Chapter 98 In the midst of the storm

After a while, Xu Lingkuan and his wife arrived.

Xu Lingkuan's expression was indeed a bit depressed, and the wife hurriedly asked him what happened. Xu Lingkuan hurriedly smiled and said: It's okay, it's okay. At least he was able to talk the lady over.

The fifth lady looked at Eleven Niang with a half-smile.

Eleven Niang just smiled slightly.

Although there are some things that she doesn't want to happen, she won't avoid them if they happen.

Everyone greeted each other politely, talked with each other with a smile, and then sat at the men's table and the women's table, the older generation and the younger generation, and had a lively meal.

Back in their own courtyard, Eleven Niang and Xu Lingyi had just sat down when three aunts came to say hello.

Eleven Niang asked the little maid to invite in.

After saluting, Aunt Qin and Qiao Lianfang stood aside in silence, but Aunt Wen greeted Xu Lingyi with a smile: I heard that the Marquis came back early in the morning.

Xu Lingyi hummed, took a tea cup and took a sip of tea, his attitude was lukewarm.

Aunt Wen didn't take it seriously, and smiled and chatted with Eleven Niang: I wanted to sit here with you in the afternoon, but who knew that you went to the Madam's place instead. I heard that we played cards and didn't get the upper hand. How about we sisters go first?

Let’s practice playing cards together first. Practice makes perfect. The more you play, the better you will naturally become. I don’t know if my sister will be free tomorrow afternoon. I have a pair of Laozhu Mahjong over there. It’s very handy. I’ll pick it up then.

Come and see my sister. If you think it’s good, stay

Eleven Niang listened to her with a smile.

Aunt Qin looked at Aunt Wen with a smile, while Qiao Lianfang stood aside with her head lowered and her hands lowered.

A little maid came to report that Xu Lingkuan was here.

Eleven Niang was quite surprised.

Such a quick reaction

The three aunts quickly got up and fled to the east room.

Eleven Niang got up and asked the maid to serve Xu Lingkuan tea.

Xu Lingkuan said politely: Sister-in-law, there is no need to be busy. I will leave after just saying a word to my fourth brother.

Eleven Niang smiled and retreated to the east room.

Aunt Wen hurriedly welcomed Eleven Niang to the big kang, and murmured: Why did the Fifth Master come at this time? She didn’t know what happened and said with a smile, but the Fifth Master has always been generous, even if something happened, just

I'm afraid it's not my own business. It's probably someone else's business that I'm asking the Marquis for.

Eleven Niang just smiled and listened. Unexpectedly, Qiao Lianfang suddenly said: Why do you talk so much?

Aunt Wen's face turned slightly red, and a trace of sullenness flashed in her eyes.

Aunt Qin hurriedly smiled and said: Sister Wen is a warm-hearted person. Sister Qiao will know this after getting along with her for a long time. She took the initiative to answer Aunt Wen's words, and what she said made sense. The fifth master came, mostly to ask the Marquis for other people's affairs.

Then I asked Eleven Niang, madam, I heard from Sister Wen that Miss Dongqing is going to your house on Jinyu Lane in the next two days to arrange a few rooms to accompany her. You are short of manpower here, so I will help with the night watch.

This is the first time Aunt Qin communicates with Eleven Niang.

The words were nice and the tone was very gentle. But she was not used to this kind of behavior.

She smiled and said: You are the old man next to the Marquis, how can I let you stay on night watch? Besides, I still have Hu Hu and the others by my side. If not, there is also Tao's mother.

Aunt Qin hurriedly said: No matter how long I stay with the Marquis, I will never let go of my elders or inferiority. It is my duty to serve my wife. If my wife has something to do, I will just take care of her.

Her expression is very sincere.

If he's not sincere, he's just a master of acting.

Eleven Niang hopes she is sincere.

Aunt Qin was born as a maid, and she could not control her life or death; Aunt Wen seemed to be cooking in a raging fire, but she was just a victim used by the family to cling to dragons and phoenixes. Once her own interests conflict with those of the Wen family, the Wen family may not

Take care of her, and Qiao Lianfang. It is certainly her fault to fall into Yuanniang's trap, but without Mrs. Qiao's encouragement, she may not have fallen into such a situation. Including herself. If there was a better choice,

She may not marry into the Xu Mansion.

Since everyone has his own last resort, why should women make things difficult for women?

Therefore, she hopes that Aunt Qin is sincere and will sincerely stick to her position and not be too arrogant. No, it doesn't matter even if she is arrogant in a small way. If the water is clear, there will be no fish. No one has any selfish intentions. Just don't cross her.

Bottom line. She has people she wants to protect, and she has the life she wants.

Over there, Xu Lingkuan was discussing with his brother: After much deliberation, it would be best for us to move to a villa at the foot of Luoyeshan Mountain. It is quiet there and has a good view. We will avoid disturbing the elderly people of the two families.

How can that be done? Xu Lingyi immediately objected. The place is too remote. In this way, you will stay at home for the next two days. There will be an early morning meeting tomorrow. I will discuss with the old Marquis and see what his opinions are. As for what should be done at home?

Those who are evading are still evading temporarily, and you should not move around.

