Chapter 44: Watching a Play (Part 1)
Chapter 44: Watching the Opera
Shi Niang turned around and raised her chin slightly. Although she looked at Wu Niang with a smile, there was a trace of contempt in her eyes: Sister, why should you get angry? I will tell you later.
All the smart people in the room saw that the two Luo sisters were at odds with each other, and all of them sat on the sidelines.
Shiniang appeared inexplicably, the eldest lady gave her a cold look, and her brother's situation was unclear. At this moment, Shiniang's provocation made Wu Niang, who was not very calm, immediately fall into a rage. Her eyes were burning, and she stepped forward two times.
Stepping forward, he opened his mouth to scold Shi Niang, but was stopped in time by Eleven Niang on the side.
The tenth sister must mean what she says. Eleventh Niang tilted her head slightly and smiled playfully. Otherwise, go back and tell your mother that you borrowed our rouge and won't pay it back. Let your mother scold you. After that, she winked at Wu Niang, Fifth Sister.
, do you think it’s okay?
Eleven Niang's seemingly soft and weak slender fingers squeezed Wu Niang's arm tightly, causing her to feel a burst of pain. But it was precisely because of this pain that she quickly woke up. When Eleven Niang said what she wanted to tell her mother,
By then, she had calmed down.
Yes, mother still has the final say in everything.
The fourth brother was timid, so even if he let Shiniang out, he would definitely have been deceived. Even if his mother punished him, it would be nothing more than grounding him from the house and taking away his monthly routine. As time went by, and the third aunt was helping to beg for mercy, it was over.
If I had done something impolite at this moment, embarrassed myself, and damaged the reputation of the Luo family, the small plan in my heart would never be realized. The benefits would have been in vain for Eleven Niang.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Eleven Niang.
The sister who was always modest and tolerant in front of him was looking at her with worry in her eyes.
I'm afraid she'll mess around
Wu Niang suddenly felt guilty in her heart.
He was always on guard against her, but at such a critical moment, she helped him because Si Yi Niang had learned from the past. Her mother would never let Shi Niang enter the Xu family. Therefore, as long as Eleven Niang remained silent, the snipe and the clam would fight.
The lucky one is Shiyiniang, a fisherman. But she gave up this opportunity.
The thought flashed past.
But there was a voice in her heart telling her: Maybe Eleven Niang didn't know the stakes at all, and just chose to help her out of dislike for Shiniang. After all, when Shiniang lived above Eleven Niang,
I bullied her often
It’s a long story, and Wu Niang’s mood only happened for a moment. Seeing that the eyes of everyone in the room fell on her, she smiled and said: Eleven sisters have a good idea. If ten sisters don’t tell us, we will go back
Tell her mother to teach her a lesson. As she speaks, she laughs, with a hint of excitement in her cheerful expression, as if she is joking with her sisters.
Eleven Niang looked at Wu Niang's expression, which was bright and dark at times. Finally, she said that Eleven Niang had a good idea and once again put the responsibility on herself.
She was very disappointed that Wu Niang was so selfish that she didn't care about the overall situation. Haven't you heard of the saying that no egg can be completed when the whole family is together?
When other people see their sisters fighting like this, they must find it funny.
His heart moved, and his eyes couldn't stop glancing at everyone in the room.
Everyone has different expressions.
Qiao Lianfang's eyes flashed, as if she was not afraid of the height of the stage when watching a show; Miss Tang had a sarcastic look on her face; Miss Lin lowered her head to straighten the folds of her dress, as if she didn't notice what was going on here; the Gan family
The third lady's mouth curled up slightly, but she hesitated to speak; the seventh lady of the Gan family looked at Eleven Niang with her eyes wide open, her eyes filled with wonder.
Eleven Niang could understand the other people's expressions. One of the two young ladies from the Gan family seemed to be full of sympathy for their affairs, and the other seemed to be very curious about her.
Eleven Niang's heart moved, but Shiniang's laughter came to her ears: You came to your mother to accuse me again.
But before she finished speaking, the third lady appeared at the screen: Lord Marquis has left, let’s continue listening to the play.
Naturally, everyone could say nothing more. The Gan sisters who were closest to the screen took the lead and filed out and sat down again.
Eleven Niang noticed that Shiniang moved her brocade towards the seventh girl of the Gan family. When the play started, she started whispering with the seventh girl of the Gan family.
Wu Niang also appeared.
She couldn't follow the show and kept looking at them. However, Mrs. Qiao's wife who was sitting opposite saw her.
When the scene was changed after the third song, Mrs. Qiao suddenly said: We are here to listen to the opera, so don’t worry about the children. Look at the young ladies from the Luo family and the young ladies from the Gan family. They can’t sit still for a long time.
Everyone's eyes turned to him at once, especially the look from the eldest lady, which was as sharp as a blade.
Eleven Niang sat there elegantly, smiling slightly.
Wu Niang turned around and glared at Shi Niang, which earned Shi Niang a disapproving smile.
The seventh young lady of the Gan family simply stood up, ignoring her sister who was tugging on her lapel. She pouted and said coquettishly to the madam: I want to fly a kite, I don’t want to listen to a show.
Mrs. Tai seemed to like those lively and lovely children. She smiled indulgently and said: Go, go. Then she called a mother named Du next to her: You took Miss Gan's seventh daughter to the library to see what she likes.
Kite. After thinking about it, I checked the ladies in the room and found out who else wanted to fly the kite. It would also prevent you from being uncomfortable while we were writhing around while listening to the play, and we would also be uncomfortable.
Everyone laughed.
