Chapter 21 Plan

What's the point of being kind? Madam smiled bitterly. After all, it wasn't her own fault.

Xu's mother hesitated to speak, and finally made no sound.

The two were silent for a long time, and the eldest lady sighed and cheered up: Okay, maybe we made a false alarm. Let's wait until Yanjing. By the way, Wu Xiaoquan has already prepared what I asked Wu Xiaoquan to prepare.

Mother Xu hesitated for a moment and said: A total of ninety-six thousand four hundred taels of silver.

The eldest lady's face changed slightly.

Mother Xu said anxiously: I went to see the account books. When the master left, he took 50,000 taels of silver by his side.

Before she could finish her words, there was a clang, and the cloisonné enamel Three Gentlemen's tea cup originally held in the eldest lady's hand was smashed to pieces.

For a moment, there was silence inside and outside the main room of Zhiyun Hall.

The corners of Xu's mother's eyes were slightly red, and she quickly raised the curtain and told the people outside: "It's okay, the eldest lady accidentally dropped a tea cup. Come and clean it up."

Tortoiseshell came in, wrapped his hands in a handkerchief, picked up all the fragments on the ground in a small box, and then quietly retreated.

During this period, the main room of Zhiyun Hall was completely silent.

Hey, the eldest lady sighed softly, my temper is getting worse and worse.

The Clay Bodhisattva still has three parts of earth nature. Mother Xu said with a smile, not to mention that this time the elder has gone too far.

The eldest lady stared straight at the tea stains still left at her feet: I have been married for so many years, and he doesn’t care about anything. He can spend as much as I earn. I won’t say that, the purpose of making money is to spend it.

Yes. But he was keeping a prostitute outside, and he thought I was verbose. He also said that if I hadn't been separated from Geng for three years, he wouldn't have been able to tolerate me long ago.

Madam, Mother Xu interrupted her complaint quickly. In the quarrel between husband and wife, just leave out any hurtful words. Why should you take the eldest man’s angry words to heart?

How could I not take it to heart? Although the eldest lady’s voice was low, her expression was excited. If he wanted to teach me a lesson for my poor parenting or lax management of the family, I would have nothing to say. But look, he did

What are the things that happened? I actually fell in love with my daughter-in-law's personal maid, or it was a double filial piety for the country and the family. If I agreed, where would my son-in-law's face be with my in-laws, and how could I have the dignity to see them? He actually beat me up.

How is this idea still a person?

Mother Xu couldn't help but shed tears from the corners of her eyes.

Why doesn't she feel sorry for the eldest lady? But at this time, even if she has millions of complaints, she can't reveal even a little bit in front of the eldest lady, so as not to add fuel to the fire.

You and the eldest man have been married for so many years, but you still don’t know the eldest man’s temperament. Xu’s mother advised him that the eldest man is a compassionate person. He just had a few quarrels with the sisters in the house and went to the small garden in the outer courtyard.

Everyone could see that the little hoof was uneasy and well-intentioned. Even the big breasts knew it, and they were so swollen that they sent the little hoof back to their parents' home that night. Madam, who is who and who is wrong, everyone can tell at a glance

Can understand

Mrs. Pei's eyes were so sharp that flies and mosquitoes didn't stare at the seamless eggs. The little hooves were crying there. Why didn't I see the uncle go there to persuade me? Why didn't I see the third master go there to persuade me? But he just went.

Mother Xu was about to say something more, but the eldest lady waved her hand: You don’t have to say it anymore. I understand in my heart. In terms of talent and learning, he was a Shujishi who was awarded the second place in the 39th year of Jianwu.

Youke, you see, he has stayed in Fujian for nine years. Why can't he be promoted despite the old man's previous official status? It's because he has misbehaved and has been impeached by the censor many times. The eldest lady took Xu's hand and said,

Tears welled up. If he was a good guy, I would have asked him to take you in. You wouldn't have married Xu Decheng and ended up as a young widow. Why are our lives so miserable?

Mother Xu thought of her husband who died after falling off a horse just three months after they got married. She couldn't help it any longer, covered her mouth and started to cry softly.

After the two of them cried, they both felt much calmer. Mother Xu personally fetched water to help the wife redress, and brought hot tea to the eldest wife. She talked about something she had been worried about: You leave the house to the fourth master,

Mother Yao is in charge of the inner courtyard, and Wu Xiaoquan is in charge of the outer courtyard. We have been there for more than half a year, and I am afraid that

The eldest lady smiled coldly: I just gave them a chance to see what they can do.

Xu’s mother’s eyebrows twitched: What do you mean?

The fourth child is sixteen years old this year, and it’s time for him to help with the family affairs. Otherwise, he would think that he is really capable. As for Mrs. Yao, she smiled coldly, and if I give her three points, she will dare to do it.

Fang, how dare you stand in front of me. Okay, I'll leave all the affairs of the inner courtyard to her. I want to see the silent Yang family and the Shi Niang who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth.

What ability can she have to deal with them for me? As for the eldest wife Wu Xiaoquan, her eyes and eyebrows are full of dissatisfaction. I promoted him to be the chief steward. He is better. He will give as much as the eldest master wants. Compared with Niu Anli's

At this time, she still had to say it conveniently. She glanced at Xu's mother pointedly, "I have the majority of the family in my hands. Even if they are all defeated, it will not hurt the foundation. It is also a good reminder for the elder to let him know."

