Chapter 556: The Winner (Part II)

Eleven Niang was busy sending the dumplings, realgar wine, and wormwood sachets of the Dragon Boat Festival to each house, and there was news from Huzhou.

“…… What Fang Ji and Fang Shi said was the truth. Xu Lingyi's expression was a little satisfied, "The son of the Huo family is a single heirloom of three generations. Mrs. Huo was a little crazy because of this. The rumors of Fang Shi Kefu also became more and more intense. Although there are also people who don't believe in these strange powers, the Fang family either dislikes people's shallow knowledge, or they dislike people's ordinary character. The Fang family's marriage was delayed in this way. When the third sister-in-law went to ask for marriage, the people of the Fang family felt that they were not as good as the previous ones. Mrs. Fang was afraid that she would pick it again, and she wouldn't even be able to find Brother Qin'er. I hurriedly responded to this family business. ”

Eleven Niang breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Xu Lingyi: "Let's go and tell my mother." ”

When Mrs. Tai heard this, her whole body relaxed.

Eleven Niang suddenly understood—it turned out that Mrs. Tai also hoped that the Fang clan was not lying.

"Since that's the case, it's the Dragon Boat Festival in two days, you give a post to Mitsui Hutong and let their whole family come for a meal."

At that time, Mrs. Tai hinted again that with the cleverness of the Fang family, she should turn around and give a message to Fang Ji, and when the elders of the Fang family came to the door to accompany the crime, this matter was revealed, what should everyone do.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask Xu Lingyi on the way back: "Third master, what are your plans?" ”

"I mean, let the third brother rest for a few days, and then visit his relatives and publicize the reasons for his resignation. And then he still came back to help us with the chores. Xu Lingyi smiled bitterly, "My mother disagreed." said that the third brother also married his daughter-in-law and became a father-in-law, instead of detaining the third brother at home to help take care of these trivial things, it is better to let him open a shop outside or do some sales, and he also has a face in front of his daughter-in-law, and can straighten his waist and do me. I thought about it carefully, my mother probably felt that the third brother resigned and lost the face of the Xu family, so she wanted to be cold to him. There is no reluctance. "The implication is that in a few days, I still want to ask the third master to come back to help manage the housework.

Eleven Niang thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Master Hou, you think it's very boring to deal with these chores every day!" ”

"With my money, let alone this big family. Even you, I can't support it! Xu Lingyi said with a smile, "If it weren't for these granges and shops, how would the family be able to live?" I just earn it too trivial. ”

Euphemistically admits that he is unwilling to manage the affairs of the house.

No wonder you want to push it to the third master.

Eleven Niang pursed her lips and smiled.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the third master brought the whole family to greet Mrs. Tai early in the morning.

As soon as Mrs. Tai got up, Du's mother invited them to drink tea in the hall.

After waiting for a while, Xu Lingkuan and the fifth lady arrived with Sister Xin and Brother Xu.

When everyone saw the ceremony, Fang took out two colorful sachets from his sleeves: "This is made by sister-in-law, for you to wear and play." ”

Colorful sachets are not rare, but it is a bit rare to have two small fish of red gold falling under the sachets.

Fortunately, the fifth lady has seen the world, and she can afford this gift, so she smiled and let people accept it, and asked Sister Xin to thank Fang's family.

The third lady looked very unsightly, and stopped talking, so she snorted coldly and turned her face sideways.

The third master was also a little surprised.

Sending Fang's handmade sachets to the children as a meeting gift, this is Fang's back and forth. Chadomido doesn't have many days, and now he is idle at home, and he can save a little. He was in favour of it. But I didn't expect that there would be a small fish with red gold falling under this sachet, look at that appearance, it is hollow, and it will take five points to succeed. If it's solid, I'm afraid there will be two or three. It's better to buy some good wine and send it over.

The third master shook his head secretly, feeling that the Fang clan would not fight the family.

Fang's own plans.

The mother-in-law wanted to follow Mrs. Tai to serve in the Yaowang Temple but was driven back, but now she called their family to go to the Dragon Boat Festival. She was thinking in her heart, the girl who married off during the Dragon Boat Festival was going to return to Ning, if the Xu family was still worried about Kefu's affairs, she could have called only the two brothers Sanye and Xu Siqin. Now that she has been called, it means that the lotus side does not hate her as much as she thought before.

In this case, she should be more respectful to the lotus. It's just that she wants everything in the lotus, she thought about it for a long time, and thought that when she was a child, an elder had rewarded her with a few small red gold fish, and she was very rare at that time, so she drew a pattern according to her memory, and asked the housekeeper's mother to go to the silver building to call.

She smiled and looked at Sister Xin'er: "It's just some gadgets, my sister likes it." ”

The little fish was beautifully made, and the scales and whiskers were clearly visible. Sister Xin liked it very much and nodded again and again.

Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang came over with the children.

Fang followed the three ladies and saluted, and each of them gave a sachet.

"I have it too!" Xu Siyu was a little embarrassed.

"If you don't get married, you're a child," Fang said with a smile, "It's a child." ”

The fifth lady covered her mouth and smiled: "Our second young master has also reached the age when it is time to say goodbye." He said to the other party, "Do you have a sister or in-law with outstanding appearance and character, and also help our second young master find someone who is both talented and beautiful." ”

Fang smiled reservedly: "We grew up with our grandmothers, and we don't know many girls of the same age, let alone younger than me. When the time comes, I'll ask my eldest brother to help me say hello! ”

Speaking of Fang Ji, the fifth lady "pouted": "Wouldn't Fang Tanhua spend the Dragon Boat Festival alone?" Why don't you invite Fang Tanhua over for dinner? Everyone is also lively! ”

Fang Shi was stunned for a moment and looked towards Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang helped Brother Jin undress: "I hugged him all the way, why is he so hot!" "I didn't notice their conversation.

