Chapter 34: Means (I)
"Later, when you stared at the affairs of the eldest sister's family, I thought you were laughing at me...... That's why I spoke coldly to you. Wu Niang took Eleven Niang's hand, "Good sister, don't take it to heart." It's all my fault, I'm here to accompany you. ”
"Sister, don't do this." Eleven Niang's expression was sincere, "As the saying goes, it's good." A hundred years of repairs can be crossed in the same boat. You and I sisters don't know if it's the fate of several lifetimes. Since it was a misunderstanding, now it's just a matter of talking. ”
Wu Niang nodded, and whispered to Eleven Niang: "Don't talk about this matter for the time being...... You know, eldest sister, she still ......"
Eleven Niang nodded again and again: "I know, I know." Don't worry, you told me the truth, and I will never tell anyone else. ”
Wu Niang's expression was a little shy: "My mother once asked me, who is the best among the sisters?" I said, it's best to ...... with Eleven Sister You can rest assured, too. In case one day, your marriage will be wrapped up in me...... There is also a fourth master to support my aunt...... It won't let you lose. ”
"What did my sister say?" Eleven Niang shook off Wu Niang's hand, looking coquettish.
Wu Niang looked at it and laughed in a low voice.
The two sisters quarreled for a while, and Eleven Niang got up and said goodbye: "...... My sister always jokes about me. ”
Wu Niang didn't leave anyone behind, covered her sleeves and smiled, and sent Eleven Niang to the door.
Turning back, Ziwei said worriedly: "Miss, what if Mrs. Da wants to find someone among the sisters to be a concubine?" After all, the Marquis of Yongping's mansion is noble ......"
"No, it won't." Wu Niang shook her head, her eyes were bright, as if there was a fire burning, "I heard the old people in Jiaoyuan say that the eldest sister looks light, but she is very strong. As long as you feel that there is something inferior to others, you must think of ways to catch up and never show weakness. If what these people said is true, with the character of the eldest sister, it is still possible when she is in good health, but now that she is not in good health, she will never send her sister to be a concubine, and let the future stepfamily ride on the head of the Luo family as a blessing......" As she spoke, she smiled faintly, "So, she can only find a steproom among her sisters!" ”
Ziwei nodded, and said, "Fifth Miss, I heard the news you asked me to hear." ”
Wu Niang raised the corners of her eyebrows and said, "What?" ”
Ziwei's voice was low: "I guessed it for you!" ”
Wu Niang smiled slightly.
"After the eldest master came to Yanjing, he was at home. Said that there is no shortage. Ten days ago, the Ministry of Officials released a Yunnan political envoy...... Now Liu Ge is old again...... I'm afraid that the eldest lord has only Yongping Hou going this way. ”
******
While Wu Niang and Ziwei were talking in a whisper, Eleven Niang and Amber were talking in the warm pavilion behind the bed.
“…… The eldest lord goes out to meet friends every once in a while. Listening to Xinglin's tone, the 1,000 taels of silver given by the eldest lady when she came have long been used up, and now our daily chewing is the grandmother's own silver! ”
It seems that the old man's own path has not gone through!
Eleven Niang secretly thought, and dealt with Amber a little absentmindedly: "It's also possible!" The price of goods in Yanjing is high, and they will add this and that after they come. However, the eldest lady is a strong one, even if she doesn't have it, she won't shorten her daughter-in-law on this. ”
"The young lady is familiar with the character of the eldest lady." Amber smiled and flattered Eleven Niang, but was reprimanded by Eleven Niang: "...... You must not say anything like that again. It's not good to hear. ”
Amber felt a pang in her heart and hurriedly said, "It was me who was wrong. I don't dare to say such things anymore. ”
Eleven Niang didn't want Amber to be too faceless, and seeing that she admitted her mistake, she changed the topic with a smile: "How close is the Yongping Marquis Mansion and this side?" ”
Amber hurriedly said: "Xinglin said that the eldest aunt and grandmother will send some things over every once in a while." When the uncle entered the country, he took the name of the Hou Ye. Hou Ye has personally come twice. Once it was the second day when the eldest lord came to Yanjing, he invited the eldest lord and the eldest master to the most famous Tingli restaurant in Yanjing for dinner; One was on the third day of the Lunar New Year. I brought a small half car of things, and I talked to the uncle for a long time, and stayed for dinner before leaving. ”
Eleven Niang listened and nodded.
It's good that Yongping Hou is close to this side!
Otherwise, the eldest master's career will not go well, and they will not have a good life.
But in this way, I am afraid that no matter what aspect the Luo family considers, they must not lose the family business of the Xu family......
I really hope that the dust will settle on this matter soon, and it will always drag on like this, which makes people's mood become impetuous!
Eleven Niang decided not to think about this problem for the time being.
A slap doesn't make a sound, the Xu family doesn't nod, and the Luo family can only think about it. Wait until tomorrow to go to Xu's house to see the situation and then make plans!
