Encounter with the Four Great Talents

Mrs. Xu took her younger sister to sit on the Arhat bed. The three daughters-in-law followed and greeted the maids to bring fruit refreshments and waited for a long time before sitting down respectively.The two sisters held hands, leaned over a small table and talked to each other.

Mrs. Xu has been in Changzhou for more than ten years, and she has not seen her younger sister for more than ten years. For the two sisters whose parents died, they are the closest blood relatives in the world, and they are the only ones.After so many years of not seeing each other, both of them have a lot of things to say to each other.

And accompanied by a few young mistresses who are constantly observing Qiu Shi.Although this concubine's actual age is actually two years younger than her mother-in-law, but looking at it now, she looks much younger and more elegant.Wearing a simple and elegant embroidered back, she looks slender and slim.Mrs. Xu had many wrinkles on her face, but this one couldn't see any of them. Her skin was delicate like a girl's, only the corners of her eyes had some smile lines, but she looked kind.The facial features that have been carefully drawn are gentle and beautiful, dignified and kind, a gentle woman who is easy to fall in love with.

In this room, Mrs. Qiu was a bit out of place, and the women around her were all well-dressed and glittering.She only wore a peony hairpin, and her uncomplicated hairstyle was nothing more than a string of pearls and two white jade inlaid gold hairpins. On her smooth forehead was a light blue beaded forehead, and on her wrist was a Jade jade bracelet, there is no more decoration.

But that's it, it looks as if she is a level above others.

In fact, several people also understand that it is probably their own psychological effects, after all, who has her good life.Not to mention the mistress of the house, not to mention the outstanding status of the family who lost their business registration, the two sons became Juren, and the daughter also married a wealthy family in Wu County.Ordinary people make her like a woman, and everyone thinks that she will be shorter than her.

Qiu first chatted with Mrs. Xu for a while, and talked about the itinerary along the way.Said that because his son was considerate, he was slow.Mrs. Xu didn't care about this, but she praised Tang Shen again and again, saying that he is a caring and caring son.Qiu smiled and nodded, saying that after his son had greeted his brother-in-law, he would also greet his sister when he came over.

Mrs. Xu naturally agreed, and then introduced a few daughters-in-law to her.The Qiu family also generously gave the same things to the daughters-in-law of the third room, mostly jewelry.Although the items were not rare, they were all exquisite, and it could be seen that they had been prepared with great care. The third daughter-in-law immediately stood up to thank them.

The backgrounds of these three daughters-in-law are neither high nor low, of course there must be reasons for Mrs. Xu's restraint, but in general, the daughters-in-law are all good, with outstanding looks and conduct.Qiu looked envious and said with a smile: "My sister is still blessed to have such three filial and considerate daughters-in-law by her side. How can it be so hard for me to find a daughter-in-law for my son?" .” As he spoke, he tapped his leg, with a depressed look on his face.

Mrs. Xu was distressed, but she still smiled, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled and said: "It's not that your son is so outstanding, you don't like ordinary people! When you choose, you will definitely Only others envy you!"

"Then I've been waiting for that day. Since my daughter got married, I've been alone. I'm really lonely, alas. But after thinking about it, if we got married earlier, would my son still be here today? Forget it Forget it, as mothers, we naturally have to think about our children, even if it's just a little hard work, we'll be fine when the children get well."

Mrs. Xu knew that she deliberately told herself that she wanted to marry her daughter to Tang Yin but failed, and the two families were at odds for a while. Later, it was not until Tang Yin and Tang Shen went to participate in the provincial examination that Master Xu sent Some people went to Tang's house a few times to bring the relationship back quickly.

Today, even though she feels regretful and dissatisfied, Mrs. Xu knows that it is good for Mrs. Qiu to give her an explanation. She can completely ignore her now, so she said with a smile: "Which mother is not single-minded. For the sake of the children, it’s nothing to suffer for yourself, the most important thing is for the children to have a future.”

The two sisters were chatting and laughing, and a word came in from the front, saying that Tang Shen had come to pay Mrs. Xu a greeting.

Mrs. Xu asked him to come in immediately, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen this child for three years, and I don't know what he looks like now. Let me tell you, sister, your son is good, but I don't know how to eat it." If you leave him, what can you do if you let him ask me to talk to me every year."

