Chapter 173: Arrival (Part II)

Shi Niang carefully hung the jade pendant on the belt of the rhinoceros horn, then straightened up and looked at Xu Lingyi, who was wearing a big red silk official uniform, for a moment, and smiled: "Okay!" ”

Xu Lingyi nodded: "Then I'll go to the court!" ”

"Master Hou is careful all the way." Eleven Niang helped Xu Lingyi put on a cloak and sent him to the door.

Xu Lingyi said "um" and went out with Zhaoying's service.

Looking at the red lantern that was getting farther away, Eleven Niang stood for a while before returning to the house.

The little maidens were tiptoeing to clean up the table, and Amber served her into the inner room.

"Madame, do you want to sleep again?"

"No!" She has been catching up with the screen these days, "I'll embroider flowers!" Just take a nap in the middle of the day. ”

Amber moved her flower shelf to the kang in response, sat down to help her divide the line, and chatted with her.

"Liu Yuanrui's family came to see me two days ago. I saw that you were busy, so I didn't make a sound. ”

"But for the sake of a big marriage?" Eleven Niang's hand didn't stop, and asked her lightly, "The Wanyi Sect family refuses to let go?" ”

"It's not." Amber smiled, "The Wanyi Sect still thought that you were going to deal with disobedient maidservants, so they didn't dare to agree. Later, I heard that it was someone close to you, and when I was old enough to let it out, I was overjoyed and immediately responded. begged Liu Yuanrui's family to come to him. I saw her like that, and I deliberately dragged it out. Let them be anxious too. ”

Eleven Niang couldn't help laughing: "You! ”

Amber covered her mouth and smiled: "Liu Yuanrui's family has always come to report to you, when do you think you have time to meet her?" ”

Eleven Niang muttered: "Just tomorrow!" Holly is twenty years old this year. If it can be decided before the end of the year, it will be done in the spring of next year. lest she be so enclosed in the house that she can't go out. ”

Amber immediately responded with a grin.

Just as Holly came in, Amber couldn't help but look at her and smile.

Holly Fox was puzzled: "What's going on?" ”

The eight characters were still a little short, and she was afraid that Holly would be shy, so Eleven Niang hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay." Then he asked her, "Have you finished embroidering the veil I asked you to embroider?" "The general embroidery is some complex flowers and birds, beginners are afraid of difficulties, she painted a few very simple flower and plant patterns to tempt Sister Hui, because she didn't have time, so let Holly help embroidery.

Holly hurriedly showed the handkerchief in the rattan basket to Eleven Niang.

The embroidery is not bad!

Shi Niang smiled and put the handkerchief away.

Nam Yong's daughter-in-law came over.

"You comb me in a high bun!" She usually saves her children at will, "There were a lot of things at home in the first two days, and the second sister-in-law didn't make it." I'll go back to Xishan after breakfast today, and I'll see her off later. ”

Nanyong's daughter-in-law smiled and responded "yes", served Shi Niang to sit down on the mirror platform and combed her hair, and Shi Niang changed into a pink jacket and a blue-green skirt and went to Mrs. Tai.

The second lady's cage has been packed, and she is saying goodbye to Mrs. Tai.

Eleven Niang greeted Mrs. Tai and saluted the second lady, and the third lady came and the fifth lady came in one after the other. Everyone, you and I told the second lady one by one, asking her to pay attention to safety on the road, and if she wants her to send someone to report anything to the house...... It wasn't until the end of the day that the second lady was sent out of the door.

These days, the second lady has been accompanying Mrs. Tai, once she leaves, she can't help but have a few feelings of sadness, fortunately, Xu Siqin, Xu Siyu and Xu Sijian don't have to go to school, they are laughing in Mrs. Tai's house every day, and Eleven Niang took Sister Zhen to Mrs. Tai's place to do needlework, the house was very lively, and Mrs. Tai's mood quickly improved. Seeing that the sky was clear, she specially asked Du's mother to invite the fifth master and the fifth lady to come over and play the leaf card.

The fifth master laughed a series of words, making everyone laugh.

