Chapter 521: Suffering a Loss (I)

When she returned to the house at night, Xu Lingyi twisted Eleven Niang's nose: "What the hell?" ”

Eleven Niang avoided her side face and said with a smile: "Was it seen by the Hou Ye?" ”

"Danyang's smile is so flamboyant, I can't pretend I don't know it."

Eleven Niang laughed playfully: "I just think that the third sister-in-law is too picky, and I want to make the third sister-in-law's heart ache." But I didn't want the third sister-in-law to hurt her vitality, so I thought of this method. not only made face, but also gave things to Brother Qin and his niece and daughter-in-law - and did not let the third sister-in-law suffer! ”

Xu Lingyi thought for a moment and said with a smile: "It's Danyang's idea, right?" ”

So sure!

Eleven Niang said angrily: "How does Master Hou know that it wasn't my idea? ”

"You?" Xu Lingyi smiled and nodded her nose, "Where did you come up with such an idea?" ”

Eleven Niang smiled: "Master Hou, don't underestimate me!" ”

Xu Lingyi hugged her: "If you follow Danyang for a few years, you may have two points of growth!" He said in a low voice, "The hairpin with less fulcrum emerald is missing, and I will make it up to you!" Then he smiled and went into the clean room.

Eleven Niang looked at Xu Lingyi's back and didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

It turned out that he was so generous in Xu Lingyi's mind.

However, thinking about today's events, she still admires the fifth lady.

Before, she was worried that it would be self-defeating, and the fifth lady patted her chest: "The third sister-in-law will definitely move when she looks at things, and Mrs. Gan will definitely jump out to help when she hears the fourth sister-in-law speak." You can rest assured. It can be done! ”

One by one, I really got this done.

It's just that I don't know if Grandma Hong has teamed up with the Fifth Lady.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile faintly.

Gu's mother hugged Brother Jin over: "Madam, look, this is a meeting gift from the eldest young grandmother to the sixth young master." ”

Brother Jin wears a tiger head hat on his head, with fine workmanship and bright colors, not to mention that it is very suitable to wear, and there is a tiger tail dragged behind, which is more creative.

It may be that the weather is not cold enough to wear a hat, and Brother Jin keeps pulling his hat, but he can't pull it down, and his little face is red with anger.

Shi Niang took off the hat with a smile, and Brother Jin immediately threw herself into Shi Niang's arms and pouted aggrievedly.

"Put your hat away!" Eleven Niang smiled and touched her son's head, and looked down to see that Brother Jin was also wearing a pair of tiger head shoes on his feet, and the tiger's beard was black and straight.

"The young grandmother has moved her mind!" Gu's mother praised again, then took off her shoes and changed the black velvet shoes for Brother Jin'er.

Eleven Niang suddenly became a little envious of the third lady.

It would be nice if Brother Jin could marry such a daughter-in-law in the future.

The thought flashed, and I felt a little ridiculous that I remembered the matter of marrying a daughter-in-law so early. Xu Siyu's marriage has no shadow!

She coaxed Brother Jin to sleep.

Over there, the fifth lady was talking to grandma Hong.

"Every time it's a pickled look, if I don't make trouble like this, the Xu family will lose face." The fifth lady brought the newly listed persimmons and oranges to entertain the grandma, "I really don't know what the third sister-in-law thinks!" He added, "It's just that the three cousins-in-law broke the bank!" ”

"Is there such a time to be in the limelight!" Grandma Hong picked a piece of Hangzhou cake with her teeth, and said with a smile: "What do you say is not a cost." Your sister-in-law can still get this little thing. It's just that I didn't expect the four brothers and sisters to help you act, otherwise, I'll see how you end up - maybe you lost a sideburns in vain! ”

"Sister-in-law in the lobby, don't look away. The fourth sister-in-law is the one who is the best at settling accounts. The fifth lady was unimpressed, and leisurely peeled an orange, "Don't forget, she has four sons. How can you earn back what you sent out? ”

Grandma Hong laughed: "You are still so young, maybe I will send congratulations again next year!" ”

The fifth lady pursed her lips and smiled.

Hexiang came in and said, "Madam, the fifth master said that I will drink with the third master tonight, so don't wait for the door!" ”

The fifth lady replied, "Got it", and Grandma Liuhong, "You can rest with me today!" ”

"I'd better go back first!" Grandma Hong got up and said, "This time Brother Qin got married, your eldest brother and second cousin have something to do, the third uncle sent us over, and now I am drinking in the outer courtyard, how can I, the sister-in-law, let the two younger siblings leave the order!" What's more, there are also your nephews and daughters-in-law. ”

The fifth lady didn't stay long, smiled and sent Grandma Hong to the guest room, and went to the guest room early the next morning to pick up Grandma Hong and others to go to the flower hall for breakfast. Seeing her come in, Dingsan's grandmother pulled the fifth lady: "I really didn't expect you to be a spicy person." Let me tell you, when our two sons get married, you can be careful for me! ”

"Rest assured, rest assured." The fifth lady smiled, "Why do I have to go to Nanjing." When the time comes, it will be disposed of by the three sisters-in-law. ”

Everyone listened and laughed for a while, and went to greet Mrs. Tai together.

Mrs. Tai took the two granddaughters-in-law from Nanjing to talk for a long time, and rewarded some things, and the third lady brought her daughter-in-law to greet Mrs. Tai, and also brought Fang's Yuanpa over to show Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai looked happy, and took the Fang family, who was so ashamed that she didn't dare to raise her head, to have breakfast in the flower hall, and Xu Lingyi took her to the ancestral hall to see the temple, and arranged for someone to send Xu Siqin and Fang's back to the door, talk and chat with Grandma Hong and others, play cards and eat wine, and have a good day, until Xu Siqin and Fang's family came back from the courtyard of Liu Shilang's house borrowed by the Fang family.

