Chapter 370 It's Spring
Tang Gang watched from a distance while Xin An entertained guests today. Even if he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that the old man had a good eye and the bastard Second Brother got lucky.
Tang Mo looked very proud, "My wife is naturally outstanding, it would have been great if you had admitted it earlier."
"Madam Xu is here, and General Xu may also come. Didn't you hear my wife call Madam Xu Aunt Xu? You can enjoy the day today."
Tang Gang was so used to Tang Mo's sarcastic way of speaking that he could now do it without getting angry. After hearing it so many times, he even found it interesting. But then he felt that something was wrong with him and finally glared at Tang Mo.
Tang Mo was thick-skinned and didn't take it to heart at all. Then the father and son went to the door to greet the guests with smiles on their faces, looking like a loving father and a filial son.
Yan Shimao and his companions were all dressed very smartly, wearing the latest styles of clothes. When they saw Tang Mo, they approached him, put their arms around his shoulders, and talked and laughed.
Tang Yaoming, who came to help, led Tang Nan and his brothers to greet them on the side. All the scholars and students who came today were under their care.
As the sun rose higher, the male guests had almost arrived. At this time, the sound of the piano in the garden came faintly. Someone found Yan Shimao and whispered a few words in his ear. Yan Shimao smiled happily and found Tang Mo and said, "Take this lead and lead a group of boys to the garden to pay respects to the ladies of each family and give them a chance to see the girl."
This was also part of the banquet. Men and women met under the eyes of their elders. Tang Mo smiled and said, "Spring has really arrived."
Several people around laughed. Those boys who were of marriageable age looked at Tang Mo eagerly. There was nothing they could do. They had too few opportunities to see the girls on weekdays. They were all waiting. Although marriage was decided by parents and matchmakers, they also wanted to find someone they liked. It was necessary to take a look at each other. "Everything is ready. I will take you to the garden to pay respects to the elders of each family."
The boys' eyes immediately lit up. They silently pulled their clothes, and then followed Tang Mo with a smile, calling him "Second Brother" and being very well behaved.
The sound of the piano became clearer, accompanied by the sound of the flute and the girls' sweet laughter, which made the boys stretch their necks. After they could see the scenery in the garden, Tang Mo stopped and gave the boys a chance to watch from afar.
I saw the yard was surrounded by flowers and emerald green juice. The dignified ladies were sitting and chatting, the kind old ladies were drinking tea on one side, and the young ladies were talking about something on another side, laughing happily.
Those pretty girls were either playing the piano or painting, as beautiful as a painting. The scenery and the girls were so beautiful that one could not take their eyes away.
Chunyang came forward and said, "Second Master, Madam asks you to lead the other masters in."
Tang Mo nodded, and the boys retracted their gazes one by one and followed Tang Mo into the garden. Suddenly, so many young men came, and the girls stopped what they were doing. They were bolder than the boys and looked directly at them.
Looking at the group of young men, with handsome looks and extraordinary demeanor, not to mention the old ladies, even the eyes of this group of ladies lit up, and they also looked at them with appreciation and pickyness, thinking that this one was handsome and that one was good, and they were dazzled on the spot.
Just like that, the boys stood in one place and the girls stood in the distance, and they all looked at each other from a distance. However, one of them, who was wearing a royal blue robe, did not look at the girls, but instead looked in the direction of a group of young ladies. When he saw the person he was thinking about, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Realizing that she was being stared at, Tao Yiran looked over. The moment their eyes met, they were both a little stunned and looked away at the same time. Then they both looked up again quietly. Soon, Tang Mo took everyone out, and there was no chance for close contact. Any private communication or passionate things could not happen under his nose.
We can only wait until after lunch and go our own way to see if there is any opportunity. Even if there is, nothing will happen. Even if a girl is left alone, there are still maids serving her, and eyes are everywhere.
Xin An had arranged this point particularly carefully. He had attended many banquets in his two lifetimes and had seen all kinds of strange accidents, both unlucky and troublesome.
Nothing can go wrong today.
The ladies who came to the banquet were very satisfied. Although they all came with a purpose, they did not want any scandal to happen. They were very relieved because the host was strict and had rules.
"Your daughter-in-law is really impeccable. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. Is this the first time she has hosted a banquet since she married into the Marquis's Mansion?"
"You said that you are so lucky, and not many people can catch up with you."
Wang became the focus again. She felt comfortable all over despite those envious and jealous eyes. She was happy that she had a good daughter-in-law who brought her honor.
Tao Yiran was sitting not far away, and Gu was talking to her. Since they were both pregnant, they naturally had a lot of topics to talk about. Hearing those people praising Xin An, Tao Yiran forced a smile and slowly stood up, saying that she was not feeling well and wanted to go to the backyard to rest.
It wasn't that she really wanted to leave, she was just feeling a little confused and the words around her were a little harsh.
Tao's eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Li, also came today. Lord Tao originally wanted to stay in Beijing, but after a long time of trying to get anything done, he wanted to be sent out again. He made all the preparations for being sent out, but in the end he stayed. Tang Rong, who had been in Beijing all the time, was sent out.
What can be said about this? Tang Gang picked up the exchanges between the two families. Although there were still some grudges, they returned to a superficially harmonious life based on the principle of mutual assistance.
"I'm going to go talk to your sister."

Mrs. Tao stood up, and Li, who was about to get up, sat down again steadily. For her, as long as Tao Yiran didn't act like a troublemaker, she had no problem with him.
The old lady in the mansion is really dying. She knows that her mother-in-law has been looking forward to it and has secretly done something. She just pretends not to know and waits for the result.
Xin An watched the whole process without saying anything. Tao Yiran had already fulfilled her role today. It was normal for the mother and daughter to talk to each other. They had met all the people they were supposed to meet.
In Chunhua Courtyard, Madam Tao took a good look at Tao Yiran and asked, "How is it? Did they treat you badly?"
It was really shameful to come back from the Tao family, and when I came back I got into trouble with that plague god Zhu You. After all, she was my own daughter, how could I just ignore her?
Tao Yiran's eyes were red, and Madam Tao subconsciously believed that she must have suffered in the Marquis's Mansion, and she scolded Wang without knowing the truth. Aunt Liu quickly said, "Madam, the young lady did not suffer in the Marquis's Mansion. You can tell from her complexion that she just misses you."
Tao Yiran said: "It's been a long time since my mother came. I thought she had completely given up on her daughter."
Mrs. Tao took Tao Yiran and talked about what happened in the Tao family a few months ago. The old lady and she were fighting, and the mansion was in chaos. "I originally took some time to come and see you, but your father and your father-in-law were stubborn, and you also know the attitude of your mother-in-law. I'm sorry for you."
