When Mrs. Xue told Shen what had happened, she sighed and said in a hoarse voice: "Old man, I have wronged you in this matter." ”

"Mother, what's this, I've been in charge of the big and small things in the house all these years, and I'm just a little tired, if the second brother and sister take over, I can rest and rest, and steal half a day of leisure, don't you say?"

Old Lady Xue patted Shen's hand gratefully and said, "Fortunately, you are generous," alas! The second daughter-in-law's heart is too ......

"Mother, you haven't known me all these years, and I'm not the material to be in charge of the house," I didn't know what to think, and said with some worry: "I just don't know if Xun's daughter-in-law can accept this." ”

Old Mrs. Xue only thought about whether the eldest daughter-in-law could agree, but she didn't think about her granddaughter-in-law, and when Shen said this, she was also a little hesitant: "This ...... This ......"

Seeing that her mother-in-law was embarrassed, Shen hurriedly comforted: "Mother, I'll tell Qing'er about this!" After all, she and I are very close. ”

"Okay, okay, then I'll trouble you."

"Look at what my mother said, how can a family say such polite words," Shen shook his head and said in a low voice.

I don't know how Shen said it to Tang Qing'er, but after the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked about it openly, they both pursed their lips and smiled.

A few days later, Mrs. Fu Ya sent an invitation to Mrs. Xue and Miss Xue to come to the house to enjoy the chrysanthemum, Shen told Tang Qing'er about it, Tang Qing'er's first reaction was that the Lord of the Mansion knew that the second aunt was back with the daughter of the family, and specially invited the people in the house to come over to talk about it, because he wanted to take the opportunity to contact the second aunt to contact him.

Later, Shen Shi knew her careful thoughts, covered her mouth and smiled and said to her: "You think too much!" This is a blind date, Mrs. Fu also invited other families, the elders of other families took the opportunity to see which unmarried girls, to understand the girl's temperament and appearance, and then to see if there is a suitable candidate among their sons or relatives, in order to achieve the purpose of matchmaking, this kind of invitation is often sent, the ability is common, and you will slowly get used to it in the future! ”

"Oh, that's it," Tang Qing'er was a little embarrassed, she was a gentleman with the heart of a villain, although she was not a gentleman.

Shen said: "Qing'er, you will go on behalf of your mother!" ”

"What! Mother, as you just said, they are all unmarried girls, but ...... I...... I...... I'm married! ”

"The invitation is marked by Mrs. and Miss, aren't you the young lady of Xue Mansion now, why don't you go? I am saying that you are going, and take the opportunity to get to know the ladies of the various provinces and deal with them. ”

As soon as Tang Qing'er heard that her mother-in-law was going to let her go, she still let her go alone, and hurriedly said: "Then how can it be, mother, you often participate in this kind of banquet, but my daughter-in-law has never participated once, if I let me go alone, I am afraid that I will say the wrong thing and cause other people's jokes, and I am saying that I will invite Mrs. and Miss Xue Mansion, you are not also Mrs. Xue Mansion, if you don't go, I won't go, I am afraid that I will make a fool of myself at that time." Tang Qing'er struggled for a while, but still truthfully said her heart.

The Shen family, who is idle now, really doesn't want to participate in such a banquet, but when she thinks that Qing'er is alone, if no one pays attention to her, she is really embarrassed, so she said: "Okay! I'll go with you. ”

After Tang Qing'er returned to the house and saw that Xue Qianxun was not there, she was depressed, so she could only say to Zhu'er and Lu'er: "The day after tomorrow, you want to go to the back garden of the mansion to enjoy chrysanthemums?" ”

Zhu'er thought about it and said, "Madam, are all the ladies in the house going?" ”

"Yes," married, unmarried have to participate in the blind date conference, married for the unmarried person, if there is a man, then the unmarried woman is responsible for attracting the attention of the man on the side, it is best for the two to look at each other, to have a lover sister, a hundred years of marriage.

After recent contact, Lu'er was obviously not afraid of the young lady, and was eager to try: "Madam, can you take me?" Afraid that Tang Qing'er shook her head, she hurriedly stretched out her finger to the heavens: "I swear, the day after tomorrow, I will listen to you and not make mistakes." ”

Tang Qing'er smiled: "It's not a big deal to take you there?" ”

Because this invitation was sent a few days in advance, Shen and Tang Qing'er prepared very much, since they wanted to enjoy chrysanthemums, that is, they were dressed to enjoy flowers, and they couldn't lose face.

The people in the second room also received the post, and the Jiang family discussed with the Shen family to go together, and on that day, a total of four carriages of the Xue Mansion drove behind the Daofu Ya, and entered through the back door, and the carriage was made to a special place by the small maid, and everyone went in through the door, and there were maids who took them over, and when they arrived in a lobby, they saw that there were many ladies and young ladies who had arrived, and the Lady of the Mansion was talking with a lady who was dressed very generously and luxuriously, and there was a young woman standing next to the Lady of the Mansion, and from time to time she was shy. Jiang Shi and the others came over, hurriedly greeted them, and introduced to everyone: "Let's see who is coming!" "The lady here often participates in such banquets, of course, I know that it is the Shen family of the Xue Mansion, and the Jiang family who has been living in Beijing for a long time, everyone greeted each other, and the lady of the mansion saw that the Jiang family came with all the women, waved her hand to let the maids come over, and handed them the prepared meeting gifts one by one.

