In the name of Mr. White?

As the saying goes, "the prime minister's door is seven officials", and Mr. Bai is the head of the Xu family. Even if the feudal officials see it, they have to give a few faces. Will it be overkill?

Shi Niang wanted to excuse herself, but when she thought of Xu Lingyi's face just now, her words changed again: "With Manager Bai coming forward, it is naturally twice the result with half the effort." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Mr. Bai asked to see her.

Xu Lingyi let him in, the little maid put a small pestle at the door, and Manager Bai half sat on the pestle. Xu Lingyi told the reason why he was called, but he didn't mention the money.

Eleven Niang breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't want her dowry to be confused with the property of the Hou Mansion, lest it be rumored that the wedding shop was given to her by Xu Lingyi.

And Manager Bai knew what he meant, although a surprised expression flashed from his face that could not be concealed, he quickly showed a sincere smile: "This is the Hou Ye and Mrs. can afford me." Madame's shop must come down, and I will go to say hello to the people of Shuntian Yin Mansion and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses. Make sure no one is messing around. ”

Xu Lingyi nodded, and Manager Bai retreated.

Qiao Lianfang came.

"The weather has been dry for the past two days, so I made some horseshoe pear soup for my wife to clear the fire." As she spoke, she turned around and brought a sweet white porcelain stew pot from the plum blossom red lacquer painted gold tray held by the embroidered whirlpool and held it in front of Shi Niang, "This is the first time I have done it, and I don't know if it suits Madame's taste?" Then he tiptoed up the lid of the stew pot and stirred it gently with a silver apricot blossom spoon, "Madame, will you taste it?" ”

Eleven Niang looked at her earnest gaze and was speechless for a long time.

Why did Qiao Lianfang suddenly become so attentive?

She glanced at Xu Lingyi, who was sitting opposite her, and found a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"I just drank a few cups of tea at Master Jian's place, and I drank a cup with Master Hou," Eleven Niang called Amber with a smile, "Receive it from the kitchen first, and bring it to me later later." ”

Amber answered.

Qiao Lianfang sat there and chatted with Eleven Niang.

"Madame's female celebrity is so good, and she also takes out effort every day to follow Master Jian to learn female popularity. Madame, if you don't dislike me for being stupid, take me with you when you go? I can also take the opportunity to learn from Master Jian to learn from female popularity. ”

"Let's get over a few days!" Eleven Niang smiled, "Master Jian may be a little busy these days. ”

And it will be busier in the future, I guess I don't have time to teach you!

She sneered in her heart.

Qiao Lianfang showed a look of disappointment: "I don't know when I will be able to get Master Jian's guidance." I'm going to make a little dress for Mrs. Neng! ”

Eleven Niang listened and sweated: "Master Jian won't leave for a while, and I'll talk about it when I have a chance in the future." ”

As she was talking, Aunt Qin came over.

She saw a hint of surprise flash across Qiao Lianfang's face. Then he quickly lowered his eyelids, respectfully saluted Shi Niang and Xu Lingyi, took a burden from the maid Cui'er and handed it to Lu Yun who was standing behind Shi Niang: "These are the six pairs of shoes I have made for my wife these days, and a comprehensive skirt." "The eyebrows are low, the voice is like a gnat, and it looks very humble.

"Thank you, Aunt Qin!" Eleven Niang motioned to the little maid to bring her a brocade pestle.

She thanked her and carefully sat down on the brocade.

Aunt Wen is here.

She was stunned for a moment when she saw the room full of people, and only after a moment did she say, "Madame, it's really lively here today!" ”

Seeing that the maid behind Aunt Wen was holding a hand stove made of Hunan Concubine bamboo, Eleven Niang directly asked her to sit with a brocade pestle, and said, "Why did you hold a hand stove?" ”

Aunt Wen hurriedly put the hand stove on the kang table and said with a smile: "What do you think of the workmanship?" ”

It is oval, but the sea bowl is large, varnished, and the purple spots are clearly visible, small and delicate, and very cute.

