Chapter Twenty-Six: Seeing Each Other
The couple happily said to themselves, the eldest aunt Wang took the freshly listed pears over, saying that it was for Yu Tang to taste, and the concubine couldn't help but talk about Yu Tang's marriage, knowing that the shopkeeper Tong wanted to protect Yu Tang, Wang said happily: "Set the date, you remember to call me, and I will also go to see." ”
Chen smiled: "I don't know if it can be done?" Just to probe the wind. ”
Wang smiled disapprerovingly: "Just by virtue of our family's Ah Tang, only she picks others, how can anyone else pick her." ”
Chen was obviously looking forward to this marriage, and said with a smile, "Borrow your auspicious words".
Or it was really fate, the shopkeeper Tong quickly replied, saying that the second and third sons of the Wei family were the same age as Yu Tang, and they were chosen by the Yu family.
Wang smiled from ear to ear, and said to Yu Bo: "I think this Wei family is a real person, maybe it's really a good family business!" ”
Yu Tang is the pearl of the family, not to mention the major events related to her life, although Yu Bo did not ask in person, but he was also very concerned, and carefully told Wang: "You are older than your younger siblings, and you are the most stable and proper to act, Ah Tang's matter, you have to take a good look, everything is secondary, this temperament is the first important." Home and everything is prosperous. If you have a bad temper, no matter how capable, decent, and honest you are, you will not be comfortable. ”
"Got it, got it!" When Wang talked about this, he thought of his son, and when he was sitting in front of the mirror and combing his hair, he said to Yu Bo, "Yuan'er's marriage, do you also have an idea." ”
Wang wanted to marry his mother's brother before, who knew that the child died when he was eight years old, Wang was startled, and went to the temple to tell Yu Yuan's fortune, saying that Yu Yuan should not marry early, and his marriage has been delayed until now.
The Yu family's heirs are thin, and they have always valued their children. Yu Bo didn't dare to make up his mind casually, and said, "I'll talk to Huili about it." He asked Wang again, "Do the two children look at each other, or are they determined who they look at?" ”
Wang said with a smile: "What my brother and sister mean, the second son is two years older than Ah Tang, he is older and more sensible, so he looks at the second son of their family." ”
Yu Bo nodded and stopped talking about the matter.
Yu Tang's side of the matter is coming to an end, but he is a little uneasy in his heart.
Is your marriage just decided?
I don't know what that person named Wei Xiaoshan looks like? What is the personality? What do you think of this family business?
She let out a long sigh and told herself that the Wei family was full of sincerity, and the eldest son of the Wei family heard that he had also been admitted to the Tongsheng Examination. But thinking about one thing, but the heart is not under her control, it is always wilting, and it can't be interested.
When it came to the day of seeing each other, Chen invited Ma Xiuniang to accompany Yu Tang.
Because the place to see each other is set in Zhaoming Temple, in addition to hiring carriages and horses and preparing dry food, the Yu family also has to set a fasting table in Zhaoming Temple and invite someone in the middle...... Chen was busy, Yu Tang had the heart to cover up, Chen didn't find Yu Tang's abnormality, but Ma Xiuniang did.
She made an excuse to send out the double peach who was serving in the house, took Yu Tang's hand and whispered: "What's wrong with you?" Dissatisfied? Or are there other ...... Thoughts? If there is nothing obvious wrong, this matter will be settled eight or nine times out of ten. If you feel bad about anything, say it sooner rather than later. Once this family matter is decided, you have a thousand or ten thousand ideas, but you have to press them in my heart for the rest of your life. This is no joke. It will harm others and oneself. ”
Ma Xiuniang never believed that Yu Tang was not moved at all in the face of Li Jun, a person who couldn't find fault with his appearance or sincerity.
Yu Tang smiled at Ma Xiuniang, but she didn't know how reluctant her smile was.
"I know." She said in a low voice, "My mom and daddy are not unreasonable people. I just think, just get married like this......"
She was a little scared.
Thinking about the beginning, Li Duan and Gu Xi, I don't know how many people envy them. It's her, before she discovered Li Duan's obscene thoughts, didn't she also think that their husband and wife drank and added fragrance to their thrushes, and they were a pair of winged birds?
Ma Xiuniang didn't believe it, but she was afraid that she would say too much and cause Yu Tang's disgust, so she wouldn't tell her anything in the future, and ran to Zhaoming Temple to meet Li Jun like before, causing more trouble. It's better for her to look at it and don't let anything happen to Yu Tang.
"Everyone is the same!" She simply followed Yu Tang's words to appease Yu Tang, "Look at me, I and Zhang Gongzi can be regarded as having known each other since childhood, but I really said that I was married and set a marriage, and I haven't been beating the drum in my heart." I'm afraid it's not done well here, it's not done well. Wait a few days, and it will be fine. ”
Yu Tang thanked Ma Xiuniang with a smile, as if he was comforted by her words, but in fact, he was even more uneasy.
Her fear is not the same as what Ma Xiuniang said.
She is not afraid that the environment has changed, nor is she afraid that she will have a bad life after she gets married, what she is afraid of is that she does not want to marry this person......
The thought flashed, and Yu Tang was stunned.
She, didn't she want to marry this person in the first place?
But what's wrong with this person?
Isn't that what everyone is? The life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. If you have the right door, you can get married.
