Chapter 177: Wax Moon (Part II)
When she got up the next morning, Eleven Niang found that Xu Lingyi's face was ugly.
She wanted to go back to her parents' house, decided to stay away from him, and be sure to walk out of the door safely.
Nanyong's daughter-in-law combed her with a small peony bun, wore a red gold silk ruby step, and dotted the Cui Nan jewelry knot. Rose purple two-tone gold engraved silk knee-length narrow sleeve gown. Sister Zhen combed a double snail bun and wore a pearl flower with gilt silver pearls, a white silk jacket on the inside, and a small jacket with pink engraved silk on the outside. The two stood side by side, like a pair of sister flowers.
"The concubine quit and went directly to the bowstring alley." Eleven Niang bent her knees to salute Xu Lingyi and looked at his face cautiously.
Xu Lingyi's expression was indifferent, and he was crooked on the big pillow at the head of the bed to read a book like yesterday.
Hearing that Eleven Niang said goodbye to him, he raised his eyelids and glanced at her, touched a small red lacquer and gold box from under the pillow and handed it to her: "Take it!" β
It was neither said what it was, nor for whom...... But no matter what, it's always a piece of his heart. Eleven Niang decided to flatter her well. With a happy look, he took it and opened the box: "What is it?" β
There were twenty or so silver bills of eight or nine cents, and a dozen silver bills of fifty or one hundred taels.
She couldn't help but be stunned.
Xu Lingyi had already lowered his head and flipped through the book: "I have asked Manager Bai to prepare the things you went back to your parents' house." These are taken back for a reward-after all, my aunt is here for the first time, and there is a new sister-in-law who has entered the door......" with a faint expression.
Eleven Niang thought that Xu Lingyi called Manager Bai to see him yesterday...... Definitely for this thing. Thinking of her belly slander yesterday, she became a little uneasy: "Master Hou......"
Xu Lingyi didn't raise her head, waved her hand, and motioned for her to hurry up.
Would you like to talk to him about something?
Eleven Niang pondered. I'm afraid that I'll go back late - I'm going back alone, and if I'm late, I don't know what people will say...... She was torn between a rock and a hard place. Think about it, forget it, let's go back to my parents' house first. I'll apologize to him when I get back.
She bent her knees and saluted Xu Lingyi: "Master Hou, then I'll go to the Bowstring Hutong first!" β
Xu Lingyi's attention seemed to be all on the book, and he nodded absentmindedly.
What a book to read, so fascinated! I think I read this one yesterday.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but stretch her neck and look at the title page.
It's a "Left Biography".
Is it so pretty?
She couldn't help muttering a little in her heart, and then she went out with Sister Zhen.
Naturally, I didn't notice a sly smile flashing in the eyes of the person who watched "Left Biography".
Out of the yard, Sister Zhen looked at Eleven Niang very worriedly: "Mother and father ......"
The children are all older, and they can feel the bad atmosphere in the house. Instead of hiding it, it is better to be honest with Sister Zhen. Children are often more mature than adults think.
"I have a little disagreement with your father." Eleven Niang smiled helplessly, "I'm in a hurry to go back to my parents' house again." I'll have to talk to your dad when I get back. β
Sister Zhen nodded, she thought of what Mrs. Tai said to Mother Du in private, and couldn't help but hesitate: "Is it for the sake of my father's resignation?" He added, "I heard that the emperor kept his father like this, he was testing his father to see if his father would really resign." If Daddy resigns, the emperor will really rest assured Daddy. If Daddy doesn't resign, the emperor is afraid that he won't let Daddy go. But Daddy really resigned, and the family will not have the current Heyao momentum......" As she said, she stopped and looked at Eleven Niang seriously, "Mother, as the saying goes, keep the green mountains here, and you are not afraid of no firewood." Daddy is the Marquis of Yongping, the head of the family and the pillar of this house. As long as we keep our father, we have a chance to make a comeback. Mother, don't be angry with Daddy. Even if there is no current Heyao in the family, it is not a blessing to be able to live quietly as a family. β
Eleven Niang was stunned.
Sister Zhen was actually persuading her.
I didn't expect her to be at such a young age, not only with a pure heart, but also with such insight. couldn't help but show a bright smile: "Sister Zhen, you're right. Stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood. As long as your father is safe and sound, our family will be fine. β
Sister Zhen listened a little surprised: "I make a lot of nonsense, and my mother is generous, and she doesn't have the same knowledge as me." β
"Our sister Zhen is really the first." Eleven Niang praised her with a smile, and then explained to her, "However, we don't have a dispute over these things. We disagree on some small details of life. For example, I like to eat fish, and your dad likes meat...... So we need to adjust to each other. β
Sister Zhen nodded and persuaded in a low voice: "A hundred years of cultivation can be crossed in the same boat." Mother and we are destined, so don't worry about these trivial matters with your father. β
Looking at such a Zhen sister, not to mention that it was a misunderstanding with Xu Lingyi in this matter, even if he was wrong, Eleven Niang would not be able to worry about anything with him.
"Sister Zhen is right." She smiled and took Sister Zhen'er's hand, "Since we are a family, we should be quite tolerant." β
Sister Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and went to Mrs. Tai with a smile and a smile.
Brother Zhen knew that Sister Zhen was going to go to relatives with Eleven Niang, and he wanted to go too.
Eleven Niang didn't dare to take him there, for fear of bumping into something or running into something that would be difficult to explain, so she smiled and said: "We girls go to visit relatives, and you boys accompany their grandmothers at home." β
Brother Zhen looked at Xu Sijian, who was smiling on the side, and then at Sister Zhen'er, and his head drooped.
