Eleven Niang saw it clearly, remained silent, and found a chance to leave the hall.

Grandma Luo Si was waiting under the eaves.

The two went to the water pavilion.

"What's wrong?" Eleven Niang asked her softly.

Fourth Grandma Luo smiled: "I heard you last time that the fifth aunt and your business didn't work. I just want to ask Aunt Eleven. If there is a chance in the future, will the eleventh aunt still do business with the fifth aunt? ”

Shi Niang didn't know why she asked this, and euphemistically emphasized her attitude again: "Master Hou is at home now, and I don't want to get involved in such a business." ”

Grandma Luo Si smiled when she heard this: "I just asked." Then he took Eleven Niang's arm and wanted to go back to the main room together.

But the smile was a little reluctant.

Although there is not much contact, Eleven Niang feels that Grandma Luo Si is not the kind of person who catches the wind and shadows. She didn't move, but took Grandma Luo's hand and said calmly: "As the saying goes, three stinkers, one Zhuge Liang." If the fourth sister-in-law has anything, you might as well tell us and we will discuss it. ”

Fourth Grandma Luo hesitated for a long time and said in a low voice: "Fifth Grandma invited your fourth brother to do business with her. ”

Eleven Niang thought of her previous question, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

"You also know that your fourth brother, when he wants to be valued like this, he doesn't consult me, and insists that I give him fifty taels of silver, and when the fifth aunt and grandmother are full moon, they will go to Xuantong with the fifth aunt. Promise me a million profits, and come back with five thousand taels of silver. Grandma Luo Si's face was a little solemn, "I heard that something was wrong, and asked him carefully what kind of business it was, saying that it was you who came forward, and the fifth aunt helped run errands, followed the path of General Fan, and exchanged grain for salt." Speaking of this, she glanced at Eleven Niang, "But I heard you say last time, it's not good to meddle in this matter...... I'm afraid you've changed your mind at the moment, so let's ask. ”

It turns out that there is no death yet!

Eleven Niang thought of the extravagance of Wu Niang's child when she baptized the third ceremony, and couldn't help but suspect that Qian Ming had taken Fan Weigang's path in his own name.

If that's the case, why didn't you hear Xu Lingyi mention it? Is it bad to say anything in front of yourself? Or is Qian Ming's business small, within the range that Xu Lingyi can bear?

She couldn't help but feel angry.

Even if Wu Niang doesn't know what is powerful, don't you Qian Ming know?

Eleven Niang was not good at criticizing Qian Ming in front of Luo Si's grandmother, so she suppressed her displeasure and said with a smile: "I said, why did you invite the master of Chunxi Building to pack it when you baptized the three ceremonies, it turned out that she made a lot of money!" ”

Seeing that she neither said that there was such a thing, nor did she say that there was no such thing, thinking of her previous attitude, she had a faint bottom in her heart, and she couldn't help but turn red with anger. simply said: "You don't know." After you left for the third baptism ceremony that day, the fifth aunt and grandmother pulled the sister-in-law and said something in private for a long time. After going back, the sister-in-law asked Hang's mother to bring two hundred taels of silver tickets to the fifth aunt and grandmother. I inquired about Xinglin, and said that the fifth aunt and grandmother said that the money in their hands was used for business, and the turnover was not effective for a while, so I borrowed some silver from my sister-in-law. It will be returned at the end of the year. I wondered at the time. The fifth aunt is a shrewd person, and he will invest all his money in any business. Later, the fifth aunt and grandmother called your fourth brother again, saying that they wanted to do business together. I paid attention to it, and let people inquire, and the fifty taels of silver for the love affair was exactly the cost of two people going back and forth to Xuantong Mansion. Speaking of this, she trembled with anger, "Speaking of which, your fourth brother is the weakest of your sisters, and she is the same mother...... I haven't had a good night's sleep in the past few days, and I dream that it is me who has too much heart! His eyes turned red.

Eleven Niang was shocked.

