Chapter 178 At the party

Seeing Eleven Niang looking back at her, the eldest lady tilted her mouth and trembled and hummed at her a few more times.

Eleven Niang was shocked.

I didn't expect that the eldest wife's condition was so serious that she couldn't even speak. In this case, why bother to organize a big party? Can't it just be a gathering of a few people at home?

The thought flashed across my mind, and I stepped forward, bowed my knees, and called my mother.

Sister Zhen also very obediently stepped forward to call her grandmother.

The eldest lady didn't even look at Sister Zhen, she just stared at Eleven Niang.

Mother Xu, who was waiting on the side, said hurriedly: Aunt Eleven, the eldest madam has something to say to you.

Eleven Niang stepped forward.

The eldest lady looked at her, her face turned red, and it took her a while to mumble out a few words, but she couldn't understand any of them, so she couldn't help but look at Mother Xu.

Xu’s mother explained: The eldest lady is asking about Mr. Hou’s resignation.

Are you worried about Brother Chen?

Eleven Niang lowered her voice: Mother, please don't worry. Mr. Hou has foot paralysis. It's cold this year, and it's really hard to go to court every morning. That's why he proposed to resign. It's not for any other reason. The emperor also repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay.

.

The eldest lady's eyes gradually softened as she listened, and Eleven Niang breathed a sigh of relief. The eldest lady looked at her with sharp eyes again, and said something like "Eh-huh".

Eleven Niang had no choice but to look at Mother Xu again.

Mother Xu didn't quite understand, so she put her ear to the eldest lady's mouth.

The eldest lady said a few more words.

Mother Xu nodded, smiled and said to Eleven Niang: The eldest lady said, please don’t be impulsive. Brother Zhun is still full of people, who knows what will happen if the words are passed around. She changed the subject with a smile.

: Madam Tai knew that I was coming to see my mother, so she specially asked me to bring two pairs of ginseng to replenish your health. The Marquis also sent someone to prepare some medicinal materials such as Gastrodia Tianma and Angelica sinensis for me to bring over. Everyone is looking forward to you.

Get well soon

The eldest lady nodded slightly.

Seeing that the two of them had finished speaking, Siniang smiled and stepped forward to salute the eldest lady and say hello, and said: Last time, the seventh brother-in-law brought you donkey-hide gelatin from Shandong. How are you eating it? Do you want him to bring more?

The eldest lady smiled stiffly.

Xu's mother answered on her behalf: I would also like to ask Fourth Aunt's grandma to send a message to Seventh Aunt. She said that our eldest wife thanked him. The donkey-hide gelatin is very good, and the supply she brought last time has not been used up. Seventh Aunt and Seventh Aunt's grandma are free to come.

Yanjing, just come to play at home.

I will definitely bring it. Si Niang smiled and exchanged a few words with the eldest lady.

Sixth Yiniang smiled and pulled a young woman in a big coat over: "You haven't met these two aunts yet, right? This is the fourth grandma who is new to our family."

Eleven Niang and Si Niang looked towards the woman.

He is said to be twenty years old, and he looks three or four years older than his actual age. He is of medium height, with skin that is not white but not black either. He has a rectangular face, willowy eyebrows at the temples, and a pair of very clear and bright eyes. He looks very

The spirit is also very calm. She wears a peony bun, a pearl hoop, and two apricot yellow silk flowers.

Seeing the Sixth Aunt introducing her, she bowed her knees generously and saluted the two of them: I am the Zhou family, and I have met these two aunts.

The eleventh mother and fourth mother hurriedly bowed and returned the favor. The fourth mother smiled and said some kind words about how lucky our fourth brother is to have such a capable wife, and took a pair of red gold earrings. The eleventh mother first gave her a pair of red gold earrings.

Madam Tai gave Nan Zhuzhu flowers, and then took a pair of red gold and one drop of oil bracelets that she had prepared as a meeting gift.

Mrs. Zhou neither looked happy because of Mrs. Tai's Nanzhu flowers, nor looked calm because of Si Niang's red gold earrings. She accepted it without being humble or haughty, thanked them both with a smile, and took two pairs of shoes as a return gift.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but look at her with admiration.

It seems that the eldest wife has found a good match for the fourth master.

She brought Sister Zhen to visit her fourth aunt.

The fourth grandma’s gift to Sister Zhen was a silk-faced handkerchief: she embroidered it herself, and she took it for daily use.

Sister Zhen thanked her, and Eleven Niang introduced Third Yiniang and Fifth Yiniang to her.

The two aunts smiled and nodded slightly. The third aunt gave Sister Zhen a gilt silver hairpin inlaid with pearls as a meeting gift, while the fifth aunt gave her a green jade plaque.

Sister Zhen knew that Wu Yiniang was Eleven Niang's biological mother, so she couldn't help but take a second look, and then looked back at Eleven Niang. Seeing that the two were 78% similar, she showed curiosity.

A little maid came in and said: Third Master and Third Grandma are here.

After all, he is his brother. Siniang greeted him with a smile: "Why are you here?"

