Chapter 46: Watching the show

Eleven Niang supported Yuan Niang and walked slowly towards the main house.

On the way, Eleven Niang felt Yuan Niang's body getting heavier and heavier, so she couldn't help but slow down her steps and said softly: Do you want to take a rest?

Yuan Niang looked at her with a smile on her side, her eyebrows slightly raised, but the corners of her mouth curled up with a strange expression: "Don't say anything."

Eleven Niang was a little strange, but she still obeyed her words and quietly carried her up the steps of the main house.

The door to the main room was ajar, and the windows on the east and west sides were half-open, as if they were being opened for ventilation.

She supported Yuanniang with one hand and pushed the door open with the other.

As soon as my fingertips touched the door, I suddenly heard a man yelling: Who is outside the door?

Eleven Niang was shocked, her hand trembled, and she slapped the door. The door creaked open.

A woman's low exclamation came from inside the room.

someone

This was the first thought that flashed into Eleven Niang's mind.

And it's a boy and a girl

This was the second thought that flashed into Eleven Niang's mind.

She was stunned, and then a vague feeling arose in her heart.

Yuanniang, who had been leaning weakly on her shoulder, now stood up straight and said loudly: "Who is talking inside?" She quickly held the door frame, raised her feet and walked in.

Eleven Niang saw Yuan Niang staggering, hesitated for a moment, hurriedly rushed forward to help Yuan Niang, and saw a man walking out of the west wing at a fast pace.

He was tall and straight, handsome in appearance, and wore a moon-white coat. When he saw Yuan Niang, he looked slightly surprised: Yuan Niang's tone was full of disbelief.

Yuan Niang was speechless: Mr. Hou, why are you here?

Marquis Yongping Hou Xu Lingyi

Eleven Niang's eyes twitched, and she couldn't help but look at the man opposite.

He looks to be in his mid-twenties. He has fair skin and a pair of large, long, and piercing eyes. The look between his eyebrows gives him a calm and capable look as he ages.

She was quite surprised.

I didn't expect Xu Lingyi to be so young.

He stared at Yuanniang without answering, but frowned slightly.

Yuanniang looked at him and snorted coldly, pushed Eleven Niang away, stumbled past him and entered the west wing.

Xu Lingyi watched her enter the house, neither helping nor stopping her.

Eleven Niang thought of the woman’s exclamation she just heard.

It's really a leaky house, and it's raining continuously. Shi Niang's matter has not been resolved yet, and now he has entered a place he shouldn't have entered.

She tiptoed backwards, wanting to hide in a corner and become a high-ranking figure that no one noticed. If she could turn into dust, she wouldn't have any objections.

But at this time, not wanting to be noticed has become a luxury.

A sharp gaze fell on her.

Who are you? A cold light flashed in the eyes of the person who asked.

A little girl with a flower-like appearance, exquisite eyebrows, low-key but gorgeous clothes, elegant gestures, and a quiet temperament, you can tell she belongs to a certain family at a glance.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

What is supposed to come will always come

My concubine is the eleventh mother of the Luo family. She bent her knees and gave Xu Lingyi a blessing ceremony. Her voice was calm and gentle, and she said hello to Mr. Hou.

Xu Lingyi was slightly startled: Luo family

Eleven Niang smiled: Exactly

Xu Lingyi opened her mouth and was about to say something when Yuan Niang rushed out, holding a moon-white skirt embroidered with bamboo, plum and orchid ruffles.

Xu Lingyi, she burst into tears, I'm not dead yet

A word of hatred, but with a sad tone, making people feel sad.

Xu Lingyi stared at Yuanniang without saying a word, with a serious expression, which made Eleven Niang feel strange in her heart.

Yuan Niang was heartbroken, and her already thin body was trembling and crumbling.

Eleven Niang hurriedly stepped forward to help Yuan Niang.

Xu Lingyi turned around and sat on the grand master's chair in the hall with a calm expression. Then he said to Eleven Niang in a deep voice: "You go out first, your sister and I have something to say." There was a hint of exhaustion in his tone.

