Eleven Niang touched Er's smooth hair, gently put down the picture album in her hand, tucked him in, and winked at Ah Jin, telling her to take good care of Brother Jin.

I walked out of Nuange quietly. Niu Wen~Watch online

A north wind blew outside, blowing loudly and making the windows snap.

Eleven Niang went to bed.

It was warm under the quilt.

She looked at the sachet on the top of the tent and suddenly remembered that when she first got married, she seemed to be getting further and further away.

I turned over and heard light footsteps outside.

Why haven't you slept yet? Xu Lingyi sat on the edge of the bed with a chill all over. He wanted to take care of himself in the winter. The weather has changed today, so it would be better to go to bed early.

Eleven Niang raised her head and carefully looked at the person in front of her.

His eyes were still so bright, and his voice was still so low-pitched, but there was no longer the frown between his brows when they first met, but the gentleness that made her familiar.

It seems that everyone has changed.

What's wrong? Xu Lingyi asked her with a smile.

It's okay. Eleven Niang pursed her lips and smiled, then sat up. What does Aunt Wen want from you?

Xu Lingyi got up and went to change clothes: Something happened to the Wen family, and she came to me to discuss what to do. Her tone seemed a bit understated.

Didn't he ignore the Wen family's affairs a long time ago? Why did he stay at Aunt Wen's place to discuss it with her?

Eleven Niang couldn’t help but ask: What happened to the Wen family?

After all, it involves the emperor's stay at his residence.

I once helped the Wen family a little, and in order to thank me, the Wen family sent money. Xu Lingyi thought about it, and then told Eleven Niang what happened. I didn't ask for it, but the Wen family refused to take it back.

, was put into the hands of the Wen family. A few years ago, the Wen family wanted to do business with the Ministry of Internal Affairs through the Yang family. They spent a lot of money, but the effect was not great. Later, something happened to the Yang family and they used a lot of money to manage it.

The Wen family's business is not one person's business. In the past few years, the Wen family's third master has been in charge, and the business has not been going well. The business of Jiangnan Weaving has also been lost, and the momentum is not as good as before.

The elders in the family were quite dissatisfied, and some even suggested that Wen's brother should take care of the family business. In desperation, Wen Sanye started maritime trade. He made some money and barely saved the situation. As a result, after something happened to the Wang family, it turned out that

Some people who followed Wang Jiubao started to do maritime business again. The Wen family was robbed twice in a row and lost a lot of money. Their vitality was severely damaged. Wen's brother sent someone to see Wen and said that he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.

This is an opportunity to get the support of the elders in the family to take charge of family affairs. In this way, everyone's life will be easier.

Eleven Niang thought that the Wen family had sent someone to bring some silks and satins to the Wen family a few days ago. Aunt Wen also brought some tribute horses to her. It turned out that the Wen family had this meaning in it.

At that time, Wen's brother was too cautious. After Wen's father passed away, the elders of the family chose Wen Sanye to manage the business. Now Wen's brother takes advantage of Wen Sanye's weakness and wants to regain control of the family.

Wen was not sure about the rights to the business, so she came to talk to me about it. Xu Lingyi said, I think the money originally belonged to the Wen family. Since Wen wanted to give it back to the Wen family to help her brother, then she should return it to the Wen family.

The Wen family is well. This can be regarded as an explanation of what happened back then.

In this way, wouldn’t the relationship between the two families become even more distant?

Eleven Niang was very surprised and couldn't help but said: What did Aunt Wen say?

After saying some words of gratitude, Xu Lingyi said and then agreed for a day to let people from the Wen family come and get the money. With this money, Aunt Wen's brother will definitely win the support of the elders of the clan.

No wonder I had to talk to Xu Ling'an in private.

Aunt Wen is interfering in and affecting the internal affairs of the Wen family.

But on the day when the Wen family came, Aunt Wen's behavior was beyond the expectations of Eleven Niang and Xu Lingyi.

Xu Lingyi asked Eleven Niang to ask Aunt Wen if she wanted to meet her brother. But Aunt Wen shook her head gently: Mr. Yu, Mr. Wen is the guest of the Marquis, and I am the female family member of the inner courtyard;

, Lord Wen is my brother, and I am the concubine of Lord Marquis. Neither the public servant nor the private slaves are qualified to see Lord Wen. Since he is missing, it’s okay. There was a bit of sarcasm in her tone.

Indeed, in the public sphere, the female family members of the inner court who are not intimate with each other cannot meet the male guests; in the private sphere, the brothers and sisters in the concubine's house are not considered relatives. In both the public and private spheres, she is indeed not qualified to see visitors from the Wen family.

Is this a protest against Jiawen's family for sending her to Beijing?

It's just that the protest came a little late. This change seems to have happened after Aunt Qin died. She knew the origin of the huge sum of money in her hand.

Eleven Niang remained silent.

However, the Wen family seemed to have misunderstood Aunt Wen's actions. They sent their eloquent mother to ask for a meeting with Eleven Niang, hoping to see Aunt Wen.

Eleven Niang did not stop anyone, but Aunt Wen gave the visitor a shut-in.