"Not bad!" Eleven Niang looked at her puzzled.

The outer courtyard is responsible for purchasing hand stoves and the like, and the inner courtyard only needs to report the required quantity. The outer courtyard will be replenished according to the number of hand stoves before and after the beginning of winter.

"This is a new style from Lee Kee this year." Aunt Wen smiled, "I want to buy a pair for the eldest lady, but I'm afraid that my uncle will be shabby by then, so I'll show it to you, please give me an idea." ”

"Anyway, there are several hand stoves. You can help her with a few of all sorts. Eleven Niang smiled, "Zhu is a gentleman, maybe my aunt still thinks it is elegant." ”

"With Madame's words, I'm at ease." Aunt Wen listened with a smile on her face, "Let me buy five!" Then let Li Ji's carving 'Fulu Shouxi Gui'! ”

Aunt Wen never forgets the auspicious words!

Eleven Niang forced a smile and said, "I think it's very good......

It's just that before she finished her words, someone in the room already laughed.

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw Qiao Lianfang covering her mouth with a flushed face.

"I, I'm ......" Seeing everyone's gaze, her face was crimson, and she looked at Xu Lingyi at a loss.

saw Xu Lingyi looking at the hand stove of the Xiangfei bamboo.

"This is Li Ji's new appearance this year?" He looked up at Eleven Niang, "Let's order a few too, right?" "I didn't pay much attention to the other people.

Eleven Niang should be.

Xu Lingyi had already said to Aunt Wen: "What are the words carved on good bamboo." That's it. ”

Aunt Wen saw that although his words were displeased, his tone was quite peaceful, and he was making a decision about Sister Zhen's dowry, she immediately responded with a smile and said "yes", and left the hand stove at Eleven Niang: "This lady can keep it!" Since Master Hou said that we also want to buy a batch in the house, this should be given to us to try whether it will be good or not! ”

Anyway, it's the money in the public, and the discount is not paid, but the person who orders something can get one for nothing.

It is not a loss to do business, and the usual tricks of businessmen have been figured out.

Eleven Niang couldn't help laughing.

Xu Lingyi instructed Eleven Niang: "When the time comes, remember to count the money for this hand stove to Li Ji." ”

Aunt Wen's smile froze on her face, and the air in the room stagnated.

Hitting people doesn't slap their faces, Xu Lingyi really doesn't give Aunt Wen any face.

Eleven Niang sighed in her heart and said, "I know that Master Hou doesn't want to compete with the people. It's just that we want to order something for Sister Zhen in Li Ji, so Li Ji knows that we have to send one. We never said yes. And they sent it with sincerity. Therefore, Aunt Wen pushed the boat down the river to round their friendship. But since Master Hou said it, we will settle this money with Li Ji at that time. ”

Only then did Aunt Wen come back to her senses and said with a forced smile: "Yes, Master Hou." We'll settle the money with Li Ji at that time. His eyes glanced at Eleven Niang with a few gratitudes.

Xu Lingyi bowed slightly.

Shi Niang smiled and instructed Lu Yun: "You and your aunt go and see how many hand stoves we want to order, and then we can talk to the steward of the outer courtyard." ”

"Just buy a few for my mother, you, and my five brothers and sisters." Xu Lingyi said lightly, "It's okay to play with this kind of hand stove in your hand, if you want to keep warm, it's better to keep warm." ”

Aunt Qin, who had been sitting silently next to her like an invisible person, raised her head suddenly, glanced at Eleven Niang with a panicked face, and quickly lowered her head.

No one in the room noticed her strangeness.

Eleven Niang was puzzled by Xu Lingyi repeatedly.

What's wrong today, first refuted Aunt Wen, and then refuted herself......

But she smiled and said yes.

Xu Lingyi stood up: "I still have something to do, go out." ”

Shi Niang and the others listened to the bow and sent him out.

