That Zhou Xintian was indeed different from when he was a child. When he saw this, he immediately stood up and saluted in the direction of Zhou Yaoniang, "Xintian has met my cousin."
He has a very clear voice, is polite, and has an outstanding appearance.
Seeing him salute, all the eyes of the people around him fell on him.
It was obvious that the uncle's family was very satisfied with the performance of their youngest son.
Xu Tianyi, who was following Zhou Yaoniang, naturally only knew the identities of these people after Zhou Yaoniang saluted.
So after Yaoniang saluted, he immediately greeted everyone one by one.
Everyone just looked at the unattractive young man, obviously they didn't know the origin of the other person yet.
But seeing that he was about the same age as Zhou Yaoniang, and he was just following Zhou Yaoniang all the time, everyone actually knew that this man must have a close relationship with Zhou Yaoniang.
It's even very possible that the other party is Zhou Yaoniang's husband.
However, out of caution, when the eldest uncle of the Zhou family saw this, he naturally just asked Mrs. Zhou first, "Sister-in-law, who is this little brother? Why don't you introduce me to me?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou whispered, "This is Yaoniang's fiancé Xu Tianyi."
The eldest uncle of the Zhou family heard this and said, "It seems that our trip was a coincidence. Now we can actually witness the wedding of our little niece."
Although everyone knew something about it, when Zhou introduced Xu Tianyi, the topic seemed to have been dropped from the conversation box.
The eldest aunt of the Zhou family first looked Xu Tianyi up and down gossiping. At this time, Xu Tianyi spent all his food and clothing at the Zhou family, and his current dress naturally looked like an ordinary young master.
The eldest aunt of the Zhou family was the first to ask, "Are your family also from the capital?"
Hearing this, Xu Tianyi only whispered, "No, my home is in Huaitai Mountain City."
As soon as she heard that she was from a small place, the eldest aunt of the Zhou family initially looked down upon her. She said indifferently, "I heard that that place is a poor place, and it is very dangerous due to floods and insect infestations all year round."
Not wanting to face the other party's sarcasm, before Xu Tianyi could speak, Zhou immediately said, "Although Huatai Mountain City is poor, not everyone is poor. Our Tianyi family has now settled on Ziwei Street. He We moved to Ziwei Street because of my daughter."
When Xu Tianyi heard this, he was a little stunned for a moment. He was a poor boy who wanted nothing. Wasn't everything he had now given by Zhou?
But although he was surprised, he was not stupid.
Of course Mr. Zhou had a point in what she said, and he wouldn't be stupid enough to undermine his mother-in-law-to-be.
And when the eldest aunt of the Zhou family heard that Xu Tianyi could buy a house in the capital, she immediately did not dare to underestimate Xu Tianyi. After all, being able to settle in the capital is not only a matter of money, but also of some connections. If there are no connections, everything is in vain.
Unexpectedly, although this boy was not good-looking, his family was very prominent.
Then she thought about her unsatisfactory daughter. She was obviously much prettier than Zhou Yaoniang.
But in the end, my daughter could only marry into a landlord family.
Although the Zhu family is wealthy in their local area, it is still far behind the Xu family.
And just like that, the young master of the Zhu family now just issued a divorce note saying that he was abandoning his daughter.
It was also because of this that the eldest aunt of the Zhou family felt embarrassed and was unwilling to bring her daughter over.
But now it seems that she is still short-sighted.
She should bring her daughter here.
This capital is a big place and the upper limit is also high.
Their daughter is beautiful again, maybe they can find a better man here than the eldest young master of the Zhu family.
But there is no rush now.
Seeing that Xu Tianyi had money to buy a house in the capital, the eldest aunt of the Zhou family couldn't help but ask Xu Tianyi, "I wonder where your father is employed?"
Xu Tianyi immediately whispered, "My father is dead."
The eldest aunt of the Zhou family was a little surprised.
At the same time, Mrs. Zhou was also afraid that Xu Tianyi would reveal her secret, so she only deliberately said, "His father was also a scholar when he was not dead, and he was still a close friend of my husband."
Upon hearing what Zhou said, the eldest aunt of the Zhou family naturally took the initiative to bring Xu Tianyi's identity into the house of an official who was the same as the Zhou family.
Thinking that the Zhou family's father was in prison now, and that Zhou Yaoniang could still have such good luck, she felt a little sour in her heart for a moment.
"Your mother-in-law is so lucky to marry into such a family."
Hearing what the eldest aunt of the Zhou family said, Mrs. Zhou was also a little unhappy. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Our Yaoniang is not just unlucky. Our two families are family friends, and this marriage has been arranged for a long time. Now we are just keeping our oath."
While Zhou was speaking, the eldest uncle of the Zhou family just glared at his wife, as if he was signaling her not to talk too much.
Mrs. Zhou felt unhappy, but she was still in awe of her husband.