Qiu covered her mouth and laughed straight away: "Looking at what my sister said, I'm so sour. You just want him to come to say hello, why don't you let Xian'er go to say hello to me? I haven't done it for more than ten years." I saw that kid."

Mrs. Xu looked at Tang Shen who came in and sighed: "If my boy is half as good as your son, I am not afraid of annoying you, and I am willing to let him go to pay your respects every day. But how easy is that friend? well."

"Look at what you said. I heard that Xian'er is very smart and capable." After saying these words politely, Mrs. Qiu stopped talking when she saw that Tang Shen had come to him, and watched her son greet Mrs. Xu with a smile, and then Mrs. Xu introduced him to several cousins.

Ordinarily, these daughter-in-laws and Tang Shen should be avoided, but Tang Shen is only 14 years old after all, and the Xu family doesn't have such big rules, so I introduced them to each other.Tang Shen had already met Mr. Xu and several cousins ​​before, and now that he was numbering one by one, he was not afraid of calling the wrong person in the future.

Tang Shen got a chair and sat beside Qiu Shi, Qiu Shi tilted his head and asked him softly if he had greeted his uncle.Tang Shen leaned forward and replied softly that he had already invited him and met several cousins.Qiu Shi nodded with a smile, then turned to continue talking to Mrs. Xu.

Madam Xu looked at Tang Shen and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Although this child was different from Tang Yin, he was equally outstanding.Tang Guangde and Qiu's are not very outstanding, but the two sons are so perfect that it makes people itch. I really don't know if there is something in the previous life that made these two children reincarnated into their family.

Now that Tang Shen came, the topic gradually turned to Tang Shen.Although Tang Shen didn't like to deal with social affairs, he was clear about it. How could the people in charge of the Tang family be dull.Just because it was clear, something was wrong.

Mrs. Xu caringly asked Tang Shen what he was doing after the rural examination and what he was doing for a living, and said that he should not work too hard at such a young age.Although the words were pleasant to hear, both inside and outside the words had the taste of asking about the secrets of the Tang family's fortune.Although she may just want to find a way for her son, Tang Shen still finds it very ridiculous.So Madam Xu went back with Tai Chi. Seeing that she couldn't ask, and seeing the impatience in Tang Shen's eyebrows and eyes, Madam Xu immediately changed the topic back to the normal path.

Qiu Shi couldn't hear it, and felt a little unhappy.Others thought that the Tang family's current wealth was a sudden fortune after the Zhongju. They didn't know that Tang Shen's hard work and hard work over the years were just not showing off before Tang Yin and Tang Shen Zhongju.Now my sister actually inquires about other people's money as soon as they meet and wants to get a share of it.Since my elder sister married a businessman, only sons and money are left in her eyes, which is really degrading her status as the head of the house.

Mrs. Xu is actually helpless, her son has really become a heart problem for her.Even if he is asked to manage a shop, he only knows how to embezzle the money in the account to eat, drink and have fun. No matter how hard he teaches, it doesn't work. Mrs. Xu's hair is getting gray.After much deliberation, Mrs. Xu felt that if Tang Shen was doing something to make money, she would pay for his son's share, and Tang Shen would naturally give his son a share when he made money.Although she took advantage of the Tang family, but for the sake of her only precious son, Mrs. Xu couldn't care less.

It's just that in such a hurry to make a move, he still fell behind. Even Qiu's words were indifferent, which made Mrs. Xu feel annoyed and regretful.

In order to save face, Mrs. Xu talked about the girl she was in love with, making Qiu's focus again.

The girl's surname is He, and her grandfather was an official of the household department. She looks pretty good, but the only problem is that she lost her parents since she was a child. Her mother is a married woman, and she and her younger brother have been living with her parents-in-law.

When she heard that she lost her father, Qiu immediately became dissatisfied.Marriage now pays attention to the right marriage, which of course refers to the family status of both parties.Of course, the status of this family depends on men. This Miss He doesn't even have a father, so how can she have any status in the family?He doesn't even have a status, so what's the deal with him?Moreover, it is unknown that he lost his father since childhood.Such a girl, when she was in Wu County, she didn't know how many times she was rejected by the Qiu family.

Mrs. Xu naturally understood, and immediately said: "Sister, don't worry, how can I tell Yin'er about ordinary children, this girl is really rare."

Qiu raised her eyebrows, and became a little interested: "Oh, how do you say it?"

