Tao Li listened to the bunch of women chattering, the noise made his brain hurt, and after drinking a large cup of tea by himself, he put down the teacup heavily, wrinkled his brows and said: "The eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, people just want to look at each other, don't be foolish first, and you have to see if the children of the Chu family are really like what the Shaw family said."

Her mouth, I don't know what it has become to exaggerate again. Besides, how did their young master in Hangzhou come to our Shandong to find his daughter-in-law, so far away, couldn't he find his daughter-in-law in Hangzhou?

There is also a young child, I know that I am messing around at home, under the guise of learning embroidery all these years, I don't go to the school to study, if I am a showman, then I must like a young lady full of poetry and books, you look at you like a street horse. Over the years, I have forgotten even the rules and etiquette outside. ”

said to the Sun family: "You take advantage of these days, teach her the rules well, and the housekeeper's livelihood, and teach her, she doesn't know anything, and when she arrives at the Chu family, she doesn't know anything." is still a housewife, I don't know how to be manipulated. ”

When Sun heard this, the anger in his heart rose.

This Tao Li is a Xiucai born, and Sun's father is a thousand households in Qufu, Sun is considered to be the origin of the family of the army, the elder brother and younger brother of the family just followed their father to join the army, did not study, although Sun knows a few words, but has always acted like the wind, never a famous lady, Tao Li is not used to it, always loves yin and yang Sun has no knowledge, and he is not speculative.

Tao Li used to say this about himself, but now in front of such a large family, he said his daughter like this, Sun was annoyed all of a sudden: "Our family is the best, she has followed you to the library since she was a child, Brother Gu will be, she will be able to learn better than his brother, don't talk about Xiucai at this time, you let us go young, and we can give you a Jinshi exam back."

What do you say you don't know the rules and etiquette, we are the most polite, every time I go out with me, they are very generous, you go out to Taoyuan County to inquire, which one does not praise our family for a good time?

If you talk about housekeeping, what's so hard to learn? Our family has done so well in learning, and the housekeeper's affairs will definitely be learned as soon as they are learned.

During the New Year, everyone is happy, talking and laughing, you are the most disappointed, how can a father talk about his daughter like you? ”

"You!" Tao Li slapped the table, and saw that he was about to quarrel, Tao Yao's uncle Tao Zhe on the side quickly stood up, grabbed Tao Li, and said with a smile: "What are you doing?" It's the New Year, my father and mother are still sitting here, why are you two arguing? I'm not afraid of children's jokes.

What a great joy this is, our family is a very good child in itself, you can't talk about our own children like that. In my opinion, everyone should be a little restless, and let the young people look at each other before talking about the rest of the matter. ”

Seeing that the uncle was helping him, Sun's anger dissipated a little, and then he wrinkled his brows and said, "Otherwise, in two days, I will go to Hangzhou with me, and I will also go over to have a look." ”

When Tao Li heard this, he was displeased: "No! Even if it is successful, it should be the elders of their Chu family who come to our house first, how can there be a reason for you to come to the door first? It's like we're begging to marry them. ”

The stove in the house was burning very strongly, and Tao Yao's little face was also a little red, she looked up at the window, and the bright paper window reflected the red lantern outside, and under the lantern, she could faintly see the heavy snow.

This snow-brewing cloud pressed for a day, and finally came down as if it was lively on this lively Chinese New Year's Eve.

The people in this room discussed lively, but no one came to ask Tao Yao's meaning.

Tao Yao picked up her rose-purple cloak, turned the screen and walked out of the main hall through the back door, and sat down on the beauty under the eaves, stretching out her hand waves to make the snow, but her eyes were in a daze, and she didn't notice the person who walked behind her for a while.

"You don't seem to be happy."

The gentle voice came, Tao Yao didn't have to look back, and knew that it was his second sister-in-law Li, although Li was his cousin's wife, but he was closer than his brother's sister-in-law, because the eldest brother Taogu's family had been in the capital, and Tao Yao did not often meet, but the cousin Tao Yuan and the second sister-in-law Li and himself were often in Taoyuan County.

"Two little girls asleep?" Tao Yao looked up at Li with a reluctant smile on her face, but she didn't see the joy of the New Year, only her tiredness.

Li nodded, and handed one of the two stoves in his hand to Tao Yao, and the two of them sat under the eaves of the corridor with the stove in their arms and spoke: "I have been coaxing the two little ancestors, but I have also listened to two sentences, and that little boy seems to be very good." ”

Tao Yao smiled bitterly and said, "Listening to what the second aunt said, it is indeed good. But my father and mother didn't believe it. ”

Li smiled shallowly, and reached out to hold Tao Yao's hand holding the stove but was still frozen: "I can trust Aunt Shao, although she always talks on weekdays, but she has never left Dapu." She said it was good, it wouldn't be bad after all. Otherwise, Aunt Shao would not have gone far away, put down her daughter to give birth, and come back to tell you this. ”

Tao Yao's eyes finally gradually lit up a little light, but then it went out again: "Yes, I can also trust the second aunt." But this is not the first time this kind of thing, every time my father looks good, my mother looks bad, my mother looks good, my father looks bad, they are optimistic, I don't see it well, I look good, they don't see it well, there is no fixed number. Now they even let me see it myself, what if I like it, and they don't like it? What if people look up to me, but I don't think well of others? ”

Li couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, but marriage is a big deal, and if he thinks about it carefully, there will still be mistakes, so he can't be rash: "I know you have anger in your heart." But the first few times, what they said was not unreasonable.

The brother of the Liu family on Chang'an Street, although his character is good and his knowledge is good, but his house is restless, and the old lady in the family is so old, he even makes trouble and leaves the trouble to go to the court.

Brother Shen of Jinan Mansion has a noble family background, good knowledge, handsome appearance, and prosperous official luck, but he has been nostalgic for the land of fireworks at a young age, and there are already two or three girls in the house.

As for Brother Qiao in the back streets, it is true that he and your childhood sweetheart have been studying together in the school since childhood, and he is obedient to you and has an excellent temperament, but his family background and knowledge are not as good as you. Wouldn't marrying you be humiliated? ”
