Chapter 173 Arriving

Eleven Niang carefully hung the jade pendant on the rhinoceros horn belt, then straightened up and looked at Xu Lingyi, who was wearing red silk official uniform, for a moment, and smiled: Okay

Xu Lingyi nodded: Then I will go to court.

The Marquis was careful all the way. Eleven Niang put on Xu Lingyi's cloak and sent him to the door.

Xu Lingyi hummed and was served by Zhaoying and went out.

Looking at the red lantern that was getting further away, Eleven Niang stood for a while before returning to the house.

The little maids were quietly clearing the dining table, and Amber followed her into the inner room.

Madam, would you like to sleep a little longer?

Unless she is working on the screen these days, I can embroider flowers and take a nap at noon.

Amber responded and moved her flower stand to the kang, sat down to help her divide the lines, and chatted with her.

Liu Yuanrui's family came to see me two days ago. I saw that you were busy, so you didn't say anything.

But for the sake of Da Xian's marriage, the eleventh lady kept asking her questions calmly, but the Wanyi clan refused to let go.

No. Amber smiled and said, the Wanyi clan thought you were going to deal with the disobedient maid, so they never dared to agree. Later, I heard that it was someone close to you who wanted to be released when she reached an age. She was overjoyed and agreed immediately.

I begged the Liu Yuanrui family to marry me. Seeing her like that, I deliberately delayed her to make them anxious.

Eleven Niang couldn’t help laughing: You

Hu Bo covered her mouth and smiled: Liu Yuanrui's family has been coming to report to you. Please tell me when you have time to see her.

Eleven Niang muttered: Just tomorrow. Dongqing will be twenty this year. If it can be decided before the year, it can be done in the spring of next year. It will also prevent her from being stuck in the house like this without being able to go out.

Amber immediately responded with a smile.

Just as Holly came in, Amber couldn't help but look at her and smile.

Holly Fox: What's going on?

The horoscope was still a little short of a stroke, and she was afraid that Holly would be shy, so Eleven Niang said hurriedly: It's okay, it's okay. Then she asked her, have you embroidered the handkerchief I asked you to embroider? Generally, embroidery is about complicated flowers and birds, for beginners.

Afraid of the difficulty, she drew some very simple patterns of flowers and plants to seduce Sister Hui. Since she didn't have time, she asked Dongqing to help embroider them.

Dongqing hurriedly took the handkerchief in the rattan basket and showed it to Eleven Niang.

The embroidery is pretty good

Eleven Niang smiled and put the veil away.

Nanyong's wife is here.

Please give me a high bun. She usually wears a bun casually. There were a lot of things at home the past two days, and the second sister-in-law didn't make it. I will go back to Xishan after breakfast today. I will see her off later.

Nanyong's daughter-in-law responded with a smile, and helped Eleven Niang sit down on the mirror to comb her hair. Eleven Niang changed into a pink jacket and a blue-green heddle skirt, and went to the Madam's house.

The Second Madam's suitcases and cages have been packed and she is saying goodbye to the Dowager Madam.

The Eleventh Mother said hello to the Dowager Madam and bowed to the Second Madam. The Third Madam came and the Fifth Madam came in one after the other. Everyone reminded the Second Madam one by one, asking her to pay attention to safety on the road and to be safe on the road.

If something happened, I would send someone to my house to report it. I would not send the second lady out until it was already over.

These days, the Second Madam has been accompanying the Madam. Once she left, she couldn't help but feel a little bit sad. Fortunately, Xu Siqin, Xu Siyu and Xu Sijian didn't have to go to school. They were having fun in the Madam's room every day. Eleven Niang brought Sister Zhen's son to the house again.

Mrs. Tai was doing needlework there, and the room was very lively. Mrs. Tai's mood soon improved. Looking at the sky, she even asked Mother Du to invite the Fifth Master and the Fifth Mrs. to play leaf cards.

The fifth master made everyone laugh with his continuous laughter.

A boy came running in to look for him: He said he was an old acquaintance of me. He had played the huqin for me when he and Liu Huifang sang in Cuiqinglou.

The fifth master's face changed greatly after hearing this, and he said: "Why is he here? He got up in a hurry. I'll go take a look."

The fifth lady looked thoughtful.

The madam's face darkened: Stop right there

The fifth master's steps faltered upon hearing this, and his face looked a little pale.

Seeing that the New Year was about to come. Mrs. Tai’s eyebrows were stern. What good could these people do to you? Then she told Mother Du to get twenty taels of silver. Then she said to the young man, go tell that person, five taels of silver.

