Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 193 Church Meeting ([-])

The clothes are wet with apricot blossom rain, and the face is not cold with willow wind.

The drizzle was falling from the sky, and it was already March in Yangchun. Zhao Dongzhi walked in from the outside beaming, holding a post in his hand, feeling proud of the spring breeze.

"Sister, guess who invited us to watch a play in the mansion?"

Mrs. Zhao had nothing to do, was painting flowers, and said in surprise, "A play?" This is not something ordinary people can afford, the family is big enough, there is a stage, and there are only a few in the county. Regal.

Zhao Dongzhi's eyebrows were raised, and he raised his post, "It's still the Yuyi class."

"Which one is it?" Mrs. Zhao couldn't help asking. The name of Yuyi Ban was also heard from other people. It is said that the whole Jinan Prefecture is very famous. It stands to reason that it is impossible for them to see this kind of play in their whole life, and now there is someone inviting them, so it is no wonder that she can't hold back.

Zhao Dongzhi smiled and said, "Sister, don't you guess?"

Mrs. Zhao shook her head, "How could I have guessed this, are you lying to me? How could we meet such a family!"

"It was invited by the county mistress's wife." She blinked her eyes, "Today I sent a yamen servant to deliver a letter to the restaurant. I was like my sister at first, thinking that I had heard it wrong, but it turned out to be true!" She laughed and sighed. In a low voice, "Your son-in-law really has a lot of face, the wife of the county mistress can't sit still."

Is it really because of the son-in-law?But at that time, Congratulations also passed Congratulations, and the wife of the county owner never showed up at all. Why did she think of them again when she went to catch the exam last month?Mrs. Zhao thought for a while and said, "Did you invite your mother-in-law?"

Zhao Dongzhi was taken aback for a moment, apparently only thinking of this question, and became puzzled, "No, yes, why didn't you invite Sister Cui? If it's true...it's impossible not to invite her!" She raised her head and said in surprise, "Sister, What's going on? It's just that I was shocked at the time, and I didn't even think about going up."

The two of you look at me and I look at you, but they can't figure it out.

Zhao Dongzhi immediately went to Du Xiaoyu's bedroom, called her out, shook the post in his hand and said, "You are the smartest at home, look, why does the wife of the county mistress only invite the female relatives of our two families to the theater? I didn't even mention the Bai family, but Huang Hua invited me."

Du Xiaoyu just woke up from a nap, confused, took the post and looked at it and said, "How do I know, I've never seen the wife of the county mistress."

"Look carefully, we have invited the Yuyi class. We are just ordinary people. She wants to invite those noble ladies. Why do you want to invite our two families? At first I thought it was because of the time, so I discussed it with my sister. I found out that it wasn't, otherwise I would have invited Sister Cui anyway."

Hearing this, she finally regained her senses, poured tea and drank a few sips before thinking over the information she had just received.

However, there is no clue, it is no different from the two of them!
It's really strange, I missed Aunt Cui's words, that means it has nothing to do with Bai Yushi, but Du Huanghua was invited again, could it be related to their Du family?
"What, you haven't thought of it yet?" Zhao Dongzhi came back from Bai's house, and seeing that Du Xiaoyu was still thinking, she confirmed, "It's true that Sister Cui was not invited."

"You really went to inquire?" Mrs. Zhao frowned, "Being known by my mother-in-law, I thought it was to show off."

"How come, I didn't say it clearly, how can I be so stupid." Zhao Dongzhi dissatisfied, "But she will always know, it is such an honor to be invited by the county lady's wife to attend the church, how can people in the county not know? It's always going to come out."

Mrs. Zhao had no choice but to give up, but felt worried, "What are we going to wear tomorrow? It's hard not to go." She really wanted to push it, and said, "Did you also go to Huanghua's side?"

"Of course, as soon as the post came, I went to Wanfu to talk to her. After all, she has seen the world and made a lot of clothes for the county lady's wife, so I just thought it was strange." Zhao Dongzhi laughed, "Tomorrow we will also Dress up better, you must be a rich wife, you can't be too shabby. Sister, you have so little jewelry, I will lend you a few." After saying that, he went back happily.

After a while, he brought three pieces of jewellery, a butterfly walker inlaid with gold and jade, a kingfisher hairpin, and six small and exquisite gold flower tinsel.

She likes to dress up, and when she has money, she is willing to visit jewelry stores and gold shops. She has bought a lot in the past two years.

Because of the rain, Du Xian went to the private school to pick up Du Wentao, Huang Ligen, and Huang Lirong back home. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw the golden things on the table and couldn't help laughing, "Did you buy it from a jewelry store?"

"Where is it? I bought it before, brother-in-law. I have some good news for you. The wife of the county mistress invited us to the theater!"

Du Xian also had the same reaction as them and was extremely surprised.

Several people talked for a while, but they still didn't understand the reason.

