Although Liu Ye's post invited Tian Minyan's family to the banquet, Tian Minyan knew that the head of the Liu family was not in Taiping Town at this time, so Liu Ye and the old lady brought Liu Ruyu to live here.

Without a male host, it would be inconvenient for Tian Huairen to go, and because of the heavy rain recently, the field had to be drained, so he asked Luo Shi to take a few children to play.

"Ninny, can I do this?" Luo Shi asked Tian Minyan again, rubbing his hair on the temples.

"Mother, it's very good if you're like this, you don't show off or stand out, very good." Tian Minyan said with a smile.

She wasn't trying to comfort Luo Shi, but she was telling the truth, because she was going to be a guest at Liu's house, so Luo Shi put on one of her favorite clothes, a rose red skirt embroidered with plum blossoms, and ginger yellow wide-sleeved lily ruyi clouds. She wore a patterned cardigan, her hair was tied into a short bun, and the plum blossom hairpin that was almost pawned was inserted, and a pair of pearl pendants were also worn on her ears. Coupled with her face that became more kind and round because of her pregnancy, she looked very beautiful. It is kind and simple.

Not only Luo Shi, but their brothers and sisters also dressed up specially. Tian Minyan wore a pink dress, and the two buns on her head were tied with two ribbons of the same color. In addition, she was already thin and thin. She is still thin, her skin is whiter, and her features are clear and beautiful.Tian Minrui, on the other hand, wore a royal blue gown with a dark red belt around his waist, making him look slender.Xiao Wu is the fattest of the brothers and sisters. He has a fat baby face and a round body, but he is very healthy. He is wearing a Tsing Yi, with his buttocks tied, very cute.

When they arrived at the west corner gate of Liu's house, Madam Zheng had been waiting there for a long time, her eyes lit up when she saw several people, and she welcomed them in.

Although it was a small banquet, Liu Ye did not invite many people, only invited three or two families who were close to each other, and now they are all sitting and talking in the old lady's room.

Mrs. Liu, Tian Minyan also met for the first time. I heard that she believes in Buddhism. She often eats vegetarian food and chant scriptures in the Buddhist hall, and rarely goes out to meet people. Today, she came out because she wanted to taste the food made by her grandson.

Followed Madam Zheng to the courtyard called Shou'an Hall where Mrs. Liu lived. There were a few women dressed in silk and satin, and two or three girls, big or small. When they saw Tian Minyan and the others coming, they both I looked over curiously.

"Oh, as soon as I said Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here. Minyan is looking forward to you, come here quickly." Mrs. Liu Ye sat on the lower right seat at the top, and when she saw a few people, she hurried up to greet her: "See you soon Pass our old lady."

She took Tian Minyan's hand affectionately, and was wearing a purple-red long-shou pattern jacket and a hundred skirts. The gray-haired old lady smiled and said: "Old lady, this is the Tian family girl I told you about. The one next to her is her brother, and this is her mother Tian Luoshi."

"Tian Minyan pays respects to the old lady. I wish the old lady a happy life and a healthy life, and always smile." Tian Minyan did not dare to look directly at her, so she just bowed down, and Tian Minrui and Xiao Wu followed suit in a dignified way.

Luo Shi was a little embarrassed, peeping at his daughter, he also followed Fu down.

"Get up quickly, there is no need to be polite. From the Zheng family, please help Mrs. Tian up. This healthy person needs to be careful." Seeing Luo Shi's protruding belly, Mrs. Liu hurriedly called out. road.

Nanny Zheng agreed, helped Luo Shi up, and moved him to a chair beside him.

Liu Ruyu had been standing beside Mrs. Liu, and was very happy to see Tian Minyan who was dressed up, and whispered a few words in her ear.

"Is this the girl of the Tian family? Come here and let me have a look. I heard that you made those preserved eggs." Mrs. Liu smiled and waved.

Tian Minyan glanced at Liu Yeshi, saw her smiling and nodding, and stepped forward generously.

Mrs. Liu saw that the corners of her lips were slightly pursed, with a slight smile, her eyes were clear and bright, and her actions were graceful and decent, not as shy and superficial as those poor families, so she nodded secretly.

"What a wonderful person, how old is he today? It sounds like he is older than our Ruyu." Mrs. Liu asked with a smile while holding Tian Minyan's hand.

Tian Minyan answered with a smile, and didn't say much about the others, God knows how many mistakes he said, this is the first time seeing this elder of the Liu family, so don't leave a bad impression on others.

