Since Xu Sizhen's accident that night, Eleven Niang has never seen the fragrance of tea again.

In the face of survival、Everyone is a mole mosquito。

Eleven Niang didn't want Xu Sizhen to come into contact with these too early, but she didn't want to lie to him.

"Cha Xiang is your personal maid, and her responsibility is to take good care of you. In the dead of night. She took you out without telling Mrs. Tai and Mother Du, and made a decision that she shouldn't have made, which was a dereliction of duty. It is impossible to come back to serve you. ”

Xu Sizhen was stunned.

He asked many people, including Du's mother, and they all said that as long as he cultivated well. When she got better, Mrs. Tai was happy. Maybe I will let the tea fragrance come back to serve people again. It was the first time someone had told him so clearly that it was impossible for Chaxiang to return to rice.

"But."

Xu Sijian couldn't help but defend Cha Xiang, "I asked her to take me out." The fragrance of tea is just on orders.

"She's older than you and knows more than you. That's why Mrs. Tai asked her to serve in your house, and let her take care of a few Biluo. "Whether it's adults or children, people communicate with each other like this. It's a rare opportunity. Eleven Niang replied to Xu Sizhen very patiently and meticulously, you are wrong, she should point out and stop it, if it is because the master and servant are different. She can't stop you, so she should tell Mother Du, who is in charge of her. Instead of making decisions with the next. Take you out.

Xu Sizhen lowered his eyelids.

Mother has a point. I don't know why. He always felt weird in his heart!

I thought about it for a long time. Said: "Yes. But she's just a maid? ”

"yes!" Eleven Niang smiled. So some Y and Xiao Si do things and mothers. Some little maids are released when they are old enough to be matched. When the little guy is old, he can only help those stewards run errands. Some y-guys and small guys can get two taels a month and often get a reward from the master. Some maids and servants are often punished for not having a monthly routine. It also has to do with the fact that people who do things don't have to worry about it. ”

Xu Si listened earnestly. He nodded slowly.

Eleven Niang smiled and hugged his shoulder: "Okay. Let's take a break early! Early yesterday morning, we had to instruct the steward of the outer courtyard to help Mother Tao send three sacrifices! 、

Xu Sizhen's face showed Qi again.

Some things "have to be done slowly."

Eleven Niang watched Xu Sizhen lie down. Covered him with a thin quilt and moved the light outside. After a few words of instruction to the nurse, she went out of the room.

Mrs. Tai hadn't rested yet, and was talking to Mother Du about something, when she saw Eleven Niang come out. The old man smiled and beckoned to her: "Come and sit!" 、

Eleven Niang sat down beside Mrs. Tai with a smile, and Mrs. Tai took her hand: "Go and tell Brother Chen about Mother Tao?" , Du's mother personally brought a cup of hot tea and served it.

Eleven Niang nodded: "It's said!" "Again." When I saw him rest, I came out.

Mrs. Tai sighed softly. Then he said: "Mother Du went to see Aunt Qin today, and she is not in a good condition." Speak upside down and don't say anything. Even Du's mother didn't recognize it. I think you'd better send someone to Le'an. Let Brother Yu'er come back sooner. ”

Aunt Qin is not sick. Everyone here knows that. When Du's mother came back from the Fallen Leaves Mountain, Aunt Qin's illness worsened...... Eleven Niang's expression was slightly gloomy. Say yes.

At night I think about what happened during this time. There is no drowsiness at all, and I don't want to wake up Xu Lingyi next to me. Motionless, staring at the sachet on the top of the tent, he froze. Xu Siyu is not Xu Siyu. A few words of coaxing will pass.

It is better to read a thousand books than to travel thousands of miles. These two years. He ran on both sides of Yanjing and Le'an, and studied with the world-famous Mr. Jiang, and he was no longer the second young master who was raised by a woman in the Hou Ye back then. But the people in the house rarely communicate with him. I don't know much about his changes. Tell him what Aunt Qin has done. For Xu Lingyi, Mrs. Tai, and even herself, although the responsibility is clear. But what about feelings?

Can feelings be drawn with responsibility?

Who will comfort and seek this boy who is only fourteen years old?

Eleven Niang thought of the second lady!

She still remembered when Xu Siyu was going to change the little girl. Aunt Qin once hurriedly sent a letter to the second lady who was far away in Xishan, "... Aunt Qin doesn't look for Mrs. Tai. Don't look for Xu Lingyi. went to find the second lady, and the second lady lived up to her trust, and immediately arranged for Xiao Lu to serve by Xu Siyu's side. Is it in Aunt Qin's heart. The second lady is a person who makes her more trustworthy than Mrs. Tai and Xu Lingyi?

There is also Xu Siyu, because after listening to the words of the second lady and dispelling the knot, he happily went to Le'an. Every time I come back from Le'an. will respectfully go to the second lady to say goodbye. Discuss academic matters with her. Is it that in Xu Siyu's heart, the second lady is a more trustworthy person than Xu Lingyi and Aunt Qin?

When Aunt Qin's actions were laid out in front of Xu Siyu at a glance, the relationship between the second lady and Qin's mother and son. Can you ask her to come forward to appease Xu Siyu?

Pondering. A pair of strong hands gently embraced her.

"What?" Xu Lingyi's mellow voice sounded in her ears in a low voice, and there was a kind of stable warmth. Can't sleep? , "Uh-huh,

Eleven Niang leaned into Xu Lingyi's arms, "Thinking about what happened these days...

