Chapter 545 Questioning (1) 545
Brother Jin grinned at the eldest lady, still holding the unfinished wheat cake in his mouth. 365.net
The madam didn't care about this and even kissed him twice on the face.
Sensing his grandmother's affection for him, Brother Jin smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed.
Mrs. Laita coaxed him in a long voice: call me grandma.
Brother Jin shouted "zu" inarticulately.
Mrs. Tai’s eyes were filled with laughter when she heard this. She immediately told Mother Du, “Hey, bring me the red agate beads in my mirror box and give them to the Sixth Young Master. They belonged to Jining, the abbot of Ciyuan Temple, when I was young.”
The master helped me to consecrate and bless it. Let’s bring it with our brother Jin to bless him and keep him safe.
Mother, this is too expensive. Eleven mother said hurriedly, he is still a child. If you want to reward him, it is not too late to reward him when he is older.
Mrs. Tai touched Brother Jin who was sitting in her arms and eating wheat cakes, and said with a smile: There are big rewards, there are small rewards. She didn't take Xu Lingyi's suggestion seriously, and then taught Eleven Niang: She talks about our Brother Jin every day.
The child is not talking. Look, isn't he talking? I told you before, don't be anxious, but you don't listen and urge the child to talk every day. Can this anxious child eat hot tofu? There is a fixed number for everything.
He naturally spoke when he should speak. He also said, as the saying goes, if you don't speak, you will be a blockbuster. Look at our brother Jin, he speaks sentences. There are ordinary children talking, and he can't help but like it in his heart.
, then held Brother Jin’s face and kissed him twice.
Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang had no choice but to laugh at the side. Brother Jin was eating the cake with relish. When the wife interrupted him, he couldn't help but pouted and hummed twice.
The lady hurriedly let go: You eat the cake, you eat the cake, grandma won't bother you. Then she couldn't help but ask, is the cake made from new wheat delicious?
Jin Ji'er nodded repeatedly.
The wife then told the jade tablet: Go and reward the fourth lady with the small half bag of new wheat that the palace blamed.
Jade Edition hurriedly answered the call and left.
The fifth wife also lives at home.
Just as Eleven Niang was about to refuse, Mama Du came in with a smile and a small box carved from purple purlin wood.
The madam hurriedly said: "Give it to me" and then personally took out the beads the size of pigeon eggs.
It's too big to hang on your hand, but it's too small to hang on your neck.
Mrs. Tai looked at it and told Mama Du: "Bring me my engraved chain and give it to the Sixth Young Master to hang up."
Mother Du turned around and got a red gold chain. The chain was as thick as a child's little finger, with exquisitely carved scales. In the dim light in the room, it shimmered like dazzling waves on the surface of a lake blown by the breeze.
Eleven Niang suddenly remembered the chain that tied the dog
She hurriedly said: Mom, how about I set up a way for brother Jin to politely refuse.
The madam took the chain in her hand and thought for a while, then said: It's okay. This chain is carved with huawen, which is a bit prickly. It will not hurt our brother Jin's neck. You can tie him a beautiful tie.
Then hang up this onyx bracelet for him
The Eleventh Mother hurriedly paid her respects, saying,
Mrs. Tai casually put the chain in the rosewood carved box containing the red agate bracelet. Although the chain was not used, it was still rewarded to Brother Jin.
Mom, now even Xu Lingyi feels that the reward is too heavy. Brother Jin is at an active age. Be careful that he loses it.
Nonsense. The wife said, how could the things in the house be lost? Then what do the mother and maids in his house do?
While Mrs. Tai was talking to Xu Lingyi, Brother Jin was already staring straight at the golden chain lying in the rosewood box covered with red velvet.
He dropped the wheat cake in his hand on the kang and grabbed the chain.
The chain slipped through the mouth of the box and into Brother Jin's hand.
There was a soft green sound in the house.
The madam couldn't help but lower her head.
Brother Jin was already pulling hard on the gold chain.
The lady burst out laughing: This is ridiculous, this is ridiculous
Brother Jin looked up at Mrs. Jin as he listened, his eyes twinkling very cutely.
The madam asked the jade plate to twist the veil, and while wiping brother Jin's hands, she smiled and said: "Be careful, if it breaks, our brother Jin won't have to wear it anymore."
However, Brother Jin struggled to stand up from Mrs. Tai's arms and put the gold chain around Mrs. Tai's neck.
The madam was stunned, and a smile immediately spread from her eyes to her face.
Ouch, my brother Jin. The old man has a grandson, so he wants to wear it for his grandmother.
Brother Jin looked at Mrs. Tai with a playful smile.
Seeing that there is no concubine looking back at Xu Lingyi, our brother Jin is not the kind of child who doesn't know what the world is like once he is pampered. What do you have to worry about? Okay, don't talk about this anymore. Mother Du, give me your things
Sixth Young Master, put it away
Xu Lingyi could only lower his head, while Eleven Niang could only smile bitterly.
The fifth lady brought Sister Xin and Brother Shen over to say hello and she saw the box placed on the Kang table.
As soon as she turned her eyes, she pulled the sleeves of the Tai Madam and withdrew her love: "What good things have you given to Brother Jin? We, Brother Shen, want it too."
You Pi Shaoji. Madam Tai smiled and pinched Madam Fifth’s ears. Don’t worry. When Brother Shen opens his mouth, he will be there too.
