Chapter 176: Wax Moon (Part II)
Xu Lingyi saw that Eleven Niang's face was angry, and she was very bored. For a while, there was silence in the room, and only the sound of Eleven Niang's clothes was heard.
It was at this embarrassing time that a little maid said timidly through the curtain: "Manager Bai is here!" ”
Xu Lingyi let out an "oh" and hurriedly walked out.
I don't know why, Eleven Niang felt very wronged, and tears filled her eyes.
"Madame......" Amber walked in softly, and saw the mess all over the house, and said cautiously, "Shall I fetch water for you to clean your face?" It's time to go to Mrs. Tai's. ”
Hearing this, Eleven Niang quickly wiped the corners of her eyes and nodded.
Amber called Green Cloud and Red Embroidery to come in and pack up their things, and Binju personally rolled up their sleeves to serve Eleven Niang and cleaned their faces.
"Where's Master Hou?"
You can't go alone, can you?
"I don't know!" Amber pondered, "Went out with Manager White...... I'll send someone to inquire. ”
"No need." Eleven Niang's heart was a little cold. It's not that he doesn't know that he has to go to Mrs. Tai's to say hello at this time of day. "Just call Sister Zhen'er."
Amber listened with a look of embarrassment: "Sister Zhen has passed early in the morning. Let Xiao Li speak, Hou Ye was in the house at that time......"
Sister Zhen must be embarrassed to walk with her, and Amber is not good to report when she sees Xu Lingyi in the house.
Eleven Niang nodded and went to Mrs. Tai alone.
Xu Sijian was playing a spinning top in the courtyard with Brother Chen, and when he saw her come in, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Xu Sijian even said: "Are you here alone?" Why don't you see the fourth uncle! ”
"Oh!" Eleven Niang said lightly, "Your fourth uncle has something to do, and he will come back later." ”
Xu Sijian said "um", and accompanied her to see Mrs. Tai with Brother Chen.
Mrs. Tai also asked, "What about the fourth?" I'm still busy! ”
Eleven Niang nodded, the third master and the third lady came, saw Eleven Niang alone, and asked strangely, "Where is the fourth brother?" How are you alone? ”
"He's got something to do!" Eleven Niang replied with a smile.
When the third lady heard this, she said "oops": "What's wrong with you?" Red eyes? ”
"Are my eyes red?" Shi Niang was a little surprised, "Why don't I know?" ”
"If you don't believe it!" The third lady dragged the eleventh lady to show the lady, and a little maid just said: "The Hou Ye is here!" ”
The third lady was stunned, and Xu Lingyi had already strode in.
Mrs. Tai glanced at Eleven Niang deeply, smiled and accepted the gift of the fourth son, and said and laughed and went to the east room for dinner surrounded by her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson.
After sending the people away, he summoned Du's mother: "Go and inquire and see why the two of them are awkward!" ”
Du's mother smiled and said yes, and went to the back room where Amber lived through the back door.
The back cover room was quiet, and only a mother-in-law on night duty was there to guard.
Du's mother said curiously: "Where has this person gone?" ”
The mother-in-law on duty at night smiled and said, "I was called by the amber girl to give a lecture." ”
"What is this for?" Mother Du frowned, "I heard that the amber girl in Madame's house is a first-class capable person, but I didn't know that she could even train the maid on behalf of the master." ”
The mother-in-law on duty at night immediately flattered her when she heard this: "Who said it wasn't." It's not a big deal, but she uses chicken feathers as an arrow. Listen to that tone, and you have to pick people up! ”
"What's going on?" Du's mother sank her face.
The mother-in-law on duty at night smiled wryly: "It's not a big deal. He lowered his voice and said, "Today, Master Hou is in Madame's room, but Xing'e's little girl, Xing'e, you know, is the niece and granddaughter of Mrs. Cai in the pulp washing room, and she broke in without knowing the severity...... " said, and lowered her voice a few more times, "...... I saw that Hou Ye was doing that with his wife in his arms......" he said, and winked ambiguously at Mother Du.
The Hou Ye, who has always been solemn and dignified, does that kind of thing in broad daylight......
Du's mother only felt that her brain was "buzzing", and the words "read it wrong" blurted out.
"How can you!" The mother-in-law on duty at night whispered, "Otherwise, how can the amber girl call someone to lecture her......"
"Oh......" Don't say you believe it, it's incredible to think about it. Du's mother's brain was a mess of porridge.
"What are you here for?" The mother-in-law on duty at night was an old man on Yuan Niang's side, and she couldn't afford to look down on the people who came in with Eleven Niang, so she gloated a little and said, "Otherwise, I'll help you call the Amber girl to question!" ”
"No need!" Mother Du said a little absent-mindedly, "Since she has something, I will come to her tomorrow as well." With that, he hurried back to Mrs. Tai.
"How?" Mrs. Tai saw that Mother Du's face was a little unsightly, and her heart became anxious.
She is old, and she is most afraid that her children will not get along.
Mother Du's face turned red and white for a while, and she leaned over and whispered in Mrs. Tai's ear.