In order to make friends with the ladies of the various families, the Shen family and the Jiang family also came over with the meeting gifts, and they didn't care about the daughters behind them, and went directly to the ladies to chat.

Tang Qing'er stood under a chrysanthemum tree, she didn't expect Mrs. Fu Ya to come over to talk to her, and she was a little flattered, but after talking, she found that this lady had a gentle face, spoke reasonably, and asked very decently, Tang Qing'er also said what she knew, and after a while, she saw Mrs. Fu Ya change the topic and asked: "I heard that your father-in-law is good friends with Zhao Zishu." ”

How to ask this question! With a flash of inspiration, Zhao Zishu was not married to the daughter of the government, and the future mother-in-law wanted to ask something from her mouth, and said after a while: "It's okay." ”

"Don't be afraid, I'm not here to inquire about Zhao Zishu's character."

Not for this why? Tang Qing'er hesitated for a moment and said, "Then ...... you?"

Mrs. Fu Ya did not answer, and called the maid behind her and said, "Take the young grandmother of Xue Mansion to the young lady's room in a while." ”

Tang Qing'er was surprised and didn't know why, why did she have to lead her to another place, her eyes looked around unconsciously, to see if there was a mother-in-law, Mrs. Fu Ya seemed to understand, took her hand and walked to a quiet place, sighed and said: "I can't hide it, I asked you to come this time because I want you to accompany my family Yanhua to talk," I have already heard people inquire, although this young lady of the Xue family is a peasant girl, she can marry into the Xue family from top to bottom, and Xue Qianxun takes her very seriously, and wants her to talk to her daughter, Teach her how to be a wife.

"Oh?" Tang Qing'er looked up at her a little stunned after hearing this, which caused Mrs. Fuya to chuckle.

Seeing her in a daze, Mrs. Fu Ya changed the topic and asked, "I saw you staring at the chrysanthemums just now, do you want to know why the chrysanthemums here bloom earlier than elsewhere?" ”

Even Tang Qing'er, who had a more flexible head, couldn't keep up with Mrs. Fuya's speech at this time, and nodded stupidly: "Think," I felt that these words swept the face of Xue Mansion, and said slowly: "When my mother's family just moved to the city, my father was a little unaccustomed to being idle for a while, and it happened that there were a lot of flowers planted in the yard at home, and my father wanted to pull them all out and plant vegetables, and he was afraid that the guests at home would see and laugh at his own old hat, so my mother asked my father to take care of the flowers and plants in the yard, and now my father made the garden, But there are no chrysanthemums in the yard at home, if you tell me the way, I will ask my father to plant a few in the yard next year. ”

"Well, as a child, I always think about my father, and it's a blessing for your father and mother to have a girl like you." Mrs. Fu Ya smiled.

"It's not a big deal, it's embarrassing to be praised so much by Mrs." Tang Qing'er's face was slightly red and said, in fact, what she said just now was half true and half false, but she wanted to know why the chrysanthemums in the backyard of this mansion bloomed earlier than other people's houses, and she didn't know how they came out.

Mrs. Fu Ya smiled and said: "Actually, it's not a way to cover up, this chrysanthemum will not bloom until the weather gets cooler in autumn, so some florists have thought of a way to put ice cubes and other things on the chrysanthemum side to cool down, so that they can bloom in advance." ”

After Tang Qing'er heard this, she smacked her tongue and said: "That's too wasteful, in order to make the chrysanthemums bloom early, you have to use ice cubes to cool down, so that the chrysanthemums can open in advance, but this is just an extended flowering period in advance, but thank you to Mrs. for telling me." "Rich people are really different, in order to make chrysanthemums bloom in advance, they spend a lot of money to concoct ice cubes.

Mrs. Fu Ya smiled, and Tang Qing'er hurriedly said, "Madam, then I'll go and see your family's daughter." ”

The maid pearl blessed Tang Qing'er, and then walked forward, Tang Qing'er followed behind, Shen came over, found an excuse to drag Qing'er out, and said unknowingly: "Why do you talk so much to Mrs. Fuya, I am very worried on the side, I am afraid that you will say something wrong and make her unhappy, so I give you a look, you don't even see it?" ”

"Mother, did you give me a look? Why didn't I see it? Maybe you were too serious when you spoke, and you didn't notice it all of a sudden! Tang Qing'er was afraid that her mother-in-law would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained, she really didn't see it, Mrs. Fuya jumped from one topic to another, she couldn't keep up with her train of thought at all, how could she notice others.

"So what are you going to do now?"

