Chapter 27: Reunion II
Xinglin smiled: "Settle accounts with Hang's mother in the house!" I'll lead you there. ”
Eleven Niang hesitated: "Since that's the case, then I won't go." As he spoke, he asked Holly to hand the burden in his hand to Xinglin, "This is a shirt I made for my uncle, a skirt for my grandmother, and a small jacket for my brother, please give it to my grandmother." Then he asked Holly to bring her a box, "These are a few purses I made in my spare time, and the girl took them and distributed them to a few sisters, which is a little bit of my heart." ”
Although Miss Eleven's embroidery is good, it is not that no one can compare with her except her. But Miss Eleven often creates some new looks, but others can't compare, even Master Jane, and often praises Miss Eleven for her intelligence...... Since it was something that was specially delivered, it must have taken effort. If the apricot forest is not opened, I know that these purses will definitely make people's eyes shine. She happily squatted down and blessed Eleven Niang: "Let Miss Eleven bother." Then he took the burden and said with a smile: "Among the young ladies, your hands are the most skillful." Last time, I bothered you to embroider a cloak for our grandmother, and our grandmother is still chattering to this day, saying that your plum blossom embroidery is the same as the real one, and when you come to Yanjing to visit relatives, everyone asks whose craftsmanship it is, so that she has a limelight. This time, you made clothes for your uncle, grandmother and brother, and grandma didn't know how happy she was when she found out! If you knew that you didn't even enter the door when you sent something, then you would blame Xinglin for not knowing the rules, and Miss Eleven would go in for a cup of tea anyway. ”
Eleven Niang insisted on refusing: "It's not too late for me to come to see the eldest grandmother later." ”
Xinglin saw that he couldn't keep it, so he sent Eleven Niang out of the door, and turned around and went to the eldest grandmother.
The eldest grandmother was looking at the account book and reporting the numbers, and Hang's mother was counting with her fingers.
Xinglin didn't dare to disturb, and when Hang's mother stopped and reported a number, the eldest grandmother took notes in the account book, and then she smiled and stepped forward to salute the eldest grandmother: "Grandma, Miss Eleven came just now, saying that she made a dress for the uncle, you, and Brother Xu." As he spoke, he took the burden up, "Miss Eleven heard that you and Mother Hang were settling accounts, and insisted on leaving, saying that she would come to see you another day." ”
The eldest grandmother looked at Xinglin seriously after hearing this: "Why didn't you keep her?" ”
The apricot forest was slightly stunned.
The eldest grandmother said, "Leave your baggage and go outside and settle the accounts with the women." ”
"Yes." Xinglin's expression was slightly awe-inspiring, and he bowed and retreated.
Hang's mother smiled and said: "Xinglin is young, grandma will teach it slowly!" ”
The eldest grandmother shook her head: "She is eighteen years old this year...... I wanted my uncle to take her, and I also have a helper. Who knows......" she sighed, "she's not big, but she's big." Even the young lady of the Luo family dares to treat her like this, but I am afraid that it will not be a trouble-free thing in the future. ”
"Whether she's alive or dead is not your word." Hang's mother smiled, "Besides, our uncle has never touched the people around him, and he didn't think much when Taolin was there, let alone Xinglin's posture and style." ”
Taolin is the maid who provoked the eldest lord at the beginning......
Hearing Hang's mother mention her name, the eldest grandmother couldn't help but sink her face: "It's really a shame for our Gu family, so I can't hold my head up in front of my uncle!" ”
Hang's mother looked around, and saw that there was no movement, so she lowered her voice and said, "Grandma, don't worry, Mrs. will deal with it early." Custody makes people unaware. ”
The wife in her mouth is the mother of the grandmother.
The eldest grandmother's face did not improve because of Hang's mother's words, but she untied the burden sent by Eleven Niang with some irritation: "Don't talk about these messy things...... Look at what Eleven Niang has done for us? ”
The uncle's shirt has fine needle angles, a cluster of orchids on the grandmother's skirt is lifelike, and the deer embroidered on Brother Xu's cloak is vivid......
Hang's mother couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity that I didn't hold myself in the belly of the eldest lady!" ”
"Who's to say it's not." The eldest grandmother also looked pity, "It's all fate." ”
The two of them thought of Luo Yuanniang at the same time.
For a moment, there was silence.
After a while, the eldest grandmother cheered up: "By the way, the Tuyi for the second and third masters have been sent?" ”
Hang's mother hurriedly said: "I have already sent it according to Xu's mother's instructions." I'm afraid that this time has come. ”
The eldest grandmother nodded, and talked to Hang's mother about the accounts just now.

Lunch that day was an hour earlier than usual, and after eating, the eldest lady asked them to take a nap: "...... Don't let the people of the Xu family see that Mrs. Madame's sisters are like frosted eggplants! You have dressed up and come to my house at the beginning of the year. ”
Wu Niang and Eleven Niang naturally did not dare to disobey, so they each went back to the house to rest for a while, put on their faces, bathe, comb their hair and change their clothes. The eldest lady and Xu's mother sorted out all kinds of human favors and local things brought from Yuhang, and prepared to wait for the Xu family to be rewarded.
At the beginning of the year, everyone met in the big wife's house.
Wu Niang is a white silk jacket inside, a white threaded skirt below, a rose red woven gold twig pattern on the outside, a black hair tied up a child, inserted a silk red gold hairpin blown by the immortals, and a pendant of purple stone fell on the ear. It looks beautiful and dignified.
