In his previous life, because of the Li family, Yu Tang had heard of the families in several county capitals around Lin'an. Therefore, when Yi Laoan and Pei Laoan talked about the marriage of the second lady, she pricked up her ears and listened to it.

"It's my cousin's grandson, who grew up in my cousin's house, and also followed my cousin's nephew. Until now, the people who serve me are still from my cousin's family, and the child's character and virtue are trustworthy, and he is the same age. It just depends on whether the two of them are fateful. "Yi Lao'an is humane.

She is about the same age as Pei Laoan, but she is not as well-maintained as Pei Laoan's sister as the second wife. Her hair was gray, wrapped in a forehead bandana, the corners of her eyes and forehead were already wrinkled, but her eyes were smiling and loving.

It can be seen that Pei Lao'an has a good relationship with her, and said bluntly: "Then what is the situation in his family now?" Even if the child is good, it is quite troublesome to have a step-mother-in-law. ”

Yi Lao'an laughed softly and said, "This child's stepmother is no one else, she is a girl from your Qian family, although she is a side branch, her upbringing and conduct are good." You might even recognize me if I say it. ”

The Qian family is a big family, and Lao An used to be a girl from the sect, and the girls from the side branch family may not all know everything.

"What room is it? What's the name of the girl? Pei Laoan people are interested.

"It's the side branch of the eighth room outside your Qian family, and her name is Xiao'e." Yi Lao'an expected her to be like this, and said with a smile, "She said she knew you." This time, when the child comes, she will also accompany her to say hello to you. also wants to talk to the Pei family. ”

Pei Laoan thought about it again and again, but he really couldn't remember that there was such a girl in his mother's family.

She said apologetically: "I'll send someone back to my mother's house to ask, so that I don't know anything when I meet." ”

That's what it means to say yes.

Yi Lao'an nodded and said: "The child's father is not a fool, when he found someone to protect the child, he said that in addition to his biological mother's dowry, he is the eldest son in the family, and it should be his penny." I want to find the second girl in our family, just thinking that the second girl will be able to preside over the feed when she enters the door in the future, so that there is someone to take care of the child. I thought I wanted the child to go back to his hometown to study. ”

There are so many people who fail the imperial examination several times that it is impossible for them all to live in the capital to prepare for the exam. It is estimated that the family wants their son to stay in his hometown to study and manage affairs after marrying the second girl, and he will bring his stepfamily to live in office.

That's good, too.

You don't have to set rules in front of your stepmother-in-law.

Yu Tang thought about it, and the fifth lady, who was making silk flowers with her behind the blue yarn cupboard, quietly came over and whispered to her: "Sister Yu, we won't tell the fourth sister." ”

Miss Fourth has always wanted to know who is on a blind date with Miss Two.

Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled, and nodded.

Hearing Mrs. Yi say that the man's name was "Yang Yan", she wondered if this "Yang Yan" was the "Yang Yan" she knew in her previous life.

In her previous life, she knew that Yang Yan was from Tonglu, and their family had a tea mountain, producing a kind of tea called "Snow Water Cloud Green", which was shaped like a silver sword, fluffy and faintly green, the soup was tender and green, and the entrance was sweet, which was Lin's favorite, and people would be sent to Yang's house to buy tea every year.

Before she died, the Yang family's tea became tribute tea.

And it was Yang Yan who did this.

Yu Tang was very impressed.

It can be seen that this Yang Yan is capable.

If it was this Yang Yan who was talking about, Yu Tang felt that it should be not bad.

When Pei Lao'an sent Yi Lao'an to rest, she asked Aunt Ji, who personally served tea in the house: "Does Yang Gongzi's family grow tea?" ”

Aunt Ji said "ouch": "Miss Yu also knows about this family? ”

Yu Tang hurriedly said: "I heard that their tea is good. ”

Aunt Ji didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "It's their family." Their family's tea is fragrant and sweet, and this time Yi Lao'an people came over and brought a lot of their tea. Later, I'll ask the teahouse to bring some to your house, and you can try it too. ”

The fifth lady on the side said: "The second sister's marriage has not yet been completed, and our family will drink their tea, is it appropriate?" ”

The people around Lao Anren like the somewhat childish and introverted Miss Five, as if they were afraid of scaring her, and every time she asked, they would answer softly and in detail. This time was no exception.

Aunt Ji said: "It was brought by Yi Lao'an, then we just remember the good of Yi Lao'an." If it was sent by the Yang family, we naturally couldn't ask for it. ”

The fifth lady nodded and whispered to Gu Tang: "That family's surname is 'Yang', and it has the same surname as my aunt's mother's family!" ”

Yu Tang was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Miss Fifth meant by this, Miss Five had already changed the topic and said, "Sister Yu, apart from tea, do you know something else about the Yang family?" ”

"I don't know." Yu Tang said embarrassedly, "I also occasionally drank their tea to know about the Yang family." Specifically, I'm afraid I have to ask Yi Lao'an. ”

"My mom must know, too." The fifth lady's eyes rolled slightly, and she whispered, "Sister Yu, let's go and ask my mother." ”

It's not so much that she cares about the marriage of the second miss, but that she wants to know more about the man's situation, so that she can show off in front of the fourth miss and make the fourth miss anxious.

