When Yu Wen walked into Yu Tang's room, Yu Tang and Shuang Tao were putting some of the finished silk flowers in a paper box. Yu Wen couldn't help laughing when he saw it, and said, "You've been doing this for the past few days!" As he spoke, he walked over to pick up a half-made silk flower and looked at it carefully, "It's quite similar of."
Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled, went to pour a cup of tea for his father himself, and said, "I heard that Master Wu is here. Has he left? Are you looking for me for something?"
When Yu Wen came here, he was very angry, and his thoughts were quite simple. When he saw his daughter, he felt a little embarrassed for a while, and didn't know how to speak up.
When Yu Tang saw it, he dismissed Shuangtao, went to wash a plate of fruit and put it in front of his father, then sat beside his father, and continued making silk flowers slowly, giving his father time to talk.
After such a toss, Yu Wen really felt a little more at ease, and said after deliberation: "A Tang, you are not too young, what plans do you have for your own marriage?"
Yu Tang's first reaction was to suspect that Master Wu came this time to promise her a kiss.
Without even thinking about it, she said, "I want to marry someone I like."
There was also a little uneasiness in my heart.
This Pei Yan usually seems to be quite stable, but why is it so unreasonable at such a critical time
Didn't he say that he would come to the house to propose marriage immediately? So far there is no shadow.
She thought so in her heart, and told her rationally that Mrs. Pei's filial piety period has not yet passed, maybe he is planning to come to propose marriage as soon as he takes off his filial piety, and it is normal for a matchmaker to come to the door after Mrs. Pei's filial piety period is over. , she shouldn’t blame him in her heart.
But Yu Tang became impatient after all. She couldn't hold back and said: "Master Wu came to our house, did he want to say goodbye to me? What kind of family? What did they say? Where's Mu Ma? Why didn't she come over?"
Generally, even if the father knows about this kind of thing first, it will be the mother who will tell the daughter.
Yu Tang didn't think much about it, the relationship between her and her father has always been closer than that of an ordinary father and daughter, and it is also possible for her father. It's just that she is more resistant to this kind of thing now, and unconsciously uses Chen as an excuse to delay.
She stretched her neck and looked out the door.
Yu Wen was taken aback by the question, and realized something wrong with him.
He faltered for a while, and then said: "Your mother is waiting in front of the guests. I have nothing to do, so I just want to ask you. I only have a daughter like you. Of course, I hope that everything goes well for you. Although The marriage of children is the intention of parents, but I also think that you can be satisfied and live a good life."
Yu Wen's words were vague, but Yu Tang immediately realized that there was a disagreement between her parents on her marriage.
The mother was in favor of it, but the father was actually the one who opposed it.
She couldn't help asking: "Father, what happened? Why did Muma treat guests in front? Could it be you and Muma..."
When she said this, she looked at her father with bright eyes, revealing a bit of worry in her seriousness.
Yu Wen's heart suddenly softened, thinking of such a good girl, who grew up in his hands, how could he let her marry into the Pei family, look at the eyes of the Pei family, and be ordered by the Pei family
He suddenly became more courageous, wanting to protect his daughter from being bullied, he said solemnly: "A Tang, I am going to keep you at home to recruit a son-in-law. What do you think?"
Whether to recruit a son-in-law or leave the court is a commonplace in the Yu family, but Yu Wen has never been so sure.
Yu Tang was very anxious, just wanted to know what happened.
Yu Wen, however, had already made up his mind, waved his hand at Yu Tang, got up and said, "Just stay at home, I'll make the decisions for you about the outside world", and quickly left Yu Tang's room.
Yu Tang chased after him.
But Yu Wen asked her to go back to the room: "Your mother and I still have something to talk about, you just need to stay in the room."
Yu Tang couldn't persevere, and when Yu Wen left, she immediately called Shuang Tao over: "Go and find out what happened before?"
Since Shuangtao went to see Wang Si, not only did she know more about Wang Si's character, she also negotiated the details of marriage with Wang Si. Hearing this, he immediately responded with a crisp "Yes" with a smile, and ran away in a hurry.
Yu Tang anxiously waited in the room.
Yu Wen entered the hall with a sullen face, and found that Mr. Wu was no longer there. Wang Shi and Xiang Shi, who was holding the child, came over at some time, and together with Yu Bo and Yu Yuan, they surrounded Chen with laughter and laughter. Shi is talking about Yu Tang's marriage.
"Since I was young, I have been fat and white, with eyes like two crystals, round and round, I don't know how clever it is. I thought, this child is a blessed one. No, I guessed it right, our family A Tang Ah, to be able to marry the third master of the Pei family. That is the Jinshi master! He is so beautiful, and there is no other one in Lin'an City." Wang said there.
Xiangshi was really happy for Yu Tang, and naturally she wanted to follow her mother-in-law's words: "That's right! I've heard of the Pei family before when I was in Fuyang. Being rich is second to none. The main thing is that they have a good family style! I didn't pay for it. A concubine raises a concubine, and the younger ones are making progress. From time to time, some people take an examination for a scholar and win a job, and our family, A Tang, really rested on the plane tree."
