"That's good." Eleven Niang smiled, "It's almost the New Year, and my aunt should get better sooner." At that time, Hou Ye was also happy to look at it. ”

Qiao Lianfang smiled slightly, her face was like a peach blossom in March.

The two walked all the way forward, and Eleven Niang smiled: "Do you want to change to a doctor?" ”

Change to a doctor and take some decoction, and take the opportunity to get better.

Qiao Lianfang shook her head and smiled: "No." This chapter is very good. ”

Eleven Niang sighed in her heart.

The opportunity has been given to ......

She smiled faintly, "Mrs. Qiao hasn't come to see you for a long time, has she?" It's better to send someone to ask Mrs. Joe to come and see you. With her by your side, you can feel better. Maybe you'll get sick! ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Aunt Qiao's eyes, but Eleven Niang's words were just saying that she missed her mother day and night, and she smiled and thanked Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang instructed Amber beside her: "Go and arrange it, and pick up Mrs. Qiao tomorrow to talk about it." ”

Amber hurriedly said yes.

The group returned to the courtyard.

As soon as Eleven Niang returned to the upper room where she lived, Aunt Wen came to ask to see her.

She thought about it for a while and asked the little maid to bring Aunt Wen in.

Aunt Wen's face was full of smiles, and when she entered the door, she praised Eleven Niang diligently, what kind of Hou Ye went out and let the aunts send each other together, she was generous, she had never seen anything like that in her life.

Eleven Niang thought that when she first started looking for customers, she also accompanied her smiling face everywhere, and simply said bluntly: "Auntie, it's inconvenient for me to see Grandma Wensan." ”

Aunt Wen's smile was fixed on her face: "It's good to see you in my face." ”

Eleven Niang asked people to take a small pestle and put it on the side of the kang, and said, "Auntie, I am the daughter-in-law of the Xu family and the daughter of the Luo family." I don't know where you're going. I'm stupid, stupid, stupid. I feel that being a daughter-in-law is the same as being a courtier. The temple is like the in-law's family, and the clan is like the mother's family. Only by wholeheartedly being loyal to the court and contributing to the society can there be high-ranking officials who enjoy great fortune, be admired by all generations, glorify the lintel, and seal their wives and sons. In the same way, being a daughter-in-law who wholeheartedly maintains her in-laws, knows how to respect her in-laws, treats her brothers and concubines well, and raises her children, in order to gain the respect of her in-laws. The mother-in-law's family didn't dare to snub the daughter-in-law, so naturally they didn't dare to snub the daughter-in-law's mother's family. Auntie, think about it, what I said is reasonable? ”

Aunt Wen was stunned when she listened. said: "But I'm not anyone's daughter-in-law......"

"Then you should be more strict with yourself and follow the rules!" Eleven Niang smiled, "The same rice raises all kinds of people." is also a maid, and it is also divided into three, six, nine and so on; is also a daughter-in-law, and her mother-in-law treats each other closely. This did not fall from the sky, it was all up to personal creation! ”

Aunt Wen lowered her eyelids and didn't speak for a long time.

You can't be a fat person by eating in one go.

When Eleven Niang saw Nanyong's daughter-in-law come in, she knew that she was already Maozheng, and she would go to Mrs. Tai to greet her later, and sent her: "Auntie go back and think about my words." ”

Aunt Wen got up to say goodbye, her eyes a little dim.

Back in the house, Qiu Hong whispered, "Madam, what do you mean by this?" She doesn't knock and knock Aunt Qiao, how can she talk about us? ”

Eleven Niang's words made Aunt Wen feel a lot. She wasn't interested in Qiao Lianfang at all. Could it be that she fell out of favor and could replace herself? Anyway, I pressed down a Qiao Lianfang, and I don't know how many Qiao Lianfang were waiting in front. Moreover, the more high-profile Qiao Lianfang is, the more beneficial it is for her - Eleven Niang will definitely win over these aunts who have given birth to children, and their lives will only be better.

Aunt Wen told Qiuhong all the words of Eleven Niang: "...... She is a wife, and she doesn't have backache when she stands and talks. If I sit in her place, I can think as clearly as she does—this home is mine anyway, and it's like doing business between gains and losses. If you lose it today, you will earn it back tomorrow. When calculating the account, it is always more when you make more money, and when you lose less, it becomes it. I think at the beginning, without Luo Yuanniang, would we be able to do those businesses? What if Master Hou knows? It's not that he is defending Luo Yuanniang, treating me as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh. I think I'm causing the family to be restless. I don't want to think about it, I'm the one who made the ** soup, and I also want her Luo Yuanniang to drink it willingly to make it happen. Something happened, and it's not that I'm carrying this black cauldron. In the final analysis, it's just because Luo Yuanniang is a wife and I am a concubine. I am dedicated to the Xu family, but I am afraid that I will drink the northwest wind a long time ago! ”

Qiu Hong hesitated when she heard this: "Then, what should we do?" used to be supported by Luo Yuanniang, but now Luo Yuanniang is gone...... Hou Yeke spoke, the Xu family has no relatives to do business, if someone says that it is the relatives of the Xu family who find the Internal Affairs Office, they are all pretending to be official dependents, and they will be imprisoned directly, and there is no need to say anything to him. With such a heavy snow this year, doing a cotton business must be a huge profit. At least 17 or 80,000 taels of silver. The third lady is a small-eyed person, with a thief's heart but not a thief's guts. The fifth lady's nails were too deep, and she didn't invest a penny, so she asked for four or six accounts...... Without Luo Yuanniang's relationship, we can only watch the cooked duck fly like this! ”

"Who says it isn't!" Aunt Wen looked at the snowflakes that were spreading, "I saw that it was not snow, it was all silver. But we don't have the ability to get this money into our own hands. You don't know, when I think about it, my heart aches and I can't sleep. ”

