Chapter 751 Watching (Part 2)
Quickly called in. Before Xu Lingyi could give instructions, Eleven Niang had already said hurriedly.
The boy ran away quickly.
Brother Yu probably guessed that Brother Jin would be leaving in the next few days. Eleven Niang said with a smile, Brother Yu’s daughter-in-law didn’t mention it when she sent someone to deliver water chestnut lotus seeds to us a few days ago.
things.
Brothers should be in harmony and help each other.
Xu Lingyi nodded.
The boy brought in two women, one of whom was Xiang's personal mother, Mama Xiang.
The two women bowed respectfully and congratulated Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang happily.
I just found out a few days ago that the sixth young master has become the governor of Guizhou. We, the second young master, don’t know how happy we are. They sent us to Beijing overnight, and finally we entered the city before the sun set. Mother Xiang smiled and held one in both hands.
A box wrapped in blue silk cloth. This is the Cheng Yi that our second young master gave to the sixth young master. He also said that he wishes the sixth young master a bright future and all the best. He also held a bag of baggage. This is what our second young mistress made for the sixth young master.
I have a few pieces of autumn clothes. I said they were in a hurry. If there are any inappropriate things, please forgive me, Mr. Six.
Lengxiang stepped forward to pick it up, and Eleven Niang asked Hanxiao to carry a small spoon for the two women to sit down and talk, asking about some family affairs.
Knowing that Xu Siyu's family was very accustomed to life in Jiaxing, there was a heavy rain in Jiaxing Prefecture in June, and Xu Siyu had done a good job in organizing the young men to protect the embankment. The prefect gradually began to pay more attention to him, and she also became happy: "It's getting late, you guys will rest in the mansion today,
Tomorrow morning I will go and say hello to the Tai Madam and the Second Madam, so that they will be happy as well.
The two women smiled and followed Leng Xiang back.
Xu Lingyi asked Xu Sijin: Why haven't you come back yet? I still have something to tell him.
Although the officials have given them some time, if they don't set off again, they may not be able to reach Guizhou. After saying goodbye to his ancestors tomorrow morning, Xu Sijin will set off for Guizhou. Eleven Niang was about to go to see how the luggage was prepared, when she heard that
: Chang'an came in with a message. He said that Brother Jin was going to have a gathering with Qian Xun and the others tonight and would be back later. If you have anything to do with Mr. Hou, tell him. How about Mr. Hou and I go over to have a look and say,
On the one hand, he ordered Hanxiao to bring the things given by Xu Siyu and his wife.
Fortunately, Xu Lingyi thought about it and went to Qingyinju with Eleven Niang.
Ah Jin and Sui Feng were counting things when they saw Xu Lingyi and Shi Yi Niang hurriedly collecting the books and coming forward to salute.
Have you packed your things yet? Xu Lingyi said.
Everything was packed up, Ah Jin said with a smile. The servant was afraid that he might have left something behind, so he and Sui Feng took inventory again.
This time, Ah Jin and Sui Feng also followed Xu Sijin to Guizhou.
When Eleven Niang saw those boxes and cages, she thought that her son was leaving soon, and her mood suddenly became depressed: she didn’t know when he would be back.
Xu Lingyi comforted her: He is now a third-rank official and goes to Beijing to take the exam every year. He is much better than when he was in Guizhou.
Thinking of this, Eleven Niang let out a long breath and felt better.
Xu Lingyi and she sat on the big Kang near the window to wait for Xu Sijin.
Mr. Sun Laohou discussed with me today and wanted Brother Cheng to follow Brother Jin to Guizhou.
If it had been her, she would have chosen this way. Eleven Niang had already guessed it and said in a deep voice: Qiao, brother, why don't you stay at home?
Mr. Sun Laohou wanted him to go to the Henan Dusi. Xu Lingyi said, Mr. Sun had once been in charge of the Chinese Army Dudufu. Some of his old friends stayed in Henan. In addition, the Henan General Soldier and I also had some friendships, so he should go and train for a few years.
