Chapter 145: Friends
There was something in Aunt Wen's words that surprised Eleven Niang.
Not mentioning the Xu and Wen families, but mentioning the Luo and Wen families. I thought about the first time I met Yuanniang. Yuanniang asked Wu Xiaoquan to go to Yangzhou to visit the Wen family. She also said that the Wen family would definitely treat him with courtesy. She also thought about the reconciliation that day.
, Yuan Niang made a lot of money in the last five or six years. Although she didn't lose money before, she didn't make as much profit as she did later. Besides, looking at Lu Yonggui's age, he was only in his teens when he came as a dowry, and he didn't have a left shoulder or a right arm.
, how could we achieve today's climate? At that time, the Xu family couldn't take care of themselves, and even if they had the power to help, it was limited. Thinking about Yuan Niang's attitude towards the Wen family, Eleven Niang vaguely remembered Yuan Niang's passing through the Wen family in the past few years.
The idea of making a lot of money.
She and Yuanniang had different ideas.
Gentlemen love fortune, in a proper way.
If he wanted to make money from the Wen family, how could he speak upright in front of Aunt Wen?
Eleven Niang smiled and sipped her tea and said: I am indeed very busy these days. Wen San kindly accepts it. Let's meet again when we have the opportunity.
She clearly rejected Aunt Wen.
Aunt Wen's face turned a little pale when she heard this, and she smiled reluctantly and said: Sister, Grandma Wen San wants to see you because she brought you a gift from Yangzhou.
Eleven Niang smiled and called Hu Hu: See the guests off. I have to go to the Madam to say hello.
Aunt Wen's face suddenly became very embarrassed, but she still said with a smile: Sister, the rubies and lapis lazuli brought by the third master of the Wen family from the West, each one is the size of a pigeon egg, and there are several pairs of three-foot-high corals.
It reminds Eleven Niang of those excellent salespeople who never give up their efforts until the end.
But she knows something better.
The mouth that eats people is short, and the hands that take people are short.
She stood up and entered the inner room without any hesitation.
Amber just pretended not to see it, smiled and said to Aunt Wen: Auntie, it's getting late, I'll send a little maid to take you back.
Aunt Wen stood there, looking at Eleven Niang's back quietly, frowning slightly, bending her knees and bowing before retreating.
Amber sent her to the east corner gate and turned back.
Qiu Hong helped Aunt Wen go to her room.
I met Xiu Citron on the road. She was smiling like a flower, and she was standing at the door of her house with Mrs. Lu, muttering. When she saw Aunt Wen, she nodded from a distance and continued talking to Mrs. Lu.
Qiu Hong's expression changed when she saw it, and she said: Aunt, this Aunt Qiao is too big.
Aunt Wen smiled nonchalantly and said: She is Canada, what can we do? I heard that the Marquis rested in her room again yesterday.
Qiu Hong bit her lip after hearing this: Auntie, while the third master is in Beijing this time, why not send two Yangzhou thin horses?
After hearing this, Aunt Wen smiled bitterly: Instead of sending a thin horse from Yangzhou, it would be better to persuade the third uncle to stop his nails from being so deep. I'm afraid it would be more effective.
While talking, the two of them entered their yard.
There are three main rooms with wing rooms, and there is only one wing room on the east side. There is a rockery made of Taihu stone in the middle, and a row of holly trees in the corner of the yard. The yard is quiet, there is no little maid standing in front of the door opening the curtain, and there is only one person who answers the door.
Mother.
When the mother saw Aunt Wen, her face immediately burst into laughter: Aunt Wen is back
Aunt Wen nodded expressionlessly and entered the west room of the main room. Another maid, Dong Hong, was doing needlework when she heard the movement and rushed to greet her.
After taking off her cloak, Aunt Wen leaned on the big pillow with a solemn expression.
Dong Hong saw that her expression was wrong, so she carefully changed her shoes and brought her hot water to clean her face.
Aunt Wen's expression was always in a daze. When she was cleaning her face, she asked Qiuhong: "Second Manager Wen is still waiting in the concierge."
Qiu Hong put away her cloak and whispered: She should still be waiting for news from her aunt.
Aunt Wen stayed for a while and then told Dong Hong: Go and tell the second manager Wen that today my wife has to serve the concubine and she will not be free. Let him go back first and wait for my news.
Donghong responded and left.
Qiuhong brought hot tea and whispered: Auntie, if Madam never changes her mind,
Let’s wait for a few days first. Maybe things will turn around in the next few days.
Qiu Hong listened but hesitated to speak.
Aunt Wen smiled and said: You damn maid, what can't you say? Then she said, is there something at home that needs to be borrowed? Your aunt has nothing but money. How much money does it cost, but her tone can't help but feel a little disappointed.
.
Qiu Hong said angrily: When did I say that there was something wrong at home? As she said that, the corners of her eyes got wet. I felt uncomfortable seeing you working so hard but not being pleased by both sides. She took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, and said,
The money in your hand is enough for you to spend a lifetime. I think you might as well pretend to be deaf and mute and enjoy your happiness.
There is no happiness in this world. Aunt Wen smiled helplessly and said, "You think I don't want to. But I have to have that life. I can let these ladies, maids, and mothers-in-law take another look at the Xu family. After all,
, it’s just a few money. Without the Wen family, this money is dead. It can’t be moved at home, and it can only support the situation for a few years. With the Wen family, this money is alive.
