Chapter 248: Excited

Tao's mother went out, hesitated for a while, and went to Shiyiniang's place.

The little maid in front of the door stopped her: Mom, Madam is talking to Sister Amber. Do you want me to call? Although she looked nervous, her tone was very firm, and she didn't mean to ask for her opinion.

Mother Tao knew in her heart that Amber killed the chicken and subdued the monkey.

She smiled coldly and walked away.

The little maid also had the courage to stop people. Seeing that Tao's mother was gone, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and her smile became brighter.

Tao's mother diverted to the back room.

As soon as I entered the arcade, I heard a low laughter coming from Binju Room.

She showed a thoughtful smile and knocked on Bin Ju's door.

Xiulan was the one who answered the door. The little girl's face was flushed, and there was still a smile on her face.

When I saw it was Mother Tao, I was startled, and the smile on my face faded a little, and she murmured: Mother Tao

It becomes so fast

It hasn't even taken a while, but these little maids no longer have the fear they had before seeing her.

It’s not certain who will win in Hedong or Hexi in thirty years.

She suppressed the scolding that came out of her mouth and said: Why is it so lively? What are you doing?

Xiulan came back to her senses and smiled again: Mother Tao, please come and sit in the room. Sister Bin Ju was watching with us the decorations Madam had given to Sister Dongqing. As she said this, she turned sideways to let Mother Tao in, and then

Behind her, she shouted loudly: Mother Tao is here

Someone over there had heard the sound, and the laughter immediately died down by half. When Tao's mother walked in, the room was completely silent.

In addition to Bin Ju, there are also seven or eight little maids including Shuangyu Fangxi Yanrong Lanxuan and others. Everyone is sitting or standing around a round table in the middle of the table and looking at the pure silver hairpins spread out on the table.

.

Mother Tao, you are here. Binju stood up when she saw this. The other maids stepped aside timidly, leaving the round table empty. You are a rare guest. Please sit down quickly.

Hearing Bin Ju's words to please sit down quickly, the few maids came to their senses, and Lan Xuan boldly brought an embroidery pier and placed it in front of Tao Ma.

Tao's mother was not polite and sat down, looking at the decorations on the round table with a smile, and asked Bin Ju: "This is the Madam adding a box to the holly" and casually picked up a Manchijiao distraction.

She was secretly surprised when she got the things.

It turns out to be solid.

From this point of view, if these ornaments don’t cost twenty taels of silver, I’m afraid they won’t be able to get them out. Plus the wages.

Unexpectedly, Eleven Niang was quite generous with the people around her. No wonder these maids worked so hard for her.

And when Bin Ju saw Tao's mother holding the cup with a careless look, she felt a bit contemptuous, thinking that it was Dongqing's dowry, and felt unhappy. She calmly put the things one by one on the red and gold

In the box: Madam also added some silks and porcelain boxes to earn Eleven Niang’s face, but in fact they were not as much as she said.

Just as Yan Rong made tea and brought it over, Tao's mother put the distraction on the table. Fang Xi looked at it and hurriedly put the big red gold box into the high cabinet beside it.

Tao's mother curled her lips slightly as she looked at it.

I'm afraid I won't be able to take the little eyebrows and small eyes.

She picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then said slowly and calmly: Where is the holly? I came to find her on the order of my wife.

Shuangyu sneaked over. She was already at a loss when she saw Tao's mother. When she asked, she immediately said: "I'll go look for it." With that, she ran out as if being chased by a ghost, and gently patted Amber next door to Holly.

Door: Qiu Yu, Qiu Yu, have you seen Sister Dongqing?

Qiu Yu was using an iron to iron Amber's clothes. He answered the door with the iron: He had been shut up in the house doing needlework these days, weren't he at home?

Just as he was talking, Dongqing opened the door over there: What's going on?

Shuangyu looked relieved: Sister Dongqing, Mother Tao said, she was ordered to come to you. You are not at home. She is sitting with Sister Binju now.

Dongqing hurriedly responded and said, "You tell Mama Tao, I'll change clothes and go with her." Then she went back to the house, hurriedly washed herself, changed into an apricot-red coat and went to the Binju House.

Except for Lan Xuan, the little maid who followed Bin Ju, everyone else disappeared.

"Mother has been waiting for a long time." Dongqing said politely, "Let's go over there."

Tao's mother did not get up, but looked at her and laughed: This Shuangyu ran away without even hearing her words clearly. She must have sneaked out of the fifth young master's house.

Dongqing and Binju were startled when they heard this.

