"Yes, yes, yes." Yu Bo said hurriedly, thinking that he should deal with his own affairs first.
Shen Fang looked at Li Jun who was speaking with full of confidence and shook his head.
He was really afraid that Li Jun would say something unacceptable.
He grabbed Li Jun's arm and said to Yu Wen in a firm tone: "Master Yu, this is a serious matter and it happened suddenly. I think Jun needs to go back and think about it carefully. We will take our leave now. We will talk later when we have any news."
Yu Wen felt embarrassed to keep Li Jun, so he personally escorted the two of them out.
Yu Yuan immediately pulled Yu Tang aside to talk: "Could this matter be related to that painting?"
Yu Tang was secretly surprised at Yu Yuan's sharpness, but he had a blind date in the afternoon and she couldn't delay Yu Yuan's marriage.
"I don't know!" she said. "It has already happened. There is no point in making more guesses. It is better to wait patiently."
The most important thing is that I don’t know where my seventh uncle went?
Yu Yuan nodded absentmindedly.
Yu Tang had no choice but to cheer him up, saying, "No matter what, those people didn't succeed, and they also sent the people who were sent to arrest me to jail. They must be very angry when they know the news. Their anger is our joy. We should be happy."
Yu Yuan laughed at Yu Tang's twisted logic.
Yu Tang heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Brother, good fortune comes naturally. You see, I encountered such a thing but I met Master Pei San, Li Jun and Shen Fang also came to rescue me, and you, my uncle, and my father are also here. I think I will be blessed in the future."
"I hope so." Yu Yuan said, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Yu Tang said really made some sense. He couldn't help but laugh, and his mood became much more relaxed. He said: "You'd better go out less in the future. It's too uneasy outside."
Yu Tang smiled and said, "Then you should marry my sister-in-law to me soon. I will have someone to accompany me, so I won't run away so often."
Yu Yuan chuckled, looking very embarrassed.
Despite this incident, the matter with the Wei family could not be postponed. Although the seventh uncle had not been found yet, they had to leave.
Yu Wen was worried that Yu Tang was frightened and asked her if she wanted to go back to the city first.
Yu Tang said, "The Wei family already knows that I'm going. If I don't show up, what will you say if the Wei family asks about it?"
Yu Wen wanted to say something, but Yu Tang pushed him away and walked out the door, saying, "Dad, I'm fine. Aren't you guys here to protect me? I'm not someone who can't handle things." Then she called Chen, "Mom, when are we leaving? It's getting late."
Chen and Wang were talking in private. When they heard the shouting, they came out smiling. They were startled to see Yu Tang in a shaggy outfit.
Yu Tang just said that he and his seventh uncle went to pick flowers and fell. His seventh uncle was injured and went to the city to see a doctor.
Chen didn't think it was the case, but Yu Wen was speaking for Yu Tang, so Chen thought that Yu Tang had gotten into trouble like when she was a child and Yu Wen was protecting her. She pulled her to his side and looked her over carefully. Seeing that she was not injured and had brought a change of clothes before leaving the house, she turned a blind eye and pretended not to know, and let them do as they pleased.
Yu Tang washed up again, and the group went to Wei's house.
The people who came out to greet them from the Wei family were the Wei couple and the eldest son and his wife. It was said that the other children had gone to Mrs. Wei's parents' home to give Mid-Autumn Festival gifts.
Yu Tang suspected that Mrs. Wei was afraid that there would be too many people in the house, which would cause too much noise and not make the wedding grand enough.
Except for Wang, all the people in the Yu family had dealt with the people in the Wei family before, and they all had a good impression of each other. After meeting and introducing each other, they were naturally cordial and talked and laughed a lot, and the party was quite lively. Only Yu Yuan, perhaps because of his changed status, lowered his head with a red face, and shrank behind Yu Bo. He had completely lost his usual calm and generous demeanor, and seemed like a different person.
Wang was anxious. While the Wei family wasn't paying attention, she slapped her son hard on the back and whispered, "Stand up straight, don't mess it up at the critical moment."
Yu Yuan straightened his back, but his face turned even redder.
Fortunately, Mrs. Wei thought this was normal and liked Yu Yuan more. After everyone sat down, she told the maid, "The eldest daughter of the Yu family is here too. Please ask your cousin to come and meet her."
This is the meaning of Yu Tang's existence at this time.
Yu Tang couldn't help but widen his eyes and look around.
After a while, the maid brought in a girl who looked about 17 or 18 years old. She was tall, with long black hair tied into a bun, honey-colored skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes. She wore a plain goose egg blue silk short jacket and a pair of pearl earrings the size of lotus seeds. When she looked at people, her eyes were bright and sincere, and she smiled generously.
Although he didn't have a very good look on her face, Yu Tang immediately took a liking to her.
Miss Xiang smiled and stepped forward to greet everyone in the Yu family.
Yu Tang saw Yu Yuan glance at Miss Xiang quickly and then didn't dare to look up. Then he looked at Miss Xiang's graceful demeanor and suddenly found it very interesting.
At my great uncle's house, my great uncle respects my great aunt very much. He would tell my great aunt everything without saying a word and liked to listen to my great aunt's opinions on everything. It seemed that my great uncle was the head of the family, but in fact, it was my great aunt who had the final say.
If my eldest cousin and Miss Xiang get together, maybe the way they get along will be the same as that of my eldest uncle and aunt?
This really proves the old saying that "If you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same door."
When Yu Tang returned the gift to Miss Xiang, she discovered that Miss Xiang was half a head taller than her.
