Back in the lotus flowers, it is already the beginning of the lanterns.

They went to greet Mrs. Tai first.

Brother Zhen and Sister Zhen are playing rope flipping on the kang. Seeing Xu Lingyi coming in, both of them froze there.

Mrs. Tai, who was sitting on the edge of the kang and laughing and watching the two of them play with the rope, couldn't help touching Brother Zhen'er's head: "It's not a tiger, can you still eat it?" ”

Brother Zhen tightly grabbed Mrs. Tai's sleeve and looked at his father timidly according to Mrs. Tai.

Xu Lingyi looked at it and frowned.

Brother Chen's expression was even more nervous.

He just got married, and he is still an outsider in the eyes of everyone in the Xu family. It's always bad for father and son to confront each other like this, and if they say something serious and be seen by themselves, I'm afraid that Mrs. Tai will feel uncomfortable.

Shi Niang smiled and asked Sister Zhen'er: "Have you eaten?" ”

Sister Zhen was very surprised, got off the kang, and said respectfully: "I have already eaten." ”

Eleven Niang smiled and nodded.

Sister Zhen'er's eyes showed a few guards.

In the end, she is a little girl, and she can show it whatever she thinks. However, if it were you, you would be wary!

Eleven Niang couldn't help it.

With Eleven Niang's question and Sister Zhen'er's answer, the atmosphere in the room eased a lot.

Mrs. Tai glanced at Eleven Niang, and there was a little relief in her eyes.

When Xu Lingyi and Shi Niang saluted Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Tai smiled and asked Brother Zhen and Sister Zhen to salute the two.

Sister Zhen is half-squatting and blessed, her movements are very steady, and her posture is very beautiful. Brother Zhen is a little lame and crooked, and he looks very rusty.

Eleven Niang thought that when she came to see Yuan Niang, she was a nurse holding her and saluting, guessing that he might rarely salute people on weekdays.

Xu Lingyi's brows furrowed even tighter as he looked at it.

Mrs. Tai hurriedly said: "It's not early, everyone should rest!" ”

I don't want Xu Lingyi to send down Brother Zhen in front of her...... But such a straightforwardness still made Eleven Niang a little surprised. thought of Xu Lingkuan's liveliness again...... I feel that Mrs. Tai is a bit of a spoiler child. However, Xu Lingyi doesn't seem to have any pampering problems. Maybe that's right. After all, the time I have been in contact with him is very short, and I may not have noticed it......

She couldn't help but glance at Xu Lingyi.

I saw him saluting Mrs. Tai with a sullen face: "Mother is so resting!" Let's go back first. ”

Eleven Niang hurriedly followed Xu Lingyi to salute and resigned from Mrs. Tai with him.

On the road, Xu Lingyi's face sank like water, his steps were hurried, and Eleven Niang had to trot a few steps to keep up with his pace after walking a few steps.

A fool can guess that he is in a bad mood, and a fool will not touch his moldy head at this time.

The maids, including Eleven Niang, followed them quietly.

After passing the courtyard of the Flower Hall, Dianchun Hall, Xu Lingkuan and Yuan Niang along the east-west road, Xu Lingyi suddenly stopped.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but look.

On the left is a bamboo forest, and on the right is a black lacquered corner gate.

The maid who followed was Shi Niang's person, everyone was a little dazed, but the little girl was Xu Lingyi's person, and someone immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Master Hou and Mrs. are back." ”

The corner door opened with a "squeak", and a mother-in-law came out to salute: "Master Hou, madam!" ”

Xu Lingyi didn't even look at the mother-in-law, and walked straight in.

Eleven Niang didn't dare to stay longer, and followed him into the corner gate, only to find that this was the back door of her yard.

The corner door is connected to the verandah of the back room. They went straight up to the east side of the verandah to the main room.

The two entered the house, and Xu Lingyi directly called Chun Mo and Xia Yi to change his clothes.

Eleven Niang didn't dare to be idle, so she went to make a cup of tea in person.

Xu Lingyi changed her clothes and sat on the kang near the window to take a sip, looking at Eleven Niang with a little surprise.

Eleven Niang explained with a smile: "I have watched Hou Ye drink Tieguanyin for the past few days, so I made you a cup according to the custom!" ”

Xu Lingyi nodded, "um", his face was slightly pale, and then took another sip.

Finally, the horse's fart didn't hit the horse's leg.

Shi Niang breathed a sigh of relief and asked him with a smile: "Do you want to eat something?" Before I went out, I ordered the kitchen to stew rock sugar, lotus seeds, and white fungus soup. ”

Last night, Amber told her that they had a small kitchen in the courtyard, and the Xu family also provided two mothers on the stove, two rough mothers-in-law, and two little maids, who were on duty day and night, and had hot water and hot meals at any time.

Xu Lingyi's eyebrows stretched a little more: "I don't eat at night, if you're hungry, go eat by yourself!" ”

If nothing else, the two will be tied together for the rest of their lives. You guess I guess it's an ambiguity between lovers, and it's not suitable for their situation. Why not make life simpler?

"I was afraid that you would drink too much wine, so I made some sweet." Although she took the initiative, she still introduced herself to Xu Lingyi very tactfully, "I don't eat at night, I'm afraid of accumulating food." ”

Xu Lingyi raised her eyebrows, didn't say anything, lowered her head and took a sip of tea.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but smile slightly.