While speaking, Qiu Hong had already served hot tea to Aunt Wen: "According to your tone, our new fourth lady wants to be that virtuous and virtuous person?" ”

"I don't care if she's a good person or not." Aunt Wen frowned, "If the third grandmother can't see her when she enters Beijing this time, I'm afraid that the 200,000 taels of silver that the Wen family gives us every year won't be so smooth when the time comes." That's the big problem. ”

"No, it won't!" Qiu Hong hesitated, "Speaking of which, you have done a lot for the Wen family. If it weren't for you, how could the Wen family's rice be replaced with salt so smoothly? And it is also a one-to-one exchange, and the Manda Zhou Wen family is the first one. How much money you've made for them! ”

"That's why I was given a dividend of 200,000 taels of silver every year!" Aunt Wen sighed helplessly, "Do you think there is really a pie in the world?" As she spoke, she stroked her forehead, "What a headache." ”

"It's a big deal, don't want these 200,000 taels of silver." Qiu Hong said, "I don't believe it, they won't be able to use us!" ”

"You know what." Aunt Wen smiled bitterly, "We didn't do what we were asked to do, what does this mean?" This shows that I don't have the right to speak in the Xu family as much as before. A person who has no right to speak is equivalent to an abandoned son to the Wen family. Your father was my brother, and you grew up in front of me, and I never looked at you and didn't hide anything from you. I'll tell you the truth. Grandma Wen San picked two or three of the girls in the family a few years ago to raise by her side, so that on this day, I was sent in when I was old and decrepit and had no dignity in front of the Hou Ye. Do you still think that the Wen family must be me? This is also the reason why I must find a way to let Grandma Wen San meet Eleven Niang. I was afraid that she would be too careful, thinking that I was blocking her from letting her go inside. When the time comes, if there is something really going on in the Wen family, I will be the sinner of the ages. I can't afford this reputation! ”

Qiu Hong was dumbfounded.

Aunt Wen looked at her and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Other families know that the Wen family in Yangzhou sent their concubine to the Yongping Marquis Mansion as a concubine, I don't know how many people envy it behind their backs, and I don't know how many people also want to take this road." It's just that Hou Ye, who doesn't know each other, doesn't move around, and doesn't go out of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, and there is no young and beautiful concubine at home, so everyone can't figure out his temper; Luo Yuanniang was worried about the matter of the heir, afraid that the people outside would not be able to support the family, and giving birth to a son would ruin her affairs, so she only found a room for Hou Ye in the personal maid, and pretended not to understand this kind of thing. That's why no one is unscrupulous in pulling relationships. Otherwise, where would the Wen family be willing to share 200,000 taels of my sons every year!

Speaking of which, I admire my grandfather the most. If it weren't for his old man, how could the Wen family be where it is today!

At that time, the Xu family was just a prince's foreign family, and now the emperor is not to mention the throne, but it is thousands of miles away from the throne of the prince, and no one expected that the emperor would inherit the unification? Who would have thought that one day the aunt and grandmother of the Xu family would become the queen mother? also gave birth to the eldest prince, the third prince and the fifth prince. And if the Xu family hadn't died in the first month, and Luo Yuanniang had a miscarriage in the spring, the old lady would not have fallen ill in frustration. If it weren't for the fact that the old lady was terminally ill, the Xu family would not have been in a hurry to take a concubine for the Hou Ye and stop the medicine for Tongfang. If it weren't for the rush of time, the Wen family would have sent me here, and it is estimated that it would not be my turn to enter the door. Sometimes I think about it, it's all fate, and it's not up to anyone! There was a deep sense of amazement in his voice.

Qiu Hong grew up in the Xu Mansion, and she had faintly heard of these, and now Aunt Wen told her bluntly, but she didn't know what to say. After a while, he said, "Let's find another opportunity!" Maybe there will be a turnaround in a few days? ”

Aunt Wen pondered for a while after listening to this, and asked Qiuhong softly: "I remember that Eleven Niang has a sister named Wu Niang." It seems that he opened a dried fruit shop on West Street, and he rented Shunwang's shop, which opened on the same day, and Hou Ye went to drink a cup of tea...... You have to figure out how to get into a relationship with her. I don't believe that she Luo Shiniang is a little concubine, and when she has the opportunity to show off in front of her mother's family, she can really see through this fame, fortune and wealth? ”

Qiu Hong's eyes flashed when she listened: "Auntie is a good plan." I heard that the fifth mother married a poor man and lived on her dowry. Otherwise, how could she be a young lady from an official family, how could she be in a hurry to open a shop and do business? This year's winter is long, and her dried fruit shop business will definitely not be good......"

Yongnan's daughter-in-law carefully put on the hairpin of Chijin Chang'e running to the moon to Eleven Niang, and then collected the comb.

Eleven Niang looked at herself in the mirror.

The moon-white silk jacket, the rose purple makeup gown, the corners and cuffs of the clothes are embroidered with large pink peony flowers, the dark green skirt, inlaid with rose purple hems, and the jewelry on the head is bright, although it looks dignified and gorgeous, it is three or four years older than the actual age.

But that's exactly what she wanted.

After all, she appeared as a mother, and those delicate things should be left to Sister Zhen'er!

Eleven Niang took the green cloud and the red embroidery to Mrs. Tai.

Sister Zhen was wearing a white silk jacket, an apricot-yellow plain gown, and a narrow moire pattern was embroidered with gold thread at the corner. She wore a white silk skirt, her jet-black hair was curled, and she wore two beaded flowers. On his wrist, he also wore a pearl bracelet given by Eleven Niang.

Mrs. Tai was pulling her up and down, and when she saw Eleven Niang coming in, she hurriedly beckoned to her: "What do you think?" ”
