Chapter 212

Mrs. Fang was very satisfied with Mingyue, Mrs. Ming also seemed to like Luo Tiandu very much, and the group walked along the peach forest to the stream.However, no matter how beautiful the peach forest is, after looking at it for a long time, I also feel a little visual fatigue. In addition, Mrs. Ming is getting old and can't stand walking for a long time. Another servant girl feared that the weather would be cold and the stone bench would be too cold, so she went to get some cushions to spread on, and the group of people sat down.

Old Madam Ming couldn't help but ask Luo Tiandu in detail what she usually does at home, what hobbies she has, and even what books she read when she was young.Luo Tiandu is an accountant by profession, and he is good at accounting and financial management, but these days, as a standard, what a lady should know is not learned at all. She still writes with the quill pen that Luo Baisu prepared for her now, instead of a brush, the characters are so ugly that no one can see them.

Mrs. Ming is acquainted with the Luo family, so she has to mediate in the middle: "For a family like ours, the important thing to marry a daughter-in-law is to manage the family and live. Those are secondary. No matter how poor our Ming family is, it is impossible for the young lady to personally Take the needle to catch the thread, embroider something to supplement the family, can take care of the house properly, don't need a man to worry about it, and just focus on going outside to make a living, which is better than anything else."

"Siblings are right." Mrs. Ming nodded in agreement.

She is the most convinced of this younger brother and sister, and they are cousins, although the relationship is a bit distant, and the old lady is also familiar with poetry and books, and she was quite famous when she was not married before. The master is also one who only reads the books of sages and sages. After Mrs. Ming married into the Ming family, the two couples got along very well. It would not be so defeated now.

She herself is a pungent and straightforward woman, Master Ming is upright, she has offended many powerful people, and is not good at gaining profits, and she is still able to get along in Shangjing today, thanks to Mrs. Ming's busy schedule and housekeeping. The so-called rich lady didn't think much of it, but Luo Tiandu's clear-cut grievances and unafraid temperament won her favor even more.She knows the situation of Mrs. Ming's family. Master Luo and Mrs. Ming are weak-hearted and unpopular. If a daughter becomes a daughter-in-law, the Ming family will be completely devastated before the day when Mingyue becomes famous.

Therefore, in her heart, she really wanted to make a couple with Luo Tiandu and Mingyue.In her eyes, although Luo Tiandu has a bad temper, he can make money and can manage the family, and he is very protective of his family. Mingyue's family is soft-tempered, and they need such a tougher daughter-in-law to manage the family.

Mrs. Ming said yes, and Mrs. Ming was very satisfied. Seeing that Luo Tiandu was dressed plainly, she took off a jasper bracelet on her hand, and wanted to give it to Luo Tiandu: "I came in a hurry, and I don't know what you like. It was given to me by my grandmother when I was in my natal family, and it was also a wish to ward off evil spirits and keep safe."

Luo Tian hastily refused to take it.Just kidding, even a fool would know that at this time she must never accept a gift from the Ming family, let alone such an expensive gift, and she doesn't plan to marry Mingyue.

Mrs. Ming saw that Mrs. Ming took out the bracelet, and knew that Mrs. Luo had already agreed with Luo Tiandu as her daughter-in-law. If there were no accidents, the marriage should be completed, so she persuaded Luo Tiandu to accept it.Of course she knew that the bracelet looked inconspicuous, but it was passed down from generation to generation and was very precious.

Mrs. Fang also felt that it was too expensive, so she declined along with her. Seeing that Luo Tian did not accept the gift from her, Mrs. Ming was a little embarrassed, and kept looking at Mrs. Ming, which meant why this little lady didn't accept her Li, do you not want to marry this family?

Mrs. Ming also knew that although the Luo family was poor, the Fang family was very responsible and easily refused to accept other people's things for no reason. She knew that the Luo family thought the things were expensive and refused to accept them. He replaced the bracelet with a pearl hairpin and gave it to Luo Tiandu.

The pearl is also a very common pearl on the market, not very expensive, it is expected that the Luo family will not reject it.

This is the first time Mrs. Ming sees Luo Tiandu. She is an elder, so she treats it as a greeting gift. If she refuses again, it will hurt Mrs. Ming's face. Besides, the price of the thing is also moderate, and the Luo family will return the gift later. It's still worth it, thinking about it, Luo Tiandu readily accepted it.

"This child is really real. Let me tell you, the bracelet my sister-in-law just brought out is much more valuable than this pearl hairpin. Don't you regret it now?" Mrs. Ming joked with a smile.

"No, I'm still young after all, and I don't have good eyesight like my wife, but this hairpin is exquisitely crafted, and I like it very much." Luo Tiandu also laughed.

Old Madam Ming nodded: "He is a really good boy."

