Delicate Flower - Chapter 25
[Chapter 25 Rumors]
Chen’s and Wang’s worries are not unreasonable.
Soon, there was a rumor that “the daughter of the Yu family does not know how high the sky is because of her beauty and wants to recruit a scholar to be her son-in-law”. When this rumor reached the ears of Chen Shi and Yu Tang, Lin’an City had already spread the word. There is a lot of excitement, and few do not know.
Chen Shi was so angry that he couldn’t speak for a while.
Yu Tangsheng was afraid that she would be bad, so he hurriedly asked A Tiao to ask for a doctor.
Chen shi grabbed Yu Tang’s hand, her eyes moistened immediately, and said, “A Tang, go and invite your aunt to come over, I have something to tell her.”
When Yu Tang heard this, he thought about it in his heart.
If she pretends to be a little girl again, she probably won’t discuss any major matters at home with her, but she knows the outcome of many things, and if she wants her parents to believe her, she has to come up with means to make her parents feel that she is capable , knowledgeable, can help the family to solve the dilemma.
“Mum!” Yu Tang made up her mind. Not only did he not go to invite his aunt, but he sat on the head of Chen’s bed and said bluntly, “Are you doing it for the rumors outside?”
Mrs. Chen didn’t want to bother her daughter, and said, “Don’t worry about the affairs of your lord, just go and invite your aunt. Be obedient!”
Yu Tang smiled and said, “Mom, I’ve grown up. You can try to talk to me about some things. If I’m wrong, it’s not too late for you to find your aunt.”
Chen was stunned.
Yu Tang said, “If you’re looking for your aunt for something else, I’ll go ask your aunt. If it’s because of the rumors about my marriage, I have an idea. You might as well listen.”
Seeing her daughter’s confident look, Chen Shi couldn’t help but hesitate.
Yu Tang smiled and said, “Actually, it’s not difficult. All you need to do is ask an official media to come to your house, give her a sum of money, and tell her what kind of son-in-law our family wants to hire!”
Chen hurriedly said, “How can this work? Official media are usually unreliable.”
Yu Tang smiled and said: “We don’t really want the official media to protect the media, what does it matter if they are reliable?”
Chen shi sat up straight in shock, and said hurriedly, “What do you mean?”
Yu Tang told her mother carefully: “Think about it, we don’t know where those rumors outside come from, we just want to check and we can’t find anything, even if we find out. , if others say ‘it’s just random talk’, we can make us have no way to deal with this kind of thing. The best way to deal with this kind of thing is that we also spread the word. Those people are not saying that I don’t know the sky and the sky, and I need to hire a scholar to do it. Son-in-law? Let’s just announce the conditions for recruiting a son-in-law, and let those rumors go unfounded, won’t this matter be resolved?”
Chen Shi still couldn’t turn around and said, “Can’t we just hire a son-in-law? Those who have read books are different from those who haven’t. Cang Lin knows etiquette, and knows honor and disgrace. If I can’t get enough to eat, where is there so much to pay attention to? Even if he arrives at our house, he is jealous of this one today, and if he plans that one tomorrow, there will be troubles even if nothing is wrong. If the child is influenced by his father in the future… You still have What a good day?”
“How could you just find one?” Yu Tang smiled, “You think too much.”
Chen frowned.
Yu Tang said slowly, “A scholar doesn’t mean you are famous!”
Chen Shi suddenly realized, clenched her daughter’s hand tightly, and said, “Why am I so confused, why am I so confused!”
Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled.
Chen shi said excitedly: “Naturally, those who are famous are reluctant to join the clan, and even if they do, it will be troublesome in the future. We should find a comparable person, who has read books for a few years, is kind, can write and calculate, and can help fight. Take care of the household affairs, and have a grandson in the future, the blood on the father’s side is not bad, and he will definitely not be stupid. If I leave it to your father to teach me carefully for a few years, maybe our family will also be able to raise a juror or a jinshi?” She said more and more. The more feasible it is,
“In such a family, the parents are definitely not the ones who can’t move their feet when they see things. They will have contact with us in the future. When many relatives are walking around, if something happens to you, they can help you there. We can also promise others that three generations will return to the ancestry, and when the time comes, the first family will still follow their family name.”
Having said that, Chen’s depression was swept away, and he couldn’t sit still.
She called Mrs. Chen in, grabbed a handful of copper coins and gave it to Mrs. Chen, and asked Mrs. Chen to invite the official media to come to the house, and said, “Please invite a few more. Anyway, I want to publicize this matter. The more people, the better.”
When Mrs. Chen saw that Yu Tang’s matter had a solution, she was also happy and walked away beaming.
Chen shi laughed, turned around and took her daughter’s hand to look up and down.
Yu Tang thought about how different she was from before, and she felt a little nervous in her heart, and said uncomfortably, “Mom, what’s wrong with you?”
“I’m watching our A-Tang really grow into a big girl.” Chen shi’s eyes and brows were full of joy, “In the past, it was Mu’s mother and your father who were wrong, I always thought you were making a fool of yourself. But look at you these days. Although what you did was very bold, it was also angular, and the idea was very right.” After speaking, she sighed and said with relief, “We didn’t have to keep you at home before, just because we were afraid You can’t support this family. Now it seems that Mu’s mother and your father are concerned about chaos, and I don’t know that our family’s A Tang is a good girl who is determined and responsible! ”
You didn’t miss out!
It was God who gave me another chance so that I could take on this burden when I should take up the responsibility of this family.
