Chapter 60: Please
Although this year is not General Xiao's birthday, because the three sons are all officials, and everyone in Kyoto knows that General Xiao is the emperor's son and the mentor of King Jing's son, so everyone will not agree to this birthday banquet.
So the Xiao family started to prepare early, fortunately, it has been done a few times, Tong Mingyu is no longer in a hurry when he was the first time, everything can be found in an example, just follow the step-by-step. Tong Mingyu was paying attention to the preparations for the birthday banquet while staring closely at her daughter's studies. Since she knew about the "lot-drawing" incident between her daughter and her brother-in-law, she no longer dared to be careless. I'm afraid that something more unexpected will happen if I don't see it.
The husband said that she was making a big fuss, and the father-in-law didn't say a single superfluous word except for praising his daughter for being "really clever". The whole family was only worried about the mother-in-law and herself, plus one Ayan, and the rest of the people were happy to accept their daughter's performance.
Daughter now not only needs her as a mother's supervision, but also needs a good upbringing, Tong Mingyu feels that if she doesn't study for three years and five years, it is definitely not suitable for her daughter to go out.
For this matter, Tong Mingyu deliberately took time out to meet his sister, Tong Minglan, the third wife of the Wen family. After explaining her intentions, Tong Minglan comforted her sister and said: "Don't make yourself so nervous, Ping An is only occasionally naughty, where is it as serious as you said." ”
"Eldest sister, you don't know, the strange thing she has done, not to mention this one, I'm really a little worried."
"I really like her character, by the way, why didn't you bring her, my mother-in-law was talking about her a few days ago."
"Write at home!" It's a punishment for writing at home! In fact, Tong Mingyu also saw very clearly that her daughter would only be naughty at home, and when she was away, she was no worse than other young ladies.
"I was punished by you." Tong Minglan said with a light smile.
"Don't laugh at me, help me come up with ideas."
"It's also a coincidence that you came, yesterday I heard my mother-in-law say that there is a very famous grandmother in the palace who is planning to leave the palace, listen to her, and want to find a suitable family to support the elderly, but you also know that the more this kind of person is, the more picky she is, and the idle child will definitely not get into her eyes. I have confidence in our peace, as soon as I get the news here, I will be the first to inform you, you can rest assured! ”
"Mama from the palace, there must be a lot of people who want to ask for it, I don't know if they will fancy peace."
"Tell me that if peace doesn't satisfy her, then there is no hope for other people's children."
"Don't you boast anymore, do I need anything here?"
"You don't have to be too nervous, my mother-in-law has a good relationship with this grandmother surnamed Ruan, and when the time comes, let her old man say a few words for safety, this matter should be very hopeful."
"Then I'll leave this matter to my sister."
"Why should you and my sister be so polite?"
The sisters talked about Tong Minglan's seventeen-year-old son Wen Yan who was about to get married, and then the topic turned to Xiao Yi, the two cousins are only one year apart, one is about to get married, and the other doesn't know where the Yue family is!
Fortunately, the men of the Xiao family are late in getting married, and it will be nothing in another three or two years with the age of their son.
Because of her daughter's affairs, Tong Mingyu finally had some eyebrows, and Tong Mingyu returned home in a comfortable mood.
As soon as I entered the house, I was told that my father and mother were here, and that my mother was now playing with her daughter in Graceland!
"Mother, why did you and your father come here in person, is there something going on at home?" Tong Mingyu hurriedly asked.
"Don't worry, everything is fine at home, I'm here to tell you something, as for your father? I've already taken Ping'an to your father-in-law's study in the front yard. Mrs. Tong replied with a smile.
"Blame me, there were so many things going on during this time, I didn't bother to go home to see you and my father." Tong Mingyu felt very guilty.
"It's all a family, isn't it the same who comes and who goes!" Mrs. Tong comforted her daughter.
"I heard you went to your sister's."
"Yes." Tong Mingyu told her mother the ins and outs of the matter in great detail, and finally concluded with emotion: "Ping An looks well-behaved and sensible, but the things that can be done are ......" is really laughable.
