Chapter 106: Tea Party

The matter of the third young master of the Wang family has been talked about for a while, and it is not malicious, everyone just thinks it is very interesting, don't say that others have no sympathy, when Wang Jilin was tied up by Wuhua back that day, but it was seen by many people. Looking at the appearance of the young lady of the Qi family, this escape from marriage is not worth it at all.

In the blink of an eye in April, spring is strong, the Shen family is busy preparing for the tea party that will be held in two days, and the delicate tea sets have already been placed in several warm pavilions in the large garden, which is a place for the invited lady and lady to rest, and in the hall in the front yard, according to the instructions of the old man Shen, the screen has already been erected, and several kinds of famous teas have been placed, and there are special tea-making tools on the side, and the side of the screen is a good seat for the guests on the list listed by the old man Shen.

Shui Ruoqian followed Yan's search for a week, confirmed that there was no problem, went to the old man's courtyard to report to him that everything was ready, the old man Shen stood in front of the birdcage and teased the bird, picked up the broken rice grains on the side and threw a few in the cage, watched the bird come down from above to peck at it, walked to the desk with a cane, took the booklet in Yan's hand, took a general look, raised his eyes to look at Yan, and said expressionlessly, "You have arranged this tea party well, and your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can complete it." "

It was written in the booklet that the things to be responsible for on the day of the tea party were all taken care of by the Yan family, and there were no names of Second Lady Shen and Chu Yiyao among them.

Yan didn't expect the old man to mention this, all the things in the house in the past so many years have been arranged by himself, and it is just a matter of respecting him to go through the form, how can he suddenly have an opinion now.

Yan was about to ask, but Old Man Shen relieved her confusion, "The daughter-in-law of the second family has always been careless, so you used to worry about it alone, but now that the second daughter-in-law has entered the door, you can also let the two daughters-in-law share some of these things for you, the tea party is such a big thing, how can the two of you be busy coming, is it possible that the second daughter-in-law does not have this charge to make you feel trusted." "

When Yan Shi heard this, there was nothing on his face, and his heart was already uncomfortable, today is the tea party to divide some things, will the things in this family be divided into the second room another day?

"Dad, this time the matter has been arranged, and then let the steward hand it over, I'm afraid that Shixuan's daughter-in-law won't be able to get started for a while, next time there is such a thing, I will remember to take her and Ruoqian to teach together." Yan smiled and responded to Old Man Shen's words, and left the matter of the tea party over, but Old Man Shen let her fool her so easily, took the booklet and flipped through it carefully, and directly ordered, "The affairs of the inner house will be handed over to you and Shijin's daughter-in-law, Yiyao She has dealt with a lot in the business house in the past, so leave the matter of the front hall to her." "

What kind of guests are there in the front hall, it is too cheap to let Shixuan's daughter-in-law go there, Yan categorically disagreed, so she showed a touch of surprise on her face, as if she had just woken up from a dream, she looked at them very embarrassedly and said, "Look at my brain, I forgot such an important matter, fortunately, my father reminded me, Yiyao can take care of some big gardens for me, I am afraid I can't take care of it alone, and it is not suitable for her to go to the front hall of a woman's house." "…

Chu Yiyao received an order from the Guan family in this way, asking her to go to the big garden to help on the day of the tea party, saying that the eldest aunt sent someone to say it, Chu Yiyao listened to Li's mother's explanation, her expression was a little subtle, she was going to the big garden to be the ladies to chat?

The Yan family naturally would not hand over any important things to Chu Yiyao to do, in order to prevaricate Old Man Shen, he directly asked Chu Yiyao to accompany the ladies in the big garden, and if there is any need, he can take care of it in time.

"Mother Li, didn't the eldest lady say that everything has been arranged?" It stands to reason that on such a day, it is not that the sister-in-law should go out more to accompany those ladies to enhance the relationship, why should she go.

"The eldest lady has made arrangements, but after going to the old man's yard in the morning, she sent someone to inform the second lady in the afternoon." Mother Li told everything she had heard, Chu Yiyao frowned, and it was the old man who said something.

Mother Li saw that her expression was not right, and suggested on the side, "Actually, it is not unreasonable for the eldest lady to do this, now that there are two more grandmothers in the house, they naturally want to help together." "

Chu Yiyao suddenly looked at Mother Li with a smile, "Mother Li, do you think the eldest lady is the kind of person who will fake her hands on others, especially the second lady and me." Mother Li was stunned, and a cold sweat broke out on her back when she asked this.

Who in the house doesn't know that the eldest lady doesn't like the second room, but who dares to say that these are clear things, waiting for the old man to pass away, this family must be the eldest lady and they are in charge, and now that the young grandmother mentions this, Mother Li doesn't know what to say.

"Since she is not that temperament, this matter will not be what she wants to do, so how can it make sense, Mother Li, do you say?" Mother Li nodded again and again, always feeling that the second young grandmother was more frightening to laugh than not to laugh.

