Concubine Raiders

According to eleven Niang's visual inspection, Luo's house covers about 30 mu. In the East is Zhiyun hall, in the middle is sizhitang, and in the west is shuangxingyuan. At the back door of Shuangxing courtyard, there is a gate leading to the water from the outer river into a lake. After the gate, it is a small courtyard with about ten rooms, called linfangzhai. To the east of linfangzhai is the back garden of Luofu.

The Lvyun building is in the northwest corner of the back garden.

Eleven Niang and bin Ju followed Yao's mother out of the Lvyun building, through the corridor connecting the Lvyun building and the Zhiyun Pavilion, and soon arrived at the Zhiyun Pavilion.

When they came in, they met her mother, who was walking out with four or five servant girls.

Mother Xu is the most powerful person around the eldest lady. She is in charge of the money and personnel of the house. Yao's mother is in charge of the daily affairs of the house.

Eleven Niang respectfully called out "mother.".

Yao's mother and binju went forward to Xu's mother and warmly said, "what are you busy with?"

Xu's mother is in her forties. Although she is the most powerful person around her, she always smiles when she sees people. People from all over the Luo family are willing to get close to her.

With a smile, she gave the eleven Niang a gift, and then returned a gift to Yao's mother and bin Ju. Then she said, "the eldest lady sent me to send sesame oil money to Ci'an temple."

Yao's mother was shocked and said, "isn't that the director of the Ci'an temple came to get it?"

Mrs. Xu said with a smile, "the eldest lady wants to light an ever burning lamp."

Yao's mother was even more surprised.

The Ci'an temple is more than 20 miles away from here, and it takes a day. Since we are going, how can we start at this time?

She also wants to ask again, that Xu's mother has already chatted with the eleven Niang: " I also want you to think about it. I specially asked Holly to bring me soy beans with soy sauce. "

Eleven Niang smiles politely: "also is not what good thing, mother don't be polite!"

"You are very kind." Xu's mother said with a smile, "it was Holly's sister-in-law last time. Come? You also asked Holly to bring me two cans. I said at that time, whose craft is this? How can it be so delicious. I've been in my forties, and I've never eaten such a delicious pickle... "

One of them was ordered to see the eldest lady, and the other was appointed to be a servant. They did not dare to stay any longer. After a few words of greetings, they parted.

Yao's mother took eleven Niang to the east room on the first floor of the old lady's daily residence and Banquet: "Miss 11, sit down, I'll report to the eldest lady!"

She left eleven Niang and bin Ju and turned to go upstairs, and her own little maids served them tea.

Binju can't help looking at the furnishings of the room.

On the front, there are black lacquer characters and endless heads. On the three sides of the Arhats, tiger leather girdles are laid on the bed. On the bed, there are Wenwang tripods and sachets decorated with silk and enamel. On the high tables on both sides are bonsai of evergreen stone with jadeite as leaf and jade as branches. In front of the glass partition, there is a chair burden of money Python on the chair with a stone green bottom. The floor tiles under your feet are as bright as a mirror, reflecting the human figure

Usually Holly accompanied eleven Niang to Zhiyun hall, but this time miss 11 took her.

The decoration of the house is quite different from that when she was last here.

The last time she came, there was filial piety period, everywhere a vast white, looking at the shame people panic. This time, there is a kind of cold gorgeous, let her have a kind of self abased uneasiness.

Thinking of what she had not had a chance to say in front of the eleven Niang, she and the little maids retreated to the door, leaving only miss eleven and her in the room. Binju could not help but step forward and said in a low voice, "Miss 11, if in case I can't get rid of elder sister Dongqing You should do it! " She said, tears could not help but float up, and her eyes were crystal clear. "This is what sister Dongqing asked me to say to the young lady when we came. We don't need to ask too much for such trifles. "

Eleven Niang looked at Magu xianshou's pink tea cup and did not make a sound.

Binju and her get along for three years, know that she looks easygoing, made up her mind, but nine cattle can not pull back. Not from the low voice to persuade her: "if the heart ache Dongqing elder sister, later married, ordered her husband and wife to be the companion. With the support of people, with the talent of sister Dongqing, you can live a good life as well... "

"Be careful there are ears next door." Eleven Niang gently a sentence, but let bin Ju face a red.

She knew that she was too impatient, only to "um" a, standing behind eleven Niang dare not speak.

Be a companion!

Two girls want to get good, but even if it's a matter of no alternative, when they want to go this way, they can't make their own decisions. I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort.

Eleven Niang couldn't help laughing bitterly.

There are many servants in Zhiyun hall, and several aunts are making fun of the eldest lady. The atmosphere is always lively. She came all the way today, but she saw only a few servant girls, and they all looked cautious It has the feeling that the rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.

Did mother Yao say something in front of the eldest lady?

Just like the last time she induced the eldest lady to say that her nephew relied on her mother to work as an official in front of her and peeped into the inner courtyard In order to teach herself a lesson, the eldest lady sent the people around her?

Eleven Niang's brain was spinning fast.

