Chapter 120: Family Banquet Pink Ticket 114o

The little maid led a woman in parrot green satin trousers.

She is only thirty-seven or eighteen years old. She is of medium build, somewhat thin, with a wide forehead and a nose job. She is very beautiful, but her eyebrows are very dignified, so she looks a bit serious.

Lord Marquis, madam, she respectfully bowed to Eleven Niang and Xu Lingyi, her behavior revealing the unique elegance and reserve of a woman from an aristocratic family.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but secretly praise her.

Compared with her mother, Qiao Lianfang feels that it is difficult to paint the skin of a tiger but the bones of a tiger.

But because of this, Eleven Niang couldn't help but shake her head slightly.

If she hadn't been involved in this matter, why would Qiao Lianfang have to greet her morning and night? How could Mrs. Qiao be treated like this? As the concubine's mother, she is not a relative of the Xu family. To come see her daughter, it is necessary

If Eleven Niang agrees, she still has to go through the corner door.

Xu Lingyi said nothing, just nodded, his attitude seemed very indifferent.

Eleven Niang could only smile and said: What's wrong with Mrs. Qiao?

Mrs. Qiao's eyes darkened and she whispered: I am here to thank the Marquis and his wife. Lianfang's father passed away early, and I only have this daughter on my knees, so I have high hopes for her. She was enlightened at the age of three. She read Zhu at the age of five.

My son is smart and sensible. She is loved by the Duke and his wife, who take her with me to educate her. I am a womanly person with little knowledge and short-sightedness. I have pampered her like a jewel, and now I have cultivated her.

She had a character that was not familiar with the world. After saying that, she knelt down and made a deep blessing ceremony. If she did anything rude, please ask the Marquis and Madam to bear with her because she lost her father when she was young.

.I am deeply grateful.

Ha, I didn’t expect that Mrs. Qiao was also very good at talking.

He not only talked about Qiao Lianfang's poor life experience of being raised by a widowed mother after his father died early; he also talked about how talented his daughter was; he also talked about the relationship between Qiao Lianfang and Cheng Guogong and his arrogant character.

It's something I'm used to.

What a wonderful person indeed.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but look up at Xu Lingyi.

I happened to see Xu Lingyi's eyes glancing over.

He looked slightly stunned, as if he was saying, this is your women's family matter, do you need me to come forward?

Eleven Niang sighed secretly in her heart, and stepped forward to help Mrs. Qiao: You are too humble. Sister Qiao is polite and has a gentle personality. The Marquis and I like her very much. Mrs. Qiao does not have to worry about her living in the house.

not good.

I gently counterattacked, what do you mean by saying this? Could it be that Qiao Lianfang complained to you, or you feel that your daughter has been wronged.

Mrs. Qiao stood up and looked at Eleven Niang with a decent smile: It was precisely because Lianfang was living so well here that I felt uneasy. It was just a small cold, and she actually invited several imperial doctors to diagnose her. It was still not enough.

I invited my concubine to come and see her. It was so arrogant that I was very frightened.

Do you mean that your daughter is more arrogant, or that you are more arrogant to Qiao Lianfang like this?

Eleven Niang smiled slightly: Mr. Hou treats others with kindness. We sisters should also appreciate the painstaking efforts of Mr. Hou, and be harmonious and beautiful. It cannot be said that the more arrogant it is, the more arrogant it is. Besides, Mrs. Qiao is invited to come and see that Sister Qiao belongs to Mr. Hou.

Mrs. Qiao wanted to thank her, so she asked Sister Qiao to get well soon and serve the Marquis with all her heart.

Mrs. Qiao's eyes flashed when she heard this, and she glanced at Xu Lingyi quickly.

Xu Lingyi stood there, as straight as a pine tree, but the corners of his slightly curled lips betrayed impatience.

She smiled slightly and bent her knees to salute Eleven Niang: Thank you madam for teaching me, I will remember it. I will definitely ask Lianfang to serve the Marquis wholeheartedly and live in harmony with the sisters.

First serve the marquis with all your heart, and then get along harmoniously with the sisters.

Eleven Niang smiled and said: It's getting late. The Marquis and I have to go to greet the Madam. I have already asked the kitchen to prepare the table. Mrs. Qiao will have dinner here before going back.

Mrs. Qiao thanked her gratefully and respectfully sent Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang out.

Outside the Yuyu Qiong Tower, heavy snow is falling.

Fortunately, the whole way to Mrs. Tai's house was on the corridor, so there was no need to hold an umbrella or wear wooden shoes. Eleven Niang followed Xu Lingyi lightly.

When turning the corner, Xu Lingyi suddenly turned back: Slip carefully.

Eleven Niang lowered her head in astonishment.

The bluestone bricks are cut into fine lines to prevent slipping. The corridor is about half a foot wide to prevent wind and snow from drifting in and making the ground wet.

She looked up again, and Xu Lingyi was already striding forward.

Looking at his retreating back, Eleven Niang did not dare to hesitate and followed him hurriedly.

A ground fire has been lit in the room, which is as warm as spring. The fresh pine and cypress fragrance from the small silver gilded potpourri incense burner floats faintly in the room, adding a warm smell to the room.

Mrs. Tai is leaning on the big ginger brocade pillow on the big kang by the window, smiling and looking at Brother Zhun in front of the kang, who is wearing a bright red engraved gourd pattern and crane cloak, shaking his head and carrying Qiong Lin, a kindergarten student on his back: It is New Year's Day, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Human Day is the seventh lunar month of the Lunar New Year. On the first day of the lunar month, I offer you pepper flowers as a blessing for your longevity; on the first day of the lunar month, I drink the wine of Tusu, which can cure diseases and diseases.

