Delicate Flower Chapter 24: Good reputation

Ms. Chen waited eagerly and finally brought Yu Tang back home. Before Yu Tang could get out of the hired sedan and stand still, she took her daughter's hand and went to the hall.

As she left, she ordered Shuangtao: "Cut a melon from the well and bring it over, get water and help the lady wash and change clothes."

The two peaches responded and left.

Yu Tang was held down by his mother and sat on the Taishi chair in the hall.

Seeing that her hair on the temples was wet with sweat, Mrs. Chen felt extremely distressed. She turned around and took out a round fan from nowhere. She sat next to her and fanned herself: "Please tell me carefully. What happened today? Why did you ask A Tiao to bring me such a message midway? It scared me so much that I was restless, for fear that something would happen to you."

Yu Tang didn’t expect it.

She hurriedly apologized to her mother and said: "I think Mrs. Tang is like a candy, and I'm afraid she will talk nonsense and my mother and father will be moved by what she says."

Ms. Chen said angrily: "Your father and mother are so confused!"

Yu Tang chuckled.

Ms. Chen said seriously: "Is there something wrong with the second young master of the Li family?"

Although the reason why her daughter went out was vague, she had experienced more than her daughter after all. She thought that Yu Tang was probably worried about her marriage to the Li family and wanted to see for herself what the second young master of the Li family looked like. Their family is not a wealthy family with many rules, nor is it a prosperous family with many children. The couple just want their daughter to live happily in the future. They think that if they can see it right, what will happen? Isn’t it an excellent marriage? Only then did he turn a blind eye and let A Tiao accompany Yu Tang out.

Seeing that her daughter could not wait until she came back, she sent A Tiao to bring a message to her. How could she not be worried?

Yu Tang told Mrs. Chen everything about her meeting with Li Jun today.

Ms. Chen was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time. It wasn't until Shuangtao came in with melons and served Yu Tang to freshen up and change clothes before leaving that she found her voice and carefully asked Yu Tang who was eating the melon: "Yes." That is to say, the second young master of the Li family doesn’t know you at all, and Mrs. Li’s proposal for marriage is just a whitewash?”

Yu Tang nodded, feeling that today's melon was extra sweet, stuffed a mouthful into it and gave it to her mother, and told her mother her suspicions: "I just feel that their family must have something to do with our family. Unfortunately, I can't think of our family. Is there anything they can covet?"

Ms. Chen couldn't help but feel proud as she looked at her daughter's face, which still looked like it was glazed even in the dimly lit room.

There are probably not many beautiful girls like their Ah Tang in Hangzhou Prefecture, let alone Lin'an City.

Couldn’t it be that their Ah Tang is beautiful?

Although Chen thinks so, he also knows that it is not realistic.

She said: "I have asked someone to bring a message to your father, asking him to come back early today. After all, your father is a scholar and is more knowledgeable than us. He still has to make the decision on this matter. ”

Three cobblers are worth one Zhuge Liang.

Yu Tang likes to talk about anything and discuss it with the family.

She said: "Daddy went to the pier today?"

Pei Man, the new chief steward of the Pei family, works neatly. The old man of the Pei family has not yet passed Qiqi, and the reconstruction of Changxing Street has already begun. She heard A Tiao say before that the Pei family bought several ships of bricks and tiles from Hangzhou. , it will be transported to Tiaoxi Wharf in the next two days. Yu Wen has been with Yu Bo these days.

Ms. Chen said "hmm" and felt that the melon this time was indeed sweeter than usual. She said to Yu Tang: "Save some for your father! This is all that is left of this melon."

Yu Tang blinked at his mother, Yu Wen was back.

Ms. Chen hurriedly stepped forward to greet Yu Wen and served him to wash his face and hands.

Yu Tang stood up and called "Dad", and after Yu Wen finished cleaning up, he brought melon to Yu Wen.

Yu Wen praised his daughter for being "good" and asked Mrs. Chen, "What brought me back in such a hurry? I also want to invite shopkeeper Tong to Zhang Er Fish House for a drink today! This is the best time to eat fish in this season. It couldn't be better."

Ms. Chen smiled and said, "I'm just asking, why did it take you so long? Did the brick and tile business go well?"

"It went well." Yu Wen said, "What happened at home?"

Ms. Chen told Yu Tang about going to Zhaoming Temple.

Yu Wen was very ambitious and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter what they want to do, as long as we don't agree to it."

Ms. Chen frowned and said, "But if they are like this, they are afraid that what they are trying to do is expensive. Without this incident, something else will happen, which is hard to guard against."

Yu Wen smiled and said: "Except for the bad people our family A Tang has entrusted to us, what else do we have to worry about? We will come back after all the money is gone!"

"What you said is good." Mrs. Chen said dissatisfiedly, "I'm just afraid that they will interfere with our Ah Tang's marriage."

"Don't worry about this," Yu Wen said, "I have my own opinion."

Yutang’s scalp felt numb as he listened.

Since the incident of Lu Xin selling paintings, she has a new understanding of her father.

She was not at all reassured by his proposition.

Yu Tang shook his mother's arm and said coquettishly: "Mom, look at my dad, he doesn't care about me at all. It is a major event in my life. He wants to settle it without anyone discussing it. How can this be done? Ah! Even if I buy a table, I still have to look at it several times!"

