Chapter 70: Mrs. Xiao Pink
In mid-March, the spring was bright, and everywhere in and around the suburbs of Beijing was green, which made people feel happy just looking at it. Lin Wan took the medicine for nearly half a month, and her complexion improved a lot. She went out to see it for two days with great interest.
Returning to the peach blossom that was about to fail. Immediately afterwards, Zhu Si came to say goodbye and hurried to the border. As for the pusher who poisoned the person behind the scenes, no one said clearly, but people were still staring at what needed to be investigated.
March 18th was the day when Lin Wan got her haircut. The group moved back to Yimeiyuan from Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing two days in advance. Mrs. Liu has been very busy these days, and she has to worry about Mrs. Wang's condition.
A great deal of preparations were made to invite the wives of various families to come and watch the ceremony. The second room of the Wang family, Mrs. Xiao, Wang Shuo's mother, also received the invitations.
It was afternoon when the invitation from the Lin family was delivered to the Wang family. Mrs. Xiao was leaning on the soft couch, with the little girl beating her legs and squinting her eyes to take a nap. After listening to the mother-in-law's report, she opened her eyes after a while and glanced at the mother-in-law.
With the invitation in his hand, he closed his eyes and rested for a long time, then waved the girl away and motioned to the mother-in-law to hand over the invitation.
After briefly browsing the post, Mrs. Xiao yawned and waved away the girls in the room. When everyone left, Mrs. Xiao frowned slightly, threw the invitation in her hand on the table, and stood beside her.
Grandma Ruan, who was sitting there, complained: "I don't know what the old man thinks, but he has to marry the Lin family! I won't tell you my identity. Last year, there were rumors outside that the girl had a bad fate, but the old man and Wu Lang both
Don't take it seriously! Hey, Wulang is a kid with big ideas, and I, the mother, can't say much. Why do you think he just fell in love with that girl? Which girl from the Chen family is not good? "
Nanny Ruan put on a smile and stepped forward to persuade her: "Fifth Master has been smart and full of ideas since he was a child, and the old man taught him step by step. Madam should be happy. As for Fifth Master's marriage, it hasn't been decided yet, so why should Madam be so upset?"
It’s a waste of time. I’m going to go overboard, madam. Don’t be surprised. The fifth master is interested in the sixth girl of the Lin family, and he may not be thinking about madam.”
Mrs. Xiao woke up from her drowsiness, sat forward slightly, and motioned for Nanny Ruan to continue.
"Madam, think about it, what kind of family are we? Let me say something to offend. Our royal family status is here. Only others have squeezed their heads to climb to our family, but there has never been any reason for us to climb up to others." Aunt Ruan
Looking at Mrs. Xiao's face, she paused and then continued to smile, "Our young master doesn't need to look at his wife's status to marry a wife. Doesn't Madam also take a fancy to this? As long as the woman is good and can run the house virtuously,
Just take care of your husband and teach your children."
Mrs. Xiao's brows relaxed a little, and she nodded with a smile. "That's the truth. I don't have to choose the identity of my daughter-in-law. As long as she has a good temperament and can manage the house and educate her children well."
Nanny Ruan smiled quickly and flattered her: "This is Madam's kindness. I'm just kidding. No matter what the Wang family and Fifth Master are like, seeing that you are so sensible, the girls from so many families are vying to be your son."
young married woman."
Mrs. Xiao had a smile on her face. She stood up from the couch, pulled Nanny Ruan and said with a smile: "Nanny still knows about me! Tell me carefully, why is it that Wu Lang is thinking of me when he likes that girl from the Lin family?
?”
Nanny Ruan breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "Madam, think about it, although there are many people who want to get married to our family, we can't figure out the temperament of their girls for a while. The Fifth Master is your own flesh and blood.
.Is there anything I don’t know about your temper? If your daughter-in-law is married back, no matter whether it’s good or bad, my wife is kind and will not care about anything wrong with the younger generation. But the fifth master is filial and will never tolerate his daughter-in-law.
Something is wrong. I heard from the Fifth Master two days ago that the ladies of various families in the capital have always been pampered and pampered by their families since they were little, and they also have bad tempers. The Fifth Master even joked about the girl he had met before.
, there is no one who is not temperamental. The sixth girl of the Lin family lost her father when she was young, but Mrs. Liu San and her daughter-in-law taught her carefully. She was filial to her elders and had a gentle temper. Young ladies from other families outside were willing to be friends with her. The fifth master took the lead.
I inquired carefully and found out that such a girl is just right and knows how to be filial to my wife. Madam, listen, isn’t the fifth master thinking about my wife all the time?"
"Wu Lang has always been filial." Mrs. Xiao sighed with emotion, with a mix of joy and worry on her face, and said hesitantly, "But those rumors outside... Hey, I don't really believe them. I'm just afraid that people outside will believe them, and I still don't believe them after all.
good."
"This is Madam's understanding." Nanny Ruan smiled and added, "The rumors outside are all nonsense. I really can't believe it. Years ago, I went home to see my boy, and by chance I saw the Lin family's carriage heading towards Ci.
I went to Shou Temple. I thought that our family happened to be watching the sixth girl of the Lin family. I served some snacks. Later I passed by Cishou Temple and went to inquire about it. I heard from the monks in the temple that Miss Lin went to see Ji.
Master Wu. Madam also knows that the master has never met people very often, and his temperament is free and easy. If he hadn't caught the eye of the master, he wouldn't have met anyone. I originally thought about coming back to talk to the madam, but I didn't know that he is old.
