Chapter 381 Late Spring

As much as you charge, you can do as many things as you want. Last time, it was just to perform a blessing ritual for the second young master, so Jining charged her thirty taels of silver. This time she asked Jining to help curse those villains who were blocking her.

But he only wanted five taels of silver. He clearly didn't want to help her with this matter.

It seems that there are only other ways to think of it.

Aunt Qin was furious, but she endured it and did not do anything.

Jining was the abbot of Ciyuan Temple, and most of his contacts were the wives of high-ranking officials. He often visited her because she had given birth to the eldest son of the Yongping Marquis.

She turned around and told Cui'er to take five taels of silver and give it to Jining: "Then please ask the master to do a ritual for me. But her smile was a little forced."

Jining smiled secretly, collected the money, exchanged greetings with Aunt Qin, got up and left to go to Eleventh Mother's place.

She said that she was suffering from some illnesses these days and asked me to help perform rituals. She sat down and explained to Eleven Niang with a smile.

Everyone said that she had a close relationship with the Jianning Hou Shouchang Bo family, and there was nothing she could do about it. The two ladies often invited her to talk to each other, so she had to go. Besides, the Queen Mother was still young and might live longer than she did.

People in the future would worry about future events, so she didn't take it too seriously. Since the Queen Mother became ill last winter, she began to make secret calculations in her heart. However, although the Queen Mother believed in Buddhism, she was not like Marquis Jianning and Shouchang.

The uncle's family always asks questions about big and small things; the eleventh mother seems to be polite to others, but there is a bit of coldness in her bones. I don't know if she has another master she believes in or she doesn't believe in herself.

. And the Fifth Madam, who was originally closest to her, is no longer close to her since Sister Xin got a doctor. Faintly, she and everyone in the Xu Mansion are getting farther and farther apart.

For a family like the Xu Mansion, every year when the New Year was approaching, she would get some auspicious charms such as yellow watches and visit them personally, taking the opportunity to collect the sesame oil money for the next year. Therefore, although she felt a little uneasy, she was not too anxious.

.Who would have thought that first the Xu family took the initiative to ask her for lucky charms and money for sesame oil, and then Marquis Jianning and Shouchangbo sent people to take her home to perform rituals. Only then did she know something. The more Jining thought about it, the more she became afraid.

, I just wanted to get away as soon as possible, but I didn’t dare to do it too obviously for the moment. I just wanted to think of some way to meet the Eleventh Mother. But she saw the Tai Madam, the Fifth Madam, and even the Second Madam did not see her.

Eleven Niang. She was anxious. When she heard that Aunt Qin wanted to see her, she was immediately overjoyed. She changed her clothes and followed the messenger directly.

Eleven Niang didn't pay too much attention. Once she believed that Jining could achieve this level of Ciyuan Temple, she would definitely not be a dull person. It would not be easy for Aunt Qin to want her to do something risky.

Secondly, the Yang family agreed to the emperor's proposal and let the two women they had worked so hard to cultivate enter Princess Fucheng's Mansion and Yongping Hou's Mansion respectively. It must have been intentional. Jining and the Yang family have always been close, Jining

It came so quickly, she wondered if Jining would play some role in it.

Jining greeted her first when he entered the door, and immediately came to explain the situation to Aunt Qin after leaving her door. But he didn't know if she would make an excuse to go to Yang's place later.

While thinking about it, Eleven Niang smiled and said: Then I have to thank Master Jining. Aunt Qin doesn't have any other hobbies, she just likes to respect Bodhisattvas.

Although Jining wanted to get close to the Marquis of Yongping Mansion, he never wanted to get involved in the fight in the inner house.

She exchanged a few words with Eleven Niang, praised the decorations on the windowsill of the inner room, and then talked about the Buddha's birthday on the eighth day of April: Mrs. Tai goes to Yaowang Temple every year, and that is also for the sake of the second master who died young. Now the marquis is idle.

At home, the concubine should also go and offer incense for the Marquis. But the one worshiping in our temple is Guanyin Bodhisattva. Otherwise, the concubine should be invited to worship in our temple.

She didn't directly recommend Ciyuan Temple, but she looked like she was planning for the Xu family with all her heart. Eleven Niang nodded secretly in her heart again.

The spring sunshine shines brightly and warmly on the roof of the first courtyard in the east courtyard of Yongping Houfu. Under the shadow of the eaves, Mother Yang is bending down to talk to a little maid who looks about seven or eight years old. She smiles and smiles kindly.

He nodded, rewarded the little maid with a few copper coins, and then quickly raised the curtain and entered the house.

Mrs. Yang was sitting on the big kang near the inner window, picking up the soles of her shoes.

Xiao um, aunt, she quickly changed her words. I just heard that Aunt Qin invited Master Jining from Ciyuan Temple. She just came out of Aunt Qin’s yard and went to Madam. After saying that, she looked at Yang with anxiety in her eyes.

Shi winked.

Yang didn't even raise her head when she heard the words: "Really?" The voice was very casual, but the movement of picking up the soles of the shoes was faster than before.

Mother Yang raised her head and saw the little maid standing in the corner. She was immediately enlightened. She first went to pour a cup of tea for Mrs. Yang herself, and then she told the little maid: "Go and see if the food in the kitchen is ready."

