Chapter 25: Rumors

Chen and Wang's concerns are not unreasonable.

Soon, there was a rumor that "the daughter of the Yu family didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick because she relied on her own appearance, and she wanted to recruit a scholar to be her son-in-law", and when this rumor reached the ears of Chen and Yu Tang, Lin'an City had spread loudly, and few people didn't know.

Chen was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.

Yu Tang was afraid that she would have a bad idea, so he hurriedly asked Ah Tao to ask for a doctor.

Chen grabbed Yu Tang's hand, his eyes suddenly moistened, and said, "Ah Tang, I went and invited your aunt over, I have something to say to her." ”

When Yu Tang heard this, he pondered in his heart.

If she pretends to be a little girl again, I am afraid that she will not discuss any major matters in the family, but she knows the results of many things, and if she wants her parents to believe her, she has to come up with means to make her parents feel that she is capable and knowledgeable, and can help the family solve the dilemma.

"Mommy!" Yu Tang made up his mind, not only did he not invite his aunt, but also sat at the head of Chen's bed, and said bluntly, "Are you for those rumors outside?" ”

Chen didn't want to bother his daughter, and said, "Don't worry about the adult's affairs, let you go and invite your aunt, you can go and invite it." Obedient! ”

Yu Tang smiled: "Mom, I've grown up." There are some things you can try to talk to me about. If I'm not right, it's not too late for you to find your aunt. ”

Chen was stunned.

Yu Tang said: "If you are looking for the eldest aunt for something else, I will go and invite the eldest aunt." If it were for the rumors about my marriage, I would have an idea. You might as well listen to it. ”

Chen looked at his daughter with a confident look, and couldn't help but hesitate.

Yu Tang smiled: "Actually, this matter is not difficult. All you need to do is invite an official media to come to your home, and then give her a sum of money and tell her what kind of son-in-law our family is going to recruit! ”

Chen Shi hurriedly said: "How can this work? The state media is usually unreliable. ”

Yu Tang smiled: "We don't really want the official media to protect the media, what does it matter if it is reliable or not?" ”

Chen sat up straight in surprise and hurriedly said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Yu Tang told his mother carefully: "Think about it, I don't know where the gossip outside came from, we can't find anything even if we want to find out, even if we find out, others can say 'just talk about it casually', so that we can't do anything about others." The best way to deal with this kind of thing is for us to spread the word. Didn't those people say that I don't know the sky and the earth is thick, and I want to recruit a scholar to be my son-in-law? Let's just announce the conditions for recruiting a son-in-law, let those rumors be self-defeating, and this matter will be solved? ”

Chen still couldn't turn a corner, and said, "Can't we just recruit a son-in-law?" There is no difference between those who have read books and those who have not. Cang Liao knows etiquette, and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing. The family background is too thin, and I can't eat enough, where is there so much exquisiteness? At that time, even if he arrives at our house, he will be red at this today, and he will calculate that tomorrow, and he will make trouble if he has nothing to do. If in the future the child is influenced by the father...... What good life do you have left? ”

"How can you find one at random?" Yu Tang smiled, "You think too much." ”

Chen frowned.

Yu Tang said slowly: "Reading people is not equal to fame!" ”

Chen suddenly realized, clenched his daughter's hand with his backhand, and said continuously: "Why am I so confused, why am I so confused!" ”

Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled.

Chen said excitedly: "Those who have meritorious fame are naturally reluctant to get rich, and even if they do, they will be troublesome in the future." We should find a considerable family, who has studied for a few years, is kind, can write and calculate, can help take care of housework, and will have grandchildren in the future, and the bloodline on the father's side is not bad, and it will definitely not be stupid. If you leave it to your father to teach carefully for a few years, maybe our family can also produce a lifter and a jinshi? The more she said, the more feasible she felt, "Such a person, the parents are definitely not the ones who can't move when they see things, and they will have dealings with us in the future, when multiple relatives move around, if you encounter something, you can still help over there." We can also promise that three generations will return to the family, and then the family name will be followed. ”

Having said this, Chen's depression was swept away and he couldn't sit still.

She called Mrs. Chen in, grabbed a handful of copper coins and gave them to Mrs. Chen, and asked Mrs. Chen to invite the official media to come to the house, and said, "Please have a few more." Anyway, we want to publicize this matter, and the more people there are, the better. ”

When Mrs. Chen saw that Yu Tang's matter had a countermeasure, she was also happy in her heart and left happily.

Chen chuckled, turned around and took his daughter's hand and looked it up and down.

Yu Tang thought that he was different from before, and he inevitably felt a little weak in his heart, and said uncomfortably: "Mom, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I'm watching our family, Ah Tang is really a big girl." The corners of Chen's eyes and eyebrows were full of joy, "In the past, it was my mother and your father who were wrong, and I always felt that you were messing around." But you see what you have been doing these days, although it is very bold, it is also angular, and your ideas are very right. As she spoke, she let out a long sigh and said with relief, "In the past, we didn't have to keep you at home, because we were afraid that you wouldn't be able to support this family." Now it seems that my mother and your father care about it, and I don't know that our family Ah Tang is a good girl with opinions and responsibilities in her bones! ”

You didn't look away!

It was God who gave me another chance to take on this burden when I should be able to take on the responsibility of this family.

