Before dinner, Mrs. Tai made an excuse that she had something to tell Sister Zhen'er, and left Sister Zhen in the inner room.

"Sister Zhen will move to me tomorrow, I told Mrs. Tai, your brother will go to my place for dinner in the evening, which can be regarded as congratulating Sister Zhen on her housewarming." She looked at the three Xu brothers with a smile.

Xu Siqin and the others all showed surprised expressions.

Xu Siyu was the first to come back to his senses, looked at his mother and smiled: "What about Brother Zhen?" "The gaze is deep, like the night sky of Haohan, flashing with an unknown light.

Eleven Niang smiled: "He's not too young, he can't play with his sister every day!" He stayed with his grandmother to take care of him, and his sister moved to me temporarily. ”

Xu Sijian immediately grinned and said, "Okay, good." We'll go to Aunt Four's for dinner tomorrow. He said to Brother Zhen again, "There is good food!" ”

Brother Zhen looked at Xu Sijian with a smile: "There is good food!" ”

Xu Sijian made a grimace at Brother Chen: "What does it matter to you if you have good food?" You are a little white rabbit and can only eat grass. ”

Brother Zhen is still in the filial piety period.

He couldn't understand Xu Sijian's words, he only felt that Xu Sijian's tone was not good, and retorted: "You are the little white rabbit." I'm the big tiger. ”

Xu Sijian smiled: "The big tiger who was being held." ”

When Brother Chen heard this, he was about to jump down to find Xu Sijian, but Eleven Niang hugged him tightly: "Third Young Master, you said last time that you were going to take our Brother Chen to ride a horse." I think it's better to choose a day than to hit a day, just tomorrow! ”

Xu Sijian laughed wryly when he heard this, looking left and right as if he hadn't heard.

Brother Zhen watched Xu Sijian be deflated by Eleven Niang's words, and he didn't jump down, sitting in Eleven Niang's arms with a smile.

Eleven Niang said to Brother Chen: "When others talk about you, you just use words to say the past." Jumping down to find someone to settle accounts is not a gentleman's doing. ”

Brother Zhen listened and nodded.

Xu Siyu looked at the two of them with an obscure gaze.

Xu Siqin hurriedly came out to relieve the siege: "Fourth aunt, when do you think we will arrive tomorrow?" ”

Eleven Niang smiled: "It's okay to say hello to your grandmother." ”

Several people should "go when the time comes", the third master and the third lady came, and Eleven Niang took the opportunity to tell Sister Zhen to move tomorrow and invite Xu Siqin and Xu Sijian to go over for dinner.

The third master listened and responded, and instructed the two brothers: "Don't be naughty." ”

Xu Siqin and Xu Sijian were busy, and the two of them went to greet Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai looked at Shi Niang's side and finished speaking, and smiled and took Sister Zhen out to eat.

After the meal, the third master asked Sister Zhen'er: "What is missing in the house?" Or what do you want? Zhiguan and the third aunt said, we will send you. ”

Sister Zhen said politely: "Grandmother and mother are ready, there is nothing missing." Thank you to the third uncle and the third aunt for your concern. ”

The third lady was still afraid of what the third master would say, so she hurriedly smiled: "There are a lot of good things in the mother's library." ”

The third master smiled when he heard this, and no longer insisted.

The husband instructed Mother Du to take Sister Zhen and Brother Zhen down to rest, and whispered to the third master and his wife: "Tomorrow they will all go to celebrate Sister Zhen's move, you come here early to eat, and we will play the leaf card." ”

The third master and the third lady were busy.

Seeing that it was not early, everyone dispersed.

Early the next morning, Eleven Niang first went to the east wing room to take a look, and saw that the dragon was burning, and the furniture was wiped clean, so she went to greet Mrs. Tai and pick up Sister Zhen.

Sister Zhen wore a moon-white gray squirrel skin jacket, a beautiful blue skirt, and a red gold chrysanthemum given by Eleven Niang, and respectfully kowtowed to Mrs. Tai three times.

