After the eleventh lady was busy and it was time for lunch, she and the third lady hurried to Mrs. Tai, who had already eaten lunch and left food for them. The two ate indiscriminately, and the third lady pulled her to arrange the dust sweeping, and when she returned to her courtyard, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and Lin Bo was standing in front of the kang to serve Xu Lingyi and write something.

Seeing her come in, Xu Lingyi nodded and said "I'm back", and then continued to write at the desk. Lin Bo didn't dare to be sloppy, and immediately stepped forward to salute respectfully.

Eleven Niang went to the east clean room to change clothes and clean face, when she came out, Linbo was no longer there, the kang table was cleaned up, but the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were left on the kang table on the side, and there were a few more books on the kang head.

"Master Hou, what are you busy with?" She greeted Xu Lingyi with a smile, "The concubine was busy until the beginning of the afternoon, and in the afternoon, she arranged with the third sister-in-law to sweep the dust, and failed to serve the Hou Ye's lunch......"

Xu Lingyi leaned on the big pillow on the kang, her expression was a little absent-minded, and when she saw her explain to herself, she nodded indiscriminately and said, "I ate at my mother's place at noon." If you have something to do, don't worry about me. ”

When we broke up just now, the third lady asked her to meet at the place where she was going on early tomorrow morning, and assigned all kinds of matters for the New Year to the mothers in charge, I am afraid that she will have to be busy all day. She told Xu Lingyi that her original intention was to probe his tone, but now that she saw that he didn't care, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Lingyi suddenly asked her: "You stayed in Fujian when you were a child, do you still remember what happened at that time?" ”

Eleven Niang's heart suddenly burst.

Why did you suddenly ask about this?

"The concubine was young at the time, so I don't remember." She was a little apprehensive, but the smile on her face remained undiminished, "What does Master Hou want to inquire?" Why don't I bring a letter and ask my father to come and sit at home? ”

Xu Lingyi pondered for a moment and said, "Forget it!" The expression was a little disappointed.

It seems that he really wants to inquire about something, but he has some scruples about the eldest master. I just don't know what it is?

She thought of the fifth aunt......

"Why don't you go back to your parents' house and ask your aunt?"

"No need." Xu Lingyi said, "You women's family, if you don't go out of the door, even if you live in Fujian for ten or eight years, I'm afraid you don't know anything." I'll think of something else! ”

Eleven Niang smiled bitterly, but she had to admit that what he said made sense.

As he was talking, Lin Bo turned back, holding a painting scroll in his hand, and his eyebrows were full of excitement: "Master Hou, I found it!" ”

Xu Lingyi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he sat up straight: "Take it and take a look." ”

Lin Bo hurriedly saluted Eleven Niang, and then lightly placed the painting scroll on the kang table and opened it - it turned out to be a map.

Xu Lingyi leaned over and watched carefully.

Lin Bo stood silently and breathlessly.

You can hear pins falling in the house.

Eleven Niang also looked at it on the side.

Fuzhou, Guangdong, Guilin, Hangzhou...... She also saw Yu Hang. It is a map of Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangzhou, and Guangxi provinces.

I asked myself again if I remembered the events in Fujian, and I looked at the public opinion map...... What exactly does Xu Lingyi want to do?

It was a long time before he looked up.

Seeing Shi Niang's crystal eyes looking at him curiously, his heart softened, and he couldn't help explaining: "Early this morning, Wang Jiubao sent me a letter through Topaz. ”

It turned out that I went to the outer courtyard early in the morning to meet the people sent by Topaz...... Huang Yu is the envoy of Zhejiang, the in-law of Liang Gelao, she knows. But who is this Wang Jiubao?

Eleven Niang's brain turned around before she understood.

Wang Jiubao is the biggest pirate in the south, and his family has been facing off against the Jinghai Marquis family for several generations, and has just recently been granted amnesty.

Huang Yu and Wang Jiubao are both in the south, and it is understandable that they come together through relationships. But when did Huang Yu have such a good relationship with Xu Lingyi, and actually helped Wang Jiubao to say Xiang in front of him? Wang Jiubao, a pirate leader, wrote a letter to Xu Lingyi, what did he ask for?

Her face was full of confusion: "Huang Yu didn't help Wang Jiubao find Liang Ge Lao, what are you looking for?" ”

As usual, I quickly got to the point, and it took a lot less effort to speak!

Xu Lingyi couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Since yesterday he heard Mrs. Tai's words, "It's only been three or four months, and I've talked and laughed with Eleven Niang", he has been very awkward in his heart, and after seeing the newly changed tent, he felt even more uncomfortable, so he simply went to Aunt Qiao's place. Who knows, not only did it not feel a little better, but it was more uncomfortable than usual. When I came back from Mrs. Tai in the morning, I hesitated for a long time, but I went back to the main house to take a nap. I woke up before I started, and I didn't want to open my eyes in a daze, so I fell asleep for the first time. When he opened his eyes again, it was already Shen Chu.

There was also the fragrance of roses commonly used by Eleven Niang in the quilt, wild and unrestrained, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath, thinking of her delicate porcelain-like skin...... The body awoke to the scent of the flowers...... Just as Lin Bo came to demonstrate: "Lord Fan's personal servant is waiting in the outer study." He had to rush back to Xuantong overnight. Why don't you let him go back first? ”

He didn't want Lin Bo to see his embarrassment, so he had to let Lin Bo move his things to the main house.

