Chapter 323: Hustle and bustle

Eleven Niang was startled when she heard this.

She didn't expect that the madam would tease her like this.

Then my heart felt warm.

Eleven Niang pushed the madam in amusement: Mom, I’m talking to you about business.

The madam laughed, took her hand and asked her to sit next to her: Say it, say it, I'm listening.

Eleven Niang smiled and told Mrs. Tai what she had said to Mrs. Zhou.

The madam laughed and said: It's just that our family's financial resources are too thin.

Eleven Niang answered implicitly: Qi Dafei. I think the sixteenth son of the Wang family is quite a good person.

Also, Mrs. Tai thought about the current situation of the Luo family and said with a smile, some people are afraid that they will not be able to survive.

Eleven Niang discussed with Mrs. Tai: Then I will go back to Gongxian Hutong tomorrow.

Yes, Madam squinted her eyes and smiled.

Eleven Niang saw Mrs. Du standing aside with a smile on her face, as if waiting for something. She knew that she might have something to say to the Madam alone, so she chatted with the Madam for a few words and then left.

Back in the house, Bin Ju had already gone back, Sister Zhen was leaning on the big kang near the window in the inner room reading a book, while Aunt Wen and Hu Hue Xiulan were settling accounts in the east room.

Seeing Eleven Niang coming back, Sister Zhen immediately came to greet her. Aunt Wen stood up and sat down again.

Naturally, there are certain things that you cannot ask in front of Sister Zhen.

She nodded towards Aunt Wen and entered the inner room with Sister Zhen.

Sister Zhen helps Eleven Niang fetch water: Why did my mother suddenly think of going to Ciyuan Temple?

Fortunately, there is such a thing as twelve mothers.

Eleven Niang said with a smile: I won’t tell you now. I will tell you when I get the confirmation in a few days. Then I asked her about her embroidery, if there is anything she doesn’t understand.

Sister Binju is very good at needlework. Sister Zhen smiled and said, if I did anything wrong, she told me carefully.

It would be great if I could get Sister Zhen's recognition.

Eleven Niang changed her clothes, and a boy from the outer courtyard came in and said: Madam, Mr. Bai wants to see you.

Manager Bai was ordered to inquire about the second young master of the Li family.

She let Sister Zhen read in the room and went to the waterside pavilion by herself.

The second young master of the Li family is not only handsome, but he is very smart at a young age. All the young masters in Yanjing City who have some wealth are friends with him. They like to find him as a go-between when they have any injustice.

The tone was very high. Mrs. Li liked this second son very much. Although the eldest son and the second son both had courtyards in Guishu Hutong, the decoration of the second son's house was much more exquisite and gorgeous than that of the eldest son. For this matter, Li

The father-in-law and the son were quite critical. When Mrs. Li found out, she gave her eldest son a lesson. She said, if you want to socialize with those rich men like your brother, I will also decorate it for you according to your brother's yard.

The eldest son was speechless. He added that although Mrs. Li doted on her son, she was very strict in her discipline. The servants around her were all women and young men, and there were no maids. The second son had never disobeyed his mother for these things.

Teaching.

This is another rather surprising situation.

Only those who have already determined their goals in life can resist temptation

I'm afraid this Mr. Li is not a simple person.

From the perspective of others, she admires such people. But from the perspective of a mother, she feels that marrying such a person may not necessarily mean happiness. They usually pursue pursuits and have no time to care about the people around them.

While serving Mrs. Tai in the evening, Eleven Niang told Mrs. Tai what Manager Bai said. Mrs. Tai was very interested and said: The second son of the Li family is only fifteen or sixteen years old this year.

fifteen years old

The madam smiled and said: At the age of forty-five, she also knows what to do and what not to do, with some appreciation in her tone.

It’s hard to rate Eleven Niang.

Many years later, people will judge a person's quality based on his status in society. What's more, now

She later talked to Aunt Wen, who said: A wife is more valuable than her husband. If the second young master of the Li family really has such magnanimity, he can be careless about the rest.

Whether it succeeds or fails, Xu Lingyi has the most say.

Eleven Niang smiled and asked Aunt Wen about her accounts.

More than half of the accounts for the second year of Yonghe have been settled, and they will be completed tomorrow. She said, hesitated for a moment, and said, if Madam does not object, I want Xiulan to go to my place to practice abacus for an hour every night.

Eleven Niang nodded with a smile and served tea.

Aunt Wen bent her knees and bowed before retreating.

Eleven Niang was lying on the bed thinking about Sister Zhen's son's marriage.

I feel that this one is not satisfactory, and that one is not good. I am also afraid that the reputation will make people shy away from choosing, and I am also afraid that if I lose the watermelon, I will have to pick sesame seeds for a long time before falling asleep. I will give it to you early the next morning.