Zhu Xiang took advantage of the time to remove the makeup of Eleven Niang and said softly: "Because the marriage is done in the house, the people who help are the stewards and servants of the department." The congratulatory gifts of each family are also registered in the register of the branch office. I heard that the eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother walked on the front foot, so Gan Laoquan went to the account book of the department. Seeing that it was Steward Zhao sitting in the formation at that time, he didn't dare to ask, so he turned around and went back. The third lady sulked for a while. ”

Eleven Niang kind of understood what Mrs. Tai meant.

Since the marriage is done in the house, it is natural that the public should pay for it, but in this way, the congratulatory gifts of each family should also be received in the public. Naturally, there is no reason to take it out.

Anyone who has ever had a happy event knows it. This white wedding should set up ceremonies, invite monks and Taoist priests to do water and land dojos, buy tombs, invite people to mourn, etc., all of which cost money, and the bigger the scene, the more loss. Unlike red ceremonies, the biggest cost is the banquet, the more people come, the more it will be completed, and no matter how bad it is, the new daughter-in-law can also get the meeting gifts of each family. This time, Xu Siqin got married, and the Xu family opened more than 300 tables, and only those who made money did not lose. It's no wonder that the third lady is in a hurry.

But I heard Mrs. Tai's tone, as if she didn't plan to settle this account with the third lady.

"You continue to pay attention," Eleven Niang instructed Zhu Xiang, "see what is going on over there of the third lady." ”

Zhu Xiang answered.

A few days later, Grandma Hongda and others returned to Nanjing, and she quietly told Eleven Niang: "The third lady went to see Mrs. Tai for Qiuling's business!" ”

As for what Mrs. Tai said that day, most of the people in the house knew about it. Some people also jokingly call Qiuling an "aunt", Qiuling doesn't walk around the house these days.

Shi Niang thought of her kindness to herself, a little worried, very concerned about her future, and couldn't help but "oh" when she heard the words, and said, "What did you say?" ”

Zhu Xiang said in a low voice: "The third lady said that she had already married Qiu Ling Xu to an entourage beside the third master. First, Qiuling's identity was humble and he never told him; Second, Mrs. Tai's words came in a hurry, and she didn't refute them. Now that the second young master's affairs are over, he specially told Mrs. Tai. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, so as not to embarrass the third master. She also became a clumsy wife. ”

Eleven Niang breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "Qiu Ling's marriage was set temporarily? Or is it really as the third lady said, it has been decided a long time ago? ”

Zhu Xiang said: "I haven't heard of it before!" ”

In other words, it may be an excuse to shirk Mrs. Tai. I don't know what kind of man this attendant is.

Eleven Niang frowned and said, "Mrs. Tai is just deterring the third lady, and when the third lady says this, Mrs. Tai will definitely not mention this matter again!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhu Xiang smiled and nodded, "Mrs. Tai only instructed the third lady a few words, 'Don't let the third master have no one to take care of in office', and she didn't say anything more." The third lady seemed to be afraid of long nights and dreams, so she asked Mrs. Tai to help Qiuling set the day. Mrs. Tai flipped through the imperial calendar and set it at October 18. ”

"So fast!" Eleven Niang groaned, "When the time comes, remember to help me get ten taels of silver to add a box to Qiu Ling." ”

Zhu Xiang answered, and a little maid came in and said, "Madam, Mrs. Tai, please come over and speak." ”

Don't know what's going on?

Eleven Niang and Zhu Xiang couldn't help but exchange a look.

Mrs. Tai was leaning on the pillow of the big kang near the window and playing leaf cards with Mother Du, Jade Edition, and another second-class maid. Seeing Shi Niang come in, she immediately lost her card and patted the scarlet brocade mattress beside her: "Come, come and sit." ”

Du's mother and the others immediately stood up.

Eleven Niang smiled and saluted Mrs. Tai, sat down beside Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Tai took her hand, and the fat red had briskly accepted the card, and the jade version served tea.

Mrs. Tai sent the people in the house and muttered, "Brother Yu'er is also fifteen years old this year, right?" ”

Could it be that because Xu Siqin became a relative, he remembered Xu Siqin's marriage?

Eleven Niang discussed, smiled and responded "yes", and said: "October 25 should be fifteen years old and sixteen years old." ”

Mrs. Tai nodded slightly, with a satisfied look in her eyes, and said softly: "He is not too young, and he is out of service again." You have to pay more attention to the things in the house. Pick two people for him who are handsome and loyal, and put them in the house! ”

Eleven Niang was stunned before she reacted.

I can't help but sweat.

Xu Sizhen hasn't graduated from junior high school yet!

However, this is the norm in this era, she is not easy to object, she should smile and go back to discuss with Xu Lingyi.

"It doesn't need to be so early! Beware of ruining your body. ”

"It's not small." Xu Lingyi disagreed, "It's late September now, if you go back to Le'an, this time will be delayed on the road." I wrote a letter to Mr. Jiang and waited for the spring season next year to return to Le'an. That's it! ”

Eleven Niang had no choice but to say: "This is not something that can be done in a while." You can't put a troublemaker in the house. It's better not to let people go. ”

Xu Lingyi smiled when he heard this: "What's so bad about this!" When the daughter-in-law entered the door and was obedient, the elder brother wanted to stay again, so it was better to stay. If you don't obey, just send it out. ”
