Chapter 347: Turmoil (Part II)
Lin Da*'s grandmother was stunned when she heard this.
"Marry far away, it's not easy to meet in the future, I want to stay for a few more years......" Eleven Niang told Lin Da * Grandma about the Xu family's reluctance to Zhen Sister, Lin Da * Grandma thought of Sister Hui, and naturally understood the Xu family's mood. Busy said: "I'll tell my brother about this." After Eleven Niang left, she immediately wrote a letter to her family and sent it to Cangzhou.
As soon as Eleven Niang returned to the house, Yan Rong followed.
"The slaves and maids have inquired about last night's events." She said in a low voice, "It was said that Aunt Qin was talking about the second young master in front of the Hou Ye. What do you say about the countryside of Le'an, it is not as good as Yanjing, and it lives in poverty; The second young master only sent a little maid to take care of him, and he didn't have a mother in charge, so I was afraid that I didn't know what to do when I encountered something. I want Master Hou to send all the incense secretions that the second young master left at home to serve. ”
Eleven Niang was slightly stunned when she heard this.
At the beginning, Master Hou listened carefully. Later, his face became a little uneasy. said that the second young master went to study, not to enjoy happiness. What do you want so many people to serve? Aunt Qin saw that Hou Ye was unhappy, so she hurriedly knelt down to admit her mistake to Hou Ye. Hou Ye's face softened a little, and he called Cui'er to help serve and change clothes. Aunt Qin thought about the second young master's marriage again. said that the second young master was a few days older than the eldest lady, and the lady had been wholeheartedly helping the eldest lady find her mother-in-law's house these days, and she also brought Aunt Wen to discuss. There is no news about the second young master's marriage. Now the second young master has gone to Le'an to study again. Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher. Parents are far apart, so they naturally respect their teachers. With the second young master's appearance, character, and family background, I am afraid that he will be the same for a while in Le'an. If he was remembered by the poor Xiucai who was good friends with Mr. Jiang, if Mr. Jiang refused because of his bad feelings, and decided on his family affairs in a daze, wouldn't it delay the future of the second young master. Ask the Hou Ye to tell the second young master the right daughter sooner no matter what......"
Is Aunt Qin really worried or fake worried? Xu Siyu is not the death of both parents. Even if Mr. Jiang wants to be a matchmaker, he has to talk to Xu Lingyi no matter what. How could you take the liberty of agreeing?
When Eleven Niang listened, she raised her eyebrows.
When Hou Ye heard this, he threw the handkerchief in his hand into the basin and splashed Aunt Qin's face with water. Saying that Mr. Jiang is something she can criticize. also asked Aunt Qin, is she dissatisfied with the second young master going to Le'an to study? Still dissatisfied with the fact that the lady helped the eldest lady get engaged first? Yanrong said, took a few steps forward, leaned into Eleven Niang's ear and said, "Aunt Qin was so frightened that she didn't even dare to wipe the water droplets on her face." As if thinking of the scene at that time, she pursed her lips and smiled before continuing, "Seeing that Aunt Qin was speechless, Master Hou was so angry that her face turned blue, and she told Cui'er to clean up the east wing and go to the east wing to rest. Aunt Qin panicked all of a sudden, knelt on the ground and hugged Hou Ye's leg and cried, and said that she was too worried about the second young master, so she said these nonsense.
Aunt Qin had a handful of snot and tears, and the Hou Ye frowned when he saw it, so he let the apricot blossom pick up Aunt Qin and go out by herself. Cui'er chased after her, knelt on the ground to help Aunt Qin intercede, and Hou Ye simply went to Banyuepan......"
As he was talking, a little maid came in and said, "Madam, Aunt Qin is here!" ”
And that's not even the time to say hello in the evening!
Eleven Niang asked the little maid to call her in.
Aunt Qin's eyes were red and swollen, and when she walked in front of Eleven Niang, she knelt down in front of Eleven Niang: "Madam, I was blinded by oil and said some nonsense, and I ask you to ignore the villain, for the sake of the second young master, forgive the slave and maid for coming back!" After speaking, he knelt on the bluestone brick and wanted to kowtow.
Yan Rong quickly grabbed Aunt Qin: "Auntie, what's wrong?" When you come in, you don't say anything about it, and you kowtow. Even if there are 10,000 times the grievances, how can you let our wife be the master with you! ”
Aunt Qin didn't get up, but she didn't want to kowtow again, and looked at Eleven Niang with teary eyes: "I watched the prince get engaged, and the eldest lady's marriage also has eyebrows, only the second young master is still alone, worried about his marriage." So when Hou Ye went last night, he said a few inappropriate words, which annoyed Hou Ye. Madam, Hou Ye respects you the most, please see that I have not read and do not know reason, help me to ask for mercy in front of Hou Ye. ”
actually asked her to help speak in front of Xu Lingyi...... Eleven Niang was speechless for a while.
Aunt Qin wanted to kowtow again, but was stopped by Yan Rong.
"Madam," she said hurriedly, "I was originally served by the side of the Hou Ye, and the grace of Madame Montay and the grace of the Hou Ye can carry my aunt, and I have long been satisfied." What's more, now that I am a person who sits on the sidelines, it is long overdue to break the red and green. Master Hou annoyed me, it was my fault, and I can't exaggerate it. I'm afraid that the Hou Ye will think that the second young master is also a person who has no rules because of me...... Madam, as long as Master Hou doesn't annoy the second young master, I don't complain about what you want me to do. ”
Eleven Niang was a little surprised.
