Chapter 403: News (I)
Since that's the case, things are much easier.
Taking advantage of Wenzhu to receive the New Year's reward, Eleven Niang left her to speak.
“…… You are older than the second young master, and you are a girl, so you are careful. There are some things I can only tell you. She sent those who served in the house, "The geese have left a voice, and the people have left a name." The second young master is in Le'an, there is Mr. Jiang above, and there are classmates and classmates below, you have to watch carefully, don't let the second young master go astray. Otherwise, the second young master's future would be completely over. Those of you who follow you are also faceless."
Wen Zhu's face turned purple when he heard this, and he immediately knelt in front of Eleven Niang: "Madam, I swear ......"
"I can trust you." Eleven Niang interrupted her words and took her hand, "That's why I quietly instructed you." Anything, as long as it is justified, it can be justified. You're smart and should know what I mean."
Wen Zhu's heart was in a state of confusion, he only knew that he nodded indiscriminately, and faced a cold wind, only then did he realize that he didn't know when he had left his wife's yard.
Seeing that Wenzhu was an understanding person, Eleven Niang breathed a sigh of relief and prepared for the Spring Festival wholeheartedly.
In the twenty-fourth month of the lunar month, the god of the stove was sacrificed, the couplet peach charm was changed, the dust was cleaned, and the lanterns were colored to welcome the New Year.
Eleven Niang caught Aunt Wen and asked her to help Amber distribute the red seals of each room.
Aunt Wen saw that Luyun had washed brown sugar water for Eleven Niang, sighed slightly, and went back to Qiuhong and said, "People are too strong to be strong." Look at Madame, everything is in the first place, but the heirs are difficult. In the end, you have to be a little weak-minded. ”
Amber was also secretly anxious.
In the Chinese New Year's Eve, she quietly promised the first and fifteenth days of the first lunar month.
Eleven Niang only felt a little tired.
First of all, I was preparing for the New Year, and I entered the palace early in the morning on the first day of the new year to pay New Year's greetings, and Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Lin of Yongchang Hou came over to play cards with Mrs. Tai, although she didn't have to stand aside to serve, but she couldn't hide in the house, and she had the opportunity to take a bath at night.
Xu Lingyi made people raise four or five braziers in one go.
"Do you want to be clean or do you want to die?"
Although the room is warm like spring, it is also stuffy.
Eleven Niang coughed and said with a smile: "Be clean"
Xu Lingyi had no choice, so she asked her to move the brazier out and change the thick quilt to sleep with her.
"It's good you don't have to go out these days." The Luo family is in Yuhang, and there is no need to go to relatives in the second and third years of junior high school. "You just rest at home. If my mother asked, she would say that she was a little uncomfortable. ”
Eleven Niang nodded, and soon fell asleep deeply.
In the second year of junior high school, Xu Lingyi went to Yu Yiqing and Qian Ming to sit alone, and in the third year of junior high school, he began to entertain people who came to pay New Year's greetings in the outer courtyard.
Eleven Niang was so happy that she was busy, and Xu Sizhen and Xu Sijie used silver frost charcoal to eat broad beans. In the fourth year of junior high school, he changed into a small jacket with red carved silk to entertain guests at home. You come and go, talk and laugh, and soon it's the Lantern Festival.
After watching the lanterns and receiving the red lanterns for the festival, Eleven Niang went to Zhongqinbo's mansion.
Mrs. Gan asked the little maid to take two jars of garlic.
"I used to be the best at this when I was a girl, but when the old uncle was alive, I thought it tasted good, and I haven't done it for some years. This year, I was idle and idle, and I made more than a dozen altars in one go. One altar for you, one altar for Master Jane. Taste my workmanship. ”
Eleven Niang smiled and let the green cloud be collected.
"The shop is ready to open on the eighteenth day of the first month." She discussed with Mrs. Gan, "Master Jian wants to recruit a few more skilled people to specialize in complements." ”
"You just have to make up your mind about these things." Mrs. Gan smiled, "When my eldest brother came during the Chinese New Year, he knew that we had made money, and his eyes were different from those of me. She smiled happily, "I don't know how proud I am." Two days ago, my sister-in-law came to me to discuss my niece's marriage, as if I had suddenly become capable. ”
Eleven Niang laughed.
Mrs. Gan asked Eleven Niang: "My niece, who is twelve years old this year, has good looks and conduct. You see if there is a suitable one, and also help to keep an eye on it. ”
Eleven Niang remembered Lin Da*'s grandmother: "There are many boys in the Shao family, but it's a pity that they are far away in Cangzhou." Thinking of Mrs. Zhou again, "The Wang family is also prosperous." ”
"You help me to inquire. My sister-in-law will take a closer look at it then. ”
The two gossiped for a long time, and Eleven Niang had lunch at Mrs. Gan's before coming back.
Who knew that Mrs. Zhou was already waiting in the house.
"I'm not good at home, and I don't have a place to go when I come out," she wore a royal blue makeup gown, and the big ruby earplugs on her ears shone brightly, reflecting a beaming face, "I'm afraid that people will ask me." ”
It doesn't look like there's anything sad about it.
Eleven Niang invited her to the inner room and whispered: "What's wrong?" ”
Mrs. Zhou pursed her lips and smiled.
Although there was no one in the house, she still lowered her voice: "The one in our family is delusional about buying off the mother next to her." I'll just let her approach the master at will. As a result, she was diagnosed with a happy pulse yesterday. As she spoke, the corners of her eyes fluttering, "Now the princess knows." You can't run away from the master's admonition. I was afraid that he would not be able to save face at that time, so I deliberately came out to avoid it. ”
Eleven Niang was a little surprised, but she didn't expect Mrs. Zhou's "early claim" to be such a thing.
