Chapter 69: The Wen Family

In a blink of an eye, it was time to go to Wen's house as a guest, Tong Mingyu chose a ninety percent new hibiscus pink dress for her daughter, and only a kitten with a fluttering butterfly was embroidered on the front hem. Xiao Yao's hair, which had begun to turn black, was combed into a bunch, and there were no other accessories except for two headbands. On his feet is a pair of pink embroidered shoes embedded with pearls, and the whole person looks delicate and beautiful.

Tong Mingyu took her daughter's hand, looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction. It's just that I don't know if Mama Ruan will be satisfied with such a dress and such a dress, it's not that Tong Mingyu boasted, I have never seen a child who is more outstanding than her own peace and appearance in the family of an acquaintance!

In the past few days, Tong Mingyu's mood has been up and down, suffering from gains and losses, although she listened to her husband's words and did not tell her daughter, but she tossed herself enough, and for a while believed that her daughter would be taken by Mama Ruan and taught various skills; After a while, I felt that my daughter's image didn't look gentle and demure enough, and in the eyes of those elderly and experienced grandmothers, she would not be the best candidate.

Nervous, tangled, and in a mood that comes and goes, Tong Mingyu has reason to believe that if there is no conclusion to this matter, he will go crazy.

The mother and daughter walked out of the gate hand in hand and got into the carriage waiting on the side together, the two of them were relatively silent along the way, Tong Mingyu thought about his thoughts, Xiao Yao thought that this was just the most ordinary visit.

The two of them didn't say anything, the other didn't ask, and there was silence in the car for a while, and it didn't take long for the carriage to come to the gate of Wen's house.

Xiying and Xiwei picked up the curtain for the master, and the moment she got out of the car, Tong Mingyu's heart calmed down, if her daughter could enter Mama Ruan's eyes, even if she was not selected, it was a unique treasure in the palm of her hand.

Mrs. Wen's housekeeper's mother, who had been waiting outside the door, and Xiao Yao's eldest cousin, Zhou, hurriedly greeted her.

"I've seen Mrs. Shaw."

"I've seen my aunt."

"Hurry up, it's all your own family, you don't have to be polite."

"I've seen my eldest cousin, good mother."

"Ping An is getting better and better, and my cousin is embarrassed to appear in front of you." Zhou was talking in his mouth, and a pair of hands had already touched Xiao Yao's face, the little girl's skin was really good, smooth and tender, like a freshly peeled hard-boiled egg, which made people love it, and every time they met, they couldn't help but touch it.

Xiao Yao sighed in her heart, and she had to have a decent smile on her face. I have to show joy when I am insulted, how to think about it.

I really don't know if Si Swenwen's eldest cousin knows if his daughter-in-law is a pervert, or the kind that doesn't even let go of children. Looking at her eldest cousin-in-law with green eyes, Xiao Yao had no choice but to be the lamb to be slaughtered.

There was a small sedan chair parked at the hanging flower door, and sitting on the sedan chair, Xiao Yao enjoyed the scenery of the great writer's mansion through the small window.

Whether it is a courtyard, a promenade, a rockery, or an ancient tree, it exudes a simple and elegant charm everywhere. Each couplet plaque gives people the feeling of being in a sea of books through them.

The old lady of the Wen family used to be the princess, and now the head of the family, Wen Zhiqiao, is a generation of Confucianism, peach and plum all over the world, and Mrs. Jiang is the niece of Concubine Jiang in the palace, so she will know and have dealings with Mama Ruan.

When the group arrived at the upper room, there were already many people sitting inside, and Mrs. Wen was about fifty years old, dignified and elegant. Next to her sat a woman of about forty years old with elegant manners, a smile and a smile, dressed in a plain brocade dress, with a silver comb obliquely inserted on her head, indifferent, quiet and a little alienated.

Several daughters-in-law sat with them, and the granddaughters-in-law stood behind their mothers-in-law to be dispatched.

Tong Mingyu first greeted Mrs. Wen, and then greeted each other with several Mrs. Wen and exchanged a few words of greeting. After that, he looked at Xiao Yao calmly, and looked at your performance with peace of mind.

