Chapter 179: The Gathering (Part II)
Although Hou Ye didn't dare to say that he swept the 180,000 Royal Forest Army with a silver spear back then, he rarely encountered opponents......
Eleven Niang felt as if there was sweat flowing out of her sideburns.
When did this happen?
How come I've never heard of it? Not to mention seeing Xu Lingyi wielding a knife and a gun......
After thinking about it, I heard the eldest master ask: "Master Hou wants to resign, what does Mrs. Tai say?" The tone was very hesitant.
Mrs. Tai was naturally in favor.
But Eleven Niang's impression of this father is only amiable, suave, and pity, and the rest can be said to be not understood at all. And how can you be blunt?
She said vaguely, "Mrs. Tai didn't say anything. It's business as usual at home. ”
The old man was slightly stunned: "Everything is as usual at home?" ”
Eleven Niang nodded: "I'm just worried about Master Hou's body, so I often called me to inquire." ”
The old man's brows furrowed even tighter, and he paced around the room with his hands behind his back.
Luo Zhenxing saw it and said in a low voice: "Dad, the eleventh sister is back as a guest......
When the eldest lord heard this, he sighed: "Yes." She's a woman's family and knows something. I'm too worried. Several imperial histories asked the emperor to grant amnesty to the world on Wanshou Day, and the emperor not only agreed, but also pardoned horse thieves such as Yu Zhongting in the north and pirates such as Wang Jiubao in the south...... It's really worrying! ”
Luo Zhenxing glanced at the eleventh mother, signaling that she could retreat, and comforted the eldest master: "Dad, now that the four seas are leveling, he is a little Wang Jiubao, what kind of movement can he make." What's more, there is also the Marquis of Jinghai......"
"That's why I'm worried!" The eldest lord's expression was bitter, "The Ou family and the Wang family are officials and thieves, and they have fought for several generations. Those people in the court don't understand, I have been in Fujian, and I feel the deepest. If the people of the Wang family were really allowed to go ashore, wouldn't it be a joke that the district family's exploits in suppressing bandits for so many years and their efforts to protect the great Zhou Jiangshan were not a joke? What I'm most worried about is that the people of the district family are cold and picky, so the south will be really messy. The people are going to be displaced again...... It's a pity that I have no official position now, and I can't play the emperor...... I can only ask for help from Master Hou......" In the end, I was stunned.
Eleven Niang really didn't know what to say.
The eldest lord actually asked Xu Lingyi to solve the game he had laid out by himself......
She was more worried that the eldest master would mess around.
Since the great masters can see the danger, can't the scholars of the cabinet see it clearly? Can't the emperor see clearly? In the final analysis, if this thing can be done, whether Xu Lingyi's strategy has worked or has hit the emperor's heart, no one can say now. If you bump into something like the old man who doesn't know anything, you might be unlucky when the time comes.
It seems that Xu Lingyi can't come if he doesn't come here.
At the very least, we have to convince the eldest master not to cause any trouble!
Thinking of this, she said in a low voice: "Master, speaking of which, Master Hou is slightly ill. Big brother should also go and see it! ”
The eldest lord couldn't help but be a little surprised: "I thought it was just a rumor...... I didn't expect to be really sick! Then he instructed Luo Zhenxing, "You will go and see it tomorrow!" ”
Luo Zhenxing bowed down and responded "yes", and Eleven Niang took the opportunity to leave.
When I went out, I saw the sixth aunt coming over with a tea cup.
"Aunt Eleven," she greeted Eleven Niang with a smile, and then lowered her voice and said, "The eldest lady said that the eldest lady is sick now, and the family affairs are all in charge of the eldest grandmother." As for the matter in our house, let me and my fifth aunt help pick it up. I thought, I came in late, how can I compare with the fifth aunt, naturally everything has to be listened to by the fifth aunt. Who knows, the fifth aunt said that she now believes in the Buddha, and she has to chant and copy the scriptures every day, and she has to be a vegetarian on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, so I will help take care of it. I thought, okay. Then I will help manage this trivial matter, and if there is any major matter, I naturally have to discuss the fifth aunt. In this way, it will not disturb the fifth aunt from the mundane affairs of the family......"
No wonder the sixth aunt is so active today - the big * milk is in charge, no matter what, she can't manage it in the public house!
As for saying that she is in charge of trivial matters, and then discuss the fifth aunt when there is a big matter, the eleventh aunt can't help but be a little funny. The big * grandmother presides over the feed, and it is the sixth aunt's turn to decide what major events in the family. Still, it's fine. It's not a serious wife, it's the eldest lord who has given the authority, and the decent stewards below will not give face or not. The fifth aunt thought like this, and the eleventh aunt was relieved.
She smiled: "Those who can work harder." The fifth aunt is a soft character. If there is anything in the future, please take care of the sixth aunt. ”
"Aunt Five and I have always been like sisters," Aunt Six smiled happily as if she had received some promise from Eleventh Niang, "Naturally, there will be a good life." As he spoke, he looked at Eleven Niang with a smile, "Like last night, the eldest lord rested in the fifth aunt's house, and I served in the eldest lady's house." The eldest lady asked for tea and water, but I didn't trouble the fifth aunt and the eldest lord at all. As he spoke, he said crisply through the curtain: "Master, the concubine is holding the cui, and I have brought tea to you and the uncle!" ”
"Come in!" From behind the curtain came the voice of the old man who was a little careless.
The sixth aunt smiled at Eleven Niang, and lifted the curtain into the study.
