The house full of guests and the joy of meeting each other made Eleven Niang reluctant to ask too many questions. Collection ~ Niuwen.com http:.23us.

.23us. She suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, until the lanterns came on, the Madam looked a little tired, everyone dispersed, and then she had the opportunity to talk to Sister Zhen in the old inner room of Lijingxuan.

talk.

What happened just now? Eleven Niang asked her, and suddenly she said something like "I'm sorry" or "I'm sorry".

Sister Zhen's face turned red and she murmured a few words, her voice was like a gnat. It was really hard to hear what she was saying.

Eleven Niang smiled and said: If you don’t say it this time, I don’t know when you will have the chance to say it. You have to think clearly whether you want to say it or not.

Sister Zhen will return to Cangzhou in three days. From then on, she will spend her morning and evening time and be the daughter-in-law of the Shao family.

Me, I'm afraid that my mother will be worried. Sister Zhen's face turned even redder.

Eleven Niang was stunned: I'm afraid that I'm afraid of what I'm worried about.

Sister Zhen thought that Eleven Niang was making fun of her. Qiqi Ai Ai said: Mother said, without this, there is also that, let me not always think about guarding against others, but to think about what to do. When she said this, her face was like a morning glow,

I can't say any more.

Only then did Eleven Niang understand.

She couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Mainly because she was quite nervous that day. She talked a lot, some of which she couldn't even remember.

Shao Zhongran had a wife who was close to her. Eleven Niang was afraid that Sister Zhen would be jealous after her son got married, so she suggested that instead of keeping an eye on several of her brothers-in-law, she might as well find a way to show off her own advantages and make Shao Zhongran reluctant to leave her.

She didn't expect Sister Zhen to understand at the time. Now it seems that Sister Zhen has obviously understood.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but smile slightly.

Sister Zhen stood up with some embarrassment: I will pour a cup of tea for my mother.

No need, Eleven Niang said with a smile, you came from Cangzhou and before you could take a breath, you were chatting with the wife to entertain relatives at home, and you never had a good rest. It's getting late, you can go to bed. If you have anything to say, we'll talk to you tomorrow.

Say it again.

Sister Zhen knew that Eleven Niang's health had been damaged since she gave birth to Brother Jin, and she had been having a good life these years, so she didn't dare to stay longer to see her out.

But the words in her heart felt like they were stuck in her throat, making her unable to spit them out.

She couldn't help but call her mother.

There should be a bit of hesitation in the voice.

Thinking of her somewhat cowardly nature, Eleven Niang stopped in her tracks with a smile.

Zhuxiang winked at the little maids and told them to stand at a distance.

Sister Zhen looked at it and gained some courage to speak.

Mother. She looked at Eleven Niang with some embarrassment. My husband has been resting in my room these days, and said, just as mother said, her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.

Eleven Niang understood.

It has been a month since Sister Zhen got married, and she is not pregnant, so she must have come to have a baby. According to the convention, she should arrange to share a room with her when she is a baby. She has been resting in her room. In other words, Shao Zhongran refused.

The waiter in the common room went to bed.

She couldn't help but sigh softly in her heart, shook Sister Zhen's hand vigorously, and said nothing for a while.

Sister Zhen is satisfied.

The corners of her mouth were raised high, forming a pleasant arc.

After seeing Sister Zhen off, the family began to prepare for the New Year in full swing.

Mrs. Xiang suddenly returned to Yanjing.

She came to say hello to the Madam.

The fourth lady had not seen each other for several years, and her appearance was even more beautiful. Mrs. Xiang was socializing with Eleven Niang, but her eyes fell on Brother Jin, showing a look of longing. When I left, there was no trace of this dazzling look.

, the sixth young master ran away on the ground

Mrs. Tai saw it in her eyes and laughed and said: As the saying goes, you only worry about living, not raising. Then she asked about the children, Yi Jia should be twenty-one this year, right? Whose daughter is she talking about?

Has the wedding date been promised?

Mrs. Xiang's expression became a little embarrassed after hearing this.

Yijia hadn't decided to get married yet, so he sighed helplessly as he said that he had failed for two years in a row. The master sent him to Jiaxing Temple to study in anger. During this period, there were matchmakers who came to marry him, but the master rejected them all.

I just said that I had no idea how to start a family without establishing a career, so I had to watch helplessly as Yijia dragged on until today.

The madam smiled and comforted her: after getting married and having someone to take care of her, she gradually regained her heart. I think the in-laws should persuade the uncle. Then she asked the three young ladies: "But all of them

good

Thanks to Mrs. Xiang, Mrs. Xiang actually felt relieved after hearing this. A few years ago, Roujin had been engaged to the eldest son of Mr. Zhou, the minister of the Ministry of Science and Industry, but only because Mr. Zhou died of illness.

The wedding has been delayed. As he said this, he asked someone to bring out a wedding invitation. I came here this time, firstly, to pay my respects to Mrs. Tai, and secondly, to get married. I wanted to invite Mrs. Tai to liven things up. After saying that, I brought out a wedding invitation.

Send out a bright red invitation with gold sprinkles.

Congratulations, Mrs. Tai received it with a smile. She saw clearly that it was written on the fourth day of February next year. She must go to watch the ceremony then.

I was waiting for Mrs. Xiang to arrive. Mrs. Xiang said a few kind words and went to the Second Madam. After all, her youngest son and eldest daughter was getting married, so she had to invite her no matter what, and she didn’t know whether to attend the ceremony or not.