The Lord has a guest and cannot go out to welcome him. These twenty taels of silver should be regarded as the wine that the Fifth Lord invited him to drink.

The boy took the money and left.

The fifth master was a little restless: Mom, I’d better go and take a look.

Why is it that Mrs. Tai looks at the Fifth Master sharply and feels that I don’t give enough?

No, no. Fifth Master said hurriedly, I am afraid that he will make a noise.

Madam, she has a sulky look on her face. Why is he making such a fuss? Could it be that you are hiding something from me?

No, no. A trace of panic flashed in Wu Ye's eyes.

Mother, the fifth lady suddenly smiled and said, the fifth master has always been kind to others, so he took money to beat me like this, presumably because he was afraid that people would think that he was arrogant. He was a little uneasy.

The fifth master nodded quickly after hearing this: Exactly, exactly. I always treat them like brothers.

When the wife heard this, she slapped the floor on the Kang table: Treat them like brothers.

The children who were having fun in the room saw that the situation was not right, so they all stood aside quietly and breathlessly.

The fifth master just can't speak. The fifth wife smiled and pulled the sleeve of the wife. Don't be the same as him. She called the fifth master again, why don't you come to your mother's company?

The fifth master suddenly reacted and stepped forward to accompany his wife.

Looking at her son with a depressed face, the wife's good mood completely disappeared.

She placed a leaf sign: It's getting late, you should go back to the back garden early to avoid slippery roads when it gets late.

After hearing this, the fifth lady got off the kang and put on her shoes, joked with the wife for a few words, and went back to the back garden with the fifth master.

On the way, the fifth lady asked the fifth master: Is there anything you can’t tell your mother? The same goes for me. We husband and wife are of the same mind and we can always come up with a solution.

The fifth master did not speak for a long while, but his brows were furrowed tightly.

After returning to the house, the fifth master was lying on the big kang next to the window, looking very bored.

The fifth lady personally brought hot tea over: Master, come and have a cup of tea.

I don’t want to drink Wuye’s boring drink.

The fifth lady did not force herself and stayed with her to do needlework.

The fifth master kept tossing and turning uneasily.

When it was time to eat, he took a few bites and got up to go find Xu Lingyi: I can't stay at home like this every day.

The Fifth Madam smiled and sent him out the door: Do you want me to come find you later so that the Marquis can scold people endlessly?

The fifth master lowered his head and took the fifth wife's hand: Danyang looked very grateful.

The fifth lady covered her sleeves and smiled: The fifth master and I are husband and wife. If I don’t help the fifth master, who else can help the fifth master?

Fifth Master nodded and urged her: "Go back quickly. It's cold outside."

You carefully nodded to Mrs. Wu on the way, stood at the door and watched Mr. Wu go away.

As if feeling something, Fifth Master turned around and saw his wife's calm face under the red lantern at the door from a distance. He smiled and waved: Come in quickly.

The fifth lady smiled and waved to him, and then returned to the yard until her husband was no longer visible.

Mother Shi immediately stepped forward and helped the fifth lady get on the kang.

How can I find out?

After checking it out, Mother Shi said in a low voice that the person was Liu Huifang, who came from a Liyuan family. Two uncles and a cousin were also famous actors in Yanjing. However, this person had bad conduct and liked to drink. Three years ago, he lost his voice.

If you drink it, you will never be able to sing on stage again from now on.

The fifth lady frowned as she listened: Then what is the fifth master afraid of?

Listening to the meaning in his words, the fifth master was generous and face-saving. Mother Shi said slowly and honestly, thinking that no one else could ask for it, so she had to ask the fifth master.

It's that simple, but the fifth lady doesn't believe it, and doesn't want to think about the dirty things.

Mother Shi didn't understand, so she simply said: I'm not that kind of person. Otherwise, why would the longevity class give the little begonia to the third young master of the Zhongshan Hou Mansion? Besides, I see Liu Huifang's current appearance, full of beard and fat.

Where can I still see the slightest bit of the style from back then?

What do you know? The fifth lady was worried. If Liu Huifang becomes like this and still worries me, it will be more worrying than accepting Little Begonia.

As long as she doesn't take it to heart, the fifth lady doesn't care at all about her husband's mischief.

Then, I'll go find out more.

The fifth lady nodded.

Xu Lingyi was talking to Eleven Niang over there: I said I have foot paralysis, and the weather this year is colder than in previous years. The pain is really severe, and I want to resign as the Governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.

What did the emperor say? Eleven Niang asked nervously.

The emperor disagreed. Xu Lingyi smiled bitterly and asked me if it was because of the fifth prince.

What do you say?