"At the time when the He family returned home, my sister, I was lucky enough to meet Mrs. He's family. The old lady of the He family is indeed a person who came back from the capital. No matter how she wears or uses it, she is extremely delicate. Pay attention, I really gained a lot of insight that day. On that day, I met the third girl of the He family, the one I mentioned. The third girl is the only girl in the second room. Although her father left early, Mrs. He and Mrs. He I love her very much, and she is also excellent in discipline. I saw that girl at the time, she looked fifteen or sixteen, she was also good-looking, and she spoke and acted very well. She is really a girl in the capital. She has seen the world. There are rules, and that style is much better than the girls we have seen. I really liked it so much at the time, thinking that such a good girl would have to be a good match." Mrs. Xu praised a lot Wan Hao, Qiu Shi is naturally interested.If the girl herself is very good, even if she loses her parents, it is not a big deal.

But Tang Shen didn't think so, so he took the initiative to ask a rare question: "Do you know what the original official position of Mr. He is and why did you resign?"

Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said, "Master He used to work in the household department, as for why he resigned, hey, I'm not one of those men, I don't know much about it, I only heard that he returned home. Then he smiled and said to Tang Shen: "Master He is over 50 this year. It must be because of the busy and tiring life in the capital that he wants to go back to his hometown to live a comfortable life."

Tang Shen shook his head and said, "I don't think so." Then he shut up.

Mrs. Qiu attached great importance to Tang Shen's opinion. Once he opened his mouth like this, Mrs. Qiu stopped talking about it, and just talked about something else.Mrs. Xu felt that Tang Shen was a little puzzled, but she couldn't tell, so she followed Qiu's words and said something else.Then, a message came from the front, saying that the fifth master came to ask Mrs. Qiu to pay his respects.

The fifth master of the Xu family is naturally Mrs. Xu's son Xu Xian.

Compared with three years ago, Xu Xian's only change is that he is taller, thinner, and looks like an adult, and nothing else has changed.

However, from the moment Tang Shen saw Master Xu beside him, he became more and more sure that he didn't like this kid even more.

Xu Xian doesn't look ugly. Although he was chubby a few years ago, he is thinner and taller now. He actually looks quite handsome.Coupled with a suit of good clothes, it more or less sets off his Yushu Linfeng's outstanding demeanor. Although he is not as good as the brothers of the Tang family, he is considered outstanding among the brothers of the Xu family.It's just that the strong smell of makeup and alcohol on his body, as well as those chaotic and obscene eyes, all made Tang Shen hate this person.

Since Tang Shen came to ancient times, he had a serious cleanliness addiction. This kind of cleanliness addiction is not only physical, but also psychological.In fact, most people are like this. The purer and better the people around you, the more it will affect your moral standards of conduct.Therefore, Tang Shen didn't like the Xu family from the bottom of his heart. Right now, the one he disliked the most was Xu Xian.

The Qiu family faced two sons who were "like flowers and jade" all day long, and their eyes were higher than ordinary people. When they saw Xu Xian, they felt that this child was a pity, and it must be useless.Thinking of this in his heart, he was a little indifferent to Xu Xian, gave him something after a few compliments, and asked some routine questions about whether he was studying or working.

Xu Xian didn't know why, but he was a little afraid of the Qiu family, so he answered very cautiously, saying that he was studying in a private school, and occasionally he would follow his father to the shop to learn how to manage things.

However, Qiu felt that what the child said were just polite words, because the elder sister was obviously relieved from the nervousness just now, and explained to her that these words were taught in advance.Sighing in my heart, my sister wanted to be strong all her life, but she gave birth to such a bad son. Fortunately, this child is still respectful to her sister.

He didn't like Xu Xian very much, so the Qiu family naturally ignored Xu Xian, and just advised him to study hard and try to get a good reputation so that Xu's family got out of business.If you really don't like reading, you can follow your father to learn how to do business. He is not young and he is the son of the eldest son. He needs some skills to support the family.Seeing that Xu Xian lowered his head and answered softly, he nodded and talked to Mrs. Xu again.

After Xu Xian finished replying, he sat next to Tang Shen. This way of sitting was a little strange. Ordinarily he should sit next to Mrs. Xu.So after he leaned over, Tang Shen did a very disrespectful thing, which was to move his chair closer to his mother.In this way, he was naturally farther away from Xu Xian.
