Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 74 Jingtinghou Mansion
Thinking that she would have nothing to do tomorrow, Tang Bingxuan sent a greeting note to the eldest cousin of the Shao family, the eldest granddaughter-in-law of Jingtinghou Mansion, and wanted to visit her tomorrow.

Shao, the eldest grandma of the Chen family, was a little confused when she saw Tang Bingxuan's invitation. She was a few years older than her cousin, and she didn't have much close contact before she left the court. She didn't know why she came to visit her during the first month of the year.

The eldest grandma of the Chen family, Shao's housekeeper mother, has taken care of her since she was a child. She is considered an old person of the Shao family in the Pingjin Marquis Mansion. Although she is not familiar with Mrs. Tang, she still knows Xiao Shao, Tang San's wife.

When Mrs. Tang San returned to her parents' home, she often praised her eldest niece for being smart, understanding and polite. It was probably not a bad thing for Miss Tang to come visit Shao, the eldest grandma of the Chen family. She guessed that she had something to ask of her daughter.

The next day Tang Bingxuan packed up and took Zhichun and Zhixia to the Marquis Jingting Mansion in a carriage.

Since the last time the Great Buddha Temple was in danger, Tang Bingxuan likes to take Zhixia with her whenever she goes out.

Arriving in front of the Jingtinghou Mansion, the Chen family's eldest grandmother, Shao's housekeeper mother, was already waiting at the side door, enthusiastically leading Tang Bingxuan into the second gate of the Jingtinghou Mansion.

Shao, the eldest grandma of the Chen family, heard from her servants that Tang Bingxuan had entered the side door of Jingtinghou Mansion, so she hurried to the second door to receive her cousin.

"Cousin, you're too polite. There's no need to be so arrogant."

After Tang Bingxuan met the eldest grandma of the Chen family, she knelt down and saluted, then cordially took her arm and wished her New Year's greetings, and then the two of them went to the yard of the eldest grandma of the Chen family.

When Shao, the eldest grandma of the Chen family, saw that her cousin from the Tang family was warm and close to her, she obviously wanted to show her face in the Marquis Jingting Mansion, and she sincerely welcomed her as a guest in the house.

When the two arrived at Grandma Chen's Shao family's courtyard, they exchanged greetings with each other and chatted about the current situation of Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Tang San. Tang Bingxuan casually said: "Cousin, why don't you see the lady of your house?"

The eldest grandmother of the Chen family, Shao, previously thought that Tang Bingxuan came to visit her because she had something to ask for, so she did not arrange for the two sisters-in-law to receive this charming guest.

Now that Tang Bingxuan mentioned the two sisters-in-law, Shao, the eldest grandmother of the Chen family, invited the two sisters-in-law to come to her yard to entertain guests together.

Tang Bingxuan tried her best to tactfully and implicitly handle the matter of meeting Miss Chen's family, and complained in her voice: "Cousin, your Jingtinghou Mansion is usually too low-key. I heard that the two young ladies in the mansion are about the same age as me. I But we have never met before. Our two families are relatives. If we meet one day and still don't know each other, wouldn't it be a joke? "

Shao, the eldest grandma of the Chen family, heard the message and understood the meaning. It turned out that the real purpose of her cousin coming to the house was to meet her sister-in-law.

So Shao, the eldest grandma of the Chen family, smiled and said to Tang Bingxuan, "My cousin is right."

Since I am here to meet my sister-in-law, is it because of the marriage of Prince Rongguo? If so, it would be more appropriate for the Duke's wife, Mrs. Liu, to come to the mansion to meet people.

However, the Tang family's cousin didn't say anything about it, so he just pretended that he didn't know about it. As long as he was watching, he wouldn't go out of his way.

When Shao, the eldest grandma of the Chen family, heard that her cousin would marry into the Yongning Marquis Mansion next month, she jokingly said to Tang Bingxuan, "When the time comes, my cousin will personally go to the Rongguo Mansion to add makeup to her cousin."

