In the next two days, Xu Lingyi asked Mr. Bai to discuss building a house. Xu Lingkuan was very interested when he heard it. Take the initiative to undertake the design of the house. Although the New Year has passed, the school has not yet started in the clan school, and the whereabouts of the third master are unknown, Mrs. Tai is vague and did not let Xu Siqin and Xu Siyu move back to the house in the outer courtyard. The two were so happy that they ran around behind Xu Lingkuan and participated in the construction of the house. Eleven Niang led Sister Zhen to do needlework. Xu Sijie followed Eleven Niang all day long. Brother Zhen and Sister Zhen have always been very good, and they like Xu Sijie, so they circle around the two. Xu Sijian is not only interested in building a house, but also wants to play with Sister Zhen and Brother Zhen, for a while in the east and in the west, every day is as cheerful as the New Year.

Wan Yizong and Chang Jiuhe came to see Eleven Niang. The former is here to resign, and he and his two sons will be hired by Chen Ping to help him plant fruit trees. The latter came to ask for money from Shi Niang - the house that had been crushed by the snow had been repaired, and he and his son were plowing the fields, just waiting to buy seeds for spring planting.

Eleven Niang took out the New Year's money, gave Wan Yizong ten taels of silver to subsidize him, and gave Chang Jiuhe forty taels of silver for spring ploughing.

Liu Ruichun's family went to the house, saying that they were entrusted by the Wanyi family to let Shi Niang give a matchmaker. Eleven Niang wrote the eight characters of Holly's Shenggeng in red and sprinkled with gold, and Totao's mother gave it to Liu Ruichun's house.

To the hept sticker. You have to count the eight characters. Only when the eight characters are combined can we say the next step. If these eight characters do not match, the man will tear two feet of cloth, and then ask the matchmaker to return the Geng sticker. So although everyone knows about it, no one preaches it. When I got to Shi Shi Niang, I had already started rummaging through the boxes and cabinets to help Holly prepare the clothes for the wedding. Holly was embarrassed and avoided the sisters, often doing needlework in Nanyong's daughter-in-law's room.

Nan Yong's daughter-in-law took Shuangyu to live in Aunt Qin's yard on the eleventh day of the first month. Once, their girl cried so much. Nan Yong couldn't bear to look at it, and secretly brought the child to see his daughter-in-law. When Aunt Wen's side Yu'er saw it, she told Luyun, and Luyun told Amber, and Amber told Eleven Niang. Eleven Niang thought about it for a while, and simply asked Nan Yong's daughter-in-law to take Niu'er with her: "One cow is herded, and two cows are also raised." She calmly helped me with my brother, which is better than anything else. What's more, Niu'er and Brother Jie'er are about the same age, and they are each other's companions, and it's good for Brother Jie'er. ”

Nan Yong's daughter-in-law was very grateful and kowtowed to Eleven Niang a few times. It's never big, and only lets the girl play in the small ear room or in the garden on weekdays. Fortunately, the child grew up in the yard, not afraid of life, at a young age, but he knows how to hand things to the maids in the yard, everyone likes it, you bring it when you are free, she takes it when she is free, and the girl loves to laugh more and more, so that Sister Zhen and Brother Yu will use candy to coax her to play when they see it. The laughter in the courtyard attracted the attention of the other people in the house.

It was a few days of bustling and noisy people. Luo Da * milk is here.

Brother Zhen took her hand and shouted, "Auntie, why didn't you bring Brother Xu?" We have brothers, sisters and brothers, and Brother Xu, who is so pitiful at home alone. ”

Luo Da * smiled reluctantly: "Bring Brother Wu next time." He took a silver coin and rewarded a few children, and went to the warm pavilion with Eleven Niang to talk.

