Chapter 10 Reaction (Part 1)
Chapter Ten Response (Part 1)
The next day, lady eleven went to greet the lady a little earlier than usual.
The eldest lady was combing her hair, and she was quite surprised to know that she was here.
"... Only one tie can be played a day." Lady Eleven explained embarrassingly, "Not as fast as Master Jian."
There was a smile in the eldest wife's eyes, and said, "In this case, you won't use it to save me in the morning and twilight. Embroidering the screen well is a filial piety to me."
Lady Eleven thought for a while, and respectfully responded "Yes".
The eldest wife knew that she had something to do and rewarded the bowl of sheep, so she retreated.
It was Luo Qiao who sent her out.
She took the opportunity to invite her and Forsythia.
Luo Qiao was startled slightly, and smiled, "It's not a coincidence. Sister Forsythia is sick, and my wife is the only one with a few little maids to serve...I don't know if I have to be free."
"Just get together," lady eleven smiled, "My sister's errands are important. Everyone lives in the same courtyard, and there will be opportunities in the future."
Luo Qiao also smiled, "It's the same if we go to quarrel with Miss Eleven when we have time."
The two were talking, the older lady in the room asked the little maid beside her, "Is Miss Eleven gone?"
The little maid went out to take a look, then turned back and replied, "No, I'm talking to Sister Luoqiao!"
The lady nodded, and Luo Qiao walked in.
"What did you say to lady eleven?" the lady asked unconsciously.
Luo Qiao's heart tightened, and smiled, "Miss Eleven puts wine in the room at noon to pick up the wind for Amber, please let Forsythia and I go to the fun."
The eldest wife didn't ask any more, and changed the subject "What did Wu Xiaoquan say?"
Luo Qiao said, "General Manager Wu said that at this time, the court heard that the emperor would use troops in northern Xinjiang again after the last year, and the price of gold fell sharply. Therefore, the price will not be lowered. In this way, the difference is between four and five thousand taels. It is really not worthwhile."
The old lady frowned. "You tell him that four or five thousand is four or five thousand. Think of a way to redeem it before mid-February next year."
Luo Qiao left.
Lady Eleven returned to Luyun Tower and asked Bin Ju to post to Jiaoyuan, Shiniang and Lady Eleven. Dong Qing went to Xu Ma's residence.
When Mother Xu is not there, the little maid serving next to her has a perfunctory attitude, "I will say once when my mother comes back."
Dong Qing was just doing his courtesy, and after a few greetings with the little maid, he turned around and went to Wu Xiao's family.
Wu Xiao’s family is having breakfast. I heard that Dong Qing in Miss Eleven’s room is here, and he greeted her with her shoes. "If there’s something for the little maid to say, why should Dong Qing take a trip by herself! Is it breakfast? Come in and add some."
This kind of politeness made Dong Qing startled, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, "Thank you, mother. I've had breakfast." Then he said his intention.
Wu Xiao's family heard that she still had something to do, so they didn't keep her, and they readily responded, "Say to Miss Eleven, you will definitely go!"
Dong Qing went to Yao's mother full of confusion.
Mother Yao stood with her hips akimbo at the gate of the Xikuan Yard, fearing that others would not hear her and shouting, "Please go for a drink? Your eleventh misses are interested, but how can I have that free time! The eldest lady was bad just now. I sent someone to clean up all the warm pavilions in the back garden, and then raise the ground fire, so that it can be used during the New Year." After that, he waved his hand like a mosquito and flies, "I'll talk about it then!"
When Dong Qing came, she was prepared, knowing that she definitely didn't have a good word for herself, but she was working as a errand in a courtyard, and she couldn't hide her head up and down. She just didn't know her malice, accompanied by a smiling face, "At that time, I will have another little maid to invite my mother!"
Reach out and don't hit smiley people.
Yao's mother hesitated to speak but stopped. Then he gave a cold "um", which was regarded as an answer.
But someone next to him smiled and said, "You will be a family in the future, and she will be errands in front of the master. You will give her some face. I will go to have a drink later!"
Dong Qing stiffened.
If such a thing is said, it must be that Yao's mother said something.
She also thought that Yao’s mother had brought up colorful gifts a few days ago and asked “Why is the Xia’s family going?” “The girl who worked in Luo’s family was worthy of my nephew, and I’ll walk around her family.” When I went back, the three aunts and six wives and neighbours who came to the house to eat their sister's wedding wine asked her "when will we get married"...
Thinking of this, Dong Qing was so angry that his chest hurts, and turned to the kitchen.
Mother Cao, who is in charge of the kitchen, saw her and her face was not worried. "The girl should change the menu? Ten taels of silver is more than enough to buy the duck in the soup, but the ginseng, gastrodia, angelica, wolfberry..." , Her eyes flashed with disdain, "What's more, you also ordered stir-fried river fresh, chicken broth, sea mussels, bad whitebait, winter bamboo shoots and magnolia slices... Since the girl is headed by Miss Eleven, she has to think about it. If you know, the girl has a big heart. A little bit, I don’t know, and even said that we are bullying Miss Eleven and don’t understand the kitchen."
Dong Qing swelled and flushed.
Last time the fifth lady had a treat, she only took ten taels of silver and made a Buddha jump over the wall. She has reduced the amount according to the elements, why is it not enough in her hands? Speaking of it, it's just the state of the world, seeing that Miss Eleven and Miss Fifth are decent in front of the old lady!
