Concubine Raiders

After cleaning up the house over there, Liu Yuanrui's eldest son, Liu Taiping, moved in and settled down. On the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, Shiniang asked amber to report to Lanting: "you can move in at any time."

The next day was the new year, and the people who came to pay New Year's greetings to Liang Ge kept flowing. As the daughter-in-law of the host, Lanting is very busy. In this way, she took the time to go to Si'er alley and gave Liu Taiping's family 200 liang of silver, asked her to help buy some tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans, firewood, rice, oil and salt, and gave her another two taels of silver.

Liu Taiping is now on duty in Xu's house. He is still very honest, but he is the companion of eleven niangs. No one dares to look down on him. Not only that, but also promoted him to be a foreman, who was in charge of about ten people. His family is the niece of Li's mother, who is in charge of the kitchen in the inner courtyard. She once worked as a poor cook in the small kitchen of the second wife of Xu's house. She is not only flexible, but also cooks good food. Got the reward, quickly took a box of snacks to Lanting's mother: "do it yourself, you take it to taste."

The mother picked it up with a smile. Go back to the people next to taste, the people next to are full of praise, eat a piece but also the second piece.. The mother's heart moved, busy left a few pieces of dim sum to serve to Lanting: "you also taste."

Before Lanting had time to have dinner, he took a bite of hot tea: "it's really good. It is sweet and refreshing, with the taste of lotus seed and mung bean paste. I don't know what kind of stuffing it is. " It took two or three bucks to let go.

"It was made by Liu Taiping's family in Si'er Hutong."

Orchid Pavilion slightly Xi head, said a sentence "I know", left that snack down.

Busy after the fifth day, let my mother pass the post to Xu's house, said the sixth day to say hello to Mrs. Tai.

When Xu Lingyi is not at home, it is Xu Si Zhun who comes forward to offer sacrifices to ancestors and new year's greetings. Those who are small in number are naturally taken to Jiang's place. Those like Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Tang Si are entertained by eleven Niang. The elders such as Mrs. Huang and Zheng Taijun will be invited to sit in Mrs. Tai's room. It's just that Mrs. Zhou and her family are all housewives. The guests in the family are still busy. How can they come to the Xu's house to join in the fun? It's just that the right mother comes here to celebrate the new year with a name card. Mrs. Huang and Zheng Taijun are both old and can't stand the clamor. They still walk around each other at ordinary times. The more they come to this new year's festival, the more they don't go. It's the local branch of their family who comes to pay New Year's greetings, but also depends on their spirit. There are no guests there at all. Eleven Niang is also free, but Jiang is very busy there. Mrs. Tai invited two female storytellers to tell stories. Xu Sijie was afraid of his mother's loneliness. He came to talk with his mother early every morning. When the sun was good, the beautiful woman leaning under the eaves was leaning on the flute. Make past servant girl, daughter-in-law son can't help but look at more.

Eleven Niang could not help but smile.

Is this the beginning of my family!

Xu Si Jie did not have such consciousness. He took Shiniang and stood on the steps of the hall.

"Mother, how about some Canna plants in the corner?" He pointed to the two beautiful Taihu stones in the corner of the eastern wall. "It looks like they come out of the stones. No matter what season it is, it has a bit of fun."

"Good!" Eleven Niang thinks this idea is good, "wait to open spring, you let a person plant a few plants!"

Xu Sijie said with a smile that "yes", and a little servant girl came in in in a hurry: "madam, the fourth young grandmother has come with the wife of the academician Jiang of the Imperial Academy!"

Eleven Niang nodded with a smile and met Mrs. Jiang at the gate of the hospital.

After saying "gong xi" to each other, Mrs. Jiang and Xi Niang went to the main room side by side.

"I should have come to see you years ago," said Jiang Fu humanly. "But there is something wrong with my family. When I'm finished, it will be a new year. No, I'll come to pay New Year's greetings to you as soon as the fourth day of junior high school is over. "

"It's very kind of you," she asked Mrs. Jiang to sit down on the Kang at the temporary window. "I'm supposed to pay you a new year's visit. It's just that the Marquis is is not at home. I'm so inconvenient that I haven't left for the Spring Festival this year. Please forgive me

After two people exchanged greetings for a long time, Mrs. Jiang got up to say goodbye: "I'm too busy for the Spring Festival. When the new year is over, I'll visit you one day, and we'll talk about ourselves. " He also said with a smile, "I've heard that the warm house of the Marquis of Yongping is full of flowers all the year round, so I'd like to ask my wife to take me to have a look at it."

"I'm afraid I won't come either!" Eleven Niang left her, "how can I go back after eating?"? Otherwise, what do you want our four little grandmothers to think? "

"You have many guests. I'll disturb you another day Jiang insisted on going.

Jiang took Mrs. Jiang's arm and said, "Auntie, you can stay and have dinner before you go." It was very sincere.

Mrs. Jiang hesitated.

Wang Shu came quickly.

"Madame, Madame Jiang, fourth young grandmother!" He gave a salute and said, "the fourth young master has something to ask my fourth young grandmother!"

Jiang stepped forward: "what's the matter?"