Shi Niang looked at it and couldn't help but smile and touched his head: "When the Chinese New Year comes, I will also take you to visit relatives." β
On the second day of the New Year, I will go to my uncle, and on the third day of the new year, I will go to my father-in-law, and I will definitely take my brother to Luo's house at that time.
Brother Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he didn't forget Xu Sijian, and pulled him and said, "Take the third brother too!" β
"I'm not a woman, I'm worried about my relatives." Xu Sijian's face was full of disapproval, but his eyes showed a few yearnings, "I'm not going." β
Xu Siqin and Xu Siyu were older, and they had already heard that Eleven Niang was fooling Brother Chen, and they laughed on the side, and Xu Siqin personally opened the curtain for Eleven Niang: "Fourth aunt, don't pay attention to them, the two are stunned." β
Eleven Niang smiled and entered the house with Sister Zhen.
Mrs. Tai was sitting on the big kang by the window and talking, when she saw Eleven Niang and Sister Zhen coming in, she carefully asked them if they had brought the gift belt? Which mothers-in-law follow the car? When will you be back?
Eleven Niang answered one by one, and Mrs. Tai told a few words like "be careful on the road", and then asked Du's mother to send them out.
When I arrived at the Luo Mansion in Bowstring Hutong, the big * grandmother personally greeted her in front of the Hanging Flower Gate.
Seeing Sister Zhen behind Eleven Niang, surprise flashed in her eyes. But he still didn't lose his courtesy, and greeted Sister Zhen with a smile: "...... Last time, I heard the sound of the eldest lady's piano in Shaohua Courtyard, and I was shocked. β
Sister Zhen saluted the eldest * milk very respectfully: "Uncle praised it." β
Eleven Niang is very strange.
It stands to reason that the eldest man brought all the people in his family to Yanjing, which can be regarded as a family reunion, and specially invited these married girls back to their parents' house for dinner.
The thought flashed, and she "chuckled" in her heart. Hurriedly pulled the hand of the big * grandmother: "Sister-in-law, what happened at home?" β
The big * grandmother glanced at Sister Zhen'er, and stopped talking.
Sister Zhen is very good at observing faces, but this is the Luo family, and she just wants to avoid it. I had to bow my head.
Eleven Niang didn't hide it from her.
There is no doubt about employing people, and there is no need for condensing people. Since you are good friends with Sister Zhen'er, there is no need to hide. What's more, Sister Zhen is a very sensible and caring child.
"Sister-in-law has something to say, just say it!" She was worried that it was the fifth aunt.
Seeing that she was in a hurry, the big * grandmother thought that she would always have to meet later...... smiled bitterly: "Mother's condition has worsened again!" β
"How so?" Shi Niang was a little dumbfounded, "A few days ago, I sent someone to ask and said that it was so good that it would be okay, and I could get out of bed during the New Year." How suddenly it got worse again! β
The eldest * grandmother was about to say something, when a carriage drove over "deservedly" - it was the fourth brother-in-law Yu Yiqing and the fourth mother-in-law who came. She smiled apologetically at Eleven Niang and hurriedly greeted her.
Everyone saw the ceremony, Yu Yiqing was busy avoiding Luo Zhenxing's house because of the presence of Sister Zhen'er, and Siniang took Sister Zhen'er's hand and praised it, and then everyone went to the main house together.
The sixth aunt came up with the twelve mothers.
Twelve Niang is taller than when she was in Yuhang, and gradually faded her childishness, and she has the beauty of the little girl's family.
"Aunt Eleven." The sixth aunt greeted Eleventh Niang warmly, and instructed Twelfth Niang, "Don't meet your sister yet." β
Twelve Niang stepped forward a little shyly and saluted Eleven Niang.
Shi Niang took a jade jade plate out to give her a meeting gift, and handed Mrs. Tai's Nanzhu bead flower to her: "This is Mrs. Tai's intention." β
"Oops! How embarrassing is that. The sixth aunt took the twelfth lady to bend her knees to the eleventh mother, "And let the lady break the bank!" β
"A little meaning, not a tribute." Eleven Niang was polite.
The sixth aunt led the twelve mothers to salute the fourth mother.
Siniang took a string of glass bracelets to Twelve Niang as a meeting gift.
Eleventh Niang introduced Sister Zhen to Twelfth Niang.
One has the gentleness and beauty of a girl in the south of the Yangtze River, and the other has the generosity and calmness of a girl in the north, standing together, such as Qiu Ju Chunlan, each with its own merits.
The two little girls saluted each other, and both saw appreciative glances in each other's eyes. And the sixth aunt knew that Sister Zhen was the eldest lady of the Yongping Marquis Mansion, and her smile was a few more affectionate than just now, and she gave Sister Zhen a string of cloisonnΓ© enamel bracelets as a meeting gift.
Sister Zhen thanked her respectfully.
The group went to the inner room of the eldest lady.
Eleven Niang saw the fifth aunt standing in front of the eldest lady's bed with a tea tray at a glance.
Time seems to be very fond of her. Although she hasn't seen her for two years, not only has her appearance not changed, but her demeanor has also changed from her previous cowardice, but she has a peaceful and indifferent charm, which makes her look elegant and dusty, and she is more beautiful than before.
The fifth aunt also saw her daughter.
She was gorgeously dressed, her complexion was ruddy and shiny, and she no longer had the caution between her eyebrows when she was in the Luo family, but instead she was calm and confident, calm and calm. It seems that he just blinked his eyes, and his daughter has grown up.
The fifth aunt's tears poured out all at once: "Eleven Niang ......"
"Auntie!" Eleven Niang also burst into tears.
Suddenly, there was a hoarse cry like a crow in the room.
Eleven Niang was taken aback.
When I looked over, I saw the eldest lady leaning on the big pillow at the head of the bed.
She was staring at her with big eyes, staring at her fiercely.
