Concubine Raiders Chapter 314: Birthday (Part 2)

Chapter 314 Birthday (Part 2)

The noise disappears, leaving only the whole courtyard quiet.

Eleven Niang whispered a few words to Mama Song, surrounded by Yanrong and the others, passing through the maids and women who were bowing to clean up the mess, came out of Spring Hall.

At the time of the change of spring and summer, the warm night breeze rushes towards you, with the fragrance of flowers.

She couldn't help taking a deep breath.

The sky is full of stars. It is shiningly inlaid in the deep blue night sky, dazzling and intoxicating.

There is more drums in the distance.

"Madam," Yan Rong said with concern, "You have been tired for a day, just tell the servants and maids if you have anything. You should rest early!"

Eleven Niang thought of today's guests, but didn't feel a little sleepy.

"Are all the guests on Hou Ye gone?"

"Not yet!" Yan Rong replied, "Master Hou and Master Zhuo, Master Jiang are still drinking."

Eleven Niang nodded, and went back to Chuilun Water Pavilion to rest.

I was awakened by Xu Lingyi in the middle of the night.

"Eleven mother, silently..." He lay his arms on the bed and looked down at her, his bright eyes carrying a few drunkenness, and his words were a little vague, "How do you sleep? Like a child, noisy and awake?"

Are you awake? What are you doing now?

Eleven Niang slandered in her heart. While sitting up, she loudly ordered the little maid outside the house to give Xu Lingyi a sober soup.

Xu Lingyi laughed as she listened and kissed her twice on the cheek.

The breath is full of strong wine.

Eleven Niang can't help but wrinkle her nose: "Go and freshen up-it's all alcohol!"

Xu Lingyi looked at her wrinkled little face and laughed. Not only did he not follow the word, he leaned in for a mess.

"Master Hou!" Eleven Niang was shocked and anxious. When she was blocking from the left and avoiding the right, she raised her eyes and saw the little maid walking in with a small tea tray of red painted begonia flowers.

She was in a hurry.

"Master Hou!"

Then pushed him hard.

Xu Lingyi was unsteady and fell on the bed staggeredly

Eleven Mother looked at Xu Lingyi in surprise--how could he be pushed down so easily by himself!

Xu Lingyi also looked at Eleven Mother in a little surprise--he didn't expect to be pushed out of bed by her.

The little maid carrying the tea tray was as scared as paper. She knelt on the ground with a "puff". The lid on the tray rustled, and there was a crisp sound of hitting porcelain, which was very clear in the quiet room.

Xu Lingyi found out that the little maid had come in.

He stood up on the edge of the bed with some embarrassment: "It's okay, it's okay. He didn't stand firm for a while."

Eleven Niang came back to her senses and saw him standing up on the edge of the bed again. She suspected that he might not drink too much, so she hurriedly got out of bed and helped him sit by the bed, and then asked the little boy as if nothing had happened. Maid: "Bring the hangover soup."

The little maid walked over holding the tray tremblingly.

Eleven Niang brought the hangover soup to Xu Lingyi.

Xu Lingyi drank it all.

Eleven Niang put the empty cup on the tray, took out the veil and handed it to Xu Lingyi.

The little maid stepped back in a panic.

Xu Lingyi took the veil and wiped his mouth, then took a long breath and staggered to his feet: "Let the little maid come in and take care of the change!"

Eleven Niang thought of her push just now...a little worried. I couldn't help but stepped forward to help him: "It's so late, let's take a concubine to serve Master Hou to change clothes!"

Xu Lingyi did not object, and the two went to the clean room.

Eleven Niang helped him pour water.

"I'm coming!" Xu Lingyi took the wooden spoon in her hand and only scooped cold water into the copper basin.

It was still cold in early summer.

"Master Hou!" Eleven Niang hesitated.

"It's okay!" Xu Lingyi was a little disapproving, "I used to take cold showers." Then he bent over and dipped his face into the copper basin.

Water splashes everywhere.

Eleven Mother was shocked.

Xu Lingyi has raised his head.

The water droplets on his face rained down on the placket.

He took a long breath.

There is no longer the comfort and briskness that Xi Niang saw when she opened her eyes, and her eyes became clearer.

Thinking of Xu Lingyi's different behavior from usual, Eleven Niang was a little worried, and hesitated to shout "Hou Ye..."

Xu Lingyi didn't look back, his head was slightly lowered, looking at the bronze face in front of him: "Old Zhuo, I have returned to Beijing to raise it!"

His face was reflected in the small bronze mirror on the washstand, vaguely.

Eleven Niang did not understand for a while: "What?"

"When I first arrived at the barracks, the first person I met was Lao Zhuo." His voice was a little low, "At that time, he was already a war-fighting general!" He recalled with a solemn expression. "He is the one who clamors the most, and he is the one who kills the enemy the bravest... Later, when I conquered the Northwest, he hired himself to be the vanguard... During the fight against Gesang, he broke a leg... The emperor asked him about his merits and rewards. What is his long-cherished wish in his life? He said that he is willing to go to the northwest of Yongzhen for the emperor. The emperor asked him to go to Yungui to become a general soldier..."

Is that the newly appointed Minister of War Master Zhuo?

"Now it's only two or three years of work." Xu Lingyi looked up, "He went back to Beijing to raise his fame, and Feiyun half-lengthed his reputation to destroy the northwest, and I..." He stared at the little bronze mirror. Silent for a while.

Feiyun? Jiang Feiyun? The one who replaced Xu Lingyi after the defeat in the Northwest?

Is he lamenting the vicissitudes of life after the feast dissipated?