"You kid, what are you talking about?" Yu Wen glared at his daughter and said, "Are you buying a table when choosing a husband? You think I'm not in a hurry about your affairs. Doesn't that mean there aren't any good candidates? I know you are afraid that I will marry you to the Li family. Don’t worry, I won’t agree to it without your consent.”

Yu Tang exclaimed with joy, held the plate with fruits to Yu Wen's hand, and said flatteringly: "Dad, you are the best person to me in this world, and you are also the best person in this world. My father!"

"That's right!" Although Yu Wen felt that his daughter's words were a bit exaggerated, he still couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and feel comfortable.

Ms. Chen shook his head.

Early the next morning, she sent someone to reply to Mrs. Tang, saying that their family had decided to marry Yu Tang and they might not be able to marry the Li family.

After getting the letter, Mrs. Tang rushed over immediately. While panting, she said with a wry smile to Mrs. Chen: "We also know that your family is looking for a son-in-law. We also told the second young master of the Li family about this, but we didn't expect it." What is surprising is that the second young master of the Li family would rather get married than marry his daughter. No, the eldest young master of their family found out about this matter, locked the second young master at home, and even wrote a letter to Mr. Li. The second young master was determined If he doesn’t comply, he has already started a hunger strike.

"Mrs. Li loves her children the most. She is not only afraid that the second young master will have some shortcomings, but also afraid that Mr. Li will be angry when he finds out. As soon as your people leave, she will come back and ask me to help their family no matter what. The second young master made such a trip. It is said that their child really likes your young lady. I ask you to give their second young master a chance no matter what, and don’t be too busy getting engaged to your young lady. Can you marry me, at most three Within a few months, their family will give you an approval letter."

After saying that, she sighed, took Chen's hand and said, "I envy you among all the talented ladies in this city. My husband is devoted to you, and he will do this to support you even if he raises a daughter. Tell me, what kind of family is the Li family? If his dignified second young master doesn't do anything, he comes to be your son-in-law. No matter whether this marriage is successful or not, your life will be worth it."

Both Chen and Yu Tang were shocked by this turn of events.

I didn’t expect that the Li family would consider such harsh conditions proposed by the Yu family.

This made Yu Tang even more wary of this marriage and the Li family. She also felt that all this happened because she went to see Li Jun privately yesterday...

Yu Tang was in a complicated mood.

And when the afternoon came, she just wanted to slap herself a few times and turn back time.

Chen Yao invited a matchmaker to propose marriage.

Ms. Chen was stunned and asked Mrs. Chen, "Where did this person come from?"

Mr. Chen was also a little dizzy by what happened during this period. She said: "I was studying in the county school. Yesterday when I went to Zhaoming Temple to play, I met our young lady by chance. I couldn't forget it. After I reported it to my parents, I especially I invited someone to propose marriage."

Ms. Chen said: "Then does he know that our family is looking for a son-in-law?"

Mr. Chen said: "She said she knew. She also said that he was the third of five sons in their family, and the family agreed to let him marry into the family."

Yu Tang rubbed his temples and had to come out to clean up the mess. He told his mother how he met Chen Yao in Zhaoming Temple and said, "This Chen Yao is not good. He has a bad character."

Ms. Chen didn't expect such a thing to happen. She asked Yu Tang curiously: "Is it true that Chen Yao only met you once?"

"You really only met me once!" Yu Tang had a headache, "How many more times do you want him to see me?"

"Don't worry, don't worry. ~IndoMTL.com~ Mrs. Chen comforted her daughter and said, "I just didn't expect that someone would actually come to our house to propose marriage after meeting you. ”

Why did Yu Tang feel that there was a hint of pride in his mother's tone?

She said feebly: "Can you send that matchmaker away first? With her blocking the door of our house with a bunch of things, I'm afraid everyone will think that I am in a hurry to leave the court!"

Yu Tang’s words reminded Mrs. Chen, who hurriedly said to Mrs. Chen: "Quick, go and let the matchmaker go. She said that her father has already made plans for our A-Tang's marriage, so we won't discuss it for now."

Ms. Chen left in response.

But his face was full of spring breeze.

Obviously I am very happy that someone can come to my house to propose marriage.

Yu Tang thought this was the end of the matter.

I never thought that two days later, Fu Xiaowan would also invite a matchmaker to propose marriage.

It’s just that the Fu family left in disappointment when they found out that the Yu family was looking for a son-in-law.

At least there is a normal person!

Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief.

But her reputation for beauty spread.

By the time the Yu family knew it, it was time to give out gifts during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

My eldest aunt Wang laughed and teased Chen: "Our family, Ah Tang, is really lucky. There are many girls in the family. I have only read about such a thing in books, but this is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes." ”

Mr. Chen was worried and talked to Ms. Wang: "Am I too timid? If a tree is as beautiful as the forest, the wind will destroy it. Why do I feel that it is not a good thing for Ah Tang to have this reputation? When I get up, my heart is pounding!"

Ms. Wang was stunned and said: "Our A-tang has brothers to protect her, and a father who is a scholar. She is not a poor family with no one to rely on. There is nothing to be afraid of. However, the girl's family is still well-known. More important than a good reputation, Ah Tang’s marriage must be finalized as soon as possible.”
