Chapter 17 Entanglement

Isn’t there a poem that says we are born from the same roots, so why rush into each other? Seriously speaking, compared with Miss Ten, they are just a piece taller than Miss Ten because they rolled from the ground to a bamboo mat. That’s why Miss Eleven treats Miss Ten

Such tolerance. Who knew that Amber would be the troublemaker, disturbing everyone's peace?

Bin Ju went to Eleven's house with resentment, and happened to see Amber talking to Miss Eleven about making clothes: I'll help you and Miss Fifth do it first, Miss Ten hasn't started yet. I just don't know who Miss Twelve is.

Should I make clothes with you or Miss Ten?

Eleven Niang's eyes were bright and she was just smiling. But Bin Ju's face was green. The good impression she had for Amber when they were having a banquet in the Nuan Pavilion that night disappeared immediately.

Seeing that something was wrong, Dongqing asked Bin Ju to find a job: I want to help the lady divide the money and make purses. You go to Mother Xu's place. The lady worked overnight to embroider the screen. We use a lot of silver frost charcoal. Let her pull out more for us.

.

Binju could only nod.

Eleven Niang picked up the needle and thread, indicating that she was going to start embroidering.

Amber just pretended not to see it, picked up the fire tongs and pulled out the coals from the brazier, and said with a smile: I also heard that Miss Shi is copying Buddhist scriptures for the eldest wife these days, saying that she wants to write them before the Chinese New Year, so that she can have them.

Can my wife bring it to Ci'an Temple to offer sacrifices to Guanyin Bodhisattva on the ninth day of the lunar month?

Eleven Niang was slightly startled after hearing this: What about the aunt?

I heard Sister Huan said that it was because the eldest aunt asked Miss Ten to copy Buddhist scriptures that Miss Ten remembered that the eldest wife was also a believer in Buddhism. Amber smiled and said that Miss Ten also said that when she was young, the eldest wife pampered her.

She didn't know either. Now that she has grown up, she has read the eldest wife's good deeds with the master. After hearing this, the eldest wife also said that people can be good from the book. Now the tenth lady also knows what is good and bad.

Surprise flashed through Eleven Niang's eyes: What she said in front of the eldest wife

Amber added two pieces of charcoal to the brazier and said with a smile: Of course I said this in front of the eldest lady. At that time, Sister Coral was waiting on the side.

Unexpectedly, Shi Niang actually started to lower her head to flatter the eldest lady. However, she was wondering if it would be too late.

Eleven Niang thought about it, and Hu Hue added: Speaking of which, the eldest lady's place is really lively these days. The fifth lady stays with the eldest lady from morning to night, and the tenth lady goes to join in the fun from time to time, which is the twelfth lady.

, and walked more frequently than usual. After settling down in the morning and evening, he often talked with the two sisters, making the eldest wife laugh from ear to ear.

Eleven Niang was stunned, then smiled bitterly.

Is it still a delicious steamed bun like this?

Hu Hu carefully looked at Eleven Niang's expression, but she didn't stop talking: It's getting late now. I'm going to see if Qiu Ju's food has been brought back. No lady has worked so hard, so she has to get something delicious.

.I will go to Liu’s sister-in-law’s place in the afternoon to see when they will make Miss Ten’s clothes so that we can be prepared.

Eleven Niang laughed: Yes, we should be well prepared.

Amber's eyes lit up as she listened, shining like stars on a summer night: Miss, then I'll go get ready.

Eleven Niang nodded.

Amber walked out lightly, and Zhu Xiang came.

She bent her knees and said: Miss, the fifth aunt is here.

Eleven Niang was very surprised.

I think back then, not long after she woke up, one night she was suddenly awakened by a cry. When she opened her eyes, she saw a stunning woman in a white dress sitting in front of her bed, wiping her tears. She was stunned at that time.

She thought she had encountered something incredible again, and was too frightened to move. After hearing the conversation between Dongqing and her, she realized that this woman turned out to be her biological mother, Lu.

Seeing that she only dared to show concern for her daughter secretly, Eleven Niang immediately felt pity for this poor woman who I felt pity for.

Later, she saw Wu Yiniang cut her gold jewelry into small pieces and gave it to Dongqing, and asked Dongqing to buy her precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and bird's nest to replenish her body. She was even more moved.

Therefore, after she understood her situation and the character of the eldest wife, she kept a certain distance from Fifth Yiniang.

She didn't want to offend the eldest lady and involve this cowardly woman. As for the fifth aunt, since she felt the eleventh mother's alienation from her, although she looked gloomy, she still cooperated with her without any complaints.

There is nothing wrong with my decision, I will never visit Eleven Niang.

There must be something wrong with her coming here

Please come in quickly. Although Eleven Niang was very anxious, she didn't show any signs of it on her face and asked Zhu Xiang with a smile.

Zhu Xiang hurriedly invited Wu Yiniang in.

Dongqing stepped forward to salute her. She nodded absentmindedly and asked Eleven Niang: How long will it take for you to embroider this screen?

Seeing her worried look, Eleven Niang was startled and said: What kind of embroidery work does my aunt want me to help with?

No, it’s not that Wu Niang hurriedly denied it and then looked like she was hesitant to speak.

Eleven Niang winked at Dongqing.

Dongqing smiled and retreated with Zhuxiang: I'm going to make a cup of tea for my aunt.

Fifth Yiniang nodded casually and saw the two of them retreating. Before Eleven Niang could speak, she said: You are too honest and you always suffer.

