Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang returned home at night. Mrs. Tai had not yet rested, and told them to speak.

"What's wrong?"

"I was angry at the third quarter of this morning. I had already sent a steward to deliver a letter to Taiyuan Mansion as soon as possible. Counting tomorrow, it should be there in the next two days. Mrs. Wang Jiatai has not been in good health since Wang Lang died, and the tenth aunt is also not familiar with general affairs, and now Zhenxing is presiding over the overall situation there. The Ministry of Rites has already gone to report the funeral, and asked the Yin and Yang Division of Qin Tianjian to choose a date, stop the spirit for 7749 days, and open the funeral to send an obituary three days later. Tonight's filial piety shed, filial piety clothes, and archway can be done. I left Steward Zhao there to help. ”

Seeing that everything was arranged in an orderly manner, Mrs. Tai nodded, and instructed Eleven Niang: "You guys go and rest early!" I'm going to go over there tomorrow to help. ”

The two bowed and withdrew.

Back in the house, Eleven Niang instructed the little maid to bring Xu Lingyi in a cup of loquat ointment, "The weather is too dry, Hou Ye poured his throat carefully." ”

Xu Lingyi took the teacup and took a sip, and said, "Tomorrow Yiqing and I will go to the Ministry of Rites and settle the matter of the child's inheritance as soon as possible." You go to Manager Bai early in the morning and take two thousand taels of silver to bring it to Zhenxing. When I listened to Zhenxing's tone today, I didn't even have all the money to buy filial piety clothes. ”

Eleven Niang should serve Xu Lingyi and rest. The next morning, I went to Wang's house with Qian Ticket and Xu Lingyi.

Luo Zhenxing rested at Wang's house last night, Luo Zhensheng, Zhu Anping and Qi Niang had already arrived, and the three of them were talking. Seeing the two of Xu's mouths, they both stood up. Luo Zhenxing even asked them: "Have you eaten?" ”

"Eat!" Several people met the ceremony, and Yu Yiqing, Qian Ming, Siniang and Wuniang all arrived. Knowing that Xu Lingyi and Yu Yiqing were going to the Ministry of Rites, Qian Ming said: "I'll also go to run errands!" Zhu Anping listened and said, "Then I'll stay and help the eldest brother!" ”

"Okay!" Luo Zhenxing also felt that the Wang family did not have a competent person, and only Steward Zhao could help.

Everyone went their separate ways.

Shi Niang was a few steps behind, waited for everyone to come out of the flower hall, and handed the silver ticket to Luo Zhenxing: "Big brother use it first." It's not enough! ”

Luo Zhenxing thought about it and took it in his hand: "Qi Niang also gave me two thousand taels of silver." I wrote down all the accounts, and when their aunts and aunts came, I could pay the bills. ”

Looks like there's really no money to spend!

Eleven Niang nodded, and went to see Mrs. Wang with Siniang, Wuniang, and Qiniang, and then went to Shiniang.

Wu Niang sighed: "...... Two days ago, I just bought a three-entry house in Sixiang Hutong, and I wanted to take you all over to be lively, but I didn't expect to encounter this. We'll have to wait a few days! ”

Eleven Niang was very surprised.

A few days ago, I heard Luo Si's grandmother say that Wu Niang borrowed money from Luo Da*'s grandmother, and the seventh brother didn't listen to her say anything when he washed the third ceremony, why did he buy a house in a few days?

She thought of the business that the fourth grandmother said last time.

It's a pity that the baptism is a woman's business, and Qian Ming shouldn't have arrived. Otherwise, it can be deduced whether he is in Yanjing or not......

Siniang was not happy, and said with a faint smile: "When the time comes, I will definitely go to be lively!" ”

Qi Niang is straight: "When did the fifth sister buy a house?" Why didn't there be any wind before? ”

The corners of Wu Niang's mouth were slightly twitching, and she was about to say something, but Si Niang had already said in front of her: "Who is like you?" Buying a house makes three families restless and four families uneasy. ”

Qi Niang pouted and stopped talking.

