Tao Cheng went to Yanjing to see his mother. When he returned at night, the carriage overturned and fell into a ditch. He is still unconscious. Tao's mother hurried back to the farm, even Xinglong, Mrs. Shiyiniang and others

The reward was what Lu Yonggui continued to help Tao's mother deliver to the farm.

Tao's mother had not been in charge for several years. Her departure only caused a headache for the maids and women in Yuanniang's former residence. First, Shiyi Niang sent Zhuxiang to take over the property of Yuanniang's former residence.

The furnishings in the house were put into the warehouse, and it was very busy for a while. As soon as it stopped, Mama Wang, who used to be the second-class steward in the warehouse under Yu's mother, was sent over to take care of things here. Everyone drew closer and shouted,

It was all about connections. I was afraid that my job would be lost, so I was in chaos for a while. After settling down, news came from the outer courtyard that the second young master Xu Siyu had passed the government examination. Several young people who were familiar with Aunt Qin had to go.

Congratulations.

Aunt Qin managed to cope with it, and finally sent these people away, and said to Aunt Yi who stayed behind: "Mother Tao is gone, these people are no longer as stubborn as before, and they actually come to me to ask for rewards. If it had been in the past,

He never glanced at our mother and son from the corner of his eye. This also corresponds to the old saying that it has been Hedong for thirty years and Hexi for forty years.

Aunt Yi held the tea cup and said with a smile: "There are many icings on the cake in this world, but few who provide help in times of need. It's been so many years, and you haven't looked away yet. Then talking about Xu Siyu, I heard that he will return to Le'an in two days, why?"

The Diyuan gave it a try in no time. The second young master is not young anymore. If he has the reputation of being a scholar, it would be more convenient for him to propose marriage.

There are so many talented people in the world, what's so rare? Thinking that since her son went to study in Le'an, she and she have become farther and farther apart, Aunt Qin doesn't like this topic very much.

Aunt Yi also knew what she was thinking, so she changed the subject with a smile and talked about Mrs. Tai's birthday: It should be held in a big way this time, right? The Fourth Mrs. is pregnant.

She said she would only invite a few good friends that day. Aunt Qin shook her head. Madam had been feeling uncomfortable since the birth of the child. Madam Tai had not planned a birthday originally, but the Marquis called the Fifth Master to discuss the arrangements.

Aunt Yi let out a sigh and said, "Counting the days, it's been four months. Why am I still not feeling well? Is it really uncomfortable or just fake?" I watched Mother Tao go, but Mr. Hou didn't say anything. Mostly out of consideration.

She must be pregnant with an heir

Who knows whether she is really uncomfortable or fake. Aunt Qin said with a smile, as long as she is uncomfortable for a day, the Marquis or the Dowager will worship her like a Bodhisattva. If I were her, I would just hope

It would be better to walk more slowly in this day. At the end of the sentence, there was a bit of ridicule in his tone. Otherwise, if she was a girl, the Madam and the Marquis would not have such a good face.

Aunt Yi laughed when she heard this: It's just that we, Aunt Yang, took pity on her. She wanted to make a little coat for Madam to play with, but she was so busy working day and night that she almost went blind.

Mother Yang advised Mr. Yang: You should take a rest for a while.

Mrs. Yang looked at the 20 or so children who had embroidered various shapes, and was a little frustrated: she didn't expect it to take such a long time. She took the cassia seed, chrysanthemum and mulberry leaf drink from Yang's mother's hand and took a few sips with her brows furrowed.

How about we embroider ten kinds of brocade instead? Mother Yang helped Yang sort out the messy embroidery threads and whispered in a low voice. Add some Ruicao pens and inkstones to make a quilt for children.

Yang was a little moved.

The Fourth Madam has been pregnant for more than four months, and she should feel better by June at most. Mother Yang continued to persuade Mr. Yang, and by then, the Marquis should also breathe a sigh of relief. You don’t want to talk to Madam at this time.

As mentioned above. When the child is born, if it is a son, it is okay to say, but if it is a daughter, the fourth lady will only arrange for a common room and not a concubine to sleep with. Besides, we only say to people outside that we are making some small things for the madam.

, it does not say that it is a small coat embroidered with hundreds of children playing. This is not considered opportunistic.

Yang thought for a moment and then made a decision: Just as her mother said, the most important thing now is to talk to Madam.

Yang's mother hurriedly brought clear paper over, and Yang began to draw the pattern again.

Aunt Wen, however, was overjoyed with the pair of bellybands she had embroidered, which would last every year. She said to Qiu Hong: If you continue like this, when the eldest daughter gets married next year, I will be able to embroider two sets of children's clothes.

Clothes bar

Qiu Hong covered her mouth and smiled.

Aunt Wen ignored her and happily asked Donghong to put away her things, and took out the bellyband pattern that Qiu Binju had drawn a few days ago, which made Qiuhong stand up so that she could follow the embroidery pattern.

Wanyizong's eldest son and younger daughter were both working in the mansion. Wanting to have someone to take care of their son and daughter, Wanyizong's family asked Bin Ju to take her grandson to rent a house next to the Yongping Marquis Mansion.

She has parents-in-law, uncles and aunts, and a son as her first child. Everyone thinks she is blessed. Everyone likes to ask her to help with weddings and funerals. She has a cheerful temperament and good hands.

