Chapter 507: Joy and Sorrow (Part II)
Eleven Niang smiled when she heard this: "Mrs. Tai said that she likes which drama troupe?"
The big man sent someone to ask her, and he also respected her as the housewife, but she couldn't ignore the preferences of the old man.
The jade version of the eyes was shining: "Mrs. Tai said, I don't know how Bai Xixiang sings!" ”
Eleven Niang smiled and nodded, and went to Mrs. Tai.
"It's not the Changsheng class or the Deyin class, you see, do you want to change it this year, please come to the incense club to sing in the hall, you can also have a fresh ......"
Mrs. You nodded with a smile and discussed with Eleven Niang: "Is it better to steam or braise the moth?" Lilacs or begonias in the flower hall are good......"
The two muttered for an afternoon and settled the matter of March 3.
In the evening, "the third master, Xu Lingning, had news coming over, saying that the third master had been re-elected in Shanyang County."
Mrs. Tai was very happy, and the third lady took the opportunity to discuss Mrs. Tai: "...... The director of the Department of Literature and Literature of the Ministry of Officials has been very helpful, and I would like to invite his wife to come to the house for a glass of water and wine on March 3......"
The people in the room fell silent all at once.
Mrs. Tai smiled and took a sip of the teacup. tea, said slowly: "We just add a pair of chopsticks noodles." I'm afraid that the lady in charge will be embarrassed! What to wear, what to wear, and what to use as a gift...... It's going to take a lot of thought. If you are willing, I think, it is more affordable to book a table in Chunxi Building and send it over......"
The third lady couldn't hold back her face, and she was a little dumbfounded.
The fifth lady glanced at the third lady with a smile, and hugged Mrs. Tai's arm with a smile: "Mother" You tell the fifth master, I will also go to the spring hall to listen to the play on the third day of March......"
According to the ancient parenting scriptures, those who are pregnant should recuperate at home.
The adult knew that she was helping the third lady step down, looked at her slightly bulging abdomen, and nodded her forehead with a smile: "You give me a good stay in the house." "Mother! The fifth lady shook Mrs. Tai's arm and sprinkled Jiao'er, "You just agreed......"
Xu Sijian and Xu Sizhen both pursed their lips and smiled, but Sister Xiao ran to hug Mrs. Tai's other arm, but she didn't hold it, so she pulled Mrs. Tai's sleeve, and said delicately like her mother: "Mother, you will agree......"
The room was full of laughter.
Mrs. Tai was even more pitiful and twisted the fifth lady's cheeks: "Look at you like this, you are not big or small, you are not ......."
Xu Sijie grinned.
Xu Siqin blushed with shame for his mother's incomprehension, and lowered his head.
On March 3, Mrs. Huang and Grandma Huang were still the first to arrive. Mrs. Huang sat with Mrs. Tai, and Grandma Huang San pulled Eleven Niang to the side to speak: "...... The prince got a pair of red coral two days ago, looking at the rarity, let me bring it to you today, and I will also have an auspicious ...... when I change the furnishings in the house."
In ancient times, coral was a very precious thing, not to mention Hongshan, it was a thank you gift specially found by Xu Lingyi for helping in the Yang family's house raiding incident!
Eleven Niang was polite and accepted it with a smile.
Mrs. Lin and Grandma Lin came.
"When will your sister Zhen get married......" Grandma Lin was in high spirits and her face was red, "Our sister Hui is now three months pregnant......
"Congratulations! Congratulations...... "Eleven Niang and Grandma Huang San congratulated Grandma Lin.
Lord Lin smiled with Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Tai: "Look, I can't hold my breath at all."
"Such a good thing, we can't hold our breath just as well!" Mrs. Tai smiled and called Grandma Lin to ask for details.
After sending off the guests in the evening, Eleven Niang served Mrs. Tai to rest, and Mrs. Tai couldn't help but hesitate: "Or, let Sister Zhen marry as soon as possible......"
