It's said that it was entrusted to Tao's mother.

In fact, Tao's mother spent most of her time helping the late Fourth Madam to fight with the mothers in charge, or recuperating the late Fourth Madam's body. At that time, although the late Fourth Madam had had a miscarriage for almost a year, her body was

But not clean.

It's not too early.

Even if it is too late, sometimes it takes ten days and a half.

Mother Tao was extremely anxious. She only asked questions about us every once in a while and if she had anything to say.

Let our mother, who was placed in our respective rooms by the late fourth wife, help spread the word.

In other words, these aunts are like cattle grazing.

Eleven Niang muttered: Then how could Aunt Tong have a miscarriage?

I don't know the specific situation very well. Aunt Wen said frankly.

I can only tell Madam what I knew at the time.

She recalled: I remember it was mid-spring of the fifty-third year of Jianwu. The second master died of illness suddenly.

On the eighth day of April, I went to Yaowang Temple to pay homage to Yaowang. Early in the morning.

When several of our aunts went over to pay their respects to the late Fourth Madam.

The late fourth lady was discussing with Tao's mother about arranging carriages and horses to go to Yaowang Temple. Tao's mother asked the late fourth lady to go with the wife to worship at Yaowang Temple and pray for peace and health. The late fourth lady

She was a little excited when she heard that, but she was also worried that she would have no one to take care of things at home after she left. She couldn't help but feel a little hesitant. Tao's mother patted her chest and said that she was responsible for the family affairs. Only then did the late Fourth Madam make up her mind to go to Yaowang Temple with the Tai Madam.

Worship the Medicine King.

Mrs. Tao happily went to the outer courtyard to spread the word. We served breakfast to the late Fourth Lady. The late Fourth Lady was in a good mood at that time.

He also said that Aunt Tong had a pointed belly.

Maybe it's a son.

Aunt Tong and Aunt Qin were each given a plate of pine nut cake. After the meal, the little maid was asked to bring some pies and we sat down and asked about the children with great interest.

Listening to this, Eleven Niang suddenly interrupted Aunt Wen's words: If you reward Aunt Tong and Aunt Qin with pine nut cakes, what should you reward Aunt Wen with?

Aunt Wen looked slightly embarrassed: I was pregnant when I told her, and my wet nurse told me not to eat randomly. I was afraid that everyone would misunderstand me, so I just said I had no appetite in front of outsiders.

Over time.

No one forced me to eat.

I'm afraid that someone will tamper with the food, right?

With Yuanniang’s intelligence.

It was impossible not to see it. Now that she had seen it, with her temperament, it was impossible for her to lower herself to embarrass a concubine.

Eleven Niang smiled slightly.

Aunt Wen didn't deny it either.

After careful consideration, he said: The late fourth lady had a bad temper. Continue i

It didn't take long before Aunt Tong and Aunt Qin were trained to be obedient. I was new to the road.

I can't help but feel a little wary, and my expression is a bit sly.

Eleven Niang can understand.

Weiwei nodded: Then what happened next?

Aunt Wen said: I was very hungry at the time, so I excused myself and went back to the house. When I went to serve lunch at noon, I found that the atmosphere had completely changed.

His hands were tightly clenched into fists.

Her face was as heavy as water, looking at Mother Tao standing in front of her.

And Tao's mother's face was livid, and the corners of her mouth were trembling.

Looking extremely defeated, Aunt Tong and Aunt Su stood side by side next to the floor covering as if they were walking on thin ice.

I didn't dare to say anything loudly. I saw something was wrong and didn't know what was going on. I was thinking about what to say.

I saw Aunt Tong wink at me and say.

Her eyes dimmed slightly.

Sighing as lightly as the spring breeze.

Biyu is not only good-looking, but also kind to others.

Her temperament was just too docile, so her tone stopped.

He wanted to speak but stopped.

Is it because the listener is Yuan Niang’s sister and it’s inconvenient to speak, or is it because I can’t express my feelings for Aunt Tong accurately in words?

Eleven Niang picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. Only then did she realize that the tea was already cold.

I watched and quietly walked aside. Aunt Wen said in a low voice that she had just stood still.

The late Fourth Madam suddenly glanced at me coldly and ordered Mother Tao to prepare the meal. Mother Tao looked very unwilling.

After a long while, he responded in a low voice.

Yes, she retreated. Aunt Tong looked at it and hurriedly stepped forward to pour a new cup of hot tea for the late fourth lady. The late fourth lady drank the tea.

My face looked much better and the atmosphere relaxed a lot. I took the opportunity to step forward and say a few words of laughter.

Just then, Mother Tao directed the rough messenger mother to come in with lunch. A few of us helped place chopsticks, and the late fourth lady waved her hand and asked us to leave.

Tao's mother was left alone to talk.

I quietly asked Aunt Tong what happened.

Aunt Tong told me that Tao’s mother went to the outer courtyard to find the steward to arrange carriages and horses for the eighth day of April. However, the steward in charge of carriages and horses later said that several carriages had broken axles and had not been repaired.

After a while, he said that the coach driver didn't have enough people, but the manager Bai hadn't hired anyone yet.

Push three and block four.

In short, they couldn't get the carriage they needed. Mother Tao had no way to go to Manager Bai. Manager Bai personally took his personal servant to the stable to pick horses and carriages. Only then did the matter of the carriages be settled.

Who would have thought that the concubine whom the Marquis specially invited, the cousin of the Dowager Queen, would come at this time. The old sisters had not seen each other for decades, so they had a great bond. The Dowager Lady had to invite this concubine to go to Yaowang with her.

Temple. But in this case, a few more carriages will be needed.

The late fourth lady thought about adding a few more carriages.

After a lot of trouble, I told Mother Tao when I returned home that I was not going to Yaowang Temple.

Tao's mother disagreed and said, if someone doesn't go.

It should be because the widowed second wife is not going.

Or the third lady, who was pregnant, didn't go. The lady who had no chance of presiding over the middle ceremony didn't go. They also said that if the deceased fourth lady was too embarrassed to tell the second lady.

She goes and talks.

The late fourth lady became anxious after hearing this. She said that if the second lady asked why she was not allowed to go.

Could it be that a carriage is not enough? The second lady has presided over the middle court in the inner courtyard.

He also helped the wife manage the outer courtyard and what was going on at home.

She knows best. As soon as these words come out.

Wouldn't she be laughed out of her wits?

They said that I, a dignified Madam Yongpinghou, could not even maneuver the carriages at home.

Tao's mother thought it was reasonable and suggested that the third lady not go. The late fourth lady also disagreed. She said that the third lady was the most stingy person.

She refused to suffer even the slightest loss. She knew that her family members would go out to visit the Zen monastery, but she would not be allowed to go.

She didn't even go to the madam's house and it would be even more shameless for the madam to ask.

Tao's mother also became anxious. She said, "The world is big and the earth is big, but it is not as big as the children. Is it possible to just give in like this?"

The late fourth lady's face became very ugly after hearing this. She didn't say anything for a long time and finally decided not to go.

Tao's mother felt sorry for the deceased fourth wife.

So to say.

My eldest sister and Mother Tao were both unhappy because of this incident. Eleven Niang asked Aunt Wen.

And she was never very happy. Aunt Wen nodded and her mother, who was in charge of needlework, came over in the afternoon.

As a rule, at this time in previous years, the clothing materials for autumn clothes have already been decided. What should I do this year if I ask the stewards of the outer courtyard to help order them.

I have to take the right cards and tell the outer court: If the inner court decides it by itself.

You also need to place a deposit early, otherwise.

Qiu Shang couldn't get out.
