Qiuhong and Donghong pretended not to hear it, one smiled and said, "Auntie, you see which shop stewards we are going to write posts", and the other smiled and said, "We don't understand these things, do you want to ask Mother Song for a list to buy according to it", Aunt Wen smiled and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, Mrs. said, the two families are married, and the Xu family only made one request, that is, to wait for the eldest lady to be sixteen years old before marrying." The Shao family agreed without thinking about it. We still have a few years to go! Thinking of this, her heart came alive, and she felt that this day was suddenly much better. The next day, he showed the list of dowries to Eleven Niang: "Do you see it!" ”

Eleven Niang left the list: "I'll show Mrs. Tai again!" ”

Aunt Wen smiled and told Eleven Niang about the posts she had given to the shopkeepers of several shops, drank half a cup of tea, and got up to leave.

Xu Lingyi came out of the inner room: "How did you hand over the matter of purchasing things to Aunt Wen?" If you really want to use her, let her take care of the accounts! ”

"Let Aunt Wen try it, if you can't manage it, you can talk about it!"

There is a difference between inside and outside, after all, this is a matter of the inner courtyard, Xu Lingyi heard Shi Niang say this, and he didn't say much, and sat in the hall with Shi Niang and talked about Sister Zhen'er: "...... The Shao family invited Marquis Lin to be a matchmaker, and on our side, I want to invite Zhong Qinbo. What do you think? ”

Both of them are highly respected ministers.

"Master Hou has thought it through." Eleven Niang smiled, and a little maid came in: "Madam, Princess Fucheng has a post for the eldest lady over there." said that the eldest princess of the emperor was going to get married in the autumn, and wanted to take advantage of these days to hold a summer banquet at home and invite a few close friends in the boudoir to enjoy the lotus. ”

In a few days*, someone will come to guide Sister Fang'er in court etiquette, although this is not a difficult thing for Sister Fang, but it is not convenient for relatives and friends to see Sister Fang.

This is also the last party of the girl's family.

Eleven Niang nodded in response: "...... If the eldest lady wants to go, let Mother Song accompany her when the time comes! ”

Sister Zhen'er's marriage is now known to the whole house, Sister Zhen is shy, hiding in the house and refusing to see anyone, even a few days ago Sister Hui came to invite, but she didn't go. Thinking that in the future, Sister Fang will enter the palace, and she will marry in Cangzhou, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have a chance to meet in this life. She was ashamed of Eleven Niang, and was accompanied by Mother Song to Princess Fucheng's mansion.

Xu Lingyi came back and said to Eleven Niang: "I went to Zhongqinbo's mansion, Zhongqinbo has been sick for more than a month, and Mrs. Gan politely resigned about the matchmaker." ”

Eleven Niang has only seen Zhongqinbo once from afar, and he looks like he has been hollowed out by wine.

"I didn't hear of it last time Madame Gan came." She frowned slightly, "Uncle, is there nothing wrong?" ”

"I heard that it was a hot day, so I drank two more bowls of cold mung bean water, and I had some diarrhea." Xu Lingyi said, "Although my spirit is not very good, I can speak quite clearly." It should be fine! ”

The situation of the Gan family is very complicated, the prince and his wife have been guarding against Mrs. Gan, and now that Zhongqinbo is sick, I am afraid that Mrs. Gan's life will not be easy.

Eleven Niang was a little worried about Mrs. Gan.

"Master Hou, should we go to visit the patient together?"

Because the sick is Zhongqinbo, the female relatives usually don't have to come forward, but the two families are relatives, and she is a little uncertain.

"No need!" Xu Lingyi said, "I've already been to visit the sick. As he spoke, he thought of his friendship with Mrs. Gan, and said, "If you're worried, send a mother over to take a look!" ”

Eleven Niang sent Mother Song to send two bottles of Turtle Deer Immortal Gum Pills to Mrs. Gan.

Mother Song was very embarrassed when she came back: "...... The prince was serving in front of his uncle's bed, and Mrs. Gan hadn't seen her uncle for some days. When I went, I happened to meet Mrs. Shizi's mother, who came to ask Mrs. Gan for incense and candles, saying that my uncle was sick these days, and the house was lit day and night, and the incense and candles were not enough. That breath, I look a little overstepping. Seeing that you had brought something to her, Mrs. Gan was so excited that her eyes were wet. Also asked how are you doing? Did you move back? Said that when the uncle is better, she will thank you again! ”

Eleven Niang was silent.

This loyal and diligent uncle is not dead. If this is dead......

Mother Song looked at Shi Niang's face was not good, and then she realized that she was speechless. With a smile, he took out a one-inch-high, three-inch-wide red lacquered gold box with a small copper lock from his bosom and came out: "Madam, this is what Madame Gan asked me to give you." Say it's some of her little things, and ask you to help her put them first. ”

Eleven Niang was taken aback.

Could it be that Mrs. Gan has already felt something, and she is leaving her hands behind.

She took the box quietly.

Mother Song grew up in the Gongqing's house since she was a child, and she had never seen or heard of it, so she added pointedly: "When Mrs. Gan gave it to me, no one was there. ”

Eleven Niang nodded, and Mother Song retreated.

She climbed onto the bed, pushed open the baffle carved with the plum blossom at the head of the bed, and carefully put the box inside.

Xu Lingyi invited Zhou Shizheng, the third son of Princess Fucheng and Sister Fang's father, to be a matchmaker, and made a small decision on June 22.

After that, the weather became hotter and hotter, the ears were full of cicadas, and the iced mung bean soup, lotus seed soup, and sour plum soup continued every day. Brother Zhen followed Mrs. Tai, Lijingxuan Lin Mu Sensen, but also cool, Eleven Niang heartbroken to admonish brother, in his spare time, he invited him to his house to play, and told him the story of the Three Character Sutra. After half a month, several stories were catchy to him, which made Eleven Niang feel a sense of accomplishment, and made people find copperplate paper and wanted to make a few cards for Xu Sijie.

