Chapter 84: Coming out of the Cabinet

On an autumn night, the moonlight is very bright, shining lightly through the window lattice and falling on the blue floor tiles, full of peace and tranquility.

Looking at the bright red and gold brocade clothes hanging on the clothes rack, Eleven Niang didn't feel sleepy at all.

I will marry into the Xu family tomorrow, are I really ready?

She couldn't help but turn over.

Wu Xiaoquan came to Yanjing from Yuhang not only for Luo Zhensheng's marriage, but also because she had two villages and two courtyards as a dowry, so the eldest wife asked Wu Xiaoquan to bring four accompanying rooms from his hometown in Yuhang. One of them was named Jiang Bingzheng.

, it is said that they are Jiang's mother's brother-in-law, who is in his early thirties this year; one is named Liu Yuanrui, who is the same age as Jiang Bingzheng; one is named Wan Yizong, who is thirty-eight years old; and the other is named Chang Jiuhe, who is thirty-two years old.

Wu Xiao's family once proudly told her that she had helped select these four families. Wan Yizong and Chang Jiuhe were good at farming, and Jiang Bingzheng had once been the shopkeeper of the Luo family's shop in Hangzhou.

Because he offended Mr. Tao, who was in charge of the Luo family's business in Hangzhou City, he was driven to Zhuangzi. Mr. Tao, the third uncle of Yuan Niang's mother Tao, was a very insidious and cunning person. Even mother Tao had to be careful about this.

As for Liu Yuanrui, he is very honest and does good farming work. The main reason for choosing him is because his wife cooks good food. On big days like the Spring and Autumn harvest, Liu Yuanrui's chef is always the chef.

He is capable. When the time comes, Liu Yuanrui and his family can be asked to take care of the yard. They can live in the yard when they are free, and there will also be someone to take care of food and drink.

Eleven Niang smiled and thanked Wu Xiao's family, but did not contact the four families. Instead, she asked Hu Hu: Do you know them?

Hu Bo pondered and said: I know Liu Yuanrui. This man was originally the head of the village, and he was very honest. When he was mentioned here, she paused and was squeezed out by Xu Ma's nephew. If her wife hadn't been able to do it, she would have

I'm afraid I won't be able to gain a foothold in Zhuangzi after joining Wu Xiao's family. However, she cooks very well and is often asked to help cook for weddings and weddings. Although I don't know Jiang Bingzheng, I have heard of him. He is said to be very flexible.

At that time, he wanted to earn the position of general manager of Hangzhou Prefecture with Mr. Tao. Later, Mr. Tao found out that he had embezzled the money for goods and kicked him to Zhuangzi. If Mr. Wu hadn't kept him safe, the eldest wife would have kicked him out. He said

Then, she hesitated for a moment. He didn't know how to farm. Even in Zhuangzi, he fished three days and dried nets two days. He happened to be related to Mr. Wu, and there was nothing we could do about him.

Eleven Niangs are Wonderful: Why did Wu Xiaoquan protect him?

Amber smiled and said: He married Manager Wu's niece.

On one side is Mama Jiang, on the other is Wu Xiaoquan, who is also competing with Mr. Tao for position. This Wang Bingzheng’s background is quite complicated. However, if he can come, he should have two brushes. For example, the wife of Liu Yuanrui’s family, her husband’s errand was

Xu's mother and nephew supported her, and she was able to establish relationships with Wu Xiao's family, and was eventually sent to Yanjing as a roommate.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but slightly chin.

Wan Yizong and Chang Jiuhe, I have never heard of Amber Dao. Do you want me to ask about it? People in Liu Yuanrui's family should know.

They are both quite young, and they are familiar with each other. Once you meet them, you will know what kind of character they are.

Eleven Niang said with a smile: Forget it, this is just a one-sided statement from Wu Xiao's family. Who knows what the mother will arrange.

Amber was speechless.

Eleven Niang remembered another thing.

Yesterday, Mother Xu told her that the eldest lady would ask her to bring four maids there.

She thought about it and asked Amber to call Dongqing. Then she sent Amber and asked Dongqing alone: ​​Maybe I can only go with the four of them. What do you think?

Dongqing was startled when she heard this, lowered her head, and then said after a while: Miss, for the sake of my service to you, please make me a serious person. As she said this, tears fell silently, forming on the skirt.

I drank a little water.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but sigh softly.

Dongqing must have thought that she was in trouble, so she deliberately reminded her in private so that she could be mentally prepared.

Don't worry, I will take you away first. She smiled to appease Dongqing's confusion, and she would not let you fall into the hands of Mother Yao.

Holly nodded with tears in her eyes: Miss, I will repay your kindness by being a cow or a horse in my next life.

What do I want you to do like a cow or a horse? Eleven Niang couldn’t help but laugh.

She called Bin Ju again and asked.

