In one sentence, the truth is expressed in the heart.
The old man laughed and said, "Okay, yes, it's okay for my useless children and grandchildren to protect their sisters and aunts. Little girl Minghua, please come to Nian's house more often and let your brother and sister-in-law entertain you."
"That's great. Ours is a daughter's house in Shaolan. We are very happy that Minghua can come around more." The middle-aged woman standing in the front row said cheerfully, her eyes looking at Minghua without revealing her eyes. mood.
The man standing next to her nodded, "That's how it should be."
"Then Minghua will be troubled a lot in the future, I hope you won't mind." Minghua returned to her master.
There was a smile in Xu Shoufu's eyes, and he was very satisfied with Minghua's progress and retreat. "Female families, please go to the backyard to rest. Our beautiful wife is waiting for you in the backyard."
The female relatives said goodbye one after another. The little girl next to the old man looked at Minghua several times and was called up to the backyard by her mother.
The remaining men in the front yard were all men, and each had some status in the court; Ji Jin and Cui Changhe sat nearby and talked with everyone. Occasionally, they would touch Dao Minghua, and Minghua would smile back and nod slightly in response. .
When the female relatives arrived in the backyard, Mrs. Min came out to entertain them, and Mrs. Tian assisted them. Everyone was very happy to talk with them.
We all have acquaintances with each other and have frequent interactions with each other, so attending their banquets is naturally relaxing and appropriate.
"Mrs. Nian, your little girl is really cute and smart. I really envy you for having a good girl." Mrs. Tian said, "My boy will also take the children's voice test next year. I don't know if he can rely on someone else." What kind of results will come out? I hope it can be said."
Mrs. Nian smiled reservedly and did not comment on Tian's words, "Your two sons are also good, I think they will be fine. You and Mrs. Xu just wait, I think there will be good news."
"That's really a blessing from you."
Mr. Tian often means to hold it in his arms.
The two families were at par in Beijing, but Nian Ge always retreated; his connections are still there, and as long as he doesn't die, he won't leave. Moreover, the Nian family is not in a state of decline, they are doing well on their backs.
"Is Shaolan ready for a kiss?" Tian asked.
A hint of displeasure flashed across Min's eyebrows, "Shaolan is still young, so don't be in a hurry; the children of our Nian family and Xu family don't have to worry about marriage, so why do we decide on marriage so early? When they grow up, there will be more It’s people who come to the door.”
If there is a girl in the family, hundreds of families will ask for her.
This interrupted Tian's unspoken words, and Tian became more and more presumptuous. Yesterday, he was targeting Minghua, and today he turned his target to the Nian family. He was disrespectful at all and was picky about the girls from the two families.
The eldest lady of the Nian family smiled a little deeper. Fortunately, there was someone in the Xu family who could control her. She really didn't want to deal with Mr. Tian. After knowing him for many years, he was not a person worth getting to know, and he was often dull. . Her daughter-in-law will be burdened in the future, having to take care of her outside and a mother-in-law who can't carry her weight inside.
"Mrs. Xu is right. My girl is not in a hurry to find a marriage. I still want to keep her until she is eighteen. What will happen in the future? I will tell you later. Thank you, Mrs. Xu Er, for your concern."
Tian closed her mouth regretfully, not daring to say any more.
Mrs. Min breathed a sigh of relief, but she was really afraid that this person would talk about it regardless of her. Even if she could be punished later, the face of the family would be really lost, and that would be the worst thing.
"Mrs. Nian is right. Minghua will see the same thing in the future. My old man likes Minghua. He is also very satisfied and praises her repeatedly. When Minghua grows up, I don't know what kind of husband she should find. As for my son-in-law, I am also looking forward to the arrival of this day; I think by then it will be a grand occasion when a family will have a daughter wanted by hundreds of families."
Mrs. Nian nodded with a smile, "I met Minghua in the front yard. She is a lovely little girl. She looks like she is only five years old, but she behaves much better than my Shaolan. It's me who does this. A mother’s failure to educate her children.”
"You are serious. Minghua's child is more than seven years old, almost eight years old. She is just a bit petite and a bit small. Her parents have raised her well in terms of behavior. Her mother is a very disciplined and responsible person. "Mr. Min is more curious about the Xiao family. After getting along with Xiao Leshi, she only thinks that she is a decent person and nothing more. But she has an extremely outstanding daughter. This depends on the Xiao family.
"Really? I really didn't see it." Mrs. Nian was surprised for a moment, then put it aside, "When my old man mentioned Minghua's age, the chief assistant didn't correct him. I thought she was only in her early five years. Look."
Mrs. Min smiled helplessly and said: "The little girl grows up slowly, so take your time; however, she looks cute like this. I like Minghua's child very much. Unfortunately, I don't have a daughter. If I had I have a daughter, I hope she will be like Minghua."
"Then you can treat her as your sister, how wonderful."
"Yes, it hurts to be a sister."
The two chatted happily back and forth. Occasionally, Mrs. Min would worry about other female relatives; Ms. Tian would be embarrassed next to her. The Xu family has two daughters-in-law, one is good at dancing, advances and retreats in a measured way, and behaves very appropriately. It's annoying, but it feels just right. The other daughter-in-law is a person who follows people's influence and is as stupid as a pig. That is to say, she has no daughter. Otherwise, which high-ranking family in Beijing would like the daughter she raised!
To put it bluntly, in ancient times, it was also the mother who chose a daughter-in-law; the mother was stupid and dull, and most of her daughters were not much better and were not included in the selection process. If she is a virtuous woman with a good reputation for her actions, her children will surely have an excellent marriage market.
Therefore, ancient times were an era where people lived by reputation.
Many people have come to the front yard, including old men dressed in silk and satin, as well as young men dressed in various styles. There are people of all stages, and there are more than twenty people similar to Minghua's age. However, they are not Just dare to get in front of Minghua.
Minghua also pretended not to have seen her, and kept following her master to meet the guests. After the banquet, the last guest was sent away, leaving only the four masters and apprentices. Minghua was too tired to move, so she just stood there Slouching half-lying on the chair.
If the environment didn't allow it, she would have wanted to lie down with Ge You.
Temperament, image, etc. are all false.
Xu Shoufu sat at the front seat and drank tea calmly. Seeing his little apprentice's languorous expression, a smile flashed across his eyes. After all, it was rare for this child to show signs of tiredness. "If you are tired, go back and rest first. Today you will also be serving the master's guests all day long." ”
Ji Jin couldn't help laughing and took a sip of tea.
"It's not easy for me to entertain guests for the first time. You'll get used to it after participating a few times. Don't be afraid, little sister. I'll invite you to come with me next time there's a banquet at my house."
"Thank you for the invitation." Lazy raised his hand to decline.
"Hahaha."
Ji Jin was very amused by her.
Cui Changhe shook his head and laughed. The smile was short-lived; but he found that he had more opportunities to laugh these days than in previous years.
