Came in. Without waiting for Xu Lingyi's command, Eleven Niang was already in a hurry.

The little guy galloped away.

"Brother Yu'er probably guessed that Brother Jin was about to leave in the next few days." Eleven Niang said with a smile, "A few days ago, when Brother Yu's daughter-in-law sent someone to send us water chestnuts and lotus seeds, she didn't mention anything about sending things to Brother Jin'er. ”

Brothers should be in harmony with each other and help each other.

Xu Lingyi nodded.

The little maid brought in two mothers-in-law, one of whom was Xiang's personal mother, Xiang's mother.

The two mothers-in-law saluted respectfully, and happily said hello to Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang.

"I learned a few days ago that the sixth young master became the governor of Guizhou, and our second young master didn't know how happy he was. He sent us into Beijing overnight, and finally entered the city before the sun set. Xiang's mother smiled and held a box wrapped in blue silk cloth in both hands, "This is Cheng Yi that our second young master gave to the sixth young master, and also said, I wish the sixth young master a bright future and smooth sailing." "I picked up another bag of baggage, "This is a few autumn clothes that our second young grandmother made for the sixth young master, saying that we are in a hurry, and if there is something inappropriate, please bear with the sixth young master." ”

Leng Xiang stepped forward to pick it up, and Eleven Niang asked Hanxiao to move the small pestle for the two mothers-in-law to sit down and talk, and asked about some short things in the family.

Knowing that Xu Siyu's family is very accustomed to the life of Jiaxing, the heavy rain in Jiaxing Mansion in June, Xu Siyu organized the Zhuang Ding berm meritorious, and the prefect gradually took him seriously, and she also rejoiced: "It's not too early, you will rest in the house today, and go to say hello to Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Tai early tomorrow morning, so that they can also be happy." ”

The two mothers-in-law smiled and responded "yes" and retreated with Leng Xiang.

Xu Lingyi asked Xu Si Jinlai: "...... Why haven't you come back yet? I still have something to talk to him about. ”

Although the officials have been given some time, if they don't set off again, I'm afraid they won't be able to catch up with Guizhou. After resigning from his ancestors early tomorrow morning, Xu Sijin will leave for Guizhou. Shi Niang was about to go to see how the luggage was prepared, and when she heard the words, she said, "Chang'an came in with a message." said that Brother Jin was going to get together with Cho Xun and them tonight, and he would come back later. What does Master Hou have to tell him? Why don't you go over with me to have a look? While speaking, he instructed Hanxiao to bring the things sent by Xu Siyu and his wife.

"It's good!" Xu Lingyi thought about it and went to Qingyinju with Eleven Niang.

Ah Jin and Suifeng were counting things, and when they saw Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang, the two of them hurriedly collected the booklet and came forward to salute.

"Haven't you packed your things yet?" , Xu Lingyi said.

"It's all packed!" Ah Jin smiled, "The slave was afraid that something would fall, so she counted it again with Suifeng." ”

This time, Ah Jin and Suifeng also followed Xu Sijin to Guizhou.

When Shi Niang saw those cages and thought that her son was about to leave, her mood suddenly dropped: "I don't know when I will be able to come back!" ”

Xu Lingyi comforted her: "He is now a member of the third grade, and he will go to Beijing every year to take the exam, which is much better than when he was in Guizhou before." ”

Thinking like this," Eleven Niang let out a long sigh, feeling a little better.

Xu Lingyi sat with her on the big kang by the window and waited for Xu Sijin.

"Old Marquis Sun discussed with me today and wanted Brother Cheng to follow Brother Jin to Guizhou!"

If you change yourself, you will choose the same way. Eleven Niang had already guessed it" and groaned: "What about the brother?" Stay at home? ”

"Old Marquis Sun wants him to go to the Henan Metropolitan Division", Xu Lingyi said, "Old Marquis Sun was once in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, and some old people stayed in Henan, plus the Henan General Army also had some friendships...... Let him hone his skills for a few years, learn some real skills, and then enter the Xishan camp. ”

That's fine.

