After settling down, the Cui family made a special trip to the best restaurant in Lin'an City to banquet Zhao Shicheng's family to express their gratitude, and the Zhao family returned the favor to the Tang family, and the location was not the inn restaurant but the Zhao family.

On the day of the invitation, Tang Wan followed.

After entering the Zhao family, the first thing that catches your eye is the courtyard of the Zhao family, an open and bright flat land, the yard is planted with magnolia and pomegranate, and there are two osmanthus trees in the corner of the courtyard, which are not blooming at this time, green and oily, and look vibrant.

According to Tang Wan's visual measurements, the Zhao family occupies an area of about two acres, which is much smaller than the Tang family in Shanyin. Sure enough, it is the capital where every inch of land is valuable, and the Zhao family, who is as rich as the Zhao family, can't buy a large piece of land in Sixi Hutong, not that they can't afford it, but they can't buy it! Two acres is already very good, and the Tang family's house is even smaller than the Zhao family!

Several people looked at each other as they walked, and Zhou looked at Tang Wan's cold appearance, and felt extremely complicated in his heart. Her son she knew that she was almost fascinated by Tang Wan, Zhou had never seen Tang Wan a few times, and she didn't know Tang Wan, but because of Zhao Shicheng, she formed a lot of groundless conjectures ~ imaginary images in her mind.

Tang Wan should be a bewitching, coquettish and lovable vixen; It should be a pure and lovely green tea on the outside, but full of scheming on the inside; The long-sleeved dance should be demagoguery, but it can be a pleasing courtesan without traces!

In Zhou's view, the last two points are the most terrifying! A woman who fascinates her unconsciously and uses her anytime and anywhere will make Zhao Shicheng fascinated

In Zhou's heart, Tang Wan should be such a person, she can't say anything wrong, but she doesn't like it from the bottom of her heart!

But Tang Wan in front of her didn't say that she was active and enthusiastic, she didn't even have the most basic politeness to flatter, she looked soft and weak, gentle and polite, but it was not the same as she imagined!

Tang Wan didn't know that Zhou was secretly commenting on her, and this time she came to Zhao's house to play soy sauce to meet the situation!

"Mrs. Zhao, it's late tonight, we've been bothering for a day. I'm going back, thank you, Madame, for your hospitality! Cui said goodbye to Zhou with a smile.

"You're welcome, sit down a little longer, it's still early!" Zhou was busy retaining.

"Nope. There's something going on at home! Cui Shi said.

Cui said goodbye to Zhou, and Tang Cheng also finished talking to Zhao Zhongxiang! Zhao Shicheng will send them back, and it has just been dark.

******

After contacting the Zhao family, Cui began a new round of socializing - visiting neighbors.

As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and they are new to the city. I don't know anything about the situation here, who are the people living next to it?

The reaction given by the neighbors is very important, and their attitude towards the Tang family directly affects the future relationship. If the neighborhood is harmonious, it is the best, if there is something that needs attention, such as strange and villainous...... Then you have to be careful, you should be far away, you should be far away.

Mama Wang carried gifts with peonies and lilies, handed over Tang Cheng's name post, and spread the news of Tang's stay all over Huaishu Hutong in one day.

Some people returned the gift. Euphemistically said that they would visit the door when they were free, and some directly replied that they would come to the door tomorrow.

After Mama Wang came back, she wanted Cui's to report: "The family who lives in the east of our house is surnamed Gao, and the tall man is about the same age as our master, and he is the head of the city defense department, and he is a five-grade official. To the west of our house is Lord Huang, who was a Jinshi six years ago, and now he is a young man who is a young man who is a young man. To the south is the Wen family, the right Shilang of the six products, and the north is the Song family. Like the old man, he is the fourth product, and now he is the secretary and supervisor. ”

The officials of the first to fifth grades are called the first grade, and the sixth to ninth grades are called the first grade. Mrs. is from the rank of husband, so there is a saying of "Mrs. Destiny". The official institutions of the Song Dynasty were complex and bloated, so there were many officials and many edicts.

On the second day, Mrs. Gao, Mrs. Huang, and Mrs. Song came to the door one after another, and Mrs. Wen asked the maid to reply to the post, saying that she would come to visit in two days.

Cui beckoned a few people to sit down. Present the prepared big red robe.

Dahongpao is produced in Wuyi Mountain, southeast of Qixiujia, Fujian Province, and the tea tree grows in the rock crevices, and has the reputation of "the king of tea". It has the fragrance of green tea and the sweetness of black tea, and is the best oolong tea in China and one of the top ten famous teas.

Mrs. Song picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and praised: "Good tea!" ”

Mrs. Huang smiled: "Yes, it smells terrible, this is a big red robe, right?" Although it is a question sentence, there is a determined look on his face.

