Chapter Seventy-Nine: Countermeasures (Pink Ticket 510)

Eleven Niang is in a very good mood. I went back to the house and found "The Chronicles of the Nine Domains of the Great Zhou", leaning on the big kang by the window to read it.

Holly beckoned Amber to speak outside.

I know that the marriage will not be done out of ten. Eleven Niang is still going to become a monk, and both of them feel very sad and don't know what to say. Looking at each other head-on, I saw Mother Xu and a few maid-looking people crowding Mother Du next to Mrs. Xu and walking in.

The two were taken aback, and Du's mother had already seen Amber and Holly, and greeted them with a smile: "Why are the two girls standing here?" What about Miss Eleven? ”

Amber and Holly hurriedly stepped forward to salute Du's mother, and said with a smile: "Our young lady is reading a book in the house, and we are afraid of arguing with young lady, so we come out for a walk." ”

"Oh!" Mother Du's eyes flashed slightly, and she said with a smile, "I was ordered by Mrs. Tai to bring something to Miss Eleven, and I also asked the two girls to say hello." The tone was very polite.

The people around Mrs. Tai, where did the two dare to slack off, Holly went to give it in person, Amber opened the curtain, and welcomed Du's mother into the house.

Mother Du saw that the flowers in the house and the long case were dotted with bluegrass and green leaves, and the arrangement was very elegant, so she couldn't help nodding secretly, and then looked at Eleven Niang, wearing a half-new and not old stone blue background plain makeup gown, lined with a plain face. Although the eyes are red, they are exceptionally crystalline.

She smiled and saluted Eleven Niang, and said, "Mrs. Tai said that the fan is finely embroidered, and I like it very much." It just so happens that the apricots at home are bearing, so let me bring some for Miss Eleven to taste. As she spoke, the little maid behind her handed over a box.

Amber on the side took the box, Eleven Niang thanked Mrs. Tai for her kindness, the two exchanged a few words, and Du's mother got up to say goodbye.

I sent apricots to ......

Eleven Niang felt strange and ordered Amber to open the box.

A box of green apricots, not much bigger than lotus seed rice, is unripe at first glance, and cannot be eaten at all.

Her face changed slightly, and she immediately instructed Amber: "Go and ask, what did Mother Du say to the eldest lady?" ”

When Amber heard this, she faintly understood in her heart and immediately went to Sango.

After a while, she turned back: "Miss, Mother Du didn't come alone, she came with Old Marquis Huang from the Yongchang Marquis Mansion." said that the old marquis Huang was entrusted by Mrs. Tai to propose marriage. The eldest lord has already agreed, and personally wrote the eight characters of the young lady's Shenggeng and asked the old marquis Huang to take it to the Yongping Marquis Mansion. ”

Eleven Niang was slightly stunned: "Could it be that what the fifth brother-in-law said is not true?" ”

"It's not." Amber shook her head gently, "Mrs. Tai just knew about this, so she sent Mother Du to see Mrs. Du." He also said that the Xu family is not the ungrateful and treacherous person. The two families have established a marriage contract, and they should abide by it. Let the eldest lady just prepare the dowry with confidence. When the Hou Ye comes back, he will get married. The eldest lady is very happy, and she is discussing with the eldest * grandmother about buying a dowry for the young lady! ”

Eleven Niang gasped.

It's not like she hadn't thought about it before. Since the emperor prevented the queen mother's family from entering the palace. On the one hand, it shows that the emperor now has the ability to stop it, and on the other hand, it also faintly shows the emperor's attitude towards the queen mother's family approaching the core political circle. She thought that Xu Lingyi was not at home, and the Xu family might not be able to see it. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Tai turned out to be a woman who didn't let her eyebrows go. Not only did he see it, but he also killed decisively and reacted immediately......

She, too underestimate the Xu family of Yongping Mansion!

Eleven Niang's expression gradually became a little solemn.

Holly was very happy: "God is pitiful! Master Hou did not disappoint our young lady. ”

What are these words?

Eleven Niang couldn't help frowning.

