Chapter 697 Yearning (Part 2)

Under the careful care of her son-in-law, Mrs. Tai's condition gradually improved. She was able to walk in mid-February.

Eunuch Lei, who was ordered to visit the sick man every other day, couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. He looked at Xu Lingyi, who had lost a lot of weight, and said with a smile: If the Tai Madam's illness hasn't started yet, we can't stop the Queen.

Got it

These days, the imperial hospital treats the Xu Mansion as the second imperial medical office. Ginseng, Ganoderma and other precious medicinal materials from the palace are constantly being dragged in. Not to mention the queen, even the emperor is sending people here every once in a while.

When asked about the condition of the concubine, those of the royal family, princes and ministers were not to mention. Eleven Niang always felt that Xu Lingyi was not tired and thin from taking care of the concubine, but that it was because the concubine was ill and had to entertain these people.

Eunuch Laurel also reported to the Queen. Xu Lingyi couldn't help but smile a few times on his serious face. Madam Madam was getting better and asked the Queen not to worry.

Don’t worry, Marquis Yongping, I will definitely bring you your message.

The two had a conversation, and Xu Lingyi sent Lord Lei Lei to the courtyard gate and then returned to the Taifu's place.

The second lady sat beside the bed, the eleventh lady and the fifth lady sat side by side on the small teacup in front of the bed, and the third lady sat on the small teacup at the end of the bed. The Jiang family, the Fang family, the Jin family, and the Xiang family stood in front of the fallen flower shade.

The spring banquet on March 3rd was going to be held. The wife, who had just recovered from her illness, was still very weak in voice. I was so depressed after my illness, but the spring banquet was going to be lively and lively.

Let's do it. The second lady looked towards Eleven Mother. There were many people in the house and it was lively. Mother felt comfortable looking at it, and her illness would get better quickly.

Everyone followed the second lady's gaze and looked at Eleven Niang, waiting for her to speak.

The wife is suffering from heart disease this time. If the atmosphere around her is better, the wife will be in a better mood. When the mood is good, the spirit will be better, and people will gradually regain their vitality.

I think what the second sister-in-law said makes sense. The eleventh mother looked at the madam and said, mother, then I will post as usual as in previous years.

The madam laughed, nodded, and closed her eyes tiredly.

Eleven Niang stood up and glanced at the people in the room. Except for the second lady who was taking care of the wife, everyone else quietly followed Eleven Niang out of the inner room.

Let Brother Zhun and his daughter-in-law take care of this matter. She told Madam Jiang that you were the one to organize the Chun Banquet last year. Everyone agreed. However, the situation is different this year. The Madam cannot bear the hassle of the banquet, so it is better to be quiet.

Mrs. Jiang whispered and Eleven Niang turned around and scanned the bodies of everyone in the room.

Third sister-in-law and fifth sister-in-law, she said, we were the ones taking care of them a few days ago, and the second sister-in-law was the one who kept the clothes in the evening. Otherwise, we would be so busy during the day and night with so many people coming and going, I'm afraid I would have fallen down from exhaustion. Although my mother is now

It's gradually getting better, but after all, you are an elderly person, and you still need someone to take care of you. But it is not good to leave the second sister-in-law like this all the time. I want Brother Chen and my daughter-in-law to take care of the spring banquet, and we will take turns taking care of my mother.

Let the second sister-in-law have a rest, what do you think?

No one had any objections.

Then it’s decided that the eleventh mother will be arranged in order according to the seniority among the sisters. Everyone has worked hard these days. Let’s go back and rest early today to refresh ourselves so that we can take care of our mother tomorrow.

Mrs. Tai's illness gradually recovered and she was able to rest again. Everyone's expressions became lighter.

The fifth lady has been busy with the eleventh mother these days to entertain guests. Her brows were full of deep tiredness. After hearing this, she said: Fourth sister-in-law, I will go back first and pick up your hand tomorrow morning.

According to Eleven Niang's arrangement, Eleven Niang will take care of Mrs. Tai tonight and Wu Niang will take over tomorrow morning.

Eleven Niang nodded.

After the third wife said that she would make arrangements to take care of the dowager, she took her daughter-in-law and left.

Xu Lingyi sent Eunuch Lei back.

Mom, he is very caring. Who will accompany her?

Before Eleven Niang had time to answer him, a little maid opened the curtain in the inner room and came out.

"Master Marquis, madam," she said softly, "the madam has something to say to the fourth madam. Weren't you out of energy and falling asleep just now?"

Eleven Niang was very surprised and entered the inner room with Xu Lingyi.

The madam closed her eyes, as if she was asleep.

Her hair was white and her skin was sallow and lackluster, making the wrinkles on her face very clear.

Xu Lingyi felt sour in her heart and knelt on the bed.

When the second lady saw it, she quickly stood up.

Mother Xu Lingyi gently shook the dowager's hand.

The madam opened her eyes: "Here you are, Eleven Niang." She said, looking behind Xu Lingyi.

Eleven Niang hurriedly stepped forward and knelt in front of Mrs. Xu with Xu Chungyi.

Mrs. Eleven Niang tremblingly stretched out her hand and held Eleven Niang's hand. I want you to send someone to Yu Guang in the next two days to tell Brother Jie in advance.

Eleven Niang was very surprised.

Although this matter was discussed, it was delayed because the Dowager was ill.

