Chapter 79 Countermeasures
Pink Ticket 51o
Eleven Niang was in a very good mood. She went back to the house and looked for the Jiuyu Zhi of the Great Zhou Dynasty and leaned on the big kang near the window to read it.
Dongqing invited Amber to talk outside.
Knowing that the marriage was unlikely to work out and that Eleventh Mother had to become a monk, both of them felt very sad and didn't know what to say. Looking at each other, they saw Mother Xu and a few maid-looking people surrounding Mother Du next to Mrs. Xu Jiatai.
Came in.
The two were shocked. Mother Du had already seen Amber and Dongqing, and greeted them with a smile: Why are the two girls standing here, Miss Eleven?
Amber and Dongqing hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Mama Du, and said with a smile: Our lady is reading in the room. We were afraid of disturbing her, so we went out for a walk.
Oh, Mother Du's eyes flashed slightly, and she said with a smile, I brought something to Miss Eleven on the order of the Madam, and also asked the two girls to report it. Her tone was very polite.
How could the two of them dare to neglect the people around Mrs. Tai? Dongqing went to report it in person. Amber opened the curtain and welcomed Mother Du into the house.
Mother Du saw that the flower tables in the house were dotted with orchids and green leaves, and the decoration was very elegant. She couldn't help but nodded secretly. Then she looked at Eleven Niang, who was wearing a semi-new and not old sapphire-colored plain flower gown.
She has a plain face. Although her eyes are red, they are exceptionally crystal clear.
She smiled and saluted Miss Eleven, and said: Mrs. Tai said that the fan was finely embroidered and she liked it very much. The apricots at home happened to be ripe, so she asked me to bring some for Miss Eleven to taste. As she said that, the little girl behind her
The maid handed over a box.
Hu Huo on the side took the box, Eleven Niang thanked Mrs. Tai for her kindness, the two exchanged a few words, and then Mother Du stood up and left.
I brought apricots
Eleven Niang felt something strange and ordered Amber to open the box.
A box of green apricots, not much bigger than lotus seed rice, looked uncooked and could not be eaten.
Her face changed slightly, and she immediately told Hu Hu: Go and ask what Mama Du told the eldest lady.
After hearing this, Amber understood something in her heart and immediately went to Coral.
After a while, she came back and said: Miss, Mrs. Du did not come alone. She also came with Mr. Huang from the Yongchang House. It was said that Mr. Huang was entrusted by the Dowager to propose marriage.
The eldest master has already agreed, and he personally wrote the young lady's birth certificate and asked Mr. Huang to take it to the Yongping Marquis Mansion.
Eleven Niang was slightly startled: Could it be that what the fifth brother-in-law said was untrue?
No. Hu Bo shook his head gently. Madam Tai knew about this, so she sent Mother Du to see Mrs. Du. He also said that the Xu family was not an ungrateful and treacherous person. The two families had made a marriage contract and they should abide by it.
Let the eldest lady just worry about preparing the dowry. They will get married when the Marquis comes back. The eldest lady is very happy and is discussing with the eldest lady about buying a dowry for the young lady.
Eleven Niang took a breath of cold air.
She had not considered it before. Since the emperor prevented the queen mother's family from entering the palace, on the one hand, it showed that the emperor now had the ability to stop it, and on the other hand, it also vaguely showed the emperor's attitude towards the queen mother's family being close to the core political circle. She thought that Xu Lingyi
The Xu family may not be able to see that she is not at home. Unexpectedly, the wife turned out to be a woman. Not only did she see it, but she also acted decisively and responded immediately
She underestimated the Xu family in Yongping Prefecture.
Eleven Niang's expression gradually became a little solemn.
But Dongqing was very happy: I see that poor Lord Hou did not let down our young lady.
What is this nonsense
Eleven Niang couldn't help but frown.
What the Xu family didn't want to live up to was the family's glory, but thinking of Dongqing's good intentions, she swallowed the words that came to her lips.
