Chapter 138: Nervous
The Xiao sisters spent a completely different New Year in Suzhou from Kyoto, with warm spring weather and blooming flowers...... Xiao Yao's new teeth have also erupted, and she can finally say what she wants to talk about and laugh when she wants to laugh, nothing makes Xiao Yao happier than this.
The Tong family also took advantage of the New Year's banquet for relatives and friends, and the beautiful little sisters who were dressed naturally won countless praises from everyone as soon as they appeared, and the women's eyes were all attracted by Xiao Yao, and some people quietly inquired privately where this child came from, why they hadn't seen it in Suzhou before.
"These are the two young ladies in my aunt's house." Qian enthusiastically made an introduction.
"Is it a lady from Kyoto?" Hearing Qian's words, Mrs. Tang looked at Xiao Yao carefully again, could it be that she was the guest that her son named to invite, and could it be that her son, who had never put girls in his eyes, treated this young lady ...... If it weren't for the fact that this was someone else's house, Mrs. Tang would have almost screamed.
She finally figured out why her son took the initiative to ask to come to Tong's house today, probably because of the girl in front of her! Mrs. Tang re-examined Xiao Yao with a critical gaze, she was too thin, not tall enough, long? is too flamboyant, without the gentleness and elegance that Jiangnan girls should have...... In a word, it is not worthy of his prodigy son.
"I wonder where these two young ladies come from?" If her family background can be a help for her son in the future, she can also consider it.
"General Xiao's Mansion."
Mrs. Tang vaguely remembered that her master once said that General Xiao was born recklessly, and he had no roots and no foundation, but the official position was high enough, anyway, her son and this girl were still young, and we would talk about it later, maybe there was a better one waiting for my son behind, no hurry, no hurry.
Xiao Yao sneaked back to the backyard after a turn in front of the adults, still staying here comfortably, sorting out the album, chatting with the master, it feels much better than letting others visit and evaluate.
She was living a leisurely and proud life, but Tang Hao fell into an absent-minded state. Since she accidentally met Xiao Yao in the bookstore, her big clear and smart eyes seemed to be stationed in this young man's heart. Nowadays, whether it is when reading or resting, Tang Hao always thinks of the girl whose eyes are brighter than glass, intentionally or unintentionally.
knew that she lived in Tong's mansion, but he didn't have a chance to meet, he asked his mother to send an invitation before, but he got the answer that the young lady from Kyoto was sick, if it wasn't for the fear of being unreasonable, Tang Hao couldn't help but want to go to Tong's house to see. Fortunately, his mother later told him that Dr. Qiao Hui had already gone to see him, which dispelled Tang Hao's idea of visiting Tong Mansion.
Today, he finally got his wish and entered the Tong family, but except for a hurried glance at Mrs. Tong when he saluted, he never had a chance to contact again, which made Tang Hao unwilling, how to see that girl again is a difficult problem in front of him, what way to solve it! ”
Mrs. Tong hid in the dark under the guidance of her eldest grandson and observed Tang Hao once, and Mrs. Tang was completely opposite to Mrs. Tong felt that this boy was not worthy of her granddaughter, prodigy? Who knows what it will be like when you grow up, what it will look like? There is no Xiao family Silang is handsome, and there is no grandson Xiao Yiyingting, which really does not match his granddaughter in any aspect.
A few days later, the Tang family sent an invitation, saying that they invited the Tong family and Miss Xiao to participate in the 80th birthday banquet of the old birthday star.
"We were also invited." Xiao Yao was taken aback and said.
"Yes! Please go to the birthday banquet of the old birthday star of the Tang family with Ruyi, if you don't want to go, your grandmother will help you push down the invitation. "Mrs. Tong actually wants to say, don't go, Ping'an, a little boy in their family has already set his eyes on you, and my grandmother is really not at ease!
"Wouldn't it be bad if you didn't go?" People send out invitations "with good intentions", and it is the old people who have a birthday, how can the younger generation refuse.
"Go, go, you are also touched with the blessings of the old birthday star, maybe the safe body will recover soon!" Old Man Tong didn't believe it, their granddaughter was still so young, they could do it, and besides, was his family just an ornament? He can't even look at a child, but he is a little looking forward to the Tang family proposing a parent, saying a matchmaker or something, for no other reason, that is, he hasn't seen his old in-laws for some days, and he misses it very much!
If Mrs. Tong knew that her husband's thoughts would definitely be fainted, she was afraid that her in-laws would find trouble, so she was scared, this person is good, and she is still looking forward to the fact that General Xiao, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, can come, do you think this day is too boring?
"What kind of gift should Ruyi and I prepare!" I've never celebrated my 80-year-old birthday! What kind of gift to choose can not only express your heart, but also look solemn! Xiao Yao hesitated.