Fang's expression darkened, and he was about to politely excuse himself, when Mother Du came out: "Mrs. Tai, please come in and sit." ”

The conversation was interrupted, and everyone went back and forth into the inner room.

Mrs. Tai stretched out her hand to hug the youngest brother, and joked with a smile: "Come to greet me so early, are you in a hurry to go back to your parents' house?" ”

Since the fifth lady was pregnant with Sister Xin, she ended the habit of staying at her mother's house for half a day and her mother-in-law's house for half a day.

She pouted: "Mother-in-law is really getting worse and harder to serve." It's too late, and it's not filial. I came early, and I said I wanted to go back to my parents' house soon......"

"Did you talk to your mother-in-law like that?" Before the fifth lady finished speaking, Xu Lingkuan had already glared.

"Alright, alright." Mrs. Tai smiled, "You don't have to defend your daughter-in-law, I won't talk about her." ”

made Xu Lingkuan cry and laugh.

The fifth lady smiled triumphantly.

Brother Jin saw that Mrs. Tai hugged Brother Xu'er and didn't let go, twisted his body and shouted "grandmother", and he also wanted Mrs. Tai to hug him.

Mrs. Tai smiled: "Good, good, good." One on the left, one on the right. It's all the meat of my grandmother's heart. ”

Brother Jin sat down on Mrs. Tai's left lap, and then stopped.

Mrs. Tai handed Brother Xu'er to the fifth lady: "You go early and come back early." I'm waiting for you to come back for dinner. Only then did he raise his eyes and glance at the third master and the third lady, "You guys should go back too!" Then he looked at the Fang family with a smile, "You, like your fourth aunt, married from Jiangnan, it is not easy to go back to your mother's house." Your fourth aunt is also going back to Gongxian Hutong today, although your eldest brother is in Yanjing, he is no better than your fourth aunt, who has his own house in Yanjing. You will spend the Dragon Boat Festival with your second aunt today with my old woman! ”

Fang Shi was stunned for a moment, and quickly lowered his head and answered "yes".

His voice was a little choked.

The third lady looked at her face blue and red for a while.

As soon as she shouted "Mother", Mrs. Tai waved her hand at her, signaling that she didn't need to say more: "Go back!" He no longer looked at the third master and his wife, kissed and kissed his brother, and instructed Xu Sichen: "Come back early to accompany your grandmother." ”

Xu Si hurriedly responded "yes".

Mrs. Tai reluctantly let go of Brother Jin.

* * * * * *

Coming back from Gongxian Hutong, Fang's family, the second lady, and Du's mother were playing leaf cards with Mrs. Tai.

"Why did you come back so soon!" Mrs. Tai's eyes are not good, holding cards, but the person playing cards is a jade version, so she just raised her head and talked to Eleven Niang.

"Aunt Wang is pregnant." Eleven Niang said, "It's not good to quarrel with her." Came back after lunch. ”

"Oh!" Mrs. Tai simply handed the card to the jade version, "Aunt Wang is pregnant, and Grandma Luo is not in Beijing, you have to send some supplements to the past." ”

Eleven Niang smiled and responded "yes", except for the older Xu Siyu and Sister Zhen'er, who was becoming more and more stable because of the approaching marriage date, several other children pounced on Mrs. Tai, chattering "grandmother" and making Mrs. Tai happy.

As he spoke, the fifth lady's family came back.

"Why did you come back so early?"

"Am I not thinking about you?" The fifth lady said coquettishly, "Who knew you were having fun!" ”

Sister Xin saw that Xu Sizhen was following Mrs. Tai, and shouted "grandmother, grandmother".

Mrs. Tai smiled and hugged Sister Xin to sit on the edge of the kang.

Fang's got up hurriedly and gave up his position: "Second Aunt and Mother Du both think I'm slow to play cards, so Auntie come and sit with me!" ”

The Fifth Lady really went over and pushed the Fang clan aside.

Xu Lingkuan went to pull her: "You are an elder, how can you grab a place with your nephew and daughter-in-law!" ”

"Oh, why did I grab it, it was given to me by my grandmother."

Over there, Sister Xin and Brother Jin fought for Mrs. Tai's arms, one tightly hugged Mrs. Tai's waist, and the other tightly hugged Mrs. Tai's neck, and Mrs. Tai screamed "oops". The house was bustling. I sat down again in the east room and opened a table of mahjong. A few children were scurrying up and down on the ground. There was laughter. When the third master and the third lady came back, Du's mother asked people to set up dinner. The first dish is longevity noodles.

Everyone congratulated Shi Niang on her birthday.

Mrs. Tai gave a sapphire ring, the second lady gave two bottles of perfume, the third lady gave Zhang Xu Siqin's calligraphy and paintings, the fifth lady gave a red coral hairpin, and several children also gave some scattered things.

Fang was surprised, glanced at Xu Siqin, and said with a smile: "Auntie didn't say a word. If I had known that, I should have brought something with me. As he spoke, he got up and gave a blessing to Eleven Niang, "Auntie's birthday gift, I will send it over tomorrow morning." Please don't be surprised! ”
