Wanlan went back to the old house in Zhenjiang on the second day of junior high school, and specially put the huge ring on her hand and picked out pink satin clothes to wear, so as to show her mother's family that her husband treated her very well, and asked them not to worry. But Xie Huaian didn't believe her pretending appearance, and asked Wantian in private: "How does the Chen family treat Sister A?"

Wan Tian knew what Wan Lan meant, but she didn't want Wan Lan to swallow those bitter waters alone, she touched her nose, looked left and right uncomfortably, and said: "Brother-in-law treats Sister Ah very well. ”

Xie Huai'an understood the hidden meaning of her words, and his eyebrows immediately wrinkled. Wan Tian tugged at his wrist and called in a low voice: "Brother, it's good that you know, what can you do? Even Mother can't do anything." ”

Xie Huaian pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

Wan Tian said again: "I didn't shorten Sister Ah in terms of food and clothing, but Mrs. Chen is not as intimate as our mother-in-law, so I have to ask Sister Ah to cheer up and entertain her." Brother, don't be impulsive, Sister Hengzhu and Brother Yuji don't go back to Yangzhou for many years, and they can't socialize for a few days all year round. Can't you see what Sister Lan meant? She doesn't want to make a fuss. ”

Xie Huai'an let go of the corners of his mouth and sighed heavily: "I don't believe that Brother Yuji can't see what kind of character his mother is. ”

Wan Tian looked at her reproachfully: "Do you know what kind of character your own mother is? If your sister-in-law says that your mother has mistreated her, do you believe it?"

Xie Huai'an didn't expect her to say such a thing, and was dumbfounded for a while: "Mother...... How could a mother be harsh...... Mistreating Zhen Zhen?"

Wan Tian asked rhetorically, "How could Mrs. Chen treat Sister A?"

Xie Huai'an was stunned in place, speechless for a long time, and Wan Tian sighed softly: "Brother Yuji also thinks like you." ”

They didn't say two words, and the girl in the house came out to shout, Wan Tian went back first, and when she stepped on the threshold, she was just in time for Wu Xinyi to come out, and greeted her with a smile.

Wu Xinyi is a little thinner than when she first got married, but she can't show it against the backdrop of the thin and ruthless Wanlan. Xie Huai'an is very macho, before he got married, his mother and eldest sister took care of his housework, and after he got married, he had a wife to replace his eldest sister, so he never asked much.

Wu Xinyi didn't know what to do, and when he walked around, he saw Xie Huai'an standing in place around the corner, and before he could open his mouth, he laughed and walked over to greet him: "What are you doing?"

Xie Huai'an smiled back at his wife: "I just said a few words to Ah Tian, and when I remembered something, I left to meet my mind." ”

If she wanted to put it aside, Wu Xinyi would definitely ask for details, but she didn't ask this time, she just answered, and urged him to go back to the second hall: "I have to bring Sister my morning stewed cup, she hasn't tasted my craft yet." ”

Xie Huai'an held her hand: "Sister will definitely be full of praise." ”

Wu Xinyi's smile deepened, Xie Huaian thought she would reach out and touch her face, but she didn't.

Wanlan praised Wu Xinyi's diligence in the second hall, and said: "I listened to the second aunt in the capital before, the Fu Xiangguo of the former Qing Dynasty, the continuation of the string, the new wife's mother's waist is extremely hard, and even Queen Xiaoqin often enters the palace to speak. ”

Mrs. Qin interjected: "The family that marries her daughter has to have an enmity with this blessed country?"

Everyone in the room laughed lightly, Wanlan waved her hand, and continued: "There is more cola, saying that there are more hams stored in this blessed country, and I am afraid that it will be broken, so I specially told my wife to steam some to eat before going to the yamen, and when I return home in the evening, the house is full of ham." It turned out that the wife was wrong and sent someone to steam all the ham. ”

Xie Huai'an smiled: "It's all steamed, are you done with one meal?"

Wanlan smiled: "I just couldn't finish eating, so I had to take it to the yamen to distribute it to my colleagues, and this matter just spread." The second aunt also said it to her uncle, saying that 'this is not the favor of Zhongtang, but the great favor of Mrs. Zhongtang'. ”

Xie Daozhong listened with a smile, and said to Wanlan: "Fortunately, we don't have such a wife in our family, and we haven't sent such a wife to other people's families." ”

Xie Huai'an nodded thoughtfully: "Extremely, I see that there is no grandmother in our seven houses who has the same good cooking skills as Zhenzhen." ”

Mrs. Qin nodded at him: "Don't be ashamed, others haven't opened their mouths yet, but I'm going to boast first." ”

Xie Huai'an's eyes were aimed at Mrs. Qin's face, trying to capture the emotions that appeared in her eyebrows and eyes in an instant, and to judge her attitude towards Wu Xinyi. But Mrs. Qin always showed the same expression from beginning to end, it seemed to be an impeccable mask, and it seemed to be true from beginning to end.