The little maid left in response. Only then did Yang raise her head, with a look of urgency on her face: "Mom, you must not go see Master Jining." She said, her voice as low as a gnat. If there is anything wrong with uncle, he will naturally find a way to tell me.

, but we must not contact others on our own initiative, or bring letters back to the Yang family. You must know that there are people from the Xu family around here. We must not let others catch anything.

Mother Yang hesitated when she heard this: But Mr. Hou

If the Marquis doesn't come to my place, how can I complain to my uncle? I'm afraid others will laugh at me for not being able to do anything. And even if the Marquis comes reluctantly for the sake of my uncle, can I still give birth to a son?

If I don't succeed, I'm lucky enough to have given birth to a son. How can I guarantee that he will grow up smoothly? Since temporary favor cannot guarantee a lifetime, what's the use of it?

But the people in the house

They could say whatever they wanted. Yang looked disapproving, but there was a fleeting cold light in his eyes. Winners and losers. Those who have the right to be angry and angry are always winners.

Mother Yang was silent.

Mrs. Yang turned sideways and took out a foot-long piece of ruffle with butterflies, peaches and plums embroidered on it from the rattan on the side: "Mom, please roll it aside for me."

Mother Yang accepted the answer, sat on the small bed next to the kang, made a few stitches, and whispered: Auntie, you have time to help Aunt Wen make the ruffle skirt, why not go to Madam's side and walk around more or...

Helping Madam make a heddle skirt is better than working on an aunt who has fallen out of favor. She said, stopping her needlework and looking at Mrs. Yang. April 24th was the birthday of the Madam. I heard that in previous years

The madam has to make the shoes, socks and clothes for the madam with her own hands. If the aunt is a little more attentive in front of the madam, maybe the madam will give the needlework to the aunt.

What mom said didn't make sense. Yang stared at the needlework in her hands and said softly, since Madam handed me over to Aunt Wen, I should respect Aunt Wen as a lady, make shoes and socks, and serve tea.

Shui, this is my duty. How can I go beyond Aunt Wen to honor Madam? Not only will Aunt Wen be unhappy, Madam will also think that I am too eager. As for doing needlework for Mrs. Tai, there are so many people sewing in the house.

, the large and small embroidery workshops in Yanjing, the palace needlework bureaus selected embroiderers from all over the country, are there none who can compare with the madam? In the final analysis, it is just the madam who wants to honor the madam, she is the embroidery piece

The leaves are more precious than the flowers I embroider. Don’t mention these disrespectful words in the future. I also told Mother Yang to make this skirt quickly so that Aunt Wen can wear it to greet Madam. This is what I am doing

of decency.

Mother Yang sighed softly in her heart, lowered her head and rolled the edge for Yilian.

Aunt Wen smiled and looked at Qiao Lianfang who was holding the peach blossom pastel teapot Xu Lingyi admired and praised her: "Sister, sit down and have a cup of tea."

Qiao Lianfang responded with a smile, and sat on the big Kang near the window with Aunt Wen.

Qiuhong served tea and snacks herself.

The two chatted for a while, and Aunt Wen smiled and said: Why does Sister Qiao have time to come to my place today?

Qiao Lianfang smiled and said: "I only knew that it was in Fenyuan before, but I didn't expect that Sister Wen had moved to the second young master's old residence. So I came here to have a look today." After saying that, she asked Xiu Citron to give her an ink painting she had drawn.

After congratulations, I looked at Aunt Wen's house again. After such repairs, it was even better than the yard where my sister used to live.

Aunt Wen asked Qiu Hong to put away the painting, and said with a smile: This is all Madam's intention. According to my temper, it will be the same wherever I live.

So everyone said that my sister is an open-minded person. Qiao Lianfang smiled and nodded, so the lady gave Aunt Yang to her sister for training.

Sister, thank you. Aunt Wen did not have a deep conversation with Qiao Lianfang. She pointed to the snacks on the plate and warmly invited her to eat more. This is the chrysanthemum cake and this is the osmanthus cake. She introduced various snacks to her without even saying a few words.

Say something.

Qiao Lianfang responded with a few words and asked about Aunt Yang: I heard that she comes every morning and evening to invite her sister to help Madam in the morning and dusk.

Aunt Wen said calmly: Since Madam handed her over to me, I have to tell her some rules. Otherwise, she will be rude and I will lose face in front of Madam.

After hearing this, Qiao Lianfang covered her mouth and smiled: She was rude because she was a naughty person. How could she blame her sister? There are countless maids and wives around her, but only Qiu Hong is sensible and considerate.

, Could it be that the other sisters have not tried their best to train her? It’s because those people have poor qualifications. I’m afraid the madam understands it in her heart. Otherwise, why would she leave it to her sister to discipline Yang, who was given by the Queen Mother? After she finished speaking, she poured out her heart.

She stood up and lowered her voice, "Sister, no matter how strict our family's rules are, how can they be bigger than those in the palace? Madam's move has profound meaning. There are some things that my sister has to share with Madam." Madam, to our eldest lady, then

There's really nothing to say. Even if my sister doesn't care about the Madam's face, she still has to do her best for the Eldest Miss's sake. Now that someone has entered the door, can it be that the Marquis can carry the person back in a small sedan chair?

If you want to light three fires, you also need firewood.

There is an implicit hint in the words that Eleven Niang handed over Yang to Aunt Wen because she wanted to use Aunt Wen's hand to deal with Yang.

I will accompany my child to the interview tomorrow.
