Mrs. Zhou pulled Eleven Niang to Eleven Niang's banquet, looked at Grandma Huang San at a glance, pointed at her and smiled: "I said why don't I see you, I was hiding here." When they see me coming, they don't say hello. ”

Grandma Huang San had already stood up with a smile: "Aren't I waiting here - when my sister and the fourth lady finish talking, it will be my turn." As he spoke, he bent his knees away from the seat and blessed Mrs. Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly returned the gift.

Lin Da*'s grandmother also left the table to greet Mrs. Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou returned the salute and smiled and pulled Lin Da*'s hand: "I was still asking about Mingyuan's marriage just now, but I happened to meet you!" ”

Lin Da * smiled bitterly: "Yanjing has seen all the people with a little head and face, and Mingyuan is not satisfied." If Sister Zhou has that suitable, she will also help our family Mingyuan care and care. ”

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly said: "That's nature, that's nature." Out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but glance at Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart.

What is this?

Grandma Huang San saw it in her eyes, smiled and beckoned Mrs. Zhou to sit down, the maids served tea, Mrs. Tang ordered the dishes to be served, and immediately a maid dressed in red and green brought the dishes with a smile.

The Tang family still has some guests in the side hall, and the fourth grandmother of the Tang family left the third young grandmother Yang to serve here, and when the dishes are ready, she sued herself and went to the side hall. Mrs. Tang personally made the east, toasted and persuaded the dishes, and for a while, it was also very lively.

After eating, moved to the warm pavilion behind the flower hall to drink tea, Mrs. Tang asked whether she was playing cards or listening to books.

Everyone looked at Mrs. Tai, and Mrs. Tai leaned over and asked Miss Tang's aunts and aunts on the side, "...... Playing cards or listening to a play? ”

Mrs. Tang's mother's family is also a big family in Lintong, and her family has also been out of the prefect and participated in politics, but it is really far worse than everyone here. The aunt hurriedly said: "No restrictions, no restrictions!" ”

Mrs. Tai asked the people around her with a smile, and everyone said that they were not informal.

"Let's play cards, then!" Mrs. Tai smiled, "Now that I'm old, I'm afraid of noise!" ”

Mrs. Tang looked at the majority of the older people present, nodded with a smile, asked the maid to come in and set up a few card tables, took the Nanzhuqi card, Mrs. Zheng, Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Huang, Mrs. Lin a table, Mrs. Liang, Mrs. Qiao and an aunt of Miss Tang, an aunt a table, Mrs. Li sat on the left side of Mrs. Tai to look at the cards, Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Zhou sat together, plus Lin Da * Grandma and Miss Tang's other aunt, and made up another table.

Eleven Niang sat on the right side of Mrs. Huang, and Huang San's grandmother sat on the left side of Mrs. Huang, and the two of them were next to each other, discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the game from time to time. In this regard, Eleven Niang is not good, most of them are listening to Huang San's grandmother, and then I found that there are many tricks to playing mahjong, no less than an advanced math problem, and gradually heard some doors, and I am also quite interested. Grandma Huang San saw that Eleven Niang was not perfunctory to her, and said more energetically.

Mrs. Huang on the side thought she was nagging: "You go and open a table again." Frightened, Eleven Niang waved her hand again and again, "I won't, I won't!" ”

Grandma Huang San's face flushed, but she didn't dare to say anything more.

Youke's mother brought a woman in a blue-green makeup jacket over with her sleeves.

Eleven Niang fixed her eyes and saw that it was Jiang Bai's wife.

Because of the death of Yuan Niang, Brother Zhen wanted to keep filial piety, and the two families just passed Gengti. It's just that I don't know if this marriage is still discussed after the filial piety period.

She thought about it, and Mrs. Jiang had already smiled and bowed to Mrs. Tai: "I heard that you are here, come and say hello." ”

Mrs. Tai looked up at her and laughed: "When did you come?" Have you eaten? "The attitude is very affectionate.

Eleven Niang's heart moved slightly.

Thinking of the low-key attitude when I met Mrs. Jiang for the first time, and seeing that she took the initiative to come over to greet Mrs. Jiang, I must have hoped to marry the Xu family. And Mrs. Tai's intimacy with her must also have the meaning of discussing marriage after the filial piety period.

I heard Mrs. Jiang smile and say, "Just came." Because there are guests at home, I only go out after eating. ”

Mrs. Tai nodded and pointed to Eleven Niang: "Have you seen it?" My four daughters-in-law! ”

I saw it when Yuan Niang was a child, but it is not easy to say in detail at the moment.

The two smiled and saluted each other. Mrs. Jiang said vaguely, "I've met once", and then said, "Don't dare to disturb everyone's interest." Later, I will go to the side hall to meet a few sisters. I am relieved to see that you are in good health. I'll go first, and I'll come back to see you. ”

Mrs. Tai nodded, and Eleven Niangdai sent it to the door, and saw Sike's mother walking in with Shi Niang's mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang, the prince of Maoguo Mansion.

She hurriedly stepped forward to salute the princess.

Mrs. Wang was slightly surprised when she saw her: "Your mother-in-law brought you here?" ”

Eleven Niang smiled: "Her old man is playing cards in the warm pavilion!" He asked her again, "How is the tenth sister?" ”

Mrs. Wang nodded: "Very good." It was cold, so I didn't take her out. ”

Shi Niang probably won't like this kind of occasion either. Eleven Niang nodded, smiled and accompanied Mrs. Wang into the warm pavilion.

Everyone greeted her one after another, Mrs. Tai sat here and did not move, Mrs. Tang, Mrs. Liang and others got up to salute her.