Bin Ju agreed very much and nodded repeatedly: Who said it was not the case? Mr. Hou will only come back in May, but there must be no changes. Then asked Hu Hu: Do you think it is the case?
Amber seemed a little distracted. When she heard Bin Ju ask her, she said oh and said vaguely: "Everyone agrees, and I don't have any objections."
Binju was slightly unhappy.
Ever since Amber went to Shiniang's house to show off, she has been unable to kiss Amber.
But Eleven Niang saw it, but her heart moved slightly.
I was reading a book when I went there. It was Chronicles of the Nine Territories of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The cover was a little hairy when I rubbed it. I should have read it frequently on weekdays. I was wearing a slate-blue jacket that was not old, and my eyes were red.
, as if he had cried. But his expression looked very calm.
The madam couldn't help but nodded slightly: I didn't expect that she could be so calm at such a young age. I was a little worried about her at first. But now it seems that it is unnecessary.
Why is it superfluous? Mother Du smiled and said, you are protecting her. If she knew about it, she might not know how grateful she would be. She also said, when I went there, from the looks of everyone in the Luo family, they must have known about it.
When I told you the purpose of my visit, everyone in the Luo family looked happy. Like you, I was a little worried about Miss Eleven. Who knew that when I met Miss Eleven, she turned out to be no different from usual. If nothing else, that’s all.
Self-cultivation is enough to be worthy of the Marquis.
The Dowager's eyes flashed with relief: That's good, that's good. I just hope that after she gets married, she can abide by the ways of a woman, support her husband and raise her children, and flourish our Xu family. After saying that, she asked: What do the Luo family say?
The eldest lady said that Miss Ten’s marriage will be finalized in the next two days. Don’t worry, the wedding will go smoothly.
Madam Tai was quite surprised: Miss Ten’s marriage was already planned.
Mother Du smiled and said: From that tone, I have already made a decision. However, the eldest lady didn’t say much, so I couldn’t ask more questions. Otherwise, I’ll send someone to find out.
No need. Madam Tai shook her head disapprovingly. She always likes to play tricks, so we'd better mind our own business. The conversation between the two gradually turned to Xu Lingyi's marriage. The date is so urgent, but etiquette cannot be lacking. Let the old man
Sanbian went to the small courtyard next to the house and repainted it to build a new house. There was no need for the Luo family to buy furniture or anything else. In a hurry, I couldn't buy anything good. I remember that I also had a dowry of rosewood.
Just give it to them. You can see when the time comes. Where do you need to plant some flowers and plants in the small courtyard? Before the beginning of summer, do it quickly. I heard that when the Luo family married the fifth lady, they had four maids and two rooms.
Accompanying room. If this is the case, I'm afraid it won't be enough when Eleven Niang comes over. She can keep Yuan Niang's former people if she wants to, and if she doesn't want to stay, she can still work in the original yard. Carefully choose some smart maids for her.
The lady above took care of everything and explained it very carefully.
The eldest master over there has sent someone to invite Mr. Wang. Hearing that the Luo family wanted to arrange the wedding in advance, and thinking about the rumors about the Yongping Marquis Mansion in the past two days, he already understood something in his heart, so he smiled and talked to the eldest master.
The date of engagement was set on May 12th, and the wedding day was set on May 20th.
The eldest lady was very satisfied after hearing this.
The elder can’t help but feel a little uneasy: I have wronged Shi Niang
The eldest lady curled her lips, said nothing, and discussed with the eldest man their dowries.
As for Ten Niang’s, I’ll compare it to Wu Niang’s. Eleven Niang’s, I want to give more. Although it’s the same twenty-four tons, the quality of the things is better, and the decorations are more pretentious to prevent her from marrying into the Xu family.
Not a good person
The eldest man was too lazy to talk to the eldest lady about these trivial matters. He just said: You can make the decision on these matters. Just don't let others gossip.
The eldest lady smiled quickly and said: Don't worry, sir, you won't let anyone gossip.
Who would have thought that the next day when the steward of the Wang family accompanied Mr. Wang to take the dowry gift list and go to the government to apply for the marriage certificate, the steward muttered in a low voice: There is only one yard and one hundred acres of land. His tone was very disdainful.