What the Xu family doesn't want to live up to is the glory of the family...... But thinking that Holly was kind enough, she swallowed the words that came to her lips.

Binju listened very much and nodded again and again: "Who said it wasn't." Hou Ye will only come back in May, but don't have any variables. Then he asked Amber, "Did you say that?" ”

Amber seemed to be a little distracted, and when she heard Hamaju ask her, she said "oh", and said vaguely: "Everyone agrees and I don't have any opinion!" ”

Binju was slightly unhappy.

Ever since Amber went to Shi Niang's house to show off, she hasn't been able to kiss Amber.

And Eleven Niang saw it in her eyes, but her heart moved slightly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I was reading a book when I went. It is "The Chronicles of the Nine Domains of the Great Zhou". Look at the cover is a little hairy, it should be a common sight on weekdays. He wore a half-new stone blue gown, and his eyes were red, as if he had cried. But his expression looked very calm. ”

Mrs. Tai couldn't help nodding slightly: "I didn't expect that she would be so calm at such a young age." I was still a little worried about her. Now it seems that it is redundant. ”

"How is it redundant!" Du's mother smiled, "You love her!" If she knew, she might be grateful. He added, "When I went, looking at the appearance of the Luo family, I should have known about it." At that time, when I said what I meant, the people of the Luo family were all happy. Like you, I'm a little worried about Miss Eleven. Who knew that when I met Miss Eleven, it was no different from usual. Not to mention anything else, just this cultivation is enough to be worthy of the Hou Ye. ”

Mrs. Tai bowed her head, and a little relief flashed in her eyes: "That's good, that's good." I only hope that after she marries in, she can abide by the way of women, teach her husband and children, and spread out for our Xu family. As he spoke, he asked, "What did the Luo family say?" ”

The eldest lady said that Miss Ten's marriage would be finalized in these two days. Don't worry, your marriage will go smoothly. ”

Mrs. Tai was a little surprised: "Miss Ten's marriage is already in sight?" ”

Du's mother smiled: "I listened to that tone, and I have already decided on someone." However, the eldest lady didn't say much, and I didn't want to ask too much. Why don't I send someone to inquire? ”

"No need." Mrs. Tai shook her head disapprerovingly, "She has always liked to pretend to be a ghost, so it's better for us to be nosy." The topic of the two gradually turned to Xu Lingyi's marriage. The day is set in such a hurry, but the number of etiquette cannot be less. Let the third child re-paint the small courtyard next to the landlord and make a new house. The furniture doesn't have to be beaten by the Luo family, and if you are in a hurry, you can't buy any good things. I remember that I also had a set of rosewood dowry. Just give it to them! When you arrive, you will see, where to plant some flowers and plants in the small courtyard, and hurry up while it is not yet summer. I heard that when the Luo family married the fifth lady, they were four maids and two rooms. In this way, I'm afraid that it will not be enough for Eleven Niang to come over. Yuan Niang's former person she wanted to stay, and if she didn't want to stay, she still worked in the original yard. You carefully pick a few clever maids and mother-in-law on the stove for her...... "No matter how big or small, you explain it very carefully."

The eldest lord over there has already sent someone to invite Lord Wang. Hearing that the Luo family wanted to get married in advance, and then thinking of the rumors about the Yongping Marquis Mansion in the past two days, he already understood a little bit in his heart, and smiled with the eldest master to set the date for May 12, and the day of marriage for May 20.

The eldest lady was very satisfied.

The eldest lord couldn't help but feel a little uneasy: "I've wronged Shi Niang!" ”

The eldest lady pursed her lips, did not say anything, and discussed the dowry of the two with the eldest master.

"Shi Niang's, it's like Wu Niang. Eleven mother, I want to give more. Although it is the same twenty-four, the quality of the things is a little better, and the loading is a little more...... lest she marry into the Xu family and be a bad person! ”

The eldest lord was too lazy to talk to the eldest lady about these trivial matters, so he only said: "You are in charge of these things." Just don't let people gossip! ”

The eldest lady hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't worry, master, you won't let people gossip." ”

Who knew that the next day, when the steward of the Wang family accompanied Lord Wang to get the dowry slip and went to the government to apply for the marriage certificate, the steward muttered in a low voice: "There is only one courtyard, a hundred acres of land!" The tone was very disdainful.

