Chapter 652: Tea Party
Qin Hanzhen reminded in time. Within two days, Xu really took advantage of the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, Yu Xinlan, to ask for peace, and instructed: "You are now our daughter-in-law, relatives and friends should be more close, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can also find someone to discuss, and relatives and friends are also willing to lend a helping hand to you." You have already seen the relatives of our own family, but a few in-laws are not very familiar with them. Find a good day another day, hold a tea party at home, and invite the Xu family, the Yao family, the Min family, and your mother's family to get together. ”
The Xu family didn't mention the Lu family because Qin Youzhen had already taken her youngest son back to Changlu. This time, when Qin Youzhen came to ask for her resignation, she only talked to her younger brothers, brothers-in-law, nephews and nieces. At that time, the Xu family was still asleep, and Qin Youzhen didn't wait for her to wake up and said goodbye to her in person, so the Xu family couldn't even stop her. There is only one Lu Chuming in the Lu family to stay in Beijing, but he is a person who has already decided on family affairs, and often goes to the grandson's house of the Yue family to ask for teaching. Even if Xu could see him, he couldn't beat his idea, so he could only secretly choke his hands in his heart.
As for the Xu family's proposal to hold this small gathering between relatives and friends, in fact, the purpose is quite obvious to introduce the Xu family to the people of Shoushan Bofu, and at that time, they also plan to let Yu Xinlanduo get close to the Xu family sisters. The prince of the Yu family has not yet married a wife, but his status is too high, and the Xu family does not expect the current Xu family to be able to climb this family business, but Shoushan Bo always has closer sons and nephews, right? Even if Xu Xiu can't climb the ranks of a young talent, can't even Xu Lan climb a concubine? If the Shoushan Bofu can't climb up, what about the Min family? The Min family has been quite prosperous in the past two years, and many of its children have good positions and are optimistic about their future. Although she is a military general, Xu Lan is a concubine, and she has nothing to find fault with. Uncle Xu said to Grandma Xu that he had long been optimistic about Xu Xiu's family affairs, but he didn't mention that Xu Lan's family affairs also had eyebrows?
Xu felt that he still had to work hard for his nieces and granddaughters. Even if it is a family affair, it is a good thing for Xu Zheng to have the opportunity to meet the younger generation of Shoushan Bofu and brush up his good feelings in front of Shoushan Bo in the future. On weekdays, Qin Jian didn't get a lot of guidance from his father-in-law in his homework. If Qin Jian hadn't refused to take Xu Zheng to visit the Yue family, she wouldn't have bothered to think about it.
Yu Xinlan didn't know if she heard Xu's intentions, and before she could respond, Yao Shi preemptively said, "Madame is right, Brother Jian's daughter-in-law really has to go to the elders to ask for peace." I'll leave this matter to my daughter-in-law. As for the tea party, let's wait until Mrs. is better. If it's cold today, what if the lady blows the wind and gets cold? Your old health is important, why don't you wait until next year's spring flowers bloom before you post to invite someone? This daughter-in-law will never dare to let your old man take risks!"
This dismissed the matter categorically.
Xu glanced at Yao Shi unhappily, and said angrily: "You are afraid that my body will not be able to stand it, then I will not participate." Brother Jane's daughter-in-law has already entered the door, and relatives and friends are going to bow down anyway. As you said, it's cold right now, and it's going to snow at some point. At this time, you should take Brother Jian's daughter-in-law and go to the house one by one, and what if you get sick from the wind? You are willing, but I am still reluctant to my eldest granddaughter-in-law! Wouldn't it be more leisurely to invite everyone to your home, find a warm and warm house, burn the kang, put up a stove, and get some flowers and plants, and enjoy the flowers while drinking tea and talking? If you put it off any longer, what should you do when you call Brother Jian's daughter-in-law for the New Year? On the day she got married, she wore a red hijab, and she didn't know how many people she knew. On the day of the meeting, only the closest relatives were there, and those relatives and friends did not come to the house. If, during the Chinese New Year, she sees any family member who doesn't know anyone, she will make a joke! Wouldn't it be easy to hurry up and hold a tea party while it was not too cold today?"
The Yao family is bent on scolding her mother-in-law, of course, it is impossible to make Xu's wish come true. But she knew that she was too ruthless, and she would make her daughter-in-law see the joke, so she rolled her eyes and simply agreed to the matter: "Madame is right." In this case, I discussed with Brother Jian's daughter-in-law to see which day the weather was good, and then I would hold a tea party. ”
But in fact, who can say for sure which one has good weather? It is not very proper to decide to hold a tea party on the same day without pre-booking the date, and just post it on the same day. If someone else has something to do, they won't be invited.
The Yao family has calculated that if the weather is good one day, the Xu family's room says that they are free to come, and she will let her own mother's Yao family claim that they can't come because of something. With one less of the three in-laws, there is a reason for the tea party to be postponed. Push and push, and there will be no shadow. When it snowed heavily, it was inconvenient to say that the snow was heavy. When it comes to the wax moon, it is natural to be busy preparing for the New Year. What about the New Year? I still have to be busy with Qin Jian Enke's preparation. When Enko ends next year, there will naturally be other reasons to delay. Yao's wishful thinking has been resounding, and no matter what, the Xu family can't be allowed to take advantage of their daughter-in-law's mother's family! The resources of Shoushan Bofu should be exclusive to her son!
