Chapter 549: Mrs. Tan
For ten days, not a drop of rain fell, and a milky white mist filled the air. Many gray, hazy clouds floated leisurely on the blue sky. The little bird did not know where to hide at this time, and the grass and trees in the yard were all miserable, and only the one who knew it, ceaselessly cried in the branches.
Yuxi can't use ice when she is pregnant, and some cold things can't be eaten, and she is very uncomfortable when she encounters such a hot day. At this time, when he heard the cry of Zhizhi again, he was upset, and immediately shouted: "Come on, go and drive away those who know, and make people uneasy." "Fortunately, there are not many trees transplanted in the Yun Mansion, otherwise it would be a heavy task to catch all the knowledge that has been learned.
Zi Jin cautiously walked in and said, "Madam, Mrs. Tan asks to see you." "Mrs. Tan arrived in Tan Binh City in late April, but she fell ill as soon as she arrived in Tan Binh City, and now she is fine. The body just happened to send a message to Yuxi.
Yuxi said, "Please come in, Mrs. Tan." She herself went into the house and changed into her clothes. Now Yuxi doesn't dare to move around much, only at night, because it will get wet if you move around a little more.
After changing their clothes, the guests also arrived in the main hall at this time. When Yuxi came out, he saw a woman wearing a stone blue golden gourd butterfly pattern gown, a ginger skirt, a high bun, and a carved agate and gold hairpin on the stool.
Yuxi was a little puzzled, Tan Tuo was only in his early forties, why did his wife look like a person around fifty years old. And he is very thin, and his face is sallow. Holding the group in his heart, Yuxi smiled and said, "Madam, please take a seat." "Mrs. Tan is about the same age as her mother. There should be respect, and there should still be there.
Mrs. Tan began to look at Yuxi as soon as she walked out. Yuxi is wearing a cherry-colored summer shirt today, with a white and translucent complexion and round facial features. Yuxi's appearance not only indicates good health, but also is conducive to birth and rearing, and is the most popular in the eyes of those elderly ladies.
Mrs. Tan also thought that Yuxi was a blessed person, and immediately said with a smile: "I should have come to visit Mrs. a long time ago, but I was not angry, and I fell ill as soon as I arrived in the northwest, so I came to visit Mrs. now." ”
Yuxi was stunned for three seconds, then said with a smile: "Don't talk about those false courtesies, the body is the most important." "Listening to Mrs. Tan's words, I knew that her communication was not good. To the younger juniors, it will be very embarrassing for the owner to say that he will visit.
Pomegranate and licorice brought tea, snacks, and fruits, and filled the table next to Mrs. Tan. Yuxi said with a smile: "These are all fruits produced in the northwest, especially grapes, which are very sweet, you can taste them." ”
Mrs. Tan took a red grape, didn't peel it, and put it directly in her mouth. After eating, Mrs. Tan praised: "Well, it's really sweet. ”
Yuxi's heart flashed with suspicion, as far as she knew, Mrs. Tan was the daughter of a squire, and she didn't know about this style and thought it was from the countryside. Yuxi smiled and said, "If Madame likes it, I'll bring a basket to eat on the road later." ”
Mrs. Tan hurriedly said: "No, no, these grapes are also sold in Xinping City." "If I knew it, I wouldn't have praised it indiscriminately, and I would send it as soon as I praised it, how embarrassing.
Yuxi's expression remained unchanged, still with a smile on his face, and said: "From Yucheng to Xinping City, it will take four or five days to walk, and on this hot day, eating some fruit can also be refreshing." "On such a hot day, I don't want to see the meat, let alone eat it. These days, Yuxi is eating fruit.
Seeing that Mrs. Tan was a little cramped, Yuxi changed the topic and said, "I heard that Madame's hometown is outside the capital, and I used to live in Hongjujube Village for a while, I don't know how far away it is from Madame's old mother's house?"
Mrs. Tan smiled a little embarrassedly: "I have been away from home with my husband for more than ten years, and I only returned to Beijing last year, so I am not very familiar with the outside of the capital." ”
Yuxi was speechless, you weren't in the capital after you got married, but you were always in the capital before you got married! But Yuxi didn't pick this reason, and changed the topic: "When you go to the northwest, are you still used to eating here? When I first came, I didn't have an appetite when I looked at the dishes on the table. "Yuxi brought the cook herself, where will she eat Northwest food. I said this just to find a common topic.
These words resonated with Mrs. Tan, who immediately said: "Yes! The food eaten here is too strong to be used to eating at all. During my illness, my daughter cooked for me. "The chef of the prefect's yamen is from Xinpingcheng, and he cooks authentic northwest cuisine, where is Mrs. Tan used to eating.
Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief, and finally found a topic to talk about, otherwise she really felt so tired: "Ling Yuan is really a filial child, Mrs. Tan and Master Tan are blessed." ”
Mrs. Tan smiled bitterly: "Qin'er is indeed very filial, but this child was delayed by me." She felt that her daughter was too miserable.
Yuxi asked with a puzzled expression: "How do you say this?" Yuxi only knew that Tan Qin was eighteen years old this year and had not yet married, and the others were not very clear. The few guards who followed there didn't care about the short things at home, and they didn't pay attention to how Mrs. Tan's mother and son were doing in their hometown, let alone inquiring. And Yuxi felt that Tan Tuo had already expressed his attitude when he took his wife and children to Xinping City, and the others did not pay too much attention.
The corners of Mrs. Tan's eyes were sour, and she said: "I'm not afraid of Mrs. jokes, my daughter was originally married to my nephew, but my nephew was sick last year, and my sister-in-law wanted Qin'er to marry and go to Chongxi, but I didn't agree." ”
Yuxi was speechless again, shouldn't this kind of thing be hidden, why would he tell someone he met for the first time in a big smug, and he cried when he came to someone's house, if this is definitely an unpopular object in the capital. However, in the end, it is not good to value Tan Tuo, and it is not good to sweep Mrs. Tan's face. Yuxi held back the irritability in her heart and said, "What happened later?"
Mrs. Tan's tears fell from her eyes, and she choked up: "Later, my nephew recovered from his illness, and my sister-in-law came to the door to withdraw from her relatives." The man wants to withdraw from his family, but the woman is unwilling and can only accept it. The so-called twisted melon is not sweet, and it is also a sin if the girl who does not withdraw from her relatives marries her.
Yuxi was stunned when she heard this, she thought that Mrs. Tan's nephew was sick and died, and her sister-in-law forced Tan Qin to marry and be a widow, and then the two families broke up, and Tan Qin had a reputation as a kefu and was not easy to marry. As a result, it was completely different from what she thought. Yuxi was a little puzzled, why did Tan Tuo marry such a wife: "Mrs. Tan, isn't it a good thing for this family to retire?
Mrs. Tan looked up at Yuxi and said with a look of disbelief: "What do you say, it's a good thing to quit your family?"
Yuxi said: "Of course it's a good thing. Although I haven't met your sister-in-law, I don't look at your sister-in-law's style and she is not a good person. If your daughter hadn't quit marrying her, she wouldn't have been rounded and flattened by her in the future. Now that I have withdrawn from my family, I don't have to face such an evil mother-in-law, isn't it a good thing?" Yuxi felt that Mrs. Tan's vision was very problematic, otherwise how could she give her daughter to her nephew. Doesn't she know what virtues her sister-in-law has? When she encounters such a mother-in-law, she can only consider herself unlucky. No, Mrs. Tan's vision is problematic, and Tan Tuo! Tan Tuo is not a simple person. It is impossible to say that Tan Tuo does not pay attention to Tan Qin, Tan Tuo only has a son and a daughter, and he must also love the only woman. In this case, Lord Tan will agree to this family business, there must be something hidden in it.
Thinking of this, Yuxi couldn't help but ask, "How is this family affair decided?" Either Mrs. Tan carried Tan Tuoding behind her back, or she was forced to be helpless.
Mrs. Tan is a person who does not have a city government, and said: "This family business was decided by my father at the time, and Qin'er was only one year old at that time. After a pause, Mrs. Tan said, "My nephew is one year younger than Qin'er. ”
Tan Tuo is very talented in reading, but his father died early, and he has only one widowed mother, let alone studying, even if he can't eat enough. Or one of his clan uncles saw that he was really talented and hardworking, so he begged Master Bao, that is, Mrs. Tan's father of the Bao family, hoping that Master Bao would agree to let Tan Tuo go to the Bao family's clan to study.
Master Bao saw that Tan Tuo was indeed the material for studying, so he agreed. When Tan Tuo was fifteen years old and won Xiucai, he married his daughter to him, and then contributed money to fund him to study. After Tan Tuo was promoted in the examination at the age of twenty-one, he married Mrs. Tan. Later, Mr. Bao fell ill, and Mr. Bao wanted the third generation to marry again in order to continue to marry this family. At that time, Tan Tuo was unwilling, it was Master Bao who forced him with kindness, and Tan Tuo had no choice but to agree.
Master Bao decided on this family business, just because he thought that Tan Tuo would follow the Bao family for his daughter in the future. It's a pity that Master Bao's son and daughter-in-law don't understand his father's hard work, and they are not satisfied with this family business when they see Tan Tuo, a four-grade prefect, who is not as rich as a merchant in a county. Seeing that her son was sick, Tan Qin was still reluctant to marry in Chongxi, so she was naturally even more dissatisfied. So when the people were good, they quit their relatives.
