The restaurant's private room is separated from the street outside by a window, and the noisy voices float in through the window lattice.

The continuous cries of street vendors, interspersed with the sounds of passers-by haggling, are the most ordinary scenes in the world.

Ah Yu lowered his head and looked at the already cold tea on the table, his heart was cold, and he seemed to have frozen in a trance.

Did Yahuan, who had just followed Qingrui into the door, still say a word?

Maybe she didn't say anything!

Ah Yu couldn't help but look at Xie Huai'an, who didn't say a word, and his eyes were full of pleading: "She just ...... Say nothing! ”

Xie Huai'an couldn't bear to be looked at by Ah Xuan, but he couldn't go against his principles to coax Ah Xuan, so he had to look away: "She said that Mrs. Duan committed suicide...... I know that your relationship with Mrs. Duan should be very good, but now that things have happened, it won't help to talk about anything else, so don't be too sad......"

He rarely coaxes people, obviously it is persuasion, but he is extremely stiff.

Ah Yu felt that Xie Huai'an's appearance of saying that long list of words quickly was very familiar, but he didn't have the idea of delving into it at this time.

He said that Mrs. Duan committed suicide.

Although the death she saw on Mrs. Duan's face was indeed a deplorable appearance, in Wen Ru's memory, she had never heard of Mrs. Duan's death letter until she was dying, and she could not and should not have died at this time.

What's more, how could Mrs. Duan commit suicide!

Ah Yu was a little excited, and looked eagerly at the maid ring brought by Qingrui: "Mrs. Duan and Master Duan are in love, and the only only son is when she wants to marry a wife, how could she commit suicide for no reason?" Isn't it...... Did someone deliberately ask you to lie to me with such words, let me tell you, those words just now can't be said nonsense! ”

Xiao Yahuan hurriedly shook her head, she didn't dare to lie in front of her own girl.

"Everything the slave said is true, and she would never dare to lie in front of the girl...... "The little girl was learning the rules from Mama Liu, and it was a coincidence that it was her turn to come over and pass the word to Ah Yu.

Originally, the news of Mrs. Duan's suicide could not have spread so quickly.

However, yesterday, Mrs. Duan wrote a post to many of her close friends, asking them to come to the house today, and in addition to her friends, there was also a future in-law Mrs. Xi.

"Qingying hasn't been with us for a while, and now it's finally a letter......

Mrs. Wen was chatting with Mrs. Wen on the road.

"Last time I heard that Qingying moved from the main courtyard to a remote courtyard, she was obviously treated badly by the Duan family, but she still didn't say a word in front of outsiders, I came to persuade her to stop the loss in time, even if she still wants to continue to live in the Duan family, then she shouldn't let the main courtyard out. I had never heard of a lady in Kyoto who would move out of the main courtyard like she did, but she just smiled and didn't say anything. ”

"The second sister-in-law saw Qingying today, and she also has to help me persuade her, no matter how you say it, you can't live in such a remote and narrow courtyard!"

Second Mrs. Wen heard such a thing for the first time, and hurriedly chased after Mrs. Wen and asked for the details.

After Mrs. Wen gave her a detailed explanation, she also became angry.

She and Mrs. Duan are sisters-in-law, and the relationship between the two sisters is also very good, and they will visit her during the New Year's holidays.

Second Mrs. Wen just saw that her children were already old, and it was time to look at each other, so she spent most of her time on the young talents and ladies in Kyoto, she was not as natural as Mrs. Wen, she only thought about the marriage of her children earlier, and when the children grew up, the good marriage was picked away.

I don't have a clue about this marriage, but I don't know that there is a problem on my sister's side.

"It's a good thing you mentioned this matter to me today, otherwise I would have been buried in the dark all the time!"

Second Mrs. Wen has rarely stayed at Duan's house over the years, and naturally she would not have thought that her sister would only receive visitors in the main courtyard, and then return to live in the small courtyard after the guests left.

She had already discussed the next words of persuasion with Mrs. Wen, and what she was looking forward to was to meet Mrs. Duan as soon as possible, so that she could tell all their thoughts.

It was not only the Wen family who received Mrs. Duan's invitation, but also the time written on the post received by Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Wen was later than the people next to them.

