Eleven Niang slowly walked back to the West Chamber, and the green slave who had prepared Qingling bean powder was relieved, and waited for the little master to change out of the embroidered shirt and half arm, and put on a more comfortable and elegant soft silk apricot pigment skirt, re-comb the drooping hair, and only wear a string of jade beads around the neck to collect flower collars, Eleven Niang immediately regained her senses, but she just wanted to avoid the servant to practice the pen, but was disturbed by an "uninvited guest".

"Eleven Niang is here?" With the woman's crisp inquiry, the curtain was raised, and a pair of brocade shoes embroidered with begonia flowers all over the clouds stepped in as if they had entered a no-man's land, and were immediately covered by the rose gold embroidered long skirt.

Compared with Chao Zao, Qiao's mother, the mother of the second house, has changed her outfit now, but it is more beautiful.

It was still the mid-twilight spring transition climate, but she couldn't wait to change into a light gauze pink shirt, although she was wearing two layers, she still faintly revealed the skin color of her jade arms, and she was still holding a silk on her arms, and her black hair was combed into a high bun, revealing the inlaid tassel gold pendant worn in her ears.

She swept around the furnishings in the house with a scrutinizing gaze, and saw that although there were no flowers and gold and jade decorations, there were only green plants in front of the corner frame, only a pot of magnolia was placed on the windowsill, but the peony embroidery painting hanging on one side of the wall was actually Yuezhou silk as the bottom, and the cabinet and table couch were also made of red sandalwood, and there was a fine product around the nose, if there was no incense, it was just as elegant as Xiao's usual use, but people couldn't distinguish which spice recipes were difficult to imitate.

Qiao Shi pursed the corners of her lips slightly, and looked at her who had never paid attention to this three-room maid.

That is, most children have Yuxue cute, but the regular behavior is too old, but it is not lively and interesting enough.

Qiao Shi was picky, and at the same time helped up the eleven niang who came forward to salute, and when he saw the little girl's eyebrows clearly, he couldn't help but pouted the corners of his lips again.

These eyebrows, as if painted in new ink, look black and bright, as if more than the Qi Niang sisters Xiao Third Uncle, Xu is really a beauty when he grows up, but I don't know if at that time, the Xiao family is still so virtuous and generous, and chooses a door for this concubine to be comparable to the marriage of her own daughter.

Thinking like this in his heart, Qiao's face was full of smiles, and he pulled Eleven Niang to sit on the brocade couch, and asked about gossip such as "I left Jiangnan at first glance, and I can still get used to returning to Beijing".

Liu Shi Niang coped, couldn't help but secretly figure out Qiao's intentions, of course she felt that the second mother had turned a blind eye to her for a few days, and was more and more suspicious of Qiao's why she would make this trip, when she heard a sentence "I heard that you accidentally fell into the water on the way back, and Wang Qilang rescued her in time", Shi Niang couldn't help but be vigilant - Qiao's own five mothers have been married, should talk about marriage, could it be that she is thinking about the marriage of the Wang family?

Although Wang and Liu are both Jingzhao Ten Wang, and Liu Wuniang is the concubine in the end, she is not as good as Ah Zhen's eldest concubine by virtue of her background, but I am afraid that in Yuan's mind, he is more inclined to avoid the hidden danger of Pei's daughter for Wang Qilang.

Although Yi Shi Niang had to respond to the elder's inquiry, she carefully considered her words and never said a word.

After some side knocking, Qiao Shi never asked half of the attitude of the Wang family, and he felt bored in his heart, secretly suspecting that Eleven Niang was dull and stupid, and finally put this layer of wit aside, and entered the topic in one sentence: "Eleven Niang, I heard that the maid next to you was burned by Yaoying, I wanted to take her to accompany you, but she was imprisoned in the firewood room by Xiao Yu, so I had to let Yaoying's sister Yunying accompany her instead." ”

Only then did Eleven Niang look at the maid who just asked a little bit of courtesy, and before the words fell, she picked up the curtain to let Qiao's inside, and recognized that it was someone who often asked the province with Qiao's morning and dusk, and it should be compared to Yaoying, who dared to disrespect Xiao's, this one was a little more stable and more important to Qiao's.

But I couldn't help but scrutinize secretly, it seems that it was not true that at first I suspected that Qiao's dynasty had suffered a loss because of resentment and deliberately let Yaoying provoke, if this is the case, Qiao's must have a back hand to ensure that the maid escapes punishment, why bother to show weakness in front of her concubine, this is not angry, but adds to the blockage.

