Chapter 184: Firecrackers

After lunch at the Madam's house, Zhen Jie'er followed Eleventh Lady into the main house with some hesitation.

Seeing that she had something to say to her, Eleventh Lady asked Luyun and Hongxiu to make a bed to serve Xu Lingyi for a while, and she and Zhenjie'er went to the east room.

What's wrong, she asked Zhen Jie'er with a smile.

Zhen Jie'er hesitated for a moment before saying: Mother, I want to spend the New Year with my second aunt.

Eleventh Lady was slightly stunned.

Zhen Jie'er hurriedly said: My second aunt is alone in Xishan's home, and I have my eldest brother, second brother, third brother and Zhun brother. I am a girl again.

It means that there are not many more of hers at home, but there are not many less of hers. The second wife is alone, but she can be a companion after she goes there.

The idea is good.

But after all, she is the eldest lady of the Xu family. If she is not at home, she is afraid that the first one will not work if the lady is the first one.

Looking at the careful and considerate Zhen Jie'er, Eleventh Lady still took a step back.

I'll mention it to your dad. See what he says

Zhen Jie'er also knew that her request was too incredible, but when she thought of her second aunt's cold expression and lonely figure, she still couldn't help but express her thoughts. Now she heard Eleventh Lady willing to tell her about her neck, and she showed a bright smile: Thank you mother

Seeing her smile as bright as the moonlight, Eleventh Lady changed her previous cautiousness and caution, and was worried that her tone would be too big if she couldn't do it, wouldn't it disappoint Zhen Jie'er even more?

Don't be happy too early. She poured cold water on Zhen Jie'er in advance, but I don't know if your father agreed or not?

Zhen Jie'er didn't care and her smile was still bright: No matter whether she agreed or not, her mother was willing to help me talk to her in front of her father.

Eleventh Lady was slightly moved.

She had never seen a child who knew better than Zhen Jie'er.

Back in the room, Xu Lingyi was leaning on the big pillow on the bed and looked at: Sister Zhen is asking you for something

He asked with voluntarily, and there was no better chance than this.

Eleventh Lady smiled and said to Zhen Jie'er's meaning: Listening to the third sister-in-law's tone, she will send someone to deliver the New Year's things to her sister-in-law tomorrow. If Zhen Jie'er could follow her, I don't know how happy her sister-in-law would be.

Xu Lingyi thought for a moment and said: I will discuss with my mother later.

He is willing to come forward and the matter is sure.

Eleventh Lady breathed a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to ask about the second wife: Why don’t you adopt or adopt a child? In this way, you can not only choose the incense of the second wife, but also save the loneliness of the second sister-in-law.

A trace of gloom flashed in Xu Lingyi's eyes, and after a while, he said: "Sister-in-law doesn't want to do it. She doesn't want to force her. As she said, she put down the book and lay down, and I'll take a break. She looked like she didn't want to talk too much, and turned over and went to sleep.

Eleventh Lady was very surprised. Thinking that this was his family matter after all, she didn't ask much, and helped him tuck his quilt and went to the warm room in the east for a while.

When Xu Lingyi got up, she was gone.

Seeing that the wife was still asleep, the Marquis went to Banyuepan. Luyun answered carefully while looking at Eleventh Lady's expression.

Eleventh Lady nodded. Seeing that it was still early, she asked her to move the embroidered shelf to the large kang next to the window in the inner room: The progress was too slow.

I have already embroidered a half letter. Lu Yun smiled and went to move the embroidery shelf. You are so busy.

As he was talking, Amber came in: Liu Yuanrui's family is here.

The Chinese New Year is coming, and I am afraid there is something urgent to come at this time.

Eleventh Lady hurriedly asked Amber to bring her in.

This time she wore a lilac trouser and her hair was tidy and neatly combed, looking very energetic.

She bent her knees and saluted to Eleventh Lady. She smiled and said, "The New Year is coming soon. Although we are far apart, we want to come and invite a wife to the wife. I thought about the past few days that the wife was afraid that she would be busy receiving the wife of the officials and the wife would be clamoring you at this moment. Everyone pushed me out and wanted to ask her wife to give us a few words of blessing, so that we could also get along with her wife's blessing."

Really good at talking.

Only Wan Daxian is in the mansion for her family, and she can pay New Year's greetings to Xu Lingyi with the managers of the mansion. Not to mention the rest of the people living far, even if they rushed over to pay New Year's greetings, it would be very shabby among the Xu family and other women and servants wearing gold and silver in the house. It would be fine if only Eleventh Lady's family was there, but the Xu family lived together. In comparison, there must be those who were talking about the high and low, which made Eleventh Lady embarrassed. It would be better not to come.

Eleventh Lady was not afraid of others laughing at her. She felt that the weather was so cold, and she came from all over to salute her, which made her mobilize others. After hearing what Liu Yuanrui’s family said, she took advantage of the situation and asked Lu Yun to serve the pen and ink, and let Hong embroider the big red gold-spread paper cut in a square, and wrote seven or eight lucky words in one breath in the warm pavilion in the east.

Liu Yuanrui's family kept applauding. After she finished writing, she watched Lu Yun and Hongxiu take the gold-sprayed paper into the hall to dry it. She diligently stepped forward and helped Eleventh Lady to go to the big kang next to the kang in the west.

