Wu Xiao's family was very dissatisfied when they heard Wu Niang's tone, and they were busy with a smile: "The eldest lady knows." It's just that Miss Wu didn't ask so carefully. ”

Wu Niang, who is usually so clever, changed her expression at the moment, and said solemnly: "Mother is the most particular, and she handed over this matter to the three of us." If there is a case, none of us can do anything. There are some things I can't help but say......"

Although Wu Xiaoquan is the head of the Luo family, Wu Xiaoquan's family is not on an errand in Luofu. Usually just follow the eldest lady's side, accompany the eldest lady to gossip, or help do some errands, the eldest lady seems to like to have such a person around her, although she is not as dependent as Mother Xu, but she also has a few trusts. Therefore, the Luo family gave her a few faces.

Eleven Niang listened to Wu Niang's tone of lesson, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart.

Everyone is acting according to the eyes of the eldest lady, and sometimes, Wu Niang is too urgent.

Like this thing. Wu Xiao's family talked about the appearance of the screen at the beginning, but Wu Niang objected and said a bunch of reasons for embarrassment. Later, Wu Niang asked "Does my mother know", and Wu Xiao's family said that "Mrs. didn't ask carefully"...... Everything is to tell Wu Niang euphemistically, the eldest lady knows about this.

She looked at Wu Xiao's family's smile with a hint of stiffness, so she interrupted Wu Niang's words and asked with a smile: "Mother Wu, the size of this screen won't change, right?" ”

Eleven Niang's interjection interrupted Wu Niang's lesson, and Wu Xiao's family was naturally happy to see it. Busy laughing: "If it's bigger, it looks clumsy; If it's smaller, it looks frivolous. It's not going to change. The tone was very gentle.

"Then sister, let's write according to this size first!" Eleven Niang looked at Wu Niang with a smile, "Now there are more than three months before the day of the birthday gift, we will start to do it first, and when the suitable wood is found, it is not too late to carve the screen base and make the screen frame." ”

Wu Xiao's family couldn't help but sneer in their hearts when they heard this.

Look at the eleventh lady of the family, gentle and polite, generous and generous, no one can be offended when she speaks and acts, that is called eight-sided exquisite. It's like some people, who think that they can make people laugh is that they can speak, but they don't know, most of the people who can talk don't speak, and those who can't speak are afraid that people won't know that she can't speak, and they will say something unreliable. It's like half a bottle of water rings, and a full bottle of water never rings...... I thought that the eldest lady liked it, so I really regarded myself as a young lady!

"That's exactly what it is." She echoed Eleven Niang with a smile on her face, "Those who make wood are the most powerful in Hangzhou, and they also have inventory at home, but they don't quite meet our requirements." In case it doesn't work, settle for the next best thing and put together a few pieces, and it's the same. ”

Wu Niang looked at the sarcasm that flashed in the eyes of Wu Xiao's family, and she was shocked, realizing that she had talked too much.

Then I felt secretly annoyed.

These evil slaves are just taking advantage of the power of the eldest wife, and even the young lady doesn't take it seriously...... Speaking of which, it's not because I'm not born to the eldest wife...... When Yuan Niang was at home, although she was young, she remembered some things clearly.

Once Yuan Niang thought that the bean paste filling in the rice balls was too sweet, and spit in the bowl after eating half of it. This Wu Xiao's whole family, eat it when you bring it up, and say with a sigh, fortunately, the eldest lady doesn't like to eat, and it is cheap for me. It looks like a dog wagging its tail.........

Her hands couldn't help but squeeze tightly together.

A little maid came in and said, "Fifth Miss, where is lunch?" ”

"I just talked, but I forgot to look at the clock." Wu Niang took a long breath, and the smile on her face became brighter. She pulled out her pocket watch and looked at it, "It's not too late. Let's stay for lunch! Then he instructed the little maid: "Go and tell the kitchen, Miss Eleven and Mother Wu are eating here with me, and I picked up two favorite foods and made them." ”

Thinking that the matter has not yet been decided, I don't know if I have prepared her meal when I go back to the eldest wife, and when I go back to my own house to eat, I will inevitably have to raise the fire and wash rice, so it is better to eat at Miss Five.

Wu Xiao's family smiled: "Then let the fifth lady break the bank." ”

Everyone eats public high school, and every meal is customized, and if you want to add dishes, you have to pay for it yourself.

Wu Niang smiled: "Don't worry, I can't eat poor." ”

Eleven Niang had a few hesitations.

The little maid hadn't left yet, and suddenly said, "Miss Eleven, are you worried that the things in your house have not been settled?" ”

Eleven Niang was secretly surprised when she listened.

She was really worried about what was going on in the house......

But I can't say it to Wu Niang.

I'm afraid she thinks she values Amber more than she does, even though it's true.

Wu Niang listened to it, and really set her eyes on Eleven Niang.

It's just that before Eleven Niang could explain, the little maid said, "Miss Eleven, don't worry." Sister Hamaju arrived early. Seeing that you and our young lady were talking, I didn't dare to reply. I heard her say, everything in your house Sister Holly has been arranged - the place where Sister Amber lives has been cleaned up, and the people have taken it back to the Green Tower, and she has also asked the kitchen to add vegetables to Sister Amber to pick up the wind. You can eat with us with peace of mind! ”

Her voice is crisp, articulate, and her speech is organized, and everyone's eyes can't help but fall on her, including Wu Niang.

