Yueyao originally thought that this was just a gossip, but she didn't expect that this memorable turmoil would soon spread to Mafu.

On this day, Mrs. Tong came to Mafu. Mrs. Tang saw that her daughter was no longer as smart as before, but had a sense of twilight, and felt uncomfortable, and after hesitating for a long time, she said: "Daughter, a few days ago, a deputy lieutenant surnamed Qu of the infantry army came to propose marriage. ”

Tang Shi was surprised: "Propose? The eighth sister is sixteen years old this year, and she has also reached the age of saying goodbye. Mother, is this song a step-wife? "The Tang family is a merchant family, and the surname Qu is an official position from Wupin, since he has come to the door to officially propose marriage, it is basically filling the house. Even if it is to fill the house, it is also a high climb for the Tang family.

Mrs. Tang lowered her voice and said, "No, that Master Chengye Qu wants to marry you." As soon as your father heard this, he asked the matchmaker to go out, but the mother looked at this family affair and said it. Mrs. Tang also felt sorry for her daughter, she was only in her early twenties and had to be widowed, and there were still decades to go, so she kept it day by day, and she felt distressed when she thought about it.

Mrs. Tang only gave birth to two daughters and no sons, and now the eldest son of the Tang family is a concubine, whether the Tang family can go further in the future, Mrs. Tang is not interested, she just wants her daughter to be obedient.

Tang's eyes widened, "Mother, are you mistaken?" ”

Mrs. Tang also inquired about the details of this song industry in the past few days, and said in a low voice: "This song is three years old in Chinese New Year's Eve, his wife has been dead for three years, he has two sons and a daughter, the daughter is a concubine, and the two sons are both concubines. The mother heard that Mrs. Qu gave birth to a daughter and injured her body and could not be reborn. That's why the concubine was allowed to give birth. Mrs. Tang just thinks that Qu Chengye has no son-in-law, if this family business can really make sense, her daughter can also get real benefits after giving birth to a sister-in-law after marrying.

Tang said with a serious face: "Mother, don't talk about this matter in the future, my husband has only passed away for more than half a year, and I want to remarry, what kind of person have I become." "Whether it's for her son or for Tang Jia, she can't remarry.

Mrs. Tang wiped her tears and said, "Daughter, you have to plan for yourself, you are still so young, and you will be old in the future!" You can't waste your life for fame. ”

Tang smiled bitterly: "Mother, I have a dowry and a son, and life is easy." "In the past, Tang didn't have any feelings about others earning a chastity archway for a lifetime, but now he has a deep understanding. It's okay during the day, but I always feel lonely at night, which is something that can't be said to the outside world, even if it's my own mother. Tang also understood that the chaste archways one by one had to be exchanged for countless cold and lonely days and nights of women. She didn't want it, but the reality made her have to accept her fate.

Mrs. Tang went back with a sad face.

Seeing that the Tang family disagreed, Qu Chengye actually asked someone to talk to Ma Chengteng. No matter how tactful the person who said the item was, it still made Ma Chengteng angry, his son had been dead for less than a year, and his daughter-in-law wanted to remarry before she finished her filial piety.

When Tang heard the housekeeper's mother-in-law come and tell her to pack her things and go home, she was stunned. This is not to let her go back to the Tang family for a few days, this is to send her back to the Tang family.

Su Zhu cried like a tearful man, "Madam, what the hell is going on?" "Okay, why does the master want to send his master back to the Tang family, is this to force her master to death?

Tang quickly regained her composure, crying could not solve any problems, and now she had to figure out why her father-in-law sent her back to her parents' house, if she was sent back to her parents' house by her father-in-law for no reason, her mother's family would definitely have no place for her, and worse, her son might not recognize her again.

Tang asked the housekeeper who was standing in the middle of the room, "Mom, I don't know why the grandfather suddenly sent me back to my parents' house?" I also ask my mother to tell me a thing or two about the love in the past few years. "Tang is not a strict person, and he is also very generous to his subordinates.

The housekeeper shook her head and said, "The old slave doesn't know. However, the old slave knew that the master was full of anger when he returned home, and it was estimated that something outside had annoyed the master. "According to the guess of the housekeeper's mother-in-law, it should be someone from the Tang family who provokes the master.

Tong's nails pinched into the shredded flesh. No, she must not leave like this, she may not even have a finger to look forward to leaving the rest of her life like this, and now her father-in-law is angry, she just can't see it if she wants to, and now the only one who can ask for help is Yue Shao.

Yueyao was embroidering a wedding dress in the wing room at this time. Since Yueyao came back, her attitude towards this marriage has changed greatly, and now she spends most of her time embroidering wedding dresses, which takes a lot of time, and the results are obvious. It has only been less than two months since I came back, and there is less than a fifth of the wedding dress left, and it will take another month at most to embroider the wedding dress.

