Chapter 246 Undercurrent

Mother Tao slowly knelt in front of Eleven Niang.

She looked a little blank: This matter is all my fault. I deserve to be punished no matter how madam. Please leave me some dignity in front of Brother Chen. I will always be grateful to you for your tight lips.

Mom also knows that it’s good to be decent. Eleven Niang sat upright and looked at Tao’s mother: Let’s just let this matter go. Mom, go and have a rest.

Tao's mother bowed and retreated.

Eleven Niang sighed quietly.

She really wanted to have a good time with the people left behind by Yuan Niang, so she smoothly handed over this responsibility to Brother Chen and his wife. But sometimes, things always went as planned.

The next afternoon, Wu Niang came.

After listening to the little maid's report, Eleven Niang told Hu Hu: You should be brighter. If she wants me to do business with her again, you can find an excuse to call me out.

Amber suppressed a smile and nodded: Madam, don't worry, I won't worry.

The eleventh mother then went out to meet the fifth mother.

The fifth sister has not been here for some time. If she has anything to do, I can just ask the mothers to bring a letter. Why did she come in person? I looked at her tall belly again and thought to myself, they can't be twins.

It's okay, it's okay. Wu Niang smiled and said, your brother-in-law, he is a father for the first time, so he is very nervous. He will only have three or four months to give birth, so he invited me to have a stable mother at home. The stable mother said, let me have more

Walk around. Your brother-in-law won't let me do needlework. Today I'll go to Baiyun Temple, tomorrow I'll go to Huguo Temple. It's like a revolving door. I've been dizzy these days. No, today I'm going to Huguo Temple again. What are you talking about?

The first time he saw me, he was talking in Huguo Temple, smiling with his sleeves covered, his face half cheerful, half shy.

Eleven Niang is not the kind of person who makes people look bad. She immediately smiled and said: Fifth brother-in-law treats fifth sister really well.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Wu Niang said, "How can I really be like what he said, walking around every day without caring about the house? No, I saw that the weather is good today, so I excused myself from walking and stopped by your place."

I remembered that you had a lot of fancy ones in your hands during the trip, and I wanted to make a pair of knee pads for your brother-in-law.

The fifth sister was so kind to the fifth brother-in-law. The eleventh mother smiled and helped her into the house, sat her down on the kang, and told the little maid to call Bin Ju: she said that the fifth concubine was here and wanted to do some tricks.

She brought over the fancy rattan.

The little maid responded and left.

Hu Bo led the little maid to serve tea to Wu Niang in person.

Wu Niang looked at Hu Hu: This girl has grown more and more handsome since she followed you. Could it be that the food in Xu Mansion is particularly nourishing?

The fifth concubine praised her. Hu Bo smiled in response, and she was somewhat generous, neither humble nor overbearing.

Wu Niang looked at her and nodded, chatting with Eleven Niang: I heard that Dongqing has a match, but the date has been decided.

No. Eleven Niang said, haven’t you been busy with Ten Sister’s affairs these past few days, so this matter has been delayed.

There's no need to delay this. Just let Tao's mother help take care of it.

After all, he is the first one in my family to get married, so he should be more respectable than others. However, I have already asked Mother Tao to help me with the dowry and other matters.

The two of them chatted for a few words, and Binju came in with pictures. Everyone picked here and there for a while. Wu Niang chose a few auspicious pictures, such as rising steadily and winning three yuan in a row, and then winked at Eleven Niang: We sisters.

You don't need so many people to wait on you when you talk. Let them play, which can be regarded as a reward from me.

Eleven Niang knew that the main show was about to begin, so she sighed helplessly in her heart and dismissed the attendants around her.

Wu Niang put her elbows on the Kang table, leaned forward and said, "Why did I hear that Aunt Qiao in your house had a baby? She lowered her voice, as if it was some great secret."

Eleven Niang suppressed herself from frowning: How did Fifth Sister know?

Wu Niang pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't ask who said it, don't ask, I won't tell you."

Who else could be there besides people from the Luo family?

Eleven Niang didn't bother to pursue these matters, and there was no point in pursuing them. What was the purpose of Wu Niang's coming was the main thing.

She nodded: Aunt Qiao just found out that she has Ximai.

Hey, Wu Niang sighed, what are you going to do?

Take good care of Aunt Qiao and let her give birth to the child smoothly.

What about your house? Wu Niang is really concerned about it.

Could it be that he is here to be a lobbyist for the eldest lady?

Eleven Niang guessed, pretending not to understand the meaning of her words, and asked: What can happen in my room?

You, don't use your brain. Wu Niang looks like she hates the fact that iron cannot become steel. Then Aunt Qin and Wen are old, and now Aunt Qiao is pregnant and can't stay up, so you can't make plans. Let me tell you.