She had also met several girls' homes for her son before, and she gave a lot of gifts for the meeting, but she still couldn't talk about it later, so she had to turn to Mrs. Ming for help. She originally thought that the female relatives in the capital had more picky eyes, but she never thought about it. The family doesn't like to take advantage of it.

"It's not that I like to brag about my family. My sister-in-law is the kindest person. When I was in my mother's house, I was the best friend with her. At that time, she was the one who took care of me." Mrs. Ming couldn't help thinking of her childhood when she said this. It's quite emotional.

"Hey, when you were young, you had to be strong-tempered, and you wouldn't accept anyone. Even if your elder brother said something about you, you still had to be unconvinced and fight for it." Mrs. Ming also laughed, "I remember that one year, you were in La Rili. Birthday, when it was your birthday, your aunt made two new clothes for you. When it was Chinese New Year, your aunt only cut a few clothes from your cousins. If you didn’t cut them for you, you made a fuss at home. In the end, my aunt couldn’t do anything. Li spent a lot of money to hire the embroiderer to make you a new one. Don't deny it, my aunt told me that."

"I have so many brothers, and I don't have anything without arguing. I cut new clothes for my birthday, and my mother gave a big gift when they celebrated their birthdays. During the Chinese New Year, the whole house has new clothes, but I don't have any. It's not fair, of course I have to fight, this is not a matter of two clothes, if I don't care about it, they will treat me like this in the future." Mrs. Ming said confidently.

Luo Tiandu was a little surprised. Most adults in this day and age are patriarchal, and the whole society is like this, so it's not surprising. As a woman, when encountering such partial things, most of them choose to swallow their anger and give in, such as Like Fang Min, there are very few people who strive to be fair in the family like Mrs. Ming, but it is very tempered by her.

The women chatted together, and the topics were nothing more than those things, such as clothes, jewelry, husband-in-law, children, etc. Since Mrs. Ming talked about clothes, they inevitably discussed for a while the clothes that are popular in Beijing today, what kind of materials What color to dye, what color to match what pattern, can discuss with relish.

Luo Tian was not interested in these topics, and fell asleep after listening to them. Mingyue was a scholar and a man, so naturally he had no desire to discuss such topics, but his mother and aunt were all there, so he could only sit patiently with her .

In the end, it was Mrs. Ming who saw that these young people were bored, and sent them to play by themselves. The old bones of them were resting and chatting here, and asked Mingyue to protect Luo Tiandu so that no one would bump into her. , in fact, this is also the meaning of giving Mingyue and Luo Tian a chance to get to know each other in a disguised form.

Although the men and women are guarded, the two families are accompanied by maids and mother-in-law, and Luo Mingdu is also by the side, so I don't worry that they will spread any rumors.

Luo Tian heard that Mrs. Ming and Mrs. Fang had been discussing the patterned fabrics for a long time, and they were bored to death. Before they could show disinterest, they couldn't sit still for a long time. When Mrs. Ming said this, it was as if she had received an amnesty. After talking to Mrs. Fang, he and Luo Ming went to enjoy the peach blossoms in a few euphemistic terms.

"Master Ming is coming back to Beijing, do you plan to stay for a long time?" Luo Mingdu loves this little girl Luo Tiandu very much since she was a child. She knows that Mingyue is the future husband chosen by Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Ming for Luo Tiandu. Son-in-law, it is inevitable to ask a few more questions.

Mingyue quickly said: "The headmaster of Zhuyuan Academy is very knowledgeable. Uncle found a way for me and arranged for me to study in Zhuyuan Academy. I will take the exam in the next ceremony. If I have nothing to do, I will live in Shangjing." The uncle he mentioned is referring to the adults.

Luo Tiandu was delighted when he heard it, and said, "Zhuyuan Academy? My father used to study there too." He also studied in Zhuyuan Academy for a few years and passed the exam.

Ming Yue nodded and said, "Uncle mentioned it to me."

When Luo Baisu went to Zhuyuan Academy from Luojia Village, he was just a poor scholar from the countryside, and he didn't know anyone else except Zuo Qingzhi's protection. At that time, Lord Ming probably didn't know Luo Baisu. Wyatt must have made it up indiscriminately.Unexpectedly, a well-behaved scholar would still play tricks in his bones.

Luo Tiandu smiled and asked: "My father first came to Beijing at that time and didn't know anyone, how did Master Ming know?"

Mingyue was really embarrassed, he hesitated for a long time, but she didn't say anything, her face turned red.

Luo Tiandu laughed, and stopped asking, and changed the subject, "However, my father also said that the head of the Zhuyuan Academy is knowledgeable and honest, and it's a good place to study."

Lord Ming is now the Shao Yin of Xiling Mansion, and Ming Yue wants to study in Beijing, but he has to find a way to enter Zhuyuan Academy. One can imagine how ridiculous it was for Luo Baihan to believe in just a few words from others, and how ridiculous it was to be able to enter Taixue one thing.
