Chapter 9: Temptation

Eleven Niang changed her clothes and came out, and the coral from the eldest lady's side came. Amber was talking. Seeing Eleven Niang, Coral stepped forward and saluted, and said with a smile: "Miss Eleven, the slave has come to ask you for a favor." ”

After asking for someone, they all pondered it in their hearts, and they would only speak if they were four or five points sure.

Eleven Niang looked at her with a smile on her eyebrows, what she asked for must be easy, so she smiled and said, "Sister Sango, if you have anything to say, just say it!" ”

Coral glanced at Amber and said with a smile: "You also know that Amber used to be in charge of the clothes and jewelry in the big lady's house, but now that she is in your house, I will take over her original errands." As he spoke, his face showed a little color, "The big lady's box is shaken in a few steps, inlaid with gold velvet, and the little maids have taken it out and looked at it, and it can't be restored...... I want Amber to come over and have a look. ”

It's her own curiosity, so she can't restore it if she takes it out and sees it!

Eleven Niang smiled at the corner of her mouth: "You and Amber are sisters in the same house, and you are also good friends with Holly, if there is anything, just let them help, don't be so polite." ”

Coral was overjoyed when she heard this, happily saluted Eleven Niang, and went out with Amber.

Outside, the sky is clear and the clouds are clear, and the boxwood trees with the thickness of children's arms stand quietly.

Amber couldn't help but breathe.

"It's only been less than a day, and I've started to sigh!" Coral saw it and quipped, "What?" Want to go back to the big lady's house? ”

Amber smiled and didn't answer, but just affectionately grabbed Sango's arm: "Thank you sister for coming in time." Otherwise, I really don't know what to do? ”

"What's the problem?" Coral laughed, "You just wanted to find an excuse to avoid it, so that their master and servant could say a few words to themselves." Even if I don't come, it's the same if you find another excuse. What's so hard to do? It's not Baba who told me to call you out at this time! It's your kindness, so why not let them know! ”

Amber sighed softly, "I was inserted in the middle after all. is no better than Sister Holly and Sister Binju, who served with all her heart during Miss Eleven's illness. There are some things, it's good to pay more attention! ”

Coral disagreed, and smiled when he heard the "poof": "You, you are really loyal to the Lord." I really don't know what to say. You just let it get a while, you can make it a lifetime? My sister is a smart person. That Holly is six years older than Miss Eleven, but I'm afraid I can't wait for Miss to get married. Even if she can wait, Yao's mother has suffered a secret loss, and she will not give up if she doesn't get back this one. Now that the eldest lady has pulled you into Miss Eleven's house, on the surface, it is you who have suffered a loss, from the main house where everyone is red to Miss Shu's house. In fact, this is the grace of the Great Lady to you. As he spoke, he was stunned, "It's not like us, that's how it will be in the future." It's not for the uncle and the fourth master, or for a small guy. It's good to say with a small servant, if it is rewarded to the uncle and the fourth master, the grandmothers think that we have served the eldest wife, how can there be no pimple in our hearts. When grandma really takes charge of the house, we are already old, and we don't know where we will be thrown by our grandfathers...... It's still as good as you! is only three years older than Miss Eleven, and after that, with your appearance and talent, there will always be a few years of affection. If you have a man and a woman, you will have a ...... to rely on in your next life."

Amber didn't make a sound, but her gaze at the boxwood tree was a little glazed.

"Only my sister has a few words to me!" She shook Coral's hand, her fingertips as cold as frost, "As my sister said, when the time comes, I'm afraid I'll have to accompany Miss Eleven to my uncle's house." Although this is the kindness of the eldest lady, you can see the third lady born to the eldest aunt. I heard that with the past four, one died of illness, one rewarded his aunt for leading the horse, and the other two aunts got drunk and gave them away...... It's Miss Eleven, I'm afraid I don't know where I'm going to fall, let alone people like us! Sister, it's not easy to walk either way! ”

The corners of the coral's mouth are slightly twitched, and he wants to speak and stop.

Indeed, there is no easy way to go!

A trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't help but put her arm around Amber's shoulder to comfort her: "Good sister, the eldest lady chose you among so many of us, you are blessed!" ”

The tone was pale and weak.

******

Watching Amber and Coral come out of the Green Tower, Eleven Niang beckoned the people around her to speak.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Since the eldest lady pulled her into our house, she is the person in our house. When she first arrived, she couldn't help but be a little rusty. Everyone should treat each other like sisters. ”

Holly, Binju and Qiuju, Zhuxiang, Xin's mother, and Tang's mother all bowed their knees and respectfully responded "yes".

Eleven Niang smiled and served the tea: "Holly and Binju stay, I still have a few words to ask!" ”

Qiu Ju bowed a few knees and retreated.

Eleven Niang pointed to the little pestle beside her: "Sit down and talk!" ”

The two of them knew that Eleven Niang was not a person who paid attention to hypocrisy, so let you sit down, or let you sit sincerely. I don't want you to sit down, so I won't say something like that.

Holly and Binju sat on the small pestle one left and one right.