Brother Jie is sixteen this year, and will be eighteen in two years. He has nothing to talk about, but Ying Niang can't just wait like this. If the talented person gossips, the child will be embarrassed. Instead of being embarrassed then,

It’s better to book the marriage as soon as possible

This time, Mrs. Tai spoke urgently and quickly.

The old man was afraid that after her death, the children would have to observe filial piety, which would delay the marriage.

Mom, don’t think so much... Eleventh Mother hurriedly comforted her, and when you get better in a few days, we will propose marriage. If it doesn’t work, Mrs. Tai said categorically, tomorrow, tomorrow you will propose marriage.

Eleven Niang also wanted to persuade Mrs. Tai not to be so pessimistic. Xu Lingyi said: Then go to Gongxian Hutong tomorrow.

Upon hearing this, the lady's expression relaxed: "Do you remember?" Her voice gradually became lower and she closed her eyes.

Xu Lingyi was startled, and Eleven Niang's heartstrings tightened. The second lady gently put her fingers under the Tai Madam's nose. After a long time, Eleven Niang shook her head at Xu Lingyi, and then the three of them

They all breathed a sigh of relief.

Eleven Niang and Xu Lingyi came out of the inner room to talk.

I think it's better that this matter has been settled early," Shen Yin said. It would be even more difficult to handle if the revitalization was released.

Okay. Eleven Niang said, I will go to Gongxian Hutong tomorrow. Then I turned around and went to Xu Sijie’s place.

All classes in the school have been suspended.

Xu Sijie was sitting at his desk writing and practicing calligraphy. When he saw his mother, he quickly put down his pen.

Why are you here? He helped Eleven Niang sit down on the big kang by the window and made a cup of tea herself. Grandma rested. Eleven Niang nodded and sipped the tea: What kind of tea is this? It tastes pretty good.

It's from Mount Huangshan. Xu Si warned his mother that if she likes it, I'll ask them to send some over later. He also said that Wang Yun gave it to his fourth brother.

I'm not particular about drinking tea. Eleven Niang said with a smile, and I don't drink enough to taste it. You can keep it and drink it. As she said this, a trace of hesitation flashed across her face.

You can naturally see clearly to those who care.

Since his mother is embarrassed to say it, he should mention it first.

Xu Sijie smiled and said: Mother, do you want to tell me something?

It's just a matter of fact. Looking at Xu Sijie's childish face, Eleven Niang considered it, would you like it if I asked Ying Niang to stay with us from now on?

Okay. I don’t know why. Xu Sijie felt a little happy when he heard this. The eldest cousin has a cheerful temperament and understands flowers and herbs. With her by your side, you also have someone to keep you company. When he said this, he couldn’t help but become speechless.

When a girl gets older, her mother, who naturally wants to get married, wants to keep her by her side forever. It seems a bit impossible, but her mother is not the kind of person who talks casually.

The thought flashed by, and a bold idea suddenly jumped out.

His face turned red.

Mother, looked at Eleven Niang for a long time and was speechless.

Seeing that he understood what she meant, Eleven Niang nodded with a smile and asked him again: Okay?

Xu Sijie's face was now so red that he could bleed.

He lowered his head and dared not look at Eleven Niang. Suddenly he said, "I, I will make you some tea." He took Eleven Niang's tea cup and went out.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.

The next day we went to Gongxian Hutong.

What's going on with everyone? Aunt Wang respectfully invited Eleven Niang to the study.

Que Luo Zhenxing, who was in the Marquis Department, wore a half-new and old Ge-colored Hangzhou silk gown, which matched his fair and slightly fat face. He had the unique calmness of a middle-aged man. Feng Niang suddenly came to Beijing for the first time.

What Zhenxing looked like when he picked her up at Tongzhou Pier.

handsome tg tea

Suddenly I understood why Luo Zhenxing was released.

What do the second and third uncles say? This is a big deal for the Luo family, and they must discuss it with the two uncles who are still in their official careers.

Luo Zhenxing did not notice these small emotions of his sister: the second uncle thought he should be more cautious, but the third uncle thought it was good. He was not used to saying such things to women, even if the woman was his sister, it was just a few simple sentences

Then he changed the topic: I heard that Mrs. Tai can walk on the ground.

Seeing that he was unwilling to talk about it, Eleven Niang took the opportunity to talk to Luo Zhenxing about the wife's illness, and then brought up the marriage that the wife was concerned about.

Let the matchmaker come to propose marriage. Luo Zhenxing said that it is best to settle the marriage before the end of March. Even if I leave, you can go directly to Yuhang to pick up the bride. Eleven Niang smiled and said thank you and went out.

Arrive at Yongchang Hou Mansion.

You don't want me to be a cheap matchmaker, do you? Huang Sannǎǎi looked at it jokingly.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but laugh awkwardly.

You really asked me to be a matchmaker, Yingsan nǎǎi couldn't help but exclaimed, and then laughed, but this time it was agreed that double the number of shoes would be made for me.

Sister is really a lion with a big mouth.

I'm not worth the price anyway.

The two joked with each other, and then Eleven Niang told Huang Wunǎǎi what happened.

"Okay," Huang San said with a smile. "It's better to have a kiss. We agreed with Eleven Niang on a date when she would come to propose marriage. Eleven Niang got up and left."

After leaving Princess Lane, I immediately sent someone to report to Luo Zhenxing so that he could hire a matchmaker.

A few days later, the two families formally exchanged wedding invitations, and three days later, they wrote the marriage certificate and made a small wedding ceremony. The wife's health also improved day by day. During the Dragon Boat Festival, she and her children even went to put out river lanterns.