Eleven Niang bowed slightly.

Xu Lingkuan and his wife are here.

Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang couldn't help but glance at each other.

"I'm afraid I'm here for Brother Cheng'er!" Xu Lingyi smiled and went to the hall with Eleven Niang.

"I didn't expect the fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law to be there!" Xu Lingyi smiled and greeted her brother and sister-in-law, everyone sat down with a smile, Ah Jin took the little maid to the refreshments, and the fifth lady asked Xu Sijin euphemistically: "Why aren't you at home?" Didn't you say you'd leave tomorrow? ”

Eleven Niang explained the situation again.

What else did the fifth lady want to ask, but Xu Lingkuan felt that there was no need to be so polite between the brothers, "Without waiting for the fifth lady to speak, she said to Xu Lingyi straight to the point: "...... Brother Cheng is not as good as Brother Xu, he is only twelve years old this year, he lives in the outer courtyard, and he also runs to the inner courtyard for three days. I think it's better to let Brother Cheng go after the Spring Festival. In this way, Brother Jin has also settled down, and Brother Cheng is also prepared, so we can do Brother Xu'er's affairs first. ”

Xu Lingyi natural tea should be.

The fifth lady let out a long sigh, "...... The older generation said that this hardship is also a lifetime, and happiness is also a lifetime, all of which are destined by God. These two children, if they don't take the road, have to climb the mountain. I can't help it! I can only ask the Bodhisattva to bless the heavens and reward them for their diligence, don't let them run around in vain! There was a bit of helplessness, a bit of frustration, and a bit of sadness in his tone.

Eleven Niang thought that she and Xu Lingyi were hesitating about the future of Brother Jin'er, and the mood of the fifth lady at the moment was so similar, she comforted the fifth lady: "Who said no!" At the beginning, I was also unwilling, but now I am watching my children grow up day by day, and I can not only take care of myself, but also take care of my family, and I feel fortunate that I made such a decision at the beginning. The fifth brother and sister can rest assured, Brother Xu'er and Brother Cheng are both smart and clever children, and if you go outside to see it, you will only become more and more sensible and obedient in the future. ”

"I hope so." The fifth lady nodded, and her face showed a little expectation ...... it, Brother Cheng went, and he had to teach Brother Cheng more. The tone was very sincere, and it was clear that it was from the heart.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The fifth lady has always been a little arrogant in her bones, if it weren't for her son, she would not have let go of her body. It can be seen that mothers in the world are the same!

Xu Lingkuan felt that the fifth lady was worried, and without waiting for Eleven Niang to answer, he said with a smile: "Brother Jin is an elder brother, so he will naturally teach Brother Cheng well." Don't talk this nonsense. ”

The fifth lady was angry.

Eleven Niang was afraid that the two would fight in her room, so she hurriedly smiled and said to Xu Lingkuan: "Is the fifth uncle free tomorrow?" If it's okay, Master Hou wants to ask you to help send Brother Jin'er! ”

Xu Lingyi is a father, it is not good to send his son, thinking that his son can come back from catching Duoyan and going to Guizhou, "I am not ready to send my son at all, listening to Shi Niang's own opinion, I can't help but glance at Shi Niang.

Xu Lingkuan was supposed to be on duty tomorrow. The commander of the Praetorian Guard knew that his nephew had made Wu Jinbo and became the chief soldier of Guizhou, so he deliberately gave him a few days off, saying that it was for him to deal with some trivial matters at home.

He was very happy and felt that this was his sister-in-law giving herself face. You must know that "now Xu Sijin is a third-grade important member, a big official who dominates the party, as an elder to send him, those who are higher or lower than their own official rank" have to salute him, look at his face and act, when he thinks of that scene, he is a little fluttering.

"I'm free, I'm free." Where would he still notice these small sections, and said with a smile, "I'll come over at the beginning of tomorrow and accompany Brother Jin to the ancestral hall." ”

Xu Lingyi looked at such a trivial matter, which made Xu Lingkuan happy, and his heart couldn't help but soften.