, learn some real skills, and then enter the Xishan Camp.
fair enough.
Eleven Niang slightly tilted her head.
Xu Lingkuan and his wife are here.
Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang couldn't help but look at each other.
I'm afraid it was because of Brother Cheng's arrival. Xu Lingyi smiled and went to the hall with Eleven Niang.
Unexpectedly, the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law also smiled and greeted Xu Lingyi. Everyone sat down with a smile. Ah Jin took the little maid to serve tea. The fifth lady asked Xu Sijin tactfully: Why are you not at home? Didn't you say that you will leave tomorrow?
Yet
Eleven Niang explained the situation again.
What else did the Fifth Madam want to ask, but Xu Lingkuan felt that there was no need to be so polite between brothers. Without waiting for the Fifth Madam to speak, he told Xu Lingyi straight to the point: Brother Cheng is no better than Brother Shen. He is only twelve years old this year and lives in the outer courtyard.
He kept running to the inner courtyard every three days. Brother Jin had just arrived in Guizhou and had so many things to do. How could he keep an eye on Brother Cheng every day? I think it would be better to let Brother Cheng go after the Spring Festival. In this way, Brother Jin
My son has settled down and brother Cheng has made preparations, so we can take care of brother Shen's affairs first.
Xu Lingyi Natural Tea Ying.
The fifth lady sighed longly and said, as the elders would say, hardships last a lifetime and happiness lasts a lifetime. They are all destined by God. These two children have no choice but to go climbing the mountain without taking the road. There is nothing I can do about it.
I can only ask Bodhisattva to bless and reward their hard work, and don't let them run around in vain. The tone in his voice was a little helpless, a little frustrated, and a little sad.
Eleven Niang thought about how she and Xu Lingyi were hesitating about Brother Jin's future, which was so similar to the fifth lady's mood at the moment. She comforted the fifth lady: Who said it wasn't at the beginning, I was not willing to give in, but now I see the child growing up day by day.
When I was older, I could not only take care of myself, but also my family. I felt lucky that I had made such a decision. The fifth brother and sister could rest assured that Brother Shen and Brother Cheng were both smart and good children.
Once you get acquainted with it, you will become more sensible and obedient in the future.
I hope so. The fifth lady nodded, with a hint of hope on her face. Brother Cheng is gone, and she needs to be taught more by Brother Cheng. Her tone is very sincere, and it can be seen that she is speaking from the bottom of her heart.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
The Fifth Madam has always had a bit of arrogance in her bones. If it weren't for her son, she wouldn't have let down her dignity. It can be seen that all mothers in the world are the same.
Xu Lingkuan felt that the Fifth Madam was unfounded. Before Eleven Niang could respond, she smiled and said: Brother Jin is an older brother, so he will naturally teach Brother Cheng well. Stop talking nonsense.
The fifth lady was furious.
Eleven Niang was afraid that the two of them would quarrel in her room, so she hurriedly smiled and said to Xu Lingkuan: "If uncle Wu is free tomorrow? If there is nothing to do, Mr. Hou would like to ask you to help send brother Jin off."
Xu Lingyi was a father and it was not easy to send his son off. He thought that his son would be able to get Duoyan back, so he went to Guizhou. He had no plans to send his son off at all. Hearing what Eleven Niang said on her own initiative, she couldn't help but glance at it.
A glance at Eleven Niang.
Xu Lingkuan was supposed to be on night duty tomorrow. The commander of the Imperial Guard knew that his nephew had been granted the title of Uncle Wu Jin and made the commander-in-chief of Guizhou Province, so he specially gave him a few days' leave, saying that it would allow him to deal with some trivial matters at home.
He was very happy, thinking that this was the face given to him by his sister-in-law. You must know that Xu Sijin is now a third-rank official, a high-ranking official who dominates a party. As an elder, those who are higher or lower than him must be given to him.
I saluted him, said hello, looked at his expression and acted, and just thinking about that scene made me feel a little carried away.
