Mrs. Tai looked at Eleven Niang with a smile: "You reported the news, right?" ”

Eleven Niang smiled: "Master Hou is also worried about you!" ”

"You kid......"

Xu Lingyi said: "Mother, why don't you tell me when you come to Xishan?" It's a bumpy road, and if there is something uncomfortable, the child is really to blame. ”

"What nonsense?" Mrs. Tai said angrily, "The blue sky is white, what is dead and alive!" And he said, "I'm just out for a walk, you don't have to make a fuss!" ”

Xu Lingyi still wanted to say something, but Eleven Niang had already pulled the corner of his clothes: "Master Hou came from afar, and he hasn't eaten yet, right?" We just sat down too. ”

At this point, it is useless to say more.

He was just anxious for a while, and was blocked by Eleven Niang, so he reacted immediately and said with a smile: "I didn't eat either!" ”

And Mrs. Tai saw that Eleven Niang pulled Xu Lingyi, and her eyes narrowed: "Eat, eat." ”

The second lady also smiled and asked the maid to serve Xu Lingyi to change her clothes.

The three of them had dinner around Mrs. Tai, and the second lady urged Mrs. Tai to go back: "...... Slow down on the road so as not to get bumpy. ”

Seeing that the second lady was fine, Mrs. Tai relieved herself and instructed for a long time, and then Xu Lingyi accompanied her back to the lotus.

Xu Lingning and Xu Lingkuan were waiting at the gate, and when they saw Xu Lingyi, they were all relieved. When I got off the car at the Hanging Flower Gate, I saw the third lady and the fifth lady, and the two of them stepped forward to greet Mrs. Tai together: "You are back." Only the third lady bowed her knees, and the fifth lady was supported by the people on the side.

Mrs. Tai laughed when she saw this situation: "Are you still afraid that I will get lost?" ”

"Mother, you're old, you can't do this anymore." Xu Lingkuan helped his mother, "The fourth brother heard that you went to Xishan alone, and his face turned white with fright. ”

"Isn't there Eleven Niang with me?" Mrs. Tai smiled, "You guys are making too much fuss!" ”

As he was talking, the little servant ran over: "Master Hou, the father-in-law of Kunning Palace is here." ”

Mrs. Tai was stunned when she heard this.

Xu Lingyi hurriedly said: "The queen mother ordered me to go down to the court to see her, because I was going to Xishan to pick you up, so I made a sigh." Maybe someone was sent to ask what was going on? ”

A trace of uneasiness flashed on Mrs. Tai's face: "Go and talk to Niangniang." She's in the palace, and she doesn't know what it's like to be in a hurry! ”

"If only you knew." Xu Lingkuan helped his mother to the inner courtyard, "Where are you going in the future, tell us first." We've got an arrangement. It's so bold that we can just leave, but it freaks us out......"

Xu Lingyi said, "I'll take a look", and then went out with the little guy.

Eleven Niang followed her to Mrs. Tai's house.

A group of people surrounded Mrs. Tai, or served and changed clothes, or fetched water to clean their faces, or made tea and held snacks...... It's busy.

Mrs. Tai saw that Eleven Niang was also busy with her, and said with a smile: "You can also go back and change your clothes!" ”

It's really bad to feel all the way. Eleven Niang responded with a smile and went back to her house.

Amber and the others were busy serving Eleven Niang again.

She washed her face, combed her hair again, and changed into a green bottom twig treasure bottle makeup gown, and Mother Tao came in.

"Madam, Lu Yonggui is back!"

Lu Yonggui helped Yuan Niang take care of the marriage. When she first got married, she would ask about this person, and Tao's mother flickered between her words, only saying that he went to Guanwai for business. He also hurriedly explained: "...... The property and accounts of the eldest aunt and grandmother are in the hands of Mr. Lu. "I look like I'm afraid she'll ask about it.

Didn't expect him to come back at this time? Or take the initiative to meet her? Don't know what's going on?

"He arrived early in the morning." Mother Tao smiled, "Come and greet you." As a result, you accompanied Mrs. Tai to Xishan. Waited until dusk and you didn't come back. He is a big man, and it is inconvenient for him to stay in the inner courtyard, so he specially asked me to say hello to you on his behalf, and said that he would come to see you early tomorrow morning. ”

Shi Niang thought for a while and said with a smile: "You let him come back to see me before two o'clock in the afternoon!" ”

Tao's mother smiled and responded.

Eleven Niang sat on the mirror table and wore earrings, signaling that she could retreat.

Mother Tao walked to the mirror with a smile and took a silver gilt silk pearl bead flower for her to wear, and said in a low voice: "Madame just entered the door, there are some things I don't know. The minister's house is no richer than the rich and noble, and there are rules for this wife and concubine to get along. In the past, there were only Aunt Qin and Aunt Wen, the eldest aunt and grandmother for twenty days, and the two aunts for five days each. Now that a month has passed, my aunt and grandmother also have to make arrangements in their hearts. ”

She thought she was young and no one told her this...... So "guide" her everywhere.

Eleven Niang smiled: "Mother don't worry about this." I will ask the Hou Ye what he means and then arrange it. ”

Sensing her displeasure, Mother Tao smiled and said, "Madame, don't blame me for being too talkative. The outside affairs are in charge, and the women in the family are in charge, this is a rule that has existed since the beginning of the world. Why do you need to ask Master Hou? Moreover, you go and ask Hou Ye, how can he answer? If you say 'good', you won't end up with the name of a 'favored concubine', and if you say 'not good', won't you bear the reputation of 'good and jealous'. It's up to you! ”

Eleven Niang smiled slightly: "What Mom said is also right." Naturally, I am in charge of the affairs of this house. So I said, where does Master Hou want to rest? How many days will you be off? It's all up to Master Hou! ”

Tao Ma**'s smile froze on her face.

