Delicate Flower

Chapter 25: rumor

The worry of Chen and Wang is not unreasonable.

Soon, there was a rumor that "the daughter of the Yu family doesn't know how high she is, she wants to recruit a scholar to be her son-in-law". When this rumor reached the ears of Chen and Yu Tang, Lin'an City had already heard it. There is a lot of talk, and few don't know.

Chen shivered with anger, unable to speak for a long while.

Yu Tang was afraid of something wrong with her, and hurriedly asked Ah Tiao to invite the doctor.

Chen grabbed Yu Tang's hand, his eyes moistened, and said, "Atang, go and invite your aunt, I have something to tell her."

After Yu Tang heard it, he wondered in his heart.

If she pretends to be a little girl again, I am afraid that she will not discuss any major issues at home, but she knows the results of many things, and if she wants her parents to believe her, she has to come up with means to make her parents feel that she is capable , Knowledgeable, can help the family solve the plight.

"Mummum!" Yu Tang made up his mind, not only did not go to invite the eldest mother, but also sat on the bedside of Chen's bed and said bluntly, "Are you for the rumors outside?"

Chen didn't want to bother her daughter, and said, "Don't worry about your adult's affairs. If you ask you to ask your elder mother, you can go and ask. Obedient!"

Yu Tang smiled and said: "Mum, I have grown up. There are some things, you can try to tell me. If I am wrong, it will not be too late for you to find auntie."

Chen was stunned.

Yu Tang said: "If you are looking for your eldest mother for other things, I will go and ask your eldest mother. If it is for the rumors about my marriage, I have an idea. You might as well listen to it."

Chen looked at her daughter with a confident look, and he couldn't help but hesitate.

Yu Tang smiled and said: "In fact, this matter is not difficult. You only need to invite an official media to come home, and then give her a sum of money, and tell her what kind of son-in-law our family wants to recruit!"

Chen hurriedly said, "How can this work? Official media are usually unreliable."

Yu Tang smiled and said: "We don't really want the official media to protect the media. What does it matter if it is reliable?"

Chen stunned and sat up straight, and said hurriedly, "What do you mean by this?"

Yu Tang then preached to her mother in detail: "Think about it, the rumors outside don’t know where they come from. We just want to check it, but we can’t find out anything, even in case we find it. , Others say "just talk about it at will", so we can do nothing about others. The best way to deal with this kind of thing is for us to speak out. Those people are not saying that I don’t know how to do it, so I need to hire a scholar to do it. Son-in-law? Let's just announce the conditions for recruiting son-in-law, so that those rumors will be self-defeating, and this matter will not be solved?"

The Chen still couldn't turn around and said, "Can we just hire a son-in-law at random? Those who have read are different from those who haven't. They know the etiquette in the warehouse and know the honor and disgrace. The family is too thin, and the food If you don’t have enough to eat, where is there so much attention? Even if he arrives at our house then, he will be jealous today, and if he calculates that tomorrow, nothing will happen. If the child is affected by his father in the future...what else do you have? Have a good time?"

"How can you find one at random?" Yu Tang smiled, "You think too much."

Chen frowned.

Yu Tang slowly said: "A scholar is not equal to a fame!"

The Chen suddenly realized, and squeezed his daughter's hand with his backhand, and continued to say: "Why am I so confused, why am I so confused!"

Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled.

Chen said with excitement: "People with fame and fame are naturally unwilling to enter the pedigree, and even if they do, it will be troublesome in the future. We should find a comparable family, have studied for a few years, be kind, can write, count, and can help. In general, if you have grandchildren in the future, your father’s bloodline is not bad, and you will certainly not be stupid. If you leave it to your father to teach you for a few years, maybe our family will be able to have a Juren, Jinshi?" She said more and more The more I think it is feasible, "For such people, parents are definitely not the ones who can’t move their feet when they see things. We will have contact with us in the future. When multiple relatives are walking around, if you encounter something, there will be It can help. We can also promise people to return to the clan for three generations. When the time comes, the family member will follow their family name."

At this point, Chen's depression was swept away, and he couldn't sit still.

She called Mrs. Chen in, grabbed a handful of copper coins and gave it to Mrs. Chen, and asked Mrs. Chen to invite the official media to come home, and said: "Please invite a few more. Anyway, if you want to publicize this matter, the more people, the better."

Seeing that Yu Tang had a countermeasure, Old Lady Chen was also happy and left beaming.

Chen chuckled, turned around and took her daughter's hand to look up and down.

Yu Tang thought that he was different from before, and he was unavoidable, and said uncomfortably, "Mum, what's the matter with you?"

"I'm watching our Atang really grows up as a big girl." The corners of Chen's eyes and brows are full of joy, "It used to be that mom and your dad were wrong, and I always thought you were fooling around. But you see you these days Although she was bold in what she did, it was angular and righteous.” She said, she sighed and said with satisfaction, “We didn’t have to keep you at home before, but we were afraid You can't support this family. Now, it seems that Mom and your father are in a mess. I don't know that Atang in our family is a good girl with a strong opinion and a sense of responsibility!"

You didn’t look away!

It was God who gave me a chance again, so that I can take on this burden when I should take on the responsibility of this family.

The corners of Yu Tang's eyes were reddish, and he hugged his mother tightly, and murmured with guilt and sadness: "Mum, don't say that, it's me, it's my fault..."