Yuxi really felt that Tan Qin had withdrawn from this family, which was a blessing: "Mrs. Tan, there are many good sons in the northwest, don't worry about Ling Yuan not finding a good family." ”
Mrs. Tan said: "I don't go out much, I don't know anyone, and I don't know whose son-in-law is good?"
Yuxi smiled and said, "Don't worry, just look for it slowly." And I think Master Tan must know it. "Before, I couldn't refuse the Bao family's family business because of kindness, but now Tan Tuo will definitely choose a son-in-law well.
Mrs. Tan was sad when she thought of this, and said, "My lord has always said that he is not in a hurry, but how can he not be in a hurry! Qin'er is eighteen years old. "If you can't find anyone else, you'll be old girls.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Tan glanced at Yuxi. Mrs. Yun is only nineteen years old, and she is about to be the mother of two children, but her daughter has no family yet.
Yuxi said with a smile: "There are many men and few women in the northwest, so you don't have to worry about not being able to find a good son-in-law." "Yuxi hasn't seen Tan Qin, but I heard from the people below that he is diligent and filial, and his appearance is not bad, but Yuxi hasn't seen it and can't talk much. When I saw it, I was sure that Tan Qin was a good girl, and the fat water would not flow into the fields of outsiders, so it could be said to Xu Wu. Don't look at Xu Wu as the chief of the guard in the Yun Mansion, but he is also an official of the sixth grade, and it is more than enough to match Tan Qin.
Mrs. Tan said with a sad face, "My lord said the same thing, but Qin'er will be nineteen years old." And Hua'er is also seventeen years old, and it's time to say goodbye. Mrs. Tan felt that her son and daughter were all delayed.
Yuxi said with a smile: "When they marry and marry, you still have some worries." This mother, it's all a heart that can't be. "With Tan Tuo's current status, where is there any need to worry about the relationship between his son and daughter in Xinpingcheng, Mrs. Tan is obviously unfounded. Mrs. Tan's sister-in-law is short-sighted, so she will come to the door to withdraw from her family.
Pomegranate walked in, gave Yu Xifu a salute, and said, "Madam, the meal is ready and ready to use." ”
The dishes are prepared by Bai's mother, and they are all Beijing dishes, which are very suitable for Mrs. Tan's taste. Therefore, Mrs. Tan had a good appetite that day, and she ate two bowls of rice at once, and she ate a lot of dishes.
After eating, Mrs. Tan said with some embarrassment: "This meal is so fragrant." "This is really not a compliment, these meals are not much worse than those at Na Fu Ji Restaurant in Tan Binh City.
Yuxi smiled and said, "It's a blessing to be able to eat, I now eat six meals a day!" After Yuxi raised his body, he began to eat six meals a day, and he only ate four minutes full at each meal. Eat small, frequent meals and don't gain weight. Now that she is in just the right shape, Yuxi doesn't want to continue to gain weight.
After lunch, Yuxi accompanied Mrs. Tan for a long time, but Yuxi always couldn't keep up with Mrs. Tan's rhythm, and what she said would be east and west. Mother Qu saw that something was wrong, deliberately amplified her voice, and said, "Madam, it's time for you to take a nap." ”
Yuxi smiled and said, "Now my spirit is a little short, please forgive me." ”
Mrs. Tan had given birth to two children herself, and she knew that pregnant people were prone to sleepiness, so she immediately said, "Madame, go and rest! ”
After Mother Qu led Mrs. Tan to the guest room area next door, Yuxi went back to the bedroom. There was a lot of talk today, and Yuxi spoke dryly. , drank half a glass of water before lying down.
Mother Qu settled Mrs. Tan and went back to the backyard. Seeing Mother Bai, she said: "It's really embarrassing for Mrs., this Mrs. Tan, cough ......" Not only did she not know the etiquette, but she also didn't have a point in speaking, and she thought of what to say. Mother Qu didn't know how this woman had mixed up before, but he knew that this woman was in Xinping City, and if she went out to socialize, she would definitely be embarrassed.
Mother Bai said: "It's just one day, just bear with it." "She'd heard Pomegranate say what happened in the living room.
Mother Qu shook her head and said, "It's also her good luck." "Tan Tuo is a person with a good personality, clean and self-conscious, does not mess with flowers and grass, and does not take concubines. If Tan Tuo takes a concubine, with Mrs. Tan's temperament, this concubine can turn Mrs. Tan into scum in seconds with a little brain.
Mother Bai sighed and said, "Yes! Good luck." "This man doesn't need to be smart, he just needs to be lucky. Like her, life is not very good.