"I'm so angry that I can't do anything about it. I'll come to you for a cup of tea and then I'll go. She looked angry, "Otherwise, I won't have a good face when I go home." Let your big brother worry in vain. ”

Eleven Niang looked at it and knew that Luo Da * Milk had gone to the Maoguo Mansion and came back. poured tea with his own hands and let the little maid serve dessert: "You are so angry here, maybe it's funny over there." You still have to open a little, so as not to get angry. Can't make it. ”

"Everyone understands the truth." Grandma Luo drank a few sips of hot tea before she spoke, "But when it's your turn, you may not be able to control it." ”

Eleven Niang smiled and moved the dish with pea yellow to Luo Da*'s hand, and motioned for her to eat something.

Luo Da * Grandma shook her head and said, "The group of side branch relatives of the Wang family is really not a thing, and they actually said that our family is ten Niang Kefu behind their backs." also said that he would let Shi Niang move to the temple to live. The aunt and grandmother of their family did not stop it. I don't think it's okay to expect to sit down with the Wang family and discuss this matter! As he spoke, he let out a long breath, revealing a little sadness, "Shi Niang is really unlucky!" ”

Eleven Niang was silent.

Now is just the beginning, but I am afraid that there will be more ugly things to say in the future.

Just thinking about it, a little maid came in and said, "Madam, the mother next door to Hou Lin's grandmother in Weibei came to greet you." ”

"Come in, please!" Eleven Niang said busily. Then he turned around and explained to Luo Da*, "Sister Zhen is back from Xishan. I brought some self-made food, fragrant dew, incense and the like, and sent someone to send some to Sister Hui of the Lin family, thinking that I came to thank Sister Zhen. ”

Seeing that she had a guest, Grandma Luo got up to say goodbye.

Eleven Niang left her: "It's not an outsider." I also happened to have something to say to my sister-in-law. ”

Seeing this, Luo Da * Grandma still sat down.

Lin Da*'s mother brought some cloth over, saying that it was a fragrance from Sister Xie Zhen'er. also said: "Our sister Hui hasn't seen Sister Zhen for a while, and I want to come and visit." Then he took the post and gave it to Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang responded with a smile, and asked Amber to invite Sister Zhen to pick up the post, and discussed coming over on the twenty-eighth day of the first month to get together. Then let Mother Tao send the two mothers of the Lin family out of the door.

She asked Sister Zhen to write a sub-post: "Invite Aunt Twelve over to be lively!" She's bored at home alone. ”

Sister Zhen smiled and went to write a post. Eleven Niang still talked to Luo Da*: "What's the situation on the Wang family's side?" ”

"It's a mess." Grandma Luo shook her head, "Grandpa Guo sits in the study every day, and the old lady hides her face and weeps, and she doesn't care about anything at home." As for Aunt Ten, she was already a non-councilor, but now she doesn't care more and more. Blindly shut yourself in the house. Fortunately, Jin Lian and Yinhua took care of Zhou Xiang, and their food and clothing were not without regulations. The family affairs are all up to the eldest aunt and grandmother to make up their minds. It's just that the eldest aunt and grandmother have to run around for the affairs of the tenth aunt, and they can't take care of the affairs of the family very much. The relatives of those side branches were all thicker than the city wall, and they found a courtyard to live in on their own, and they were all in the house to eat, and they couldn't leave. Then the men and women were divided into several people, the men guarded the grandfather of the country, and the women guarded the old lady, not leaving an inch, for fear that they would be left alone and robbed by others. Acting obscenely and speaking harshly. It's like a small family that has never seen the world. made a few stewards dare not come forward, they can hide, they can dodge, they can dodge, they can push, and they all shrank and didn't dare to come out. As he spoke, he lowered his voice. I heard from the silver bottle that some of the furnishings in the old lady's house were gone. There were also people who broke into the house of the tenth aunt, and if it weren't for Jin Lian and the silver bottle to drive people away, the tenth aunt and grandmother would not have been spared. As she spoke, her tone paused and showed a little uneasiness, "I also came to discuss this matter with you." ”

Luo Da * Milk is knowledgeable and interesting, not the kind of reckless person. Since you ask for it in front of yourself, it must be something you can do.

