Tang and Liu Dongyan also greeted at the door, they mainly greeted the female relatives who came with them, let them go to the living room of the inner house to talk, and then go to the restaurant together when the banquet was held, but although Tang has changed into a new dress, but because she is poor all the year round, she has basically never been in contact with the women of rich and noble families, so she is always very restrained and will not speak, just smile reluctantly and greet "You are here, please sit inside." ”

Yang Xianmao was dragged by the owner of the Zhou Pavilion to meet with the owner of the medical hall and the shopkeeper of the pharmacy who came to congratulate, and he had no time to take care of the female dependents, and no one introduced her identity, so among these female dependents, they basically regarded her as an old mother who came to be in charge of the reception, and they just nodded politely, and did not talk to her, let alone speak flatteringly, and many people even walked in front of her very arrogantly, not looking at her.

At this time, a woman came out of the lively crowd with a maid and a box in her hand, but the woman was the wife of Tang's eldest uncle, Shi Laoda, she also heard that there was a Tang family said that the Xianmao Medical Center was opened, so she wanted to come and see what was going on, and after coming, she saw that Tang was really at the door, greeting guests, and the guests were very cold to her, and did not talk to her about anything, and no one called her an old lady or anything, and she was sure that her previous speculation was right, this old woman was the old mother pretending to be an old lady. A mischievous sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

She stepped out in front of the Tang family, and said loudly and exaggeratedly: "I'm here to congratulate the old lady, it's really a glory for your godson to open this pharmacy, you godmother is blessed, I have such a capable godson, I give you congratulations, old lady." ”

When she said this, her eyes were fixed on Tang, and she wanted to see her face swollen and red, very embarrassed. She hoped that Yang Xianmao would be angry when she heard it, and kicked her out of the door.

Tang returned the salute lightly, but just hummed and didn't speak.

Mrs. Shi saw that Yang Xianmao was talking to a few visiting medical hall owners over there, and she didn't seem to hear what she said here, so wouldn't it be in vain for her own side? ”

His voice was almost shouting at the top of his voice, and almost everyone in the audience heard it, and they all turned their heads and looked at him in surprise, including Yang Xianmao, her exaggerated and philistine appearance, couldn't help frowning, and immediately thought of what Liu Dongyan said before, so he guessed seven or eight points, apologized to several other hall owners, and then stepped over, helped Tang Shi and said, "Godmother, what's wrong?"

This "godmother" was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, shaking Mrs. Shi on the spot, glancing at Yang Xianmao blankly, and then at Tang Shi, who was silently looking at her, and stammered a little: "You, are you really his godmother?"

Liu Dongyan had already sent the previous wave of female dependents to the yard, and was taken care of by the mother-in-law who came over temporarily, and came out to greet her, so when she heard this, she saw her again, and immediately understood, and immediately stepped forward and said: "You really came—— our old lady's big day today, it has nothing to do with you, and I didn't give you a post, why are you here to join in the fun?"

After that, he reached over and grabbed Tang's arm, smiled at her affectionately, turned his head to Yang Xianmao and said, "It's this old pious woman who is bullying our old lady in the vegetable market." ”

Yang Xianmao sighed, looked Mrs. Shi up and down, and said, "You are the Hun's family of my godmother's former husband's brother, right? I'm sorry, I only worshiped my godmother, but I didn't worship you philistine relatives, and I didn't give you an invitation, I don't know what your purpose is today?"

Mrs. Shi's face was red and white for a while, and she couldn't wait to dig a hole in the ground, but fortunately, she had been in the market for a long time, and when she saw the posture of Yang Xianmao's pharmacy and so many people who came to celebrate and congratulate, she knew that this was a master who could not be provoked, and the godson of this younger brother and sister, if she really recognized this relative, then her own family would inevitably have many benefits, so she was cheeky and bowed, and said with a smile: "The son is the godson of the old brother and sister, then I will ask you to be a nephew." - The virtuous nephew should blame me, oops, it's all because we didn't have beads of eyes, and we didn't come to celebrate early, and we didn't get the news until today, so Baba prepared some small gifts and rushed over to celebrate, and asked the virtuous nephew not to blame. Over the years, my brother and sister, that is, your godmother, have suffered a lot, and blame us for not taking good care, but we are also a poor family, and we can only help each other in ordinary times, and there is no way to help more. ”

Yang Xianmao snorted coldly and said, "Presumably you didn't hear what I said just now, I only recognize me as my godmother, as for you, I don't know, I'm sorry." ”

This has been said very clearly, Rao is Mrs. Shi is thick-skinned, but also red all the way to her neck, begging for mercy looked at Tang, said: "Brother and sister, are you angry with us? Blame us for not moving around with you much, my sister-in-law has made amends for you, don't care, I still have to move around more in the future, I came today to make amends, you must smile at a little gift, otherwise I will kill me when I go back." ”

Saying that, she took out the box sandwiched under her armpit, inside was a copper hairpin, the workmanship was okay, worth a hundred and ten copper coins, she had already thought about it before, and made preparations with both hands, if it was really Tang's bragging, then take the copper hairpin to humiliate her, and don't send it away and bring it back.

