Chapter 368: Farce

Eleven Niang whispered what happened to the wife, who smiled and ordered the maids to prepare the meal.

Xu Siyu hurriedly helped the concubine to go to the east room.

Mrs. Tai then asked Xu Siyu: This year’s March 3rd event is held for you. Do you have any classmates or friends you want to invite?

Xu Siyu said with a smile, his grandson's classmates and friends are all in Le'an.

The fifth lady laughed and said: Two days ago, the eldest grandson of Zhennan Mansion came to invite you for an outing. Why, aren't you going to invite him?

Xu Siyu said with a smile: Mr. Jiang originally told me to go back to Anle after passing the county examination, so as not to delay my homework. I have postponed my return to Anle and can no longer miss my studies. I will study at home these days. I agreed.

I'm afraid there will be more invitations to the eldest grandson of Nanfu. Instead of spending time on this, I might as well read a few more pages at home and look like I don't interact with many people.

The fifth lady was a little surprised.

There was a faint smile in the second lady's eyes.

Madam Tai: What our Yu brother said makes sense.

With that said, everyone sat down together, and the maids quietly set out the food.

Everyone stopped talking and each bowed his head to eat. There was only a slight sound of clinking porcelain in the room.

After dinner, the group moved to the West Room to drink tea.

A big red gauze lantern hangs under the ceiling, illuminating people's faces with joy.

Xu Siyu talked about what he had seen and heard along the way, and the wife and several children listened with interest. The second lady held the tea cup and gently sipped the tea without making a sound. Sister Zhen followed the eleventh mother to greet everyone to drink tea and eat snacks and fruits.

The fifth lady was a little absent-minded, touching Sister Xin's forehead from time to time, and asking the wet nurse about Sister Xin's condition in a low voice. Sister Xin had coughed a few times just now.

Although there was some noise in the room, it was also warm and lively.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the second lady stood up to say goodbye.

The madam left Eleven Niang to wait for her to rest, and everyone else left.

You can go and rest in peace. The Queen Mother comforted Eleven Niang, Princess Fucheng was also a noisy person when she was young, but now she is getting older and her temper has calmed down a lot. If the Queen Mother goes too far, Princess Fucheng will not tolerate it blindly.

.The fourth child is not really stupid, he still knows the ways of advance and retreat. Besides, the emperor is not confused about important matters of the emperor.

Seeing that Xu Lingyi hasn’t come back yet, I’m afraid she’s worried.

Eleven Niang responded with a smile, covered the wife with a quilt, blew the octagonal palace lantern on the bedside, moved the melon-shaped palace lantern on the Kang table to the small table next to the floor cage, and saw Wei Zi coming in with bedding in her arms.

Returned to his yard.

The wind at night in early spring still retains the coldness of winter. There is a crescent moon in the sky, and the hazy and quiet Yongping Marquis Mansion. Under the eaves are hanging red lanterns swaying in the wind, like naughty children playing, about to collide.

They separated again, moving happily and non-stop.

Eleven Niang tucked up her cloak and walked quickly into the hall.

The little maids hurriedly came forward to help with dressing and grooming.

Eleven Niang changed into homely clothes, leaned on the pillow on the big bed near the window and drank a cup of chrysanthemum tea comfortably. She was thinking about whether to wait for Xu Lingyi to come back, when the little maid ran in: Manager Bai is here.

at this time

When Eleven Niang thought about Xu Lingyi entering the palace, a trace of panic flashed across her expression that she was not even aware of. While she ordered the little maid to invite Manager Bai in, she put on a jacket and went to the hall.

Manager Bai's face turned pale, and he hurriedly came forward and bowed: Madam, the Queen Mother has decreed that

There was a faint feeling of uneasiness in Eleven Niang's heart.

knew

Then he ordered the little maids to report to the Second Madam and the Fifth Madam. He called Amber, went back to the house, changed into a dress, and hurried to the Madam.

In the quiet night, the main door of Yongping Hou Mansion slowly opened with a dull creak of the door shaft, and the lights in the backyard also lit up in sequence as the door opened. After a while, the entire Hou Mansion was brightly lit.

.

The madam looked solemn: the fourth child has not come back yet

No. 11 Niang had just opened her mouth to accept the promise, but the Second Madam had already said: "Mom, don't worry. If it concerns the Marquis, it must be the Holy Will and not Yi's decree."

The madam nodded, and the fifth lady stepped forward to help the madam, and the group went to the yard in front of the small living room behind the main hall.

The person who conveyed the order was the chief chamberlain of Cining Palace. When he saw the family members of the Xu Mansion, he looked a little embarrassed. He bowed his hands towards the wife and unfolded the bright yellow brocade silk with colorful phoenix patterns.

The third daughter of Yang Zhong, the elder brother of the Marquis of Jianning, was trained in etiquette at a young age and had a long life. She came out of the Ding clan and became famous in Huahuan. She was given to Yongping Marquis Xu Lingyi as a concubine. The auspicious day is March 12th.

The soft voice is as silent as a stone sinking into the ocean.

The chamberlain coughed slightly uncomfortably and called out to Madam for help.

The madam's face was a little pale. She knelt there with her hands on her knees and did not stand up for a long time.

The fifth lady saw a flash of panic on her face and hurriedly stood up to help the lady.

The second lady looked slightly stern.

The decree has been issued, how can it be ignored? Not to mention that kneeling like this can't solve the problem. If the news reaches the ears of the Queen Mother, it will add a crime.

She reached out to pull Eleven Niang.

This is a matter of the fourth room. Only if she accepts the decree can the madam's heart change.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she raised her hand, Eleven Niang, who was kneeling in front of her, had already stood up.

