Chapter 145: Friends (I)
Aunt Wen had something to say, which surprised Eleven Niang.
does not mention the Xu and Wen families, but the Tiluo and Wen families...... Thinking of the first time she saw Yuan Niang, Yuan Niang proposed to let Wu Xiaoquan go to Yangzhou to visit the Wen family, and said, "The people of the Wen family will definitely treat him with courtesy", and thought of the reconciliation that day, Yuan Niang made a lot of money, and it was also the last five or six years, although there was no loss before, and there was no profit like later. Besides, looking at Lu Yonggui's age, he was only in his teens when he got married, and he didn't have a left shoulder or right arm, how could he achieve today's climate. At that time, the Xu family couldn't take care of themselves, and even if they had the strength to help, it was limited. Thinking about Yuan Niang's attitude towards the Wen family again...... Eleven Niang faintly appeared that Yuan Niang had made a lot of money through Wen's in recent years.
She and Yuan Niang have different ideas.
A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way.
If you want to rely on the Wen family to make money, how can you straighten your waist and speak in front of Aunt Wen.
Eleven Niang sipped tea with a smile and said, "I'm really busy these days. Grandma Wen San has received her kindness, and you will have a chance to meet again in the future! ”
rejected Aunt Wen very clearly.
Aunt Wen's face turned a little pale when she heard this, and she said reluctantly: "Sister, Grandma Wen San wants to see you because she brought you a gift from Yangzhou......
Eleven Niang smiled and shouted Amber: "Send off the guests!" I'm going to say hello to Mrs. Tai. ”
Aunt Wen's face suddenly became very embarrassed, but she still said with a smile: "Sister, it is the ruby and lapis lazuli brought by the third master of the Wen family from the West, all of them are the size of pigeon eggs, and there are several pairs of three-foot-high corals......
reminds Shi Niang of those very good salesmen - until the end, do not give up their efforts.
But she understands a truth better.
The mouth of the cannibal is short, and the hand of the taker is short.
Without pause, she got up and entered the inner room.
Amber didn't see it, and said to Aunt Wen with a smile: "Auntie, it's not early, I sent a little maid to send you back!" ”
Aunt Wen stood there, quietly looked at the back of Eleven Niang, frowned lightly at the corners of her eyebrows, and bowed and retreated.
Amber sends her to the East Corner Gate to turn back.
Qiu Hong helped Aunt Wen to her house.
On the way, I met the embroidered whirlpool. She was smiling like a flower, and she was standing at the door of her house with Lu Pozi muttering. Seeing Aunt Wen, she nodded from afar and continued to talk to Mrs. Lu.
Qiu Hong's face changed and said, "Auntie, this Aunt Qiao is too big......
Aunt Wen smiled indifferently: "People just take the big, what can we do." I heard that Hou Ye rested in her house again yesterday......"
Qiu Hong couldn't help biting her lip when she heard this: "Auntie, while the third master is in Beijing this time, it is better to send two Yangzhou thin horses to ......"
Aunt Wen smiled bitterly when she heard this: "Instead of sending Yangzhou thin horses, it is better to persuade the third uncle to let his nails not be so deep." I'm afraid it will work better. ”
While talking, the two entered their own courtyard.
There are three main rooms with ear rooms, only one wing room in the east, a rockery of Taihu Lake stone in the middle, and a row of holly trees in the corner of the courtyard. The yard was quiet, there was no little maid standing in front of the door and curtaining, only a mother who answered the door.
When the mother saw Aunt Wen, her face was immediately full of smiles: "Aunt is back!" ”
Aunt Wen nodded expressionlessly and entered the west room of the main room. Another maid, Donghong, was doing needlework, and when she heard the movement, she hurriedly greeted her.
took off her cloak, and Aunt Wen leaned on the big pillow with a somewhat solemn expression.
Dong Hong saw that her face was wrong, carefully changed her shoes, and brought hot water to serve her to clean her face.
Aunt Wen's expression was in a trance, and when she cleaned her face, she asked Qiuhong: "Second Manager Wen is still waiting in the gatehouse?" ”
Qiu Hong put away the cloak and said in a low voice, "I should still be waiting for news from my aunt." ”
Aunt Wen was stunned for a while, and instructed Dong Hong: "You go and tell Second Manager Wen that Mrs. Wen is going to serve Mrs. Tai today, and he must not be idle, let him go back first, and wait for my news." ”
Dong Hong left in response.
Qiu Hong came up with hot tea and said in a low voice: "Auntie, if Madame doesn't change her mind......
"Let's wait a few days. Maybe there will be a turnaround in the next few days! ”
Qiu Hong listened and stopped.
Aunt Wen smiled: "You dead girl, what can't you say!" He added, "Is there something at home that you want to borrow?" Your aunt has nothing else but money. How much does it cost? The tone was a little stunned.
Qiu Hong listened and said angrily: "When did I say that there was something wrong at home." As he spoke, the corners of his eyes were wet, "I see you working so hard but you don't please both sides, and I feel uncomfortable." He took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, "Speaking of which, the money in your hand is enough for you to spend a lifetime." In my opinion, you might as well pretend to be deaf and dumb and enjoy the blessings. ”
"There is no pure blessing to be enjoyed in this world." Aunt Wen smiled helplessly when she heard this, "You think I don't want to." But I have to have that life. I can let these ladies and maids take a look at the Xu family, in the final analysis, it's just a few dollars. Without the Wen family, this money is dead, and if you put it at home, you can't move, and you can just support it for a few years. With the Wen family, this money is alive, and money can make money, so we can use gold and silver. Regardless of the affairs of the Wen family, if I don't rely on the Wen family, can I rely on the Hou Ye to go? ”
Autumn red language stopper.
