Eleven Niang was talking to Amber, and a little maid said, "Fourth lady, Mother Tao is here." ”

At this time, what is she doing here?

Eleven Niang was stunned and hurriedly said, "Please come in." ”

Mother Tao came in response and saw that Eleven Niang was scattering her hair, and hurriedly said, "Oh, my madam, why did you scatter your hair at this time." How many aunts are still waiting to kowtow to you for tea? Then he commanded Amber, "Help Madame tie her hair!" ”

Eleven Niang and Amber were surprised.

"I haven't eaten yet, I'm waiting to see you!" Mother Tao said proudly.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but look out the window, but Amber let out a nervous "um", and hurriedly re-curled her loose hair into a high bun.

"It's just a few aunts." Tao's mother smiled, "It's not like seeing any distinguished guests, just roll it up!" Saying that, she took Amber's hand, helped Eleven Niang make a very beautiful and neat Su'er three times and two times, and found a pair of pearl earrings from the makeup box for Eleven Niang to put on, and said in a low voice: "Aunt Wen's eyes are pointy, like this lotus seed rice size Nanzhu, the same pair is very rare." Then he picked out a big red moire gown from Shi Niang's wardrobe, "In this house, only you can wear red." ”

It's called understated gorgeousness!

Eleven Niang was an eye-opener.

This Tao mother is really a good hand.

However, I'm afraid this is also learned by Yuan Niang's side!

She had mixed feelings. Let Amber bring the meeting gifts that had been prepared for several aunts, and go to the hall with Tao's mother.

Tao's mother told her softly: "You don't have to pay attention to them, they make you comfortable, you just give a smile, if you are uncomfortable, just leave." ”

Is this to keep her moody in front of several aunts, so as to achieve the effect of deterring subordination? Or do you think she's young and ignorant?

Eleven Niang smiled and didn't make a sound.

Mother Tao had already smiled and went to lift the curtain herself: "A few aunts and grandmothers, please come in, if it's too late, Mrs. will rest!" ”

Three women walked in.

At the front is Aunt Wen.

She still combed her fallen bun and looked charming, but the pendant on her ears was replaced by an opal, and when she moved slightly, it flashed with unpredictable light.

Following her was Qiao Lianfang.

She wore a bean-green persimmon pattern Hangzhou silk gown, a peony bun, a precious headband the size of lotus seeds, and a coral tortoiseshell turquoise knot the size of a wine glass, and she was dressed very gorgeously.

The last woman to come in was a thirty-year-old woman.

She wore an emerald blue plain Hangzhou silk gown, her hair was regularly curled in a round bun, a red gold hairpin inlaid with beeswax stones was inserted, and a big red silk flower was worn.

This should be Aunt Qin......

Eleven Niang's eyes couldn't help but fall on her.

It seems that he should have served Xu Lingyi since he was a child.

She thought about it, Aunt Wen had already smiled and bent her knees and made a blessing gift: "Congratulations to my sister, congratulations to my sister, I have won the order of Mrs. Yipin." As she spoke, she raised her eyelids and glanced at Tao's mother.

It seems that he wants to provoke Tao's mother's injustice......

Eleven Niang thought about it, but saw Mother Tao smile coldly, looking at Aunt Wen's face with a little disdain. Then he pointed to Aunt Qin and said, "This is Aunt Qin, and her name is Pomegranate." ”

Aunt Wen entered the door directly, but Aunt Qin gave birth to a child before Aunt Wen. Yuan Niang has been holding on to this matter and has not given the two of them a clear ranking. So everyone can only call Aunt Wen and Aunt Qin. Mother Tao was the first to introduce Aunt Qin to herself, and she also took the opportunity to fight back against Aunt Wen's rudeness just now.

Eleven Niang smiled slightly, and saw Aunt Qin immediately step forward and kneel in front of her—if it weren't for Amber Eye's quick handover of a mat, she would have knelt on the bluestone floor tiles.

She respectfully kowtowed to Eleven Niang, then took the tea from the tea tray of the little maid on the side, and raised her hands above her head: "Madam, you drink tea." ”

Eleven Niang took the teacup with a smile and took a symbolic sip, and then gave her a pair of jade bracelets as a meeting gift.

Aunt Qin took the bracelet and stepped aside in silence.

Aunt Wen took a few steps forward, knelt on the mat with a smile, kowtowed to Eleven Niang, and called "sister" affectionately.

Aunt Qin is a maidservant girl, and she can't call her sister in the main room, and Aunt Wen's sister also has a bit of a counterattack to Tao Ma**.

Eleven Niang drank her tea and gave her a pair of red gold inlaid ruby pomegranate flower earrings as a meeting gift.

Qiao Lianfang knelt down with a faint expression to kowtow to Eleven Niang, offered tea, and called out softly "Sister".

Eleven Niang gave her a string of tourmaline stone Buddha bead bracelets.

Tao's mother smiled and said, "Okay, okay, it's not too early, Madame is going to rest." ”

Qiao Lianfang turned around and left.

Aunt Wen smiled and pulled Aunt Qin to salute Eleven Niang before turning to leave

Qiao Lianfang, there are still a few sincere ......

Eleven Niang smiled slightly.

"That's how it should be, ma'am." Mother Tao praised Eleven Niang, "Can't be far, can't be close......"

As she was talking, a little maid came to say that Xu Lingyi was back.

Came back so early!

Everyone was surprised.

Mother Tao was about to lift the curtain, and Xu Lingyi walked in.

