Chapter 337: Visiting the Door (Part II)
After lunch, Eleven Niang asked Mother Song to send Qi Niang back to the guest room where Zhu Anping rested yesterday: "...... The brother-in-law traveled day and night, and only brought two guards. There is one less groomer around, but I'm afraid it won't look like it. The seventh sister went over earlier to help her brother-in-law clean up. ”
In front of so many people, she did not mention Xiangyun.
Qi Niang is smart and smart, she was just impetuous because she didn't have children, and everything didn't look good, let alone calm down and think about it. Now that I have Zhu Anping's words, a hanging heart has fallen, and some things that I usually ignore have come to my heart. She smiled and nodded, got up and said goodbye to Mrs. Tai: "...... Hou Ye pulled out the Cong Xiang Pavilion to us, and I am afraid that we will settle there before we buy a house. When it is cleaned up, I will invite Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Fifth and several nephews, nieces, and Sister Yun to come and sit down. ”
The husband and wife are reconciled, and they have their own beautiful scenery. Mrs. Tai is a transparent person. Sent the seventh sister out with a smile, and told Eleven Niang to take care of her, and then the fifth lady carried her back to the house.
Qi Niang pouted: "Xiangyun, I won't stay." What do you think about it? ”
This is her housework, and it is inconvenient for Eleven Niang to interfere. But when she thought of Xiangyun's kneeling and crying, she quite agreed with Qi Niang's decision. If it is unintentional, acting in a completely disorderly manner, and being a personal maid, if there is any contradiction between Zhu Anping and Qi Niang in the future, she is not only unable to persuade her, but she is afraid that it will add to the turmoil. If it's intentional, then it's even less concerning.
She said implicitly: "You still discuss with your brother-in-law what to do about this matter, right?" ”
Qi Niang still has this self-confidence. She smiled brightly and said, "What is there to discuss with your brother-in-law?" I just don't have a place to put her. You can't get rid of people in your house! Mrs. Tai knew that she thought I couldn't tolerate anyone. It's a waste of your reputation. As she spoke, her eyes lit up and she said, "Isn't the fourth sister sick?" Naturally, the more people she serves, the better. I'm living with you now, after all, a guest house. It's not convenient to bring too many people. It's better to send her to the fourth sister. When others hear it, they can't say what is wrong. ”
Yu Yiqing relied on the financial support of the Yue family to study with peace of mind and took the Tanhualang exam. The second wife sometimes can't help but feel a little proud when she thinks about it, but Siniang is more respectful to her husband than before. Once persuaded the second wife: "Kindness is not reciprocated." There are some things that my mother still forgot. ”
The second wife didn't listen to it, but Eleven Niang didn't know, but Eleven Niang listened to it. In addition, seeing Siniang sick in bed, Yu Yiqing respected Siniang as much as before, and was never dissatisfied with Siniang's poor service. Eleven Niang felt more and more that this fourth cousin she didn't know much about was not an ordinary woman. Since Qi Niang proposed to send Xiangyun over, she naturally believed that Si Niang would be able to deal with this matter.
"Then let's talk to the fourth sister!" Shi Niang nodded, remembered another incident, and asked her: "Which shop is the most famous in your Ejiao in Shandong?" ”
Qi Niang smiled embarrassedly: "I was in a hurry this time, and I didn't think about it at all." I'll send someone to help you buy some in Jinan tomorrow! ”
"Yanjing doesn't sell anything." Eleven Niang smiled, "I'm going to give a gift to the Jiang family, and I want to borrow your name." ”
Qi Niang was puzzled: "What name do you want to lend me?" ”
Anyway, this is not a secret to the Luo family. Eleven Niang told her about Mrs. Jiang bringing Miss Jiang Jiajiu, who was going to marry her brother, to Yanjing: "...... It just so happens that you are here, by sending Ejiao to greet Mrs. Jiang, and to give the Jiang family a chance to tell our family about Mrs. Jiang's arrival. ”
Qi Niang was very interested when she heard this: "In this way, Brother Zhen is about to get married?" ”
"How can it be so fast!" Eleven Niang smiled, "It's good to settle this matter before autumn." ”
Qi Niang smiled when she heard this: "There is authentic Shandong Dong'e Ejiao for sale in Huaide Hall on West Street. I've eaten it, and one of the flavors I ate when I was in Gaoqing. ”
Eleven Niang asked Yanrong to take the pair of cards and ask Mr. Bai to buy some back, and asked Qi Niang to help change it to the usual packaging in Shandong, and then asked Song's mother to send it to Jiang's house, and Qi Niang took Mu Fu to Amber to receive Xiangyun.