, then let her

The second lady frowned slightly when she found out.

In this way, Yijia was still dragged down by the second young lady of the Han family.

Mrs. Xiang has never been soft in front of the second wife. She smiled and said: Mainly because we want to find a better family for Yijia.

Doesn’t she know what kind of temper her brother has?

My brother is an heir, so he really wants to have a grandson. What's more, it is common for a scholar to fail the exam once or twice, and there are also those who have to take the exam ten times or eight times before they get what they want. Others don't know, but my brother studied and became an official, and he is a scholar.

How could someone who has gone all the way to become a scholar like this not know that he would never reject someone else's marriage proposal because of this?

She can deceive others, but she cannot deceive herself

The second lady smiled faintly.

In Mrs. Xiang's eyes, she always felt a little sarcastic.

She was unhappy, and after saying a few words, she wanted to go back home. No matter how the second wife, the fourth wife, and the Tai Madam persuaded them to stay for dinner, she insisted on leaving: She had just come back, and there were a lot of things to do. She would come back to the Tai Madam and several others some other time.

Madam greetings

Seeing that Mrs. Xiang had decided to leave, Mrs. Tai asked Eleven Niang to escort her out of the Chuihua Gate.

It seems that the rumors about Xiang's eldest son, Kefu, are true. Mrs. Tai was discussing the Xiang family affairs with Mama Du in a low voice.

Mother Du thought of the previous incident with the eldest mistress and said with a smile: This is also a matter of benevolence seeing benevolence and wisdom seeing benevolence.

The madam nodded slightly. After all, it was someone else's business, so she put it aside. On the third day of February, she dressed up and went to Xiang's house for a wedding banquet with the second wife, the eleventh mother and the fifth wife.

When Mr. Xiang was in office, Mrs. Xiang took care of everything at home. Although there were only a dozen guests at the table, it was obvious that they were all close friends. They talked very casually and joked with each other with their own allusions. The atmosphere seemed very harmonious.

Because most of them were unknown to Mrs. 11 Niang and Mrs. 5, Mrs. Xiang arranged them into a small hall separated by a screen next to the flower hall. They had their own corner, where they could hear the movements outside and not feel too lonely;

And you can avoid interacting with people outside, so as not to socialize with strangers. The arrangement is very clever.

Whenever a guest comes in, there is always a burst of noise when greetings and greetings are heard.

Someone stood in front of the screen and gossiped: The woman who saw the fragrant cloud gauze and the four-season floral silk on her arm would be the future mother-in-law of the third lady of the Xiang family.

I heard that my surname is Gong, and she is from Jingzhou, Huguang. Why are you willing to marry your daughter so far away?

Huguang is a famous family with officials for generations, and there are famous people in the family. I can’t say enough, but my future uncle is a diligent and studious person. He will first study in the Imperial College for a few years, and then work as a postgraduate in the Hanlin Academy for a few years, and wait until he can be released.

, has already passed the age. On the contrary, if you find a good friend from your hometown and don't go out to be an official, you always feel that your child has no future; if you go out to become an official, you leave your hometown and your daughter stays alone in the boudoir, which is no different from Wang Baoyao.

You open your mouth and the other one laughs and talks teasingly. Listening to your tone, it is such a simple matter to be a Jinshi to explore flowers or something.

The lady sitting inside smiled: It turns out that the third lady of the Xiang family is going to marry Hu Guang. But I don’t know whose family the second lady is betrothed to.

Just as he was talking, the second lady walked in.

Her eyes were a little red, as if she had cried.

The madam knew her temperament and pulled her to her side: What's going on?

The second lady was a little embarrassed and said: I just felt a little emotional when I saw Rou Jin getting married.

Everyone laughed.

The fifth lady asked about the Zhou family: Where are they from? Yongfeng, Jiangxi.

The fifth lady said: "The eldest lady is married to Yongfeng in Guangxi. The third lady is married to Jingzhou in Huguang. Mrs. Xiang is really generous. I just don't know to whom Sister Erbu is betrothed."

I didn’t ask the second lady and said with a smile, the water thrown by the married daughter.

I just wanted to have a wedding banquet then, but the air was stagnant and the atmosphere seemed a bit cold.

The fifth lady also vaguely heard rumors that the second lady wanted to betroth the second lady of the Xiang family to the second young master.

If it were someone else, she would definitely have to make a joke, but when it came to the second lady, she couldn't help but hesitate.

Eleven Niang felt a little uneasy in her heart.

The failure of this matter had a lot to do with her.

She went back and asked Xu Lingyi: Is the Zhou family in Yongfeng, Jiangxi, the local Wangwang?

Yes, Xu Lingyi said with a smile, every generation in his family has someone who has become an official. From the previous dynasty to the present, there have been about twenty dozen Jinshis in the family. So someone once joked that there is no time for officials.

Eleven Niang thought for a while and told Xu Lingyi about the marriage between the Xiang family and the Zhou family.

Xu Lingyi didn't think too much and said: Mr. Xiang is quite far-sighted.

Just as he was talking, a little maid came in and said: Mr. Hou, madam, Mother Fang who is next to the eldest mistress is here.

It's so late, why? Eleven Niang murmured to the hall, and quickly came back: Mr. Hou, the eldest mistress has diagnosed a happy pulse, and Mother Fang has been ordered by the eldest young master and eldest mistress to come here to tell the good news~