Father-in-law, thank you for your hard work. Eleven Niang smiled and stepped forward to accept the order. She winked at Manager Bai who was kneeling outside the door. The Marquis was still in the palace and the Fifth Master was on duty. He could only ask the father-in-law to condescend to go to the side hall to drink.

cup of tea.

The chamberlain breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and handed the Yi Zhi to Eleven Niang like a hot potato. He first stepped forward and bowed to Mrs. Tai: Mrs. Tai, it’s getting late and I’m going back to the palace to resume my duties. I’ll come back to you another day.

Mrs. Tai said hello. Without waiting for Mrs. Tai's reply, she bowed her hands to Eleven Niang again: Madam Yongpinghou, I will take my leave first. After saying that, she winked at the little chamberlain who was following her, raised her feet and left.

Small courtyard.

Manager Bai hurriedly followed him, bowing and walking out with him, while stuffing something into his hand.

When it comes to the life and death of the Queen Mother and the Yang family, the Queen Mother will not give in. Eleven Niang has been prepared for this. And unknown things always make people feel worried and scared. The moment she heard the decree, she felt something else.

The feeling of relief and calm that the shoe finally fell off.

Thinking of Mrs. Tai's expression, Eleven Niang turned around and helped Mrs. Tai's other shoulder: Mom, let me go back with you.

Mrs. Tai tightly held Eleven Niang's hand supporting her and nodded gently.

The fifth lady immediately let go of her hand obediently and stood aside quietly.

The Madam raised her head and glanced at the Second Madam and the Fifth Madam, and solemnly said: You all should go back and have a rest. You don’t need to go crazy with them.

This is extremely disrespectful.

The Second Madam and the Fifth Madam lowered their heads and responded in unison. They stood there and watched as the figures of the Tai Madam and the Eleventh Madam, who were surrounded by the maids and wives, gradually disappeared from sight, and then they dispersed.

Eleven Niang looked at the expression on Mrs. Tai's hesitant expression, not wanting to embarrass Mrs. Du, so she took the tea from Mama Du's hand and served it to her. No matter what the emperor meant or what the Marquis meant, the Queen Mother's decree was given.

, there is absolutely no reason to take it back. Otherwise, where is the dignity of the royal family and where is the majesty of the Tian family. Just rest assured, I know the importance and will act cautiously and will not let outsiders see the jokes of our Xu family.

The madam took the tea cup and put it aside. She really had nothing to say. She took Eleven Niang’s hand and sighed longly: You are a good and sensible child, but she couldn’t say a word else.

.

Now that a newlywed has been admitted, the date is set in a hurry, and there are still many trivial matters to be done. This is the first time that I have encountered such a thing, and I don’t know what the details are. I am afraid that I will need my mother’s guidance on everything. Eleven Niang

Stand up with a smile, Mom, let me serve you and rest.

The madam shook her head gently: You go and have a rest. I will drink this cup of tea before going to bed.

For the Xu family, which avoided the Yang family, the arrival of Yang's daughter was not something worth celebrating, not to mention that the news came so suddenly, and the wife also had to think about the future.

Eleven Niang smiled and told Mrs. Du to go to bed early, and then Mother Du sent her out.

Amber saw that her expression was slightly solemn, and she looked thoughtful from time to time. While she relaxed her hands and feet, she stared sharply at the accompanying maids and women, fearing that they would make some noise at this time and disturb Eleven Niang.

A group of people followed Shiyi Niang silently, passed through the Chaoshou veranda, and stopped in front of the courtyard gate.

Eleven Niang stood on the steps and looked at the brightly lit courtyard, without saying a word for a long time.

In the huge courtyard, you can only hear the sound of the night wind blowing through the treetops.

The entrance to Madame's Courtyard is a draft. If you catch the wind and cold, it will be bad. You might be accused of being sick or pretending to be sick. Amber tiptoes forward and calls out to Eleven Niang, "Do you want me to get it for you?"

a cloak

Remind her gently that it's windy here.

Eleven Niang said, "No need. Let's go into the house."

Amber breathed a sigh of relief.

Then I heard Eleven Niang say: Tell me, when the newlyweds come in, should they live in a separate place or live with us? Logically speaking, she was rewarded by the Queen Mother. Unlike ordinary concubines, it should be reasonable to live in a separate place.

If that's the case, we can only live in Liufangwu Zhaozhuantang or Nongxiang Pavilion to the west of the garden. Liufangwu is close to the water, which is not very safe, and Nongxiang Pavilion is a bit crude. She is afraid that people will say she is neglecting to live with us.

As he said that, he glanced at the surrounding rooms. After all, he is still a concubine. Living in the front yard is not acceptable. What if you live in the back room? You live in the east courtyard with your aunts, and Aunt Wen lives in the first building facing south. How can you let me live in the front yard?

Aunt Wen couldn't move her place. She said and took a breath. It's really a troublesome thing.

What on earth is Madam thinking? If you don't send someone to find out what happened in the palace right now, the Marquis is worried about whether he is safe or not.

Amber was furious for a while when he heard this, and it took him a long time to regain his breath. He said in a low voice: You have to ask the Marquis about these things.

Eleven Niang didn't seem to understand what she meant. She nodded: "Let's wait until the Marquis comes back before making a decision." Then she quickly entered the house.

: In my impression, the Tongsheng Exam requires three exams, so I wrote according to my impression. Later, I saw the message in the comment area, and then I was lazy and checked Baidu. I thought I was wrong, so I changed it.

Correction. I felt something was wrong when I woke up in the morning, so I looked up the history of the Ming Dynasty, and found that there was something wrong with my statement. I revised it again.

In the final analysis, my basic skills are not good enough.