Although they had already gone out in advance, when they arrived at Duan Mansion, they found that almost everyone else had already arrived.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Duan's range of friends coincides with that of Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Wen, and the ladies she invited to visit her door are also old acquaintances with the two ladies of the Wen family, among which there is a lady surnamed Li who is the best with Mrs. Wen on weekdays.

When she saw Second Lady Wen enter the door, she hurriedly called someone to her side.

His face was as quiet as possible, but there was still a little dissatisfaction between his eyebrows: "It's not a bad thing that you are so late today, but this family's hospitality is really not as good as once." ”

It was also at this time that Mrs. Wen and the others knew that Mrs. Duan had invited someone to the door, and it had been a long time, but there were still only a few subordinates waiting on the side, but Mrs. Duan herself was nowhere to be found.

Second Lady Wen and Third Lady Wen glanced at each other, and the two of them looked out of the door in unison, they were sitting in the Hanging Flower Hall at this time, only a few steps away from the main courtyard, but Mrs. Duan should still be living in the remote courtyard in the corner of the Duan Mansion, not in the main courtyard.

"Sister may have been delayed by something, why don't we go straight to the past!" Second Madam Wen still remembered Third Madam Wen's words, and she thought that Madam Duan had not appeared yet, perhaps because the subordinates in the mansion were not attentive and did not pass on the news of the arrival of the guests to Madam Duan.

And when Mrs. Wen San came to persuade Mrs. Duan some time ago, she was taken to a remote courtyard to see Mrs. Duan by her subordinates every time.

She doesn't look like Ah Yu, after more times, she naturally remembers the route.

The group of ladies who happened to arrive first really felt that they had been neglected, and when they saw that Mrs. Wen San and the others were about to go directly to Mrs. Duan, after thinking for a while, they all followed.

Master Duan is in the official office at this time, and Duan Yuzhi is preparing for the mid-year examination in the White Horse Academy, and the only master in the mansion is Mrs. Duan, who has never shown up.

The guests, who were invited by the host, naturally had a reason to find the host themselves.

The subordinates in the Duan Mansion not only did not stop them, but also led the way in front.

Seeing that the route was getting more and more remote, many ladies who followed the two ladies of the Wen family couldn't help frowning, thinking that things here might not be ordinary, and some people even retreated, but no one was embarrassed to say the words of quitting, and the group walked to the door of the remote courtyard with different mentalities.

Guarding the door were two mothers-in-law with five big and three thick, they leaned against the wall, staring boredly at the path at the entrance of the courtyard, and saw a large group of people suddenly appear on the road, and their faces couldn't help but show a little panic.

"Wait...... Where are you going, you cannot go any further. The mother-in-law on the left stopped in front of the Second Mrs. Wen and them, blocking the way, not planning to let them pass.

Second Mrs. Wen looked coldly at the mother-in-law who was stopped on the road, she and Mrs. Duan were sisters-in-law, and they spent the most time visiting the door on weekdays, although she didn't dare to say that she knew all the people in Mrs. Duan's yard, but she was sure that the two mothers-in-law in front of her had definitely never seen before, anyway, the two people who guarded the yard for Mrs. Duan in the past were definitely not the two people in front of her.

"Your wife personally wrote a post to invite us to the door, and now it is already in the middle of the day, but I haven't seen your wife come out to entertain guests, so I don't take us seriously, now we are looking for Mrs. Duan, it has nothing to do with you, and we don't want to retreat quickly!"

They don't want to back down.

But there were many people on the other side, and they didn't dare to really do anything with the people on the other side, so they could only retreat to the side in a huff, thinking that with their identities, they really couldn't stop the people on the other side, even if they let the master know, it couldn't be said that it was their fault, so they also let go of their hearts.

Although the courtyard is small, it is also divided into a main hall and an inner bedroom.

I don't know if Mrs. Duan had expected this to happen, but after Mrs. Wen and the others entered the main hall, they found that Mrs. Duan was already sitting on the seat at the head of the main hall waiting for them.

Second Lady Wen's temper was not tactful, if it weren't for what she had seen and heard along the way that divided her mind, she would have complained as soon as she saw Mrs. Duan. Although he didn't complain directly at this time, his eyes were full of pity for Mrs. Duan.

She had listened to Mrs. Wen's words before, and thought it was an exaggerated statement, but after walking a while in Duan's mansion, she realized that Mrs. Wen's words were still said in a euphemistic direction.

