Chapter 93 Greetings and a pink ticket 72o

Xu Lingyi found Eleven Niang's tone strange.

It's not the kind of provocation that wants you to talk, nor is it the kind of test before small talk. She is just curious, and then asks him like a student who encounters a problem and asks his teacher for advice.

Xu Lingyi couldn't help but be silent for a moment before saying: In the Guizhou area, Sichuan also occupies a small area. It is very remote and has many mountains.

Eleven Niang said oh, and then Xu Lingyi heard the sound of flipping through books, obviously looking for the places he mentioned.

Seeing how serious she was, Xu Lingyi couldn't help but ask: Why do you like reading regional chronicles?

Eleven Niang turned her face sideways and looked at him with a smile: Because in this way, you will know that the outside is very vast and your little troubles will be nothing.

Her voice was faint, with the aftertaste of the lingering sound of an empty mountain.

Xu Lingyi was stunned.

Is she enlightening herself?

With her back to the light, she looked at her own eyes, which were shining with an indescribable light and hidden meaning.

He suddenly found that his heart was beating very fast and he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

Eleven Niang has turned away, lowered her head and flipped through the book: Where is the northwest?

Her voice was soft, and her fair and slender neck was slightly drooped, forming a graceful arc. The dim light fell on it, and the thin down was hazy as if it had been sprinkled with a layer of gold powder.

Then he smelled a faint fragrance. He couldn't tell what it was. It was faintly visible, but it penetrated deep into his heart.

Out of nowhere, he suddenly reached out and touched the back of her neck.

She suddenly froze when the big calloused hands in her memory suddenly rubbed the back of her neck.

No way

The sound of turning pages suddenly stopped.

The soft skin under the palm became a little stiff.

Her forbearing expression that night suddenly came to his mind.

As if touching a hot potato, Xu Lingyi suddenly retracted his arm: Go to bed quickly, we have to get up early tomorrow

Eleven Niang was stunned.

She was sure that it was not an unintentional sweep, but a purposeful caress.

But gave up without warning

Why

But the result made her relieved, and she would not be stupid enough to pursue anything.

Pretending not to know anything, she responded with a smile, leaned over to blow out the lamp, and huddled under the quilt.

For some reason, Xu Lingyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Eleven Niang fell asleep quickly.

She knew that if he wanted her, she had no right to refuse.

Therefore, it is useless to think about these things. It is better to sleep well, recuperate and cope with tomorrow's things.

In the haze, there was a slight rustling sound beside me.

Is he still turning over? He is the eldest in the family. He is qualified to do anything, including staying up in the middle of the night. But she couldn't think of it. She turned over and fell asleep again.

When she woke up, it was dark and very quiet.

She was stunned for a moment, then immediately touched her side.

empty

Holly's voice was low and hoarse.

The tent was immediately lifted, and a bright light flashed across her eyes.

Madam, you woke up. Holly's voice was calm and contained a smile.

Eleven Niang was slightly startled: What time is it?

There is still a quarter of an hour before Maozheng.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but sigh.

Fortunately, I didn't waste time to say hello to the Dowager Madam.

The Marquis has gone to court. The smile in Dongqing's voice is even more obvious, don't let us wake you up.

That’s why you didn’t wake me up. Eleven Niang murmured softly, thinking that the rustling sound she heard dimly was the sound of Xu Lingyi getting up.

Dongqing didn't hear Eleven Niang's muttering, smiled, turned around and raised the tent.

The soft and bright light from the five-bead round ram's horn palace lantern shines in.

Mr. Hou Chou got up early. Dongqing helped Eleven Niang get up. He drank a bowl of porridge, ate two steamed buns and three steamed buns. He also brought some meat cakes. Chou was going out. Linbo came to pick him up.

The Marquis. She explained Xu Lingyi's affairs in detail.

Got it. Eleven Niang nodded and went to the clean room to freshen up. Just as she sat on the mirror, a little maid came in and said: Madam, Mother Tao is here.

So early

let her in

The little maid went to tell Mother Tao.

A round-faced woman in her mid-twenties walked in quietly, bowed her knees and saluted her, then took the boxwood comb on the mirror table and began to comb her hair.

This woman's husband was named Nanyong, and everyone called her Nanyong's daughter-in-law. She was the one who specialized in combing hair in the mansion, and she was singled out by the dowager to reward her. The peony bun she wore back at her parents' home was the masterpiece of Nanyong's daughter-in-law.

Just put on a simple braid. Eleven Niang told Nanyong’s wife.

With a smile on her face, Nanyong's wife responded softly and combed her hair neatly.

Tao's mother walked in quickly.

Madam, please make her smile and bend her knees to salute Eleven Niang.

Mom, what's the matter so early?

Tao's mother glanced at Nanyong's wife.

Eleven Niang felt that Nanyong's wife was moving faster.

She quickly wrapped her arms around Zhuan'er, then bent her knees and bowed before retreating.

Tao’s mother said: My aunt also has a hairdresser around her. Why don’t you use it? It will be more convenient for talking.

Eleven Niang refused without thinking: Nanyong’s daughter-in-law was rewarded by the Dowager.

Mother Tao couldn't help but pause, and after a while, she whispered: "When is the right time to meet the people in my aunt's house?"

Let me wait until I see the Madam. Yuanniang has been dead for more than a year, so the Madam must have made arrangements for this matter.

Mother Tao couldn't help but frown slightly, and was about to say something else when a little maid came in and said: Madam, three aunts are here to pay their respects to you.

Eleven Niang nodded, and the little maid went to call the three people in.

Aunt Wen smiled and greeted Mother Tao: Good morning.

Tao's mother nodded a little indifferently.

Only then did she and Aunt Qin Qiao Lianfang salute Eleven Niang.

Because she was going to see the madam, Eleventh Mother greeted them for a few words and then beat them. Then she had breakfast, changed some clothes and went to the madam.

When she arrived, it was still a quarter of an hour before Chenzheng. Unexpectedly, the third master, the third wife, the fifth master, and the three masters and grandma from the south had arrived early and were together. Seeing the eleventh mother, the third lady smiled and said hello: Good morning, fourth brother and sister, I heard

The Marquis has gone to court. It must be hard to serve the Marquis early in the morning.

Eleven Niang didn't say anything, just smiled, and then greeted everyone.

The grandma said: We are going back to Nanjing today, and we came here specifically to say farewell to the Madam.

Eleven Niang was polite to her: Why don’t you stay a few more days?

Hong Da Nai smiled and said: There are many things at home, I will bother you some other time.

Just as he was saying this, Yao Huang came out and said, Mrs. Grandma, please come in.

Everyone filed into the dowager's house.

The madam was sitting on the Kang by the window drinking tea. When she saw them coming in, she smiled and said: Here they are.

Several people hurriedly came forward to salute the Madam. The maids brought the Imperial Chair and placed it on the left side in front of the Madam's Kang. The men sat down and placed the small spoons on the right side of the Madam. The female family members sat down.

The maids served tea, and Xu Linghong announced his intention to return to Nanjing today.

Mrs. Tai left a message, Xu Linghong declined, and Mrs. Tai said a few words about coming to play during the Chinese New Year, and then she personally sent them to the door. The third lady and the eleventh lady sent them to the door of Chuihua.

The third master and the fifth master were sent to the dock.

Looking at the carriage going away, the third lady smiled at Eleven Niang and said: I won't accompany my brothers and sisters. There are still a bunch of maids and daughters-in-law waiting for something to happen in my courtyard.
