Chapter 276 Mid-March

Early the next morning, Eleven Niang greeted guests in the flower hall next to Dianchun Hall.

The first to arrive were Mrs. Huang, the Marquis of Yongchang, and Grandma Huang San.

Mrs. Huang blinked at Eleven Niang: You put me in your mother-in-law's place. She pointed to Grandma Huang San and asked her to help you greet the guests.

Another one to help her

Eleven Niang hurriedly bent her knees to thank her, and helped Mrs. Huang to go to Mrs. Tai's place.

Grandma Huang San took her hand and looked at it carefully: it looked like a flower.

Eleven Niang said modestly: Because it is spring, so I wear thin clothes.

Grandma Huang San sighed: I have never lost weight since I gave birth to my third child.

Maybe it's because the clothes in ancient times were relatively loose, but Eleven Niang couldn't tell: My sister's requirements are too high. I think this is good.

Just as he was talking, Mrs. Lin came, but Mrs. Lin and Sister Hui were nowhere to be seen.

Mrs. Lin smiled and said: There are several nephews from her natal family.

Grandma Huang San heard this and smiled and said: I am here to participate in the martial arts competition.

Mrs. Lin smiled and nodded: Seven or eight people came in large numbers. They said they were here to see something, but their expressions did not look like they were proud.

The Cangzhou Shao family was naturally nominated for the Gold List. Grandma Huang San flattered her a little, and Eleven Niang accompanied her to the Madam's place.

Turning back, Mrs. Zheng Taijun of the Tang Dynasty, the grandma of the Luo family, Brother Xiu, the fourth grandma and the twelve mothers all arrived one after another. For a while, there was a lot of laughter in the room. The fifth lady came over again with the child in her arms, and everyone was having fun.

The mother in charge of the child came over to report that Mrs. Zhou had arrived with her eldest daughter.

Eleven Niang rushed over to welcome him.

Mrs. Zhou pointed to the pretty little girl next to her: Our sister Fang, please bring her to see her.

My sister is from Fugui Township. We are having fun here because my sister likes it. Eleven Niang said politely.

Sister Fang has bent her knees to salute Eleven Niang.

Fortunately, she was prepared for this situation. Eleven Niang took out a jade pendant with five bats and peaches from her arms as a meeting gift for Sister Fang, and went to the flower hall with Mrs. Zhou.

Just as we stood still, Shanxi General Li's wife came with her eldest daughter.

Eleven Niang went to greet him again.

Miss Li is thirteen years old this year. She has big eyes and fair skin, and wears a red gold filigree willow leaf hoop on her double bun. Her eyes flicker when she looks at people, with a childishness that belies her age.

.

She saluted Eleven Niang with a smile, but stared at Eleven Niang, looking very curious.

The meeting gift given by Eleven Niang was a pair of red gold and jade hairpins.

When everyone met, people were coming and going, and the room became more and more lively.

The maids and wives came over, chatting and laughing, surrounded by Mrs. Huang and Madam Huang.

After another commotion, everyone sat down in order.

The maids served tea and snacks, and the mothers brought Sister Xu Siyuzhen, son Zhun and brother Xu Sijie over to salute you.

Some hugged Brother Chen, some pulled Sister Zhen to watch, and some asked Xu Siyu what Xu Sijie had said. The room was very lively.

Eleven Niangs entertained everyone with refreshments. Mother Du took Brother Xu Siyuchen and Xu Sijiexiu to Lijingxuan. Sister Zhen and Eldest Sister Li, the Eleventh Niangfang, went to Liufangwu. The ladies and grandmothers went as well.

Dian Chun Tang.

Zhou Dehui, the head teacher of the Deyin class, came out and said a few witty words, and the show started.

Miss Li looked at Twelve Niang: Then you are the elder.

Twelve Niang hummed a little sheepishly.

Miss Li stretched out her hand to ask for a meeting gift from Twelve Niangs: Mrs. Yongpinghou just gave me a pair of jade and golden hairpins.

Sister Fang, who was walking side by side with Sister Zhen, her eyebrows froze slightly when she heard this, and she told Sister Zhen about Sister Hui: Last time, she even gave me a knot, saying that she learned it from her mother next to her. It’s really true.

I was shocked. What did your mother say to her?

Sister Zhen smiled and told her what happened.

The Twelve Mother over there has generously brought out a pair of plum blossom silver screws.

