Chapter 319 Xi Xizhong

I have to say that what Aunt Wen said makes sense.

Eleven Niang mainly thought of the young master Wang's maid who was three years older. Of course, she hoped that Sister Zhen's marriage would be as simple as possible.

But the Marquis felt that the eldest son of the Zhuo family was not very smart, she mused, and he was not worthy of our sister Zhen.

Seeing that Eleven Niang was willing to listen to her opinions seriously, Aunt Wen perked up and said hurriedly: "People are honest and kind. Speaking of which, our eldest lady is also an honest person. If she finds someone who is domineering, I'm afraid she will only be wronged. And

He said, the young master of the Wang family is an only son, unless the eldest lady gives birth to two sons when she comes, otherwise, I am afraid that by the end of the sentence, she will be full of worry.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but stroke her forehead.

For a moment, you could hear a needle drop in the room.

When Aunt Wen saw it, she said hurriedly: "Oh, the Marquis is a master of martial arts and his wife is well-informed. I am just worrying blindly." Then she stood up. It was already getting late. Do you want to pass on the meal? It's early.

Go and say hello to Madam at one o'clock

Just as he was talking, a little maid reported through the curtain: The eldest lady is here.

You don’t have to choose from these two.

Eleven Niang smiled and asked the little maid to invite Sister Zhen in.

Sister Zhen came in and saw that there were only Eleven Niang and Aunt Wen in the room, and the atmosphere was a little deserted, so she couldn't help but be slightly startled.

Don't say that this matter has not been settled. Even if it is settled, it is not easy to tell Sister Zhen in front of a third person.

The two of them unanimously chose to remain silent on this matter. One of them smiled and called her eldest lady, and the other went to sit on the kang by the window.

A trace of confusion flashed in Sister Zhen's eyes, she bowed to Eleven Niang, and asked Aunt Wen how she was doing. Xu Siyu and Xu Sijie came over.

After Qiao Lianfang came over to say hello, Eleventh Mother sent her two aunts, left the children to have breakfast, and mentioned to Xu Siyu that he was going to Le'an: It's not good if there are too many people to serve. If you think it's useful,

If it works, just talk to Mr. Bai and let him make arrangements for you.

Xu Siyu had no objection to this, bowed to Eleven Niang, and then retreated.

Eleven Niang carried Xu Sijie to the east room of the waterside pavilion where the weather was getting hotter and cooler. She set up Sister Zhen's embroidery room there.

Sister Zhen always works hard. Although her stitching is a bit rusty, she is very conscientious and embroiders strictly according to Eleven Niang's requirements.

Eleven Niang thought that she would go to Chen's house for a wedding banquet today, so she couldn't help but be silent for a moment.

Women's clothing is not only embroidery, but also tailoring and sewing.

Sister Zhen couldn't help but worry a little when she saw it: Mother, did I embroider something wrong?

No. Eleven Niang smiled and said, it's good. Then she saw Sister Zhen's eyes were confused and said, I was thinking that if you continue at your pace, you can start learning to sew clothes tomorrow.

Sister Zhen was very happy to hear this, and she pursed her lips and smiled.

Xu Sijie also laughed when he saw it.

Eleven Niang handed Xu Sijie to Nanyong's wife, pointed out a few things Sister Zhen needed to pay attention to, and then went to the Taifu's place.

On the way, she told Zhuxiang: Go to Binju's place and tell her that I have something to ask her and ask her to come tomorrow.

Zhuxiang left in response.

When we arrived at Mrs. Shi's place, Mrs. Shi was frowning and asking Ma Shi something.

Mother Du said hurriedly and quietly: Sister Xin is sick again

Eleven Niang couldn't help but feel worried after hearing this.

Sister Xin has been raised so hard that she can no longer withstand the wind and rain. Unfortunately, the level of medical care in this era is very low. A simple cold can kill a person.

She was about to ask about the situation when she saw Mrs. Tai stood up: I went to take a look and looked up and saw Eleven Niang.

The eleventh mother didn't wait for the madam to speak, and immediately said: Mother, I will also go and have a look.

The madam nodded, and the group went to the fifth madam.

He said that he took me out for a walk yesterday afternoon and started coughing in the evening.

The child was wrapped in a bright red red phoenix and chaoyang brocade quilt, his face flushed, and he hummed from time to time.

The fans in the room were closed tightly, and the air was filled with the depressingly fragrant fragrance of flowers.

The fifth lady's face was full of tears, and she took the hand of the madam: Mom, please send me an experienced mother.

