Chapter 156: Moving

Before dinner, Mrs. Tai made an excuse and said she had something to tell Sister Zhen, so she left Sister Zhen in the inner room. Eleven Niang held Brother Zhen in her arms and called Xu Siqin, Xu Siyu, and Xu Sijian to the hall.

Sister Zhen will move to my place tomorrow. I told the wife that you brothers will go to my place for dinner tonight to congratulate Sister Zhen on her move. She looked at the three Xu brothers with a smile.

Xu Siqin and others all showed surprised expressions.

Xu Siyu was the first to come to his senses, looked at his mother and said with a smile: What should I do, brother Zhen? His eyes were deep, like the vast night sky, shining with unknown light.

Eleven Niang said with a smile: He is not young anymore. He can't play with his sister every day. He will stay with his grandmother and be taken care of by her. Sister Zhen will temporarily move to live with me.

Xu Sijian immediately grinned and said: Okay, okay. We will go to the fourth aunt's place for dinner tomorrow. He also said to Brother Chen, there is good food.

Brother Zhen looked at Xu Sijian with a smile: There is something good to eat.

Xu Sijian made a face at Brother Chen: It's none of your business to have good food. You are a little white rabbit, you can only eat grass.

Brother Zhen is still in his filial piety period.

He couldn't understand Xu Sijian's words, but felt that Xu Sijian's tone was bad, and retorted: You are the little white rabbit. I am the big tiger.

Xu Sijian chuckled: A big tiger being held by someone.

After hearing this, Brother Zhun was about to jump down to find Xu Sijian. Eleven Niang hugged him tightly: Third Young Master, you said last time that you wanted to take Brother Zhun to ride a horse. I think it’s better to choose a day than to hit it, so let’s do it tomorrow.

Xu Sijian laughed sarcastically after hearing this, and looked around as if he hadn't heard anything.

Brother Zhun saw Xu Sijian being crushed by Eleven Niang's words, and stopped jumping down, sitting in Eleven Niang's arms with a smile on his face.

Eleven Niang whispered to Brother Zhun: If others say something bad about you, just say it in your words. It is not the behavior of a gentleman to jump down and settle accounts with others.

Brother Zhen nodded as he listened.

Xu Siyu looked at the two of them with obscure eyes.

Xu Siqin came out to rescue him: Fourth Aunt, do you think we will arrive tomorrow?

Eleven Niang said with a smile: You can just go and say hello to your grandmother.

Everyone should go there at the right time. When the third master and the third wife arrived, Eleven Niang took the opportunity to tell Sister Zhen that she would move tomorrow and invite Xu Siqin and Xu Sijian to have dinner there.

After hearing this, the third master agreed and told the two brothers: Don't be naughty.

Xu Siqin and Xu Sijian hurriedly agreed, and they went to pay their respects to the dowager.

Mrs. Tai looked at Eleven Niang and finished speaking. She smiled and took Sister Zhen out to eat.

After dinner, Third Master asked Sister Zhen: If there is anything missing in the house or if there is anything you want, just tell Third Auntie, we will give it to you.

Sister Zhen said politely: Grandma and mother are ready, there is nothing missing. Thank you Third Uncle and Third Aunt for your concern.

The third lady was still afraid of what the third master would say, so she hurriedly smiled and said: There are a lot of good things in my mother's treasury.

The third master smiled after hearing this and stopped insisting.

The eunuch ordered Mother Du to take Sister Zhen and Brother Chen down to rest, and whispered to the third master and his wife: Tomorrow the younger ones will go to celebrate Sister Zhen's move. Come over here early for dinner, and we'll play leaf cards.

The third master and the third wife hurriedly responded.

Seeing that it was getting late, everyone dispersed.

Early the next morning, Eleven Niang went to the east wing to take a look. She saw that the ground dragon was burning and the furniture had been wiped clean. Then she went to say hello to Madam Tai and pick up Sister Zhen.

Sister Zhen wore a moon-white chinchilla skin coat, a beautiful blue skirt, and a red gold chrysanthemum given by the eleventh mother. She respectfully kowtowed to the wife three times.

The madam's eyes immediately became moist.

Get up quickly, get up quickly. As soon as I finished speaking, tears fell down.

Eleven Niang hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of Tai Madam's eyes: She still lives in the same courtyard. She comes with me to say hello to you every day and comes to talk to you in her spare time.

I know. Mrs. Tai took the veil from Eleven Niang. She was such a small person. She said and gestured with her hands. She has grown so big and left me for the first time.

Sister Zhen burst into tears after hearing this.

Eleven Niang watched and felt that she seemed to have become the murderer who forced life and death, and her eyes became wet involuntarily.

Don't cry, don't cry. The Madam held Sister Zhen in her arms and wiped her tears. Remember to listen to her mother when she went.

Sister Zhen nodded repeatedly, and Brother Zhun was led in by the wet nurse to greet the wife. Looking at this scene, she started crying. For a while, the room was full of crying.

Eleven Niang hurriedly went over to comfort Brother Chen.

Mrs. Tai had restrained her sadness and asked Eleven Niang to carry Brother Chen over: Okay, okay, don't cry. My sister is going to live with your mother. You have to go see her off happily. But don't care.

