Miss Qiao looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with snow-white skin, bright eyes, rosy lips, and a quiet smile. Sit there quietly, as soft and delicate as a budding flower.

Feeling Eleven Niang's gaze, she turned her face slightly and showed a sweet smile.

Eleven Niang nodded slightly towards her, with a friendly attitude.

Everyone listened to Mrs. Qiao's chatter for a long time, and chatted a few more words, Mrs. Tai left everyone for dinner, and the eldest lady excused: "I just came, things are messing up at home, and I have to go to the two uncles' houses to have a look." It's rare for me to come to Yanjing, and I won't leave for a while, and I'll come to see you in a few days. ”

Mrs. Tai thought that her in-laws and daughter-in-law hadn't seen her for more than ten years, so she naturally had something to say, and she wouldn't keep her today. Said: "Today is fourteen or sixteen to come to the house, I will have a meal." ”

"Okay!" Before the eldest lady could speak, Mrs. Qiao opened her mouth first, "Those who see it have a share, and when the time comes, I will also come to join in the fun." As he spoke, he pulled Mrs. Tai's sleeve, "Sister can't help but agree." ”

Mrs. Tai glanced at the eldest lady and smiled at Mrs. Qiao: "You can come and help me accompany my in-laws, it's too late for me to thank you, why excuse me." ”

Mrs. Qiao smiled like a flower: "Then let's say it." ”

Mrs. Tai sent the eldest lady and Wu Niang and Eleven Niang out, but Mrs. Qiao and Miss Qiao stayed.

The eldest lady looked at Mrs. Qiao's back, and said with a smile to Aunt Wen who accompanied them back to Yuanniang to say goodbye: "This Mrs. Qiao is really enthusiastic. ”

Aunt Wen rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "The people in their house can speak well, and it is famous in the entire Yan Kyoto." Otherwise, how could it be jokingly called a 'tumbler'? ”

The eldest lady raised an eyebrow.

Aunt Wen said with a smile: "Our house has been in trouble, but the Chengguo Mansion has been smooth sailing, and it has not fallen through six dynasties. In particular, the grandfather of this generation, since the establishment of the military 41 years, has successively served as the chief soldier of Gansu, Ningxia, Baoding, Xuanfu, and Datong, and has a deep foundation in the Northwest Army. Not to mention our marquis, even the emperor is also very important. ”

The eldest lady was thoughtful.

Aunt Wen smiled and helped the eldest lady to get into the car: "Madame is only afraid that she is also worried about this matter, let's go back and talk to Madame, and let my sister relieve her boredom." ”

The eldest lady nodded and got into the car with Aunt Wen, but Wu Niang looked at the door of Mrs. Tai in a slight daze.

When she arrived at Yuan Niang, the eldest lady immediately asked Mrs. Qiao: "...... Are you acquainted with you? ”

Yuan Niang smiled and nodded, but asked Brother Zhen: "Where did Mrs. Tai stay?" ”

"Hmm." The eldest lady said a little absent-mindedly, "I saw that he had a good time with those little maids, and the lady stayed sincerely, so I didn't bring him back." ”

I think there are some things that can't be said in front of my brother!

Yuan Niang smiled slightly.

Over there, Aunt Wen smiled and said, "Sister, guess what, we met a few young ladies of the Qiao family at Mrs. Tai?" ”

Yuan Niang laughed teasingly: "Your mother's family and the Gong family are mortal enemies, Gong has a daughter who married into the Jiang family, who knows the matter of the Qiao family better than you?" ”

Aunt Wen covered her mouth and smiled.

The eldest lady was confused.

Aunt Wen explained with a smile: "In my grandfather's generation, the Gong family in Bantang in Yangzhou was a family that went hand in hand with our family, and they all started from the salt industry. peers are jealous of each other and have become enemies. Our two families have been fighting for so many years, and they know each other well. The Gong family has a daughter who married into the Jian'an Jiang family as a daughter-in-law, and the Jian'an Jiang family is Mrs. Qiao's maiden family. That's why my sister said that.

The eldest lady was moved: "Jian'an Jiang family? Is it the Jian'an Jiang family who is 'one door and four jinshi, and the ancestors and grandchildren are old'? ”

Aunt Wen nodded, and a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes: "It is the Jian'an Jiang family that is out of Jiang Rong and Jiang Tong, the two elders." ”

The eldest lady was slightly stunned.

"The official eunuchs, no matter how glorious the ancestors are, there is no Jinshi who is inferior to the descendants of the descendants, and the defeat is just around the corner." Yuan Niang glanced at Aunt Wen lightly and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, the Jiang family has not produced a Jinshi for two generations, so why not our family?" ”

The eldest lady's smile went from her face to the bottom of her eyes: "Your brother is angry. ”

"Who's to say it's not." Aunt Wen smiled proudly, "Twenty-two-year-old lifters, even if they are full of Zhou, I can't find a few." When he gets off next year and wins the emperor's list, he will be a young jinshi. Blessed are you, Madame! ”

"Accept your auspicious words," the eldest lady couldn't hide her joy, "I hope Brother Xing can shine on the lintel." ”

"Definitely!" Aunt Wen smiled and flattered, but Yuan Niang suddenly asked her, "Which room is the sixth lady of the Qiao family?" ”

Aunt Wen's body shook slightly, and the smile on her face was a little reluctant.

I didn't mention that the Qiao family came from the first few young ladies, but Yuan Niang could say that the Qiao family came from the sixth lady......

She didn't dare to think deeply, and said with a smile: "It's the eldest daughter of Sanfang, but Sanfang only has this one daughter." Her father and Grandpa Guo are brothers of the same mother. ”

Yuan Niang nodded slightly.

