Concubine Raiders Chapter 218: Happy New Year (Chinese)

Chapter 218 New Year Greetings (Middle)

It is better to say less about this topic involving emperors.

Xu Lingyi smiled and changed the subject: "This matter is not in a hurry. I will be a teacher for a day and a father for life. Learning is important, but the character of the husband is more important. It is better to choose carefully."

Eleven Niang nodded.

She thought of Mr. Zhao, who had served as a Western Xixi in Hou Tang's house in Zhongshan... It was a pity that he did not have this fate. Otherwise, if someone close to the Luo family looks at Brother Qian, he can feel relieved.

Eleven Niang took a little regret and Xu Lingyi went to Mrs. Tai.

Everyone was here, and when they saw them coming in, they stood up. Mrs. Five even joked: "Why have Master Hou and Sister-in-law been there for so long? We are sitting here drinking a cup of tea. We are so hungry that our chests are pressed against our backs." He went forward to tease Xu Sijie, "This child is long. Deke is so beautiful!"

Xu Sijie looked at the fifth lady curiously with his big eyes open.

The fifth wife is a pregnant woman, so she prepared a snack specially for her for fear that she would be hungry. On the way back to the lotus, she came back eating snacks all the way. Eleven mother is not worried that she is hungry. It can be seen that she teased Xu Sijie, always feeling strange in her heart. Smiled and asked: "Why don't you see Brother Chen?"

"We played backgammon with Brother Qin in the house!" Madam Tai laughed and asked Xu Sijie, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Eat!" Xi Niang smiled and responded, and stepped forward to salute Mrs. Tai.

"Let him play with Brother Chen! Mrs. Du gave the order to help him go to Dongjima.

Bin Ju is busy bending her knees "Yes".

Thinking of her promise, Eleven Niang was a few steps behind, and touched Xu Sijie’s head: "Brother Jie, you and Bin Ju are playing in Brother Qian’s house. I have something to do with Lord Hou. When it gets dark, we will Come and pick you up. OK?"

Xu Sijie's eyes showed resentment, but he nodded and replied softly "OK".

Eleven Niang smiled at him and touched his head, only then allowed Bin Ju to carry him to Brother Qian, and went to Dongjijian by herself.

After dinner, everyone sat down to drink tea in the western room. Xu Lingyi asked Xu Lingkuan: "How about it? I heard that you played until midnight yesterday, do you want to go back to catch up?"

Xu Lingkuan immediately said: "What's that? If I didn't see Brother Qin all yawning, I'm going to play till dawn!" Then, I thought that my brother didn't like him all night. The voice dropped again.

Xu Lingyi remembered what Eleven Niang had said, and regarded Xu Lingkuan as a colleague. Since this is the case, you can't blame him for these personal matters.

He said to the third master Xu Lingning who was sitting aside: "It looks like we can have a leisure time this year." Then he told Xu Lingkuan, "Since you are not tired, well, I will go to Jiang's house with your sister-in-law. If there are guests at home, help entertain them!"

Xu Lingkuan was overjoyed, and then showed some worry: "Me, can I do it?"

"Isn't there still a third brother at home?" Xu Lingyi smiled, "What do you don't understand? There are Director Bai and Director Zhao outside, and there is a third master at home. It's not shameful to ask!"

Xu Lingkuan couldn't help looking at Xu Lingning.

Xu Lingning smiled and nodded at him.

Xu Lingkuan was young and out of temper. What happened to the Xu family before was always the responsibility of himself and his fourth brother. Now that he wants to be released, the things in his hands must be handed over to a reliable talent. Last night he led the children to play crazy, but they could also restrain their playfulness and urge a few children to rest before Chou Chu. Since the fourth brother wanted to try his abilities, of course he had to assist him.

Mrs. Tai looked at her slightly jaw, and her joy was beyond words.

Although she is angry that this child is not up to date, she hopes that he can up up.

Xu Lingkuan is overjoyed. Unexpectedly, the third and fourth brothers agreed to let him represent the Xu family to serve guests...

He jumped up and said: "Brother 3, Brother 4, rest assured, I will do my best."

The fifth lady looked at her husband with a smile.

She didn't expect this husband to be an official, nor did she expect him to be promoted, but if he could take on the responsibilities of the family, the fifth lady would be very happy.

The third lady was slightly unhappy.

Is it a brother? During the Spring Festival, I don’t know how many high-ranking officials took this opportunity to congratulate him. Hou Ye told Xu Lingkuan about such a showy thing. The thought flashed, and then I thought that I was about to go out of Beijing with my husband, and what to do with all these things. Maybe they hadn't left Xu Lingkuan before they stabbed a big man and needed Sanye's help to solve it!

Thinking of this, she laughed.

Eleven mothers sighed.

Looking at Xu Lingkuan like this, it's not that he doesn't want to work, it's that the family has never regarded him as a person who can work, and he didn't even give him a chance.

Seeing that the family's affairs were clear, Xu Lingyi took Eleven Niang to Jiang's house.

It was a little surprised to hear that Yongping Hou brought his wife to pay New Year's greetings. Jiang Bai, who was drinking with a bunch of friends and a few nephews and enjoying orchids, was slightly surprised.

Hou Yongping wanted to enter the palace to see him, and count the time, but he came to pay his New Year greetings after he left the palace...

Those present here are envious.

Jiang Bai hurriedly ordered the young man to report to his wife, and after a few conversations with his friends, he went to the flower hall.

The carriage of Xu Mansion stopped in front of Jiang's Chuihua Gate. Xu Lingyi and Jiang Bai went to the Flower Hall, while Mrs. Jiang welcomed the Eleven Niang into the inner courtyard.