"The fast is only the end of this year, and the slow is only the beginning of next year's spring. ......" Eleven Niang said with a smile, "Sister Hui is familiar with our sister Zhen in Cangzhou, and then she will go, and there will be someone to guide the way, wouldn't it be better......"
The big man nodded and said with a smile: "Xu is old, so I want to watch my children and grandchildren reunite as soon as possible......" said Shi Niang's heart was shocked.
"Mother can't think like this......" She helped Mrs. Tai change into civilian clothes for resting, "Our brother's daughter-in-law is still waiting for your red envelope......
Mrs. Tai smiled: "Don't worry, rest assured, it's ready in the morning!" There will be no shortage of your brother's ......" and then talked to Eleven Niang about Mrs. Qiao: "...... I didn't come to the spring banquet on March 3 for two years, when Cheng Guocheng was appointed as the chief soldier of Xuantong, and the fourth child had just returned from his hometown to guard filial piety. I don't know why I didn't come this time......"
"Maybe there are a lot of things at home...... "Eleven Niang heard Xu Lingyi say this, "I took more than 200,000 taels of silver out and put the money with the people of the Yang family, and now the Yang family's book was burned by the emperor outside the noon gate, the Qiao family has nothing to say, some money is still borrowed, and the creditors heard that they flocked to Qiao's house to ask Qiao's family to repay the money." Qiao's family had no money, and someone rushed to the main hall to move away an ancestral green bronze tripod, if it weren't for the people of Shuntian Mansion Yin, who came quickly, "The three-foot-long and two-foot-wide rosewood incense case was almost carried away." In the past few days, Cheng Guocheng has been entertaining these things, how can Mrs. Qiao be in the mood to come to our house to drink and listen to the play......"
Because a large part of the Yang family's usury was lent to the officials of the six ministries. After the Marquis of Jianning and Shou Changbo were imprisoned, "the officials of the Dali Division were a little afraid to interrogate, and the emperor simply asked people to post a notice and set up a day to burn all the account books at the noon gate."
Mrs. Tai has also heard of it, but she doesn't have the details of Eleven Niang. Listening to the sigh, he said, "The defeat is like a mountain. This is not the case with the housekeeper. I think this time the Qiao family is only afraid that they will be greatly injured. It's just that there are no top-notch ......people among the children and grandchildren", he said, recalling the past, "I remember that Cheng Guogong has a younger brother, who is about the same age as the fourth child. When I was a child, I don't remember why I had a dispute with the fourth, and I corrected a few playmates to put the fourth child in the set, and I actually put the fourth child in, and it took five taels of silver to finish the matter. He's a very smart and shrewd one. It's a pity that he was later lured into the land of fireworks by Mrs. Qiao, and was later taken out of the house for a show. If I had taught it well and sent it to the barracks for training, maybe it would have been useful at this time. ”
This matter is a bit complicated, "Eleven Niang is not good at what to say."
"yes!" She coped with two sentences and talked about Xu Sifu: "I don't know how Indozhai has cleaned up?" I'll have to check it out tomorrow! ”
"You don't have to worry about that." Mrs. Tai smiled, "I let Mother Du keep an eye on it, if there is anything, she will tell me." Then he asked Yang Shou] Ji's family: "Is the sesame oil money over there in Dajue Temple ready?" ”
Regarding the matter of sending the Yang family to Dajue Temple, Shi Niang didn't say much, Xu Lingyi didn't ask much, and heard Shi Niang mention, "Let Manager Bai arrange it."
But to send someone, according to Canju, you want to send a pen sesame oil money.
"The sesame oil money has already been delivered. After saying that it is good, it will be thirty taels every Chinese New Year's Eve. The ninth day of the first month sent people away. ”
Mrs. Tai said slightly, and was served by Eleven Niang to rest.
Eleven Niang returned to the house.
Yan Xiang showed her a pair of corals given by Huang San's grandmother
It's pink, a foot high, and there are crystals shining in the light, which is very beautiful.
