Chapter 614 Extra 8
"It's just a snack, why are you unwilling to do that?"
Lin Yao came in with a smile on her face. The two brothers came forward and bowed, "Greetings, Aunt Lin. I hope you are well."
"Ouch, this is"
Lin Yao was curious and amazed. Xin An smiled and said, "I've been learning etiquette recently. I'm in the mood. Now I have to greet everyone I meet."
"Why is it so popular?"
Lin Yao asked someone to bring up the snacks she brought, and also said that she brought some shortbread, "Your mother's favorite, it's still warm now, ask your mother if she can have one?"
Seeing that the two brothers were about to bow again, he quickly raised his hand and said, "You should thank your Aunt Lin, and then each of you can have one, and you can eat the rest slowly."
After waiting for the two brothers to carry their plates to eat, Lin Yao sat down and asked, "Why do you have to teach me the rules?"
"It's time to teach them, or they will become wild."
Lin Yao knew that Tang Mo loved his children to no end. She turned her head and looked at the two brothers who were different from the last time she saw them. "They have changed a lot."
Xin An smiled and said that Tang Mo was no longer the Tang Mo of the past. Everything had changed now, and the children had naturally changed as well.
"He just didn't get what he wanted before, so he always wanted to make up for it with his children. It's inevitable that he lost some sense of propriety. Now he is a majestic and capable father."
Lin Yao smiled while pinching her handkerchief, and said that she came here specially to express her gratitude, "I just came out of the palace, and the Empress asked me to manage Qianjin Hall. Was it you who suggested this?"
Xin An said, "I have been feeling better recently. I went to the palace to pay my respects yesterday, and it happened that the Queen mentioned this matter. I thought, if we talk about who knows the Qianjin Hall the most and is the most attentive, who else could it be except my sister Lin?"
"Besides, if this matter falls on Sister Lin, I can also benefit from it. It's not a big deal."
Lin Yao smiled happily, knowing that Xin An didn't tell the truth, but the relationship between their two families didn't need to be made too clear. "You've really helped me a lot. You don't know how many people laughed at me and said I lost my power because of that person."
"Those people are just jealous. They hate you for being poor and are afraid that you will become rich. In short, they are afraid that you will live better than them. They don't think that our survival is not based on this."
"That's right. I have my parents' family and my husband's family. I can live a good life even if I do nothing."
Lin Yao was also furious. Those people couldn't wait to take action before she had done anything. Some of them were people close to her. If she really fell into misery, she didn't know how they would ridicule her.
"Now that I have the privilege of entering the palace at any time, won't those people be furious if they know about this?"
As he spoke, he laughed again, and began to mutter to Xin An about the interesting things that happened outside the mansion recently. In the evening, he talked a lot in front of Yan Shimao, and finally said, "It is worth associating with such people. If you help her, she will remember it in her heart, and will also help you when you need it. Helping each other is much better than those who only know how to take benefits and run away when they see you are weak."
Yan Shimao listened to him happily. Now their life is getting better and better, especially after Tang Mo inherited the title. "Next month I will go to the Ministry of Industry to take up a post. Although I haven't been promoted, my responsibilities and powers will be much greater."
"Second brother Tang helped."
Tang Mo not only succeeded in inheriting the title, but also had some merit in following the emperor. Although he was not a favorite of the emperor, he was also someone the emperor liked, which made it easier for him to get things done.
Lin Yao was stunned for a moment, then laughed even more happily.
One month before Xin An gave birth, she received two large boxes and a letter from Huaijiang. Mrs. Xin had to take care of Zhou Yutan at home and could not come to take care of her when she gave birth. She had asked Second Aunt Xin to look after her at the time and asked her not to worry.
Xin An was helpless, "Mom, too, why would I worry about this."
Regardless of the fact that his pregnant daughter-in-law had traveled all the way to Beijing to take care of his own daughter who was giving birth to her second child, he would not allow her to come to Xin'an even if she wanted to. The grudge during the confinement period was a big grudge that would be remembered for a lifetime.
"It's understandable that your mother didn't come. Everything about the birth has been arranged. Don't worry."
Wang is such a rare good mother-in-law. Xin An held her hand and said, "I have mother to help me with everything. I don't have to worry about anything. It's just that my cousin's marriage will be hard for mother."
The old lady's great-niece Zhou Min is getting married in half a month. Tang Mo is the matchmaker, and the man is Zhang Xiaohanlin's youngest son.
This Zhang family is not the Zhang family of General Zhang. They are a legitimate scholarly family. When Tang Mo first arrived at Beiya Army, he had dealings with the Zhang family because of the demolition of houses to expand the market. The youngest son of Zhang Xiaohanlin is also a scholar and a very upright person. The old lady's family can barely be considered a family of farming and reading. Zhou Min is quiet and respectful. She has been serving the old lady since she came to the capital. She is very attentive and the old lady likes her the most.
"What's so hard about it? Although you are getting married as a cousin of the Marquis's mansion, everything is arranged by the Zhou family. Your grandmother's family is really impressive. They are thorough and tactful, and they are quite proud."
There was an old lady in the marquis's mansion. If other families had come to seek refuge long ago, they would have brought their families with them. However, the Zhou family rarely came except to send New Year gifts, and they were very particular. The old lady was already the most honorable person in the marquis's mansion, and her natal family still sent her food and flowers every year, without interruption.
In the past two years, several younger generations have come and brought more food and flowers, making them more appealing than the Tang family.
After all, the Tang family came here with a clear purpose, which was to take advantage of the Marquis' Mansion and get support from it.
"I also admire the Zhou family very much. They are honest, capable, and trustworthy."
The couple is close to the Zhou family, and with their help, the Zhou family has grown further in the past two years. But even so, apart from gaining more knowledge, the Zhou family has not changed their way of doing things and are not impetuous at all.
In comparison, the Xin family members have become much more impetuous than before. I heard that her father got angry at the clan meeting this year and punished several people.
When she talked about this, she stood up and said that she had prepared some makeup for Zhou Min and asked Wang to help arrange it.
The dowry given to Zhou Min was thicker than that given to Tang Quan'er. After all, the old lady had given her so much, and she would naturally not be stingy when it came to the marriage of her dear niece.
The next morning, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law brought their dowries to Chunrong Hall. Zhou Min had been living here and did not move out even when she was getting married. The old lady thought that her niece-granddaughter would appear more noble if she married from her yard.
"Why so many? This is too much."
Mrs. Zhou looked at the two large boxes, happy and polite. The Zhou family was not short of these things, but this represented their attitude. Xin An smiled and said, "It's not too much. If I wasn't worried that it would be too eye-catching, I would want to send more."
"My cousin has been serving my grandmother since she came to the capital, which has made me lazy. I treat her as my own sister, and my cousin is so gentle and docile. I am afraid she will be bullied if I don't give her enough."
