Chapter 386 In the Green Mountains

Back in the lotus, Eleven Niang went to pay her respects to Mrs. Tai first.

The madam smiled and leaned on the big kang near the window, watching Xu Sichen and Xu Sijie playing with big red apples to the toddler Xin. The room was full of laughter and laughter.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but wonder.

The Fifth Madam never really likes Sister Xin and Xu Sijie playing together. What's going on today?

As soon as the thought flashed, Xu Sijie rushed over: Mother, mother

Eleven Niang hurriedly gathered her thoughts, smiled and touched his head. She raised her head and called the Madam "Mother".

When she came back, the madam smiled and sat upright.

Xu Sizhen left Sister Xin and ran over: Mother, why did you come back so late? There was a bit of coquettishness in her voice. You didn't even listen to us playing the flute today. We learned a new song from Mr. Zhao today.

Really? Eleven Niang bent down and looked at Xu Sizhen with a smile. I'm so sorry. I went to see Mrs. Gan. I didn't listen to the new music you played. Otherwise, you can play it again early tomorrow morning.

I listen

Xu Sizhen wanted to blow it to Eleven Niang right away, but he couldn't help but hesitate when he heard the words. However, Xu Sijie said that whatever Eleven Niang said was fine, he clapped his hands and said: Okay, ok, Xu Sizhen couldn't insist, so he reluctantly nodded.

Sister Xin, who was surrounded by people just now, saw that her surroundings suddenly became deserted, and she couldn't help but be confused. First she stood there and looked sideways at Mrs. Eleven Niang, who was looking at me with a smile, and then looked back.

He glanced at the wet nurse who was standing with her hands down, and finally her eyes fell on Eleven Niang, who was surrounded by the two brothers Xu Sizhen and Xu Sijie. She flattened her mouth, let out a wah, and began to cry reluctantly.

The big furniture is a surprise.

Sister Xin's wet nurse took three steps at a time and came forward to hug her: Sister, she coaxed her softly.

Only then did Eleven Niang realize that Mrs. Wu and Mama Shi were not there.

Sister Xin is the fifth wife’s first child, and because she is not in good health, the fifth wife pays close attention to her and never leaves her side. If something happens and it is inconvenient to take her with her, she will also send her most trusted mother Shi to be by her side.

serve

No wonder the three children played together.

I don’t know what’s urgent about the fifth lady.

While thinking about it, Sister Xin turned towards Xu Sizhen and called her brother, as if she was clamoring for him.

Seeing this, Xu Sizhen hurriedly ran over and took Sister Xin's hand.

Sister Xin calmed down, leaned on the wet nurse, and sobbed quietly.

Oh, the wet nurse said with a smile, it turns out that what our sister likes the most is the Fourth Young Master, who can't help but have a bit of flattery in his tone.

Xu Sizhen lowered his head in embarrassment.

Everyone laughed.

Eleven Niang stepped forward and saluted the Dowager Madam.

The madam smiled and nodded, pointing to the Kang mat opposite her for her to sit on: Is Fu Zhen okay?

Fortunately, Eleven Niang sat down with a smile, and a little maid served tea. Although she was still a little depressed, her complexion was much better than before.

She is young and has a long life ahead of her. The wife sighed slightly when she heard this. It would be nice to be able to slowly catch her breath like this.

The Dowager Madam is also a widow, so she naturally has a lot of experience.

Eleven Niang didn’t want to make Mrs. Tai sad, so she changed the subject with a smile: Why don’t you see your fifth younger brother and sister?

She was a little hot. The madam smiled and said that she was afraid that the illness would spread to the child, so she kept Sister Xin in my room for a few days.

No wonder several children played together.

The medical conditions in ancient times were so poor. A little bit of cold could kill someone.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but worry: "It doesn't matter what the doctor said."

Dr. Liu said that he would be fine after taking a few doses of medicine. The wife smiled and said, I sent Mother Du to check it out. She said that she was sweating all over after taking the medicine. She had just rested.

Then I'll go see her tomorrow

As he was talking, the silver bell-like laughter of children came over.

The Eleventh Mother and Mrs. Tai couldn't help but look around and saw three little heads coming together. You and I were pulling a toy like a chicken pecking at rice, and they were having a great time playing with it.

Looking at the innocent smiles of the children, the two of them couldn't help but smile.

Mrs. Tai took the eleventh mother's hand and said: I am old now, and I just want to entertain my grandson and enjoy happiness. If there are any guests at home in the future, except for old sisters like Mrs. Huang, you can just help entertain them.

No need to bring it to me.

Eleven Niang was very surprised, but more importantly, she was moved.

She knew that the Queen Mother did not want to see the Yang family, but the Queen Mother was still alive after all. The Yang family and the Xu family were in the same social circle, and they had to keep their heads up but not their heads down, and they had to take care of face matters more or less. This is why she was in the Marquis of Jianning

One of the reasons why Madam chose to avoid it when she came to visit her was that she wanted to tactfully remind the Yang family in this way. However, she never expected that Madam Tai would support her like this, without any embarrassment or blame.

She also gave her the Xu family’s social rights with the outside world.

The mother-in-law couldn't help but shake the wife's hand.

The wife smiled and patted her hand: Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. What did you say after staying at Fu Zhen's place all afternoon? How is the situation in the Gan family now?

