Chapter 22
Mrs. Tang is at the right age for Fenghua. Although her appearance is not stunning, she is more graceful and graceful, and she is also a dignified beauty.Although Mrs. Tang's clothes are simple, it is not difficult to find that each piece is extraordinary.A moon-white dress, elegant and simple, with only the inconspicuous parts of the lapel and sleeves, embroidered with delicate and complicated patterns with silver thread, exuding a low-key luxury; Transparency is also the best in jade.

Luo Tian thought to himself that Madam Tang was born rich and noble, and if Master Tang has such an expensive wife and is not short of property, she might be a real figure and a clear name.

Probably because she was staring too clearly, Mrs. Tang tilted her head slightly, and a pair of sharp eyes fell directly on her.

Luo Tiandu blinked, and sincerely admired: "Madam is so beautiful, even the empress in the New Year pictures can't compare to her."

The child speaks without restraint, and his words are more sincere. Mrs. Tang's face warmed up a lot when she heard this, even her eyes were tinged with warmth, and she smiled and said: "This child can really talk."

The old lady probably had bad eyesight, so she narrowed her eyes and glanced at Luo Tiandu, then nodded with a smile, "He's a cute and sweet-mouthed one."

After speaking, he asked Fang to sit again, and immediately someone moved three low stools.

Luo Tiandu just sat next to Fang Shi. Fortunately, she made a gag and didn't make her kneel down.

It was only then that Mrs. Tang seemed to be interested in Fang's mother and daughter, and asked carefully how many people there were in her family and what she was busy with on weekdays.

It was the first time Fang really faced the official wife, she was quite nervous and couldn't speak completely, but Luo Tian was on the side and answered each of them articulately.

Luo Tian made up his mind to let Luo Baisu take the scientific examination. Luo Baisu and the Yao family were still alive, so Luo Baisu took the initiative to propose a separation. Come to think of it, it was still Luo Baisu's fault, she might be called out one day, and she wanted to excuse her father, so when answering Mrs. Tang's questions, she always picked some interesting rural stories about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Bring a mention to your own home.She mentioned it rather cryptically, and when she was telling some interesting things in the country, she occasionally said a few words, and no one was suspicious.

She articulated clearly and organized, and added gestures from time to time, so that she spoke vividly. Mrs. Tang listened with gusto, nodded frequently, and said: "I only know that the rich and powerful have intrigues, and survival is not easy. troubles."

At her age, even if she said something, she would not say that others thought it was wrong, and everyone in the room nodded in agreement.

When she was talking happily, Qingmei came in with little friend Tang Ruoning in her arms.

"Grandma——" Tang Ruoning, who was like a small dough, called out to the old lady in a soft and sticky voice, and twisted her body to jump off Qingmei.

Mrs. Tang said "Hey" and called "My dear grandson". She took the little soup bun in a hurry and touched his belly. It was bulging. It was obvious that he had eaten a lot, so he was satisfied.In the eyes of the old lady, there is nothing more important than eating for her grandson.

Luo Tian remembered that old man Luo always called his grandson every time, and it coincided with the old lady, probably all the old people who love their grandchildren in the world have such an accent.

Tang Ruoning buried her head in Mrs. Tang's arms, while secretly looking at Luo Tiandu with a pair of beautiful cat eyes, her blushing face was so cute that Luo Tian wanted to go up and pinch her.

Mrs. Tang was the first to notice this abnormality, and before she could ask anything, Qingmei checked her face and answered first: "In the afternoon, I watched Mrs. Fang busy making rice noodles, so I took Mrs. Luo to play with the young master. for a while."

The old lady seemed to have just remembered the purpose of calling Fang, and sighed: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, I've lived for most of my life, and there is only such a good grandson, since he came here, he has no appetite, and his face is so hungry It's sharp, I'm so anxious, yesterday his father sent someone to send a bowl of rice cocoons, and this kid actually ate a bowl, so I gave up my face and asked Tang Han to pick you up."

When it comes to raising children, Fang can still add a few words. Seeing that Mrs. Tang is really kind and kind, she is very kind, and the timidity in her heart is a little less, so she reluctantly replied a few words, and then talked with the old lady about raising children. through.

"We country people don't care much. The adults have to do farm work, and no one watches over them all day. The children are like monkeys. As long as they don't play with fire and water, let them make trouble. If you come back hungry, you can stutter." It’s enough to fill the stomach, and it’s enough to grow up through bumps and bumps.”

The Fang family is upright, seeing that Mr. Tang is being hugged by adults everywhere at his age, no wonder his appetite is like a cat's.She thinks that children should be lively and active, even if the skin is a little rough, so that they can grow strong.

But how can the son of the county grandpa's family be freed like the monkeys in the village?Fang's kindness may not be appreciated by others.Mrs. Tang raised her eyebrows first. She was born in a famous family in the south, and she always only valued knowledge and character. There is nothing wrong with her children being raised like this since childhood.

