Delicate Flower Chapter 17: Lin
At this time, Mrs. Li once again broke Yu Tang's impression of her.
She still looked a little arrogant, but she spoke in a gentle manner and smiled kindly. She looked at Yu Tang and Ma Xiuniang and said, "These must be the apples of your eyes! It's like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, each has its own merits. Mrs. Tang mentioned to me before, I thought Mrs. Tang was exaggerating, but I didn’t expect that I was too knowledgeable."
Neither Mrs. Chen nor Mrs. Ma are good at socializing. They have never dealt with Mrs. Li before, so they are a little reserved. When they heard this, they humbly said "Where, where", "Madam, thank you" and so on. Kind words.
Mrs. Li, however, seemed to have hit it off with Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Ma. She continued to praise Yu Tang and Ma Xiuniang. She also took out two jade pendants from her sleeves to give them as meeting gifts. What did she say? Thinking of meeting the two of them here, I would like to ask them not to dislike it.
Don’t hit the smiling person with your hand. What's more, Li Yi has been going smoothly in the past few years and has become the prefect of Rizhao. Mrs. Li's natal family is said to be a big businessman in Fujian. Even if she is a little pampered, it is understandable. What's more, she treated them with courtesy, and Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Ma immediately felt that Mrs. Li was a good person. Then he told his daughter to accept the meeting gift and made an appointment to come and say thank you the next time he had the opportunity.
Mrs. Li smiled and said: "Bring the two young ladies here. I only gave birth to two sons, who are like devils. I have always wanted to have a daughter, but I didn't have such a good life." After finishing speaking, , and let out a long sigh.
Ms. Chen used to be in poor health and seldom went out. She really didn’t know much about the Li family. Mrs. Ma was a little better than Ms. Chen. There were only a few Jinshi, Juren, and scholar families in the city. There were no weddings or funerals. , can always be encountered. Seeing Mrs. Li complimenting them, she also reciprocated the compliment and said: "We also envy Mrs. Li for having a good son, who won the imperial examination at a young age! If that **** boy in our family had half the ambition of Mr. Ling, I could do it in the middle of the night. Wake up with a smile."
Whether it is his past life or this life, Li Duan is the pride of Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Ma just scratched her itch.
She couldn't help but look proud, and talked endlessly about Li Duanlai: "Mrs. Ma, thank you! That child, I don't have to worry about his studies... He has been weak and sick since he was a child, for fear that he would not grow up... When he reached the age of marrying a wife, he had another headache... Fortunately, the Gu family saw that he was a scholar and agreed to the marriage... They hoped that he could get married as soon as possible and that he would be able to inscribe his name in spring next year..."
If Mrs. Li is most proud of her son Li Duan's career in this life, then the second thing that makes her most proud is helping Li Duanqiu marry the eldest daughter of the second wife of the Gu family in Hangzhou.
The four major surnames in Jiangnan.
Gu, Shen, Lu, Qian.
Li Duan's wife Gu Xi is the girl from the Gu family in Hangzhou.
Both Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Ma listened with great interest and complimented her from time to time.
Yu Tang looked on with cold eyes.
It seems that Li Duanzhong is the only person in the world who is so beautiful and beautiful.
She thought of what Li Duan had done to her, and when she asked Lin for help tactfully, Lin scolded her for being shameless and seducing Li Duan...
Yu Tang couldn't help but want Lin to experience the sadness, pain and even despair.
She deliberately used a voice that seemed to be lowered but actually could be heard by the people around her. She whispered to Ma Xiuniang in confusion: "How old is the eldest son of the Li family? I just heard from people in the mansion that Pei San I passed the Jinshi examination at the age of twenty-one."
Lin's words suddenly stopped as if she had been punched by someone.
Mrs. Chen's face turned red and she scolded Yu Tang: "What nonsense are you talking about? You can discuss Mr. Pei San's matters." Then he apologized to Mr. Lin, "The kid's family is not sensible, so don't let it go. In my heart."
But Lin's smile still had cracks.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Mrs. Tang smiled and helped Lin out: "Tongyanwuji! Tongyanwuji!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Lin reluctantly smiled at Mrs. Chen as if she was suppressing her anger
Yu Tang was secretly surprised.
When did Lin have such a good temper?
I think back when she married into the Li family, Mrs. Lin could say whatever she wanted about her. Even if Mrs. Lin’s favorite daughter-in-law, Gu Xi, did not meet Lin’s wishes, Mrs. Lin would not give her any advice. Feelings happen.
It can be seen that Mrs. Lin is not really upset.
It's just for my daughter-in-law, I don't want to tolerate it at all.
Yu Tang mocked in his heart.
I heard Mrs. Lin continue: "I just talk a lot, and I can't stop myself when I talk."
"Everyone is the same." Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Ma entertained her.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lin had no intention of leaving at all, and actually continued: "This family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Although I love the eldest son in our family, the one who loves me the most is the younger son. He is better than His brother is four years younger, and he is the second son. He does not need to inherit the family business, so my mother-in-law spoiled him hard and developed an unsophisticated nature. Now he is eighteen, he still doesn’t understand anything, and he dislikes the maids in the family. The mother-in-law is so nagging that she won’t be allowed to serve her closely. She rides horses and plays Cuju all day long with the servants and attendants around her, or she goes to the shop with the accountant at home to check the accounts. I’m going to be worried about his marriage!”
After speaking, he took a deep look at Yu Tang.
Everyone present was stunned.
Especially Yu Tang.
What kind of bad relationship does she have with the Li family?
