Chapter 108 Home Pink Ticket 96o
The fifth lady took the menu without even looking at it, and said with a smile: Just follow what the third sister-in-law said.
The third lady smiled.
The fifth lady came over and took the eleventh mother's hand: Fourth sister-in-law, please make some needlework for your nephew when you have time.
Eleven Niang looked at her belly with a smile: As long as you don't mind my poor skills.
The fifth lady smiled: Even my mother, who is well-informed, thinks that my fourth sister-in-law is good at needlework, let alone me.
The third lady smiled and asked: "What did the fourth brother and sister make for mother? Why don't you give it to me to open my eyes?"
Even if the Madam's obscene clothes were finished, it would be impossible to show them off, let alone unfinished ones.
Eleven Niang smiled and said: Some small things are not worth mentioning.
The third lady wanted to ask more questions. Wei Zi pulled up the curtain and came out of the inner room. She smiled and bowed to the three of them: Madam, please come in.
The three of them stopped joking and filed in to greet the Dowager Madam.
The wife then asked the third lady about the sacrifice held on the first day of October.
Mother, don’t worry. The third lady smiled and said, everything is ready. On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, she gave the maids all their winter clothes. She then apologized to the eleventh mother and said: There are many people in the house, so we started making winter clothes in July. We have been making winter clothes for the past four days.
I don’t know how many people from my brother and sister’s side are here to marry. So I haven’t made winter clothes for your room. However, I will give you the money.
What does she need money for? Can she take the money and not give it to the maids and women in the house to wear? Besides, she sees the maids and women in Xu Mansion wearing clothes, except for the first-class maids in each room and decent mothers like Mother Du.
, all wearing the same clothes, how could the maid in her house be an exception?
Eleven Niang smiled: They always need to wear clothes. Third sister-in-law doesn’t need to give me any extra money. She can just ask the sewing room to make clothes for them.
The lady nodded slightly after hearing this: Just make it before the Chinese New Year.
Yes. The third lady nodded quickly after hearing this.
Back in her room, Eleven Niang called Mother Tao and asked: When I was at my parents' house, the eldest maid and the more respectable mother had four sets of clothes a year, and the others two sets of clothes a year. What are the rules of the Xu Mansion?
Mother Tao smiled and said: The eldest maids and more respectable mothers have eight sets of clothes every year, and the others have four sets of clothes. Because there are so many people, spring clothes are made in winter, and summer clothes are made in spring. The spring clothes are changed on the sixth day of March and the sixth day of May.
Summer clothes are changed into autumn clothes on the sixth day of September, and winter clothes are changed into winter clothes on the sixth day of October. They all follow the rules of the palace, but they are just two days later than the palace.
Eleven Niang nodded, but she was grateful to the wife for not letting her host the wedding ceremony as soon as she walked in. Otherwise, all these bits and pieces would have troubled her brain.
Mother Tao told her about many of the rules of the Xu Mansion. It is said that they are basically the same as those in the palace, but not as grand, and the etiquette is much simpler. She also smiled and said: So our Queen is in charge of the Sixth Palace without any effort at all.
While the two were chatting, Eleven Niang was sewing.
Tao's mother saw that the color was a bit bright, not like Shiyi Niang's own, and smiled and said: "Who are you making needlework for, madam?"
Eleven Niang smiled and said: Help your mother make something small.
Tao’s mother’s eyes were very complicated.
After sending Mother Tao away, Eleven Niang called Dongqing.
Let's move there tomorrow. If there's anything wrong with it, let's stay here for now. I also asked Amber to give her the last fifty taels of silver, so you can use it sparingly. When people have hope in a difficult situation, they will have more fighting spirit, and he said to her
: The Marquis sent Manager Jia and Wan Yizong to visit our farm. It will be fine after this period of time.
Dongqing smiled with tears in her eyes: "These fifty taels of silver are enough for several months. Don't forget, we only had two taels of silver for a month."
Eleven Niang laughed: It’s good if you think so.
Dongqing went back to pack her things, and the next day, Hubo and others sent her out of the house without mentioning it.
At noon, the Eleventh Mother went to Mrs. Tai's place for lunch. The Mrs. Tai would take Sister Zhen and Brother Zhun to the Second Madam's place in the afternoon. The Eleventh Mother had to do needlework, so she did not go to Mrs. Tai's place after her nap.
Time flies when she has something to do. If Xu Lingyi hadn't come back, she wouldn't have known that it was already the time to become an official.
Eleven Niang called Xia Yi to come in to change Xu Lingyi's clothes, and she packed up her needlework. After Xu Lingyi came out of the clean room, they went to the madam's place together. After Xu Siqin and others got off school, everyone gathered around to have dinner. Everyone moved to sit down again.
Went to the hall to drink tea and chatted for a long time before they dispersed.
Eleven Niang was silent on the way. When she returned to the house, she made tea for Xu Lingyi, made the bed, and then turned on the lamp and fell asleep.
Why aren't you reading? He asked lightly as he looked at Eleven Niang who was wrapped in a quilt.
I have been sewing all afternoon today and am a little tired. Eleven Niang smiled and let her eyes rest.
Xu Lingyi groaned, feeling that there was nothing to say and closed his eyes.
After a while, he felt that the breathing of the people around him became evener.
Xu Lingyi looked over through the moonlight and found that Eleven Niang had fallen asleep.
What a child he was. He couldn't help but curl up his lips.
Two days later, Manager Jia came back, and Manager Bai accompanied him to see Eleven Niang. Eleven Niang had asked Wan Yizong to wait aside. After introducing each other, Wan Yizong and Manager Jia went to Wanping.
