Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 372 The Tang Family Comes
The two parties sat down and chatted and laughed. Everyone toasted to each other and mostly said words of thanks.

After that, they talked about Kang Xiucai going out to study, and also about which academy was better in Fucheng. He Jiuniang asked Gou'er, "Mr. Kang is going to Fucheng to study. Are you going?"

The dog thought for a while and replied: "I will go if my brothers go!"

"This kid has such a good relationship with his brothers!"

Mrs. Chen sincerely lamented that the children in her family were close to each other, but that was because they were brothers from the same father and mother, and the second child in her family had not yet been married, so she was always worried.

When someone praised the children in the family for their good relationship, Mrs. Sun was naturally the happiest. She said, "Everything goes well with the family. Only when the children have a good relationship can the family become more and more prosperous! Your family is from a scholarly family, and the children are all brothers." My dear brother Gong, it will be even more exciting when Mr. Kang gets married in two years and gives birth to some fat grandsons for Sister Kang!"

These words touched Chen's heart, and she immediately said to Sun: "Isn't that right? My Zhi'er has been afraid to kiss her because of her poor health these years, for fear of delaying her girl. Now she is in good health. , I hurriedly arranged a marriage for him. We just got engaged not long ago and plan to get married by the end of the year."

As Chen spoke, she looked at He Jiuniang and felt a little embarrassed when she remembered that she had misunderstood the relationship between He Jiuniang and her son. Fortunately, she didn't tell the truth at the time, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.

Especially now that Lu Baichuan is back, if she had really invited the matchmaker to come to arrange a marriage, she would have done something bad with good intentions.

He Jiuniang really didn't know about this, so she didn't feel the embarrassment in Chen's eyes. She was still thinking about things with Lu Baichuan, and she was obviously a little absent-minded.

Mrs. Sun didn't notice either, and talked to Mrs. Chen with a smile: "Oh, the girl from that family is so lucky! Mr. Kang is such a talented person, he will definitely be able to go to high school, and he will have a bright future!"

Mrs. Chen liked hearing this, and the two old sisters felt as if they had met each other late, and kept chatting.

Several men chatted about national affairs and the current situation together, drinking a drink when talking about happiness, and drinking when talking about troubles.

Of course, the representative of the Lu family in drinking is Old Man Lu. Lu Baichuan has really not had a drop of alcohol since the last time he got drunk.

I have no intention of quitting drinking, but I just feel that the relationship with my wife is a bit awkward now. She has not fully accepted myself yet, and it is really not easy for her to take care of me all the time.

This will ruin your goodwill.

Just as he was talking happily, a boy came outside to report that someone from the Tang family was here.

The Tang family is from Kang Xiucai's fiancée's side. Is it possible that there is something urgent that comes here at this time?

Mrs. Chen said sorry to everyone at the table and stood up to go out. Kang Xiucai also stood up. After all, he was coming from his fiancée's family, so he couldn't just ignore everything.

The boy came close to his ear and whispered: "Sir, the person who came here is not evil!"

Kang Xiucai asked him: "What do you mean?" "A large group of people came over, carrying several big boxes. The younger one looked carefully. It seemed that they were gifts from our family. Now that they have brought them over, they can't be Do you want to break off the engagement?"

The servant didn't dare to tell Mrs. Chen this, because Mrs. Chen had always been very concerned about Kang Xiucai's marriage. This marriage was finally settled with great difficulty. Mrs. Chen didn't want to see anything go wrong.

Mrs. Chen was walking in front, and when she heard them muttering behind her, she couldn't help but urge: "Go faster, don't keep people waiting."

Kang Xiucai immediately said: "Yes, mother."

As he spoke, he sped up and followed him.

The one who came from the Tang family was a nanny whom Mrs. Chen knew. She was an old slave who served Mrs. Tang.

The situation of the Tang family is similar to that of the Kang family. The old scholar Tang has been teaching in the county for many years and still has some influence. It seems that the two parties are well matched.

It was originally a good marriage, and both parents were very satisfied, but today someone sent back the gift from the previous engagement.

What the other party meant was self-evident.

When Mrs. Chen saw the boxes behind Nanny Tang, she instantly understood what she meant.

"Mommy, what does this mean?"

Although she was a little angry, Mrs. Chen still showed a standard smile. As the mother of a scholar, she still had this ability.

Aunt Tang bowed to Mr. Chen very sadly, with tears on her face when she stood up.

"Madam, it's our Tang family who can't stand you!"

"Oh, Mom, what happened? You should tell me!"

Aunt Tang wiped her tears as she spoke, but this made Mrs. Chen extremely anxious.

"My young lady is lucky enough to marry Mr. Kang. We, the master and my wife, are very happy and are waiting for a happy event at the end of the year. But I didn't expect that my young lady is so lucky. She fell ill a few days ago and went to countless doctors. They all said that I was The young lady is not going to die soon. My master didn’t want to drag down the Kang family, so he asked the old slave to bring the things back and cancel the marriage between the two families."

After saying that, Nanny Tang also handed over a letter with three words written on the cover: Letter of withdrawal from the marriage.