"Look at you, you're talking nonsense again." Where could the Chen family guess what Yu Tang was up to, thinking that her daughter didn't know what to say, she pushed Yu Tang away with a smile, and saw Yu Tang's face full of tears, strangely said. , "What's wrong with you?"

The mother didn't know anything, but she made Yu Tang feel at ease and stable.

She wiped her tears and smiled and said, "I, I'm fine, but I haven't been praised like this by Mom for a long time!"

"You child!" Chen said with a dumbfounded expression, "have you embroidered all the shoe uppers you made? If you really find a suitable family, you will soon be married. Don’t even go to the store to buy shoes when the time comes."

The custom here in the south of the Yangtze River is that when the bride recognizes her relatives the next day, she must give away shoes and socks made by relatives such as her father, mother, and other relatives.

Yu Tang has been happy since she was young, and she has parents spoiled by her parents, so the female celebrities are naturally very ordinary. Later, when she married to Li's family, she saw that Lin did not treat her well, so she was even more reluctant to make needlework for anyone, embroidering a flower. The leaves are not well embroidered. Chen grabbed her, she didn't dare to say more, and ran away as soon as the smoke slipped.

The Chen looked at his daughter's back, laughing so hard that he could not stand up, but was bumped into the face by Yu Wen, who had rushed back from Changxing Street.

He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "What is so happy about? I just met Ah Tiao and said that you have a bad body, and I need to ask the doctor to come..."

Chen smiled and told Yu Wen what had just happened, and said: "With Atang's idea, I can't get rid of this disease right away."

"Is there such a thing?!" Yu Wen exclaimed, "Senior goodbye for three days, look at it with admiration. I really didn't expect it."

"It's not!"

The couple sighed for a long time.

Yu Wen called Yu Tang to the study to give her a good compliment, and gave her a piece of red bean paste and green inkstone from the ancestors of the Yu family.

Yu Tang took the inkstone and complained to her mother: "If I use such a valuable inkstone, Daddy will definitely scream. What kind of reward is this? It's just a change of place for me to help keep it."

Chen smiled and nodded Yu Tang's forehead, and said, "Isn't it decent enough to make the bottom of the box for you?"

Yu Tang giggled.

Chen loved her daughter and didn't want her to be disappointed. He went to Yinlou and ordered a pearl headband, a pair of pearl headbands for Yu Tang, and said: "When your sister Ma came out of the pavilion, you happened to wear it for a wedding drink."

Yu Tang was pleasantly surprised: "Sister Ma's wedding date is set?"

Chen smiled and nodded, and said, "It's scheduled for the sixth day of September. Are you ready to add the box? If not, just go to the shop and order it. I will pay you."

The daughter's female red, she doesn't count on it anymore.

Yu Tang wanted to give more things to Ma Xiuniang, of course the more money the better.

She acted like she asked for five taels of silver from Chen's family, went to the Yinlou and ordered a pair of silver bracelets for Ma Xiuniang, a distraction inlaid with emeralds.

Soon, the official media publicized the Yu family's conditions for recruiting a son-in-law, and explained: "It's not that the sons of those families are not good, it's that they don't meet the Yu family's conditions, and this is no way."

Everyone felt reasonable, and the rumors about Yu Tang's "arrogant and arrogant wanting to recruit scholars as son-in-law" gradually dissipated.

However, Yu Tang's marriage is also placed in the hearts of many people.

On this day, Yu Wen came back after sending the Mid-Autumn Festival gift to the shopkeeper Tong. He was very happy, and said to Chen with a slightly drunken taste: "The shopkeeper Tong said that he would be a matchmaker for our family Atang!"

While serving the sober soup to Yu Wen, Chen said happily: "Measuring the media. The treasurer Tong is such a good person, and he must be a reliable person to talk about marriage. Sit down and tell me carefully."

Yu Wen drank the hangover soup in his hand, and said under the lamp with Chen: "The shopkeeper Tong said that he has a good friend, the surname is Wei, and both of them are Shuangli people. There is an oil workshop at home with more than two hundred acres of land. There is also a hill where more than 300 osmanthus trees have been planted. The five sons in the family are all enlightened. He watched them grow up. The eldest son must stay at home and inherit the family business. Other sons should be able to join the family. . If I think it’s okay, he’ll take a look and call someone out to show our family. If it’s okay, let our family Atang make a pair of shoes for him. No, it’s because I recognized a nephew. ."

"Five sons?" Chen said with a smile, "then dare to love. If this marriage is done, we will also have a relative to help. You see, you are a talented talent, and you have to personally take care of the business in the shop. If there are more at home A child, you and the uncle don’t have to work so hard anymore."

Yu Wen had an eye for Yu Tang’s marriage and was happy, and joked: “Speaking of which, I blame the Pei family. If it weren’t for the Pei family’s funding of so many students every year, how could Lin'an Mansion produce so many talents. Look. Look at other places, scholars are more valuable. Look at our Lin'an again, it is really more popular than the people!"

"Okay, okay, don't say a few words." Chen said with a smile, "you can talk nonsense after drinking. If the Pei family is doing good things, is it hindering you? I think we are in Lin'an Prefecture. The less valuable the talent, the better. Going out is so good! Those who do business outside, others dare not bully at will."