Eleven Niang didn't think about it, and immediately said, "Sister-in-law, please speak." As long as I can do it, I will do my best. ”

Grandma Luo Da* bowed slightly, but hesitated for a moment before saying: "I don't think that group of relatives want to do things with any face, and I'm worried that they will hit the dowry of the tenth aunt...... I thought, if it really doesn't work, why don't you send a few tall and rough envoys to the mother-in-law, and transfer her dowry to the Zhuangzi where you are married......" Having said that, she also felt that this matter was inappropriate, but there was no other way, "I can't let those people mess with it." It's not very suitable to move to Gongxian Hutong - the people of the Wang family may still think that our Luo family is competing with their family for industry," he said, smiling bitterly, "The Zhuangzi that the tenth aunt and grandmother married is in the south again...... It's just you here. Master Hou's family has a big business, and no one believes that he will covet the widow's aunt's marriage, but only that he is supporting the tenth aunt and grandmother. ”

The relatives of the Wang family said that Shi Niang Kefu wanted her to move to the temple to live, and they broke in to get Shi Niang's things...... Luo Da's worries are not unreasonable. It's just that in this way, the Xu family will definitely be involved. Doing good deeds does not mean that it will be reciprocated, but it cannot make people resentful.

Eleven Niang muttered: "Sister-in-law, I have an idea, do you think it's appropriate?" Then he said, "Let's say that the tenth sister took the letter to the bowstring alley, saying that she was unwell and there was no old man around her who could serve." Let's send a few people to instruct the golden lotus and the silver bottle. I'll help find a few more proper rough mothers-in-law. If anyone dares to mess around, just beat them up. I don't believe it, and I can't shake those people. ”

"That's a good idea!" Luo Da * milk praised.

She also thought about this idea, but once the Luo family was not a local, the people brought in it were too few to use, so where could she draw someone to use it for Shi Niang. Second, I can't find the right person for a while. This kind of mother-in-law should be stout and spicy. The poor family doesn't know the roots, maybe they will guard and steal themselves, then they will lead the wolf into the house, and the gains outweigh the losses. Sanlai thought that there was a mother-in-law on the eleventh mother-in-law and a concubine on the bottom, and she was afraid that borrowing someone from her would make her embarrassed. Now that Eleven Niang has taken the initiative to put it forward, she naturally has a few confidences. If she didn't involve other people and helped Shi Niang again, she was naturally overjoyed.

"Since my sister-in-law agrees, you think it's appropriate to send a few people over." Eleven Niang also breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it, "Let Mother Tao take it over early tomorrow morning." As for the salary, I pay for it on my side. ”

"For the Luo family's business, how can I make you pay for it." Luo Da * Grandma smiled, "I'll pay for it!" ”

Eleven Niang thought for a while: "It's okay!" Take people's money and people to eliminate disasters. The Luo family took it out, and it was more justified to evoke it. ”

But in his heart, he said that he didn't have some eyes to work and contribute, and who would want to go if he had something to do in the future. It's better to let them receive the love of the Luo family and know that they will not suffer a loss if they follow themselves.

The two discussed some details again, and Grandma Luo saw that it was not early, and got up to say goodbye.

Eleven Niang knew that she still had to worry about the affairs of the family, so she asked Amber to take a few pieces of material out: "These two big red horses are for the eldest sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law, and these three blue horses are for the third aunt, fifth aunt and sixth aunt." This apricot-yellow horse is used to make small clothes for the fifth aunt. ”

Luo Da * Grandma was not polite, and asked Mother Hang to take the things, go to say hello to Mrs. Tai, and be accompanied by Eleven Niang out of the hanging flower door.

Eleven Niang immediately called Tao's mother and asked her to arrange for six tall and rough mothers-in-law to go to Gongxian Hutong early tomorrow morning, and only said to the third lady that there was something in the Luo family and asked someone to help for a few days. When I met those mothers-in-law, the first thing I did was to clarify the wages with them.

Everyone listened to the monthly photos of the Xu family, and the Luo family also paid another salary, all of them smiled, patted their chests and kept that they would take care of Shi Niang, and would never let the people of the Wang family bully her.

Monday. One more.

Hee-hee......
