Chapter 699: Effort (I)
The thin white Songjiang triangular cloth was soaked with sweat and clinged tightly to Brother Jin'er's body, as if it had been fished up from the river.
Standing outside the window lattice and looking around, Eleven Niang felt a pain in her heart, and turned her face sideways, "I want to be out of sight and out of mind, but I met Xu Lingyi, who was standing beside Brother Jin and urging her son with a bamboo stick."
Xu Lingyi retracted his gaze expressionlessly, and the bamboo strip hit Brother Jin'er's xiaotuǐ: "Stand up!" A dull voice sounded.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but close her eyes.
"Yes!" , Brother Jin'er's body lifted up slightly, and his voice was calm with a little tiredness.
The corners of Feng Yiniang's eyes were slightly wet, she lifted her skirt and walked lightly.
"Don't worry, ma'am." , Amber comforted her, "Master Hou is a measured person, the sixth young master will be fine!" ”
"I know." , Eleven Niang took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, "Since Brother Jin has decided to take this path, the stricter the Hou Ye treats him, the more chance he will have ............to survive", said this, but the tears couldn't be stopped.
Amber sighed softly: "Madam, the sixth young master is still xiao, saying that he will not follow the martial arts of Hou Ye for a few days, and he feels too tired, so he gives up." Or, when you grow up and have a favorite one, you won't go to the Northwest! "I hope so. Eleven Niang let out a long sigh, "Let's go back!" Brother Jin said that I want to eat braised lion's head today. Speaking of this, she nagged, "Didn't he say he didn't like Jiangnan?" Then why do you have to eat braised lion's head! The braised lion's head is a Jiangnan dish ............", and none of the maids and mothers-in-law who followed behind dared to squeak" all held back their laughter.
The atmosphere is more light.
Hit the fat red head-on.
"Madam, Mrs. Tai, please come and speak."
Since Mrs. Tai fell seriously ill at the beginning of the year, her body has become very weak. Five out of ten days are lying on the netg, relatives and friends come to visit her old man's house to say goodbye, and the family is only asked, and every day with Du's mother, fat red, yù version at home to fight cards or gossip, "I don't go out." Eleven Niang felt that such days were too monotonous, "I deliberately found two literate maids to accompany her", reading some miscellaneous books or Buddhist scriptures every day to relieve Mrs. Tai's boredom.
I just went to ask Ann in the morning, "It's only been less than an hour, and I suddenly went to talk to her, I don't know what happened?"
Eleven Niang thought about it, and went to Mrs. Tai with Fat Hong.
Mrs. Tai is in good spirits" crooked on the big kang near the window, leaning on the big red ink pillow, and playing a fan on the side" A maid arranged by Eleven Niang is reading Buddhist scriptures to Mrs. Tai.
Seeing Eleven Niang come in," Mrs. Tai stroked her forehead and frowned.
"Are you uncomfortable somewhere?" Eleven Niang sat on the side of the kang and asked Mrs. Tai softly.
"It's not!" Mrs. Tai's brows furrowed even tighter, "What am I going to tell you............ I can't remember! "If you can't remember, don't remember." Eleven Niang smiled, "When you remember, you can tell me again." "I remember the ............ just now", Mrs. Tai muttered a little unwillingly, "you let me think about it!" ", the old and the old, the old and the old, the young and the young.
Eleven Niang was very emotional, and took the fan of the xiao maid to help Mrs. Taifan fan, "Why didn't you play cards with Mother Du today?"
Mrs. Tai said absentmindedly: "I asked her to help me with the bracelet."
I remember that I had a bracelet of red agate, why haven't I seen it for a few days......", she said, her eyes widened, "I was enlightened, "by the way" I remembered. Then he took Eleven Niang's hand, "I was about to ask you, "What are you going to do about Brother Jie'er's marriage?" Danyang said that Sister Xin's wedding date is scheduled for March next year. Brother Jie'er is an elder brother, he is not married, how can Sister Xin marry well? I think, you better hurry up and settle the marriage of Brother Jie'er! Eleven Niang was frightened into a cold sweat when she heard this.
and not brothers and sisters in the same room", how can there be such exquisiteness. Even if the brother and sister of the same mother are close, there are sisters who marry in front of their brothers. The main thing is Mrs. Tai's tone, as if Brother and Sister Xin are compatriots of the same mother.
Mrs. Tai, what's the matter?
"Yingniang hasn't reached yet. It's a distant marriage again", she said with a smile, "Xiao will discuss it when it is decided, and wait for Yingniang to get married again." "Oh! Mrs. Tai nodded, looking like she was suddenly open, "I'll just say, how can I tell my brother not to marry a daughter-in-law!" Then he said, "Okay, it's okay, you go and get busy with yours!" I asked Mama Du to play cards with me. ”
Eleven Niang smiled, but in the next few days, she carefully observed Mrs. Tai, and now Mrs. Tai didn't say "Sometimes a sentence is repeated several times" The previous sentence was said, and the latter sentence was forgotten.
"Hou Ye" she said with a mouthful, "I'm afraid it's better to fight ...... than to remember xìng"
Xu Lingyi was a little puzzled.
Eleven Niang told him about her current situation, and as she was talking, a xiao maid came in and said, "The second lady is here!" The two hurriedly stopped the topic.
