Although the second wife expressed the wish, it still took a lot of trouble before the wife reluctantly agreed that Brother Jin should accompany Luo Zhenxing back to Yuhang.

Brother Jin was overjoyed but also a little depressed: Dad, why don't you go with me? Didn't you boast in front of me that no matter who you are, you can get along well with others? Xu Lingyi said with a smile, this time

I won’t talk to you, but I’ll see if you can make some friends back.” He added, “I went to Jiangnan once sixteen years ago. When you come back, tell me about Jiangnan.”

Brother Jin became happy again after hearing this, and ran to ask Mrs. Tai: Do you have anything you want? I will buy it for you.

Madam Tai held Brother Jin in her arms and couldn't bear to let him go, as if he was leaving tomorrow: Grandma didn't want anything, she just wanted my Brother Jin to come back safely, and then she quietly stuffed him a purse and took it with him.

Don't tell either. If you want to buy something on the walk but are too embarrassed to ask your uncle, just use this. We don't look at people's eyes.

No need. Brother Jin pushed me back. My father gave me one hundred taels of silver, and my mother gave me two hundred taels of silver. I have a lot of money. I have a lot of money when I am away from home. My wife insisted on brother Jin.

Take it, who thinks the money is too little? Brother Jin doesn’t like pushing and shoving like this. He thought about it and smiled and said: That’s good. I haven’t used it all, so I’ll take it back to you. You don’t have to pay me back.

, Mrs. Tai smiled and said, you can keep it and use it. Brother Jin didn’t say much to Mrs. Tai and accepted it readily. He talked to Mrs. Tai: This time we will go on the official ship. Master Pang said, "Official ship"

The boat is stable and more comfortable than riding in a carriage. This is my first time on an official boat. In the past, I only went up there to take a look when my father was seeing people off.

Eleven Niang was thanking the Second Madam: Thanks to the Second Sister-in-law, otherwise the Madam would not have agreed to Brother Jin going out.

Without me, if the Marquis comes forward, my mother will agree. The second lady smiled slightly, I will come forward, but it will be faster. She said, got up and took a name card from the desk and handed it to Eleven Mother. Since she wants

When going to the south of the Yangtze River, it is better to go to Taicang to pay homage to Mr. Feng Qianying. He is a master of astrology and has done a lot of research on arithmetic and I Ching and Feng Shui. This is such a strange person, you can't just pass by without entering. The Thirteenth Mother is ashamed.

Brother Jin, who had been studying astrology with the Second Madam for a while, seemed to only be able to distinguish between east, west, north and south. Arithmetic was taught by her based on her impressions, but she only learned the multiplication formula by heart and could make a birdcage with three birds in it.

How many birds are there in the four birdcages? As for word problems like Feng Shui and the Book of Changes, I don’t know if Mr. Chang and Mr. Zhao will talk about it. Anyway, she definitely doesn’t understand. Xu Lingyi probably doesn’t understand either.

Brother, are you going to meet such a person just to say hello?

She thought about it, considering that this was the second lady's wish and it was not difficult, so she agreed with a smile.

I went back and looked at the name post, and it was signed by the Shaohua layman Xu Xiang.

It seems that this young layman is the second wife.

Tell Xu Lingyi.

Xu Lingyi laughed: You just know. The second brother once personally carved a leisure seal for the second sister-in-law with precious blood stones. Eleven Niang opened the name card and pointed to the red seal: Is it this? Xu Lingyi glanced at it: I didn't expect it.

The second sister-in-law was still speaking in a very sad tone.

The eleventh mother asked him: Why didn't the second sister-in-law adopt a child? She thought that the adopted children were usually the children of the husband's brothers. Before she married, Xu Lingyi had few children, Xu Lingkuan had no children, and the third wife only had two sons. Nanjing was directly

Is it because there is no suitable one? This is just one of the reasons. Xu Lingyi said that the main reason is that the second sister-in-law feels that she cannot take care of children well.

Eleven Niang was very puzzled as to what it meant to be unable to take care of a child well.

There are many maid mothers in the family and the children are taken care of by the maid until they are five years old. She can just take a symbolic look at them every day.

An idea flashed through her mind, and she suddenly remembered.

The second wife was an only child. After she got married, her child had a miscarriage and her husband suddenly died of illness. Could it be that she thought her life was too harsh?

Is it because of this that Nanjing is unwilling to adopt the child?

And although she is good to her children, she has never shown any body language such as hugging or kissing.

What are the plans of the second sister-in-law? The eleventh mother couldn't help but wonder.

Neither Mrs. Tai nor Xu Lingyi, judging from their feelings for the second master, could not allow the second wife to have an heir.

What the second sister-in-law means is that after she passes away, we can adopt one in the name of the second brother. Xu Lingyi's expression was a little sad.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but look to the northwest corner.

Everyone was a little surprised to know that Yingniang was going back to Yuhang after the Dragon Boat Festival.

Xiang's expression showed some reluctance to go back so soon. Didn't he say he wanted to spend some time with you?

Yingniang has a lively temperament and is very hard-working. In her free time, she is either doing grass work or doing needlework. Sometimes she will help Xiang to hug Yingying when she sees him coming to say hello. Although Xiang didn't talk to her much, she left a lasting impression on her.

very good.

