"In, in, in!" Holly hurriedly went to tell Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang asked Amber to accompany Shi Niang to pick up things, and she changed into homely clothes and went to the eldest lady.

In the yard, I met Xu's mother.

She greeted Eleven Niang politely: "You came to see the eldest lady?" ”

"yes!" Eleven Niang smiled and greeted her, "You're busy!" ”

This was originally a polite sentence of statement, but who knew that Mother Xu raised the things in her hand: "Two hundred-year-old ginseng in the eldest lady's warehouse, let me send them to my aunt and grandmother." ”

So much happened yesterday, the eldest lady must be relieved, right?

Eleven Niang smiled at Mother Xu, and then lifted the curtain and entered the hall.

The eldest lady was not there, and the eldest lady was eating breakfast alone, with a bowl of white porridge in front of her, and four or five side dishes on the table.

"Have you eaten it?" She asked Eleven Niang with a pleasant face, and without waiting for Eleven Niang to answer, she had instructed the coral on the side, "Bring a pair of dishes and chopsticks to Miss Eleven." ”

Eleven Niang has eaten it...... But she couldn't refuse the intimacy of the leader.

Smiling and thanking her, she sat down, and Coral served her a small half bowl of white porridge.

really responded to the sentence that there are people in the court who are good officials. Amber and Coral are good friends, and Coral also takes a lot of care of the people in Eleven's house. Knowing that Shi Niang came after breakfast, the porridge was only half a bowl - not only with the meaning of the eldest wife, but also so as not to lose etiquette if she couldn't finish eating.

Eleven Niang smiled gratefully at Sango.

Coral knew that Eleven Niang understood her kindness, and also smiled.

Everyone ate silently, and Eleven Niang followed the eldest lady to the big kang near the window in the west room.

The eldest lady complained: "This bed is not a bed, it is not a couch, it is hot with a cushion, and it is very human if it is not a cushion...... It's better to have our eight-step bed and Luohan bed. ”

Eleven Niang helped the eldest lady to get on the kang and helped push half of the window, and the cool breeze with the freshness of the spring rain came to her face.

"I'll make you some bamboo cushions!" Eleven Niang smiled, "It's more comfortable this way." ”

The eldest lady smiled and nodded: "You are always so thoughtful. He took her hand again, "Shi Niang is picking clothes in your house, right?" I've wronged you. ”

"What's wronged." Eleven Niang smiled, "A hundred years of cultivation can be crossed in the same boat." My tenth sister and I are sisters in this life, and I don't know if there will be this blessing in the next life. What are a few pieces of clothing and jewelry? ”

The eldest lady smiled and bowed her head and said, "Don't worry, I know in my heart that I won't praise you." "I called Jade and Tortoiseshell to come in and open the cage, and brought Eleven Niang over to see," ...... I want to give them some clothes. You have a good eye, help me take a look. ”

Eleven Niang was slightly stunned.

This used to be Wu Niang's work......

But looking at the eldest lady's smiling expression, she answered "yes" quietly.

The big lady's smile came to her eyes.

A few people spent the morning in the gorgeous clothes of the eldest lady.

At noon, the eldest lady left Eleven Niang to eat, and Eleven Niang served the eldest lady to take a nap. The big lady just lay down, and the big * milk came.

I didn't come to lunch just now, but this time I came...... I thought of yesterday's big * milk for Shi Niang's early return, and I didn't see it this morning...... There must be something to do, right?

Eleven Niang excused herself to make tea for the big * milk and hid in the ear room on the side.

When the eldest lady saw that Eleven Niang was gone, her face immediately sank: "But what's the news?" ”

Big * milk took a few steps forward and said in a low voice, "Ask clearly." It was sent to her by Weiyuan Dart Bureau. Who is the principal, but they don't tell us anything. I asked how much the premium was, and I was tight-lipped. The daughter-in-law is stupid, but I am afraid that she still has to inquire from home. Yesterday, I sent someone to Yuhang. ”

"You're doing a great job!" The eldest lady's face turned slightly pale, "I'm afraid something happened at home...... Let's talk about it when the people sent back to us. During this time, you should accompany Shi Niang well, don't let her run around and talk nonsense. As he spoke, he snorted coldly, "Which two maids are serving by her side now?" ”

"One is called Jin Lian, and the other is called Yinhua, both of whom were second-class maids beside me."

"I'm glad you helped me." The eldest lady sighed very emotionally, "Otherwise, it will really be messed up." ”

"Look at what my mother said." Big * Milk said modestly, "I also do what you tell me." As he spoke, he took out a few silver tickets from his sleeve and said with a smile, "This is the 1,200 taels of silver you gave last time." The family's expenses were only a little too much when I first came, and then it was only 70 or 80 taels a month, and I took more than 600 taels of silver out to supplement the family. More for you! As he spoke, he gave the silver ticket to the eldest lady.

"Silly boy, what's mine is yours." The eldest lady didn't answer, "You can put it away, buy some rouge water, and wear it with emerald hairpins." ”

The eldest * grandmother was about to excuse herself, but the eldest lady said, "I still have something to ask you to do." ”

"Speak, please." Seeing that the eldest lady was sincere to herself, the big * grandmother took the silver ticket.

The eldest lady muttered, "You young people, you have a good brain. When I have time, I went to Xizha Gate to have a look, and looked at the new style to buy some dowries for Wu Niang and Shi Niang. ”

The big * milk was slightly surprised, but still responded with a respectful "yes".

The eldest lady hesitated for a moment and added, "Each person is limited to five hundred taels of silver!" Then he asked the big * grandmother, "Five hundred taels of silver, isn't it?" ”

When the eldest * grandmother got married, it cost almost 5,000 taels of silver, not counting acres of land and the like, and of course 500 taels of silver is not much. But Wu Niang and Shi Niang are different, they are concubines......