Yao seemed to be obedient, but Xu couldn't hear the cattiness in her words? It was not good to scold her daughter-in-law in front of her granddaughter-in-law, for fear of losing the dignity of her elders. She also needs to win over her granddaughter-in-law and coax Yu Xinlan to contribute to the Xu family, so naturally she must speak as kindly as possible. Xu had no choice but to smile reluctantly and said: "Since you agreed, you have to pay attention, ask someone in advance, and see which day the weather will be good, and then post to a few in-laws in advance." Don't drag it out, it's no longer the case. Those who know you know that you were tired a few days ago and deliberately want to be lazy, and those who don't know think that you don't care about your relatives. ”
Yao pulled the corners of his mouth and laughed dryly: "Madam is so funny." Then his face sank, and he didn't even want to do superficial work.
Yu Xinlan always had a faint smile on her face, just standing aside and listening to her mother-in-law and mother-in-law coming and going, without saying a word, she looked like a well-behaved little daughter-in-law. In fact, she remembered Qin Hanzhen's reminder in her heart, and planned to go back to her own yard for a while, so she turned out an autograph painting that Qin Hanzhen had praised earlier and sent it to Qin Hanzhen, which was regarded as thanking the latter for the reminder.
The Xu family privately sent the girl who was a confidant to the Xu family to send a letter, just to remind the people of the Xu family that when the tea party post of the Chengenhou Mansion was delivered to the door, they would come to participate no matter what, even if there was a big event, they would have to let it go. This is a good opportunity for Xu Zheng to get to know the people of Shoushan Bofu, because they are all in-laws of the Qin family, they can be more close, and they don't need to be introduced, they can speak directly. Such a good opportunity, missed, I don't know when it will be again.
The person who sent the post to Xu's house was intercepted by the Yao family as soon as he left the courtyard gate of Songfeng Hall. But she just asked the girl a bunch of words, and after figuring out what the Xu family was going to pass on and return to the Xu family, she let her go. If the Chengenhou Mansion doesn't hold a tea party, it's useless for the Xu family to wait no matter how anxious they are, so let them wait! The people in the second room are not at home, and the Yao family doesn't even want to greet the people in the second room of the Xu family, and they don't plan to let anyone surnamed Xu enter their own house at all.
The Xu family received the letter, and their reactions were different. It is better for the people in the second room of the Xu family to be invited, and it is nothing if they can't be invited. They are not up to the nobles of the Shoushan Bofu, and they have already met the Min family and the Yao family many times. Qin Hanzhen and Qin Jian's wedding, they are all guests, and there is no shortage of opportunities to meet one or two times. Anyway, Xu Rong is by Qin Shutao's side, and the future is promising. The son is good, and their officials are doing steadily, so there is no need to expect too many things.
But Xu's family room was extremely happy, and felt that this was a rare opportunity, and Grandma Xu also personally reminded her son Xu Zheng, so that he must remember to go, even if he made an appointment with someone at that time, he had to reschedule.
Xu Zheng frowned and said: "I have been in good contact with several seniors such as the second son of Gui recently, thanks to their refusal to give up, pointing me to a lot of knowledge, and also determined to get together from time to time. If the tea party hits the deadline, I can't really break the contract. Although Shoushan Bofu is noble, one or two gatherings do not represent anything. Whether or not I can go to high school next spring depends on my own learning. Second Prince Gui is the one who really helps me, how can I put the cart before the horse?"
Grandma Xu was so anxious that she stomped her feet: "You kid, why don't you open your mind? Isn't Shou Shanbo's knowledge not good? Can't he instruct you in your homework? Shou Shanbo's son is also a young talent, and if you talk more together, you will also be beneficial." You see, Brother Jian has been mixed with Shoushan Boshizi for a long time, and he almost won the Jinshi in the spring of this year. You are already smarter and more talented than Brother Jian, and you have more dealings with Shoushan Boshizi, where will there be a reason to fail the exam in Ming Chun?!"
Xu Zheng said helplessly: "Shoushan Boshizi also has to rely on himself to take the exam. When his grades were not good, he also gave up the palace exam like Brother Jian. He is the same as I am. It is impossible for Shou Shanbo himself to attend such a small tea party, and I went in vain, so let's meet more with Gui Ergongzi and them. ”
Grandma Xu wanted to persuade her again, but Uncle Xu stopped her: "You just don't have to say a few words." The second son of Gui is also very important, once and a half tea parties, if you don't go, you won't go. My aunt will always think of another way for us. What's more, the date of this tea party has not yet been decided, and it may not be able to bump into the day when Brother Zheng and Gui Er Gongzi will meet. If you can stagger it, won't you quarrel with your son in vain?"
Grandma Xu was right to think about it, so she calmed down and said to Xu Zheng: "Okay, since you think the Gui family's side is more important, use more heart." Remember to tell Gui Ergongzi more good things about the family. In this way, when he sees your sister next year, he will be more willing to come to the door and ask for kiss. ”
Xu Zheng frowned, lowered his head and replied in a low voice, but he was ashamed and ashamed in his heart. 2k reading web