So after the other party finished speaking, she finally stopped speaking.
At the same time, Mrs. Zheng just tried to smooth things over, "Oh! Stop talking, everyone. This dish is getting cold. Why don't we eat first?"
After hearing Zheng's suggestion, everyone naturally just nodded.
After all, Zhou didn't want them to continue checking Xu Tianyi's household registration. After all, it took countless lies to cover one lie.
And the eldest uncle of the Zhou family obviously didn't want his wife to embarrass him again.
So Zhou just followed suit and said, "Then let's eat first."
After the words fell, everyone began to eat quietly, and for a while, the sound of needle drops could be heard in the hall.
However, if there are quiet places in this place, there will naturally be unquiet ones. The eldest aunt of the Zhou family was just eating the food on the table while complaining about how shabby Zhou's hospitality was. After all, there were only a few food on the table. Most of them are vegetarian. Occasionally, the amount of one or two meat dishes is only pitifully small.
Mrs. Zhou heard the eldest aunt of the Zhou family's complaint and wanted this effect, so after that, she finally pretended that she couldn't bear it anymore and said to the eldest aunt of the Zhou family, "Sister-in-law, I didn't mean to do this." I'm neglecting you. You also know that my husband is now in jail. Our family is in trouble. In addition, our house has been ransacked. Now our family has very little money. It is already very difficult for me to buy such a table of food. , No, in order to buy this table, I just pawned all my dowry bracelets."
Upon hearing this, the eldest aunt of the Zhou family immediately said dissatisfied, "Just pretend."
Zhou said innocently, "Since my sister-in-law wants to think this way, there is nothing I can do."
After the words fell, Mr. Zhou stopped talking.
At the same time, the eldest uncle of the Zhou family only scolded his wife: "You talk too much, can't you even stop your mouth with rice?"
Being reprimanded by her husband, the eldest aunt of the Zhou family was obviously aggrieved, but she did not dare to speak anymore.
Therefore, the atmosphere only returned to calm.
And after that, when the atmosphere fell into calm, it was not peaceful outside.
"Madam, this little thief stole our flesh."
While talking, several servants escorted only a woman in maid clothes to Zhou's main hall.
As soon as she heard that such a thing happened, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but her face darkened. The maids in their house always followed the rules, how could anyone dare to do such a thing.
But then she soon discovered that the woman's clothes seemed to be the same as those of the maids brought by her uncles.
So she immediately softened her tone and said to the eldest aunt of the Zhou family and Mrs. Zheng, "This girl seems to be the one you brought here? I just don't know whose maid she is. In fact, I have prepared meals for your people. How can your people still behave like clowns?"
Upon hearing this, the eldest aunt of the Zhou family immediately said, "My maids will never do this kind of stealing. I run the house very strictly. If they dare to steal, I will break their legs." of."
Hearing what the eldest aunt of the Zhou family said in a hurry, Mrs. Zheng also looked very unhappy.
She just said coldly, "This shouldn't be the maid we brought here. After all, the maid I brought here won't be so rude."
However, just as Zheng finished speaking, the eldest aunt of the Zhou family immediately said, "Zheng, how can you say that? I think this girl is as thin as you, as thin as a linen rod, maybe This girl is yours!"
Upon hearing this, the expression on Zheng's face was just a little angry, "Don't spit on others!"
Although Ms. Zhou was happy to see these two people biting each other, considering it was dinner time, she didn’t want to hear them eating at the dinner table, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to eat the meal, so she just said, “Since you guys If you don’t admit that this girl is yours, then I’ll ask her to raise her head and you can identify her, won’t you know whose maid it is?”
Upon hearing Mrs. Zhou's suggestion, Mrs. Zheng, who felt she was innocent, immediately said, "Okay, just do as the second sister-in-law said."
As for the eldest aunt of the Zhou family, she had already planned to pretend not to recognize her even if she was her maid. When she heard this, she immediately said, "Okay! Ask her to raise her head. I want to see who is uneducated." .”
Seeing that the two people still didn't recognize each other, Mrs. Zhou chuckled, and then she whispered to the girl in the hall, "Look up, let us see who you are?"
However, facing Zhou's words, the woman refused to raise her head.
Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but ask again, "If you don't want to raise your head, then tell me whose maid you are?"
However, facing Zhou's questions, the woman remained silent.
Seeing that she was unwilling to cooperate, she remained silent.
Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but wink at the old woman at the gate. The old woman naturally knew what Mrs. Zhou meant, so after Mrs. Zhou winked, the old woman also approached the maid, and then the old woman just said When the other person wasn't paying attention, he pinched the other person's chin hard and lifted it up.
Although the woman then hurriedly lowered her head after realizing that her face was being lifted up.
However, this time everyone could still clearly see each other's appearance.
When the eldest aunt of the Zhou family saw the woman, she was obviously shocked and speechless.
