Chapter 143 Visiting

Eleven Niang muttered: Do you know what that boy’s name is?

I know. Hu Bo said, his name is Xiao Luzi, he looks ninety years old. Yang Huizu broke into Xiao Luzi's house for an excuse and took a look. He said that he looked fair and clean, spoke politely, and seemed to be able to recognize a few words.

With a dignified appearance, polite manners, and the ability to read a few words, he is clearly the perfect candidate to be a personal servant.

Eleven Niang smiled slightly and asked Aunt Qin: Is there any movement?

I heard from the little maid next to Aunt Qin that Aunt Qin has a bad appetite these days and has not been sleeping well. Xinghua, the maid next to her, once asked someone to go to Ciyuan Temple to ask for talisman water to drink.

After drinking the talisman water, Eleven Niang couldn't help but open her eyes.

Amber nodded: Aunt Qin believed in Master Jining so much that she donated sesame oil money to Ciyuan Temple every year.

Eleven Niang just wants to laugh.

I don’t have many people in my family, but I have a lot of faith.

She told Hubo that the Lin family might ask her to help inquire about Sister Hui's son and daughter: Our two families live next door, and there must be older mothers in the family who have contacts with people there. Please help inquire about Sister Hui's son.

, we will also be prepared by then. Speaking of things over there in Goldfish Alley, the New Year is coming soon, you ask someone to bring fifty taels of silver. And bring a message to let them celebrate the New Year in peace and contentment. What's wrong with this snow?

Stop talking and then tell Amber to wake me up tomorrow when I am ugly.

Amber nodded and wrote them down one by one. The next day, Chou came to wake up Eleven Niang.

In the middle of the night in the middle of the winter, Eleventh Mother lingered under the quilt for a long time before she got up. She had just finished packing and was leaning on the kang while eating an apple, but she didn't see Xu Lingyi's shadow.

She couldn't help but be surprised and sent Amber to see it.

After a while, Amber came back with a strange expression: Aunt Qiao was serving Mr. Marquis for breakfast, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little solemn.

Unexpectedly, Xu Lingyi had no intention of coming.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but talk to San Ran.

Amber over there stopped talking.

Having lost face like this, I have nothing to fear.

Eleven Niang simply asked her: Is there anything else?

Hu Huo stepped forward and whispered: I heard that Mr. Hou spent the night at Aunt Qiao's place yesterday.

Eleven Niang felt embarrassed.

If you don't want others to be unaware, you have to do nothing yourself. What's more, the three aunts have already sent people to watch every move. It's Qiao Lian's turn to go to bed. Either Xu Lingyi has something to do or is not in the mood. She just spent time there yesterday.

Ye, I sent a capable maid early this morning to find out what was going on. What would happen if this fell into the eyes of an interested person?

She slandered Xu Lingyi in her heart.

Didn't I say that I would be serving breakfast today? How could I not keep my words?

I knew in my heart that I couldn't blame Xu Lingyi.

I just said that yesterday, and Xu Lingyi also came back at that time, so that I didn't have to get up so early.

Why did you make such a mistake?

Or maybe it's because I'm afraid of offending him

Thoughts flashed through.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but nodded secretly.

That’s right. When I said that I would serve him breakfast today, it was all because I felt guilty after rejecting him. That’s why I acted like this today. I felt that by letting me serve him breakfast, he had forgiven me for the untimely refusal and allowed myself to become a different person.

Just feel a little more at ease.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sweat on her temples.

Have you been too cautious?

There is no circle without rules. The male is the outsider and the female is the inside. You should have the final say in the affairs of this family. In whose room you will rest for a few days, even though it was decided by yourself, he also agreed. In this case, what is there to feel guilty about?

of.

Thinking about it, she took a deep breath and felt a lot more relaxed.

Amber looked at her sitting there silently for a long time, with her cheeks flushed. He thought she was embarrassed, so he smiled and said: The kitchen made black-bone chicken soup with cordyceps this morning. I'll have someone bring you a bowl.

"Okay." Eleven Niang nodded. By the way, bring over my small box that contains embroidery. I'll see if there are any beautiful and simple embroidery. I can show it to Sister Hui when she comes and make a show of it.

Hu Bo was happy to see her gradually regaining her calm and generous expression. She dared not mention anything like breakfast for Lord Marquis and Aunt Qiao, so she agreed with a smile and asked the maid to bring the breakfast and brought two little ones with her.

The maid went to take out the box containing Eleven Niang's embroidery items.

Eleven Niang drank a bowl of chicken soup and sat down to pick something. She thought that if Sister Zhen came to her place, Brother Zhun would probably clamor to come, and she would have to find a way to attract him to her room to play.

That's it. My mind kept spinning.

Do you know what little boys like to play with? she asked Amber.

