Chapter 927： The olive branch extended by the Tang family

Chapter 927 The Tang family’s olive branch

That night, the family ate dumplings that were both juicy and white.

No matter where you are, dumplings are a favorite among northerners.

On New Years and holidays, even if there is something happy, it is not considered a celebration if there are no dumplings on the table.

Everyone sat around, feeling satisfied and happy after eating.

 And just in response to that sentence, it’s not that the whole family doesn’t come into the house, Ai Bei and Wen Wen also love what they eat.

Aibei even kept saying that he should study hard and provide food to Jiaxi in the future.

Mrs. Li, Tao Hongying and others were all happy when they heard this, especially Zhao Yuru, who liked her daughter-in-law even more.

Originally, because her daughter-in-law had a high status and was from a foreign country, she still had some grudges in her heart.

But the daughter-in-law is so good to her son and puts him first in everything. As a mother, she appreciates it and is willing to treat her daughter-in-law better...

After dinner, it was getting dark, and no one was talking to Jia'an and Jiaxi, so they sent them back to have a good rest.

After breakfast on the second day, Mrs. Li originally wanted to take her grandson-in-law and great-grandson around the city.

As a result, the Yue family heard about the Li family's reunion and took the initiative to come to congratulate them.

After a while, Hualu also brought Sister-in-law Mi over to deliver some fresh seafood.

Soon after, Mrs. Tang came to join in the fun with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

It’s hard to say, but the Li family had to set up two banquet tables to entertain guests.

Tao Hongying went to the kitchen and ordered the menu. Wenjuan and Huiniang pushed her away and hurried to accompany the guests.

Huiniang said in a low voice, "Fourth sister-in-law, the old lady of the Tang family has always been interested in marrying her granddaughter into our family. Brother Cat is still young, and I am happy to get married again. I am afraid they came here today to see how we are doing."

"Go and listen quickly. You are Jia'an's mother. If Wenyu comes in, she is your daughter-in-law. You have to nod."

"Yes, Fourth Aunt." Wenjuan also urged, "An Ge'er is so promising now, you must check his marriage."

Tao Hongying was also worried about it. She only gave birth to a son and a daughter. Her daughter would eventually get married, and there was no way she would spend the rest of her life with her son and daughter-in-law.

Wen Yu, a girl, although she comes from a family of military generals, does not have a fierce and domineering temper. She is gentle and quiet, speaks with a smile, is simple and kind, and she seems to have been well brought up by her family.

If her son likes it, she has no objection.

Thinking like this, she hurried back to the flower hall where she was receiving guests.

Sure enough, Mrs. Tang was holding Jia An’s hand and praising her constantly.

“Oh, this kid has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a tall and tall figure. He looks so pleasing to the eye. This is what a good man who stands upright should look like!”

After saying that, she scolded Mrs. Li again, "You are so cruel. If other people have such a good grandson, they would want to hold it in their hands for fear of dropping it. How could you be so willing to leave your child floating at sea for several years?"

"I can tell you, if you don't care, you must tell me. I will take him home and keep such a good boy as my eyeball."

Old Mrs. Li heard the temptation in her words, but decided to play dumb.

Although the Tang family is in a good situation and is one of the top families in Quanzhou, marrying the Tang family will definitely bring benefits and no harm.

But in her heart, her grandson's lifelong happiness is more important.

So, she snatched her grandson with a smile, stuffed it behind her, stared at him and quarreled like a child.

"Who doesn't feel sorry for the child? I like my eldest grandson so much! I like him so much that I ruthlessly let the child go out to learn skills. The ones raised at home are like sparrows, but the ones flying in the sky are the eagles!"

"Okay, okay, you have a point!" Mrs. Tang laughed, glanced at her blushing granddaughter, and stopped her conversation in time.

They are all smart people. Just a few words to let the Li family know what they mean. But you can't say more, otherwise the marriage will not be successful and the reputation of the granddaughter will be affected if it spreads.

However, she was still a little anxious. Jia'an, this boy, is really the best candidate for his grandson's son-in-law.

Stable and easy-going personality, good looks and tall.

This time I brought envoys from eight countries back to pay homage. The court will definitely give me a reward, and at least I can get a fifth-rank official.

Don't underestimate the fifth rank. After all, Jia'an was just a handyman in the Foreign Affairs Department before, and he didn't even get into the fifth rank.

And how old he is now, the road ahead will be long. With the Li family as the foundation, Qingyun Road will definitely be broad and flat.

If you don't grab such a good son-in-law candidate quickly, I'm afraid that when you return to Xindu in a few days, the matchmaker will break the threshold of the Li family.

Thinking like this, Mrs. Tang was so shameless that she pushed her granddaughter again.

“Wenyu, didn’t you sew a strip on Grandma Li’s forehead? Show it to Grandma Li, do you like it?”

Mrs. Tang was a little arrogant and originally did not want her mother-in-law to be too proactive, but today she was satisfied with seeing Jia An with her own eyes.

So, at this moment, she rarely supported her daughter and said with a smile, "Yeah, don't be afraid of being embarrassed, your heart is important."

Wenyu's face turned even redder, but he still generously took a box from the maid behind him, stepped forward, and gave it to Mrs. Li with both hands.

“Grandma Li, the sea breeze here is very strong. I thought you said you had a headache last time, so I embroidered this forehead embroidery. I hope you don’t dislike it!”

“I don’t dislike it, I don’t dislike it!” Mrs. Li accepted the box with a cheerful smile.

She took out her forehead wiper and looked at it carefully. The plum blossom pattern was embroidered on the red brocade. The embroidery work was very good and the stitches were fine.

It is obvious that the Tang family is very devoted to the education of their children, and they are not reluctant to let her learn skills just because they are pampered.

"Thank you Yuwen, the embroidery on the forehead is so good, I like it very much." Mrs. Li was moved by the little girl's heart and the Tang family's decisiveness in extending an olive branch.

She thought about it and gave a little feedback.

"When there is a chance in the future, if Yuwen goes to Xindu, she must spend more time with our Fu Niuer. Let our lazy girl be ashamed, her needlework is far worse than Yuwen."

Yu Wen smiled softly and shyly, and responded, "No one is perfect, everyone has his own strengths. The princess may not be as good as me in needlework, but when it comes to business, the princess is ten blocks behind me."

“I also like to eat Baiyunjian’s snacks. I go out there every day and the business is so good. I heard that the princess has recently opened a fruit and vegetable shop and a hot pot restaurant in Xindu, and she is making a lot of money every day.

“I still receive pocket money from my elders, and I have never earned a penny myself.”

Hearing her granddaughter being praised, Mrs. Li smiled even more happily.

Even Jia An couldn't help but take another look at Yuwen. Just as Yuwen raised his head, the two of them blushed when they looked at each other, and quickly lowered their heads.

Everyone naturally saw it, and they didn’t want the two children to be even more shy.

And to be on the safe side, this matter must be carefully considered before it is settled.

So, Zhao Yuru changed her words and introduced Ai Bei to everyone.

Sure enough, Abe, the foreign queen, immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

The status of Tianwu women is not low, but they cannot escape the fate of being vassal to men.

Except for those with titles such as princesses and princesses, who can have some freedom, other women cannot.

Poor families have to work inside and outside, and are even beaten, scolded and humiliated by their husbands and men.

Even those whose parents-in-law’s family are rich and have some power have been locked up in the backyard almost since they were born, and it is difficult to get out.

Even if you get married, it’s just a matter of changing from one backyard to another.
