Concubine Raiders Chapter 680: Walking (down)


After tidying up the house in Sier Hutong, Liu Yuanrui’s eldest son Liu Daping and his family moved in and settled in. It was the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month. Eleven mother asked Amber to report to Lanting: "You can move in anytime... "

The next day was Xiaonian, and there was a stream of people who came to visit Liangge for the New Year, and Lanting, as the daughter-in-law of the host, was even more busy. In this way, she took the time to go to Si'er Hutong. , Gave Liu Taiping's two hundred taels of silver, and asked her to help set up some tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans, firewood, rice, oil and salt, and also rewarded her with two hundred taels of silver.

Liu Taiping is now on duty in Xu Mansion. He is the guardian of the door. He is still very honest, but he is Eleven's companion house, and no one dares to look down upon him. Not only that, but he also promoted him as a foreman, under his control over a dozen people. His family. She is the niece of mother Li's mother in the inner courtyard. She once worked in the small kitchen of the second wife of Xufu's inner courtyard. Not only is she flexible, she also cooks good meals. Won the reward, I hurriedly took a box of dim sum to Lan Ting's close mother: "Make it yourself, you can taste it..."

The mother smiled and took it. Go back and give it to the person next to you. The people next to me were full of praise. After eating one piece, I needed a second piece... Then my mother moved in her heart and hurriedly put the remaining pieces of dim sum to Lan Ting: "You also try...

Lanting had no time to eat dinner, so he took a bite with hot tea: "It's really good. Sweet and refreshing, with the taste of lotus seeds and mung bean yarn. I don't know what stuffing is made..." It took two or three yuan to let go.

"It was made by Liu Taiping in Si'er Hutong's house.... Lan Ting slightly raised his head and said "I know...". I kept the snack.

After busying with the fifth day, I asked my mother to hand over the post to Xu's house, saying that she would go to greet the wife on the sixth day.

Xu Lingyi was not at home. Xu Sizhen came forward to worship the ancestors and pay New Year's greetings. The younger generations naturally led them to Jiang. People like Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Tang were hosted by Eleven Niang, Mrs. Huang, Taijun Zheng, etc. The elders will be invited to sit in the wife's room. It’s just that Mrs. Zhou and they are both clan wives, and the guests at home are still busy. How can they come to Xu’s house to join in the fun, it’s just a bad mother who brought a famous post to worship. This year, Mrs. Huang and Taijun Zheng are both old and can’t stand up to it. I usually walk around with each other, and the more I get to this festival, the more I don’t go anywhere, that is, my family’s side branch comes to pay New Year’s greetings. It depends on the spirit. Mrs. Tai didn't have any guests, and the eleven mothers were free. On the contrary, Mrs. Jiang was very busy.

Too big invited two female storytellers to tell the story. Xu Sijie is afraid of her mother’s loneliness." Every morning, I came to talk to Eleven Niang. When the sun is good, the beauty leaning under the eaves leaned on to play the flute. The maids and daughters-in-law who provoke the past cannot help but look more.

Eleven mothers couldn't help but smile slightly.

Does this count as a young man in my family?

Xu Sijie has no such self-consciousness. He took the eleven mother and stood on the stairs through the hall.

"Mother. You said, "How about we plant a few cannas in the corner?" …" The two beautiful Taihu rocks on the east corner of the wall are...like emerging from the rocks, they are a bit witty no matter what season it is...

"Okay!..." Eleven mother thought this was a good idea, "When the chūn opens, you can let someone plant a few plants!"

Xu Sijie smiled and answered, "Yes...", a little maid walked in hurriedly: "Madam, the Fourth Young Master came with Mrs. Jiang's wife of the Hanlin Academy!"

Eleven Niang smiled and nodded to the gate of the courtyard to welcome Mrs. Jiang.

After saying "Gong Xi...", Madam Jiang and Eleven Niang went to the main house side by side.

"I should have come to see you years ago..." Madam Jiang said. "Coincidentally, I just have something to do at home and wait for it to be done. It's the new year. No, it's over after the fourth day of the new year." …"

"You are too polite." The Eleven Mother asked Mrs. Jiang to sit down on the big kang at the window, "It should be me to pay you a New Year greeting. It's only inconvenience for me if Master Hou is not at home. It's not convenient for me to celebrate the New Year this year. I didn’t leave. Please forgive me!” After the two of them chatted for a long time, Mrs. Jiang got up to say goodbye: “This is too busy for the Chinese New Year. After the new year, I will come to you someday and we will talk about ourselves. Words..." smiled again. "I have long heard that the hot house in the Hou Mansion of Yongping keeps fresh all year round. When the time comes, I have to ask my wife to take me to see this hot house...

"I'm afraid I won't invite you!" Eleven mothers stayed with her, "Why do you want to go back after eating? Otherwise, what do you make us think in our hearts!..."

"You have a lot of customers. I'll come back another day to disturb... Jiang insisted on leaving.

Jiang took Mrs. Jiang's arm: "Auntie, you can stay for dinner before leaving!..." He stayed very sincerely.

Husband Jiang is hesitant.

Wang Shu hurried over.

"Madam, Fourth Madam, Madam Jiang!..." He hugged a group and bowed." "Four Young Master has something to ask me about Fourth Madam!" …"

Jiang's step forward: "What's the matter?"

Wang Shu glanced at Xi Niang and Madam Jiang, and his voice suddenly lowered: "Four young masters asked me to ask the fourth young man nǎinǎi" Where did you receive the pair of gourds for raising grasshoppers that you bought last summer? Prince Wang Yun came to visit the Fourth Young Master, and the Fourth Young Master asked him to find the pair of gourds and send it to the Prince. ".

