Delicate Flower Chapter 16: Lady

Yu Tang listened intently to Ma Xiuniang's words. Someone came over to say hello to Mrs. Chen: "You are a rare guest! In 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."

Both Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Ma Xiucai 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.

Her eyes turned cold.

Mrs. Tang, the wife of scholar Tang’s family in this city.

In other words, she was entrusted by the Li family in her previous life and sent her a message in private. If she agreed to the Li family's marriage, the Li family was willing to lend five thousand taels of silver to the Yu family.

In her previous life, she regarded Mrs. Tang as a benefactor and thought she was very kind-hearted.

Later, as she gained more knowledge, she realized that Mrs. Tang was able to go beyond her aunt and encourage a little girl to secretly agree to marry the Li family. She was clearly harboring evil intentions.

Mrs. Tang, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Ma returned the gift, took out the handkerchief and wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of their eyes, and said with a bit of sadness: "No! The old man has gone, but our Lin'an City A big event here! The prefect’s wife is also here. No, I have been resting with her in the small courtyard over there, and I didn’t notice that you guys are here too.”

Both Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Ma don't want to deal with Mrs. Tang. This is really because Mrs. Tang likes to socialize and socialize very much, climb high and make friends, and also likes to brag and show off.

Because Tang Zhifu had the same surname as Tang Xiucai, she somehow made Tang Zhifu, who was two years younger than Tang Xiucai, become Tang Xiucai's uncle. She even fawned over Mrs. Tang all day long, with such enthusiasm that Mrs. Tang couldn't stand it sometimes.

Hearing that she was showing off here again, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Ma, who didn't like her very much, said a few words to her dryly and were ready to send her away.

Who would have thought that Mrs. Tang, who usually had no eyes for anyone else after seeing Mrs. Tang, seemed to have taken the wrong medicine today. Not only did she not leave, she also looked at Yu Tang and Ma Xiuniang with a smile and said, "How many days have passed since then?" We haven’t seen each other yet, and the young lady from the Yu family and the young lady from the Ma family have both grown up. They are beautiful and docile. If we bumped into them on the street, I would definitely not recognize them."

Ms. Chen and Mrs. Ma had no choice but to let their daughter salute Mrs. Tang and say a few words of modesty.

Mrs. Tang seemed unable to notice Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Ma's perfunctory behavior, and said affectionately: "How else can I tell Mrs. Tang that among all the talented ladies in this city, you two are the most virtuous and virtuous? No one can take a casual look at such a beautiful girl. If I had a daughter with such a long face, I would have taken her everywhere with her."

The two of them didn't want to say anything more to her, so they just responded.

I don’t know if Yu Tang is overthinking it. She always feels that Mrs. Tang seems to be sizing up her and Ma Xiuniang on the surface, but in fact she pays 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 got her haircut in March last year. Have you made an appointment to get married? We have such an outstanding little girl. Wife, you can’t just marry someone casually.”

Ma Xiuniang lowered her head in shame.

Mrs. Ma frowned.

In public, it was very rude for Mrs. Tang to speak so frankly about Ma Xiuniang's marriage in front of Ma Xiuniang.

Mrs. Ma said displeasedly: "Mrs. Tang remembered wrongly. The girl from the Yu family got her haircut in March, and our daughter got her haircut in May."

"Oh! Look at my memory!" Mrs. Tang smiled, looked at the Chen mother and daughter, and said, "Has the young lady of the Yu family spoken about the marriage? Do you want me to help care about it? Guess, I just said Who did you meet? Mrs. Yang, the sister-in-law of the eldest wife of the Pei family. Mrs. Yang did not come alone this time. She brought her nephew with her! And I heard that Mrs. Yang’s husband is in the General Affairs Department. Ren Tongzheng Envoy! A serious third-grade official. Otherwise, why would Mrs. Tang be there with you all the time!"

What do you mean by this?

Who did Mrs. Yang bring here and what does it have to do with Yu Tang?

Do you want to use the power of the Yang family to seduce the Yu family?

Ms. Chen was slightly stunned, and said in a stiff tone: "Then we won't delay Mrs. Tang's social activities. Our girl is keeping the one we are planning to recruit a son-in-law."

Mrs. Tang was stunned.

Chen's thin body stood in front of her daughter, not moving.

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 visit your house when I'm free."

"I won't give it away!" Mrs. Chen said calmly.

Mrs. Tang left a little sadly.

Mrs. Ma took a long breath and made no secret of her dislike of Mrs. Tang. She said, "Fortunately, she got the idea and left. If I say a few more words, I can't help it." After saying that, she greeted Yu Tang and Ma Xiuniang. He sat down and said to them with a straight face, "Little girl, if you encounter something like this in the future, you should ignore it and avoid it. Do you understand?"

Ma Xiuniang shouted in grievance, "It's not what I want to hear..."

"Adults are talking, children are listening." 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?" ? Whether it’s Mrs. Tang or Mrs. Yang, no matter how good someone else’s family is, it’s still someone else’s family. She climbed up the pole like this, but she didn’t see how good she ended up!”

Benefits? !

Yu Tang was stunned.

