Chapter 357 Hidden Opportunities

When the couple returned home, Xiao Xiang said: "Madam said that the Fifth Master and you are coming back, so please go to the back. The Fang family is our guest today!"

"I know! Wash your face first... I'm more tired than usual in the past two days." Wen Yu said without any rush.

Several girls gathered around her, washing her face, putting on make-up, changing her clothes, and finally arranging her hair. Qi Wu quickly washed his face and changed his clothes, but he was not in a hurry. He sat down and watched Wen Yu fuss.

After finishing cleaning up, the two of them went to the back hand in hand.

 There was already laughter in the back hall.

Today's visitors are Qi Hou's friends Fang Jiajun and his family. The two have been together since childhood and have worked together for many years, so they have a particularly good relationship.

His wife, Mrs. Fang, is older than Mr. Tan and is upright and serious.

 I think back on when Qihou lost his wife and wanted to remarry the Tan family. Mrs. Fang strongly disagreed, which meant she had no objection.

 But she really doesn’t give Tan’s face!

 Later, Mrs. Tan became friends with Mrs. Fang for several years. Mrs. Fang said unpleasant words and gave an ugly look, but Mr. Tan could not hold any grudge against her.

Moreover, Mrs. Fang recognized Tan's character after seeing how well Tan brought Qi Youyi. He completely let go of his prejudices and became friendly with her.

This good relationship is a real deal.

Outside, if people want to gossip about Tan, Mrs. Fang will take the initiative to defend her and quarrel with others!

 With her strong help and support, the Tan family gained a foothold in the capital and it became a lot smoother.

 Old Mrs. Fang’s hair is almost white, she is dressed properly and has a serious expression. Sitting next to her were her two daughters-in-law, and several granddaughter-in-laws and granddaughters were standing behind her.

Mrs. Tan was complaining to her, "Juniors have their own way of living. You are old enough, and the only thing you can't do is follow the rules! The whole capital knows that you..."

But Mrs. Fang said: "There is no rule without rules! You say I am strict, but I think you are lax! From the beginning, everyone is used to it. If you make a sudden request, people will think they have made a mistake and are being punished. !”

Mrs. Tan smiled and said: "You! Everything makes sense! You are very energetic. I have to fall down tired according to your standards!"

Mrs. Fang smiled with a lot of trouble on her face, "If you worry less, you will not grow old! No wonder, although I am only six years older than you, we look like two generations."

"Where is it? You have a straight figure, but I can't compare with you. My waist has to be kneaded by them every day. If you accidentally slip it, it will hurt so much that you can't get out of bed for several days."

Mrs. Qi sat in the crowd, smiling to herself: She was injured doing heavy work when she was a child. When I first entered the house, she mentioned this. Over the years, I haven’t listened to her anymore...

The girl came in and reported: "Old lady, Fifth Master and Fifth Grandma are back!"

Mr. Tan smiled at the old lady and said, "Look, the busy people are back!"

Wen Yu and Qi Wu came in and saluted the old lady, "Grandma, Mrs. Fang! Madam..."

 As soon as Old Mrs. Fang looked at Qi Wu, her heart was in turmoil.

It turns out that she has a little granddaughter whom she loves very much, who is about the same age as Qi Wu. He once wanted to marry the Qi family and marry her to Qi Wu.

Although Qi Wu was not well-known in the capital when he was young, she had certainly seen him due to the relationship between the Fang family and the Qi family.

 Looking like a beautiful woman!

I really like it, but at the same time I am hesitant: it looks too good!

 Ten times better than my own granddaughter!

 It’s definitely not a good thing if a man looks too good! Therefore, I did not take the initiative to promote this matter. But I couldn't let it go, and I didn't know when it came out.

What a thief Tan is. It was immediately clear that she would not want to do it. Although the Fang family's family background is not as good as that of the Qi family, this old woman is strong and upright. She brought her granddaughter in, and with her supporting her... how can I tolerate my words?

What I said and did, wouldn’t she be the first to jump out? Then hasn't it been a waste of time maintaining it all these years?

 So, pretend to be stupid. Steer the topic quietly.

Mrs. Fang has never played with her before. This matter has not made any progress at all!

 Actually, at that time, if Mrs. Fang had directly approached Mrs. Qi, maybe this matter would have happened!

Although that girl looks ordinary, she has a really good temperament. With the Fang family behind him, Qi Wu couldn't suffer any loss.

It's a pity that the two old ladies had a good personal relationship, so the news didn't reach her.

 Later, Mrs. Qi was worried about Tan's plot and went to the south.

Mrs. Tan began to complain to Mrs. Fang again, bringing out all her helplessness. Mrs. Fang felt the same way and couldn't help but feel dissatisfied with Mrs. Qi.

Waiting for Qi Wu to return to the capital to make a splash, Mrs. Fang felt like she was fried. She regretted that she had not insisted on it, and she should have asked her old man to tell Qi Hou.

 Now, her granddaughter has also started a family and lives a normal life with her son-in-law.

She also heard that Qi Wu’s wife, the Wen family, was out and about all day long. The business is quite big and I make a lot of money! But how could a family like the Qi family use her like this?

 Thinking of the wry smile and helplessness on Mr. Tan’s lips...

Seeing the publicity of Qi Wu and Wen Yu again, their tone couldn't help but be cold: "Are you going to pay New Year's greetings? At this time, the host didn't even leave any food!"