At dusk, Song's mother returned.
The Jiang family really took this opportunity to make their words clear: "...... Due to the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, relatives and friends did not move there. The past two days have just been better, and I was about to go over to say hello to Mrs. Tai, but it happened that we sent something over, so that Mrs. Tai and hello can be asked! ”
As he was talking, Lin Bo came over: "Master Hou said that Zhu Yan is accompanied by the fifth master." He went to Lin's house for some business, and he had to go out later. Came back late. So that Madame doesn't have to wait for the door. ”
Going to Lin's house for something? Could it be to see that Shao Zhongran? Where do you go after that?
Eleven Niang pondered.
But since Xu Lingyi didn't say it, she didn't want to ask Linbo, who was a little girl, smiled and agreed, went to Mrs. Tai, and told Mrs. Tai what the Jiang family had brought over, and decided to invite the Jiang family's daughters to a banquet on May 16, and Eleven Niang went back to write a post, instructed the kitchen to set up a banquet, and invited the opera troupe to sing in the hall, and was busy until the beginning of the year, Xu Lingyi had not come back, and she rested alone without mentioning it.
Early the next morning, Zhu Anping and Qi Niang went to Laojuntang Hutong. Eleven Niang disposed of the family's affairs in the West Flower Hall, and then checked the summer clothes sewn by the sewing place for the servants in the house this time, and turned back to the Chuilun Water Pavilion, but she didn't expect to meet Xu Lingyi.
Except for a little wrinkle in his clothes, he looked no different than usual. But based on her previous experience, Eleven Niang felt that he must have not slept all night. The maid came in with ginseng tea, and then served him to change his clothes.
Xu Lingyi rolled up her sleeves and washed her face, and said with a smile: "I went to see the Shao Zhongran you said." Sure enough, it's a talent. There was a bit of appreciation in his tone.
Eleven Niang listened and became worried: "You didn't alarm the people of the Lin family, did you?" ”
Shao Zhongran still needs to be inquired. She preceded him in front of Xu Lingyi, but she just gave him a chance to let Xu Lingyi choose! But if Xu Lingyi's judgment is biased because of this, it is not what she wants to see.
"Even if you know, you will pretend not to know." Xu Lingyi smiled, "But that kid is much worse than the kid of the Li family." The Li family kid was calm and calm when he saw me. He stammered a few words at first. There was a smile in the words, with a little tolerance as if the elders were talking about the younger ones.
Eleven Niang laughed.
Thinking that Shao Zhongran was a teenager after all, if he could still remain calm when he saw Xu Lingyi, then some teenagers would be old.
She suddenly had the idea of taking a look at Li Ji.
I think it's a very good boy!
Xu Lingyi asked about the Jiang family: "...... What do you say over there? ”
Eleven Niang told Xu Lingyi the result agreed with Mrs. Tai.
Xu Lingyi has finished freshening up. The two of them walked out of the clean room as they spoke.
A little maid came in and said, "Steward Zhao from the back office asks to see him!" ”
Xu Lingyi changed her clothes and went to the hall to see Steward Zhao. came back and said to Shi Niang: "The Zongren Mansion has officially proposed to the Zhou family. On the day of Qintian's supervision, two days later, Geng stickers were exchanged. ”
"The matter has already gotten out, what if this doesn't match?" Eleven Niang thought of the excuse used last time Lin Mingyuan was rejected for marriage.
