Chapter 269 ·Long Room

"What kind of face can I have, an old woman?" Mrs. Tang smiled and shook her head, and explained to Tang Xueli, "Don't listen to me all. Mingzhu Club is now in the peak of its popularity. I'm afraid that time will not be easy to schedule. If their family is not available, you can change your family. Anyway, it's just for a lively situation. Who has the intention to really listen to their opera?"

Mrs. Tang has always been very considerate, and she said this because she was worried that Tang Xueli would make things difficult for her just one sentence, thinking that she would have to be a Mingzhu Club and would lose face when the time comes.

Of course, Tang Xueli knew the purpose of Mrs. Tang's words. She nodded gratefully and agreed happily. She couldn't help but think of her grandmother. When her grandmother was alive, her four sisters were not married. With her on her back, she smiled freely every day during the long house.

But now...

Dong Yulu had never heard of Mingzhu Club, so he asked Mrs. Tang in confusion.

Mrs. Tang explained to her the origin of Mingzhu Club, "It's not your fault that you don't know. They only operate in Hangzhou and have never been to other places, so although they are famous, they don't know outside. Mingzhu Club started a long time ago, and when I got married to the Tang family, I heard their name. However, in the early years, I couldn't make a very famous horn, so Mingzhu Club has always been lukewarm and its business is very average. Sometimes I can't receive a few orders a year, and the costumes are all old. Whoever runs a church is not just for fun, but I see their family.

Those old-fashioned costumes were not happy, so in a few years, they simply couldn't get business. They finally cultivated two apprentices who were okay with their throats and also gave them a lot of money to poach them. Mingzhu Club was about to go bankrupt and closed down. Unexpectedly, there was a youngest among those who had not left, and the voice was also amazing. Mingzhu Club actually became popular with him. The old president gave him a stage name called Hua Liandie. After a few years, he became a famous actor. Everyone called him Hua Jiaoji when they saw him."

After hearing this, Dong Yuli nodded repeatedly, "I don't like listening to operas, but my grandmother likes them. During festivals, she always invites a opera troupe to entertain her family. There are also several very famous opera troupes in Suzhou, one of whom was only fourteen years old and had become a pillar. However, I was not interested in these things, so I didn't ask much, and I didn't even know his name. Every time I held a family meeting, I would hide far away and not even go forward."

"You are still young now, so naturally you don't like it. When you get older and experience the mixed feelings of life, you like to listen to operas." Mrs. Tang smiled softly, "This opera sings the joys and sorrows of the world. Each song covers a period of your life. You can think of those days when you listen to the opera. It can also remind you, otherwise you will probably forget it."

Mrs. Tang's words also made Tang Xueli come back to his senses. Everyone decided to be the day after tomorrow. At that time, Mrs. Tang would take her family to the eldest room as a guest.

Tang Xueli received the accurate letter and happily returned home in the carriage. On the way, her maid Chun'er smiled and said, "Since Aunt Xiang entered the door, the old lady hasn't been to the eldest room for many years. Last time she went there, she was just making a full moon for Young Master Rong. She sat down for a while and left, and she didn't even have a full moon wine. The lady must be happy that the old lady could come this time."

Tang Xueli was slightly stunned.

That's right? Since Aunt Xiang entered the door, the relationship between the Changfang and the Second House has become much more distant. She walked back and forth between the Changfang and the Second House, and did not want the two families to eventually become strangers. My father is getting older and is still running around for a livelihood. Brother Rong is still young. It will take him more than ten or twenty years to support the party. But can my father still hold on until then? Once the Changfang encounters any difficulties, can the Second House help without any grudges?

Tang Xueli sighed slightly and whispered to Chun'er, "When you get home, let the manager contact the people from Mingzhu Club. No matter what, the day after tomorrow, you will invite someone to me."

Chun'er immediately understood and agreed wisely.

When it was time to go, except for the uncomfortable feeling of Tang, who did not come with him. Mrs. Tang took Huang and a few younger generations out in a car and came to the eldest room in a mighty manner.

Aunt Xiang and Tang Xueli were waiting at the gate early, and immediately greeted her with a smile when they saw the carriage.