Ah, why not take two or three young and beautiful ladies into the house and take advantage of this opportunity to serve the Marquis well?

Eleven Niang was disgusted by what she heard. She just thought it was a mosquito flying next to her ears and responded hummingly.

Just when she felt she couldn't bear it anymore, Amber came in: Mrs. Fifth, let me make you another cup of tea.

Wu Yiniang stopped talking without finishing her words and nodded towards Hu Hu.

Amber served tea to the two of them again, and brought in fruit: the fifth concubine would like to taste apples from Shandong and oranges from Gannan.

Wu Yiniang smiled and took an orange and smelled it.

After Amber retreated, he started talking again: How about I ask your brother-in-law to help you buy a few Yangzhou thin horses? Do you know that the Yangzhou thin horses are specially trained and then made small and beautiful for those rich and powerful families?

, gentle and obedient

It seems that she gained a lot of knowledge by marrying Qian Ming.

Eleven Niang peeled an apple and gave it to her: Fifth Sister, eat more apples.

Well, she took it, took a bite, and continued: Otherwise, I'll take the one next to you. It's considerate and can help you. I think Amber is good, and Binju is also honest. It's a pity that Dongqing has been booked by you.

Otherwise, she is a suitable person. She is the right age and looks the most arrogant.

I can't even stop my mouth.

Wu Niang was talking non-stop, but Amber, who was listening through the curtain, was frightened.

I heard the words "Aunt Qiao is pregnant" come out of Wu Yiniang's mouth, and then she said "we are having sex". Finally, she mentioned her and Dongqing's names, and heard Eleven Niang humming.

She was confused for a moment.

Yesterday when Eleven Niang went back to her parents' home, she also went back and met with Huanhu. At that time, Hualu took her to the woodshed and talked: "What did Aunt Eleven tell you? Didn't the eldest lady give it to us?"

Mr. Marquis has a common room. When the eldest wife put you in the eleventh aunt's house, what happened now?

Sister, don’t worry, Madam is treating me well. Amber smiled and said, I am in charge of most of the things in the house. As she said that, she frowned, but I didn’t hear that the eldest lady arranged a room for Mr. Hou. After thinking about it,

Then he smiled and said, "It's okay. Even if the Marquis wants to close the room, it will only happen if our wife nods." Then he saw the coral frowning, like a little old lady, and smiled and teased her, "Does anyone want to go?"

I serve our wife, so I asked my sister to come to my door.

Fuck you Coral, smile and twist her face, damn hoof, aren't I worried about you?

Yes, there are a few people who work as housemates who have a good end. Those who can be promoted as aunts in the end really have to be lucky. People like them who don't dare to gamble are better to be maids honestly.

.

She thought about what the lady had said to her that night, and she vaguely felt that the lady wanted her to be her left arm and right shoulder, not an Israeli servant's wife or concubine. Whenever she thought of this, she felt very sad.

Be proud and feel that you are different.

But it was hard to say this to Coral. After all, it was not something that was said with red lips and white teeth or written in ink on white paper.

What I believed in before became less certain at this moment.

No one knows better than her what kind of dilemma the lady is facing now. In the past two months, the Marquis has been in the lady's room and the lady's bed has been clean.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but walk to the long table in the hall, put her hands together and recited Amitabha secretly to the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva displayed above.

I just hope that my wife will get her haircut soon.

Once the haircut is done, all these things will be solved.

Maybe we can take advantage of Aunt Qiao's inability to stay in bed to have a baby.

Amber, what are you doing? Suddenly the voice of Mother Tao came from the empty hall, begging the Bodhisattva to give you a good home.

Amber was startled and turned around hastily.

Why does Mama Tao make no sound when she walks? She said angrily, but it scared me. I looked behind her again and saw she was the only one coming in. I knew it was the little maid outside the door who was too powerful to stop her, so she hurriedly said

, the fifth concubine came over and was talking to her in the room.

Tao's mother curled up her lips slightly after hearing this: "What's wrong with you is either to borrow money or to persuade our wife to do business with her."

Amber is not well rated.

Why did my mother come to see Madam? Madam asked me to prepare dinner in the small kitchen. I am afraid that I have to leave my fifth concubine to eat. I will definitely have more to say in a while. Do you want me to pass on a message to you with a smile?

While talking to her, he walked out of the hall with her.

It's not something that can't be waited for. Mother Tao smiled and said, Madam asked me to help buy Dongqing's dowry. I have prepared everything, drawn up a list, and wanted to bring it to Madam for review.

Amber thought of Eleven Niang's instructions, but did not dare to go far and stood under the eaves to talk to her.

In this case, as soon as Madam is free, I will send the little maid to report a message to you. What do you think?

Tao's mother thought for a while and said: Then I'll trouble you.
