Chapter 153: An Appointment
The next day, the Queen Mother followed the rules and sent a message to Mrs. Zhou, saying that she would go to the teahouse to listen to books in the afternoon.
I originally wanted to visit him, but it’s not a good idea to visit him rashly. Now I go to the teahouse, where I can drink tea and chat. If I feel embarrassed, I can also listen to a book, and the two children are also there to make love.
, which is also appropriate.
"Er Xi, go ahead. After handing it over to someone else, you wait outside the door and come back after receiving a reply." the Queen Mother ordered.
Erxi is smart and good-looking, which makes it easier to go out and do errands.
Er Xi received the order and hurriedly took the post and went out to do errands.
He may not know about other people's family, but probably no one in the town does not know about Mayor Zhou's family!
Erxi parked the donkey cart aside, then knocked on the door. The person who opened the door was a boy, so he asked him what happened.
"I am a servant of the Changlefang Prince's Palace. My wife wrote a greeting note and asked me to deliver it to Mrs. Zhou Zhou." Erxi said respectfully.
"Then wait a minute and I'll ask our wife."
"That's troublesome, brother." Erxi smiled and nodded.
After the boy entered the room, he reported the matter. After hearing this, Mrs. Lin was a little surprised. Wang Dahu's mother asked her out?
"You let him in!"
"Hello, madam, this is my wife's greeting card." Er Xi was very respectful and looked attentively when he came in. Although he was a little nervous, he must not disgrace the Wang family!
Mrs. Lin smiled politely, took the invitation, opened it and looked at it.
She didn't expect that Mrs. Wang's handwriting was good, and her posts were also very beautiful. This first impression must be better!
The post said that if she had time, she would be invited to the teahouse to learn about books. Mrs. Lin smiled, saying this teahouse is a good place.
"Go back and tell your wife that I will be there on time." Mrs. Lin said with a smile.
This person took the initiative to make an appointment. I guess I heard that the book was superficial, and the main reason was to talk to her about Yan Yan and Wang Dahu! She had originally intended to talk about this matter, but now that the husband's family took the initiative, it fulfilled this etiquette.
"Yes, the younger one will take his leave." Erxi said goodbye with a smile.
When he arrived outside the gate, Erxi let out a breath. He was still a little nervous. After all, it was the mayor's house!
Erxi drove the donkey cart home and quickly reported to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother also breathed a sigh of relief and agreed.
It was confirmed that we were leaving in the afternoon, so the Queen Mother hurriedly looked for clothes. This meeting was also the first meeting between the elders of the two parties, so it had to be more formal.
Before lunch, the Queen Mother asked the small kitchen to prepare some snacks. This recipe was given by Yang Yatou. Although the taste of the cook was a bit inferior, it was definitely much more delicious than the ones she had outside.
When you meet for a meeting, you have to bring some small gifts no matter what!
For lunch, the Queen Mother specially asked the kitchen to be prepared in advance. She had to eat early, change clothes after eating, and then go early. At least she could not let anyone wait for her.
"Why did you eat so early today?" After Wang Fu returned, he hadn't even sat down yet when he noticed that the cook was starting to serve the food.
"I have to eat early. I have an appointment with Mrs. Zhou in the afternoon, but I can't be more formal. At least I should go early." The Queen Mother had already started eating.
"If I haven't come back yet, are you not going to wait for me?" Wang Fu's face was full of black lines.
"What are you waiting for? The kitchen can cook it at any time. You won't be without food when you come back." The Queen Mother said with peace of mind.
"Look at how anxious you are, the teahouse hasn't even started yet! Who can go there at noon?" Wang Fu said.
He didn't dare to complain about his wife not waiting for him, so he could only talk about the tea house.
"I didn't say I'd go right after dinner! I have to change my clothes after dinner!" The Queen Mother looked sideways at the King's Father.
"Hey, Madam, she looks good no matter what she wears. She doesn't need to change her clothes." The king's father said flatteringly.
"When I meet Zhou Yatou's elders for the first time, I have to be more formal. I can't let people think that we don't take him seriously!"
You can't look like a country bumpkin, nor be too simple, nor too luxurious, but be dignified and dignified.
When the Queen Mother is at home, she likes to dress casually. She only wears a bracelet when it comes to jewelry. Now when she goes out, she has to bring some jewelry.
The Queen Mother tidied up a little, and then asked Erxi to drive the donkey cart to take her to the teahouse with snacks and some snacks such as nuts and dried fruits that Dada had brought back.
"You watch here, and I'll wait upstairs. When Mrs. Zhou arrives, you can bring her up."
"Yes, madam." Erxi agreed.
The Queen Mother arrived earlier. At this time, there were only a few people in the lobby and no one upstairs.
"Madam, do you want anything?" The waiter came over with a smile and asked.
"Just bring me a pot of good tea. There will be others in a while, so we'll talk about it then."
"Okay, madam, sit here." The waiter said with a smile.