Mrs. Tang had lived for a long time, but she nodded in agreement: "The two young ladies of your family, although they are a little thinner, their bodies are strong." She touched Xiao Baozi Tang's back again, and said to Qingmei: "In the future Don't always carry him, let him move around more and bask in the sun."

"In our whole life, we don't seek wealth and honor, but only hope that our children and grandchildren will grow up safely. This is a blessing."

"Exactly, I just want these two children to be safe and sound for the rest of their lives, and I don't want to force anything else." This is what Fang said from the bottom of his heart.

Qingmei smiled and said: "Sister Fang is so modest, I think the two young ladies will have a great fate in the future." After speaking, she pulled Luo Tiandu and said, "Although the young lady is small, she can read and write Yes, maybe how much blessing you will have in the future."

Mrs. Tang rubbed the little head of Tang Baozi, and said in surprise: "At this age, you can read and write? It's amazing, who did you learn from?"

No wonder Mrs. Tang was surprised. Since ancient times, a woman's ignorance has been a virtue. Not to mention poor families, even daughters born to some rich and wealthy families may not know a single word.

On such an occasion, you can't count on Fang Shi, so Luo Tiandu had no choice but to step forward and said: "When my father is reading, he will always find time to teach me to recognize a few words."

Qingmei was on the sidelines to explain, "Little lady's father is Luo Xiucai from Qiushui Town."

"Luo Xiucai?" Mrs. Tang thought for a while, and felt that the name was a little familiar. "Yesterday, Tang Han sent someone to tell a joke, saying that there was a scholar who didn't pay for drinking in 'Jufulou', and put his sister-in-law The person who is being held there seems to be named Luo too, right?"

Everyone in the room covered their mouths and laughed, only Fang's face flushed with embarrassment.

Luo Tian frowned secretly, it's true that good things don't go out, and bad things spread far and wide, she didn't want to be blamed with Luo Baihan.Immediately, his eyeballs rolled, and he said crisply and authentically: "That's my second uncle."

Old Madam Tang said in surprise, "He is your second uncle, so the ones being detained in the restaurant are your mother and daughter?" She had always listened to it as a joke, but she never thought it was true.

Although Luo Tiandu hated Luo Baihan's behavior, they were all surnamed Luo after all. No matter how much the two families disliked each other in private, in the eyes of outsiders, they were a decent family. Now that Luo Baihan has lost face, word spread that Luo Baisu Her face was not honourable, so she could only find an excuse to save Luo Baihan's face.

"Second uncle was sent to school since he was a child. He only had books of sages and sages in his eyes, not common affairs. He just forgot to bring money that day. Our mother and daughter happened to pass by. He was in a hurry to withdraw money. If Uncle Tang, the steward, hadn't arrived , we don’t know how long we have to wait before we can go back.” The family scandal must not be publicized!

Mrs. Tang lived most of her life, and she was also a spirit who was fought in the gate of the mansion. Why didn't she understand, she smiled and said: "So, your family has two scholars at the same time, let alone Jinyong County, Even in Huaxi Mansion, this has never happened in a hundred years."

After finishing speaking, he said to Qingmei: "I got a few pieces of good ink a while ago, the master used one piece, gave away two pieces, and a new one, which I brought home for your sister-in-law Fang, just in time for Luo Xiucai to use it. superior."

Fang waved his hands again and again, saying he didn't dare, but Luo Tiandu's eyes lit up.

These days, things for scholars are very expensive. They can't buy a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones after working hard for a whole year. Mrs. Tang can get a piece of ink as soon as she opens her mouth. It must be not cheap, her father Just in time.

When Qingmei went to fetch ink, Mrs. Tang winked at a little maid beside her, and that maid smiled and went out with Qingmei.

When she came back, Qingmei held a big wooden box in her hand, and the little maid who went out with her held a piece of cloth in her hand.

"I think there are still two bolts of blue cloth left in the storeroom. The family doesn't like this color, and it's a waste to keep it. It's better for Auntie Fang to take it back and cut two pieces of clothes for the child."

Mrs. Tang nodded, and said to Fang, "Exactly, it's not something valuable, so don't refuse."

Fang didn't accept it, nor did he refuse it. Standing there, he was very embarrassed.

Qingmei put the wooden box in Fang's hand, and said: "Here is a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones, Luo Xiucai just needs it, and it is also a kindness from our old lady."

The old man was weak, and after talking for a while, he narrowed his eyes, and Fang took his two children to get up and leave.

Qingmei sent them to the door, and said with a smile: "You guys come here once in a while, stay a few more days, there are many delicious and interesting things in the county town, so go shopping more."

Fang had no money, so she didn't really want to stay in the county government office and visit the county town. She was worried that Luo Baisu would be alone at home, and would have to pick dikes during the day, and would have to cook for herself when she came back at night, so she wanted to go back as soon as possible.But the two children finally followed her out for a trip. They didn't go shopping anywhere, so they couldn't bear to go back. They don't know when they will come to the county next time.

She hesitated in her heart, not wanting Luo Tian to be more eager to return than her, so she got up early in the morning and urged her to go home.

"It's rare to come here, don't you want to go shopping in the county town before going back?"
