Chapter 318 Xixi enters

Eleven Niang said with a smile: I can't tell how sincere it is, but it's true that the Zhuo family really wants to get married to us.

The madam frowned slightly and said: Tomorrow is Chen Ge’s hometown to get married. You can go there then. You might as well talk to Mrs. Li’s wife on Wednesday. Spread the news that the Zhuo family wants to marry us.

Eleven Niang was a little surprised.

The madam smiled and said: Today she came in person to deliver Dragon Boat Festival gifts and to see Sister Zhen. It’s okay if others don’t know. If they know, they will just think that good things are coming for our two families.

Eleven Niang suddenly realized and said with a smile: Even if Mrs. Li, Mrs. Zhou and I said something, they were just words said by women and they don’t count.

This is exactly the reason. Madam Tai smiled and said, but don’t say it again, lest the marriage fails and you get trapped in it.

If she goes too far and the marriage fails, everyone will inevitably assume that she has no say in the family.

Eleven Niang responded with a smile, and a boy came in: Mr. Bai said that the person sent by the Marquis to inquire about the news has returned. Should he come in directly to answer the question, or should he send a mother to ask?

The madam smiled and said: I am already old, let him come in directly and reply.

The boy left in response. Except for Du's mother, who was in her fifties, everyone else in the room stayed away.

Eleven Niang was sitting in the west room accompanied by Amber. The room was quiet, and the words in the hall could be heard clearly.

Although he is a side branch of the Wang family, he is the direct wife. When his grandfather was a child, he helped manage the house's internal affairs. In the Prince's father's generation, there are five brothers, ranking second. The one who became the Chief Envoy of Fujian is Wang.

Young Master's fifth uncle. Young Master Wang's father was also a scholar, but he was never very proud of himself in the examination room. Five years ago, he took over the business of the house and helped with the housekeeping. His mother is from Baoding, and her mother-in-law is also from the local area.

After marrying into a famous family, they gave birth to three daughters and one son. They were courteous and gentle, and were well-known as virtuous people among their sisters. One of the three daughters was married to Baoding, one was married to the nephew of Mr. Li, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, and the other was married to the nephew of Mr. Li, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple.

The sons of Mr. Han who entered the Hanlin Academy are all from upright and honest families. Mr. Wang has always been strict with Mr. Wang. Although Mr. Wang is young, he has a calm demeanor. He used to study in the Wang family school and later studied with Han in the Hanlin Academy.

The adults are studying. I just got pregnant last year. I have a maid who has served me since I was a child. She is three years older than the prince.

The lady rewarded her with a tael of silver and took it away. She turned around and asked Eleven Niang: What do you think?

Eleven Niang thought about the maid who was three years older than Mr. Wang, and understood that this problem was not a problem at all in the eyes of Mrs. Tai and others. She smiled and said: I don’t know what the child looks like.

It’s not like I want you to make up your mind at this time. After hearing this, Mrs. Tai smiled and said, it just so happens that the fourth brother is not at home, you can also look around. Then she told some interesting stories about getting married, and after Brother Zhun got off school, she asked him a few questions about school.

Case.

Brother Zhun was very happy with his answer, and Eleven Niang was relieved.

Then the Second Madam brought Sister Zhen’s son Xu Lingkuan and the Fifth Madam brought Sister Xin over. Knowing that Xu Lingyi had something to do, everyone was not too surprised. They waited for Xu Siyu and Xu Sijie to come over. The family happily ate, and the Second Madam

He led Sister Zhen to stay and wait for the Madam to rest, while the others went back to their houses.

As soon as Eleven Niang walked in, Aunt Wen and Aunt Qiao came over.

The two of them greeted her, and Eleven Niang served her tea.

Qiao Lianfang looked at her knees slightly bent, and was about to bow and leave, but Aunt Wen suddenly took out two handkerchiefs from her sleeves: Madam, what do you think of these two handkerchiefs?

Eleven Niang took the veil.

A white piece of moon is embroidered with Magu's birthday, and a big red piece of phoenix is ​​embroidered on the phoenix tree.

Aunt Wen took a few steps forward and walked in front of Eleven Niang. She smiled and said, "I was packing the suitcases two days ago. I thought there were still two handkerchiefs that were good at embroidery. I also thought that my wife was proficient in these, so I went to find them."

I don’t know if Madam likes it or not.

The painting is complex and the needlework is exquisite. It is indeed a rare masterpiece.

Why did you suddenly think of giving yourself a veil?

Could it be because of what Xu Lingyi said when he scolded Aunt Qin?

When Eleven Niang saw Qiao Lianfang standing aside, she couldn't refuse, so she smiled and asked Hubo to take it away: Sister Zhen is learning female beauty these days, let her see it, and it will open her eyes.

Aunt Wen immediately had a smile on her face after hearing this: It's good if Madam can use it. She also said, Mr. Marquis is not at home, why don't I come on duty tonight?

Not to mention the eleventh mother, even the maids and women in the room all looked surprised.

Isn't this attitude too condescending?

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little weird.

Madam has always been kind to us, so we have to look at her. Aunt Wen hurriedly smiled and explained that it was because the Marquis and Madam usually had endless conversations when they were at home, and it was not good for the slaves to always walk around in front of Madam. She said

He covered his mouth with a smile and glanced at Qiao Lianfang.

Qiao Lianfang was slightly startled, her lips pressed into a tight line.

Since the Marquis is not at home today, this servant should do his best.