If the fifth brother is taught well, maybe he will do something too.

He treated Xu Lingkuan much more leniently than usual. Laugh and joke with him: "Don't oversleep when you get there!" ”

"How so!" , Xu Lingkuan saw his brother joking with him, and looked a little excited, "Although I am a little confused in big things, I have never made anything wrong in small things." ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

The atmosphere was not only cheerful" but also congenial.

"Such a big person, he hasn't been serious yet." The fifth lady smiled and blamed Xu Lingkuan, Xu Sijin came back.

"What's going on?" , He drank a little too much, touched his head and said, "I, I went out early this morning and didn't do anything!" ”

provoked another burst of laughter.

The fifth lady stepped forward and took Xu Hujin's hand and said to Eleven Niang: "This is also at home, who believes that our Guizhou chief soldier Xu Sijin is like this!" He also called Ah Jin to simmer a cup of strong tea to sober up Xu Sijin, and told Xu Sijin what he meant.

Xu Sijin breathed a sigh of relief, dragging his chest and responding: "As long as the seventh and eighth brothers can use me, a word!" ”

The fifth lady was very satisfied with his attitude, nodded with a smile, and after Xu Sijin drank tea, the group went to Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai had already prepared the decanting soup and hurriedly ordered the dew drops to bring it in.

Xu Sijin was poured a stomach full of tea first, and now there is a big bowl of soup, and he finally drank it," Mrs. Tai took his hand, and asked from who helped him see him off until when he would return to the house. Xu Sijin answered them one by one.

Xu Lingyi saw that it was not too early, so he suggested that everyone go back first.

Mrs. Tai looked at the wind-like brother of the jade tree under the light, thinking that she was going to the place of the poor mountains and bad waters tomorrow, and there was no serious woman around to serve, and told Shi Niang, Shi Niang always said that he had not succeeded in martial arts, and he would wait a few days" and panicked: "I will rest here with my grandmother today, and my grandmother can talk to you!" ”

Xu Sijin looked at his grandmother, who had not seen her ten-year-old grandmother for a few years, and her heart was sour, so she pretended to hug Mrs. Tai's shoulder happily: "I just want to talk to my grandmother, but I'm afraid that my father will stop ......."

"He dares!" Mrs. Tai looked at Xu Lingyi with a straight face.

Xu Lingyi saw that his son was making his mother happy, and it was too late to be happy, how could he stop it and make it! He got up and retreated helplessly.

Mrs. Tai laughed happily and whispered to Xu Sijin: "Don't be afraid, if he dares to talk about you, you can tell me." I punished him to go to the ancestral hall! ”

"Good! All right! Xu Si smiled hesitantly, thinking about whether to find an opportunity to go to his grandmother and tell his father to join him......

When she got home, Eleven Niang was a little tired and called Leng Xiang to get warm water and come in to soak her feet.

Xu Lingyi sent the servant beside her, and sat aside with a small pestle to help her pinch her feet.

"It doesn't matter, I look at your legs that seem a little thick!"

"Really?" Eleven Niang asked Xu Lingyi to come over with the lamp, and after looking at it carefully for a long time, she didn't find anything unusual." Xu Lingyi still said conservatively: ", you don't want to send Brother Jin tomorrow, it's not that he doesn't know that you are pregnant!" ”

Eleven Niang's expression froze.

"What's wrong?" , Xu Lingyi looked at her with concern.

"I, I haven't told him ...... yet," Eleven Niang muttered, "I haven't been able to find a suitable opportunity...... "I'm actually a little embarrassed."

Xu Lingyi was stunned.

"Or, tomorrow, when you take Brother Jin to the ancestral hall to kowtow to your ancestors, you can tell him!" Eleven Niang looked at Xu Lingyi.

Isn't it all a mother's business for me to sue and merge with me?

Xu Lingyi replied vaguely.! ~！
