Chapter 172 Arrival
After leaving the palace and getting on the carriage, the Dowager said in a low voice: What did the Queen say to you?
Eleven Niang succinctly told Mrs. Tai about the conversation between the two: With such a big matter, Madam will inevitably feel hesitant from time to time. Please don’t blame me for making my own decisions.
She looked at the madam with some uneasiness.
The madam sighed and clapped her hand: What you said is very good. Just remember, you will make mistakes if you talk too much. Don't take such risks again in the future.
After all, he was only fourteen years old, and he had convinced the Queen in one move. He would inevitably feel arrogant in his heart, which would be bad for her in the future.
Seeing that Mrs. Tai didn't blame her, Eleven Niang breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, I did this without my consent.
After thinking about it, the car had already arrived in front of the Chuihua Gate of Xu Mansion. The two of them changed into a small oil truck with green curtains and went to the Madam's place. The Third Master, the Fifth Master, the Second Madam, the Third Madam and the Fifth Madam were already waiting. When they saw the two people, they gathered around them one after another.
The third lady in front asked even more anxiously: How is the Queen?
Mrs. Tai didn't answer the question and said, "Let's all sit down and talk." Then she said to Eleven Niang, "You should also go back and change some clothes." Then Madam Du helped her into the inner room to change clothes.
Everyone looked at Eleven Niang.
The madam did not speak, how could she have the right to say anything.
At this moment, she was very grateful to the madam for letting her go back to the house and change clothes to avoid being surrounded by these people asking about the situation.
Eleven Niang congratulated the people in the house and turned around to go back to her house.
Unexpectedly, Xu Lingyi was waiting for her in the house.
She immediately told Xu Lingyi briefly about her visit to the palace.
Xu Lingyi raised his eyebrows after hearing this: You are so brave. You dare to say that I will do whatever the Queen Mother tells me to do. If she really asked me to kill the Queen Mother, could I really kill her?
Brothers working together are as strong as gold. The Xu family has a brave second wife, a smart fifth wife, and a calm and loyal third master. Now they have solved the Queen's heart problem. If everyone can work together, even if
There are storms and storms, but I believe the Xu Mansion can weather the storm.
Eleven Niang is in a good mood.
You all know it, doesn’t Xu Lingyi still know?
She felt that Xu Lingyi should be in a good mood. She was probably joking with her when she said this. So she smiled brightly: Mr. Marquis is a civilized military officer and a righteous man. I don't think this little thing will trouble you.
Xu Lingyi was startled when he heard this, and then burst into laughter.
This guy is really scary when he has a straight face.
Fortunately, I was not frightened.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.
Go and change quickly. Xu Lingyi looked at his wife with a smile in his eyes, so that we can go to mother's place together.
The eleventh mother was blessed and went to the clean room with Bin Ju to serve her. After cleaning up, she and Xu Lingyi went to the dowager's house.
Mrs. Tai had just left the clean room and was being served by the third lady to drink tea. When she saw two people coming in, she asked the little maid to add two chairs. Everyone sat down again according to their age. The little maid served Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang tea.
The madam then said: Don't worry, everyone, the Queen just caught the cold occasionally. She is fine now.
The people present were all human beings, and no one believed it. Instead, they all showed a bit of nervousness on their faces.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but sigh slightly.
The second lady smiled and stood up after hearing this: My mother went to the palace early in the morning to see the Queen, and she must be tired. Since the Queen is fine, let's leave.
The madam nodded slightly.
The third lady looked at her with a look of eagerness on her brows. She quickly winked at the third master opposite. The third master frowned slightly and turned his face away. Looking at the others, they all stood up.
She gritted her teeth and said loudly: Wait a minute.
Everyone in the room looked at the third lady in surprise.
The third master shook his head towards the third lady.
The third lady could see it clearly, but everyone's eyes were on her, and she had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: Mom, brother Jian will be twelve years old in the new year. I wonder if I want to go out.
When the hospital opened a separate courtyard for him, he looked at the wife timidly. Back then, brother Jian had chickenpox, and I felt sorry for him, so I kept him for a year. Now that he is getting older, there is sister Zhen in the inner courtyard.
.It won’t be good if you stay any longer.
The madam muttered: You are right. Brother Jian is not young anymore. He should open a separate courtyard.
The third lady couldn't help but turn pale when she heard this.
What happened during this period, although no one told her explicitly, she vaguely guessed it. Today, the wife entered the palace, and she took this opportunity to go back to her parents' home and talk to her sister-in-law about the family affairs.
