Chapter 455: Ripples (Part II)
When the brothers Xu Siqin and Xu Sijian arrived at Fallen Leaf Mountain. Xu Siyu is reading.
When he saw the two of them, he happily greeted them.
Xu Siqin saw the books piled up on his desk. Pen resting on inkstone. I feel a little uncomfortable.
Since Xu Siyu went to Fallen Leaf Mountain, he has been here several times. Every time he came, Xu Siyi was either reading or writing. Compared with their relaxation and comfort of a five-day break and a ten-day holiday, it is a lot harder. But it also gives people a sense of steadiness that is slowly approaching the goal. And the distance between himself and this younger brother who grew up together since childhood is getting bigger and bigger!
He couldn't help but say, "Second brother, is there any condition for Mr. Jiang to accept students?"
Xu Siqin was slightly stunned. Thought about it. Said: "It seems that there are no conditions, as long as you can afford to pay Shu Xiu. Just follow the rules of the College. "After saying that, I felt that it was wrong again." The horn can't afford to pay the bundle of repairs, so Mr. Jiang will let him owe. "That doesn't seem right." The tower also owes what has not been returned.
Mr. Jiang had the account books burned. He thought of Xu Siqin's intention to ask about this life, and said softly. Does the eldest brother also want to go to the academy to study? ”
Xu Siqin nodded. He said softly, "You are all so motivated, if I still get by like this. I really don't deserve to be a brother. ”
Xu Sijian listened and said busily: "Big brother is very good to us. Always looked after us. How can you say that you are not worthy of being a brother? Then he said to Xu Siyu. Second brother, why don't we go to the academy to study together? Maybe. We can also test Xiucai. Lift people now! ”
"Glory is the first filial piety." Xu Siyu nodded slightly. The eldest brother and the third brother are willing to go. I also have a companion, which is great. However, it's better to ask the third uncle in private about this matter first! ”
Xu Siqin nodded. I just feel that sitting here is a delay in the good times. I wrote a letter to the third master with the pen and ink that Xu Si said, and sent someone to Shanyang when I returned home.
Eleven Niang's side ushered in Mrs. Zhou.
"If I'm not mistaken. First of all, there will be a de-service ceremony next month, right?
Eleven Niang instructed the little maid to pretend to be rewarded in the womb for a few days, and said, "I will do the service in the middle of next month." ”
Mrs. Zhou showed a slight smile and held the teacup and whispered, "I know it too. I came early. But Wang Ze's mother has had tea since the wind and cold years ago. He has been sick quickly, and he said that he was well......
Eleven Niang immediately understood.
The eldest lady will only take it next month. But Yuhang is thousands of miles away from Yanjing. It will take at least a month to get married. Not discussed sooner. The marriage will be next summer or autumn at the earliest.
"Wang Gongzi's mother. Is it seriously ill?
Wang Ze is five years older than Twelve Niang, and he is nineteen years old. It's also old. If you encounter filial piety, it will be pushed for another two years...... And when the time comes, there will be a Yu Festival and a Daxiang Festival. At that time, the relatives of the family will come to Zhuxiang, and the Wang family is a big family. If there was no one in the family who presided over the feed, wouldn't it be a mess.
"It's just not getting better." Mrs. Zhou's expression darkened slightly. I'm driving. It's been a lot of work in the past few years!
The Wang family is in need of people, and it will be a little unreasonable to bite those agreements at the beginning.
"Sister Zhou rest assured. I'll send someone to Yuhang with a letter.
It's a bit rude to say this after all.
Mrs. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and went to Mrs. Tai to salute. After saying a few words, the idle gang got up and took his leave.
Eleven Niang sent Song's mother to take some tonic medicine to see Wang Ze's relatives, and wrote two letters to Yu Kang. One to Luo Gen, telling the Twelfth Niang about the Twelfth Mother: a letter to Grandma Luo, let her even if it is temporary, and find a way to tell the Twelve Niang some housekeeping tips. He also asked Zhu Xiang to prepare a silver ticket of 1,000 taels of silver: "When the time comes, add a box to the twelve mothers." This money is a big stick. It can also be used for a few years. ”
Zhu Xiang smiled in response. I was about to go down and prepare. Yang came over.
"Went to the conservatory today. Seeing that this Jin Ruyi was growing well, he cut two branches. "She had a red chestnut in her hand. Inserted a yellow chrysanthemum, the color is very gorgeous, and the eleventh mother's small furnishings pay attention to the gorgeous behavior is quite consistent, it can be seen. It's taken you to think," just for Mrs. to put on the kang table to watch. ”
Eleven Niang let the autumn rain and flowers with flower sacs be placed in the banquet place of the east room: "I still have two jade cups on the windowsill. Then let Xiao Y take a small pestle for her to sit on.
Yang sat down with a smile and asked about the matter in the embroidery shop: "Some time ago, I was rushing to the little young master's swaddling clothes day and night, and I didn't ask much. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is a Double Ninth Festival, and I don't know if the work in the shop can be rushed. ”
Eleven Niang's embroidery shop has now wrapped the complement of the Internal Affairs Office, and not only that. Also famous. Said that the patches in her shop were well embroidered. All those who are released from outside and new to Beijing have to go to their rusty shops to order patches, and even the business with happy accounts has improved. In the red autumn, ten embroidery girls were added, and in the summer. Twelve more were added, and Master Jian came over to discuss with her for two days, wanting to add fifteen more. In this way, it is not counting the daughters-in-law of the Yongping Marquis Mansion. Take it to consignment, and they like to shop more than 50 embroidery girls. In the middle of the year, when he was settling accounts, he earned more than 2,000 taels of silver, which scared Mrs. Gan a lot. shouted that he wanted to take back the shop next door and make it an embroidery shop.