"I didn't think about it either." Chen said with a smile, "I wondered if she won the favor of Lao An. I felt it when I was in Zhaoming Temple last time. Pei Lao An seemed to like our A-Tang very much. Yes, even I followed suit. Not only did I sit with Pei Lao'an and the others, but when Ah Tang suffered from heat stroke, Pei Lao'an personally asked about it and asked the caring woman beside me to give me ginseng as a pill. Thinking, our family, A Tang, is married, at least my mother-in-law likes it. This life will be easier."
Hearing this, Yu Wen was so angry that he almost fell down, broke in and said, "How is my Yu Wen's daughter worse than others? To curry favor with Mr. Pei? I don't agree with this marriage..."
Everyone was shocked, and there was no sound.
Looking at it, Yu Wen felt a little better.
Who knows that Yu Bo, who usually respects Yu Wen as his younger brother, but his face sank, stepped forward and pushed him aside, as if he didn't hear what he said, he said directly to Chen Shi: "Pei Lao'an Whether he likes A Tang or not is secondary. What matters is the third master Pei. He must like A Tang. Otherwise, the second master Pei would not come forward to talk about it in person. I see, our side You have to prepare well. When the matchmaker from the Pei family comes to the door, it can’t be too shabby.” He said, looked around a few times, and said, “The people who come will not go to other places, and we can’t do it either. It’s too obvious. The courtyard and the living room need to be cleaned, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard need to be trimmed. If you really don’t know what to do, you can go outside the city and invite a gardener to come to your door and add some flowers and trees to your home. The flower goblets on the long table are too ordinary. I remember that my second brother has some precious ones in his study, and I will take them out to see if there are any suitable ones. If not, I will go and buy some... "
He ordered everything in detail, Yu Yuan nodded again and again, and said: "Leave this matter to me! Yao San came back a few days ago and invited me to drink together. His business has become better and better in recent years Yes, I often deliver goods to some big families in the city of Hangzhou, he is well-informed, and I asked him to help out with ideas."
While bumping the child, Xiangshi hurriedly told him: "It's fine to come up with ideas, don't be a fool, and let him listen to everything. The third master Pei hasn't given his filial piety yet, and the matchmaker hasn't come to the door, so don't worry about it." We haven't said anything yet, but the troubles on our side are known to everyone. If people in the Pei family know about it, they will think that the head of our family is not stable and does not seem to be a big deal. From now on, Atang will marry into the Pei family , will be looked down upon.”
Mrs. Wang felt that Xiang's way of beating the child was too heavy, so she stepped forward to take the child from Xiang's hands, and said, "Daughter-in-law A Yuan is right. If you want to tidy up the yard, you have to do it as soon as possible. This way the flowers and trees grow up and look like The things at home, so as not to let others see that they are newly planted, and it seems that our family has no heritage."
Mrs. Chen nodded without saying anything, and called Mrs. Chen over, saying: "You have memorized it all. If I forget, please remember to remind me."
Originally, Mrs. Chen didn't know what happened, but when Yu Wen and Master Wu quarreled, everyone in the family knew about it. She thought more simply than Mrs. Chen. She felt that the young lady of their family had just hit the jackpot. The Yu family would prosper in the future. It would be enviable for them to go out as domestic servants in the future. Chen is even more happy.
Her face turned into a flowery smile, she hastily agreed without saying a word, and said: "Ma'am, Ma'am, do you want to add some new winter clothes to the lady? There are only a few famous tailors in Lin'an City. Now If you don't make an appointment, I'm afraid it will be too late. If I remember correctly, the old master of the Pei family will be out in mid-September."
Out of the server, this marriage will be a big fanfare.
Chen said repeatedly: "If you don't tell me, I'll forget about it..."
"No need!" The Wang family next to her interrupted Chen's words, and said, "A Tang's clothes, go to Hangzhou City to make them. She will deal with people like the Song family and the Qian family in the future, so don't wear clothes." There are many, but all the essentials can be provided, no matter how good the tailors in Lin’an are, they can’t compare with the tailors in Hangzhou.”
Yu Bo made a decision: "This matter is decided in this way. I will leave it to your daughter-in-law, A Yuan, to make clothes. A Yuan's wife is young, and she knows what styles are popular now. As for the money, I will pay from my shop first." , Keep an account, and you will know how much you spent later."
"Thanks to her uncle!" Chen didn't slap her face to pretend to be fat, and this kind of thing can't pretend to be fat.
She thanked Yu Bofu gratefully.
No one paid attention to Yu Wen's anger.
Yu Wen was so angry that he stood on the grand teacher's chair in the living room, and shouted at his brother and sister-in-law: "I don't agree to this marriage, I don't agree!"
This is just a marriage proposal. In order to take over the Pei family, their family looks like they want to empty out their wealth. If they really became in-laws with the Pei family, wouldn't their family have a hard time? Do you rack your brains like this every year to save face for Ah Tang
Yu Wen shouted: "Where's Brother Wu? What did he go to do? Did he go back to Pei's house for news?"
As he asked, he immediately jumped off the grand teacher's chair, and chased outside.
Their family is a family of scholars, and they have to be trustworthy.
He can object to this marriage, but he can't let Mr. Wu object to this marriage after he returns to Pei's family.
Then what kind of family has their Yu family become