Take 10,000 steps back, if this Tang clan really took shit luck and really recognized a rich godson, then this hairpin would be given out as a gift. - For these ordinary people, it is reasonable to give such a gift, but she didn't expect that what she thought was the most unlikely possibility was true, but fortunately, he had some preparations, and quickly took out the copper hairpin.

Liu Dongyan said: "Didn't you see our old lady wearing gold and silver? I will also take you this broken hairpin, you obviously want to laugh at our old lady with this, right? If you really want to give it, why do you want to send these things, even if you give goose feathers, it is also a gift, but you choose such a worthless thing to bring it, and you are obviously uneasy and kind." ”

Mrs. Shi knew that she was a maid, and her eyes immediately widened and she was about to attack, but seeing that Tang was very affectionate with this maid, this maid must have won the favor of Tang, if she scolded this maid, it would be equivalent to slapping Tang's face, and finally pulled down her face, and begged to take over this family, all her efforts were in vain, so she held back her anger, changed her smile and said: "You don't know this girl, it's not that we deliberately despise the old lady, but after all, the family is not good, and she can't get decent jewelry, so it really makes you laugh." ”

Tang said in a faint voice: "Sister-in-law, you are polite, but we have a lot of guests to invite today, and the seats are full, so there are really no extra seats, so I can only say sorry." ”

Tang was a kind-hearted woman, and although the other party was sneering at him, he was still unwilling to humiliate the other party when he was in power, and retaliated with a tooth for a tooth, so she still called her sister-in-law and gave her a step down.

Mrs. Shi also knew that it was impossible to recognize this family business immediately today, and seeing Yang Xianmao's frowning and disdainful look, she could only open the gap from the old lady's body later. And now that Tang gave her a step, she could take the opportunity to step down, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Yes, yes, we also got the news late, so we didn't come to congratulate earlier." It doesn't matter if you don't have a location, hehe, I'll go back first, talk to the old lady and the master, and we'll visit another day and congratulate you alone. ”

After that, he closed the box with the copper hairpin, and then gave Tang a blessing, and then gave Yang Xianmao a salute, but Yang Xianmao turned sideways and did not accept her salute, but Mrs. Shi said sorry with a smile on her face, and then withdrew from the crowd and left.

Liu Dongyan snorted and said to Yang Xianmao: "Young master, you didn't see how she treated our old lady in the vegetable market that day, and today you should let her make a fool of herself." ”

Yang Xianmao snorted, didn't talk about this topic anymore, and then turned to Tang and said, "Godmother, why don't you go inside to talk to them, it's cold outside, beware of catching a cold." ”

The family members who came with the hall owner and the shopkeeper who came with them finally understood that this gorgeously dressed old woman who was obviously a poor family behaved was actually the godmother of the owner of the new medical hall who had been strongly respected by the owner of the Zhou Pavilion, and they were all secretly ashamed. Judging people by their appearance, they missed the opportunity to stammer, so they hurriedly came over with a smile on their faces, took her hand, praised her for her wealth and glory, beautiful clothes, kindness and blessing, and kept praising her hand, ignoring her calloused and cracked hands.

Tang was a little uncomfortable with the sudden intimacy, and he didn't know what to do. After all, Liu Dongyan was the daughter of a big family, and she answered decently, helped the old woman to greet them, and beckoned them to go to the back room to roast and talk, so they went in together.

After entering, Liu Dongyan had already figured out why the previous relatives didn't do the same thing as these people in front of them when they came, it should be that they didn't know the identity of the old woman, and they regarded her as the old mother who received her, so after entering, he said loudly to the Tang family without a trace: "Old lady, the young master said, don't be outside, it's too cold, just talk to the ladies and ladies in the house, and then go over to eat together at noon in a while, the young master feels sorry for the old lady." ”

When the ladies in the room heard this, they immediately looked at each other, and immediately came back to their senses, it turned out that they mistakenly thought that the old mother who received them turned out to be the godmother of the owner of the museum. This relationship was not mentioned when the invitation was sent, so these people didn't know that the young and handsome owner actually had such a poor godmother. Although she was wearing a gorgeous dress, she looked like a poor family, but now she knew that she was a noble old lady, so she hurried over to praise and laugh for Tang's non-stop praise, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm.
