Chapter 397: Keeping the System
At the end of August, there was news from Manager Bai.
Since the Yang family sent their daughter to Jianninghou Mansion, they have built five brick houses, added fifty acres of land, bought a maid, and hired two farm workers. Their only son has also been sent to private school to study.
.Yang's father also served as the security chief two years ago, and the family's life was prosperous.
Eleven Niang nodded and asked Hu Bo to talk to Yang.
Yang kowtowed to the eleventh mother to express her gratitude, and a few days later she made an eight-piece Hunan skirt with a green white background and embroidered with white plum blossoms for the eleventh mother: Madam, please understand my gratitude.
Her face was pale and she looked tired, and she looked like she had stayed up all night.
Eleven Niang smiled and asked Amber to accept it.
Aunt Wen smiled and said nothing.
A few days later, Yang sent two more pairs of shoes and two sweat towels.
Eleven Niang still accepted it with a smile. Although she didn't see Eleven Niang using it, Yang gradually started talking to Eleven Niang.
The chrysanthemums, green peonies and jade pots with ten feet of hanging curtains in the greenhouse are in full bloom in spring. When I went to greet Eleven Niang in the morning, I saw green clouds playing with the bright yellow laurels on the window sill of Eleven Niang's inner room. She would carefully
To test, madam, would you like me to go to the greenhouse and help you move a few pots to place on the windowsill?
Eleven Niang responded to her with a smile: the chrysanthemums withered too quickly.
After hearing this, Mrs. Yang concentrated on her needlework. When Bin Ju's eldest son was baptized, four sets of children's clothes were given to him: they were not as good as the fine craftsmanship of Wan Daxian's family, but they could still be worn.
Eleven Niang smiled and asked Hu Bo to pass the red silver necklace and bracelet she had beaten for the child to Bin Ju together with the small clothes made by Yang.
Yang showed the pattern she had drawn to Eleven Niang: I don’t know if it will be used in the wedding shop.
When you open your business, you will meet all kinds of customers. Eleven Niang accepted it with a smile and passed it to Master Jian. Master Jian asked the embroiderers to embroider a few sets, and the sales were very good. Master Jian gave her five taels of silver.
Feng Hong asked Eleven Niang to hand it over to Yang: This was given by Master Jian. If the embroidery girl in the shop sells the pattern she came up with, she can get such a bonus.
Yang was very surprised. She smiled and thanked her again and again. As if she was suddenly addicted, she actually concentrated on her desk and designed seven or eight patterns for Xipu. Eleven Niang still passed them to Master Jian, and Master Jian used two
, others called back: Although they look good, they are too complicated and require a lot of effort to embroider, and people who buy them may find them expensive. After hearing this, Yang began to design some simple ones, which invisibly reduced the pressure on Master Jian. Xipu
As a result, the variety of flowers and colors has become more abundant. This is something that Eleven Niang did not expect at first. Because of this reason, Yang and Eleven Niang not only talked and laughed, but also often hung out in Eleven Niang's house.
Helping with small things from time to time, in the eyes of others, Yang and Eleven Niang have become closer now that the Queen Mother is gone.
Qiu Hong looked a little worried.
Auntie, she took advantage of Auntie Wen, who was helping Sister Zhen to count the dowry utensils, and said it when she was in a good mood. You are the best at doing business. You see, do you want to help Madam with some ideas for her wedding?
No need. Aunt Wen looked at the newly delivered peony pastel porcelain and nodded with satisfaction. Let’s just finish the eldest lady’s affairs.
Seeing Aunt Wen's disapproving look, Qiu Hong reminded her: "But you see, Aunt Yang, you should at least walk around in front of Madam more often."
Aunt Wen smiled strangely after hearing this: I think it’s better to forget it.
Qiu Hong wonders why. Didn’t you often walk around in front of Madam in the past?
Aunt Wen waved her hand, signaling Qiu Hong to stop talking, Aunt Qin is here.
Qiu Hong had no choice but to swallow her words and smiled as she helped Aunt Qin serve tea and snacks.
Aunt Qin took out five gold bars from her sleeves and said, "Here, you can exchange the silver for me."
Aunt Wen looked at it for a moment and hesitated: What happened to you these days?
Since this year, she has exchanged twenty gold bars.
In the early years, Xu Siyu was the only son of the Marquis. Not only the wife, but also Yuanniang often received rewards. Aunt Qin kept all the things. Aunt Qin naturally had some private savings in her hands. Even so, she could not withstand it.
This is the way to live. Besides, Aunt Qin spends all her food and drinks in the palace, doesn’t drink or gamble, and doesn’t have any brothers from her mother’s family, so she shouldn’t have any big expenses.
It's Aunt Yi. Aunt Qin's eyes flashed when she heard that. You know that we are better. Some things, no matter how difficult they are, you still have to help.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Aunt Wen didn't hesitate to ask more questions, so she reminded her: It's hard to save money, but it's easy to use it. It's better for Aunt Qin to keep her hands tighter.
Aunt Qin smiled coquettishly and remained silent.
Aunt Wen asked Qiu Hong to take out the coins and weigh the gold, and asked her to collect the silver notes after three days.
Eleven Niang was preparing to go to Ciyuan Temple.
It's the eldest wife's anniversary in two days, and she wants to ask Master Jining to help with the Seven-day Water 6 Dojo, which can be regarded as fulfilling their mother-daughter friendship.
Wu Niang sent her maid Zhuotao over.
The little girl who was as fresh as a willow shoot in March has grown to be as graceful and graceful as a small peach blossom.