The Queen Mother waited for the tea to arrive, poured a cup, and waited while drinking tea.
Mrs. Lin came neither early nor late. Since she mentioned listening to books, she would come back at that point. As Yan Yan's aunt, she had to be a little more reserved.
Mrs. Lin also came in a donkey cart. After getting off the cart, she saw the boy from the Wang family.
Erxi had to wait for someone, so he had to stand in a conspicuous place, and then look in that direction and wait. When he saw the donkey cart coming, he ran over quickly.
"Mrs. Zhou, my wife is waiting upstairs! I will take you up." Erxi said with a smile.
"Okay." Lin nodded.
Lin was a little surprised when she saw the Queen Mother. The Wang family ran a gambling house. Although she didn't mind it very much, the first impression in her mind was that they were a carefree family.
The last time I saw the handwriting written by Mrs. Wang, it was a kind of majestic writing style. People say that the writing is like the person. Lin always guessed that Mrs. Wang would be the kind of woman with a somewhat chivalrous spirit.
As a result, Mrs. Wang actually looked like the kind of bright and pretty woman. If I had to describe her, she would look like a proud cat, lazy and beautiful.
The Queen Mother saw a woman a few steps away and looked at her. She looked about thirty years old and had a very charming look. The Queen Mother guessed in an instant that this must be Mayor Zhou's wife.
"Mrs. Zhou, come and sit quickly." The Queen Mother stood up and greeted her quickly.
Seeing the Queen Mother smiling sincerely at her, Mrs. Lin also smiled slightly, and then walked towards that position.
"Mrs. Wang." Mrs. Lin greeted.
After the two greeted each other politely, the Queen Mother called the waiter over, took away the tea she ordered earlier, and ordered a new pot. You can't give the leftovers to others!
"Mrs. Zhou, what do you like to eat? We want some." Queen Mother asked.
"I can do it, Mrs. Wang just keep an eye on it!" Mrs. Lin said with a smile.
"Then I'll order it by the way."
The Queen Mother ordered a new pot of tea, several plates of melon seeds with different flavors, and several plates of snacks.
The storyteller outside has already started, and there are people cheering in the lobby below.
"I really like listening to books and listening to operas. Our big tiger probably inherited this from me, and he also likes listening to this."
The Queen Mother poured Mrs. Lin a cup of tea, then smiled and started the conversation.
"I'm okay. I'm quite boring. I just like to read books and do needlework. It's quite fun to listen to this once in a while." Mrs. Lin also said with a smile.
"Hey! I'm a very stupid person. I can only make do with needlework, but I can't do reading. In our family, only our youngest son loves reading, but the rest of us are not good at it. They are all just rough people..."
The Queen Mother covered her mouth and said with a smile.
She was telling the truth, but she wasn't afraid that Mrs. Lin would have a bad impression of their family, because she had inquired about it and found out that Zhou Yatou didn't like reading either.
"It's just a personal hobby. There's no such thing as being a rude person. Our Yan Yan is a girl who doesn't like to read. She only likes to listen to books. If she has to read, then reading a storybook is almost the same..."
They have similar interests. That girl Yan Yan is good at everything, but she doesn't like reading and is not very proficient in needlework. Most of the well-connected families like girls who are knowledgeable, courteous and good at needlework.
She used to be afraid that because of this, Yanyan would be disliked by her husband's family if she married.
It seems pretty good now. The Wang family is also a wealthy family. Although gambling houses don't sound very nice, their family is not that vulgar.
Mrs. Wang loves these things herself. She also said she doesn't like needlework, which is the same as Yan Yan. She won't say she dislikes her in the future, but they have the same interests and hobbies. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will definitely not be bad.
"To tell you the truth, I just like this kind of girl. With my temperament, I hope that my son will marry a wife with similar interests and hobbies. In the future, both of us, my daughter-in-law and I, can have something to say. Otherwise,
, I am also afraid that if a girl marries into our family, she will think that my mother-in-law is vulgar, and if she is not satisfied, she will definitely not be happy!"
The Queen Mother talked to Mrs. Lin for a while, and she made Mrs. Lin laugh several times. She had a very good impression of the Queen Mother. She was cheerful and generous, and she did not mince words when speaking, but she was very sophisticated about people and etiquette.
Well done too.
The Queen Mother has a cheerful personality. After a few words, when she talked about her age, she realized that she was a few years older than Mrs. Lin, and she laughed and talked about the compatibility of sisters.
"To be honest, sister, I came here this time to apologize to you. My brat, his father and I didn't teach him much on weekdays, so he really didn't understand the ways of the world. What he did this time was not good.
That's right, I'm afraid that what he did will have a bad impact on that girl Yan Yan..."
The conversation was almost finished, and the Queen Mother felt that Mrs. Zhou didn't have a bad impression of their family, so she took the initiative to talk about the reason for inviting her over this time.
Chapter completed!
