Chapter 239 Coming forward

In the next two days, Xu Lingyi met with Mr. Bai to discuss building a house. Xu Lingkuan was very interested and took the initiative to design the house. Although the Chinese New Year was over, the school had not started yet, and the third master’s whereabouts were unknown, so Tai

The lady was vague and did not let Xu Siqin and Xu Siyu move back to the house in the outer courtyard. The two were so happy that they ran around behind Xu Lingkuan and participated in building the house. Eleven Niang led Sister Zhen to do needlework.

Xu Sijie followed Eleven Niang all day long. Brother Zhun and Sister Zhen had always been very good friends, and they liked Xu Sijie and hung around them. Xu Sijian was not only interested in building a house, but also wanted to play with Sister Zhen and Brother Zhun. After a while,

After a while, it was like celebrating the New Year every day.

Wan Yizong and Chang Jiuhe also came to see Eleven Niang. The former came to ask for his resignation. He and his two sons would be employed by Chen Ping to help Chen Ping plant fruit trees. The latter came to ask for permission from Eleven Niang.

Yinzi's house that was originally collapsed by snow has been repaired. He and his son are plowing the fields, just waiting to buy seeds and start sowing in spring.

Eleven Niang took out her New Year's money and gave Wanyizong ten taels of silver to subsidize him, and gave Chang Jiuhe forty taels of silver for spring plowing.

Liu Ruichun's family went to the house and said that they were entrusted by the Wanyizong family to ask Eleven Niang to be a matchmaker. Eleven Niang wrote Dongqing's birth certificate in red and gold, and asked Tao's mother to give it to Liu Ruichun.

at home.

For Geng stickers, the horoscopes need to be calculated. When the horoscopes match, the next step can be taken. If the horoscopes do not match, the man will pull off two feet of cloth and ask a matchmaker to return the Geng stickers. So although everyone knows about this, they don’t

Who spread the word? When the eleventh mother arrived, she had already started rummaging through boxes and cabinets to help Dongqing prepare clothes for the wedding. Dongqing was embarrassed and avoided the sisters, often doing needlework in Nanyong's wife's room.

Nan Yong's wife moved into the yard behind Aunt Qin with Shuangyu on the eleventh day of the first lunar month. One time, their daughter cried violently. Nan Yong couldn't bear to see it, so he secretly brought the child to see his wife. Yu next to Aunt Wen

When she saw her, she told Lu Yun, Lu Yun told Hu Hu, and Hu Hu told Eleven Niang. Eleven Niang thought for a moment and simply asked Nan Yong's wife to take Niu'er with her: one cow is for herding, two cows are for herding.

Cattle are also raised. She helped me take care of Brother Jie with peace of mind, which is better than anything else. Besides, Niu'er and Brother Jie are about the same age, so being each other's company is good for Brother Jie.

Nan Yong's wife was very grateful and kowtowed to Eleven Niang a few times. She never looked down on her and only let her play in the small wing or in the garden. Fortunately, the child grew up in a large courtyard.

She is not afraid of strangers, but at such a young age, she knows how to deliver things to the maids in the yard. Everyone likes it. You take it with you when you are free, and she takes it with her when she is free. The girl loves to laugh more and more, which attracts Sister Zhen and Brother Yu.

When they saw her, they all coaxed her to play with sweets. The laughter and laughter in the yard attracted the attention of other people in the house.

After a few days of such lively and noisy days, Luo Da Nai came.

Brother Zhun took her hand and shouted: "Auntie, why don't you bring Brother Xiu? We have brothers, sisters, and brothers in our house. Brother Xiu is so pitiful at home alone."

Luo Da Nai smiled reluctantly: Next time, bring Brother Xi. She also took silver coins to reward a few children, and went to the Nuan Pavilion to talk with Eleven Niang.

I'm so angry that I can't help it. I'll come to your place to have a cup of tea to calm down before leaving. She looks angry, otherwise she won't have a good look when she gets home. It will make your elder brother worry in vain.

