Chapter 260: Settled (Part II)
Xu Lingyi didn't come back until the next day.
"It's okay." When he saw Eleven Niang, he said, "The child has passed under Wang Lang's name." ”
So fast......
Eleven Niangqi said: "How did Master Hou do it?" Seeing that although his appearance was clean and tidy, his lips were a little dry, and he was still wearing the clothes he wore when he went out yesterday, and there was a bad smell of wine on his body, I suspected that he had not slept at all yesterday, and he had drunk a lot of wine at Wang's house. Suppressed the surprise and turned around and ordered the maid to fetch water to come in and serve him to freshen up, and said, "Master Hou has drunk?" Do you want to make some decanting soup in the kitchen or boil some chicken soup to warm up your stomach? ”
"No need." Xu Lingyi said, "It's just that I haven't closed my eyes since yesterday." You made the bed and I'm leaning on it. ”
Everyone circled around him, and finally served him to bed, Shi Niang was going to wait for him to sleep well before asking about the situation, but who knew that Xu Lingyi took the initiative to talk about it.
"Grandpa Guo's ears are soft, but his heart is not confused. I made it clear to him, and he agreed. ”
How can it be so simple?
If it were so simple, wouldn't Luo Zhenxing say it!
Xu Lingyi saw that she didn't believe it, and said with a smile: "There are some things that I don't understand." I can't get to the point. Coupled with the noisy and noisy relatives on the side, Grandpa Guo had no idea for a while, and he didn't think about it.
"You must know that it is the royal grace to inherit the title, but who will inherit it is the royal family's own business. He now has a daughter-in-law and can adopt a grandson. If he adopts his own son, he will have to see if the heir has a son to inherit to Wang Lang. Even so, Wang Lang is not a descendant. If the tenth aunt is allowed to adopt an heir, first, she can still inherit the title, and second, her son is the father of the next prince, and you can get a better tribute. Otherwise, it will be the heir who will be worshipped by the future Guogong, not his own son Wang Lang.
"Grandpa Guo still has more heartache for his son in the final analysis. I'll say so. Naturally, he agreed. ”
Eleven Niang suddenly.
This kind of persuasion of the grandfather of the country with the support and sacrifice as the starting point is only thought of by people like Xu Lingyi, who were also born in the family of the minister, and the grandfather of the country can listen to what he says.
After all, Luo Zhenxing is younger and less qualified.
"Master Hou has worked hard." She took the opportunity to praise him, and then said about Qiao Lianfang, "...... said that he wanted to meet Mrs. Qiao San. I asked the two mothers who were serving with me, and both mothers said that Aunt Qiao was in good health and that it didn't matter if she would meet guests......"
Since Shi Niang said that Qiao Lianfang wanted to see her mother, Xu Lingyi's originally faint smile disappeared like a morning mist in the sun, and when Shi Niang said that Qiao Lianfang could meet guests, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were all indifferent, and he interrupted Shi Niang's words and said: "After all, she is pregnant." It's better to have a baby at home more and less to come and go with those idle people. ”
The eleventh lady who hadn't finished talking was there.
Before she could come back to her senses, Xu Lingyi had already stumbled and lay down: "I haven't been to Mrs. Tai's for dinner for a few days." You remember Youchu calling me up. "Needless to say.
Just a little maid came in and said, "Master Hou, madam, Aunt Qiao is here." ”
Looking at Xu Lingyi again, he had closed his eyes: "Remember calling me at the beginning of Youchu." ”
The tone is light, but it is persistent.
Eleven Niang had no choice but to go to the hall.
"Master Hou......" Seeing that only Eleven Niang came out alone, Qiao Lianfang had an unconcealable disappointment in her eyes, and she couldn't help but stretch her neck to look behind her.
"Master Hou just rested." Eleven Niang smiled, "If Aunt Qiao has something, tell me the same." ”
Qiao Lianfang couldn't find any other excuses. said: "I just want to ask what I said last time, let my mother come to see me......"
Xu Lingyi's words have been said very clearly.