That Yaoying dared to be disrespectful to the master mother who was in charge of the middle feed, she should be a violent temperament, but she did not go to Chen Province with Qiao's today, how did she know that Qiao's suffered a loss? Not to mention that without the master's instructions, he made his own initiative to provoke trouble, and behind that Yaoying, I don't know who is secretly provoking.

Thinking of Binu's arm burn, Eleven Niang sneered again and again in her heart - Qiao's "show of weakness" is undoubtedly to use her to intercede, so as to teach Yaoying to escape punishment, and force Xiao's generosity to forgive, and it can be regarded as recovering the little face lost due to early frustration in the court.

Not to mention that if he was really coerced by the Qiao family, the Xiao family could only be tolerant, and it would be difficult to investigate Yaoying's disrespect for the master's family, how could the Xiao family not have resentment in his heart, and how would he restrain his servants in the future?

This "peacemaker", she can't do it and won't do it!

It was Yi Shi Niang who sat calmly and accepted Yun Ying's kneeling salute, but was silent.

Yun Ying didn't wait for Eleven Niang's instructions, and sat up after apologizing, she didn't look at the concubine in the third room at all, regardless of her identity, because of her immature age, how could she understand that those masters and servants had many different etiquettes, and it was already humbling to bow down.

Qiao Shi smiled again: "Yaoying is a mistake, and Eleven Niang should not take it to heart, the daughter's family should be gentle and tolerant, especially in a family like the Liu family, should you be harsh and servant, you are still young, and it is not as good as teaching you this kind of etiquette if you want to come to the maid, and today's mother can also be regarded as instructing you." ”

Eleven Niang bowed slightly: "The mother of the world teaches, and the son does not dare to disobey." ”

Why don't you dare? was a little unconvinced, but Qiao didn't take it to heart, but only secretly slandered this concubine that it was really rotten wood that could not be carved, and simply pulled Eleven Niang up: "In this way, I went to see your mother with my mother, and said that you had forgiven Yaoying's unintentional mistakes, so I came to beg for mercy, and your mother was only happy when she saw that you were so considerate and gentle and tolerant." ”

Eleven Niang also let Qiao's pull her all the way, and when she arrived at Xiao's in a hall, she saw a lot of stewards standing under the steps, all of them hung their heads and kept their voices, Xiao Yuan stood in front of the curtain, and only she dared to step forward to block Qiao's direct entry, and said: "Qiao Niangzi waits, Niangzi is asking." I just glanced at Eleven Niang, who was firmly held in Qiao's hand by Qiao's without worry, and finally didn't say much, and entered the curtain.

Eleven Niangren was outside the curtain, but at this time, she also heard a faint voice-

"The maid and the slave only went to the inner kitchen, and then heard that Yaoying was presumptuous in public, saying that the lady was in charge of the housework in vain but favored one over the other, and only allowed the nephew of the mother's family to live for a long time, but did not allow the in-laws and nephews to visit and study, Yaoying saw the maid and the slave, not only did not know the convergence, but became more and more rampant, and ridiculed the Xiao family, also known as Jingzhao Dawang, how to send the nephew to live in another house for a long time, and take advantage of the in-laws. The maid reprimanded Yao Ying for being disrespectful and violating the rules of the house, but she became angry and started to push the maid, and when she was dissuaded by the people on the side, Yao Ying was still not convinced, and rushed straight to the maid with a bowl of hot soup. ”

Qiao's family naturally heard these words clearly, and immediately did not wait for Xiao Yuan to invite, and stepped in with the curtain in one hand and the eleven niang in the other.

On the main seat of the hall, although Xiao Shi saw Xiao Yuan entering, he did not interrupt the report, but guessed that it should be an uninvited guest, and sure enough, she saw Qiao Shi come to "Xingshi to ask about the crime", she was not annoyed, only signaled to say goodbye, and made a "please situation": "Sister-in-law is here, please take a seat, how can you say, serve a pulp drink for your sister-in-law." ”

After Eleven Niang stepped forward to see her, she naturally sat on the last couch obediently, but Xiao didn't ask why Eleven Niang came here, only after Qiao picked up the glass cup and touched her lips slightly, she glanced at Xiao Yuan.

When the second servant withdrew from the hall, Qiao Shi couldn't wait to smile and said: "I just led Yunying and Eleven Niang to accompany me, this child is really well-behaved, saying that there are some quarrels between the servants and maids, Yaoying burned Binu by mistake, she won't blame at all, and took the initiative to come to me to beg for Yaoying." ”

It seems that he has not heard those words at all, and he doesn't know that Yao's English is disrespectful.