Aunt Wen showed hesitation on her face.

Yuan Niang saw it in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. didn't notice Aunt Wen's strange appearance, and looked at Wu Niang and Eleven Niang with a smile: "I can't get up to entertain guests, the two younger sisters are just the age when they are young and fun-loving, and listening to us talk to them can't help but be depressed." Aunt Wen, you can accompany Wu Niang and Eleven Niang to the back garden for me! The phalaenopsis orchid that the queen enjoyed a few years ago should be in bloom! ”

Wu Niang hurriedly said: "Sister, don't worry about me. I listened to my mother and sister talking, and I thought it was funny. On weekdays, at home, I often gossip with my mother. Besides, I'm a quiet person who doesn't like to move! ”

When she spoke, Shi Niang had already stood up, and when she saw Wu Niang sitting, her face couldn't help but show a little embarrassment.

Aunt Wen had no choice but to laugh twice, and said earnestly: "The two in-laws should accompany me to have a look-it is said that the two pots of phalaenopsis rewarded by the queen are tributes from Fujian, and only thirty plants have survived in total, and ten pots each in Qianqing Palace, Cining Palace, and Kunning Palace." Our family is good, the emperor rewarded a pot to the Hou Ye, the Queen Mother rewarded a pot to the Mrs. Tai, the Queen Mother rewarded a pot to the second lady, a pot to the third lady, two to our wife, and a pot to the fifth lady, counting, I got seven pots...... It's all kept in a greenhouse in the back garden, and I haven't seen it yet! ”

Wu Niang suddenly came to her senses.

Yuan Niang is trying to get away from them and talk to the eldest lady.

For a while, her face was full of crimson, she got up and saluted Yuan Niang and the eldest lady with Shi Niang, and followed Aunt Wen to the conservatory in the back garden.

The maid who had been by Yuan Niang's side also made a gesture to the people serving in the house, and then led a group of maids and daughters-in-law to retreat quietly.

When the eldest lady saw that only their mother and daughter had been removed from the house, her eyes immediately became moist. She took her daughter's hand: "Master Hou treats you well!" The tone was a little cautious.

Yuan Niang smiled and nodded: "Master Hou is a nostalgic person, treat me very well." ”

The eldest lady was a little unconvinced: "That, that thing ......"

Yuan Niang smiled: "I'm like this, if it weren't for his help, how could Aunt Wen be low in front of me." Mother, Hou Ye is a very good person. Mother don't have to be suspicious. It's just that my life is thin, and I can't grow ......old with him."

The eldest lady burst into tears when she heard this: "Don't say that." Didn't the queen help you find a home remedy among the people? This big river and lake, the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, and the alien people can come out in large numbers. Blessed are you, and nothing will happen. will definitely be able to become auspicious in times of trouble, and turn evil into good fortune......" but didn't notice that when her daughter sighed and couldn't grow old with her son-in-law, she didn't have a little bit of Qi Rong.

Yuan Niang smiled slightly, her expression was very calm: "As my mother said, I will definitely get better." Mother, don't be sad. "I don't know if I'm comforting myself or my mother.

The eldest lady cried a few times, and was afraid that it would make her daughter sad, so she forcibly wiped her tears and said with a smile: "By the way, what does that Mrs. Qiao mean?" I listened to Aunt Wen's words, the Qiao family is not simple. Hou Ye, he ...... What can be revealed? ”

Yuan Niang smiled: "Mother, you just don't believe in your daughter, don't you still believe in your grandfather's vision." Hou Ye is not that kind of person. Otherwise, there are only these few people in the family! ”

The eldest lady just cares about it. After listening to her daughter's words, she couldn't help but smile: "I'm relieved that he's good to you." ”

"Mother," Yuan Niang changed the topic as if she didn't want to talk about these things anymore, "Why did you bring Eleven Niang too." She's too young this year. ”

The eldest lady remembered the purpose of her visit.

Her face turned pale, and she said, "You wrote to me and asked me to bring my two younger sisters to Yanjing to see you." It's a vague statement, but I know what you mean. It's just that there are some things that you don't know as well as I do. Among the school-age daughters in our family, there are only five mothers and ten mothers. That Yang is a splash settler, and he can do anything. If she was chosen by the Xu family, she would have done everything she could do with herself and taking poison. When the time comes, we will not only eat rice, but build a strong enemy...... Don't forget, in case ...... She's a rightful mother! ”

Yuan Niang didn't make a sound, and she couldn't see her emotions when she lowered her eyelids.

"Wu Niang is a good candidate. Besides, she has a fourth child over there. In the past few years, I have lost a lot of money for him, and before leaving, I found another thing for him to do. I look, and that's pretty much it. Even if she wants to help her in the future, she has to be able to help it. In the end, it's up to your brother. Eleven Niang has no brothers, and Qingtong is a coward. Although he is a little younger, you don't know how delicate it is when you look at those eyebrows. Besides, being young has the advantage of being young......" said the eldest lady's voice, "It is common for the body and bones to grow up, and the heirs cannot be saved." Once it becomes a habit, it is even more difficult...... I thought about it, and felt that Eleven Niang was better than Wu Niang, so I took the initiative to bring Wu Niang and Eleven Niang. As she spoke, the eldest lady smiled, "Of course, you still have to make up your mind about this matter." The Xu family's side disagrees, and it's also a threshold! ”

"I can naturally trust my mother's vision." Yuan Niang raised her eyelids and laughed, "And I don't know my sister very well at home." I only blame me for not explaining this to my mother. However, this is only better! ”

The eldest lady was stunned.

Yuan Niang whispered to her mother.

(There was another power outage...... I don't know when the call will come! In the unit, I sent a draft first, and then changed the text when I called. The sisters can only do that! ）