Eleven Niang was a little confused after hearing this.

You are embroidering this screen at home every day, but Miss Fifth and Miss Ten are accompanying the eldest wife. You must be more thoughtful.

When it comes to mind, I'm afraid there are few people in this house who are duller than Wu Yiniang.

Eleven Niang couldn't help laughing.

Unexpectedly, even Wu Yiniang, who has always been indifferent to worldly affairs, knew that Wu Niang and Shi Niang were very popular with the eldest lady during this period, and she became anxious for herself.

Wu Yiniang looked at her and smiled, and said angrily: "Don't always turn a deaf ear to my words. I am doing this all for your own good." As she said that, her eyes turned red. After all, it was all my fault. For such a smart person like you,

But he was propped up in my belly

This is not something you can choose

Eleven Niang hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe Wu Yi Niang's tears, and comforted her: Look at what my aunt said. If I hadn't been in your belly, I wouldn't have had a good life like today. Don't cry. I'll do whatever you said.

I know. Speaking of which, embroidering screens is also an act of filial piety. The eldest lady is a sensible person and will definitely know my painstaking efforts.

Wu Yiniang felt much better after hearing this. She said, "Yes, the eldest wife's heart is like a mirror. She always knows what is good, what is bad, what is wrong, and what is right."

The biological mother always spoke highly of her aunt, and Eleven Niang had long been used to it. She comforted Fifth Yiniang a few words, and drank the hot tea on the holly. Fifth Yiniang felt much better and stood up to leave.

Eleven Niang personally escorted Fifth Yiniang out of Luyun Tower. When she looked up, she saw Bin Ju and Qiu Ju standing in an octagonal pavilion with twelve steps outside Luyun Tower. They were talking about something. Qiu Ju looked a little disdainful.

His expression was very serious.

Didn’t Amber say that he was going to urge Qiu Ju to pick up the food? Why is Qiu Ju here talking to Bin Ju?

She couldn't help but look up at the sky.

Big dark clouds floated in the sky like broken catkins, making the light a bit dark, making it difficult to tell what time it was.

The two of them also saw Eleven Niang and came hand in hand to salute Fifth Yi Niang.

Wu Yiniang chatted with the two of them for a few words and then was supported by the little maid back. Qiu Ju also left Bin Ju: I'm going to pick up the food box.

Bin Ju winked at Eleven Niang and said to Qiu Ju: Go quickly

Qiu Ju left in response, and Bin Ju helped Eleven Niang to go to Luyun Tower.

Didn't Amber tell Qiu Ju to pick up the food?

I gave the order. Bin Ju said, "We just met me and chatted for a while."

Listening to the frankness of her answer, Eleven Niang couldn't help but nodded slightly.

Binju has a cheerful personality, is considerate, generous, and aboveboard. The longer you get along with her, the more you will like her.

Miss, I have something to tell you.

Her eyes sparkled with joy, which made Eleven Niang feel happy in her heart. She couldn't help but whispered: Is it my aunt?

Binju nodded.

The two of them left Luyun Tower again and stood in the pavilion where Bin Ju and Qiu Ju were talking just now. The view is wide and anyone coming can be seen at a glance and no eavesdropping is allowed.

Qiu Ju went back and asked her mother. Bin Ju said sternly, her mother said that her aunt was born in the family, but her parents died young and she lived on an uncle. Later, her uncle married her aunt and couldn't tolerate it anymore, so she tried every means to join the family.

Because she was beautiful and had a gentle temperament, she was placed in the eldest master's house by the late old lady. Everyone in the family liked her very much. But the second aunt was the daughter of the great flood back then.

She came to us when she was running away from home. She sold herself as a slave and entered the mansion. She first swept the floor in the outer courtyard, and somehow she hooked up with Niu Anli, the nephew of the former chief manager who was in charge of the accounting room.

As the chief manager, she was transferred from the outer courtyard to the greenhouse in the inner courtyard, specifically in charge of the flowers in the greenhouse. A few days later, she took the opportunity to send flowers to the old lady and won the old lady's favor, so she was transferred to the big lady's room.

The two of them stayed in the eldest master's house for five or six years, rising from third-class maids to first-class maids. After the eldest wife came in, she took the decision to take them into the room.

Niu Anli was Xu Xiaoquan's predecessor. After Xu Xiaoquan became the general manager, he asked to be released and the family moved to Yangzhou. However, although Niu Anli had been away from the Luo family for more than ten years, the female servants of the Luo family occasionally mentioned him with affection.

.It can be seen that he has a good relationship with the Luo family.

Eleven Niang frowned slightly as she listened.

From this point of view, the eldest aunt is somewhat honest, while the second aunt is somewhat scheming. No matter what kind of person they are, there is never a shortage of such people in Luofu.

Quite normal

Miss, there is one more thing. Bin Ju's voice was very low. Qiu Ju said that when her mother talked about the second aunt, she was very contemptuous.

Eleven Niang perked up after hearing this: Do you know why you despise her?

Said that the second aunt was a vixen and killed the nephew of Mr. Niu

Eleven Niang looked at Bin Ju in surprise.

Manager Niu's nephew has been waiting for the second aunt to be released. As a result, the second aunt was taken over by the big boss. In anger, Manager Niu's nephew jumped into Jing Qiuju's mother and said that if Manager Niu left, he would also be with her.

This matter has something to do with it