The Wei family also bent their waist to the ground, and the two sons were chosen by their family, what else was she dissatisfied with?
What kind of person is she looking for?
Yu Tang was taken aback by himself. I want to talk to Ma Xiuniang, but I don't know where to start.
Chen was already urging them outside: "Have you cleaned up?" The carriage has arrived, and we have to rush to Zhaoming Temple for lunch! ”
Ma Xiuniang hurriedly responded, helped Yu Tang tidy up and went out.
No matter how many words Yu Tang has, he was blocked in his throat.
Zhaoming Temple is still as tall and majestic as before, but in the eyes of Yu Tang at this time, he feels that it is too noisy and flashy, and does not have the majesty and solemnity of guarding a big town.
Maybe it's because my mood has changed, and my feeling of seeing something has also changed.
She secretly pondered in her heart that she was taken to the Heavenly King Hall by the Chen family.
There are many people who come to accompany Yu Tang to see each other, in addition to Yu Wen and his family, the female relatives are Ma Xiuniang and Wang, and the male guests are Tong Shopkeeper and Yu Bo and Yu Yuan.
According to the agreement with the Wei family, after the two families had lunch, everyone went to visit the back mountain, and then pretended to meet by chance at the Xibi Spring in the back mountain, and the people of the two families took the opportunity to look at each other.
Yu Tang had lunch with a heavy heart, held hands with Ma Xiuniang, followed behind Chen and Wang, and went to Xibi Spring.
In order not to dominate the crowd, Ma Xiuniang wore a burnt cloth armor today, a gilded hairpin, and a pair of clove earrings, which was very simple. Yu Tang wore a silver-red plain Hangzhou silk inlaid with willow green filigree teeth, combed a double screw bun, and inserted a tooth comb inlaid with lapis lazuli, which was gorgeous and playful.
The people of the Wei family saw Yu Tang at a glance in the crowd.
Mrs. Wei was very satisfied before she could wait for her son to express her position.
When I looked back at my son, my son was already flushed and couldn't lift his head.
Mrs. Wei couldn't help but purse her lips and laughed.
The people of the Yu family also saw Wei Xiaoshan at a glance.
He wore a new dress with pleats, tall, burly, a little dark, but with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a little heroic in his generosity, he was a very spirited young man. When I look at Yu Tang, my eyes are shining, shiny, and I can see the joy at a glance. Not to mention the people of the Yu family, even Yu Tang, who was still a little unhappy when he came, had a good impression of him, and his fluttering heart suddenly became a little more stable.
If that's it, that's fine.
Thinking in her heart, she couldn't help but take a closer look at the people of the Wei family.
Father Wei looked like a taciturn farmer; Mrs. Wei is shrewd and exposed, but her eyes are clear; The eldest son of the Wei family looks very similar to Wei Xiaoshan, but he is a little more elegant than his younger brother; The eldest sister-in-law of the Wei family is also good, delicate and gentle, speaking slowly and logically, looking like she has read a book. There is also a companion, Mrs. Wei's sister-in-law, who looks shrewd and capable. However, the old fifth Wei Xiaochuan who came over with the Wei family, who had just turned ten years old, had been a little angry since he saw Yu Tang. When the two families were talking, he fell behind everyone, I don't know when he broke a branch, swept the knee-high weeds on the side of the road for a while, beat the branches around him for a while, and made some movement from time to time, interrupting the interest of the two families in talking.
Mrs. Wei looked at it and frowned, called her eldest son over and whispered a few words, Wei Xiaoyuan, the eldest son of the Wei family, took Wei Xiaochuan to the side with a calm face, and reprimanded him in a low voice, Wei Xiaochuan actually lost his temper and ran away.
The people of the Yu family looked at it and were a little strange.
Mrs. Wei should have been observing the faces of the Yu family, and hurriedly explained to Chen: "This child is the youngest, and he has been spoiled by the family. I didn't take him today, but when I arrived at Zhaoming Temple, I found that he didn't know when he followed, so I had to take him with me. In-laws...... Well, Mrs. Yu don't take it to heart. I'll teach him a good lesson when I go back. ”
Chen is the person who respects me a foot and I respect you, seeing Mrs. Wei's politeness, he hurriedly said: "Children are so naughty, Mrs. Wei doesn't have to take it to heart." ”
When Mrs. Wei heard this, she immediately talked to Chen. Although what he said was all about daily trivialities, it could be seen that he was very attentive to the Chen family and wanted to marry the Yu family very much.
Chen was also satisfied with Mrs. Wei's family, and when they dispersed, they made it clear that they would let Mrs. Wei be a guest at home when she was free.
The people of the Wei family, including Wei's father, were all happy.
When she went back, Ma Xiuniang also kept praising Wei Xiaoshan.
Yu Tang sighed, lifted the curtain and looked back at the Zhaoming Temple that was gradually moving away, and it took a long time for a pounding heart to slowly calm down.
Early the next morning, the Wei family invited a matchmaker to come to the door, and after a basket of words, the smile on Chen's face never faded, but he still said that he would consider it according to custom.
The matchmaker knew that this family business was nine out of ten, and Huan Huanxi took Chen's bounty and left.
The eldest aunt thought about the rumors that everyone had talked about Yu Tang's arrogance and arrogance to recruit a scholar as her son-in-law, and she had the intention to spread this family business.
