In the laughter, Xu's mother led everyone to take a seat, the eldest grandmother commanded the maids to serve the food, the sixth aunt stood beside the eldest man to help the cloth vegetables, and Brother Xu's own nurse sat at another table, so there were only the eldest lord, the eldest wife, Luo Zhenxing, Wu Niang and Eleven Niang on the round table, and there were three embroidery piers left.

The eldest lord waved his hand and said, "There are no outsiders here, let's all sit down and eat!" ”

The people in the room froze, and then looked at the eldest lady.

One is his daughter-in-law, and the other is his own right-hand man, the eldest lady naturally will not object at this time, and said with a smile: "What the master said is true." There are no outsiders here, so let's sit down and eat! ”

The eldest grandmother smiled and sat next to Luo Zhenxing, and the sixth aunt blessed the eldest master and the eldest lady to sit on the embroidery pier, but Xu's mother insisted on not sitting: "...... They are all masters, and there is no place for slaves and maids to sit. ”

The eldest lady saw that the eldest master was indifferent, and asked Xu Ma to sit more and more, and even went down to persuade Xu Ma in person: "Yuan Niang and Brother Xing were all brought up by you since childhood, if you don't sit, who is still qualified to sit." ”

When the sixth aunt heard this, she was a little restless.

Mother Xu didn't sit down when she saw that it was not good, so she smiled and half-sat on the embroidery pier: "Then I will trespass." ”

The eldest lord smiled and instructed the maid in charge of serving the food, Xinglin, to "serve the food".

This apricot forest is the grandmother's personal maid, and since they moved into this house, they have been helping the grandmother housekeeper.

Hearing the eldest master's order, she immediately answered "yes" and passed the little maids to serve the food.

Yellow croaker with pickled cabbage, vinegar fish from West Lake, shredded chicken with silver buds, crystal elbow, beauty liver, stewed crab roe lion's head...... They are all familiar Jiangnan dishes, and a table is full. Just when everyone thought that the dishes had been served, Xinglin brought a bowl of red, white and white paste and put it in front of the eldest lady: "The eldest lady, this is specially ordered by the eldest master to make it for you." ”

The eldest lady was slightly stunned.

The eldest man has already said: "This is Yanjing's famous pimple soup, the red one is tomato, a very rare thing, from Guangdong." The white is the noodles, sour and sweet, which is very different from what we have over there. Appetizer, you taste. ”

The eldest lady let out an "oh", and with a somewhat dazed expression, she picked up the spoon and tasted it.

The eldest man smiled and asked her, "How?" It's still to taste! ”

The eldest lady looked stunned when she heard this, and said with a smile: "As the master said, this soup is sweet and sour, and it is very appetizing." Thank you, sir! ”

The old man smiled, took the chopsticks and sandwiched the yellow croaker in the chopsticks, and the others began to move the chopsticks.

Everyone behaved elegantly, chewing slowly, and there was no sound on the table except for the slight sound of porcelain clattering.

After eating, the maids served tea. The eldest lady suddenly said to Wu Niang and Eleven Niang: "Tomorrow you will also go with me to meet your eldest sister!" ”

Both of them were shocked, but they quickly restrained their emotions and responded with a smile of "yes".

Because the time is not early, Brother Wu usually sleeps, and at this time he rubs his eyes and makes a little noise.

When the eldest lady saw this, she instructed the eldest grandmother: "Bring Brother Su to my house...... I have a wall of fire and a warm pavilion in my house, unlike you, where you have to light a brazier. ”

"Mother!" Listening to Luo Zhenxing's tone, he didn't seem to agree very much.

The eldest grandmother hurriedly grabbed her husband in front and said, "That's what my mother said, then I'll let my mother move Brother Xu's things over." ”

The eldest lady smiled and nodded.

Luo Zhenxing's eyes flashed a little helpless.

The eldest lady laughed at him: "Don't worry, your mother is not old and confused." Brother Xu, I spoil him, but if he makes a mistake, I won't tolerate it. I won't teach your son badly. ”

At this moment, Luo Zhenxing had no choice but to get up and thank the eldest lady.

The eldest lady covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "It's not early today, you all go down and rest!" ”

Luo Zhenxing and the eldest grandmother, Wu Niang and Eleven Niang asked An to retire. Luo Zhenxing and his wife went back to the inverted room, and Wu Niang and Eleven Niang went back to the back room.

On the way, Wu Niang said with a smile: "When you go to the eldest sister tomorrow, you have to dress up beautifully, don't lose the face of the eldest sister." ”

Eleven Niang smiled: "I don't know what to wear tomorrow, why don't my sister come and help me take a look!" ”

Wu Niang sneered: "How dare I? Some people have a lot of ideas! After saying that, he walked away with his face raised.

Eleven Niang couldn't help sighing.

Unexpectedly, Wu Niang's reaction was so big...... However, she is nineteen years old this year, and the marriageable person is already very narrow, and this eagerness can be understood. However, what if Luo Yuanniang just wants to find someone from the sisters to be a concubine to fix a pet or have a child? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Luo Yuanniang's health is not good, and she wants to find someone from among her sisters to take care of her young and frail son instead, it will have to wait for her to return to the west! If Luo Yuanniang delays for a year, won't she wait for a year, and if it drags on for two years, won't she wait for two years...... Isn't it too risky to gamble on luck with a future that you can't grasp at all and is full of uncertainties?

Thinking of this, Eleven Niang couldn't help but be stunned.

Could it be that this is the original intention of the eldest lady to bring them here!

