Eleven Niang hurriedly went to the main house.

Mother Du hasn't left yet: "I still entertain a few ladies and mothers over there, and Mrs. Tai means to let me send people over and turn back, but I think the fourth lady must have something to ask me, so I have the cheekiness to stay." ”

"What did mom say?" Eleven Niang invited Du's mother to the inner room to speak, "Mom, this is sympathetic to me, it's not easy for me to take a few children." I still know that. As he spoke, he sat down with Du's mother on the big kang near the window.

Qiu Yu served tea and lightly helped them cover their fans.

Mother Du leaned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Yesterday and today, the fifth young master was listening to the drama in Dianchun Hall. Especially today, while listening, I also beat along with the beat. Amused several ladies. Liang Ge's old wife even joked, how can this child not look like Hou Ye and look like the fifth master. ”

Eleven Niang's heart "chuckled".

Although the matter of that year was suppressed, Xu Sijie was raised by the Liu family until he was three years old before he was brought back. With Liu Huifang's person, there must be people in the Liu family's social circle who know or have heard of Xu Sijie's life experience. She prevented Xu Sijie from studying opera, because she didn't want him to have a deep friendship with people in the opera industry, so she knew the past - his biological mother died early, his biological father didn't recognize him, and his uncle used him as a bargaining chip to blackmail his biological father and was raised by his uncle...... Any one of them is sad, not to mention that so many things are all mixed together, and the damage to Xu Sijie is too great.

Sometimes, it's a blessing to not know.

She couldn't help but whisper, "What do the other ladies say?" ”

"Mrs. Huang, naturally it's hard to say anything. The old lady of Dou Ge asked the fifth young master, do you understand? And I asked if I knew what I could sing? The fifth young master nodded with a red face, and told the old lady Dou Ge what was sung on the stage. Dou Ge's old lady was amazed when she heard this, and praised the fifth young master for being smart. The fifth young master smiled shyly there, looking very good-looking. Mother Du said, letting out a long breath, "Chen Shilang's wife is very rare, called the fifth young master over, pushed the fifth young master's hand and asked, what books do you usually read, what do you do at home, do you often accompany your grandmother to listen to operas and the like." The fifth young master said that he had just finished reading "Kindergarten Learning" and was preparing to learn "Analects", and he usually practiced writing big characters, playing the flute, playing the piano, and making purple clay pots at home, and did not often accompany Mrs. Tai to listen to the opera. Chen Shilang's wife was even more surprised when she heard it, and asked him how he could understand what was singing on stage. The fifth young master said that he didn't know either, anyway, he would understand it as soon as he heard it. Chen Shilang's wife laughed when she heard this, and said to Mrs. Tai, your family is going to have a big family. I asked the fifth young master again if he could sing. The fifth young master learned two sentences from what he had just heard. ”

Speaking of this, Mother Du showed a bitter smile to Eleven Niang.

"Although I am a layman, I can also hear that although the fifth young master sings softer than the small Lianzhu on the stage, he has a round orthography and a beautiful tone, and he is more than a step higher than that Xiaolianzhu. Not to mention the ladies in the house, Xiao Lianzhu and the others, who were waiting outside the hall for rewards, were stunned. ”

Isn't that a big deal?

Eleven Niang also smiled bitterly: "So Mrs. Tai asked her mother to send someone over."

"Aren't the people in the Deyin class singing at night" Du's mother nodded, her voice was as high as a gnat, "That Liu Huifang is singing Geyang." And it's also the horn of the famous Yanjing. ”

That's even more evasive.

Eleven Niang nodded: "I know"

Mother Du breathed a sigh of relief: "Mrs. Tai also knows that the fourth lady is in trouble, but there are too many guests on her old man's side, so it is better to avoid it." After saying that, he stood up, "Then I'll go over first." If anything happens to the fourth lady, just send someone to give an order. ”

Eleven Niang smiled and nodded, and sent Du's mother to the door.

Things were trickier than she had imagined.

If you tell Xu Sijie the reason why Mrs. Tai sent him back, you have to tell him his life experience, and it is obviously unwise to do so at this time.

No one can not be sad and sad after knowing that they have such a background, and when this guest gathers, a carelessness may attract more short-term affairs, and it is unlikely that they will want to suppress this matter at that time. That blow to Xu Sijie was too great.

But if you don't tell him, you have to find some reasons.

A lie usually requires more lies to cover up.

Thinking of this, Eleven Niang felt a little irritable.

She walked around the wide hall for a long time, and when her emotions gradually calmed down, she asked Qiu Yu: "Where is the fifth young master?" ”

Although Qiu Yu didn't know what was going on, she was also a little worried when she saw Shi Niang's distress.

Pointing to the east, she said softly, "I placed the Fifth Young Master there."

Eleven Niang went to the east for a while.

Xu Sijie sat on the Taishi chair in front of the big desk by the window with his head down, his toes circled on the bluestone brick-paved ground.

Hearing the movement, he immediately raised his head, and his eyes flashed with a look of panic like that of a young beast.

"Mother" saw that it was Eleven Niang, his whole body relaxed, jumped off the Taishi chair and ran over, but stopped abruptly at a distance of five steps away from Eleven Niang.

"Mother," Xu Sijie looked at Eleven Niang with complicated eyes, "I, I, I ......"

"I" didn't say a word for a long time, and my face showed guilt.

was sent back like this by Du's mother, naturally she did something wrong. But what he did wrong, he probably didn't understand at all.

