Chapter 13: Passing Birthday (1)
In May, the sun warmed up, the earth was green, and it was the birthday of the old lady of the Tao family in a blink of an eye. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Tao Xiushui heard Qingzhu say that the front yard of Tao's Mansion was busy, and the maids and maids did not touch the ground.
Prepare food and drinks, set up tables and chairs, and prepare to receive guests.
A village and a piece of the village, all need manpower, can you not be busy?
In the entire Tao Mansion, I'm afraid only she and Qingzhu are two idlers.
Tao Xiushui has run out of ideas in the past two days.
Think about what this old lady will give for her birthday.
She must go to go, and as a granddaughter, she can't be rude.
For the past two days, she has been trying to wake up the demon spirit, but no matter how she screams, she is not moved, I don't know if this villain is tired or asleep, anyway, he will not wake up.
Now she has silver in her hand, and there is a lot of it, but she didn't have so much money to spend in the Prime Minister's Mansion before.
But now she is locked up by Mrs. Tao, and she has no monthly routine, and of course she will not have money.
So this money can't be spent.
However, if you want to celebrate the birthday of this old lady, it is even more impossible for you to go empty-handed as a junior, and it is not good to leave an unfilial mouth in front of everyone, you have to send something.
She's been wondering what she's going to give these days!
It's done, this will be an opportunity, a chance to make a name for yourself.
With fame, he will be valued by the Tao family, so that he can return to the capital.
You can't send material things in money, it seems that you can only send something else.
Tao Xiushui paid attention, and didn't wait for someone to invite him, so he led Qingzhu out on his own.
How to say that she is also a concubine, and the Tao family should not hide her.
But it is also impossible to ensure that Mrs. Tao has another idea in her heart, which is intentional.
If that's the case, she's really not going to be able to get out of the way.
"Qingzhu, where is the place where the old lady has a birthday?"
"Miss, you forgot, of course it's in the old lady's extended life."
"Oh, I forgot, we live closest to that, let's go around the neighborhood!"
Qingzhu looked puzzled, "Miss, aren't we going to pay homage to the old lady?"
"Go, why don't you go, but this kind of uninvited appearance is not very good-looking, wait and talk about it first"
"Miss......" Qingzhu wanted to say that no one would come to invite them at all, because the eldest lady knew best, the old lady never invited the young lady when he had something to do, not to mention that the old lady was not sick now!
"By the way, will the old lady come back?" Tao Xiushui suddenly thought of this.
"I asked, I heard that I want to recuperate, and I won't come back"
"That's it!" Although Tao Xiushui had long expected that these people would not let her see Mrs. Tao, she was afraid that this grandfather's illness would not be better.
Now it's best to meet someone to help her, and the effect will definitely be twice the result with half the effort.
By the way, and that Xiao An? It would be nice to meet this person.
During this time, Tao Xiushui had already visited Tao Mansion, and all the roads were remembered clearly.
She and Qingzhu bypassed the old lady's longevity courtyard and came to a secluded place, she wanted to find someone, but she could only find it in the dark.
The old lady of the Tao family is a birthday, and it is impossible for the Xiao family not to come.
With such a hot family, she didn't believe that Master Tao would not be invited.
However, Tao Xiushui didn't know, because she had told the secret of the Xiao family's cargo transportation, which caused an uproar in the Xiao family.
To the old man of the Xiao family, and down to the shopkeepers of various shops, they all began to feel uneasy.
Unanimously reflected on why their own secrets would be known to this little-known little girl, so everyone was waiting for this opportunity, waiting for the opportunity to see Tao Xiushui again.
When Mrs. Tao didn't arrive at the birthday banquet, the Xiao family had been thinking about meeting Tao Qiushui at this banquet.
So this time, five or six people from the Xiao family came in a row, ostensibly to celebrate Mrs. Tao's birthday, but secretly, they were all inquiring about Tao Xiushui's news.
Before going out, he specially instructed his eldest lady Xiao Lan'er to pay more attention to this Tao Xiushui, and it is best to have a deep relationship.
But the family came to Tao's house and walked around a few times, but they didn't even see half of Tao Qiushui's figure.
In the end, Mrs. Xiao had to open her old face and ask Mrs. Tao why she didn't see the daughter-in-law at home.
Mrs. Tao thought that she was talking about Tao Xiumei, and said happily on her face: "You always say that Xiumei!
Mrs. Xiao knew that this person was wrong, and hurriedly corrected, "No, I'm talking about the girl named Xiushui"
Mrs. Tao's thick eyebrows are deeply locked, last time she heard that Xiao An sent something to the dead girl, she ignored it, and now she saw that Mrs. Xiao took the initiative to ask this girl, could it be that the Xiao family didn't care about Xiumei or this dead girl.
That's not going to work, she's not going to say yes.
This dead girl has been good with the dead old man since she was a child, and the others are not close at all.
If this girl gains power, she will definitely not help the Tao family at all.
Thinking of this: "How did the old sister think of asking this girl to come, you also know that this girl made a little trouble last time, and she was disrespectful to your son, so since I beat her, I asked her mother to take her back to teach well, and when she is sensible, let her come out to meet people."
Mrs. Xiao heard this music, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, old sister, you see this trouble, last time it was my family An'er who was ignorant and misunderstood the Xiushui girl, this time I was thinking of taking this opportunity to let him personally accompany the Xiushui girl!"
"What? there is such a thing" Mrs. Tao's face was a little unbearable, she couldn't imagine that the Xiao family didn't even care about covering her face in order to see that girl, could it be that Xiumei really didn't have a chance.
Mrs. Xiao still explained with a good face, "It was my family's An'er's fault last time, I went back and let people teach me a good lesson, wronged the Xiushui girl, you will call her out in a while, let me accompany the old woman."
Mrs. Tao saw that everything was said about this, and she couldn't say anything more, so she had to send her mother-in-law to call someone.
She still didn't believe that the Xiao family would fall in love with that dead girl.
Mrs. Tao knew that the Xiao family was different from hers, they were a family with a backstage in the court, unlike their Tao family, which was a merchant with nothing.
The two families are both in business, and they occasionally come and go, and it is best for the Tao family to marry such a family.
This side is laughing and laughing, and people are also called Xiumei.
When it comes to appearance, no one can compare to beauty.
It took a lot of effort for the mother-in-law to find Tao Xiushui, and seeing that the clothes he was wearing were not successful, she hurriedly took her to change her set.
When everything was ready, he led the master and servant over.
Although Tao Xiushui didn't know what was going on, he was willing to accept it for him to appear in front of everyone without much effort.
When she reached the old lady's house, there was already a room full of guests.
Sitting at the top were two old ladies.
The one on the left was wearing a pomegranate red foil blouse, and looked a little similar to her father, Master Tao, with a slightly chubby round face, small eyes but very spirited, but the eyebrows and eyes were not very friendly.
Tao Xiushui guessed that this must be her grandmother, the one who disliked her the most.
The one on the right, dressed in sapphire blue brocade with several longevity clasps coiled on it, is smiling at this time, looking amiable.
She didn't know who it was, so she had to bow to Mrs. Tao first.
However, before Mrs. Tao could speak, the old lady next to her said:
"You're Xiushui! I'm Xiao An's grandmother, come over and let me have a look."
Tao Xiushui suddenly realized in her heart that the Xiao family could throw an olive branch to her so quickly, undoubtedly thanking her for her help that day.
