17 Chapter 17

"Mother, don't worry, my daughter knows it." She doesn't want women to be favored, she and Xu Mu are still husband and wife for a day, she doesn't allow Xu Mu to have other women, otherwise she will respond.

"Ling'er, you have to listen to your mother's words, your mother is all for your good." Aunt Liu took Tian Tian's hand with a solemn expression.

"Mother, I know, I really have a number." Tian Tian said.

"Then come back this time, let's go to Madame, and you can pick one too."

"I don't want it."

Aunt Liu hurriedly said: "You still haven't listened to my mother's words." ”

"Mother, it's not that I don't listen to you, I also mentioned this matter in front of Xianggong before, and it was Xianggong who said that he didn't want other women, so I didn't want to talk about it for him." The original owner has always been a good girl in front of Aunt Liu, and before the lotus pond fell into the water, the original owner had intended to choose a beautiful maid, but now she directly refused, which seemed too abnormal, and she could only pull Xu Mu out as an excuse.

Aunt Liu doesn't believe it, there are still men in this world who don't like fresh.

"It's true, mother. The last time I mentioned it, Xianggong was still a little angry, thinking that I didn't have him in my heart, so I found other women for him to serve him. ”

Aunt Liu hesitated.

Tian Tian continued: "Mother, there is no need to hurt the relationship between me and him because of a maid, if he really needs it in the future, I will repair a book and come back, and Mrs. will definitely not sit idly by, you can rest assured." ”

Aunt Liu was finally moved by her.

The mother and daughter chatted about other topics, and it was not until dusk that Xu Mu came to pick up Tian Tian, and the husband and wife went to the main courtyard for dinner.

Tonight is a banquet, and Aunt Liu is a concubine and is not eligible to participate.

On the way to the main courtyard, Xu Mu asked Tian Tian: "Madam, are you having a good time chatting today?" ”

Tian Tian smiled and nodded, and snorted.

When the husband and wife arrived at the main courtyard, the eldest lady Wang Ruoxue, the second lady Wang Yufang and Tang Zitang all arrived.

Wang Ruoxue is a descendant, her appearance follows the prefect's wife, barely considered beautiful, wearing a pink and purple rose jacket, a white scattered flower skirt, and a few golden hairpins obliquely inserted in her sideburns, dignified and noble, but not bleak, she is followed by four maids, two of them are average-looking, and the other two are extremely beautiful, one is beautiful, one is beautiful, and the other is beautiful.

Compared with Wang Ruoxue's dignified and noble spirit, Wang Yufang has no loss of color. Wang Yufang has a good appearance, exquisite makeup, a slender figure, a green embroidered lotus jacket, a pink narcissus scattered green leaf skirt, and a green hairpin obliquely inserted on the sideburns, like a lotus flower out of the mud without staining.

She was followed by two maids, one with an ordinary appearance and the other with a beautiful appearance, compared with Wang Ruoxue's two beautiful maids, they were no different.

Such a beautiful maid should be what Aunt Liu said, a maid used to open her face and fix her pet.

Tian Tian walked over with a smile on his face and greeted the two sisters.

"Eldest sister, second sister."

Wang Ruoxue and Wang Yufang warmly held Tian Tian's hand, and the three sisters sat together: "Third sister, it seems that your third brother-in-law treats you well after you get married, and you look more and more beautiful." ”

The two sisters made such an enthusiastic gesture, but it was just a face-saving effort.

The relationship between the eldest lady Wang Ruoxue and the original owner is average, her status is noble, and her husband is also a celebrity in Beijing, so she will not put her sister in her eyes, and her friendship is as light as water on weekdays.

The second lady Wang Yufang and the original owner both liked Tang Zitang before, the two fought openly and secretly, and they did not like each other, and the lotus pond fell into the water, the original owner had suspected Wang Yufang, but there was no evidence, so he had to give up.

But when they praise her for her beauty, they are not cheating.

The original owner is the most dazzling of the three golden flowers of the Wang family, today she is wearing a newly made Hunan concubine-colored skirt, graceful and jade, wearing a set of white jade lily on the sideburns, the skin is like snow, thin powder, Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, out of the dust and smart, in this house is like the king of flowers, only she is the most beautiful, glamorous.

"It's really nice to treat me fairly." Tian Tian smiled and greeted, her life in Changping County was really good, but it was true.

"It's really enviable."

The three sisters sat together and chatted, Wang Ruoxue and Wang Yufang were playing, and Tian Tian could only cooperate, but there was always an extremely hot and obscure gaze staring at her in the venue, which made her uncomfortable.

Looking at the line, he met the eye of a handsome man in blue brocade, the man's eyes were gentle as if they were about to drip water, but under closer inspection, in addition to deep affection, there were complexities and entanglements and pain.

The man has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a nose like a gall, a very beautiful figure, a crown of hair held high, and the thick black hair is obedient to the back, and it is indescribably elegant.

He was sitting with Xu Mu chatting, but he still couldn't help but move his gaze to her.

Tian Tian's heart jumped, that man was none other than Tang Zitang, who was going to be engaged to Wang Yufang, the original owner's sweetheart.

He is really bold, he even looked at her directly in front of Xu Mu, too, he has a noble status, he is a child of the Jingzhong clan, Xu Mu has been low and small in front of him before, and he is diligent, so he dares to be so unscrupulous.

