Chapter 318: Xixi (I)

Shi Niang smiled: "There are a few sinceritys that I can't see, but the Zhuo family really wants to marry us for this family affair, but it's true." ”

Mrs. Tai bowed slightly, and said, "Tomorrow is Chen Ge's hometown to marry a daughter-in-law, right?" When you go then, you might as well talk to Mrs. Li and Wednesday's daughter-in-law. Spread the word that the Zhuo family wants to marry us! ”

Eleven Niang was a little surprised.

Mrs. Tai smiled: "She came to send the Dragon Boat Festival in person today, and she went to see Sister Zhen'er, others don't know it's okay, I know, I'm afraid I think that good things are about to happen to our two families." ”

Eleven Niang suddenly smiled and said: "Even if I say something to Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou, it is what the women say, and it can't be counted." ”

"That's exactly what it is." Mrs. Tai smiled, "It's just that you don't have to say it." lest the marriage be unfulfilled and trap yourself. ”

If the words are too much, and the marriage does not work out at that time, everyone will inevitably speculate that she has no right to speak at home.

Eleven Niang smiled and responded "yes", and a little girl came in: "Manager Bai said that the person sent by Master Hou to inquire about the news has returned." Do you want to come in and talk back, or send a mother to ask? ”

Mrs. Tai smiled: "I'm old, let him come in and talk back!" ”

The little guy went away. Except for Du's mother, who was over fifty years old and serving on the side, everyone else avoided it.

Eleven Niang was accompanied by Amber to sit in the west room. The room was quiet, and the words in the hall were clearly audible.

"Although it is a side branch of the Wang family, it is a concubine. When my grandfather was a grandfather, he helped manage the housekeeping of the house. In the generation of Wang Gongzi's father, there are five brothers, ranking second, and it is Wang Gongzi's fifth uncle who is the political envoy of Fujian. Wang Gongzi's father also won the show, and then he was not very proud in the field, and took over the business of the house five years ago to help manage some housekeeping. Her mother is from Baoding, and her family is also a famous family in the local area. After getting married, he gave birth to three daughters and one son. He is humble and gentle, and he is a well-known virtuous person among concubines. One of the three daughters married to Baoding, one married the nephew of Lord Cheng Zheng Li of Dali Temple, and the other married the son of Lord Han of Hanlin Academy, all of whom were serious and innocent. Lord Wang has always been strict with Wang Gongzi, although Wang Gongzi is young, he has a calm demeanor. In the past, he studied in the Wang family school, and later studied with Han Daren in the Hanlin Academy. I just got a child last year. There is a maid who has served since childhood, three years older than Wang Gongzi. ”

Mrs. Tai rewarded her with a tael of silver and sent it away. Turned around and asked Shi Niang: "What do you think?" ”

Eleven Niang thought about the maid who was three years older than Wang Gongzi...... She knew in her heart that this problem was not a problem at all in the eyes of Mrs. Tai and others, and she smiled: "I don't know how the child looks?" ”

"It's not like you're going to settle down at this time." Mrs. Tai smiled when she heard this, "It just so happens that the fourth child is not at home, you can also take a look around." Then he told some interesting stories about getting married, and when Brother Chen got out of school, I asked him a few words about going to school.

Brother Chen's eyebrows danced when he answered, and Eleven Niang was relieved.

Then the second lady brought Sister Zhen, Xu Lingkuan and the fifth lady came over with Sister Xin. Knowing that Xu Lingyi had something to do, everyone was not too surprised, waiting for Xu Siyu and Xu Sijie to come over. The family happily ate, the second lady led Sister Zhen to stay to serve Mrs. Tai to rest, and the others went back to the house.

Eleven Niang just entered the door with her front foot, and Aunt Wen and Aunt Qiao came over with her back foot.

The two of them greeted her, and Eleven Niang served tea.

Qiao Lianfang looked at her knees slightly bent and was about to bow and retreat, but Aunt Wen suddenly took two squares of handkerchiefs from her sleeves and came out: "Madam, how about you take a look at these two squares?" ”

Eleven Niang took the veil.

A piece of moon white embroidered with Magu offering her birthday, and a piece of red phoenix sycamore.

Aunt Wen took a few steps forward and walked in front of Eleven Niang, and said with a smile: "It was two days ago that I packed up the cage, thinking that there were two square handkerchiefs with good embroidery, and I thought that Mrs. was proficient in these." I deliberately found it. I don't know if Madame likes it or not. ”

The painting case is complex, the needlework is exquisite, and it is indeed a rare boutique.

Why did you suddenly think of giving yourself a handkerchief?

Could it be because of Xu Lingyi's reprimand for Aunt Qin's words?

Seeing Qiao Lianfang standing aside, Eleven Niang couldn't refuse, so she smiled and let Amber accept it: "Sister Zhen is learning to be popular these days, let her take a look and open her eyes." ”

Aunt Wen immediately smiled when she heard this: "It's good that Madam can use it." He added, "Master Hou is not at home, why don't I come to watch tonight?" ”

Not to mention the eleventh mother, even the maids and mothers-in-law in the room are surprised.

Isn't that too humble?

The atmosphere in the room was suddenly a little weird.

"Madame has always been kind to us, and we need to have some eyes." Aunt Wen hurriedly smiled and explained, "It's really because usually when the Hou Ye is at home, he and his wife have endless words, and the slave maid is not good to always walk around in front of his wife." She smiled and glanced at Qiao Lianfang.

Qiao Lianfang was slightly stunned, and her lips tightly pursed into a line.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Today is to see that Hou Ye is not at home, and the slave and maid should also do their best. ”

Aunt Wen has a "lady" and a "slave", which reminds Shi Niang of the sentence "Nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief".