"I think my mother is ...... now I don't remember much............ Sometimes it's ............ to speak", the second lady looked at Eleven Niang, and then at Xu Lingyi, as if she didn't know what to say.
Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang couldn't help but glance at each other.
The second lady only occasionally went to greet Mrs. Tai, "I didn't expect her to show up."
"Eleven Niang also told me about this just now!" After a while, Xu Lingyi said euphemistically, "I'll ask Doctor Liu to come and see it tomorrow............ If not, let her move to the main courtyard. We also have a response. Eleven Niang felt that Mrs. Tai was mostly suffering from geriatric diseases caused by the decline of her body's organs. This disease is useless and gets worse with age...... There are no boundaries of time. Mrs. Tai lives in a courtyard by herself, surrounded by maids and daughters-in-law, so naturally she is not good at living with them.
"Brother Jin has moved out, I'll pack up all the things and the wings," she summed up, "barely enough!" "You have a lot of business, and people often come to visit, and it is inconvenient for my mother to move over. The second lady said, "I think, let's let Mrs. Tai move to where I live?" Speaking of this, she immediately denied it, "The steps are too high for me to get in and out", "She hesitated for a moment, "I'll move to my mother's place!" "How can this work! Eleven Niang hurriedly said, "The second sister-in-law still has to write a book......
The second lady waved her hand gently: "That's all Xiao business." It's important for me to take care of my mother. He said, "Stand up," and the matter was settled. He said, "I looked at Eleven Niang, "Fourth brother and sister, you will send a few Xiao servants to carry the cage for me early tomorrow morning." As for my mother, she said that I had nothing to do these days, and that I would live with her old man for a few days. Everything was arranged, and the attitude was resolute.
"This matter, let's wait for the results of the imperial doctor to come out." Eleven Niang said, "If my mother is really old and her memory is getting worse and worse, the fifth uncle and the fifth brother and sister, we also have to say hello." The days are long, and the second sister-in-law can't always be obeyed like this. After I discuss it with my five siblings, we will arrange a charter to come out. Second sister-in-law, what do you see? "Don't bother. The second lady said, "One of you wants to preside over the feed, the other wants to take care of the children, and you have to prepare the dowry ...... for Sister Xin'er", she didn't speak, Xu Lingyi said: "I think it's according to what Shi Niang said, please ask the doctor to see first, the mother is really unwell, and then we will sit down and discuss it!" He expressed his attitude, the second lady is not good to say anything" chatted a few words about Mrs. Tai's abnormality, and then got up and said goodbye.
The next day, Liu Yizheng came, only saying that Mrs. Tai was "old, it is inevitable that the back of the ears and eyes will be hua", and asked "arrange more people around to serve and leave", and then prescribed a prescription for yao Wen to make up for it.
Xu Lingyi called Xu Lingning and Xu Lingkuan to discuss the matter of Mrs. Tai, but the second lady moved to Mrs. Tai.
Eleven Niang and Fifth Lady, who were waiting for the results outside, looked at each other and rushed to Mrs. Tai.
On the way, the fifth lady complained to Eleven Niang: "She made a festival fù and now she has to do filial piety...... Isn't there any of our daughters-in-law who are filial! Eleven Niang smiled bitterly.
When I entered Mrs. Tai's yard, I saw Yuuka directing a few rough mothers-in-law to move boxes and cages.
She hurriedly came forward to salute Eleven Niang and Fifth Lady.
If you have a temper, you can't do it in front of the maid.
The fifth lady endured the unhappiness in her heart and nodded with a smile towards Yuuka like Eleven Niang, and went to the inner room.
Mrs. Tai sat on the big kang by the window with a smile, and the second lady knelt behind her, and helped Mrs. Tai fight her head with a serious expression.
In the morning, the golden sunlight came in through the window, as if the second lady had been plated with a layer of gold leaf.
Her expression was calm and calm, "her voice was gentle and kind, and her movements were gentle and soothing" as if Mrs. Tai was fragile bone china: "...... I don't know when the book will be written............ Shaohua Courtyard is deserted, so I'll come to you as a companion! ”
Mrs. Tai was overjoyed when she heard this: "As long as you like it, as long as you like n" and then shouted to Mother Du, "Quick, clean up the warm pavilion, the second lady will rest there." As he was speaking, the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of Eleven Niang and Fifth Lady, "Why are you here?" Then he smiled and took the second lady's hand, "Your second sister-in-law lives in the desert, she is coming to me to join in the fun!" A look of joy.
For a while, Eleven Niang's eyes became a little moist.
"Okay!" , she barely smiled, "It's going to be lively on your side." "Not really! Mrs. Tai was delighted.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but look at the fifth lady who was still very angry before.
The fifth lady was there, looking in a dilemma and struggling. Obviously, the intimacy between the second lady and the wife surprised her very much.
That's how the dust fell. But the matter is not over yet, Mrs. Tai called Xu Lingyi and clearly asked them to hurry up and handle the marriage of Brother Dian'er: "Hurry up before Sister Xin'er!" Xu Lingyi thought for a while and said, "Then no, tell the fourth uncle Nainai?" Let's see if we can do this in advance, so as not to worry about it every day. If it doesn't work, marry in first, and then the older one will be rounded and left.
Eleven Niang could understand Mrs. Tai's mood, and immediately wrote an envelope to Yuhang. In mid-July, Yu Hang sent a letter asking about the specific wedding date.
