Chapter 35: Means (II)

The only son of Mao Guogong and the upright wife......

Eleven Niang never believed that pies would fall from the sky!

She looked at the sixth aunt, and her expression became a little solemn.

finally moved the person in front of her, and a hint of relief flashed in the eyes of the sixth aunt.

As soon as the eldest lady said to the eldest master, the eldest lord shook his head. said, although Mao Guogong has been in the middle of the family in recent years, after all, he is the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there are three catties of nails in the rotten ship, how could he agree to marry a concubine as his wife. There must be something unknown about this. Don't make promises lightly. ”

Eleven Niang was surprised.

For a long time, the eldest master has been just a name and a title for Eleven Niang. He can't help when he's in trouble, he can't rely on when he's helpless, he can't support himself when he's struggling...... I was under the impression that he was just the one who gently asked her if she had eaten...... I didn't expect that one day he would say such a thing!

When the eldest lady heard the eldest master say this, she sneered. said, of course, because Wang Lang has a problem, so Mao Guogong will retreat to the second, not to seek to be from a family, but to ask for the woman's family background to be innocent and gentle. But even so, there are three or six or nine 'faults'. The ugly one is first-class, the Adou who can't support the wall is first-class, and the sick one who can't live long is first-class. Do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't ask questions, and as soon as I hear what kind of country the grandfather is, I will go up and have to marry my daughter...... When the old man heard this, he was a little annoyed. said, in that case, tell me, what is the first-class problem of the prince of Maoguo? ”

Eleven Niang's thumb rubbed the bright red plum blossoms on the tea cup.

The eldest lady covered her sleeves and began to weep. said, this is a good heart of the eldest aunt and grandmother. Thinking that there are many sisters in the family, you have to find a decent face! can't either marry a concubine, or make a continuation for someone, or be a broken household...... When the eldest master heard this, his momentum was shortened by three points. Muttered, then you have to ask, right? The eldest lady glared. said, the Xu family and the Wang family live together in Yanjing, and I don't know what is going on. If you don't want to be Zhang and Qiao here, people may not look down on it! This is just the aunt's own meaning, as for what it is, I have to invite Baoshan to explore the wind to know! ”

"And then my father agreed?" Eleven Niang put down the teacup in her hand with a calm expression.

Her attitude made the sixth aunt slightly stunned, and she said after a while: "Yes." So the eldest lord agreed. Said to the eldest lady, this is your woman's business, you just think it's good! ”

Eleven Niang nodded slightly, looking thoughtful.

There is no worry, fear or anger as the sixth aunt imagined...... She wasn't sure what to eat.

Gritting her teeth, the sixth aunt grabbed Eleventh Niang's hand: "Silly child, can't you see the danger in this?" Emaciated camels are bigger than horses. No matter how downtrodden the Mansion of the Mao Kingdom is, it is also the home of the hairpins who eat the imperial grain with iron rolls. Could it be that the entire Yanjing can't find a woman with an 'innocent family background, gentle and kind' to match the son of their house? Although our Luo family is prominent, it is on the boundary of one acre and three points of land in Yuhang. When he arrived in Yanjing, in the eyes of those wealthy families, he was just a rural bun. If the prince's problem is not serious, how can he go to the near and far to find a country daughter-in-law? ”

Different life experiences and different perspectives lead to different choices......

All she wanted was a place of shelter where she could breathe naturally!

Compared with the complexity of the Xu family, even if the son of the Wang family wants to find a woman who doesn't know the root because he is sick...... Weighing the two, she felt that she could accept it. When the time comes, she will be a widowed daughter-in-law who is chaste, as long as she follows the rules, the Wang family will not respect her, and she will not be embarrassed if she wants to come!

Eleven Niang listened absentmindedly to the nagging of the sixth aunt while thinking about her own thoughts.

"You and Wu Niang, choose one of the two. Either marry into the Wang family or marry into the Xu family. Now the Luo family is not as good as before, and only the Xu family can rely on the careers of several masters. If you can marry into the Xu family, think about it, when the time comes, the Luo family will go up to the eldest lord and eldest wife, down to Mother Xu and Mother Yao, not to mention showing your face, it will be too late to stammer. The fifth aunt has suffered all her life, and she can raise her eyebrows. If you marry the Wang family, first, you don't know the roots, who knows whether you are stupid or stupid, and your life will be ruined; The second is that the Wang family is inferior to the Xu family everywhere. If there is anything going on with the Luo family in the future, if the Wang family can't do it, the Luo family won't take your daughter to heart. If you don't have your mother's family to rely on, your mother-in-law's family will definitely look down on you. When the time comes, you can call the days are not spiritual, and the earth should not be, and don't think about a comfortable life one day. Think again. In case she marries Wu Niang, these honors are given to her, not to mention, with her high and low heart, seeing that your mother and mother-in-law are unhappy, and everything is smaller than yours, I am afraid that she will fall into the well...... If you have a hard time, the fifth aunt still doesn't know how sad she is in her eyes? Miss Eleven, I treat you the same as our family's Twelfth Mother, so I am not afraid of offending you by saying these words. You'll have to think more about what I'm saying. It's not in vain that I've been a villain. ”

It means that unless she marries into the Xu family, otherwise, she will be a dead end.