Seeing that it was about to be half of July, Xu Siyu had a letter of safety delivered.

“…… Mr. is rigorous in his studies, and his wife is amiable...... In my spare time, I will go to the mountain behind the college with my classmates to climb the mountain. The child is well, please father, grandmother, mother do not worry. ”

"It's good to be a good person, it's good to be a good person!" Mrs. Tai nodded when she listened, and a little maid ran in: "Madam, the person who said that Uncle Zhongqin died of illness." ”

Eleven Niang's heart was suffocated, and her hand couldn't help but cover her chest. Mrs. Tai had asked the little maid sharply, "Can you hear clearly!" ”

The little maid's face turned pale with fright: "That's what Steward Zhao ordered!" ”

Mrs. Tai did not speak for a long time.

For a moment, there was a smell of needles falling in the room.

"It's been too hot this summer!" Mrs. Tai muttered, "It's no wonder that he can't make it." ”

Only then did Shi Niang come back to her senses, thinking that Zhongqin Bobi was younger than Mrs. Tai, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice that Mrs. Tai was physically tough. asked the little maid: "Steward Zhao said when he went to worship?" ”

The three animal offerings for worship are prepared by the Return.

The little maid said tremblingly: "Say go to worship early tomorrow morning!" ”

Mrs. Tai instructed Eleven Niang: "You go with Danyang tomorrow!" ”

The loyal and diligent Bo is younger than Mrs. Tai, and Mrs. Tai does not have to go to worship.

Eleven Niang should say "yes", went to the fifth lady to say a word, returned to her inner room to send the servant by her side, and quietly took out the red lacquer and gold painting box that Mrs. Gan asked her to keep for a long time before quietly putting it back again.

The next day, the people of Xufu changed into plain clothes and went to worship Zhongqinbo.

The filial piety shed that received the ladies was the guest who thanked and worshipped Gan Da*, and there was no pity on his face.

Eleventh Niang and Fifth Lady put on incense, and asked Gan Da * Milk directly: "Why didn't you see Mrs. Gan?" ”

The fifth lady secretly tugged at her sleeve.

Eleven Niang just didn't know, and looked at Gan Da * milk calmly.

A look of astonishment flashed in Ganda's eyes, and she said after a while: "My father-in-law passed away, and my mother-in-law was too sad and fell ill!" ”

"Sick!" Eleven Niang was surprised, "I didn't expect Mrs. Gan to be sick." Please also ask someone to accompany me to have a look! ”

Gan Da*'s grandmother hesitated for a moment, and then instructed a mother-like person next to her: "You can accompany Mrs. Yongping Hou on a trip!" ”

The fifth lady frowned.

Eleven Niang followed the mother to Mrs. Gan.

Mrs. Gan is in the west wing behind the main house. Seeing Shi Niang, she was not surprised, struggled to sit up, and asked the little maid next to her to bring a brocade and pour tea for Shi Niang.

Yanrong cleverly helped the little maid to do things, making the mother standing in front of the bed look uncomfortable.

Eleven Niang looked at Mrs. Gan, who was pale and haggard, lowered her head and sighed, and helped her tuck the quilt.

"I'm fine!" Mrs. Gan looked at me and said softly, "My sister-in-law just came to see me two days ago. After the first seven, my brother will come to see me. ”

Eleven Niang breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Gan's brother is the political envoy of Zheng Sanpin, and he is willing to help her get ahead, and the prince does not dare to be sloppy.

"That's good!" She said with a pun, "When you stop here, I'll treat you to a box of snacks." ”

Mrs. Gan nodded slightly.

Eleven Niang glanced at the mother who was listening with her ears up, and got up to say goodbye.

Halfway through, I met the maid lotus leaf next to the fifth lady.

"Madame!" Her eyebrows relaxed, "The fifth lady is waiting for you in the flower hall behind the main hall!" ”

It seems that the fifth lady instructed the lotus leaf to come to her.

Eleven Niang's heart was slightly warm, and she followed the lotus leaf to the flower hall.

The fifth lady whispered: "Everyone is waiting to see the jokes of the Zhongqin family, what are you involved in!" ”

"Mrs. Gan is my praiser at the ceremony." Eleven Niang said, "I should go and see her because of my feelings!" ”

Words are not speculative for more than half a sentence. The fifth lady glared at her, turned her head and sat down on the Taishi chair beside her.

Eleven Niang smiled shallowly.

Then, as the fifth lady said, the people of Yanjing were looking at Zhongqinbo Mansion all summer. In the end, the Gan family had to compromise and hand over Mrs. Gan's dowry to Mrs. Gan, and built another yard for Mrs. Gan in the back garden to house the widowed Mrs. Gan. Then the brothers of the Gan family fought the lawsuit from Shuntian Mansion Yin to Dali Temple for the division of family property. Everything you did to make a joke for him to raise a drama has all been poked out.

The Jiang family, who was far away in Fujian, heard this and sent two housekeepers' mothers. said that she was afraid that the third lady of the Gan family would be too sad, and the little maid around her would not be sensible, so she came to serve for a few days.

The people of Yanjing talked about it one after another. It is said that the third lady of the Gan family is not good. The filial piety period on the in-law's side has not yet passed, and he has encountered the filial piety of his mother's family, and now he is dragged down by his brothers and is despised by his future in-laws......

In fact, there was another incident that happened during this period, but compared to the matter of Zhongqinbofu, the people of Yanjing felt that there was not enough gossip and did not arouse enough interest.

In mid-August, the former Shanxi General Corps was transferred to the Fujian General Corps.