Wanlan waved her hand and said, "Don't exaggerate, beware of Xinyu's thoughts, and when I go home, I'm going to learn to cook." ”

Chen Ji smiled: "Coincidentally, I also have this mind - I'm afraid that you will think about it, and you will toss me to cook every day when you go home." ”

The whole hall was full of laughter, Wu Xinyi rushed in with a tray at this moment, and a group of girls rushed in behind her, and put two cups on the plate in her hand, and personally presented them to Xie Daozhong and Mrs. Qin, and the girls held them one by one to the young lady and young master present. Wanlan took a piece of silk and put it in the palm of her hand to insulate the heat, held the spoon reservedly and put it in her mouth, tasted the product, and asked Wu Xinyi: "This is the taste of Shandong?"

Wu Xinyi nodded: "Sister can't get used to drinking?"

Wanlan hurriedly shook her head: "I have never eaten Shandong food, and the taste is different from our Zhenjiang." ”

Xie Daozhong said: "Northern cuisine has a heavier taste, and you can taste it well when you get used to it." ”

Wanlan smiled: "What's the point, wait? This will already taste good, Zhenzhen, just now your husband praised you, saying that our family has seven mansions, and no grandmother has good cooking skills like you, strange I look at him for a while He seems to have gained a lot of weight, it turns out that the wife of the family raised him too well." ”

Mrs. Qin smiled and looked Xie Huai'an up and down: "Since Zhen Zhen has good skills, then don't hide it in the future, I want to treat me to a treat after a while, you can also cook, take a dish out and teach me to have a long face." ”

Wu Xinyi hurriedly and modestly: "I don't dare to say it with a long face, I just hope that I don't spoil the excitement of my mother and distinguished guests." Who's Mother going to invite?

Mrs. Qin said: "I wanted to invite it a year ago, and I haven't been able to spare it, but I happened to visit relatives in that family during the year, and I wanted to come to Zhenjiang, just in time for this one." This person also knows that it is the Zheng family in the countryside. ”

Several people present knew Mrs. Qin's idea, and even if a few of them changed their faces, Wan Tian bore the brunt of it, and she couldn't even hide it.

Mrs. Qin lowered her head and drank the soup, pretending not to see it, Xie Daozhong stood up directly, casually pulled an official document as an excuse, and went out. Wan Tian saw her parents' attitude, and she was also angry, so she confessed and went back to the inner garden.

Mrs. Qin raised her head at this time: "It just so happened that Ah Lan came back and also helped your sister with her staff officer, the person I picked for her may not be as good as your Chen family, but it is not far behind, and it is also a serious family of poetry, books, etiquette and righteousness." ”

Chen Ji said: "My mother-in-law is serious, my family is not enough, my father-in-law took care of me at the beginning, so I let me climb our Miss Lan." ”

Mrs. Qin laughed: "It's still the eldest aunt who can speak." ”

Chen Ji then asked: "It's just that I see that Ah Tian seems to be reluctant, has she met the son of the Zheng family? What, not satisfied?"

"Marriage matters, parents' orders, matchmakers' words," Mrs. Qin said lightly: "What do you want her to have a little child to join in." ”

Chen Ji and Xie Huai'an glanced at each other and said: "You can't say that, if Ah Tian is extremely reluctant, then this marriage must also be carefully planned, so as not to create a pair of resentful couples, but hurt the harmony of the two surnames." ”

Mrs. Qin said, "What is she reluctant to do? She has never even seen the young master of the Zheng family." ”

Chen Ji let out a long "um" sound: "Then let's see it first." ”

Serious words are all spoken to the elders, and when the elders are not there, the young people have their own set of rhetoric. After lunch, Xie Daozhong and Mrs. Qin went to rest, and the young men and women took the initiative to get together and went up to the Wanlan Embroidery Building to ask for peace. The fastest to come is Wan Tian, the "living fairy" has recently been dragged into the mud by the fireworks in the world, and his emotions are embarrassed and ruthless.

Wanlan comforted her a few words, and then asked Chen Ji, "Have you been in touch with George?"

Chen Ji had a look of embarrassment on his face: "When he left, he promised that he would come back......"

Wanlan said angrily: "Can you believe this empty tongue?"

Chen Ji sighed: "George doesn't seem to be a person who can break his word, but I'm afraid that he will be tripped over in Britain." ”

Wan Tian's eyes were red, and her eyes were about to accumulate moisture: "Blame me for this life!" Even if you send it here, I'm afraid it will be a trouble over there, or just follow my mother's wishes, at least my mother-in-law won't be so difficult for me." ”

What she said was angry, and Wanlan hurriedly comforted her: "This time it's not a serious discussion, it's just that the two elders met first, don't worry, we still have time, if George comes back smoothly, doesn't it mean that his side is settled?"

Wan Tian didn't speak again, but turned her face away.