Bin Ju was very straightforward: Of course she would find a way to keep Amber. She also had an idea, Miss. How about we let Amber take some laxatives like we did before?

Eleven Niang couldn’t help but laugh: That’s not possible

What should I do? She frowned, and I felt bad when I looked at her. After thinking about it, I told Eleven Niang that Amber had gone to Shi Niang to show off. You often ask us to be patient. She was fine, for a few pieces of clothes

I became proud. I was afraid that she would cause trouble for you.

Yes. Eleven Niang nodded with a smile, I understand. I will take care of this matter.

Binju breathed a sigh of relief.

Eleven Niang asked Qiu Ju.

Qiu Ju thought for a while and looked at her seriously: Miss, let me stay.

Eleven Niang was very surprised.

Qiu Ju smiled and said: I want to go back to Yuhang. My mother, father, brother and younger brother are all in Yuhang.

She knew when to say what to say and knew what she wanted. Eleven Niang suddenly felt very reluctant to leave her.

I couldn't help but hold her hand: Is there anything in particular you want?

Qiu Ju secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she knew that the master she served was not a narrow-minded person, he was surprised to let her go like this.

She smiled and said: I want to learn the lady's double-sided embroidery.

That is impossible regardless of the time or the current situation.

Eleven Niang thought for a moment and said: I will tell Mr. Wu to send you to the house in Hangzhou as an errand. Then write an envelope to Master Jian. You can take my letter to Master Jian. As for whether you can succeed in learning.

, it depends on your luck.

Qiu Ju hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed three times to Eleven Niang: "Miss, I will always remember your kindness and virtue."

I mean, he lets her go back to Yuhang to reunite with her parents, right?

When it was time to say goodbye, Eleven Niang discovered that Qiu Ju was a pearl, but unfortunately, she didn't discover it.

With a touch of regret, she asked Zhuxiang: Which four should I choose?

Zhu Xiang's face was full of shock.

She is a little maid who always follows Qiu Ju or Bin Ju. It is natural for her to be surprised when he asks her this.

Eleven Niang smiled and said: You were introduced by Wu Yiniang, I can't leave you at home. But when we go to Xu Mansion, we are not familiar with the place, and we are outsiders, so I am afraid we will encounter many things.

When the time comes, if you guys can't work together, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me. I ask you, I have a plan in mind.

Zhu Xiang lowered his head, wringing his fingers and said nothing for a long time.

Eleven Niang didn't rush her and drank tea quietly.

After a while, she finally said carefully: "Let's keep Sister Qiu Ju. She still has her mother and I in Yuhang."

Eleven Niang's heart was slightly shaken, but she smiled and said: Qiu Ju has served me since she entered the house. I'm a little reluctant to part with it. Now it's Amber.

Before she finished speaking, Zhu Xiang raised her head.

The big eyes were filled with panic: Please don’t. The eldest wife won’t agree. Wu Yiniang is still in Yuhang. Why don’t you send me back to Yuhang? There must be someone around Wu Yiniang to serve her.

Eleven Niang looked at her and smiled slightly: I understand.

Zhu Xiang said: Don't worry, miss, I won't tell anyone else about this.

Eleven Niang's smile deepened.

A few days later, the eldest lady introduced her to four escorts.

As Hu Hu said, Jiang Bingzheng was an alert man with very sharp eyes. He and Liu Yuanrui, Wan Yi Zong and Chang Jiuhe stood at the door. The other three bowed their heads and did not dare to raise their heads. Jiang Bingzheng actually looked at his eyes.

Eleven Niang did it several times.

Eleven Niang carefully observed the hands of the four people.

Jiang Bingzheng's hands are white and neat, and he doesn't look like a farmer.

Liu Yuanrui, Wan Yizong and Chang Jiuhe both have thick knuckles and rough skin. But Wan Yizong is different from Liu Yuanrui and Chang Jiuhe. Wan Yizong's hands are washed very clean, while Liu Yuanrui and Chang Jiuhe still have dirt left under their nails.

.

Thinking of this, she turned over again.

The rustling sound of clothes and skirts was very loud in this quiet night.

Miss, have you slept?

It was Amber who was sleeping on the bed pedal and keeping watch all night, asking her.

Eleven Niang said softly, not sleeping.

Usually at this time, Amber has something to say to her.

After waiting for a long time, Hu Bo finally spoke: "Master Hou is like this, even if it reaches the sky." Her voice is so soft that it is almost inaudible, as if it is blending into the moonlight. I often hear people say that a grand feast will inevitably lead to a loose atmosphere.

There was also a strong temptation in the book, and he said, "If you climb high, you must fall. Lord Chong, you are not that kind of person."

When Xu Lingyi came back from victory, the emperor once again proposed to knight him. Xu Lingyi wrote a long letter of gratitude and politely declined again. The emperor rewarded Xu Lingyi with ten thousand taels of gold and ten acres of fertile land.

The eldest lady just sneered after hearing this.
