Delicate Flower - Chapter 16
[Chapter 16]
Yu Tang listened attentively to Ma Xiuniang’s words, and someone came to greet Mrs. Chen: “You are a rare visitor! On such a hot day, I thought you wouldn’t go out, but I didn’t expect you to come to pay homage to the old man.”
Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Ma Xiucai both stood up and greeted the visitor politely: “Mrs. Tang, you also come to pay homage to the old man!”
Yu Tang looked up and saw a woman’s face full of shrewd calculations.
She looked cold.
Mrs. Tang, the lady of Tang Xiucai’s family in this city.
That is to say, she was entrusted by the Li family in her previous life and sent her a message in private. If she agreed to the marriage of the Li family, the Li family would be willing to lend 5,000 taels of silver to the Yu family.
In her previous life, she regarded Mrs. Tang as a benefactor, and felt that she was a warm-hearted person.
Later, as her knowledge grew, she felt that Mrs. Tang was able to go beyond her aunt to persuade a little girl of her to privately agree to the marriage of the Li family.
Mrs. Tang, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Ma returned the salute, took out the handkerchief and wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a bit of sadness: “No! The old man is gone, but we are one in Lin’an City. It’s a big event! The prefect’s wife is also here, no, I have been accompanying her to rest in the small courtyard over there, and I didn’t notice that you are also here.”
Neither Mrs. Chen nor Mrs. Ma wanted to deal with Mrs. Tang. It was because Mrs. Tang was very fond of socializing and entertaining, not to mention being high and expensive, and she liked to brag and show off.
Because Tang Zhifu shared the same surname as Tang Xiucai, she somehow forced Tang Zhifu, who was two years younger than Tang Xiucai, to become Tang Xiucai’s uncle of the same clan.
She even flattered Mrs. Tang all day long, so enthusiastic that Mrs. Tang couldn’t stand it sometimes.
Hearing her showing off here again, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Ma, who didn’t like her very much, said a few words to her dryly, ready to send people away.
Who knows that Mrs. Tang, who sees Mrs. Tang on weekdays and sees no one else in her eyes, seems to have taken the wrong medicine today, not only did not leave, but also looked at Yu Tang and Ma Xiuniang with a smile, and said, “I haven’t seen you for a few days. , The little lady of the Yu family and the little lady of the Ma family have grown into big girls. They are beautiful and docile. If I ran into them on the street, I would definitely not recognize them.”
Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Ma had to ask their daughter to salute Mrs. Tang, and said a few words of modesty.
Mrs. Tang didn’t seem to see the perfunctory behavior of Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Ma, and said affectionately: “How else can I tell Mrs. Tang that the two of you are the most virtuous and virtuous ladies in the city, and the family is so beautiful. Little girls don’t let anyone look at them casually. If I had a girl with such a long face, I would have walked around with it long ago.”
The two of them didn’t want to talk to her, they just answered.
I don’t know if Yu Tang thought too much. She always felt that Mrs. Tang seemed to be looking at her and Ma Xiuniang on the surface, but she was actually paying more attention to her.
She quietly hid behind her mother.
Mrs. Tang smiled and took the hand of Ma Xiuniang, who was sitting next to her, and asked Mrs. Ma, “I remember that your little lady was married in March last year. Have you got married? We have such an outstanding little lady, but You can’t just betrothed to someone.”
Ma Xiuniang lowered her head in shame.
Mrs. Ma frowned.
It was very rude for Mrs. Tang to speak so bluntly about Ma Xiuniang’s marriage in front of Ma Xiuniang in front of the public.
Mrs. Ma said displeased: “Mrs. Tang remembered it wrongly. It was the little lady of the Yu family who was married in March, and our daughter was married in May.”
“Oh! Look at my memory!” Mrs. Tang smiled and looked at Chen’s mother and daughter, and said, “Has the little lady of the Yu family told me about the marriage? Do you want me to help and care? Guess who I met just now. Now? Mrs. Yang, the sister-in-law of Mrs. Pei’s family. Mrs. Yang didn’t come alone this time. She brought her nephew from her family! And I heard that Mrs. Yang’s husband is in the Secretary of Communications. What a messenger! A serious third-grade person. Otherwise, why would Mrs. Tang be with you all the time!”
What do you mean by that?
Who did Mrs. Yang bring over and what did they do with Yu Tang?
Do you want to use the power of the Yang family to entice their Yu family?
Chen Shi was slightly embarrassed,
In a blunt tone, he said, “Then we won’t delay Mrs. Tang’s entertainment. Our girls keep the ones who are going to recruit husbands.”
Mrs. Tang was stunned.
Chen’s thin body stopped in front of her daughter and didn’t move.
Mrs. Tang forced a smile and said, “Then I won’t bother you. I’ll go over there to accompany Mrs. Yang first. I’ll stop by your house when I’m free.”
“No!” Chen shi said lightly.
Mrs. Tang left sadly.
Mrs. Ma let out a long sigh of relief, and made no secret of her disgust with Mrs. Tang, and said, “Fortunately, she’s gone. I can’t help it any more.” After speaking, she greeted Yu Tang and Ma Xiuniang to sit down. And he said to them with a stern face, “Little girl’s house, if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you should ignore it and avoid it, do you understand?”
Ma Xiuniang cried out in grievance, “It’s not that I want to hear…”
“Lord, listen, child.” Mrs. Ma interrupted her before she finished speaking, then ignored her daughter and turned to talk to Mrs. Chen, “What do you think Mrs. Tang thinks? Mrs. Tang It’s good, Madam Yang, no matter how good someone else’s family is, it’s someone else’s family, she climbed up the pole like this, and she didn’t see anything good!”
benefit?