Mother Shi stood aside and lowered her eyelids.

The wife did not agree, but asked about the child's illness: What did the doctor say?

The fifth lady hurriedly said: It is said that the cold and heat are uneven. She prescribed Xiaobuihu Decoction.

Show me the recipe

Mother Shi hurriedly went to get the prescription.

Eleven Niang read to Mrs. Tai: nine points of Bupleurum, nine points of Scutellaria baicalensis, nine points of Pinellia pinellia, nine points of ginger, three points of ginseng, six points of moxibustion licorice and one jujube.

Which imperial physician prescribed the prescription? Did he use too much?

It was prescribed by Dr. Wu. Mother Shi said, "Take three doses first, and then reduce it by half."

The wife took the prescription and considered it for a long time, then the second lady came.

She said something was wrong with Sister Xin. What's wrong? There was some anxiety on her eyebrows.

The second sister-in-law and the fifth wife grabbed the second wife's hand and said it was unevenly cool and hot. When talking about the child's illness, the wife showed her the prescription again. Can you see if it is appropriate?

Distracted the matter from Pai Ma.

Everyone started talking about Sister Xin.

A little maid poked her head at the door of the house.

The second lady knew her from the waiter in the flower hall and said, "Mom and I are here. The fourth brother and sister can go and do your work."

Eleven Niang is not polite.

It is now the end of the month, and the inner courtyard has to reconcile the accounts with the outer courtyard. The mothers in charge are waiting for the eleventh mother to deposit the account book and send it to the accounting room of the outer courtyard for entry.

She said hello to the second wife, the second wife and the fifth wife, and went to the flower hall.

The mothers in charge were standing under the eaves waiting. When they saw Eleven Niang coming in, the yard immediately became silent.

Eleven Niang looked at the foot-high account book, thought for a while, and said: Today I am going to Chen Ge’s hometown for a wedding banquet. Let’s discuss it tomorrow morning.

The mother in charge bowed her head and respectfully responded.

Eleven Niang told Hu Hui to take him back to Fishing Waterside Pavilion.

Amber looked at the sun outside and said: It's getting late. Although it's okay to arrive before the main banquet, it's too late and a bit rude.

I know Eleven Niang said with a smile, just follow my instructions. Then she told Yan Rong to invite Aunt Wen to Shuixie.

Yan Rong responded and left.

Amber looked at Eleven Niang with confusion, and followed her back to Shuixie with the account in hand.

When they arrived in front, Aunt Wen rushed in behind.

Madam, what do you want from me?

Eleven Niang invited her to sit on the embroidered pillar in front of the kang, and pointed to the account book on the kang table: I am going to the Chen family to have a wedding banquet. You and Hu Bo will match this account.

Everyone in the room was stunned.

There is a thin layer of sweat on Aunt Wen's forehead.

If I didn't want to touch Lan Ting, I would have asked the stewards at Chen Ge's side to go there. Eleven Niang said, seeing that it was too late, she had to ask Aunt Wen to take more trouble.

After hearing this, Aunt Wen gritted her teeth and responded: Madam, feel free to go, I will help Miss Hu Hu get this account right.

Eleven Niang nodded, had some snacks, and went to Chen Ge's hometown.

Living in Yanjing is not easy.

Mr. Chen Ge lived in Shuihuulu Hutong in the west of the city. The alley was so narrow that the carriage suddenly stopped on the street. Although the carriage drivers gave way in the name of Yongping Marquis Mansion, it took more than half an hour to enter the gate of Mr. Chen Ge's courtyard.

.

Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Li and others were all there. Everyone came up to say hello to Eleven Niang. But most of the women were strangers. Mrs. Zhou said in a low voice: They are all the female relatives of the officials of the Sixth Ministry, and I am not very familiar with them either.

Eleven Niang nodded and saw Mrs. Gan's sister-in-law, the wife of the general ambassador.

She smiled and stepped forward to say hello.

Mrs. Gan's sister-in-law introduced several wives of ministers and bachelors to Eleven Niang.

Most of them are older than her, but their husbands are of lower rank than Xu Lingyi.

Everyone smiled and nodded at her reservedly.

Eleven Niang responded respectfully, then smiled and chatted with Mrs. Gan's sister-in-law: Why didn't you see Lan Ting?

It was said that Mrs. Liang was slightly ill. Mrs. Gan’s sister-in-law said with a smile that her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not here yet.

Eleven Niang was a little disappointed and did not hide it: she was also planning to meet Lan Ting.
