Chen looked forward to it, and finally brought Yu Tang home. Before Yu Tang got off the hired sedan chair and stood firm, she took her daughter's hand and went to the hall.
As she walked, she also ordered Shuangtao: "Cut one of the melons in the well and bring it here, fetch water for the young lady to wash and change her clothes."
Shuangtao left in response.
Yu Tang was pushed by his mother to sit on the grand teacher's chair in the hall.
Seeing that the hair on her temples was wet with sweat, Mrs. Chen was so distressed that she turned around and took out a round fan from nowhere, and sat beside her and fanned: "Tell me, what is going on today? What's the matter? Why did you ask A Shao to bring me such a message? It scared me so much that I was afraid that something might happen to you."
Yu Tang didn't expect it.
She hurriedly apologized to her mother, and said, "I think Mrs. Tang is like a brown candy. I'm afraid she's talking nonsense, and Mommy and Dad are moved by what she said."
Chen said angrily: "Your father and mother are so confused!"
Yu Tang chuckled.
Chen said seriously: "Is there something wrong with the second young master of the Li family?"
Although the daughter's reason for going out was vague, she had more experience than her daughter after all, thinking that Yu Tang was probably worried about her marriage with 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, and it is not a prosperous family with many children. Their husband and wife only think about their daughter's happy life in the future. Isn't it a wonderful marriage? Then he opened his eyes and closed his eyes, and asked A Shao to accompany Yu Tang out.
How could she not be worried when she saw that her daughter was sent to bring a letter to her before she came back
Yu Tang told Chen Shi everything about seeing Li Jun today.
Chen was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear for a long time, until Shuangtao came in with a melon and left after serving Yu Tang to wash and change her clothes. She found her voice and asked Yu Tang who was eating the melon cautiously: "In other words, The second young master of the Li family doesn't know you at all, so Madam Li's marriage proposal is just whitewashing?"
Yu Tang nodded, feeling that today's melon was extra sweet, he stuffed a mouthful for his mother, and told his mother his doubts: "I just think their family must be trying to trick our family. Unfortunately, I can't think of anything that can be sweetened by our family. Let their family covet it."
Chen looked at her daughter's face that looked like it was glazed even in the dimly lit room, and couldn't help feeling a little proud.
A beautiful little girl like their family's A Tang, not to mention Lin'an City, even Hangzhou Prefecture, I'm afraid it's rare.
Couldn't it be that they fell in love with their A Tang's beauty
Although Chen thought so, she also knew that it was not realistic.
She said: "I have already sent someone to bring a letter to your father, and asked him to come back early today. After all, your father was born as a scholar, and he is more knowledgeable than us. He has to make up his mind about this matter."
Three cobblers are worth one Zhuge Liang.
Yu Tang likes to talk about things and discuss them with the family.
She said, "Daddy went to the pier today?"
Pei Man, the newly appointed chief steward of the Pei family, does things neatly. The old man of the Pei family has not passed July 7, and the reconstruction of Changxing Street has already begun. She heard from A Shao before that the Pei family bought a few boats of bricks and tiles from Hangzhou. It will be transported to Tiaoxi Wharf in the next day, and Yu Wen has been with Yu Bo these days.
Mrs. Chen let out a "hmm", feeling that the melons this time were indeed sweeter than usual, and said to Yu Tang, "You save some for your father! This is the only part left in this melon."
Yu Tang blinked at his mother, Yu Wen came back.
Mrs. Chen hurriedly went forward to help Yu Wen wash his face and hands.
Yu Tang got up and called "Daddy", and after Yu Wen finished packing, he brought melons to Yu Wen to eat.
Yu Wen praised her daughter as "Good boy", and asked Mrs. Chen: "What has brought me back in such a hurry. I want to invite shopkeeper Tong to have a drink at the octopus fish restaurant today! It's the best time to eat fish in this season." .”
Chen said with a smile: "I just said, why have you been there for so long? Is the brick and tile business going well?"
"Success." Yu Wen said, "What happened at home?"
Mrs. Chen told about Yu Tang's visit to Zhaoming Temple.
Yu Wen was very thoughtful, and said indifferently: "Whatever they want to do, as long as we don't agree."
Chen frowned and said: "But they are like this, because they are afraid that the plan will be expensive. Without this matter, there will be another thing. It is hard to guard against."
Yu Wen laughed and said, "Apart from our family, A Tang, who entrusted me with a wrong person, what else is there to worry about? Come back after all the money is gone!"
"You're right." Mrs. Chen said dissatisfiedly, "I'm just afraid that they will interfere with our A-Tang's marriage."
"Don't worry about this matter," Yu Wen said, "I have my own opinion."
Yu Tang's scalp tingled when he heard that.
Ever since Lu Xin got involved in selling paintings, she has a new understanding of her father.
She was not at all at ease with his claim.
Yu Tang shook his mother's arm, and said coquettishly: "Mom, look at daddy, he doesn't care about me at all, it's my life's important matter, he wants to settle it without discussing with anyone, how can this be possible! I have to go to see it several times to buy a table!"