Money can beget money, so we have gold and silver. Regardless of the Wen family's affairs, if we don't rely on the Wen family, can't I rely on the Marquis?
Qiuhong was speechless.
Ever since my aunt helped the family win the weaving business of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Marquis and my aunt had become estranged. But compared to the Wen family, she felt that relying on the Marquis was more reasonable. After all, my aunt is now a concubine of the Xu family.
room.
She advised Aunt Wen: Seeing that Sister Zhen is getting married in two years, she has not yet kissed your maid.
Aunt Wen's eyes were a little straightened as she listened.
In the past, Sister Zhen was raised by her side. She told Sister Zhen the six-six formula to memorize the abacus, but the Madam heard it. The Madam immediately left Sister Zhen in her room and never let her go again.
When she came back, Sister Zhen was only one and a half years old.
She couldn't help but lower her voice: I know, it doesn't matter. As long as she lives a good life and can please the wife, she will find a suitable husband to marry in the future. It has nothing to do with whether I kiss or not. Besides, I
How can a person who is someone's aunt have any dignity? We all went our separate ways and got along well. There was a glimmer of water in the corners of our eyes.
The sons and daughters of the Wen family can speak and recite six or six formulas. Although Sister Zhen is the eldest daughter of the Marquis, she always has to eat all kinds of food. After learning some accounting skills, she will be able to manage the house with twice the result with half the effort. She is the second wife.
, he can calculate the accounts faster than the housekeeper who has been an old steward for decades. Only then can those people be restrained. Only when the Marquis is away can the stewards at home dare not have any random thoughts. She doesn't understand.
Well, what's wrong with her teaching Sister Zhen the formula? In the final analysis, it's just that she doesn't think she comes from a humble background and is not worthy of being the biological mother of Miss Yongping Marquis, but she didn't marry into the Xu family voluntarily.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but close her eyes.
A drop of crystal teardrop fell from the snow-white cheek.
When Eleven Niang saw the folded amber, she breathed a sigh of relief: Aunt Wen has been sent away.
Amber covered her mouth and smiled: I think your attitude just now was very firm.
For someone like Aunt Wen, if you hesitate for even a moment, she will immediately become arrogant and may even follow her into the inner room. How can I still ask the rough lady to beat her out?
Amber laughed softly after hearing this.
By the way, have you sent someone to report Wan Daxian's matter?
Went. Amber smiled and said, that Rubik's Cube you asked me to make yesterday, I also gave the drawing to Manager Bai.
Eleven Niang said with a smile: When I was a child, I had never been able to turn over all six sides. After saying that, she blinked, and this time she also embarrassed others.
Seeing that she was in a good mood, Amber felt happy too. He stepped forward to help her change some clothes, and took Lu Yun to accompany Eleven Niang to the Madam's house.
Wei Zi winked at Amber.
Amber slightly chin, sent Eleven Niang into the house, and went to the side room. The maids like them, if they have nothing to do, can't just go in to see the madam.
Qiu Ling, who was beside the third lady, was also there, and Amber affectionately called Qiu Ling sister.
Qiu Ling smiled and nodded at her, but there was no normal smile on her face, and she looked thoughtful.
Hu Bo was worried about what Wei Zi wanted to do with her, so she made a vague confession to Qiu Ling, and then ran to the hand-painted verandah where the bird cages were hanging to feed the birds with the little maid.
After a while, Wei Zi came out and said with a smile: "What are you doing here? It's so cold. Be careful of freezing. If this Chinese New Year guy gets sick and is sent to another hospital to rest, your wife will be in a hurry."
After hearing this, Hu Bo took Wei Zi's arm and said with a smile: Sister Wei Zi is so attentive, no wonder the wife can't leave her sister for a moment.
The two of them said that and went to the penthouse.
Wei Zi whispered: The second lady asked her manager to send a letter, saying that she would serve as a follower to the second young master. The letter is still in the hands of Manager Bai.
Hu Bo was shocked after hearing this, but she didn't dare to show any of her face. She was afraid that Wei Zi would see it and thought that Eleven Niang couldn't tolerate the second young master. But she couldn't help but thank her for her kindness. She just smiled and said: Thank you, sister Wei Zi. I will
I'll tell our wife when I get back.
After a few words, the two of them arrived at the door of the penthouse. Amber went to the penthouse, and Wei Zi took the hot tea from the little maid and entered the house.
The fourth lady was talking to the dowager: I have nothing to do. I eat and sleep every day, and eat after I sleep. It’s good to be able to help the third sister-in-law. It’s just that I am stupid. If I do something wrong, I would like to ask the third sister-in-law to give me some advice.
After saying that, he stood up and blessed the third lady.
The third lady brought the fourth lady up with a smile on her face: I am more than ten years older than my fourth younger brother and sister, so I treat you as my niece. Don’t worry, I will teach you in detail. No.
What will happen
The fourth lady smiled and thanked the third lady.
Wei Zi took the opportunity to change the tea again.
But she was muttering in her heart: What happened to the third lady? She suddenly asked the fourth lady to help the housekeeper. Didn't she hate others interfering in her affairs the most?