Eleven Niang has her own opinions, and she doesn't say much to her. smiled: "I know my aunt's kindness." It's just that I'm in a mess right now, and I can't come up with an idea for a while. Let me think about it! ”

After all, it's just a thirteen-year-old girl......

The sixth aunt was relieved.

She squeezed Shi Niang's soft hand and said in a low voice, "You have to hurry." I don't know how long I can hide this matter! Whoever has the upper hand will be one step ahead. can't live up to my aunt's heart. ”

Eleven Niang nodded solemnly and sent the sixth aunt out.

As a result, I met Xu's mother at the door.

"Auntie is here?" Mother Xu's eyes flashed, "The eldest lady is asking you!" ”

The sixth aunt nodded a little panickedly, said hello to the eleventh lady and hurried away.

Mother Xu asked Shi Niang: "What did my aunt come to you for?" ”

Eleven Niang smiled: "Ask me about my twelfth sister!" ”

Mother Xu nodded, and the vigilance in her eyes disappeared suddenly.

Perhaps influenced by Aunt Liu's words, Mother Xu's eyes made Eleven Niang, who had always understood her situation very well, feel cold for the first time.

"Sit in Mommy's house!" She greeted Mother Xu with a smile.

Xu's mother said, "No." Hou Ye is here, the eldest lady asked you and Wu Niang to freshen up, go and say hello to Hou Ye. ”

Eleven Niang was slightly stunned, and Mother Xu had turned around and gone to Wu Niang.

Holly hurriedly pulled Eleven Niang back to the house, called Binju to fetch water to wash her face, and rummaged through the cabinets there: "Miss, what should I wear?" Otherwise, I'll wear the drunken fairy gown that the eldest lady asked someone to make......"

"Would you like to calm down?" Eleven Niang smiled, "That's a spring dress, do you want to freeze me?" ”

"Or wear that peach-colored carved silk jacket, with a picture of a hundred children playing with babies, and it is rewarded by the eldest wife, and it is decent to wear out."

"I don't miss that silk on weekdays." Eleven Niang teased her, "If you let Mother Xu know what you said, I will call you for questioning." Where have you gotten my clothes? ”

She was in a good mood and laughed with Holly, and told Holly to take out her embroidery set: "Take advantage of the two days to make a spring dress for Brother Chen." ”

Holly was overjoyed when she heard this, and went to bring out the rattan flutes filled with embroidery needles, large and small bandages, etc. Eleven Niang combed herself by Binju, changed into an apricot yellow plain makeup gown, and wore a pair of pearl earrings, and went to the east wing to invite Wu Niang: "...... Let's go together. ”

Wu Niang combed her high bun, wore a red gold step, inserted a large pearl and emerald flower, wore a rose and purple wishful makeup gown, lightly applied powder to her face, swept rouge, and looked bright.

Seeing that Eleven Niang came to invite her, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and an extremely sparkling smile bloomed: "I'll be fine right away." Then he instructed Ziwei: "Take out some of the honey-stained plums." ”

Zhuo Tao and Sui'er were squatting there dyeing Wu Niang's nails.

Eleven Niang ate honey-stained plums and waited for Wu Niang to clean up.

"Time is too short, so we can only settle first." Sui'er explained with a smile, "I was originally prepared for tonight. ”

Wu Niang looked at the nails on her fingertips that bloomed like peach blossoms, and said with a smile: "The color is a little light...... Carefully add the colors at night! ”

Sui'er responded with a smile "yes", and sent Wu Niang and Eleven Niang to the door with Ziwei.

Zhuo Tao lowered her head and drooped her eyelids, and kept silently following behind a few maids.

The sisters went to the main house of the eldest lady.

The room was quiet, and everyone in the service was silent, and Du Wei winked at them expressionlessly.

"Why did you come at this time?" The eldest lady's voice sounded calm, but it was like the sky in front of *, which made people feel the kind of forbearance and irritability.

Wu Niang smiled: "I came with my sister." ”

Let the obedient people think that she is too late because of Eleven Niang.

Usually she didn't care too much about these words, but today, she felt very harsh.

This girl does not forget to put the blame on others at any time.

But she remained as before, uneasy and silent.

The eldest lady's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and she shouted in a low voice, "Get out of here." ”

All the people in the room suddenly changed color, and immediately lowered their heads, pretending not to hear or see.

Wu Niang's face turned pale, and she and Eleven Niang retreated. After going out, she still didn't give up and grabbed Du Wei on the side: "Big lady......"

Du Wei looked left and right, and saw that the maids standing under the eaves were standing there solemnly and solemnly, and she said in a low voice: "Hou Ye said to come to see the eldest wife, but as soon as the eldest lady showed her face, Hou Ye said that she had something to leave...... It took less than a cup of tea to sit down......"

So you're not happy?

Eleven Niang listened and her heart moved.

The news from Amber said that Hou Ye had talked to his uncle for an afternoon in the second year of junior high school.

After Wu Niang's slight startle, annoyance flashed in her eyes, and she looked at her pink nails and said, "It's so bad that my nails aren't dyed well!" ”