The maids were all amazed. Qiu Yu also touched it cautiously: "Madam, I heard that this thing is made from the horns on the head of the Sea Dragon King, and it can be used to avoid evil, is it true?" ”
Eleven Niang naturally won't believe it, but she won't expose it. Laughing: "Maybe! ”
Although Yan Xiang was calm, after all, she was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and she was also a little excited at this time, and said with a smile: "When I was young, I saw someone put it on the incense table in the ancestral hall. It should be true! ”
As he was talking, Xu Lingyi came in.
"Hey, who sent it?"
"Grandma Huang San sent it!" Eleven Niang smiled and got up to help him change his clothes.
Xu Lingyi took a look: "The two plants are the same height, and the appearance is similar, which is very rare." Then he said, "Put your plant on the windowsill" and the goldfish, and also have fun. One is placed on Brother Jin'er's kang head. ”
It seems that he also believes that coral has the function of warding off evil.
Eleven Niang responded with a smile. On the birthday of the eighth Buddha in early April, people sent five hundred arhats carved in ivory, which was regarded as a gift to Huang San's grandmother, which is a later story.
The next day, she went to Tampak Zhai.
Ge Jin has already moved in, and accompanied Shi Niang to take a trip in Tampo Zhai.
It is said that it is "Zhai", but it is a courtyard of five rooms and three entrances, the steps are all thick toon trees, the walls are re-painted, the furniture is new, the curtains and cushions are all new, the vases and tea sets are antiques, which look simple and natural, comfortable and elegant, quite suitable for Xu Sizhen's identity.
Eleven Niang was very satisfied, "It took a few days to settle Xu Sizhen, and the results of the emperor's disposal of the Yang family also came out."
"Confiscation of family property" exile to Linghui? ”
Xu Lingyi nodded: "The emperor finally remembered the old love and spared the lives of the Yang family." ”
"Then another elder?"
"Most of them won't survive!" Xu Lingyi said in a low voice, "But the people in the family can't be implicated." ”
Eleven Niang sighed slightly.
In the evening, Yang's mother, who heard the news, came to see her.
"Madam, I want to follow Aunt Yang to Dajue Temple to practice, and I ask Mrs. for permission!" As he spoke, he kowtowed.
I don't blame her for coming to herself.
The Yang family is like this now, and she has no place to go back. It's just a lot of food.
Eleven Niang let people hold her: "Aunt Yang is out of the house, she is a person outside the party, and it is not suitable for my mother to go with her." If my mother doesn't dislike it, I will find my mother an errand to look at the house in the Zhuangzi, what do you think? ”
Mother Yang was a little disappointed when she heard it, but Eleven Niang's words also made sense. She thanked Eleven Niang gratefully. On the night of the eighth day of the new year, he and his mother, who was sent by Eleven Niang to guard Yang's family, helped Yang pack up his things.
Yan Xiang came in with a dignified expression and whispered to Eleven Niang: "Since I put people back into the house, I don't cry or make trouble, and my things are all cleaned up, and I just let Mother Yang take down the four hanging screens on the wall of the inner room, saying that I like it very much and want to take it to the temple." ”
Only someone who is extremely strong can be calm and organized in this situation, and it is not to blame that some incense is a little worried.
Eleven Niang's purpose was to get her to leave the Xu family.
Listening to it, he whispered: "There is only that thing in her house, she can take whatever she wants!" As for the rest...... I asked the steward to talk to Dajue Temple, thirty taels of fragrant money and oil, divided into three times, once in Duanniu, once in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and once in the Spring Festival. Since there are people in the family who go, it is reasonable and reasonable to go to see Aunt Yang! ”
Some incense understood. After Yang left, he put the things Yang took away, made a note on the side, sent a few rough mothers to clean the courtyard, and then locked the courtyard door with a copper lock.
Yang's mother and the Xu family's rough mother sent the Yang family to Dajue Temple, and after coming back that night to kowtow to Eleven Niang, "I took the burden and followed the Xu family's steward to a grange in Shaanxi to be a housekeeper."