My wife and I sent someone early yesterday morning to ask me to post a post and invite me to listen to a play at my new home.

Eleven Niang needed the Madam to know, so she was not polite to the Madam. She smiled and took the Madam's kindness into her heart, and picked up some interesting things to talk to the Madam.

When Mrs. Gan heard that Mrs. Gan took the initiative to provide Mrs. Gan with morning and dusk relief, she nodded slightly: I am the old and the old and the old and the young and the young. If she can treat others well and do what she says, the Gan family will be here.

It won’t be a total failure. When I heard that someone came to Xipuli to make up for their clothes, I was even more happy for them: I have to thank Shun Wangcai properly. Then I will talk to him to see if there is such a business. Remember to ask for it in the future.

I'll take care of you. The first two years of doing business are a bit difficult, but it will be fine after these two years.

Eleven Niang responded with a smile. She saw Sister Xin laughing and yawning at the same time. She was afraid that she might not be able to sleep well if she got too excited by playing with her, so she smiled and stood up to leave.

Mrs. Tai thought that she would be a guest at someone else's house for a day, so she didn't want to stay and asked Mama Du to send her and Xu Sijie out.

Back in the house, Xu Lingyi had taken a shower and rested, and was reading a book on the bed. When he saw her coming back, he smiled and asked her: How did she feel better after talking to Mrs. Gan for a day?

She said it as if she was leaving in anger.

Eleven Niang was furious. But she looked at Xu Lingyi with a smile: Friends are one of the five moral ethics. When Sun Tzu talks about friends, there are three benefits and three losses. The relationship is lifelong and cannot be ignored. I am just following the words of the sage.

, I went to see my straight friend and my best friend, and naturally I felt better.

Xu Lingyi laughed after hearing this.

Eleven Niang went to wash herself and ignored him.

When Xu Lingyi came out, there was still a smile on her eyebrows. She pretended not to notice it and blew the light to rest, but she was immediately hugged by Xu Lingyi.

Silently, silently, he sighed softly, little fool, don't look for trouble in the future.

Could it be that I was really too cautious?

Eleven Niang was very confused.

Two days later, Mrs. Zhou came unexpectedly.

Mrs. Marquis Jianning is coming to visit me. She sneered, and I made an excuse to make an appointment with you to go to the store together today, pick some things, and hand her over to the princess.

Eleven Niang was not surprised.

Since Mrs. Jianninghou came to visit him, she would naturally also visit Mrs. Zhou.

When Zhou Huiren saw her calm expression, his mind turned around and he immediately understood: She is also here to see you.

Eleven Niang nodded and said with a smile: I, like you, avoided it.

Mrs. Zhou sighed when she heard this: She really thinks of herself as a thing and runs around here and there. I want to see what good she can get.

From that tone, it seemed as if she was dissatisfied with what Princess Fucheng said about coming and going as serious relatives.

But this is a private matter after all. Eleven Niang didn’t want to pry too much, so she asked Mrs. Zhou: Then do you want to go to Xipu to have a look?

I did come to you to buy things. Mrs. Zhou said a few words and her tone gradually became calmer. I have two personal maids who are very popular with me. They will be released in the next few days and I will prepare for them.

The full set of dowry is not in vain for the service I have given you.

Her words moved Eleven Niang's heart, and she gradually came up with an idea.

If the maids in various prefectures can be proud to order a dowry in their wedding shop when they get married, then their wedding shop will have its own brand.

The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to her. While she was thinking about finding an opportunity to discuss it with the two shopkeepers, Master Jian, she freshened up, and after meeting Mrs. Zhou with Mrs. Zhou, they went to Xipu together.

Mrs. Zhou lingered there for two hours, not only choosing two pairs of dowries, but also buying several square handkerchiefs for herself. It was obvious that she was very satisfied with the embroidery in her shop.

After leaving the house, Eleven Niang thought she would go back to the princess's house directly, but who knew that she took Eleven Niang's arm and said: Anyway, I came out in your name, so I will simply make trouble for you to go back to your house to eat.

Go for dinner

Shopping, complaining and indulgence can allay your inner unhappiness.

Eleven Niang could understand her mood and said with a smile: If you don’t tell me, I want to take you back for dinner.

Then I'm not welcome. Mrs. Zhou smiled and went back to the lotus with Eleven Niang.

As soon as the two got off the carriage in front of Chuihua Gate, Eleven Niang saw a young man accompanying Mrs. Zhou running over in a hurry.

Madam, Mrs. Jianninghou left. He was breathing heavily. According to the old custom of entertaining relatives, the princess asked Mrs. Jianninghou to stand in the middle of the main hall and answer the question. As the young man spoke, a gloating smile appeared in his eyes, and he

Mrs. Jianninghou was so angry that the aunt next to the princess said that her relatives had always been like this, so we couldn't make an exception for her.

Mrs. Zhou laughed when she heard this.

While smiling, she also looked at Eleven Niang with some pride: Our home is a princess's house. There are rules and decency for entertaining Mrs. Hou, and there are rules and decency for entertaining relatives when entertaining relatives. She doesn't do that.

Since the lady is going to be a relative of the princess, she naturally has no choice but to entertain her in the same way as a relative.

Only then did Eleven Niang understand Princess Fucheng’s intention.

The princess is a royal noble, even the prince-in-law will kneel down and worship her when she sees her, let alone a relative.