"My granddaughter is clever."
"Don't boast, your daughter is going to die of sorrow."
"Children, if you can't do what you want at home, it's too pitiful, not to mention that although Ping An is small, she still does things in a measured way, you see that she has never made a mistake outside and in front of outsiders, isn't this okay! Don't be stupid, like some young ladies, you can't do this, you can't touch that, and in the end you won't know anything but the rules, so I'm really terrible! ”
Tong Mingyu thought about it carefully, and compared the image of a girl who obeyed the rules with her daughter's naughty and vivid appearance, and felt that her daughter was more likable.
Mrs. Tong did not interrupt her daughter's reverie, and was even more convinced that her and her master's idea was right, it was best to marry back to the Tong family safely, which one of her grandparents and uncles was willing to criticize her, and she was not the eldest daughter-in-law, she could live freely and freely for the rest of her life, as for saying that her daughter-in-law had ideas, she was just one person, and she was alone, and she didn't dare to be bad for peace when she and her son looked at her.
After a moment of silence in the room, Mrs. Tong first came back to her senses, she still had something to tell her daughter today, the matter of peace is long in the future, and she is sure that there is no more suitable person than her own, so she is not in a hurry at all.
"At a banquet, I overheard the young lady of the Taichang Temple Qingyu family and others mentioning that she would come to your house in a few days to celebrate the old general's birthday, and listening to her tone, it seems that the two of you have recognized the relationship between her and the fourth uncle of Ping'an, I just want to ask you, what is going on."
"Is this eldest lady a little crazy, we never promised anything, Lord Yu didn't dare to find my father-in-law, and I couldn't find the fourth uncle of Ping'an, pestering my father-in-law and the second uncle of Ping'an all day long, what do you say this is called, we have clearly refused, but I thought that the other party is daughter's house, I want to save some face for her and her family, so I never talked about it to others, I didn't expect this Miss Yu to be so excessive."
"So be careful at this banquet, find someone to keep an eye on the Yu family, especially Miss Yu, don't do anything, and tell your little uncle to be careful."
"My daughter wrote it down."
"Your brother-in-law should get married soon, so there will be no trouble, Ah Yi is not small, there is no need to be delayed anymore, I look at a few young ladies coldly, it is very good, your second brother and second sister-in-law already have a candidate for a daughter-in-law, and now I will send your Ah Yi here." Mrs. Tong lowered her voice and said, these words can't be heard by the rest of the Xiao family.
"You help me pay attention to it first, in fact, Ah Yi can wait for two years, the men of the Xiao family are late to get married, his fourth uncle will not marry this year, will he not marry next year or the year after, even if we don't say anything at that time, my father-in-law will not let him anymore."
"That's just as well."
When the two of them talked privately, they felt that time flew by. At noon, the Qin family entertained their in-laws with a sumptuous banquet.
Everyone else is normal there, but the two old in-laws are a little drunk again.
"Let Ping An come with me to stay at Tong's house for a few days." Tong Shangshu's tongue was straight, and he said drunkenly.
"No, I'm still reluctant!" General Xiao is in slightly better condition, but his body is a little shaky.
"Do you still want to keep peace with you for a lifetime, let me tell you, in another ten years, peace will be mine, our Tong family."
"What do you mean?" I feel that there is something in my in-laws, and General Xiao is not calm.
"Father, you drank too much, I'll let someone send you back."
Cold sweat broke out on Tong Mingyu's forehead, usually no one dared to tell his father-in-law about his daughter's future or marriage, every time he heard it, his father-in-law would get angry once, and the anger was no less than that of the enemy.
"Lao Tong, you make it clear for me." What is peace from the Tong family, why does it sound so awkward!
Mrs. Tong also hurriedly came forward, today is not a good time to propose, seeing that General Xiao is about to turn his face, it is better to go first.
A group of people were busy appeasing the two old men, but the two were still arguing inarticulately.
