That's good. Eleven Niang said with a smile, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and my aunt should get better soon. Then the Marquis will be happy to see her.

Qiao Lianfang smiled slightly, her face like a peach blossom in March.

The two of them walked forward, and Eleven Niang smiled and said: Do you want to find another imperial doctor?

Let the imperial doctor take some decoction and take the opportunity to recover.

Qiao Lianfang shook her head and said with a smile: No need. Doctor Zhang is just fine.

Eleven Niang sighed in her heart.

The opportunity has been given by myself

She smiled faintly: Mrs. Qiao hasn't come to see you for a long time, why not send someone to ask Mrs. Qiao to come and see you. With her by your side, you will feel better. Maybe your illness will be cured.

There was a flash of surprise in Aunt Qiao's eyes, but Eleven Niang's words hit her right in the heart of missing her mother day and night, so she smiled and thanked Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang told Hu Hui next to her: Go make arrangements and pick up Mrs. Qiao to come over to talk to her tomorrow.

Amber hurriedly responded with a congratulation.

The group returned to the courtyard.

As soon as Eleven Niang returned to her upper room, Aunt Wen came to ask for an audience.

She thought for a while and asked the little maid to bring Aunt Wen in.

Aunt Wen's face was full of smiles. She praised Eleven Niang diligently as soon as she entered the door. She had never seen such words in her life such as the Marquis asked his aunts to see him off together when he was leaving.

Eleven Niang thought that when she first started looking for customers, she always kept her smiling face everywhere, so she simply said bluntly: Auntie, it is not convenient for me to see Grandma Wen San.

Aunt Wen's smile was fixed on her face: At least for my sake, you can see me.

Eleven Niang asked someone to bring a small spoon and put it beside the Kang, and said: Auntie, I am the daughter-in-law of the Xu family and the daughter of the Luo family. I don’t know your situation. I am stupid and have stupid ideas. I think that being someone else’s daughter-in-law is not a good idea.

It's the same as being a courtier. The temple is like your husband's family, and the clan is like your mother's family. Only by being loyal to the court wholeheartedly and contributing to the country can you have high-ranking officials and enjoy generous salaries, be respected by the world, and have a glorious family name and a wife. In the same way, doing

A daughter-in-law protects her husband's family wholeheartedly, knows how to be filial to her parents-in-law, treats her brothers and sisters-in-law well, and educates her children, so that she can gain the respect of her husband's family. Her husband's family does not dare to neglect her daughter-in-law, so naturally they will not dare to neglect her daughter-in-law's family. Auntie, think about it, I

That makes sense

Aunt Wen was stunned when she heard this. She said: But I am not someone’s daughter-in-law.

Then we should be strict with ourselves and follow the rules. Eleven Niang said with a smile, the same rice can support all kinds of people. They are also maids, but they are also divided into three, six or nine grades; they are also daughters-in-law, and mother-in-laws also treat each other with intimacy. This can be

It didn't fall from the sky, it all depends on personal creation.

Aunt Wen lowered her eyelids and didn't speak for a while.

You can't become fat by eating in one go.

When the eleventh mother saw Nanyong's daughter-in-law coming in, she knew that it was already Maozheng. Later she would go to Mrs. Tai's place to say hello and beat her: "Auntie, go back and think about what I said."

Aunt Wen stood up to say goodbye, her eyes dim.

Back in the house, Qiu Hong whispered: Madam, what do you mean? If she doesn't beat Aunt Qiao, how can she talk about us?

Aunt Wen was deeply touched by Eleven Niang's words. She was not interested in what happened to Qiao Lianfang at all. Could it be that if she fell out of favor, she could replace her? Anyway, if one Qiao Lianfang was suppressed, I don't know how many Qiao Lianfang were ahead.

Wait. Moreover, the more high-profile Qiao Lianfang is, the better it will be for her. Eleven Niang will definitely win over these aunts who have given birth to children, and their lives will only be better.

Aunt Wen told Qiu Hong exactly what Eleven Niang said: She is the official wife, and it doesn’t hurt to stand and talk. If I were sitting in her position and thinking as clearly as she does, this home belongs to me anyway.

Gains and losses are like doing business. If you lose money today, you will earn it back tomorrow. When you calculate the accounts, you will always make more when you make more, and you will lose less when you lose. Think back to the beginning, without Luo Yuanniang, would our business have been successful, Mr. Hou?

Knowing that, so what, why not defend Luo Yuanniang, treating me as a thorn in the side, a thorn in the flesh. She felt that I was the one who made the family uneasy. She didn't even think about it, I was the one who drank the soup, and she, Luo Yuanniang, had to drink it willingly to make the situation a success.

If anything goes wrong, it’s not me who takes the blame. In the final analysis, it’s just because Luo Yuanniang is the wife and I am the concubine. I have devoted my whole heart to the Xu family, and I’m afraid I’ve already drunk the northwest wind.

After hearing this, Qiu Hong hesitated and said: "Well, what should we do? Luo Yuanniang was there before, but now that Luo Yuanniang is gone, the Marquis is in trouble. The Xu family has no relatives doing business. If someone says that it is a relative of the Xu family who has found the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it will all be wrong."

The person who pretended to be an official's family member was sent directly to jail without saying anything to him. With the heavy snow this year, the cotton business must be a huge profit. At least one hundred and seventy-eight thousand taels of silver can be found. The third lady is a small-eyed person, does she have any thief intentions?

How brave. The fifth lady’s fingernails were too deep, she didn’t invest a penny, she even asked for a 46-month bill. Without Luo Yuanniang’s relationship, we can only watch the cooked duck fly away.

Who said it wasn’t Aunt Wen who was looking at the spreading snowflakes, and I saw that what was falling in the sky was not snow, but all money. But we didn’t have the ability to get this money into our own hands. You don’t know, I feel heartbroken just thinking about it.

