Eleven Niang hurried to the main room.

Mother Du hasn’t left yet: I’m still entertaining some ladies and mothers there. Mrs. Du wanted me to send people here and then go back, but I thought the fourth lady must have something to ask me, so she stayed behind shamelessly.

.

What did mother say? Eleven Niang asked Mother Du to come to the inner room to talk. Mother was sympathizing with the difficulty of raising several children. I still knew this. While talking, she and Mother Du were sitting on the big kang near the window.

Sit down.

Qiu Yu served tea and gently helped them cover their faces with fans.

Mother Du leaned slightly and said in a low voice: Yesterday and today, the fifth young master was listening to the opera at Dianchun Hall. Especially today, while listening, he also kept playing time. It made several ladies laugh. Mr. Liang Ge

The lady even joked, why does this child not look like the Marquis but the Fifth Master?

Eleven Niang's heart skipped a beat.

Although what happened back then was suppressed, Xu Sijie was raised by the Liu family until he was three years old. With Liu Huifang's personality, someone in the Liu family's social circle must have known or heard about Xu Sijie's life experience. She prevented Xu Sijie from learning opera.

I just don’t want him to have too close friendship with people in the opera industry, so that he can learn about the past that his biological mother died young, his biological father disowned him, his uncle used him as a bargaining chip to blackmail his biological father, and being adopted by his uncle would make people sad no matter what.

What's more, so many things were mixed together, which caused great harm to Xu Sijie.

Sometimes, not knowing is also a kind of happiness.

She couldn't help but whisper: What did the other ladies say?

Mrs. Huang and others naturally couldn't say anything. Mrs. Dou Ge's wife asked the fifth young master if he understood what he heard and if he knew what was being sung. The fifth young master blushed and nodded, wondering what was being sung on the stage.

I told Mr. Dou Ge's wife everything. Mr. Dou Ge's wife was amazed after hearing this and praised the fifth young master for being smart. The fifth young master smiled shyly and looked very good-looking. As Mrs. Du spoke, she gave a long and revealing smile.

After taking a breath, Chen Shilang's wife was extremely curious. She called the fifth young master over, pushed the fifth young master's hand and asked what books he usually read, what he did at home, whether he often accompanied his grandmother to listen to operas, etc.

The fifth young master said that he had just finished kindergarten and was preparing to learn the Analects of Confucius. He usually practiced writing Chinese characters, playing the flute, playing the piano, and making purple clay pots at home. He did not often accompany his wife to listen to operas. Mrs. Chen Shilang listened.

He was even more curious and asked him how he could understand what was being sung on the stage. The fifth young master said that he didn’t know either, but he could understand it as soon as he heard it. After hearing this, Chen Shilang’s wife laughed and said to his wife, your family wants

Someone came out. I asked the fifth young master if he could sing. The fifth young master learned a few lines from what he had just heard.

Having said this, Mama Du showed a bitter smile to Eleven Niang.

Although I am a layman, I can still tell that although the Fifth Young Master sings softer and softer than the little couplet on the stage, his straight words have round pronunciation, his accent is elegant, and he has an upright spirit, which is much higher than that of the little couplet.

Not to mention the ladies in the room, even Xiao Lianzhu and others who were waiting for the reward outside the hall were shocked.

Does this count as becoming famous in one fell swoop?

Eleven Niang also smiled bitterly: So Madam Tai asked her mother to send the person over.

Aren't the people from the Deyin class singing in the evening? Mother Du nodded, her voice as low as a gnat, and Liu Huifang, who sang Geyang tune. And she was also famous in Yanjing.

That would be even more avoidable.

Eleven Niang nodded: I understand.

Mother Du breathed a sigh of relief: Mrs. Tai also knew that the Fourth Madam was in trouble, but there were too many guests at her old man's house, so it was better to avoid them. After saying that, she stood up and I went over first. Four

If anything happens to Madam, just send someone to give instructions.

Eleven Niang nodded with a smile and saw Du's mother to the door.

Things were trickier than she imagined.

If you tell Mrs. Xu Sijie the reason for sending him back, you have to tell him his life experience. It is obviously unwise to do so at this time.

No one can know that they have such a life experience and not feel sad. When guests gather here, if they are not careful, they may lead to more gossip. By then, they may not be able to suppress this matter.

It's possible. That would be a huge blow to Xu Sijie.

But if you don't tell him, you will have to find some reasons.

A lie usually requires more lies to cover up.

Thinking of this, Eleven Niang felt a little irritable.

She walked around the spacious hall for a long time, and when her mood gradually calmed down, she asked Qiu Yu: Where is the fifth young master?

Although Qiu Yu didn't know what happened, seeing Eleven Niang's distress made her a little worried.

Pointing to the east corner, she said softly: I placed the fifth young master there.

Eleven Niang went to Dongshaojian.

Xu Sijie sat alone on the grand master's chair in front of the window, with his head lowered and his chest lowered, his toes circling on the ground paved with bluestone tiles.

Hearing the noise, he immediately raised his head, a look of fear and uneasiness like a young animal flashing through his eyes.

When his mother saw that it was Eleven Niang, he relaxed completely, jumped off the chair and ran over, but stopped abruptly five steps away from Eleven Niang.

Mother, Xu Sijie looked at Eleven Niang with complex eyes, I, I, I

I didn't say a word for a long time, with a guilty look on my face.

Being sent back like this by Mama Du, he obviously did something wrong. But what exactly he did wrong, I'm afraid he didn't understand at all.

