Back in the lotus, Eleven Niang went to greet Mrs. Tai first.

Mrs. Tai smiled and crooked on the big kang near the window, watching Xu Sizhen and Xu Sijie play with the big red apple to tease the toddler Sister Xin. The room was full of laughter and excitement.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but wonder.

The fifth lady has always not liked Sister Xin and Xu Sijie to play together, how can she ...... today?

The thought flashed, and Xu Sijie had already pounced: "Mother, mother!" ”

Eleven Niang hurriedly collected her thoughts, smiled and touched his head. looked up and shouted "Mother" to Mrs. Tai.

"It's back!" Mrs. Tai smiled and sat up straight.

Xu Sichen left Sister Xin and ran over: "Mother, why did you come back so late?" There was a hint of coquettishness in his tone, "You didn't listen to us play the flute today—we learned a new tune from Mr. Zhao today." ”

"Really?" Eleven Niang bent over and looked at Xu Sizhen with a smile, "I'm so embarrassed." I went to see Mrs. Gantai. I didn't listen to your new tunes. Why don't you blow it to me early tomorrow morning? ”

Xu Sizhen wanted to blow it to Eleven Niang immediately, but he couldn't help but hesitate when he heard the words, but Xu Sizhen said that Eleven Niang said anything, clapped his hands and said, "Okay!" All right! Xu Sizhen couldn't insist, and nodded reluctantly.

And Sister Xin'er, who was still surrounded by people just now, saw that her surroundings suddenly became deserted, and she couldn't help but be confused. First stood there and looked sideways at Mrs. I, who was looking at Eleven Niang with a smile, and then looked back at the nurse who was standing with her hands down, and finally her eyes fell on Eleven Niang, who was surrounded by Xu Sizhen and Xu Sijie, and her mouth was flattened, and she cried with a "wow" sound.

Everyone was stunned.

Sister Xin'er's nurse had already taken three steps and made two steps forward and hugged her: "Sister, sister, sister......" coaxed her softly.

Only then did Eleven Niang find out that the fifth lady and Mother Shi were not there.

Sister Xin is the fifth lady's first child, and her health is not very good, so the fifth lady takes her more and more closely, and usually does not leave her left and right. If it is inconvenient to bring something with you, I will also send my most trusted mother Shi to serve on the side......

No wonder the three children played together.

I don't know what urgency the fifth lady has?

After thinking about it, Sister Xin had already twisted her body and shouted "brother" to Xu Sichen, looking like she was clamoring for him.

Seeing this, Xu Sichen hurriedly ran over and took Sister Xin'er's hand.

Sister Xin quieted down, lay down on the nurse, and sobbed quietly.

"Oops!" The nurse smiled, "It turns out that our sister's favorite is the fourth young master!" There was a hint of flattery in his tone.

Xu Sizhen lowered his head a little embarrassed.

Everyone laughed.

Eleven Niang stepped forward to salute Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai nodded with a smile, and pointed to the kang mat opposite her for her to sit: "Fuzhen is okay?" ”

"It's fine!" Eleven Niang sat down with a smile, and a little maid served tea, "Although the spirit is still a little sluggish, but the complexion is much better than before." ”

"She's young, and the days to come are still long." Mrs. Tai sighed slightly when she listened, "It's good to be able to slowly ease your breath like this." ”

Mrs. Tai is also a widow, so she naturally has a lot of experience.

Eleven Niang didn't want to make Mrs. Tai sad, so she changed the topic with a smile: "Why don't you see your fifth brother and sister?" ”

"She's having a fever." Mrs. Tai smiled, "I'm afraid that the illness will reach the child, so I will put Sister Xin in my house for a few days." ”

No wonder several children play together.

The medical conditions in ancient times were so poor. The slightest chill can kill someone.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but worry: "What did the doctor say? Does it matter? ”

"Doctor Liu is saying that it will be good to take a few pairs of medicines." Mrs. Tai smiled, "I sent Mother Du to take a look." said that after taking medicine, I was sweating all over. Just rested. ”

"Then I'll go see her tomorrow!"

As he spoke, the laughter of the children came from the sound of silver bells.

Eleven Niang and Mrs. Tai couldn't help but follow the prestige, and saw the three little heads together, you and I'm pulling a toy of a chicken pecking rice, and I played happily.

Looking at the innocent smiles of the children, the two of them couldn't help but smile.

Mrs. Tai took Eleven Niang's hand: "I'm old now, I just want to tease my grandson and enjoy Qingfu." In the future, if there are any guests at home, except for an old sister like Mrs. Huang, you can help entertain them. You don't have to bring it to me. ”

Eleven Niang was very surprised, but more, but moved.

She knew that Mrs. Tai didn't want to see the Yang family, but the Queen Mother was still alive after all, the Yang family and the Xu family were in the same social circle, and they didn't look down when they looked up, and they had to take care of more or less face-saving matters. This is also one of the reasons why she chose to avoid it when Mrs. Jianning Hou came to visit her. She wanted to give the Yang family a tactful reminder in this way. But she never thought that Mrs. Tai would support her like this, not only did she not have a little embarrassment or anger, but also handed over the Xu family's social rights to her.

"Mother!" Eleven Niang couldn't help but shake Mrs. Tai's hand back.