Aunt Qin is telling herself that she only has Xu Siyu in her heart, as for Xu Lingyi's favor or something, she doesn't care anymore?
Eleven Niang thought of Brother Qin's rejection of her when she first met Aunt Qin, thought of Aunt Qin's respect for herself when she first entered the door, and thought of her overstepping greeting on that rainy night...... A strange feeling rose in my heart.
"Get up!" The quiet hall suddenly remembered Xu Lingyi's voice.
Eleven Niang hurriedly gathered her thoughts and bent her knees to give Xu Lingyi a salute.
Xu Lingyi didn't look at Aunt Qin, who was kneeling on the ground, and instructed Yanrong: "Let's all retreat, I have something to say to Mrs." ”
Yan Rong bent his knees and looked at Aunt Qin. Aunt Qin looked at Xu Lingyi with a cold face, her eyes darkened, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she retreated with Yanrong.
Eleven Niang poured Xu Lingyi a cup of tea: "What is the important matter of Master Hou!" ”
Xu Lingyi's expression eased: "It's nothing!" lest she weep and weep here. "Don't mention it anymore, Yi Yi and Eleven Niang went to Mrs. Tai's for dinner. After coming back, I didn't go to Aunt Qin's place, and read a book on the kang in the inner room of Eleven Niang. Eleven Niang didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, thinking that he went to Banyuepan in the middle of the night last night, and today Aunt Qin came to kowtow to herself again, and didn't want to get involved, so she sat on the kang while making shoes for Mrs. Zhou, and sat with her.
At the beginning of the year, Eleven Niang felt that her eyes were a little astringent, and Xu Lingyi suddenly stood up: "I'm over!" ”
Eleven Niang's mind turned around before she understood.
She put down the work in her hand: "Master Hou go slowly!" ”
Xu Lingyi's footsteps paused, as if explaining, and as if talking to herself: "Since she came to give you a confession, how can I give you some dignity." ”
Eleven Niang looked at his distant back thoughtfully.
Aunt Qin came down in public to apologize for her sins, and begged her to help intercede, if Xu Lingyi didn't go to Aunt Qin tonight, I'm afraid that the next day someone wouldn't say that she was jealous, they would say that she was narrow-minded, and there might even be rumors that she had no weight in Xu Lingyi's heart.
Aunt Qin really knows Xu Lingyi very well!
The next day, Xu Lingyi rested in Eleven Niang's house, and Aunt Qin met Eleven Niang since then, and her attitude was a little more respectful than before.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Within a few days, Lin Da*'s eldest brother and Shao Zhongran's father went to Yanjing to discuss the details of the marriage with the Xu family.
Xu Lingyi asked the outer courtyard to pull out 10,000 taels of silver and give it to Eleven Niang, which was used to buy part of the dowry of Sister Zhen'er. Eleven Niang handed over the money to Zhu Xiang and handed the account to Aunt Wen: "...... There is not much money, and it can be done decently if it is used properly. You help to watch the point, don't spend money and don't do good things. ”
This is Xu Lingyi to buy some ornaments for Sister Zhen'er, and the land and real estate are purchased by the steward of the outer courtyard. Three, five thousand taels can already be done beautifully, let alone ten thousand taels of silver. But Aunt Wen thought that she was a concubine at that time, and some of the things that her mother had saved could not be used, and now she has money in her hand, so if she doesn't spend it on Sister Zhen'er, can she still take it to the coffin?
Thinking that Shi Niang was doing things fairly, she hesitated for a moment and hesitated: "The Wen family is in business, and they come and go in business. If the lady can be trusted, but I introduce a few shopkeepers to me, I don't want them to help with much cheaper, at least the price is clearly marked and not fooled. "In the end, I still don't dare to mention the matter of private money. He added, "After all, Zhu Xiang is a girl's family, cheeky, unlike me, I grew up in a businessman's family, and I am a woman's family, so I can talk to the shopkeepers of those shops." I think it's better for me to take care of the money, and Miss Zhuxiang to take care of the accounts. What do you think? ”
Sister Zhen'er's dowry is not only related to the dignity of the Xu and Shao families, but also to Sister Zhen'er's life after marriage. Since Aunt Wen is a typical businessman, Eleven Niang believes that she still has this trade-off. Without much thought, Eleven Niang nodded and agreed, but still warned her: "Auntie must be careful, so as not to make any mistakes, not to mention the face of the Xu family, it will also hurt Sister Zhen'er's heart, and let her be a bad person in the Shao family!" ”
The smile couldn't be concealed on Aunt Wen's face: "Although the slave maid has small eyes, she also knows that this is a big deal. It won't spoil the eldest lady's business! ”
Eleven Niang ordered Zhu Xiang to hand over the 10,000 taels of silver tickets pulled out from the outer courtyard to Aunt Wen on the spot, and signed and drew a seal. As soon as she returned to the house, she called Qiuhong and Donghong in.
"Dong Hong's handwriting is good, you come and write a few red and gold-sprinkled posts, I want to buy a dowry for the eldest lady!" There was a joy in his tone.
Qiu Hong and Dong Hong couldn't help but look at each other a little at first glance, and when they came to their senses, they both showed surprised expressions: "Hou Ye agreed!" ”
"It's not Master Hou." Aunt Wen smiled and took a sip of the teacup with a happy expression, "It's Madame who agreed." She said, slightly touching, "Madame is really neat and tidy. She thought of Xu Lingyi's scrutinizing gaze when she looked at her, "It's not like ...... It makes people feel uncomfortable in their hearts. ”
Not like whom?
With a vague word, it must be Aunt Wen's person who is not easy to talk about casually.