Wang Shu took a look at Shiniang and Mrs. Jiang, and his voice suddenly dropped down: "fourth young master asked me to ask the fourth young grandmother, where did you receive the pair of gourds that you bought last summer? Wang Yun Wang came to pay New Year's greetings to the fourth young master. The fourth young master asked him to find out the pair of gourds and send them to him. "

"I asked Baozhu to put away that pair of gourds and put them on the top of the shelf of Duobao Pavilion in my study. You can find it as soon as you look. " Jiang said in a deep voice, "is it the prince who asks the fourth young master for this pair of gourds? Or does the fourth young master want to give this pair of gourds to Mr. Wang? ""It was the prince who said that he had a fight with Mr. Li a few days ago, but he lost on the utensils. The fourth young master said that he got the right gourd in summer, which looked very good. Let's take it out and show it to Mr. Wang. If he likes it, it will be given to him. "

Jiang didn't ask any more questions, and told Baozhu to go to find the gourd for Xu sizhun.

Mrs. Jiang said "disturb" with a smile and stayed at eleven Niang for dinner.

Jiang sent Mrs. Jiang to the door of the hanging flower, and said a long time reluctantly, until Mrs. Jiang's carriage disappeared in Jiang's sight. Jiang stood for a while, and then turned to the inner yard.

Qiuyu came over with a smile: "fourth little grandma, madam, let you sit down with her!"

Jiang was a little surprised.

At this time, I don't know what my mother-in-law has to do with her?

She adjusted her dress and went to the main room with the autumn rain.

At present, none of the maids standing under the eaves are missing. The red lanterns are quietly hanging under the eaves, and needles can be heard in the courtyard.

Her heart strings were tense, and she was cautious in her movements.

"Come on," eleven Niang said with a smile, pointing to the chair in front of the Kang, "sit down and talk!"

Jiang's reply was "yes", and he was sitting on the imperial chair. Yu Guangchao, the corner of his eye, looked around him.

There was only amber in the room to serve, but amber gave her tea and then crept back down. Only she and Shiniang were left.

Jiang took a deep breath and calmed down gradually.

"What can I do for you, mother?"

"Nothing special." With a smile, eleven Niang took the orange in the blue and white porcelain high foot fruit tray on the Kang Table and peeled it, "I just thought of one thing and wanted to ask you!"

Jiang's busy way: "mother, excuse me?"

Eleven Niang did not make a sound, lowered her head, and was absorbed in peeling the orange.

The room became unusually quiet.

Jiang heard his rapid and heavy breathing.

She was busy holding her breath.

After a long time, eleven Niang finally peeled the orange.

She carefully removed the white meridians on the orange. Then she raised her head with a smile and handed the orange to Jiang: "try it. It's a tribute from Fujian."

Jiang owes himself and takes the orange. He is in a dilemma. Eat it. Seeing her mother-in-law like this, it is obvious that there is a very important thing to tell her. If she eats oranges so carelessly, it seems that she doesn't respect them; if she doesn't eat them, her mother-in-law peels them by her own hands. If her mother-in-law wants to deviate from her, she thinks she dislikes her.

For a moment, she was a little uncertain.

Eleven Niang had already taken a handkerchief to wipe her hands, clearly did not intend to peel orange again.

Do you want to give half to your mother-in-law?

Jiang thought about it, and saw that eleven Niang took a sip of the tea cup and said with a smile, "I heard that Zhun elder brother said last time that you asked me to tell the prince about the two thousand taels of silver sent to Princess Yong..."

How could she direct her mother-in-law!

Hearing this, Jiang said, "mother-in-law, I just feel that the palm and the back of the hand are meat. It's not convenient to have the silver in the hands of the Lord Yong's mansion to make the garden. Although we have little strength, we should do our best now that we know it. Just like a few days ago, the princess worshipped lady pox, and her mother and Mrs. Zhou made a special trip to Ciyuan temple to pray for the princess. I hope the Crown Princess and Princess Yong don't misunderstand each other. "

"You don't have to be nervous." Eleven Niang said with a smile, "I just listen to your tone, as if I have read a lot of classics and history books. So ask! "

"My family runs academies," Jiang thought. "If I hear more, I have some impression, but I haven't read it seriously."

"I just feel it." When I went back to Gongxian Hutong yesterday, I heard your twelve aunt say that her uncle's second daughter, who had served as chief secretary in Fujian and is now the Minister of Dali temple, married the eldest son of Jianning Prefecture magistrate. During the Fujian riots, the magistrate of Jianning Prefecture was also involved, and the whole family was exiled to Yongchang, Yunnan and Guizhou. Although Mr. Wang is the Minister of Dali temple, he has no way to save his daughter and grandson from prison. " She said, the smile on her face gradually closed, "every festival, I miss my relatives. As soon as your twelve aunt's aunt thinks of her daughter who is far away in Yunnan, her heart is broken. She is crying and painful, and no one can persuade her. The people next to her are also weeping. It's a miserable family, not even a good year. " She sighed softly, "I once visited your twelve aunt's mother-in-law when she was seriously ill. Her aunt was still a little girl, and she went to see the doctor with her mother. Listening to her, I was not only proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also fond of reading classics and history. He is a pearl and morning dew. I didn't expect to end up in such a situation. I've been sad for a long time... "

Eleven Niang's words are a little muddleheaded, smart as Jiang's, but hear clearly and clearly.