Shi Niang stood up with a smile and said loudly: Madam, I want to go too
The madam laughed: good, good, good. She looked like she liked it very much.
The fifth mother was a little hesitant, but the eleventh mother smiled and said: I'd better watch the show. I don't know if Cai Bojie will agree to live in the home of Prime Minister Niu. Her tone sounded like she was still looking forward to it.
She felt that the situation today was very complicated, and the best way was to stay calm, follow the eldest lady, and let her watch under her nose. There would always be nothing wrong.
The madam nodded and looked at Miss Lin.
Miss Lin smiled slightly and said: I want to see the Second Madam
Eleven Niang saw Mrs. Qiao, Mrs. Tang, Qiao Lianfang and Miss Tang changing their expressions slightly, looking at Miss Lin with very uncertain eyes.
The last time I came to see my cousin Danyang, I was favored by the Second Madam and gave me some pieces of Chengxintang paper. Under the gazes of several people, Miss Lin looked calm and elegant as before. I got a volume of the Chunhua Edition of Erwangfu a few days ago.
I would like to give this note to the second lady.
The wife was so happy that she said yes repeatedly, and said: "That post is very precious. What will you do if I give it to Yizhen? I have in my hand a picture of Xia Gui's picture of the moon over the pine stream." After saying that, she called Wei
Zi, go and get it for Miss Lin.
After hearing this, Miss Lin quickly stood up and declined: How could I accept your gift?
The madam smiled and waved her hand: "I am also a red-fenced beauty. I know you like painting."
Miss Lin thought about it for a moment, then bowed her knees and thanked the Madam generously: If I had known this, I should have found some Buddhist stickers to exchange paintings with the Madam.
The madam laughed after hearing this: I am just old enough, but she swallowed the rest of her words abruptly.
Eleven Niang felt a little strange, and quickly looked at the Third Madam and the Fifth Madam, only to see that both of them were looking at Miss Lin with a smile, and there was nothing unusual about them.
Or maybe I am too worried
She was thinking, and saw Qiao Lianfang slowly stood up, and said with a smile: I will accompany Sister Lin to see the Second Madam. Last time she told me that I could use pine flowers to make cakes. I tried it after I went back, but I didn't make it.
Cheng just went to ask for advice.
Okay, okay, okay. The madam looked at her with a smile. You each found your own favorite things to play. You feel at home, which makes me happy.
As soon as she finished speaking, Miss Tang also stood up and said with a smile: Mingyuan and I will talk together. I haven't seen the second lady for a long time. I still remember the green plum wine she brewed.
I also went to see Wu Niang gritted her teeth and suddenly stood up. The last time I drank the tea made by the Second Madam, I had been thinking about it. Now after listening to everyone talking about it, I realized that the Second Madam can not only brew tea, but also make wine.
, is good at calligraphy. Speaking of which, I also like calligraphy. I also want to see the Chunhua Pavilion Calligraphy in the hands of Miss Lin.
The expression on the eldest lady's face was a little stiff.
Eleven Niang could not wait to step forward and cover her mouth.
Since you thought of visiting a widowed second wife, why didn't you think of visiting your bedridden sister?
Shi Niang also noticed Wu Niang's eagerness. She raised the corner of her mouth, took the arm of the seventh girl of the Gan family, and asked the third girl of the Gan family with a smile: Sister Gan, are you going to fly the kite with us or with Sister Lin and the others?
Look at the second lady
The third young lady of the Gan family said hurriedly: Of course I will fly the kite with you. Otherwise, Lanting would not know what kind of trouble he would cause.
The seventh young lady of the Gan family stepped on her feet and called her sister, making everyone burst into laughter.
Eleven Niang also laughed, but said in her heart, it turns out that the seventh lady of the Gan family is called Gan Lanting, but she doesn’t know the name of the third lady of the Gan family.
Mrs. Gan sighed, looked at the two young ladies of the Gan family and smiled helplessly: "Don't cause trouble." Then she called the maid next to her: "Follow the two young ladies."
The maid hurriedly stepped forward and bent her knees in response.
In this way, the people were divided into three groups. The two young ladies of the Gan family and Shi Niang went to fly kites; Qiao Lianfang, Miss Lin family, Miss Tang family and Wu Niang went to see the second lady;
One by one, stay here to watch the show. For those who want to watch the show, just sit here. For those who want to see the Second Madam, just let Yao Huang bring a few maids to serve him. But for those who fly kites, they have some trouble, and they call
I went to the library to pick up the kite, and then went to the garden to find a suitable place. I was afraid that I would lose my footing near the water. There were many trivial matters. The third lady thought about it, and took her maid and daughter-in-law to personally arrange the arrangements for the two Miss Gan and Shi Niang.
The room became quiet.
The madam looked at the grandmothers in each government who had been silent: How about Danyang accompany you to draw cards?
The big girl from the Tang family smiled and said: "It depends on what you said. We are not fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls who only know how to play; nor are we young ladies who are inexperienced in the world. We say that food, rice, oil and salt are all vulgar. I like this."
.Listen to the opera, talk gossip, and be as happy as a god.
The madam laughed.
Eleven Niang admired her sincerely.
I'm afraid none of these grandmas sitting there smiling and saying nothing is anyone's fault.
Look at the words of the Tang family's wife. It not only points out that the two young ladies from the Gan family only know how to play, but also points out that the young lady from the Lin family does not know anything about the world. It is a huge blow to both the Gan family and the Lin family.
Thank you all for your continued support. I will join v tomorrow. Sisters, please continue as before. Thank you hehe
