Chapter 223: Turmoil (Part 1)

At this moment, in the flower hall of Luofu in Gongxian Hutong, the atmosphere was lively.

The Wang family of Duke Mao's Mansion sent a steward to say that Wang Lang was suffering from cold and Shi Niang had to take care of her husband, so they could not come to pay New Year's greetings to the eldest father.

The elder didn't take it seriously after hearing this, he just felt relaxed and drank happily with his son and son-in-law. By the end of the day, they still hadn't left. He asked the fourth lady to entertain the fifth lady and the eleventh lady, and the other female family members who had already dispersed had tea and snacks in the pavilion.

While chatting, I took Hang's mother to the kitchen to rearrange the dishes.

Fifth Niang immediately used the excuse that she wanted to see the little clothes that Third Yi Niang had made for her unborn child, and took Fourth Niang to Third Yi Niang's place. Eleven Niang did not stay much longer, and asked Amber Holly to take care of Xu Siyu and others, and got up and went to Wu Niang.

Auntie's place.

The person who answered the door was Liu Yiniang.

She was not surprised to see Eleven Niang, and Eleven Niang was not surprised to see her.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Eleven Niang said: I saw that Wu Yiniang didn’t have anyone serving her, and I was a little worried, so I came here to take a look.

Sixth Yiniang smiled and said: Those maids are so careless in doing things, it would be better for me to take care of them.

Then there is the sixth aunt. The eleventh aunt smiled and entered the house.

Fifth Yiniang leaned on the big pillow on the bed, looking a little tired. When she heard the movement, she asked in frustration: Who is it? Just after she finished speaking, she saw her daughter walking in, she sat up hurriedly, put on her little coat, and said: Eleven

Why are you here? Today is your special day. Come to my place. Does the eldest lady know what the eldest aunt and the fifth aunt are doing?

Eleven Niang knew that she was afraid that someone would catch her when she went on a wrong errand, so she hurried forward and sat on the edge of the bed, stopping Wu Yiniang from getting up: Auntie, please rest now. The eldest wife went to bed, and the big breasts went to the flower hall.

I saw Fifth Aunt's grandma took Fourth Aunt's wife to Third Aunt's place, so I came to you. She told everyone's whereabouts one by one.

Who will take care of these young masters?

Amber and holly are both there.

Wu Yiniang breathed a sigh of relief.

Didn't Eleven Niang know how many months she was pregnant after eating? She asked Fifth Yiniang implicitly, but looked at Sixth Yiniang.

It’s just two months ago. It’s the time when I feel uncomfortable. I’ve only had a bowl of white porridge since I got up in the morning. The sixth aunt said meaningfully. I helped Mrs. Wen take a look, and also asked the doctor to check her pulse. Maybe I didn’t believe it before.

, didn’t dare to say anything.

Eleven Niang nodded.

I'm fine. Fifth Yiniang's face is slightly red. Go and do your work. Sixth sister is taking care of me here.

If nothing had happened, Wu Yiniang wouldn't be so uneasy, right?

Eleven Niang was thinking about it, and the Sixth Aunt was already very discerning and said: Eleven Aunt will sit with the Fifth Sister for a while, and I will make a cup of tea. After saying that, she got up and went out, and carefully closed the door for them.

The fifth aunt's expression became even more relaxed. She looked at the eleventh aunt carefully: Are you okay, aunt? I heard a few days ago that Mr. Hou brought a child back, and I was worried day and night. Today, I see that the child is very clinging to you. This

Then I felt relieved. As I spoke, I slowed down my speech and said hesitantly, I shouldn't have said this originally, but I thought that my aunt is kind and the child is pitiful, so my aunt should treat him more kindly.

Bodhisattva also said that saving a person's life is like creating a seven-level pagoda. If you plant good causes, there will be good results.

Eleven Niang nodded quickly: Don't worry, aunt, I will treat him like Brother Yu.

It’s good that my aunt can figure it out. There is a trace of sadness on the fifth aunt’s eyebrows. Children are ignorant, and if something happens, it is an adult’s business. Don’t look down on this child because of the Marquis. You rewarded him with a piece of clothing.

Eat and save him for the rest of his life. When he grows up and becomes sensible, he will repay you.

She was also afraid that she would have some knots in her heart and argue with Xu Lingyi about the affairs in the outer room.

Eleven Niang thought for a while and said softly: Auntie, I understand everything you said. To be honest, if something like this happened to the Marquis, let alone me, even if the eldest sister was alive, she would not be angry with the Marquis.

.Besides, I treat this child well, and I don’t expect him to repay me. I do things according to my conscience, and I am not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. He said and smiled calmly.

But Wu Yiniang agreed very much, with a face filled with joy: "My aunt has always been more thoughtful than me, it's just me who worries too much."

Eleven Niang didn't come here to talk about this. Seeing that Wu Yiniang was relieved, she changed the subject with a smile: "My aunt was pregnant and she didn't tell me that she was pregnant, which made me worried for a while."

Wu Yiniang was a little embarrassed: This is not a good thing. I am so old.

Why is this not a good thing? Eleventh mother smiled and interrupted Wuyiniang. Think about it, if you give birth to a daughter, I will have a sibling sister. In the future, the two sisters will have care and they will not be alone. If you give birth to a son,

I can rest assured that I will have someone to rely on for the rest of my life. Why is this not a good thing?

She knew that Wu Yiniang was most worried about her, so she took matters into her own hands and hoped that Wu Yiniang would have the courage to give birth to the child.

As expected, Wu Yiniang's eyes lit up: You, you want to have brothers and sisters?

Of course. Eleven Niang smiled and helped her tuck in the quilt. I looked at the fifth sister and fourth brother with envy.

Fifth Yiniang looked at her and smiled, her eyebrows slowly blooming like white lotus, beautiful and pure.