"Mother Li is an old man in the house, and the tea party must not be the first time to experience it, if there is anything to pay attention to, I still need to mention it when the time comes." Chu Yiyao put away her smile and commanded lightly.

Mother Li hurriedly responded, "Grandma, don't worry, you won't let grandma go wrong." "

Li's mother left the house, Bao Sheng walked in, holding two letters in her hand, one was written by the sister-in-law, and the other was the news that she heard, the sister-in-law was full of things about the Chu family in the letter, everyone mentioned that the second sister-in-law is now three months pregnant, and the most nervous person in the family is the second brother, Qiao Cong'an joked in the letter, worthy of being a brother, when she had a body, the eldest brother with a calm face would also show such panic.

Ying Zhu began to follow Uncle Zhong to learn about things in the business house, and for three days, she yelled that she wanted to come to the Shen family to see her. At the end of the letter, Huaishan was mentioned, and there were not many words, but Chu Yiyao could also see that what she said to her sister-in-law at the beginning was somewhat useful.

The second letter was that Chu Yiyao went out some time ago to ask Baosheng to find someone to inquire about the news of the second uncle's house, and it had been a long time, and the letter was thick and detailed.

The shop next to the boudoir has been open for more than three months since January, and it was opened by the second uncle and the second aunt themselves, and the business is not bad, even if it is imitated, the price is half cheaper, and there have been many people who have bought it. The reason that will stimulate the second aunt to come forward to open a shop is that the second uncle has married a flat wife.

Originally, Chu Miaoluo married into the Cheng family and had a strong in-law, Chu Hanlin should have had a big boost in business, but Chu Miaoluo has never had a body since she gave birth to her daughter, and Mrs. Cheng's reminder to her son that Chu Hanlin didn't bite a bite of the fat meat of her in-laws.

With Chu Hanlin leaving the Chu family firm to set up his own business, it was really good at first, but gradually, the money was not easy to make, it should be said that Chu Hanlin was not satisfied with the status quo, when he came to Jinling, he was determined to make a big career like a big brother, how could he succumb to a few shops.

So Chu Hanlin married another flat wife, and the reason for giving the Xiao family is that you failed to give birth to a son for me to inherit the lineage. has been a husband and wife for more than 20 years, and only now can she say that she has not been able to pass on the ancestry, this reason Xiao does not believe, but there is no way, she does not have a maiden family to help her husband.

The key is that Chu Hanlin's wife is still a widow, an only daughter, only in her twenties, she followed her husband in business in her early years and never had children, and later her husband died of illness, and she had no in-laws, so she lived alone in a few shops, and her mother's family also did a small business in Jinling.

Chu Hanlin's marriage not only obtained all the property of the widow's husband's family in the past, but also the things she inherited from her mother's family in the future.

Chu Yiyao read most of the letters, and no longer knew how to express her feelings for the second uncle, a widow who lived in a simple place, how did the second uncle hook up, and let the family be willing to marry him with her husband's things, the second uncle is really not old!

No wonder the second aunt will jump over the wall in a hurry and go to open a shop without knowing anything, the flat wife and heirs are not the point, the focus is on who can help the second uncle more, the second aunt can only stand firm in front of the second uncle if she can make money, even if she has the ability to have sex, the widow is more than ten years younger than her, one is old and decrepit, and the other is still in her prime.

Chu Yiyao continued to look down, and saw news about Chu Miaoluo and Chu Miaolan on the last two sheets of the letter.

Among them, Chu Yiyao saw a long-lost name, Bao Chan, after Chu Miaoluo deliberately ruined Li Ruoqing's face, this maid who opened her face and made a room was punished by Chu Miaoluo and rushed to do miscellaneous labor, and after doing miscellaneous labor for half a year, I don't know what method was used, so Li Ruoqing asked Chu Miaoluo to ask people to leave, and then she has been staying in Li Ruoqing's yard, and now she is pregnant.

Chu Miaoluo regretted it, because now the Cheng Mansion is a person who is pregnant with Cheng Shaopeng's child, Bao Chan is a concubine after all, and if he gives birth to a son, even if the child is a concubine, he is the only grandson of the Cheng family now, and it is a great benefit to raise it in anyone's name, but now such a good card is not in his hand.

Chu Yiyao directly showed Bao Sheng the letter about Bao Chan, and his eyes fell on the star fruit branch that grew just right outside the house. Why did she care so much about Bao Chan in the first place, the person who did Bao Chan in the previous life was not Cheng Shaopeng, but the second brother. Chu Yiyao knew that she was not a good person, and kept her just to let her go to Cheng's house.

was able to successfully climb the second brother's bed under the condition that the second brother was so heartfelt, became his concubine and gave birth to a son, such an ability is now placed in the Cheng family, and it really did not disappoint her.