She bowed her knees with a smile and saluted Eleven Niang, and said respectfully: Our grandma specially asked me to come and ask Madam about the anniversary celebration of the deceased eldest wife. She also explained that our master is not at home, Brother Xin
My son is young, Sister Ziyuan made a promise a few days ago, and there is no one around to give me advice. I can only ask my wife to give me advice.
Eleven Niang was surprised.
Where has your master gone? Why is he not at home?
Went to Xuantong. Zhuotao said with a smile, saying that he was going to visit a business friend and would not be able to come back until the beginning of winter.
Eleven Niang was stunned. While thinking about Zhuotao's words carefully in her heart, she asked her: Who did Ziyuan promise?
The youngest son of the Peng family who often delivers dry goods to our family, Zhuotao said with a smile, was a serious grandma in the past. The Peng family also has a second-floor courtyard in the city. They are an excellent family.
How could such a good family marry a maid from a small family?
Eleven Niang felt something was wrong in her heart, but she didn't want to ask any more questions, for fear of asking something sad, so she simply suppressed the thought in her heart. Then she asked her: Then aren't you and Sui'er the only ones in the house?
Zhuo Tao nodded: Brother Xin has been coughing again these past two days. Otherwise, our grandma would have come in person, and why would she talk about me talking nonsense in front of my wife?
Hearing that Brother Xin was ill, Eleven Niang asked carefully for a long time and found out that it was just a dry day. She asked Luyun to bring a bottle of Chuanbei Pipa ointment sent from the palace a few days ago to Zhuotao, and then took her
He made a plan: If the fifth sister is willing, we two sisters can go together.
Zhuotao agreed with a smile and returned to Sixiang Hutong with Chuanbei Pipa Cream.
Came again the next day.
Our grandma said that it would be there at that time. Then she said, grandma also said, thank you madam for the medicine. Brother Xin got better after drinking it, which is much better than the medicine used by doctors outside. I asked if there is any more. If so, can I give it to you again?
Give me two bottles. Zhuotao said, his face turned red.
But Eleven Niang can understand Wu Niang’s mood.
When a child is sick, the mother is the most anxious.
She asked Lu Yun to bring the remaining bottle to Zhuotao: It was originally a gift from the palace, and I only got two bottles. Let her use it first. If there is more, I will think of a way.
Zhuotao left with great gratitude.
Eleven Niang sent people to Ciyuan Temple to discuss with Jining about setting up a dojo.
Xu Lingyi came back in the evening and asked her: What did Ciyuan Temple say?
After the death of the Empress Dowager, Xu Lingyi was often summoned by the emperor to the palace to talk. He would go there all afternoon, and sometimes it would be time to light the lamp when he came back. When asked what he said, they all talked about common things.
Everything was arranged. While she was helping Xu Lingyi wash up, she said, "I'll go there early tomorrow morning."
Xu Lingyi nodded, and saw Eleven Niang resting immediately after washing herself, and said with a smile: Why don't you drink that Pipa ointment?
Autumn has just begun, and Shiyiniang's Pipa ointment, pear water, and other things that can clear away heat and relieve fire are all used. At best, it is to prepare for a rainy day, but at worst, it is timid. He thought of Xu Sijie drinking pear water with tears in his eyelashes,
While looking at Eleven Niang pitifully, she wanted to laugh again.
Eleven Niang knew what Xu Lingyi was thinking at a glance.
She was a little angry.
The level of medical conditions in this era is very poor. How can we do it if we are not careful?
Brother Xin is not good, I asked someone to bring Pipa ointment to Wu Niang. Eleven Niang glanced sideways at Xu Lingyi, so today she asked Amber to stew pear water with Sichuan scallops and drink it. She got up and drank the water she hadn't finished.
I handed half the cup to Xu Lingyi and left half the cup for Mr. Hou. Then I sighed with a smile. If Mr. Hou hadn’t reminded me, I would have forgotten about it.
It’s no wonder people say Xu Sijie is Xu Lingyi’s son.
Not only do the two look alike, they even share the same dislike of drinking pear water.
Just because Xu Lingyi is an adult, Eleven Niang has never forced him.
So when Xu Lingyi saw the slightly brown soup in the tea cup, his expression was slightly stunned, and he saw the sly smile flashing through Eleven Niang's eyes. He felt warm in his heart, became playful, and took it calmly.
Tea cup, drank it all in one gulp.
The pear water was cold, and there was nothing left for herself. It was obvious that she had not finished drinking it.
Who stewed the pear water today? He suppressed a smile and said lightly, it tasted pretty good. He asked her to stew another cup for me tomorrow morning. After saying that, he handed the tea cup to Eleven Niang.
With Xu Lingyi's rigorous character, she knew that he would not refuse, but she did not expect that Xu Lingyi would praise the delicious pear water.
She couldn't help but look down at the empty tea cup. Zhu Xiang had always been responsible for these snacks. She didn't feel anything strange when she drank just now. Did she not pay attention? Or maybe the person who had temporarily changed to stewed pear water today was still in it.
what was added
In any case, since Xu Lingyi asked him to cook it tomorrow, he would have someone make him a big stew tomorrow.
After making up her mind, Eleventh Niang put the tea cup and poured some water for Xu Lingyi to rinse her mouth. Xu Lingyi wanted to laugh when she thought about Eleventh Niang's behavior of looking down at the tea cup just now. She thought she was a little childish and couldn't help but hug her.
A feeling of love and affection in my arms.
