Chapter 306 Meeting (Part 2)
Chapter 306: Let’s meet
The eighth day of April is the Buddha’s birthday. At that time, major temples will have Buddha bathing parties. We haven’t been back to Yanjing for many years. April is a beautiful and sunny time. I want to take the children to go shopping and let them go.
It also opened their eyes. They didn’t know if the wife would go out for a walk then. Mrs. Xiang asked the wife with a smile.
It’s the eighth day of April,” Madam Tai prolongs, and looks at Eleven Niang inquiringly. She usually goes to Yaowang Temple to pay her respects. But this April, she will hold a wedding ceremony for Yuan Niang, and I don’t know if she will be able to do so by then.
Take some time off.
In addition to the fact that the ceremony is on April 19th, no matter how busy you are, it will not affect the Buddha's birthday on April 8th. Moreover, the Tai Madam is an elder, and there is absolutely no elder to attend the sacrifice of the younger generation. What the Tai Madam did was completely asking questions.
The meaning of a mother.
Mrs. Xiang came with a bad look on her face, and she actually wanted to bring up the marriage between the two families, which inevitably made Eleven Niang think about it. She felt that Mrs. Xiang was forced to do so because of Mr. Xiang's insistence. She didn't make up her mind. Originally, the child's marriage should be
The parents make the decision, and even the grandparents can only make suggestions without directly intervening. However, out of filial piety to the elders, if the grandparents decide on a marriage, the parents will generally obey. By acting like this, the wife clearly gave up the decision-making power.
Gave it to myself.
She remembered that the Tai Madam had clearly stated her wish to marry the Xiang family before, and thought of Xu Lingyi's attitude, and decided to let the Tai Madam discuss it with Xu Lingyi. After all, this was related to Xu Siyu's future. Which situation was better for Xu Siyu, and they understood the situation.
Be considerate and have more say than yourself.
I've been very busy these days, and in two days it will be my fifth sister's eldest son's full moon ceremony. The eleventh mother apologized, if Mrs. Xiang hadn't mentioned what happened on the eighth day of April, I would have forgotten about it. After that, she
Looking at Mrs. Tai, "Mom, if you have any arrangements, just tell me. The Marquis can also arrange carriages and horses for you."
The decision was given to the madam.
After all, Mrs. Xiang has stayed with Mr. Xiang in office for so many years, and she usually socializes with the families of Mr. Xiang's subordinates and superiors, so the implication is naturally understandable.
She lowered her head and sipped the tea in small sips. She looked calm and calm, but tight on the outside and tight on the inside. She was listening to what the madam said.
But Mrs. Tai was slightly startled when she heard Eleven Niang mentioning Xu Lingyi.
You know, because of the Xiang family's back and forth, they all thought that the marriage was over. Who would have thought that Mrs. Xiang would come to visit in person and offer to see each other. Not only did mother and son not sit down to discuss it, they didn't even know about each other.
Her views on this matter, and Eleven Niang is not someone who would make an issue out of Xu Lingyi for no reason, which made the Tai Furen wonder whether Xu Lingyi thought that the Xiang family was taking advantage of Qiao, so she changed her mind.
Thoughts flashed across her mind, and the madam couldn't even express her stance.
She smiled and said: It's still early. Let's make a decision based on the situation. Then she told Mrs. Xiang about Mr. Xiang's appointment: No matter how she left, she didn't say a word. You also know that your aunt has become more and more deserted in the past few years.
. She didn’t mention a word. If I hadn’t heard the Marquis talk about it, I wouldn’t have known that my uncle had already set off.
Mrs. Xiang was very unhappy when she saw that she had taken the initiative to bring up this matter, but the Xu family had put it aside. But when she thought of her sister-in-law's advice, she smiled patiently and said to Mrs. Xiang: I was waiting for my sister-in-law in those days.
, It turned out that the master was old and returned to his hometown. Our master was busy looking for the master and making official uniforms. He also had no time to relax inside and outside. He only went to the Marquis to say hello.
Next time he comes back, I will definitely let him have a nice conversation with the madam.
The madam laughed and said: I will definitely listen to my uncle talk about the scenery of Huguang when the time comes.
After everyone chatted for a while, Mrs. Xiang got up and went to the second wife's place: "My aunt even went to visit the doctor. Now that my sister-in-law is safe and sound, I must tell my aunt so as not to worry her."
My aunt was so polite. Madam didn’t see the guest off. She stayed for lunch and then went back.
Mrs. Xiang said a few polite words and went to the second lady's place accompanied by Eleven Niang.
The second lady was very surprised to see Mrs. Xiang coming.
Mrs. Xiang smiled and said: Last time I bothered my aunt to visit the doctor. Now that my sister-in-law is well, I came here to thank my aunt. I also took the opportunity to see that Mrs. Tai has a lot of time on the eighth day of April. We haven’t been back to Yanjing for many years and want to go to the temple.
I wanted to take a walk around here so that the children could see the treasures of Yanjing. I didn’t know which temple in Yanjing was the most popular now, so I wanted to be with Mrs. Tai.
The second wife frowned slightly after hearing this: Mrs. Tai always only goes to Yaowang Temple to pay her respects. If my sister-in-law just wants to take the children to watch the fun, it is a bit out of the way. The most popular places are Xiangguo Temple and Baiyun Temple. My sister-in-law has also been there in the early years.
On the eighth day of April, both families gave away fragrant medicine for free, and there was a huge flow of people. My eldest brother was not at home, so if my sister-in-law wanted to go, I would probably have to bring more people.
Mrs. Xiang heard this and smiled and said: You also know that your eldest brother is not at home, so I wanted to be with Mrs. Xiang.
The second lady said nothing and looked slightly worried.
