?" said that it didn't matter, but he was still a little curious, "You will call Yizhen later, I'll ask!" ”

Du's mother smiled: "Didn't you say it doesn't matter?" ”

"These are two different things." Mrs. Tai disagreed, "One is the personnel in the house, and the other is the people outside the house." There is a saying in this house, 'husband and wife do not get along with their neighbors, they also deceive'. If the two of them are a little troubled, I'll ask, won't it make everyone know about it? Let everyone think that they are not in harmony with their husbands and wives. Small things have become big things. In the same way, if the two of them have a quarrel, I will ignore it, and others will inevitably wonder if I look down on Eleven Niang if they look down on the eleventh mother, and they will follow the highs and lows, let alone give her face. But things outside the house are different. Since the two of them went to ask together, it must have been discussed, I just asked, others know that they only laugh at my old heart, but they can't hurt the dignity of the two of them! ”

"You always have a point!" Mother Du joked with a smile and called Wei Zi in, "You go to Shaohua Courtyard to have a look." If the Hou Ye and the fourth lady leave, invite the second lady to come over. ”

Wei Zi left in response.

Mrs. Tai smiled slightly: "What did Mrs. Jining say over there?" ”

Early this morning, Mrs. Jining came to visit the fifth lady.

Mother Du looked at it and smiled: "Say that the second miss is fine." I took the pulse and left a few boxes of soothing incense. I am lecturing to the fifth lady. ”

Mrs. Tai frowned: "Little child, it's not good to be like this." ”

Mother Du cautiously looked at Mrs. Tai's expression and remained silent.

Mrs. Tai pondered for a moment and instructed her mother: "You will go to the red light alley and discuss this matter with the old marquis." If it doesn't work, let the old marquis take her home and live there for a few days. Change places, maybe this disease will be cured! Saying that, he sighed, "This kid usually looks like a thousand smart, but he can......'t sink it when it's critical," and then his voice was low, and he said, "It's not as good as Eleven Niang!" ”

Mother Du didn't dare to second, but she didn't hear it, and smiled and changed a cup of hot tea for Mrs. Tai.

Yuxiang brought Wei Zi a cup of warm tea: "Sister Wei Zi came all the way here, and she is thirsty." This is the Biluochun sent by our uncle, Sister Wei Zi to try it. ”

Where did Wei Zi dare to sit there steadily, and hurriedly took a few steps forward to take the teacup: "Sister Yuxiang, don't be so polite!" ”

Yuxiang didn't say anything anymore, smiled, and said, "Please also ask Sister Wei Zi to sit down, Mrs. change her clothes, and it will be fine immediately!" ”

Wei Zi said politely: "I'll wait here." If my sister has something to do, just go and don't worry about me. ”

Yuuka exchanged a few more words with her and went to the second lady's inner room.

"After asking for a long time, Sister Wei Zi doesn't know what Mrs. Tai is looking for you to do."

The second lady smiled and wiped the fragrant honey on her face, and said lightly: "This still needs to be asked, most of it is for the sake of Eleven Niang and Hou Ye!" ”

Yuuka has always been convinced of the judgment of the second lady, but she still said strangely: "The fourth lady and the Hou Ye are angry? Why didn't I see it? How did Madame know? ”

"If it weren't for the gas, how could the two of them come to me together." The second lady said lightly to the figure in the mirror, "I guess, most of the time the Hou Ye entrusted me to be a matchmaker without consulting with Shi Niang - otherwise, with Shi Niang's cautious character, she would have thanked me when she met me at Mrs. Tai that day." Instead of waiting until today, I brought the Hou Ye together. Speaking of this, she turned around and smiled at Yuxiang, "However, she can support Master Hou, and she is also a very interesting person!" ”

Yuuka didn't think it was interesting. She frowned and said in a low voice: "Madam, didn't you say that you are only a middleman, and whether this marriage is successful or not is up to the Hou and Uncle themselves?" Why did you promise Hou Ye to go back......"

"That's why I said that the fourth lady is an interesting person!" The second lady smiled, "I thought she wouldn't agree if she found out." Who knows, but she pulled the Hou Ye to me to thank me. As she spoke, she winked at Yuka, "So I decided to make this trip anyway!" ”

"But where is my uncle?" Yuuka was a little worried.

"What's wrong with her, what's wrong with her?" The second lady said disapprerovingly, "She just shouted at the eldest brother to go back to her parents' house and tell her father and her mother's brother!" What else could she think of otherwise? Back then, I let her everywhere, not because her father was Shuntianfu Yin, but for the sake of her being able to live a good life with her brother. But when the second master died, she was able to disperse all the servants in the family, crying and arguing that she had to go to office with her brother, and my heart was lightened. ”