When she bought the house, the stewards of the Xu family and the Yu family helped her look at the place.

"When are you going to do the housewarming?" Siniang drank Qi Niang, and asked Wu Niang with a smile, "Is there anything missing in the family?" I don't dare to open my mouth for the big things, but I can still get the small things for your fourth sister! She bit the word "fourth sister".

Qi Niang originally wanted to ask Wu Niang what she was missing, and she would help her make up for it when the time came. Now that Siniang said this, it's hard to speak - she can't go past her sister when she gives gifts, right? Where to put the face of being a sister!

Wu Niang originally wanted to ask Qi Niang for a seven-fan screen or a set of black lacquer furniture, but when Si Niang said this, she could only swallow the words that came to her mouth. I saw a trace of annoyance flash between her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "There is nothing missing." I know that the fourth brother-in-law is a famous talent today. When the time comes, let the fourth brother-in-law help me write a few couplets, right? It's better than anything. ”

Shi Niang saw it clearly on the side, and immediately smiled: "Only our Hou Ye is a rough person." I'll give you a set of the four treasures of the study of the Duobao Pavilion! ”

Qi Niang saw that the things of the two of them were elegant but not valuable, and said with a smile: "Then I'll give Zhang Li Ji's drunkard chair!" ”

Eleven Niang saw that Siniang breathed a sigh of relief.

She smiled slightly, and heard Wu Niang laughing: "The fourth sister and the two younger sisters are too polite, I'm afraid I won't be able to do this housewarming joy if I don't do it!" ”

Everyone said and entered Shi Niang's house.

Shi Niang was already wearing filial piety clothes, and her face was so thin that only a pair of big eyes remained, swollen like a peach, obviously crying.

Everyone was a little surprised.

She nodded to the crowd and let the silver bottle help serve the tea.

Siniang greeted her on behalf of the sisters in the family, and she answered them one by one, although the words were short, but her thoughts were clear and clear. just didn't look at Shi Niang and didn't answer Shi Niang's words, which made Shi Niang a little embarrassed, so she simply stopped talking, and Si Niang agreed with her.

After a while, Luo Da * milk came.

"Please forgive me, aunts and grandmothers." She was blessed when she entered the door, "I've been helping my father and mother pack up their things these days." It is scheduled to return to Yuhang on the twelfth day of next month. ”

Shi Niang was stunned when she listened: "When was it decided?" How did I not know? Her voice grew a little sharper.

Siniang, Wuniang, and Qiniang were silent. Siniang and Qiniang are in the second room, I don't know about this matter, but Wuniang doesn't want to cause trouble.

Seeing that Shi Niang questioned herself in front of the sisters in the second room, Luo Da * Grandma was a little uncomfortable, thinking that Luo Qiye's baptism and ten niangs did not go, and said lightly: "It was decided on the day of the seventh brother's baptism." ”

Shi Niang didn't make a sound, and she was stunned.

She had always been a little eccentric, and everyone was not surprised, and no one comforted her. Siniang stepped forward to salute Luo Da * Grandma and asked about Luo Si's grandmother.

On the third day, several families sent three animal sacrifices, and the Wang family's aunts and aunts rushed over. Wang Lin has been crying since she received the letter, and when she entered the door, she was helped in, but Jiang Gui greeted Xu Lingyi first, and then went to her father-in-law's spirit to offer incense. Because he saw that Wang Lang's biological father had been walking around, and the Wang family did not have a director, he still entrusted the funeral to Luo Zhenxing and Zhu Anping, and he ran to the Ministry of Rites with Xu Lingyi and Yu Yiqing, Qian Ming helped run errands before and after, and Eleven Niang and a few people went early every day, and returned after dark.

Adding up the funeral of 1,000 taels of the Ministry of Rites and the accompanying gifts of the guests, it is just enough to spend, not to mention the silver of the Xu family and the Zhu family. Fortunately, Zhu Anping is generous, this result was expected by Xu Lingyi, and he didn't expect the silver to be returned, so no one cared. Jiang Gui was very reluctant and promised that he would pay back the silver. Xu Lingyi and Zhu Anping both pushed. Later, Jiang Gui still brought two thousand taels of silver over, which is a later story.

