Qiao's instigation played a role only two days later, showing that the Liu family, who had never been reluctant to come to the door, actually invited a few clan women to come to the Jingzhao Liu clan's mansion on this day, saying that it was because of the wind and the sun, and came to gossip with Mrs. Wei. Most of the companions are peers, have been grandmothers, only one of the old lady Zhou is a generation older than Mrs. Wei, the family is also a branch, the deceased husband once also had the title of county duke, of course she also has the right to speak in the clan affairs, and the personality is strong, known as prestige, although the age is over sixty, the body is still healthy, and the voice is like a bell when speaking, which adds to the decisive momentum.

Mrs. Zhou usually does not like to go door-to-door, and now the Liu family is the highest, only Mrs. Wei goes to greet on weekdays, she rarely comes to the mansion, today is an unprecedented visit, of course, not just for gossip, the Liu family can move this person, naturally can only tell the truth, if you use excuses, I am afraid that I will be counted first.

However, the rest of the clan women don't know the reason, they have always been obedient and obedient to Mrs. Tai, and they usually come to get close to each other from time to time.

Therefore, at first, the atmosphere in Xuxiao Hall was also pleasant, although there was a mighty group of people, but there was no momentum.

"What about Jun's daughter-in-law? We've been sitting here for a long time, why haven't we seen her? After the gossip was over, Mrs. Zhou took the lead in asking, showing some signs of impatience.

Mrs. Wei replied: "There are two sisters and brothers in the Huoyi branch, because they have no support to vote, the poor girl is only twelve, and she actually took her younger brother to Beijing, I only saw her two sisters and brothers earlier, and I took a comparison, although Qian'er is only seven years old, it is rare to be able to recite the "Analects", but Xu is quite difficult to toss and turn over the years, and has not been explained by the teacher, can not be integrated, only by hard work, the back is very ripe, I think, horizontal and vertical are also teaching San Lang and Xiao Xiaojiu at the moment, plus Qian'er to study together, so as to supervise each other's progress. ”

Old Madam Zhou frowned: "Is it the Huoyi branch?" Even if it declined, how could the Jinju branch ignore the orphans and children in the clan, and let the two children travel thousands of miles to vote. ”

"It's not as good as my aunt said, I also feel ridiculous in my heart, but I can ask and ask, Ting'er only said that she was planning to be the younger brother, and insisted on coming to Jingzhao, I took a lot of roundabouts, only to ask some eyebrows, although the sister and brother have to shelter and live in the Jinzhou clan, but in the end there is no parent to rely on, as the days are long, the servant women will inevitably be embarrassed, Ting'er is this age, no one teaches the piano, chess, poetry and painting, and a female red needle chisel is practiced out, in the Jinzhou clan, was assigned a lot of needlework, and the two sisters and brothers are clothed, She sewed it by herself inside and out, and I saw that she was really grinding out of the needle cocoon. Mrs. Wei sighed lightly: "In the end, it is still from Qian'er's mouth, he is in Jinzhou Ethnology, because he offended a few unscrupulous children, he was beaten twice in three days, his sister was distressed, and he was bullied for his younger brother to seek justice, but he was ridiculed and didn't know what to do, Ting'er, this child was also worried about delaying Qian'er, so he decided to change to us." ”

Mrs. Zhou raised her eyebrows: "This Jinzhou branch is too unjust, although there are many clan affairs, and the people of the shelter clan can't face each other, but in the end, they are lonely and small, they should always use more heart, fortunately, there is no accident on the road between the sisters and brothers, if there is a case, the clan will lose its shelter and cause the orphans and children to be lost, and it will be spread out but the entire Liu family will lose morality!" ”

"Knowing this situation, Xingzhou also cherishes Ting'er a little more, thinking that if the two sisters and brothers are sent back, even if the Taiyuan Sect comes forward to scold the Jinzhou branch, it will not be conducive to the future of the child, and it is proposed that we simply take it in and let Ting'er and Wuniang sisters live together, as for Qian'er, it is better to teach Junyi for a few years first, and then go to the clan study when he is older." Mrs. Wei said: "Xingzhou led Ting'er to the inner house to settle down. ”

Mrs. Zhou bowed her head at this time: "Jun's daughter-in-law is still appropriate, it should be like this, if you send people back to Jinzhou again, you may not be treated into something." ”

When a few women heard this, they naturally praised the Xiao family, and the Liu family saw that Mrs. Zhou was interrupted by this matter, and forgot to ask the guilt of Xingshi, and was anxious, and drank a mouthful of buttermilk in a hurry, almost choked and coughed, pressed her chest and calmed down for a while, and finally waited until the group of sycophants stopped, and hurriedly interjected: "Wife, I was unwell some time ago, and you didn't have a chance to come over for Xingzhou's birthday, but afterwards I heard the two daughters-in-law mention how smart Eleven Niang is, and she is quite loved by you, and she was allowed to come forward to entertain guests at a young age. I only wonder, Xinyi only has one Wu Niang, and Jun Yi only has Qi Niang and Jiu Niang under his knees, and Shiyi has not even settled the marriage, when did you add the granddaughter of Shi Niang? After asking carefully, I realized that it was a concubine, and later I heard that the concubine left Eleven Niang to teach in person, and I felt even more wonderful, presumably Eleven Niang was not well-behaved, why didn't I see her today? ”