"That kid ......," she muttered.
"What does it mean to look at the princess" Mrs. Zhou picked up the teacup indifferently and took a sip, "This Tieguanyin is delicious" She praised the tea first, and then said, "Go to the son and stay the mother, then she will never think about giving birth in the future" Mrs. Zhou's eyes flashed with a cold light. In ancient times, it was very dangerous for people to give birth, not to mention the forced termination of pregnancy, and there were more accidents. "Leave the son and go to the mother," a hint of mockery flashed at the corner of Mrs. Zhou's mouth, "I can cultivate whatever I want."
Eleven Niang sighed softly in her heart and changed the topic: "My hometown sent a few wild geese, my sister should stay for dinner."
"Okay," Mrs. Zhou was in a good mood and said with a smile, "Let's go and say hello to Mrs. Tai first, and then our sisters will have a good talk." ”
Eleven Niang smiled and accompanied her to Mrs. Tai's place to sit, and when she came back, she talked about Mrs. Gan's niece of the right age, and Mrs. Zhou promised to help pay attention. After dinner, Eleven Niang sent her to the Weeping Flower Gate and watched her carriage go away before returning to the house.
A few days later, there was news from the Zhou family.
Yang's miscarriage caused a blood collapse and died.
"Who are you listening to?" The Xu family's Yang family's face suddenly turned pale when she heard this, and she grabbed Yang's mother's ** hand tightly.
"Listen to what the little maid in Aunt Wen's house said." Mother Yang's eyes flashed with tears, "When the mother of the Zhou family came over, Aunt Wen was helping to settle the accounts in the lady's room. ”
"How so?" Yang looked at Mother Yang in a daze, muttering to herself, "How could someone as smart as Fifth Sister end up in such a fate......" She said, Qiao Lianfang's dull expression suddenly appeared in her mind, and Yang jumped up in a little panic, "Mom, Mom, what about my set of 100 baby frolic patterns, you can help me find out." I'm going to embroider a little jacket for my wife......"
Shi Niang stopped the needlework in her hand and yawned, and asked Xu Lingyi in a worried tone: "What did the third master say?" ”
"Talk about Brother Qin and Brother Jian." Xu Lingyi accepted the letter, and looked up to see the tiredness that Eleven Niang couldn't hide from her eyebrows, "There is no good gentleman in Shanyang, and the homework of the two children has been delayed in the past two years." I want to send my two children back to Yanjing to study. Then he touched her forehead, "What's wrong?" What's uncomfortable? The tone was gentle.
Shi Niang couldn't help but yawn again: "I don't know why, I've been feeling very tired since the Chinese New Year." ”
"Spring sleepiness, spring sleepiness," Xu Lingyi said with a smile, "In the spring, there will naturally be more sleep." He said softly, "If you have something to do with the maids, rest early."
Eleven Niang nodded, curled up in Xu Lingyi's arms, and soon fell asleep.
Xu Lingyi looked at her quiet face, couldn't help laughing, kissed her cheek, and then blew the lamp and stopped.
At noon the next day, Dr. Liu was coming.
"Master Hou said, Madame is a little bad, let me take a look."
Through the Luo tent, the size of Guan Pulse took a handkerchief to check the pulse, and Liu Yizheng smiled: "Madame's pulse is calm and powerful. Maybe spring is coming, and I'm sleepy. ”
Xu Lingyi put his mind at ease.
Eleven Niang took advantage of the good weather to ask the little maid to put out the test baskets, test curtains, and small pockets for food that Xu Si had left last year.
Xu Lingyi smiled when he saw it: "He won't take the exam until April, so it's a little early to pack these now." ”
"It's been a good few days." Seeing that he didn't think so, Eleven Niang said with a smile, "Besides, I brought these into the examination room last year, and I passed the county exam smoothly." So I specially took it, and I also used these this year to get rid of last year's blessings. ”
The husband and wife stood in the spring breeze and said a few words, and Xu Sizhen and Xu Sijie came.
The two of them respectfully saluted Xu Lingyi, and they got tired of Eleven Niang's side.
One said, "Sir said that the plan of the year lies in the spring." So tomorrow take us to climb the West Mountain, and then talk about what we plan to do this year. ”
One said, "Mother, let's go to the West Mountain to climb the mountain, and the gentleman said that he would bring food." You can make us a tsubaki cake."
Eleven Niang hugged the small one and said to the big one with a smile: "The two of you draw up the things you want to bring with a list, and I will help you prepare them according to your list." ”
The two entered the house cheering.
Eleven Niang was drunk by the spring breeze, covered her mouth and yawned.
Xu Lingyi looked at the slight movement in his heart.
It's already the beginning of February, and there is no movement on Eleven Niang......
Thinking together, people are like frying on a frying pan, but they can't move their voices.
Is the little day postponed? Still is......
"Let's go back to the house and rest," he couldn't help but hold her, "it's not a problem to sleep like this." ”
Eleven Niang smiled: "It's just past the beginning of the unitary year, how can I rest?"
Xu Lingyi thought for a while and said, "Why don't you go to my mother's place to sit down, and we won't go there for dinner later." You took an early break today? What he said was to discuss, but without waiting for Eleven Niang to respond, he called Amber to take care of Xu Sizhen and Xu Sijie, and raised his feet to Mrs. Tai.
Eleven Niang thought that he was also kind, followed Mrs. Tai to sit down, came back and ate, fell asleep until dawn, and then drank a bowl of millet porridge for the first time, ate two meat buns, and regained his spirits.
Xu Lingyi looked at it and sighed in her heart.
It seems that I guessed wrong......