When the eldest lord heard this, his face turned purple with anger. said: "There is not only one girl in our family, neither will she lose any of them, nor can she lift them up to make others lose face." If you don't think it's good, then return our girl's eight characters! ”

The people of the Wang family didn't expect the eldest master to be so tough, and they were a little at a loss at that time.

Lord Wang's face was also very ugly when he heard this. He glared at the steward fiercely, and said coldly: "Am I a matchmaker or are you a matchmaker!" He also explained, "Miss Luo's acres are near Hangzhou Mansion, not near Baoding Mansion. I really don't know! Only then did the steward of the Wang family be suppressed.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but be gloomy when she knew.

Hangzhou is populated, there is very little land, and there is a twenty or thirty acres of land that is a solid family. is not as good as the north, and thousands of acres are not a problem at every turn. Look at this royal family. Not only less knowledge, but also less self-cultivation...... is no better than Qian Ming, and at a glance, you can know what the Luo family is giving. In contrast, he also has merit.

Eleven Niang thought happily in her suffering.

Speaking of which, she has a lot of her own troubles.

Looking at the current situation, there may still be some twists and turns in the marriage. But the Xu family dares to do this, and they must be a little sure.

Think of Mrs. Tai...... Eleven Niang faintly felt that she would definitely marry into the Xu family in the end!

She never takes chances and has to think about the people around her in advance.

When Wu Niang got married, in addition to the two companion rooms, the servants around her were all brought over. In the past two days, Da * Milk bought two maids and two people came in, and it is said that they are ready for Shi Niang. From this point of view, he can only bring four maids and two rooms to accompany the room...... In any case, the Luo family wants a bowl of water on the noodles.

It's still a question of who to bring there!

Eleven Niang deliberately asked Amber: "...... You say, what should we do? ”

Amber couldn't help but show some caution on her face.

She knew that this was a crossroads, and it was also an opportunity for her to serve Shi Niang with all her heart and soul for more than a year.

Although she said that she was rewarded by the eldest wife, Miss Eleventh of the Xu family would definitely bring herself over. But what about after you bring it over? How could the eldest lady turn her face for a maid and Miss Eleven? Moreover, she has been carefully observing Miss Eleven, and found that she is not just gentle and generous, as everyone saysβ€”her gentleness is alienated and polite, and her gentleness is low-key and forbearing. And what shocked her the most was that Miss Eleven never complained.

Whether she was treated unfairly or heard unbearable rumors, she was as calm as water, not in a hurry...... Speaking of which, Miss Eleven is just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl!

Whenever she thinks of this, Amber is faintly scared.

What would happen if Miss Eleven had a temper?

The thought was just a flash, she didn't hesitate for a moment, and said: "Sister Holly is twenty years old this year, and there are many things at home, and the eldest lady didn't think of it for a while, if you leave, I'm afraid that you will just pull a small match." Amber said frankly everything she could think of, "Sister Holly must be taken away." Hamaju serves the young lady very dedicatedly. Although Zhu Xiang didn't say much, but her aunt introduced her, I looked very good. As for Qiu Ju, although she is smart, she is a child of the family...... We went to Xu's house, and there were some things that she might not be able to inquire about. ”

It means that Holly, Hamaju and Zhuxiang are all loyal to her. Qiu Ju used to be able to help her inquire about the news because her parents were in the Luo family, but now that she has gone to the Xu family, her advantage is gone. If you want to eliminate five people, then eliminate Qiu Ju.

Very insightful.

However, a very important reason why she left Qiu Ju down was because she didn't want to put Qiu Ju in a dilemma at that time. After all, no one knows what will happen to her after she goes to the Xu Mansion? I don't know what the eldest lady will ask of her. If it was just to save Brother Zhen's life, that was what she should do, it's okay to say. I'm afraid that the eldest lady has some other ideas......

Sorry to disappoint everyone. Hee-hee...... Eleven Niang can't go to the temple!