Amber was stunned, thought for a long time and shook his head: I don't know. After a pause, he asked softly: Are you ready to play with Brother Zhen?

Eleven Niang sighed: The things I played at that time seemed not suitable for Brother Chen.

Amber thought for a while and said: Otherwise, I'll go and ask.

Hmm. Eleven Niang said, go and ask, and report to me when you come back in the evening.

Just as he was talking, Nanyong's wife came. She was surprised to see Eleven Niang sitting on the big kang near the window.

Eleven Niang explained that there was no silver 300 taels in this place: Oh, in the next two days, the big girl from the Lin family next door may bring her daughter Sister Hui to the house and ask me to help with needlework and take out the things from the past to look at.

Take a look. See if there is anything suitable and give her a look when the time comes.

Nanyong's daughter-in-law smiled after hearing this: Do you have guests coming? Do you want me to help you cut some window decorations? It's almost the Chinese New Year, and it's also festive. After saying it, she said a little embarrassedly, "My skills are average, I can only cut them."

She was promoted all the way and was successful every year. Mrs. Du’s mother, Mrs. Du, could cut anything without drawing on red paper. She could cut with scissors. She could cut out whatever shape she wanted.

It's true that Eleven Niang has never thought of this, she smiled and said, but you are better than me, I can only cut double happiness. One day, I invited Mother Du to tell us how to cut window grilles.

Nanyong's daughter-in-law looked surprised when she heard this: I will participate too

Eleven Niang thought that she still had children to take care of, so she hurriedly said: If you have something to do, just go ahead and do it.

After hearing this, Nanyong's daughter-in-law waved her hands repeatedly: I'm fine, I'm fine. She smiled sheepishly and said, I also want to learn to cut window grilles from Mama Du, but I didn't dare to say this.

Eleven Niang said with a smile: "Since you want to learn, just follow me and learn together. If you are worried about Niu'er not taking care of you, bring her here. Anyway, there are many little maids in my yard, just let them help look after her."

A child's laughter is the most beautiful sound in the world

Nanyong's wife laughed heartily after hearing this.

The eleventh mother discussed her: You give me a peony bun, just like the way I did it when I went back to my mother's house, but not so high. If the bun is too high, it will look like I am pretending to be an adult. She whispered again, although I

He's an adult

After hearing this, Nanyong's daughter-in-law pursed her lips and smiled. She and Eleven Niang went to the mirror and put on a bun that was a little shorter than the ordinary peony bun. Instead of wearing a hairpin like ordinary people, she inserted two half-moon-shaped coral inlays.

A tortoiseshell beeswax comb is used, and a small lilac flower hangs from the ear. Underneath, she wears a white silk jacket, on the outside is a lake-colored plum orchid bamboo silk quilt with dark patterns, and underneath is an emerald green embroidered oil-green heddle pattern with branches, making her look slim and graceful.

, fresh and elegant.

Eleven Niang also thought it was good, and smiled and asked Hu Bo to get a tourmaline jade bracelet to wear.

There are two jade butterflies the size of fingernails braided in the middle of the bright red plum blossoms, with long red tassels underneath. The bright red color falls on the lake or rests in the emerald green. The whole person is attracted by this little bit.

Her beauty became charming.

The fourth lady is so beautiful. Nanyong’s daughter-in-law looked at her with envious eyes.

Eleven Niang played with two jade butterflies and said with a smile: People rely on their clothes and horses rely on their saddles.

Nanyong's daughter-in-law looked at her bright jade face, her dazzling eyes, and felt that she was even more beautiful than the tassel, but she was not the one who could talk. She just looked at Eleven Niang and smiled. But Eleven Niang looked at it and it was getting late.

, took Amber to the Madam's house.

Mrs. Tai got up early. When she saw Eleven Niang, her eyes lit up and she said with a smile: It is better for people to behave differently.

Eleven Niang smiled and looked at the quilt on her body: It was a gift from my mother. This is one of the pieces of cloth that the Dowager Madam rewarded a few days ago.

The madam looked at it and nodded slightly.

A mother came in with a kang table.

The Eleventh Mother serves the Madam's breakfast.

The madam pulled her to sit down together.

Eleven Niang pursed her lips and smiled: I used a little honey ointment to come here after eating.

When she came closer, the Madam noticed that she had a plain face, but she looked crystal clearer than the average person. Now after listening to her words and looking at her carefully, she discovered that she had plucked her eyebrows and her red lips had a crystal luster.

The madam burst into laughter: You are such a ghost.

Eleven Niang smiled slightly, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

She hopes to maintain a good relationship with the Mrs. Tai, and also hopes that the Mrs. Tai can accept her lifestyle, including the way she likes to dress. She feels that the Mrs. Tai is not that kind of old-fashioned person, and after this trial, she is lucky.

Don’t be disgusted and pass the test smoothly.