Eleven Niang pondered for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "You two are the backbone of my house, and while Amber is away, I have a few errands for you to do!" As he spoke, he paused again, "These few things, just know about the two of you for the time being!" ”

The implication is that they don't tell anyone else!

The two of them saw that Eleven Niang's eyebrows showed a little solemnity, and their expressions were correct, and they said in unison: "Miss Eleven, don't worry." We're not going to talk nonsense. ”

Eleven Niang nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Binju, you have a good relationship with the Ziyuan in the fifth lady's house. In the past few days, I have been walking around her house a lot. Look at what Miss Five has been doing all this time? Who visited her in her house? Where did she go and run the door? The more detailed, the better! ”

Hamaju nodded hurriedly and replied "yes".

"You ask Qiu Ju to help inquire about the eldest aunt and the second aunt back then...... She was born in a family, and there were always people around her who knew about these things. ”

Since she was asked to instruct her, even Qiu Ju had to hide it, so as not to let her know that it was Eleven Niang who wanted to inquire about the situation of the two aunts.

Hamaju immediately responded "yes".

Eleven Niang's eyes fell on Holly's body: "I'm going to hold a reception banquet for Amber." Mother Xu, Wu Xiao's family, Mother Yao, and the maids in the big lady's house, the maids in Luyunlou and the maids in Jiaoyuan were all brought over and lively. It's up to you to take care of this. ”

"How many mothers please?" Holly was stunned, "These are all powerful people around the eldest lady, but I'm afraid it's ......"

Meaning: I'm afraid that they won't have enough portions, please don't move!

"It's their business whether they come or not, it's our business whether you invite or not." Eleven Niang didn't care about her hesitation, "You just listen to my instructions and invite someone." ”

Also, it's rude to be uninvited...... Horizontal and vertical won't come, it's better to go through the motions.

Holly nodded.

Eleven Niang said again: "In the eldest lady's house, I'll invite it; Three mothers, you personally go and invite; As for Jiaoyuan and Luyunlou, just send a post! ”

Or the young lady is thoughtful. sent himself to go, even if a few mothers didn't come, it wouldn't hurt his face too much.

Holly answered "yes".

"The time of the feast is set for Youzheng. The place of the banquet is the warm pavilion that everyone often uses when they feast. When the time comes, you will gossip with some of the sisters in the eldest lady's house. Ask the eldest lady what happened in the house during this time. For example, both the eldest and the eldest sent letters to the eldest wife. What was the attitude of the eldest lady when she received the letter from the eldest master, and what was her attitude when she received the letter from the uncle......

Hearing this, Holly suddenly realized.

The days of winter are short, the sky is dark, the owners of each house also have dinner, and the maid and daughter-in-law do not have to be on errands. Set the time for the banquet at this time, and if you want to come, you will naturally come, and if you don't want to come, you will find an excuse not to comeβ€”who wants to come and who doesn't want to come, it will be clear at a glance.

Let's talk about the people who have a treat. I am a maid, but I was sent to invite three powerful mothers, the fifth miss lives in Jiaoyuan, and the tenth and twelfth ladies live in Luyunlou, which are all serious masters of Luofu, but they are just sending a post - Miss is not ready to invite three mothers and three young ladies at all.

When the time comes, the weather is cold, and there are only their big and small maids at the banquet, a few glasses of wine, everyone relaxes, what should be said, what should not be said, I am afraid that they will say it, not to mention that she will "gossip with a few sisters in the big lady's house"......

This kind of roundabout is just to know what is abnormal on the eldest lady's side.

She thought of Amber's sudden arrival again...... It seems that things are not as simple as just pulling out someone. Thinking about Amber's appearance again, ...... age

Holly had a little irritation in her heart.

She assured Shi Niang: "The slave must inquire about this matter clearly." ”

Listening to Holly's categorical tone, Eleven Niang knew that Holly had misunderstood.

Even though she wanted to inquire about the news, she was more afraid of startling the snake.

"This matter, if you can do it, if you can't do it, don't force it." Eleven Niang tried her best to make her demeanor look relaxed, "Let others know, then it's not good." ”

Holly has been by Eleven Niang's side for the past three years, how can she not know that she is in a difficult situation.

"Don't worry, no one will know, Miss."

Eleven Niang knew that Holly had always been cautious, and seeing that everything that should be done had been ordered, whether it could be done or not was the will of God, and her tense heart relaxed slightly. smiled: "Since I will give Amber the wind tomorrow, take ten taels of silver to the kitchen, and let them help buy a table." ”

Holly answered "yes".

Binju smiled: "Miss is confused. Sister Holly has handed over the key, can't she let her post the money herself? Even if Sister Holly is willing, she can't take it out if she is shy in her pocket! ”

Eleven Niang forgot about this and couldn't help laughing.

******

In the evening, when Amber came back, Eleven Niang told her about the banquet: "...... I also want to take this opportunity to let you meet the sisters in the other rooms officially. ”

After a short period of consternation, she quickly smiled and thanked Shi Niang, but there was uneasiness in her eyes that could not be concealed.

Eleven Niang can see it clearly.

His brow furrowed almost invisibly.