Eleven Niang said euphemistically: "You are pregnant, it is better to focus on recuperation." ”
Qiao Lianfang's eyes widened when she heard this, and she looked incredulous, and only said after a while: "I, I want to meet Master Hou!" ”
Eleven Niang didn't care, she immediately turned sideways and made way out.
Qiao Lianfang looked at it, but hesitated. He looked shocked and uncertain for a long time before he whispered: "Since this is the case, then I can't disturb the Hou Ye to rest, and I will go back first." ”
Eleven Niang nodded, asked Lu Yun to send Qiao Lianfang out, turned around and returned to the inner room, sat on the big kang by the window and continued to embroider the unfinished "Gu Feng".
After passing the east corner gate, Xiu Lu whispered to Qiao Lianfang: "Miss, why didn't you go in and ask just now?" ”
Qiao Lianfang snorted lightly: "Eleven Niang is scheming, since she dares to let me in for questioning, eight or nine times out of ten she has a countermeasure." Wouldn't I be fooled when I rushed in like this! ”
Xiu Lu listened to the reasonableness and kept nodding.
Qiao Lianfang instructed her: "You are smarter, let's find another opportunity to meet Master Hou alone." ”
Embroidered in response.
It's a pity that Xu Lingyi is busy with the affairs of the outer courtyard in the next few days, not to mention Qiao Lianfang, even Eleven Niang can only see each other sooner or later.
On February 6, news came that the third master, Xu Lingning, was appointed as the commander of Shanyang County.
When the news came out, there was an uproar.
Xu Lingyi just lost an idle position as the governor of the three and five armies, and the emperor let the third child of the Xu family come out, although he was only a seven-rank parent official in a small county, but he was a civilian.
What the emperor thinks inevitably makes people think about it a few times.
For a time, there was a lot of traffic in front of Xufu, and people were constantly celebrating.
For the first time, the third lady became the protagonist of everyone's attention, and she was in good spirits on happy occasions, and she wore a red silk sleeve jacket every day to instruct the maid and mother-in-law to serve tea and boil water, and set up wine and food. I still have to take the time to hum in front of Mrs. Tai: "The third master is shrewd in business, but this daily matter is confused." How can I rest assured that it's a long way away. ”
Mrs. Tai groaned: "Isn't there an aunt in his house?" Why don't you let her follow? ”
The third lady was secretly anxious in her heart, but she didn't dare to show anything on her face, and said with a smile: "That's also a fool." He served less than three days in the previous month. ”
"It's a hard thing to do." Mrs. Tai nodded, her face slightly condensed, "You are his daughter-in-law, these things must be arranged." ”
"Our third master grew up under your knees. You know his temper best. The third lady smiled, "I originally wanted to add someone to him, but his eyes are high, and this and that are not very eye-catching, so this matter has been delayed." Now that you are in a hurry, you will not be able to pick the right one. Then he showed a few hints, "I'm not at ease." Thinking about it, I just hope that I can follow. But I'm afraid that there is no one to serve in front of your old man......" he said, and secretly looked at Mrs. Tai with his eyes.
Mrs. Tai felt that the fire was almost over, and nodded slightly: "I'm not seventy or eighty years old and unable to move, and I don't need you to serve for the time being." It's just that you're gone, and there's no one to take care of......"
The two of them said so much first, just to lead to this sentence.
The third lady immediately smiled and said, "Mother, if you want to talk about the housekeeper, there is still a cool person in our family." ”
"Oh!" Mrs. Tai raised an eyebrow.
"Fourth brother and sister!" The third lady covered her mouth and smiled, "She herself can be literate." These days, he has been by my side, and he can get through it at one point, and he will be able to pull it out, and I think he is a capable one. Why don't you let her give it a try? ”
"She?" Mrs. Tai smiled, "It's not time yet......
The tone has loosened a bit.
The third lady hurriedly said: "Ambition is not old. That Ganluo is still a prime minister at the age of twelve! What's more, she will be in time for a few months......" highly recommended.