The corners of Yu Tang’s eyes were slightly red, and she hugged her mother tightly, and murmured with guilt and sadness: “Mum, don’t say that, it’s me, it’s my fault…”
“Look at you, it’s nonsense again.” How could Mrs. Chen guess what Yu Tang was thinking, thinking that her daughter didn’t know what to say, she pushed Yu Tang away with a smile, seeing Yu Tang’s face full of tears, she wondered , “What’s wrong with you?”
Mother didn’t know anything, but it made Yu Tang feel at ease and stable.
She wiped her tears and smiled, “I-I’m fine, but I haven’t been praised like this by Mommy for a long time!”
“You child!” Chen Shi said with a dumbfounded expression, “Have you embroidered all the shoe uppers you made? If you really find a suitable family, you will be married soon. You don’t even have to go to the store to buy shoes.”
It is a custom here in the south of the Yangtze River. When the bride recognizes her relatives the next day, she will send shoes and socks made by relatives such as father-in-law, mother-in-law, etc.
Yu Tang has been fond of moving and quiet since she was a child, and she was spoiled by her parents, so female Hong was naturally very ordinary. Later, when she married into the Li family, seeing that the Lin family treated her badly, she was even more reluctant to make needlework and embroider a flower for anyone. The leaves are not embroidered well.
Chen shi grabbed her and didn’t let go. She didn’t dare to say more, and ran away in a flash.
Chen shi looked at her daughter’s back and laughed until she couldn’t straighten her back, but she was bumped by Yu Wen who came back from Changxing Street.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “Why are you so happy? I just met A Tiao and said that your body and bones are not good, so you need to invite a doctor…”
Chen shi smiled and told Yu Wen what happened just now, and said, “With Ah Tang’s idea, my illness won’t be cured immediately.”
“Is there such a thing?!” Yu Wen exclaimed, “After three days, you should be impressed. I really didn’t expect it.”
“No!”
The couple sighed with emotion for a long time.
Yu Wen called Yu Tang to the study to give her a good compliment, and gave her a piece of bean paste and green mud inkstone from the Yu family’s ancestors.
Yu Tang took the inkstone and complained to her mother, “If I use such a precious inkstone, my father will definitely scream. What kind of reward is this? It’s just a different place for me to help keep it.”
Chen Shi smiled and nodded Yu Tang’s forehead, “Isn’t it decent enough to be the bottom of the press box for you?”
Yu Tang giggled.
Chen shi loved her daughter and didn’t want her to be disappointed. She went to Yinlou to order a pearl headband and a pair of pearl head flowers for Yu Tang, saying, “When your sister Ma came out of the cabinet, you happened to wear it for a wedding wine.”
Yu Tang said in surprise: “Sister Ma’s wedding date is set?”
Chen shi nodded with a smile, and said, “It’s scheduled for the sixth day of September. Are you ready for the stuff in the box? If not, go to the store and order it. I’ll pay you.”
The daughter’s female red, she is not counting on it.
Yu Tang wanted to give more things to Ma Xiuniang, of course, the more money, the better.
She acted coquettishly and asked for an extra 5 taels of silver from the Chen family, and went to the silver building to order a pair of silver bracelets for Ma Xiuniang, a distraction inlaid with emeralds.
Soon, the official media hyped the Yu family’s conditions for recruiting a son-in-law, and explained: “It’s not that the sons of those families are not good, it’s that they don’t meet the Yu family’s conditions, and there is no way out.”
Everyone thought it was reasonable, and the rumors about Yu Tang’s “high-mindedness and arrogance to recruit a scholar to be his son-in-law” gradually dissipated.
However, Yu Tang’s marriage was also on the hearts of many people.

On this day, Yu Wen came back after presenting the Mid-Autumn Festival gift to Shopkeeper Tong. He was very happy, and said to Mrs. Chen slightly drunk, “Manager Tong said that he wants to be a matchmaker for our family A-Tang!”
Chen shi brought the hangover soup to Yu Wen, and said happily: “quantity and quantity. The shopkeeper Tong is so good, and the marriage he said must be reliable. Sit down and tell me carefully.”
Yu Wen drank the hangover soup in his hand, and said to Mrs. Chen under the lamp: “Tong shopkeeper said that he has a good friend whose surname is Wei, and the couple are both refreshing. There is an oil mill at home with more than 200 acres of land. There is also a hill where more than 300 osmanthus trees have been planted. The five sons in the family are all enlightened and he grew up with him. The eldest son must stay at home to inherit the family business, and the other sons should be able to join the family. If I think it’s ok, he’ll go and find out and call someone out to show us. If it’s alright, let our family’s A-Tang make him a pair of shoes to wear. No, it’s just that I recognize a nephew. .”
“Five sons?” Chen said with a smile, “That’s good. If this marriage happens, we will also have a relative to help. You are a scholar, and you have to take care of the shop in person. If there are more family members A child, you and uncle don’t have to work so hard.”
Yu Wen was happy because of Yu Tang’s marriage, and joked: “After all, it’s all the fault of the Pei family. If it wasn’t for the Pei family’s sponsorship of so many students every year, how could Lin’an House produce so many talented people. You see. Look elsewhere, the talents are more valuable. Look at our Lin’an, it’s really more popular than the dead!”
“Okay, okay, don’t say a few words.” Chen shi smiled and said angrily, “If you drink alcohol, you talk nonsense. The Pei family does good things, but is it hindering you? I think we are from Lin’an House. The less valuable the talents are, the better. How nice to go out! Those who do business outside will not dare to bully them at will.”