Brother Jin spoke. The fifth lady was full of surprise. Congratulations to the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law. Then she looked at Brother Jin with a smile. Brother Jin, do you know who I am? I am your fifth aunt.
Eleven Niang told Brother Jin: Call me Aunt Five.
Fifth Aunt Jin Geer’s voice is clear and loud.
The fifth lady was amazed after hearing this: This child is really angry.
It's not like Mrs. Yourong Yan. I remember that when the fourth child was young, he was not as tall as Brother Jin.
That is, the fifth lady of Luo, who is more powerful than the previous generation, looked at Xu Lingyi and smiled with her sleeves covered.
Everyone laughed. The scene was very lively. It wasn't until General Manager Bai asked Xu Lingyi to go to the outer courtyard that everyone dispersed.
Mother Shi reminded the fifth lady in a low voice: Your words came too quickly. Asking for something in front of the fourth lady like this, what does the fourth lady think?
The fifth wife disagreed: The fourth sister-in-law is an honest person. If I tell her clearly in this way, she will not be able to get angry with me. I don’t want to hide it and then feel uncomfortable alone at home. I said, laughing
stand up.
Mother Shi saw that what she said made sense. She nodded slightly, said nothing more, and asked the maid to help the fifth lady change her clothes.
Autumn rain comes and brings fresh wheat.
The palace rewarded the wife with a bag, and our wife got a little. These were asked to be brought over by me, which was ambiguous. But she couldn't hide it from the fifth lady. After Shi's mother thanked her, gave her a reward, and sent Qiu Yu out.
She curled her lips and said: If the lady rewards her, she will be given a jade plate to prove that she will be a good person. As she said this, the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up, and she told Mother Shi to find the lotus leaves that were dried last summer and soak them.
Put them in a steamer to make lotus leaf wheat cakes, and send some to the Tai Madam and the Fourth Madam.
Mother Shi kept saying that she must have gone down to make lotus leaf wheat cakes.
Eleven Niang also made lotus leaf wheat cakes. In addition to sending some to Mrs. Tai, she also sent some to Gongxian Hutong and Sanjing Hutong. Several children also ate them with gusto. Xu Sijie even said: Mother, this year
I'll help you dry lotus leaves in summer
Xu Siyu came up with an idea: It would be delicious if you add some elm money in it.
Okay. Eleven Niang nodded with a smile, and drew the colorful bat strips on Brother Jin's chest twice, saying that we should all save some for the time, and make some lotus leaf wheat cakes and Yuqian'er wheat cakes.
Xu Sizhen couldn't get a word in, so he asked Eleven Niang: What is mother doing? Why is she giving Mouluozi to her sixth brother?
For aesthetic reasons, Eleven Niang decided to add a small waistcoat to Brother Jin's brocade robe, and then hung the red agate bracelet on the left lapel.
She asked Xu Sizhen if it was good to watch.
Emerald green waistcoat, white jade buttons, red agate, and colorful ribs. Xu Sizhen nodded repeatedly: It looks good.
Even if there are other good jade ornaments, Eleven Niang said with a smile, "How about I give you a tie too?"
Xu Siyu felt that he was already an adult, so naturally he was not in this situation. However, Xu Sizhen knew that Eleven Niang was not in good health. His father did not let his mother do needlework these days. Only Xu Sijie said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, mother, give me an injection too."
During the Chinese New Year, my grandmother gave me an jade medal. I have a ginger waistcoat with that jade medal on it.
If there is anyone Eleven Niang likes the most among these children, it is Xu Sijie. Whatever she says, Xu Sijie can always respond to her and the answer resonates with her. Just like now, he immediately follows Eleven Niang's ideas.
Pair it with more eye-catching clothing.
Eleven Niang smiled and said: You have started to learn painting from Mr. Zhao.
Yes, Xu Sijie smiled and just started to draw the lines.
Then help me draw two pictures of flowers in a few days.
Okay. Xu Sijie was very happy. That kind of happiness came from the bottom of his heart and seemed particularly sincere. If I can’t draw the pattern my mother wants to draw, I’ll ask Mr. Zhao to help me draw it.
That’s no need. Eleven Niang said with a smile, it’s a very simple thing. If you can’t draw it well, I’ll teach you when the time comes.
Xu Sijie immediately agreed and ran to her: Mother, when will you start painting?
Seeing that he was very interested, Eleven Niang thought about it and said: You have a rest the day after tomorrow. Or the day after tomorrow.
Xu Sijie said, "Mr. Zhao has friends who are going to take part in the imperial examination. Mr. Zhao wants to see him off."
Eleven Niang asked Xu Siyu: Do you want to see off the Fang family tomorrow? Will your uncle send you a car?
Xu Siyu thought for a while and said with a smile: Mother will send a car to take me to Sanjing Hutong. My eldest brother and I will go together to see off eldest brother Fang. Brother Fang is no longer as polite as before.
Eleven Niang asked Qiu Yu to take the right cards and make arrangements for the outer courtyard.
Zhuxiang is back.
Everything was sent over. My uncle's aunt said thank you to my aunt for caring about me. She asked me to bring some hand-made sachets for the young men to play with. What about the other side of Mitsui Hutong, but she didn't say anything.
Eleven Niang didn't ask any questions. When Zhu Xiang helped her wash up in the evening, she asked softly: What happened over there in Mitsui Hutong?