Tang Qing'er told her mother-in-law all the things that Mrs. Fu said to her and asked her for help, Shen lowered her head and thought about it and said, "Since it's not a big deal, you can go and have a look, but remember to bring your personal maid." ”

"Yes, mother." Tang Qing'er nodded and continued to follow behind Pearl, while Lu'er followed closely behind her.

Pearl took Tang Qing'er to turn left and right and finally arrived at Wang Yanhua's courtyard, after Tang Qing'er saw Pearl enter, her whispered voice came from the house: "Miss, Madame asked the slave maid to invite the young lady of Xue Mansion over and let you talk to her." ”

Tang Qing'er thought to herself: This is the opposite! Obviously, she came to talk to this young lady!

At this time, I heard Wang Yanhua's voice say gently: "Invite her in." ”

After the pearl came out, she said embarrassedly: "Young lady, my young lady invites you in." ”

Although the guest is as he pleases, he doesn't take her seriously, he doesn't even come out to greet her, let her go in by herself, and when she enters, Tang Qing'er doesn't forget to tell Lu'er behind her: "You just wait for me outside!" ”

Wang Yanhua saw the young grandmother of Xue Mansion coming in in a pale pink dress, and looked up at her appearance, which can be regarded as delicate! Hurriedly stood up with a smile and blessed his body and said, "Hello young lady,"

Tang Qing'er hurriedly replied, "Miss Yanhua is good." ”

Wang Yanhua said to Tang Qing'er: "Madame, please take a seat," and said to the maid behind her: "Hurry up and add tea to Madame." ”

Tang Qing'er smiled lightly: "Miss Yanhua doesn't need to be angry, this time Mrs. asked me to come over, to put it bluntly, she just wants me to talk to you." ”

With such straightforward words, Wang Yanhua was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The young lady has a good personality. ”

"Alas! Miss Yanhua doesn't want to laugh at me, and Miss Yan is not as old-fashioned as others say, so she said straightforwardly," Tang Qing'er thought about it and said: "I am saying that Zhao Zishu and my family have always been friends, and I also hope that after you and Zhao Zishu get married, the two of us can also be friends." ”

Wang Yanhua didn't think that this young lady of Xue Mansion actually mentioned Zhao Zishu, and couldn't help but flush, in the past month, I don't know how he bought the slaves around him, someone actually sent her letters every day, opened it to see that it was full of love poems, and I didn't feel anything after opening it for the first time, but after the thunderstorm didn't move, one a day, I unconsciously opened every letter when I had nothing to do, and my heart was slowly moved by the love poems he wrote.

Wang Yanhua whispered: "What the young lady said is true. ”

Tang Qing'er looked at the expression on Wang Yanhua's face, obviously moved, originally thought that Zhao Zishu was stalking, but he didn't expect the dog skin plaster to take effect quickly for a long time! coughed and said, "Don't hide it, Zhao Gongzi and I are still doing business together?" ”

"Huh?" Wang Yanhua opened her mouth in surprise, and then thought of the female ring, and sat up straight, not daring to show too much surprised expression, but her eyes were still asking her.

Tang Qing'er said slowly: "You know that Zhao Gongzi opened a shop and did a soap business!" ”

Wang Yanhua nodded, how could she not know that the maids in this house were all bought by him, and now each person has a piece of soap in his hand, and when she was enjoying the scenery in the house, she said to her: "Miss is really married to a good uncle, and when she is considerate to Miss, she will not forget us subordinates." Whenever she heard the maids say this, she was so ashamed that she wanted to go back to the house and never come out again.

Tang Qing'er continued: "This soap is considered ...... I made it with Zhao Gongzi, and when he opened the shop, he said that when the soap sold in the shop made money, he shared some of my profits. "The soap is actually made by her alone, but thinking that Zhao Zishu is still imagining Wang Yanhua, or deduct a credit to him, so that he has a taller image in Wang Yanhua's heart, as for the specific layering, it is inconvenient for her to tell Wang Yanhua, now they have not married, it is already a little early to say these things, but it is better to tell them, it is to have a friendship with Wang Yanhua!

Wang Yanhua saw Tang Qing'er tell her about Zhao Zishu 1510, and her good impression of her immediately rose several levels, and said shyly: "Then I won't call you young lady, it's a little rusty to call it like this." ”

Tang Qing'er thought: You don't call me young lady, do you call me sister Qing'er, but my age is not as old as you!

I heard Wang Yanhua say: "Although you got married earlier than me, but I should be older than you in terms of age, in private, I call you Sister Qing'er, okay?" ”

Of course! Tang Qing'er said loudly in her heart, but she said with panic on her face: "This is not appropriate!" You are an official lady, I am a businesswoman, and to call me this is to lose your identity. ”

"Poof, just now I praised Sister Qing'er's bold personality, why did she squirm so much."

Since everyone says so, they directly call her Sister Qing'er, if Tang Qing'er is prevaricating, she will look angry, and she will say crisply: "Sister Yanhua." ”