Master Jian wanted to buy a house not far from the wedding shop, so that he could play those embroiderers from Jiangnan. In this case, the money will have to be taken out again. Eleven Niang and Mrs. Gan both won each other's hearts, and the two of them each paid five dry two silver. Master Jian was busy looking at the house with the people in Yaxing.
"I haven't been there for a while." Eleven Niang smiled. It's all Master Jane in charge. Listening to the tone, the business in the shop is not bad. ”
Yang took a few tricks and came out: "I painted it when I was idle for the past two days, and Mrs. sees it as suitable or not?" ”
A set full of petite pools. A set of happy encounters. A set of ten brocades. It's all festive.
Eleven Niang smiled and accepted it. Xu Lingyi is back.
Yang hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Xu Lingyi nodded. I saw a flower mix on the table. Said: "Didn't you say that you don't take a needle and thread these days?" Why did you start embroidering again? ”
"It's just a trick." Eleven Niang stepped forward to take Xu Lingyi's official clothes and handed them to the little maid on the side, and asked Xiao Y to bring in the chilled Ludou soup. I want to ask the queen what happened to him in the palace, and I saw that the Yang family was respectfully helping the little maid to carry water. I swallowed what I was going to say again.
Xu Lingyi went to the clean room and washed his face. I came out with a homely robe of fine arrowroot. Sitting on the kang with bamboo leather by the window, I took a sip of the mung bean soup served by the little maid. actually took the initiative to say: "Guess what, what happened to the queen mother asking me to enter the palace?"
Eleven Niang glanced at Yang. Didn't make a sound.
Xu Lingyi felt something strange at this time. He glanced at Yang and said, "You all go down!"
The maids heard the Hou Ye mention the queen's mother. Thinking that there must be something urgent, he hurriedly bent his knees and said "yes".
Yang pursed his lips. Only trailing it backed.
Only then did Eleven Niang smile and said, "What does the queen mother command?" ”
Xu Lingyi looked at her and smiled: "Let me enter the palace. I made a special trip to lead two stable mothers. A healer returned.
Is it the one I said last time?
Shi Niang listened and hurriedly said: "Has anyone entered the house?"
Xu Lingyi said: "They still have to go to the Internal Affairs Office to get the sign, and they should be there in a while." ”
Eleven Niang called Song's mother to come in and asked her to arrange people to the east wing of the scattered courtyard: "...... Those who are afraid of eating are compared to Mama Du beside Mrs. Tai.
Mother Song heard that the queen's grandmother had rewarded people and raised her eyebrows. When I went out, I saw the Yang family standing there talking to the two new little maids, Xiulian and Shengmei, rolled her eyes, stepped forward and said hello with a smile, and said, "The queen mother rewarded two stable women and a medical woman to enter the house to serve the lady, and I am short of people to sweep the house......"
Yang was slightly stunned. Hurriedly smiled: "If my mother doesn't dislike me for being slow, I'll also go and do a favor!"
Mother Song smiled: "I want to borrow Aunt Yang's strength!" "Then tell Xiulian." You go and call Dong Hong in Aunt Wen's house and the embroidery detective in Aunt Qiao's house. What comes out of the palace is not as usual, and the hairy little maid is not at ease. I have to go to my aunt's house and borrow these capable people to take you on the road. ”
Xiulian thought that she was also a new little Y Fan. Blushing and bending his knees to say "yes", he walked quickly to the east courtyard.
Mother Song looked at Yang with a smile: "Aunt Yang, let's go to the east wing of the Jingyuan."
Yang snorted coldly in his heart.
What little maid is not reassuring to do things, and she wants the personal maid in the aunt's house to act with her, which is obviously to show off the queen's grace to her wife in front of her aunt.
She didn't show any lines on her face, and smiled and grabbed Mother Song's arm: "Our wife is really favored by the queen's mother, and she not only gives people to serve. This stable woman, the doctor's wife, everything has been thought of for Mrs. ”
When it's time to be low-key, you have to be low-key, and when it's time to be high-profile, you have to be high-profile. Mother Song's face was full of smugness: "Of course." Not only that, but the queen mother also said, wait until she is born. Let the adults pick the nurse in the house. What kind of place is the mansion, a place to prepare nurses for the palace concubines and princes......"
Yang listened with a smile, but his mind spun quickly.
Mrs. Tai heard about it over there, and personally came to meet the three people from the palace.
The two stable women are chubby and dundy, and they look very untaught. The doctor's surname is Peng. With a shoehorn face, the person is black and tired, and he wears an eggplant-colored gown, which has a strong local atmosphere.
Mrs. Tai privately instructed Eleven Niang: "The one surnamed Peng is either very lucky. Or very capable. Whatever it is. It is fate to be able to come to our house. You have to be respectful.
In fact, Mrs. Tai also found two stable mothers for Eleven Niang.
Eleven Niang smiled: "Don't worry. Since it is the queen's reward. I will tell the maid and mother-in-law to be polite.
Mrs. Tai nodded: "I see, the delivery room is located in the ear room." ”
In ancient times, it was believed that production was a filthy thing, and people with conditions would set up a special room.
Xu Lingyi thought of the eleventh mother, who has always paid attention to the details. Knowing this, he asked Wei: "What do you think?"
Eleven Niang felt that the ear room was a little simple, but the layout was also: "Niang is an experienced person. Whoever listens to the mother.
Xu Lingyi nodded. The next day, I found that Eleven Niang opened the warehouse and arranged the ear room. After being slightly stunned, he couldn't help but laugh.