A little guy ran in to look for him: "...... said that it was the old acquaintance of the master, and when the master sang "Rolling Building" with Liu Huifang in Cuiqing Building, he once played the huqin for the master. ”

The fifth master's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he said, "What is he doing here?" He hurriedly got up again, "I'll take a look!" ”

The fifth lady looked thoughtful.

Mrs. Tai's face sank: "You stop me!" ”

The fifth master listened to his footsteps and stagnated, and his face looked a little pale.

"I see that the Chinese New Year is coming." Mrs. Tai's eyebrows were cold, "What's the good thing about these people coming to you?" Then he instructed Du's mother, "Go and get twenty taels of silver." Then he said to the little guy, "You go and tell the man that the fifth master has a guest, and it is inconvenient to go out to greet him." The twenty taels of silver should be regarded as the fifth master who invited him to drink. ”

The little servant took the money and went away.

The fifth master was a little restless: "Mother, I'd better go and have a look, right?" ”

"How?" Mrs. Tai looked at the fifth master sharply, "Think I gave less?" ”

"No, no." The fifth master hurriedly said, "I'm afraid that he will quarrel......"

"It's the other way around!" Mrs. Tai's face was sullen, "Why is he arguing?" Isn't there something you're hiding from me? ”

"No, no." A trace of panic flashed in the eyes of the fifth master.

"Mother," the fifth lady suddenly smiled, "The fifth master has always been lenient with people, so I took the money and sent it away, I think I was afraid that people would think that the master's shelf was big." It's just a little uneasy! ”

The fifth master nodded after hearing this: "Exactly, exactly." I've always treated them like brothers......"

When Mrs. Tai heard this, she slapped the ground on the kang table: "Treat them like brothers?" ”

The children who were laughing in the room saw that the situation was not right, and they all stood aside silently and breathlessly.

"The fifth master can't speak like this." The fifth lady smiled and pulled the sleeve of the lady's coat, "Don't be like him." He shouted to the fifth master again, "Don't you hurry up and accompany your mother!" ”

The fifth master reacted excitedly, and stepped forward to accompany Mrs. Tai.

Looking at her son with a depressed face, Mrs. Tai's good mood was gone.

She put the leaf card: "It's not too early, you guys should go back to the back garden early!" lest the road slip late in the day. ”

When the fifth lady heard this, she got off the kang and put on her shoes, laughed with the lady, and went back to the back garden with the fifth master.

On the way, the fifth lady asked the fifth master: "What can't you tell your mother, it's the same with me." We husband and wife are of the same heart, and we can always figure out a way! ”

The fifth master didn't speak for a long time, but his brows were furrowed tightly.

When he returned to the house, the fifth master was lying on the big kang near the window, looking very boring.

The fifth lady personally brought hot tea over: "Master, come and have a cup of tea." ”

"I don't want to drink!" The fifth master is sullen.

The fifth lady was not reluctant, and accompanied her to do needlework.

The fifth master has been tossing and turning over and over again.

When it was time to eat, he hastily picked up a few bites and got up to find Xu Lingyi: "...... I can't stay at home like this every day, can I? ”

The fifth lady sent him out with a smile: "Do you want me to find you later?" lest the Hou Ye scold people endlessly! ”

The fifth master hung his head and took the fifth lady's hand: "Danyang ......" looked very grateful.

The fifth lady covered her sleeves and smiled: "I and the fifth master are husband and wife, I don't help the fifth master, who else can help the fifth master." ”

The fifth master nodded and urged her: "Go back quickly!" It's cold outside! ”

"Be careful on your way!" The fifth lady nodded, stood at the door and looked at the fifth master in the distance.

As if feeling something, the fifth master turned around, saw his wife's calm face under the red lantern at the door from a distance, and waved his hand with a smile: "Come in!" ”

The fifth lady smiled and waved at him until she could no longer see her husband, and then returned to the courtyard.

Mother Shi immediately stepped forward to help the fifth lady on the kang.