Lin Bo's shocked expression clearly appeared in Xu Lingyi's mind.

He couldn't help but feel upset.

Lin Bo has been on an errand in front of him since he was nine years old, and now he has been seven or eight years old, and he has never been so indistinguishable between public and private......

"Nothing!" Xu Lingyi's voice couldn't help but be a little cold, "Wang Jiubao wants to make a proposal to the emperor through me, and the imperial court will form a fleet to go to sea...... I'm at home now, and I've refused. ”

He subconsciously didn't tell Shi Niang what happened next.

Since it is a refusal, why do you still have to look at the map of Fujian?

Shi Niang smiled slightly, didn't break it, and didn't talk to him about it. got up with a smile and said, "The concubine is serving the Hou Ye to change clothes, right?" It's almost time to go to my mother's place! ”

Xu Lingyi intuitively refused: "Just call in late spring or Xia Yi!" ”

Eleven Niang could feel that he suddenly had a subtle rejection of himself, and he was stunned.

How so?

It was fine just now!

However, this kind of mood appeared once yesterday - when he stared at the newly changed tent for a long time, and suddenly got up to spend the night in Qiao Lian's house, Xu Lingyi's attitude towards himself changed...... At that time, I thought that Xu Lingyi was because he had changed his new account very docilely, but he decided to spend the night with Qiao Lianfang, so he was a little uneasy. Now, it seems, is not ...... at all

She was in a hurry.

Did he unintentionally do something that made Xu Lingyi very dissatisfied?

Although I am confused, this is not a good time to comb.

She smiled and called for the end of spring and Xia Yi to come in, and she sat on the kang and pondered, naturally not noticing Linbo who had been lowering her head on the side.

There was surprise on his face that could not be concealed!

Unexpectedly, Master Hou would say these things to his wife. Even the fifth and third masters, the Hou Ye never told them this......

After returning from Mrs. Tai, Xu Lingyi went directly to Qiao Lianfang's place to rest.

Eleven Niang and Amber discussed the Spring Festival schedule, and they didn't sleep until the beginning of the year.

Her face was full of Xu Lingyi's cold and detached expression.

What went wrong?

Eleven Niang reviewed everything that happened before she entered the door.

Everything is developing in a more and more favorable direction, and after thinking about it repeatedly, nothing wrong has appeared!

Thinking of this, she couldn't sleep anymore.

If you are not afraid to know, you are afraid not to know. You know, you can also correct it. I don't know, but I can't change it......

If there is any discord between the two, it is sex. But even so, isn't she making progress in the direction he is satisfied with? Or is it because as the two become more familiar with each other, she is less respectful of his behavior? But he wasn't rude, and he didn't show dissatisfaction before!

Eleven Niang was puzzled, and faintly felt movement in the yard.

At this hour, all the courtyards are locked, and if it is not a big event, it will not knock on the door!

She got up and went out of the inner room.

There was a real noise outside.

Eleven Niang called out to the green cloud on duty: "...... Did you hear anything? ”

Green Cloud listened: "It seems that there is movement outside!" Then he put on his jacket, "Madame, I'll go and see!" ”

Eleven Niang nodded.

Lu Yun hurried away, and after a while, he turned back: "It's the steward of the outer courtyard who came to find Master Hou!" ”

Eleven Niang's heart pounded: "Do you know why?" ”

Green Cloud shook his head: "I don't know." When I went out, Master Hou was already gone. The mother-in-law on duty at night re-unlocked. ”

Eleven Niang was sleepy.

When he returned to the house, he asked Luyun to move the embroidery shelf and embroider the words, until the sky was slightly white, and he felt a little sleepy.

But I'm going to say hello to Mrs. Tai again.

She yawned and went to the clean room to wash her face, and before she could comb her hair, a little maid ran in: "Master Hou is back!" ”

Went out in the middle of the night and came back at this time!

Eleven Niang greeted her in surprise.

I saw Xu Lingyi's face blue and striding over, and he was carrying a bulging blue flower coarse cloth burden in his hand.

I don't know why, Shi Niang's first thought when she looked at the burden turned out to be "I didn't expect Xu Lingyi to have a lot of strength."

Xu Lingyi saw Eleven Niang, her face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and she said coldly: "Let's talk about it when I go back!" ”

Seeing that he looked unkind, Eleven Niang followed him into the house with low eyebrows.

He sent the maid in the house, and casually put the burden on the kang near the window in the inner room: "You find a few mothers with a strict tone to help take care of them for the time being." As his words fell, the baggage dispersed.

Eleven Niang was dumbfounded, as if she had been struck by lightning, and she couldn't move for a long time.

It turned out to be a child in the baggage.

He looks like he's only two or three years old. Pale and thin, shrunk into a ball, unable to distinguish between men and women. He wore a small coat of red satin that was obviously smaller, stained with oil, and the cuffs of the collar were polished, revealing a small thin arm. Or maybe it's too cold and your skin is a little dark. The hair was unkempt on the head and gave off an unpleasant smell. He was looking at her in horror.

There was a "buzz" in her head, and her heart became a pot of porridge, and she couldn't help but point to a pair of round and big phoenix eyes on the child's dirty little face: "This, what is this?" ”
