Concubine Raiders Chapter 212: New Year (Chinese)
Chapter 212 New Year (Middle)
Qiao Lianfang wore a small rose red swathed dress with flowing clouds and a dark green full skirt embroidered with plum, orchids and bamboo. The jet-black green silk had a high updo and a jasper hairpin. She was still tall and straight. The expression is still so indifferent, just a faint tiredness between the eyebrows, as if not sleeping well.
It seems that Qiao Lian's room is the same as Aunt Qin, and she sleeps unsteadily!
Qiao Lianfang likes Xu Lingyi. At first I heard that he was worried about a concubine who had been dead for more than ten years and could not sleep well. But why is Aunt Qin?
Remembering the deep affection of previous sisters?
Still pitying her early death?
Or, are you just worried about the impact of Xu Sijie's arrival on Xu Siyu?
While thinking, a little maid came in and said: "Madam, Master Hou and Master Wu are about to get up!"
"Oh!" Eleven Niang hurriedly converged her mind, smiled and told Amber: "Go and ask, where is the breakfast set?"
Amber left in response.
Then Eleven Mother told Aunt Qin: "Today is New Year's Eve, the place where the fifth young master lives has not been cleaned up, and the people in the house are not ready for a while. You must trouble Aunt Qin."
Aunt Qin immediately got up and said: "Madam, don't worry, I will let the people in my room help to clean up the place."
Eleven Niang nodded and brought tea: "Everyone is gone! Remember to come early in the afternoon, so that we can go to Mrs. Tai's New Year's Eve dinner together."
Everyone stood up and responded.
Auntie Wen smiled and leaned in front of Eleven Niang: "Madam, anyway, I am idle when I am idle, so I might as well be with Sister Qin and help Young Master Five clean up the house."
In Aunt Wen's house, there is also a mother who is in charge of affairs, a mother who is a rough man, two second-class maids, and two little maids.
"Okay!" Eleven mother smiled, "There are so many people and powerful. There are fireworks to watch in the evening. If this matter is stopped earlier, we can also spend a new year with peace of mind!"
Aunt Wen smiled and answered "Yes", and went to Xu Siyu's old residence with Aunt Qin, while Qiao Lianfang returned to her house with embroidery.
Xiuluo smiled and brought a cup of hot tea to Qiao Lian's room: "Miss, don't worry now! Hou Ye went to Eleven Niang's place, but it was just a response."
Qiao Lian brought only one embroidered chute when she came over, and the others were matched by the Xu family. So on weekdays, she only keeps Xiu Tong in front of her. No one else in the room.
Listening to Xiutong teasing herself like this, she flushed, smiled and took the veil to shake Xiutong: "What nonsense?"
Xiuyin ducked away, covered his sleeves and smiled, simply joking: "Miss, take care!"
Qiao Lianfang's face turned dark when she heard her, and she placed her hands on her abdomen subconsciously.
The smile on Xiu's face also gradually faded. Lightly walked to Qiao Lian's room, and whispered: "Miss, don't worry, this time Xiong Zhao will have a dream."
Qiao Lianfang couldn’t help but her eyes turned red when she heard: "I took the medicine and put on the utensils...I did everything I can. But my body is..." As she said, she couldn't help but put her hands together towards the west. "The merciful and compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, this time if I can follow the wish of the young woman, I will shape your golden body and enshrine incense, day and night."
The three aunts walked on their front feet, and Amber said back and forth on the back feet: "Master Hou said, breakfast is in the study room."
Eleven Niang took Xu Sijie and Bin Ju, who was holding him, to the study.
They ran into Lu Yun at the door sending the two maids beside the fifth lady out.
The three men bowed their knees to salute her, and Lu Yun explained hurriedly: "The fifth lady sent someone to send clothes to the fifth master."
The fifth lady has always taken care of Xu Lingkuan.
Eleven Mother smiled and nodded to the two maids, and hesitated.
Is it too early that they are still washing?
I was about to ask the green cloud, and the red embroidery came out: "Madam, please go in."
Eleven Niang smiled and entered the study.
Xu Lingyi and Xu Lingkuan were sitting left and right on the big kang by the window, one of them wore a half-new sapphire blue homely brocade gown, and the other wore a buddha head green and white mink fur coat. The expressions were peaceful, eyebrows stretched, and it was obvious that they were in a good mood.
Seeing Eleven Niang bringing Xu Sijie in, Xu Lingkuan hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Sister-in-law!" The attitude was very respectful.
Is it because I heard Xu Lingyi's words last night...
Eleven Niang secretly thought, smiled in return, she stood up and saw Xu Sijie, who was held in her arms by Binju, looked at Xu Lingyi with her dark eyes, and her brows overflowed with joy.
Look at Xu Lingkuan again—he turned his face gently.
She couldn't help but sighed inwardly.
This kid may really have no fate with Xu Lingkuan.
While thinking, asked Xu Sijie to salute the two of them.
Xu Lingyi asked Xu Sijie: "...is it all arranged?"
"Arranged to live in the old residence of Brother Yu. Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, people around me are not easy to find. For the time being, I will be looked after by a few maids around me. After the Lantern Festival, I will find a few honest and reliable people at home. Serve by your side." Eleven Niang said briefly.
Xu Lingyi couldn't help but nodded, showing a very satisfied expression, which was very inconsistent with his usual low-key and reserved.
Is it for Xu Lingkuan to see?
Thinking of what he said to Xu Lingkuan yesterday, I can't help Eleven Niang not think about it.
