Chapter 209 Festival (Part 2)
Chapter 209 During the holidays
Don't you dare? Why don't you dare? The madam pointed at Xu Lingkuan, her fingertips trembling.
The madam did this just to prevent Xu Lingkuan from telling the truth.
Eleven Niang's thoughts changed, and she immediately stepped forward and said: Mom, the fifth uncle did it unintentionally, don't be angry. Be careful of getting angry and hurting your body. After saying that, she winked at the fifth lady, indicating that she would help Xu Lingkuan to plead for mercy.
The Fifth Madam is pregnant. In this case, the Tai Madam must give her some face, so she can take the opportunity to step down.
The fifth lady was startled.
Nowadays, it has been spread all over Yanjing that Marquis Yongping has a concubine and gave birth to a son. Although the identity of this concubine is sometimes said to be a camper, sometimes it is said to be an actor, and some people even say what it is.
The female village head of Miaojiang, in her opinion, was just Yuanniang who didn't know how to behave and made the house so cold that the Marquis wanted to hide his beauty in a golden house. Otherwise, why bother to raise her outside and change her identity?
Yuan Niang still dared to say no to Na. She must be worried that she would become the second Qiu Luo after Na came in. Before she became an aunt, she was charming and smart, but after becoming an aunt, she turned out to be dull and stupid. Men take concubines.
One is to look for children, and the other is to look at beauty. When Yuan Niang arrives, she makes all the concubines look like serious ladies. What’s the point in it for men? Naturally, they will have other thoughts. Even so, Xu Lingkuan was so excited to do it
What
This is a private matter of the fourth room
It's not his turn as a younger brother to take care of it.
She was filled with confusion, but in this case, not only could she not ask, but she could not reveal it. You must know that couples who are not in harmony with each other can also bully their neighbors. If she showed that she was not at odds with Xu Lingkuan in front of outsiders, let alone the wife, she would
I'm afraid these sisters-in-law will immediately look down upon her. You know, a woman without the protection of her husband, no matter how strong she is, can't be stronger than this worldly world.
Thoughts flashed across her mind, and the fifth lady already showed sadness. She took a few steps forward and was about to kneel down: Mother, please don't get so angry. My husband can't speak.
As soon as she bent her knees, Eleventh Mother had already helped her up: You are a person with two bodies, you can't help it, you can't help it, and then looked at the madam as if to beg for mercy.
The third lady was so excited that she realized what she was doing. She immediately stepped forward to help Xu Lingkuan and said something nice: "Yes, mother, you don't look at the monk's face but the Buddha's face. Just let the fifth uncle go this time. He also knows that he is wrong."
The madam's original intention was just to silence Xu Lingkuan, and when she saw that everyone was helping him speak, she looked slightly embarrassed.
Xu Lingyi looked at it and immediately shouted: Get up quickly and stand aside and listen, and don't interrupt again.
After hearing this, the third lady looked at Xu Lingyi. She wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare to laugh. Her expression looked very strange.
The third master looked anxious.
When I heard what happened today, it seemed that the wife was making excuses for Xu Lingyi, and took the opportunity to let the child recognize his ancestor and return to the clan. Whoever was blocking the wife who was going to be unlucky should not bump into him without knowing the severity.
He hurriedly tugged at the corner of the third lady's clothes and said with a hint of truth: Mother has the final say in everything, so what are you talking nonsense about?
The third lady couldn't help but want to laugh again.
But when she looked up and saw her husband's face full of anxiety, he endured it again.
They really figured it out
Aunt Tong has been dead for more than ten years. At this time, she asked the Marquis in a dream to raise a child to carry the incense in his name. I have only heard that the wife died without a son and raised a child to offer incense in his name, but I have never heard of it.
Which concubine can adopt a son like my wife? If you feel so sorry for her, why didn't you investigate the matter carefully back then and just let Yuanniang fool you about what it was? Now that it's so good, she actually wants to give it to her
Raise a son in your name
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Eleven Niang.
She is well-behaved and knows how to be a good person. She is silent and does whatever he wants. After all, no one taught him. You know, this man is like a child. If you slap him, you will get a sweet date. He just lets it go.
, gradually they will no longer take you seriously. If they just hit and scold you, they will gradually become afraid and not get close to you.
However, this is the matter of the fourth room and has nothing to do with me. After the Chinese New Year, I will take my children out of Beijing with my husband, and become an official without the mother-in-law to point fingers and the sisters-in-law to make irresponsible remarks.
Madam. Brother Qin and Brother Jian are also serious yamen. If they say it well and respectably, they will have confidence in their marriage.
She couldn't help but frown slightly as she thought about it.
When I went back to my parents' home to send New Year's gifts, I heard that my sister-in-law had fallen in love with the eldest young master of Zhennan Hou Wang's family. After knowing what she meant, she actually wanted to marry the third daughter of a concubine to Brother Qin.
The thought flashed through her mind, and there was a bit of coldness between the third lady's brows.
It’s true that a dog’s eyes look at people’s bottom.
After the third master has practiced abroad for a few years and has gained qualifications, it is not impossible to ask the queen to be kind and become a minister. When the time comes, I will see how you treat me.
The third lady was thinking a lot, and the third master over there had helped Xu Lingkuan up.
If you have anything to say, say it properly. He advised his brother, "My mother always held you in her mouth for fear of melting, and held you in her hands for fear of falling. You must not break your mother's heart."
We all pushed against the wall, leaving Xu Lingkuan at a loss as to where to start.