I have made up my mind and am in a much better mood. She asked about Amber sending the dregs: "Let you find someone who is familiar with Lu Yonggui's brother, can you find it?" ”
Amber smiled: "What's going on in our house during this time, it's Hang's mother's son Hang Liu, who is running errands. I tried to ask him, and he said that he didn't know Lu Yonggui, but he and Lu Yongfu were very good, and the two had drunk together. ”
"Then you can do this earlier, and we can also take care of it!"
Amber departed.
Holly looked at Eleven Niang, who looked a little tired, and said with a smile: "Miss, do you want to rest again-you didn't fall asleep until midnight last night, and got up early this morning...... You can't go on like this anymore, be careful of getting sick. ”
"I know." Eleven Niang smiled, and really felt that her head was a little heavy, "I'm lying down with my clothes." The sun is fine today, and you send someone under the eaves to do needlework. If someone comes, wake me up immediately. ”
"You can rest assured." Holly smiled, "I'll stand by the window lattice, and when the people outside cough, I'll pull you up." ”
Eleven Niang smiled and lay on the bed, and muttered in a low voice, "It's really troublesome."
I don't know when I can sleep when I want to sleep and eat when I want...... It's no wonder that Wu Niang wants to fight, with the status of Yuan Niang, at least in that courtyard, she is free......
As soon as she lay down, Holly hurriedly walked in: "Miss, the sixth aunt is here!" ”
Eleven Niang was a little surprised.
What is she here for?
When they were in Yuhang, they never interacted. Occasionally, when I met her to see Twelve Niang, she just nodded to herself and said hello and left......
Eleven Niang thought carefully about what had happened in the past few days.
Nothing special!
Or, is it to speak for the eldest wife? It's not right, the eldest lady has always disliked the aunts and concubines to have more contact. Or, is there something that you bring to the Twelve Niang? It's not right, they just came, and they didn't set a date to return to Yuhang......
The thought was just a fleeting thought.
If she doesn't get an answer, she usually doesn't get into the nitty-gritty. Because sometimes, when you give up completely, you look at it from another angle and make a new discovery.
She got up with a smile: "Please sit at the banquet place!" ”
Holly left in response, Eleven Niang stroked her sideburns, pulled her clothes, and went to the banquet.
The sixth aunt sat in front of the big kang near the window, her expression was a little blank, unlike the usual smile at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and she looked happy.
Such seriousness......
Eleven Niang thought about it and walked over with a smile: "Aunt is here!" ”
The sixth aunt stared at her, did not speak, and looked at her from head to toe and from foot to head, her eyes were extremely serious.
Which one is this singing?
Eleven Niang stood there with a smile and let her look at it generously.
"I want to have a few words with you." The sixth aunt opened her mouth slowly, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she asked the others to avoid it.
What's going on today? One or two, they have to talk to themselves!
Eleven Niang glanced at Holly, and after Holly served tea to Aunt Six, she immediately retreated with the servants in the house.
The sixth aunt picked up the tea lid and gently brushed the floating leaves in the tea cup, and said with a smile: "The fifth aunt knows that Mother Yao wants to tell Holly to her nephew, and she cried all over me and said, Holly is the most powerful person around you, and Mother Yao wants someone who is not good, so she wants her to go." How will you live in the future! ”
Eleven Niang was a little surprised.
She never knew that the fifth aunt had cried in front of the sixth aunt......
"The fifth aunt came to me to discuss." The sixth aunt smiled kindly, "I discussed with the fifth aunt for a long time, but there was no good way." is worried, who knows, you said, 'Yao's mother said that his nephew was looking at the girl all over the yard, and he fell in love with Holly. I was with Holly every day, and I didn't know where his nephew had seen Holly' made the eldest lady change her mind. I was thinking, Holly is a blessed person to serve a master like you. I don't know if our family's twelve mothers have her blessings, and they can get your protection in the future! ”
Eleven Niang was stunned.
The sixth aunt has already smiled: "Miss Eleven, speaking of which, I have lived in the same room with the fifth aunt for several years, and we are like sisters. There is only you under the knees of the fifth aunt, and there are only twelve mothers under my knees. Knowing that the two of you have lived in the Green Cloud Building together, Aunt Wu and I don't know how happy we are. I hope you can be like us, like sisters, and everything will be taken care of in the future. As she spoke, she sighed, "You know that too." In the past, in Yuhang, neither the fifth aunt nor I dared to go to the Green Tower. But we love you no less. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken the risk of admonishing you! ”
Eleven Niang was stunned.
"Actually, the eldest lady brought you and Wu Niang to Yanjing, which is what the eldest aunt and grandmother meant." The sixth aunt's voice was faint, giving people a heartfelt coldness, "The eldest aunt and grandmother are not in good health, and I want to find a good pinch from my sister to take care of Brother Chen." With your cleverness, you must have guessed this matter. ”
Shi Niang lowered her head and took a sip of tea, neither denying nor admitting it.
"But there's one more thing you don't know." The sixth aunt said in a calm tone, "It's me, and I only heard about it last night." ”
Eleven Niang listened to her quietly.
There was already a mockery in the eyes of the sixth aunt that could not be concealed: "Yuan Niang also wants to choose one of her sisters to be Wang Lang, the only son of the Duke of Maoguo, as her daughter-in-law." ”