The silk thread in Yueyao's hand ran out, and the drizzle handed it over, and the needle and thread that had been put on were handed over. Yueyao's speed is so fast, it is inseparable from the help of a few maids.

Xiang Wei looked at the lifelike mandarin ducks on the wedding dress, and sighed a little in her heart, where is this wedding dress, this is a pleasing work of art at all, "Girl, this wedding dress will be stored at the bottom of the box after it is worn, what a pity." "Such a good thing can only be revealed once, it's really outrageous.

Drizzle said on the side: "Sister Xiang Wei, when the girl gets married, she will definitely be able to cause a sensation in the city." "Even a first-class embroiderer can't embroider such a beautiful wedding dress, and the mandarin ducks one by one are as if they are alive.

Xiang Wei looked at Yue Yao hesitantly and asked, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen you move needlework, why are your skills so good?" This is what Xiang Wei has long had doubts, this embroidery, like painting, takes time to accumulate. Yueyao didn't take time with Ben, how could she embroider so well.

Yue Yao smiled, "I regard embroidering the wedding dress as painting, and the needle and thread in my hand as a paintbrush, so it will naturally look good." "She can embroider so well, in addition to the exquisite craftsmanship of the hemp embroiderer, she also has more than ten years of embroidery skills in her previous life. However, Yue Yao's words are not perfunctory to Xiang Wei, this painting can be embroidered so beautifully, and it is inseparable from her deep painting foundation.

Xiang Wei really wanted to say that Yueyao was crazy.

Xi Juan said with a smile on the side: "Sister Xiang Wei, this embroidery not only has to be attentive, but also talented. The girl is very talented in embroidery, and now she has spent so much thought, so she naturally embroiders very well. "Yueyao's wedding dress Xijuan is also a great effort, without Xijuan, she can't embroider so fast, but Xijuan also has self-knowledge, her embroidery skills are better than the girl, but she embroiders things without the girl's agility.

Yue Yao smiled and said: "Look at it, when I wear this wedding dress and go out, it will be a sensation, but no one will believe that I embroidered it myself." Yueyao is still very satisfied with her embroidery, but others don't believe it!

Xiang Weile said hehehe: "It doesn't matter if others believe it or not, as long as An Zhichen believes it." ”

Yue Yao pursed her lips, although she didn't smile, but this action showed that she was still very happy, "Whether it is embroidered by me or not, I believe he will like it," The bride's wedding dress, no matter who embroidered it, was worn by the groom's official.

Xiang Wei saw Yueyao's joyful expression, and also smiled, and didn't say anything more. Yue Yao lowered his head to embroider the wedding dress again, he turned around and went out, and as soon as he walked to the courtyard, he saw Tang Shi enter the courtyard.

Ma Chengteng wanted to send Tang back to his parents' house, this matter was so big, it was difficult for Hao's mother not to want to know, but Hao's mother didn't expect Tang to find the girl.

Xiang Wei shook her head when she heard this, and sent her daughter-in-law, who had just lost her husband, back to her parents' house for no reason, is there anyone more confused than Ma Chengteng? Anyway, Xiang Wei seems to be gone.

Yue Yao heard Ruocui's advice, put down the needle and thread in hand, and walked out, Yue Yao looked at Tang's red eyes, and said in surprise: "Sister-in-law, what happened?" "Even if Ma Yue is dead now, but the Tang family is also the wife of the family, and no one in the Ma Mansion will definitely dare to bully her.

Tang said that Ma Chengteng was going to send her back to her parents' house, "Yueyao, my father-in-law loves you the most, sister-in-law just begs you to help me ask what happened?" ”

Yue Yao hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

Xiang Wei felt that Yueyao should not meddle in this matter, "The housework of the Ma Mansion should not be taken care of by the girl." "This kind of housework, outsiders are really not suitable to meddle, not to mention, Yueyao is still a junior.

Yue Yao didn't want to bother with the affairs of the Ma Mansion, but this matter was very strange, "Let me ask what the hell is going on?" If it's a question from my second cousin, I won't talk too much. "Yue Yao also knows the Tang family, is very shrewd, and is also very good at scheming. Although this kind of shrewdness made Yue Yao a little disgusted, because of this, Yue Yao didn't think that the Tang family would do anything beyond the norm, the most likely thing was because of the Tang family, but if this was the case, the uncle would handle it too casually.

Yue Yao looked at Ma Chengteng, who was still in a rage, and did not beat around the bush, and directly relayed the words entrusted to her by the Tang family, "Uncle, what did the second cousin-in-law do wrong, and you want to send her back to her parents' house?" ”

Ma Chengteng was a little irritable, "You don't have to meddle in this matter." Thinking of what the man said, Ma Chengteng didn't fight when he was angry, less than a year after his son's death, his daughter-in-law thought about remarrying, what did such a heartless woman keep for.

