Chapter 216 Under the First Moon

After the imperial concubine brought her wife-in-law to congratulate the Queen on the New Year, then came the princess, and finally the wife-in-law.

When the attendant came out of Kunning Palace, it was already noon.

They are all acquaintances, and they often greet each other warmly and congratulate each other, and make appointments to pay New Year greetings.

When the wife agreed to one family, she didn't care about that family, and when she agreed to that family, she didn't care about this one. She just said she was in a bad mood and turned them down.

When everyone thought about what happened to the Xu family in the past few days, they all showed understanding expressions and comforted the Dowager, either euphemistically or directly. Several people from the princess's curtain came out of the palace gate, and everyone came up to say hello.

In the midst of the laughter and chatter, Eleven Niang saw Madam Wang, the mother-in-law of Eleven Niang, heading towards the east gate alone.

Feeling someone looking at her, she turned around.

Seeing that it was Eleven Niang, she smiled and nodded, but her expression looked a little reluctant.

I didn't see him before, but now that I have met him, I should go over and say hello.

Mother, I will go over and bow to Mrs. Wang. The Eleventh Mother whispered to the wife who was talking to the eldest princess.

Mrs. Tai nodded and continued talking to the eldest princess: "I can't accept it if I don't agree. Yesterday, Xiao Wu set off fireworks and fell asleep halfway through the scene."

The eldest princess nodded: No. So you will come too when the time comes. We old sisters will get together. Drink some golden stem dew and listen to a little tune.

The eleven girls were enjoying themselves, so they didn't notice themselves and walked quietly to Mrs. Wang's place.

Who would have thought that as soon as she took two steps, Mrs. Zhou who was following behind the eldest princess pulled her sleeves: My mother-in-law invites your mother-in-law to come over for a drink on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Come too. At this time, your third sister-in-law is in charge. I will introduce

How many people do you know?

Those who can associate with the eldest princess's family are either rich or noble, and all women in this era are wives and husbands. Although they seem to be in ordinary relationships, they often reveal unusual information. Although Mr. Zhou and Xu Lingyi are young, Zhou

Madam's familiarity with people made Eleven Niang not very reassured.

She smiled and said: How can I be the master? It all depends on what my mother wants and what the Marquis wants.

Mrs. Zhou smiled slyly: As long as you agree, the rest will be fine, I will find a way

Mrs. Zhou was born in a family of ministers and married a princess. Although she was warm and considerate towards others, she was a bit unscrupulous in her heart. She was afraid that Mrs. Zhou would say something that would be misunderstood and make the wife think that she wanted to break into Mrs. Zhou's circle.

Go inside.

See what Sister Zhou said. Eleven Niang said with a smile, my mother-in-law is not an unreasonable person, I just want to ask if there are any other arrangements. You know, our Marquis's foot paralysis has not been completely cured.

Woolen cloth

Yes, yes, yes. Mrs. Zhou covered her mouth and smiled as she listened, showing a tacit smile that everyone knew. Then remember to give me your permission in advance so that I can make arrangements.

Eleven Niang responded, but when she raised her head again, Mrs. Wang's shadow was nowhere to be seen.

Who are you looking for? She saw her looking around, and Mrs. Zhou also followed her gaze. She happened to see the two sisters-in-law, Jianning Hou and Shouchang Bo, following the servants to the direction of Cining Palace. She smiled and said: The Yang family is here

The two ladies are really filial. It is said that every month when the sun goes against the sun, they go to the palace to visit the Queen Mother. They also teased the eleventh mother, speaking of which, you are far behind. Not as good as your second sister-in-law. She used to be three years apart.

Cha Wu went into the palace to talk to the Queen. You arrived and disappeared.

Eleven Niang had no choice but to remain unchanged in response to all changes: Don’t I still have to take care of Mr. Hou?

But I felt a little uneasy in my heart. Speaking of which, Maoguo Duke's mansion is also a family of public ministers, so why does it seem like it doesn't interact with many people.

Strange, she murmured, Mrs. Wang from Maoguo Duke's Mansion was still here just now, why did she disappear in the blink of an eye?

What's so strange? Mrs. Zhou whispered, since what happened to Wang Lang, how could Mrs. Wang still have the nerve to be intimate with everyone? Naturally, she wanted to leave early before she finished talking, thinking that Wang Lang was the eleventh mother-in-law.

, smiled awkwardly, and said hurriedly, you are celebrating the Chinese New Year, remember to go back and ask us what we are talking about, and let me know as soon as possible.

Everyone said something bad about Wang Lang and asked why he was so bad. They were all vague. It was rare to meet a person as cheerful as Mrs. Zhou. Eleven Niang pulled her sleeve and said curiously: Sister Zhou

, what happened to my brother-in-law?

Mrs. Zhou laughed: It’s nothing, it’s just that I don’t like him.

Yanjing is a place as big as a palm, and Mrs. Zhou is a member of the aristocracy of Yanjing who was born and raised here. Among the people she knows, I am afraid that no one is more familiar with the rumors of the families of various ministers than her. What happened to the Wang family in the past

He couldn't hide it from her, and I'm afraid he couldn't hide it from him now.

Eleven Niang figured it out, and simply took her a few steps towards the palace wall: Sister Zhou is not an outsider, let me tell you the truth. One of my sister's personal maids is pregnant. Her words angered her brother-in-law, and he kicked her

Add it up, the child is gone too

This was half true and half false, but Mrs. Zhou had no doubt at all. She raised her eyebrows and showed a bit of anger on her face: The guy said, hesitated for a moment, and said, you have just come to Yanjing, and there are some things you don’t know.