, who supports this family?

The eldest lady had such a wonderful idea that her mother couldn't help but smile. She really killed three birds with one stone.

As soon as she finished speaking, a little maid outside tremblingly reported: Madam, Miss Eleven is here.

The two were slightly startled.

What is she doing here? The eldest lady frowned. Could it be that she is here to complain?

Probably not. Mother Xu smiled and said, otherwise, let her come in and talk about it.

The eldest lady nodded and showed her peaceful and friendly smile again.

Mother Xu asked the little maid to bring Eleven Niang in.

Eleven Niang paid greetings to the eldest lady.

The eldest lady asked someone to sit down and asked her: "But there is something I forgot to buy?"

No. Eleven Niang smiled, and my mother helped me look at the things in the house, and my heart dropped. I was thinking about putting away the boxes and cages, so as not to delay everyone's schedule because of my slowness. So I came here specially.

Please tell me, mother, how many people should I take with me in the house?

The eldest lady smiled and asked her: What do you want to take with you?

The daughter just didn’t have an idea, so she wanted to ask her mother for advice. Eleven Niang smiled brightly, although I lived with my father in Fujian for a while, but I was young at that time and couldn’t remember many things. This time not only did I go out

I don’t know what to do if I want to go far away or to Yanjing. Naturally, I hope that everyone around me will go. But I also thought, if everyone is like me and wants everyone around me to go, how many cars and boats will it take?

The eldest lady smiled and nodded: You and Wu Niang each bring two eldest maids, two little maids, and two rough ladies.

Eleven Niang was very disappointed when she heard this, but she responded to the eldest lady's words with a smile: Amber was originally serving her mother, so she is naturally more visionary than Dongqing and the others. She is going to Dongqing, who is the oldest and has her own opinion when it comes to things, and so does she.

If you want to go, let Binju look after the house. She is gentle and attentive. For more than half a year after we went there, all the bottles and jars in the house had to be taken care of.

After saying this, the eldest lady laughed: This child is really thoughtful.

Who said it wasn’t Mother Xu who was flattering her, who was strong and who was weak, who could do what, it was clear

Eleven Niang was a little embarrassed by the praise, she lowered her head slightly, stood up and said goodbye: Then I will go back and pack the boxes.

The eldest lady nodded and said with a smile: Go ahead

Eleven Niang bowed her knees and retreated.

Hu Hu, who was outside, followed Eleven Niang back to Luyun Tower without saying a word.

Regardless of whether Miss Eleven begged or not, the whole thing happened because of herself. If she hadn't been suddenly pulled into Miss Eleven's room, why would she have been in trouble?

But she also has her own grievances, which she can't decide.

Bin Ju knew that she was being left behind, but she wasn't displeased at all. She just smiled and said: "Miss, don't forget to bring me Yanjing's bowl of pea yellow and that donkey roll when you come back."

Dongqing was afraid that the atmosphere would be bad, so she laughed and joked: The good thing about donkey rolling is the noodle cakes we have here.

How does my sister know when she has been to Yanjing or stolen the young lady’s book?

Everyone doesn't sound serious to you. Dongqing pretended to be angry and said, I heard from Miss Qi that she grew up in Yanjing since she was a child.

Bin Ju asked Eleven Niang: Miss, you can see Miss Seven when you go to Yanjing this time.

It should be okay. They have been together for more than three years. Now they are separated, and they may never come back. No one can bear to part with them. They are just holding back the jokes. Naturally, Eleven Niang will not ruin the atmosphere and joke with them.

Laugh, you can also meet the fifth and sixth masters in the third master’s family.

The eldest brother, Luo Zhenxing, won the national examination at a young age, which was a shock to the rest of the Luo family. The third wife was no exception, and was very strict with her two sons. During her return to her hometown to observe filial piety, her father even asked her father to specially invite him from Yanjing.

A wife taught her two sons to read. But after all, the two children were still young and often naughty. They often sneaked into the back garden to pick flowers and catch birds. After going back and forth, they got to know Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang neither nags them like their mother, nor does she fuss about their behavior like the maid mother around her. Sometimes she hides in her room to play, and Eleven Niang will also have someone make sour plum soup or cakes.

He served them with cakes, and then sent someone to call the maid mother next to them, instead of sending anyone to tell the third wife. Therefore, the two of them were very close to the maid mother-in-law in the eleventh mother's house.

Everyone laughed when Eleven Niang mentioned Luo Zhenkai and Luo Zhenyu.

Miss, why don't you bring some of our homemade rose jam so that you can make soft cakes for Mr. Liu?

Bin Ju had a good idea. Eleven Niang said with a smile that she would also like to bring some green plum wine. The third wife once said it tastes good.

Miss, don’t forget about the uncle and the big breasts, as well as the third master, the third young lady and the seventh lady on the second wife’s side.

Okay. Eleven Niang is looking very excited. Let’s sum it up and see what we need to bring to Yanjing. It doesn’t have to be many or expensive. The eldest wife must have prepared it in advance, but we can’t leave empty-handed.

Everyone nodded and came up with ideas.

For a while, I was full of laughter and forgot the sadness of parting for the time being.

Finally I can add more updates
Chapter completed!
