Mrs. Tai hurriedly invited Luo Zhenxing in.

Luo Zhenxing saluted Mrs. Tai and presented her with a red lacquered gold food box containing a porcelain pot of glutinous rice, two silver carp, and a plate of meat patties.

Du's mother took it and served Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang to eat yuan.

Mrs. Tai invited Luo Zhenxing to sit down and speak.

Xu Lingyi and Shi Niang symbolically ate some, then quit Mrs. Tai and followed Luo Zhenxing to the bowstring alley.

Luo Zhenda, Yu Yiqing and Qian Ming were waiting at the gate, saw the carriage, and greeted them.

After getting out of the carriage and seeing the salute, Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang went to the eldest lord and eldest wife.

The second wife, the third wife, the fourth mother, the fifth mother, the tenth mother, the big * milk, the third grandmother, Luo Zhenkai, Luo Zhenyu, Wang Lang and others were waiting for them in the house.

Shi Niang was very surprised to see Shi Niang, but seeing her look as usual, she felt a little comforted.

Wang Lang saw that Xu Lingyi's expression was a little uncertain, but he still stepped forward to salute him.

Xu Lingyi smiled at Wang Lang and nodded, with a very cold attitude.

The female dependents were different, chattering around Eleven Niang, and the second wife laughed and said, "Our Mrs. Yipin is back." "It makes Eleven Niang a little uncomfortable - after all, being ignored for so long, suddenly standing in the spotlight, anyone has to have a process of adaptation. Fortunately, there are many strange things encountered by Eleven Niang, and she shouted "second aunt" and "third aunt" one by one with a smile, sinking the words of the second wife.

The third lady smiled and pulled Eleven Niang: "Come in, uncle and sister-in-law are waiting for you!" ”

Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang went to the west room.

The eldest lord and the eldest lady had already sat on the big kang by the window and waited.

Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang knelt down and kowtowed to the two.

Luo Zhenxing and Big * Milk picked them up separately.

The eldest lord looked at them with a smile on his face, and asked Xu Lingyi kindly: "Eleven Niang didn't cause any trouble to the Hou Ye, right?" ”

Eleven Niang couldn't help sweating.

As a father-in-law, is the attitude of the eldest lord too modest?

And Xu Lingyi's answer surprised her even more.

"Eleven Niang is generous and polite, and the family likes it very much."

Eleven Niang couldn't help but glance at Xu Lingyi.

His eyes were calm, his expression was solemn, and he didn't think it was a joke or a modest remark, but because of his attitude, the eldest master didn't know what to say for a while, and his face showed a little hesitation.

The eldest lady looked at it and smiled, and said, "Master, this is a blind worry!" Hou Ye has always been magnanimous, and he said that no one is here! As she spoke, she looked at Eleven Niang, "When you were in front of me, I also told you that you read "The Female Commandment" and "The Legend of the Martyr". The husband is humble, and you should respect him even more. Mother-in-law loves it, you have to be more cautious. Don't be pampered and proud, don't be loving and ......" actually admonished Eleven Nianglai.

Eleven Niang naturally listened.

For a while, the atmosphere in the room was a little dreary.

Xu Lingyi frowned slightly.

Qian Ming immediately interrupted the eldest lady's words with a smile: "Mother-in-law, those of us who accompany the guests waited for this meal on an empty stomach yesterday, and we have already sung opera in our stomachs." If you continue to admonish, you can't stand it anymore. ”

The eldest lady's face was slightly sad, but the others laughed, and she didn't want to say anything more, so she gave a vague "um".

Qian Ming pulled Xu Lingyi: "Go drinking, go drinking!" He said to Luo Zhenxing: "Today we are the biggest uncle, don't say that you don't have good wine and good food." ”

It made everyone laugh again, and the atmosphere became lively.

The eldest lord and Xu Lingyi went to Luo Zhenxing's place, and Eleven Niang stayed at the eldest lady's place with the female dependents.

The maids set up a black lacquered table in the hall.

The eldest lady took Eleven Niang to sit in the first place: "Today is my aunt and grandmother coming back......"

The second and third ladies smiled and sat down with one left and one right. Siniang sat next to the second wife, Wuniang sat next to the third wife, and the third grandmother and Shiniang sat opposite the eldest wife and the eleventh mother.

The big * milk beckoned the maids to serve the food.

Wu Niang looked at Eleven Niang with a pair of wonderful eyes.

Different from the usual simplicity and elegance, today's Eleven Niang is dressed up gorgeously. The black green silk is combed into a peony bun, the red gold inlaid with purple stone headbands, the tourmaline stone treasure knot, the red gold rank ruby phoenix hairpin, the red red shirt is woven all over the place, and the apricot yellow embroidered plum bamboo orchid skirt is edging.

The purple stones on the headbands are all the size of a fingernail, and the tourmaline stones on the treasure knots are of different sizes and shades, but they are stacked together with a kind of aggressive beauty. There are also rubies held in the mouth of the phoenix, all of which are the size of lotus seeds and rice, shining and dazzling.

She couldn't help but show envy in her eyes.