, the sister-in-law told her a lot of things. She became more aware of the Xu family's current predicament. She originally wanted to wait and see, but now it seems that she can't wait any longer. The third lady obviously proposed that Xu Sijian open the hospital alone.
Actually, I am asking the third master whether he can still be released outside. If he can be released outside in the spring, there will naturally be no need to mobilize a lot of effort to build another yard for Xu Sijian in the outer courtyard. If he cannot be released outside, at Xu Sijian's age, he will definitely not be able to do so again.
Stay in the inner courtyard.
It's very inappropriate to ask such a question at this time.
With a flash of thought, Eleven Niang understood what the third lady meant.
She hurriedly and secretly pulled Xu Lingyi's clothes.
When Xu Lingyi heard what the Third Madam said, he somewhat understood what she meant. However, the Madam was talking to her and he couldn't interrupt. At this moment, Eleven Niang pulled his sleeves, and he couldn't help but smile in his heart.
Eleven Niang seems to be getting smarter and smarter
As he thought, he grabbed the hand holding the corner of his clothes with his back arm.
Eleven Niang was very surprised and then very embarrassed.
what does he mean
What would happen if the madam saw it?
He was busy struggling to withdraw his hand.
But he held it tightly and couldn't pull it back even after several times. Just when he was in a hurry, he heard Xu Lingyi's calm voice: Mom, I think we can discuss this matter when the time comes. It looks like the Chinese New Year is coming, and there are so many things to do.
And complicated.
Hearing Xu Lingyi speak, everyone looked over.
When Eleven Niang saw her, she smiled and stood dignifiedly behind Xu Lingyi, letting him hold her hand.
Xu Lingyi's words were undoubtedly telling them that there was still hope for this matter.
The third master and the third lady's eyes lit up when they heard this, and the third lady immediately smiled: "The Marquis said so, then we will listen to the Marquis."
Xu Lingyi smiled slightly, quickly released Eleven Niang's hand, then dusted off his clothes, and lightly told Eleven Niang: Let's go back first, so that Mom can rest early. With that, she walked out.
Eleven Niang hurriedly blessed the people in the room and hurriedly followed them.
Along the way, Xu Lingyi's face was stern. Eleven Niang couldn't help but wonder if everything just happened was her illusion. However, she didn't notice the corners of Xu Lingyi's mouth slightly raised when she wasn't paying attention.
Because everyone was eating in their own rooms, after the meal, Xu Siyu and Brother Zhun came to salute Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang. Just as three aunts came to say hello, everyone sat down around Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang. Xu Lingyi took the exam just like last time.
Xu Siyu's homework, Xu Lingyi was very happy to know that he had been studying continuously since his master closed the school during the Laba Festival.
Just take a rest these days and talk to grandma.
Xu Siyu responded respectfully.
Xu Lingyi's eyes fell on Brother Chen.
Brother Zhen shrank and moved towards Eleven Niang.
Xu Lingyi looked at it and sighed, helplessly saying: It's getting late, let's all disperse.
The three aunts and Xu Siyu asked Sister Zhen and her son, Brother Zhun, to bow their knees and bow, and then went back to their rooms.
Eleven Niang told Xu Lingyi that Brother Chen plays shuttlecock and skips rope with the little maid every day: He has been suffering from deficiencies since he was a child. When he moves like this, his body bones gradually become stronger. Although it is said that the cultivation of knowledge is very important for a gentleman to establish a world, but
Good health is more important. Some things cannot be rushed. When I find a husband next year to enlighten him, things will gradually get better.
That's all it can do, Xu Lingyi smiled bitterly.
Eleven Niang asked him: Did the Marquis wash up at my place or go over there to wash up?
According to the day, he should rest at Aunt Wen's place.
Xu Lingyi said: I will rest here today.
With so many things going on at home and outside, he was obviously not in the mood. He should have rested at Aunt Qin's place a few days ago. He went there once and rested here the other days. Besides, she also went to the palace to see the Queen today. She should have something to say.
Say it to yourself.
Eleven Niang asked someone to tell Aunt Wen that the Marquis had something to do today and would not be able to go there. Then she made the bed and served Xu Lingyi to get into bed.
Xu Lingyi first asked the Queen about her mood in detail. Knowing that the Queen was much better, he sighed slightly.
Maybe he heard that the Queen had called her aside by asking her about taking medicine, and then asked about her taking medicine during this period.
Dr. Liu said that it would take several months to take it for effect, but I didn’t feel much for a while.
Xu Lingyi told her: You must take the medicine carefully as Liu Yizheng said, and you must not be careless.
