There is a three-foot square shrine on the front of the hall for the statue of Guanyin to sit down, like a small three-legged gold incense burner in front of it, offering three canaan incense.

In the curling cigarette smoke, Avalokiteshvara is looking at all living beings with a loving and compassionate expression.

Listening to the maid's confession, she said that Eleven Niang came to send her in person, and the two aunts came together.

The eldest aunt had a round smile and a gentle expression with intimacy, and commanded Caixia in a loud voice: "Quick, hurry up and serve tea to Miss Eleven!" ”

The second aunt's thin face also showed a few smiles, and she pointed to the Taishi chair on the side: "Sit down and talk!" ”

Eleven Niang smiled and saluted the two aunts, half sat on the Taishi chair, motioned Amber to hand over the box to the two aunts, and said modestly: "I don't know if it's agreeable?" ”

The eldest aunt took the box with her own hands, and said with a smile before she saw it: "Agreeable, agreeable, how can it not be agreeable!" ”

The maids served tea, and the eldest aunt said with a smile: "I went to Luyun Tower early this morning, and I heard that you were talking about it, so I didn't bother and went to Miss Ten." ”

Since I personally sent the rope, I want to take this opportunity to make some things clear. Since the other party is not shy about it at all, he also has the meaning of opening the window and saying bright words.

If you go around in circles again, it will look hypocritical.

Shi Niang smiled slightly: "I heard that you went to Shi Niang, I asked Holly to invite, who knew that you had already left." I thought that I would always send it over after the network was ready, so I didn't let her chase it. ”

The eldest aunt smiled kindly: "I went to the fifth lady's place." ”

Eleven Niang couldn't help the surprise in her heart, the corners of her mouth were slightly twitching, and she was thinking about what to say, but the eldest aunt sighed: "You are young, you don't know some things before."

Your eldest sister's in-laws are forever waiting for the Xu family, whose ancestors are from Hebei, because of their meritorious service from the dragon, they have won the hereditary title of replacement, and they have been rated as the ten founding generals and deserved to enjoy the Taimiao. During the Zheng'an period, the Xu family was involved in the 'Zheng An Wang Rebellion Case' and was robbed of the title. When the old lady was an official in Beijing, she became friendly with the old marquis of the Xu family, so she gave your eldest sister to the Xu family.

At that time, the eldest lady of the Xu family was just a powerless and powerless princess Jane, her aunt didn't read much, and she had an elder brother and a younger brother, and she was a seven-rank battalion guard in the Praetorian Guard, and the eldest lady was not very willing.

Who knows, the time will come and go.

First, my uncle's brother died of illness, my uncle got the title, and the eldest lady became Mrs. Yongping. Later, King Jian ascended the throne and became the emperor, and named the eldest lady of the Xu family as the queen. My uncle put down the Miao Si and the Northern Xinjiang Rebellion successively, made him a general, and became the governor of the three products. Such a splash of wealth is not available to everyone. ”

Having said this, there was a bit of coldness in the eyes of the eldest aunt.

"The eldest lady had a miscarriage for the first time, and the old lady of the Xu family was in charge, first stopping the medicine of the Qin family and the Tong family in the two rooms in the aunt's room before the eldest lady entered the door, and then accepted the eldest lady of the Yangzhou Wen family as a concubine for the uncle. In the second year, Qin gave birth to a son and carried an aunt; Although Aunt Wen did not have the blessing of the Qin family, she also gave birth to a daughter. As for the eldest lady of our family, there has been no movement for several years. took the personal maidservant Qiu Luo into the room. Finally, Qiu Luo was also pregnant, and gave birth to a son the next year, but the child died before term.

For this matter, our eldest wife doesn't know how many gods she has prayed to, how many Buddhas she has worshipped, and the eldest lady doesn't know how many secret recipes she has found, how many medicines she has taken, and finally she has good news in the eighth year of marriage. Who knows, the child was pregnant until the seventh month, was born prematurely, and gave birth to a weak son who didn't even have the strength to cry a few times, named Brother Zhen. ”

Eleven Niang couldn't help but let out a soft "ah".

In the eyes of the women and servants of the Luo family, among these sisters of the Luo family, Luo Yuanniang has always been a god-like distant existence.

Outstanding in appearance, talented, married to the powerful of the dynasty, and gave birth to a son-in-law...... All the happiness imaginable in the world can be found in her. I didn't expect it...... What she didn't expect was that the Wen family, known as one of the four giants in Jiangnan, agreed to let her daughter be a concubine for Yongping Hou.

She thought of the words of the second aunt that day, "Brother Zhen is the son-in-law, but not the son-in-law", could it be that this is the inside story?

Eleven Niang felt that her throat and eyes were dry, and she wanted to ask, but she didn't know how to speak.

"In the end, it is not full-term, it is the ginseng bird's nest feeding, in the end, it is not as smart as the son born by the Qin family, not to mention the lively and jumping. At the age of three, he can read and write, at the age of five, he can make a decision, and now he is just nine years old, and he is said to be going to take the test next year. Saying that, the eldest aunt glanced at Eleven Niang deeply, "So, our eldest lady has been having trouble sleeping in the past few years...... Naturally, the body will not be able to get better. ”

The Xu family is really complicated......