Eleven Niang looked at Yan Envy, took a target mirror, put her face next to Wu Yiniang's face, looked in the mirror, and pretended to complain: Why am I not as good-looking as my aunt?

Her liveliness made Fifth Yiniang very surprised and very happy. She smiled and hugged Eleventh Niang: Auntie is prettier than me. I am incompetent. Her tone was a bit sad.

Eleven Niang made her happy. She smiled and said: It would be great if I could have a beautiful daughter like my aunt.

Wu Yiniang was startled when she heard this. She looked at her belly and said hesitantly: Auntie

No, no. Eleven Niang shook her head, that’s what I thought about.

Wu Yiniang took a long breath and said with a smile: It is better to give birth to a son. Then she gently brushed her temples and said, "After giving birth to a son, you will have a firm foothold in the Xu family. It is best for the child to follow his father's appearance."

In this way, Mr. Hou also likes me. I once took a look at Mr. Hou from a distance. Regardless of his appearance, the child will definitely be a lovable one.

Just as he was talking, someone coughed loudly twice through the door.

Wu Yiniang's expression immediately tightened: Who is it?

Eleven Niang couldn't help but shake her head.

How can I give birth to a healthy child if I am so nervous?

Sixth Yiniang's smiling voice came from outside: "Fifth sister, it's me." With that, she pushed the door open and entered.

The fifth aunt looked at the sixth aunt, and although there was a smile on her face, her spirit did not relax much.

The Eleventh Niang saw this, took the tea from the Sixth Yiniang, chatted for a few words with the Fifth Yiniang, then got up and left: I will come to see my Auntie in two days.

Tomorrow, the third day of the Lunar New Year, is the day when the child leaves his uncle. The wife has no brothers, and they are far apart, so she can take advantage of it and let Xu Siyu and his brother Xu Sijie come and leave Luo Zhenxing and Luo Zhensheng. But this matter needs to be discussed with Xu Lingyi,

At this moment, it was not going to be easy, so she just talked vaguely for two days.

I don’t have anything to do here. You don’t have to come to see me specially. Fifth Yiniang got up to see her off. It’s the New Year and the Marquis has many guests. Don’t make the Dowager Marquis unhappy with these trivial matters.

After all, this can't be done just by saying it. Eleven Niang didn't want to promise, so she agreed with a smile, and asked Sixth Yiniang to send her out: It's cold outside, Auntie, have a good rest, and Sixth Yiniang will send her out.

Fifth Yiniang probably didn't want to go out, so she sent her to the door. She watched Sixth Yiniang accompany Eleventh Niang from the wing of the main house to the main courtyard and disappeared, and then turned around.

Eleven Niang and Sixth Yiniang walked and talked all the way.

The twelfth sister is getting more and more beautiful. She behaves gracefully and gracefully, which makes people like her. When Sister Zhen comes back in a few days, I will tell my sister-in-law that she can take her to my place to walk around.

Partly she wanted to negotiate terms with Sixth Yiniang, and partly she really hoped to create an opportunity for Twelfth Niang.

Don't do it to others if you don't want to do it to others.

She still remembers the feeling of worrying about gains and losses, tossing and turning with fear.

Ecstasy flashed through the eyes of the sixth aunt, and a slightly reserved smile immediately returned to her face. She half-crouched and made a blessing gift to the eleventh mother: Thank you, auntie. I remember back then, the twelfth lady and her aunt lived together.

When we were together, I told her that Aunt Eleven is the smartest person in our house. If you don’t know what to do, just follow Aunt Eleven and learn from her.

Eleven Niang was stunned.

She recalled the quiet and strange feeling in Twelve Niang's house when Shi Niang was smashing things on the roof.

On the way back, Eleven Niang rested her elbow on her chin and sighed: I really want to visit my aunt tomorrow.

Xu Lingyi smiled: I'll go tell my mother. Just take your children back to Gongxian Hutong tomorrow to give Zhenxing New Year greetings.

Thank you, Master Hou. Eleventh Mother immediately thanked you with a smile.

Xu Lingyi touched his chin and said: I am very happy to see my father-in-law like that.

I'm quite happy too. The Eleventh Niang smiled brightly and thought about whether she should help the Fifth Yin Niang make some small clothes. Tomorrow she would go to see her and see if she wanted to bring some medicinal materials to repay the money. I should bring some as well, and thought about it in the lotus.

Mrs. Tai was also very happy when she heard that Wu Yiniang was pregnant: it would be a good thing to have a child for her husband's family.

Eleven Niang responded with a smile.

Xu Lingkuan and the fifth lady had come back a long time ago. The fifth lady was sitting next to the wife, holding a plate and eating apples. When she heard that the fifth aunt was pregnant, her eyes immediately widened: Your aunt must be very beautiful.

At first it sounds like curiosity, but if you think about it carefully, it turns out that your aunt is using sex to serve people.

Eleven Niang didn't think Wu Yiniang was indeed very beautiful.

Xu Lingkuan on the side heard the harsh words and frowned. He wanted to mention something to his wife, but seeing that his mother and brother were both there, it was not the time to talk, so he pursed his lips slightly but said nothing in the end.

The fifth lady looked at her husband out of the corner of her eye and felt a shiver in her heart.

This guy, as expected, sided with Eleven Niang.

It seems that my father was right.

Xu Lingyi, who was sitting under the wife, also felt that what her sister-in-law said today was a bit inappropriate, so she quickly changed her words with a smile: In this case, I think it is better to ask Eleven Niang to bring some medicinal materials to Gongxian Hutong tomorrow. Look.

Look at my aunt.

Alas, I won the favor of the husband but lost the favor of the concubine.

Let’s talk about whether we need an explanation or not.

I follow the good and the good