Donghong looked at it and couldn't help but worry: My aunt, Mr. Hou, has taken over our shop, and you don't have any money. We can only get in and out, and we will soon be left with nothing.

Aunt Wen scolded her: It's nonsense to say that a rotten ship has three pounds of nails. I will never deprive you of food and clothing, let alone your dowry.

Donghong's face turned red all of a sudden.

Qiu Hong told her something, she was going to get married in the Chinese New Year.

The little maid Xia Hong covered her mouth and smiled.

Qiu Hong slapped her in feint of anger: She didn't even go to help her to separate the threads, so she just stuck them here stupidly.

Xia Hong ducked away with a smile. She simply said, "Auntie, I'm going to do some embroidery." Then she ran away.

Aunt Wen laughed.

Dong Hong flattered her and said: Auntie's loquat embroidery is really good. Auntie Wen looked at the handkerchief that had been embroidered for almost half a year and couldn't help but frowned: I see the lady is very relaxed, why did she get it into my hand like this?

Is it difficult? Then he muttered, now the eldest lady is married, the business is gone, and the money has been returned to the Wen family. I no longer have worries, I am innocent again, and I can live a life of embroidery and raising birds.

As she talked about having a leisurely life, her eyes couldn't help but fall on the sachet hanging on the corner of the bed.

Hidden there was the 30,000 taels of silver that her mother had given her when she went north.

In these years, she has been living in the Xu Mansion for food and clothing, and she earns a lot of money. She should have thirty-three thousand taels of silver.

In a few days, we have to find a way to cash out the interest. Otherwise, if time goes by, the bank will treat it as a dead debt and it will be troublesome. When the time comes, it will have to go to the government to write a letter of guarantee, which will expose Xu Lingyi's character.

They will definitely suspect that she secretly kept 30,000 taels of silver.

She didn't want her mother to care about being misunderstood like this.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but have a headache.

After thinking about it, Aunt Wen sent Xia Hong to find out when Xu Siqin would give her son a full-moon ceremony: At that time, the whole family would go to Sanjing Hutong to have a wedding banquet. At that time, they only said that they would go to hell if the money was gone.

Aunt Wen was thinking in her mind.

Eleven Niang looked at the steward mother who was standing in front of her with some surprise.

In this way, starting from next month, we no longer need to send money for sesame oil to Dajue Temple.

The mother in charge nodded with some fear, and secretly looked at Eleven Niang's expression from the corner of her eyes: "Speaking of Master Jingkong, Aunt Yang has officially become a closed disciple under the master of Dajue Temple. From now on, she will be a member of Dajue Temple."

No more support for our family

As expected, Yang can survive tenaciously no matter what the circumstances.

Eleven Niang nodded, asked Zhu Xiang to take a pair of cards to the old woman, and went to the room to collect Yang's sesame oil money. She then told Xu Lingyi about the incident.

Xu Lingyi just nodded and talked about the full moon ceremony over at Sanjing Hutong: There will be many people talking, not like at home, so don't let brother Jin leave your eyes. It's always good to be careful in everything.

This is Brother Jin’s first time going out for a wedding banquet.

Mr. Hou was assured that Eleven Niang smiled and said that I will take good care of Brother Jin.

On the day when she went to Sanjing Hutong to have a wedding banquet, Eleven Niang never forgot that her brother Jin had left her sight. Instead, it was Xu Sizhen and Xu Sijie.

He ran to the inner courtyard and ran around in the flower hall where he was playing cards.

He also noticed that the mothers and wives around him were following him all the time, which made Eleven Niang feel relieved a lot.

When I arrived, I led the people from the German music class to sing in the hall.

Xu Sizhen took Xu Sijie to the theater and said, "We will go backstage later. There are also swords and spears there."

Xu Sijie looked at Xu Sizhen with admiration: How did the fourth brother know that there were swords and spears in the background?

Xu Sizhen explained to Xu Sijie very carefully: Han Jian told me last time I followed my father to Dou Ge's hometown for a wedding banquet. He said that when their family sang in the hall, he often ran to the backstage to play. He could also play.

broadsword

Who is Han Jian? Xu Sijie asked curiously.

His father was a minister of the Ministry of Industry. As they talked, the two went to the main courtyard of the singing hall and had a good time with Dou Jing. Wang Yun also knew him. When he said this, he said, "Wang Yun"

do you remember

Xu Sijie nodded: Wang Li is the son of Lord Wang.

The fifth brother has a good memory, Xu Diaozhen said with a smile, could it be that my husband taught me how to play the flute?

Xu Sijie lowered his head in embarrassment.

The unique sonorous sound of Geyang accent reached my ears louder and louder.

The two little guys became very excited. They leaned against the beauty in front of the east wing and listened to the play with great interest.

Mrs. Fang took Eleven Niang to her warm pavilion and said, "Fourth Aunt, please stay here and rest for a while."

The house in Mitsui Hutong was too small, so a stage was set up in front of the main courtyard to sing, and the gongs and drums could be heard throughout the house. Brother Jin was used to taking naps, and he was very irritable when he heard them. He didn't take a good nap, and it was a bit noisy in the afternoon.

Mrs. Fang found a relatively quiet place for Eleven Niang.
