Chapter 529: The Gap (Part II)
Luo Zhenxing's aunt Wang respectfully served the tea, stepped back lightly, and thoughtfully closed the door.
"Why did you come here all of a sudden?" Luo Zhenxing picked up the teacup and took a sip gently.
"I just came from the fourth sister." Eleven Niang held the teacup and stared at Luo Zhenxing's eyes, "I heard the fourth sister say that I invited the eldest brother to come forward and talk to the people of the Zhu family." ”
Different from the usual gentleness, Eleven Niang's eyes revealed a rare seriousness, which surprised Luo Zhenxing.
"The fourth sister did tell me about it." He muttered, "However, I want to hear what the second uncle means." I have already written a letter and sent it to Shandong. ”
Luo Zhenxing's actions were as calm as ever.
Eleven Niang's heart was slightly relieved: "The seventh brother-in-law once promised the seventh sister, if the seventh sister's knees are empty, she can inherit a child from our sisters and raise it under the name of the seventh sister......" She told Luo Zhenxing in detail about the causes and consequences. Luo Zhenxing frowned when he heard this: "Does the second uncle know about this?" ”
"I don't know if the second uncle knows about this." Eleven Niang said, "The fourth sister knows. Now that the seventh sister asked the seventh brother-in-law to fulfill this sentence, we haven't met with the seventh brother-in-law, and we don't know what happened to the Zhu family. The fourth sister asked me to tell Hou Ye again, if the matter of the Zhu family is reported to the government, let Hou Ye come forward to suppress it. I don't think this matter is appropriate, I haven't told Master Hou yet, so let's discuss it with my eldest brother first. ”
Luo Zhenxing thought for a while and said, "You did the right thing." Don't tell Master Hou about this for the time being. When the second uncle's letter comes, I will talk about it after I have met the seventh brother-in-law. If the fourth sister goes to you again, you might as well talk to her directly. ”
Eleventh Niang responded and said: "The fourth sister is angry this time, and the second uncle has always felt sorry for the seventh sister, after all, we are juniors." Big brother, do you want to talk to your father about this? Passing the fourth sister's young son to the seventh sister, how will we explain to the people of the Yu family at that time. The second uncle and the fourth sister are now angry, and they are inevitably biased, but we can't let them go. Trying to repay the favor is insulting in the end. ”
"Not bad!" Luo Zhenxing nodded slightly, "After all, this matter is a matter of the second room, but when it comes to us, we will return, and it is unreasonable to say it." But if Ren Qiniang messes around like this, she will not only have a gap with the Zhu family, but even with the rest of the family. On the second uncle's side, he had to ask his father to come forward. After speaking, he thought for a while and said, "In this way, I will write a letter, the Xu family can use the post station in the army, and you ask the Xu family to send the six hundred li to Yuhang urgently." Be sure to ask the second uncle to come forward to take care of the seventh sister. If not, invite your father to Yanjing. ”
"Then I'll grind ink for my eldest brother, right?" Without further ado, late will change. Eleven Niang stood up.
Luo Zhenxing is also a pragmatic person. I went to the study with Eleven Niang.
got the letter, and Eleven Niang immediately said goodbye.
Luo Zhenxing sent her to the door: "Seventh sister, you often go to see her these days." She has never suffered such grievances, and her heart is also bitter. You enlighten her, and she feels more comfortable. ”
"Big brother, don't worry!" Eleven Niang was helped into the carriage by Mother Song, "I know what to do." ”
Luo Zhenxing nodded, and his eyes Eleven Niang left.
Aunt Wang had been standing behind him with her eyebrows lowered.
As soon as she returned to the lotus, Eleven Niang immediately instructed Mother Song to find Manager Bai, and hurried back to the main house.
I didn't see my mother for most of the day, and as soon as I saw my mother, Brother Jin'er's big phoenix eyes immediately burst into Eleven Niang's arms with tears in their eyes.
Eleven Niang smiled and hugged her son: "It would be great if you could call me 'Mother'!" ”
Brother Jin looked at Eleven Niang with wide eyes, looking very confused.
Eleven Niang smiled, kissed her brother's cheek, and spoke to him gently: "My mother is not at home, are you obedient or disobedient?" ”
Brother Jin covered his mouth with his little hand and smiled, as if to say, "I won't tell you".
Eleven Niang smiled: "The answer is not what you asked." I don't know if I understand it! He sat on the kang with Brother Jin.
Mr. White is here.
Shi Niang sent a letter to him: "There are some important matters over there in the bowstring alley, and I want to send a letter to Yuhang for 600 miles." I know that Master Hou has always had a clear distinction between public and private, and this matter is a little difficult to handle. But please ask Mr. Bai to help arrange the arrangement. ”
The implication is to ask Mr. Bai not to tell Xu Lingyi.
Some things are meant to be hidden.
Manager Bai smiled and said "yes", took the letter and retreated.
Eleven Niang went to change clothes.
She didn't want Xu Lingyi to get involved in this matter.
I thought that I could convince Siniang, so that Qiniang would have no one to support, and some words might be able to be listened to. Now Siniang has such an attitude, Luo Zhenxing asked her to persuade Qi Niang, and her words are against her ears, maybe she will persuade her, but it will backfire and make Qi Niang disgusted. If you want to say to the left, Qi Niang has to go to the right......
In the flint lightning, she suddenly thought of the fifth lady Danyang.
Didn't she and Qi Niang talk about everything? Besides, her current brother is the heir. For the matter of succession, she and Qi Niang should have a common language...... And although the fifth lady is a little pampered, she is never confused in the face of major events. As long as it doesn't damage the reputation of the Xu family, even if she is ridiculed by her because of her mother's affairs, why not?
