Taoyao Order

While a few people were talking, Chu Yanran came belatedly holding a small pug, rubbing her sleepy eyes, looking a little sleepy.

The old lady smiled and called her over to present to Shao and Taoyao, and joked: "This is my useless little granddaughter. Now that her mother is not at home, she has become even more unruly."

The girl also came over and bowed to Shao. Seeing that Chu Yanran was only eight or nine years old, but very handsome, Shao just smiled and said: "Oh, this girl is so handsome, she will definitely be a big girl in the future." Beauty, if you marry her, you must not cross the threshold of the Chu family."

Although Chu Yanran was young, she was also of the same generation as Tao Yao. Tao Yao inevitably stood up and saluted across from Chu Yanran. Chu Yanran didn't care much about these people, but was most interested in the cup of lotus seed and red date soup next to Tao Yao.

Chu Ping also ordered someone to serve Chu Yanran a bowl. Chu Yanran finally let go of the little pug in her hands and sat at the table to eat while holding the bowl. She said shyly: "My eldest brother is the best. I got up late." , haven’t had breakfast yet.”

Tao Yao looked at Chu Yanran's words and deeds, and then turned to look at the old lady of the Chu family. She saw that there was no displeasure between her eyebrows, and she still looked at Chu Yanran happily eating with a smile on her face.

Taoyao was a little surprised. She was born in Taoyuan County, which is adjacent to the hometown of Confucius and Mencius. She grew up with the most important rules and etiquette in her family. She never had guests at home, so her children could sleep peacefully. They had to get up early to freshen up and dress up. When the guests arrived, everyone had been waiting for a long time.

They were polite and courteous to each other. If they were delayed and missed breakfast, they would only be scolded. There is no point in eating breakfast by yourself in front of guests.

The eloquent talk of the old lady of the Chu family just now had originally frightened Taoyao, making her think that the rules of the Chu family were even greater.

But looking at Chu Yanran's words and deeds, she came out with a dog in her arms, but after seeing the courtesy briefly, she sat there and used sweet soup, and Chu Ping and the old lady didn't mean to blame her at all.

Taoyao was a little confused. Could it be that the old lady's words about marrying a good wife were only spoken to their daughter-in-law, but not to their own daughter?Taoyao always felt a little weird.

However, the old lady no longer cared about Chu Yanran, and just took Tao Yao and continued: "Are you used to coming to Hangzhou?"

Tao Yao quickly changed her mind and replied with a smile: "I have been here for two or three years, and I am used to it."

The old lady said: "It's pitiful for a daughter of yours to be alone outside. During the ten days, if you have free time, you will come to your house for dinner and treat this place as your own home."

Tao Yao responded politely: "Yes, thank you, old lady, for your kindness."

The old lady asked Tao Yao a few more questions about the situation in Zi Ling Pavilion, and Tao Yao answered them one by one. The old lady saw that Tao Yao was restrained in speaking with her, so she just said: "Although the Chu family is not big, the back garden is There are some beautiful scenery here, let Brother Ping lead you and Yanran around to look at the flowers."

Mr. Shao was left alone here talking to the old lady.

Mr. Shao stepped forward and asked the old lady: "Old lady, what do you think?"

The old lady of the Chu family nodded with a smile: "It's just like you said, she is very good-looking, and she is also a well-behaved and sensible girl. Regardless of her family background, brother Ping is now only thinking about fame. If brother Yaoyao can help him, he can help. One or two is always good."

Mr. Shao nodded repeatedly and said: "That's right. His brother is doing well in the capital. That is to let our Chu family uncle go to the Hongwen Museum in the capital to study, and the capital will also take care of him." Old Mrs. Chu said with a smile: " It would be best if that were the case. Our Chu family also has a shop in the capital, so we don’t have a place to stay. It’s just rare that all the Tao family are scholars, and I like families who are scholars. Scholars know etiquette.”

Shao said: "Yes, yes, that's exactly the truth. Then look behind you..."

Old Mrs. Chu thought for a moment and said: "His parents have settled the matter in Panyu, and I'm afraid it won't be long before they come back. By then, the three matchmakers and six hires will be complete. You know Yaoyao and his family best. This dental matchmaker I entrusted you to do it, so it was right.

As for the red matchmaker and the point matchmaker, I will look for two more matchmakers. "

With the words of the old lady of the Chu family, this matter was almost settled. Shao was overjoyed and said quickly: "Old lady, if you don't mind it, let my daughter earn the money from your matchmaker." She has watched me play matchmaker since she was a child, and I am also a sharp talker. She is more than enough to be a matchmaker for our uncle and Yaoyao. If you can trust me, let her be the matchmaker.

When the time comes, I will discuss with her how our wedding ceremony will be more convenient.As for the matchmaker, you can find someone who can read and write, or I can help you find someone who is knowledgeable and reliable among the matchmakers I know. "

When Mrs. Chu heard this, she only said: "I can trust your girl to be the matchmaker. She is familiar with the girl from the Tao family. Mr. Chen also knows the character of our brother Ping best. If she is willing to help, , that is the best.

As for matchmaking, I already have someone there who I remember well, so I’ll let her do it. "

Shao originally wanted to persuade her again, but when she thought about it, the matchmaker was originally supposed to be on the man's side, helping to persuade the woman's family. But now, he and Tao Yu are both working towards the Tao family, so these three matchmakers will not be the same. There is no member of the Chu family inside, and when the time comes to discuss the betrothal gift and dowry, the old lady cannot afford not to have anyone who knows her roots.

Shao didn't say anything more and just nodded in agreement.

On the other side, Taoyao left Taoyuan with Chu Ping and Chu Yanran, walking slowly along the cobbled path. Chu Yanran on the side obviously had no interest in Taoyao, let alone visiting her own back garden, and only held a She was looking at her little pug with a mournful face. She had not eaten breakfast in the first place, and now it was almost noon. The small cup of sweet soup just now aroused her greed. Now she is very hungry: "Brother, I'm hungry, I'm going to eat something first. You can go shopping on your own."

After saying that, he ignored them and left.

Tao Yao was so shocked that she didn't know what to say. Chu Ping smiled indifferently and explained to Tao Yao: "This girl doesn't treat you as an outsider. She is used to doing whatever she wants at home. Don't blame her."

Tao Yao said: "Of course I don't blame her, I just think that the people in your family are very interesting, something I have never seen before."

When Chu Ping heard this, he was very surprised. While walking with Tao Yao on the path towards Liubei Pavilion, he asked, "Really? How interesting is it? Please ask the girl to teach me."

Tao Yao and him slowly walked into the lake pavilion in the back garden of the Chu family. The place was spacious and empty, surrounded by water, but there were few people. Anyone who came could be seen from a distance, and no one could hear anything they said.

Tao Yao simply asked him: "What do you think of what your grandmother said just now? Do you agree?"