The elder heard clearly and his face turned purple with anger. He said: We don’t have only one girl in our family. We won’t lose anyone, and we can’t lift anyone up to make other people lose face. If you feel bad, then let our family lose face.
Please return the girl's horoscope
The people of the Wang family did not expect the eldest man to be so tough, and they were at a loss at that time.
Mr. Wang also looked very unhappy when he heard this. He gave the steward a hard look and said coldly: Am I the matchmaker or are you the matchmaker? He also explained that Miss Luo's fields are near Hangzhou Prefecture.
Near Baoding Mansion. I really couldn't figure it out, so I suppressed the steward of the Wang family.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but feel sad when she found out.
Hangzhou Prefecture is a densely populated city with very little land. A well-to-do family is considered to have twenty or thirty acres of land. It is not as good as in the north, and often has thousands of acres. Look at the Wang family. Not only are they less knowledgeable, but they are also less cultivated than Qian Ming.
Just know what the Luo family gave him. In comparison, he also has merits.
Eleven Niang thought about it happily.
Speaking of which, she has a lot of troubles of her own.
Judging from the current situation, the marriage may still have some twists and turns. But if the Xu family dares to do this, they must be somewhat confident.
Thinking about it, Mrs. Eleven Niang had a vague feeling that she would definitely marry into the Xu family in the end.
She never lives by chance and has to consider the people around her in advance.
When Wu Niang got married, she brought with her all the attendants except for two maids and two bedrooms. In the past two days, she bought two maids and two bedrooms. It is said that they were prepared for Shi Niang. From this point of view, she
They can only bring four maids and two bedrooms to accompany them. No matter what, the Luo family needs a bowl of water in general.
Who to take with you is still a question
Eleven Niang asked Amber intentionally: Tell me, what should we do?
Amber couldn't help but show some caution on her face.
She knew that this was a crossroads and an opportunity for her to serve Eleven Niang with all her heart over the past year.
Although she said that she was rewarded by the eldest lady, Miss Eleven would definitely take her there when she went to the Xu family. But after being brought there, how could the eldest lady fall out with Miss Eleven because of a maid? Moreover, she had been observing Miss Eleven carefully.
Miss No. 1 discovered that she was not just gentle and kind as everyone said. Her gentleness was tinged with alienation and politeness, and her kindness was also low-key and forbearing. And what shocked her the most was that Miss Eleven never complained.
.
No matter she was treated unfairly or heard unbearable rumors, she remained as calm as water and not impatient. Speaking of which, Miss Eleven was just a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old.
Whenever she thinks of this, Amber feels a little scared.
What will happen if Miss Eleven gets angry?
The thought just flashed by, and she said without a moment's hesitation: Sister Dongqing is already twenty years old this year, and there are many things at home. The eldest lady did not think for a moment that if you left, I'm afraid you would just find a young boy to accompany you.
Amber frankly said everything she could think of. Sister Dongqing must be taken away. Binju served Miss Binju very wholeheartedly. Although Zhuxiang didn't speak much, she was introduced by her aunt, and I thought she was pretty good.
As for Qiu Ju, although she is smart, she has children at home. When we went to the Xu family, she might not be able to find out some things.
This means that both Dongqing Binju and Zhu Xiang are loyal to her. Qiu Ju used to help her find out information because her parents were both in the Luo family. Now that she has gone to the Xu family, her advantage is gone. If she wants
Among the five people to be eliminated, Qiu Ju will be eliminated.
Very insightful.
However, a very important reason why she kept Qiu Ju here was because she didn’t want to put Qiu Ju in a dilemma. After all, no one knew what would happen to her after she went to the Xu Mansion, especially what the eldest wife would ask her.
What kind of request? If it was just to save Brother Chen’s life, then that’s what she should do. It’s okay to say. I’m afraid the eldest lady has other ideas.
Sorry to disappoint everyone. Hee Hee Eleven Niang went to Bucheng Temple