Although the eldest lady does not give many dowries, it is not shabby. It's only been two years, why do you have to borrow money to live? Could it be that I am wrong? Wu Niang's money was actually spent on daily expenses, so Qian Ming wanted to go to Xuantong?

Thoughts came flooding back, and she couldn't help but say, "Fourth sister-in-law, you should be clear." What the hell is going on? ”

The words have already been said for this part, and Grandma Luo Si doesn't want to help Wu Niang hide it.

She said in a low voice: "You also know that the fifth aunt and grandmother were born prematurely. In fact, it was not a fall, but the fifth aunt and grandmother saw that they were about to give birth, but the family had no money. In a fit of anger, he quarreled with the fifth aunt. The fifth aunt said that the fifth aunt and grandmother were 'unreasonable', threw the curtain and left, and did not come back for two days. The fifth aunt was ashamed and angry, and she was going to jump into the river...... The child was born prematurely. As he spoke, he sighed softly, "Ziyuan saw that things were not good, and quietly came to ask the third aunt. The third aunt was afraid that someone would know about the joke, so she took out the eighty taels of silver at the bottom of the box and asked me to bring it to the fifth aunt...... Otherwise, I'm afraid I'm going to be a thing. ”

"How so?" Eleven Niang couldn't help but lose her voice, "The fifth sister is also a shrewd person, and she is about to give birth again, how can the fifth aunt make such a fuss?" ”

"Who says it isn't!" Fourth Grandma Luo smiled bitterly, "Fifth aunt has a lot of entertainment. Eating in Chunxi Building is to remember the account; Buying things in Duobaoge is a small house delivery...... Could it be that when the housekeepers come home to settle the bill, the fifth aunt and grandmother can still say that they have no money? Or let those stewards find the fifth aunt to go? In that case, what dignity does the fifth aunt have at all? What's more, there is also socializing among classmates. It's all debts, and you have to smash the pot. A pen, a pile, no matter how strong the fifth aunt is, there is no way! ”

Eleven Niang listened to all the flavors and didn't know what to say.

"Fortunately, although the fifth aunt and grandmother are difficult, it is only for a while - the fifth aunt is a good man, and it will be good if he wins the jinshi one day." Grandma Luo Si turned around and comforted Eleven Niang when she saw it, "As for business, don't worry about Grandma Eleven." Now that I know what you mean, your fourth brother will definitely make him die. As for the fifth aunt and grandmother, I will also help persuade her. ”

Now even his brother has calculated, but I am afraid that it is useless to persuade him.

Eleven Niang sighed secretly, and was afraid that the fourth grandmother and Luo Zhensheng would quarrel over this matter. said: "The fourth brother, the fourth sister-in-law should not be silent." Why don't I talk to the eldest brother and let the eldest brother come forward to persuade the fourth brother. so as not to embarrass my sister-in-law. ”

Grandma Luo Si was very surprised when she heard it.

Eleven Niang didn't mention letting Luo Da * tell Luo Zhenxing, but made up her mind to tell Luo Zhenxing herself, obviously to protect her own face. Thinking about it carefully, Luo Zhenxing and Luo Zhensheng are brothers after all, and he came forward to persuade Luo Zhensheng to be more convincing than himself. couldn't help but show gratitude: "Then please ask Aunt Eleven." ”

"We don't have to be so polite to each other."

Both of them were in a low mood and went back to the main house.

Early the next morning, Eleven Niang sent Sister Zhen away and sent a letter to Luo Zhenxing.

Luo Zhenxing, like last time, took advantage of the lunch break to come.

Eleven Niang asked people to make four dishes and one soup to entertain him. Then he said the purpose of calling him: "...... I thought about it, but I had to ask my eldest brother to come forward! ”

Luo Zhenxing frowned when he heard this: "Don't worry, I will persuade Zichun there." "There was no Tiro vibrating.

However, after solving Qian Ming, with Luo Zhensheng's personality, even if he has the heart, he doesn't dare to do such a deal.

