Tao Shi was not in a hurry to return to the words of the second wife of the Ping family, smiled at her, and then ordered his subordinates to go to the pantry to make a pot of red robes, and handed it to the high table next to the second wife of the Ping family, before replying.

"The second wife of the Ping family, my eldest lady has been in charge of my family, and the second girl of the Jin Pingluo family has been decided, and the second girl of the Gu family in Chengjiang has also been set by the third girl of the Gu family in Chengjiang, and the third girl of the Gu family, who looks good and is empathetic, my second lang has liked her for a long time."

After speaking, Tao picked up the big red robe on Gao Ji, looked at the second wife of the Ping family with a blank look, and asked again, "The second wife of the Ping family is on this trip, but which child of my family do you want to protect the media?" ”

Hearing what Tao said, the second wife of the Ping family had some slight changes in her face, and her ears were a little red, but she could still maintain a calm face.

She didn't dodge, she raised her eyes and glanced at Tao, and saw that Tao was also looking at herself.

But she herself underestimated Tao, Tao's shrewdness and ability are quite famous in the world circle, she didn't go to Houfu to bother, came to Tao's own private house to look for her, but I was afraid that Tao had guessed her intentions.

She came over this time to match the pair of sisters and brothers who were waiting for the long room in Pingning.

Mrs. Ping Ninghou, that is, her sister-in-law, has been sick in bed for many years, and the power of the house has fallen into her hands, but she is not mean, but she is also caring for her nephews and nieces who are not her own, and treats them as her own.

For this reason, all the ladies in the family admired her, and invited her to every banquet.

Now that Tao already knows her intentions, she doesn't have to continue to fight with Tao, and said directly: "Sister Tao also knows that my brother is away all the year round, and my sister-in-law is a powerless one. ”

As soon as Dow's voice fell, he sighed a few times and continued.

"Now the two children in the long house, seeing that they are getting older and older, and the marriage has not yet been settled, my sister-in-law entrusted me to find a good family for the two children. I inquired around about the families of those who had children and daughters, and who had not yet married, so I found the sister of the Tao family. ”

When Tao heard this, there was no reaction on his face, but he secretly said in his heart: This second wife of the Ping family actually hit her head with the idea, and the family she said in her mouth has children and daughters, and the family that has not yet married is not their family?

It's just that she still doesn't know now, what is the second wife of the Ping family trying to match for the child of the Ping family?

Tao thought about it for a while, and it was better to ask clearly, now that Aunt Feng's marriage to San Lang had not yet been settled, Hou Ye instructed her to start preparing and pick a good family with the old lady.

A few days ago, she was worried about this matter, and finally avoided this private house, but she didn't expect the second wife of the Ping family to visit and help her say that the matchmaker came.

The second wife of the Ping family saw that Tao was speechless for a long time, thinking that she had decided the matter.

Just now Tao said that the eldest son of the Jiang family and the second son of the Jiang family have agreed to get married, and there is also the third son of the Jiang family, but she heard that the third son of the Jiang family is a concubine from the concubine room, if she marries the daughter of the Hou family, I am afraid that it is a little out of place, right?

I don't know what kind of calculation Dow has in mind? If the Dingwu Marquis Mansion fails, the girls from their Pingning Marquis Mansion will not insist on marrying with a face.

"Sister Tao, I don't know what you think? Your eldest and your second husband have both decided on someone, so San Lang?" The second wife of the Hei family glanced up at Tao and continued.

"Sister Tao family, no matter how we say that the girls in the Pingning Hou Mansion are all concubines of the waiting door, if you marry your family's San Lang, the concubine from the concubine's room, I'm afraid it's not right, right? I think your Erlang is a good son! ”

When Tao heard this, he was stunned, this second wife of the Ping family looked at Brother Zhiming? But Brother Zhiming already has the Gu family girl in his heart, where can he tolerate others?

Besides, if the girl of the Gu family marries over, and the girl from the Marquis Mansion of Pingning marries again, wouldn't it be a conflict? Is it possible to call the girl from the Hou Mansion to be a concubine?