But Tian Tian didn't dare to be so unscrupulous, and quickly looked away nervously, she didn't want to provoke gossip, but her eyes just moved to Xu Mu, Xu Mu's eyes were also on her, and her eyes looked at her deeply, making people unable to understand what he was thinking.

Tian Tian smiled at Xu Mu, hurriedly turned his head, and continued to gossip with Wang Ruoxue and Wang Yufang.

Wang Yufang has been paying attention to Tang Zitang, and when he saw Wang Yueling enter the main courtyard, his eyes never left her, and the anger in his heart rose little by little, and he was jealous and made her grit her silver teeth. Obviously, she is the fiancée he is about to marry, and he stares at other women so boldly and directly in front of her.

Wang Ruoxue saw everything in the house, but she didn't say anything with a smile, still generous and dignified.

After a while, the prefect of the palace brought his wife into the house, and everyone saluted together.

"It's all a family, no need to be polite." Governor Wang waved his hand, smiled happily, and the fat on his face was squeezed together.

"Yes."

"Take your seats." The prefect of Wang sat straight at the top, not happy, and his face was full of red light.

The prefect's wife smiled dignifiedly: "Master, everyone is ready, then let's serve the food." ”

Governor Wang nodded.

Everyone took their seats.

Wang Zhifu said directly: "Zitang, Xiao Mu, you two sit down with me, and the three of us have a good drink." Looking at Xu Mu's eyes, it is even closer than looking at his own son.

Tian Tian looked at it in his eyes, and sneered in his heart, the prefect of the king was greedy for money, and the dozen or so big boxes that Xu Mu brought this time must have made the prefect of the king very satisfied, otherwise he would not be so kind to Xu Mu.

"Yes." Tang Zitang and Xu Mu spoke in unison, and then sat next to the prefect Wang, hugging him from left to right.

The prefect's wife sat in the next position with a smile and said with emotion: "It's a pity that Rui'er didn't return to study in the academy, otherwise our family would be reunited." ”

Wang Ruoxue comforted on the side: "The New Year is coming soon, and my brother will definitely come back for a reunion." ”

When the meal was served, twenty or thirty big dishes crowded the table, and Tian Tian acted as a transparent person, eating by himself. In this case, don't talk if you can.

It's just that Tian Tian doesn't speak, she is still the focus of the dinner table.

Xu Mu served her vegetables from time to time, and everyone's eyes fell on her with Xu Mu's chopsticks.

The prefect's wife couldn't help but remind in a deep voice: "Yueling, you, as a lady, should take care of your husband, how can there be any reason to let Xiao Mu serve you vegetables?" "It's too ignorant, it's too unruly.

Tian Tian was quite embarrassed, and hurriedly said yes, and then scooped a bowl of chicken soup for Xu Mu: "Xianggong, the white wine is spicy, drink some chicken soup to warm your stomach." ”

Tian Tian really ignored Xu Mu, at the dinner table, the prefect Wang's wife was served, Tang Zitang had Wang Yufang on the side, and she was the only one who only cared about eating, in fact, she couldn't help it, she always felt that Tang Zitang's gaze occasionally moved to her, and she could only pretend to be stupid.

"There's Mrs. Law." Xu Muxiao picked up the chicken soup and drank a few sips.

Tian Tian smiled back and continued to eat, but he would still help Xu Mubu from time to time.

Xu Mu didn't take it for granted that Wang Zhifu and Tang Zitang did, she helped him arrange the vegetables, he tasted good, or saw that she had eaten a few more bites of the dishes, so he would help her put them in the bowl in a timely manner.

Xu Mu often does this kind of thing in Changping County, and Tian Tian doesn't feel that it's wrong, but for the prefect's wife, Wang Ruoxue and Wang Yufang, this is a great favor, and even the prefect Wang can't help but look at her twice.

Men are inferior to women, and only women help men cloth vegetables, which is justified. Few men do anything for their wives to be so unusual.

The gaze on the table was too strong, Tian Tian couldn't be a person anymore, raised his eyes to meet everyone's eyes, and Xu Mu sandwiched a piece of duck meat for her at the right time: "Madam, this duck meat is fragrant and tender, and it tastes excellent, you can taste it." ”

Xu Mu's eyebrows and eyes are gentle, his eyes are faintly doting, he looks at her with a smile, gentle and considerate, he is wearing a snow satin jacket tonight, and his slender knuckles hold chopsticks to put the duck meat into her bowl.

Tian Tian's little face turned red at a visible speed with the naked eye, her beauty and shy appearance were even more moving, Wang Ruoxue and Wang Yufang were difficult to calm down, Wang Yufang looked nervously at Tang Zitang next to him, and sure enough, he stared at Wang Yueling directly, no longer obscure before, and his eyes were hot.

Her fiancé stared at other women, no one would be happy, Wang Yufang was about to cry aggrieved.

Tang Zitang's gaze was too blatant, maybe he didn't even notice it, the people at the dinner table saw all this in their eyes, and Tian Tian was even more like a fish in his throat, like a thorn in his back.

Governor Wang had the heart to tie up with the Tang family, so he didn't see it. The prefect's wife has always regarded her husband as the sky, the prefect of the Wang Mansion does not speak, she should also be blind, the left and right have nothing to do with her, she does not want to wade in this troubled water.

Wang Ruoxue has the true inheritance of her mother, she is the most dignified and generous, and she is very calm at this time.

Only Wang Yufang and Tian Tian were uncomfortable.

As for Xu Mu, he was calm and breezy from beginning to end, and no one could see what he was thinking.
