Chapter 202: Appearance (I)
Xu Lingyi spent a day in ushering in the send-off. Even lunch and dinner were eaten in the outer courtyard.
Eleven Niang, as usual, went to Mrs. Tai first.
The third lady arrived early and was talking to Mrs. Tai with a smile on her face. Mrs. Tai did not seem to be in good spirits, and listened absentmindedly.
Seeing Eleven Niang coming in, Mrs. Tai sent the third lady and left her to speak.
ββ¦β¦ That kid, really has a pair of phoenix eyes? "It's as if I don't believe it's true.
Eleven Niang nodded. I want to fight for Feng Qing in front of Mrs. Tai. I told Mrs. Tai about the injuries on his body.
Mrs. Tai didn't say anything for a while, but she said that Brother Zhen came: "...... The spring of next year will be enlightened, and I asked Wei Zi to accompany him to paint red in the warm pavilion. β
Seeing that Mrs. Tai deliberately avoided this matter, Eleven Niang was not in a hurry, and followed her words: "It's better to take the pen early, so as not to see that Mr. doesn't understand anything, and he is scared, but he is unwilling to learn." β
"That's exactly what it is." Mrs. Tai smiled, "Children, if you take the lead, you will learn more and more energetically." The meaning of the fourth child is that he wants to invite a gentleman to give lessons to Qin'er, Brother Yu, and Jian'er, and Brother Zhen also follows the three elder brothers. But I think it's better to go to the clan study. After all, Qin'er is older and has learned a lot. Brother Zhen followed, being pressed everywhere, afraid that he would be afraid in his heart...... "Talk to Eleven Niang about how many children go to school."
Eleven Niang accompanied her to talk, and went to see Brother Zhen with Mrs. Tai, and then sent Mrs. Tai to the Buddha Hall, and then went to Fengqing.
Binju greeted him: "Madam, everything is packed up, and you can leave at any time." β
She rested with Holly yesterday in Banyuepan.
Eleven Niang nodded and went to the bedroom with her.
Feng Qing changed into an old peach-colored silk jacket from Nanyong's daughter, her hands and face were clean, her lips were red and her teeth were white, like a girl, very beautiful. Holly was half-crouching beside him and talking to him. Hearing the movement, he raised his eyelids and saw Eleven Niang, and immediately hugged the food box on the side in his arms, looking at Eleven Niang vigilantly.
Holly knew that it was Eleven Niang who came in, so she hurriedly got up and bent her knees to salute Eleven Niang, and said with a wry smile: "Madam, Binju and I have persuaded Young Master Fengqing for a long time, but Young Master Fengqing just refuses to put down the food box." Take it wherever you go. We can't help it. β
Binju hurriedly said, "Yes, madam." We all persuaded it. β
"There's still some snacks in the food box, right?" Eleven Niang thought for a while and asked.
Binju nodded: "There is also a pack of donkeys rolling, a pack of Aiwowo, and a pack of pea yellow." β
This kid is really hungry and scared!
Shi Niang sighed: "Take out the dim sum, he will naturally lose the food box." Then he told them about Feng Qinghui's stay in the mansion for the New Year, "...... For the time being, I live in Banyuepan. Hamaju came to see it every now and then and helped. And he commanded them. There is a well and a river here, you must be careful, and you must not let Young Master Fengqing leave your eyes. β
The two of them responded with a respectful "yes", and Binju smiled even more: "There is a second lady living in Xishan, with big rules and many exquisiteness, Sister Holly was worried that she would be rude yesterday!" It's good that I don't have to go. β
Holly's face flushed slightly when she heard this: "Aren't I afraid of losing my lady's face?" β
Eleven Niang can understand their worries.
The second lady looks noble and elegant, and ordinary people will be ashamed of themselves in front of her.
She smiled and cheered them up: "What to do, what to do, what to be afraid of." "Urge them again," Take out the snacks in the food box, change them into a paper box, and let Feng Qing take them with you. As he spoke, he sighed and touched Feng Qing's head, "If you have food every day in the future, it won't be like this." β
Holly and Binju's smiles gradually faded, and they looked at Feng Qing sympathetically.
Feng Qing saw that everyone was looking at him, and hugged the food box tighter.
Shi Niang couldn't help but sigh slightly, squatted down to help him straighten his clothes, and told him his decision not to go to Xishan for the time being: "...... You have to be obedient and live here with Holly. If you want to go somewhere. Don't run around alone, tell Holly and let him take you. β
Feng Qing couldn't understand the explanations that Eleven Niang said, he only knew that he would continue to live here.
He nodded to Eleven Niang like pounding garlic, his smile was as bright as the sunshine in June, and he also took out the Aiwowo in the food box for Eleven Niang to eat.
Eleven Niang didn't want it, but Feng Qing had to stuff it for her: "It's delicious!" Eleven Niang had to take a small bite, and then took the opportunity to change the dim sum in the food box to the paper box. He carefully told Feng Qing, Holly and Binju a few words, and went to the third lady.
The things that should be ordered have been ordered, and now they only need to deal with emergencies, and the third lady is more relaxed than before.
Asked Eleven Niang to sit opposite her, she lowered her voice: "Why did you come at this time." Mom is okay, right? How do I look so bad! There was a hint of snooping in his tone.
Eleven Niang vaguely prevaricated, told her something about the New Year, and then found an excuse to go back to her house, and then asked Luyun to move the embroidery shelf to the kang, and began to embroider the screen.
Just embroidered a few stitches, a little maid came: "Grandma Qian, the country's eunuch, is here." β
Eleven Niang was stunned.