Having made up her mind, Eleven Niang hurriedly freshened up and went to the fifth lady.
The fifth lady was accompanying Sister Xin to play with the sandbag, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised when she heard it. Although the two of them smiled and groaned when they met, they were always like they were separated by a veil, and they couldn't get intimate, and Eleven Niang didn't come to her door for anything.
She greeted Eleven Niang at the door with a smile: "Why does the fourth sister-in-law have time to come to me today?" Seeing that she only brought a little maid, her heart sank, but the smile on her face did not decrease, "Why didn't you bring Brother Jin over?" Our sister Xin just likes to play with Brother Jin. He often told me that the sixth brother is not like the seventh brother, and he has to cry a few times if he is fine. ”
Since she came to beg the fifth lady, Eleven Niang was not ready to go around in circles.
Her fifth lady greeted her and said, "I just came back from my fourth sister, and Qi Niang is at the fourth sister." ”
"Ahh The fifth lady was surprised and delighted when she heard this, "This Qi Niang, I talk about her every day in vain." She didn't come to see me when she came to Yanjing. As she spoke, she saw that Eleven Niang didn't have a little joy, her expression couldn't help but be sluggish, and she said in a deep voice, "Is something wrong?" ”
Eleven Niang's jaw: "Let's go in and talk!" ”
The fifth lady nodded solemnly, and the two of them sat down in the inner room and sent the servants beside them.
"I went to see the Seventh Sister on purpose." Eleven Niang whispered everything that happened to the fifth lady.
The fifth lady looked at Eleven Niang in astonishment, and her mood was very complicated.
I didn't expect Eleven Niang to tell her all these contradictions in her mother's family, and asked her to help persuade Qi Niang.
But gradually, she felt some admiration in her heart.
Listening to this tone, Qi Niang is now a little paranoid. Eleven Niang is very good at extraordinary times, and she can be regarded as a brave and resourceful person.
"Are we inviting her to the house under the pretext of cleaning her dust? Or should I go with my fourth sister-in-law to visit Mrs. Yu? The fifth lady asked Eleven Niang.
Eleven Niang breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, the fifth lady promised to help her persuade Qi Niang!
"Let's go to the fourth sister to visit her together!" Eleven Niang said, "She is not in good spirits now, please come over, this and that one have to say hello, I am afraid that her body will not be able to bear it." ”
"Hmm!" The fifth lady said, "Then let's go tomorrow!" I also want to meet her and have a good conversation with her. ”
"Then entrust it to the fifth brother and sister!" Eleven Niang politely thanked her.
The fifth lady asked about Fang's greeting to Brother Jin'er: "...... What is it? One day, the fourth sister-in-law took it out and showed it to me. When we make a birthday gift, I will also ask for a copy. ”
"When you go to me, I'll show you!" Eleven Niang smiled, said a few gossips to the fifth lady, and got up to go back to her house.
Xu Lingyi is playing a game of peek-a-boo with Brother Jin. Seeing Eleven Niang coming in, she smiled and said, "Why did you go to Danyang again?" ”
"Qi Niang is here, talk to the fifth brother and sister." She smiled, "Then the two of us made an appointment that I would accompany her to meet Qi Niang tomorrow." ”
Xu Lingyi was not suspicious and said, "What is the current situation of Aunt Seven?" I heard that Zhu Anping is now in Jinan Mansion. ”
"So wait for Zhu Anping to pick it up!" Eleven Niang smiled, "I may be more diligent in the past few days!" ”
Xu Lingyi didn't doubt it, "um", and said, "Zhu Anping is going to Jiangnan in a few days." You left her in Yanjing, so as not to find Zhu Anping again when he came, delaying the time to go to Jiangnan. ”
Seeing that it is coming to the winter solstice, Zhu Anping is still going to Jiangnan, and it seems that this matter is quite important.
This is really a house leak and even rainy.
At this time, there was a succession.
"Hou Ye, don't worry!" Eleven Niang secretly sighed in her heart, "There is also the fourth sister!" ”
Xu Lingyi didn't ask any more.
The next day, Eleven Niang and Fifth Lady met at the paid meeting and went to greet Mrs. Tai together.
The Third Lady and the Fang Clan arrived early. The third lady sat on the big kang by the window of the inner room, muttering, not knowing what she was talking about. Mrs. Tai looked calm and leisurely, drinking tea, and telling the little maid to feed the black and water the flowers, as if she was absent-minded and listened casually.
Seeing Eleven Niang and Fifth Lady coming in, the Third Lady immediately stopped the topic, stepped forward and saluted the two of them, and under the pretext of handing over the expense account book of Brother Jin'er's first birthday to the back office, she took Fang Shi to retreat.
The fifth lady immediately went to Mrs. Tai and hugged Mrs. Tai's arm: "Mother, what is the third sister-in-law coming to you for?" ”
Mrs. Tai said lightly: "Praise Brother Qin'er's daughter-in-law for being sensible, and she doesn't need to teach any rules - she wants to rush back to Shanyang!" ”
Eleven Niang smiled slightly.
The fifth lady said hurriedly: "Then do you agree?" ”
"I was about to agree." Mrs. Tai said, with a bit of banter in her eyes, "As a result, you are here, and this matter will naturally be over." ”
The fifth lady covered her sleeves and smiled.
Then the two went to Siniang's place.
Siniang saw that the fifth lady was slightly uncomfortable, and when the fifth lady went to visit the seventh lady in the wing, the fourth mother couldn't help but whisper to the eleventh lady, "Why did you tell the fifth lady?" ”
