Delicate Flower

Yu Tang listened intently to Ma Xiuniang's words, and someone came over to say hello to the Chen family: "You are a rare visitor! I thought you wouldn't go out on such a hot day, but I didn't expect you would come to worship the old lady."

Both the Chen family and Ma Xiucai stood up and greeted the visitors politely: "Mrs. Tang, you also come to worship the old man!"

Yu Tang looked up and saw a woman's face full of shrewd calculations.

Her eyes were cold.

The wife of Tang Xiucai's house in this city.

That is, in the previous life, she was entrusted by the Li family and told her in private that if she agreed to the marriage of the Li family, the Li family would be willing to lend five thousand taels of silver to the Yu family.

In the previous life, she treated Mrs. Tang as a benefactor, and felt that she was enthusiastic.

Later, she learned more and more, and then she felt that this Mrs. Tang could get past her aunt and persuade her a little girl to privately agree to the marriage of the Li family. It was obvious that she was ill-intentioned and concealed evil intentions.

Mrs. Tang, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Matthew returned their salutes, took out the veil and wiped the tears that did not exist at the corner of their eyes, and said with a bit of sadness in their expressions: "No! The old lady is gone, but we are the one in Lin'an. A big event! The wife of the prefect family is here too. No, I have been with her to rest in the small courtyard over there, without noticing that you are also here."

Chen and Mrs. Ma didn't want to deal with this Mrs. Tang very much. It was because Mrs. Tang liked socializing and socializing very much, not to mention the high-profile, and also liked to brag and show off.

Because Tang Zhifu had the same surname as Tang Xiucai, she somehow forced Tang Zhifu, who was two years younger than Tang Xiucai, to become Tang Xiucai's uncle of the same clan. She even flattered Madam Tang all day, so enthusiastic that Madam Tang could not bear it sometimes.

Hearing that she was showing off here again, the Chen family and Mrs. Matthew, who did not like her dryly, said a few words to her, ready to send them away.

Who knows that on weekdays I saw Mrs. Tang and there was no other Mrs. Tang in his eyes. Today, she seemed to have taken the wrong medicine. Not only did she not leave, she also looked at Yu Tang and Ma Xiuniang with a smile, and said, "I haven’t seen you in just a few days. , The little lady of the Yu family and the little lady of the Ma family have both grown into big girls. They are beautiful and docile. If they ran into each other on the street, I would definitely not recognize them."

Chen and Mrs. Ma had to ask their daughter to bow to Mrs. Tang, and they were humble.

Mrs. Tang seemed to be unable to see the perfunctory performance of Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Ma, and said affectionately: "How else can I tell Mrs. Tang that this talented lady in the city is the most virtuous and virtuous of you two, so beautiful at home. Little girls don’t just let people take a look. If I had such a long-faced girl, I would have taken it everywhere with me."

The two didn't want to talk to her more, they just responded.

I don't know if Yu Tang thinks too much, she always feels that Mrs. Tang seems to be looking at her and Ma Xiuniang on the face, but actually pays more attention to her.

She quietly hid behind her mother.

Mrs. Tang already smiled and took the hand of Ma Xiuniang who was sitting next to her, and asked Mrs. Ma, "I remember your little lady was born in March last year. Have you made a marriage appointment? We have such an outstanding little lady, but You can't just betrothed to someone else."

Ma Xiuniang lowered her head in shame.

Mrs. Matthew frowned.

In the public, it is very rude for Mrs. Tang to speak so bluntly about Ma Xiuniang's marriage in front of Ma Xiuniang.

Mrs. Ma displeased: "Mrs. Tang remembered it wrong. In March, it was the young lady of the Yu family, and our daughter, May and Qi."

"Oh! Look at my memory!" Mrs. Tang smiled, looked at the mother and daughter of the Chen family, and said, "Did the young lady of the Yu family talk about the marriage? Would you like me to help and care. Guess, who I just met? Yes? Mrs. Pei’s maiden’s sister-in-law, Mrs. Yang. Mrs. Yang is not here alone this time, with her maiden nephew! And I heard that Mrs. Yang’s husband-in-law is in charge of the general affairs. It's so serious! The third grade is serious. How else would Mrs. Tang stay with me all the time!"

What do you mean by saying this?

Who is Mrs. Yang bringing over and why does Yu Tang do with them?

Want to use the Yang family's power to suspend their Yu family's appetite?

Chen was slightly stunned, and said stiffly: "Then we won't delay Mrs. Tang's socializing. Our girl keeps the one who is ready to hire a son-in-law."

Mrs. Tang was stunned.

Chen's thin body stopped in front of her daughter, and did not move.

Mrs. Tang grinned reluctantly, and said, "Then I won't bother. Go over there to accompany Mrs. Yang first. Then I will visit your house when I'm free."

"Don't give it away!" Chen said indifferently.

Mrs. Tang walked away a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Ma took a long sigh and made no secret of her dislike for Mrs. Tang, and said, "Fortunately, she has left. I can't help it any more." After speaking, he greeted Yu Tang and Ma Xiuniang to sit down. He sternly said to them, "Little girl, if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you should ignore it and avoid it, you know?"

Ma Xiuniang yelled aggrievedly, "It's not that I want to hear..."

"The adults are talking and the children are listening." Mrs. Matthew interrupted her before she finished speaking, then ignored her daughter, turned around and talked to Chen, "What do you think of Mrs. Tang? Mrs. Tang. Whether it’s Mrs. Yang, no matter how good other people’s houses are, they’re also other people’s houses. She climbed on the pole like this, and she didn’t see what she had done!"

benefit? !

