Chapter 17: The Lin Family
At this time, Mrs. Li once again broke Yu Tang's impression of her.
Her expression was still a little arrogant, but she spoke softly, smiled kindly, looked at Yu Tang and Ma Xiuniang and said, "This is the pearl of the two of them!" It's really Chunlan and Autumn Chrysanthemum, each with its own merits. Mrs. Tang mentioned it to me before, and I thought it was Mrs. Tang's exaggeration, but I didn't expect that I was shallow in knowledge. ”
Chen and Mrs. Ma are not good at socializing, and they have never dealt with Mrs. Li before, so they can't help but be a little reserved, and they are busy and humbly saying kind words such as "where, where" and "Mrs. has won the award".
Mrs. Li looked like she was familiar with Chen and Mrs. Ma at first sight, and continued to praise Yu Tang and Ma Xiuniang, and took out two jade pendants from her sleeves to give Yu Tang and Ma Xiuniang a meeting gift, saying that she didn't expect to meet the two of them here.
Reach out and don't hit the smiley person. What's more, Li Yi has been smooth sailing in the past few years, and has achieved the Rizhao prefect, and Mrs. Li's maiden family is said to be a big businessman in Fujian, even if it is a little pampered, it is understandable. What's more, she treated them politely, and Chen and Mrs. Ma immediately felt that Mrs. Li was still a good person. So he told his daughter to accept the meeting gift, and made an appointment to come to the door next time to thank him.
Mrs. Li smiled: "Bring the two little ladies when the time comes." I only gave birth to two sons, like a demon king in the world, and I have always wanted to have a daughter, but I didn't have such a good fate. After saying that, he let out a long sigh.
Chen's health was not good in the past, he rarely went out, he really didn't know much about the Li family, Mrs. Ma was a little better than Chen's, there were only so many Jinshi, Juren, and Xiucai in the city, and there were always weddings and funerals. Seeing Mrs. Li complimenting them, she also reciprocated and complimented Mrs. Li and said, "We also envy Mrs. for having a good son, who won the lift at a young age!" If that bastard boy in our family had half of the son's fighting, I would have woken up in the middle of the night laughing. ”
Whether it is in the past life or in this life, Li Duan is the pride of Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Ma tickled her tickle socket.
She couldn't help but look proud, and talked endlessly about Li Duan: "Mrs. Ma is too awarded!" That kid didn't let me worry about reading...... Since he was a child, he has been frail and sickly, for fear that he will not grow up...... When it comes to the age of marrying a wife, it is another headache...... Fortunately, the Gu family saw that he was a scholar and agreed to this family business...... I hope that he can get married as soon as possible, and when he ends next year, he will be able to inscribe his name in the spring......"
If the most satisfying thing for Mrs. Li in this life is her son Li Duan's career, then the second thing that makes her proud is to help Li Duan marry the eldest daughter of the second room of the Gu family in Hangzhou Mansion.
The four surnames of Jiangnan.
Gu, Shen, Lu, Qian.
Li Duan's wife, Gu Xi, is the girl of the Gu family in Hangzhou.
Chen and Mrs. Ma both listened with great interest, and praised a few words from time to time.
Yu Tang watched coldly.
It seems that there is only Li Duanzhong Lingyuxiu in the whole world, as if he is a character.
She thought of what Li Duan had done to her at the beginning, and when she tactfully asked the Lin family for help, the Lin family scolded her for being shameless and seduced Li Duan......
Yu Tang couldn't help but want the Lin family to also taste that sadness, pain and even despair.
She deliberately whispered to Ma Xiuniang in confusion in a voice that seemed to lower her voice, but could actually be heard by everyone next to her: "How old is the eldest son of the Li family?" I just heard from the people in the house that Master Pei San was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of 21. ”
Lin Shi felt as if he had been punched, and his words stopped abruptly.
Chen's face turned red, and he scolded Yu Tang: "What nonsense? Master Pei San's affairs are also something you can discuss. Then he apologized to Lin, "The child is not sensible, don't take it to heart." ”
But Lin's smile still cracked.
Mrs. Tang saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly smiled and relieved the Lin family: "Tong Yan is unscrupulous!" Childlike words! ”
Hearing this, Lin smiled reluctantly at Chen with a look of forcibly suppressing his anger
Yu Tang was secretly surprised.
When did Lin have such a good temper!
I think that at the beginning, when she married into the Li family, the Lin family could say whatever she wanted, even if Gu Xi, the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, was not as good as the Lin family's intentions, the Lin family would attack without showing affection.
It can be seen that the Lin family is not really angry.
It's just that I don't want to put up with my daughter-in-law at all.
Yu Tang mocked in his heart.
I heard Lin continue: "I'm just a little talkative, and I can't stop talking as soon as I speak. ”
"Everybody's the same." Chan and Mrs. Ma entertained her.
Who knew that the Lin family had no intention of dispersing at all, and actually continued: "This family has a scripture that is difficult to read. In our family, although I love the eldest son, the most distressed thing is the younger son. He was four years younger than his brother, and he was the second son, so he didn't have to inherit the family business, so my mother-in-law got used to it and developed a temperament that was not sophisticated. Now I'm eighteen, I don't know anything, I dislike the maid at home and the mother-in-law is verbose, I don't let me serve closely, I follow the little guy around me all day long, and the entourage rides and bows, or I follow the bookkeeper at home to check the accounts in the shop, and I will die of worry about his marriage! ”
After speaking, he glanced at Yu Tang deeply.
Everyone present was stunned.
