Chapter 558: Bow Your Head (I)
The next day, Eleven Niang went to Sixiang Hutong with eight-color gifts.
Wu Niang is directing the family to pack up the cage. When he saw it, he asked Zhuo Tao to pack up the big kang in the east and sit there to talk.
“…… I was going to send someone to tell you this afternoon. I didn't expect you to come first. I happen to have a couple of things to entrust you. Then he called the honest couple to come in, "Qian Ercai and the two of them." The elder brother. When we left, the house was given to them to guard. What's the matter, it's hard for us to make a decision when we're far away, let the Qian Ercai family go to you. You can come and have a look every once in a while. He added, "I was going to entrust it to my eldest brother, but my sister-in-law is not here, and I don't feel at ease when I look at that Aunt Wang." Please also ask the eleventh sister to help with the lining. ”
Wu Niang was just afraid that people would take her money.
"I'll talk to the housekeeper." Eleven Niang smiled, "Let them come over often." ”
Wu Niang nodded, pulled her to the inner room, discussed what to bring over, and left her for lunch, and Eleven Niang went back to the lotus.
Mrs. Tai was not at home.
Eleven Niang was a little surprised.
She was fine when she left in the morning, how could she just go out?
"Mrs. Tai went out, didn't she explain anything?" Eleven Niang asked the jade version.
Yuban shook his head slightly: "Mrs. Tai recited the scriptures in the Buddhist hall as usual, but when she came out, she suddenly said that she was going to the red light alley to see Old Marquis Sun." He also left me and Fat Hong at home, and only brought Du's mother to serve alone. ”
For no reason, what did you do to meet the father of the fifth lady?
Eleven Niang returned to the house full of confusion, and before she could sit down, the little maid came in: "Madam, the young grandmother over there in Mitsui Hutong is here."
"The third brother's affairs are thanks to the fourth and fifth uncles taking care of it." Fang Shi half sat on the Taishi chair and said respectfully, "On the orders of my father-in-law, I specially came over to thank the two aunts." As he spoke, he brought the gift box up, and then took out two cocoon silk clothes, "This is made for the sixth uncle." The needlework is not good, please don't dislike the fourth aunt. ”
Eleven Niang smiled and asked Zhu Xiang to accept it, and asked about the matter over there in Mitsui Hutong.
"My father-in-law and mother-in-law are very happy." Fang said with a smile, "Mother-in-law was going to come to thank you in person, but when my uncle heard the news, he came to congratulate him today, and my father-in-law wanted to go to the military department with the fifth master to go through some formalities, so he sent me." He added, "Originally, Brother Jian was going to follow, but my mother-in-law said that he was now fifteen years old, and he ran to the inner courtyard without shying away from it, for fear of being said to be frivolous, so she left him at home." ”
What was said yesterday, the people of the Gan family know it today?
This is not an excuse, or the third lady couldn't help but let people go to Gan's house overnight to report the letter.
Eleven Niang smiled slightly and asked Fang's family: "Have you been there with the fifth lady?" ”
Fang Shi was a little uneasy and explained: "When I came to Aunt Si's side first, I said that Aunt Sixiang went to Sixiang Hutong. I chose to go to Aunt Five......"
Eleven Niang nodded with a smile and said, "Your second aunt's side, you have to go too." I heard that she copied a copy of "Jingzhou Zhan" and gave it to Qin Tianjian. ”
Fang Shi was stunned.
Shi Niang had already smiled and served tea: "I just came back from outside, and you also have your mother-in-law's instructions." I won't keep you. Come back another day."
Fang Shi hurriedly got up and took his leave.
Eleven Niang thought that Fang Clan would go to meet the Second Lady after listening to her hint, but there was no movement on Fang's side. She couldn't help muttering in her heart, could it be that her words were too subtle, Fang didn't understand it at all
After a few days like this, Mrs. Tai went to Mrs. Hou Lin of Weibei today, Mrs. Hou Huang of Yongchang tomorrow, and Mrs. Hou Tang of Zhongshan one day, which made everyone feel strange for a while.