Eleven Niang breathed a sigh of relief and personally helped Luo Zhenxing refill a cup of tea.

Luo Zhenxing talked to her about Yuan Niang's industry: "If you don't look for me, I want to find you too." Lu Yonggui told me a few days ago that when he heard that the imperial court was going to open a sea ban, many big businessmen went south and opened branches in Quanzhou and Guangzhou. He wants to ask you what you mean, do you want to go to the south too? ”

Eleven Niang was a little surprised, two days ago, she only heard that Wang Jiubao had a book of ten thousand words, why did some merchants go south?

"I don't know much about this kind of thing." She pondered, "Do you want me to ask what Master Hou means?" ”

Luo Zhenxing listened and said in a deep voice: "Since you haven't heard any rumors, then I'll ask Hou Ye what he means!" ”

Eleven Niang thought it was okay, so she called Amber in: "Just say that the eldest uncle is here, let him come back!" ”

Amber departed.

Eleven Niang asked about inviting Mr. "...... Is there any news? ”

Luo Zhenxing said: "I'm afraid that I won't move." deliberately sent Hang's mother's ** son to see Liu Ge Lao, and asked the old man to write a letter to Mr. Zhao's uncle. Then he asked about his brother's condition, "How is he now?" ”

"I used to get up every morning and eat breakfast and happily go to school. Now I get up and start grinding, and I procrastinate eating breakfast. Eleven Niang said helplessly, "It's clear that I don't want to go to school." ”

Luo Zhenxing couldn't help but be anxious when he heard this, and talked about his reading when he was a child.

Seeing that when he was about to go to the museum, Amber didn't fold back. Eleven Niang was surprised: "Even if you go to West Street, you have to come back!" ”

Just wanted to find Song's mother and look for it again, Amber came back: "Madam, uncle, Master Hou is talking to the second lady in Shaohua Courtyard." Said to let my uncle wait. ”

Eleven Niang was stunned.

Why did Xu Lingyi suddenly go to Shaohua Academy?

Luo Zhenxing couldn't wait, got up and said, "Then I'll come back another day!" ”

Eleven Niang endured the confusion in her heart and sent her brother out. Turning around and asking Amber, "Is Mrs. Tai also in Shaohua Courtyard?" ”

"Mrs. Tai is not here." Amber said, "I heard Linbo say that at noon, Steward Zhao from the back office came to call Hou Ye back, and Hou Ye listened to it and went to Shaohua Courtyard. ”

Could it be that the Xiang family really encountered any difficulties?

She was thinking about it when she saw Xu Lingyi hurrying over.

"What about revitalization?" He said, "Are you gone?" Then he complained, "Why don't you let him wait for me for a while?" ”

"Big brother will go to the museum then." Eleven Niang smiled, "Say come back another day!" ”

Xu Lingyi nodded and entered the inner room with Eleven Niang.

"What is Zhenxing looking for me?"

Eleven Niang said what Lu Yonggui meant.

Xu Lingyi thought for a while and said, "Let's wait and see!" ”

Eleven Niang asked him about going to the second lady: "...... But what's the matter with the Xiang family? ”

"After you said it that day, I asked people to inquire." Xu Lingyi sat on the big kang near the window, "The Xiang family not only has no financial difficulties, but also has been getting better and better year by year. It's just that Master Xiang didn't care about these mundane things when he was alive. Those old houses were not well repaired, and in the hands of Master Xiang, they were all dilapidated. The cost of repairing a house is not much worse than the cost of building a yard again. Mrs. Xiang meant that she wanted to sell a few buildings and keep a few buildings. Use the money from the sale of the house to renovate the rest of the yard. You don't have to take a lot of money out again, and you can save some manpower to take care of the house. Because it was an ancestral house, Mrs. Xiang asked Mrs. Xiang to ask the second sister-in-law. See if there's any special meaning that needs to be stayed. ”

"What did the second sister-in-law say?" Eleven Niang didn't expect things to be very different from what she thought.

Merry Christmas to all!