Yu Tang was taken aback.

Chen responded and talked to Mrs. Ma about Mrs. Tang in a low voice. Ma Xiuniang also pulled Yu Tang and whispered: "I'm telling you that someone has come to our house to propose marriage to me. But there is no mother in that house, and there are many more underneath. A younger sibling, my mother was still hesitating, so she didn’t disclose the news to the outside world."

Negotiation?

Was it this time that the marriage negotiation started?

Is it the child of the surname Zhang in the previous life?

Yu Tang was attracted by Ma Xiuniang's words, and didn't mind thinking about Mrs. Tang's words, and curiously asked the person who went to Ma Xiu's family to propose a marriage.

Ma Xiu-niang replied in a shy manner and couldn't help showing off. "It's the brother Zhang who studied with my father. She is a very good person and has an honest duty. She never goes out to drink and have fun with those people. She is also diligent in reading. My father said, he did not Can take the exam for a talent. If this marriage is settled, I am afraid that I will be married soon."

Yu Tang felt a little guilty as he listened.

In her previous life, Ma Xiuniang cared about her very much. She was immersed in the sadness of losing her parents and did not pay much attention to Ma Xiuniang. I don't know when Ma Xiuniang and Zhang Tong were born or when she was out of the pavilion. If it weren't for the silver bracelet weighing five taels, she would have no impression of Ma Xiuniang.

She treated Ma Xiuniang and Ma Xiuniang did not treat her purely and caring.

"Then you have to be good!" Yu Tang didn't know whether she was doing well after marrying, so she could only send this blandish blessing.

Ma Xiuniang nodded vigorously, as if Yu Tang's blessings were enough for her.

Yu Tang squeezed Ma Xiuniang's hand.

Food began to be served in the hall.

Yu Tang remembered her mother-in-law Lin in her previous life.

Her former father-in-law, Li Yi, was serving as the prefect in Rizhao, Shandong. The Lin family often claimed that he was a family of officials and officials, and ordinary people would not take it seriously. In her eyes, those talented ladies were even more "not washed with mud legs." Clean and poor", she usually has nostrils upside down when she meets her, pretending to not see her. This is why even though they are all from the village, Yu Tang is not afraid to touch her.

Looking at the entire Lin'an Mansion, there are really few Mrs. Jinshi.

Therefore, Mrs. Tang and Lin often come and go, and the relationship is pretty good.

Since Madam Yang is here, Madam Tang will accompany her, so Lin must be among them.

Mrs. Tang ran over to greet them inexplicably, would she not meet Lin's inexplicably, would she?

Yu Tang lowered his head to eat, and decided to avoid the ladies of the noble family-she was not afraid of Lin, she was afraid that she couldn't help pouring tea on her face, but she didn't have a reasonable explanation to embarrass her mother.

Sometimes, the less you don’t want to happen, the more things will happen.

Yu Tang had a meal in Pei’s house steadily. Seeing the sun getting hotter and hotter, everyone was feeling sleepy. Chen and Mrs. Ma took their daughters to go back to the house. After leaving the hall, they met each other head-on. It's Mrs. Tang and Yu Tang's former mother-in-law Lin.

Lin still bored Yu Tang as he did in his previous life. The jet-black green silk rolled up a round bun meticulously, wore two white velvet camellias, a moon-white hang silk blouse, a black horse-faced skirt, a stern face, a serious look, and a bit of arrogance.

From a distance, Yu Tang felt her eyes fall on her. When Mrs. Tang didn't know what Fuer had said to her, she looked more attentively at Yu Tang.

What does it mean?

Yu Tang knows that she is good-looking and that she is often seen because of her good looks, but she is not so arrogant yet. She feels that Lin's acrimony will pay attention to her because she is good-looking, and even pay attention to her.

Something faintly flashed in her heart, trying to catch it, but disappeared suddenly.

"Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Ma!" Mrs. Tang walked over with a loud smile, and said, "This is really predestined." Then, she introduced the Lin family around her to the Chen family and Madam, "This is the Li Mansion in the south of the city." Mrs. Li is the wife of Master Li who was the prefect of Rizhao in the same year as the second master."

Chen and Mrs. Ma had to stop and greet them.

Lin glanced at Yu Tang again.

Yu Tang was sure that his intuition had not gone wrong.

Whether Mrs. Tang or Lin's, they are all directed at her.

But what is she worthy of their attention?

Li Jun hadn't seen her yet!

Lin elegantly met Chen and Mrs. Ma, and talked to Chen and Mrs. Ma kindly and tenderly: "I have heard of the two sage names a long time ago. It is a coincidence that I have never had the opportunity to meet. Today, it is destined. Can be met here."

Chen's and Mrs. Ma even said they didn't dare.

Lin's eyes always looked at Yu Tang intentionally or unintentionally.

Yu Tang sneered in her heart and let her watch.

Although her skin is very white, smooth and delicate without any blemishes, but her cheeks are like a child, with a little fat all the time, and her body is also round and jade, although it is exquisite but also plump, unlike many of today's ladies, she stretched out her hand. Thin enough to see the bones. For this reason, Lin did not dislike her for being fat, saying that she only had her skin color to see.

In her previous life, she had a low self-esteem for a while, and she dared not eat more.

It wasn't until her older sister-in-law, Li Duan's wife, Gu clan, that she was envious of her appearance, that she was surprised that Lin was completely picking bones in the egg, and felt that she had killed Li Jun and hated her.
