On the second day, Chen Rui got up early in the morning, went to the courtyard where he rented, and took his mother and younger siblings to Xiahou Mansion, several people's eyes were not enough, the rockery in the house was lined with green trees, the path paved with bluestone slabs was winding, the living room was even more magnificent, the walls were hung with calligraphy and paintings of celebrities, and all kinds of porcelain and delicate things were displayed on the Eight Treasure Pavilion.

The well-trained maid quietly retreated after sending a few people to the backyard, and the pretty maid took over and brought them to the living room, several people couldn't help but make a sound of admiration, Chen Rui looked at the maid who was standing quietly on the side, and felt a burst of anger in his heart.

couldn't help but cough lightly twice, suggesting that a few people sit down and settle down.

At this time, I saw an old lady with silver hair who was supported by a maid at the door, presumably this was the old lady Xiahou, the head of the house, Zhang quickly stood up, and the old lady pressed her hand and said: "Sit down, it's not an outsider who doesn't need to be formal." ”

Two noble ladies poured in outside, and Zhang just wanted to sit down, so he had to stand up again and accompany the smiling face.

Lin glanced past Zhang, and Wang nodded with a smile on his face.

After the old lady sat down on the main seat, she introduced them to the Zhang family one by one, and Zhang didn't expect that this noble lady who looked cold and had an unkind face was actually her own mother, rubbed her hands and said, "Say hello to your mother." ”

After saying that, she looked outside again, and the old lady asked, "What do you want to see?"

Zhang didn't think about it and said, "I don't know why my future daughter-in-law didn't come out?"

As soon as he heard this, Lin's face instantly darkened, what daughter-in-law, these eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, but I think it's your daughter-in-law, it's really beautiful!

The old lady did not answer, and when Wang saw this scene, he said: "It is inconvenient for the third young lady to come out to meet people, and there will be a chance for the third young lady to come out to meet the lady in the future." ”

Zhang has lived for most of his life and no one calls him his wife, and he said to the old lady with a happy heart: "It should be, it should be, I won't be too late to see you when the third miss is convenient for another day." ”

The old lady said, "When did Mrs. Chen arrive in the capital?"

Zhang replied, "I arrived two days ago." I didn't come to see Madame because I wasn't ready. ”

The old lady nodded: "You are tired all the way without stopping. After speaking, he looked at Chen Yue and said, "This is Ling Ai, right?"

Zhang pushed Chen Yue, Chen Yue got up and raised her face and said crisply: "I'm Chen Yue, meet the old lady." ”

After finishing speaking, the room was silent, and Chen Yue was a little dazed, not knowing if she had said something wrong.

The girl's family is noble, and her name is generally not easy to tell others, even if it is whispered by the elders, how can she say her name directly like Chen Yue.

After a while, the old lady nodded and said, "It looks smart and clever." ”

Nodding, Mama Chen took the prepared set of noodles and handed it to Chen Yue, Chen Yue took it and saw a few beads inlaid on the golden hairpin, and the bead-style earrings the same size as the nail cover, Chen Yue couldn't help but shine in her eyes, and gently touched it with joy.

Zhang didn't expect the old lady to be so generous when she made a move, and directly gave a set of jewelry, which looked really valuable, and pushed Chen Cong with a shock and said: "This is the little Chen Cong, hurry, meet the old lady." ”

The old lady nodded, and Mama Chen handed over the prepared set of pen and ink, and Zhang was a little disappointed when he saw that it was pen and ink, and retracted his gaze.

Zhang stopped going around in circles and asked the old lady directly: "Today, our mother came to the door to meet the old lady, and by the way, I want to ask when we are engaged?"

Several people present were dumbfounded, they didn't expect this person to ask this question so directly, and they didn't even ask the matchmaker to be a middleman, the old lady was well-informed and quickly settled down and said: "This matter still needs to be considered in the long run, I don't know what you plan, Mrs. Chen." ”

Zhang said directly: "I think the sooner the better, the best is to settle it this month, so that I have also completed a task." ”

When the Lin family heard this, he said angrily: "What kind of family are you treating our Hou Mansion as, so hasty, my Yan'er hasn't thought about marrying your family yet!"

When Zhang heard this, he was anxious: "Why didn't you say that you want to marry my son, don't you want to regret it, you can't do this." ”

Lin was so angry that his eyebrows were raised, and he was about to have a seizure, when he heard the old lady snort lightly, and he had to stop talking like a deflated ball.

The old lady said: "This matter is too hasty, after all, it is a big deal to marry two surnames, and it is necessary to do it carefully, Mrs. Zhang, why did you first arrive, and it is not too late for us to talk about this matter after a period of rest." ”

Chen Rui listened to it on the side, as soon as his mother's words just came out, he thought it was going to be bad, and sure enough, it still caused Lin's dissatisfaction, Lin didn't want to marry the third lady to himself, he also put down his big words at that time, and came to marry when he was on the list, but this time he fell to Sun Shan, thinking of this, he didn't wait for Zhang's to speak, Chen Rui got up and said after being rude: "Follow the old lady's words." ”

Zhang wanted to refute a few words, but when he saw his son like this, he had to give up.

The old lady had no intention of leaving a few people to eat, and after saying a few words, she got up and left with physical fatigue, and when the old lady left, the Lin family also got up and left directly, without even leaving a look at the Zhang family.

Seeing that his sister-in-law said to leave, Wang didn't save face at all, and said with some embarrassment: "My sister-in-law also has something to do, and she needs to go back to take care of the third lady. ”

Zhang couldn't help nodding: "Haihan Haihan." ”

As he spoke, he reached out to the fruit bowl on the table, and kept holding the preserved fruit on the plate and stuffing it into his mouth.

Chen Rui saw that everyone had left, and it was no fun to sit down again, so he had to touch his mother and say goodbye to Wang.

When Zhang left, he didn't forget to grab the preserved fruit on the plate and stuff it into his arms.

The Wang family was stunned when he saw this operation, and when he returned to his courtyard, he couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Xiahou Jing, Xiahou Jing served a cup of tea and asked, "What does my mother think when she sees Chen Gongzi's family?"

Wang shook his head and said with a sigh in his mouth: "You haven't seen that posture, this family is all habitual and shallow-eyed, this is really an eye-opener." ”

After talking about what the Zhang family did, Xiahou Jing also felt that this family was too unreliable, no wonder the eldest aunt was so angry.

It's just that according to the grandmother's temper, the words will definitely not be withdrawn, the marriage between the third sister and Chen Gongzi seems to be a sure thing, and when he is over, he will look at others, I don't know what kind of person I can meet in the future, Xiahou Jing is shy and full of anticipation.
