"No!" Holly smiled, "Compared to before, I now eat and sleep every day, sleep and eat, and when I am idle, I do needlework to pass the time, and live the life of a big lady." How can you be bored! Then he smiled and took out a bag from the kang cabinet, "I made two heavy skirts as a lady, do you like it or not!" As he spoke, he opened the bag, revealing the rose red and red brocade inside.

"Make me something again." Eleven Niang smiled and shook off her skirt.

Rose red embroidered stone blue spotted bamboo, bright red embroidered green plum blossom.

"It's all beautiful." She laughed, "I prefer the rosy ones." ”

Holly smiled and accepted: "Mrs. Tai is old and likes bright colors, so you sometimes have to adapt to the situation." "It's like a big sister's tone.

Eleven Niang smiled happily, remembering that she had often told herself like this before, glanced at Green Cloud, motioned for them all to step back, and talked to Holly.

"Count the days, your youngest sister should also be married, right?"

Last time the eldest lord returned to Yuhang, Mother Jiang beside the eldest lady accompanied her, Amber and Holly asked Mother Jiang to bring the letter back, and when the eldest lord came back, Mother Jiang also brought the soybean paste made by Holly Niang, and at that time, Eleven Niang ate two big bowls of rice, and Xu Lingyi also said that it was delicious. It's just that this sauce has to be brewed before the winter solstice, and if the day is missed, it is difficult for the holly woman to cook without rice. Eleven Niang had no choice but to keep all the sauce that was originally going to be given away.

Holly nodded: "Married to a good family." When Jiang's mother came back, she told the situation of each family, "My brother-in-law is an only son, and his family has more than 50 acres of fertile land and runs an oil mill. As she spoke, she laughed, "Speaking of which, it is still stained with the light of the lady...... The family originally thought that our family background was a little thin, but later they knew that I was on an errand in front of my wife, so they agreed to this family business. ”

Eleven Niang smiled and nodded.

As long as she doesn't do evil, she doesn't mind letting her name be used by others.

"Time flies. In the blink of an eye, you will be twenty-one years old in the New Year. ”

Holly's face turned red when she heard this, and she lowered her head slightly, rubbing the copper thimble in her hand.

"I've always had your business on my mind." Shi Niang lowered her voice when she looked at it, "Look, how is Wan Daxian?" ”

Holly raised her head sharply when she heard this, her face was a little panicked: "What did Madam say...... I don't understand! He bowed his head again.

Eleven Niang felt that her expression was a little strange. It's not like she's shyness when you hear someone mention your marriage, but it's surprised with a hint of fear.

She remembered that she had specially arranged for Holly to go to Goldfish Alley before, just to let her see Wan Daxian with her own eyes. Could it be that I have looked away, what is wrong with this Wan Da Xian?

"I see that he is not bad-looking, and you are the same age." Eleven Niang said while looking at her expression carefully, "It's just that I don't have any family background." However, good men don't eat their father's and mother's meals, and good women don't wear wedding clothes. I deliberately put him in the tent, and with his character, he can stand alone in three or five years. I don't know who has the blessing to marry him......"

Holly's face was blue and white for a while, a little unpredictable......

Eleven Niang was already very sure - she was not very happy with this matter.

She sighed slightly and changed the subject: "When I was sick, I was all thanks to you and Binju for taking care of me. We're not in a good place. If you have anything, just tell me. Either way, I'm always on your side......"

There was a hint of shyness in Holly's expression.

Or, is there someone who has a fancy for it......

Eleven Niang's heart moved slightly, and she continued to say softly: "If you are embarrassed to tell me, it is the same with Amber and Binju." ”

Holly didn't make a sound, her face turned slightly, and her cheeks were even more red.

Eleven Niang is just a pity.

She saw Wan Daxian as a pretty good young man.

After a few more words, he got up and went back to the house, and called Amber: "Go and find out Holly's tone to see what she has in mind." ”

Amber smiled and poured her tea: "Let's go around in this palm-sized place, how can it be compared to Madame's vision." Nature listens to you. ”

"You can't say that." Eleven Niang smiled, "If everything is conditional, there won't be so many crazy men and women in this world." I always hope that all of you will be able to do your best and that you will all be well. "I said that Amber blushed.

"I'll go to find out Sister Holly's voice in the evening. She couldn't afford to be old anymore. Otherwise, there would be more gossip in the house. ”

"Gossip?" Eleven Niang was stunned.

Amber said, "It's nothing! That is to say, Sister Holly and Sister Binju are both old, why haven't they been matched yet. All I say is that there is no suitable one. ”

"Someone asked you?"

Amber nodded: "Mother Shi beside the fifth lady." ”

"There's really no one for you." Eleven Niang sighed, "I always feel that no one is worthy of you." ”

"What is worthy of what is not worthy?" Without warning, Xu Lingyi's voice sounded in the room.

Amber hurriedly helped Eleven Niang to get off the kang, but Xu Lingyi looked at the newly hung ginger fine arrowroot cloth tent: "It's cleaned up so quickly." ”

Eleven Mother and Amber saluted him. While letting him sit on the kang, he smiled and said: "Master Hou has spoken, which of us dares to slack off." Then he took the tea on the little maid and served it with his own hands.

Xu Lingyi continued what he just said: "What are you talking about? ”

Amber listened and retreated with a shy face.

Xu Lingyi looked strange.

Eleven Niang smiled: "I'm talking about Holly and Binju - both of them are not young, and they want to match someone, but there is no suitable one." ”

Xu Lingyi nodded and said disapprerovingly: "Just say no to Manager Bai." There should be someone in the family who is the same age as them and has good conduct. ”

If only marriage were such a simple thing!

