Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 661 Invitation

Seeing that Mrs. Xie listened to her words, Mrs. Fang not only didn't think about stopping her son from letting him go to other places, but humbly asked her about the matters that should be paid attention to when serving as an official in other places, and she also developed a heart of approval for the mother of the son's brother-in-law.

She smiled and said: "Your family Xu Chengyuan is afraid that he will be let go. If you have any questions, you can come to the door. I don't have much else. I still have experience in this field, so I can talk to you about it. "

Mrs. Xie was about to say a word of gratitude when she saw a servant girl running in and said: "Young Mistress said that Young Master and the others are coming soon, let the wives go out."

Several people got up and went out to see the scenery of the son straddling the street.

After a while, Du Fangling saw a group of people coming on horseback from a distance, and Du Fangling was very excited, pointing to the one in the front and shouting: "Look, Brother Ning, that's Brother Ning."

When Du Jinning's quick ride came downstairs, Du Fangling shouted loudly: "Du Jinning."

Du Jinning heard the voice, looked up, and saw the faces of all the sisters and mothers.

She smiled and waved upwards, reached out to catch a flower thrown from the air, put it on her hat, and then smiled brightly upwards.

At this time, it was the time when the teahouse made the most money. Naturally, there were not only Mrs. Chen and the others in the teahouse, but there were also female relatives in other boxes.Probably the female relatives next to him saw Du Jinning's smile and couldn't help screaming happily, flowers and handkerchiefs fell like raindrops.

Du Jinning avoided it with a wry smile, cupped his hands upwards, and rode away quickly to avoid being overwhelmed by hairpin flowers and various small things.

Seeing Du Jinning and his party walking away, Mrs. Chen went back to the box and sat down.

There are people everywhere at the moment, they plan to drink tea and have some snacks here before leaving, so as not to cause any trouble.

But as soon as he sat down, a servant girl came in and said to Mrs. Chen: "Ma'am, the next door is the wife of Mr. Shen Langzhong, the Ministry of Officials Examination and Purification Department. She sent her mother-in-law over and said she wanted to see you."

Chen was surprised.She doesn't know this person.

Mrs. Fang smiled and said, "I must know that you are Du Zhuangyuan's mother, so I came to congratulate you."

Only then did Chen understand, and said to the servant girl, "Please come in."

After a while, a woman came in, saluted and said: "My wife wants to visit some wives, but I don't know if it's convenient for Mrs. Du."

"Please hurry up." Naturally, Mrs. Chen would not refuse.

After a while, a woman in her 40s and [-]s wearing brocade came in, followed by three young girls.

In the past few years, Mrs. Chen has also consciously trained herself, and she has become more and more decent in her dealings with people.She chatted with Mrs. Shen, and then introduced Mrs. Fang, Mrs. Xie and her three daughters.

To avoid suspicion, Lu Xiaobei was naturally not here.

Mrs. Shen also introduced the young girl behind her: "This is my eldest daughter Yu'e, my second daughter Yu Rong, and my youngest daughter Yu Jiao."

Everyone greeted each other and sat down as the guest of honor.

Mrs. Chen also asked Xiao Er to take away the spoiled dim sum and tea, and put in new ones.

After chatting for a while, Mrs. Shen was sure that Mrs. Chen was really Du Jinning's mother, so she intentionally or unintentionally praised her eldest daughter, saying how sensible and capable she was.The praise made Shen Yu'e bow her head shyly.

Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Xie looked at each other, and they both pursed their lips and laughed.

Of the three daughters of the Shen family, one is fifteen or sixteen years old, one is thirteen or fourteen years old, and the other is about ten years old.The reason why Mrs. Shen praised Du Jinning couldn't be clearer, she wanted to marry Mrs. Chen and give her eldest daughter to Du Jinning.

When she found out that they were the mothers of Fang Shaohua and Xu Chengyuan, Xin Ke Scholars, Mrs. Shen was very affectionate to them.Later, when Mrs. Chen introduced them, she said that they were both the mother-in-law of her own daughter, and that the two new scholars were her sons-in-law. Mrs. Shen praised Mrs. Chen for being so lucky, so she stopped talking to them and just put them aside. .

This distinction is too obvious.

Mrs. Chen is a transparent person, so she naturally understood Mrs. Shen's reason for coming, so she found something to say: "I don't care if my brother Ning is successful in the officialdom. Mrs. Shen hit it off right away. When my brother Ning gets married tomorrow, I would like to invite Mrs. Shen to have a cup of wedding wine."

Mrs. Shen raised her eyebrows, and asked: "I think your Brother Ning is not very young, and he hasn't been engaged yet, right? It's too early to talk about drinking wedding wine."

Mrs. Chen waved her hand: "Although I am not very young, am I in a hurry to have a grandson? I have already appointed him a niece from my natal family, and I am waiting for Jin Ning to get married right away after he becomes a Jinshi."

Mrs. Shen subconsciously glanced at Shen Yu'e.

Shen Yu'e's disappointment was beyond words.She lowered her head and twisted the handkerchief in her hand into dried plum vegetables, obviously very unhappy.

"Oh, really?" Mrs. Shen laughed dryly twice, and lost interest in talking further.After a few perfunctory sentences, he said that there was still something to do at home, so he led his daughter away.

Worried that the walls have ears, and it is not good for everyone to discuss Mrs. Shen's coming, I asked the maid to look out the window, and found that there were many fewer people, so everyone went downstairs and left in a carriage.

Mrs. Xie is a warm-hearted person, and she is especially grateful for Du Jinning's help to Xu Chengyuan these years.She also met Chen Li.

Seeing Du Jinning in high spirits today, and after Mrs. Shen's intention to recruit Du Jinning as her son-in-law, she knew that Chen Li was Chen's niece, and she shouldn't say anything about this marriage, so she finally couldn't help but said to Du Fangfei: "What on earth is your mother thinking? Your younger brother is such an excellent person, why did he order Sister Li for him? I didn't say that although Sister Li is good, she is not very worthy of your brother. If your mother For your brother's sake, you shouldn't have arranged such a marriage for him."

As one of the insiders, Du Fangfei naturally knew why the Chen family recruited Chen Li to be Du Jinning's fiancée.

She smiled: "My mother thinks it's good, and my brother is also willing. It's useless for me to persuade, so let's just leave it as it is."

Xie was dumbfounded.

Indeed, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. What does she, an outsider, say?Nothing but offend people.

When Mrs. Chen returned home, she told Du Jinning about it, but Du Jinning didn't care.

There are many people who remember her marriage, but she has a fiancée, even a princess, so what else can these people do?

The day after tomorrow is the imperial examination, and when she came back from the parade, she was busy helping Xu Chengyuan and the others come up with ideas to change the article.On the other side, Zhuang Yue also came to her door because the next book was about to be published, and she still had to think about how to write the next book.

But she didn't expect this Mrs. Shen to be so persistent. Just after breakfast the next day, she received a post from the concierge, asking her to drink tea in the teahouse at noon from Mr. Shen, the official department's examination and clean-up department.
