Mrs. Li looks twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and she skillfully greets and arranges the ladies and ladies, and she is a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing, but she makes people feel very comfortable.

The Gao family thought that all the dignitaries in the city had come, and all kinds of expensive gifts were not uncommon, and Mrs. Li might not necessarily accept them when they met for the first time.

The gift should also be special, so I gave Mrs. Li the literati listening to the piano that Yanya had spent half a year embroidering. Mrs. Li liked this embroidery very much, and was even more surprised to know that it was embroidered by Yanya herself.

The banquet was more than halfway over, and everyone saw that Mrs. Li was kind and had no official pretensions, so they gradually relaxed, and many ladies and ladies had already started talking in twos and threes.

At this time, a maidservant came to pour tea and water, and accidentally knocked over Yanya's teacup, and the tea was dumped on the case, staining Yanya's clothes. Mrs. Li sent the maidservants around her to hurry over, but fortunately they had spare clothes when they came out, and the second lady of the Gao family went to the carriage with the maidservants to get them.

Tan Yin once heard her aunts and uncles say that the banquet of this big family is the easiest to cause trouble, such as saving people from falling into the water, changing their clothes when they get wet, etc., if anyone wants to make trouble, they will take the opportunity to do things.

When the clothes were taken, Mrs. Li personally took Yanya to change, and when the Gao family saw this, they were embarrassed to follow, and it was not good to let the three young ladies leave the table to follow, only let Tan Yin follow Yanya.

Changchun Garden is huge, there are many winding water corridors, often the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village, and after following Mrs. Li for a while, the two girls were dizzy.

After going around and around, I finally came to a large courtyard, and when I entered the courtyard, I saw a few bamboo bushes planted on one side of the yard, slender and straight, quiet and elegant; On one side, osmanthus, camellia, begonia, etc. are planted, which are fresh and colorful.

At this moment, seeing Mrs. Xu coming from outside the moon gate, the two girls finally understood.

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Two young ladies, please rest assured, we have no malicious intentions, but Mrs. Xu and I want to ask Miss Gao to talk." Behind this courtyard is a small garden, and I asked Qiuyue to take Miss Tan to wait. ”

At this point, the two girls had to agree, thinking that they were brought by Mrs. Li herself, and the two noble ladies could not do anything inappropriate.

Seeing this, Yanya nodded at Tan Yin, signaling her to rest assured, even if Tan Yin was not at ease, she had to wait now.

Yanya followed Mrs. Li and Mrs. Xu into the house. After turning a marble screen, there is a small hall.

The hall is not big, there is a desk in the north corner, there is an incense burner, the incense is lit in the furnace, there are calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and the arrangement is very warm and elegant.

In the northernmost part, there is a marble rosewood couch with a backrest, and two marble rosewood chairs with backrests facing east and west.

Out of the main hall, behind is the inner room, Yan Ya entered the inner room carefully to look at the corners and corners, and then changed into clean clothes after being relieved.

Wait until you get out of the inner room and enter the main hall. Mrs. Li was sitting on the couch, Mrs. Xu was sitting on the first chair in the east head, and after Yan Ya and the two saluted, she half sat down on the second chair in the west head.

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Xu saw that she knew the etiquette quite well, and bowed slightly.

Yan Ya changed into a lilac purple embroidered long skirt, dressed up today, and the whole person was a little gorgeous.

Mrs. Xu is in her forties, and she looks like an ordinary woman, but Xu worked too hard in her early years, showing a little old.

"Yanya, can I call you that!" Mrs. Li looked at her affectionately and said.

"Madame is polite, Yanya is terrified." Yanya owes her body.

"The literati sent by your Gao family today are very exquisite, I heard that you embroidered it by your own hands, but what is the point of paying attention?" Mrs. Li asked.

"Mrs. Hui, it's nothing special. I have liked embroidery since I was a child, and I saw some Shu embroidery and Suzhou embroidery, and I used a little bit of stitching in both of them, and split the silk thread to a little thinner, and the color was matched with it. Yanya replied with a smile.

Yan Ya understated, Mrs. Xu may not understand, but Mrs. Li knows the doorway. This draws on the strengths of the two families, and there has been some innovation in the needle; The silk thread is more finely split, that is, it is more delicate and subtle than the two; And the color matching is the most considering vision and temperament, it is rare that this girl is not boastful, Mrs. Li couldn't help but nod slightly when she heard this.

"How did you think that embroidering this literati listens to the piano picture, and the girl's family generally doesn't like flowers, birds, insects and fish?"

"Mrs. Hui, I also like flowers and birds, but I think this kind of literati painting is also very special, so I embroidered it."

Mrs. Li nodded, the characters are much more difficult to embroider than flowers and birds, especially the facial expressions, if you want to embroider exquisitely, it is not something that ordinary people can do. And the choice of the topic is so elegant, it is a test of pattern and bearing, and Mrs. Li finally knows why the second son of the Xu family will judge the two of them before and after.

Mrs. Li asked her about her usual studies and hobbies. The Gao family is in the pharmaceutical business, and their children have to learn medicine and bookkeeping. In addition to flower arrangement and embroidery, his hobbies are similar to those of other ladies, and he also reads books and makes incense.

Mrs. Li sighed, this Gao family is different from ordinary merchants, and their daughter's education is unequivocal.