Mrs. Tai hesitated for a long time, but still agreed: "Let her try it for the time being." ”
The third lady was out of sight when she heard this, for fear that Mrs. Tai would regret it, so she took it upon herself to ask Qiu Aya to invite Eleven Niang to come: "...... Whether I'm exaggerating or not, just ask. ”
After Eleven Niang came, Mrs. Tai had to ask, Eleven Niang naturally had to excuse herself, and the third lady tried her best to protect it, everyone came and went, Eleven Niang reluctantly took the cards and keys: "...... When will the third sister-in-law leave? I still have to point my fingers these days. ”
The third lady was relieved and promised with a smile: "Don't worry, rest assured, I will definitely hand over the matter to you properly before I leave, and I won't let you panic and don't know what to do." Then she pulled Eleven Niang to quit Mrs. Tai and went to the West Flower Hall where she was going.
The housekeeper and mother of the family were all prepared, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly, and they didn't expect that the third lady would not leave the scene gloomily, but be promoted and released, and everyone put away their slackness, with a smile on their faces, so as to send off and welcome, the scene was lively and very harmonious.
Amber and Zhu Xiang followed. Amber helped manage the personnel, Zhu Xiang helped manage the money and things, and the two and the mothers-in-law took over the reconciliation of accounts. Eleven Niang and the Third Lady sat in the inner room to listen to the newspaper. After a while, someone came to report to the third lady: "Song Da * milk is here." ”
Qiu Aya dropped the things in her hand and told the little maid to go to the main house of the third lady.
The third lady explained to Eleven Niang: "It's my sister-in-law." I wanted to know that her brother-in-law was on a foreign assignment, so I came to congratulate her. "Not receiving.
Eleven Niang smiled and nodded.
After a while, someone came to report who was coming.
The third lady either asked the little maid to take a look, or asked Gan's mother to serve a cup of tea, or went to socialize in person. When it was time to light the lights, only more than half of the daily accounts were handed over. The third lady sent someone to the outer courtyard to ask, saying that Xu Lingning and Xu Lingyi were still drinking in the outer courtyard. The two had a hasty dinner, and then continued to reconcile. It wasn't done until the beginning of the year.
The two of them made an appointment to clean up the accounts of the warehouse tomorrow - which is a big deal. It is necessary to reconcile the accounts as well as the things. Then they ate supper and dispersed.
Since both of them are leaving, there is no reason to leave the child here.
When the third lady returned home, she asked her husband to find a way.
Xu Lingning drank a little too much, and touched the third lady's hand: "You just follow me, it doesn't matter if they go or not!" ”
The third lady's face turned crimson, and she "broken" the third master, shook off her hand and shouted to the little master: "Go, call the two young masters, I have something to say." ”
The little guy galloped away.
The third master hugged the third lady from behind: "Let's go, let's go back to the inner room!" ”
The hot breath sprayed on her neck, and the third lady's body was slightly weak.
The third master laughed proudly, and carried the third lady into the inner room...... After more than half an hour, I called the little maid to fetch water and go in to serve.
"Is the eldest young master here?"
The third lady's face was like rouge.
The little maid lowered her head: "Not yet!" ”
The third lady was stunned, and sent the little maid to find it.
After a while, the little maid came back and forth: "Say that the eldest young master is not in the house." I searched everywhere but couldn't find it. ”
The third lady was frightened into a cold sweat: "Look for it again, send a few more people to find it." ”
She suddenly remembered that Xu Siqin hadn't come to greet her for the past two nights.
The red brush turned pale all at once.

Futian is back with a new book!
"The crown is full of Jinghua". Hee-hee......
Just look at the title of the book. It is a story about being reborn in the Houmen of Jinghua, an orphan girl and a weak brother, and a parasitic fence. The big writing is there, and the sisters have time to take a look!
PS: There is also a question about adding essence. Because it's often not online. So if you have kung fu, go back. Don't get me wrong. There is no guiding advice or anything like that. There is an essence, also because everyone has given recommendations. Take it from the sisters, use it for the sisters. I usually use it whenever I have it.