Xiao Yao came to Mrs. Wen's side with a smile in her eyebrows, bowed solemnly and said, "Peace to the Wen family's grandmother." ”

Mrs. Wen smiled and glanced at Mama Ruan, who was quietly drinking tea with an unmoved expression, didn't say anything, turned back and beckoned to Xiao Yao cordially and said softly: "Little girl with no conscience, you haven't been here for a few days, even if you don't want me as a grandmother, don't you want your aunt?" ”

"Yes! I want you and my aunt to do it, so I'm here today. Xiao Yao's smile became brighter and brighter.

"As long as your mouth is sweet, come and let grandmother see if it's honey." Mrs. Wen also had the idea of letting Mama Ruan observe Xiao Yao up close.

"Our family lacks such a big little girl, don't go back today, stay with your grandmother and your aunt, okay." Mrs. Wen took Xiao Yao's hand and looked at it carefully for a long time, she really didn't find any obvious shortcomings, if there must be any, that is, the hair is not thick enough, and this shortcoming can still be made up for the day after tomorrow.

"Mother-in-law, let's have such an idea, I'm afraid we have to ask not only General Xiao, but also Tong Shangshu, as far as I know, Uncle Tong has been queuing for a long time, and he has never brought his granddaughter back to live alone!" The eldest daughter-in-law of the Wen family joked.

"Really? It seems that the little girl is quite popular, tell your grandmother why don't you go to live at your grandfather's house? ”

"Because I am reluctant to leave my grandparents, mothers and fathers, I will often go to see my grandfather and grandmother during the day, and then accompany my grandfather and my parents in the evening."

"Mrs. Xiao, your daughter is really sensible." Mrs. Wen opened her mouth and praised.

"To make you laugh, this kid really dares to say anything when he coaxes people." The things that are made are even more unimaginable to you.

"Little girl, do you know why you're here today?" Mama Ruan, who had never spoken, stared at the little girl in front of her as plain as water. Even if she has read countless people, she has to admit that the child in front of her is very outstanding.

Mama Ruan has been up and down in the palace for half her life, tired and tired. By chance, I got the opportunity to leave the palace, because I didn't know where my family went, and I had no children and no daughters. So she wants to find a girl with eyes to teach and live the second half of her life peacefully.

In the past ten days since I left the palace, I have seen a few children, but they are not very satisfied. The reason why I am sitting here today is, first, because of the relationship with the Wen family; The second is that I heard that the Xiao family's back house is clean.

Most of the children from such families are cheerful and kind, and their minds are pure. Seeing so much deceit and intrigue, she really didn't want to enter such a disgusting environment again. Before coming, she also made a decision, as long as the child is generally passable, she should get down, so as not to be tiring and tiring to pick and choose. If those noble ladies who racked their brains and planned to invite Mama Ruan to go knew that the first condition for her selection was like this, I don't know how she would feel in her heart.

What Mama Ruan didn't expect was that not only did the conditions of the Xiao family meet her own requirements, but the child himself was outstanding, clear-sighted, quick-thinking, and generous. Since everything was very satisfying to her, Mama Ruan stopped holding it and was ready to ask a few questions that she was concerned about to see how she would answer.

Xiao Yao had already seen the woman beside Mrs. Wen, and she also liked her elegant temperament, because no one introduced her, so except for a shallow salute, the two did not have any communication.

"Ping'an came to see Mama Ruan." Mrs. Wen was not surprised at all by her old friend's reaction, if she couldn't even get peace into her eyes, then she really didn't know how long it would take to find the right person.

"I've seen Mama Ruan." Xiao Yao obediently walked over and saluted, with a respectful and natural expression on her face, making people look like she was just a child who had listened to the elders and came to salute the guests, without any other thoughts.

"Back to Mama, Ping An is here to visit the Wen family's grandmother and aunts, aunts, and cousins-in-law today."

This grandmother's question is so strange, does she have other purposes? Xiao Yao's inquiring gaze turned to Mrs. Wen and asked for an answer.