In other words, Miss Xiang and Yu Yuan are about the same height.
The two of them chatted politely for a while, and then Miss Xiang left.
Today's blind date is officially over.
What happened next was that the matchmaker came forward and passed the message between the two families.
Yu Tang was a little worried that Yu Yuan would dislike Miss Xiang's height. On the way back, Yu Tang quietly asked Yu Yuan: "Did you see clearly what Miss Xiang looks like? What do you think?"
Yu Yuan said with embarrassment: "As a younger sister, why do you care about so many things?"
Seeing that Yu Yuan didn't look disappointed or sad, Yu Tang couldn't help but say, "I'm just worried that my aunt and my mother would have worked in vain." Then he said, "If you don't want to tell me, forget it. Anyway, my aunt and uncle will ask you later. I'll go ask them."
"Why do you talk so much?" Yu Yuan said in disgust, and after a long while he finally uttered, "It's the parents who decide whose children's marriages are. I will just listen to them."
Just listen to your uncle and aunt, that means you are willing!
Yet he put it so tactfully.
Yu Tang smiled secretly. When she returned home, she was like Chen's little tail. She would follow Chen wherever he went.
Chen smiled and asked, "What are you doing?"
Yu Tang chuckled and said, "When you guys discuss brother's marriage later, let me listen in as well!"
Chen was at a loss for words and said, "How can you, a good girl, like to listen to these things?"
Yu Tang said confidently, "This is not someone else's business. My brother, what's wrong with me caring about you?"
Chen smiled and said, "Okay, okay, okay. I'll take you there. Even if I don't take you there, you'll still find a way to eavesdrop or ask around."
Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled.
Yu Wen came over and winked at Yu Tang, then said to Chen: "I have to go out for something. As for Ayuan's matter, I think it will be fine as long as the Wei family agrees. I may be back a little late in the evening, so don't wait for me."
Chen was worried: "Today's meeting is related to A-Yuan's lifelong event. It would be bad if you don't go. What should I say when my uncle asks about it later?"
Yu Wen said, "Brother knows about this matter. I have already talked to him. You just need to go ahead and Brother won't ask any questions."
Yu Tang suspected that Yu Wen went to the government office to inquire about information.
She hurriedly said, "Dad, I'll take you out."
The government office is in the city. If you go past Qingzhu Lane, you can only go west.
She wanted to know what Yu Wen was going to do so late?
Yu Wen didn't intend to hide it from her. He went out and said to her, "You stay at home and wait for me to come back." Then he went west.
Yu Tang and Chen went to their uncle's house.
My uncle was not at home either, saying he had something to do in the shop. My aunt complained, "Why did he have to go at this time when he could go at any other time? It's already evening, can't he wait all night? He doesn't care about Yuan's affairs at all. I asked him if he was dissatisfied after taking a closer look at Miss Xiang, and he said he was satisfied, and also said that Miss Xiang was tall, and maybe his grandson in the future would have the same height as Miss Xiang."
Yu Tang suspected that her uncle had gone to the government office with her father. Her father was usually a little proud of his status as a scholar, and he was a little arrogant when dealing with people, but her uncle was different. As a businessman, he would make people smile before he opened his mouth, and he was willing to lower himself. Places like the government office were always difficult for little devils to deal with, and with her uncle's presence, things would be much easier.
Chen didn't think much about it, but took Wang's hand and said, "I thought Miss Xiang was pretty good before, and after seeing her today, I'm even more satisfied. I just don't know what Ayuan thinks, and whether Miss Xiang likes Ayuan. Ayuan looks about the same height as Miss Xiang."
Wang smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about that. I asked Ayuan as soon as I came back, and he said it was up to his parents. His father said he was very happy that Miss Xiang was taller. Now it depends on the Wei family's opinion."
Chen said, "As the saying goes, you have to raise your head to marry a girl and lower your head to marry a daughter-in-law. Since everyone thinks it's a good idea, our family should take the initiative. Not only should we quickly invite a matchmaker to propose marriage, but we should also try our best to make it happen. What is Mrs. Wei dissatisfied with? Isn't it enough for us to make her family satisfied?"
Wang smiled and said, "You and I are thinking the same thing. If this marriage goes through, Miss Xiang will be quite old, and our Ayuan has also been dragged to this age, so I want them to get married sooner. I see that the room Ayuan lives in is not good enough, and it needs to be renovated. There are also betrothal gifts, clothes and jewelry, etc., and the shop needs to spend money... This is really not the right time."
Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "Why are you worried? With our two families working together, are you worried that Ayuan won't be able to find a wife? Although Atang is also of marriageable age, there is a hierarchy of seniority. Ayuan's affairs have already been settled, so we will naturally take care of him first. We can talk about Atang's affairs when the time comes."
Wang was very embarrassed and kept saying "How can this be possible?"
Chen was decisive for once, and said, "This matter is settled. Even if Huili comes back, he will definitely agree with me doing this."
Wang was about to say something, but Yu Tang knew that her aunt was jealous of her. She just sighed deliberately and said, "Who did I offend? The dowry my family prepared for me has become my brother's betrothal gift!"
Chen smiled and said, "Why, you still dare to have an opinion?"
"No, no." Yu Tang said hurriedly, "I just have a small request - after my brother gets married, he can't forget about me and treat me as well as he does now."
Chen and Wang laughed loudly, and Wang hugged her and said, "Don't worry, if your brother treats you badly, I will punish him."
Yu Tang also laughed.