Mrs. Tai smiled and squinted her eyes and patted her hands: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this." What did you say about your afternoon at Fuzhen's place? What is the situation of the Gan family now? My husband and wife sent someone to ask me to make a post early yesterday morning, inviting me to my new home to listen to the play! ”

Eleven Niang needed Mrs. Tai to know, and she was not polite to Mrs. Tai, so she smiled and took Mrs. Tai's kindness in her heart, and picked up some interesting things to tell Mrs. Tai.

When Mrs. Tai heard that Mrs. Gan took the initiative to ask Mrs. Gan to save the morning and dusk, she nodded slightly: "The old and the old, the young and the young." If she can push herself and others, and do what she says, the Gan family will not be defeated. When I heard that someone had found the wedding shop to make up for them, I was even happier for them: "...... I have to thank King Shun well. Then tell him to see if there is such a business, and remember to take care of you in the future. The first two years of doing business were a bit difficult, and it was good to stay after these two years. ”

Eleven Niang responded with a smile, and saw Sister Xin yawning while laughing, afraid that she would not sleep well when she was excited to play with the child, so she got up with a smile and said goodbye.

Mrs. Tai thought that she had been a guest at someone else's house for a day, and she didn't keep her, so she asked Du's mother to send her and Xu Sijie out.

Back in the house, Xu Lingyi had already washed and rested, and was reading on the bed. When I saw her come back, I smiled and asked her, "How?" After talking to Mrs. Gantai for a day, are you in a better mood? ”

It was as if she had gone away in a bad mood.

Eleven sissy knots. But he looked at Xu Lingyi with a smile: "Friend, one of the five Lun." Sun Tzu talks about friends, the three who benefit and the three who lose, and they have a relationship for a lifetime, and they cannot be ignored. The concubine is just following the words of the sage, and when she went to see her direct friends and close friends, she was naturally in a good mood. ”

Xu Lingyi laughed when she heard this.

Eleven Niang went to freshen up and ignored him.

When she came out, Xu Lingyi still had a few smiles between her eyebrows, she pretended not to see it, blew the lamp and stopped, but was immediately hugged by Xu Lingyi in her arms.

"Silence, silence," he sighed softly, "little fool, don't bother yourself in the future. ”

Are you really too cautious?

Eleven Niang was very confused.

Two days later, Mrs. Zhou arrived unexpectedly.

"Mrs. Jianning Hou is coming to visit me." She sneered, "I made an appointment with you today to go to the wedding shop together, pick out some things, and hand them over to the princess." ”

Eleven Niang was not surprised.

Since Mrs. Jianning Hou came to visit her, she naturally went to visit Mrs. Zhou.

And Zhou Huiren saw that her expression was calm, and when her mind turned, she immediately understood: "She also came to see you!" ”

Eleven Niang nodded and said with a smile: "I'm the same as you, I avoided it!" ”

Mrs. Zhou snorted when she heard this: "I really think of myself as a thing!" I'm going to see what she can get! ”

Listening to that tone, it seems that I am very dissatisfied with what Princess Fucheng said about "going as a serious relative".

But after all, this is a private matter, Eleven Niang didn't want to inquire too much, and asked Mrs. Zhou: "Then do you want to go to Xipu to have a look?" ”

"I'm really looking for you to buy something." Mrs. Zhou said a few words, and her tone gradually calmed down, "I have two personal maids, who are very popular with me, and they will be released in the next few days, and they are going to buy them a full set of dowries, and they have served me with all their hearts and souls." ”

Her words made Eleven Niang's heart move, and she gradually had an idea.

If the maids in each province can be proud to be able to make a dowry in their wedding shop, then their wedding shop can be regarded as their own brand.

The more she thought about it, the more feasible she felt, and while thinking about finding an opportunity to discuss with Master Jian and the two shopkeepers, she freshened up, and after meeting Mrs. Tai with Mrs. Zhou, they went to the wedding shop together.

Mrs. Zhou lingered there for two hours, not only picking two dowries, but also buying herself a few square handkerchiefs. It can be seen that she is very satisfied with the embroidery of Xipu.

When she went out, Shi Niang thought that she would go back to the princess's mansion directly, but who knew that she took Shi Niang's arm: "Anyway, I came out in your name, so I simply quarreled with you - go to your house for dinner!" ”

Shopping, complaining, and indulging can alleviate the unhappiness in your heart.

Eleven Niang could understand her mood and said with a smile: "If you don't say it, I want to pull you back for dinner!" ”

"Then you're welcome!" Mrs. Zhou listened and smiled and went back to the lotus with Eleven Niang.

As soon as the two got off the carriage in front of the Hanging Flower Gate, Eleven Niang saw a small servant with the car next to Mrs. Zhou running over.

"Madam, Mrs. Jianning Hou is gone!" He gasped, "According to the old practice of entertaining relatives, the princess let Mrs. Jianning stand in the middle of the courtyard of the main hall to answer. The little guy said, a gloating smile blooming in his eyes, "Makes Mrs. Jianning Marquis angry...... The aunt next to the princess said that the relatives at home have always been like this, so you can't make an exception for her! ”

Mrs. Zhou laughed when she heard this.

While smiling, he also glanced at Shi Niang with some pride: "Our family is the princess's mansion." Entertaining Mrs. Hou has its own rules and decency for entertaining Mrs. Hou, and entertaining relatives has its own rules and decency for entertaining relatives. If she doesn't want to be Mrs. Hou's relative to the princess, she can only entertain her in the same way as a relative. ”

Eleven Niang only understood Princess Fucheng's intentions at this moment.

The princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, a royal nobleman, even the concubines are kneeling down when they see it, not to mention relatives!