"It's because I'm not sensible, and I hope my mother won't take it seriously." She forced her to accompany her mother Cao with a smile, "Mom watched to add and subtract!"
Mother Cao nodded, turned around and ordered the woman in the kitchen to chop the duck, leaving Dong Qing with her back.
Dong Qing walked back to Lvyun Tower with one foot high.
After being blown by Chuanlin's cold wind, he was a little refreshed.
Today is their treat, and there is still a lot to do. Why don't you let business go, and get angry with your two mothers.
Speaking of which, the two mothers were older than themselves, entered the palace earlier than themselves, and were in a higher position than themselves. What is wrong with them, they should have disciplined themselves... I thought they did not learn the rules well when they first entered the palace. Beating and scolding are small, and they are sometimes used when they are not fed or allowed to sleep. Why have I been with Miss Eleven for several years, I can't bear it!
Even though he was so enlightened, Dong Qing still felt uncomfortable in his heart!
She stared at the powder wall and gray tiles in the winter snow for a while, then turned around and went to the place where she was banquet today-a warm pavilion in front of the Luyun Tower.
Amidst the white snow and verdant green, the red-painted warm pavilion is like a fire.
The big red Luo splint curtain was opened, and the heat rushed toward him.
Bin Ju took Qiu Ju and Zhuxiang just to clear up-the black lacquer chair was polished brightly, the small tart was cushioned with silver-red cluster flowers, the tea table was placed with tea dishes, and there were two large square tables in the center.
"Sister Dong Qing, can you see if there is anything to add or subtract?" Bin Ju smiled and greeted him.
Before Dong Qing could answer, Qiu Ju smiled on the side and said, "I think I need to offer a few pineapples."
Bin Ju said, "For pineapples, it is better to plant a few plums."
"You can insert the plum blossoms and open the cage to get the plum bottle. Miss Eleven has three plum bottles in total. An old kiln made of colorful gold clay, a Ru kiln sky celadon glaze, and an official kiln sweet white porcelain are all good things. There will be a lot of people in the meeting, and if you lose one, you can cry and you won’t be able to cry again.” Qiu Ju argued a little unconvinced.
Bin Ju couldn't help sighing, "The pineapple and citron are all kept by the mother who is in charge of the yard, to get it, and I have to ask my mother to check the cards... it is better to open the box and get the plum bottle."
For a time, the three of them were speechless.
The faint grief just now suddenly turned into a wave of waves. Dong Qing couldn't help but hugged the twelve-year-old Qiu Ju. "If someday, we can do whatever we want!"
When having lunch at noon, lady eleven asked about Dong Qing's treat.
"Mother Xu is not at home, and the maid said she would pass it on. Mother Wu said she will come by then..." She paused and said, "Mother Yao might still send the little maid after a while. Miss Wu is now I didn’t see it. Ziwei said, I have to ask Miss Wu to show me if I can come. I only saw Baizhi with Miss Ten. Baizhi also said to see the situation. From Miss Twelve, Mother Liu said ten The second lady goes to bed early, and there must be someone by her side to serve her. When she comes, Yutong and Yuhuai can't come, and if Yutong and Yuhuai come, she can't come. We balance the two phases, and this lively scene is still Let it to the young man. She won't come. Let Yutong and Yuhuai bring two little maids, white bead and Jin Zhu."
Mother Xu didn't meet, and Yao's mother, Jiaoyuan, Shiniang, and Shiniang had the same attitudes as before. In other words, only Wu Xiao's family suddenly became very enthusiastic.
lady eleven nodded slightly, making no sound.
The room fell into silence.
A thoughtful expression appeared on Amber's face standing behind her.
At the end of the afternoon, Wu Xiao's family came. I also brought two jars of Jinhua wine. "...I am an idler, see if Miss Eleven is of use to me."
Hearing this is a kind word, lady eleven really asked her to help. Let go of the two-thirds of the luo and got up to entertain her.
"Don't, don't, don't." Wu Xiao's family waved their hands again and again, "You give Brother Yu auspicious Luozi, this is a big event. I have Amber to accompany you. You are busy with you. I will go to Dong Qing Sing there for the girl, listen to her to send it." He insisted on going to Nuan Pavilion.
Lady Eleven was indeed worried about the unfinished Luozi, and ordered Amber to accompany Wu Xiao's family to Nuan Pavilion.
Dong Qing went to the kitchen to urge the vegetables, and Bin Ju led Qiu Ju and Zhu Xiang in the room waiting for the guests.
Seeing Wu Xiao's family come in, everyone saluted her enthusiastically. She returned the gift, chatting with Bin Ju with witty words, and they made them laugh.
After a while, Yutong and Yuhuai brought white bead and Jin Zhu. Seeing Wu Xiao's family, they all showed surprise expressions, but Wu Xiao's family greeted a few people with a calm expression.
Yutong and the others hurriedly curtailed the salutes of surprising color and Wu Xiao's family.
At this time, the crape myrtle in Wuniang's house came.
Wu Xiao's family took the initiative to say hello.
Ziwei was shocked, and it took a long time to come back to salute Wu Xiao's family.
"Mom is here too, I really didn't expect it..." She murmured a few words, and was surprised that she had failed to speak, and smiled hurriedly to remedy it, "I said my mother is a busy person, but she came earlier than me."
Wu Xiao’s family was silent and smiled amiably. "I am a idler. Unlike you, I have all errands and I can’t leave it alone."