The eldest lady frowned and said, "Go, change that skirt to goose yellow." ”
Wu Niang's face turned crimson and went to change her skirt.
The eldest lady's eyes fell on Eleven Niang.
Inside, there is a pale green silk jacket, a bean-green skirt underneath, a goose-yellow clean face and four happiness pattern makeup gowns, combed double snails, and wore a few beaded flowers. Although the clothes are elegant, they are a little dull.
The eldest lady couldn't help but hold her forehead: "What's the matter today, one or two don't make people worry." ”
"Maybe it's because I'm too nervous." Mother Xu thought that she had gone to see everyone's clothes, and explained with a smile.
The eldest lady sighed and instructed Eleven Niang: "Wear a pink silk jacket, lotus lotus gown, and a white threaded skirt." The hair is also scattered, so I will put a few beaded flowers in it...... Just go! ”
Eleven Niang couldn't, so she had to rush back to the house and change her clothes according to the eldest lady's wishes.
When she returned to the house, Wu Niang had already changed her clothes.
The rose-red gown is paired with a goose-yellow skirt, and there is a hint of brightness in the dignity. And she, with a pink silk jacket and a lotus-colored gown, has a hint of elegance in her delicateness.
Eleven Niang suddenly found that she couldn't find a chance in the Luo family.
Her hand clenched into a fist.
There must be something else......

The carriage slowly galloped out of Baodafang Gongxian Hutong, turned left, and arrived at Bao Street, and turned right out of Bao Street, and went to Dongzheng Street. Then go west along Dongzheng Street, pass the Zheng'an Gate and the Royal Garden Taichi Garden, and then walk up to a pillar of incense to the lotus where the Yongping Marquis Mansion is located.
This lotus was originally called Lotus Slope, which is a small lake belonging to Taichi. When Emperor Taizong repaired Taichi Garden, he thought that its location was a little off, so he was asked by the chief prince of Ningguo to go and enclose the lake to build a courtyard. Later, the eldest princess committed suicide by taking poison after participating in the "King Zheng An's rebellion case", and her family assets were confiscated, and this courtyard was taken back by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Later, the Xu family restored the title, and the Xu family's original mansion in Shishi Hutong had already been rewarded to his uncle by Emperor Xiaozong, and Emperor Yingzong gave this annex to the Xu family of the eldest princess of Ningguo.
"Doesn't the eldest sister's family live in the royal courtyard?" Listening to the eldest lady talk about the lotus flowers they were about to go, Wu Niang's eyes were full of excitement.
"Not exactly." The eldest lady paused, "There were many meritorious families of Chen Zhaoxue because of the 'Zheng An Wang Rebellion Case', and the Xu family took the initiative to separate the mansion of the eldest princess with the Zheng family of Dingguo Gong and the Hou Lin family of Weibei. Otherwise, how could 'Lotus Slope' be called 'Lotus Lane'? ”
Hearing that the Xu family was crammed into a separate courtyard with others, Wu Niang was slightly stunned.
The eldest lady saw her disapproval, and was a little unhappy in her heart, and said: "Although the Zheng family got the main house of the other courtyard, and the Lin family and the Xu family divided the garden of the other courtyard, Emperor Yingzong remembered that the Xu family's mansion was no smaller than the eldest princess's courtyard, and only gave one-third of the garden to the Lin family, and the Xu family got two-thirds. The courtyard was built by the eldest princess for her later years of recuperation, and the garden was covered with mountains and vines, which was very elegant. If you want to talk about the size of the mansion, the Xu family is nothing among the ministers in Yanjing, but when it comes to scenery, it is also one of the best. ”
Wu Niang knew that she was out of shape, and said with a smile: "I was just wondering, can my mother ask my eldest sister to send someone to take me shopping...... I've never been to such a prestigious place since I've grown up, and I want to open my eyes. ”
The eldest lady's face was slightly gloomy: "We still have to stay in Yanjing for a while, and there will be opportunities in the future." ”
As soon as her words fell, someone said through the curtain of the carriage: "Mrs. in-laws, we are passing by Taichi Garden!" Would you like to take a look? It was a rough envoy sent by the Xu family to follow the car.
Wu Niang smiled when she heard this, but was glared at fiercely by the eldest lady, and then unhurriedly said to the woman through the curtain: "No need." Looking over from Dongzheng Street, I can only see a few big trees hugging each other. If it's summer, you can take a look, but it's freezing this day, I think it's better to be free! ”
The woman laughed twice and stopped making a sound.
The eldest lady whispered to Wu Niang and Eleven Niang: "When you arrive at Xu's house, don't look around, don't hang your head with your chest, don't panic." Say when it's time to speak, and remember to smile when you shouldn't. Reward the things and take it generously, don't push and shove a little family, take out the dim sum and taste it directly, don't cower like a ...... who has never seen the world" She said a lot in a wordy voice, which made Wu Niang nervous, and when Eleven Niang saw it, she naturally had to show a nervous look. The eldest lady stopped: "In short, the Xu family is noble, don't lose face to the Luo family." ”
The two of them hurriedly and respectfully answered "yes".
The eldest lady raised her hand and brushed her sideburns, and then pulled the placket of her clothes, which was already very smooth.
Eleven Niang was stunned.
The carriage had stopped, and someone outside whispered something, and after a while the noise died down, and then the carriage jolted as if it had run over something, and moved again.
Inside the carriage, everyone did not speak, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.
Fortunately, the carriage came to a stop again after less than a cup of tea.
The curtain of the car was opened, and Mother Tao's smiling round face appeared in front of them: "Big lady, we have arrived!" ”