Xu Lingkuan responded and stood up to say goodbye.

Xu Lingyi sent his younger brother out and came back and told his eleventh mother: Don't you have a pound of blood swallows at home? You can send some to your mother and the fifth brother and sister tomorrow morning. The fifth brother and sister are pregnant, and you are the sister-in-law. Go to her place and walk around more.

That's it.

Eleven Niang responded, but she said in her heart, if you slap someone like this, I'm afraid the Danyang County Lord won't appreciate it.

At this moment, the fifth lady was also talking to her wet nurse, Mother Shi: All the people who were born in the Year of the Ox were avoiding it. If nothing else, there were five or six little maids in her mother's house. How could she buy a few temporarily just for this matter?

If the little maid comes in, it doesn't mean she has bought it back. She has to be trained by the mothers, and she won't be able to do it for a while. This is a matter that stirs up a lot of people. Back then, when she caught the shad thing and wanted to clean up the four bedrooms, I

But I didn't say a word, which gave her enough face, but she didn't know how to move forward or retreat, thinking that I was afraid of her. What I did now was just to let the third room have a look. I planned to talk to the wife in a few days,

I moved to Fangsheng Hutong next to Ciyuan Temple, which is not close but not far away from Ciyuan Temple. If I have something to do, Master Jining can come over and see me. But the Eleventh Mother forced me to move like this, which made me feel unhappy.

Mother Shi carefully put the fifth lady's legs together on the imperial concubine's couch, and said with a smile: "You are overthinking. The Marquis is not that kind of person."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu suddenly burst into laughter: Xiao Wu couldn't hear me humming in front of him. As she said that, her face turned red.

That's why the Fifth Master really cares about you. Thinking of the old Marquis repeatedly telling her not to have a conflict with the Marquis, Mother Shi smiled and put the thin quilt on the Fifth Madam. It doesn't matter how petty you are. But you can't let it

There was a conflict between the Fifth Master and the Marquis. What's more, for a person like the Marquis, even if the old Marquis sees him, he must be polite. With the Marquis supporting you, you can enjoy the shade under the big tree. You know, when a father and his son go into battle,

Fighting brothers. In order for this family to live well, the brothers must be harmonious and the sisters-in-law must be harmonious.

Got it, got it. Mrs. Wu said coquettishly, otherwise, why would I have let Xiao Wu go back to the Marquis without saying a word? You are nagging in my ear like this every day, and if you don’t bother me, I won’t.

It sounds annoying.

Mother Shi laughed twice and said nothing, but looked at the fifth lady with eyes full of love.

The fifth lady pulled Shi Ma’s sleeve and said, “Tell me, if the third-bedroom girl knows that I’m moving out, will she jump with anger?”

Since the fifth lady listened to her advice, at this time, she naturally had to follow her advice.

Shi's mother immediately smiled and said: That's natural. Speaking of which, your move made her suffer a lot. You know, the manager Bai of the outer courtyard is also an ox, and the manager Zhao of the emergency department is also a zodiac.

Damn. These two people are used by the Marquis. If she uses your matter to stumble these two people, it will inevitably affect you. Our county master is smart and ignores her at all.

Let's move to Fangsheng Hutong generously. Besides, it's your dowry there, and we are our own people inside and out. You can get up when you want, and sleep when you want.

Mr. Wu was only happy when he saw it and did not blame him.

The fifth lady smiled and nodded: I'll let her go and do the hard work. Don't you just want to separate the family? If she said it clearly, would my mother still stop her?

Mother Shi just laughed and didn't say a word.

If you don’t have money, how can you divide your family?

Eleven Niang made the bed as usual, but when she turned around, she saw Xu Lingyi standing at the door of the clean room, looking at her.

If the Marquis would like a cup of tea, Eleven Niang asked Xu Lingyi with a smile.

No need. Xu Lingyi strode over. Where is your maid?

I saw her making the bed by herself, so I was a little confused.

It's definitely not that Amber and the others don't help, but that Eleven Niang refuses. Do something to deal with the unfamiliar Xu Lingyi, so as to avoid wandering thoughts and stabilize your mood.

It was just some small things she explained with a smile, just casually.

Xu Lingyi nodded, took off his shoes and went to bed: Go to bed early, there will be an early morning morning tomorrow.

Ever since she knew that Xu Lingyi was going to the morning court, she was mentally prepared to get up at the right time every morning.

After turning on the lamp and going to bed, Xu Lingyi suddenly asked her: Is the maid next to you following you since childhood?

Because both Holly and Binju are older than her

Eleven Niang wants to seize every topic that interests her: When she was a child, she followed her father to work in Fujian. When she came back, her wet nurse was reluctant to leave her hometown. The amber holly and rhinopsis were given by my mother after I returned to Yuhang. Zhuxiang is my aunt

rewarded.

Xu Lingyi said nothing.

Eleven Niang continued: My aunt used to be my mother's maid. When I was a child, I thought she was like a fairy. It's a pity that she couldn't come when I got married this time.

Xu Lingyi still didn't move.

But she heard even breathing.

Go to sleep

Eleven Niang thought of Wu Yiniang, who even smiled and had a gloomy look in her eyes.