Since that year, my aunt helped the family win the weaving business of the Internal Affairs Office, and the Hou Ye and my aunt were separated. But compared with the Wen family, she felt that it was more rewarding to rely on Hou Ye. After all, my aunt is now the concubine of the Xu family.
She persuaded Aunt Wen: "I see that Sister Zhen is going to get married in two years." She and the maid you haven't been close to ......."
Aunt Wen's eyes were a little straight when she listened.
In the past, Sister Zhen was also raised by her side. She told Sister Zhen to memorize the "six or six formulas" she was going to make, and Mrs. Tai heard it, and Mrs. Tai immediately left Sister Zhen in her house and never let her come back. At that time, Sister Zhen was only one and a half years old......
Her voice couldn't help but lower: "I know, what's the matter." As long as she's doing well. If you can please Mrs. Tai, and then find a wishful husband to marry in the future, what does it have to do with whether I am close or not. What's more, I'm an aunt for others, so what's decent to say. Everyone goes their own way, and they are at peace. "There is a glow of water in the corner of the eye.
The sons and daughters of the Wen family can speak and will recite the "six or six formulas", although Sister Zhen is the eldest lady of the Hou Ye, but she always has to eat grains, and after learning some skills in managing accounts, she will get twice the result with half the effort. It's the second lady, who counts the accounts faster than the old steward who has been in the house for decades, so that those people can be suppressed, and when the Hou Ye is not there, the stewards at home will not dare to have a bad heart...... She didn't understand what was wrong with her teaching her sister's mantra. In the final analysis, I think she is from a humble background and is not worthy of the identity of the biological mother of Miss Yongping Hou...... can marry into the Xu family, and it is not her willing......
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but close her eyes.
A crystal teardrop fell from the snow-white cheeks.
Eleven Niang saw the folded amber and breathed a sigh of relief: "But I can send Aunt Wen away!" ”
Amber covered her mouth and smiled, "I see that your attitude just now was very firm. ”
"For someone like Aunt Wen, if you hesitate a little, she will immediately become arrogant, and maybe she will follow up with the inner room. Can I still call the rough mother-in-law to beat her out! ”
Amber chuckled under her breath.
"By the way, did Wan Daxian send someone to report the news?"
"Go." Amber smiled, "What kind of 'Rubik's Cube' you asked me to make yesterday, I also handed over the drawings to Mr. Bai. ”
Eleven Niang smiled: "When I was young, I never managed to turn all six sides neatly. As he spoke, he blinked, "This time I am also embarrassed by others!" ”
Amber saw that she was in a good mood, and she was happy. stepped forward to serve her and changed her clothes, and took Lu Yun to accompany Eleven Niang to Mrs. Tai.
Wei Zi winked at Amber.
Amber bowed slightly, sent Eleven Niang into the house, and went to the ear room on the side - maids like them have nothing to do, and they can't just follow in to see Mrs. Tai.
Qiu Aya next to the third lady was also there, and Amber affectionately shouted "Sister Qiu Aya".
Qiu Aya smiled and nodded at her, but there was no usual smile on her face, and she looked thoughtful.
Amber didn't know what Wei Zi was looking for her, so she and Qiu Aya vaguely confessed, and ran to the veranda with the birdcage to feed the birds with the little maid.
After a while, Wei Zi came out and said with a smile: "What are you doing here?" It's so cold, be careful of freezing. This Chinese New Year, if you are sick and sent to another hospital to recuperate, your wife will be in a hurry. ”
Amber took Wei Zi's arm when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Sister Wei Zi is really careful, no wonder Mrs. Tai can't leave her sister for a moment." ”
As they spoke, they went to the chamber.
Wei Zi said in a low voice: "The second lady asked the chief manager to send a little maid named Xiao Luzi, saying that he was her companion, and he was still clever and could read a few words. It's a pity to stay with yourself. Let Master Hou arrange an errand for him. Hou Ye arranged people in the second young master's house and said that the second young master would be his entourage. The letter is still in the hands of Mr. Bai! ”
Amber was shocked when she heard this, but she didn't dare to show half a point on her face, for fear of being seen by Wei Zi, thinking that Eleven Niang couldn't tolerate the second young master. But I can't help but thank her for her kindness. He only smiled: "Thank you, Sister Wei Zi." As soon as I got back, I told our wife. ”
After a few words, the two of them had arrived at the door of the ear room, Amber went to the ear room, and Wei Zi took the little girl's hot tea and entered the house.
The fourth lady was talking to Mrs. Tai: "...... I don't have anything to do, I eat and sleep every day, and I eat when I sleep. It's naturally good to be able to help the third sister-in-law. It's just that I'm stupid, and if there's anything wrong, I ask my third sister-in-law to give me advice. As he spoke, he stood up and blessed the third lady.
The third lady carried the fourth lady with a smile on her face: "I am a teenager for my fourth brother and sister, and I say that I am a younger sister, and I treat you like a niece." Don't worry, I'll teach you in detail. There will be no problem! ”
The fourth lady smiled and thanked the third lady.
Wei Zi took the opportunity to change the tea again.
But he muttered in his heart: What's wrong with the third lady? Suddenly ask the fourth lady to help the housekeeper? Didn't she hate it most when others meddled in her business?
