Eleven Niang thought for a while and said with a smile: Since you are here to accompany me, you can live in the west wing of the backyard.

Generally, families with daughters will arrange for their daughters to live in the west wing of the backyard.

Amber smiled and said, discussing with her how to decorate the house, how many wives and maids should be prepared, etc., and the topic was diverted.

In the evening, I went to say hello to Madam Tai. Eleven Niang asked Brother Shen if Jiayuguan was fun.

It’s fun, it’s fun. Brother Shen nodded repeatedly.

It has been two days since he came back, and the excitement of the journey has not faded. Anyone who mentions Jiayuguan to him will talk endlessly about what he saw and heard in Jiayuguan.

Their city wall was so high. He opened his arms and ran from one end of the house to the other. The plaque was so long, and he ran from one end to another. I couldn't even see the turret when I raised my head. There was wind and sand everywhere and I had to use a handkerchief.

I put my face around, the mutton meat was delicious, and I saw a man with yellow hair and green eyes sitting on the ostrich, and everyone laughed and listened to him.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Lingkuan smiled and tugged on his collar: Okay, okay, go and have a rest and we'll talk tomorrow.

Brother Shen bowed to Mrs. Tai in a nonchalant manner.

Eleven Niang went out with them and asked Brother Shen with a smile: It is so fun outside the pass, why don't you go with Brother Jin? With your fourth uncle here, are you still afraid of being kidnapped?

It was my father who refused to let me go. Brother Shen felt aggrieved and pouted, saying that they had gone too far and forcefully pulled me back.

Eleven Niang smiled and looked at Xu Lingkuan.

Xu Lingkuan's face turned red: Fourth sister-in-law, yes, it was fourth brother who didn't let me say anything. I was afraid that you would be worried. It's okay. It's okay. Fourth brother just took brother Jin to the place where he was stationed. The commander-in-chief of Jiayuguan will accompany him personally. Everything will be fine.

of.

She knew why Xu Lingyi spent the New Year in Xuantong Mansion because of Fan Weigang's insistence.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but worry.

In winter, when the grasslands have less food and clothing, they like to attack the border guards in winter. Will they encounter any danger when they leave the border? Moreover, Xu Lingyi's expedition to the northwest was a hero to the Zhou Dynasty, and to those in the northwest, he was a hero.

He is a sworn enemy.

You don't try to persuade your fourth brother. This is no joke. She couldn't help but darken her face. What if there is something wrong with her?

Xu Lingkuan murmured and couldn't say a word.

The fifth lady who listened clearly on the side couldn't help but become anxious and blamed Xu Lingkuan: Why are you so confused? Fourth brother doesn't listen to you, don't you know how to write a letter and come back to tell your mother? You ran back without saying a word and didn't say anything.

Help fourth brother hide it from his family. You, how do you want me to say hello?

Eleven Niang is the sister-in-law, so she can just say a few words to him. But this is his own wife. Xu Lingkuan couldn't help but argue: The matter is at this point, if I don't help Fourth Brother hide it, why should I tell my mother? If my mother has a

Even if I die, I can't escape the blame.

The fifth wife ignored him and discussed directly with the eleventh mother: Fourth sister-in-law, what the fifth master said makes sense. Now that the matter has come to this point, I don’t think my mother can know about this matter at all.

If she didn't want to hide it from the madam, why would she ask Brother Jin after leaving the house?

I thought so too. Eleven Niang sighed and asked Xu Lingkuan if the Marquis had told him when he would come back and where he planned to go.

Xu Lingkuan chuckled: I'm afraid we won't set off until spring next year. As for where we are going, my fourth brother didn't tell me.

Eleven Niang thought for a moment and said: I want to write a letter to your fourth brother, how can he receive it.

Send it to Jiayuguan. Xu Lingkuan smiled and said that the commander-in-chief of Jiayuguan turned out to be the fourth brother's general. Then he comforted her and said, "fourth sister-in-law, don't worry. The commander-in-chief of Jiayuguan knew that Brother Jin was the youngest son of the fourth brother, so he sent the fourth brother's son

I don’t dare to let anyone hurt Brother Jin if I lose it.

How is this comforting?

The fifth lady hurriedly separated Xu Lingkuan: Fifth Master, the fourth sister-in-law is worried when she knows that the fourth brother has gone outside the pass. It is only right that you ask the fourth sister-in-law to write a letter first, and then send someone to rush to Jiayuguan. It is getting late, let’s continue.

, it was almost dawn, and I was delayed for another day. It will be the New Year in a few days, and I don’t think I can find the person who sent the message even if I have money by then.

Yes, yes. After hearing this, Xu Lingkuan hurriedly said to Fourth Sister-in-law, please write a letter quickly. Maybe Fourth Brother has received your letter and changed his mind.

Even if I change my mind, I can't come back in time to celebrate the New Year.

Eleven Niang sighed secretly in her heart. She agreed with Xu Lingkuan to pick up the letter tomorrow morning and hurried back to the house.

Xu Lingkuan looked at her retreating back and couldn't help but said: How did the fourth sister-in-law know that the fourth brother was not at Fan Weigang's place?

Eleven Niang almost didn't sleep all night. Early the next morning, she asked Amber to send the letter to the fifth lady.

Xu Sijie came over to say hello and saw that she was not in good spirits. He asked someone to bring a cup of hot goat milk in: "Mother should drink less hot tea." He then said, "It is the same as usual every year during the New Year. The youngest person in charge of the mother has ten years of experience."

Now, I know what to do even with my eyes closed. Let’s take a break after mother drinks the hot sheep nǎi. We have paid homage to our ancestors during the New Year, and we have to go to the palace to pay our respects early in the morning. If you don’t take good care of yourself these days, you’re here.

