Chapter 306: Meeting (Part II)

"The eighth day of April is the birthday of the Buddha, and there will be Buddha bathing and fasting meetings in major monasteries, and we haven't been back to Yanjing for many years. April is a good time for the wind and the sun, and I want to take the children to go shopping and open their eyes. I don't know if Mrs. Tai will go out for a walk then? Mrs. Xiang asked Mrs. Xiang with a smile.

"The eighth day of April?" Mrs. Tai dragged out the last note, and glanced at Eleven Niang inquiringly, "I usually go to the Medicine King Temple to worship." However, in April this year, Yuan Niang's removal ceremony will be held, and I don't know if I will be able to spare it at that time. ”

In addition to the ceremony is April 19, no matter how busy it is, it will not affect the birthday of the Buddha on the eighth day of the fourth month, not to mention that Mrs. Tai is an elder, and there is absolutely no elder to participate in the sacrifice of the younger generation. Mrs. Tai's actions were completely asking what Eleven Niang meant.

Mrs. Xiang came with an unkind face, but it was to re-mention the marriage between the two families, which inevitably made Eleven Niang want to deviate. felt that Mrs. Xiang was forced to insist on a helpless move. She doesn't have ideas. Originally, the child's marriage should be decided by the parents, even the grandfather and grandmother can only suggest that it is inconvenient to intervene directly, but out of filial piety to the elders, if the grandfather and grandmother set the family affairs, the parents will generally obey. Mrs. Tai acted like this, clearly handing over the decision-making power to herself.

She thought that Mrs. Tai had clearly expressed her hope to marry the Xiang family before, and thought of Xu Lingyi's attitude, so she decided to let Mrs. Tai discuss with Xu Lingyi. After all, this is related to Xu Siyu's future, which situation is better for Xu Siyu, they understand the situation, are thoughtful, and have more say than themselves.

"I've been busy these days, and in two days, it's the full moon ceremony of my fifth sister's family...... "Eleven Niang said apologetically, "If it weren't for Mrs. Xiang talking about the eighth day of the fourth month, I would have forgotten about it." After speaking, she looked at Mrs. Tai, "Mother, if you have any arrangements, just tell me, and Master Hou can arrange carriages and horses for you." ”

The decision was given to Mrs. Tai.

After all, Mrs. Xiang has been in office with Master Xiang for so many years, and she usually socializes with the family members of Lord Xiang's subordinate bosses, so she can naturally understand this off-string sound.

She lowered her head and sipped tea in small sips, looking light-hearted, but loose on the outside and tight on the inside, listening to what Mrs. Tai had to say.

And Mrs. Tai was slightly stunned when she heard Eleven Niang mention Xu Lingyi at this moment.

You know, because of the recurrence of the Xiang family, they all thought that this marriage was stopped, who would have thought that Mrs. Xiang would visit in person and offer to see each other. Not only did the mother and son not sit down to discuss it properly, but they didn't even know each other's opinions on this matter, and Eleven Niang was not a person who would take Xu Lingyi out to talk about things for no reason, which made Mrs. Tai can't help but think - did Xu Lingyi think that the Xiang family took Qiao, so she changed her mind?

The thought flashed, and Mrs. Tai couldn't express her position.

She smiled: "It's still early, let's make a decision when the time comes!" Then he told Mrs. Xiang about Mr. Xiang's appointment: "...... I don't say a word about how I walked. You also know that your aunt and grandmother have become more and more deserted in recent years. She didn't say a word. If I hadn't heard from Master Hou, I wouldn't have known that my uncle had already set off! ”

When Mrs. Xiang saw that she took the initiative to mention this matter, the Xu family actually put it aside, and she was very unhappy. But when she thought of her sister-in-law's advice, she smiled patiently and entertained Mrs. Tai: "In those days, I was serving my sister-in-law, and the original master was old and returned to his hometown. The next time he comes back, he will definitely let him accompany Mrs. Tai to have a good conversation. ”

