Chapter 606 Confusion (Part 1)

"We didn't say anything!" Xu Lingyi said, "We just went hiking together."

"Is there anything else to say?" Eleventh Lady asked.

"Nothing!" Xu Lingyi said, "He has done well in the exams, so it's not appropriate for me to ask him about his homework, right?"

Xu Siyu's requests were few and small. Xu Lingyi's small actions would give him more confidence.

Eleventh Lady looked at Xu Lingyi with a smile, then shook her head and sighed.

Seeing his wife's eyes twinkling, Xu Lingyi couldn't help but laugh: "What are you thinking about again?"

"I just think the Marquis is very powerful." Eleventh Lady said, "No matter how much we talk, it would be better for the Marquis to just walk around outside the city without saying a word!" Her expression was somewhat joking.

She probably wanted to tell him with this seemingly relaxed attitude that he should pay more attention to his children!

Xu Lingyi smiled and lay down: "Go to sleep! Who knows who will come tomorrow!"

Eleventh Lady smiled and blew out the lamp.

In the darkness, she fell into a warm embrace.

"Moyan," he bit her ear and said, "Let's have another child?" As he spoke, his hot lips kissed her neck all the way down, "A girl like you."

A little girl with phoenix eyes appeared in Shiyi Niang's mind. She looked at her with her head tilted and eyes blinking like Jiange'er... Her body was gradually burning like a prairie fire... She panted softly, tightly hugged the strong body that was pressing on her, and her eyes became a little dazed.

Xu Lingyi stroked her face gently: "Okay?" His mellow voice was low and a little hoarse, and in the atmosphere filled with a unique style, it was charming and heart-pounding.

"Okay!" Eleventh Lady whispered in his ear, wrapping her slender thighs around his waist.

Although she was exhausted, years of habit still made Shiyi Niang wake up at dawn.

Her body felt sore and the arm pressing on her chest made it difficult for her to breathe, but she didn't want to move.

When he turned his head to the side, he saw Xu Lingyi's face sleeping soundly.

She couldn't help but look at him quietly.

Xu Lingyi looked peaceful while sleeping, and he looked several years younger than he did during the day.

He has two particularly long eyebrows at the peak of his left eyebrow.

She suddenly thought of a night talk party in college, where a classmate said that boys with long eyebrows are afraid of their wives... Thinking of this, Shiyi Niang couldn't help but smile.

Perhaps he sensed something different in the air flow around him, or perhaps he had slept well, Xu Lingyi suddenly opened his eyes.

Seeing Eleventh Lady looking at him with a smile on her face, he was slightly startled, as if he had accidentally seen something that made him happy, and his face brightened up.

"Are you okay?" His hand slid down her slender waist and reached under her.

Eleventh Lady blushed slightly and quickly grabbed his hand: "I'm fine!"

"Really?" Xu Lingyi looked at her and smiled.

"Really!" Eleventh Lady looked a little flustered and sat up as if to hide something.

The royal blue quilt emitting a faint blue light slid down, revealing her still green body, which made his eyes darken.

Eleventh Lady hurriedly turned sideways and put on her bellyband.

The goose-yellow brocade makes her snow-white skin crystal clear and tender.

Xu Lingyi supported himself with his elbows, and his warm lips fell on her back.

Eleventh Lady's body stiffened and her hand, which was tying the belt, paused.

Xu Lingyi laughed softly, sucking gently on the delicate skin like her cheek, and biting it from time to time.

"My Lord..." Eleventh Lady's voice seemed a little fragmented, "The maids will be in soon... to serve... to wash and dress..."

"It will be done soon!" Xu Lingyi's tone was slightly smiling, and his body was already pressed closely against hers!

This guy is always like this. Either don't do it, or do it thoroughly...

Eleventh Lady bit her lip, but couldn't stop moaning.

When she went to pay her respects to the lady-in-waiting, Eleventh Lady's hands and feet were still a little weak.

Mrs. Tai thought she was too busy with Xu Siyu's marriage, so she asked Mama Du to serve her a cup of ginseng tea: "If you are too busy, let Danyang help you. She is the best at receiving guests and treating guests. There aren’t many people at home, so you have to help each other.”