Mrs. Liu asked a few more questions with a smile, and then called Tian Minrui Xiao Wu and the others to come forward. They also asked the same question about how old they are and what books they have read. So kind, it's really like the Bodhisattva lady in the painting, as if she was so happy with Mrs. Liu, she hugged him and smiled, seeing her teeth but not her eyes.

I have to say that Xiao Wu is destined for this old lady. You know, no one doesn't like to listen to sweet words, especially old people, let alone Mrs. Liu herself believes in Buddhism. Praising her like a Bodhisattva means praising her for being kind. And, where are you not happy?

So, Mrs. Liu hurriedly asked the mothers around her to bring out the meeting gift, personally gave it to Xiao Wu and the others, and let Liu Ruyu and the boys go down to play.

After they left, Mrs. Liu said to Luo Shi with a smile: "Mrs. Tian, ​​you are a lucky one. I see your children are very good, and there is another one in your stomach. You are also a blessed man with many children." Human."

Luo Shi stood up from his seat a little shyly, and said softly: "Old madam, you are flattering yourself, they are just monkeys, and cannot be on the big stage."

"Monkeys are good, they are smart and easy to feed." Mrs. Liu said with a chuckle.

"The children of the farmer's family are raised extensively, and they eat coarse grains and rice bran. They run around in the wild, but they are strong." Sitting diagonally across from Luo Shi, a woman about 30 years old smiled and said: "Instead We children are afraid that he will bump into him, baby, but none of those children can run away, and we often have a cold and a fever."

"Mrs. Yuan, what's the same? Children in the countryside go up to the mountains and go down to the fields to catch fish, why don't they do anything? People like us don't need the children to do those jobs, just read and read, and the girls embroider flowers. You don’t go out of the second door.” Another woman said with some disdain: “There are not many children, so naturally they are more expensive.”

Tian Minyan looked over, the woman was dressed gorgeously, with several golden hairpins on her head, which made people's eyes hurt, and beside her stood two girls, the older one was about twelve years old in a peach red dress. The three-year-old girl had a haughty face, and the younger one was about six or seven years old, with a baby-fat face and rolling eyes, not knowing what to pay attention to.

According to Liu Ye's introduction, this is another big family in the town, surnamed Zhao. I heard that my husband has just been promoted to the seventh-rank official and has been transferred to Liuzhou as the magistrate.

And the woman who just started talking, her husband's surname is Yuan, who is the chief secretary of the Beijing government. This Mrs. Yuan brought her two children to Taiping Town to escape the summer heat. Because of her friendship with the Liuye family, she also came today.The 12-year-old girl next to her should be her daughter. She is already a beauty embryo at a young age, with a beautiful face, but her temperament seems a bit cold.

"Miss Tian, ​​you are more than four months old, right? I often hear that farmers are working in the field even on the day they are about to give birth. Are you also working in the field now? Hey, the peasant woman's body is Sturdy, if we, ouch, we wouldn’t dare to serve a basin of water.” Mrs. Zhao held a handkerchief and smiled lightly, her eyes full of contempt.

Tian Minyan's eyelids drooped slightly, and the expression on his face made it impossible to see any joy or anger.As for Luo Shi, he is sincere. People in the country don't know how to beat around the bush. She couldn't hear Mrs. Zhao's secret contempt. A few long-term workers and a maid, I just do some light housework."

Mrs. Zhao intended to humiliate her, but when she heard her say that, her expression froze, and she couldn't help being a little embarrassed. She was so choked that she couldn't speak for a long time, and the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

"Look at me, the adults are talking, these girls can only accompany, I don't know if you are bored, it is also my fault. You girls are all about the same age, go for a walk in the garden and talk Go ahead. Huan'er, bring a little maid to serve the ladies carefully." Liu Ye suddenly broke the silence, and cast a sideways glance at Mrs. Zhao, thinking that she really couldn't get on the big stage.

Tian Minyan was unwilling in every possible way, these ladies who were raised in deep boudoirs were all conceited and high-spirited, and they spoke in a polite manner, which was not fun at all.But she also knew that to expand her horizons, she had to contact more people and join more circles, so she agreed.

She also visited the garden of Liu's family, but she didn't go all the way. She followed the maidservant, walking boredly. In front, Mrs. Zhao's two daughters were playing around, and the younger one kept pestering the older one, which was a bit noisy.

Tian Minyan couldn't talk to them, and she didn't want to, because that arrogant one was like a peacock, acting like you're a plague, don't come near me.

When they came to a gazebo, they were about to rest. The eldest daughter of the Zhao family, named Zhao Yuemei, snorted when she saw Tian Minyan coming in, and said to Huan'er with a haughty face: "Madam Liu really has a lot of friends. I recognize it, and I'm not afraid of lowering my status. Is there another pavilion? Take me there, I don't want to be with some vulgar country girls."