The third grandma looked at the third master with a smile and said: Before going out, she said that she hadn't had hot and sour soup for a long time, and asked someone to make it for him.

Third Master has lived in Yanjing for a long time, and his living habits are the same as those of Yanjing people.

Siniang smiled and said: Why are you still acting like a child?

The third master smiled naively, seeing the whole house full of female relatives, he saluted the eldest wife with eyes and noses, and then hurriedly went out to the uncle Luo Zhenxing's place. The third grandma and the eleventh mother saw the ceremony, and the eleventh mother

Then she asked Sister Zhen to come and visit Third Aunt. Third Grandma did not expect to meet Sister Zhen, so she gave Sister Zhen a ruby ​​​​knot as a meeting gift. Sixth Aunt then led Fourth Grandma to pay homage to Third Grandma. Third Grandma gave her breakfast

A pair of red gold willow leaf earrings were prepared as a meeting gift for the fourth grandma, and the fourth return gift was two pairs of shoes.

Da Nai then invited everyone to sit down and drink tea.

Qian Ming and Wu Niang are here.

The eldest lady smiled happily when she heard this.

It was obvious that she really liked Qian Ming.

Qian Ming saluted the eldest lady and leaned over to talk to her: You look much better than yesterday. Sickness comes like a mountain and goes away like a thread. Don't be anxious. Anyway, there are matters at home involving my uncle and aunt.

, as long as you take good care of your illness, it will be a great blessing for us as children. His handsome smile and gentle attitude make people feel like spring breeze. The smile in the eldest wife's eyes became even stronger.

After saying a few words, Qian Ming stood up: I'm going to see my elder brother. I'll talk to you later.

The eldest lady nodded repeatedly and said a few words.

Mother Xu hurriedly said: The eldest lady said, let the gentlemen drink some wine.

The taste of intimacy is self-evident.

Qian Ming hurriedly promised: No, no. As my uncle is here, we will not mess around.

The eldest lady smiled and nodded. Qian Ming lowered his eyelids and bowed his head to the people in the room, and quickly went to Luo Zhenxing's place, leaving behind the potbellied Wuniang.

Third Yiniang hurriedly brought an imperial chair for her to sit on.

She sat down with her waist propped up, and Ziyuan was serving her beside her.

Where is Ziwei, the third aunt asked her with a smile.

Oh Wuniang said nonchalantly, "There is no one around to take care of Bachelor Han in the Hanlin Academy. I saw that Ziwei was not too young, so I gave it to Bachelor Han as a concubine."

Eleven Niang was stunned and saw other people in the room also showing surprised expressions. She knew that like her, it was the first time for everyone to hear the news.

She couldn't help but look at Ziyuan and saw that her eyelids were lowered and her expression was dull.

Eleven Niang felt a little uncomfortable looking at it.

I have served her since childhood and married her as a roommate. How could I just give her away and become a concubine?

But this is Wu Niang's housework, and even if she has opinions, it's not her turn to interfere.

Maybe everyone felt the same. For a moment, the atmosphere was a little weird.

The big boobs looked at it and smiled and came out to smooth things over: Hey, why haven’t the tenth aunt and the tenth aunt’s grandma come yet?

Sixth Yiniang immediately followed suit: Yes, why haven't you come yet? I went to take a look and then went to the Chuihua Gate with a smile.

With this interruption, the atmosphere in the room relaxed a lot.

The fourth mother took the hand of the fourth grandmother Zhou and said: This is our fifth aunt's grandmother, you should also meet her.

Zhou bent her knees respectfully to salute Wu Niang, but Wu Niang's expression was indifferent. She took a pair of red gold filigree bracelets as a greeting gift. Zhou's return gift was still two pairs of shoes. Wu Niang smiled and Ziyuan stepped forward.

After accepting it, she turned to talk to Eleven Niang: When did she come? Then she greeted Sister Zhen with a smile: Sister Zhen is a rare visitor.

Sister Zhen stepped forward to salute Wu Niang.

Eleven Niang frowned slightly.

Speaking of which, Wu Niang and Fourth Master are from the same mother, and Fourth Master is a concubine. Life in the Luo family is not easy. It is more important to be affectionate and respectful to the new sister-in-law, and to praise Fourth Master and the couple, but she did something

Fortunately, she was just an aunt. If she was a mother-in-law, I don’t know what kind of tricks she would use to kill her.

While thinking about it, the sixth aunt came in with a smile: Da Nai, Duke Mao's government sent someone to say that the tenth aunt has to go on an errand today and cannot come. The tenth aunt's grandma is slightly ill and will not come.

The atmosphere couldn't help but feel cold.

Eleven Niang glanced at the eldest lady, her eyes were full of ridicule.

When Da Nai saw Bi Xiu, she smiled and said: "This Shi Niang will not come even if the tenth uncle doesn't come. When the time comes when a nephew is born, I, the aunt, will also have to fetch Qiao. I have to ask for help and urge her to go."

After all, I still have to go to Siniang to tease her.

Everyone laughed.