Shi Niang had already returned to Mrs. Tai, so Mrs. Li asked her in a low voice, "Which lady is this?" ”

"The old lady of Grandpa Mao." She smiled, "My tenth sister will marry into their family." ”

Mrs. Li was taken aback when she heard this, and she stopped talking.

Eleven Niang looked at it and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

The old lady Wang had already come over, and after a while of greetings, Mrs. Wang made a special trip to thank Mrs. Wang: "...... I also sent a tonic to it. When she gets better, I'll let her go to the house in person to thank her! ”

"Old Madam Wang is too polite." Mrs. Tai smiled, "Anyway, she is also the sister of our family's eleventh mother, and I should go and see it!" "The attitude is very polite, and it can't help but give people a sense of alienation.

Eleven Niang remembered the post given by Mrs. Tai - the Wang family was not among them.

She thought it was strange at the time. Everyone is in the same circle, how can there be no contact...... I just don't know what happened to separate the two families. Or, has something to do with Wang Lang and Xu Lingkuan?

She thought about it, and Zheng Taijun on the side hurriedly asked what happened?

Mrs. Tai smiled and didn't make a sound, and Mrs. Wang told Shi Niang about the miscarriage.

Zheng Taijun couldn't help but sigh: "The children are not sensible, and most of the firstborn is damaged...... You don't have to be sad either. She's still young, so it's good to raise her for a few days. Thinking of the fifth lady again, "Danyang is okay?" ”

Mrs. Tai smiled: "Please ask Mrs. Jining to come and see Feng Shui." Moved to the back garden to live. I looked at the white and red cheeks, and the person was getting plump and plump, and I thought it was okay! ”

"That's good, that's good." Zheng Taijun nodded again and again, and said that the third daughter-in-law of the Ministry of Rites' family, Lord Lang Wei, gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus.

For a while, everyone was attracted by this topic, and they put Mrs. Wang aside.

Mrs. Tang looked around as she looked at it. Beside Mrs. Zhou, she found Yang who was looking at the cards, her brows quickly frowned, and then she stepped forward with a smile and took Mrs. Wang's hand: "Our old sister hasn't seen each other for some days." Is Mrs. Jiang okay? I heard that my uncle opened a warehouse last month to release grain and won the emperor's commendation? ”

When it came to her daughter and son-in-law, Mrs. Wang was full of smiles: "Uncle is a diligent character. Lin'er can be with him, it is really a blessing to cultivate in her previous life. The two of them said and sat down on the low couch of the plum blossom fence on the side.

The carriage slowly galloped out of the Zhongshan Hou family, and Mrs. Tai couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "It's really tiring! ”

Eleven Niang smiled and handed over a cup of hot tea: "You take a sip of tea." ”

Mrs. Tai took it and took a sip with a comfortable expression on her face.

"Squint for a moment!" Eleven Niang smiled and tucked the white fox coat on Mrs. Tai's lap, "There is still half a burnt incense when I get home." I'll call you then. ”

"Let's go home and sleep again!" Mrs. Tai smiled, "Now that I'm old, I can't wake up when I'm asleep, I can't sleep when I'm awake!" As he spoke, he asked Eleven Niang, "You officially appeared today." Tell me, what do you see? ”

Eleven Niang was stunned.

Thoughts were racing.

What does Mrs. Tai want to know?

Do you see the relationship between the provinces? Or is it the temperament of these people?

After hesitating, Mrs. Tai reminded her with a smile: "If Hou Ye asks you about going to the Hou family in Zhongshan, what will you tell Hou Ye?" ”

When I talk to men, I naturally mean politics, history, and economics......

Her heart moved, and she smiled: "Mrs. Tang entertained us in the main room." They are all people who often come and go from Dingguo Mansion Zheng Taijun, Yongchang Hou Mansion Mrs. Huang, Weibei Hou Mansion Mrs. Lin and others. Lunch was eaten in the small flower hall at the back of the main house. But there were two more people at dinner......"

Mrs. Tai's eyes flashed slightly as she listened.

Eleven Niang knew that she had guessed correctly.

The smile became more and more calm.

"One is the wife of the scholar of Huagai Temple and the secretary of the Criminal Department, and the other is the wife of Li Zhong, the chief soldier of Shanxi. I heard that the Marquis of Jianning wanted to marry the second daughter to the eldest son of the Liang family, but the eldest son was engaged to the seventh lady of the Gan family of the Zhongqin Bo family, and the second son was engaged to the second daughter of Lord Huang of Zhejiang according to the inspection, and the Marquis of Jianning married the second daughter to the third son of the Liang family. The strange thing is that it is the first time we have heard of the engagement between the eldest son of the Liang family and the seventh lady of the Zhongqin Bo family. With that, she glanced at Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai was looking at her with a smile, and when she stopped to look at herself, she immediately smiled and took her hand: "Good boy." You're such a smart one. As he spoke, he touched her head lovingly, "When I meet Master Hou, I'll tell him like this!" ”

A man's will is often revealed through the actions of the women in the family...... Mrs. Tai wants her to be Xu Lingyi's other pair of eyes!

She can do it, and that's what she wants to achieve.

Eleven Niang nodded happily: "Mother, I know!" ”

Mrs. Tai nodded, her eyes full of satisfaction.

As he spoke, the carriage had arrived in the lotus flower.

Xu Lingyi and the third master had already received the letter, and led the little maid to greet them at the door of the hanging flowers with a red lantern.

Mrs. Tai got out of the car and said curiously: "What about Xiao Wu?" ”

Xu Lingyi said: "I saw that the weather was cold, so let him go back first." The fifth brother and sister are now pregnant, and there can't be no one around. ”

Mrs. Tai nodded, and was helped into the weeping flower door by Eleven Niang.

The third lady took the maid and waited in the door.

The four of them, together with a large group of maids and mothers-in-law, hugged Mrs. Tai back to the house.