Liu smiled: "Mrs. Huang has good eyesight!" ”

Mrs. Song said lightly: "The smell is quiet, the fragrance is clear and refreshing after inhalation, and the fragrance on the tip of the nose is lingering, where can you not see such a good red robe?" ”

Liu was not embarrassed at all, and praised with a smile: "Mrs. Song is a master of tea tasting, and the concubine worships it!" ”

Mrs. Song smiled and shook her head: "It's nothing!" ”

Tang Wan could see that this Mrs. Song was a very thoughtful, self-conscious, and well-educated person. Mrs. Huang didn't talk much, and she looked very gentle and easy to speak. What about Mrs. Gao?

Tang Wan couldn't help but look at Mrs. Gao, and there was a problem with this look! Mrs. Gao's face was surrounded by depression, faintly tinged with a hint of gray, and Tang Wan chuckled in her heart!

The Great Witch Sutra. The "Divination" has a record of face-to-face: "The face is gloomy, and depression comes." It is advisable to stretch your mind and avoid anger! "It seems that Mrs. Gao has not had good luck lately, and bad things are about to come.

Liu Shi thought for a moment and asked, "What hobbies do the ladies have on weekdays, and what do they like to do?" I usually embroider and embroider, sometimes I want to do something else, but I can't, if the ladies have any good crafts and things, can you teach me and take me to play, Mrs. Gao, what do you say? ”

Mrs. Gao said with a smile: "I usually manage the housework, watch the children, and sometimes touch two pai gow with the ladies." Madame, don't learn from me. ”

Hearing this, Tang Wan guessed: Could it be that Mrs. Gao will lose a lot of money? A lot of money, a lot of money to bankrupt Mrs. Gao!

Cui Shi said: "Don't you dare to be Mrs. Gao's 'madam', the dog is just a lifter, she has not been admitted to the Jinshi, and she has no official body, you can call her Lingying." ”

Liu smiled: "Exactly! Don't dare to be! ”

Mrs. Gao said with a smile: "Ling Lang is a person at a young age, and it is not a matter of time before he is a jinshi, and after two years of spring, maybe there will be another jinshi!" ”

Yes, very good at talking! Tang Wan looked at Mrs. Gao, but unfortunately she didn't know what bad things would happen next, should you remind her?

Cui Shi said: "To borrow your auspicious words, parents want their children to be successful, but rules are rules and cannot be overcome." Thank you, Mrs. Gao, for lifting up. Let's call her Lingying. ”

Seeing that Cui's understanding of etiquette, Mrs. Song nodded secretly in her heart, this person can make friends, so she said, "Mrs. Tang is right. Mrs. Tang. Lingying, I'll call you like this in the future. ”

Liu said with a smile: "Mrs. Xie, it should be like this, I listen much more down-to-earth!" ”

Seeing that this matter was over, Mrs. Huang smiled and interrupted: "This tea is so good." Give me another drink. ”

Lily refilled her with water.

Everyone gossip, Mrs. Song was the first to get up and say goodbye, saying that there was something at home, and Cui's was not good at keeping people, after all, it was the first time to invite people, and it would be good if people were willing to come, and there would be more opportunities to get along in the future, so Liu sent people out.

Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Gao also thought the same, sat for a while, and then got up to say goodbye.

See Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Huang walking together. Tang Wan's thought of stopping people was dispelled. Forget it, if you say something unpleasant when you meet for the first time, forget it, people don't necessarily believe it, let's wait for the next time!

The first time I had a smooth relationship with my neighbors, Cui Shi sighed: "It's okay, it's okay, these people seem to get along well, but I don't know how Mrs. Wen is?" ”

"Mother don't worry, it'll be fine!" Tang Wan said with relief.

On the second day, Cui took Liu to visit Mrs. Song's house, and on the third day, he went to Mrs. Song's house. On the fourth day, I was going to Mrs. Gao's house, but Mrs. Wen handed over a post the day before saying that she was going to visit, so on the fourth day, Cui's Liu family entertained Mrs. Wen at home.

Mrs. Wen is a northerner with a bold personality. She apologized first for not being able to come a few days ago, saying that it was because there were guests at home who could not go out, and asked Cui's forgiveness. He also said that as neighbors in the future, they should come and go often and help each other.

Cui Shi was not used to Mrs. Wen's way of speaking, but she didn't say anything, although she didn't like Mrs. Wen's expression. But people don't have a lack of character at present, and they still have to have a good relationship.

On the fifth day, Cui's returned visit to Mrs. Gao, but Tang Wan did not follow.

Mrs. Gao sent a maid to ask Cui the next day: "In two days, our wife is going to the Jokhang Temple to offer incense, and I want to ask you if you are going, if you do, our wife wants to invite you to go with you." ”

Cui Shi thought about it, agreed, and asked Tang Wan to go with him. Tang Wan was not interested, but when she heard that Mrs. Gao was also with her, she agreed with a concern in her heart.