Xu Lingyi smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry, Qin Tianjian will definitely give the emperor a satisfactory answer." ”
Also. Otherwise, how can those fortune tellers solve it!
"Then I'll go to Zhou's house this afternoon!" Eleven Niang said, "It's good to push this matter earlier." ”
"It's good!" Xu Lingyi nodded, "It's a matter to finish something early." Then he instructed Eleven Niang, "I'll sleep, you don't have to call me lunch." "Didn't say what I did last night!
Eleven Niang made a bed for him, served him to sleep, instructed the little maid to guard on the side, and asked people to go to Huaide Hall to buy some Dong'e Ejiao, arrange carriages and horses, and accompany Mrs. Tai to Princess Fucheng's mansion after lunch.
The front of Princess Fucheng's mansion was as solemn and quiet as the last time she came. When Mrs. Zhou heard that she was coming, she greeted her in front of the door of the hanging flowers. Before she could speak, she smiled and said, "Marriage is for the sake of marrying two families." Now that our sister Fang can have the opportunity to serve the emperor's eldest son, it is also good to marry two families. ”
Eleven Niang breathed a sigh of relief, followed Mrs. Zhou and said a few words like "The two families still have fate", and then went to meet Princess Fucheng.
Princess Fucheng was talking to Sister Fang.
Seeing Eleven Niang, two crimson stripes immediately flew up on her cheeks. She bowed to Eleven Niang generously, but she was a little ashamed, she didn't talk like she had seen Eleven Niang before, and she bowed and retreated.
Eleven Niang saluted Princess Fucheng, first congratulated Sister Fang, and then held Ejiao: "My seventh sister came from Shandong and brought some local products. Then he chatted with Princess Fucheng for a few words, and then got up to say goodbye.
Mrs. Zhou sent her to the Hanging Flower Gate.
Eleven Niang told Mrs. Zhou about Qi Niang's coming to Yanjing for medical treatment, and asked her to help find a doctor.
Mrs. Zhou agreed, got up and said goodbye and went back to the lotus.
Xu Lingyi had already woken up and was leaning on the head of the bed in contemplation. Hearing the movement, he raised his head: "How?" But to make it clear! There was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"What do you want us to say!" Eleven Niang changed her clothes, told Xu Lingyi about going to Princess Fucheng's mansion, and then served Xu Lingyi to get up and went to Mrs. Tai's for dinner together.
When I came back in the evening, I just sat down, and Linbo came.
He brought a letter to Xu Lingyi. After reading the letter, Xu Lingyi burned the letter to ashes in front of Eleven Niang, and then said to Eleven Niang: "I have something to go out, if you haven't come back after the beginning of the year, you can sleep first!" ”
If you can't see the seriousness of the situation, Eleven Niang is a mallet!
She asked Xu Lingyi directly: "But what happened?" Looking at him, his eyes were as clear as water.
Xu Lingyi's eyelids drooped slightly and opened quickly, and she said lightly, "It's nothing", and then told her to rest early, turned around and left the water pavilion.
Eleven Niang couldn't figure out his strange appearance, and felt very unsteady in her heart, so Aunt Wen and Qiao Lianfang came to say hello. She left Aunt Wen to speak.
Since the last time Aunt Wen helped Eleven Niang settle the accounts, Eleven Niang would ask her to help every now and then. Aunt Wen guessed that Eleven Niang was fighting with those housekeepers in the house, so she borrowed her strengths.
Such favors are not sold for nothing.
She was silent before and after.
Qiao Lianfang's face was slightly gloomy.
These days, Aunt Wen often avoids her and comes to Eleven Niang alone, and it is when Xu Lingyi is not in the house......
She thought of the reason why Xu Lingyi didn't like Aunt Wen!
Then he smiled and bowed his knees and retreated.