She hurriedly smiled: "A lot, a lot." This purchase also depends on how to spend. ”

Seeing that her daughter-in-law understood what she meant, the eldest lady nodded with satisfaction and said, "Later, we will sum up and see if there is anything else that can be moved in Yuhang, so as not to take out the money to buy acres of real estate." ”

The big * grandmother nodded hurriedly in response, and a little maid came in and said, "Mother Xu is back!" ”

"Come on in!" The eldest lady was busy putting on her shoes, but Mother Xu came in with the curtain.

"What's wrong?" The eldest lady asked eagerly, "Is Yuan Niang okay?" ”

Mother Xu squatted down to give the eldest lady a blessing gift, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, everything is fine." Early this morning, Mrs. Tai of the Xu family went to the Huang Mansion of the Marquis of Yongchang to visit Mrs. Huang, saying that she wanted to ask Mrs. Huang to come forward to try the tone of the Jiang family. Just wait to hear the good news! ”

The eldest lady listened and folded her hands and bowed to the west: "Amitabha! If you bless our brother with all the wishes, I will definitely reshape your golden body when the time comes. ”

Big * milk and Xu's mother laughed, and Xu's mother said, "You just wait to prepare the gold leaf!" I heard Tao's mother say that Mrs. Tai went to see her aunt and grandmother before leaving this morning, told her aunt and grandmother about the Jiang family, and asked her aunt which one was better? ”

The eldest lady was very happy to hear this, and said with a smile: "Of course it's the daughter of the Jiang Bai family!" ”

"Grandma said the same thing." Mother Xu smiled, "Give Mrs. Tai a reason." In the end, Mrs. Tai didn't say anything and went to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion. ”

"She's always been smart." The daughter can manipulate her husband, the eldest lady listened with a smile on her face, and asked Xu's mother, "Have you eaten?" ”

Mother Xu smiled: "My aunt and grandmother have rewarded me with snacks, and I am not hungry, but what is the matter with my eldest wife?" ”

The eldest lady asked the eldest * grandmother to tell the kitchen to send some food to Xu's mother, and said, "I was about to settle accounts with Brother Xing's daughter-in-law, and you came back just in time." ”

Her voice fell, and a little maid came: "Big * milk, uncle asked you to run a banquet." Mr. Qian is here! ”

The big * grandmother frowned slightly when she heard this, but still instructed the little maid: "You go and talk to Mother Hang, just do it as before." ”

The little maid answered the call and left.

The eldest lady was thoughtful and asked the eldest grandmother: "At this time, we must organize a banquet...... But who often comes to fight the autumn breeze? ”

The big * milk smiled: "It's not enough to fight the autumn wind, it's just that it's diligent." Every time I came, I took a closer look at the things at home, and I recognized everything about Li Ji's Taishi chair, Song Shoumei's pen wash, and Duobao Pavilion's wolf pen. Between the conversations, he often talked about which restaurant was magnificent, which teahouse had delicious tea, what kind of new drama Yan Jingjing had been on recently, who starred in it, which adult's house he visited, and what rare things he saw...... It's not like a person who is immersed in hard work. ”

The eldest lady's expression became solemn - she was most afraid that her son would be dazzled in Yanjing and lose the mind to study.

"What's this man's name? How old is it? Where are the people? Is it a prisoner or a shadow student? "I asked very carefully.

The big * grandmother probably paid attention to this very much, and answered quite smoothly: "This person's name is Qian Ming, the character is pure, and he is from Yichun, Sichuan." Two years older than Xianggong, he is a gift. It is said that there are still a few acres of land in the family, and I don't think he looks like a poor person. But it's the eyes that look at things that are straight and straight, which makes people uncomfortable to look at. ”

"Is it a gift?" The eldest lady was a little surprised, "If you can come to Guozijian to study, you should still have some ability." You can't judge people and snub them. Look at the small and not look at the old, maybe one day this person will be sealed and worshipped! ”

The big * grandmother hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, every time he comes, I will entertain him with good wine and meat." Last time, he said that the crystal stew in Chunxi Building was delicious, and I specially sent someone to Chunxi Building to buy it to entertain him. ”

The eldest lady said "um" with satisfaction, thought about it, and said, "Since Brother Xing has a guest over there, you should go and busy with you first!" I have a mother here! ”

Big * milk smiled and left, and a maid brought a bowl of fried whitebait, a bowl of scrambled eggs with Tsubaki sprouts, and a bowl of white rice into the house.

When Eleven Niang saw it, she brought two cups of tea in.

"Is my sister-in-law gone?"

Mother Xu was sitting on the small pestle to eat, and when she saw Eleven Niang coming in, she hurriedly stood up.

The eldest lady then remembered Eleven Nianglai, and said with a smile: "You can also go back and rest!" ”

Eleven Niang couldn't ask for it, so she smiled and left.

After Xu's mother finished eating, the eldest lady discussed with her about the dowry.

“…… There were several times of water on the other side of the Huai River, and the land was barren. That's your dowry...... though."

The eldest lady was refreshed: "I don't have to stick to this." Throw off all those baggage. ”

Mother Xu should be "yes", and seriously calculated the account with the eldest wife: "In this way, we still have a mountain forest in Yu County, and we can only plant some miscellaneous trees, and we just cut down a piece last year and sold it for more than 60 taels of silver......

"This one counts as well."

Mother Xu nodded, picked up the pen and made another note in the account book.

is calculating, Mother Tao next to Yuan Niang is here! ”

The eldest lady and Xu's mother were slightly stunned, and the eldest lady was even more worried: "Is there something wrong?" ”