Bai Rongxuan noticed Aunt Xiang as soon as she got off the carriage. She was wearing a long green onion-hearted floor dress, a goose-yellow water-sleeved slanted shirt, with a slender waist and plump buttocks, and with carefully dressed eyebrows and eyes, she looked like a woman who had given birth to a child at all, but she looked like a little girl.

Seeing this, Huang frowned slightly, thinking that Xiang Shi was dressed too eye-catching. She was already a mother-in-law, so who else could she show her? She was so beautiful that she didn't look like a good person at first glance. Huang deliberately turned her face aside, and she was too lazy to look at her at first glance.

Bai Rongxuan also felt that Xiang's complexion looked much better than before. In the past, she was like a flower raised in a garden. Although she was young and beautiful, she always had no concerns. Now she seemed to be raised in a vase. Not only was she carefully cared for by others, the flowers bloomed even more gorgeously.

Bai Rongxuan couldn't understand where this change came from, so she couldn't help but look at Xiang Shi a few more times.

Xiang also noticed her and looked over with her eyes. The two people's eyes met in the air, but Xiang was a little uncomfortable to avoid it.

Xiang quickly calmed down her thoughts. She smiled flatteringly and stretched out her hand, and was about to help Mrs. Tang enter the door herself. Mrs. Tang seemed to have not paid attention to it, and told Huang next to her about the renovation of the door of the long house, "It looks more magnificent and brighter than before."

I also spent countless money...

Huang said in his heart.

The gate of the eldest house was found to be repaired by Tang Chongzhou when he married Xiang's family. Because the construction period was tight, he didn't understand the way inside, so he knocked a lot of money off. Later, the group of workers drank too much and exposed the matter himself. Tang Chongzhou, the eldest master of the Tang family, was like a joke, and was rumored to be extremely incompetent.

While talking, Mrs. Tang handed her hands to Huang and Dong Yulu, and helped her to step into the gate of the long room.

Xiang's hand froze on the spot, and his face suddenly became a little uneasy. It was still the mother beside her who coughed twice, and she came to her senses, squeezed out a fake smile on her face, and quickly caught up with the footsteps of Mrs. Tang and Huang.

Bai Rongxuan, who was standing beside her, saw this in her eyes, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so she could only deliberately wipe her mouth with a veil and turn her face to the side.

Tang Xueli, who was staying there, warmly invited everyone to come in. Tang Xueru immediately ran to her and became tired, "Sister Li, what delicious food have you prepared to entertain us?"

Tang Xueli likes her naughty temperament the most. He pinched her small nose when he heard the sound, "You greedy ghost, don't know how much you suffered in your previous life, why are you thinking about eating? You know that you like the snacks in Huanqinglou, I asked the manager to order the day before yesterday. The newly released snacks will be delivered in a while, so that you can eat enough at one time!"

"Really!" Tang Xueru was excited when she heard this, pulled Tang Xueli's hand and jumped up happily, yelling that Tang Xueli was the best person in the world who loved her the most.

Tang Xueping and Bai Rongxuan who were standing beside him looked blue in their faces.

So what's wrong with them?

The two looked at each other and exchanged a helpless look.

Tang Xueli was probably worried that Xiang could not handle Mrs. Tang and Huang alone, so she pulled Tang Xueru into the door in a hurry, and she did not forget to turn around and say to Bai Rongxuan, "You guys should follow us quickly."

Bai Rongxuan can no longer remember when she came to the Tang family's house last time. When she stepped into the gate, she first saw a screen wall with the word "Fu" inscribed. Walking in, she was a wide stone brick road with several wing rooms on both sides. Peach trees and apricot trees were planted in front of the house. Now, fruits are all hung at this time, and it feels festive when you look at it.

Walking through a courtyard is the main hall. The house is cleaned and decorated everywhere, and the owner's thoughts are everywhere. Qingyishui's chicken-wedron furniture, and a picture of Baidi Mountain is hung in the center of the hall. The brushwork is delicate, and even the tourists walking in the mountains are painted vividly, making people feel amazing when they see it.

Huang was not polite to Xiang and directly helped Mrs. Tang sit down in the main seat in the hall.

Mrs. Tang is currently the highest elder of the Tang family, and this position is not unavailable. She sat in a free manner, and the mermaids from the long house came in one after another and brought new hot tea, snacks and fruits.

Mrs. Tang smiled and said, "Don't stand, sit down."