Xu Lingyi was silent for a moment and said, "I know that too...... You're now marked pregnant...... Something. You should let your mother take care of it...... But you're going to have to take over these things sooner or later......" There was a rare hesitation in his tone.

"Master Hou doesn't have to worry about me. Truly. This is one of her responsibilities. Eleven Niang said in a low voice: "I'm just a little worried, Brother Yu'er."

I'm afraid that I will know Aunt Qin's ...... when the time comes."

Xu Lingyi bowed her head slightly and kissed Eleven Niang's forehead.

"Brother is not like Brother Zhen." He said in a low voice, "He is clever and thoughtful.

and resolute in temperament. Whether he has been involved in this matter or not.

Eleven Niang was stunned.

Xu Lingyi has already said: "Even if he has followed Mr. Jiang for the past two years, he understands things. You don't say it to him. He's sure to guess and guess. On the contrary, it is easy to cause some turmoil. Perhaps, in a few years, I will unintentionally single out the witchcraft. It's a bad thing. Even though he was sad and sad. Can be his character. It will be able to come out soon. It's better for him later. ”

This is the first time that Xu Lingyi has commented on Xu Siyu so frankly in front of her.

If you remove the difference between concubines and concubines, in Xu Lingyi's heart. I'm afraid that Xu Siyu is more suitable to be the heir of the Marquis of Yongping than Xu Sizhen, right?

Is it because of this. So his feelings are particularly deep?

Eleven Niang shook Xu Lingyi's big hand on her waist: "I don't think Brother Yu'er is that kind of person!" ”

Xu Lingyi knew what she was referring to.

On the sense of guilt. He didn't believe it.

But intellectually, there is no evidence. He had to be suspicious.

This kind of thing. It's uncomfortable to think about.

Xu Lingyi didn't want to talk to Eleven Niang more.

"Sleep! If there is anything, I will talk about it when he returns. ”

Also. It's unfounded to say anything now. I don't know until Xu Siyu comes back.

The days quickly approached late June. The lotus flowers in Biyou Lake are in full bloom. The courtyard is filled with lotus flowers, and the fragrance of evening flowers is extremely strong.

People came from Rongzhou to discuss the dowry.

The wealthy family marries a daughter, and there are a lot of rituals. He also pays attention to raising his head to marry a girl. Bow your head and marry a daughter-in-law. In addition to being reserved, there are also family affairs that can be discussed for three or five years. Count the days agreed with the Shao family. At this time, it is also time for the two families to sit down and discuss the marriage.

When the family affair reaches this level, it is not a woman's business. has Xu Lingyi and the stewards of the outer courtyard. Aunt Wen was very nervous, and repeatedly checked the dowry list with Dong Hong. I'm afraid I'll miss something.

Eleven Niang calculated an account. Xu Lingyi first took out 20,000 taels of silver, and then added 10,000 taels. You can see the dowry prepared by Aunt Wen for Sister Zhen'er. I don't have four or fifty thousand taels of silver, but I'm afraid I won't be able to take it. In addition, Xu Lingyi also prepared about 20,000 taels of silver for Sister Zhen'er. Sister Zhen is pregnant, as if she is a little rich sister.

She couldn't help but secretly think in her heart, Xu Siyu, Xu Sixuan, Xu Sijie, plus the one that was still in her stomach. How much does Xu Lingyi have to spend to complete these tasks!

Taking a spare time, Eleven Niang went to the palace.

The eldest princess looks pink and jade. Lively and lovely, the emperor and the queen love it like a treasure, and they are often anti-normal. There is no separate palace room for the upbringing of the grandmother. Instead, he followed the queen mother in Kunning Palace.

When the eleventh mother went, the eldest princess, who was more than one year old, was being led by the queen mother and was practicing walking.

The queen excused her. And to the side hall to talk "such a hot weather, and such a heavy month. What's the matter with you, just send Mr. Xu into the palace and tell me. 、

Mr. Xu. It's Xu Lingkuan.

Eleven Niang thought that the queen mother and the second lady had a good personal relationship, and the second lady was a more direct person, so she smiled and said: "I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, where do I dare to work for the fifth master."

The queen mother was really not annoyed, and laughed. Let the palace maid bring her a brocade to sit on. He also instructed the female official Huang to bring lotus seed and lily soup to Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang thanked her. Half sat on the brocade, ate lotus seed and lily soup, and said the meaning: "...... Sister Zhen is about to discuss marriage with the Shao family, and I want to thank you. Rewarded the first set of Fu Lu Shou Sanweng.

"What's the matter, I want you to go to the palace." The queen smiled. I'll take a closer look in the storeroom. Find three statues that are not big. But the craftsmanship is exquisite. ”

It was in line with Eleven Niang's mind, and the expression on Eleven Niang's face was a little looser.

The queen mother looked at her and nodded secretly, and pulled her parents, and the topic naturally turned to pregnancy and childbirth: "...... It's the beginning of October, right? Master Hou's heirs are difficult, and Doctor Liu is coming to me, so I will count my days. There is a Peng family in the palace. She was the one who gave birth when I gave birth. She also knows a little bit about medicine. I look good. I left her in the palace for the time being. It's ready to be used for you when you give birth. When the time comes, let her deliver you. Don't worry about the nurse. When the time comes, choose two or three good-looking people in the house to serve. ”

As he spoke. There is an attendant from the crown prince's side.

"Congratulations to the Queen. The crown princess is happy.

"Ah" The queen mother and the eleven mother were surprised. Niangniang even laughed. These two children, the relationship is so good...... "I hope that Eleven Niang can change the baby this time." ”
