Back at Xu's Mansion, Xu Lingyi asked Eleven Niang euphemistically: "You went to see Mrs. Gan, have you seen Mrs. Gan?" ”

"See!" Eleven Niang said calmly, "She was very unhappy when she saw me bring flowers and trees. However, this gold is not pure gold, and no one is perfect. Who can please everyone? She smiled and changed the subject: "Isn't there any news from Tongzhou yet?" ”

"Not yet!" Xu Lingyi said, "Steward Zhao sent a steward and four small servants to take turns to guard the dock, so there should be no leakage." ”

Eleven Niang put her mind at ease for the time being, and waited for another two days, but before anyone could wait, the kumquat on the other side of the bowstring alley came to see her.

Usually, when there is something, it is Hang's mother who comes over. Even if Hang's mother has something, she will definitely not call a little maid to come to Xu's house.

Eleven Niang quietly called Kumquat in.

Kumquat only heard that Aunt Eleventh was blessed in Luofu, and when she saw the style of the Xu family with her own eyes, she immediately felt a little conscious, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet. Although there was no one in the house, she still trembled for a long time before she spoke: "Aunt said, let Madame go back." ”

"What's going on?" Eleven Niang grabbed a handful of candy for her to eat.

Kumquat took it tremblingly, and said tremblingly, "I don't know either." My aunt only said in front of the big * milk that she would send me out to buy some brown sugar and go back. Please also ask Mrs. to reward me with brown sugar, and I will go back to pay for it. ”

Eleven Niang asked Amber to lead the kumquat down, said hello to Mrs. Tai, and went to Bowstring Alley.

"It's Master Jian who is looking for you." The fifth aunt explained, "She wants to meet you before entering the Xu Mansion. Now I live in a Gaosheng inn next to our alley. ”

Eleven Niang went to the inn.

I haven't seen him for a few years, and Master Jian has not changed much. Medium, thin, fair, with a gentle and calm gaze.

came with Master Jane, as well as Qiu Ju.

When she bent her knees to salute Eleven Niang, tears fell down her eyes.

"You're coming along?" Eleven Niang took her up.

She nodded with tears in her eyes: "I worshipped the master and wanted to serve the master." ”

In other words, Qiu Ju will be the real heir to Master Jian's mantle in the future.

Eleven Niang smiled and nodded.

Zhu Xiang hurriedly pulled Qiu Ju to talk outside.

Eleven Niang and Master Jian held hands and sat on the bed talking.

"Qiu Ju is hard-working, serious, and has some talents. You introduced me to a good apprentice. Master Jian smiled, "I told her family." After that, she followed me. Weddings, funerals, and weddings have nothing to do with her family. It's like a daughter I've raised. ”

"It is her blessing to be the successor of her master." Shi Niang asked about Master Jian's body: "Is your body still strong?" ”

"Not as good as ever." Master Jian said with a smile, "My eyes are not very good!" ”

"Then come to Yanjing to enjoy your old age!" Shi Niang said with a smile, "The disciple doesn't dare to say anything else, a meal and a porridge are still fed." ”

Master Jian showed a gentle smile and did not answer her directly, but asked about her situation. Knowing that she was doing well, she bowed slightly: "You have been assertive since you were a child." You can survive adversity. Then he talked about himself: "I was going to come at the end of the year." As a result, the eldest son of the emperor got married, and Jiangnan Weaving wanted to offer a wedding dress. In the past, these businesses were done by Xian Ayage, and in recent years, the color embroidery workshop has also begun to get involved in the embroidery business, intending to compete with Xian Ayage. Xian Yakaku was afraid that I would work for the Colorful Embroidery Workshop, and sent people to ask me about my intentions many times. I didn't want to get involved in the dispute between the two families, so I came to Yanjing in advance. ”

Eleven Niang couldn't help but sigh when she heard it.

Master Kan is actually an honest craftsman. There's no way to avoid trouble.