Eleven Niang looked a little sad, and stepped forward to hug Xu Si admonished: "It's not like this anymore in the future - I just care about myself going to the play, and I don't care what my younger brothers and sisters are doing?" ”

It was the best excuse she could find

Xu Sijie's face turned red: "I ......" showed a little timidity again, and asked hesitantly, "Grandmother, will you blame your mother?" ”

He thinks he did something wrong, and he is afraid that she will be implicated, so he feels so guilty?

Eleven Niang felt that her eyes were a little moist.

"Probably not," she said with a smile, "knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and it is very good." We won't be like this in the future, and grandmother will naturally not blame us."

Xu Sijie nodded again and again: "The eldest brother and they all went to greet their relatives, the second sister, the sixth brother, and the seventh brother are in the new house, and the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law are watching over there, as well as Hongwen, Ah Jin, Huang Xiaomao, Liu Erwu, and Mother Wu are serving on the side...... The second sister and the third sister-in-law are playing rope flipping, and the sixth brother and the seventh brother are playing in the yard to fight......" he said, lowering his head, "That's why I'm ......."

"Big brother, they are all out, you are the eldest one in the family, and you should take care of your younger brother and sister, how can you run to listen to the play alone because of this, and I don't blame my grandmother for being angry." Eleven Niang said softly, "Brother Jie'er has grown up and has moved to the outer courtyard to live, and he is no longer a child, so he has to take on the responsibility of being an elder brother." Waiting for the second sister-in-law's sedan chair to enter the door, to see the bride's, to ask for red envelopes, and to send relatives to the Xiang family...... I don't know how noisy it is. Where can I take care of your grandmother and five aunts? You have to help us take care of our younger brother and sister."

"I know," Xu Sijie laughed, "I'll stop listening to the play later, and look at the second sister, sixth brother and seventh brother." ”

Eleven Niang smiled and nodded. Said softly: "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Let's go, go eat with me."

Xu Sijie happily went to the small courtyard next to Dianchun Hall with Eleven Niang. After eating, we went to the new house together.

Brother Jin'er and Brother Xu'er set off fireworks there.

Seeing Eleven Niang, Brother Jin pounced over with the incense candle: "Mother, today's meatballs are delicious, and I will make meatballs tomorrow."

Brother Xu'er also pounced when he saw it: "Fourth aunt, I also want to eat meatballs." ”

Eleven Niang hurriedly grabbed the hands of the two little guys holding incense candles: "Be careful not to burn my heart, I don't have time to change my clothes today." ”

Brother Jin grinned and handed the incense candle to Huang Xiaomao, who was serving next to him. Brother Xu'er did the same, and also handed the incense candle to Huang Xiaomao.

A little maid came over and said, "Madam, Liu Ji has sent all the live fish and shrimp for tomorrow's banquet." Li's mother and Liu Ji weighed over, and asked Mrs. to stamp a stamp on the list. ”

Xu Sijie listened and hurriedly said: "Mother, go and get busy, I looked at the sixth and seventh brothers." ”

Eleven Niang responded with a smile, but still talked to her son, and then went to the small hall next to Dianchun Hall.

At the beginning of the year, the newcomer's sedan chair entered the door, kowtowed to Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang, and sent it into the new house, everyone gathered to see the bride, the Xu family opened the main seat, Xu Siyu came out to pay tribute to the incense, the young grandmother and others accompanied the bride to sit on the bed, the fifth lady accompanied Lin Da * Milk, Mrs. Zhou and a group of people played cards in the east wing room on Mrs. Tai's side, Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Huang and others listened to the play in Dianchun Hall, and Eleven Niang and the housekeeper mother discussed. The sound of Xufu drum music, cheers, playing cards, toasting, noisy voices, sheng songs, noisy laughter, firecrackers, endlessly, until the beginning of the next day, gradually stopped.

When Xu Lingyi returned to the house, she saw Eleven Niang and Yi lying on the bed. Hurriedly helped her cover the quilt, and leaned over and called her softly: "Eleven Niang, Eleven Niang, change your clothes and go to sleep again." ”

Eleven Niang sat up in a daze, and Xu Lingyi helped her take off her clothes and fall asleep again.

Xu Lingyi looked at it and shook her head, and called Qiu Yu in: "When did Madame go back to the house, why did she lie down with her clothes?" ”

Qiu Yu hurriedly said, "Madame just came back." said that they wanted to stay alone for a while, but the slaves and maids did not dare to come in. ”

Xu Lingyi went to see Brother Jin.

He and Brother Xu'er lay side by side on the big bed in the warm pavilion, sleeping soundly.

"The Seventh Young Master has to sleep with the Sixth Young Master," Brother Xu'er's nurse muttered to explain.

Xu Lingyi waved his hand and went back to the inner room.

Suddenly there was another person beside her, and Eleven Niang was hazy, turned around and hugged the person's waist, smelling a faint smell of wine.

"Drink less." She muttered, "It's not good to drink too much at night." Be careful with your body. ”

"Got it" Xu Lingyi responded disapprerovingly, watching her move around in her arms trying to find a comfortable position, and as soon as her heart moved, her hand reached into her clothes.

Eleven Niang woke up.

She shook Xu Lingyi's wrist: "My little day is coming" The tone was a little depressed, and the willow eyebrows frowned tightly.

Xu Lingyi was stunned.

I didn't get pregnant......

His hand landed on her back, caressing her comfortingly, and whispering in her ear against her face: "Looks like I'm going to keep trying" in a very narrow tone.

Eleven slapped him on the shoulder in disgust.