Big tits are here.
It was agreed that the two aunts would each receive twenty taels of silver per year to practice shaving in Ciyuan Temple.
Eleven Niang really wanted to ask about the whereabouts of the five thousand taels of silver. She didn't know if Da Bo and the others knew about the silver. After thinking about it, she still didn't speak.
Da Nai looked at Eleven Niang and hesitated to speak, thinking that she was worried about the money for annual offerings, and said with a smile: Thanks to Fifth Uncle this time. Then Master Jining said it would be one hundred taels per person per year, if it weren't for Fifth Guy and her
As for consumption, each person cannot produce one hundred taels per year, but he has to produce fifty taels.
The fifth brother-in-law has always been very shrewd and good at talking. Eleven Niang said with a smile.
Who says it's not the case? The big girl admires Qian Ming very much when she mentions it. Wu Niang is also a lucky one. I only hope that the fifth uncle can be nominated for the gold medal in the next year and stand out.
Eleven Niang asked the eldest wife: Does mother know?
Still didn't tell her old man.
Where is Shi Niang?
Your eldest brother said that you can't hide for the rest of your life. Yesterday morning, I went to the palace and told Shi Niang. Da Nai sighed, Shi Niang didn't cry or make trouble, and she looked like she had known it for a long time. She just stared at your eldest brother.
Very gloomy. I am afraid that your eldest brother will hate us when he comes back.
Eleven Niang smiled and talked about some household matters with Da Nai. Seeing that it was getting late, Da Nai got up and left: "We can't live without people at home now."
She and Da Nai went to greet Mrs. Tai, and then personally escorted her to Chui Hua Gate. She often brought Brother Xi to the house to play, so as to prevent them from becoming brothers.
The big boobs nodded repeatedly: Bring him over to play when you have time.
After sending off the big breasts, Eleven Niang wrapped the finished obscene clothes in white silk and went to the dowager's house.
Mrs. Tai liked the tight needle angle very much when she saw it, and asked Mama Du to take it away. She waited for Xu Lingyi to come back and had dinner at Mrs. Tai's place before going back.
Xu Lingyi asked Eleven Niang: Manager Jia is back
Eleven Niang smiled and said yes.
Since that night, Xu Lingyi felt that her condition was very low.
He sighed secretly.
Two days later, Wan Yizong sent her a message back: Manager Jia said that sandy land is best for growing melons and sloping land is best for growing fruit trees. Neither of the Xu family's farmhouses have experienced people. However, I can help you find them. .Let me get back to you, Madam. If you find one, hire her or send someone to learn from her.
What do you mean? Eleven Niang asked Wanyizong.
It would be best to hire someone directly. He sounded a little frustrated and sent someone to learn from him, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to learn it for a while.
Da Zhou Ling. Even a ducal family like the Xu family only has twenty households of slaves, and the Luo family is not qualified at all. And people like Wanyizong, because they are poor and have no land, the Luo family earns an extremely low annual salary. They are hired to work with money. But if there is a wedding or funeral in the family or someone is sick, and the wages are not enough to pay the debt, they will borrow money from the employer. As time goes by, the money borrowed becomes more and more, and the work done every year is not enough to repay the debt. As time goes by, As a result, the boss has become the biggest creditor, and with the saying that debts from fathers are repaid by sons, these people have become good citizens who are free but unable to be free.
If Eleven Niang wants to hire people to manage her farm again, they will not even have food to eat, how can he not be frustrated.
Don’t you have three sons? If you can’t even keep your own roommate, how can those who follow Yuan Niang follow you? Eleven Niang is already riding a tiger and can’t get off. Moreover, she doesn’t want to leave her roommates behind. They Traveling all the way from Yuhang to Kyoto is just for a bite to eat.
Wan Yizong's eyes lit up: Madam, don't worry, if we can find a master who can learn how to grow melons and fruit trees, we will definitely follow him with all our heart.
I'm afraid it's not that easy. Eleven Niang said with a smile, if you steal other people's jobs, how can others obediently give their jobs to you.
Wan Yi Zong said with a smile: Master, let us in. Let each of you practice.
This attitude is pretty much the same
Eleven Niang smiled with satisfaction, and then told Wanyizong in detail: Go to the market and ask how much those fruits cost per pound. We also have an idea.
Wan Yi Zong responded and left.
When Xu Lingyi came back in the evening, she felt that Eleven Niang was in a much better mood. So she asked her: How many days do you want to go back and stay?
Eleven Niang was startled, and it took her a while to come back to her senses.
In two days it will be the tenth day of October.
Before she knew it, she had been married to the Xu family for a month.
To be honest, she didn't want to go home to live at all.
Let me think about it and tell you tomorrow that she is going to ask Mama Tao. The third lady Yuanniang and the fifth lady have each gone home to stay for a few days.
Xu Lingyi thought that she was always cautious, and knew that she must have asked Mama Tao and others how many days it would be appropriate to stay back. Then he said: I'll go and talk to Mrs. Tao.
But never
Eleven Niang thought to herself.
Which mother-in-law likes her son to defend his wife in front of her? At least the Luo family doesn’t have such a thing
She hurriedly smiled and said: Mom has always been gentle, and I'm not afraid of saying this in front of her old man. I really didn't think it through. I was afraid that Xu Lingyi would pursue her, so she changed the subject with a smile: My sister-in-law came today. She said that the fifth brother-in-law had already divorced her. Master Jining has agreed that each person will be supported with twenty taels of silver per year.
Seeing her hastily change the topic, Xu Lingyi couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Did I really not think about it or did I not want to go back at all?
There are so many great people in our comment area, onno haha~
