Chapter 684: Alternation (I)

Eleven Niang just got up and was sitting on the kang drinking goat's milk. Hearing that Jiang was coming, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "So early!" ”

Amber smiled, "Didn't you ask the fourth young grandmother to come early?" ”

Just tell her not to be late.

Eleven Niang muttered in her heart, let Amber invite Jiang in, and asked Qiu Yu to bring a cup of goat's milk to Jiang.

"I just went to the flower hall at the beginning." She laughed, "You just came over at that time." ”

Jiang Gong replied "yes".

The little maid opened the window, and Qiu Yu came in with a handful of stalk stickers and inserted them in the water jade vase near the window, and the atmosphere in the room immediately became fresh and bright, full of vitality.

Aunt Wen and Qiao Lianfang came over to say hello together.

Qiao Lianfang only bowed slightly to Jiang, but Aunt Wen smiled and saluted Jiang: "The fourth young grandmother is also here!" ”

Jiang Shi thought of the account book that was transcribed to her, so he didn't dare to be sloppy, stood up, and shouted "Aunt Wen", which was regarded as a return salute.

Eleven Niang asked Aunt Wen how her accounts were counting.

Aunt Wen is an idle person. Since returning the money to the Wen family, I learned to do needlework in the house for a few days, and began to wander around the house, first helping the decent mothers in the house to bring some things from the north and the south to earn the difference in the middle, and then put the idea on the osmanthus trees and chestnuts planted at home, and encouraged the mothers to take them out. Eleven Niang watched her compete with those rough mothers-in-law for profit, so she handed over the matter of reviewing the housekeeper's mother's account book. That's when she stopped.

"The accounts of the New Year are clear with the secretary of the outer courtyard." Aunt Wen said with a smile, "I have also calculated the cost of this year's inner courtyard, and after two days of verification with the steward of the office, the money for the first half of the year will be transferred." ”

Eleven Niang nodded slightly, and instructed Aunt Wen: "You remember to reconcile accounts with Amber and then take it to the secretary's room." This year, Zheng Taijun's 80th birthday, and the uncle in Nanjing celebrates his 50th birthday, in addition to giving gifts at the back office, we also need to prepare some ...... here."

The two of them were talking, and Qiao Lianfang sat there with a blank expression.

Cheng Guogong's mansion has become more and more defeated in the past two years, and on Mrs. Tai's birthday last year, Mrs. Qiao gave a pair of plum bottles from the old kiln, and left in a hurry without eating the banquet. When it was time to receive the birthday gift, the mother who took care of the treasury for Mrs. Tai took the pair of plum bottles and muttered: "How do they look like things in our house." Then I called Du's mother to see it.

Mother Du looked at it for a long time with tortoiseshell glasses, pointed to the bottom of the plum bottle and said, "It's really something from our family - it was sent by Mrs. Qiao when she celebrated her birthday." There is also a set of tea sets from the old kiln and a pair of square flowers. As he spoke, he put things down and smiled at his mother who was in charge of the warehouse, "You still remember." I think it's mostly a long time ago, and the Qiao family took this as Mrs. Tai's thing and put it in the library. Or maybe the accounts over there are so chaotic that even they can't remember it clearly. ”

The mother in charge of the warehouse smiled when she heard this: "It seems that the plum bottles of this old kiln have become good things at the bottom of the box." ”

Somehow, the words came out.

Qiao Lianfang seemed to be cramped all of a sudden, and suddenly lost her energy, and she didn't even go out of the door.

After Eleven Niang finished asking Aunt Wen's words, Aunt Wen didn't wait for Eleven Niang to serve tea, so she got up and said goodbye with a very good look: "I'll show it to you when I and Guan Qing's family have finished together." ”

"Hmm!" Eleven Niang smiled and nodded, and Qiao Lianfang followed Aunt Wen away.

Xu Sijie and Yingniang came over to say hello to Eleven Niang.

"How did you two get together?" Eleven Niang smiled and asked the little maid to sit with the brocade and them.

Yingniang glanced at Xu Sijie, and Xu Sijie looked at Yingniang, meaning to let her say first - since Yingniang came, her mother began to make clothes and jewelry, and also told Yingniang to dress up and be happy all of a sudden. He naturally wants to let Yingniang. Seeing that he was humble, Yingniang smiled, and was not polite, and said with a smile: "I got up late, and I met my fifth cousin when I went out." ”

"What did you do last night?" Eleven Niang likes Yingniang's heartiness very much, and has a kind of confidence that everything can be said to people, "I got up late." ”

"It's a fight!" Yingniang smiled, "Didn't you reward me with a cloisonné enamel target yesterday?" I want to put a tassel on it. Guan Qingjia said that it is good to use plum blossoms to save the heart......" She was slightly surprised, "I made it up slowly, and it took some effort." ”

Eleven Niang smiled slightly, her smile was very wide.

The maids and daughters-in-law in the house naturally cheered and laughed, and the room suddenly became lively.

"Have you had breakfast?" Eleven Niang asked Xu Sijie.

"I used it." Xu Sijie smiled, "After greeting my mother, I'll go to Tingtao Pavilion." ”

Eleven Niang nodded, beckoned Yingniang and Jiang to have breakfast, and then went to Mrs. Tai with Jiang.

Mrs. Tai didn't look at the roster of the banquet, and said to Jiang: "Your mother just has seen it!" "Total trust.

Jiang smiled and said "yes" and handed the roster to Amber - it wasn't that whoever took the right card and instructed the department to do it without any doubt. In the past, it was Du's mother who dealt with the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, and now, it is Guan Qing's family.