Eleventh Lady smiled and replied "yes" with a guilty conscience, saying, "That's what I thought too. I was just thinking about how to tell Fifth Brother's wife. Brother Chen is not even a full-time adult yet, so it's a little difficult to bring it up."

She didn't mean it.

The number of guests who came this time and their complex identities far exceeded her expectations.

There was Manager Bai taking care of her outside, so she didn't have to worry, but the inner courtyard needed her to take charge of the overall situation. Not to mention anything else, Mr. Chen Ge, Mr. Liang Ge, and Mr. Dou Ge all sent congratulatory gifts. Several ladies were here. She had to entertain them personally, right? But when she is accompanying these ladies, who will accompany Mrs. Huang, Mrs. Tang, Mrs. Zhou, and Aunt Lin? There are also banquets, tea, snacks in the inner courtyard... She doesn't have to do it herself, she still needs to sit there and deal out the cards for the mothers in charge to collect them, right? It turns out that the third lady still helps in this area, but now that the third lady has been separated, it is naturally difficult to let her take care of it. If she doesn't hold the Fifth Madam in her hand, then she may even have three heads and six arms.

Before Eleventh Lady finished her words, a voice like a silver bell came from the door: "Although it is Fourth Sister-in-law who is marrying her son, it is also me who is marrying my nephew's daughter-in-law. I have long wanted to lend a helping hand to Fourth Sister-in-law, but I was afraid that Fourth Sister-in-law would dislike my vulgarity, so I didn't dare to ask for it. Since Fourth Sister-in-law doesn't dislike it, I won't be polite!"

"Fifth brother's wife!" Eleventh Lady smiled and stood up to greet the visitor. "Your words put my mind at ease!" Then the two of them sat down around the Grand Madam with a smile, and discussed that Eleventh Lady would receive the wives of the ministers and the assistant ministers, while the Fifth Lady would receive Madam Zhou, Grandmother Lin, and others. As for the ladies and Madam Zheng, they would be led to sit with the Grand Madam. Zhu Xiang would be in charge of the tea, and Madam Song would be in charge of the banquet. At this point, the Fifth Lady said "Aiya" and asked Eleventh Lady, "Which troupe did you invite to perform?"

According to custom, if a troupe is hired, someone must be assigned to take care of the performance. "We hired the Xixiang Society." Shiyi Niang deliberately kept a distance from the Deyin Troupe, "They have a lot of new plays."

"A wedding party is not a party for entertaining guests and enjoying the scenery. It's for something new and fun." The lady laughed, "Those few pieces of Xizi opera about the harmony of the zither and the harp must be sung." After saying this, she pondered, "I think we should invite all three major opera troupes! There will be a stage in front of the Dianchun Hall, and a stage in the outer courtyard. Invite 11-12-year-olds like Xiao Fenfang and Xiao Lianzhu to sing in the Dianchun Hall, and famous actors like Bai Jushuang and Xiang Sanwan will sing in the outer courtyard. The office will prepare dozens of snowflake silver ingots. Whoever sings well will be rewarded with silver on the spot. Let the three opera troupes compete on the stage. Let everyone have fun!"

"Mother, this is a good idea!" Madam Wu nodded in approval. "In this way, those people will do their best to sing in the party for the reputation of the troupe." At this point, Madam Wu became a little excited. "It will definitely be very lively this time."

"It has to be lively!" The lady laughed, "Even though Yu'er failed in the imperial examination, his wedding should still be a grand one! We can't let outsiders look down on him because of us!"

In this world, people lift others up.

If that's the case, we can just find an excuse to keep Xu Siqi in the inner court.

Eleventh Lady nodded.

"Mother is still very thoughtful." She asked the Fifth Lady with a smile, "Then let's ask Madam Shi to help arrange these little actors. What do you think?"

Both of them like to sing opera. Mother Shi was influenced by them and knows more about the opera troupe than most people.

The fifth lady agreed readily.