What should I do if I have to ask her to take a break? I will come to see you after school.

Eleven Niang couldn't bear to brush off his kindness, so she asked the little maid to take a quilt and spread it in the big hole near the window, and then she lay down on the big kang. Xu Sijie watched her drink the nǎi before going to school.

The fifth young master is really filial. Amber smiled and said, I only hope that your wishes will come true.

Is it referring to Ying Niang’s matter?

Eleven Niang just laughed.

A little maid came in: Madam, the third young lady of the Liang family is here.

Lanting

The eleventh mother hurriedly sat up and said, please come in quickly. The little maid responded and led Lan Ting in, who was wearing a big coat.

It was broad daylight. Why was she lying down when she saw there was a quilt on the kang? She was slightly startled, "What's wrong with you? It's okay." The eleventh mother asked her to sit on the Taishi chair. She didn't sleep well yesterday, so she was going to lie down for a while.

Lan Ting breathed a long sigh of relief and took the tea from the little maid.

Mrs. Liang caught wind and cold last winter, and has not recovered to this day. Lanting is in charge of the Liang family's middle school.

The Chinese New Year is about to come, why do you have time to come to my place, Eleven Niang asked curiously.

The two of them had known each other before they left the cabinet, and they were both straightforward people, so they didn't have to be polite.

Don’t you have a house in Jinyu Lane? I want to rent your house. How much does it cost? Eleven Niang was shocked: What are you doing renting a house for? It’s not easy to live in Yanjing. But it doesn’t matter whether it’s the Liang family or the Gan family.

A small house can still be made available.

It’s my third sister. Lan Ting regards Eleven Niang as her best friend, and she never glosses over the embarrassing things in her family. She wants to take her son Wen Geer back to Yanjing after the Chinese New Year. What happened, Eleven

Mother couldn't help but hold Lan Ting's hand tightly.

Lan Ting smiled bitterly: My third sister didn’t want to see the dirty things going on at home. When the child was three years old, she took advantage of her poor health and wanted to rest, so she moved back to the farm. In the first two years, the Jiang family paid for the food and clothing and sent them there on time.

The third sister was enjoying herself planting flowers and grass in the yard and teaching her children to read and write. But since the old man of the Jiang family left three years ago, the money of the Jiang family has been delayed again and again. By the year before last, they said they could not afford it.

, let the third sister and the child move back to the old house. The third sister thought that the child was old and needed to study and enlightenment, so she could not live with her in the farm. So she went back. At this point, Lan Ting paused. Who knows?

My brother-in-law actually took in a brothel girl in the house. The third sister was afraid that Brother Wen would follow suit and sell the girl. My brother-in-law simply kept the girl outside. My sister saw that the house was already in a mess, and she suddenly

Cruelly, in front of the Jiang family, he said that he would take Brother Wen back to Yanjing to be married, but in fact he planned to live in Yanjing for a long time and then find a better husband for Brother Wen, and wait until Brother Wen has some progress in his career.

Mei Mian, again thinking about whether to go back to Jian'an. He also said that you also know where I am, it is really inconvenient. Not to mention my mother's family, I have no choice but to come to beg you. After the defeat of Jianning Marquis Yang's family, the three Liang family

The young nǎǎi of the Yang family died in depression within two years. As soon as the filial piety period was over, the third young master of the Liang family remarried. Not to mention the new third nǎǎi looked good, and was seven or eight years younger than the third master Liang. From then on, the third master Liang

Suffering from a henpecked máo disease, she also raised these three nǎǎi's tempers to be very strong. She stared at Lanting with her eyes, hoping that something was wrong with her. If Cao E lived in the Liang family's house, even if it was rented, I'm afraid she would

It would be said that she was taking advantage. As for Mrs. Gan, when Cao E was not married, she was eager to get married quickly. Now that she is married, she will not keep her.

This house is renovated every two years. Every time it is renovated, it is decorated. Once it is decorated, things are replaced. The calligraphy and painting utensils, tables, chairs, beds and stools are everywhere

There are not many places that can be used for you. Eleven Niang Shen said, I also have a small house in Si'er Hutong. Although it only has two rooms and three rooms, it is small and exquisite, and it is quiet in the bustle. If you want to rent a house

, why not rent the one I had in Si'er Hutong? I had long heard that the business of Shiyi Niangxipu was good, but I didn't expect that she actually bought a house in Si'er Hutong.

It's too expensive and we can't afford to rent it," Lan Ting said frankly. "And I'm interested in your house on Jinyu Lane because you have a roommate living there. The third sister also has someone to take care of her there.

people.

But over there, the four stone piers under the grape trellis in the courtyard are all antiques from the previous dynasty. Liu Yuanrui's family lived there, and he was a warehouse guard. How could she rent that house to Cao E?

She thought for a while: How about this? The eldest son of my roommate Liu Yuanrui's family got married, and seven or eight members of his family were crowded there. A few days ago, he told me that he wanted to build a house to make a setback. How about this? I can only rent a regular house.

The house and the small kitchen behind the main house are given to you, and you only pay for three rooms. The eldest son of Liu Yuanrui's family moved to the back seat. In this way, the rent issue is solved, and I don't have to build a house and set back. Sister Cao E also has

A brave man. What do you think? Si'er Hutong is near the Liubu Yamen. Most of the people living there are officials from the Liubu. Quietly, there are no white people coming and going. A woman like Cao E lives there with a young child.

It couldn't be more appropriate.

Lan Ting clearly knew that Eleven Niang was helping her, but she couldn't refuse.
