Chapter 189: Great Joy
Tan Xin explained to Shu Yu in a low voice as she walked: "The third floor is mostly a place for adults and family members to enjoy the lanterns, and it is said that I should also accompany my mother."
"But I feel that it is too cold to stand tall in the high place, and although I can look down on the sea of lanterns, it is difficult to appreciate the excitement and joy in it. Enjoying the lanterns, the picture is a lively and festive, of course, you still have to blend in.
"So in previous years, I had a happy gathering with Sister Feng and them at the Mingxinzhai on the second floor. It is neither high nor low, not far or close, and you can see the river of lanterns and the lively fireworks of the street market when you look down. β
Life not only requires us to be a little farther away to observe and understand, but also needs us to integrate into it and feel it with our hearts. That's the philosophy of life.
Shu Yu nodded in understanding and said with a smile: "This is about the so-called 'big hidden in the city'." β
Tan Xin was stunned for a moment, covered her lips and giggled, and said, "I'm just looking for the best place to watch the lanterns, listening to you say this, it seems to have a deep meaning!" β
Shu Yu said with a smile: "The philosophy that comes out of your heart is the most real and moving!" β
Tan Xin laughed and called Shu Yu a "wonderful person".
The two quickly turned the stairs to the third floor.
Compared with the hustle and bustle of the first floor and the elegant joy of the second floor, the third floor is slightly solemn, and the door of the private room is closed, and when you walk outside, you can hardly hear the voices inside.
It is about that once a person stands in a high position and is old, he will unconsciously hold on to his weight, even in a lively and jubilant festival such as the Lantern Festival, he will unconsciously become dignified and quiet.
Tan Xin took Shu Yu all the way to see the sex fast, and waited for the maid to knock on the door, and then went in together.
There were already three people sitting inside, one of them was Liu Fangling, and the other two were women they didn't know.
Shu Yu quickly glanced at the positions of the three people, and saw two strange women sitting in the window, and Liu Fangling's seat was next to one of the young and charming women, and he had a guess in his heart.
I'm afraid that the young and charming lady is Liu Fangling's biological mother Meng, and the other slightly older, dignified and dignified woman is Tan Xin's mother, Mrs. Tan.
Sure enough, as soon as she thought about it, she saw Tan Xin bending her knees at the young and charming lady, calling her "madam" with a smile, and shouting "mother" to the older and more serious woman.
As for Liu Fangling, who was dealt with by his peers, Tan Xin just smiled and nodded.
If you really say hello to the courtesy, then you will see the outside.
Sure enough, Meng Shi smiled when he saw this, and he didn't have any displeasure for his daughter to be neglected by Tan Xin.
"This girl looks at her, I don't know which lady it is?" Meng asked with a smile.
But in her heart, she thought that in order to be a good helper to the county lord, she had already touched all the famous characters in Kangping County, but she had never seen the girl in front of her, and she didn't know which family she was.
Before Tan Xin could answer, Liu Fangling, who was sitting next to her, snorted coldly and spoke.
"It's Han Kuishou's cousin!" Liu Fangling's tone was disdainful and annoyed.
As soon as she saw Shu Yu, she remembered her fiasco at the Chongyang Chrysanthemum Appreciation Party.
Although her poem "Yongdai" was also published in the monthly poetry collection of the county Confucianism, no one cared about it, and everyone swarmed to praise Shu Yu's shallow "Picking Mulberries"!
This made her feel even more angry and embarrassed than the fact that her father wanted her to marry Han Yan!
Meng's mother and daughter were of the same heart, as soon as they heard this, the smile on their faces instantly froze, and the next moment, their faces were as dark as water, and they picked up the teacup and sipped it lightly, not even bothering to give Shu Yu another look.
One of these two cousins is overwhelmed, the toad wants to eat swan meat, and dares to think about her Ling'er; One who has no eyesight to see it, relying on himself to drink two mouthfuls of ink, dares to lose the face of her family Ling'er, which is hateful.
Tan Xin quietly clenched her fists, and she really didn't look down on the behavior of Meng's mother and daughter.
Anyway, Shu Yu was a guest she specially invited, and these two people were so obviously contemptuous, didn't they also take her and her mother in their eyes?
Tan Xin took a deep breath, ignored them, pulled Shu Yu affectionately, and introduced her mother to her: "Mother, this is the Shu Yu I mentioned to you, open-minded and brilliant!" β
When the Meng mother and daughter on the side heard this, their faces immediately turned red.
What does Tan Xin mean by this? Is it ironic that they are neither talented nor narrow-minded?
Does she know whose world is this Kangping County now!
Mrs. Tan also didn't look down on Meng's mother and daughter, but because of her feelings, she couldn't drive people out, so she smiled kindly at Shu Yu when she heard this: "Good boy, come and let me take a closer look." β
Knowing that Mrs. Tan's mother and daughter were specially supporting themselves in front of Meng's mother and daughter, Shu Yu stepped forward respectfully, and bowed with a smile: "Shu Yu has seen Mrs. Tan." β
Downright and generous, neither humble nor arrogant, the etiquette is thorough.
"Good, good!" Mrs. Tan hurriedly helped Shu Yu up herself, patted her hand and praised with a smile, "Gentle and elegant, knowledgeable, what a good girl!" β
As he spoke, he took off a jade bracelet on his wrist and put it directly on Shu Yu's wrist, and said with a smile: "I didn't prepare anything good when I came out to enjoy the lanterns this time, this bracelet should be regarded as a gift from my aunt to you!" β
The bracelet is in average condition, and the key is that Mrs. Tan maintains her heart.
Shu Yu was taken aback, and quickly changed his words: "Aunt is generous, Shu Yu is ashamed and dare not accept it." β
As he spoke, he was about to take off the jade bracelet and return it to Mrs. Tan, but Mrs. Tan held it.
"It's not a rare thing, what's unbearable?" Mrs. Tan smiled kindly, "You are good friends with Xinniang, and that is my junior." The elders give it, and it is impossible to say goodbye. β
Tan Xin also said with a smile on the side: "Mother really sends it away, you can accept it!" Unless, you don't want to make me a friend. β
At this point, of course, Shu Yu couldn't refuse, so he accepted it and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, aunt!" β
Mrs. Tan smiled and nodded, the more she looked at Shu Yu, the more she liked it.
She herself is not a twisted character, and naturally she likes a straightforward and well-behaved junior like Shu Yu.
Out of courtesy, Tan Xin introduced Meng to Shu Yu again, and said, "This is Mrs. Meng." This is Miss Liu, you've seen it. β
Tan Xin defended herself, and Shu Yu didn't want her to lose face, so she politely saluted the two, but she didn't have the closeness she had when she faced Mrs. Tan.
Meng's mother and daughter saw the difference in treatment before and after Shu Yu, and they couldn't help but be even more depressed.
Sure enough, things gather like and people are grouped, and the annoying rural village girl in front of her is as eyeless as Mrs. Tan's mother and daughter, and I don't know who is the real nobleman in Kangping County!
But it was inconvenient to have a seizure, so I could only endure it.
Tan Xin knew the knot in the hearts of Meng's mother and daughter, so she smiled and said: "Madam, what Ling Ai said just now is not right, Shu Yu is now Han Kuishou's fiancΓ©e!" β
"What?!"
Meng's mother and daughter exclaimed in unison, overjoyed, and the teacup in her hand was almost unstable, spilling many water stains. 2k reading web