Huan'er never dared to be disrespectful to Tian Minyan ever since she was taught by Liu Ye's family, and now she also took a sneak peek at her, seeing that her expression was calm, showing no signs of happiness or anger, she was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Yuemei reminded her twice, Huaner passed by and there was another pavilion, Zhao Yuemei left immediately, before she left, she did not forget to pull Yuan Jing: "Miss Yuan, do you want to go too?"

Yuan Jing glanced at her coldly and said, "I like this scenery." It means that she refuses.

Zhao Yuemei snorted, glared at Tian Minyan, and dragged her sister away.

The corner of Tian Minyan's mouth twitched lightly, really childish.

"Aren't you angry?"

Tian Minyan was leaning against the pillars of the pavilion, staring at the clump of crabapples under the pavilion in a daze, when she heard this question suddenly, she couldn't help turning her head away.

"what?"

"Aren't you angry when she said that to you? And her mother, didn't you understand how she humiliated you just now?" Yuan Jing sat on the edge of the table, looked at her indifferently and asked.

"I understand." Tian Minyan smiled slightly, raised her eyebrows and asked back: "But why should I be angry?"

Yuan Jing was taken aback, anyone would be angry at this, such contempt and humiliation.

"She's telling the truth, and there's nothing wrong with it, and I don't think it's a shame, why should I be angry?" Tian Minyan twitched her lips and said, "Besides, the mouth grows on other people, why should I let it be?" Others come to control my mood and happiness?"

Yuan Jing watched her silently for a long time. It was almost noon at this time, and the sun slanted in from outside the pavilion, covering her whole body. It was impossible to see her expression clearly, but it made people feel that she was at ease for no reason.

"My name is Yuan Jing, what's your name?" She asked suddenly.

"Tian Minyan."

"I heard that your family bought a [-]-acre wasteland. Does it mean that there is no end in sight, and can you grow food? Isn't the countryside fun? Come talk to me." Yuan Jing pursed her lips and walked to She looked beside her and asked.

Tian Minyan raised her eyebrows, and she would never refuse to show kindness to others, unless the person she didn't like, and what she said was interesting to her, so she chatted with her.

At noon, a servant girl came to invite lunch, because they were all women and children, and there were no separate tables. There was only a big round table that could seat ten people, and it was very lively.Among them, the one who talked the most was Mrs. Zhao, who tasted the preserved egg made by Liu Ruyu herself, and tried her best to praise it, but she almost didn't praise it to the sky.

"Mr. Ruyu was born in a great family. He is handsome. He is good at writing and reading. He can cook and eat. I don't know which family will get such a good son-in-law in the future?" Mrs. Zhao looked at Liu Ruyu with a smile, There was light in his eyes, like a wolf looking at a sheep.

Tian Minyan felt chills for a while, she just thought Mrs. Zhao was a wolf grandma who came to abduct Mrs. Xiaozheng.

"Don't praise him, the child can't bear to be praised, how can he be so good." The old lady Liu looked at her precious grandson sitting on her right hand lovingly, and smiled happily.

"I'm telling the truth. Mrs. Liu will choose a daughter-in-law in the future. Don't forget that our Zhao family also has two daughters." Mrs. Zhao laughed, and the two daughters beside her gave Liu Ruyu a shy look.

Tian Minyan hardly spit out a mouthful of hot porridge, which is too obvious.

"Miss Zhao is a dragon and a phoenix among people. In the future, she will be an imperial concubine. How can we, ordinary people, be able to climb up to it?" Liu Yeshi smiled slightly, and changed the subject lightly: "Stop talking, How about a taste of this preserved egg? Although the ones on the table today are pickled by Yu'er herself, but the preserved egg is made by Tian's girl, and it will be sold in Taiping Town tomorrow."

Mrs. Zhao was very embarrassed to see her change the subject, and heard that the unseen preserved egg was made by the Tian family, she couldn't help being startled, and her face looked like she was eating shit.

Seeing this, Tian Minyan covered her eyes, lowered her head and took a sip of porridge, covering the corners of her mouth from rising.

As for Mrs. Yuan, she looked at Tian Minyan and the others very curiously. Although they came from a peasant family, they were gentle and polite, which was better than this Mrs. Zhao, so she nodded secretly.

The author said: Some dear ones miss the best ones, don’t worry, the best ones will come back, but they have to wait a little longer, at least Sanfang earned a fortune and made them jealous, right?