Mother Tao explained: Madam asked me to take you to see her. I just want to bring you the dowry list that I have discussed with Madam.

Dongqing's face turned red when she heard this.

Privately, Madam has a very out-of-touch temperament, and this is really something she can do.

I accidentally walked to the door, but couldn't find it. I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat. I turned back to look for it. But the maid said that Hu Hu was looking for his wife for something, and no one was allowed in. I waited at the door for a long time, and I was afraid of the dowry list.

It fell on the road, so I had to look for it again, frowning, and still haven't found it. I'm really worried.

When Bin Ju heard what Tao's mother said, she couldn't help but say nothing, so she could only say sincerely: "Mom, do you want us to help you look for it?"

This is the best, this is the best, Mother Tao hit the snake on the upper body and stood up with a smile.

But Dongqing asked with a smile: If Amber has something to say to his wife, no one will be allowed in. She is so arrogant.

Mother Tao's smile was a little ambiguous: Miss Dongqing is a sensible person. Why do we need to close the door? She said in a long voice, "Does this need to be said?" Then she smiled and pointed to the yard where Qiao Lianfang lived to the east.

The news of Qiao Lianfang's pregnancy had spread throughout the Xu family with lightning speed. Dongqing also knew about it. After hearing this, she reluctantly smiled: The amber was originally rewarded by the eldest wife.

Miss Dongqing is shut up in the house every day doing needlework. I'm afraid she still doesn't know about some things, Mother Tao said. Yesterday, the eldest lady called Madam back to Gongxian Hutong and asked Madam to choose someone from Amber Coral and others to serve the Marquis. Who knows, Madam

He declined politely, which made the eldest lady very angry. Then he muttered something about Amber's mother who was still working as an errand in a village in the south of the Yangtze River. Then she let out an oops and looked like she was self-conscious about what she said. What are you talking about?

It's up to the lady to make the decision.

Bin Ju didn't like how Tao's mother talked about Eleven Niang's affairs in a frivolous tone, and immediately said loudly: Yes, it's up to the lady to decide what to do and do. She also asked her, if the dowry list was dropped on the road, what would happen if the dowry list was dropped on the road?

"Blow, if it falls on the snow, I'm afraid it will be useless. Let's go find it quickly." He said as he walked out.

Tao's mother said hello repeatedly and followed Bin Ju outside.

After walking a few steps, he stopped, paused, turned around and looked back at Dongqing: What a pity.

Then he shook his head and left with a sigh.

What a pity? What a pity?

Dongqing looked at Tao's mother's retreating back with confusion on her face and suddenly covered her mouth.

Her heart was beating wildly, and a struggling expression appeared on her face.

Eleven Niang looked at Amber with a half-smile: I, I, I, I haven't said a word for a long time. This is not like you, Amber.

Amber blushed even more. Thinking of how kind Eleven Niang was to her, she finally plucked up the courage and said, "I want to be your mother in charge."

Eleven Niang nodded and said seriously: So that’s why I thought you needed to exchange money for money.

Amber, whose heart was beating like a drum, couldn't help but be stunned.

Eleven Niang was already looking her up and down: But if the mother in charge is the daughter-in-law, you have bright eyes and a joking tone.

Amber was shocked to realize that she had said the wrong thing. She couldn't help but feel ashamed and embarrassed. She called out to Madam in a coquettish voice and got up to leave.

Amber Eleven Niang stopped her.

Amber pouted and turned around.

Amber, Eleven Niang still has a serious look on her face, but the teasing look in her eyes is no longer there, replaced by solemnity, Amber, I will leave all the matters in my house to you.

Amber was stunned, and her eyes became moist uncontrollably.

As soon as I said a word, the little maid's exclamation came from outside.

The two of them could not help but change their expressions slightly, and both looked out the door.

Then the curtain was lifted and Holly rushed in.

Madam, her face was pale, but there was a strange blush on her cheeks, making her look a little confused.

The little maid who came in behind her was covered in sweat and looked frightened: Madam, it’s not me.

You go down, Eleven Niang said solemnly, then stood up and looked at Dongqing: What happened?

Mrs. Dongqing walked towards Eleven Niang.

The pace was a little slow, a little impetuous at first, but later it became more and more determined.

Eleven Niang stared at Dongqing with disbelief on her face. She watched Dongqing walk over step by step, stopped slowly in front of her, knelt down slowly, and called Madam.

The past events are like shadows, and scenes pass through Eleven Niang’s mind.

She closed her eyes in pain.

There was water flashing in the corner of his eyes.

There was a strange smell flowing around the house.

Amber looked at Eleven Niang in surprise.