Looking at it, Eleven Niang knew that Nai Luo had gone to Maoguo Duke's Mansion and returned. She poured the tea with her own hands and asked the little maid to serve dessert: "You are so angry and heartbroken here, but it might be funny over there. You still have to be more open-minded."

, so as not to get angry and lose your temper.

Everyone understands the truth. Luo Da Nai drank a few sips of hot tea before speaking, but she might not be able to control it when it was her turn.

Eleven Niang smiled and moved the plate with pea yellow towards Luo Da Nai's hand, gesturing for her to eat some.

Luo Da Nai shook her head and said: Those side relatives of the Wang family are really nothing. They actually talked about our Shi Niang’s husband behind her back. They also said that she wanted Shi Niang to move to the temple. Unfortunately, their eldest aunt didn’t stop her.

Let's see. I can't hope to sit down and discuss this matter with the Wang family. As he said this, he let out a long breath and showed a bit of sadness. Shiniang is really unlucky.

Eleven Niang remained silent.

Now is just the beginning, I'm afraid there will be more ugly things to say in the future.

Just as I was thinking about it, a little maid came in and said: Madam, the mother next door to Hou Lin from Weibei is here to say hello to you.

"Come in quickly," Eleven Niang said hurriedly. Then she turned around and explained to Luo Da Nai that Sister Zhen came back from Xishan. She brought some home-made food dew and incense, and sent some to Sister Hui of the Lin family.

, I think I came here to say thank you to Sister Zhen.

Seeing that she had guests, Luo Da Nai stood up to say goodbye.

Eleven Niang kept her: she is not an outsider. I just happen to have something to say to my sister-in-law.

Luo Da Nai still sat down after seeing this.

Lin Da Nai's mother brought some cloth over and said it was the fragrant dew sent by Sister Xie Zhen. She also said: Our Sister Hui hasn't seen Sister Zhen for a while and wants to come over for a visit. Then she gave the post to Eleven

mother.

Eleven Niang agreed with a smile, and asked Hu Bo to ask Sister Zhen to come and take the post. They discussed that they would come over on the 28th of the first lunar month to get together. Then she asked Mother Tao to send the two mothers of the Lin family out.

She asked Sister Zhen to write a sub-post: Invite the twelfth aunt to come over and make it fun. She is bored at home alone.

Sister Zhen smiled and went to write a post. Eleven Niang was still talking to Luo Da Nai: How is the situation over there with the Wang family?

It was a mess. Grandma Luo shook her head. The Duke sat in the study every day, while the old lady covered her face and cried. She didn't care about the family affairs. As for Grandma Shi, she was always unruly, but now she doesn't care anymore. She just ignores it.

Lock yourself in the room. Fortunately, Jin Lian and Yin Ping take good care of each other, and they don't have to pay for food and clothing. I rely on my eldest aunt to make the decision for everything at home. But the eldest aunt has to do it for the tenth uncle.

He was running around so much that he didn't really care about his family's affairs. The relatives on the sidelines were all thick-skinned than the city walls, so they found a yard to stay on their own, and stayed in the mansion to eat and drink, so they refused to leave.

.Then the men and women were divided into several groups. The men guarded the Duke, and the women guarded the old lady. They never left, for fear that they would be left alone and some of their benefits would be robbed by others. They behaved in a vulgar way and spoke harshly. They were all the same.

I have never seen the appearance of a small family in the world. It was such a commotion that several stewards did not dare to come forward. They hid whenever they could, evaded whenever they could, pushed whenever they could, and they all shrank back and did not dare to come forward. As he spoke, he lowered his voice.

I heard from Yin Ping that some of the furnishings in the old lady’s house were missing. Someone also broke into Grandma Shi’s house. If Jin Lian and Yin Ping hadn’t driven them away, Grandma Shi would not be spared either. As she said that, she

There was a pause in his tone, showing some uneasiness. I came here to discuss this matter with you.

Luo Da Nai is well-informed and not the kind of reckless person. Since the request comes to him, it must be something he can do.