The corners of Yu Tang's eyes were slightly red, and he hugged his mother tightly, and muttered with guilt and sadness: "Mom, don't say that, it's me, it's my fault......"

"Look at you, you're talking nonsense again." Where could Chen guess Yu Tang's thoughts, and thought that his daughter didn't know what to say, so he pushed Yu Tang away with a smile, and saw Yu Tang's face full of tears, and said strangely, "What's wrong with you?" ”

's mother didn't know anything, but it made Yu Tang feel both down-to-earth and stable.

She wiped her tears and smiled: "I, I'm fine, it's just that I haven't been praised like this by my mother for a long time!" ”

"You kid!" Chen Shi showed a crying and laughing expression, and said, "Have you embroidered all the uppers that you made?" If you really find a suitable person, you will soon be married. Don't even have to go to the shop to buy shoes. ”

According to the custom in Jiangnan, when the bride recognizes her relatives the next day, she will give shoes and socks made by relatives such as her parents-in-law.

Yu Tang has been happy and not quiet since she was a child, and her parents are pampered, and the female celebrity is naturally very ordinary, and later married into the Li family, seeing that the Lin family treats her badly, she is even more reluctant to do needlework for anyone, and she can't embroider flowers and leaves well. Chen grabbed her and didn't let go, where did she dare to say more, and ran away as soon as she slipped away.

Chen looked at his daughter's back and couldn't stand up with a straight smile, but was bumped into by Yu Wen, who rushed back from Changxing Street.

He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "What is so happy?" I just met Ah Tao and said that you are not in good health, and you need to ask a doctor to come......"

Chen smiled and told Yu Wen what had just happened, and said, "With Ah Tang's idea, my illness must not be cured immediately." ”

"And this kind of thing?!" Yu Wen exclaimed, "Shibei three days, should be impressed." I really didn't expect it. ”

"Not really!"

The couple sighed for a long time.

Yu Wen called Yu Tang to the study and praised her, and gave her a piece of bean paste and green mud inkstone inherited by the Yu family.

Yu Tang took the inkstone and complained to his mother: "Such a precious inkstone, if I use it, Daddy will definitely scream, what kind of reward is this?" It's just a different place for me to help keep it. ”

Chen smiled and nodded Yu Tang's forehead, and said, "Isn't it decent enough to make the bottom of the pressure box for you?" ”

Yu Tang grinned.

Chen loved his daughter and didn't want her to be disappointed, so he went to Yinlou to order a pearl headband, and gave a pair of pearl head flowers to Yu Tang, saying: "When your sister Ma came out of the pavilion, you happened to wear it to drink wedding wine." ”

Yu Tang said in surprise: "Sister Ma's wedding date is set?" ”

Chen nodded with a smile and said, "It's set for the sixth day of the ninth month." Are you ready to add the box? If not, go to the shop and order it. I'll pay for you. ”

Daughter's female red, she doesn't count on it.

Yu Tang wants to send more things to Ma Xiuniang, of course, the more silver, the better.

She asked for an extra five taels of silver from the Chen family, and went to the silver building to order a pair of silver bracelets for Ma Xiuniang, a distraction inlaid with jade.

Soon, the official media publicized the conditions for the Yu family to recruit sons-in-law, and explained: "It's not that the sons of those families are bad, they don't meet the conditions of the Yu family, and there is no way to do it." ”

Everyone felt justified, and the rumors about Yu Tang's "arrogance and arrogance to recruit a scholar as a son-in-law" slowly dispersed.

However, Yu Tang's marriage is also on the hearts of many people.

On this day, Yu Wen came back after sending the Mid-Autumn Festival gift to the shopkeeper Tong, and he was very happy, and said to Chen drunkly: "The shopkeeper Tong said that he wanted to be a matchmaker for our family Ah Tang!" ”

Chen served the decanting soup to Yu Wen, and said happily: "Quantitative media, quantitative media." The shopkeeper Tong is so good, and the family affairs he said must be reliable. Sit down and tell me more. ”

Yu Wen drank the sobering soup in his hand, and said to Chen under the lamp: "Shopkeeper Tong said that he has a friend surnamed Wei, and both of them are Shuangli people. There is an oil mill at home, more than 200 acres of land, and a hill, more than 300 osmanthus trees have been planted. The eldest son must stay at home to inherit the family business, and the other sons should be able to join the family. If I think it's okay, he'll go and get people out to show us at home. Okay, let our Ah Tang make him a pair of shoes to wear. No, it's as if I recognized a nephew. ”

"Five sons?" Chen smiled, "That's a good dare." If this family business is successful, we also have a relative to help us. You see that you are a showman, and you have to take care of the things in the shop yourself. If there were more children in the family, you and Uncle wouldn't have to work so hard. ”

Yu Wen was happy because of Yu Tang's marriage, and joked: "Speaking of which, it's all the blame on the Pei family." If it weren't for the Pei family sponsoring so many students every year, how could Lin'an Mansion produce so many talents. If you look elsewhere, Xiucai is worth a lot of money. Look at our Lin'an again, it's really more popular than people! ”

"Alright, alright, you don't have to say a word." Chen laughed and said, "When you drink alcohol, you talk nonsense." The Pei family is doing good deeds, but is it still in your way? I think that the less valuable our Lin'an Mansion talent is, the better. How nice it sounds to go out! Those who do business outside, others don't dare to bully them at will. ”