Eleven Niang and Xu Lingyi both rested at home for a day, waiting for the news from the Ministry of Rites, Luo Da * Milk came over: "...... Shi Niang wants to invite you back to Gongxian Hutong to get together. ”

"At this time?" Eleven Niang was surprised, "Grandpa Guo's first seven have just passed!" ”

Luo Da * Milk nodded: "That's why I made an appointment in Gongxian Hutong - she said that everyone had helped and wanted to bring the children over and kowtow to a few uncles and uncles." Moreover, the father and mother are going back to Yuhang, and the children are also asked to recognize their grandfather and grandmother. ”

Since Wang Chengzu passed to Wang Lang's name, the child has not been to Gongxian Hutong, nor has he been to Xu's house.

Shi Niang only felt that Shi Niang's behavior was very strange.

"Did you invite me too?"

"Please!" Grandma Luo also knew that Shi Niang had a knot in her heart for Shi Niang, "I also asked specifically, and she said that she would also invite the two of you to go over together." also said that the most grateful person is Hou Ye. There is no Hou Ye, let alone Chengjue, I am afraid that she will have no place to settle down for a long time. Others can not go, but you can't not go. ”

This is really Shi Niang's tone, and you have to offend people when you have a treat!

Speaking of which, Eleven Niang responded with a smile, and after Luo Da * Grandma left, she showed the post to Xu Lingyi, and Xu Lingyi did not doubt him: "The death of Grandpa Guo is a funeral after all." Since she wants to have a treat, it is better to be in the bowstring alley. ”

Maybe it's because I'm too careful!

Eleven Niang comforted herself. The next day, let Amber prepare an eight-color gift box and a few forgings, and went to Bowstring Hutong with Xu Lingyi.

Yu Yiqing, Qian Ming, Zhu Anping and Luo Zhenda, the third master of the Luo family, all arrived, and were talking in the flower hall next to the upside-down seat. Everyone saw the ceremony, Luo Zhenda accompanied Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang to the eldest lord and eldest lady to say hello.

Siniang, Wuniang, Qiniang, Luo San, and Luo Si were sitting around the round table in the middle of the main hall talking, and when they saw the Xu couple coming in, they all stood up. Wu Niang smiled even more: "This is good, we are all here, but the people who invited the guests are nowhere to be seen." ”

Only then did Shi Niang know that Shi Niang had not yet arrived.

She smiled and shouted "Fifth Sister", saluted with everyone, and was about to go into the inner room to greet the eldest lady, when a little maid came in and said, "Grandma Tenth is here!" ”

Everyone looked towards the door.

Shi Niang wore a dark Hangzhou silk sleeve jacket and led a seven-year-old boy and walked in slowly.

She combed her hair in a high bun, her eyes were calm, her waist was straight, and her head was slightly raised, looking dignified and solemn.

"Tenth aunt and grandmother!" Grandma Luo immediately greeted her with a smile.

Shi Niang bowed slightly and greeted everyone. The voice was a little weak, and it seemed a little lacking in qi, but he advanced and retreated in a moderate manner, generous and decent, and introduced the child to everyone: "This is the ancestor." ”

Wang Chengzu has white teeth and red lips, is delicate and beautiful, has a pair of eyes that are very flexible, and he looks like a smart child at first glance.

He saluted everyone respectfully, and when he arrived in front of Xu Lingyi, he was even more cautious, and he was very lively in front of Eleven Niang, tilting his head and asking her, "Are you my eleventh aunt?" ”

Eleven Niang's heart moved slightly, but she didn't show her face, nodded positively, and didn't say much.

Wang Chengzu's eyes showed a disappointment.

Eleven Niang looked at it and sighed secretly in her heart.

This kid is not a fuel-efficient lamp, but I am afraid.