Eleven Niang smiled bitterly in her heart. Shen said: "The Wen family, how could they agree to give their daughter to others as concubines...... This is too humiliating, isn't it? ”

The second aunt, who had not made a sound, snorted coldly, and said sarcastically: "What is face? Can you eat or drink? With this relationship, the Wen family only won the porcelain business of the Ministry of Internal Affairs this year. Compared to the profit on porcelain, what is face? ”

Eleven Niang wanted to speak and stopped.

As the second aunt said, face can neither eat nor drink, but at a critical time, it can make people straighten their backs and overcome the dilemma of not eating or drinking.

But she didn't come to argue with the two aunts, and she didn't have the idea of changing other people's minds.

She smiled faintly and said, "In this way, Qiuluo in our house has the young lady of the Wen family as a companion, and he is not lonely!" ”

In fact, I asked my aunt euphemistically, what happened to Qiu Luo, who gave birth to a child for Yongping Hou?

The eldest aunt is also a smart person, and immediately smiled: "The Qin family was trained by the old lady of the Xu family since she was a child, and the Wen family is a concubine, although our Qiuluo is beautiful, but if this woman only relies on beauty, then how can there be a saying that 'the door is right'?" As he spoke, he covered his mouth and smiled, and there was a little charm in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

In other words, Qiu Luo didn't even get an aunt!

Eleven Niang's face changed slightly.

Although these two aunts have passed away and their faces are haggard, the unintentional charm in their gestures can also make her guess how beautiful they were back then. Isn't even the fate of them the best argument that "women can't just rely on beauty"?

She couldn't help but sigh softly.

"But our Luo family is the home of the eunuchs, generations of Wenxiang, the old lady is tired of officials to the cabinet scholars, not the Wen family's generations of businessmen can be compared." Shi Niang further confirmed, "Lighting the longevity lamp is not an ordinary Buddhist thing, right?" ”

"I didn't expect you to know about lighting the longevity lamp." The second aunt, who had always had a cold face, had a strong smile in her eyes, "When Ma Zifu, the former servant of the Ministry of Officials, was involved in politics in Shaanxi, there was a housewife who returned with her son, and the first emperor did not call him 'a very good official and excellent talent'. Besides, all three of you don't have a family tree! ”

At this moment, Eleven Niang could no longer hide the throbbing in her heart, and her face suddenly turned pale.

"Not on the family tree?"

She never knew she wasn't on the family tree.

The eldest aunt sighed, and looked at her with a little compassion: "When you just came back from Fujian, the second and third masters also came back from their posts with their families, and there were many things at home, and it happened that you fell again...... The big lady can forget it! ”

******

Eleven Niang returned to the Green Cloud Building with mixed feelings.

Shi Niang hasn't come back yet.

She asked Holly to inquire about the news, and Baizhi said that Shi Niang hadn't come back since she went out in the afternoon.

Eleven Niang listened and was silent for a long time, and asked Amber to unfold the words written by Wu Niang to Holly.

"When I give you a night, you draw one on clear paper."

Although she didn't know what Eleven Niang was going to do, Holly still responded respectfully as before.

Eleven Niang didn't say anything more, and Amber served and rested.

Early the next morning, Holly handed over her errand with a dark eye.

Eleven Niang took it over and looked at it carefully for a long time, then nodded and smiled: "Holly's painting skills are getting better and better." Yesterday was a hard day, go and rest! ”

Holly retreated, Eleven Niang wrote a letter, and then put the letter and the paper together in an envelope and handed it to Qiu Ju: "You send this to Master Jian of Hangzhou Mansion." Then Amber gave her five taels of silver, "Don't let anyone know." ”

In the winter month, Master Jian went back to Hangzhou for the New Year, and only returned to Luofu in March next year.

Qiu Ju took the letter and put it in her arms: "Miss asked Master Jian for advice on embroidering screens, right?" I'm not going to tell anyone. ”

She has an older brother who works as a servant in Ma Yuan, and has a very good relationship with the boatmen who deliver goods to the Luo family.

Eleven Niang didn't explain much, and went to the eldest lady with a smile.

"I had a good night's sleep last night, and I'm going to start embroidering the screen when I get back."

Try her best to come earlier today than yesterday, but she still saw Wu Niang.

The eldest lady immediately asked her to serve the sheep *** to her to drink, and let her embroider the screen with peace of mind, so that she didn't have to ask for peace at night, and emphasized: "Embroidering the screen on time is the real filial piety." ”

The eldest lady also said something like this last time, and it seems that the eldest lady is not a lie.

Eleven Niang thought about it, so she responded with a smile, chatted with the eldest lady for a few words, and then went back to Luyun Tower, and began to concentrate on embroidering the screen.

A few days later, the eldest lady sent someone to make spring clothes for Eleven Niang.

Holly was stunned.

To make spring clothes, there is customization, after the second day of February.

Now, isn't there the Chinese New Year yet?

Shi Niang knew about it, but she just looked up and asked, "Is it just for me?" Or does everyone have it? ”

The person who came to measure the clothes smiled: "Naturally, everyone has it." However, the eldest lady said that Miss Eleven has grown a lot this year, so let's make a few more sets. ”

When Shi Niang heard this, she nodded absentmindedly, and then lowered her head to continue embroidering the screen.

Amber was very uneasy when she heard this, and pulled Binju: "While Miss has Holly by her side, let's go to Miss Five—I used to be at the eldest lady's place, and I didn't get along much with Ziwei and Aster. I'm in Miss Eleven's house now, so it's better to get closer to a few people in Miss Lady's house. ”

Binju was still very supportive of her statement, and went to Wuniang with Amber.