Ms. Jiang is also a transparent person, and the Xu family's actions are only a tactful expression of the Jiang family's determination to marry. Naturally, she could not neglect, and she received the eleven mothers with the good etiquette of the family. Not only did she call her children to visit the eleven mothers, but also introduced the two nieces and nephews who were guests at home to the eleven. mother.

Eleven Mother was a little surprised to hear that the two children were Jiang Gui's sons and daughters.

Then Mrs. Jiang Gui is not in Taiyuan Mansion to accompany her husband to celebrate the New Year, why did she return to Yanjing with her two children?

Ms. Jiang explained: "...It is said that Mrs. Wang is not in good health, so she is a little worried, so come back and have a look."

Eleven mothers felt even more strange.

She also saw Mrs. Wang in the morning and didn't see what was wrong. Moreover, since he was coming back to visit his mother, why didn't he bring the child, but stayed in Jiang Mansion?

She was puzzled and could not ask deeply. Just as a gift for the two children to meet, a little maid came in and told Mrs. Jiang: "Lao Chen’s wife is here to give you a New Year greeting!"

Eleven Niang was very surprised.

She did not expect that Elder Chen and Jiang Bo would have such friendship.

Look at Mrs. Jiang again-she was confused, and she was obviously puzzled by Mrs. Chen's visit.

It seems that Mrs. Chen is no longer a guest.

Eleven Niang calmly served the tea cup...

The Xu family didn't stay in the Jiang family for long before leaving.

Jiang Bai and his wife personally escorted them to the carriage.

Eleven Niang told Xu Lingyi of Mrs. Chen's visit: "...I wonder if you met Mrs. Chen Ge?"

"Encountered!" Xu Lingyi smiled slightly, "It seems that Mr. Chen is in favor of sea ban!"

Eleven mothers did not understand: "Then what does this have to do with the Jiang family?"

Xu Lingyi looked at her and smiled: "Wang Jiubao's family has been on the sea for so many years, can't it be achieved only by brute force?"

Eleven mothers thought that not long after the amnesty was awarded, Xu Lingyi received a letter from Wang Jiubao...

"Do you mean..."

"Since Emperor Xiao, I have been pursuing seclusion and shutting the country away. But maritime trade is profitable and exciting, and it is unavoidable that some people take risks." Xu Lingyi smiled, "As time goes by, they are racing to follow suit. Every wealthy businessman in Fujian, Eight out of ten, nine out of ten are colluding with pirates." There is something in his words, "Now Wang Jiubao is amnesty, and he wants the emperor to ban the sea. If you can find me, you can naturally find others."

Eleven Niang still didn't want to understand what this had to do with it.

Xu Lingyi looked a little solemn: "If you want to open a sea ban, it won't work without the support of the court of justice, and it won't work without the support of scholars!"

Eleven Niang vaguely figured out now.

When she used to study history, when she talked about the maritime ban, she talked about how it restricted the country's development, and when she talked about reform, she talked about the tragic end of the reformers. She couldn't help but said: "Hou Ye, do you also agree to open sea bans?"

When Xu Lingyi heard the worry in her tone, she couldn't help but touched her head with a smile: "I am a person who resigned from office to recuperate at home. These important events in the court naturally have the elders decide, where is my turn? Negative."

In that case, why did you look for a map to see it!

Eleven Niang looked at Xu Lingyi in surprise, and saw a sly flash in his eyes.

The two returned home, their feet were not firm, and the young man ran over: "Fifth master asked the young man to wait here. When he saw Master Hou, he immediately told him that Mr. Liang had been waiting for you in the outer study room."

Chen Ge is in Jiang Mansion, Liang Ge has been waiting for Xu Lingyi...In one day, I saw two Ge elders. Quite a bit of the smell of mountains and rain coming and wind blowing all over the building.

Eleven Niang and Xu Lingyi couldn't help but exchanged glances, then one went to the outer courtyard, and the other went to Mrs. Tai.

The wife is also full of guests.

Mrs. Liang, Mrs. Li Zongbing's wife, the wife of the Minister of Etiquette...

Everyone talked and laughed, wiped out the cards and had a drink, and then left when the lights were in hand.

Eleven Niang took Xu Sijie back.

Ask him on the way: "What did you play with the brothers?"

He answered the wrong question: "The muffins at Brother Si's are delicious!"

Eleven mothers laughed.

Back in the house, Xu Lingyi has not yet returned. She called Amber: "Tomorrow you will come back to your natal house with me and sit down with Shanhu. Ask carefully about your aunt's situation!"

Amber complimented.

Xu Lingyi came back full of alcohol.

Eleven Mother hurriedly asked the maid to bring the sober soup, waited for him to wash and rest, and then turned and ordered the maid to put the tea bucket on the small tartlet next to the bed-fearing that he would be thirsty in the middle of the night.

He pulled her into the quilt: "Let the little maid do these things, and you should rest too!"

The servants in the room hurriedly stepped back~IndoMTL.com~The heat in the quilt was blowing, and the heart of Eleven Niang was beating.

Since that time, Xu Lingyi hasn't...I didn't expect...Could it be that wine is a matchmaker for sex...

She yelled calmly: "I'm not afraid you will get thirsty in the middle of the night? Now that I'm fine, I've scared the maids away, so I have to do it myself."

"I am not thirsty."

The radiant light of the lantern of the croissant palace shone through the thin tent, and he could clearly see her white jade face gradually turning red, like a red lotus blooming in June.

This account should have been changed long ago!

The corners of Xu Lingyi's mouth were raised high, and she hugged her tightly...