In addition to feeling sorry for Mrs. Duan, she was also the same as Mrs. Wen, and she had a burst of anger at Mrs. Duan's indisputability.

After Mrs. Duan's gaze swept over the faces of all the ladies one by one, she had a plan in her heart, and then greeted Mrs. Xi in the crowd with a smile.

“…… You see that my son and Arou can also be called a talented woman and a match made in heaven, although the age of the two children is not too old, but it is not impossible to get married in advance, what do you think? ”

After laughing with everyone, when Mrs. Duan turned back to talk to Mrs. Xi, she once again mentioned the relationship between the two children.

Mrs. Xi paused, as if she wanted to refute Mrs. Duan's words, but because of the occasion, it was difficult to speak directly, so she said: "Marriage is a big deal, how can you make a ...... so hastily" and didn't say that it was good, or bad, only that Mrs. Duan's attitude was a little sloppy.

When Mrs. Duan heard this, not only was she not annoyed, but she laughed out loud.

"I know that you have such a statement because you love your daughter, but I have this wish in my life, hoping to see my son as soon as possible. As the saying goes, start a family before starting a business, and my son is already preparing to take the exam next year, so I want to book his marriage as soon as possible......"

In fact, the logic in Mrs. Duan's words was not so smooth, but her straightforward appearance when she spoke was too good to fool people, and no one else noticed this flaw.

Second Lady Wen and Third Lady Wen did not speak because of their identity.

Although the other ladies present were still a little unhappy because of Mrs. Duan's neglect, everyone was friends after all, and after listening to Mrs. Duan's words, they helped her persuade Mrs. Xi.

And Mrs. Xi's mind is not particularly firm, she is persuaded by so many people, and the thing she is persuaded is still a family matter that she has already agreed to, and this is just a period of time before the day of marriage, and it seems that it is not impossible.

Mrs. Xi, who was surrounded by a group of people and persuaded her brain to be dizzy, inexplicably agreed to let Xi Rou and Duan Yuzhi marry in advance, and when she came back to her senses and wanted to change her words again, it was too late.

After Mrs. Duan agreed, she relaxed and picked up the teacup on the table, but the maid on the side was about to add tea to her teacup, and the teacup was knocked over on the table, and the tea stained Mrs. Duan's clothes.

The little girl who added tea immediately knelt down, and Mrs. Duan bluntly said that it was okay, so let her be careful next time.

But in front of everyone, Mrs. Duan couldn't continue to wear the clothes that were stained with tea, so she said to everyone and went down to change her clothes first.

The people in the main hall didn't take this little thing to heart, thinking that Mrs. Xi had changed her clothes and would be able to come back soon, but who knew that after they drank cup after cup of tea in the main hall, they still couldn't wait for Mrs. Duan to appear.

Mrs. Li frowned slightly, and whispered to Mrs. Wen, "Sister Qingying, what's going on today?" In the past, we were entertained in the main courtyard, we waited in the main courtyard for a long time, or you were brought to this courtyard after you came, Sister Qingying said that she went back to change her clothes, but this change of clothes is inevitably too long! ”

As she spoke, she gently knocked the teacup in her hand, and she had already drunk more than ten cups of tea, and she really couldn't drink it anymore.

When Second Lady Wen heard this, her eyes couldn't help but show a little doubt.

She glanced at Lan Yin, who was still in the hall, thought about it, and instructed Lan Yin: "You go and see why my sister hasn't come back yet?" ”

Lan Yin lowered his head stiffly, and suppressed his voice and echoed yes.

Within a moment, the ladies in the main hall heard a cry of great sorrow.

"That seems to be Lanyin's voice......

Only she would cry so ugly.

Second Lady Wen subconsciously spoke, and when she came back to her senses, she couldn't help but have a bad premonition in her heart, Lan Yin was an old man waiting by Mrs. Duan's side, and she could be regarded as well-informed, and for what reason would someone like her cry so bitterly.

The people in the room looked at each other, and finally under the leadership of Mrs. Wensan, they walked in the direction where the cry appeared.

Then they saw the door wide open, the white silk hanging from the beams, and the sound of the white silk hanging on it, swaying in the wind.

A group of people fainted and fell, and in the end, only Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Wen supported each other and stood in place.

"Is that Qingying?"

"How can it be a sister?"