"I let the orbs put away the pair of gourds and put them on the shelf of the study's Duobao Pavilion. You can find them as soon as you look for them." Jiang Shen said, "Duke Yu asked the fourth master for this pair of gourds? The Fourth Young Master wants to give this pair of gourds to Prince Wang?

"It was Prince Wang who said that he fought grasshoppers with Prince Li a few days ago and ended up losing to the equipment. The Fourth Young Master said that he got the right gourd in the summer, which looks pretty good. Let him take it out to the Prince. Take a look. If the prince can admire it, give it to the prince..."

Jiang did not ask more, and ordered Jewelry to find a gourd for Xu Sichen.

Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "Excuse me." She stayed at Eleven Niang for dinner.

The Jiang family sent Mrs. Jiang to the Chuhuāmen. "I reluctantly spoke for a long time, until Mrs. Jiang's carriage disappeared in front of Jiang's eyes. Jiang stood for a while, then turned to the inner courtyard.

Qiu Yu smiled and came over: "Four young masters, Madam wants you to sit with her!...

Jiang was a little surprised.

At this time, don't know what the mother-in-law is looking for?

She trimmed her dress, and went to the main house with Qiu Yu.

The maids who usually serve under the eaves are gone. The red lanterns are hanging quietly under the eaves, and needles can be heard in the yard.

Her heartstrings tightened, and there was a cautious gesture between her gestures.

"Come on." The eleven mother smiled and pointed to the grand teacher's chair in front of the Kang ""Sit down and talk! . , Jiang answered "Yes" and sat in the chair of the teacher, with the light from the corner of his eye staring around.

Amber was the only one serving her in the room, but after Amber offered her tea, she tiptoed back. Only her and the eleven mother were left.

Jiang took a deep breath, and his mood gradually calmed down.

"Mother, what can you tell me to come here?"

"There is nothing special..., Shi Niang smiled and took the oranges on the high-footed fruit plate of blue huā porcelain on the Kang table and recorded it. "I just thought of one thing, I want to ask you! ".

Jiang hurriedly said: "Mother, please?. Eleven Niang did not make a sound, lowered her head, and concentrated on recording the oranges.

The room became unusually quiet.

Jiang heard her breathing quickly and heavily.

She was busy holding her breath.

After a long while, Eleven Niang finally recorded the oranges.

She carefully removed the white meridians on the orange again. Then he raised his head with a smile and handed the orange taro to Jiang: "Taste it" is a tribute from Fujian. "

Jiang owed and took the oranges. There was a dilemma-eat it, look at the mother-in-law like this, it is obvious that there is a very important thing to tell her, she just ate oranges like this, as if she didn’t respect enough . Don't eat it, the mother-in-law personally took the bag, and if the mother-in-law wants to be partial, she thinks she dislikes her.

She couldn't make up her mind for a while.

Eleven Niang has taken the kerchief and wiped her hands, and clearly doesn't plan to record oranges anymore.

Should you split half of it with your mother-in-law?

Jiang thought to pay, and saw Eleven Niang picking up the tea cup and taking a sip, smiling: "I heard the last time Brother Jian said that you asked me to give Concubine Yong two thousand taels. Talk to the princess about silver..."

How can she tell her mother-in-law!

Jiang listened to his heart, and said hurriedly: "Mother-in-law, I just feel that the palms and backs of the hands are all ròu. The Emperor Yong's mansion built a garden, and the silver in his hand is not convenient." Although our strength is small, but Now that I know it, I have to do my best. Just as some days when the great princess worshipped the pimples, mother and Madam Zhou made a special trip to Ciyuan Temple to pray for the great princess. I hope that the prince and princess Yong will not misunderstand. ", "You don't need to be nervous..." Xi Niang smiled, "I just listen to you~IndoMTL.com~ It seems that I have read a lot of books on history and the like. So ask! . , "The school opened academy at home,..." Jiang thought carefully, "If you listen to it a lot, you will have some impression. I haven't read it seriously."

"I just felt it...." Eleven mother said, "I heard from your twelve aunt yesterday when I went back to Gongxian Hutong. Her uncle's daughter was once the chief secretary in Fujian and is now in Dali Temple. The second daughter of Qing's uncle married the eldest son of the prefect of Jianning Prefecture. This time, the prefect of Jianning Prefecture was also implicated in Fujian Daluàn, and the whole family was exiled to Yongchang, Yunnan. Although Mr. Wang is the prince of Dali Temple, he is also involved. There is no way to save my daughter, grandson Yu Kuan..." As she said, the smile on her face gradually converged, "I miss it every festive season. Your twelve aunt’s aunt is heartbroken and crying when she thinks of her daughter in Yunnan. The pain is endless, and no one can stop persuading. The people next to me also cried when they saw it. The family is miserable, and I haven't even had a good year..." She sighed softly. "I think back then, when your twelfth aunt's mother-in-law was seriously ill and I went to visit, their aunt, nǎinǎi, was still a little girl, and accompanied her mother to visit.

I heard that she speaks. Not only is she proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and calligraphy, but she also likes to read classics and history. He is even more generous and decent, and he is a person like a pearl and morning dew. Unexpectedly, it would end up in such a situation. As I listened, I felt sad and half a person..."

Eleven Niang's words are just a little boring. He is as smart as Jiang, but he can hear clearly and clearly. !