Yue Yao said helplessly: "Uncle, if you want to punish someone, you have to let people know what's going on, and the second cousin is sent back to her parents' house in a daze, what will the Ma Mansion think about this matter?" Uncle, you should also think about Brother Pei. ”

Ma Chengteng finally told Qu Chengye about inviting someone to come to the door to propose marriage.

Yueyao's face was ugly, her uncle was really a mess in handling housework, he took things for granted, and he didn't think about the consequences at all, no wonder Ma Fu would become the laughing stock of the capital before, it was really this uncle who was too confused, "Uncle, the second cousin is not such a person, there must be an internal cause for this matter." "Yue Shao is sure that this matter has nothing to do with the Tang family, the Tang family is a smart person, the difference between the Tang family and the Ma family is too great, and the Tang family still has to borrow the power of the Ma family, so they will definitely not agree to her remarrying, well, take 10,000 steps back, the Tang family will not think about remarrying now, even if they want to.

Ma Chengteng snorted coldly, he didn't want to say anything he guessed in front of Yueyao.

Yue Yao said helplessly: "Uncle, the second cousin-in-law has been married to Mafu for more than seven years, and she has a good relationship with the second cousin, how can she think of remarrying as soon as the second cousin dies?" Uncle, you should investigate this matter, you can't wronged your second cousin-in-law. Yueyao intuitively felt that Qu Chengye was not a good one, even if she wanted to marry, she shouldn't be looking for someone from her husband's family with such fanfare, and she didn't know how to put her second cousin-in-law on the stove to roast!

Ma Chengteng was told by Yueyao, and he also calmed down, speaking of which, the two daughters-in-law are good, and there is nothing wrong with them. The eldest daughter-in-law didn't talk about it, the second daughter-in-law was very attentive to her son and grandson, Ma Chengteng listened to Yueyao's suggestion after thinking about it and asked people to check on the matter.

When Tang heard that it was Qu Chengye who asked someone to intercede with his father-in-law to marry her, his heart was terrified, Tang clenched his hands at the moment, and said in a low voice: "Yueyao, I have never heard of such a person. ”

Yue Yao didn't want to make a big deal about it at that time, it wouldn't be good for anyone to make a big fuss, "Cousin-in-law, my uncle has already sent someone to investigate, and I believe that I will be able to return your innocence soon." "Actually, Yueyao said that the Tang family is still young, and it is understandable if she really wants to remarry, but she and the Tang family are not good enough to say such things.

Yue Yao sent Tang out of Begonia Garden, turned her head, and showed a smile at the corner of Wei's mouth, "Tang is lying, she must know this Qu Chengye." Even if you don't know each other, you should have heard of it. ”

Yueyao didn't ask how Xiang Wei knew that Tang was lying, "Whether she knows it or not, I believe she definitely doesn't know about it, and she's not stupid, even if she wants to remarry, she has to keep her filial piety for at least three years, and she won't mention remarrying at this juncture." ”

Xiang Wei sneered: "The Tang family is twenty-four this year, and it will be twenty-six in two years, and a man with some ability will not marry such an old woman." "In Tang's eyes, those with poor conditions can't look down on her, and those with good conditions can't look down on her.

Yue Yao shook her head, "It's not something we can manage. "It's good that she can manage herself and Tingzheng, where is there time to take care of others.

Ma Chengteng's people quickly found out the cause and effect, and it turned out that this Qu Chengye had overheard the Tang family's virtuous name, so he moved his mind.

Ma Chengteng is not a three-year-old child, how could he believe such nonsense.

Ma Yuan said his guess, "Master, although this Qu Chengye is an official position from Wupin, but his parents died early, except for a house, there is no property left, and now the family is living on a good fortune, I think this Qu Chengye wants to marry the second lady, I am afraid that I heard that the second lady has a rich dowry, so I moved my mind." "The second lady not only has a rich dowry, but also is very good at business, which may be why people are eyeing her.

Thinking of this, Ma Chengteng affirmed that this Qu Chengye was coming for Tang's dowry, otherwise with his official position as a five-grade person, it would not be a problem at all to marry a yellow flower girl with an ordinary family background.

Ma Chengteng didn't mention the matter of letting Tang go back to his parents' house, but Tang was sick.

Yue Yao complained to Xiang Wei: "Fortunately, the eldest cousin is not like an uncle. "I knew about this kind of thing as soon as I inquired, but my uncle didn't go to investigate the cause and effect, but instead wanted to send the second cousin-in-law out of the Ma Mansion, which was ridiculous.

Xiang Wei disdained to comment on Ma Chengteng, "Isn't the eldest lady already on the way?" At most, I'll be back in half a month, and you will continue the affairs of the mansion first, and you should practice your hands. "The Tang family is sick and doesn't care, and now all the things in the inner courtyard of the Ma Mansion fall on Yue Yao.

Yue Yao shook her head helplessly.
