Chapter fifty-eight of articulate
Gao Ju stayed in the third room for about another quarter of an hour before saying goodbye to the palace. Tao took Chen Danxia to see him leave. Not long after he returned to the third room courtyard, Huixiang, the girl from Xuanziyuan, came over. Chen's mother asked Tao to go over and ask her if she had something to do.
Tao knew that Chen's mother asked her to go over and wanted to ask for punishment. As expected, as soon as she entered the door, Chen's mother said sarcastically: "What is frankincense tea? My old woman also needs to hear this name from outsiders." The implication is to accuse Tao of being unfilial and not sending good tea to her, her mother-in-law to taste it.
The unfilial piety was suppressed, and there were a few daughters-in-law who would basically kneel down to apologize. But Tao was not afraid. She had ruined Chen's reputation earlier and made Chen's mother unkind, so that she would not let Chen's mother suppress her because she did not let Chen's mother take unfilial piety.
Tao smiled faintly and said, "I don't know what kind of tea is frankincense tea, but Prince Yu asked that, why can I say there is no at home? This will cause Prince Yu to be unhappy. So I followed his words and continued. I have a short-sighted knowledge. Not to mention drinking this tea, I have never heard of this tea. The old lady has a wide range of knowledge and experience. She must know where this tea is produced. Tell me, I will have a long experience. If it is not expensive, I will buy it to taste it."
Chen's mother narrowed her eyes and said, "Okay, don't mention the tea, let's ask you, is my Xuanziyuan a tiger's den? Am I a tiger? Do I know how to eat Jiuya? Every morning, you will take Jiuya away. Why don't you see our grandparents and grandchildren close together?"
"Old lady, how dare I stop my grandparents and grandchildren from getting close to you? But Jiu Meitu has been raised by my side since she was born. I can't live without her for a while. When I didn't look at her, I was anxious and I was uneasy. The old lady is also a mother, and should be able to understand my mother's heart." Tao was never willing to leave Chen Danxia by Shen's mother's side. She didn't want her beloved daughter to be obedient.
Chen's mother sneered and said, "I haven't seen each other in the past few years, you've been much more neat."
Tao smiled and said, "Old lady, lying is stuttering, and telling the truth is naturally neat."
"It seems that I want Jiu Yatou to move to Xiaolou and be raised by me personally, so you don't want it?" Chen's mother stared at her and asked.
"The old lady has a bunch of granddaughters who need to be raised. If there is another Jiu Meitu, I am afraid that the old lady will be exhausted. Moreover, Jiu Meitu is still young, so don't be in a hurry. What should I worry about is how to find a woman in the family for the older girl who is in the middle of April." Tao did not want Chen's mother to keep staring at Chen Dan and distract her mother from paying attention.
"Are you a good candidate?" Chen's mother was very concerned about Chen Danyao's marriage. After Mr. Shen was not around, the three sons had low positions, and marriage was very important to the Shen family.
"The young masters from various prefectures gathered at the spring banquet on the seventh day of the April 19th." Tao said with a smile.
"Can you get an invitation to send a spring banquet?" Chen's mother looked at Tao suspiciously. What she couldn't even get, could this businesswoman get?
"Three days later, I will show the old lady the invitation." Tao smiled.
Chen's mother frowned, her eyes flashed, and after a while, she said, "Jiu Yatou is young, so you can take care of her for a few more years."
"Yes, then I won't disturb the old lady's rest here, I will leave first." Dow said.
"Okay, it's already this time. There's no need to bring Jiu Yatou to greet you later." Mother Chen was forced to discuss exchange conditions with Tao. She was very unhappy and was not willing to meet Tao's mother and daughter.
"Old Mrs. Xie was kind." Tao agreed readily, just as she wanted. She took a few steps back and turned away.
When she returned to the third room, Tao immediately arranged for someone to go back to her parents' home. When she met her mother and sister-in-law last time, she knew that they had the invitation. Tao immediately asked someone to take the invitation to Tao. Tao took the invitation and pressed it in her hand for three days before she took it to Shen's mother.
When Chen's mother saw that Tao really had to bring the invitation to send the spring banquet, she didn't know whether to be happy or angry. When did this third daughter-in-law she looked down on, she was so capable? Tao gave the invitation to Shen's mother and left, regardless of her mood.
Chen's mother took the invitation and tossed and turned around. After looking at it for a long time, she was unwilling to sigh and said, "Pearl, let's invite the eldest wife and the eldest girl to come."
After a while, Lin and Shen Danyao came. Shen’s mother handed the invitation to Lin, “Look at what this is?”
"An invitation to send a spring banquet!" Lin exclaimed, "It's still my mother who has a solution."
Chen's mother smiled awkwardly, without explanation, and her shamelessness took the credit of Tao. "Yao'er, you must perform well that day, don't lose the Shen family's face."
"Don't worry, grandma, Yao'er won't let you down." Chen Danyao smiled confidently.
Tao would not know about the birth of Xuanziyuan, and she had no time to care about it. She was busy writing posts and invited people to attend the birthday banquet of Chen Danxia on March 26th. Chen Danxia is a child and does not have a full birthday. The people invited are relatives, such as Yu's family, Xu's family, and Tao's family. Chen Danyao and others lived in the same house, and they must also send a post according to etiquette. As for the Zhao family who depended on Zhou's family, Tao hesitated for a moment and also issued a post to avoid Zhou's misunderstanding.
On March 26th, the first one to congratulate Tao Ze, Huang and their son Tao Hang. They went to see Tao first, Tao Ze stayed to talk to Tao, and Huang brought Tao Hang and gifts to meet Chen Danxia.
"My cousin, Hang'er, you are here." Chen Danxia welcomed him enthusiastically.
Huang pushed Tao Hang down and said, "Call someone."
Tao Hang tilted his head and looked at Chen Danxia for a while before he hesitating: "Sister Baozi."
"No, I am your cousin. Also, I am not a bun." Chen Danxia corrected him.
Huang patted his son's shoulder lightly, bent down in his ear and said, "It's not my sister, but my little cousin. I'm called me. I wish my little cousin a happy birthday and a happy life."
"But she is about the same age as me." Tao Hang walked to Chen Danxia, "and she is shorter than me, so I should call her sister."
Huang was stunned and didn't know how to answer. Chen Danxia curled his lips and said, "Boy, don't you understand by judging seniority based on your height?"
This reminded Huang, and Huang gave an example: "Hang'er, you see that your third uncle is so much taller than your eldest aunt and younger aunt, so you still have to call your eldest sister and second sister. Not only is your younger cousin more than one year older than you, but your younger cousin and your father are of the same generation. Do you understand?"
Tao Hang frowned and looked thoughtful. Chen Danxia thought that her little nephew's appearance was quite fun, so he reached out to pinch his fat face.
"Little cousin, if a man and a woman are not kissed, you can't touch my face." Tao Hang took away her hand and said seriously.
Chen Danxia looked at Huang in surprise and asked, "My cousin, who did he learn this from?"
Huang laughed dryly and said, "At the beginning of the year, my uncle invited an old scholar to be his husband."