After another greeting, I cut to the chase.

"Yanya, there was some misunderstanding between the Xu family and the Gao family before, and Mrs. Xu came to see you today. The second son of the Xu family is the most prestigious talent in Hangzhou, I don't know how many generations can produce such a talented person, and how many people in the city envy him. Your Gao family had a deep relationship with the Xu family before, but it has faded in the past two years, and the relationship has become close since then, and your Gao family ancestors also have light. Mrs. Li smiled: Mrs. Xu also smiled with satisfaction.

It turned out that Mrs. Xu came to see herself today.

In fact, Yanya has never understood how Xu Linhai has been judging the two of them in just a few months, except for the West Lake Teahouse at the next table, she has nothing to do with him.

"Yanya, we listened to rumors before, which made you feel wronged, but now that the misunderstanding is gone, you can be regarded as guarding the clouds." Mrs. Xu said to Yanya.

Mrs. Xu saw that Yanya was generous and had no complaints about the repentance of the marriage, thinking that Xu Linhai's words by the West Lake had an effect. She agreed with her son's repentance of marriage before, naturally because she felt that her son could be worthy of a high-ranking lady, and this time her son wanted to fulfill the marriage contract again, she was unwilling, but gave birth to two sons who were so promising, and when her husband was alive, he always arranged family affairs directly, and when he died, the two children arranged the family affairs properly, and the family was already two people in charge, and this mother has not been worried.

The pride of his son, the girls all yearn for it, being willing to marry her, the daughter of a businessman, is already a great degrading, even if she was a little unhappy before, it will not affect the choice, Mrs. Xu thought to herself, and her face also showed a smug look.

Yanya was very angry in her heart, the Xu family completely forgot the help given by the Gao family in times of difficulty before, and did not say a word about repentance, as if there was no such thing, but instead put on a condescending and noble appearance.

She still doesn't understand that an upstart is naturally reluctant to take the initiative to mention his past embarrassment, with the current identity and status of the Xu family, the natural hand that she likes will be caught, and people are eager to send it up.

"I see this girl very like, you see today's embroidery, ingenious, it is rare, it is really ingenious, it is naturally filial to you in the future." Mrs. Li smiled at Mrs. Xu.

"Mrs. To's good words!" Mrs. Xu also smiled.

"I don't know what to say?" After hearing this, Yanya asked with a slight frown.

"Don't worry, when you enter the gate of my Xu family in the future, I will naturally not treat you badly. That Yunxian can only be a concubine in the end, and Linhai will be measured. Mrs. Xu smiled.

These people decided the matter without listening to the Gao family's opinion.

After calming down her mood, Yan Ya said solemnly: "Mrs. Xu, I think you may have misunderstood, the Gao family and the Xu family have dissolved the marriage contract, naturally the marriage of men and women has nothing to do with each other, how can I talk about my entry into the door of the Xu family, so what does Yun Xian have to do with me." ”

Mrs. Xu was startled, looked at Mrs. Li, and said with a depressed face: "Are you blaming Linhai?" I didn't know much about you before Linhai, and it was normal to have some misunderstandings. This time Linhai went to the capital to catch the exam, and before leaving, he specially told me about it, I am not boasting, as long as our Xu family agrees in this Hangzhou City, there is no girl who does not want to enter our Xu family, you have to think about it, don't miss the opportunity, and regret it for life. ”

Yan Ya smiled faintly: "Naturally, I think clearly, Xu Gongzi is talented, ambitious, and good-looking, I was born in a family of businessmen, how dare I climb high, I wish Xu Gongzi the title of the gold list as soon as possible, and I have to marry a good couple." ”

When Mrs. Xu heard this, her face immediately turned cold: "It's not impossible for the girl's family to be a little reserved and proud, but don't go too far." ”

"My words are from the bottom of my heart, from the heart, and Madame observes." Yanya looked at Mrs. Xu and said firmly.

Mrs. Xu was very angry when she saw Yanya like this, and Mrs. Li was also embarrassed when she saw this.

"You haven't passed the door yet, so rude to your future mother-in-law, I remember that you were also a little wronged some time ago, and I don't care about you." Mrs. Xu snorted.

"Mrs. Xu, let me remind you that the marriage contract between Xu Gao and the two families has been invalidated." Yan Ya Zheng said.

"Void? You go back and ask the elders if it's really invalid! Mrs. Xu sneered.

Yan Ya was shocked when she heard this, her face was bloodless all of a sudden, and she suddenly stood up, she didn't know what Mrs. Xu said, she couldn't hold her head for a while, she stumbled a few steps, and finally stabilized, no matter what the two of them thought of her, whether she was rude or not, she immediately said goodbye to the two ladies.

When he got out of the hospital, he didn't see Tan Yin, so he asked the maid Qiuyue to look for it immediately. Qiu Yue saw Mrs. Li nodding, so she went immediately.

Yanya stood in the courtyard and waited for Tan Yin to come over, as if there were all over the world in her heart, and she didn't know what to do.

Mrs. Li also came out, and when she saw that she was so stubborn, she was very pityful. This girl is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, she doesn't admire the powerful, and she is smart and beautiful, she is really a rare good girl.

While waiting for Tan Yin, she couldn't help but comfort Yan Ya, and in front of the governor's wife, Yan Ya could only force a laugh.