Eleven Niang dropped a mugwort purse on Yingying's chest and said with a smile: If I leave her here, what will her mother do? She has come here to stay with me for a few months. That's enough. Mrs. Xiang didn't dare to ask any more questions.

, Wei Wei responded, and after going down, he took Yingying to see Yingniang and gave her a gift of fifty taels of silver.

The fifth wife, Mrs. Jiang Shixin, and others gave gifts such as earrings and hairpins. Only Xu Sijie, in addition to the fifty taels of silver for Yi Cheng, also gave Yingniang an embroidered huā stretcher:

Didn't I say last time that the bandage was loose and couldn't stretch the muscles? So I made one.

Yingniang was very surprised: You can still do this. Xu Sijie smiled sheepishly: It's not a big deal. It's just a piece of bamboo left over from making a lantern. It's just random.

Yingniang laughed: What else can you do?

He knows a little bit of everything. Xu Sijie listened to Sanran, but he was not very good at it. He should pick something he likes and learn from it. Yingniang couldn't help but lecture her. My aunt said that a person can only do one thing in this life.

Once it's done, it will be of endless use.

Xu Sijie nodded and left with a blushing face.

Looking at this, Ying Niang suddenly felt that she had spoken too harshly, and she quickly called Xu Sijie: Fourth brother, I am used to speaking freely at home, please don't take my nonsense to heart.

No, Xu Sijie said, what my eldest cousin said makes sense. I want to go back and think carefully about what to do. As he said that, he liked all the events when he thought about them and was reluctant to give up on them. He said in a tone of voice that at least one of them must be separated.

First and second, do everything right. The tone is very sincere.

Yingniang laughed and thought Xu Sijie was quite funny. She raised the bag in her hand and said, "Thank you to my fifth cousin." She turned around and ran into the main room.

Xu Sijie suddenly felt a little sad when he thought that he might never see this cousin who always smiled broadly.

Eleven Niang watched the ship slowly sail away from the dock of Tongzhou River through the green gauze of the carriage, and the tears she had been holding back fell.

With Master Pang and the guards following him, they are all carefully selected, and they still have my name in their hands, so nothing will happen. Xu Ling put his arms around his wife's shoulders to comfort her, and Brother Jin came back during the Chinese New Year.

Seven months passed in the blink of an eye. Eleven Niang nodded, wiped away her tears and said with red eyes: Let's go back. Her nose was blocked and her voice was a bit buzzing, but her tone was firm.

Now that you have made your decision, there is no need to hesitate anymore.

Xu Lingyi felt the change in her, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes, and he said warmly: I spent most of the night talking to Brother Jin at the inn yesterday, so why don't you lean on me and sleep for a while?

Eleven Niang was indeed a little tired. She closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep amidst the monotonous sound of wheels.

I don't know how long it took before she suddenly woke up.

The carriage stopped, she was still in the carriage, there was no sound around, the candlelight of the red lantern shèd through the window of the carriage, Xu Lingyi sat quietly and fanned her.

When he woke up, he smiled and said, "You are hungry. Let's go down and have dinner." As he said that, he threw down his fan and raised the curtains of the carriage and horse. This is Dongsheng Inn. Let's rest here for the day. We will be on our way early tomorrow morning. We can enter at dusk.

Yanjing is in the city." As he said this, he stretched out his hand towards her.

Eleven Niang held his hand and got out of the carriage, only to find that the carriage was parked in a small courtyard. There was no one in the courtyard and it was quiet.

Brother Jin and Brother Jie came with them to see Brother Jin off.

I asked them to go back and rest first. Xu Lingyi led her to the main room. He saw that you were sleeping soundly, so he didn't wake you up.

Eleven Niang looked up at the sky.

The sky is grey-blue, with no moon and only a few stars.

What time is it now?

It was early in the month of Xu. Xu Lingyi took out his pocket watch and looked at it for a long time through the light under the eaves.

It was the last day of the year when Brother Zhun left the shore, so didn't she sleep for more than three hours? They were not in a hurry. Yesterday, the manager said that they should open a shop in the first half of the year, so didn't he sleep in the carriage for more than three hours?

I fanned myself for more than an hour

Why didn't Mr. Hou wake me up? Eleven Niang said angrily.

Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, I didn't wake you up. Xu Lingyi took her hand and entered the house.

Qiu Yu was waiting, saw them coming in, and quickly ordered lunch to be served.

Just after taking two bites, there was a noise outside.

Xu Lingyi glanced at Qiu Yu, who immediately walked out quickly and quickly came back.

Marquis, madam, this is the second young master. Her face was full of surprises. The second young master returned to Yanjing and stayed in this inn. If Mo Zhu hadn't gone to the kitchen to ask for foot-washing water for the second young master and saw the nursing home, he wouldn't have

Knowing that we are also resting here, please invite him in quickly. The couple said in unison, Qiu Yu had already lifted the curtain, and the tall and thin Xu Siyu walked in.

Father and mother, he didn't care whether there was a ball on the ground or not, he just knelt in front of them.
Chapter completed!