"You child, what are you talking about?" Yu Wen glared at his daughter, and said, "Is this selection of husband and son-in-law just to buy a table? You think I'm not in a hurry about your affairs, don't you think there are no good candidates? I know you It's because I'm afraid I'll marry you to the Li family, don't worry, I won't accept it from any other family without your consent."
Yu Tang exclaimed in joy, held the plate containing melons and fruits to Yu Wen's hand like a dog's leg, and said flatteringly: "Father, you are the best person to me in this world, and you are also the best father in this world !"
"That's it!" Although Yu Wen felt that her daughter's words were a bit exaggerated, she still couldn't stop the corners of her mouth from curling up, and she was in a good mood.
Chen shook her head.
In the early morning of the next day, she sent someone to write back to Mrs. Tang, saying that their family had already decided to recruit a relative for Yu Tang, and that they might not be able to marry the Li family.
Mrs. Tang rushed over immediately after receiving the letter, gasping for breath, and said to Mrs. Chen with a wry smile: "We also know that your family is going to recruit a son-in-law, and we have told this to the second young master of the Li family, but unexpectedly, The second young master of the Li family would rather get married than marry Ling Qianjin. No, the eldest young master of their family found out about this incident, locked the second young master at home, and even wrote a letter to Mr. Li. The second young master resolutely refused, The hunger strike has already begun.
"Mrs. Li loves the child the most. She is afraid that something will happen to the second young master, and she is afraid that Mrs. Li will be angry if she finds out. As soon as your man leaves, she will come back. Let me help their second young master go no matter what. Such a trip. It is said that their child really likes your young lady, so you should give their second young master a chance no matter what, and don’t be too busy making an engagement for your young lady. Can you get married, three months at most, Their family will give a letter of approval."
After finishing speaking, she let out a long sigh, took Chen Shi's hand and said, "I envy you, the talented woman in the city. My husband-in-law doesn't say anything to you, even if he raises a daughter, he will do the same for you. Say, What kind of family is the Li family? If he doesn't want to be the second young master, he will come to be your family's son-in-law. Regardless of whether this marriage is successful or not, your life is worth it."
Both Chen Shi and Yu Tang were stunned by this turn of events.
It never occurred to the Li family to consider such harsh conditions proposed by the Yu family.
This made Yu Tang even more afraid of this marriage and the Li family. I also feel that the follow-up of all this is because she went to find Li Jun privately yesterday...
Yu Tang was in a complicated mood.
But in the afternoon, she just wanted to pump herself a few times, and wanted to turn back time.
Chen Yao invited a matchmaker to come to propose marriage.
Mrs. Chen was dumbfounded, and said to Mrs. Chen, "Where did this person come from again?"
Mrs. Chen was also a little dizzy by what happened during this period. She said: "It is said that she is studying in the county school. Yesterday when I went to Zhaoming Temple to play, I ran into our young lady. I never forgot it. After I told my parents, I specially invited someone Come to ask for a kiss."
Chen said: "Then does he know that our family is looking for a son-in-law?"
Mrs. Chen said: "I know it. I also said that he is the third of five sons in their family, and the family agrees to marry him."
Yu Tang rubbed his temples, had no choice but to come out to clean up the mess, told his mother how he met Chen Yao in Zhaoming Temple, and said: "This Chen Yao can't make it, his character is not good."
Chen didn't expect such a thing to happen, she asked Yu Tang curiously: "That Chen Yao really just met you?"
"Really just met me once!" Yu Tang had a headache, "How many times do you want him to see me?"
"Don't worry, don't worry." Chen comforted her daughter and said, "I just didn't expect that someone would actually come to our house to propose marriage after seeing you."
How did Yu Tang feel that there was a hint of pride in her mother's tone
She said weakly: "Can you send that matchmaker away first? She is blocking our door with a bunch of things like this. I'm afraid everyone will think that I am in a hurry to get out of the cabinet!"
Yu Tang's words reminded Mrs. Chen, and Mrs. Chen hurriedly said to Mrs. Chen: "Hurry up and let the matchmaker go. She said that her father has already made up his mind about our Atang's marriage, so let's not discuss it for now."
Mrs. Chen responded and left.
But full of spring breeze.
Obviously very happy that someone can come to the house to propose marriage like this.
Yu Tang thought that this was the end of the matter.
Unexpectedly, after two days, Fu Xiaowan also invited a matchmaker to propose marriage.
It's just that after the Fu family knew that the Yu family was going to recruit a son-in-law, they left very disappointed.
Anyway, there is a normal person!
Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
But her reputation for beauty was spread out.
When the members of the Yu family found out, it was time to give gifts on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The eldest aunt Wang smiled and teased Chen: "Our family, Atang, is really lucky. There are hundreds of girls in the family. I have only seen this kind of thing in books, but this is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes."
Mrs. Chen was worried, and talked to Mrs. Wang: "Am I too timid? A tree is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Why do I think it is not a good thing for A Tang to have such a reputation? It's pounding!"
Mrs. Wang was taken aback, and said: "A Tang in our family is protected by brothers and a talented father. He is not a poor family with no support. There is nothing to be afraid of. However, the girl's family is still more famous than beautiful. Name, Ah Tang's marriage needs to be settled quickly."