What can I say? Brother Chen couldn’t stop crying.

Brother Chen, do you want to send your sister to my place? Shiyi Niang said, we are going to decorate a house for my sister today. Do you want to go?

Brother Zhen nodded repeatedly and looked at the Madam with tears in his eyes.

Mrs. Tai touched Brother Chen's head and told Mama Du: "You can take him over there." She said to Eleven Niang, "You don't have to come over later."

Mother Du smiled and agreed. Sister Zhen, who was reluctant to part with Eleven Niang, said goodbye to Mrs. Zhen and went to Sister Zhen's residence.

Sister Zhen's things have been packed away. Two big maids, Xiaoli and Xiaoque, and several second- and third-class maids and women were already waiting aside. Seeing Eleven Niang coming in, they all bowed and bowed. Sister Zhen

He asked his wet nurse Hu and several respectable maids to come forward and salute Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang smiled and accepted the gift, but she was secretly counting the number of people in her heart.

One wet nurse, two big maids, two second-class maids, four third-class maids, four little maids, and two rough ladies are really a lot of people. For the time being, there is no problem in squeezing in her place.

It will be inconvenient for everyone as she grows older. It is better to find a way to find a separate yard for her in the back garden as soon as possible.

Eleven Niang thought about it, and went to her residence with Mama Du and Sister Zhen and Brother Zhun.

From a distance, she saw a maid who looked like Qiu Hong next to Aunt Wen poking her head at the door. When she saw them coming, she immediately turned around and ran away.

Eleven Niang smiled slightly.

Aunt Wen still thinks about her daughter

After entering the door, Hu Hui, who was waiting at the door, winked at Eleven Niang, and then led other women and servants to bend their knees to salute Sister Zhen: I have met the eldest lady. Then he stepped forward and introduced himself formally: I

It was Amber who was next to the fourth lady. She bowed to the eldest lady and said, bending her knees and blessing her again.

Sister Zhen's face was slightly red, but she accepted their greetings calmly and said: "Sister Hubo, please get up. We will live together in the future, and please give me sister Hubo's advice."

Hu Huo said hurriedly: Miss, the words are serious, please break this slave.

Sister Zhen asked her maid, Xiaoli, to reward Amber with an eight-cent silver pin: to buy flowers for her sister. She introduced her nurse, Mama Hu, and her maid, Xiaoli and Xiaoque.

Amber accepted it generously, bent her knees again to thank Sister Zhen, and introduced Mother Tao, Dongqing Binju, Zhuxiang and others.

Sister Zhen rewarded her, and Eleven Niang and others went to the main room where she lived.

Amber Tao's mother and Xiaolihu's mother accompanied them, while Dongqing and Binju stayed to help Xiaoque and others organize the cages brought by Sister Zhen. Eleven Niang and Sister Zhen sat on the west side next to each other.

On the big kang by the window, he put Brother Zhen on the kang to play, and asked the little maid to bring a brocade tea table for Mama Du to sit on. She served tea and snacks, and personally introduced to Sister Zhen the situation here, such as how many maids there were.

Sister Zhen listened carefully and introduced the people around her.

Eleven Niang asked Sister Zhen about her daily routine again, and found that the two of them had similar schedules. She said happily: That's good, so that you don't have to adapt here again.

Sister Zhen smiled slightly, and Xiaoque came over and said: Madam, eldest young lady, everything has been sorted.

Eleven Niang smiled and pulled Brother Chen: Let’s go see my sister’s new house.

Brother Zhun, who was listening impatiently, cheered, took Eleven Niang's hand and followed her to the east wing.

A picture of peonies and chickens hangs in the middle hall, a chiming clock and a blue and white porcelain goblet are placed on the long table, a sapphire blue brocade cushion is placed on the black lacquer Taishi chair, and there is a pot of tall wintersweet flowers in the corner.

Sister Zhen's eyes looked like morning stars, and she walked over and stroked the bright yellow petals of the wintersweet flower.

Sister’s house is so beautiful. Brother Zhun shouted and pushed open the door of the North Room and ran into the inner room. Sister, come and see, your bed is here.

Sister Zhen glanced at Eleven Niang with a confused face and quickly went to the inner room.

There is a small painted bed exactly like the one in her greenhouse.

Tears filled her eyelashes and she looked at Eleven Niang with a smile: Mother

Eleven Niang took her hand and went to the inner room: I saw that your bed is very beautiful. I searched in the library and found a similar one. Then I pointed to the bedside board. The one you have is Wuyang Kai.

Tai, this is Magu’s birthday present.

Sister Zhen nodded, but her tears couldn't stop falling.

Eleven Niang took out a handkerchief and gave it to her: "Stop crying, today is a happy day."

Sister Zhen took the handkerchief sheepishly and wiped her tears.

Eleven Niang asked Brother Chen: Do you think there is anything missing in my sister’s house?

Brother Zhen turned around with great interest and pointed to the window sill of the inner room: there would be a tall plate with oranges, apples, and chestnuts.

Eleven Niang laughed: Our brother Chen really knows how to enjoy it.

Mother Du and Sister Zhen also laughed.

The atmosphere in the room is warm and beautiful.

A little maid reported: Madam, Aunt Qin and Aunt Wen are here to say hello to you.
