Everyone had a lively meal, and Tang Rongfei stayed with Liu Anan.
Mrs. Chu is also willing to let the fourth girl accompany her, so as to avoid boring sex with her daughter. There is no hope for the third girl.
News came from Qingmeiyuan that the third girl scolded the fourth girl, saying that the fourth girl did not care for her own family, but for a country girl of unknown origin.
The fourth girl said that the third girl was looking for trouble and had evil intentions. Neither of the sisters would give in.
Madam Chu shook her head. Tang San was hopeless. He was going all the way. She didn't understand why she was targeting Liu Anan?
It was Yuezhi who mentioned that the third young master was kind to Miss An An, but I'm afraid my cousin misunderstood.
Mrs. Chu said: "San'er is good to An An because An An is his adopted sister. Besides, An An also treats her adopted brother sincerely. Not to mention anything else, An An just gave her the beauty soap business without blinking an eye. Even her third brother and her biological sister may not be able to do this, and that girl Fu'er is so disappointing."
"Madam, I'm afraid my cousin thinks Miss An An is blocking her way."
Yuezhi didn't like Tang San either, so he added a handful of firewood tepidly, and sure enough, Mrs. Chu's face darkened after hearing this.
If she had thought before that no matter what the fifth brother planned, Tang Fu's marriage to her younger son would be considered a close relationship. Before that, Fu'er had always been very well-behaved, and she really liked her third son. Now Mrs. Chu doesn't think about it at all. .
She didn't want a house-spoiler to ruin Chu Mansion's century-old reputation. Of course, her niece and her son were more important.
"Take advantage of this banquet to show Third Girl whether there are any suitable young talents. Xuan'er doesn't like Third Girl, and I, the mother, can't force my son to marry her. Yuezhi, you should be more alert. Let Yuegui go to Qingmeiyuan and keep an eye on her, so that the three girls don't cause any trouble again."
Yuezhi nodded and went to make arrangements.
Yuegui is also the eldest girl in the main courtyard. She and Yuezhi lead a group of girls, and the mother-in-law takes turns taking care of the wife.
Mrs. Chu is the mistress of the Chu family. She is resourceful, but gentle and easy to get along with.
As long as the servants work with peace of mind, Mrs. Chu will never make things difficult for them.
Therefore, these girls, mothers-in-law and young men are respectful and loyal to the madam.
When Yue Gui heard what Yue Zhi meant, she immediately understood and immediately packed up her things and went to Qingmeiyuan.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the Chu family's banquet. The gifts from the eldest and second brothers of the Chu family had been delivered to the Chu Mansion the day before.
There are several boxes full, and it looks like they have been carefully prepared.
Liu Anan was not stingy and asked Tang Fu and Tang Rong to pick two things they liked, but Tang Fu did not come to Fuguangyuan.
Tang Rong came happily and chose a hairpin inlaid with pearls. The little girl ran away after choosing it perfectly. Finally, Liu Anan chose another piece of light pink material and asked Liu Xiang to send it to Qingmeiyuan. Arrive at Tang Rong.
Liu Xiang came back and said that the fourth girl was so happy that she almost cried.
The girl didn't mind her sister's affairs and treated her sincerely, which moved her very much.
Of course Madam Chu also knew about it, and lamented that Liu Anan had a pure heart, so she looked down on Tang San even more.
Early in the morning on the day of the banquet, the Chu family was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and there was an endless stream of guests at the gate.
Mr. Chu has an excellent reputation in Songjiang Mansion. His familiar colleagues and friends of the Third Young Master all came to the Chu Mansion to attend the banquet.
Mrs. Chu took Liu An'an to chat with several ladies in charge who had a close relationship with each other. The adopted daughter of the Chu family impressed several ladies with her appearance, manners and conversation.
They all asked Mrs. Chu, "Your adopted daughter has done a good job collecting it. Where did she get it from?" We also want to receive one.
Everyone laughed happily and suddenly became closer.
Some ladies also asked quietly, can this little girl deny others?
When they learned that the famous girl had an owner, the ladies simply beat their chests and feet.
Mrs. Chu secretly thought, if An An doesn't settle for someone else, how can it be your turn? Didn't you see my mistress still staring at me?
Alas, my third daughter-in-law!
After chatting for a while, Mrs. Chu asked Liu Anan to play with the little girls.
The little sisters from the Tang family come here almost every year, so with Tang Rong following, Liu Anan quickly became familiar with these ladies.
Tang Fu was chatting with some little sisters she was familiar with.
A girl with big eyes, a young lady from the Gao family, asked, "Afu, that's Liu An'an, she's so pretty! Your aunt seems to like her very much."
Tang Fu smiled and said, "My aunt doesn't have a daughter, and my eldest and second cousins don't have any daughters either, so my aunt is also rare!"
"You come to Chu Mansion every year, doesn't your aunt treat you and Tang Rong very well?" A little girl in green also said.
"Well, after all, I am my aunt's niece, and An An is my aunt's adopted daughter. Besides, my third cousin likes her very much."
After saying that, Tang Fu lowered her head and pulled the handkerchief uneasily.
"You have always had a crush on the Third Young Master Chu. The Third Young Master has been good to you over the years. Why is it that Liu An'an has treated you badly now that he's here? Could it be that the Third Young Master has moved on and is not in love with you anymore?"
"No, no! Third cousin is very good to me."
Tang Fu hurriedly explained in a low voice, but her eyes were red and she looked like she was hesitant to speak.
Several close girls immediately understood that it was Liu Anan who was causing trouble and used some despicable method to capture the heart of Third Young Master Chu.
This country girl is so shameless!
Several little girls suddenly became filled with indignation.
"Afu, don't be afraid. Mrs. Chu and the third young master were just confused by that country girl. Wait a moment and we will vent our anger on you."
Several girls gathered together to discuss it.
Tang Fu said worriedly: "Forget it, she is also my aunt's adopted daughter. Isn't this bad?"
"Oh, Afu, others have bullied you, and you are still so kind? Just leave it alone, otherwise we will not be happy!"
Tang Fu still persisted, but several good sisters did not give her a chance.
She looked very worried, which made several girls feel that Tang Fu was too kind.
After lunch, everyone dispersed and had free time.
Young children, in groups of three and five, were playing in the back garden.
The men were entertained by Third Young Master Chu, and the elders were entertained by Master Chu and Mrs. Chu. Those who were familiar with each other sat together and talked or played leaf cards.
The girl from the Gao family was quite charming, and she quickly gathered a large group of girls, saying they were going to have a talent competition and let everyone compete with each other.
This kind of activity is also very common, so the girls all agreed, and Tang Rong also pulled Liu An'an over.
The housekeeper reported to Mrs. Chu.
Mrs. Chu didn't think much and asked the housekeeper to prepare some things for the girls that they needed.
The girl from the Gao family came on first and played a piece of music.
Hearing that this girl from the Gao family had worked hard, the young men in the bamboo forest gradually gathered around her.
Several more girls showed off their talents, and it was Tang Fu's turn.
I saw Miss Tang San holding the pen in her hand and thinking for a while, then she smiled and made a few strokes of her pen. Soon a picture of playing the piano was displayed in front of everyone.
"It's me, Afu painted me!" Miss Gao pointed at the painting excitedly.
When everyone took a look, they had to say that Tang Fu's painting was really good. Even the way Miss Gao looked in high spirits while playing the piano was completely similar.
Listening to everyone's compliments, Tang Fu's cheeks turned slightly red, and she blessed her body very gracefully, with a flash of light in her eyes.