Mrs. Tai smiled and said, "When the time comes, I must listen to my uncle talk about the scenery of Huguang!" ”

Everyone gossiped a few words, and Mrs. Xiang got up and went to the second lady: "My aunt and grandmother also went to visit the patient, and now that my sister-in-law is safe and sound, I have to talk to my aunt and grandmother, so as not to worry about her." ”

"Uncle and grandma are really polite!" Mrs. Tai crooked and did not send off the guests, "It's not too late to stay and have lunch and go back!" ”

Mrs. Xiang said a few polite words, and was accompanied by Eleven Niang to the second lady.

The second lady was very surprised to see Mrs. Xiang coming.

Mrs. Xiang said with a smile: "Last time, I bothered my aunt and grandmother to visit the patient, but now my sister-in-law is better, so I came to thank my aunt and grandmother." By the way, Mrs. Tai has to be idle on the eighth day of the first month of April. We haven't been back to Yanjing for many years, and we want to go to the temple to visit, so that a few children can also see the Yanjing treasures, but I don't know which temple in Yanjing has the most incense now, and I want to have a companion with Mrs. Tai. ”

The second lady frowned slightly when she heard this: "Mrs. Tai has always only gone to the Medicine King Temple to worship. If the sister-in-law just wants to take the children to see the excitement, there is a bit of a deviation, and the lively ones are still Xiangguo Temple and Baiyun Temple. The sister-in-law also went there in her early years, and in the early days of April, the two families gave away free incense medicines, and the flow of people was like weaving. The eldest brother is not at home, and if the sister-in-law wants to go, I am afraid that it is better to bring more people. ”

Mrs. Xiang smiled when she heard this: "You also know that your eldest brother is not at home, so I want to be a companion with Mrs. Xiang." ”

The second lady did not make a sound, and her face was slightly worried.

Eleven Niang saw that the atmosphere was not right, and immediately took the opportunity to leave.

The second lady said a few kind words and sent Eleven Niang to the door.

Eleven Niang went to Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai was waiting for her.

"How?" Her old man took Eleven Niang's hand, "Do you think something is wrong?" ”

Eleven Niang relayed Xu Lingyi's words to Mrs. Tai, and said, "...... Marriage was originally a good friendship between the two families, but now ...... I am also afraid that the Xiang family will reluctantly marry the young lady, and once there is a gap between the husband and wife, I will be even more resentful. Thinking that the Hou Ye is thoughtful, and he is the master who acts outside, I am afraid that it will be deeper than I think. I want to ask what Hou Ye means! ”

A daughter-in-law can respect her son in everything, and there is nothing more pleasing to her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Tai's eyes narrowed into a curved moon with a smile: "You are right, you are right." You can discuss this matter with the fourth child! When the time comes, it depends on which temple you want to go to offer incense, you just need to inform me! ”

Eleven Niang is not ready to settle for the family.

The two families are relatives, and if the Xiang family has a heart, they can see each other anywhere. You can even invite the daughters of the Xu family to your home as guests.

The eighth day of the fourth month is a Buddhist event, and you can imagine the pomp and circumstance and the flow of people on that day. She didn't want Mrs. Tai to run around and work hard for the juniors.

"If my mother is going to go out to see this year, we will naturally go to the Yaowang Temple." Eleven Niang smiled, "Mrs. Xiang also said, I just want to take the child to see the excitement." In this case, it is the same everywhere you look. And lest you be crowded around with a large crowd of people! ”

This is more in line with Mrs. Tai's meaning. But she looked at Shi Niang's calm and watery expression, and couldn't help but be a little strange: "You don't want to go and see it?" As soon as the words came out, I was shocked to realize that Eleven Niang was different - although she was married to ** and presided over the middle feed of the Yongping Marquis Mansion, she was only a few years older than Sister Zhen after all, but she had never gone anywhere to join in the fun and look strange.