"You will spend more snacks on this matter." Xu Lingyi spoke to her politely, "Call the maid to have breakfast! Later we will go to the ancestral hall to lay out the utensils for ancestor worship."
According to the rules, only men can place items for ancestor worship, and women cannot touch them.
Eleven Niang smiled and answered "Yes", called the maid to pass the meal, served the two of them for breakfast, and then took Xu Sijie to the wife's wife.
San Ye, Third Madam, Fifth Madam, Xu Siqin, Xu Siyu, Xu Sijian, and Brother Qian have all arrived.
Seeing them entering the door, Mrs. Wu immediately walked towards Xu Lingkuan: "Fifth Lord, did you rest well yesterday?" But her eyes looked at Xu Sijie in Bin Ju's arms, her expression looked serious, and she was a little bit of inquiring. .
Eleven Niang couldn't help but smile.
Xu Lingkuan nodded to his wife, whispered "Go back and talk again", and then smiled and went forward to bow to everyone.
Mrs. Five didn’t look closely yesterday, and later when she wanted to look at it, she didn’t have the opportunity to look at it. This time she took a closer look and felt that she was three or four points like Xu Lingyi. When she thought of Shi Ma’s words yesterday, she felt a little more at ease and laughed. Step forward and salute the eleven mother.
Eleven mothers returned the gift, greeted the third wife and the third wife, and took Xu Sijie with Xu Lingyi and Xu Lingkuan to greet the wife.
Xu Lingyi took Sanye, Xu Lingkuan and a group of juniors to the ancestral hall. The third wife was going to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner, and the eleven mother was going to see how Xu Sijie’s place was cleaned, leaving the fifth wife to accompany his wife. The wife spoke, and the third wife and the eleven mothers said goodbye and separated.
Aunt Qin's yard is the same layout as that of Qiao Lian's room, but it is more spacious. In the middle of the yard, it is not flowers or plants, but a rockery made of Taihu rocks. From the courtyard gate that opens to the west, there is a chaoshou veranda to the north, which leads directly to Xu Siyu's former residence. The courtyard where Xu Siyu lives is more spacious than Aunt Qin's. The main house faces south, and there are three wing rooms on the left and right. Between the inverted seat and Aunt Qin's main house, there is a green stone rain lane. It is a serious courtyard.
Aunt Wen accompanied Shi Niang into the yard and pointed to the West Wing: "This was originally Ruyimen."
It means that if you open a door here, you don't have to go through Aunt Qin's courtyard, you can go directly to Xu Siyu's former residence.
Eleven Niang is noncommittal.
Wait until spring next year!
At that time, your own yard will be repaired, and you can also repair the yard here.
After entering the door, I saw Aunt Qin directing several little maids to hang curtains, and several little maids were holding rags and wiping the floor coverings.
Hearing the movement, everyone stopped what they were doing and saluted Eleven Niang.
Eleven mothers was a little surprised to see that everything in the room was almost packed.
"Because of the Chinese New Year, I just swept the dust a few days ago, and it was a lot more effective." Aunt Qin explained, "I moved in in the afternoon and covered the five young masters."
Eleven Niang smiled and nodded, let the maids continue cleaning, wandering around the house with Aunt Wen and Aunt Qin, discussing where to add something, where to reduce what, and where to put something. It was noon in the blink of an eye.
A young man next to Xu Lingyi came over and said: "Master Hou and Young Master Five are having lunch in the outer courtyard, so Mrs. Don't wait."
Amber rewarded the young man with ten cents. The eleven mother smiled and said: "Since Master Hou is not coming back, let's just eat something--anyway there will be something delicious in the evening. We will tidy up the fifth young master's residence early, or go to the Taifu's place earlier."
Auntie Wen and Auntie Qin responded with a smile, went to the eleven mother’s room and ate some random food, and rushed to stop the house before the end of the house, and arranged to go to the wife at the third quarter of Shen Chu, and sent someone to go. Talked to Qiao Lian's room, and then went back to the room to freshen up.
Xu Lingyi and the others went to the ancestral hall. Some priests and priests had already prepared their things. They were so busy that they had a hasty lunch in the outer courtyard at noon. Then they returned to the ancestral hall and reported to their ancestors. Xu Lingyi wrote and put Xu Sijie's name on the genealogy, and then they separated.
The fifth lady finally waited until Xu Lingkuan came back.
She smiled and waited for him to change clothes, and said nonchalantly: "What? I said all night. I was worried that Lord Hou would be angry with you, and that you were wronged... I didn't sleep well all night." /
Xu Lingkuan's eyes flashed with a hint of shame: "It's all my fault, making you worry!"
"Look at what the Fifth Master said~IndoMTL.com~The Fifth Madame groaned, "It's the concubine who likes crazy thinking. "Speaking, she took the tea served by the maid and handed it over with a smile, "However, the concubine is really curious, what did Master Hou say to you?" "
Xu Lingkuan did not tell his wife about the children because he had always thought that the matter had been resolved long ago—he paid Liu Huifang money, and Liu Huifang was responsible for raising the children.
Never thought that so many things would happen.
Especially after listening to the fourth brother's heart-to-heart remarks yesterday, he realized how much trouble he had caused and how much danger he had brought to the Xu family.
Seeing his wife asked him, he wanted to talk to his wife.
But when he thought of the promise that he had promised the fourth brother, "Forget about the child. As if he had never given birth. Even if he asks himself, he still insists on the promise that he is the fourth brother's child." Endure it.
"Nothing!" Xu Lingkuan took a deep breath, unconsciously straightened his back, "Fourth brother asked me to do him a favor!"