Without even thinking about it, Eleven Niang said immediately: Sister-in-law, please tell me. As long as I can do it, I will try my best.

Luo Da Nai frowned slightly, but still hesitated for a moment before saying: I saw that those relatives were doing things without any shame, and I was worried that they would have their thoughts on Grandma Shi Gu’s dowry. I thought, if it really doesn’t work, I might as well send a few tall people.

Tell the mother-in-law to move her dowry to the village where you are dowrying her. Even so, she also feels that this is inappropriate, but there is no other way. She can't let those people get confused. Move it to Gongxian Alley

People who are not suitable for the Wang family may think that our Luo family is competing with their family for property. He said with a bitter smile, and the Zhuangzi that the tenth aunt is marrying is the only one in the south. The Marquis family has a big business, and no one will tell you.

I believe that she will covet the dowry of her widowed aunt, and will only say that she is supporting her tenth aunt.

The relatives of the Wang family said that Shiniang Kefu wanted her to move to the temple, and that they broke in to take Shiniang's things. Luo Da Nai's worries were justified. But in this case, the Xu family would definitely be involved.

Go. Do good deeds without expecting anything in return, but you can't let people feel resentful either.

Eleven Niang said thoughtfully: Sister-in-law, I have an idea. You can decide whether it is appropriate or not. Then tell me that Sister Ten took a letter to Gongxian Hutong and said that she was feeling unwell and there were no old people around her who could serve. Please send a few people to guide Jinlian.

and Yin Ping. I will help find a few proper roughnecks to come over. If anyone dares to mess around, just beat them up. I don’t believe you can’t shock those people.

This is a good idea, Big Nai Luo praised it.

She had also thought about this idea, but firstly, the Luo family was not from the locals, and the people they brought were too few to use, so how could they find people for Shi Niang to use. Secondly, she could not find suitable people for a while.

This kind of mother-in-law must be strong and fierce. If a poor family doesn't know her roots, she may be guarding and stealing, so she will lead the wolf into the house and the gain will outweigh the loss. Thirdly, I think that the eleventh mother-in-law has a mother-in-law and a sister-in-law below, so I am afraid to attack her.

Borrowing someone else was embarrassing for her. Now that Eleven Niang had taken the initiative, she was naturally somewhat confident. She was naturally overjoyed that she could help Eleven Niang without involving other people.

Since the sister-in-law agrees, you think it would be appropriate to send a few people there. Eleven Niang was relieved when she saw it, and asked Mother Tao to pick it up early tomorrow morning. As for the wages, I will bear them.

How can I ask you to pay for the Luo family's affairs? Mrs. Luo smiled and said, I will pay for the wages.

Eleven Niang thought for a while: It is okay to use people's money to eliminate disasters. The Luo family took it out, so that it would be more legitimate to call them back.

But I thought in my heart, there is no point in working hard, and who would be willing to go if something happens in the future. It is better to let them accept the favor of the Luo family, and know that they will not suffer any disadvantages when doing things with them.

The two discussed some more details. Luo Da Nai saw that it was getting late and stood up to leave.

Eleven Niang knew that she still had to worry about family affairs, so she asked Hu Bo to bring out some pieces of materials: the two red ones were for the eldest sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law, and the three blue ones were for the third aunt, the fifth aunt, and the sixth aunt.

.This apricot-yellow horse is used to make clothes for Fifth Yiniang.

Luo Da Nai was not polite, and asked Hang's mother to collect her things, went to say hello to Mrs. Eleven, and was accompanied by Eleven Niang out of the hanging flower gate.

Eleven Niang immediately called Mother Tao and asked her to arrange for six tall and rough women to go to Gongxian Hutong early tomorrow morning. She only told the third lady that the Luo family had something to do and wanted someone to help for a few days. She would wait for a few days.

When I met those women, the first thing I did was to clarify the wages with them.

Everyone listened to the Xu family's monthly report, and the Luo family also gave them extra wages. Everyone smiled happily and patted their chests, insisting that they would take good care of Shiniang and would never let the Wang family bully her.

Monday. First update.