"How? It's clear! ”

"Got it checked!" Mother Shi said in a low voice, "That person is Liu Huifang, from a Liyuan family. Two uncles and a cousin are also famous in Yanjing. However, this person has a bad character, likes to drink, and drank his throat three years ago, and he has never been able to sing on stage again. ”

The fifth lady frowned when she heard this: "What is the fifth master afraid of?" ”

"Listening to the meaning of his words, the fifth master is generous and good-looking...... "Mother Shi said slowly, "I think no one else can ask for it, so I have to come to ask for the fifth master." ”

"It's as simple as that...... the fifth lady didn't believe it, and she didn't want to think about that pickled place.

Mother Shi didn't understand anything, so she simply said, "Ye is not that kind of person." Otherwise, why did the longevity class give the little begonia to the third young master of the Zhongshan Hou Mansion...... What's more, I look at Liu Huifang's current appearance, full of beards, fat and fat, where can I still see a little bit of the demeanor of the past......"

"You know what!" The fifth lady said worriedly, "If Liu Huifang becomes like this and still makes the master worry, it will be more worrying than taking the little begonia!" ”

As long as she didn't take it to heart, the fifth lady didn't care about her husband's drama at all.

"Then, I'll inquire again......"

The Fifth Lady nodded.

Over there, Xu Lingyi was talking to Eleven Niang: "...... I said that I had foot paralysis, and that the weather this year was colder than usual, and it was really painful, and I wanted to resign from the post of governor of the five armies. ”

"What did the emperor say?" Eleven Niang asked nervously.

"The emperor disagrees." Xu Lingyi smiled bitterly, "And ask me if it's because of the fifth prince?" “

"And what do you say?"

"I told him about the family." Xu Lingyi said, "Especially when it comes to Brother Chen." Since childhood, he has been deficient, he fought outside the country in the early years, and later he was busy with government affairs, and he was spoiled by his mother and Yuan Niang. Now he only knows how to follow his sister to play rope flipping and throwing sandbags every day. Although he is not expected to be all-round in civil and military affairs, he cannot be raised as a gentleman. While he is still young, I want to spend more energy teaching him well, so as not to lose the face of the Xu family! His tone was very helpless, and it could be seen that it was not entirely for the sake of resignation, so he talked about Brother Chen. The emperor's eyes turned red when he listened. Said, I thought that Brother Zhen was older and let him enter the palace to accompany the five princes......" Speaking of this, he paused in his tone, "Ask about my foot paralysis." I said that several imperial doctors in the imperial hospital have read it all and found some folk home remedies, but now it is getting more and more serious. Then talk to the emperor about the northwest. said that although the northwest is calm now, after five or ten years, it will inevitably break out again, so that the emperor will take this opportunity to transfer those trusted guards and generals to the past, so that they can experience experience. First, they have been by the emperor's side for many years, loyal and capable. Second, the emperor rewarded the future of these old people, and those new people naturally knew what to do when they saw it; Third, it can avoid the absence of successors in the northwest. He also took the opportunity to tell the emperor about wanting the third brother to come out. said that in this way, it can be regarded as a decent and decent division of the family......" The tone is very sad.

Xu Lingyi completely and completely let go of the power in his hands!

Eleven Niang was stunned, and then fell silent.

After a while, he said, "Does the emperor agree?" ”

I am back!

O(∩_∩)O haha~

I saw everyone's messages about the addition. Let me explain it to you here. Because there are a few things that have been decided for a long time in October. One is the younger brother's wedding, which has been prepared for more than half a year; Second, I was notified in mid-August, and I needed to travel for a week in October. Time is not up to me, I dare not say anything about the addition, so the addition of the update is scheduled for August. If there is any misunderstanding caused to everyone, please forgive me!

To be honest, I was really touched to see that people voted for me like that. Some friends said that the strategy of concubines and the strategy of repaying debts. Come to think of it, it really makes sense.

~~~~~~~~

The only thing I can do is keep changing and try to add more!

I'll add a change tonight, which is a little bit of a thank you for me!

Thank you all for your continued support, thank you!