Coincidentally, gradually, the eldest maids and young daughters-in-law of the Yongping Marquis Mansion all liked to ask her to draw patterns and give instructions on needlework. She took the opportunity to get some work from Xipu and gave it to these little maids to do.

They earned some snack money, and gradually she gained some reputation among the maids of the Yongping Marquis Mansion.

Aunt Wen wanted to learn needlework, so Qiu Hong thought of her first and asked her to draw flowers.

She responded with a smile, sat on the small table next to Aunt Wen, and while sewing in front of the patterns on the clear paper, she whispered: Auntie, when I went to Sister Binju's place, I met Amber.

Sister and Sister Zhuxiang. The three of them were locked in the room and talking quietly.

Qiu Hong would not say this without reason.

Aunt Wen tilted her body: she heard what was said

Qiu Hong also came over: from the accent, Mrs. Du wanted to propose marriage to Hu Bo, so Madam asked Wan Daxian to inquire about it, but Hu Bo disagreed. Bin Ju and Zhu Xiang tried to persuade Hu Bo's sister.

This is all nonsense. Aunt Wen listened and smiled and said, please explain clearly. Which boy did Mama Du tell Hu Bo about? Why did Hu Bo disagree?

I don’t know why I don’t agree. Qiu Hong pouted, only vaguely listening to the mention of Manager Bai, who seemed to be someone from Manager Bai.

Aunt Wen's mind started spinning rapidly.

Speaking of which, Qiu Hong is no longer young, but because she watched Qiu Hong grow up, she always felt that this was not good and that she was not satisfied with that. She was afraid that Qiu Hong would be wronged, so she stayed here today.

Mother Du came forward to have something to do with Manager Bai, and she was talking about the maids around Eleven Niang. No matter how bad they are, they are still a hundred times better than ordinary servants. Bin Ju and Zhu Xiang persuaded Amber, and it probably had nothing to do with their character, but they were afraid of being with Bai.

The manager's connections make people fear him.

She thought for a moment, then took off her shoes and said, "Let Donghong follow me. I'm going to sit with Madam."

Qiu Hong hurriedly knelt down to put on Aunt Wen's shoes and said: It's only been three minutes since the end of the day.

Aunt Wen didn't say anything and took Donghong to Eleven Niang's place.

Eleven Niang just woke up from her nap and is in good spirits.

Xu Sizhen and Xu Sijie were talking around her.

The second brother passed the college entrance examination, and the eldest brother said he would go hiking to celebrate. Most likely my father would not agree with me and the fifth brother to go with us. Even if we did, they would have long legs and feet and enjoy themselves, but we would be left alone again.

.Xu Sizhen pulled Eleven Niang’s sleeves, half coquettishly and half pleading, Mom, tell daddy, it’s too dangerous to go hiking, so we’ll have a barbecue in the backyard at home.

Xu Sijie also nodded: Mom, let’s have barbecue.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but laugh.

Do you want to go out to play, or do you want to play with the eldest brother and the second brother?

Xu Sizhen blushed: We also want to go out and play.

Then go to the Xishan Courtyard. Eleven Niang said with a smile, Brother and the others are going to climb the mountain, and you can stay in the Courtyard to have barbecue.

Xu Sichen cheered.

Eleven Niang couldn't stop laughing: Go to school quickly, be careful if you are late, Mr. Zhao will make you stand.

The two little guys said hello to Aunt Wen and followed Nan Yong's wife to Shuangfuyuan with a smile.

Eleven Niang asked the little maid to bring Aunt Wen a brocade and sit on it.

As usual, Aunt Wen told a few jokes to make Eleven Niang happy, and then she said what she was thinking: Please find a good family. It doesn't matter how good his background is, just that he can live an honest life.

Eleven Niang was a little surprised. She thought of what Mama Du told her a few days ago: There is a steward under Mr. Bai who is just twenty this year. He is good-looking and very smart. Mr. Bai appreciates it very much and asked me to help him arrange a marriage.

.You also know that Madam Tai has been idle for some days. As I get older, the little maids in the house no longer recognize me. After thinking about it, I came to beg Madam. While speaking, my eyes kept glancing at Liu Pai.

She somewhat understood what Mama Du meant, but she didn't give Mama Du a clear answer. Instead, she asked Amber what she meant in private.

Amber blushed, suppressing her shame and said: "The husband and wife cannot be stewards in the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard at the same time. I want to stay with my wife."

On the contrary, Eleven Niang was a little hesitant: I asked Wan Daxian to help me find out. If the person is really good, don't refuse him outright.

Unexpectedly, there was still no confirmation on this matter, so Aunt Wen begged to come to her door.

She looked at Aunt Wen and smiled slightly.

Aunt Wen didn't hide anything, and said calmly: "I've also heard some news. If Madam feels that Amber is not suitable, it's the same with our Qiu Hong. Mother Du, or Manager Bai, just want to get closer to Madam."

.

What she said makes sense.

But the problem is that marrying Qiu Hong must be approved by Mama Du and Manager Bai.

Don't be impatient. Eleven Niang said with a smile, speaking of which, in addition to the amber red embroidery next to me and the Qiuhong embroidery next to you, the embroidered citrons next to Aunt Qiao are all of the same age in our yard.