On the second day, Zhao Dongzhi didn't go to the restaurant, and came to see them early in the morning when she was dressed properly. Mrs. Zhao only chose a simple and clean dress to wear. Updo, insert a jadeite hairpin.

"Oh, you two are really..." Zhao Dongzhi was furious, "At least put on those jewelry of mine!"

She couldn't help but press Du Xiaoyu down, ran into the bedroom like a gust of wind, took out the comb, made her a single bun, and put on a butterfly walker inlaid with gold and jade on the left side, and the six flowers were on each side. Sanduo nodded in satisfaction, "Look, she's much prettier than before."

Du Xiaoyu curled her lips, too lazy to refute her.

In the eyes of the county mistress's wife, they are villagers, and no matter how they dress up, their status will not change. Besides, they are just invited to listen to a play, and it is not a grand occasion.

Seeing her go to the backyard, Zhao Dongzhi pulled Mrs. Zhao, "Sister, Xiaoyu doesn't care about her own life, and you really don't care? This is a good opportunity. Those who can be invited by the wife of the county owner must be from the county. What do you think I’m doing with these jewelry? It’s not for Xiaoyu, sister, you don’t need to show off at your age, but if Xiaoyu looks better, maybe some wife will like it, right? "

It turned out that she still had such thoughts, Zhao said displeased, "Xiaoyu has her own ideas, don't make random decisions, you don't know why the county mistress's wife invited us to go, it's not good for you to be such a mess."

Seeing her seeming angry, Zhao Dongzhi hurriedly said, "It's not like I insist on her. She is my niece, don't you really love her? It's just that there are more choices." Mainly she really thinks that Li Jin is not good enough for Xiaoyu , I always feel that I should find someone better.

"You, it's justified to find a good one for Li Shu." Mrs. Zhao couldn't help educating her again after listening, "Don't think about big families, big families don't necessarily have good ones, those sons and brothers three There are so many wives and concubines, do you want Xiaoyu to marry such a person? And those young ladies are also self-willed, I think girls from ordinary families are not bad..."

When it comes to herself, Zhao Dongzhi has a headache, so she has to prevaricate something else.

After breakfast, almost half an hour later, the carriage sent over there came.

The coachman was also very polite, and invited the three of them to board the car. As guests, it was not good to go empty-handed. The things had been prepared long ago, and the county lord's house probably didn't lack anything, so he brought some home-grown ones, and the coachman Said that the wife had expected it a long time ago and told them not to bring it.

The guest can do whatever he wants, that's all.

It was the first time for them to go to the county lord's official residence, and in Du Xiaoyu's eyes, it was nothing special. It felt like Wan's mansion, just a little bigger and more grand.

The mansion is also divided into inner and outer courtyards. There have been maids and mother-in-law Hou at the inner gate, and they led the way to the inside.

The attitude of those servants can be called respectful, Mrs. Zhao waved her hands again and again when she called her, saying that she couldn't bear this kind of title, so they smiled slightly, but they still called like this.However, Zhao Dongzhi was quite useful, that's probably how it feels to be the wife of a wealthy family.

They finally came to a wide place through the moon arch, and there was a stage over there, surrounded by many flowerpots, and in the distance were all kinds of trees. There were already several ladies waiting, and when they saw the three of them, They all showed some surprised expressions, obviously they didn't expect the wife of the county mistress to invite such a person.

Du Huanghua came with Mrs. Wan and Wan Fanglin.

All three of them knew Mrs. Wan, so they went to see Li.

At this moment, the wife of the county owner also came out, and immediately a lady greeted her with a smile, "I've heard of the name of the Yuyi class, but I didn't expect to hear it with my own ears today. It's really thanks to my wife." There is such a blessing."

"Yes, I don't know how many wives are envious of me, and even asked me to learn a few lines and sing them back." Another wife covered her mouth and laughed.

They are all masters who can talk. Du Xiaoyu was in the workplace in her early years, and she has long been tired of these things. Now she is at ease as a village girl. She doesn't want to please anyone.

Unexpectedly, the county lady's wife came over, and the first person to speak to her was Mrs. Zhao.

"I've wanted to invite my sister over for a long time. I've lived in this county for six years. It's really rare to see you like a mother. Look at how well you teach your two daughters. Huang Hua is good at embroidery and the second daughter He is a well-known expert in raising rabbits in the county, which really makes me envious."

These words made all the wives change their faces. How can a embroidered girl and a businessman with no status count as a good teacher for her daughter?If this counts as teaching good daughters, what are they?
Mrs. Wan was also extremely surprised. She knew the wife of the county lady well, and she never thought that such words would come out of her mouth. In fact, it was already extremely wrong for the wife of the county lady to invite Mrs. Zhao to come and listen to the play. The reason why Bai Yushi was admitted to Juren, but the county head himself was also a Jinshi, and now he was promoted to work in the household department, no matter what, he shouldn't be condescending to them!

Could it be that something happened during this time?