!
Yu Tang was stunned.
Mrs. Chen agreed and whispered with Mrs. Ma about Mrs. Tang. Ma Xiuniang also pulled Yu Tang and whispered: “I tell you, someone has come to our house to propose marriage for me. But there is no mother in that house, and there are several others. A younger brother and sister, my mother is still hesitating, so she didn’t disclose the news to the outside world.”
Proposal?
Is this the time to start dating?
Is it the Tongsheng surnamed Zhang from the previous life?
Yu Tang was attracted by Ma Xiuniang’s words, and without thinking about Mrs. Tang’s words, she curiously asked the person who went to Ma Xiuniang’s house to propose marriage.
Ma Xiuniang was shy and couldn’t help showing off: “It’s Senior Brother Zhang who studied with my father. He is a nice person and an honest person. He never goes out to drink with those people for fun, and he is also diligent in reading. My father said, how can he not To be able to be a scholar. If this marriage is settled, I am afraid that I will be married soon.”
Yu Tang felt a little guilty when he heard this.
In her previous life, Ma Xiuniang cared about her very much. She was immersed in the grief of losing her parents and didn’t pay much attention to Ma Xiuniang.
When Ma Xiuniang got married to Zhang Tongsheng, she didn’t know when she came out of the pavilion. If it wasn’t for the silver bracelet that weighed five taels, she probably wouldn’t have much impression of Ma Xiuniang.
She did not treat Ma Xiuniang as pure and caring as Ma Xiuniang treated her.
“Then you have to be good!” Yu Tang didn’t know if she was doing well after she got married, so she could only send this humble blessing.
Ma Xiuniang nodded vigorously, as if Yu Tang’s blessing was enough for her.
Yu Tang squeezed Ma Xiuniang’s hand.
The food started to be served in the hall.
Yu Tang thought of Mrs. Li.
Her father-in-law Li Yi in her previous life was currently serving as the prefect in Rizhao, Shandong. Mrs. Li often claimed to be a family of officials and eunuchs. Ordinary people did not pay attention to it at all. In her eyes, those talented ladies were even more “unwashed with mud legs.” Clean, poor and sour”, usually when I meet her, most of them will have their nostrils turned upside down, pretending not to see it.
This is also the reason why Yu Tang is not afraid to touch her even though they are all from the village.
Looking at the entire Lin’an Mansion, there are really not many Mrs. Jinshi.
Therefore, Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Li came and went frequently, and their relationship was not bad.
Since Mrs. Yang is here, Mrs. Tang will accompany her, so Mrs. Li must be among them.
Mrs. Tang ran over to greet them inexplicably. Wouldn’t she also encounter Mrs. Li inexplicably?
Yu Tang lowered her head to eat, and decided to avoid those noble ladies-she was not afraid of Mrs. Li, she was afraid that she would not be able to control her face, but without a reasonable explanation, she would embarrass her mother.
But sometimes, the more you don’t want something to happen, the more it will happen.
Yu Tangan had a vegetarian meal at Pei’s house. Seeing that the sun was getting hotter and hotter, and everyone was sleepy, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Ma took their daughter to go back to the house. When they left the hall, they met face to face She went to Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Li, the mother-in-law of Yu Tang’s previous life.
Mrs. Li was still as annoying to Yu Tang as she was in her previous life.
The jet-black cyan silk was meticulously tied in a round bun, wearing two white velvet camellias, a moon-white hang silk surcoat, a black horse-faced skirt, a stern face, a serious look, and a bit of arrogance.
From a distance, Yu Tang could feel her eyes falling on him.
When Mrs. Tang didn’t know what Fu Er said to her, she looked at Yu Tang more intently.
What does it mean?
Yu Tang knew that she was good-looking, and she was often seen because she was good-looking, but she was not so arrogant, and felt that with Mrs. Li’s bitterness, she would pay attention to her, or even pay attention to her because she was good-looking.
Something faintly flashed through her mind, UU reading www.sonicmtl.
com wanted to catch it, but suddenly disappeared.
“Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Ma!” Mrs. Tang came over with a loud laugh, and said, “This is really fate.” Then, she introduced Mrs. Li beside her to Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Ma, “This is the Li Mansion in the south of the city. Mrs. Li is the wife of Mrs. Li who was the prefect in Rizhao in the same year as the second master.”
Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Ma had to stop and greet them.
Mrs. Li looked at Yu Tang several times.
Yu Tang can now be sure that his intuition is not wrong.
Both Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Li came to her.
But what was she worthy of their attention?
Li Jun has not seen her at this time!
Mrs. Li greeted Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Ma gracefully, and spoke to Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Ma cordially and tenderly: “I have heard of the two famous names for a long time, but by coincidence, I have never had the chance to meet each other. Today, it is fate. met here.”
Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Ma said they dared not.
Mrs. Li’s eyes were always on Yu Tang, intentionally or unintentionally.
Yu Tang sneered in her heart and let her watch.
Although her skin is very white, smooth and delicate without any blemishes, but her cheeks are like a child, with a little fat all the time, and her body is also round and jade-like. Although she is exquisite, she is also plump, unlike many today’s ladies who stretch out their hands. Thin enough to see bones.
For this reason, Mrs. Li did not dislike her for being fat, and said that she only had skin color to see.
In her previous life, she had low self-esteem for a period of time and did not dare to eat more.
It was not until her elder sister-in-law, Li Duan’s wife, Gu Shi, who envied her appearance that she should be born and raised, did she realize that Mrs. Li was completely nitpicking. She felt that she killed Li Jun and hated her.