Mrs. Tai asked how March 3 was over.

Eleven Niang looked at Jiang with a smile and asked her to behave in front of Mrs. Tai.

After saying this, Mrs. Tai was very satisfied. Left Eleven Niang to speak: "Brother Zhen'er, this daughter-in-law is not bad!" ”

"That's what I thought too." Eleven Niang smiled, "So I want her to follow me to familiarize herself with some old practices at home." ”

Mrs. Tai said "um" and asked about Princess Fucheng's illness: "...... Haven't it been okay yet? What did the Zhou family say? ”

Since she handed over the affairs of the family to Shi Niang, Mrs. Tai would not question her decision, let alone ask more about it.

"It was said that the thigh bone was broken, so I could only lie in bed and recuperate." Shi Niang said in a low voice, "When I visited the patient last year, I said a few words to me, and I saw that I was in good spirits. ”

When I get older, I think about people of my generation. Although she is not usually very close, Princess Fucheng slipped and broke her thigh two days ago still made Mrs. Tai very worried.

"Let's keep it!" Mrs. Tai muttered, "I'm old, I'm afraid it will be difficult to raise for a while." As he spoke, he instructed Eleven Niang, "You ask someone to send a post to the princess's mansion." Let's go to the house and have a look. ”

Eleven Niang responded, gave a post to the princess's mansion, prepared gifts, and went to the princess's mansion with Mrs. Tai.

Princess Fucheng's situation was harsher than Mrs. Tai thought. Because of the leg injury, the pain was so restless that the imperial doctor had to use some calming decoction, and benzoin was also lit in the house, and Princess Fucheng was less awake and more drowsy, and her originally red face suddenly became pale and haggard.

Mrs. Tai was deeply touched by it. After going back, let Du's mother count her private property.

"If it's like a blessing, wouldn't there be no words of explanation."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was a little low.

Eleven Niang often came over to talk to Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai only thought about Xu Lingyi in her heart and wanted him to come back soon. often took her hand and said that Xu Lingyi was a child, sometimes in the middle of the night, Shi Niang thought about it, and sometimes rested in front of the concubine's couch in front of Mrs. Tai's bed.

In this way, on the third day of March, the house was full of guests and laughter, and Mrs. Tai's mood gradually improved.

On that day, everyone moved to sit in the flower boat, and the mother-in-law caught fish from Biyi Lake and invited everyone to look at it, and then immediately took it to the kitchen to make it. Some caught big fish, one fish made into three eats, and some only caught a few small fish, only enough to fry one plate. Some are happy, some are complaining. But it's not that people who don't have food and clothing, but they find it interesting. Grinning, very lively. Then they praised the meaning of this spring banquet. Eleven Niang took the opportunity to push Jiang out: "It's all the idea of our fourth young grandmother." ”

As a result, Jiang gained some fame in the family of the princess in Yanjing. Whoever has a happy event, the person in charge will take a look at the Jiang family who is following Shi Niang, and ask, "This is the fourth young grandmother who held the March 3 Spring Banquet", Shi Niang smiled and introduced Jiang to the principal, and some entertainment was slowly handed over to Jiang, and she took time to look at the fifth lady to see the Lu Gongzi.

The fifth lady was originally a little satisfied in her heart, but when she saw herself, Yushu's appearance in the wind, she was a little more willing. It didn't take long for this family business to come up with a general explanation.

Cao E took her son Wen Ge'er to Yanjing.

Lan Ting's sister who went to Tongzhou to pick up in person did not enter the gate of Zhongqinbo, and went to the house on the other side of Si'er Hutong first.

The things have long been cleaned up, and there is still the operation of Liu Taiping's family, who once served the second lady, Cao E looked around and was very satisfied.

"I inherited the great favor of Eleven Niang." Lan Tingai touched Brother Wen'er's head pityingly, "I just hope that Brother Wen will not live up to the third sister's good intentions." ”

Cao E pursed her lips when she heard this, but didn't say a word.

Nine-year-old Brother Wen looks like his father, but his temperament is like Cao E. But he said awe-inspiringly: "Mother, aunt, don't worry, I will definitely study hard." ”

"You have to read the books well," Lan Ting sighed, "and you have to learn to be a man." ”

Brother Wen nodded.

Liu Taiping's family hurriedly ran in: "Mrs. Jiang, Grandma Liang, our wife is here!" ”

The two were stunned.

Lan Ting smiled: "Eleven Niang is a heart. ”

Cao E's serious face couldn't help but burst into a small smile: "If it weren't for my heart, how could I have given me a big red swast with dark lines on my head." ”

For a while, the two sisters were more intimate with Eleven Niang. They all greeted him.

* * * * * *

When I came back from Si'er Hutong, it was dusk.

Eleven Niang asked Amber, "What is Miss Big Watch doing?" ”

In the first few days of Yingniang's arrival, Eleven Niang took Yingniang with her wherever she went, and the two were very affectionate. But these days, Eleven Niang ignored Yingniang, left her alone in the yard, and didn't tell those maids and mothers-in-law, everyone didn't know how to treat Yingniang, and Yingniang didn't know where she could go and where she couldn't go.

Amber was puzzled, but when Eleven Niang asked, she still said respectfully: "Miss Dabiao waits for the flowers and plants in your yard every day these days, and makes some needlework when she is free." ”

"Is she still alive?"

Amber was a little surprised, and pondered: "I was a little overwhelmed in the first two days, but then the fifth young master moved the gardenia over, and Miss Dabiao had something to do, and people settled down." ”