In her previous life, it was said that Li Jun took a fancy to her. In this life, she avoided Li Jun, but it seemed that she was taken aback by Mrs. Lin.
But thank you so much.
She doesn’t care about the Li family’s daughter-in-law at all.
Thinking of this, she suddenly thought of Gu Xi.
If Gu Xi also knew what would happen if she married into the Li family, I'm afraid she wouldn't marry Li Duan!
How about ruining her marriage to Li Duan?
Mr. Lin will be so angry that she will jump up to three feet high!
Yu Tang felt so happy just thinking about it.
Ms. Chen reacted at this time.
I bet Mrs. Li has taken a fancy to their family Yutang after saying so much!
She had clearly rejected Mrs. Tang just now, so why did Mrs. Li still block them from talking about it?
Ms. Chen is self-aware.
If we talk about looks, their Ah Tang can marry even the Pei family. But if all important matters in marriage are about appearance, how can anyone say that they are well-matched?
She glanced at Mrs. Tang.
Mrs. Tang did not dare to look at her, as if she felt guilty.
Ms. Chen understood.
It turns out that Mrs. Tang's "accidental encounter" with them in the hall was under the entrustment of Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li ignored the unfamiliarity between the two families and awkwardly chatted with her here. It turned out that she didn’t want to give up!
This kind of thing cannot be delayed. If it is delayed, it will easily give rise to a lot of rumors.
Their family's A-tang has also reached the age of proposing marriage, but this cannot affect the marriage.
Mrs. Chen smiled and said to Mrs. Lin: "You have the same heartache as me. We only have this daughter in our family. Her father holds it in his hand for fear of falling, and holds it in his mouth for fear of melting. I am determined to recruit a son-in-law. But it is so easy to recruit a son-in-law. I am worried about losing my hair."
Lin was stunned.
Yu Tang had fun.
Did Ms. Lin never expect that she would be rejected?
Lin's smile could no longer be maintained. She said a few words to Mrs. Chen in a hurry, and then left hastily with Mrs. Tang.
Yu Tang could not wait to hug her mother and kiss her twice.
Looking at Mrs. Lin’s back, she felt relieved and decided to give Mrs. Lin another “gift”.
"Mom," she said with a smile, "is the Li family in the south of the city the same Li family that sells fruit?"
Li Yi’s ancestor started his business by selling fruits.
Of course, this was decades ago.
Not much is known about Lin'an City today.
After she married into the Li family, she occasionally heard this from a servant of the Li family.
Lin’s natal family is in the silk and tea business, and has been a big businessman for several generations. She is very taboo about people saying that the ancestors of the Li family were fruit sellers.
Neither Mrs. Chen nor Mrs. Ma have heard of it.
They didn't know how to answer for a while.
Yu Tang saw that Mrs. Lin staggered obviously and almost fell.
The villain in Yu Tang’s heart laughed. She decided to send some more "gifts" to Mrs. Lin: "Mom, haven't you heard of it? Mrs. Wang who runs the tea stall on East Street and Ah Liuke who sells pears in Xiaomeixi all know about it."
"Really?" Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Ma thought Yu Tang was just chatting, so they responded casually.
Yu Tang felt that Mrs. Lin was a little unable to stand.
She was laughing and wanted to make some sarcastic remarks about Mrs. Lin, but out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly spotted someone standing in the corridor next to her.
Yu Tang raised his eyes, suddenly became embarrassed, and took two steps back.
It was her turn to almost fall.
Ma Xiuniang helped her quickly with eyes and hands, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? You can't stand firm and your foot is sprained?"
"No, no." Yu Tang said with a red face, "I'm fine!"
The man stood on tiptoes, stretched his neck and looked behind Ma Xiuniang.
Ma Xiuniang and others looked at her.
The corridor is dark and gray-roofed, with smooth green oil and whirling bamboo branches. It is empty but full of rich green. From a distance, a cool breeze blows in your face.
"What are you looking at?" several people asked Yu Tang in confusion.
"I didn't see anything! I didn't see anything!" Yu Tang pretended to be peaceful and pulled her mother's sleeve, "Good morning, my guest. Let's go back quickly!"
Everyone is tired too.
"Okay!" Mrs. Ma warmly invited Chen and her daughter ~IndoMTL.com~ If you have some free time, come and sit at our house. Her father went to Hangzhou and will not come back for another seven or eight days. You guys Here you go, just be my companion. ”
Ms. Chen agreed, talked to Mrs. Ma and her daughter, went to say hello to Yu Wen, and returned home.
Yu Tang has been absent-minded.
What kind of luck has she had during this time? No matter where you go, you can meet the third master of the Pei family.
And this was when she was most embarrassed - she just laughed at Pei's house.
In such a solemn occasion as the funeral, she actually laughed, and she laughed happily, and she was caught by the third master of the Pei family.
Does he think he has no respect for the deceased?
Besides, his face looked so ugly just now.
It seems so gloomy that ink can drip from it.
I wonder if he was so angry when he heard her laugh? Or is he just in a bad mood?
However, how could he go there alone and meet them by chance?
Did he only see himself smiling or did he even hear her sarcastic remarks about Mrs. Lin?
Yu Tang sighed.
She probably doesn’t feel good in his heart!
Yu Tang thought of the pruned flower trees in the Pei family.
A vast area of green.
No noise.
I don’t know if she will be disposed of by him like the flowers on the flower trees...
But then again, he is a bit too narrow-minded.
Keep a straight face on the smallest things.
Or a sage?
But now that his father has passed away, he should have to observe filial piety at home, right?
They might meet again in the future...
Why is she so unlucky?
Yutang was depressed for several days.