"And what are your plans?"

When Master Jian heard this, he asked her, "Are you in any trouble?"

Eleven Niang was puzzled.

Master Jian explained: "Yanjing is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the Yongping Marquis Mansion is a relative of the emperor, where is there less people to do needlework?" He added, "That year, Master Chen asked me to teach his concubine embroidery, if you hadn't helped me out of the siege, he would have smashed my embroidery hall at that time." I didn't say a word afterwards, but I kept it in my heart. Although I am just a small embroiderer, I also know about Entubao, if you have anything to help me with, just tell me. ”

Master Chen's concubine was a good one in Goolan Courtyard, and Master Jian didn't want to ruin his reputation. At that time, she just used the name of the Luo family to scare people away. And even if she didn't come forward, Master Jian might not have a way to get out. Afterwards, Master Jian didn't mention it, so she didn't say it, but she didn't expect Master Jian to remember it all the time.

Eleven Niang hurriedly told Master Jian what Mrs. Tai meant: "...... I think my female celebrity is good. That's why I want to see you. ”

Master Jian was very surprised.

Shi Niang said about Xu Lingyi sending someone to pick her up again: "I didn't expect to miss someone!" ”

"No one leaked!" Master Jian was a little embarrassed and said, "I look at that frame...... I didn't expect that Hou Ye sent someone to pick me up, so I deliberately avoided it! ”

Eleven Niang couldn't help laughing, and assured Master Jian again: "I'm fine." Nothing. Pick you up to Yanjing, just want you to help train the needlework in the house. ”

Qiu Ju outside heard some hearty laughter from Eleven Niang, and whispered to Zhu Xiang: "What I told you, don't tell Madame, Madame will definitely be sad if she knows." As he spoke, he sighed softly, "I think how good Madame was to treat Holly!" ”

Zhu Xiang's eyes darkened: "Don't worry, I won't tell Madame!" ”

Qiu Ju listened and said, "Binju, you can't say it either!" She's a rectum. I'll definitely tell my wife when the time comes! ”

"I won't say anything." Zhu Xiang promised, "You also remember not to talk nonsense. ”

"I know." Qiu Ju nodded, "If someone asks, I will say that I have been following Master Jian and have never returned to Yuhang, and I don't know about Holly's return to Yuhang!" ”

Zhu Xiang nodded and asked Qiu Julai: "Are you still going back to Yuhang?" ”

Qiu Ju told Master Jian and his family about the agreement.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Eleven Niang walking out with Master Jian in her arms.

The two of them hurriedly stood up.

Master Jian instructed Qiu Ju: "Pack up your things, let's go to the Yongping Marquis Mansion." ”

Qiu Ju responded, Zhu Xiang hurriedly called the mother-in-law who followed the car to help take things, and the group went to the lotus.

Mrs. Tai saw that Master Jian's eyes were clear, his demeanor was calm, and he was neither arrogant nor humble between advance and retreat, and she knew that she was not the one who was vain, and she had a good impression. Instructed Eleven Niang to clean up two houses in Lijingxuan for Master Jian and Qiu Ju to live in.

"It's just a guest house. Five taels of silver a month, helping to point out the needlework of Sister Zhen'er. ”

Master Jian thanked Mrs. Tai and went to Sister Zhen's place with Eleven Niang.

Sister Zhen knew that she was the master of Eleven Niang, so she naturally redoubled her respect. Master Jian saw that Sister Zhen was not the pampered person, and he was also relieved. And Binju burst into tears when she saw them: "I've been talking about it since I heard that I was coming, but I didn't expect to see it again!" ”

Qiu Ju pulled Binju and shouted "sister", but she couldn't say a word.

Xiaoli and the others came forward to persuade them and fetched water to wash their faces.