"Grandmother will be ready for these things, you don't have to worry, just treat this banquet as an ordinary party, don't take it too seriously." Mrs. Tong didn't want her granddaughter to pay too much attention to the Tang family's banquet, why should she give them so much face.
"Sister, you said, will your other tooth fall out when you go to Tang's house!" Xiao Yuan asked worriedly.
Xiao Yao subconsciously covered her mouth, how could she forget about it, in case she lost her teeth while eating, the joke would be big.
"Show my grandmother." Mrs. Tong pulled her granddaughter over and carefully studied and studied it through the light projected.
"If you can't fall off within two days, you can rest assured that you are safe." Before Mrs. Tong could speak, Old Man Tong glanced at it and said irresponsibly.
Although she was robbed of the right to speak, Mrs. Tong had to admit that her husband's words made some sense, her granddaughter's teeth were still very strong, and it shouldn't be a problem to insist on it for a day or two.
"Remember to eat less, even when you eat, pick some soft dishes to taste, and remember not to eat anything too cold or too hot." Mrs. Tong instructed carefully.
"You should be safe......" Old Man Tong looked at Xiao Yuan, the little fat man next to him, and closed his mouth vigilantly.
Mrs. Tong glared at her husband, she really looked familiar with Xiao Ruyi, and she actually said anything in front of others, and she made the child cry for a while, I see how you step down.
"Grandmother doesn't have to worry about my sister, she's not me, greedy and playful, you can rest assured, you will always be with your sister, I will eliminate them for my sister when I encounter bad bites, hard, and cold food." It's a good errand! I like it very much.
Seeing Xiao Yuan, who had little stars in his eyes, Mrs. Tong and Xiao Yao swallowed all the comforting words back into their stomachs.
Old man Tong happily hugged Xiao Yuan, and didn't forget to turn his head and tease his wife, look, the little fat man doesn't mind himself, and I don't know what you are nervous about.
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, all the members of the Tong family went out except for a few milk dolls, and everyone wanted to witness how the eighty-year-old birthday star celebrated his birthday.
Xiao Yao wore a light green skirt today, with a simple beaded flower on her head, she rarely chooses green clothes, one is that she doesn't like it very much, and the other reason is that as a person from modern times, she has some psychological shadows about this color.
Mrs. Tong chose for her granddaughter a morning before finalizing today's dress, if it is too grand, she is afraid of causing some people's reverie, too casual, and not solemn enough. After changing three or four sets, she didn't choose the one that satisfied her, not that Xiao Yao was not good-looking, on the contrary, it was because they were all too good-looking, making it difficult to choose.
The rest of the Tong family can't understand Mrs. Tong's behavior, not to choose the luxurious, not to be exquisite, looking at her old man's appearance, it seems that the more cheesy her granddaughter is, the more ordinary the better, how can this look like an enemy can do something?
But the old man Tong seemed to be specifically against his old wife, and when he saw his well-dressed granddaughter, he praised him: "It looks so good to wear this dress safely, it is refreshing and refined, and you should often wear clothes of this color in the future." ”
Mrs. Tong couldn't go up and cover her husband's mouth, and it took her all morning to finally pick the most ordinary and ordinary one from a pile of clothes for her granddaughter to wear. Fortunately, all the efforts of this sentence have been in vain, and it seems that having a granddaughter who is too outstanding is sometimes a headache.
Mama Ruan also changed the practice of never accompanying the little apprentice to the banquet in the past, and went out in person today in order to escort Xiao Yao. They are worried about Xiao Yao doesn't know anything, she has always thought that she is just a child, who is okay to worry about a stinky preschool child!
Yun Can in the past, Tang Hao now, and Xiao Yao didn't think about that aspect, because she forgot that ancient people would get married when they were teenagers. In modern times, teenagers are a good time to study, the gap is too big, and Xiao Yao still can't turn a corner.
As an insider, the old man Tong saw the nervous appearance of his wife and Mama Ruan, and he silently despised the two of them, just based on the appearance of the two of you, do you still want to protect peace? In front of this, there is an old in-law's strict defense, and there is a group of people who are soldiers, Xiao Ping'an, you really have the ability, you don't have to do anything, you can mobilize everyone to revolve around you.
Sitting in the carriage, Xiao Yuan whispered to Xiao Yao: "Sister, don't you think that grandmother and Mama Ruan are a little weird today." ”
"Is there one?" Xiao Yao, who didn't know that he was the culprit at all, asked in wonder.
"I guess they're afraid that you will lose your teeth and make a fool of yourself in other people's homes, so they're nervous, if only you don't have to change your teeth, everyone doesn't have to bother." Xiao Yuanxu has a precedent to say.
Can you not go out of your way to remind yourself that this is not something you can control?
However, grandmother and Mama Ruan are obviously not such boring people, what can make them nervous must be something else, Xiao Yao feels that it has nothing to do with her.