I don't know if it's because I have no intention of avoiding something, or because it's inconvenient to be pregnant, since she married into the Xu family, Wu Niang has never come. And because she has a mother-in-law and a husband-in-law, it is not easy for her to go out, and she has never visited Wuniang.
She thought of Luo Zhenxing, who came suddenly early in the morning...... Did she hear something too?
Eleven Niang thought about it and instructed the little maid: "Please come to the east room for tea." β
Then I went to the mirror to get my makeup done, and went to the east room.
Wu Niang wore a big red peony flower open sleeve jacket, which was plumper than the last time I saw it, but it was more gorgeous and bright.
"Fifth sister!" Eleven Niang smiled at her and blessed her.
Ziyuan helped the inconvenient Wu Niang and bent her knees, which was considered a return salute.
Eleven Niang stepped forward and helped her sit on the big kang by the window. The little maid brought the tea and took it to her personally. Then he sat down across from her.
"Why does my sister have time to come and sit with me today? What about brother-in-law? Why don't you come together. β
"I wanted to come," Wu Niang pointed to her slightly bulging belly, "but it didn't agree." He added, "It's almost the New Year, King Shun, Du Shilang of the Ministry of Works, and Guozi Priest Wine...... You have to walk around. Your brother-in-law is too busy to keep his feet on the ground. There was a hint of smugness in his tone.
Eleven Niang smiled and followed her words: "Although it has not snowed in the past few days, the north wind is blowing tightly. My sister also told my brother-in-law to pay attention to her body. β
"That's nature." Wu Niang's expression was a little proud, "Your brother-in-law is still a child's temper." What clothes to wear and what to eat, it's all up to me. I just want to be lazy sometimes, let Ziyuan serve, but he doesn't ......" said a little shyly about his happy life after marriage.
As before, Eleven Niang listened quietly, showing a decent smile, and interjecting a few sentences from time to time to make her speak more enjoyable
After a while, the conversation turned to the child.
Wu Niang glanced at the eleventh mother and motioned for her to let the people who served around her go out.
Eleven Niang looked at it clearlyβshe must have listened to those gossips.
I just don't know if she wants to come by herself? Or was he entrusted by Qian Ming?
Eleven Niang thought about it and sent the servants in the house.
"Eleventh sister," she looked at Eleven Niang's eyes full of sympathy, "Do you know that Hou Ye has raised an outer room outside." I also gave birth to a son......"
Although the versions are slightly different, the content is basically the same.
Eleven Niang and Wu Niang have never been speculative, so naturally they don't want to talk to her more. only said: "Big brother came early in the morning." He told me everything. β
Wu Niang was very surprised.
Yesterday, as soon as Qian Ming heard the news, he discussed her: "...... The eleventh sister is in the inner courtyard, and I am afraid that I don't know about this matter yet. You go to Yongping Marquis early tomorrow morning to report to her and talk to her about yourself. β
She still remembers that she was anxious when she heard it: "How could this happen? I have to tell my father and eldest brother quickly, and they should make plans early. β
"You!" Qian Ming smiled when he heard this, "How can you be like a child, doing things without caring about the future." β
She was stunned.
Qian Ming said with a smile: "Think about it, if something like this happened to the Xu family, how can ordinary people speak." But you are different, and she is the eldest sister in the same house. When we opened a dried fruit shop, the Hou Ye contributed and paid for it. It's just to reciprocate, and we have to go and see it. What's more, we are still going to partner with the people of the Wen family, and there will be more places to ask for the eleventh sister at that time? You take this opportunity to get close to the eleventh sister, there are only benefits, no harm. β
She couldn't help but be moved when she listened.
Qian Ming met the third master of the Wen family at a banquet, and the third master heard that Qian Ming was married to the fifth lady of the Luo family, and he was very affectionate. Later, he knew that Qian Ming was not alive at hand, so he took out an IOU of 5,000 quintals of grain from Xuantongfu: "...... I will only receive two thousand eight hundred quintals of salt, and the rest will be yours. Qian Ming was surprised. Wen Sanye only said: "You go back and make a good total." "Qian Ming inquired later, 5,000 quintals of grain were exchanged for salt, in addition to those who were filial piety from all walks of life, they could drop 3,200 quintals at most, but if Xuantong General Army came forward, the loss would be at most 500 quintals of grain, and the rest would be earned by himself......
The last time I opened a dried fruit shop, I scared her.
If you hadn't stopped early, you would have made a small profit by transferring the shop out, and if you waited until the lease of the shop expired next year, I was afraid that the five hundred taels of silver would be lost.
This kind of business that does not require capital and only makes the difference is the most suitable for them.
It's just that if you want to make this deal, you have to come forward with Xu Lingyi, who is good friends with Fan Weigang, the general soldier of Xuantong. But they couldn't find a suitable opportunity to mention it to Xu Lingyi, so the matter dragged on.
Now that something like this has happened to the Xu family, if Eleven Niang knew about it, she would definitely be very helpless. When the time comes, she will definitely be grateful to herself if she helps her come up with ideas...... Then mention your own difficulties......
But when she thought of her father and brother, she became a little uneasy.
If you don't tell your father and eldest brother, what really happened to you, what kind of face do you have to go back to your parents' house.
As if knowing her worries, Qian Ming pinched her beautiful nose affectionately and said with a smile, "Fool! Isn't there still me for my father-in-law and eldest brother? When you come back from the lotus, it's not too late for us to go to Bowstring Hutong! β