Ms. Chen responded and whispered to Mrs. Ma about Mrs. Tang. Ma Xiuniang also pulled Yu Tang and whispered: "I'm telling you, someone has come to our house to propose marriage to me. But there is no mother in that family. There are several younger brothers and sisters, but my mother was still hesitant, so she didn’t reveal the news to the outside world."

Discussing marriage?

Did the marriage discussions just start at this time?

Is it the boy named Zhang from the previous life?

Yu Tang was attracted by Ma Xiu Niang's words and was not interested in thinking about Mrs. Tang's words. He curiously asked about the people who went to Ma Xiu Niang's house to propose marriage.

Ma Xiuniang was shy but couldn't help showing off and said: "It's senior brother Zhang who studies with my father. He is a very nice person and is honest and responsible. He never goes out to drink and have fun with those people. He is also diligent in his studies. My father said, There is no way he can be a scholar. If this marriage is decided, I am afraid that he will get 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 sadness of losing her parents and didn't pay much attention to Ma Xiuniang. She didn’t know when Ma Xiuniang got engaged to Zhang Tongsheng or when she left the pavilion. If it weren’t for the five-tael silver bracelet, she might not even have an impression of Ma Xiuniang.

Her treatment of Ma Xiuniang was not as pure and caring as Ma Xiuniang's treatment of her.

"Then you have to be good!" Yu Tang didn't know if she would live well after getting married, so she could only send this indifferent blessing.

Ma Xiuniang nodded vigorously, as if Yu Tang's blessing was enough for her.

Yu Tang held Ma Xiuniang's hand tightly.

The food has begun to be served in the hall.

Yu Tang thought of Mrs. Li.

Her father-in-law Li Yi in her previous life was serving as the magistrate in Rizhao, Shandong Province. Mrs. Li often boasted that she came from a family of officials. Ordinary people didn't take it seriously at all. In her eyes, those talented ladies were "mud-legged" She is a poor person who has not been cleansed." Usually when I meet her, I will probably turn my nostrils upward and pretend not to notice. This is also the reason why Yu Tang is not afraid of meeting her even though they are all from the countryside.

Looking at the entire Lin'an Mansion, there are really not many Jinshi wives.

Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Li often visited each other and had a good relationship.

Since Mrs. Yang will come and Mrs. Tang will accompany her, then Mrs. Li must be among them.

Mrs. Tang came over to greet them inexplicably. Wouldn’t she also meet Mrs. Li inexplicably?

Yu Tang lowered his head to eat, deciding to avoid those noble women - she was not afraid of Mrs. Li, she was afraid that she would be unable to control herself and throw tea in her face without a reasonable explanation, which would embarrass her mother.

But sometimes the less you want something to happen, the more it will happen.

" He unexpectedly ran into Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Li, Yu Tang’s mother-in-law from his previous life.

Mrs. Li is still as annoying to Yu Tang as in her previous life. Her jet-black hair was meticulously pulled into a bun, she wore two white velvet camellias, a moon-white Hangzhou silk jacket and a black horse-faced skirt. She had a straight face, a serious expression, and a bit of arrogance.

From a distance, Yu Tang felt 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 this mean?

Yu Tang knows that she is good-looking, and is often looked at because of her good looks, but she is not that arrogant and thinks that Mrs. Li, with her sharp and mean temperament, will pay attention to her, or even pay attention to her, just because she is good-looking.

Some idea flashed through her mind~IndoMTL.com~ and she wanted to catch it, but it suddenly disappeared.

"Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Ma!" Mrs. Tang walked over with a loud smile and said, "This is really destined." As she said, she introduced Mrs. Li beside her to Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Ma, "This is Mrs. Li from the Li Mansion in the south of the city is the wife of Mr. Li who was the prefect of Rizhao in the same year as the second master."

Ms. Chen and Mrs. Ma had to stop and say hello to them.

Mrs. Li glanced at Yu Tang several more times.

Yu Tang was now sure that his intuition was correct.

Both Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Li are here for her.

But what is it about her that deserves their attention?

Li Jun has not seen her yet!

Mrs. Li greeted Mr. Chen and Mrs. Ma gracefully, and spoke to Mr. Chen and Mrs. Ma cordially: "I have heard of your reputation for a long time, but by coincidence, I never had the chance to meet. We are lucky enough to meet you here today."

Ms. Chen and Mrs. Ma even said they didn't dare.

Mrs. Li's eyes were always looking at Yu Tang, intentionally or unintentionally.

Yu Tang sneered in his heart and let her see.

Although her skin is very white, smooth and delicate without any blemishes, her cheeks are like those of a child, always a little fat, and her body is also round and round. Although she is exquisite, she is also plump, unlike many ladies of today. Stretch out your hand so thin you can see the bones. For this reason, Mrs. Li always disliked her for being fat, saying that all she could see was her skin color.

In her previous life, she had a very low self-esteem for a period of time and did not dare to eat more.

It wasn’t until her sister-in-law in her previous life, Li Duan’s wife Gu, said enviously that her appearance was suitable for childbirth, that she was shocked to realize that Mrs. Li was completely nitpicking, thinking that she had defeated Li Jun to death and just hated her. .
