Eleven Niang was a little surprised and said with a smile: My natal niece is here. Tell the Fifth Madam and we will go to her place after we go to say hello to the Grand Madam.

After hearing this, the maid hurriedly said congratulations and smiled: Our wife asked the eldest cousin two days ago when she would come over. Just in time, I went to report to our wife. Our wife knows, and she doesn't know how to be happy.

He said, the fourth lady asked me to make arrangements for my eldest cousin before going back, lest our wife know that I turned back like this and scold me for not knowing the rules.

She was using the fifth lady's reputation to promote Ying Niang, and Eleven Niang smiled and did not stop her.

After a while, Ying Niang dressed up and came out.

The double-snail bun is simply tied with two beaded hoops, and she wears a grass-green mandarin with moon-white bud edges, and a white threaded skirt. She doesn't look very flashy, but she is still elegant and decent.

Eleven Niang smiled and went to the Madam's place with her.

Yingying, who was over one year old, could already walk while holding on to things. The madam asked someone to put her on the kang, and she was walking holding on to the kang table.

When I saw Eleven Niang, she raised her pink little face and called her grandmother. However, because of her unclear pronunciation, the word "ancestor" was vague, and the word "mother" was very clear. She seemed to be calling her mother, which annoyed everyone for a while.

laugh.

When I first met your aunt, your aunt was your age. The wife held Ying Niang’s hand and talked, and in the blink of an eye, you were both this old. I am also old. In the end,

Very sad.

The sage Kong said that at sixty, one's ears are attuned, and at seventy, one can follow one's heart without breaking the rules. Ying Niang smiled and said, we are extremely envious of you.

The wife laughed loudly after hearing this: You child, you have actually read the words of Kong Shengren. You can't help but drag your head. You seem to like it very much, so you stay with me for dinner. I asked your cousin Xin to accompany me and pointed.

Mrs. Xiang: You also stay and ask someone to ask Mr. Jiang to bring brother Ting and come over for dinner together.

Ying Niang took the opportunity to glance at Eleven Niang.

Seeing Eleven Niang smiling slightly at her, she smiled and said yes.

When the lady saw it, she said angrily: You don't have to look at her. I want to keep you, and she doesn't dare to disagree.

Today's Eleven Niang is not the Eleven Niang of the past, who has presided over the middle minister of the Yongping Marquis Mansion for ten years. The only one who dares to speak like this in front of her is the Madam.

The people in the room laughed again after hearing this.

The madam’s mind is too biased. Someone smiled and lifted the curtain and came in, thinking of the sons and daughters-in-law of the fourth sister-in-law. I didn’t eat dinner either.

Everyone followed the sound and saw a smiling young man wearing a rose-red gold jacket and a peony bun dragged in.

When Ying Niang saw the tourmaline bracelets she was wearing on her hands, they were the size of a fingernail and were all transparent blue. They were of extraordinary appearance. She knew that this was the fifth lady of the Yongping Marquis Mansion.

After Eleven Niang introduced her, she smiled, made a blessing ceremony, and called Fifth Madam...

The five adults pointed to Sister Xin who was following behind them: This is your second cousin. They also pointed to Brother Cheng, this is your eighth cousin.

The two little girls saw the gift, but Brother Cheng pulled Ying Niang and said: Cousin, did you come by boat or car?

Yingniang was stunned and said with a smile: I took a bus to Hangzhou, then took a boat from Hangzhou to Tongzhou, and then took the Feng to Yanjing.

Brother Cheng showed his lustful eyes.

The fifth lady took Ying Niang's hand and said, "Don't worry about it. Ever since your seventh cousin left the house, your eighth cousin has been talking about it every day. When will he be like your seventh cousin and go out to play?"

This was a household chore of the Xu family, and Ying Niang only smiled slightly.

Everyone sat down in order, and Ms. Jiang arrived with the nun who was holding Brother Ting in her arms.

After Eleven Niang said those words, she suddenly fell silent. There were dark circles under her eyelids. Everyone just thought she was disturbed by the children. The madam even said: Young man, your body and bones are important. If not, please take care of Brother Ting.

Put it in my house to raise for a few days

You are older, not even Uncle Six has ever quarreled with you like this. How can you let Brother Ting quarrel with you? She declined the person politely but gradually lost weight.

She bowed to the elders in a somewhat reserved manner, and then smiled and said some words to Ying Niang that were appropriate for the occasion. She was not overly affectionate, nor overly flirtatious, and seemed very low-key.

Ying Niang couldn't help but feel strange.

When I met this fourth cousin-in-law during the Chinese New Year last year, it was like jewels gathered together. Her speech was clear and her expression was high. However, just one year later, the birth of a legitimate eldest grandson was just the icing on the cake. Why did she look lonely instead?

, just a bit depressing.

She smiled and stepped forward to salute. Mrs. Jiang took off a tourmaline bracelet and gave it to her as a greeting gift.

Seeing everyone laughing together, Mrs. Tai smiled and called Mother Du to have dinner.

Everyone gathered around the lady and went to the banquet room in the east corner of the room.

After dinner, several juniors gathered to talk in front of the Tai Madam, while the Fifth Madam winked at Eleven Niang. The two stood at the door of the couch between the hall and the west room, and the people in the room looked up.

You can see them, and they can also see the scene in the room, acting like the elders are giving the younger ones a chance to talk.

Someone told us Sister Xin about a family. I just couldn't make up my mind and wanted to discuss it with you, but I looked very hesitant.