Mrs. Tai's eyes immediately moistened when she looked at it.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" As soon as the words fell, tears fell.

Eleven Niang hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of Mrs. Tai's eyes: "I still live in a courtyard, I come with me every day to greet you, and come to talk to you in my spare time." ”

"I know." Mrs. Tai took Eleven Niang's handkerchief, "Such a small person," she said, gesturing with her hand, "Growing so big, leaving me for the first time......"

Sister Zhen cried when she heard this.

Eleven Niang looked at it and felt it - she seemed to have become the murderer who forced her life to part, and her eyes were involuntarily moist.

"Don't cry, don't cry." Mrs. Tai took Sister Zhen in her arms and wiped her tears, "Remember to listen to your mother." ”

Sister Zhen nodded again and again, and Brother Zhen was led in by the nurse to greet Mrs. Tai, looking at this scene, and cried. For a while, there was a cry in the house.

Eleven Niang hurriedly went over to comfort Brother Chen.

Mrs. Tai restrained her sadness and asked Eleven Niang to hug Brother Zhen: "Okay, okay, don't cry." My sister is going to live with your mother, so you have to go and see her off happily. "But no matter what, Brother Zhen couldn't stop crying.

"Brother Zhen, do you want to send my sister to me?" Eleven Niang said, "We are going to decorate my sister's house today." Do you want to go? ”

Brother Zhen nodded again and again, looking at Mrs. Tai with teary eyes.

Mrs. Tai touched Brother Chen's head and instructed Mother Du: "You take it with you!" He said to Eleven Niang again, "You don't have to come over later." ”

Du's mother smiled and answered "yes". and Eleven Niang, the reluctant Sister Zhen resigned from Mrs. Tai and went to Sister Zhen'er's residence.

Sister Zhen'er's things have been packed, and the two big maids, Xiaoli and Xiaoque, as well as a few second- and third-class maids and mothers-in-law, have already been waiting on the side. Seeing Eleven Niang come in, they all bent their knees and saluted, and Sister Zhen let her nurse Hu Shi and a few decent maids come forward to salute Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang smiled and accepted the salute, but secretly counted the number of people in her heart.

A nurse, two big maids, two second-class maids, four third-class maids, four small maids, and two rough mothers-in-law...... That's a lot of people. It's no problem to squeeze at her for the time being, but it's going to be inconvenient for everyone after a long time. Or find a way to find her a separate yard in the back garden early.

Eleven Niang thought about it, and went to her residence with Mother Du and Sister Zhen and Brother Zhen.

From a distance, she saw a maid who looked like Aunt Wen's side Qiuhong poking her brain at the door, and when she saw them coming, she immediately turned around and ran.

Eleven Niang smiled slightly.

Aunt Wen is still thinking about her daughter!

After entering the door, Amber, who was waiting for the door, glanced at Eleven Niang, and then took the other women and servants to bend their knees and salute Sister Zhen'er: "I've seen the eldest lady." He stepped forward and introduced himself very formally: "I am Amber next to the fourth lady, and I salute the eldest lady!" As he spoke, his knees were bent and blessed.

Sister Zhen'er's face was slightly red, but she accepted their salute very calmly, and said, "Sister Amber, please get up." In the future, I will live together, and I will ask Sister Amber for more advice. ”

Amber hurriedly said: "The eldest young sister is serious, torture the slave!" ”

Sister Zhen asked the maid Xiaoli next to her to reward Amber with an eight-cent silver bill: "Buy flowers for my sister to wear." "Introduce her to the nurse Mother Hu and the maids and birds beside her.

Amber took it generously, bent her knees again to thank Sister Zhen'er, and introduced Mother Tao, Holly, Binju, Zhu Xiang and others.

Sister Zhen rewarded, and Eleven Niang and the others went to the main house where she lived.