The little maid was no more than eight or nine years old, and she had not yet left her head, but she had apricot eyes and peach cheeks, and was wearing a pale green cotton yarn jacket.

Wu Xiao's family looked like it and said with a smile: "Whose girl is this?" He looks good and has a clever mouth. ”

The maid smiled and bowed her knees, and introduced herself with a smile: "The slave maid is called Zhuo Tao, because Sister Qiuling is sick, the eldest lady ordered to send people home to recuperate, and Mother Xu arranged for me to take care of her shortcomings." Zhao Sheng in the account room is my brother. The slave maid arrived in the fifth lady's house and followed a few sisters to learn the rules, and then they knew how to advance and retreat. Don't dare to be a mother's compliment. ”

"Burning Peach!" Mother Wu smiled, "I look like this, it doesn't look like a peach, but like a willow!" ”

Zhuo Tao was very clever and immediately said, "Thank you Mom." The slave maid also thinks that this name is not good, so it is better for her mother to help pick one, so that the slave and maid can also be blessed by her mother. ”

Wu Xiao's family smiled in a few words: "This is not my business. You'll have to ask your young lady. ”

Zhuo Tao knelt in front of Wu Niang: "Please give the slave a name." ”

"Who did you learn this from?" Wu Niang looked like she couldn't cry or laugh, "The skin of the body is affected by the parents, and the name is the same." In my house, these are not allowed. And he said, "Let's go to the kitchen and pass the food!" ”

Burning Peach only responded, turned around and went to pass the meal.

Wu Xiao's family looked at her back and smiled: "This is really a response to 'not a family, not a family'." This maid is also a sharp-tongued woman. ”

******

After eating, Eleven Niang couldn't help but yawn.

Wu Niang was slightly stunned.

Eleven Niang said embarrassedly: "I'm used to sleeping at this time of day, even in winter." So I don't want to stay with my sister for dinner......"

The little unhappiness of the first eleven niang going back disappeared in wu niang's heart, and she smiled: "In this case, you can go to my bed and squint for a while!" ”

"Let Sister Ziwei make us a cup of strong tea!" Eleven Niang smiled, "It's still the matter of the screen." Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep soundly. ”

Wu Niang smiled and nodded, and went to the study with Eleven Niang and Wu Xiao's family, and asked Ziwei to make strong tea.

Everyone discussed some details, and Wu Xiao's family was going to report to the eldest wife: "...... so as not to make the eldest lady anxious. But he took the paper manuscripts that Wu Niang thought were the best.

Wu Niang saw it clearly, got up and said with a smile: "Then let's go together - just let my mother look at these paper drafts I have drawn, see which one she likes the old man likes, and which one the eleventh sister can embroider according to it." ”

Eleven Niang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The two of them fought in the ring, and they pulled her in.

However, she will not refuse such a meritorious service.

"I also want to know which one my mother likes best!" Eleven Niang smiled and went with them to the eldest lady.

In the distance, there are little maids to greet them and lift the curtains.

When I entered the door, I saw the eldest aunt and the second aunt sitting on the small pestle next to Luohan's bed, talking with the eldest lady.

The eldest aunt Duan and the second aunt Yuan were originally the eldest maids beside the eldest master, and after the eldest wife got married, she took the house and carried the aunt. The eldest aunt gave birth to the second mother and the third mother, and the second aunt gave birth to the second master. Erniang died when she was three years old, but Erye only lived for two days. Sanniang is not full-term, she has been in poor health since she was a child, and she has grown to fifteen years old, and she is called by the eldest wife, and she married a nephew from her mother's family, and she died of illness within three years, and she did not leave any children, so she had to pass the daughter of the concubine to her name.

Since then, the eldest aunt has eaten a long fast with the second aunt. The eldest lady also specially invited the chef to make a small stove for the two aunts. Because they are lay people at home, the two aunts have not served in front of the eldest wife for a few years.

Why did you suddenly talk to the eldest lady today?

Eleven Niang felt strange in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. With a smile, she followed Wu Niang to say hello to the eldest lady and the two aunts, and stood quietly half a step behind Wu Niang.

The two aunts were born early, but the eldest aunt's life is mellow and looks very kind, and the second aunt is born thin and looks a little harsh. But whether it was the eldest aunt or the second aunt, when they saw Eleven Niang, they all smiled at her.

The eldest lady looked at it and smiled: "But I helped you embroider a pair of Buddhist scriptures and offer them to Ci'an Temple, and you are happy when you look at her." ”

The eldest aunt smiled: "You are still willing to follow us to learn the scriptures, how can we not like it!" ”

Saying that, Shi Niang's face was slightly red and she lowered her head.

The eldest lady looked at Eleven Niang and smiled, very kind.

Wu Niang motioned to Wu Xiao's family to take out the paper: "We discussed a few things, and I want to ask my mother to help me get an idea!" ”

The other eldest lady of the eldest lady fell into a bow, took the manuscript of Wu Xiao's family and handed it to the eldest lady.

The eldest lady glanced at it and handed it to the eldest aunt on the side: "You can also help take a look, which one looks good?" ”

The eldest aunt took it, glanced at it with a smile, and said, "My wife knows me, and my eyes have become more and more bad in the past few years." Let's let the second aunt help take a look! ”