Siniang, who was sitting opposite her, couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "Fifth sister stared at the eleventh sister without blinking, I'm afraid that Master Hou bullied your sister?" ”

was behaving by humanity, Wu Niang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and forced a smile: "I want to see what Mrs. Yipin looks like?" In any case, the eleventh sister is also the first of our sisters. ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

The first one, the first one is Yuan Niang...... But at this time, who else remembers her.

The eldest lady's eyes flashed with a cold light, but she raised her glass with a smile: "Come, come, come, everyone drink." ”

Except for Shi Niang, everyone raised their glasses in response to the eldest lady - she had already eaten by herself.

The feast has officially begun.

The eldest lady took the lead in clipping a piece of mackerel and put it in Shi Niang's bowl: "This is brought from Yuhang, I'm afraid that I will have few opportunities to eat it in the future." ”

Eleven Niang smiled and said, "With you, don't worry about not being able to taste it." ”

The eldest lady listened, nodded with satisfaction, and put the crab roe lion's head into her bowl: "This is your favorite food!" ”

Eleven Niang smiled at the eldest lady and whispered "Thank you, mother".

The eldest lady smiled lovingly.

Wu Niang's eyes were a little lonely.

The third wife sighed: "It turned out to be a group of little girls running in front of her. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, they have grown up and married. I also know that I feel sorry for my mother. ”

The second wife smiled when she heard this: "Don't be envious, you will be a mother-in-law in a few years." The same distress is felt by people. ”

The third wife shook her head with a smile: "How can a daughter-in-law compare to her daughter's ......" The topic turned to Luo Zhensheng's marriage. “…… Brother Kai and Brother Yu are too skinny, I can't control it. It just so happened that my father wrote to say that he missed his two grandchildren. I asked Mr. Zhao for his wishes, and I was going to let Mr. Zhao take them back to Datong, hand them over to my father, and study with my nephew. The two children set off on September 18, and I then went to Sichuan - there was no one to take care of my lord, so I was not at ease. I'm afraid that I won't be able to go back to Yuhang when Brother Sheng gets married. ”

The third lady said, looking at the eldest lady with an apologetic face.

The eldest lady smiled and said, "It's still the third uncle's matter." You remember to wrap a big red envelope for your nephew and daughter-in-law. ”

The third lady hurriedly said: "Certainly, definitely." ”

When the second wife heard this, she complained: "What did you say about the Zhou family?" I heard that the family is no more than three acres of paddy fields, and there are four or five younger brothers under him. The second wife was a little disapproving, "I knew that such a sister-in-law would agree, so I came forward to tell Brother Sheng about my family!" Not to mention anything else, there are thousands of taels of dowry. ”

The second wife is also from Yu County, and she has a brother who has made a fortune in business, and she has always wanted to tell her niece to Luo Zhenxing, but she put it aside because she met the old lady's filial piety. Unexpectedly, the eldest lady quietly set such a family affair for Luo Zhensheng, and she naturally wanted to talk about it.

Everyone's eyes fell on the eldest lady.

The eldest lady smiled faintly: "You don't know Brother Sheng's temperament?" You'll have to find a bigger one to take care of it. The Zhou family is still innocent, and he is a relative of the prefect of Hangzhou, Lord Zhou. I thought that I would be able to carry out problems in the future, so I agreed to this family business. ”

The second wife said "This is really no fate", and sighed: "This is really a coincidence." You also know that Qi Niang's marriage is scheduled for the tenth day of October, and I can't leave. At that time, I'm afraid that I will have to let Da Ge go back to Yuhang on behalf of the two of us. ”

"Then the third brother will not return to Yanjing for the New Year?" Wu Niang suddenly smiled when she heard this, "If you go back to Yanjing for the New Year, just send me back!" ”

Everyone was slightly stunned, but a few smiles flashed in the eyes of the eldest lady.

Wu Niang glanced at Eleven Niang with some pride, and said, "Xianggong said, let me accompany my mother back to Yuhang." When the time comes, my father and mother will stay in Yuhang, but I will rush back to Yanjing for the New Year. If Da Ge returns to Yuhang, he will just escort me back. ”

I didn't expect Qian Ming to let Wu Niang go back to Yuhang...... Eleven Niang was quite surprised.

The second wife's smile was a little reluctant: "The fifth aunt is really a caring person!" Da Ge naturally wants to go back to Yanjing for the New Year. Otherwise, wouldn't the house over there be no one to take care of. When the time comes, let your third brother send you back. As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the eldest lady.

It turned out that because she was sick in front of her in-laws' bed, the three brothers of the Luo family all looked at her differently. Now one of her sons-in-law is a lifter, one son-in-law is the son of the Guogong Mansion, and the other son-in-law is the marquis who is powerful in the world, but she is afraid that she will go sideways at home.

"Sister-in-law is really a blessing." There was inevitably a little sourness in her words, "The daughter who marries can still serve in front of her." Unlike our four mothers, there are in-laws and children. ”

It is said that the eldest lady relied on Qian Ming's support to support the Luo family and bullied Qian Ming to the head, so that her daughter only had her mother's family and no in-law's family.

The eldest lady smiled and groaned, as if she hadn't heard the words of the second wife, and persuaded everyone to eat vegetables: "...... This fungus was sent when the Hou Ye was hired