She was also a talker and laugher in college, and she even won a debate championship. Later, when I came to the workplace, I didn't want to say a word when I got home because of work. After a long time, neighbors and friends said that she was too reticent. Unexpectedly, Xu Lingyi had fewer words than her. And this kind of silence is not the same as her, it seems to be born - in front of the Queen Mother, he is also concise and to the point, without a word of nonsense.

Although the two don't need to talk sweetly together, they are relatively speechless, which makes people a little uncomfortable!

Is it impossible to find something to say in the future?

Thinking of this, Eleven Niang couldn't help but have a headache.

She's not a good homemaker. Moreover, she was very suspicious that Xu Lingyi would like to hear people gossip......

Xu Lingyi, who was sitting opposite Eleven Niang, didn't have so much thought.

He only felt that the tea was a little cold, but it was still in his mouth. More often than not, I was thinking about Brother Zhen.

Yuan Niang has always listened to the words of the Changchun Taoist, and then tossed and turned, and sure enough, when she was pregnant with a child, she believed it even more. Brother Zhen was not born yet, so he asked the Changchun Taoist to tell the hexagram. Changchun Taoist said at the time that this baby was a male. It's not easy to feed. Before the age of ten, you will experience the plague of blood, water, and innocence. If you pass these three hurdles, you will be able to have a smooth life, and if you can't overcome these three hurdles, you will be more auspicious. Therefore, it needs to be taken care of with great care. Later, she gave birth to Brother Zhen, and in response to the man's words, Yuan Niang was bleeding heavily when she gave birth to Brother Zhen, and she responded to the disaster of blood and light; When I was ten months old, I choked on water in the bath and almost lost my life...... Since then, Yuan Niang has not let the child leave her for half a day.

I am not down-to-earth in my heart, and I turn a blind eye to everything, but I didn't expect that I would raise him into a girl's family, and I only knew how to turn over the rope and throw sandbags......

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

It can't be like this anymore...... Raised in the hands of women, I am afraid that it will be difficult to become an atmosphere. This family still needs him to support it!

A little maid came in tremblingly and said, "Master Hou, madam, Aunt Wen came to say hello!" ”

Eleven Niang found that Xu Lingyi's expression sank a little, and then said "um" lightly.

Aunt Wen smiled and walked in with a red lacquer and gold box: "Master Hou and my sister have been tired for the past few days, and it just so happened that Third Master Wen sent two ginseng sticks and a pound of blood swallows a few days ago. I specially brought it over to make up for my sister's body. As she spoke, she watched Xu Lingyi hold the box in front of Eleven Niang.

Such courtesy!

Eleven Niang thought of Aunt Wen's peeping in the courtyard that day, and she wanted to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger to accept these things. But seeing her big eyes watery looking at Xu Lingyi, she immediately changed her mind and decided to let Xu Lingyi make a choice quietly.

And Amber will definitely not move without the signal of Eleven Niang.

For a while, Aunt Wen froze in mid-air with the white tender and soft wattle holding the red gold-painted box.

Xu Lingyi didn't understand why Eleven Niang didn't speak, so she glanced at her. It just so happened that Eleven Niang looked over inquiringly, and the eyes of the two collided.

This is a matter of the inner court, do you want me to speak......

But when he thought of the merciless admonition of the eldest lady of the Luo family today, and guessed that she might never have been taught in this regard, he couldn't help but nod his head.

Eleven Niang immediately understood, smiled and said to Aunt Wen, "I make you miss it", and Amber took two steps forward to take the box.

Aunt Wen's heart was slightly cold.

Ever since she knew that Eleven Niang would marry, she regretted it very much. I really shouldn't have offended her when I was in the courtyard that day. I've always wanted to make up for it, but I haven't found a suitable opportunity. She came here today to offer medicinal herbs. First, I want to tell Shi Niangwen what kind of family the Wen family is - two hundred-year-old ginseng and a pound of blood swallow are not something that can be bought with money. I want to scare her. The second is to see the reaction of Eleven Niang. Whether to take it with a smile or show her face. If it's the former, I'm afraid that it's a scheming person, then I have to be careful and find a way to untie this heart. If it's the latter, then there's nothing to worry about, and it's okay to take more gold and silver to make her happy...... Unexpectedly, she would look at Hou Ye and ask Hou Ye to help her make up her mind, but Hou Ye, who never interfered in the affairs of the inner courtyard, told her how to act, obviously to protect her.

"Master Hou and Mrs. are tired for a day." She looked at Eleven Niang's delicate eyebrows, and countless thoughts flashed in her heart, "The slave maid will leave." lest you miss the hour of rest. ”

Shi Niang nodded with a smile, watched Aunt Wen leave, and then asked Xu Lingyi: "Does Master Hou want to rest?" ”

Xu Lingyi was about to speak, when a little maid came in and said, "Master Hou, madam, the second young master, Aunt Qin, and Aunt Qiao are here to say hello!" ”

"Let them in!" Eleven Niang found that Xu Lingyi had a slight smile in her eyes, and her tone was also very gentle.

Could it be that Xu Lingyi doesn't like the eight-faced and delicate Aunt Wen? Or, do you like Xu Siyu very much?