The eldest man rested in the fifth aunt's house...... The eldest lady wants tea and water...... A concubine who can be favored for ten years under the nose of his eldest wife, Eleven Niang does not dare to underestimate her, let alone take her words lightly.
She looked at the swaying curtains, and her heart was secretly vigilant.
As long as he can gain a firm foothold in the Xu family, the people of the Luo family will not be too embarrassed by the fifth aunt. The sixth aunt is different, the twelfth aunt is still a seed in the wind, and I don't know where it falls. And the uncle, regardless of age or seniority, is already unstoppable. There is a big * milk there, with the cleverness of the sixth aunt, why should she be this bird?
Eleven Niang was worried. She was afraid that the sixth aunt would have some ideas, and the fifth aunt would be used as a gunman.
As soon as I walked under the eaves of the main house, the big * milk came out of the curtain and touched the eleventh mother.
Big * Milk smiled: "Preparing to look for you?" What is Daddy looking for you? ”
Shi Niang said succinctly: "It's nothing, just ask Hou Ye why he resigned?" ”
The eldest * grandmother's expression changed slightly when she heard this, and she pulled her to the ear room on the side: "Why did Master Hou resign?" She said worriedly, "I heard Qian Ming say that people outside are spreading that it is the Hou Ye's high merit, so ......" said while looking at her expression.
There are such rumors!
If it is spread to the emperor's ears by someone with a heart, I am afraid that there will be troubles again!
Eleven Niang sneered: "Who is talking nonsense here!" Hou Ye really has foot paralysis. I now burn his feet every day. ”
The eldest grandmother breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and said: "Those students who are not the children of the country are the ones who like to talk about national affairs the most. ”
I have to talk to Xu Lingyi about this matter.
Eleven Niang kept it in mind. I was about to go back to the house with my grandmother's hand, but my grandmother suddenly said, "Mrs. Wang invited me to ...... two days ago."
She was shocked when she heard this, and thought that neither of them came today: "Something happened to Shi Niang?" ”
The big * milk nodded: "Jin Mei is pregnant, and Shi Niang hid people in the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Wang's capital." Aunt Shi drank wine and asked Jin Mei and Yin Bottle to accompany her, but she couldn't find Jin Mei and asked Shi Niang to ...... with Silver Bottle Shi Niang didn't obey, so he said that Shi Niang was jealous and put Shi Niang ...... Hit again...... Mrs. Wang went to stop her, but her left eye was swept by the fist wind of the tenth aunt, and she was so swollen that she couldn't see anyone......"
Eleven Niang only felt a chill all over her body.
"Then what are you hiding Jin Mei for? He can do whatever he wants. Anyway, it is the heir of their Wang family, and it is also their Wang family ...... to cut off children and grandchildren," she said, and she trembled with anger, "What did Mrs. Wang invite you to do?" Speaking of which, no matter how good a daughter-in-law is, she is no better than her son. It must be for you to persuade Shi Niang to settle things! ”
The big * milk didn't make a sound, which was a tacit acquiescence to this matter.
"What is Shi Niang's attitude?" Although Eleven Niang was asking, her heart was like a mirror.
If Shi Niang wanted to make trouble, the big * grandmother wouldn't have to pull her here to talk, and the three brothers Luo Zhenxing, Luo Zhenda and Luo Zhensheng would have already gone to the Wang family.
"She can't tolerate it like this." Eleven Niang was furious, "It's better to take this opportunity to talk to the elders of the Wang family." Make a condition to move out and pass alone. Anyway, Jin Mei is also pregnant, and if she gives birth to an heir and raises it in her name, she will have something to rely on for the rest of her life. Thinking of Shi Niang's stubborn personality, he asked worriedly: "What's wrong with her?" ”
"What else?" The big * grandmother was very helpless, "When I went to see her, the people of the Wang family were always with me, and I just wanted to give her an idea and didn't have a chance to say it." ”
"Then you can't let the people of the Wang family bully her like this." Eleven Niang was slightly stunned, "She is only sixteen years old this year, what can she understand!" ”
The big * grandmother thought of Hang's mother coming back and saying the words of Eleven Niang: "...... I came early in the morning, and I was very sure. ”
She couldn't help but smile and said, "That's why I asked my aunt and grandmother to discuss." Let's see what to do about it. I haven't told your eldest brother yet, I'm afraid your eldest brother will be in a hurry. ”
Eleven Niang has always been calm when she does things.
"Can you find a way to get someone to send her a message? It mainly depends on what she means. If she doesn't agree with our approach, even if we help her win it, maybe she thinks we're ruining her relationship with the Wang family. ”
She's seen this kind of thing a lot.
The big * grandmother nodded: "What my aunt said makes sense." I'll find a way to get someone to bring a letter to Shi Niang - we can help her for a while, but we can't help her for a lifetime. She had to take the idea herself. ”
Eleven Niang nodded.
I don't want to talk about this nonsense. Asked Wu Niang: "...... What is her business like? I didn't see her talk about it when I met me. ”
With Wu Niang's character, if the business is doing well, she will definitely exaggerate tenfold.
"I put the shop on the table two days ago." The big * grandmother was very regretful, "I advised her to keep it for a few more days, but she didn't listen." said that he had lost more than 500 taels of silver, and he had to sell it out. It happened that Lu Yonggui came to pay the account, so he helped her find an owner. Or for the sake of the face of your Yongping Marquis Mansion, you have three hundred taels of silver. ”
Shi Niang couldn't help but shake her head when she heard this.
Wu Niang is too eager, I'm afraid it's not a good sign.
She asked the eldest lady, "...... Why did the illness suddenly worsen again? ”