Even if their Jiang family is willing to agree, the Gu family and the Pingning Marquis Mansion may not necessarily agree?

"How could the second wife of the Hei family say that? Even if my San Lang is a concubine, but in the end, he is a son raised in my house, and he is also first-class and outstanding. Now that I have succeeded in my studies and am traveling, I should come back in a while. When the time comes, you call your niece to look at each other, and if it doesn't work, then talk about it. Dow said lightly, and it seemed to be a little evasive.

Jiang Zhicheng was born to Feng Shuiling's woman, and since he was born, he has always been Feng Shuiling's heart. Jiang Haiyang cherished her and raised Jiang Zhicheng in her house.

But where can my son be kept in his aunt's room all the time?

If you follow your aunt's character, when you reach the age of kissing, you will be criticized. Even if the family affairs have been decided, if they hear that the man was raised in the aunt's room, the woman will do whatever it takes to withdraw from the marriage.

Therefore, in order to tell Jiang Zhicheng a good family business, every time the same people talk about Jiang Zhicheng, they say that they are children raised in her house.

The children raised in the mother's house will inevitably get the help of the mother's family, not to mention that Tao's mother's family is the governor of Yunnan.

"Sister Tao, whether your San Lang is raised in your house or not? His identity has always been the son of a concubine, the eldest girl in my family is my sister-in-law is the only daughter, and the whole family is very distressed on weekdays, even the oily skin has never broken a piece, where can I marry a concubine and suffer from it? ”

The second wife of the Ping family said this, which made Tao unexpected.

She thought that Jiang Zhicheng was raised in her house, and the second wife of the Ping family would think that Jiang Zhicheng had the support of the Tao family behind him, and she might look up to her?

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhicheng was not his own after all, even if outsiders seemed to treat him well, he was not as good as his own son.

"Since the Pingning Marquis Mansion looks down on my family, then we don't need to talk about this marriage anymore!" Tao said, and was about to stand up, but was pulled by the second wife of the Ping family, and dragged her to sit down again.

"Sister Tao, although I don't look down on your family, but the eldest girl of your family, I don't think I have married yet, right?" The second wife of the Hei family held Tao's hand tightly, for fear that she would run away.

Tao listened to the words of the second wife of the Ping family, and was slightly stunned, it turned out that the second wife of the Ping family did not look down on Jiang Zhicheng's kid, but fell in love with her own girl.

Tao has a son and a daughter, the son is Jiang Zhiming, and the daughter is Jiang Zhiming's sister Jiang Xinrong.

On weekdays, Tao herself can't see her daughter, and she thinks about Jiang Zhiming in her heart, and she rarely cares about her daughter.

The marriage of her daughter, originally agreed, was decided by the old lady of the Tao family, that is, if she wanted to decide her daughter's marriage, she had to discuss it again and again with the old lady of the Tao family.

Tao was about to speak, only to see Xiang mother come in with a cup of Shou Mei, Tao has always loved to drink Shou Mei, the big red robe, but she used to entertain guests.

Xiang's mother put the teacup on the high table next to Tao, and then whispered a few words, "Madam, the old lady was reading you in the mansion a few days ago, and now the eldest girl has brought her over, and she has arrived at the East Collapse Courtyard." ”

Xiang Mother's voice was so low that only Tao could hear it. Hearing this, Tao nodded, and ordered his mother to go down and prepare.

first deal with the second wife of the Ping family in front of you, and then deal with the old lady.

"The second wife of the Ping family, you have also heard that the eldest girl of my family has been raised in her grandfather's house since she was a child, and the old lady of my family treats her like a granddaughter. I have made a decision with me before, she is in charge of the marriage of the eldest girl, and I can't go past her old man and decide the marriage of the eldest girl! ”

Tao smiled wryly, for fear of offending the second wife of the Hei family in front of him.

Although the Pingning Hou Mansion is not a high-ranking nobleman, it is also a good family in a hundred, and it is naturally good to be able to marry the girl over there, but without the permission of the old lady, even if it is the marriage of his own daughter, he can't be the master.

