"It can be seen that this is the new daughter-in-law." Sure enough, as soon as Shu Manyao arrived in the living room, he was teased by Mrs. Wang: "When Jianbai went to court, he specially apologized to me, saying that you were not feeling well, and you haven't gotten up yet. ”

Shu Manyao's face was crimson, and she sat uncomfortably next to Mrs. Wang: "Aunt~"

Mrs. Wang saw that she was shy, and she didn't want to say too much, just like she said before, in the end, it was the new daughter-in-law. So, he changed the topic: "I want to go out for a walk today, this Cai family, what do you have to do with Haode people?" ”

"Auntie, don't worry, I asked the maid to ask yesterday, I think I'm here to inquire about something, you wait." Shu Manyao covered her face, let the red go down a little, and poured tea for Mrs. Wang with a smile: "What about Cousin Qingheng?" ”

"He went out, he didn't have any other hobbies, he liked to read a few books, no, I heard that there was a largest bookstore in the capital, and it passed early in the morning." Speaking of her son, Mrs. Wang's smiling eyes narrowed: "I don't want him to be more promising, he will seek fame or something in the future, as long as he can do what he likes to do." ”

Now the sage, the son of a merchant can also take the imperial examination. It's just that the Wang family is a big family, and as soon as the boy is born, he will fight for this property, and he will have less focus on studying, after all, this kind of thing is business, it doesn't mean that you can finish it with your mouth, you have to look at the account book to plan and do more.

Therefore, there are fewer people who read books.

Wang Qingheng is the only outstanding scholar in his life, so Mrs. Wang is very proud of this son on weekdays. Shu Manyao also heard Wang Shumin say this, so she praised Wang Qingheng a few words: "My cousin is really too wasteful to sleep and eat, but this reading is also about hard work, my aunt will be happy in the future, and my cousin will definitely have a great future in the future." ”

Mrs. Wang couldn't close her mouth, and when the mother-in-law and maids who went out to inquire about the news came back, they were not as angry as they were yesterday: "What did you inquire about?" The eldest girl of the Cai family, is her reputation really so bad? Is there anything hidden? ”

The mothers-in-law glanced at each other, and then looked at Shu Manyao, who coughed lightly: "If you say anything, my aunt is not an outsider, and I should let my aunt know about these things." ”

Mrs. Wang waved her hand: "Let's not talk about anything else, I just want to ask, over the years, Miss Cai hasn't married yet, is it because no one has come to the door to propose marriage, or is there another reason?" ”

One of the mothers-in-law stepped forward and replied: "Back to my aunt's wife, the slave maid inquired in person, in the past few years, someone also went to Cai's house to propose marriage, and the reputation of the eldest girl was not very fast at that time, but I don't know why, Lord Cai didn't agree." Later, Miss Cai's reputation was ruined, and no one came to the door to propose marriage, so Miss Cai has stumbled to the present. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Wang also hesitated a little, if it was because of Miss Cai's reputation, it would make sense. But if it's because Miss Cai refuses to propose, there's no problem.

"Madam, the slave maid still inquired about something." Another mother-in-law stepped forward, Shu Manyao nodded, motioned to her, and the mother-in-law saluted and said in a deep voice: "The slave maid heard the news, and the Cai family invited the official media to come to the door, as if they wanted to say goodbye to Miss Cai." ”

Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment, and Shu Manyao was also a little puzzled: "You said, the official media went to Cai's house and was about to say goodbye to Miss Cai?" ”

The mother-in-law nodded, and Mrs. Wang looked at Shu Manyao: "She really couldn't marry because of this reputation before, right?" It's not that you want to have a marriage contract with my Wang family? This Cai girl's reputation ......"

"Auntie, don't worry, maybe Lord Cai is seeing that Miss Cai is old, and you always don't come to the door to propose, so you are also a little anxious." Shu Manyao hurriedly comforted, and after a pause, she was a little puzzled: "Auntie, although Jiangnan and the capital are far away, if you want to communicate, it is not that no news can be passed on, since the Wang family has a marriage contract with the Cai family, how can it ......?"

Haven't been in touch for so many years? If the Wang family really wants to get married, then if they want to come to Miss Cai's ceremony, the Wang family will definitely have to send someone over, and then the two families will confirm the marriage again, and they will be able to marry after Wang Qingheng has performed the coronation ceremony.

But now, Mrs. Wang seems to have not been in contact with the Cai family for more than ten years, and she knows nothing about the affairs of the Cai family, so the two families are really in-laws?

Mrs. Wang moved her lips and sighed halfway: "Don't you know, in the early years, we were also connected with the Cai family, and Lord Cai would write a letter to our master from time to time, but later, Lord Cai married ...... Xuxian."

Shu Manyao blinked, what happened to Xu Xian again?

Mrs. Wang sighed again, she wanted to talk to Shu Manyao, but this was the matter of the Wang family and the Cai family, Shu Manyao was just a little girl's family, where could she come up with any good ideas?

"Speaking of which, I was rude, when I came to the capital, I didn't expect to go to the old lady in the house to say goodbye." Mrs. Wang smiled a little embarrassedly: "I don't know if the old lady will be free at this time." ”

Mrs. Shu is old and respectful, and she has an identity, this matter, if Mrs. Shu comes forward, it will be almost the same.

