Chapter seventy-ninth tongue-in-cheek
At the right time, Tao brought his children to Xuanziyuan to greet his mother Chen. Everyone in the eldest and second houses had arrived. Zhou was a person who was not provoking trouble for a while and was uncomfortable. He twisted his fat waist and stood up and said, "Third brother and sister, you came so early. You came before the sun sets yet!"
Tao didn't even look at Zhou, and said to Chen's mother, "Old lady, although the flower viewing meeting in Xie's house is not as grand as the spring banquet, Jiuer is also young, but it was Jiuer's first time attending, so I asked a few more questions and delayed some time. I'm late to greet you, please forgive me."
He listened to the sound, not to mention that Tao also took the three words "Send a Spring Banquet so heavily. Shen's mother put down the teacup in her hand and said, "This is the right time to come, it's not too late."
"Mother!" Zhou was surprised that Mother Chen let Tao go, and shouted in dismay. Mother Chen glanced at Zhou. She shouldn't have agreed to this marriage because of mercy.
"Thank you for your tolerance." Tao pursed his lips and smiled slightly.
Chen's mother waved at Chen Danxia and said, "Come here with the ninth girl."
Chen Danxia walked over with a smile, but was held by Chen's mother and pulled her to sit on the couch.
Chen’s mother asked, “Jiu Yatou, will it be fun to enjoy the flowers today?”
"It's fun." Chen Danxia said with a smile.
"What have you played?" Chen's mother asked curiously.
"I played the couplet, played the drums and passed the flowers, and listened to my sisters telling jokes." Chen Danxia's bright eyes flowed, "The Xie family also invited all three young masters who were as famous as Master Xie, to select paintings and poems, and to gather them into a book to publish the book, the title of the book is "Qunfang Ji".
Chen's mother muttered, "This old woman is so old, she still doesn't stop and makes trouble again."
Chen Danqi's focus was different from that of Shen's mother. He sneered: "That boy Xu Lang is ordinary, but he is very knowledgeable about literature and works. Somehow he was selected as one of the four young masters? Just like him, that's the best."
People from the Shen family have always looked down on Xu Lang and belittled Xu Lang because of their humble concubines, but it is too much to tell lies with their eyes open. If Xu Lang's appearance is still ordinary, then the world will be full of ugly monsters.
It is not important to be a man's talent or a woman's appearance. What is important is his talent and knowledge. Xu Lang's talent is not to mention it. In the late autumn season last year, he followed Master Cai to climb Qiushan in the eastern suburbs. He respected his teacher's orders and wrote a novel "Autumn Mountain Fu", which was praised by many scholars. Master Cai even said: "This article describes scenery, lyrics, records, and discusses it. It shows the free and unrestrained charm of literary fu, which is a rare good article."
"Sister, it's fine to say these nonsense words at home, but don't say them outside, so that they can't mistakenly think that we sisters are learning only but not friends, and are lonely and uninformed." Chen Danxia happened to learn the "Study Records" in "The Book of Rites" the day before yesterday. This sentence is very suitable for this sentence here, and she is also arrogant.
Chen Danqi's face changed slightly and she blurted out, "My sister is so anxious to speak for Xu Lang, but she likes him."
Everyone looked at Chen Danqi with incredible eyes. Who would say such frivolous words to a five or six-year-old sister? Tao was immediately annoyed, but she was an elder, so she couldn't just laugh at her niece and turned to find Zhou. "Second sister-in-law, it's a good saying, "Second sister-in-law, it's a good thing to say, "Second sister-in-law, if you are old, you'll stay away from your hometown, stay away from your hometown, stay away from your hometown, and stay away from your hometown. Second sister-in-law, you can have some snacks, don't blame yourself without knowing it." Tao just said that Chen Danqi hated marrying.
Chen Danqi was a dry temper. After hearing this, he was about to get up to argue with Tao, but Chen Danwei held his hand down. Chen Danqi turned his head to look at her, and was stared at by her cold eyes, and he shivered and did not dare to speak.
"Three brothers and sisters, they are just joking, why are you anxious? Could it be that Jiu Yatou is attracted to you? "Zhou covered his mouth and giggled a few times, "The Xu boy is six or seven years older than Jiu Yatou, and he is quite old. If your aunt is a mother-in-law, she will definitely not treat Jiu Yatou badly. It's such a good marriage."
When Chen's mother heard this, she was not good at speaking. She patted the coffee table and said angrily: "Stop it all."
Zhou and Tao fell silent, and the maid who was protruding his head by the screen quickly came in to report that the supper was ready. Chen's mother led her granddaughters to have supper, and the three wives sat beside her serving her. Lin was not in harmony with her, and she sat with her eyes, nose, mouth, mouth and heart; Zhou and Tao were staring at each other.
After the meal, he left the east room. Tao turned around and looked at Zhou with a smile and said, "Second sister-in-law, this afternoon, my nephew came to pay my respects to me, saying that my eldest sister-in-law had a good marriage and wanted to talk to the third girl. Since the second sister-in-law was not in a hurry, I'll just push this matter." After that, Tao took Chen Danxia's little hand and walked out.
Chen Danqi pulled Zhou, who was stunned, and called out, "Mother."
Zhou came back to his senses, looked at his daughter's pretty face, and said, "Don't listen to her. Although Jin's name sounds good, she is a lady, but she is not actually a business woman. What good marriage can she have? Our Shen family is an official family. Your father is not good at it. In the officialdom for so many years, he has only been a sixth-rank official, but an official is an official. I will definitely find a good marriage for my son to be of equal status."
"Mother, what are you saying? You're so shameless." Chen Danfu pulled a veil to cover half of his face and ran away. Chen Danfu looked at his mother and curled her lips and sneered silently. Chen Danwei frowned, and his mother and sister were talking so uncovered. It was really worrying.
The next day, Lin, who had thought he could sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, was so angry that his whole body trembled after Chen's mother's words.
"The big girl is in the twelfth day. What are you planning for her marriage?" Chen's mother killed her granddaughters and kept her three daughters-in-law.
"Yaoer received five or six gift cards yesterday. I looked at the great prince of the Yunyang Marquis Mansion." Lin said with a smile. Yunyang Marquis Mansion is not a top noble in Jindu City, but only a third-rate Duke Marquis Mansion. But after all, it is a Marquis Mansion and has a title inheritance. When Chen Danyao married into it, she was the young lady of the Marquis Mansion. With the current situation of the Shen family, she believed that none of the remaining girls' marriages could surpass Chen Danyao.
Chen's mother nodded slightly, and she also picked up the Yunyang Marquis Mansion. "The marriage of the eldest girl is imminent. Don't stop taking it seriously. These days, I often go out and walk around, not only in the Yunyang Marquis Mansion. Other families will also ask about the family affairs. Let your two sisters-in-law share the responsibility of one or two."
Upon hearing this, Lin was struck by lightning and was about to refuse, but Zhou, who was overjoyed, stepped forward to salute Chen's mother and said, "Mother, daughter-in-law is willing to share the burden with her sister-in-law."