Xu Lingyi went to the small study behind the outer study, sent the servants in the house, took out a rosewood box from the Duobaoge dark grid, and took out ten silver tickets.

A pair of eyes flashed like morning stars suddenly appeared in my mind.

What Li Ji has to send something, what kind of smooth water pushes the boat to round their friendship. It's just talking nonsense with your eyes open!

But he didn't know why, as soon as he thought of her opening up her mouth seriously, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved into a pleasant arc.

Xu Lingyi drew ten more silver tickets, then put the box back, found a purse and put the silver tickets away, smoked a book casually, and lay on the drunkard's chair to read the book.

Reading a book on a drunkard's chair will dazzle your eyes...... It's clearly thinking about the mind.

Lin Bo, who came in to serve, saw it in his eyes, and smiled and gave Xu Lingyi a cup of red cannon.

Xu Lingyi sat up and drank tea.

Lin Bo thought for a while and laughed in a low voice: "Master Hou, does Madam want to open a shop?" ”

"Oh!" Xu Lingyi replied casually.

Seeing Xu Lingyi's gentle and casual expression, Lin Bo's heart moved slightly, and he laughed in a low voice: "Won't Master Hou help Madame?" When Mr. Qian Juren went to Xuantong, Mr. Fan came to ask you, and you also said that Mr. Qian Juren's family background is thin, as long as he doesn't want to do this business. Otherwise, how could Mr. Fan help the money raise people and redeem the white strips. Now Mrs. has opened a shop, and it is just a small wedding shop. Why don't you ...... Hou?"

"What nonsense!" Xu Lingyi's eyes shot over like sharp arrows, Linbo was terrified, and his whole body trembled, "Madame takes care of her own dowry, how can I interfere?" ”

Linbo's forehead was covered with sweat. He knelt down in front of Xu Lingyi with a "plop" sound: "Master Hou, I was confused for a while. Don't dare again! ”

Xu Lingyi's face was slightly pale: "Go down!" ”

Lin Bo retreated tremblingly.

Xu Lingyi took it and shook it on the drunkard's chair for a long time, looking at the fact that it was not early, and then slowly returned to the main courtyard.

Eleven Niang embroidered on the kang alone and didn't finish embroidering for more than half a year.

"Everyone's gone!" As he spoke, he sat down on the kang.

Eleven Niang put down the needle and thread and said with a smile: "Hou Ye is back!" Then let the little maid clean up the embroidery shelf, pour him water and pour tea, and when the children came to say goodbye, they went to Mrs. Tai's for dinner and came back, and when Eleven Niang went to freshen up, he stuffed the purse with the silver ticket under the pillow.

When he got up the next morning, he said lightly, "I put a purse under your pillow" and went to the outer courtyard.

Shi Niang opened the purse, and there were 20,000 taels of silver tickets inside.

She touched the sweat on her forehead, not knowing what to do for a while.

A little maid came in and said, "Liu Yuanrui's family is here." ”

Eleven Niang restrained her thoughts, got up and went to the west room. When it came to calling her, Liu Yuanrui's family was already overjoyed.

"Madam, our family is honest, let him help catch the car, right? When the time comes, you can also help with some rough work. As for the yard on the side of the Fallen Leaf Mountain, you can let our second boy, Sheng Chun, help watch it. He's also an honest kid, and he won't run around. ”

After the New Year, Jiang Bingzheng came to say goodbye to Eleven Niang. said that he wanted to go back to Yuhang to have a look, but in fact, because the silver given by Shi Niang was small, he was often told to do something. He calculated and decided to quit his errand on Eleven Niang's side and go to the silk shop to be the shopkeeper wholeheartedly.

Eleven Niang just didn't know. gave him twenty taels of silver, saying that it was Cheng Yi. Thinking that it was a little remote over there, he asked Liu Yuanrui to help look after the yard there.
