Chapter 225: Selected for the Tea Making Competition
Mrs. Zhou said that the scheming between her daughter-in-law and her granddaughter-in-law made the family miserable, and the aunts and wives around her son were dressed like goblins, eager to hook away the man's soul.
What Mrs. Zhao said was that her son was not angry, and she was afraid that they would lose the family business, and the Zhao family's century-old accumulation would be ruined.
As he spoke, the topic came to Sheng Yanqing's marriage.
Mrs. Sheng said: "The family is thin now, so I look forward to letting Yanqing marry as soon as possible and hug my great-grandson as soon as possible." ”
Mrs. Zhou suddenly realized, "Old sister, are you letting us say that the matchmaker is here?" I'll just say, there's something going on when you invite us here today. ”
Mrs. Sheng smiled and told Mother Tao to add some hot tea.
The Sheng family's business is one of the best in Qingshui Town, and it is a century-old scholarly family, the second master of the Sheng family is handsome, and he is a good hand in business. This kind of family affair is what many people want to break their heads.
It's just that everything pays attention to the right family, and the ones who can be paired with the Sheng family are the big families of the Zhao family, the Zhou family, and the Shen family.
The old lady still had palpitations about Wu Xinping's matter last time, and the good family affair changed its taste, and it also made the Sheng family and the Wu family feud from then on.
Mrs. Sheng thought about it, but in the final analysis, she didn't know Wu Xinping, nor did she know the situation of the Wu family.
To choose a suitable granddaughter-in-law, you must start with these know-it-alls.
Mrs. Zhao said: "The old sister invited me to come with the wrong idea, my bastard boys have a lot of ideas, not to mention that the school of foreigners is good." I sent all the children abroad, and I couldn't even meet them, let alone kiss them. ”
The situation of the Zhou family and the Zhao family is completely different, Mrs. Zhou has only one son, in order to continue the incense of the Zhou family, she married her son, and he took concubines, and grandchildren were born one after another. Mrs. Zhou has four grandchildren and seven granddaughters, and it is also very spectacular to stand together.
But to match the Sheng family, there is only the granddaughter of the main house.
Old Madam Sheng looked at Old Madam Zhou with a smile, and said thoughtfully: "You have also seen this child Yanqing, and you know the roots. There are so many girls in your family that I can't really remember which one came from which. ”
Old Madam Zhou smiled, she hadn't thought about this aspect.
The Sheng family's business is all over the country, although the main business is tea, but leather goods, raw silk, cotton, cloth, silk and the like are also more or less stained, it can be said that the wind and water are booming, and the money is full of money.
The marriage between the Zhou family and the Sheng family can be described as a strong alliance. The Zhou family's waterway was for the Sheng family, and the Sheng family could also distribute more goods.
It's just that Mrs. Zhou is used to being superior, and she thinks that Sheng Yanqing still doesn't marry when she reaches her age, and she hasn't heard of anyone to talk to, most of the reason is what.
If the Sheng family doesn't open their mouths, the Zhou family will naturally not mention it, and the girls of the Zhou family don't worry about getting married.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhou did not object, Mrs. Zhao said: "I think Yingxue's child is good, smart, and atmospheric, I have seen it once during the Chinese New Year, and she has become a big girl." ”
Zhou Yingxue is the only one of the seven girls, and she is the only one who is the right person.
"Yingxue, isn't that little girl who loves baked sweet potatoes?" Old Madam Sheng remembered something.
"Old sister, that was in the past, this girl has grown into a beauty now, and the people who go to the Zhou family to ask for relatives are about to break the threshold."
The three of them were talking in the house, and Shen Yu shouted outside the door: "Grandmother! Is Grandmother here? ”
Mrs. Zhou frowned slightly, shouting in front of the public, what kind of system is this?
Mother Tao hurriedly greeted her out, "Grandma, the old lady has guests here today, let's talk about it another day." ”
Shen Yu thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing, I'll just say it here." The quota for the tea-making competition has come down, and our Sheng family has been selected, so I'll tell my grandmother. ”
In the summer, the door was open, and through the beaded curtain, several old ladies could hear what was said outside.
Mrs. Sheng was also very happy, "It's good to be selected, this is an opportunity to do business with foreigners, and you can make foreigners' money." ”
Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhao congratulated again and again, this tea-making conference, the Zhou family and the Zhao family also participated, but I don't know if I was selected?
The tea party held by foreigners is not the same as the ordinary one, no one knows anyone, if you want to entrust people to go to the relationship, it is impossible to release water, whether you can be selected, whether you can win, it all depends on your ability.
Shen Yu didn't know who the guests were inside, and said: "This time for the tea party in Tongcheng, we have a total of three in Qingshui Town, and the Shen family and the Zhou family are also selected. ”
Old Madam Zhou laughed, but Old Madam Zhao's face was not very good-looking. This Shen Yu is too reckless in talking and doing things.
After chatting for a while, Mrs. Sheng decided that she would have the opportunity to let Sheng Yanqing and Zhou Yingxue meet.
She doesn't quite understand what young people think, but when the two get married and have children, they always have to look at each other.
The two old ladies were both heads and faces in Qingshui Town, they were silent when they came, and they were silent when they left, so they directly carried the sedan chair to Heshoutang, sat on the sedan chair and left.
Hexiang saw it and asked a few words, only to know that it was a distinguished guest from home.
After Shen Yu heard this, the face of Miss Zhou on the bank of the river on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival immediately appeared in front of her. She is completely different from other girls, Mount Tai collapses forward and does not change color, advances and retreats freely, and is relaxed, which is easy to impress.
Such a person has either seen the world or is very intelligent.
Hearing the Zhou family, Shen Yu naturally connected with Miss Zhou, and she vaguely felt that the old lady invited the old lady of the Zhou family to come over for a purpose.
Shen Yu was not afraid of anything, but when she thought of that possibility, she was a little breathless.
Just thinking about it, Furong came in and said, "Grandma, someone from the Shen family said that Mother Zhou was sick." ”
Zhou's mother is Shen Yu's mother, and after she married into the Sheng family, Zhou's mother was taken care of by the Shen family.
Shen Yu had never received any news about Zhou's mother, and when she suddenly heard that she was sick, she was a little puzzled: "Why is she sick at this time?" The list of the tea making contest has just been announced, and she is sick? ”
In recent months, whether it is Qingshui Town or Tongcheng, the most important thing is this tea-making conference.
Today's list is finally out, but Zhou's mother is sick at this time.
Hexiang and Zhou's mother had some feelings, and she was a little anxious: "Miss, what should I do?" It's not a matter for Zhou's mother to be locked up in the Shen family like this. ”
Sheng Yun'er gently shook the back of Hexiang's hand, "Don't worry, what if it's a trap?" If the Shen family uses Zhou's mother to blackmail the young grandmother and ask her to withdraw from the tea-making competition, what will they do? ”
"Yun'er is right," Shen Yu said in a deep voice, "Qingshui Town is just a town below Tongcheng, and in the eyes of outsiders, there is not much difference between the tea grown on this land, and only one tea supplier is needed." ”