Miss Li accepted the offer and shouted to Sister Fang to ask for money.

Sister Fang looked like she didn't hear anything and listened to Sister Zhen's words seriously.

Miss Li thought she didn't hear her, so she stepped forward to pull her.

Sister Fang frowned slightly and said, "Can you please lower your voice?" Then she turned to Sister Zhen and said, "Continue talking, I'm listening."

Miss Li couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Just as Sister Zhen was about to speak out to help Miss Li out of the situation, Twelfth Niang beside her suddenly let out a cry and pointed to the stone boat lying across the water in front of her: Is that Liufangwu?

It was a stone boat in Liufangwu. Sister Zhen was relieved when she heard this, and pointed to the octagonal pavilion next to the stone boat with a smile: You can fish there. She also asked a few people: The weather is good today, do you want to go fishing?

Let's just sit and talk. Sister Fang objects, what's so fun about fishing?

No one refuted her words, but they changed the topic and revealed the scene just now.

Sister Fang continued to ask about Sister Hui.

Miss Li and Twelfth Niang fell behind them and whispered: Sister Fang and I have only met each other a few times. She is a very arrogant person.

But the Twelve Niang thought of what the Sixth Yi Niang had told her when she came: Don't look at some people who are polite to you, but in fact they look down on you.

She smiled and changed the subject: Are you from Yanjing?

Miss Li whispered, "We are from Dengzhou. Do you know Dengzhou?"

Twelve Niang thought for a while: Is it Dengzhou, Shandong?

Miss Li laughed: Well, it is Dengzhou, Shandong. My grandfather once served as the commander of the Dengzhou Guard. However, he passed away when my father was fourteen years old. My father succeeded him. I asked Twelfth Mother again, who are you?

Where are you from?

Twelve Niang felt that although Miss Li was a little reckless, she also had a frank side and said with a smile: I am from Yuhang, Zhejiang. Do you know Yuhang?

Miss Li nodded: I know. There are many opera singers there.

She means Yuhang accent, right?

Twelve Niang laughed.

Sister Fang, who was walking in front, glanced behind her.

Miss Li had no idea at all and was chatting with Twelve Niangs: Why are you called Twelve Niangs? Do you have twelve sisters in your family?

Twelve Niang nodded: I still have six brothers

Miss Li was stunned: There are so many, how can we eat?

Twelve Niang pursed her lips and smiled.

Miss Li exclaimed as if she suddenly remembered something: Then Mrs. Yongpinghou, isn’t she called Eleven Niang?

Sister Zhen and Sister Fang both looked back at her.

She couldn't help but laugh sarcastically, and whispered to Twelve Niangs: Let's keep our voices down.

Twelve Niang nodded.

Miss Li asked her: Are you sisters?

No. Twelve Niang said with a smile, my aunt is ranked sixth, and my sister’s aunt is ranked fifth.

Miss Li nodded with a look of relief: I said, how could there be so many brothers and sisters from the same country? Then she smiled and said, my father is only my mother. I also have two brothers. We are all from the same country.

This time it was Twelfth Mother’s turn to be surprised: Don’t you have an aunt in your family?

My father said that our family would only accept an aunt if she could not give birth to a child. Miss Li’s back was straight, and my father also said that our family does not want any marriage partners.

A trace of envy flashed in Twelve Niang's eyes.

Over there, Eleven Niang was standing at the door of the small courtyard next to the Dianchun Hall and the fourth grandma of the Luo family, talking.

For some reason, I just can't get pregnant. Aunt Eleven knows a lot of people, and I would like to ask you to introduce me to an imperial doctor who is good at seeing this.

Eleven Niang agreed wholeheartedly and comforted her: You just got married not long ago, so there is no need to be in a hurry.

I'm not in a hurry. Grandma Luo Si smiled bitterly, but your fourth brother said that someone in the house had been pregnant before. It seemed that it was all my fault.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

Luo Zhensheng really dares to say anything.

The fourth brother has a childish temper. Don't take it to heart. She comforted Grandma Luo Si and saw the mother in charge of welcoming guests accompanying Mrs. Qiao into the Dianchun Hall.

Although I posted the message, I didn’t expect her to come.

Grandma Luo Si also saw people coming, so she was naturally embarrassed to leave Shiyiniang here talking anymore, so she went back to Dianchun Hall with her with a smile.