Mrs. Tai was dumbfounded when she heard this: "You, you're not mistaken, right?" ”
"Probably not." Du's mother said, "Otherwise, how could Amber even say something to pick people up." ”
"I'll just say, how did the two of them arrive one after the other today." Mrs. Tai laughed as she spoke, "The one whose eyes are still red as if he was crying...... I must have been knocked by someone, I'm embarrassed......" and quipped, "I don't see it, my son is an impatient!" ”
Mother Du couldn't help laughing when she heard it: "Mrs. Tai...... What are you talking about as a mother-in-law? ”
"Young man, there is no time for absurdity." Mrs. Tai smiled and waved her hand disapprerovingly, "It's okay, it's okay!" It's good to be older. ”
Over there, Eleven Niang lowered her head and did needlework, but her eyes glanced at Xu Lingyi, who was leaning on the big pillow at the head of the bed and reading a book from time to time.
Why don't you leave......
When I went to Mrs. Tai's place for dinner, I went alone, and I didn't look at myself when I ate, and I didn't say a word when I came back...... Just now, he gave him kind words to make tea, and he looked like he ignored it. I've already bowed my head, what's the point with him lying here like this and not saying a word?
Eleven sneered and winked at Amber.
Amber nodded slightly, went out and brought hot water in to refill a cup of tea for Xu Lingyi. A little maid came in and said, "Madam, Aunt Qiao's embroidery sister came to ask, do you want to leave the door for Master Hou today?" ”
Eleven Niang looked at Xu Lingyi.
Xu Lingyi didn't seem to hear it, and the corners of her eyebrows didn't lift the book in her hand.
Shi Niang had no choice but to let go of the needle and thread in her hand, stepped forward and whispered: "Master Hou, look at ......"
Xu Lingyi didn't raise his head, let out a faint "oh", and said, "You fetch water and serve me to scald my feet!" ”
Meaning it's not going to be tonight.
Eleven Niang still wanted to persuade him, but seeing that his eyebrows were condensed, she had to avoid his edge and instructed the little maid: "Go and tell Aunt Qiao, Master Hou has something to do today, so I won't go." ”
The little maid answered the call and left.
Eleven Niang looked at Xu Lingyi again.
Seeing that his eyes were staring at the book, and he didn't even tremble his hands, Eleven Niang pursed her lips and asked the little maid to pour hot water to burn Xu Lingyi's feet.
"Master Hou is here!" Qiao Lianfang was stunned, "Does Master Hou know?" ”
The little maid said with some grievances: "Miss Amber first asked me to wait, and then came out and personally ordered me to go in and return." At that time, Lord Hou and his wife were in the house. Hou Ye didn't speak, and Mrs. specially stepped forward to ask. As a result, the Hou Ye said that he would let his wife serve him to burn his feet......"
Qiao Lianfang's face turned pale all of a sudden.
The embroidery standing behind her saw that she immediately took out a few copper coins from her sleeve and gave them to the little girl: "It's hard work." Let's buy candy and eat it! ”
The little maid happily took it, bowed to Qiao Lianfang, and retreated.
When he walked to the door, he remembered something again, stopped, and said, "Aunt Qiao, I heard from the sisters in the courtyard that this afternoon the Hou Ye was doing that with his wife in his arms, and he was bumped into by Sister Xing'e...... Mrs. lost her temper with Master Hou over this. made Hou Ye angry. Ignored Madame for an afternoon. ”
With a "clang", the tea cup of the ten brocades of the old kiln in Qiao Lianfang's hand fell on the carpet of the big red folding flower, rolled a few times and stopped on the green brick outside the carpet.
Xiu Xuan's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly stepped forward and pushed the little girl out: "I know, it's not too early, you should rest early!" ”
The little girl was pushed out of the door, and couldn't help but look at the blue-gray splint curtain that shook twice behind her, scratched her head, and muttered in a low voice: "No wonder Mother Tao let me go to the door and say this sentence again......" Before the words fell, I heard a faint cry from behind the curtain.
She wanted to go and see, and then thought of Tao's mother telling her to leave after she finished speaking...... In the end, he suppressed his curiosity and trotted all the way to Tao's mother to reply to the letter.
Eleven Niang looked at Xu Lingyi, who had a cold and solemn face under the light, and told herself again: I'm not wrong. The day is not in line with etiquette. Why did he lose his temper. His own heart is weak, but he is afraid of his power. In this matter, I am not wrong!
When I thought about it like this, the depression in my heart dissipated a lot.
She turned her back to Xu Lingyi, the light at the head of the bed was too dazzling, so she had to turn over again, face Xu Lingyi, bury her head between the two pillows, and close her eyes.
He can do whatever he wants! I have to go back to my parents' house tomorrow, if my eyes are swollen, the fifth aunt will think that she has cried......
Xu Lingyi was holding a book in her hand, but the corner of her eyes was looking at the eleventh lady who was tossing and turning around from time to time.
It seems that she is very uncomfortable if she ignores her!
Finding that she had turned over again, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a faint smile.
Originally, it was just teasing her, but who knew that a maid broke in......
And not intentionally.
Isn't it shameless to yourself!
Besides, I went out with Mr. Bai, and I went to Mrs. Tai by myself without waiting. Let those who have a heart see it, don't you think that the two have quarreled.
He deliberately kept a straight face, just to make her anxious.
The smile on the corner of Xu Lingyi's mouth deepened.
Wait a little longer...... Then talk to her.
Who knows, the people around him turned over and didn't move for a while.
He was stunned, and when he looked down, he saw her with her face quietly tilted her head, already asleep.
"Eleven Niang!"
Xu Lingyi's face was gloomy.
The sleeping man's nose was furrowed, and his face rubbed against the sheets.
"Silent ......" Xu Lingyi raised her voice
Eleven Niang muttered vaguely, and buried her face deeper.