If you stay here for a long time, you will know sooner or later. I will be the one to do this evil thing. Mrs. Zhou looked around and whispered in Eleven Niang’s ear, he started playing sannyasin when he was twelve or thirteen years old.

sexual orientation abnormality

Eleven Niang was stunned.

Is this why he has a bad temper and likes to hit people?

Everyone knows this. There is also something that everyone doesn’t know. Mrs. Zhou’s voice lowered even lower, and she used some means to force the only son of the Ministry of Rites into the hands of the incident. The young man could not bear the humiliation.

, he hanged himself from the old locust tree at the back door of their house. The man was so angry that he couldn't bear it. He passed away a few days later and followed his son to the Wang family. He only said that Wang Lang owed that man.

The young master's debt, the young master wanted to pay the debt, and he was angry for a moment, so he did this life-and-death thing.

Even a good man dares to force him

Eleven Niang was frightened when she heard this, and thought of Xu Lingkuan

He was so courageous that he once beat a maid to death. Mrs. Zhou sighed, if he hadn't beaten someone to death for a trivial matter and dragged your family's fifth child into it, he would have been severely taught by the Marquis of Yongping.

After a meal. How can one be so honest now? He just likes to play with his husband and beat women. She looked at Eleven Niang with some sympathy. When I heard that the Luo family was actually married to their family, your two families had already

I changed my name post. As the saying goes, it is better to tear down a temple than a marriage. I can’t say anything, I can only secretly feel sorry for your sister.

Eleven Niang remained silent.

She knew there was something wrong with Wang Lang, but she didn't expect that he would be so unbearable.

Seeing her sad expression, Mrs. Zhou knew that she was feeling uncomfortable, so she smiled insincerely and comforted her: You don't have to worry. This man is outside, and home is home. Your sister is his legitimate wife, no matter what Wang Lang, those

I still have to take care of my dignity. It's just a pity that I can't play the piano and sing in harmony. But, then again, there are many couples in this world who share the same love with each other, but there are very few who sing in harmony. As I said this, I suddenly thought of Xu Lingyi a few days ago

I just took a baby back and quickly changed the subject. I will be discharged in May next year. You and the Jiang family need to discuss this matter.

Eleven Niang's heart was heavy as she listened.

Now that she is married, Shi Niang is not willing to ask for help from others, Zifeiyu, and the others around her are of no use worrying about getting angry.

Even though she thought this way, she felt heavy in her heart. After hearing that Mrs. Zhou deliberately changed the subject, she didn't want to say more, so she followed her words and continued: The Jiang family's New Year's gift this year was sent by Manager Zhao from the affairs department. In addition to serving

, we should start discussing marriage.

Mrs. Zhou nodded: Then you should also take your brother Yu and Sister Zhen's marriage to heart. Brother Zhun was in a special situation at that time, and it can be said that it was your sister's fate. Now let Brother Zhun rush to Brother Yu's house.

Ahead, be careful if any gossip comes out.

Eleven Niang nodded: You must always listen to the wishes of the Marquis and the Dowager. Even though I am in a hurry, there is no suitable candidate.

That too

As the two of them were talking, a princess came over and invited the eldest princess to pay her respects to the Queen Mother.

Mrs. Zhou was busy waiting on the left and right, and after the eldest princess and Mrs. Tai greeted her, she accompanied the eldest princess to Cining Palace. Mrs. Zhou also took her daughter-in-law and resigned from all the concubines, met the three brothers Xu Lingyi at the Meridian Gate, and returned to Hehua together.

inside.

It was already two minutes before the end of the day, and everyone was very hungry. They went back to their rooms to take off their makeup and change clothes, and then went to the madam's place to eat dumplings.

Eleven Niang was sitting in front of the mirror, dressing up, when a sound of soft footsteps gradually approached, mixed with the woman's low exclamation.

She turned around strangely.

I saw a small figure running in and almost bumped into the little maid Shuangyu who was carrying a copper basin of steaming boiling water.

What's going on? There was a bit of seriousness in Eleven Niang's voice.

Binju's figure appeared in the inner room.

She said anxiously: Madam, it's all my fault for not stopping the fifth young master.

Before Bin Ju could finish her words, Xu Sijie broke in and stopped in front of Eleven Niang.

His face was flushed, and the corners of his eyes and brows were filled with joy as he reached out to Eleven Niang.

There is a rose-colored sugar candy in the palm, or it has been somewhat melted because it has been held in the hand for too long. The rose-colored sugar juice is sticky and sticks to the palm of the hand, making it look dirty.

This is Eleven Niang looking at Xu Sijie in astonishment.

It’s for you. He pursed his lips and smiled, raising his hand to stuff the candy into Eleven Niang’s mouth.

Eleven Niang turned her head subconsciously.

Bin Ju, who rushed in behind him, had already run over. She grabbed Xu Sijie, brought him to a distance where she could not reach Eleven Niang, and said nervously: Fifth Young Master, what are you going to do?

Xu Sijie stared at Eleven Niang blankly, his eyelids slowly drooping, and a sadness that was very inappropriate for his age appeared on his face.

Eleven Niang's heart seemed to be hit by something.

It hurts a little and feels a little stuffy