Eleven Niang looked a little sad, and she stepped forward and hugged Xu Sijie: From now on, she will never do this again and just go to the theater by herself, regardless of what her brothers and sisters are doing.

This is the best excuse she can find

Xu Sijie's face turned red: I showed a bit of timidity again and asked hesitantly, "Grandma, will you blame your mother?"

He thinks he did something wrong and is afraid that she will be implicated, so is he feeling so guilty?

Eleven Niang felt that her eyes were getting wet.

Probably not. She smiled and said, "If you know your mistakes and can correct them, you can do better. If we don't do this in the future, my grandmother will naturally not blame us."

Xu Sijie nodded repeatedly: The eldest brother and the others have all gone to welcome the bride. The second sister, sixth brother and seventh brother are in the new house. The eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law are watching over there. There is also the red-striped golden-haired Liu Erwu and Wu's mother who is serving the second sister and the third sister-in-law.

Turning over the rope, the sixth brother and the seventh brother were playing and fighting in the yard. He said, lowering his head, so I did, I did

The eldest brother and others have gone out. You are the eldest one in the family. You should take care of your younger brothers and sisters. How can you go to the theater alone just because of this? It’s no wonder that grandma is angry. Eleven Niang said softly, admonition

The elder brother has grown up and has moved to the outer courtyard. He is no longer a child and has to shoulder the responsibility of being an elder brother. After a while, the second sister-in-law's sedan chair came in, looking at the bride and asking for red envelopes, the Xiang family

I don’t know how noisy it was to see off your bride. How could your grandmother, aunt, and I take care of each other? You should help us take care of our younger brothers and sisters.

I knew that Xu Sijie laughed, and I stopped going to the opera later and looked at the second sister, the sixth brother, and the seventh brother.

Eleven Niang smiled and nodded. She said softly: "You haven't eaten yet. Come on, come and have dinner with me."

Xu Sijie happily went to the small courtyard next to Dianchun Hall with Eleven Niang. After dinner, they went to the new house together.

Brother Jin and Brother Shen are setting off fireworks there.

Seeing Eleven Niang, Brother Jin rushed over with a joss stick: Mom, today’s meatballs are delicious, we will make meatballs tomorrow.

Brother Shen saw it and rushed over: Fourth Aunt, I also want to eat meatballs.

Eleven Niang hurriedly grabbed the hands of the two little guys holding the incense candles: Be careful not to burn my clothes. I don’t have time to change clothes today.

Brother Jin chuckled and handed the incense candle to Huang Xiaomao who was serving next to him. Brother Shen followed suit and also handed the incense candle to Huang Xiaomao.

A little maid came over and said: Madam, Mr. Liu has sent over all the live fish and shrimps for tomorrow's banquet. Mother Li and Mr. Liu have weighed, and I want Madam to stamp the list.

After hearing this, Xu Sijie hurriedly said: Mother, go and do your work. I looked at the sixth and seventh brothers.

Eleven Niang agreed with a smile, but she still had a conversation with her son, and then went to the small hall next to Dianchun Hall.

At the beginning of Xu, the newlyweds' sedan entered the door, kowtowed to Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang, and sent them into the new house. Everyone gathered to see the bride. The Xu family held a formal banquet. Xu Siyu came out to offer incense, accompanied by the eldest mistress and others.

The bride was enthroned on the bed, and the Fifth Madam accompanied Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Zhou and her gang to play cards in the east wing of the Tai Madam's side. The Tai Madam, Mrs. Huang and others were listening to the opera in the Dianchun Hall, and the Eleventh Mother discussed matters with the mothers in charge.

.The sound of drums, cheers, playing cards, toasts, noisy voices in the Xu Mansion, ear-splitting music, laughter, and firecrackers continued in an endless stream. It was not until the beginning of the next day that it gradually stopped.

When Xu Lingyi returned to the house, he saw Eleven Niang lying on the bed fully clothed. He quickly covered her with the quilt, then leaned over and called her softly: Eleven Niang, Eleven Niang, change your clothes and go to sleep again.

Eleven Niang sat up in a daze, Xu Lingyi helped her take off her clothes, and fell back to sleep.

Xu Lingyi looked at it and shook his head, and called Qiu Yu in: When did Madam return to the house? Why did she just lie down with her clothes on?

Qiu Yu hurriedly said: Madam just came back. She said she wanted to stay alone for a while, but the slaves didn't dare to come in.

Xu Lingyi went to see Brother Jin.

He and Brother Shen were lying side by side on the big bed in Nuange, sleeping soundly.

The Seventh Young Master insists on sleeping with the Sixth Young Master. Brother Shen's wet nurse murmured an explanation.

Xu Lingyi waved his hand and returned to the inner room.

Suddenly there was someone beside her. Eleven Niang vaguely turned around and hugged the person's waist, smelling a faint smell of alcohol.

You drink less. She murmured, it’s not good to drink too much at night. Take care of yourself.

Knowing that Xu Lingyi responded nonchalantly, watching her move around in his arms trying to find a comfortable position, his heart moved and he put his hand into her lapel.

Eleven Niang woke up.

She held Xu Lingyi's wrist: My little day is here, her tone seemed a little depressed, and her eyebrows knitted together tightly.

Xu Lingyi was stunned.

Not pregnant again

His hand fell on her back smoothly, caressing her comfortingly, and whispered in her ear against her face: It seems that I will continue to work hard, and his tone was very narrow.
Chapter completed!