"Well, it's not too early. I'm going to serve Mrs. Tai's dinner. Eleven Niang stood up with a smile, "What's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow!" With that, Lu Yun and Red Embroidery served and went to Mrs. Tai.

Through the curtain, you can hear the cheerful laughter of the fifth lady, and when you walk to the curtain, a faint voice comes: "...... I was envious. I thought that one day I would have to find a way to pick one and wear it. As a result, before I could make up my mind, I was sent back. Today, I can thank my mother's blessing, and my wish has come true! ”

The little maid's voice interrupted the fifth lady's words.

When Eleven Niang entered the house, she saw a big red sea pattern plate on the kang table where Mrs. Tai was sitting, and seven or eight crystal clear white camellias were raised with water.

"Eleven Niang, come here." Mrs. Tai smiled and beckoned to her, "The white camellia in the palace has bloomed, and the mother has sent a few." You pick two too. ”

Eleven Niang saw that the third lady and the fifth lady each had two flowers in their hands, and saw that Xu Lingyi had already folded back, so she couldn't help but secretly guess: Could it be that the queen is worried that Mrs. Tai is not good at asking clearly, so she will take the opportunity to send flowers to the house to explore the truth?

She smiled and went over to salute Mrs. Tai, and while admiring "so beautiful", she picked two flowers.

Mrs. Tai instructed Du's mother to cook.

Yao Huang and Wei Zi hurriedly invited Xu Siqin and the others who were playing in the warm pavilion out.

A few juniors greeted the elders, and everyone gathered around to eat, and then went back to their respective houses.

On the way, Eleven Niang said to Xu Lingyi: "Master Hou, Mother Tao said that Lu Yonggui is back and wants to see me." He is in charge of the eldest sister to marry, and we are meeting for the first time, so I want to invite you to meet this Lu Yonggui with my eldest brother and sister-in-law tomorrow. What do you think? ”

Xu Lingyi stopped, and looked at Eleven Niang with a few smiles: "I'm gone." Just meet your brothers and sisters. "I have an attitude of wanting to be clear.

The next morning, Eleven Niang sent Amber back to Luo's house to invite the uncle and the big * grandmother, and Luo Zhenxing and the big * milk knew that they wanted to see Lu Yonggui, so they immediately agreed.

She called Tao's mother again and asked, "How do you distribute the monthly money of the maid in the house?" ”

Tao's mother smiled: "It turns out that when my aunt and grandmother were in charge, those who worked in the house were sent by the house. The companion rooms of each room shall be managed by the management of each room. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Like you here." Mother Tao explained with a smile, "In terms of name, there are four first-class maids, six second-class maids, ten third-class maids, six rough mothers-in-law, two mother-in-law on the stove, two little maids on the stove, and two rough mother-in-law on the stove." It's all customized. The monthly case is issued by the public in general. For example, the daughter-in-law who combs her hair is not customized, and you have to make your own monthly examples. If you want to add a first-class maid, it is not in the customization, and the monthly list is sent by yourself. ”

In other words, she doesn't have to worry about the monthly routine of these people in the house.

"What if I only have five rough women in my house?"

"Then it's only for five people."

"Will each room receive it and then send it down, or will it be issued uniformly?"

"Uniform hair."

"When?"

"When my aunt and grandmother were there, it was the first day of the new year of every month. Later, the third lady was in charge, and it became the fifteenth of each month. ”

Eleven Niang's face couldn't help but change: "I haven't sent Nanyong's daughter-in-law's monthly case yet?" ”

When she was waiting for the monthly money to live, she had it herself.

Mother Tao smiled: "Although she is an errand boy in your house, she occupies the position of Mrs. Tai's house." The monthly order is received from Mrs. Tai, so you don't have to worry about her monthly order. ”

A little maid came in and said, "Madam, the third lady is here!" ”

What is she here for?

Eleven Niang welcomed the third lady in, and sat on the big kang near the window in the east room.

The maid served tea and held a snack.

Eleven Niang asked her with a smile: "What is the matter with the third sister-in-law?" ”

The third lady pointed to the thing wrapped in a handkerchief in Qiu Ling's hand: "I have sent monthly silver to the fourth brother and sister!" ”

Eleven Niang was a little surprised.

How to say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived!

She let Amber accept it indifferently: "The third sister-in-law sent it personally." ”

"Oops! What is this? The third lady smiled, "I also want to sit here with you." As he spoke, he took a sip of tea and said, "Speaking of which, I also have something I want to discuss with you!" Then he glanced at the people who were serving in the room.

When the eleventh mother heard the sound and knew the elegance, she sent the people who served in the house.

"Fourth brother and sister," the third lady lowered her voice, but her eyes flashed with a burning light, "Do you want to make some pollen rouge money?" ”

Eleven Niang was stunned.

This is already the second person to ask her this!

And the third lady was very satisfied when she saw Eleven Niang's expression. She sighed helplessly: "Ten taels of silver can earn one tael in two days, one hundred taels of silver can earn ten taels, and if there are ten thousand taels of silver, you can earn one thousand taels...... To be honest, such a good thing, if it weren't for the fact that I almost had the capital to make this transaction, I wouldn't be willing to find someone to partner with. ”

Eleven Niang couldn't help frowning.

What's the difference between this and pie in the world?

Unless it is a proper business, how can there be such a high profit? I don't know what the third lady has in mind? What kind of business are you doing? Does Xu Lingyi know about the third lady's "business"?