Eleven Niang's hand fell on his shoulder unconsciously.

Xu Lingyi couldn't help turning his head and saw a pair of worried eyes.

He couldn't help but smile.

"It's okay!" He said, "The three of us, one of us was a minister of the Ministry of War, the other was the Grand Captain of the Five Army Capital Governors, and the other was the Prince's Young Master. Compared to those who died in Miao and the northwest, I don’t know. How lucky are you!"

There was no anger, no bitterness, no unwillingness, no complaints... Although there were a few emotions, more, but suddenly.

Eleven Mother was stunned and couldn't help staring at the man in front of her.

The black eyes, as clear as water, seemed to reflect his fragility and dazedness just now.

Xu Lingyi turned around uncomfortably and smiled: "By the way, did you see Mrs. Zhuo?"

His words evoked Shi Niang's mind. She grabbed Xu Lingyi's sleeve: "I was about to ask Lord Hou about this. How old is Lord Zhuo?"

The tone was a little anxious, but Xu Lingyi was startled: "What's the matter?"

"I think Mrs. Zhuo is only in her twenties. She said she wants to marry sister Zhen for the eldest son of the family." Eleven mother said, "I just heard what you said about raising them. What's the matter with their family? All the same?"

Xu Lingyi laughed as he listened to hahaha: "Lao Zhuo is fifty-six this year. Now Mrs. Zhuo is the fourth wife of Lao Zhuo. All three of them have died of illness. His eldest son is 15 years old this year. . It was born by the third wife."

"What is all this mess?" Eleven Niang whispered, and then asked Xu Lingyi, "Does Mrs. Zhuo have any biological children?"

"Yes!" Xu Lingyi said, "Old Zhuo has three sons. The second and third sons are both from Mrs. Zhuo."

"Who is there in the Zhuo family, the birth mother of the eldest son?"

"This is not clear!" Xu Lingyi said, "I only know that there is a Suihu with the surname Wan next to Lao Zhuo, who said it is Lao Zhuo's uncle, but I don't know which wife's brother it is!"

Eleven Niang could not help but groaned: "Isn't he your subordinate? Why don't you know anything!"

Xu Lingyi's eyes widened: "What am I doing when I ask his wife? I only know that he has a son!"

Eleven Mother thought for a while.

Also, most women talk about their husbands and children when working together, but men may not care about these when working together.

"Then do you know where Mrs. Zhuo came?"

"I know!" Xu Lingyi said, "Lao Zhuo told me just now."

"What did you say?" Eleven Niang was a little nervous.

The Zhuo family is too complicated, not a good match.

"I didn't even see anyone, how can I respond at will." Xu Lingyi said, "Naturally, I was sloppy."

Since the Zhuo family has this heart, I am afraid there will be another time.

The eleven mother pulled Xu Lingyi into the inner room: "Master Hou, we have to make a good total of this matter. This year is really..." She thought about it for a while before she came up with an adjective, "Just sing it. I am here!"

She has always been calm and generous, and Xu Lingyi rarely sees her eagerly.

He smiled and was pulled into the inner room by the eleven mother. Seeing that the eleven mother was only wearing a jersey, she casually took the Buddha-tou-green plain hang silk crane cloak that she had put on the hanger in her hand and placed it on the eleven mother.

The night in early summer was still a bit cool.

The eleven mothers closed her clothes, wrapped herself in the large Buddha's head and green silk-faced hanging silk crane cloak, smiled and said "thank you", and sat right and left with Xu Lingyi in the large window next to the window. On the kang.

"Ms. Jiang is here today too!" She poured two cups of warm water from the warm bucket on the side, one cup to Xu Lingyi, and one cup in front of her.

Xu Lingyi took the teacup: "I know. Feiyun also blamed me for not posting to him."

Eleven Niang took a sip of warm water and said: "Then do you know. Mrs. Jiang brought a niece of her own family today."

Xu Lingyi raised an eyebrow.

Eleven mother said: "Listening to Mrs. Jiang's tone, I want to get married with Brother Yu!"

"Feiyun didn't understand the word." Xu Lingyi was a little surprised, and muttered, "Ms. Jiang's maiden niece... If I remember correctly, the hereditary Xuzhou commander of Mrs. Jiang's father is also considered a big clan in the local area. . I just don’t know which head her niece is?"

"I don't know which head of the house it is!" Eleven mother smiled bitterly, "Listening to Mrs. Jiang's words, her niece has died since childhood and her parents have been raised by her. The biological mother is a big family in Changzhou, married When I came here, the dowry of seven or eight thousand taels of silver was the master of the outside family, and it was all left to her niece as the dowry. Now Mrs. Jiang is in charge."

Xu Lingyi couldn't help but touch her forehead when she heard it, and remembered Madam Zhou: "Which one did she mention?" There were several expectations in her voice.

"Said it is her natal nephew." Eleven mother said, "The one who is the chief envoy of Fujian is the head of the house. Three years older than our sister Zhen~IndoMTL.com~ is at home. He’s only son. He also said that he is handsome and has a gentle personality. He passed the exam last year."

Xu Lingyi frowned upon hearing: "'The head of the house with Fujian's chief envoy is the same as the head of the house.' That is a side branch. How many sisters are there in the family?"

"Said there are three sisters, all married."

"Do you know who is married to?"

"There were so many people at the time, there was no time to ask."

"There are three sisters, who are both sexual and gentle," Xu Lingyi said, "I'm afraid it's the old man who is looking forward to coming. Most of them are very spoiled and don't have any ideas." After speaking, he sighed, "We are both It’s a good idea to add up!"
