Xu Promise got up from Lu's arms, straightened his clothes, and said, "Liu Niang has seen Mrs. Du, is Aunt Du here?"

Her attitude was respectful, not because she respected Mrs. Du, but so as not to embarrass her mother.

Mrs. Du was dressed in magenta cloud fei makeup and satin woven straight sleeves, wearing pearl jasper step rocks and red plum gold silk hollow beads, and sat dignified with her hands folded on her knees. The moment Xu Promise threw himself into Lu Shi's arms, his brows furrowed, and his eyes flashed with contempt and disdain.

Such a daughter-in-law, she didn't want ten thousand, and barely suppressed the disgust in her heart before saying: "She went to find Siniang, if you want to go, go too, I'll talk to your mother." ”

Xu promised to worry that Mrs. Du would be embarrassed for her mother, so she shook her head and said that she wanted to spend more time with her mother.

Mrs. Du's face was even worse, and she drank tea with her head bored.

Diametrically opposed to Mrs. Du's bright dress, Lu Shi wore the usual brown folded branch pattern sleeves, with a mutton fat-colored jasmine hairpin and a gold comb grate on his hair, and looked at Mrs. Du calmly, completely unaware of what the other party had in mind.

The Du family's trip was for Du Dalang to propose to the Xu family.

Du Dalang's single name is a Chen character, thirteen years old, and there is no table word.

In mid-February, on the day of the end of Mrs. Ding's birthday banquet, Du Chen kept asking Aunt Du about the promise.

Aunt Du has never liked promises, and she also hated Du Chen for causing her to lose face in front of Ding Mo, and said some bad things about promises, but Du Chen didn't listen to a word. After he returned to Changzhou County, he also told Mrs. Du the scene of the promise to stand and swing, and Mrs. Du praised it, and he begged Mrs. Du to come to Xu's house to propose marriage.

Old lady Du had also heard the rumor of promising a poisonous mother, and immediately resolutely rejected Du Chen's proposal.

Half a month later, the reputation of the promise suddenly improved, and few people said those rumors in the past, Du Chen was overjoyed when he learned about it, and immediately went to ask Mrs. Du.

Mrs. Du sent someone to inquire, and she responded the next day. He wanted to marry the Xu family in the early years, and sent the best concubine to the Xu Mansion as a concubine, and he had some contact with the Xu family, but he was not an in-law. Now if they can marry the daughter of the Xu family, the two families can be regarded as real relatives.

Although Xu Liuniang had a bad reputation in the past, if she was a lady with a good reputation and an excellent reputation, she would not be able to take the turn of the Du family, not to mention that she is now good at tea ceremony and etiquette.

Mrs. Du was shocked when she learned about it, and reprimanded Du Chen with a black face. That night, he cried to Du Erye, saying that if she wanted to marry, she could let the people in the big house go, why should she ask her child to marry the wild child who grew up outside, the wild child is unfilial and unjust, and maybe one day after marrying back, he poisoned the family with **.

Although Second Master Du was not satisfied with his son marrying the sixth mother of the Xu family, he didn't want his brother to have a daughter-in-law who promised him, and he didn't want to disobey his father, so he explained to his wife that the daughter of the Xu family had to marry the Du family's son-in-law, and she couldn't mess with the rules.

Mrs. Du was so angry that she stayed up all night, she knew a lot about promises, she didn't know a single big word, and she didn't know how to do it at all, even the best thing in the Lu family didn't understand Fuqin promises, and she didn't even know how to make a rough maidservant, she really didn't want such a woman.

Du Chen knew that his mother was unwilling, so he changed his playfulness, and stuck to Mrs. Du's side all day long, saying that the promise was good, and Mrs. Du hated the promise even more. She really didn't understand why her son and the wild boy had only met once or twice, and they were so obsessed.

In addition to his wife Yang, Mrs. Du also has a concubine, and the eldest son is from the concubine room.

Mrs. Du married the sister-in-law of the Du family and became the mother of the Du family, but her husband Du Erye respected the brother of the concubine, so although she presided over the feed, she always felt that the big house was an eyesore.

The whole Du family felt that this matter was acceptable, but Mrs. Du's heart was burning and painful, and she couldn't speak of her suffering, so she finally wrote a letter to Aunt Du and Xu Qian.

In mid-March, the Wang family invited to the pear orchard to enjoy the flowers, even if Mrs. Du knew that Ding Mo would go to the pear orchard, she wanted her daughter to appear in front of Ding Mo more, but in the end she still reluctantly cut her love, pretended to be sick and did not go, and did not allow a pair of children to go, for fear that her son would be even more enchanted when he saw the promise.

Why would a woman who grew up in the countryside be so fascinated by her son!

Later, Mrs. Du received a letter from Xu Qian, saying that she would marry Xu and return to the Du family, and that she would be tortured by her mother-in-law, and if she was not virtuous, she could also let Du Chen divorce and remarry.

Mrs. Du still didn't want to see it, her son was innocent, and he didn't deserve the reputation of promising to divorce his wife.

Xu Qian wrote again that her father Xu Gucheng was about to be promoted, and he might return to Beijing in half a year, and if he didn't marry the Xu family now, he would have no chance in the future.

Mrs. Du hesitated for a long time before agreeing.

Even if she agreed to come to Xu Mansion to take a pick, she still looked down on the promise, and even disgusted it.

promised not to leave at this time, and Mrs. Du couldn't say anything about Nacai, so she had lunch first.

The Lu family asked people to set the meal, and a few maidservants came up, lightly set up the food table, and made a cloth chopstick for the three people.

There are gourd soups, cooking utensils, bazi meat, plum blossom buns, dried dried meat, ginger bean seeds, Xia Yue hemp curd chicken skin, and hemp drink fine powder on the food table, and the amount on the promised food table is obviously more than that of Lu and Mrs. Du, and the cook who wants to come to the Xu family also knows that she has a big appetite.

After taking a few bites, he suddenly found that he couldn't eat it, only to realize that he had eaten the two bowls of wonton noodles before, so he put down his chopsticks after eating a little.

When the maidservant took away the mouthwash and removed the food table, Lu Shi immediately asked with concern: "Liuniang, why did you eat so little today." ”

The food is silent, and when the meal is made, Lu Shi wanted to ask several times, but he couldn't bear it because of his consistent eating habits.

Xu Yu was speechless, she couldn't say that she was full because she was hungry and ate two bowls of noodles after visiting the kiln today, nor could she say that Mrs. Du was in a bad mood here and couldn't eat, let alone that she was not feeling well, so the Lu family would be more worried.

After hesitating for a long time, he said: "The child is greedy, and he ate a plate of snacks before coming, which makes you worry." ”

After hearing this, Lu Shi relieved his heart, smiled, and asked the maid to bring a cup of sauce.

When Mrs. Du heard the promise, she suddenly came to her senses and asked Lu: "Does the sixth lady eat more on weekdays than today?"

If it is usual, the snacks on the food table are promised to be eaten all, but today I only moved a few chopsticks, and the food difference is not a little bit. But Lu Shi would not say that his daughter ate too much, but smiled and did not answer.

Mrs. Du wanted to ask again, but Aunt Du walked in, looked at Xu Promise and said reluctantly after giving a salute to the Lu family: "Sixth Lady, would you like to go with me to see the peony flower?"