In this way, the mother and daughter took Tang Yunxiao and Lin Jiafu to meet Mrs. Gao.

As soon as they met, Cui's introduced to Mrs. Gao: "This is my daughter Tang Wan, grandson Tang Yunxiao, and granddaughter Lin Jiafu." ”

Tang Wan took two small ones to salute Mrs. Gao.

Mrs. Gao gave Tang Wan a white jade bead, and Tang Yunxiao and Lin Jiafu each gave a sachet, and several people thanked them generously and accepted it.

Mrs. Gao pointed to the two little girls behind her and said, "My two daughters here, the eldest daughter Gao Mingzhen is fourteen years old, and the second daughter Gao Mingzhu is eleven years old. ”

The eldest lady of the Gao family is tall, with beautiful facial features, and there is a kind of elegance of a scholar in her gestures, gentle and elegant, generous and calm, with a bookish atmosphere and a very temperament. The second lady of the Gao family has a round face and almond eyes, combing a double bun, and looks lively and cute. The two girls, one gentle and beautiful, the other innocent, are very beautiful.

Gao Mingzhu stared at Tang Wan, and wanted to come over and take her hand and get close to her, but her mother was next to her, she didn't dare! I could only look at her, and the curiosity and joy in my eyes were very obvious.

Tang Wan felt her gaze smile at her, Gao Mingzhu was very happy, and also opened her mouth and smiled brightly at her.

Tang Yunxiao snorted coldly and said in a low voice: "Fool! What a laugh, ugly to death! ”

Gao Mingzhu was far away, Tang Yunxiao's voice was low, only Tang Wan who was standing beside him listened to it, Tang Wan glared at Tang Yunxiao fiercely, and the meaning in her eyes was very clear: Don't make trouble!

Tang Yunxiao glared back: It's just stupid!

Tang Wan: Don't get into trouble!

Tang Yunxiao: Don't worry, I'm not interested in such a stupid girl!

Tang Wan:

"Get in the car! Wan'er, Xiao'er. Liu interrupted the exchange between the two.

So they each boarded the bus.

Jokhang Temple is worthy of being a world-famous Buddhist holy place, people come to incense in a steady stream, especially today is the Buddha Bathing Festival, everyone comes to bathe in the light of the Buddha, hoping to get the glory of the Buddha and the Bodhisattva, and be guided by them.

Cui's donated sesame oil money, begged for a peace charm for everyone in the family, and specially asked the master about the feng shui town house, the Tang Mansion was going to be expanded, and she wanted to buy a treasure for the town house.

The old monk gave her a statue of Pixiu, the base of which was engraved with the four characters of the treasure of the town's house; He also gave her the signature pendant of the Jokhang Temple, a pendant with a unique shape - the pendant is engraved with the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, the Xuanwu, and the four sacred beasts of China

Just such a pixiu, a pendant, the old monk asked for Cui's three hundred taels of silver, Tang Wan really didn't want it, not because it was too expensive, but because she felt that it was not worth it, but unfortunately Cui's didn't think so. It can only be up to her!

Mrs. Gao worshiped Guanyin and asked for a statue of Guanyin, and she actually asked for three hundred taels! Mrs. Gao is nearly forty years old and has no children, and I don't know how many pictures of Guanyin she asked for, but it didn't work.

The old monk said that she was not sincere enough, how could a picture compare to a statue? It was precisely because she didn't ask for the statue of Guanyin that the descendants were delayed, so Mrs. Gao gritted her teeth and bled heavily, asking for a statue of Guanyin to send her son.

Seeing Mrs. Gao's joyful and infinite longing look, the corners of Tang Wan's mouth twitched, and she walked to her side: "Madam, have you had any troubles lately?" ”

Mrs. Gao was stunned for a moment, and smiled a little reluctantly: "It's nothing!" ”

She refused to say it, and Tang Wan also understood, who would tell people who had just met him in his heart? But

"Madam, there is a saying that I said don't be angry, the words are not good, but I don't mean anything else." Tang Wan thought about it and felt that it would be better to remind her.

"You say!" Mrs. Gao was a little puzzled and looked at Tang Wan suspiciously.

"You have been unlucky recently, and you will encounter some bad things, please pay more attention to the things around you, and relax your mind to get through this catastrophe." Tang Wan said.

Bad luck? Mrs. Gao was not happy when she heard it, but Tang Wan had already said that it was not good to hear and she had been vaccinated, and Mrs. Gao was not angry, so she brought it out on her face, and reluctantly replied with a stiff face: "Thank you, I will!" ”

Could it be that what she asked for would be in vain again, Tang Wan's words are really not a good sign! Why did she say it, why did she listen? How good it would be if I didn't hear that! (To be continued.) )