My memory is also bad. Now that Madam mentioned it, I only remembered that there was such a thing!"
"Mommy is still young!" Mrs. Xiao smiled happily, picked up the invitation card on the table again, read it carefully, and ordered to Aunt Ruan: "Forget it, since I sent the invitation so sincerely, Liu
The third wife is always good at things. Go to the warehouse and have a look. If there is anything you can see, bring it to me later."
Grandma Ruan responded with a smile.
On March 18th, the sun was shining brightly in the Yimei Courtyard of Chong'an Marquis Mansion. Lin Wan got up early in the morning to wash up, picked out a lotus-colored long dress, and put on the pearl earrings sent by Mrs. Wang.
Her face was flushed, and her whole person looked fresh and fresh, just like a hibiscus emerging from water, which made people fall in love with her more and more.
The ladies from each family got off the car one after another at the second gate of Chong'an Marquis Mansion. Lin Wan followed Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Feng to meet with the ladies and girls from each family.
When the Wang family's carriage arrived, Mrs. Liu turned around and pulled her daughter, greeted her with a smile on her lips, gently pushed Lin Wan forward, and opened the curtain for Mrs. Xiao.
"Sister-in-law, please come quickly!" Mrs. Liu greeted Mrs. Xiao warmly with a smile in her eyes.
Mrs. Xiao hurriedly met with Mrs. Liu, and then pulled Lin Wan to take a closer look. She couldn't help but praise a few words. This was the first time she saw Lin Wan, and she saw Lin Wan's dewy appearance and smile.
Yingying's voice was sweet and soft, and her gestures were very respectful and courteous. The knot in my heart relaxed a little. No wonder my son couldn't bear to part with her!
Thinking in his mind, he took off a purple and translucent bracelet on his hand and put it on Lin Wan. He smiled at Mrs. Liu and said, "This is the first time I see this girl. My sister is lucky.
This daughter makes people like her at first sight."
The smile in Ms. Liu's eyes deepened, and she praised Wang Shuo again.
The two ladies were in a very good mood, chatting and laughing all the way into the yard.
After a haircut ceremony, Lin Wan was so tired that her legs became weak. When everyone left, she returned to Liu's house, ran back to her room, fell down on the couch and refused to get up. It was not until lunch was about to be eaten that Qiu was
Zi Hao persuaded her, changed her clothes and went to Liu's house.
Ms. Liu's smile had not stopped since the morning. When she saw Lin Wan coming in, she took her daughter and started joking.
"It seems that your Aunt Xiao really likes you. Before she left, she told me that she wanted a daughter like you!"
Lin Wan was stunned for a moment, then she leaned beside Mrs. Liu and muttered: "I have always liked my aunt! Didn't my eldest and second aunts all say so!"
Mrs. Liu nodded Lin Wan's forehead and said with a smile: "That's because your two aunts couldn't get a daughter, and they are worried about it."
Mrs. Xiao was satisfied after meeting Lin Wan, and happily returned to the Wang family all the way. It happened that her husband Wang Chengren was not out after court, and the couple had lunch together. Mrs. Xiao smiled and mentioned Lin Wan's matter.
"That girl is really a nice girl. She has a gentle temperament and is very good-looking. She is really suitable for Wu Lang. Although there are some rumors outside, there is no trace of her. Master, let's take a look. Why don't I have someone go to Cishou Temple to look for her?
Master Liao Kong has combined the horoscopes for the two children. If they can get along, I can arrange for someone to propose marriage. There were many ladies in the yard today, and they all asked my aunt."
Wang Chengren said "Yeah" lightly, his face was calm, and no other emotions could be seen.
The room was a little deserted for a while. Mrs. Xiao was startled and opened her mouth, but she didn't mention it again. She served Wang Chengren with her own hands, and the couple ate the rice in silence.
After the meal was finished, Wang Chengren put down the bowls and chopsticks, frowned at Mrs. Xiao and said: "There is no need to be so urgent about Wu Lang's marriage. We can wait until the palace has tried it."
Mrs. Xiao responded with a busy smile, got up and sent her husband out. Seeing her husband's back turn towards the hanging flower door, the smile on Mrs. Xiao's face disappeared and she sighed softly. It seemed that her husband was not very satisfied with this marriage.
.
Wang Chengren paused for a moment at the door, frowned and thought for a moment, then turned and went to Old Mrs. Wang's yard. Old Mrs. Wang had just finished eating and was lying lazily on a wicker chair in the yard basking in the sun.
Seeing his son coming, he just raised his eyelids, pointed to the stool next to him and said, "Sit down."
Wang Chengren sat down as he was told, frowning and being silent for a moment, then he said to Mrs. Wang, who was squinting his eyes in concentration, "My son is here because he has something unclear, and he wants to ask his father to clarify his confusion."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang chuckled lightly, sat up from the chair, looked at Wang Chengren and hummed: "I knew you were coming. Is it for Wu Lang's marriage?"
Wang Chengren nodded, his expression still serious, and he said solemnly to Mrs. Wang: "Father said that Wu Lang is the future head of the Wang family, so naturally he has to choose his wife carefully. The son can't figure out why his father let Chen go.
If we don’t get married, we have to have an orphan girl with no help?”
The smile on Old Mrs. Wang's face gradually dissipated, and she stared at Wang Chengren calmly. Until Wang Chengren moved his eyes awkwardly, Old Mrs. Wang sighed softly, with unspeakable disappointment in his voice.
"Is what I said to you before all in vain? We, the Wang family, must not just focus on the power and interests in front of us! Wu Lang understands this more clearly than you!" (To be continued. If you like
