This tall lady, the second lady was lying on the drunkard's chair in the study with her eyes closed, rubbing the jade armband in her hand carefully, as if all her thoughts were placed on the uneven clouds on her fingertips. Niu Wen~

Yuexiang used a red-lacquered crabapple tray to hold the autumn pear ointment contained in white sweet porcelain. When she saw the appearance of the second lady, her expression showed a bit of hesitation.

When the second wife encountered something difficult to decide, she would lie on the drunkard's chair and rub the front-facing white jade armband that the second master had left as a paperweight.

Speaking of which, she hasn't seen the second lady like this for some years.

Yuxiang hesitated whether to disturb the second lady, but the second lady had already opened her eyes: It’s Yuxiang.

Since the second lady had noticed her coming in, it was unnecessary to exit.

Yuxiang responded with a smile and walked over with the autumn pear paste.

The second lady took a few bites and then put it down. She chuckled and said, "Today's taste is a bit special, as if hawthorn was added to it."

When you eat it, Yuexiang smiles, I only put a little bit. I learned it from the Fourth Madam. The Sixth Young Master doesn’t eat well these days, so the Fourth Madam came up with this method. She was afraid that it would make her stomach upset, so she only put a little bit into each pear.

Three hawthorns. I saw that you have a bad taste these days, so I followed the example of the fourth lady and made some.

The second lady smiled and put the half-eaten bowl of Qiuli paste on the tray.

It didn't taste good. Yuxiang thought about whether she should put rock sugar in it as before.

It was delicious. The second lady smiled and said, I just don’t want to eat it now.

Take it and eat it

Yuexiang responded, lowered her head to collect the bowl and spoon. Seeing the second lady closing her eyes and lying on the drunken chair, thinking for a while, she said: Madam, did Mrs. Gao come and say something?

The second lady opened her eyes and saw the worry on Yuxiang's face, and felt warm in her heart.

She thought of what Mrs. Gao said before leaving.

I also know that your sister-in-law broke the appointment and went too far. But now your sister-in-law also regrets it. Otherwise, I would not have come to see you rashly. It is the adult's business that affects the child.

It's bad. The Double Ninth Festival is coming in two days. Your sister-in-law wants to host a banquet at home for the Tai Madam and the Fourth Madam. She would like to take this opportunity to give the Tai Madam and the Fourth Madam some company.

He pointed to the little Taozi next to him and said: "Let's sit down and talk."

Yuexiang's heart skipped a beat.

The Second Madam is not the kind of person who likes to talk to the people around her no matter what.

Mrs. Gao came here because she wanted me to come forward to help emphasize the marriage between Rou Ne and Brother Yu. The second lady looked at Chen Cheng with a green background and a blue checkered pattern, her expression seemed a little sad.

Yuxiang knew everything about what happened back then.

Okay, after hearing this, she couldn't help but be excited. The marriage between the eldest son of the Xiang family and the second young lady has gradually become a worry for the second lady. In this way, it can make up for your regrets back then. She said longingly, the second young lady has a gentle temperament and is a woman.

She is extremely popular, and she will definitely please her mother-in-law if she marries her.

The second lady said nothing, but her face showed a bit of bitterness.

Yuexiang was stunned and couldn't help but think seriously. After a long while, she thought carefully and said: Are you afraid that the fourth lady will not agree?

The second lady shook her head gently and sighed: According to my original intention, I didn’t want to take care of this matter anymore. But thinking about Rou Ne, I felt a little uneasy in my heart. But back then, my sister-in-law broke her trust, how could I do it in front of the fourth lady again?

Mention this matter

I mean I still want to mention it in front of the fourth lady.

Otherwise, why would you be so worried about gains and losses and seem so difficult to decide?

Yuexiang gave the second lady some advice: How about telling the madam that the madam also wanted to get married? And the madam loves you.

Before she finished speaking, she encountered the objection of the Second Madam: After all, the Grand Madam was a grandmother, how could she decide Yu Geer's marriage privately without the Marquis and the Fourth Madam? Even if the Fourth Madam agreed to the marriage out of filial piety,

It is also inconsistent with the etiquette, which makes the wife embarrassed. Moreover, since the fourth lady's health gradually improved, the queen has never interfered in the affairs of the inner court. First, the fourth lady has the ability to preside over the affairs of the inner court, and secondly, she also wants to make the affairs of the family legitimate.

Get up. You must know that we are all elders now. If the beam is not straight and the beam is crooked, you must not do this.

Yuxiang couldn't help but become anxious: Well, it feels a bit pity if the second young lady's marriage can be abandoned like this.

The second lady was silent for a long time.

When I thought about it more carefully, the sound sounded quite helpless.

But on the way back from greeting Mrs. Tai the next day, she unknowingly walked to the gate of Eleven Niang's courtyard.

When the little maid saw her, she hurriedly called in and the eleventh mother came out to welcome her: "How come the second sister-in-law has time to come to my place and sit down? Please come in."

Little Brother Jin followed his mother like a tail, sticking his head out to look at the second lady curiously.

The second lady couldn't help but smile knowingly, and her mood became much lighter.

She stretched out her hand to touch Brother Jin's head. However, Brother Jin dodged and hid behind his mother.

Sit down in the second sister-in-law's room, Eleven Niang said apologetically, he is a little naughty.

I don’t know why, but Brother Jin seems to be a little afraid of the second lady, and he is always a little reserved when seeing him.

Children are all like this. The second lady smiled lightly and entered the room with Eleven Niang.

The two of them were drinking tea. The second lady talked about Wang Jiubao's execution and sighed very much.