Especially Yu Tang.
What kind of fate is this between her and the Li family?
In her previous life, she said that Li Jun had taken a fancy to her, but in this life she avoided Li Jun, but she seemed to be looked down upon by the Lin family.
Thank you so much, though.
The daughter-in-law of the Li family, she is not rare at all.
Thinking of this, she suddenly thought of Gu Xi.
If Gu Xi also knew what would happen if she married into the Li family, I am afraid she would not marry Li Duan!
Or will her marriage with Li Duan be ruined?
The Lin family will be so angry that they jump three feet high!
Yu Tang felt a little happy just thinking about it.
Chen reacted at this point.
Dare to love this Mrs. Li said so much, she took a fancy to their family Yutang!
She had clearly rejected Mrs. Tang just now, why did Mrs. Li still block them from talking about this!
Chan is self-aware.
If it is about appearance, their family Ah Tang is also married to the Pei family. But if this marriage is all about appearance, how can there be a person who says this?
She glanced at Mrs. Tang.
Mrs. Tang didn't dare to look at her, as if she was very weak-hearted.
Chan understood.
It turned out that Mrs. Tang had a "chance encounter" with them in the hall before, and she was entrusted by Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li chatted with her awkwardly here despite the strangeness of the two families, it turned out that she was not giving up!
This kind of thing can't be delayed, and if it drags it around, it is easy to give birth to a lot of gossip.
Their family Ah Tang has also reached the age of saying marriage, but this cannot affect the marriage.
Chen smiled and said to Lin: "You have the same heart disease as me. There is only one girl in our family, and her father is afraid of falling in his hand, and he is afraid of melting in his mouth, so he is determined to come to the door for his son-in-law. But where is this trick for my son-in-law to come to the door, my hair is gone. ”
Lin was stunned.
Yu Tang steals fun.
Lin didn't expect that he would be rejected!
Lin's smile couldn't be maintained any longer. She hastily said a few words to Chen, and then hurriedly said goodbye to Mrs. Tang.
Yu Tang couldn't wait to hug her mother and kiss them.
She looked at Lin's back and was very relieved, and decided to give Lin another "gift".
"Mom," she said with a smile, "the Li family in the south of the city, is it the Li family that sells fruits?" ”
Li Yizu started by selling fruits.
Of course, this was decades ago.
Not much is known in Lin'an City today.
After she married into the Li family, she occasionally listened to a servant of the Li family.
Lin's family is engaged in the silk and tea business, and it has been a big businessman for several generations. She is very taboo for others to say that the ancestors of the Li family are fruit sellers.
Neither Chan nor Mrs. Ma had heard of it.
They didn't know how to answer for a while.
Yu Tang saw that Lin obviously stumbled and almost fell.
The villain in Yu Tang's heart laughed. She decided to send some more "gifts" to the Lin family: "Mom, haven't you all heard of it? Mrs. Wang, who set up a tea stall on East Street, and Ah Liuke, who sells pears in Xiaomeixi, all know it. ”
"Really?" Chen and Mrs. Ma thought that Yu Tang was just chatting and responded casually.
Yu Tang felt that the Lin family was a little untenable.
She grinned, and wanted to sarcastically say two more words about Lin, but the corner of her eye suddenly swept to a person standing in the corridor next to her.
Yu Tang raised his eyes and looked at it, his face was suddenly embarrassed, and he took two steps back.
Now it was her turn and she almost fell.
Ma Xiuniang quickly helped her and said with concern: "What's wrong with you?" Didn't stand firm, broke your foot? ”
"No, no." Yu Tang blushed and said, "I'm fine!" ”
The person stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck to look behind Ma Xiuniang.
Ma Xiuniang looked at her.
The corridor with black and gray roof, green oil, bamboo branches, empty but full of thick green, far away, a cool wind blows in the face.
"What are you looking at?" Several people asked Yu Tang puzzled.
"Didn't see anything! Didn't see anything! Yu Tang whitewashed the peace and pulled his mother's sleeve, "Leave the host An." Let's hurry back! ”
Everyone is tired too.
"Okay!" Mrs. Ma warmly invited Chen's mother and daughter, "If you have free time, go to our house to sit down, her father went to Hangzhou Mansion, and it will take seven or eight days to come back, you are here, just to be my companion." ”
Chen answered, talked to Mrs. Ma's mother and daughter, went to say hello to Yuwen, and went home.
Yu Tang has been absent-minded.
What was her luck during this time? How can you meet the third master of the Pei family wherever you go.
And it was when she was most embarrassed - she was at Pei's house just now, so she smiled.
On such a solemn occasion of the funeral, she actually smiled, and she smiled very cheerfully, and was caught by the third master of the Pei family.
Will he think that he has no respect for the deceased?
Moreover, his face just now was so ugly.
It's so gloomy that it drips ink.
I don't know if he was so angry when he heard her laugh? Or is he just in a bad mood?
However, how could he go there and happen to meet them again?
Did he only see himself laughing, or did he even hear her sarcastic words about Lin?
Yu Tang sighed.
She probably didn't have a good one in his heart!
Yu Tang thought of the Pei family's flower trees that had been pinched.
A large slice of green.
No variegation.
I don't know if she will be disposed of by him like the flowers on those flower trees......
But, then again, he's a little too narrow-minded.
A little thing is a straight face.
Or is it a chuckus?
But now that his father has died, he should have to keep filial piety at home, right?
They may encounter ...... again in the future
Why is she so unlucky.
Yu Tang was depressed for several days.