Yes, I can't even sleep.

While she was talking, Qiu Hong had already served hot tea to Aunt Wen: "According to your tone, our new fourth lady will become a virtuous and virtuous person."

I don't care whether she is a good person or not. Aunt Wen frowned. If the third grandma cannot see her when she comes to Beijing this time, I am afraid that the 200,000 taels of silver that the Wen family gives us every year will not be so smoothly obtained by then.

This is the big problem.

No way, Qiu Hong said hesitantly, "Speaking of which, you have done a lot for the Wen family. If it weren't for you, how could the Wen family's rice be exchanged for salt so smoothly and at a one-to-one exchange rate? It's a lot."

Zhou Wen's family is the first one. How much money have you made for them?

That's why you give me a bonus of 200,000 taels of silver every year. Aunt Wen sighed helplessly, "Do you think there is such a thing as pie in the world?" She said, stroking her forehead. It's really a headache.

At worst, we don’t need these two hundred thousand taels of silver. Qiu Hong said, I don’t believe it, they won’t have any use for us.

What do you know? Aunt Wen smiled bitterly, we failed to do what we were asked to do. What does this mean? This means that I don’t have the right to speak in the Xu family like before. A person without the right to speak is equivalent to the Wen family.

Abandoned son. Your father was originally my nanny, and you grew up in front of me. I never took you for granted and never hid anything from you. Let me tell you the truth. Good morning, Mrs. Wen San.

Over the past few years, I have selected two or three girls from the family and kept them by my side, just for this day, when I am old and lustful and have lost my dignity in front of the Marquis. You think the Wen family has to be me. This is also true.

The reason why I have to find a way to let Grandma Wen San see Eleven Niang. I'm afraid that she will be too worried and think that I'm blocking her from letting her go in. When something happens to the Wen family, I will be the eternal one.

Sinner. I can't afford this reputation.

Qiu Hong was dumbfounded.

Aunt Wen looked at her and smiled self-deprecatingly: Everyone knew that the Yangzhou Wen family sent their eldest daughter to be a concubine in the Yongping Marquis Mansion. I don’t know how many people secretly envy her, and I don’t know how many people also want to take this path.

.It's just that the Marquis doesn't move around if he's not familiar with him, and he doesn't go in or out of the Qin Tower and the Chu Palace. He doesn't have any young and beautiful concubines at home, so everyone can't figure out his temper. Luo Yuanniang is worried about her heirs and is afraid of the outside world.

She couldn't support her family, and giving birth to a son ruined her business. She only found a roommate for the Marquis among her personal maids, and she always pretended not to understand this kind of thing. That's why no one wanted to have a relationship with her unscrupulously.

Otherwise, how could Mr. Wen be willing to give me two hundred thousand taels every year?

Speaking of which, I admire my grandfather the most. If it weren’t for him, how would the Wen family be today?

Back then, the Xu family was just the eldest son of a prince. Today, the emperor is thousands of miles away from the throne, let alone the throne. No one expected that the emperor would inherit the throne. Who would have expected that one day the eldest aunt of the Xu family would become a wife?

The empress also gave birth to the eldest prince, the third prince and the fifth prince. If the second master of the Xu family had not died in January and Luo Yuanniang had another miscarriage in the spring, the old man would not have been so depressed that he fell ill. If the old man had not been terminally ill,

The Xu family would not be in a hurry to take a concubine for the Marquis and stop taking the medicine for his wife. If it were not for the rush, the Wen family would have sent me here, and I would not have been able to come in. Sometimes I think about it, this is fate,

There was a hint of sadness in his voice.

Qiu Hong grew up in the Xu Mansion and had vaguely heard of these things. Now that Aunt Wen told her bluntly, she didn't know what to say. After a long while, she said calmly: Let's look for another opportunity. Maybe in a few days

There's a turning point in the sky

After listening to this, Aunt Wen pondered for a long time and asked Qiu Hong softly: I remember that Eleven Niang has a sister named Wu Niang. It seems that she opened a dried fruit shop on West Street. The shop was rented by Shun Wang. It opened on the same day.

I also went to have a cup of tea. You can think of a way and we can start a relationship with her. I don’t believe that she, Luo Shiniang, is just a concubine. She doesn’t show off when she has the opportunity to show off in front of her parents’ family. How can she really see it?

Gain fame, wealth and honor

Qiu Hong's eyes flashed as she listened: Auntie is very clever. I heard that Wu Niang married a poor man and lived entirely on her dowry. Otherwise, how could she, a girl from an official family, be so anxious to open a shop?

Business: The winter will be long this year, so her dried fruit shop will definitely not be doing well.

Yongnan's daughter-in-law carefully put the red gold hairpin of Chang'e flying to the moon on Eleven Niang, and then put away the comb.

Eleven Niang looked at herself in the mirror.

A moon-white silk jacket, a rose-purple garter jacket with large pink peonies embroidered on the corners and cuffs, a dark-green heddle skirt with rose-purple ruffles, and a bright headband,

Although she looks dignified and gorgeous, she is three or four years older than her actual age.

However, this is exactly the effect she wanted.

After all, she appears as a mother, so those delicate things should be left to Sister Zhen.

Eleven Niang took Luyun and Hongxiu to Mrs. Tai's place.

Sister Zhen wears a white silk jacket and apricot-yellow plain jacket with a narrow cloud pattern embroidered with gold thread on the edges. She wears a white silk skirt, her black hair is tied up, and she wears two beads.

Hua. On her wrist, she is also wearing a pearl bracelet given by Eleven Niang.

The madam was taking her and looking her up and down. When she saw Eleven Niang coming in, she hurriedly waved to her: What do you think?