Xu Lingkuan sat under Mrs. Xu, and Xu Lingning sat opposite Xu Lingkuan. Mrs. Wu was wearing a large red embroidered coat with peonies blooming on the sleeves. Because of her pregnancy, she looked very good and sat next to her husband with a rosy face.

The lady stood behind Xu Lingning, with her eldest son Xu Siqin and her younger son Xu Sijian sitting on the brocade tree next to her. Xu Syuyu sat next to Xu Sijian, with a distance of about two feet between them.

He was the first to see his father and stepmother walking in. He immediately stood up and respectfully called father and mother.

Brother Zhen's recitation was interrupted. He turned back to look at Xu Lingyi, and immediately trotted to the Madam's side, grabbed the lapel of the Madam's clothes, and looked at Xu Lingyi nervously.

Everyone else in the room also stood up and saluted Xu Lingyi.

Xu Lingyi nodded towards his eldest son, returned the gifts to his brothers, and sat down opposite the Madam.

The eleventh mother stood next to the fifth lady.

He learned how to memorize Qiong Lin from childhood. He smiled and looked at being held in his grandmother's arms. Brother Zhun, who did he learn from?

Brother Zhen's eyes showed confusion. Mrs. Tai pushed him gently. Your father was asking you something. He came back to his senses and whispered: Grandma taught him. Then he raised his head and secretly looked at Xu Lingyi's expression. Seeing that he had been

With a smile on his face, without the slightest hint of impatience, he added somewhat flatteringly that it was taught by his grandmother. He said that it was time to celebrate the New Year, and he needed to know the rules of the New Year.

Listening to Brother Zhun's sweet reply, Xu Lingyi did not show his usual displeased expression. Instead, he smiled and nodded: Not bad, not bad. I learned some rules from my grandmother.

After hearing this, Brother Zhen pursed his lips and smiled at Sister Zhen, who was sitting next to Mrs. Tai, with a bit of pride in his eyebrows.

Xu Lingyi frowned when she saw that her son couldn't calm down at all. The wife looked bad and smiled quickly: "Why did you come so late today? We are all waiting for you to have dinner. It's easy for others to say, but your fifth brother and sister are pregnant."

Those of you who are sick, you have to go back to the back garden later. It's freezing cold today. If you happen to get into trouble, I'll tie you up and go to Xiao Wu to make it happen.

After hearing this, the fifth lady covered her sleeves and laughed.

Xu Lingkuan stood up with some fear: No, no. He felt that this was inappropriate, so he changed his words, no, I will take good care of Danyang. I will not let the fourth brother she meets not have to accompany me.

The madam burst out laughing when she heard this. Even Xu Lingyi showed a rare smile. Naturally, the others didn't have to hold back and started laughing.

Eleven Niang took the opportunity to look at the three children opposite.

The youngest Xu Sijian grinned stupidly, looking happy from the inside out.

Xu Siyu was also smiling, but his eyes showed indifference and alienation.

Xu Siqin looked at Xu Siyu with a bitter taste in his smile.

This was the second time she discovered that among the children of Xu Siqin's generation, they were the only two who had separate courtyards in the outer courtyard. I heard that their courtyards were next to each other. Xu Siyu was only eleven years old this year. She was

In his previous life, he was often called young and immature at his age, but he still had a good time with the nanny next door, telling her how boring playing the piano was and how unfortunate he was. Will Xu Siyu and Xu Siqin have the same relationship?

Wei Zi, Madam Tai ordered with a smile on her face, "Let's set the meal. Today the third child sent wild duck, and I asked the kitchen to make wild duck hot pot. Let's all have a try."

Xu Lingyi supported the wife, and others gathered around them and went to the banquet place in Dongci Room.

Three tables had been set up in the banquet area, one for the wife and her sons, one for the daughters-in-law, and one for Xu Siqin and his juniors.

Mrs. Tai and Xu Lingyi sat down around them, and several juniors were also served by their wet nurses. The fifth Mrs. was in a special situation, so she apologized, and she was also served by Mother Shi. The third Mrs. and Eleven Niang sat down.

While Wei Zi and Yao Huang were helping Wei Zi and Yao Huang cloth with chopsticks, the Madam smiled and scolded them: "If you show any courtesy at this time, just sit down and have a good meal."

The two of them arranged the dishes for the dowager and a table of young people, and then sat down.

The maid and her mother-in-law began to serve the dishes.

The wife was chatting with her sons: It snowed really early today, it’s only the beginning of November

Xu Lingyi smiled and said: Who says it is not the case? Reports of snow disasters in Shandong, Shaanxi, Hebei and Henan were presented. The emperor is busy discussing the disaster situation in various places with the cabinet these days.

The wife is a Buddhist, so she couldn't help but worry after hearing this: If the snow doesn't stop, people may freeze to death this year.

Mom, should we set up a porridge stall? Xu Lingkuan asked.

Mrs. Tai and Xu Lingning both looked at Xu Lingyi.

Xu Lingyi smiled and said: How you acted in previous years, you will act the same this year.

The wife was a little hesitant: should she discuss it with the Queen?

Everyone in the room fell silent in unison.

Xu Lingyi smiled and said: We went too far and made people feel weird. I will take care of this matter. I'm afraid I will have to ask my mother to help me take care of it.

The madam nodded: That’s it.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Xu Lingning smiled and said: Then I will prepare some rice first. Now that we have opened the porridge shed, we can't let the rice soup shine on people's shadows.

Mrs. Tai smiled and nodded, very satisfied with what Xu Lingning said: prepare early. If the snow continues to fall like this, the road will be very cold and it will be difficult to walk on the road.

Don't worry, mother, I know the depth. Xu Lingning responded respectfully.

Madam Tai slightly chinned her jaw, but Eleven Niang saw that Madam Three sitting opposite her had her eyes rolling.