"No need!" Eleven Niang smiled and brought the teacup again, "When you need it, I will tell you." ”

Qiao Lianfang bowed her head and replied "yes", and retreated, what did Aunt Wen want to say, Eleven Niang had already gotten up and went to the inner room. A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and she retreated.

As soon as Eleven Niang got up the next day, Amber whispered in her ear: "Madam, Aunt Wen came over before dawn!" ”

What made her so anxious?

Thinking of Aunt Wen's tenacity, Eleven Niang pondered for a moment and said, "Let her come inβ€”she won't stop if she doesn't say it!" ”

Amber smiled and left in response, inviting Aunt Wen in.

Aunt Wen saw Eleven Niang sitting in front of the mirror table to make up, and hurriedly walked over. smiled and held the box with a hairpin: "Why did Mrs. comb her peony hair today, is she going out?" ”

Usually at home, Eleven Niang is a casual girl.

"Today, Chen Ge's hometown marries a daughter-in-law." Eleven Niang pointed to the small pestle on the side, "Aunt Wen sit down and talk!" ”

Aunt Wen smiled and sat down on the small pestle.

Eleven Niang asked the little maid to serve her tea.

She sat with her and gossiped.

"Madame, this dress is so beautiful today. Is it rewarded in the palace during the Chinese New Year? The slave and maid looked like they were new......"

Chen Ge Lao and Xu Lingyi don't know how they belong, but the female relatives of the two families don't come to the door for a big time. Therefore, Eleven Niang went to eat the wedding wine, which is different from the Gan family - the Gan family is in-law and is going to attend the wedding, so she has to come to the door to congratulate on the day of the dowry. Chen Ge's hometown is a colleague, as long as he catches up with the main banquet that night, it is not rude. Although it was still early, she still had to go to Mrs. Tai to say goodbye, deal with housework, and check Sister Zhen'er's embroidery yesterday...... Aunt Wen couldn't get around the topic like this, so she had to say, "Why didn't Aunt Wen come with Aunt Qiao?" ”

Aunt Wen hesitated for a moment when she heard this, and said a little hesitantly: "Slave maid...... The slave maid heard that yesterday the wife of Lord Zhuo, the squire of the Ministry of War, came to give the lady a New Year's gift in person...... "She looked at Eleven Niang's eyes and was full of anticipation, "and went to see the eldest lady......"

It turned out to be for Sister Zhen's marriage!

No wonder she beat around the bush yesterday in front of everyone.

Eleven Niang sighed secretly in her heart.

No matter how cold Aunt Wen usually shows to Sister Zhen'er, but when it comes to the turning point of Sister Zhen'er's fate, the mother and son are connected, and she can no longer stand by coldly. even put himself in a humble position, lest he offend those who can change the fate of Sister Zhen'er......

She thought of the fifth aunt and her worries and fears in the Luo family.

Eleven Niang pointed to the embroidery pier beside her and said, "Aunt Wen sit down and talk!" ”

Aunt Wen looked at Eleven Niang in astonishment.

Eleven Niang nodded, and said solemnly: "Auntie, sit down and talk!" ”

Aunt Wen was sure that she had heard, she hesitated a little, and sat down on the embroidery pier with restrained movements.

Eleven Niang sent the servants in the house to wear earrings in front of the mirror.

"I'm coming!" Aunt Wen got up and stepped forward to help.

"No need!" Eleven Niang shook her head lightly and told Aunt Wen about Mrs. Zhuo's intention.

Aunt Wen's eyes lit up when she listened: "That eldest lady ......"

"Master Hou means I want to see it again!" Eleven Niang said, "This has just been removed." He also told Aunt Wen about Mrs. Zhou being the matchmaker for her nephew and Mrs. Li proposing marriage to her second son, "Lord Hou and Mrs. Tai both told me to move around more and take a look around." This time, I went to Chen Ge's hometown, and I also wanted to touch the eldest daughter-in-law of Liang Ge's hometown, and I should also go to Chen's house to drink happy wine......" She said softly about her plans.

Aunt Wen relaxed when she heard this, and saw that Eleven Niang was wearing thin red gold inlaid moon white stone magnolia flower earrings and got up to get her clothes, and hurriedly went over to serve Eleven Niang to dress.

Eleven Niang politely refused.

The two were polite, and Aunt Wen saw that Eleven Niang's attitude was very resolute, so she let go and stood aside to watch, but she wanted to speak several times and stopped.

After all, it is about Sister Zhen'er's future, and Aunt Wen is not the kind of person who has no opinions. There will definitely be an idea of its own.

Eleven Niang simply asked her, "Aunt Wen has something to say?" ”

And Aunt Wen saw that Eleven Niang was acting frankly, so she thought about it: "I think, the Zhuo family is good!" ”

Eleven Niang was a little surprised.

Aunt Wen hurriedly said: "It sounds like the Wang family is the best." But the Wang family has Mrs. Zhou, and the family that serves as the political envoy of Fujian, and it is a large family, so it is easy to divide the family. Wang Gongzi didn't know when he would come out. After all, you have to live by people's eyes. Although the Zhuo family is a little thinner. Lord Ke Zhuo was born in the army, and he has been a general soldier outside for many years, and his family background must be very rich. Plus it's Hou Ye's old subordinate again......"

It means that Lord Zhuo is definitely richer than Wang Gongzi's family, and he will value his sister very much because of Xu Lingyi.

"And although Mrs. Zhuo is young, Lord Zhuo is already declining. In case of...... At that time, for the future of her two sons, Mrs. Zhuo will have to think more about it. Otherwise, how could she be so low? ”