Xu Siyu resigned to Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang.
"I've already sorted out the things that the gentleman has given me." He stood in front of Xu Lingyi with a straight posture, his smile was gentle and bright, "I haven't heard Mr.'s teachings for more than a year, I want to go back to Le'an as soon as possible." ”
Xu Siyu's proactive attitude made Xu Lingyi very pleased: "Then rush back in September." When the time comes, send Sister Zhen to Cangzhou. ”
Xu Siyu bowed down and responded "yes".
When he left, Xu Lingyi asked Xu Sizhen to take Xu Sijie and Brother Jin to see Xu Siyu off.
Xu Siqin and Xu Sijian heard that they were also here.
"When we arrive, ask someone to write us a letter." Xu Siqin told him, Xu Sijian was immersed in the excitement of going to the Praetorian Guard's standard-bearer guard on an errand, and patted his chest boldly: "Next time the second brother comes back, I will set up a banquet in Chunxi Tower to wash the dust for you." ”
Xu Siyu laughed and touched Brother Jin'er's head.
Brother Jin is ignorant and doesn't understand the sadness of parting. As soon as Xu Siyu left, he shouted for Xu Sijie to go to the bow with him.
Xu Siqin and Xu Sijian sent Xu Sijian out of the city, and Xu Sizhen smiled and asked Xu Sijie and Brother Jin to go to the courtyard where he lived: "...... We were spacious there. The father rewarded the little servant Wang Shu and was also good at juju. ”
Xu Sijie also didn't go to Xu Sizhen for a few days, so he naturally agreed.
The group went to the place where Xu Sizhen lived, and saw Steward Zhao hurrying to the academy with a name post. Seeing Xu Sizhen and the others, he hurriedly saluted respectfully.
Xu Sichen smiled and asked him, "Who is here?" ”
Steward Zhao said: "Master Fang of Huzhou is here"
"Who is Master Fang of Huzhou?" Xu Sijie looked at Xu Sizhen blankly.
"It's the sister-in-law's family," Xu Si said earnestly, and then asked Steward Zhao, "I just don't know who this Master Fang is the sister-in-law?" ”
"It's the uncle of the young grandmother." Steward Zhao smiled, "I once served as the imperial history. Later, he resigned and returned to Huzhou. This time, I brought Fang Tanhua to visit Hou Ye. ”
While speaking, Brother Jin was already impatient: "Keju, Keju"
Xu Sichen hurriedly quit Mr. Zhao and took his two younger brothers back to his yard.
After going back, Xu Sijie told Eleven Niang.
Eleven Niang secretly calculated the days, it would take more than 20 days to get here from Huzhou, and it seemed that the Fang family had already prepared. However, Master Fang's personal arrival to accompany the crime also surprised Eleven Niang a little.
When it was time for dinner, Xu Lingyi sent someone to Shi Niang, saying that he would set up a banquet to entertain the eldest master of the Fang family, and he would not come back for dinner.
After dinner, Eleven Niang took the child to greet Mrs. Tai.
Mrs. Tai was a little absent-minded, and when she heard the news, she just said "um" disapprovingly, kissed her brother, asked Xu Sizhen about her homework, and served tea.
When Eleven Niang led the children out, she happened to meet Du's mother.
She had just come out of the east room, and she still had this imperial calendar in her hand.
Eleven Niang smiled: "What is this for?" ”
Mother Du smiled: "Mrs. Tai said that she wanted to see what auspicious days there are these days." ”
The auspicious day of travel, the auspicious day of getting married, what auspicious day does Mrs. Tai see?
Shi Niang returned to the house, Xu Sijie practiced big characters on the kang table, and she sat aside to tell Brother Jin a story. After sending Xu Sijie away and coaxing Brother Jin to sleep, Xu Lingyi came back.