This morning, at the time of morning and dusk, the eldest lady was all fine. She also said with a smile that her yam cake was delicious. She asked her to make some more and send them tomorrow. She also gave her a jade hairpin with a gold inlaid with blue stone and longevity character If there is any change, it is after I left It's a pity that Yao's mother is so close that she can't get away from her. Otherwise, coral, the second-class servant girl next to the eldest lady, has always been close to Holly. If you ask her, you can find some cluesThinking of this, she touched the gold inlaid jade hairpin with the inscription of longevity, which was specially inserted before she came here I hope that the eldest lady will see this jade hairpin and think of her docile and docile in front of her in recent years. She can speak and act to save her face.

Although eleven Niang secretly planned in the heart, but the body is like a tight string, always pay attention to the surrounding movement.

After a while, she could smell the faint sandalwood, and hear the soft footsteps and the rustling of her dress.

The eldest lady worships Buddha all the year round. She always has a smell of sandalwood

Eleven Niang stood up and saw the curtain flash. A girl in a red cotton padded jacket came in with a tall and dignified woman.

They were followed by seven or eight servant girls, and Yao's mother was also there.

"Big lady!" Eleven Niang smile to welcome the past, empty hold woman's another arm.

"Look at you two!" The old lady's smile was kind and gentle, "as if I could not walk any longer."

"How could my mother not move when she was young?" The girl in red flattered her, "we want to take advantage of this opportunity to get close to our mother. You can't expose us." Her tone is delicate and simple, there is a kind of innocent girl who is not familiar with the world, which makes people feel playful and lovely. Said, she smiles to ask 11 Niang: "you say is not? Eleven girls

"Yes! Five elder sister. " Eleven Niang looked at her with a smile, as if appreciating her cheerful and lively.

This girl is eleven Niang's elder sister Wu Niang. Luo Zhensheng, the fourth master of Luo's family, is the younger brother of one of her mother's compatriots.

Their biological mother, Kirschner, is the third in the list of aunts. She was the maid who had been serving the eldest lady from her mother's home. Although she was later carried by her aunt and gave birth to a son and a daughter, she still rested on the imperial concubine's bed outside the eldest lady's bedroom and served the eldest wife with all her heart. The eldest wife was also very kind to her. She took her five niangs and four masters with her and raised them as well as yuanniang and uncle. Love is different.

Seeing their sister's intimacy, the first lady added a few satisfaction to her smile.

She first patted the back of eleven Niang's hand, then stretched out her index finger and pointed five Niang's forehead: "you can do it! Dare to beat your sister in front of me

With a kind of indulgent intimacy, Wu Niang naturally didn't take the big lady's words seriously. She asked eleven Niang with a smile: "mother said that I've excluded you. Do you think I've excluded you?"

Eleven Niang does not answer, just cover sleeve and smile.

Wu Niang pulled up the sleeves of his wife and said, "look, you see, eleven younger sister has nothing to say. You are eccentric. I'm afraid eleven younger sister will be wronged a little. How do not pity me, is and eleven Niang, can not suffer a bit of injustice

The eldest lady was amused by her childishness. He took Wuniang's hand and sat on the Luohan bed: "OK, OK, OK. I wronged our five niangs and let them suffer He also ordered the servant girl to bring Jin Wu to eleven Niang.

"It was!" Five Niang Du mouth empty sit on Luohan bed, but see the servant girls brought tea come in, get up and carry a cup of tea to the big lady: "mother, drink tea!"

The eldest lady answered with a smile.

Five Niang also brought a cup to eleven Niang: "eleven younger sister, drink tea!"

Eleven Niang stood up and picked it up.

Wu Niang brought herself another cup. Then they crowded into the Jin Wu of eleven Niang and sat down. In a voice that the eldest lady could hear, he whispered to Shiniang, "look at the tea I was in Longjing when I came just now. Now I'm Wuyi. My mother is very partial indeed

A few words made the room laugh.

The first lady pointed to Wu Niang's humanity behind her: "you see, you see, how can I raise a shrew monkey and make me uneasy every day."

Five Niang listened to go to big wife's bosom to drill: "splash monkey does not make queen mother make who?"

Next to the servant girl daughter-in-law son also laughs: "that is also the big wife is used to."

The eldest lady held her forehead in a helpless manner.

For a moment, the room was full of laughter and excitement.

Eleven Niang sat beside her sleeve and laughed.

When the eldest lady saw her, she asked her in a positive way: "I heard master Jian say that you can embroider double-sided embroidery now?"

The Luo family invited the old master to teach their daughter to read, and master Jian, the most famous embroiderer in Hangzhou, to teach needlework at home, and the woman on the stove taught them how to cook private dishes.

Eleven Niang thought for a long time and chose to work hard on needlework and cooking.

Dongqing can't help but worry: "women's home sewing, eating and doing well are everywhere, can recite poetry and painting is the ability..."

"As I am, I should do my duty well." Eleven Niang waved her hand and motioned her not to say more, "if it wasn't for fear that the eldest lady would think me stupid and learn nothing well, I would not even learn this needlework and cooking skills." From then on, he studied needlework wholeheartedly with jianshifu. Master Jian was happy to see her heart and teach. She even passed on her unique skill "double-sided embroidery" to Shiniang.