Wen Yu knew in her heart that she must have been instigated by Mrs. Tan, and was too lazy to argue with her. "To answer the old lady's question, my husband took Wen Yu to her aunt's house. When Wen Yu was a child, she was often taken care of by her aunt! When she grew up, her aunt also took care of her. I am accustomed to relying on Wen Yu. I want to discuss everything with Wen Yu. It has become a habit to come to you every time. I know you are coming today, so I only take a quick look and come back to serve you! "

Mrs. Fang has nothing to say about her flexible attitude. Mrs. Tan pointed at Wen Yu and smiled: "Did you see that? I am the fifth grandson's daughter-in-law! I don't know whether it is because she was born so that I love her so much, or because she is always flawless in everything she does. No matter what happens, I can't bear to accuse her. of!"

Wen Yu smiled sweetly: "It must be said that grandma, you are kind to the younger generation and you are never picky about it!"

Mrs. Fang nodded: "Your grandmother was orphaned when she was young, her family was poor, and she suffered a lot. Therefore, she was particularly considerate of her children and grandchildren. But you should also treat these as good intentions, proper rules, and filial piety. , it should be a bit heavier than others!”

“Mrs. Fang, what you are teaching is this! My grandmother often said: As soon as she saw her, she knew that she had suffered a lot when she was young. Let us listen to her words and take care of her in every way!”

How could Mrs. Tan still be willing to mention the hardships of those years now that she is today?

This one: What? Old thief Wen can see that I am suffering? Are those your dog eyes?

Mrs. Fang nodded: "Although your grandmother was a farmer and businessman, she had a lot of experience. She raised your father extremely well! As for you, you were born well and you speak well. However, you still need to be less busy with chores outside. . It would be better if you get more training in front of your grandmother!"

Wen Yu and Tan both felt that this old lady was a little confused...

 After a while, the meal was served. Wen Yu sat next to Zhang Moqing, "Can you go to the princess's house tomorrow?"

 Zhang Moqing smiled and said: "Of course! It's not like we're going to climb a mountain! The princess has a lot of good songs and dances. It must be fun! Ayu, what are you busy with this year? Why are you always away?"

"I went to the Song family again today. There are a lot of things. Zhuzhu asked me to go to the Wen family, but I didn't make time. Tomorrow, I will pick her up first and then go to the princess's house. Oh, I haven't gone to the Zhang family yet. New Year greetings! I wonder if Aunt Zhang has taken issue with it?

 Zhang Moqing smiled ghostly: "When I went home that day, my mother said that my eldest aunt received a gift from you! She scolded you with a smile: "You always spend money randomly! So, the gift is heavy enough, and it doesn't matter if people don't receive it!"

"Tch! Aunt Zhang is not like what you said!" Wen Yu rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "I haven't seen Jiang Qing and Jin Qing for several days. You can always see them when the shop is open. "

At this time, the girl was carrying a plate with a glass of fruit wine and a cup of fruit tea on it. "Fifth Grandma, this is twenty-year-old osmanthus aged wine."

Wen Yu said, "I won't drink today! I'm tired lately. I'm afraid I'll doze off after drinking."

 As she said that, she was about to get the cup of tea. The girl took advantage of the situation and hid for a moment. Before Wen Yu could respond, the girl said, "Then I'll go get two more cups of tea."

Wen Yu was startled, but Zhang Moqing pulled her and said, "Do you know that your grandmother wants to marry Wen Su to Jiang Qing?"

"Ah? Is this the case?" Wen Yu came back to his senses.

 “When I came home, my mother mentioned something.”

 “Let’s not talk about anything else, how do two people’s ages match up?” Wen Yu was unhappy.

Zhang Moqing smiled: "Your grandmother may want to get married. But..."

Wen Yu sneered and said, "She is becoming more and more confident!"

 I thought to myself that I really wanted to get married, but Wen Jiao and Brother Jiang Qing were barely the same age. It's a pity that she is still pointing at Wen Jiao and climbing up. The Wen Wan below is a concubine, and she would be too embarrassed to open her mouth even if she were beaten to death. The next one is Wen Su... It is said that Wen Jing and Wen Su are within two days of each other, but the old lady will definitely not take advantage of Wen Jing.

 The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. What did Mrs. Wen think of Brother Jiang Qing? The meat on her plate?

"Hmph! All the good things in the world should be hers! I have to tell Aunt Zhang tomorrow that the Wen family has given me a good bamboo shoot. If you want to find a wife for Brother Jiang Qing, go to another house!"

 Zhang Moqing smiled: "Don't be ashamed!"

At this time, the girl brought a few more cups of fruit tea, "Grandma, this is jasmine fruit tea..."

Wen Yu looked at her and asked, "What kind of tea was that just now?" Her tone was stern.

“Go back to Fifth Grandma, what I just had was apple tea.”

“I like apple tea. I was just about to bring you a cup. Why are you leaving?”

The girl's smile remained unchanged, "I've already gone around in a circle, I'm afraid it's a little cold. If you like apple tea, can I bring you a cup of hot tea?"

Wen Yu picked up a cup of jasmine tea and smiled: "Forget it. No matter how hot it is, it won't be the same cup as before, right?"

“Grandma Wu was joking.” The girl seemed to have heard something funny and laughed happily.

After the girl left, Wen Yu said to Zhang Moqing: "Be careful about what you eat and drink, especially in the old lady's house. Don't use things indiscriminately."

Zhang Moqing was also holding a cup, his smile unchanged: "What, do you feel something is wrong?"

“Be careful not to make any big mistakes. Xu Minghui made several troubles before, so I felt something was wrong.”

"good."

“And your Aunt Liu, she looks smart but is actually stupid. Especially since she wants you to be the eldest grandson of the Qi family, don’t be stupid and be taken advantage of!”

 The warm words were said casually, but I didn't expect that the words would turn out to be a prophecy in the future.

 There is a lot of wind and sand in Beijing.

 The next chapter will be late, I’ve been really struggling lately.