"This Master Fang, you can really drink it" His face turned red.
Eleven Niang hurriedly took cold water and washed his face: "What did you say?" ”
"Apologize." Xu Lingyi wiped her face and felt much better, "I also gave you some gifts." ”
"Then I'll talk to my mother early tomorrow morning." Eleven Niang smiled and helped him get a change of clothes, "The third sister-in-law, I'm afraid that my mother will come forward to say it."
Xu Lingyi nodded, finished grooming, and gave her the gift given by the Fang family to Shi Niang - it was a Daffodil hairpin carved from Hetian jade. The hairpin flower stem is as thin as a hairpin, not to mention, the flower posture is exquisite, lifelike, and it is extraordinary at a glance.
"So valuable?" Eleven Niang was very surprised.
"What is this?" Xu Lingyi got into bed with a smile, "Do you know what the Fang family sent to the second sister-in-law?" ”
It's unusual to hear.
Eleven Niang's heart moved: "What is the second sister-in-law?" ”
"It's a book called "Kaiyuan Zhanjing"." Xu Lingyi said, "I didn't know what it was for at first. After reading the book, I realized that it was originally a book about astrology. The Fang family gave the second sister-in-law only three of them. However, I heard Mr. Yu say that these three books are already precious and valuable. Then he groaned, "You say, why did the Fang family suddenly think of giving the second sister-in-law a book like this?" It's a little too expensive."
Fang didn't listen to her advice to visit the second lady because there was no suitable thing to make a thank-you gift? Or do you think it's better to thank the second lady in this way?
Eleven Niang smiled: "The sword is given to the hero, and the red fen is given to the beauty." Maybe the people of the Fang family think that such a thing can only be given to people like the second sister-in-law who have sex and value, so they can make the best use of it."
"It's also" Xu Lingyi didn't eliminate the confusion in his heart, but he couldn't find a reason for it, and gossiped with Eleven Niang with a smile, "If you give it to me, I don't know what it is, maybe I just put it away casually." ”
Eleven Niang's jaw: "The Fang family may want to show their sincerity with this, right?" ”
"I don't see the sincerity." Xu Lingyi said with a smile, "The Fang family gave Mrs. Tai a birthday star with a tall black jade carving, a Longquan sword to me, a piano made by Zhang Leixiao to Xiao Wu, and a bamboo jade plate of mutton fat jade to give to my fifth brother and sister...... We don't know anything about the people of the Fang family, but the people of the Fang family know everything about us. It is to be expected that we will be beaten passively at every turn. If it weren't for the fact that the Fang family didn't want to reconcile at all, otherwise they didn't know what would have happened? ”
That Fang family had already made all preparations.
Eleven Niang didn't want to say more, for fear of arousing Xu Lingyi's disgust with the other party's family and making things repeated.
"Tomorrow will I tell my mother, or will Hou Ye tell my mother?" She changed the subject.
"You go and talk to your mother." Xu Lingyi said, "My mother handed over this matter to you at the beginning."
"That's good." Eleven Niang smiled, "I'll go and tell my mother tomorrow when I have breakfast."
Mrs. Tai's spirit was a little trance-like, I heard that the eldest master of the Fang family had brought Fang Ji to get acquainted, but she just said "um" absentmindedly, and when Eleven Niang took out the things sent by the Fang family, Mrs. Tai just glanced at the Moyu Shouxing Weng who was lying in the big red Gu velvet box, and let the jade version be accepted. After playing for a while, he served tea.
Eleven Niang came out with the child.
I met Mother Du who came out of the east room, and she still held this imperial calendar in her hand.
"What is this for?" Eleven Niang asked with a smile.
"Mrs. Tai said that she wanted to see when it was an auspicious time and an auspicious day." Du's mother smiled.
There is an auspicious day for travel, and there is an auspicious day for getting married. What auspicious day does Mrs. Tai want to see?