Seeing Tao's mother, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Mother Tao smiled and said, "A few aunts are coming to see Madame, and I helped introduce them." ”

Xu Lingyi nodded and went to the clean room first.

Eleven Niang called Chun Late and Xia Yi to come in and serve Xu Lingyi in the bath.

Mother Tao whispered to Eleven Niang: "Late Spring and Xia Yi are the maidservants of Half Moon Pan, if you don't like it, send it back." ”

Since she brought her over to serve like this, maybe she was afraid that the people around her would not do well, or maybe Xu Lingyi was used to it. Before figuring out the situation, Eleven Niang didn't want to change the status quo.

She just nodded slightly towards Mother Tao: "I know!" ”

Tao's mother bowed and retreated.

Amber hurriedly whispered, "Miss, you can't send the late spring and Xia Yi back to Banyuepan." Since I brought it here, I must have served him very thoughtfully. You can't go back. ”

"I know!" Eleven Niang was very satisfied with Amber's quick response.

She arranged for the people on duty at night, and Xu Lingyi came out of the clean room after freshening up.

Amber hurriedly retreated with the others.

Xu Lingyi said suddenly: "Xiao Wu accompanied them to see the jugglers." I came back with my third brother first. ”

Is it explaining to him?

Either way, it's a good habit to encourage.

Eleven Niang smiled and said "um".

Xu Lingyi stood there in a trance for a moment.

It was like seeing her smile for the first time...... Very gentle...... It's not like yesterday, I have endured it all the time and haven't said a word...... Later, I didn't cry, I just asked him in a whisper...... He called the maid for her and said "thank you" to him...... Thank you......

A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

If she doesn't do that, I'm afraid she won't be able to move an inch in the house in the future!

Somehow, Yuan Niang's shadow suddenly appeared in Xu Lingyi's mind.

She was sure that she would not sit idly by - whether it was for the sake of her brother or for the sake of decency......

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little irritated in his heart, and looked up at Eleven Niang.

She was making the bed.

The movements are skilful and neat.

Xu Lingyi suddenly thought of the gentleness when she folded the quilt for herself.

She seems to be very good at doing these things to take care of others......

The thought flashed, and he frowned slightly.

Or is she so skilled or even good at doing these things that she does them a lot?

After thinking about it, Eleven Niang had turned to look at him with a smile: "Master Hou, are you going to sleep here?" Or will you sleep later? ”

Xu Lingyi found that her tone was neither fast nor slow, her voice was soft and clear, giving people a calm and calm feeling, and she was very comfortable to listen to.

He thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to bed early." Tomorrow I have to get up early, go to the ancestral hall to salute, and then go to the bowstring alley. ”

Eleven Niang said "um", served him to bed, and then went to blow out the lamp, and lay down beside him.

She slept beside herself......

Xu Lingyi was weird in his heart.

As if nothing happened yesterday!

After a while, he rolled over and turned his back to her.

She didn't move.

After a while, he rolled over again and faced her.

She still didn't move.

In the haze, Xu Lingyi watched his wife lying on her side hunched, with one hand on the pillow and the other on the futon, with a quiet expression.

Asleep......

Xu Lingyi couldn't help but be stunned.

There is no worse experience than last night.

At worst......

What's more, life has to go on. She is not qualified to hurt the spring and the autumn!

Eleven Niang counted the sheep and fell asleep.

The next day, he was pushed to wake up.

"It's not too early!"

Eleven Niang was excited and sat up.

"What time is it?"

The person next to him opened his pocket watch with a "snap": "It's been two minutes since the beginning of Mao." ”

Eleven Niang breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay!" ”

The person next to him smiled: "What's okay?" ”

Shi Niang came to her senses completely, turned her head to Xu Lingyi and smiled: "Fortunately, the Hou Ye called me up!" ”

Xu Lingyi was stunned.

Eleven Niang got out of bed with her clothes on, and called the maid to fetch water to come in.

Xu Lingyi got up with him, freshened up with Eleven Niang, and went to Mrs. Tai.

The sky was not yet bright, and the lights were already bright.

Seeing Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang, Mrs. Tai, who had already cleaned up, darkened her eyes: "Let's go!" Something I'm ready for! ”

Xu Lingyi immediately stepped forward to help Mrs. Tai, and went out to take a car to the ancestral hall located in the easternmost part of Xu's mansion.

In addition to the tablets of the ancestors of the Xu family, there are also the tablets of Xu Lingyi's father and the second master Xu Ling'an and Yuan Niang, who died of illness.

Eleven Niang found that Xu Lingyi's gaze stayed on Yuan Niang's tablet for a long time. And Mrs. Tai held back her tears and watched them perform the temple ceremony, and when she walked out of the ancestral hall, she cried in a low voice.

"Mother, don't be sad!" Xu Lingyi hurriedly comforted her mother, "Aren't you all good?" ”

Mrs. Tai took Eleven Niang's hand: "I'm fine, I'm fine." I'm happy. ”

Seeing that Mrs. Tai was sad, the corners of her eyes couldn't help but be a little moist, and she hurriedly took out a handkerchief and gave it to Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and showed a smile: "Let's go back quickly!" lest my uncle come to pick us up and find us. ”

Three days back, Luo Zhenxing should come to pick up Eleven Niang.

The group took the car back to Mrs. Tai's place, and as soon as they sat down, Yao Huang came in with a smile and said, "Uncle has come to pick up the fourth lady and return to the door." ”