Amber, Tao's mother, Xiaoli, and Hu's mother accompanied them, and Holly and Binju stayed behind to help Xiaoque and others tidy up the cage box brought by Sister Zhen'er. Eleven Niang and Sister Zhen sat on the big kang near the window in the west room, put Brother Zhen on the kang to play, and let the little maid move the brocade pestle for Mother Du to sit on, served tea and snacks, and personally introduced the situation on her side to Sister Zhen - such as how many maids and women there are, what their names are, what they do, when she gets up by herself, when she goes to greet Mrs. Tai, and when she takes a lunch break...... Sister Zhen listened very carefully and introduced the people around her. Eleven Niang asked Sister Zhen about her daily routine again, and found that the two of them had similar schedules, so she said happily: "That's good, lest you have to adapt again here." ”

Sister Zhen smiled slightly, and Xiaoque came over and said, "Madam, eldest young sister, everything is sorted out." ”

Eleven Niang smiled and pulled Brother Zhen: "Let's go and see my sister's new house." ”

Brother Zhen had already been impatient with hearing it on the side, cheered, took Eleven Niang's hand and followed him to the east wing.

The middle hall is hung with a picture of a peony chicken, a chiming bell and a blue and white porcelain flower goose are placed on the long table, a royal blue brocade cushion is set on the black lacquer Taishi chair, and there is a pot of wax plum blossoms with a height in the corner.

Sister Zhen looked at the morning star, and walked over to rub the tender yellow petals of the plum blossom.

"My sister's house is so beautiful." Brother Zhen yelled and pushed open the door of the northern second room and ran into the inner room, "Sister, come and see, your bed is here." ”

Sister Zhen glanced at Eleven Niang with a bewildered face, and walked quickly to the inner room.

There was a small paint-filled bed that was exactly the same as the one in her pavilion.

She burst into tears and looked at Eleven Niang with a smile: "Mother......"

Eleven Niang took her hand and went to the inner room: "I look at your bed very beautiful." I looked around in the library and found a similar one. Then he pointed to the bed baffle, "The one of yours is Wuyang Kaitai, and this is Magu Xianshou." ”

Sister Zhen nodded, but the tears couldn't stop falling.

Eleven Niang took out a handkerchief and gave it to her: "Don't cry, today is a happy thing." ”

Sister Zhen took the handkerchief embarrassedly and wiped her tears.

Eleven Niang asked Brother Zhen: "What do you think is missing in my sister's house?" ”

Brother Chen turned around with great interest and pointed to the windowsill near the window in the inner room: "There are tall plates there, oranges and apples, and chestnuts ......."

Eleven Niang laughed: "Our brother Zhen will really enjoy it." ”

Du's mother and Sister Zhen also laughed.

The atmosphere in the house is warm and nice.

A little maid said, "Madam, Aunt Qin and Aunt Wen have come to greet you." ”

I just said hello in the morning, and I came to say hello again at this time......

Eleven Niang thought of the shadow like Qiu Hong just now, and said with a faint smile: "Please let the two aunts come in!" The eldest lady is here, just to say hello. ”

The little maid answered the call and left.

Mother Du hurriedly hugged Brother Zhen, but the expression on Sister Zhen'er's face was a little complicated.

After a while, Aunt Qin and Aunt Wen came.

One of the two was wearing a royal blue makeup jacket, and the other was wearing a sand-green makeup jacket, and Shi Shiran walked in.

After saluting Eleven Niang, Eleven Niang introduced the two to Sister Zhen'er: "Aunt Qin is wearing royal blue, and Aunt Wen is wearing sand green." He pointed to Sister Zhen again: "This is our eldest lady." ”

The two of them bowed their knees, and Sister Zhen nodded, and let Xiao Li each reward two eight-cent silver bills.

Aunt Qin smiled and thanked her, but Aunt Wen's eyes lingered on Sister Zhen'er's face for a moment before she lowered her head and accepted the silver and thanked her.

The two saluted Brother Chen, and met with Du's mother, and then Eleven Niang said, "What's the matter with the two aunts?" ”