"When you're settled, go to my house for a day!" After the initial excitement, Binju invited Master Jian and Qiu Ju, and looked at Zhu Xiang and Xiaoli and the others, "You should also go and accompany you." ”

"I know that Sister Binju has become a relative, brother-in-law, we haven't seen it yet!" Qiu Ju smiled, "Naturally, I want to recognize the door." Hama Ju blushed shy when he said this.

On the side, Zhu Xiang sighed secretly in her heart, and Qiu Ju's words echoed in her mind: "...... Seeing that she came back from Yanjing, she was wearing a golden hairpin and a silver hairpin, and she was wearing silk and satin. It was sent home by Chief Wu himself. It's not like a down-and-out person. Her sister-in-law took her baggage that night, and took away all the clothes and jewelry and the three hundred taels of silver that her wife usually gave her. On weekdays, she either shouted that there was no salt to buy, or she shouted that there was no oil to beat, only instructed her, but did not give a penny, Holly was slightly unhappy and pointed to Sang scolding Huai, the face is not a face, the nose is not a nose, saying that Holly is to keep things as a dowry, so ashamed that Holly dare not speak, so noisy that Holly and Lao Tzu are not at peace, and the few broken silver in Holly's hands are consumed.

Holly asked someone to tell her a matchmaker.

A better person, seeing that she was so old and unworthy of someone but was sent back by the master, guessed that she was misbehaving, and did not agree. Those who promised, eight or nine out of ten, were prodigals in the township, and they couldn't afford the bride price if they didn't have any money. It just so happened that there was a silk collector from Suzhou living next door, and when he saw that holly had a few colors, he asked someone to come to the door to say goodbye. said that his wife died early, leaving only one **, and wanted to marry a continuation. Holly's Lao Tzu and Niang saw that although this person was the same age as himself and he was short, he was willing to pay a bride price of fifty taels of silver, so they agreed.

Within a few months, their family took a fancy to a house in the county. Her sister-in-law took her nephew to borrow some money from Holly and went to Suzhou to have fun by the way. When I arrived in Suzhou, I realized that the merchant had not died at all. not only did not die of his wife, but also had three sons-in-law. In front of people outside, he only said that Holly was a bought concubine. Holly's sister-in-law came to the door, was scolded without saying anything, and instructed the rough mother-in-law at home to beat Holly's sister-in-law out with a mallet. Her sister-in-law found out when she inquired. It turned out that the merchant was not at home all the year round, and the eldest woman had the final say in the affairs of the family. This eldest woman is also a well-known fierce woman in the neighborhood. If you are a little displeased, it is common to beat the maid and scold the little girl, and it is not a problem to drag the little concubine to the yard and kneel down all night, and the little concubine at home saw her, like a mouse seeing a cat. As soon as the holly entered the door, the eldest woman was tidying her up, and now she was tossed to the point that she didn't look like a man, and she no longer had her previous color......"

Others don't know what Zhu Xiang is thinking. Waiting for Master Jian and Qiu Ju to settle down, Eleven Niang and Sister Zhen'er went to Binju's house together, eating, drinking and drinking for a long time.

Qiu Ju looked very emotional, but couldn't say a word. But also because of this, the two of them are getting closer and closer.

However, Master Jian was very interested in the embroidery that Binju put on the kang.

Binju hurriedly explained with a smile: "I'll help some of Yanjing's wedding shops embroider some things, and exchange a few broken silver to make up for the family." ”

"Nice embroidery!" Master Jian asked her, "How much silver can such a curtain sell?" ”

"I make my own materials, needles and threads, and I can sell them for two or three taels of silver. The material and needle and thread in the shop can be sold for one or two taels of silver. ”

"It's higher than what comes out of Hangzhou!"

"They like Sue on this side. I think the styles and looks of our side are newer. ”

It happened that Qiu Ju came in with lotus seed osmanthus soup, and the two stopped the topic.

When they came home in the evening, they didn't see Eleven Niang.

"Aunt Ten's father-in-law has passed away, and Lord Hou and his wife have gone to the Mansion of Maoguo!"