Yu Tang Wan'er, unwilling to accompany her to mess around, said: "If this family business is completed, if you want to inquire, I will definitely accompany you." But these eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, we ask back and forth like this, in case it doesn't work, Miss Yu's face will be dull! ”

The fifth lady thought about it and no longer insisted on inquiring about the Yang family.

But they didn't inquire, but Gu Xi inquired and understood.

For dinner, the Lao An people picked up the wind and washed the dust for the Yi Lao An people. After everyone had eaten, they moved to the second room on the east side to drink tea, and Lao An and Yi Lao An were served by the second wife, talking to Mrs. Shen in a low voice, and a few juniors whispered to their own corners.

Lao Anren didn't know what he said, Yi Lao Anren called the second lady over, and the fourth lady immediately jumped out and asked the fifth miss a little proudly: "Do you know whose family the second sister is going to marry?" It is the Yang family of Tonglu. The eldest son of their family. ”

The fifth lady lost the opportunity, felt that her face was dull, her little face was flushed, and she looked at Yu Tang with very aggrieved eyes, as if to say, "It's just that you didn't let me inquire, but now it's okay, the fourth sister knows more than I know."

Yu Tang stroked his forehead, and was thinking about how to comfort the fifth miss, when the voices of the elders suddenly stopped, and several young ladies didn't know why, but they also quieted down and looked at Lao Anren.

I saw Lao Anren's expression faint, raised his hand and took a sip of tea gently, and said: "I will be removed from the service in May next year, and I have to think carefully about the family affairs of Yaoguang." However, you also know our family, from the generation of the old man, I don't really advocate that the marriage should be arranged by the parents, how can you also take a look at each other to see if there is an eye relationship, otherwise there is a pair of resentful couples in the family, it is easy to make trouble without saying anything, and it is easy to make the chicken and dog restless. So Yaoguang's family affairs, I want him to pick by himself, if he is satisfied, there is nothing that cannot be done on my side. ”

This is talking about Pei Yan's marriage!

When a few juniors heard this, they didn't dare to make a sound, and several pairs of eyes were all staring at a few elders.

Yi Lao'an was fine, and said with a smile: "To say so, it can't be too outrageous." He can marry whatever he wants, and you have to ask about it. ”

Lao Anren sighed, and wanted to say something, but Mrs. Shen suddenly said in a somewhat sharp voice: "Since ancient times, marriage should be decided by parents, how can Lao Anren let the third master come nonsense!" I've heard that the Li family valued the third master very much, and even took the initiative to propose a marriage between the two families, but the third master was lukewarm, and he never got hired. The third master of your family is also too arrogant. Even if she doesn't look down on the girl of the Li family, Lord Li is like a nephew to him, and even after the death of the eldest master, Lord Li has also helped a lot. Otherwise, how can there be a place in your parents' room? ”

Yu Tang and Gu Xi were both stunned.

Lao Anren raised his eyebrows, slapped on the couch with a slap, and several porcelains staggered and made a crisp collision sound: "If you can't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb!" I'm your elder anyway, do you have such a disrespectful speech in front of your elders? Forgive our family for not being well entertained, and our family can't receive guests like you. Aunt Chen, you go down the mountain and tell Mr. Shen that he will come early tomorrow morning to pick up people. ”

Suddenly, such a change occurred, and everyone was amazed.

Especially Mrs. Shen, who was directly driven away by Lao Anren, stood up suddenly, her face was so red as if she was about to drip blood, and the corners of her mouth were twinning, "You, you, you" didn't say anything for a long time.

Yi Lao'an was dumbfounded, holding the hand of the mother-in-law next to him, looking at a loss.

Lao Anren didn't mean to turn off the fire, and sneered: "What? Am I not right! Let me tell you, this is the Pei family, not the Shen family. The Shen family is a self-owned reader, it is not good to have the same knowledge as you, and let you everywhere, you really treat yourself as a green onion, thinking that you are right to do everything. Today I will not allow you to have such a temper, and I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents, and tell you how to behave. Then he asked her aggressively: "Who told you that our family doesn't look down on Miss Li anymore?" Have you seen it with your own eyes or heard it with your own ears when you have lived in the countryside for a long time? Don't you usually claim to be a reader? How can you still spread falsehoods! As soon as we entered the officialdom, we won the appreciation of Lord Zhang and Lord Li, who was his mentor, and it was also appropriate for our family to be taken care of by him. Lord Keli is different, how can our family not go to greet him often?

"This is really in response to the saying 'the benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise'. In the hearts of people like you, our family Yaoguang and Master Li have ulterior motives, and if you don't get involved in some interests, you won't be happy if you don't take on some children's affection. I didn't say anything about my imagination in my heart, and I still spread rumors everywhere. I said, why is it that the Chuanli family always takes a fancy to us and wants our family to be their son-in-law, it turns out that you long-tongued women are chewing the root of the tongue there. Are you full and have nothing to do? If you have nothing to do, you will take care of your own son and daughter-in-law first.

"It's been more than ten years, and the head of the family doesn't go back, do you think that people outside praise you as a virtuous woman when they talk about you?

"Figure out your own affairs first, and then point out other people's affairs!"

Mrs. Shen was scolded by Lao Anren and her face turned blue and white for a while, and she suddenly covered her face with her sleeves and ran out.

Lao Anren did not give up, and said to Aunt Chen in a loud voice: "You take someone to watch her, she is going to die, and she has to die in the Shen family, die in the Wang family, don't dirty our family's land." ”

Mrs. Shen's maiden name is Wang.