Seeing that he still didn't understand, Mrs. Tai knew that the only solution now was to cut through the mess with a quick knife. Fortunately, she had already made a plan.
She coughed twice.
The room immediately fell silent, and everyone's eyes fell on her.
Mrs. Wei Zi shouted loudly to the maid to come in. Go, let Mother Du come in.
Wei Zi answered through the curtain, and after a while, he opened the curtain himself, and Mother Du walked in with Feng Qing in her arms.
Everyone looked stern.
The front foot said that he wanted to raise a child in the name of Aunt Tong, and the back foot carried the child in front of everyone. It was obvious that he had made arrangements in advance.
Look at that child again.
He was looking at everyone in horror with a pair of round and long phoenix eyes.
Seeing two familiar figures, his eyes lit up and he immediately looked at Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang expectantly.
Xu Lingyi was staring at Xu Lingkuan, who was acting strangely today, which made him very worried, and did not notice this at all. Eleven Niang, who noticed this, gave Feng Qing a gentle and comforting smile, telling him not to be afraid.
Fengqing twisted in Mama Du's arms and saw Eleven Niang shaking her head gently at him. She intuitively felt Eleven Niang's displeasure. She suppressed the fear of Mama Du who was a little cold to him because she was almost bitten by him just now.
Hold.
This is the child. The wife is straight to the point and speaks concisely. She is three years old this year and ranks fifth among the brothers. She is overturned in front of her and is in the back. The marquis named her Sijie.
He actually had such a name
Eleven Niang couldn't help but look towards Xu Lingyi.
Xu Lingyi was looking sternly at Xu Lingkuan, whose expression changed slightly.
As for the fifth lady, who had been looking at her husband from the corner of her eyes, her brows were frowning almost invisible.
Eleven Niangs take on the responsibility of upbringing. Mrs. Tai said, bringing the tea cup, it’s getting late, everyone should leave.
After hearing this, the third master immediately pulled the sleeves of the third wife, and smiled and took his two sons, who were a little stunned by the news: Mom, let's go back first. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and we have to worship our ancestors.
The third lady immediately agreed: Yes, mother. I have to get up early tomorrow morning to arrange the New Year's Eve dinner. Let's go back first.
The madam nodded.
The couple took their children and left as if they had been granted amnesty.
The fifth lady looked at her husband who had a dull expression, smiled and pushed him gently: "Fifth Master, let's go back too. The road in the back garden is not easy to walk."
Xu Lingkuan woke up from a dream, glanced at Feng Qing, hesitated to speak, but was not in a hurry to leave.
Fifth younger brother and sister, I have something to tell fifth younger brother. Xu Lingkuan suddenly said, "You go back first. He will go back later."
After hearing this, the fourth brother Xu Lingkuan looked at Xu Lingyi with a complicated expression.
There was an indescribable tacit understanding flowing between the two.
The fifth lady turned her eyes slightly and said with a smile: Then I will go back first. Then she whispered to Xu Lingkuan that the fifth master should be careful on the road when he goes back.
Xu Lingkuan nodded absentmindedly.
Only then did the fifth lady smile and go out surrounded by the maids and wives.
Mother, why did he come to our house? Brother Zhen’s clear and confused voice suddenly sounded in the house. He, like his sister, wants to live with you.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but feel ashamed.
I only cared about Xu Lingkuan, but forgot about the two children
She immediately looked at Xu Siyu who was silent and looked at the child who was willing to talk so that he could communicate more easily, as she was afraid of the child who kept everything in his mind.
Xu Siyu's face was slightly white. He lowered his eyes and looked at the bluestone bricks under his feet. The man seemed to have turned into bricks under his feet, and he remained silent.
He is older, more sensible, and more thoughtful.
After sorting through the rows, he realized what the changed name Fengqing meant to him. He felt it more deeply than others. Fengqing's name was Jing, which meant admonishment, and his name was Yu, which meant warning. In addition to being both concubines,
In addition to showing sympathy for each other, I'm afraid I'm more worried about how important Xu Sijie is in Xu Lingyi's mind.
Eleven Niang stepped forward and touched Brother Chen’s head, and whispered: From now on, he is your father’s adopted son, that is, your brother. Therefore, he will live in our house, just like Sister Zhen’s son, until I
Go to the yard. He is younger than you. From now on, you should treat Brother Jie well just like your brothers treat you.
Brother Chen showed a bright smile: Can I ask him to pour me tea?
Eleven Niang couldn't help laughing: Yes, but you have to wait until he is older. Otherwise, he will be scalded by the hot water.
Brother Chen nodded loudly: I will also kick my shuttlecock for him. After saying that, he stepped forward to take the hand of Feng Qing, who was renamed Xu Sijie, but Xu Sijie pushed him away, and then hid in Du Ma's arms.
, looking eagerly at Eleven Niang.
The madam frowned slightly as she looked at it.
Eleven Niang hurriedly took Xu Sijie and held him in her arms.
His experience made it understandable that he would be wary of strangers in a strange environment, but not everyone would forgive his rudeness, especially when he rejected the kindness of his legitimate son Xu Sichen.
Brother Zhun. She smiled and said, Brother Ji has just arrived at our house, so I am acquainted with you. When I get acquainted with you and know that you are my brother, I will play with you. Then she asked Xu Sijie with a smile, if
Xu Sijie just hugged Eleven Niang's neck tightly and said nothing.
Let’s continue dating onno~