If Yuan Niang can wait, it's her...... If Yuan Niang can't wait, it's Wu Niang......

She felt like her mind was a little messy!

What about the other party to the marriage, the Xu family?

They are more prominent than the Luo family, more powerful than the Luo family, will they be at the mercy of the Luo family like this?

Or, does Yuan Niang have a way to convince the Xu family?

Eleven Niang's heart was in a mess, she didn't sleep well all night, and when she got up in the morning, there was an obvious green shadow under her eyes.

Holly boiled an egg and put it on her eyelids: "It can always fade a little." lest the eldest lady see it and ask again. You can't answer that you know the bed! ”

Eleven Niang laughed: "You even helped me find an excuse." ”

Holly hates that iron is not made of steel: "Miss has this leisure, let's think about this afternoon!" ”

"We don't know the real intentions of people, so no matter how much we prevent it, it's useless." When it came to the number one, Eleven Niang calmed down, "Now I can only observe quietly." Then he said to Amber: "You will go out for a walk later." Although most of them are grandmothers here, there must be people from the eldest wife around the master, as well as the aunt's side, you can find a way to inquire and see how the eldest master and the uncle are doing in Yanjing? I saw that yesterday, the aunt and grandmother suddenly came to greet the eldest lady, and the eldest and the eldest uncle were very surprised. You also have to ask your aunt and grandmother if they are usually diligent in walking around here? ”

Amber had a serious expression: "Don't worry, Miss, I know what to do!" ”

"Just let Holly and Binju accompany me—I'll have to freshen up later, or the eldest lady will think that I don't pay attention to going to the Yongping Marquis Mansion." As for Qiu Ju and Zhu Xiang, it would be best if they could help you. You just ask them to run errands for you. There are also things that Wu's mother asked us to bring. After all, we are guests at the Xu family, we are not familiar with the place, and it is always bad to trouble people, Amber, you can also ask, see if there are any people who are familiar with the Xu family here, if you can help with this matter, it would be better. ”

A few maids listened respectfully to Eleven Niang's instructions, and Mother Xu came.

Eleven Niang suppressed the surprise in her heart and greeted Mother Xu: "What does Mom command?" ”

Mother Xu smiled: "Don't you dare to command." It's just that on the order of the eldest lady, let me see what clothes Miss Eleven is going to wear to the Yongping Marquis Mansion. ”

It's taken so seriously......

Eleven Niang was secretly frightened.

She had wanted to wear a silver-red gown...... In this way, she will not only look thin but also look thin, if Yuan Niang asks, when the time comes, she will imply that Yuan Niang's own health is very poor with seasickness...... Besides, seasickness is a fact, and even the eldest lady can't find anything wrong with it.

No matter what purpose Yuan Niang wants to come to Yanjing by herself, under the important premise of "no filial piety has three, no queen is great", a girl who is not in good health means that the heir is difficult, then her chances of being selected will be much less...... Otherwise, the old lady of the Xu family would not have not not only stopped the medicine for the house after Yuan Niang's miscarriage, but also accepted a concubine room for her son!

Thinking of this, Eleven Niang calmed down a little.

Speaking of which, this idea was inspired by Shi Niang - she can "asthma" whenever she wants......

But now, the idea is at least half scrapped.

Deep boudoir women have a lot of time, and most of them are turned into how to dress themselves. Not to mention the eldest wife, even Mother Xu also has good insights. And Master Jian, who taught them female red, also took the trouble to tell them all kinds of complex color combinations, not only for embroidery, but also for how to dress more decently...... Eleven Niang can pretend to be in the limelight, so she wears silver red, but she can't continue to wear it after trying the effect of silver red.

These thoughts were just a flash in her mind, and she smiled and asked Holly to help her take out the goose-yellow pure face four happiness pattern makeup gown, and then handed the hairpin and bead flower in the red silver pearl head that Mrs. Shi gave her to Xu's mother: "How do you look like this?" ”

Mother Xu nodded with a smile, with deep approval in her eyes: "Miss Eleven looks delicate, it is most suitable to wear these plain colors and these delicate accessories...... It is worthy of being a person who learned embroidery from Master Jian. ”

Eleven Niang secretly smiled bitterly in her heart.

As soon as Xu's mother left, she ate all the eggs that Holly used to dress her eyelids, and almost swallowed it, so that Binju laughed at her: "Miss is hungry on the boat, and now everything is delicious!" ”

Eleven Niang ignored her and went to the eldest grandmother.

There are seven main rooms in the inverted house, because the east side of the ear room let out a warm room for the night woman, and the tip room made a hanging flower door, and the ear room has become a small flower garden, only the west side has a three-room wing room, not to mention compared with the main courtyard, it is compared with the back cover room where Wu Niang and Eleven Niang live, are less than one-third of the area.

When Eleven Niang entered, there were five or six women around Xinglin next to the flower garden in front of the weeping flower door, the expression on Xinglin's face was a little impatient, and when she saw Eleven Niang, she greeted her from afar: "Miss Eleven, you are here!" As he spoke, he pushed away the woman who was gathered around him and greeted him.

"I'm just here to see my sister-in-law," Shi Niang smiled, "You have something to do, don't delay." ”

Xinglin looked greatly relieved, and said with a smile: "Thanks to you for coming, otherwise, you can't get out, so why delay." ”

Eleven Niang smiled and didn't ask her what happened, but said, "Grandma is in the house?" ”

(The power went out, the water was flooded, and it took half an hour to find an Internet café that was still open, and it was more common to see the sound of the trouser tube dripping...... So even I don't know if there are two more ......~~~~~(>_<)~~~)