A few people discussed some details, and when it was almost noon, the lady invited the two to have lunch.

When I went out, I encountered autumn rain.

"Madam," she knelt and saluted, "Gao Qing's seventh aunt and seventh aunt's wife have brought their son to congratulate the second young master!"

Eleventh Lady was very surprised.

She didn't tell him when she sent the invitation to Zhu Tuoping for Xu Sishu's wedding a few days ago, thinking that Bao Ge'er was too young and they were not planning to come.

"Qiniang is here!" The Fifth Lady was also surprised. "She wrote to me two days ago and said that Bao Ge'er knew people, but she came to Yanjing without any mention." Then she laughed. "I often heard her talk about Bao Ge'er in her letters, but I haven't seen him yet. Maybe I got a closer look this time.

The two of them hurried to the main house.

After becoming a mother, Qi Niang still had a slim figure, and her expression was no longer impetuous. She was cheerful like a young girl in every move. She had the grace of a pre-married woman.

She was holding a baby who looked about 60 years old in her arms, and there was a little boy of five or six years old beside her.

Eleventh Lady was very surprised. Although she guessed the identity of the boy, she still wanted to confirm it. She pointed at the boy and asked, "Who is this?"

Qi Niang smiled and said, "This is my eldest son, Ji Ge'er." Then she told the child to shout, "This is your Eleventh Aunt, and this is the Fifth Madam!"

The child pinched the corner of Qiniang's clothes tightly and called for help in a soft voice.

Qi Niang apologized, "I grew up in the countryside and have never seen the world, so I am a little timid. I hope my eleventh sister and fifth lady will not be offended if I am rude!"

"Why are you being so polite to us?" Fifth Lady smiled and looked at Qi Niang's adopted son, Ji Ge'er. "He's just a little kid, he's afraid of meeting strangers. He'll be fine when he grows up. This isn't a place outside, and we're not people outside. There's no need to be rude, and we can't be rude."

Eleventh Lady, however, went forward and hugged Bao Ge'er.

The child is white and chubby, and feels heavy in the hand.

"My nephew looks like his uncle." She laughed, "He looks 70% like my third brother and 30% like my seventh sister. When Bao Ge'er fell into her arms, he twisted his body and looked at Qi Niang and started crying.

Qi Niang hurried forward to take it and said, "I have held her since she was little, and no one wants her. Not even your seventh brother-in-law can hold her."

Seeing that Ji Ge'er was a bit like Zhu Anping, the Fifth Lady said, "Doesn't that mean you don't want your mother-in-law either?"

Qi Niang smiled at Wu Furen sideways, as if to say, "Is there any need to ask this?"

The Fifth Lady giggled.

The old lady of the Zhu family is thinking about her grandson. If Qi Niang raises her son and doesn't want his grandmother, one can imagine how anxious the old lady of the Zhu family will be.

Eleven Niang also pursed her lips and smiled. Jing and the others sat on the big kang near the window in the west room, and Mrs. Fifth gave Stepbrother and Baobrother a meeting gift. Knowing that Qiniang's family had only arrived in the afternoon and were resting in her house in Yanjing, she came over early this morning and asked her about her arrangements for the past few days. She also called her children to meet Stepbrother and Baogeer. .

Cheng was clamoring to follow his sister Yu to play with Bao. Before Jian and Qian came, they were playing Cuju together. They were impatient to sit here and listen to the adults talking, so they pulled Ji to go outside to play together.

Jiger was so frightened that his face turned pale and he hid behind Qiniang and didn't come out.

Qi Niang smiled and came to Ji Ge'er's rescue: "He doesn't know how to play Cuju!"

Jiangeer said: "I'll teach him. Even my mother has learned it!"

It seems like Eleventh Lady is very stupid.

Upon hearing this, Eleventh Lady couldn't help but cough lightly.

Qi Niang and Wu Madam burst into laughter.

It stopped working all night again, and the call came back at ten o'clock!

O（∩_∩）O~

Sigh: I'll post a draft first. Please bear with me.

Shamelessly ask sisters with pink tickets to support me! It’s the end of the month…