Eleven Niang didn't dare to think too much, didn't dare to look too much, she lowered her eyelids, bowed her knees respectfully, said yes, turned around and was about to go out.

Who knows, a woman wearing a pink jacket suddenly rushed out of the west wing room and almost bumped into Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang instinctively took a step back, but she glanced at the woman's face from the corner of her eyes and stayed in place as if struck by lightning.

You have misunderstood that the Marquis and I really don’t have any sweet and beautiful voices. My sleeves were torn in the garden just now. I just want to use this place to change clothes. She pulled Yuan Niang’s sleeves and begged, really

Yes, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Miss Gan’s seventh daughter. I was flying a kite with her just now.

Yuanniang stood there and sneered.

With tears in her eyes, she turned around and begged Xu Lingyi: "Master Hou took two steps, but felt something was wrong again, and stopped where he was at a loss. I really don't know that you really don't know here." She covered her face and cried.

stand up.

Eleven Niang suddenly woke up. She quickly lowered her head and walked out quietly.

It turned out to be Qiao Lianfang, the sixth daughter of the Qiao family

How could she appear here?

No, why did Yuanniang appear here?

She didn't even go out to greet her mother, whom she hadn't seen for more than ten years, when she came to visit, but instead came to Dianchundang for a few ladies who were well-connected with the family.

Eleven Niang closed the door gently.

I also thought that when I came here just now, the door was ajar and the window was half-open.

As soon as she stood still, she saw Aunt Wen walking over with twinkling eyes.

Behind the door there were Yuan Niang's sad and angry voice and Miss Qiao's low cry.

Eleven Niang sighed and said loudly: Aunt Wen, why are you here?

There was sudden silence behind him.

She has become as clear as a mirror. Yuanniang doesn't want to make this matter go away.

Aunt Wen has already climbed up the steps. Miss, why are you standing here?

Eleven Niang smiled slightly: The eldest sister said she was a little tired and wanted to take a rest.

Aunt Wen stood on tiptoe, looked over her shoulder and looked in, and said absently: Do you want me to pour my sister a cup of hot tea?

Aunt Wen is Xu Lingyi's concubine, and her relationship with Yuanniang is like that of a superior and a subordinate.

As soon as the thought flashed, Eleven Niang already smiled and said: Then there is Auntie Lao. I was just going to pour a cup of tea for the eldest sister. I didn’t know the place well, so I didn’t dare to wander around.

Aunt Wen was startled when she heard this.

She didn't expect that Eleven Niang would actually instruct her.

Eleven Niang saw her expression clearly and looked at her with a smile: "Auntie, please help me make a cup of hot tea."

Aunt Wen's face darkened, her eyes turned, and she smiled again: "Then I'll go make tea for my sister."

He turned around and walked down the steps, looking back.

If anyone else comes, I will definitely not be able to stop them.

No matter what the truth of this matter is, Yuan Niang is his sister, Xu Lingyi is his brother-in-law, and there are a circle of ladies sitting outside.

Eleven Niang watched Aunt Wen's back disappear before her eyes, and then hurriedly followed her. She poked her head towards the hall next to the Taihu Stone, and saw a little maid standing on the steps, and hurriedly waved to the maid.

The maid was from Yuan Niang's house. She was very clever and ran over immediately.

Eleven Niang smiled and asked her: What is your name?

The maid smiled and said: My name is Wen Lian.

Oh, Wen Lian. Eleven Niang smiled kindly, I have something urgent to do, so you secretly called Mother Tao for me so that no one would know. As she said that, there was a bit of shyness in her smile.

Are you going to the clean room?

Wen Lian guessed, smiled and agreed, then turned around and called for Tao's mother.

Eleven Niang pulled Tao’s mother to the center of the yard.

The eldest sister of Mr. Hou and the sixth daughter of the Qiao family were both in the room. She spoke to Tao's mother concisely and concisely while observing her expression.

Tao's mother looked at Eleven Niang with a little surprise, but she was not shocked.