When the second wife of the Ping family saw Tao say this, although her face did not react, she was always unhappy in her heart.

If she doesn't want to marry, she says she doesn't want to marry, she says so much and what she doesn't do, and wastes so many tongues on her in vain. If the Dingwu Marquis Mansion fails, there are always good people waiting for her to go, and she will not hang herself on the tree of the Dingwu Marquis Mansion alone.

After letting the little maid send away the second wife of the Ping family, Tao was personally carried by Xiang's mother to the east cross courtyard next to the small flower hall.

As soon as I entered the corridor, I saw all the maids wearing green armor and waiting in double buns, and the maids saluted Tao according to the rules, and Tao glanced at it, not the maids who served in the house, but the maids from the Governor's Palace.

Entering the small hall of hospitality, I saw the old lady of the Tao family leaning on the gold silk soft pillow placed on the soft couch, a stove was placed in the room, and a few little maids wearing cyan armor took the beauty hammer and beat the legs of the old lady of the Tao family.

Jiang Xinrong, who was standing behind him, was holding a book in his hand, as if he was telling a story to the old lady of the Tao family, wearing a lake-blue smoke and rain pleated skirt, and a circle of jade beads of the same size fell on the corner of the skirt, and he simply combed a spiritual snake bun, wearing a flawless jade bracelet, medium stature, long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and elegant temperament.

At first glance, Jiang Xinrong and Jiang Zhiming are seven or eight points similar, but at a closer look, I feel that Jiang Xinrong is more like Dow.

Jiang Xinrong saw Xiang Mother carrying Tao into the house, and immediately saluted.

Fang knelt down, Jiang Xinrong's long eyelashes hung a few crystal clear tears, like new leaves washed by rain, the sun came out, and there were still a few crystal droplets hanging on the leaves.

"Mother, I haven't seen you for a few days, why have you lost weight? Are you worrying about Brother Ming's marriage?"

Jiang Xinrong said, took over the work of Xiang's mother, personally helped Tao to the old lady of the Tao family, and sat on the soft couch with the old lady of the Tao family.

Because the old lady of the Tao family has been blind for many years, her hearing is excellent, and from Tao's footsteps, she can hear that she has walked to her side, and stretched out her hand to hold Tao.

"Daughter! I heard your father say that Brother Zhiming was seriously injured in Pengpu, and some time ago, you couldn't sleep or eat well for him, but now Brother Zhiming's injury is better?"

Tao raised his head and glanced at the old lady of the Tao family, the old lady of the Tao family is the biological mother of the Tao family, she was born as an embroiderer, she boiled up her eyes in the early years, and then gradually disappeared, and has been living in the Buddhist hall in the backyard of the Tao family, and is personally taken care of by the eldest sister-in-law of the Tao family, the eldest lady of the Tao family.

"Mother, knowing that Brother Ming'er's injuries are already healed, don't worry about him for your old man, the children are all older, it's time to let them go out!" As soon as Tao's words fell, he took Jiang Xinrong's hand and entered the blue yarn cabinet next door.

"Xinrong, who told you to bring your grandmother out? Don't you know that your grandmother has bad eyes and can't see the light?" Tao looked at the daughter in front of him, without the slightest mother-daughter affection, and scolded.

Jiang Xinrong also looked surprised, and did not react, but said.

"Mother, my grandmother thought about you and Brother Zhiming, and talked to my grandfather a few times, and my grandfather allowed me to take my grandmother out. Knowing that you are not in the Hou Mansion, I will tell the coachman to come here. ”

"Take your grandmother back after dinner, your aunt is not a good stubble, if your grandmother goes back late, you will be scolded by her."

Dow looked at her daughter, and she didn't look like what she remembered. When she was sent to the Governor's Palace, she was also reluctant to do so much, and she didn't think that so many years had passed.

Jiang Xinrong knew that Tao was also worried about her in his heart, so he didn't say anything, so he did as she told him.