The word "Madam" is written so fast that the Wanyi Sect family must sigh again. While looking at Eleventh Lady carefully, she smiled, "You don't know." Wanyi Sect knew that you were interested in giving your boy around them, so they ran to me every day, either carrying ribs or pork waists to our house. They laughed so hard that I couldn't do it.

I'm exploring her tone

Eleventh Lady smiled but didn't say anything else to her.

Liu Yuanrui's family was still calm and spoke according to her intentions, and never mentioned the three words "Wanyi Sect".

Eleventh Lady nodded secretly as she looked at her, and the topic turned to some human relationships and the head of the family.

The Liu Yuanrui family had already found out that the Xu family is now the third wife. Some people think that although Eleventh Lady is going to be the first, she is young and doesn’t know when she will take over. Second, there are many people in the mansion, and it is not Eleventh Lady’s house to accompany her. Even if she has good jobs in the future, it’s not her turn. It’s better to take advantage of the opportunity of the Third Lady to replace her. Eleventh Lady can’t change all the people, maybe she will have the luck and sit firmly.

She originally thought that if she had been the same, she would have done this, but after several contacts with Eleventh Lady, she changed her mind.

This fourth lady is young, but she is very kind and acts more steadily. Even if she lives like her for more than twenty years, she may not be able to do it. I also heard that she was liked by the great lady when she entered the mansion, and even the marquis was polite to her. She hurriedly restrained her slenderness and flattered her with a twelve-pointed spirit.

When Eleventh Lady asked about the housekeeper's affairs, she thought she was preparing for the future hosting, and she didn't dare to be careless. She said everything she knew, and said nothing she heard about. She smiled and said happily.

When Eleventh Lady saw that Liu Yuanrui's family was not only flexible in observing their looks, but also spoke with a good word without exaggerating. She also had her own style of being a favorable guest to be the head of the family. She was very satisfied. She listened more and asked less.

As he was talking, a little maid came in and reported: Manager Bai had someone send a small tent to send him a tent.

So fast.

Eleventh Lady was stunned and ordered Luyun to get it in.

Liu Yuanrui's family hurriedly closed the topic and accompanied Eleventh Lady to check the tent.

He took five tiles in one breath. Two plain ones, one embroidered with Cordyceps, one weaving with folded branches, and the other is five blessings holding clouds, both of which are extremely exquisite. Especially the plain ones, as gentle as smoke, is not ordinary at first glance, and Eleventh Lady likes them very much.

Manager Bai said that if the wife was not satisfied, she would just tell the style and let the Ministry of Internal Affairs help.

No need. It can be done occasionally, and I often go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It's too sarcastic, so that's great.

The little maid agreed and went back to General Manager Bai. Eleventh Lady picked a plain one and asked Amber to replace the original big red tent.

Liu Yuanrui's family looked straight and looked at him.

I thought to myself that it’s not for the Luo family that the people in the Luo family were envious when they mentioned the Xu family.

He smiled and went up to help, but he only dared to change the big red silk tent, and did not dare to hang the plain and fine tents.

Before he finished his work, Hongxiu brought the word "Fu" with dry ink over. Another little maid came to report that the three concubines were here.

Liu Yuanrui's clever way of taking the word "Fu" and thanked Eleventh Lady, and the little maid led it out.

Eleventh Lady sat in the east room by the window and the three aunts sat around the kang. The little maid served tea. Eleventh Lady asked Amber to read the list of things to the four rooms in the mansion for the New Year to the three aunts.

Aunt Qin was full of surprise. Aunt Wen was startled and then showed an obvious expression. Qiao Lianfang sat aside with cold eyes and drank tea, as if these things had nothing to do with her.

After Amber finished reading, Aunt Wen immediately said: Sister, you are the mistress of the family, so you have the final say in the family. Where is it our turn to talk too much

Qin Auntie did not understand Eleventh Niang's intention, but understood Auntie Wen's words and hurriedly said: Madam, I have the same thoughts as Auntie Wen. I will listen to you all.

Qiao Lianfang sneered when he heard this.

What Gongzhong has divided is just the Chinese New Year's candy food, and it is not the dividends in the shop. Eleventh Lady is naturally willing to be generous.

When Eleventh Lady saw Qiao Lianfang not saying anything, she ignored her and said with a smile: It’s fate that everyone can be together. I have no other meaning. There are not many things, so everyone will divide them according to the number of people in their respective rooms and have a good New Year. It is my wish. She smiled and said, if you think there are fewer things, I really can’t bring out more.

How could I think that Aunt Qin’s expression is silly and honest? This year I have 200 taels of silver more than in previous years.

Eleventh Lady's heart was thrilled and said quietly: That's good, then draw a list of the things Xu Siyu Zhenjie Erzhun Ge and the three aunts should have to share with each other. Then everyone will send the maid with the key to Amber to get the things.

Aunt Qin responded respectfully; Aunt Wen thanked Eleven with a smile, as if Eleven had given her some treasure, and was very attentive. Qiao Lianfang just nodded coldly.

Eleventh Lady talked about the on-duty matter: According to the Marquis' tone, fireworks will be set during the Chinese New Year. At that time, the house will be banquets and operas, and each room will arrange the people on-duty persons on-duty persons in each room, so as not to see that no one in the house will leave the things or accidentally overturn the candle. Each room will start from tomorrow and until the Lantern Festival, and arrange the people on duty every day and night every night and hand it over to Amber.

All three of them were stunned.

You can go back tomorrow