Eleven Niang imitated her and spoke in a lowered voice: "Fifth younger brother and sister, tell me."

His surname is Lu, and his single name is the word Xian. His father once served as the commander of the right guard of Xiaoqi, and was killed in battle when his fourth brother went on an expedition to the northwest. The imperial edict granted him the title of Wei Tongzhi of Tianjin. It is said that he is handsome, good at bow and horse, and proficient in classics and history. Although this year

He is already eighteen years old, but the person I sent to inquire came back and said that this Mr. Lu has very high eyes and has always wanted to find someone to be proud of. Our sister Xin, I dare not say anything else, but this appearance is amazing.

The fifth lady said and looked at the eleventh mother with a smile. The matchmaker and I agreed to see each other in two days. I would like to ask the fourth sister-in-law to help me to see that the fourth sister-in-law is not like me. At least she has been a matchmaker several times.

experience.

It turned out to be for this reason.

Okay. Eleven Niang said with a smile, Tianjin Wei is a colleague of David. He should be the fifth grade. Although he is marrying far away, Tianjin is only five or six days away from Yanjing. The post road is smooth and it is convenient to come and go. Mr. Lu looks good.

Good. She is talented and knowledgeable, and she nodded slightly. She and our sister Xin are a match made in heaven.

The fifth lady smiled, with a hint of pride in her brows.

After two years of trying, I finally found a good home for my daughter.

Fourth sister-in-law, look, is it better to have this meeting at Xiangguo Temple or Ciyuan Temple?

What does matchmaker mean? Eleven Niang said with a smile, if there is no one who is suitable, it is better to listen to the matchmaker's arrangements.

The fifth lady smiled and shook her head: I just don't want to listen to the matchmaker's arrangements. Who knows what's wrong with this? She told an anecdote: When the day came for the meeting, the man rode a horse and the woman covered it with a fan.

At the corner of the mouth, it was not until the night of the bridal chamber that the woman took off her hijab and discovered that there was a wart on the corner of the woman's mouth. The man was a loser. Eleven Niang couldn't help but laugh in a low voice.

What are you two talking about quietly? The lady laughed and said, secretly having fun there.

Are you talking about a joke? The Fifth Madam and the Eleventh Mother looked at each other and smiled, and walked over. I will tell it to you alone one day. The Fifth Madam walked over, and Mrs. Jiang who was sitting next to the Tai Madam hurriedly stood up and gave up her seat. The Fifth Madam was also polite.

Smiled and sat down. He took the beauty hammer from the little maid's hand and gently helped the madam hammer it so as not to let these little girls overhear.

The madam laughed heartily.

Eleven Niang asked Mrs. Jiang: I heard from Baozhu that you have been having trouble sleeping these days. Now that you are feeling better, do you want to ask a doctor to take a look?

If you are taught a lesson by your mother-in-law, but you don't accept the lesson humbly and act like you are restless, don't you mean that your mother-in-law taught you something wrong?

Mrs. Jiang hurriedly said: I have nothing to do. Maybe it’s spring and I’m feeling sleepy. Eleven Niang smiled and nodded: That’s good. I was thinking that it will be the third day of March in a few days. Even if it is Women’s Day, it is also

It’s Brother Jie’s birthday. It’s easy to talk about Brother Jie. As usual, we all had a bowl of longevity noodles and left. The spring banquet on March 3rd needs to be carefully planned. Brother Jin’s yard has not been tidied up yet.

, your father-in-law wrote to say that he will leave for Yanjing in mid-March. I want to tidy up Qingling Residence before your father-in-law comes back. If you are in good health, please come and help me organize the banquet on March 3rd.

Mother-in-law Jiang looked at Eleven Niang in astonishment.

I don’t know the true face of Mount Lu. I just wish I was born in this mountain.

Eleven Niang's words were so clear. When Mrs. Jiang went back and thought about it carefully, she could naturally get a clue. But one side was her mother's family and the other was her husband's family. She really didn't know what to do in front of her mother-in-law. She had to remain silent.

Unexpectedly, my mother-in-law broke the deadlock first and asked her to help organize the March 3rd spring banquet in front of so many people.

In this way, the fourth child really made a decision to leave in mid-March. He said a lot of words, but the wife only heard this sentence. He also said the same when he wrote to me. I thought he was coaxing me to make a move.

Eleven Niang went over to ask, they should be able to come back in time to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. You need to think carefully about how to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. They have been away from home for most of the year.

Eleven Niang said with a smile: Lord Marquis just wants to come back to celebrate your birthday. I will definitely be there during the Dragon Boat Festival. Then I will discuss with you how to celebrate this Dragon Boat Festival.

The madam nodded with satisfaction: Let them not rush on their way. Their health is important. It doesn't matter if it's my birthday or not. I know he said filial piety for most of the month.

Mrs. Jiang stood there, looking at Eleven Niang's peaceful smiling face, with mixed feelings in her heart.

Does the mother-in-law's behavior count as a sign before the family is officially handed over to her?

Amber also has this concern: what should I ask the Fourth Young Master to tell me and what matters should I ask you to tell me?

How to spend the spring banquet? How much money? How to spend the money? Ask the fourth young nǎǎi to give me a charter. The eleventh lady smiled and said, I have read it. You can just act according to the charter. What kind of hall to buy when the time comes? How to decorate the menu? How to decide what you and the fourth lady will do?

The young nǎǎi left after discussing it. He also said, tell Aunt Wen and ask her to copy the account books of the house in the past few years and give them to the fourth young nǎǎi. This way, she will have some confidence in what she does.