Of course, Mrs. Wei learned that Qiao's had already gone to Qinrenfang, and she had already prepared for Liu's party today, so she only replied with a smile: "I went to the inner house with Xingzhou." ”

Mrs. Zhou got this reminder, and immediately remembered it: "I didn't mention the daughter-in-law of Zhilang, and I didn't even pay attention to it, after the tenth mother, it is Zhuo Yi and Quan Yi's two concubines, but Zhuo Yi's daughter is actually the twelfth mother, I only learned today that the eleventh mother turned out to be the daughter of Junyi." ”

Except for the Liu family, the rest of the people immediately understood a little when they heard this, and they immediately complained, they were still strange, the Liu family has always not been associated with the sect house, why did they invite to gossip together on a whim today, it turned out that they were going to make trouble for Mrs. Tai, how could the Liu family ignore them, but what does it mean to use them to crusade together? Since Mrs. Tai has been a clan wife, she has always been fair, and they have gained a lot of benefits from each branch and room, and it is too late to please them, how dare they offend.

One of the women is also a descendant, and immediately decomposed for Mrs. Tai to correct her position: "The mother doesn't know, Eleven Niang is indeed obedient and clever, although she is still young, the etiquette is not lost to Siniang, I seem to have heard that Xiao Jiulang is more strong than Eleven Niang because of disobedience, the result is invincible, Xiao Jiulang is talented, Eleven Niang is better, don't say that the second sister-in-law, that is, I have such a granddaughter, and I can't bear to let her be wronged, since she is talented, she should show people, and it is also the glory of the Liu family, But if you don't rank the teeth, how should you call it in front of people in the future? You can't always call your girlfriend by her name. ”

Although Mrs. Zhou is strong, she is also born with a big surname in the end, and she is also talented, and she has always preferred the younger generation with good intelligence, so she was curious: "Is this really the case?" Eleven Niang's ability to remember is better than Xiao Jiajiulang? ”

Liu sneered secretly - what kind of talent is brilliant and intelligent, how much ability can a five-year-old child have, if the genius is really so easy to see, then how can Xiao Jiu of the Xiao family become a star and hold the moon? It's just that she, the concubine, is eccentric, so she finds such an excuse to deal with people's words. It was easy for her to instigate Mrs. Zhou, the aunt of the clan, to come forward, just because this person who has always been intolerant of sand in her eyes, and when she debunked the big words of the concubine in person, she would definitely let her lift a stone and drop it on her feet and not come to the stage, and her selfishness would be made public, so as to reveal the hypocrisy of so many years, and see what face she still has to dictate to this woman.

Therefore, Liu Shi did not say those sour and jealous words at this time, but only smiled slightly: "If Eleven Niang is really so smart, but it is better than many children and nephews, Xiao Jiulang is even the son of the country to supervise the wine is rare in the world, I really didn't think that our Liu family also has such a talented person, I am more and more curious, I think my aunt also has opinions and knowledge." ”

Mrs. Zhou bowed her head again and again: "Let Eleven Niang come to see her, the old body really has to be tested well, the nephew and daughter-in-law may wish to talk carefully, how can Eleven Niang beat Xiao Jiu of the Xiao family?" ”

Eleven Niang was in Fucuiwu at this time, accompanying Xiao to introduce Ting to the little ladies, Xiao did not mention the details, only said that Ting and the sister and brother are relatives, and will live in their own house for a long time in the future, and told their girls to get along with Ting and get along, and arranged for Ting to live with Qi Niang for the time being.

The little sisters were talking in one place, and they were having a good time.

Cao Yuan came to invite Eleven Niang to Xuxiao Hall.

Liu Ting only learned today that Xiao also had two daughters, Qi Niang and Jiu Niang, and was arranged to live with Qi Niang, so she naturally became close to this person, and she didn't want to wait for Eleven Niang to leave, so she listened to Qi Niang explain in a low voice: "Eleventh Sister is still young, not living with us in Fucuiwu, but under the care of her grandmother, although she is a concubine, but because she is smart and clever, the eldest mother and A-Niang are very fond of each other, and other ordinary concubines, Sister Ting understands in her heart, but don't mention Eleven Sister as a concubine in person, just when she is like us, lest the eleventh sister fall into her heart. ”

What does this mean? Liu Ting looked at Qi Niang carefully, but saw a gentle smile, which seemed to be a sincere reminder.

She remembered just along the way, because it was inevitable to see the sisters in the clan, and the eleventh sister was intimate and comforted: "Sister Ting, don't worry, the sisters are very good, the fourth sister has always been friendly, and will be out of the cabinet soon, the fifth sister has also been married, and is discussing relatives, the seventh sister and the ninth sister are all out of the mother's concubine, the seventh sister is the elder, the mother should be able to explain to the seventh sister to take care of Sister Ting, the seventh sister is a little introverted, but it is not difficult to get along, although the ninth sister is coquettish, but it is the most ancient way of warming, if Sister Ting has difficulties, regardless of the seventh sister and the ninth sister, you can speak out. ”

At that time, Ting and vaguely guessed that Eleven Niang might be a concubine, otherwise she would not have deliberately emphasized that Qi Niang and Jiu Niang were concubines.

But now listening to Liu Qiniang's meaning, it seems to imply that Eleven Niang will care about the difference between the concubines and the concubines, but it is not easy to get along?