Tang Bingxuan was not shy about the Chen family's eldest grandma, Shao Shi, jokingly said: "Then I will wait at home for my cousin to come to the house to add makeup and give me generous gifts."

Grandma Chen Shao joked that Tang Bingxuan was not yet married, but she was even thicker-skinned than she, a married woman, had learned to be shameless. The two chatted for a while, and both had a good impression of each other. It didn't take long for them to become familiar with each other, and they didn't get angry even if they made harmless jokes.

In less than two-quarters of an hour, the two young ladies of the Chen family entered the house of Grandma Chen Shao. Grandma Chen Shao introduced the three of them to each other.

Tang Bingxuan saw that the Chen sisters were good-looking, and the eldest daughter Chen Xiaoyue's appearance was very similar to the portrait Tang Wensong gave her, but they were not the same person.

"The two sisters are so good-looking. No wonder the family wants to hide the two sisters." Tang Bingxuan joked.

The two Chen girls blushed shyly after hearing Tang Bingxuan's words. Chen Xiaoyue was the legitimate daughter of Marquis Jingting and was loved by the elders in the family. She was shy and boldly replied to Tang Bingxuan, "Sister Tang is prettier. "

Tang Bingxuan has attended many banquets and other occasions, and her face is indeed thicker than that of ordinary women in the boudoir. She naturally said: "Sister Xiaoyue is the most discerning!"

Grandma Chen Shao saw that her sister-in-law was more reserved, so she jokingly said to Tang Bingxuan: "My two sisters are thin-skinned, and they are not the smooth-talking jokers you are."

The four of them were not much different in age. After a few jokes, it didn't take long for them to become familiar with each other.

Tang Bingxuan asked casually: "Have you ever thought about going to Zuixianju to listen to music?"

As soon as the three of them heard about Zuixianju, they quickly waved their hands at Tang Bingxuan and bluntly said that their daughter's family could not go to that place.

Tang Bingxuan looked at the three of them slyly and said innocently: "I know where that place is, but I'm just curious to go there and listen to Kyoto's famous ditties."

Then he held his chin in despair and sighed, looking helpless, "But I have a thief's heart but not a thief's courage!"

The three aunts and sisters couldn't help but laugh when they saw Tang Bingxuan like this. The second Miss Chen, Chen Xiaoqing, carefully covered her mouth with a handkerchief, but the remaining two aunts and sisters burst out laughing, not at all like ladies like other ladies. Toothy reserve.

The four of them chatted happily. Grandma Chen Shao left Tang Bingxuan to have a meal in the house. Tang Bingxuan did not refuse and took the opportunity to stay and have lunch with the three of them. During the dinner, several people talked about the fruit wine they usually drank. This Tang Bingxuan Is the one who has the most say.

Tang Bingxuan promised to bring each of the three a bottle of fruit wine that she had secretly saved in Zhidong next time. She also said that when the fruit is ripe this year, there will be more types of wine, and she will bring it to the house for several people. Have a taste of them all.

In addition to her family members, Tang Bingxuan's best friend is Pingyu. This time she came to Jingtinghou Mansion and met her eldest cousin and two girls from the Chen family. They got in touch with each other very well. Although she didn't find her eldest brother's sweetheart, she still felt that she was not a good friend. This trip is a waste.

Tang Bingxuan also didn't expect that her eldest brother would make such a mistake! What would the eldest brother do if he went directly to propose marriage to Miss Chen and found out in the end that she was not his sweetheart?
But since the woman in the portrait is very similar to Chen Xiaoyue, the eldest daughter of the Chen family, and even successfully entered the Marquis Jingting Mansion, she should be related to the Chen family.

After Tang Bingxuan returned home, she took a nap without hesitation. When she woke up, she finally realized her conscience and wrote a letter to her eldest brother Tang Wensong, who was causing trouble at home, and sent someone to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing.