The two ladies of the Cheng family are trying to raise this child under their own names, I don't know if they have ever thought about the person who is a mother, whether they are willing to ...

Two days later, the Shen family tea party.

The door opened early in the morning, and when they arrived, the guests increased one after another, Chu Yiyao and Shui Ruoqian received the ladies who came in the big garden, and there were maids in the warm pavilion to serve and cook tea and eat.

These are all from the families of those tea merchants, and the Yan family has a tea business in everything, and the Yan family has posted posts, many of which are for the Shen family, so without waiting for Chu Yiyao and the others to come forward to say hello, those ladies greeted them first.

The two new young grandmothers of the Shen family meet guests for the first time, anyone will be curious, most of the ladies are courting Shui Ruoqian, she is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family, and she is the future mother of the Shen family, and it is always good to have her eyes.

Chu Yiyao didn't fight for this sub-title, and silently took a few steps back, but someone still noticed her.

A woman of the same age as Qiao Cong'an looked at her with a smile, and when she saw her turn around, she called out to Miss Chu.

"Our lord and the Chu family also have business dealings, so I often hear the lord mention you." The lady did not surround Shui Ruoqian with everyone, but spoke to Chu Yiyao enthusiastically, "When our lord mentions you, he always boasts, if there is such a daughter, he is worth it!" ”

"It's all the love of the uncles, and Yiyao is ashamed." After listening to this, Chu Yiyao knew that this Master Yang had business dealings with the Chu family for only the past two years, no wonder she had never seen this Mrs. Yang.

"You are still modest, the tea set that you came out in March this year, when our master went, there was not much left, so he simply didn't sell it, and directly collected two sets by himself, and gave the rest away." Mrs. Yang was very talkative and said while laughing.

"I know a little bit about that tea set, but I was just trying the water, so I didn't do much." Mrs. Yang mentioned the tea set was asked by Uncle Zhong to do it before she got married, and she didn't do much and didn't let people place orders in advance.

Mrs. Yang said and took a look in the warm pavilion, her eyes fell on the tea set prepared for the tea party, and then looked up at Chu Yiyao, with a touch of doubt in her eyes, the Shen family has such a family, why don't you use the porcelain of the Chu family, it is much more elegant than this.

This kind of matter between her own family members Mrs. Yang naturally would not be stupid enough to ask, and she talked to Chu Yiyao about other things, and soon it was time for luncheon.

Everyone arrived at the banquet hall and sent someone to take Mrs. Yang to the arranged seat, Chu Yiyao walked outside the house to find the Guan family, and the two ladies next to him walked by, and a few words drifted into Chu Yiyao's ears.

"This old man didn't even arrange for his eldest grandson to go to Luoyang, what did he think."

"Who knows, the second young master doesn't know what this old man has to look at, I heard our master say, the eldest young master's face changed."

"Originally, of course, this kind of imperial tribute matter was handed over to the eldest grandson, isn't it a mess."

Chu Yiyao stopped in his footsteps, one of the two ladies stopped talking when he saw Chu Yiyao, and pulled the other one into the banquet hall quickly, Chu Yiyao looked at their backs, and a bad premonition surged in her heart, and whispered a few words to the peacock behind her, and turned to walk towards the scholarly courtyard.

Not long after returning to the Academy, Shen Shixuan, who had sent a peacock to call, came back, and saw Chu Yiyao sitting on the couch well, breathed a sigh of relief, went to sit down next to her, looked at the solemnity on her face, and said with concern, "Is there something uncomfortable?" ”

Chu Yiyao turned to look at him, held his hand, and asked, "I just heard that other ladies mentioned the matter of Luoyang Huanggong, is it related to you?" ”

Shen Shixuan didn't expect her to know so quickly, touched her face comfortingly, and said with a smile, "Do you know so fast, this time Huanggong, grandfather asked me to go, and I will leave in ten days." ”

As soon as the words fell, Chu Yiyao grabbed Shen Shixuan's hand tightly, a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes, and blurted out, "I can't go!" ”

Shen Shixuan was stunned, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, Chu Yiyao realized that he was too emotional, withdrew his hand, lowered his head to remove the confusion in his eyes, and explained, "I mean, this is a few months, I can't bear you." ”

"Fool." Shen Shixuan pulled back her slightly trembling hand and said with a smile, "You can follow me to Luoyang." ”

Chu Yiyao just wanted to say no, but she didn't say it when the words came to her mouth, she couldn't stop Shixuan from going to Luoyang, but the imperial tribute caravan that went to Luoyang in the previous life encountered a mountain collapse, and the dead and injured injured injured many people.

She didn't know how the people sent by the Shen family in her previous life avoided this disaster, and she would never let Shi Xuan take this risk in this life, so Chu Yiyao raised her head and looked at him, her cheeks were still flushed, and she agreed shyly, "Okay, I'll go to Luoyang with you." ”