Wouldn't it be too calm?

"Why don't we go to Xiangguoji Temple this year?" The old man hesitated a little and said, "There will be a temple fair when the time comes......

These lively, Eleven Niang has seen too much. Even if some of them are not personal experiences, they have been seen in the media.

She said euphemistically: "People are crowded, and no matter how good the scenery is, it has changed." Not to mention so many things at home. ”

Mrs. Tai remembered that it was Yuan Niang's removal ceremony a few days later, and thought that she was not in the mood, and said, "Then we will go again next year!" ”

Eleven Niang responded with a smile, and instructed Lu Yun to prepare a table of wine and food for Mrs. Xiang in the kitchen, and a little maid came in and said, "The second lady and the uncle and grandmother of the Xiang family are here!" ”

So fast!

Mrs. Tai and Eleven Niang looked at the chiming bell in the house.

Less than half an hour.

As soon as Eleven Niang stood up and prepared to greet the guests, the second lady had already walked in with Mrs. Xiang.

"My sister-in-law just came back from her mother's house!" The second lady said with a faint expression, "There are still a bunch of things waiting for my sister-in-law to deal with at home." I'll go back today, and I'll say hello to my mother another day! ”

Mrs. Xiang also smiled and bowed to Mrs. Tai: "Come and greet Mrs. Tai in two days!" ”

Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Eleven Niang kept two sentences, and seeing that Mrs. Xiang had made up her mind, Eleven Niang and Mrs. Eleven sent Mrs. Xiang to the door of the hanging flowers.

The two of them returned to the lady's house in silence.

The second lady didn't mention the arrival of Mrs. Xiang, and kept accompanying Mrs. Tai to talk about some elegant things such as picking tea and planting flowers, and Eleven Niang guessed that she might have something to say to Mrs. Tai alone, and under the pretext that she had something to do, she resigned Mrs. Tai and the second lady and went back to their yard.

Mother Song had already taken back the small clothes for Wu Niang's son from the needlework.

Eleven Niang took one and looked at it.

It was so small, it was the same as an adult's clothes, with sleeves, collars, and trims, just as much, like a doll's clothes.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but unfold it one by one.

As he was talking, Xu Lingyi came back.

They bent their knees to salute her.

"What is this for?" He took his little coat and said, "For whom?" ”

Eleven Niang smiled: "I made it for the eldest son of the fifth sister!" ”

Xu Lingyi looked left and right with her clothes for a long time, and said curiously: "It's so small, can you wear it?" He also gestured on his body.

Eleven Niang didn't know either, and said with a smile: "It was made by someone who asked for needlework, so you should be able to wear it!" ”

Xu Lingyi nodded, and looked at it for a long time before putting it down.

Mother Song and the others hurriedly put away the little clothes.

Eleven Niang welcomed Xu Lingyi to sit down on the kang near the window, served a cup of warm tea, and told Xu Lingyi about Mrs. Xiang's intention.

Xu Lingyi frowned slightly when she heard this, and said, "What do you mean by mother?" ”

"Mother, let's discuss it!" Eleven Niang said, "However, I saw that my mother agreed with this family affair before." You see if you want to listen to your mother's meaning first. ”

Xu Lingyi said: "Since my mother said let's make up our minds, there is no need to ask my mother what she means about this matter." Daughters are like mothers. Mrs. Xiang disregarded the occasion like this, but she was afraid that no matter how docile this second lady of the Xiang family was, it would be limited. I think I'll put this matter aside for the time being! We are married, not enemies. Could it be that the two of them are playing with spears and their mothers are also tossing with them? At the end of the words, the words were cold.

The two disagree with each other, and it is indeed very troublesome.

Eleven Niang nodded and asked for his opinion: "Where is the mother?" ”

Xu Lingyi was about to speak, when the little maid came in and said, "Master Hou, madam, the second lady is here!" ”

Continue to ask for more votes......