Zhu Xiang, who was waiting on the side, had a womanly look on her face. She said it was hard to say these things.

Fortunately, Eleven Niang often discussed national affairs with others in the past, so she didn't feel anything strange. She just secretly guessed the second lady's intention. But she didn't hear it until the second lady left.

I talked to Xu Lingyi in the evening: Tell me, why did the second sister-in-law think of telling me this? I looked at the second sister-in-law, and it didn’t look like she knew about the child. As she said that, she glanced at Xu Lingyi.

Xu Lingyi pinched her nose: It's enough for you to follow your heart. How could I drag my second sister-in-law into this?

It turns out that I am the one who works hard, and my second sister-in-law is the rich and noble Shiyi Niang and Xu Lingyi tease me.

Who asked you to marry me? Xu Lingyi smiled and held Eleven Niang in her arms. She could only work hard with me.

Eleven Niang lay in his arms and said to Xu Lingyi: "Second sister-in-law has great ambitions, but unfortunately she is a woman and her second brother has passed away. She lives in a corner, so it is inevitable that she will be lonely. If she comes to talk to you, you don't care whether you like it or not.

Just listen.

I know it’s a bit strange for Eleven Niang to be nestling in Xu Lingyi’s arms.

Xu Lingyi talked about Xu Siyu: How can a county school be as good as Jinxi Academy? After sending a full-moon gift to Sister Zhen, he asked Brother Yu to go back to Le'an.

Try to participate in next year's provincial examination. You can take advantage of these days to decide on his marriage. Once we have a family, he can study in peace and contentment, and we can concentrate on preparing for brother Chen's marriage.

There were many people talking about getting married, but it was a bit difficult to choose a house that they were happy with. Eleven Niang and Xu Lingyi whispered, temporarily putting aside the second lady's visit.

When the second lady returned to Shaohuayuan, she felt a little regretful and wanted to find an opportunity to go to Eleven Niang's place again. Who knew that Mrs. Xiang's invitation had arrived first.

Mrs. Tai took one look at it and gave the bright red and gold invitation to Eleven Niang: You can do what you want. I'm old, so let me be lazy. Then she looked at the painting powder in the inner room with a smile.

Brother Jin, who was drawing pictures on the green bricks of the mirror, and Brother Shen, who was clumsily following behind Brother Jin, said, "Oh, I have these two little babies at home. You can also let go and play."

Eleven Niang originally thought that Mrs. Tai would treat the second wife's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law Xiang's family, which was unusual, and that Mrs. Tai would probably go there, so she brought the invitation to Mrs. Tai for a look. She was a little surprised when she heard this and said: The Marquis made an appointment that day.

Dou Ge Lao, Liang Ge Lao Wang and others are going to the West Mountain to climb up. I want my concubine to help prepare food. I'm afraid I won't have time. Otherwise, let the fifth brother and sister accompany the second sister-in-law.

The madam nodded.

When the fifth lady came to say hello, he said so.

The fifth lady looked troubled: I promised my father to go back with the child.

Madam Tai is about the same age as Mr. Sun, and she can understand Mr. Sun's feeling that his days are short and he wants to see his daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren more in his lifetime, so he is particularly tolerant of the Fifth Madam in this regard.

Go, go, Mrs. Tai said with a smile, the Zhejiang commander is the old Marquis’s original entourage, and he must have sent plump crabs again this time. Remember to bring two baskets for us to try when we come back.

The fifth lady happily agreed and asked the eleventh mother: What does the fourth sister-in-law want? My father also has a subordinate who serves as a general in Jinhua, and he brings good Jinhua wine every year. I will also bring some jars back to the fourth sister-in-law.

Eat it yourself or give it to others, it’s all good

Then I'm not welcome. Eleven Niang smiled, but she felt worried in her heart. Could it be that she really let the second lady go to the banquet alone?

She had no choice but to tell Zhu Xiang to prepare clothes. On the Double Ninth Festival, she got up early to pack Xu Lingyi's things, and then took Brother Jin to the Crown Prince: I'll be back after lunch.

It's okay, it's okay. Madam Tai smiled and said, "Don't you have to go out, drink some wine, and enjoy the chrysanthemums? It doesn't matter if you come back after dinner. We brother Jin followed our grandmother and had the same fun, didn't we, brother Jin?"

Brother Jin has been obsessed with painting on the floor in the Taifu's inner room these days. Sometimes the eleventh mother would ask him to go to her room and paint if he wanted to. But the Taifu didn't take it seriously and sent a maid to take it.

I took off a handkerchief and wiped the paint on the side to ensure that Brother Jin would have a place to draw at any time. He also discussed replacing the floor of the building with this kind of blue brick so that Brother Jin could paint. Brother Jin became more and more excited

When he heard his grandmother ask him, he immediately nodded: I am playing with my grandmother and hope that the eleventh mother will leave quickly.

The eleventh mother couldn't laugh or cry and went to Xiang's house with the second lady.

As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw Mrs. Xiang and Mrs. Gao standing in front of Chuihua Gate with smiles on their faces.

But since you are here, she enthusiastically stepped forward and took Eleven Niang's hand, then stretched her neck and looked behind her to see the madam. She saw that there was only a carriage behind her, and the woman accompanying the carriage was helping the second lady to get out of the car.

He was slightly startled and said, why, didn’t the lady come with you?

My mother is older, and the weather is hot today. The eleventh mother smiled and was stopped by the Marquis at home.

The weather was too hot today. Mrs. Gao smiled and invited Eleven Niang and Second Madam into the house. Neither sister-in-law was unhappy because of Mrs. Tai's absence.
