Taoyao Order

Chapter 3 Elders
Tao Li listened to the chattering of the women, which made his brain hurt. After drinking a large cup of tea, he put down the tea cup, frowned and said: "I haven't even written the eight characters yet. It's just a matter of looking at each other. Don't make any fooling around first. You also need to see if the Chu family's children are really who Shao said.

That mouth of hers has been exaggerated to some extent.Besides, why did their young master from Hangzhou come to Shandong to find a wife? How could he not find a wife in Hangzhou after traveling so far away?
There is also Yaoyao, who has been hanging around at home all day long. In the past few years, under the guise of learning embroidery, he has stopped going to school. If he is a scholar, he will definitely like a young lady who is full of poems and books. Look, you are running away. Like a street horse.Over the years, I have even forgotten the rules and etiquette outside. "

Then he said to Mrs. Sun: "You take advantage of these days to teach her the rules and the housekeeper's business. She doesn't know anything. When she comes to the Chu family, she doesn't know anything about it. Still doing it?" As the mistress of the house, I don’t even know why I’m being manipulated.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Sun became angry and angry.

Taoli was born as a scholar, while Sun's father was from a Qianhu family in Qufu. Sun was considered to be from a military family. Her elder brothers and younger brothers only joined the army with their father and did not study. Although Sun knew a few words, But she has always behaved like the wind, and she has never behaved like a lady from a famous family. Tao Li can't stand it, and always loves Yin Yang. Sun has no knowledge and has no ideas with him.

Tao Li used to say this about herself, but now she actually talks about her daughter in this way in front of such a big family. Mrs. Sun suddenly became angry: "Yao Yao is the best in our family. She has followed her since she was a child. You go to the library to study, Brother Gu can do it, Yaoyao can do it, and he can learn better than his brother. Don't talk about being a scholar now, let us go to Yaoyao, and we can get you a Jinshi.

What are you saying about not knowing the rules and etiquette? We, Yaoyao, know the best etiquette. Every time we go out with me to visit, we are always generous and generous. If you go to Taoyuan County and ask around, who wouldn't praise our Yaoyao?

If we talk about housekeeping, what is so difficult to learn?Our family, Yaoyao, is so good at academics, so I can definitely learn housekeeping things in no time.

During the Chinese New Year, everyone is happy and chatting and laughing, but you are the most disappointed. How can any father talk about his daughter like you do? "

"You!" Tao Li slapped the table, and when he saw that a quarrel was about to start, Taoyao's uncle Taoche stood up quickly, grabbed Tao Li, and said with a smile: "What are you doing? It's the Chinese New Year, dad and mom You two are still sitting here, why are you two quarreling? You are not afraid of the children's jokes.

What a great and happy event this is. Our Yaoyao is a very good child in her own right. Second brother, you can’t talk about our own child like that.In my opinion, everyone should be calm and let Yaoyao go over and see each other first before talking about the rest. "

When Mrs. Sun saw her uncle helping her, her anger dissipated a little, and then she frowned and said, "How about I go to Hangzhou with Yaoyao in two days, and I'll go and have a look too."

Hearing this, Taoli said displeasedly: "No! Even if we succeed, the elders of the Chu family should come to visit our house first. How can there be any reason for you to come first? It's as if we are begging to marry them." "

The stove in the room was burning brightly, making Tao Yao's little face turn a little red. She raised her head and looked out the window. The bright paper-covered windows reflected the bright red lanterns outside. Under the lanterns, she could vaguely see the flying stars. Heavy snow.

The thick clouds of snow had been pressing down for a whole day, and finally they started to fall like they were joining in the fun on this lively New Year’s Eve.

The people in this room had a lively discussion all night, but no one came to ask what Taoyao meant.Taoyao picked up her rose-purple cloak, turned the screen and walked out of the main hall from the back door. She sat on the back of the beauty under the eaves of the corridor, stretching out her hands to play with the snow, but her eyes were in a daze, and she didn't even notice that she was leaving. to the person behind him.

"You don't seem very happy."

That gentle voice came over, and Taoyao didn't have to look back to know that it was her second sister-in-law, Li. Although Li was her cousin's wife, she was closer to her than her brother's sister-in-law, because her eldest brother Taogu's family He has been in the capital and does not see Taoyao often. On the contrary, his cousin Taoyuan and his second sister-in-law, Li, often stay with him in Taoyuan County.

"Are the two little girls asleep?" Taoyao looked up at Mrs. Li, with a forced smile on her face, but the joy of the New Year was gone, and she could only see her tiredness.

Li nodded and handed one of the two heaters in his hand to Taoyao. The two of them sat under the eaves of the corridor holding the heater and talking: "I have been coaxing the two little ancestors, but I have not listened to a few words." , that young master seems to be very good."

Tao Yao smiled bitterly and said, "I heard what my second aunt said is indeed good. But my parents don't believe it."

Li Shi smiled lightly and reached out to hold Tao Yao's hand that was holding the heater but was still cold from the cold: "I can trust Aunt Shao. Although she usually talks in a babble, she never does. Leave Dapu. She said it's very good, it won't be bad after all. Otherwise, Aunt Shao wouldn't have come all the way to leave her daughter who is about to give birth and come back to tell you this."

A little light finally lit up in Tao Yao's eyes, but then went out: "Yes, I can trust the second aunt. But this is not the first time this has happened. Every time Dad looks good, My mother doesn’t like it, my mother doesn’t like it, but my father doesn’t like it. What they like, I don’t like, and what I like, they don’t like. There’s no definite answer. Now I’m even asked to see it by myself. What if I think highly of me but they don’t like me? What if others think highly of me but I don’t like others?”

Mrs. Li couldn't help laughing when she heard this, but marriage is a big deal. If you think about it carefully, there may be mistakes, so you can't just take it lightly: "I know you are angry. But what they said a few times ago is not unreasonable.

Although the brother of the Liu family on Chang'an Street has good character and knowledge, his family is restless. The old man and his wife at home are so old, they even have a dispute in the court, and chickens fly all day long. Even if the dog jumps, it will be difficult for you to live a stable life.

Brother Shen from Jinan Prefecture has a noble family background, good knowledge, good looks, and a prosperous official career. However, he has been nostalgic for the land of fireworks since he was young. There are already two or three girls in his family. How can you find such a person? Can be controlled.

As for Brother Qiao from the back alley, it is true that he and your childhood sweetheart studied together in school together. He is always obedient to you and has a great temper. However, his family background, knowledge and appearance are not a match for yours. of.Wouldn't it be an insult to you to marry her? "