Eleven Niang saw that the atmosphere was not right and immediately took the opportunity to leave.
The second lady said a few kind words and sent Eleven Niang to the door.
Eleven Niang went to the Madam's house.
The lady is waiting for her.
Why did she hold Eleven Niang’s hand? Do you think there’s something wrong?
Eleven Niang relayed Xu Lingyi's words to Mrs. Tai, and said: The marriage was originally a good relationship between the two families, but now they are afraid that the Xiang family will reluctantly marry the young lady. Once there is a gap between the husband and wife, there will be even more resentment in her heart.
.I think that Mr. Hou is very thoughtful and he is acting outside. I am afraid that it is deeper than I thought. I want to ask Mr. Hou what he means.
Nothing would make a mother-in-law happier than a daughter-in-law who can respect her son in everything.
Mrs. Tai’s eyes narrowed into crescent moons with a smile: You are right, you are right. Just discuss this with the fourth child. When the time comes, you will decide which temple to go to to offer incense. Just let me know.
Eleven Niang is not prepared to surrender to the Xiang family.
The two families are relatives. If the Xiang family is willing, they can visit each other anywhere. They can even invite the female members of the Xu family to their home as guests.
The eighth day of April is a grand Buddhist festival. You can imagine the grand occasion and the flow of people on that day. She didn't want the wife to run around and work hard for the younger generation's affairs.
If my mother is planning to go out for a visit this year, we will naturally go to Yaowang Temple. Eleventh mother smiled and said, Mrs. Xiang also said that she just wanted to take her children to see the excitement. In this case, it will be the same wherever you go to see the excitement.
So as not to be crowded around with a large group of people.
This was more in line with Mrs. Tai's wishes. But when she looked at Eleven Niang's calm expression, she couldn't help but feel a little strange: "You don't want to look at it." As soon as the words came out, she was shocked to realize that Eleven Niang was different. Although she was married as a host,
She is the middle-aged wife of the Yongping Marquis Mansion, but after all, she is only a few years older than Sister Zhen, but she has never gone anywhere to join in the fun or to see the strange things.
Will it be too calm?
How about we go to Xiangguo Temple this year? The old man hesitated and said, there will be a temple fair then.
Eleven Niang has seen too much of these excitements. Even if she has not experienced some of them personally, she has seen them in the media.
She said tactfully: No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will change when there are so many people. Not to mention there are so many things at home.
Mrs. Tai remembered that it would be Yuan Niang's wedding ceremony in a few days, so she thought she was not in the mood and said: "Then let's go there next year."
Eleven Niang agreed with a smile and asked Luyun to go to the kitchen to prepare a table of food and wine for Mrs. Xiang. A little maid came in and said: The second lady and the eldest uncle and grandma of the Xiang family are here.
So fast
Mrs. Tai and Eleven Niang looked at the chiming clock in the house at the same time.
Less than half an hour.
As soon as Eleven Niang stood up and prepared to greet the guests, the second lady had already walked in accompanied by Mrs. Xiang.
My sister-in-law has just come back from her parents' home. The second lady said with a calm expression. There are still a lot of things at home waiting for my sister-in-law to deal with. She will go back today and come back to say hello to her another day.
Mrs. Xiang also smiled and bowed to the Madam: Come back in two days to say hello to the Madam.
Mrs. Tai and Eleven Niang stayed for a few words. Seeing that Mrs. Xiang had decided to go, Eleven Niang and Mrs. Eleven sent Mrs. Xiang to the Chuihua Gate together.
The two of them returned to the dowager's house in silence.
The second lady did not even mention Mrs. Xiang's arrival. She kept chatting with the madam about elegant things like picking tea and planting flowers. The eleventh lady guessed that she might have something to say to the madam alone, and excused herself from the post because she had something to do.
The madam and the second madam returned to their own yard.
Mother Song had already taken back the small clothes for Wu Niang's son from her sewing thread.
Eleven Niang picked one up and looked at it.
It's so small, but it's actually the same as an adult's clothes. The sleeves and collar are trimmed with the same amount of trim, like a doll's clothes.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but unfold it one by one and look at it.
Just as he was talking, Xu Lingyi came back.
Everyone bowed their knees to salute her.
What is this? He brought some small clothes. Who did they make them for?
Eleven Niang smiled and said: I made it for the fifth sister’s eldest son.
Xu Lingyi carried the clothes and looked left and right for a long time. He wondered: Can it be worn if it is so small? He also made gestures on his body.
Eleven Niang didn’t know either, so she smiled and said: I asked someone from the sewing industry to make it, so it should be able to wear it.
Xu Lingyi nodded and looked at it for a long time before putting it down.
Mother Song and others hurriedly collected the little clothes.
Eleven Niang welcomed Xu Lingyi to sit on the kang near the window, served her a cup of warm tea, and told Xu Lingyi the purpose of Mrs. Xiang's visit.
Xu Lingyi frowned slightly after hearing this and said: What does mother mean?
Mother asked us to discuss how to get married to the eleventh mother. However, I saw that mother was quite in favor of this marriage. Do you think you should listen to mother's wishes first?
But Xu Lingyi said: Since mother said we should make the decision, there is no need to ask mother about this matter. A daughter is like her mother. Mrs. Xiang ignores the occasion. I am afraid that no matter how docile the second lady of the Xiang family is, her docility will be limited. I think this matter
Let's put it aside for the moment. We are a married family, not enemies. Could it be that they were playing tricks and wanted my mother to accompany them to toss. At the end of the day, her words were stern.
It is indeed troublesome for the couple to disagree.
Eleven Niang nodded and asked for his opinion: Where is the mother?
Just as Xu Lingyi was about to speak, the little maid came in and said: Mr. Marquis, madam, the second lady is here.