I'm free, I'm free. How could he notice these details? He smiled and said, "I'll come over at the beginning of tomorrow and accompany Brother Jin to the ancestral hall."
Seeing such a small thing made Xu Lingkuan happy, Xu Lingyi couldn't help but feel soft in her heart.
If the fifth brother is taught well, he might be able to do something good.
He was much more tolerant towards Xu Lingkuan than usual. He smiled and joked with him: Don't oversleep then.
How come, Xu Lingkuan looked a little excited when he saw his brother joking with him. Although I am a little confused in big things, I have never made any mistakes in small things.
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
The atmosphere is not only cheerful but harmonious.
Such an old man is still not serious. The fifth lady smiled and scolded Xu Lingkuan, and Xu Sijin came back.
What's going on? He drank a little too much, rubbed his head and said, "I, I went out early this morning and didn't do anything."
It made everyone laugh again.
The fifth lady even stepped forward and took Xu Hujin's hand and said to Eleven Niang: This is also at home. Who would believe what our Guizhou commander-in-chief Xu Sijin is like? She also asked Ah Jin to go and simmer a cup of strong tea to wake Xu Sijin up.
After sobering up, he told Xu Sijin his intention.
Xu Sijin breathed a sigh of relief and answered with a sigh of relief: As long as the seventh and eighth brothers can use me, in one sentence
The Fifth Madam was very satisfied with his attitude and nodded with a smile. After Xu Sijin drank tea, the group went to the Tai Madam's place.
The madam had already prepared the hangover soup and hurriedly asked Luzhu to bring it in.
Xu Sijin was first fed a large bowl of tea, and now he had a large bowl of soup. He finally drank it. The lady held his hand and asked him who was there to see him off and when he would return to the house. Xu Sijin answered them one by one.
.
Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Lingyi suggested that everyone go back first.
Mrs. Tai looked at Brother Jin who looked like a jade tree in the wind under the lamplight. She thought about going to that remote place tomorrow and there was no serious woman around to serve her. She told Eleven Niang that Eleven Niang always said that he was not good at martial arts.
I've been feeling very anxious these days: I'm going to rest at my grandmother's place today so that she can talk to you.
Xu Sijin looked at his grandmother, who had aged ten years after not seeing him for several years, and felt sad. He pretended to be happy and hugged his wife's shoulders: "I just want to talk to my grandmother, but I'm afraid that my father will stop me."
He dared his wife to look at Xu Lingyi with a straight face.
When Xu Lingyi saw her son making her mother happy, it was too late to be happy, so why did she stop him, stood up and retreated with a look of helplessness.
The madam laughed happily and whispered to Xu Sijin: Don't be afraid. If he dares to speak against you, just come and tell me. I will punish him by kneeling in the ancestral hall.
Okay, okay, Xu Sijin chuckled, wondering if he should find a chance to sue his father in front of his grandmother.
When Eleven Niang returned home, she was a little tired and asked Lengxiang to get warm water and come in to soak her feet.
Xu Lingyi sent the waiter beside him to sit aside with a small spoon and help her pinch her feet.
Doesn't matter, your legs seem a bit thick when I look at them
Really? Eleven Niang asked Xu Lingyi to hold the lamp over. After looking carefully for a long time, she didn't find anything strange. Could it be that you are blinded? Xu Lingyi still said conservatively: "Don't go see Brother Jin off tomorrow. He's gone again."
It's not that I didn't know you were pregnant
Eleven Niang's expression froze.
What's wrong? Xu Lingyi looked at her with concern.
"I, I haven't told him yet," Eleven Niang murmured. She was actually a little embarrassed that she couldn't find a suitable opportunity.
Xu Lingyi was stunned there.
Otherwise, when you take Brother Jin to the ancestral hall to kowtow to your ancestors tomorrow, you can tell him. Eleven Niang looked at Xu Lingyi.
Isn't it a mother's duty to sue Bingxie?