Aunt Wen's mouth is a wife, and her mouth is a slave, which reminds Eleven Niang of the saying that showing courtesy for nothing is either an adultery or a theft.

No need. Eleven Niang smiled and brought the tea cup. I will give you instructions when needed.

Qiao Lianfang bowed her head in response and retreated. Aunt Wen wanted to say something else, but Eleven Niang had already stood up and walked towards the inner room. A trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and she also retreated.

The next day, as soon as Eleven Niang got up, Hu Hu whispered in her ear: Madam, Aunt Wen came here before dawn.

What made her so anxious?

Thinking of Aunt Wen's tenacity, Eleven Niang thought for a moment and said: Let her in. She won't give up until she speaks out.

Amber responded with a smile and invited Aunt Wen to come in.

Aunt Wen saw Eleven Niang sitting in front of the mirror dressing up, and hurried over. She smiled and held up the box containing the hairpin: Madam, why did she comb her peony hair today? Are you going out?

Usually at home, Eleven Niang would get married casually.

Chen Ge’s hometown is getting married today. Eleven Niang pointed to the little boy beside her, Aunt Wen, sit down and talk.

Aunt Wen smiled and sat on the small stool.

Eleven Niang asked the little maid to serve her tea.

She sat beside him and chatted.

Madam, this dress today is so beautiful. Did the palace give it to you during the Chinese New Year? Your servant looks very new.

The relationship between Mr. Chen Ge and Xu Lingyi is not known. However, the female relatives of the two families do not come to the house unless there is an important event. Therefore, Eleven Niang went to have a wedding banquet, and unlike the Gan family, the Gan family is in-laws, so she was going to attend the wedding.

Yes, so she had to come to congratulate her on the day she laid out her dowry. Chen Ge was a colleague from her hometown, so as long as she caught up with the official banquet that night, it would not be rude. Although it was still early, she still had to go to greet the dowager and handle housework.

Checking Sister Zhen's yesterday's embroidery, Aunt Wen couldn't get around to the topic, so she had to ask: Why didn't Aunt Wen come with Aunt Qiao?

After hearing this, Aunt Wen hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: slave, slave, slave, I heard that yesterday the wife of Mr. Zhuo, the Minister of War, came in person to give her a New Year's gift. She looked at Eleven Niang's eyes full of expectation, and she went all the way.

Saw Miss

It turned out to be for Sister Zhen’s marriage.

No wonder she beat around the bush in front of everyone yesterday.

Eleven Niang sighed secretly in her heart.

No matter how indifferent Aunt Wen was to Sister Zhen and her son, when it came to the fateful turning point of Sister Zhen and her son's marriage proposal, mother and son were so connected that she could no longer stand by and watch indifferently. She even put herself in a humble position for fear of offending her.

Those who can change Sister Zhen's destiny

She thought of Wu Yiniang and her worries and fears in the Luo family.

Eleven Niang pointed to Xiudun beside her and said: Aunt Wen, please sit down and talk.

Aunt Wen looked at Eleven Niang in astonishment.

Eleven Niang nodded and said seriously: Auntie, please sit down and talk.

Only then was Aunt Wen sure of what she heard. She hesitated a little and sat down on the embroidered pier in a reserved manner.

Eleven Niang sent the waiters in the room to put on her earrings in front of the mirror.

I came to Aunt Wen to get busy and stepped forward to ask for help.

No need. Eleven Niang shook her head gently and told Aunt Wen exactly what Mrs. Zhuo wanted to do.

Aunt Wen's eyes lit up when she heard this: "The eldest lady?"

What the Marquis meant was to see Eleven Niang Dao again, who had just been discharged. He also told Aunt Wen about Mrs. Zhou's matchmaking for his nephew and Mrs. Li's proposal for her second son. Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Hou also asked me to do more.

I walked around and looked around. This time I went to Chen Ge's hometown because I also wanted to meet the eldest daughter-in-law of Liang Ge's hometown. I should also go to Chen's house for a wedding banquet. She whispered her plans.

Aunt Wen relaxed after hearing this. When she saw Eleven Niang wearing thin red gold and white stone magnolia earrings, she got up to get some clothes and hurried over to help Eleven Niang get dressed.

Eleven Niang declined politely.

The two of them were polite for a while, and Aunt Wen saw that Eleven Niang was very determined, so she let go and stood aside to watch, but hesitated several times.

After all, it is about Sister Zhen's future, and Aunt Wen is not the kind of person who has no independent opinions. She will definitely have her own ideas.

Eleven Niang simply asked her: What does Aunt Wen have to say?

When Aunt Wen saw that Eleven Niang acted honestly, she thought about it and said: I think the Zhuo family is pretty good.

Eleven Niang was a little surprised.

Aunt Wen hurriedly said: It sounds like the Wang family is the best. But the Wang family has Mrs. Zhou's family at the top, and the family from Fujian who is the chief envoy. They are also a large family and cannot be separated easily. Mr. Wang doesn't know when he will be able to make his mark.

.After all, you have to live by the looks of others. Although the Zhuo family is a little thin, Master Zhuo was born in the army and served as a general soldier for these years, so his family must be very rich. In addition, he is an old subordinate of the Marquis.

Mr. Yi Zhuo must be richer than Mr. Wang's family, and he will think highly of Sister Zhen because of Xu Lingyi.

And although Mrs. Zhuo is young, Master Zhuo is already declining. If the time comes, Mrs. Zhuo will have to think more about the future of her two sons. Otherwise, how could she be so conceited?