After Madam Tai paid her respects and arranged her household affairs, she brought some gifts back to Gongxian Hutong.

Luo Da Nai looked at her and was shocked. She quickly took her hand and went into the house: Why did you come back suddenly? What happened? She looked very anxious.

It's okay, it's okay. Eleven Niang said hurriedly, I haven't been back for a long time, haven't I? Taking advantage of my free time before the Dragon Boat Festival, I came to see my fourth sister-in-law and my aunt. I still have something to discuss with my eldest sister-in-law.

Luo Da Nai sent the waiter in the room and whispered: What's the matter?

Eleven Niang told Da Nai Luo about Wang Ze.

Luo Da Nai's face was filled with joy after hearing this: She was born in a high family and has a great reputation. If she can succeed, it will be a good thing. Then she got up and said, "I'll go tell my mother right now."

Eleven Niang smiled and went to the eldest lady's place with Luo Da Nai.

The sixth aunt was serving the eldest lady to drink water. When she saw the eleventh aunt, she was also very surprised.

After Eleven Niang saluted his wife, Luo Da Nai smiled and told Eleven Niang's purpose of coming.

Sixth Yiniang smiled at that moment, but the eldest lady closed her eyes for a long time and did not speak.

There was silence in the room.

Sixth Yiniang winked at Eleventh Niang anxiously.

Seeing that looking at each other like this was not an option, Eleven Niang stood up with a smile: Fourth sister-in-law is pregnant, I haven't gone to congratulate her yet.

Seeing this, Da Nai Luo also smiled and stood up: "The fourth brother and sister are not feeling well these days. I will accompany Aunt Eleven to have a look."

This is a good thing. Nai Luo led Eleven Niang to the fourth grandma and said in a low voice, I am here to persuade Niang. You can also go and have a look at the Wang family.

Eleven Niang responded in a low voice, and went to Fourth Grandma's place with Grandma Luo.

When the fourth grandma saw them coming in, she hurriedly sat up.

Fourth sister-in-law, please leave us alone. Seeing that she was about to get out of bed, Eleventh Mother stepped forward and took her hand. She came to see fourth sister-in-law. If she cannot have a good rest because of this, it is my fault. As she said this,

I looked at her. I saw that she looked very good and didn't seem pregnant at all. I was curious and relieved at the same time.

The fourth grandma was a little embarrassed after hearing this and said: Thanks to the doctor Kong who was introduced by Aunt Eleven, I was going to thank him, but your fourth brother said it was not good for me to come to the door like this. So he asked the sister-in-law to say it. He said again, I'm fine.

Very good, but your fourth brother insisted that I lie down. I was also afraid of what might happen, which made Aunt Eleven laugh. Just as she was talking, a little maid ran in with a blue and white porcelain plate. Seeing Luo Da

Nai and Eleven Niang sat aside, timidly trying to retreat.

When Luo Da Nai saw that the little maid couldn't get on the stage, she was unhappy and said: "Why are you so flustered?"

The little maid didn't dare to retreat any further and timidly held the plate in her hands: Fourth Master asked Fourth Grandma to bring sour plums.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

The fourth grandma’s face was flushed: Just put it down, why are you so talkative?

It made Da Nai Luo laugh.

The little maid put down the plate in a panic and retreated.

Luo Zhensheng's maid Yiliu smiled and held up a plate to treat Luo Da Nai and Eleven Niang to eat plums.

Eleven Niang saw Yiliu combing her hair into a round bun and wearing a small gilt Ruyi hairpin.

The fourth younger brother and sister made the decision and took Yiliu into her room. Grandma Luo saw her looking at Yiliu and explained with a smile.

Eleven Niang thought of Dijin. She sighed in her heart, and quickly gathered her thoughts. She took out her purse and took out four eight-cent silver coins and gave them to Yiliu: I didn’t know this before. I’ll buy you flowers with this.

Wear.

Yiliu turned away with a blushing face, bent her knees to thank Eleven Niang, and served tea at the side.

Eleven Niang sat at Fourth Grandma's place for a while and then went to Fifth Yiniang's place.

Wu Yiniang was sitting on the kang next to her, making small clothes. Her eyes and brows were filled with a soft smile, as quiet as a painting.

Eleven Niang paused for a moment before calling her aunt.

A smile as bright as a summer flower bloomed on the face of the eleventh aunt and the fifth aunt. She hurriedly put on her shoes and quickly came to sit on the kang. Then she turned around to pack up her needlework. She looked a little flustered and a little clumsy, but it made the eleventh aunt feel soft.

.

She stepped forward and took Wu Yiniang's hand: "Don't be busy. I'll come and see if you are okay."

I was so happy that Wu Yiniang smiled and asked her to sit on the kang. I also called to Nai Luo, please sit down too. I also ordered the little maid to pour tea for the two of them.