Eleven Niang was really afraid that he would be interested in interfering, so she married the two casually, and diverted the topic with a smile: "It's rare that Master Hou came over early today, so it's better to call Brother Yu and Sister Zhen and go to my mother earlier." ”

Xu Lingyi thought for a while: "It's okay, go over early, and just tell my mother about Sister Zhen'er going to Xishan." ”

Eleven Niang asked the little maid to pass the word, and sat down with Xu Lingyi to chat about some family things, and when Xu Siyu and Sister Zhen came over, they went to Mrs. Tai together.

Mrs. Tai was glad to see that they had come early. After Brother Zhen saluted Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang, he pulled them to speak: "...... Xiao Wu came back with a few firecrackers of this size," he said, comparing them with his hands, "I will put ...... in front of the ancestral hall when I am ready to Chinese New Year's Eve to worship my ancestors."

Eleven Niang thought that Xu Lingyi would talk to Mrs. Zhen about Sister Zhen'er later, she was here, it would definitely be inconvenient for the mother and son to talk, while making a look at Xu Siyu and Sister Zhen, she looked for an opportunity to take Brother Zhen's hand: "Mother, I will take Brother Zhen to the hall to kick the shuttlecock." ”

Mrs. Tai smiled and nodded: "Go ahead!" Go ahead! Look at her eyes kindly with a bit of doting.

Of course, Xu Siyu and Sister Zhen also said that they were going, and Eleven Niang led the three children out of the door.

"After all, it's blood." Mrs. Tai looked at the shaking curtain and smiled, "Brother Zhen recognized life like that, it's only been three or four months, and I've been talking and laughing with Eleven Niang." ”

Xu Lingyi was stunned when he listened.

I don't seem to be the kind of person who is easy to get close to, but after three or four months, I seem to be very accustomed to Eleven Niang's side...... And he was happy to tease her......

Thinking of this, he responded a little unnaturally "yes".

Mrs. Tai looked at him with a somewhat absent-minded look, and then looked at the curtain that had been standing quietly, and smiled.

Eleven Niang led the three children to the hall and watched Brother Zhen kick the shuttlecock.

Brother Zhen was very happy and performed in a different way.

Could it be that calling yourself out is just to watch Brother Zhen kick the shuttlecock?

Xu Siyu was very confused.

Sister Zhen was a little worried.

I don't know what my father will tell my grandmother? Grandmother knows that it is the stepmother who helps her to say the item, I wonder if she will blame the stepmother? At that time, I saw that the family was lively, and I only worried about the second aunt, but I didn't take into account the position of my stepmother...... The smile became a little reluctant.

Feeling the strangeness of his brother and sister, Brother Zhen couldn't help but stop, his eyes were full of confusion, and he tilted his little head and looked at them strangely: "What's wrong with you?" Am I not playing well? ”

Hearing Brother Zhen ask them, there was still a bit of confusion in the eyes of the two.

Eleven Niang hurriedly stepped forward and touched Brother Chen's head, and comforted him with a smile: "No, no." I was surprised to see you kicking the shuttlecock well. ”

"Really!" Brother Chen's smile immediately brightened.

"yes!" Eleven Niang smiled and took his hand, "When you kicked for so long, you weren't tired." Why don't we take a break in the east? I'll kick it again. ”

"I'm not tired." Brother Zhen smiled, "I still have to kick." "A look of eagerness.

Seeing that his little face was red and there was no sweat on his forehead, Shi Niang knew that he was really not tired, so she let go of her hand and stood aside with a smile.

Brother Zhen nodded again and again after hearing this, and kicked the shuttlecock even more vigorously.

Someone crackled and clapped their hands.

Everyone followed the prestige in surprise, and saw the fifth master Xu Lingwan standing at the door curtain with the third young master Xu Sijian clapping.

"Brother Zhen, I can't see it, you play the shuttlecock so well!" The fifth master's tone was sincere, and he knew it was from the heart as soon as he heard it.

Brother Zhen smiled and ran towards the fifth master: "Fifth uncle, fifth uncle, have the big firecrackers been placed?" ”

The fifth master picked up Brother Zhen and twisted his little nose. Then put him down and greet Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang returned the salute and greeted him with a smile: "The fifth master went to buy firecrackers today." ”

The fifth master said politely: "Yes." I just went with Brother Jian to put all the firecrackers in the library - lest those little guys accidentally light them and cause trouble. ”

Eleven Niang nodded with a smile and explained her whereabouts to him: "Hou Ye is talking to his mother in the inner room. ”

In this way, it is not easy for the fifth master to go in, and he stood east and west with Eleven Niang, Xu Siyu and Sister Zhen stepped forward to salute him, Xu Sijian also stepped forward to salute Eleven Niang, and then pulled Xu Siyu and asked, "Did the second brother see my eldest brother?" I went to buy firecrackers with my fifth uncle early this morning, and I didn't see him when I came back, the two little guys that my eldest brother was close to were gone, and my mother and Qiu Aya were not in the house. I asked everyone else and they all said they didn't know......"

Xu Siyu smiled a little banter: "Oh, in the afternoon, the Zhongqin Bofu came to send the New Year's gift, and the mothers came in to greet the grandmother, and said that the eldest lady of their family had been offering the pox god Niangniang these days, and the third aunt was very worried and took the eldest brother back to her parents' house." I don't know if I will stay at Zhongqinbo's Mansion for dinner! ”