Shu Manyao also heard this, and hurriedly called her mother-in-law to go to Shu's house to ask.

When lunch was served, the woman came back and said that the old lady was idle at home. Mrs. Wang immediately prepared a gift and went to visit the old lady. Shu Manyao and Yang Jianbai began to ponder the matter of the Wang family: "At the beginning, my aunt came, and when it came to this family matter, I was afraid that my aunt would suffer, for fear that Miss Cai would be really unpleasant, but now I look at it, it seems that there is something wrong with the Wang family, and I didn't know what happened at the beginning, the two families are in-laws, and they haven't been in touch for many years." ”

Yang Jianbai was also a little curious, the two of them had nothing to do anyway, so they called the maids and women this morning, and asked them carefully about the news they had inquired about.

However, the Wang family and the Cai family were too strong to cover up, and the two of them didn't ask anything wrong after asking for a long time. Yang Jianbai stretched out his hand and pinched Shu Manyao's arm: "Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with our family, Miss Cai is a haode, this family affair is done, let's just send a congratulatory gift, Miss Cai is not good, the two families have withdrawn, and there is nothing to hinder us." ”

Shu Manyao pinched him dissatisfiedly: "Didn't I see you and your aunt close, so I asked a few more questions?" If Mrs. Wang had nothing to do with you, you thought I would have asked so much? Sister Wang has already been married, no matter what kind of woman Wang Qingheng marries, there is no obstacle to Sister Wang, so I don't bother to care about these things. ”

Yang Jianbai smiled, leaned over and kissed her twice on the lips: "Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing, the lady is all for my sake, I should be a lady, otherwise, I will give myself to the lady tonight to make amends?" ”

As he spoke, he also leaned on Shu Manyao's neck and bit it twice, Shu Manyao's face turned red, and he reached out to cover his neck: "Come on, it's hot this weather, and you can't wear high-necked clothes, if you do this again, do I still want to see someone?" ”

Yang Jianbai licked it twice: "Okay, then I won't bite." The family affairs of the Wang family and the Cai family, you don't have to pay too much attention to it, I only recognize one aunt to the people of the Wang family, and the Cai family has nothing to do with me, Wang Qingheng's family affairs, whether it succeeds or not are the affairs of the Wang family, it really doesn't work, I asked Aunt Qi to introduce Wang Qingheng again, you, just take care of the haode body, don't worry about anything else. ”

Shu Manyao glanced at him, what he said was good, in a big family, you only value a certain person, and the rest of the people have nothing to do with you, this is what you say, but the person you value also has more important people in your heart.

It's as if when she first returned to her soul, she couldn't wait to pinch Xu's mother and daughter to death one by one, but the grandmother and father she valued, and Shu Zheming in her heart, she had to take into account the feelings of her grandmother and father, and for Shu Zheming's face, she should be a little more restrained.

Yang Jianbai is a man's family in the end, and he is more rational emotionally, he can treat Mrs. Wang and the Wang family completely separately, so he doesn't want Shu Manyao to work hard for Wang Qingheng's family affairs.

Shu Manyao knew that he felt sorry for himself, so he didn't explain it to him. In comparison, the Chen family is closer to her than the Wang family, she didn't interfere in the affairs of Chen Hualiang and Cai Er Girl at the beginning, and she doesn't plan to interfere more in the affairs of the Wang family and Cai Eldest Girl at this time, as long as Mrs. Wang makes her own decisions.

However, she can't just ignore the situation, more or less know some of the situation.

Thinking about it, Shu Manyao yawned, she was tossed by Yang Jianbai for a night last night, that is, she got up late in the morning, and she was very tired at this time. Seeing this, Yang Jianbai stretched out his hand to pull the person to his side: "Sleepy? ”

"Hmm." Shu Manyao responded, and Yang Jianbai directly hugged the person up: "Let's go sleep for a while, there is nothing to do in the afternoon anyway." ”

Shu Manyao thought about it, it was really fine, so he rolled on the bed, rolled the quilt on his body, yawned shallowly, and when Yang Jianbai also came up, he hugged him with one arm and closed his eyes.

Yang Jianbai tilted his head and kissed Shu Manyao on the cheek, also covered the quilt, and fell asleep on his back.

Xia Xi and Dong Du sat under the eaves of the porch with a basket to do needlework, Jing Chun and Jing Qiu were lying in the shade to pick up beans, before their own girl ordered, want to make red bean cake by themselves, the two of them are also idle, so they simply went to the kitchen to get red beans to choose.

Mrs. Wang came back almost in the evening, Shu Manyao and Yang Jianbai, plus a Wang Qingheng, and the four of them had dinner together. Mrs. Wang probably said that she had moved Mrs. Shu to help, and she was in a good mood during the meal: "In a few days, your grandmother said that she was going to hold a flower-viewing banquet, and when the time came, she invited the girl of the Cai family to come over to take a look, and your aunt is not an outsider, we will discuss this matter, and it is better than me being blind by myself." ”

Shu Manyao nodded with a smile: "This is a good idea, hearing is false, seeing is believing, what is the girl of the Cai family, you still have to see it yourself to make a decision." ”
