Although there was a curfew in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, the curfew was only on the main streets, and Marquis Wu was not too strict in controlling the inner streets.
Today, Dalang of the Pang family and Aunt Xiao's son Pang Baoyan were not at home. They went to play at the house of Panglang Lang's colleague.
Uncle Pang and Uncle Pang also went out to socialize, and it was about Pang Bao's banquet as a money-catching official.
At this time, there were only a few female relatives left in the house. After Lin Wanwan asked about the origins of the ten slaves in the pavilion, she dismissed them and let everyone rest. She also took Xiao Qingyu back to the room to wash up and sleep.
After going to bed, as soon as Xiao Qingyu was settled and put to sleep, Aunt Xiao's maid came to the door and knocked.
It was already night, and I didn’t know what Aunt Xiao wanted to do with me. Could it be that she was going to Xiao Yixun’s house tomorrow?
In fact, Lin Wanwan would rather rent an apartment by herself. Anyway, she really doesn't lack money in Datang. But the habit of people here is to go to relatives, and there are no female relatives to rent a house alone, so Lin Wanwan can only follow the local customs.
I took Hongyan with me and followed Aunt Xiao's maid to her room. As soon as the door curtain was opened, I smelled a strange fragrance.
It turned out to be Aunt Xiao's other personal maid, Xiao Hong, who was scenting the master's clothes in the corner. When she saw Lin Wanwan, she gave her a silent blessing and then continued to work on her own.
"Aunt, it's so late and you haven't rested yet?"
Hongyan looked at Lin Wanwan hesitantly, and when she saw the latter nodded slightly to her, she stood up and left.
If the principal wife has such beauty, Baoyan will no longer be interested in those lowly people, and the family home will be more peaceful, and ridiculous things will not happen so often.
Lin Wanwan still didn't like Datang's tea as always, but she had studied with Cao Xian, a great scholar of the generation, last year, and had been taught the tea ceremony, so she could still show off.
She stopped beating around the bush and said straightforwardly: "Wanwan, my aunt only has one child, your cousin Pang. Your cousin is about the same age as you, and he is talented and good-looking. My aunt feels sorry for you that you are lonely and helpless, so why not marry her and marry her?"
How about being a family? It will be nice to have your aunt and your cousin to care about you in the future."
At this time, Lin Wanwan and Aunt Xiao were the only two people left in the room, and Lin Wanwan had unknowingly lifted her spirits.
"um, yes."
Lin Wanwan walked to the coffee table and knelt down, watching Aunt Xiao making tea, and said, "Aunt, you are really in a good mood."
Lin Wanwan smiled and took the teacup that was only two-thirds full, placed it on the coffee table, and avoided answering: "Thank you, aunt."
Lin Wanwan showed a dull expression: "Ah, Xiao Qingyu is still young, and I am your Majesty's personally appointed Lord of Le'an Township of the fifth rank. Who dares to bully me? Aren't you afraid of being punished?"
Keywords "from the fifth grade", "titled Le'an", "xiangjun"!
Aunt Xiao listened obediently and understood what she meant, and secretly said in her heart that she didn't know what was good or bad!
So what about the village monarch? Without strong parents and relatives, they are just duckweeds without roots and foundation!
Lin Wanwan really didn't feel that Aunt Xiao had this intention before tonight.
Aunt Xiao looked at Lin Wanwan with softer eyes: "Wanwan, I heard your grandma said that you are guarding the family?"
Aunt Xiao's attitude is not good, let's see what she wants to do.
After all, Xiao Qingyu is your adopted child. How can she be as considerate as someone who grew up without you? Besides, she will eventually get married when she grows up. How long can she stay with you?
The person who can spend your life with you will be neither your children nor your parents, but your husband! A family without a well-established man will be bullied."
Why is someone interested in her marriage again? Lin Wanwan was speechless. At the same time, alarm bells rang in her heart, and she had some vague speculations.
Haha, that’s weird! You have ulterior motives, right?
The image of her aunt and cousin Pang Baoyan flashed through Lin Wanwan's mind, and she felt disgusted. This was not inviting her to tea, but inviting her to a urn!
"Thank you for your concern, aunt, but I am not lonely. With little Qingyu by my side, I really won't be lonely at all." Lin Wanwan refused.
These days, she was either worrying about her feelings or trying to weave the details of her life experience in order to cope with the royal interrogation. She had no time to pay attention to anything else.
After Aunt Xiao went through the tea-making process, she poured a cup of tea for Lin Wanwan and said with a smile: "In today's world, if you don't like this, you are a real widow, and the official matchmakers will force you to marry. Wanwan, can you?
Have you ever thought about setting up another marriage?"
"Wanwan, come here quickly, chat with your aunt and have a cup of tea."
Aunt Xiao didn't hear Lin Wanwan's answer and didn't care. Her eyes were very soft and she continued: "Wanwan, you lost your parents when you were young. My aunt is now just like your mother. I really can't bear to let you go."
Watching you die alone."
Aunt Xiao saw Lin Wanwan's clean face glowing faintly under the candlelight. Her long eyelashes were like two fans, her big eyes contained a pool of pure lake water, and there was no trace of self-redness under her straight nose.
She has red lips, and I am very satisfied with her color.
Aunt Xiao also makes tea in Yaxing in the evening, which is really rare.
They are all people who want to integrate into the upper class society of the Tang Dynasty. They need to be able to dance, play polo, and burn incense and make tea.
There was actually quite little nightlife among the women of the Tang Dynasty. The men would go out to socialize and drink, while the women would basically go back to their rooms early to stay alone.
Aunt Xiao put spices into the teapot and waved her hand to the maids in the room: "You all go and wait outside while I talk to my niece."
Moreover, she believed that she and Pang Baoyan were completely unrelated to each other and were really incompatible.
"Ah, aunt, are you serious?"
The maid who was originally guarding the room and Xiao Hong, who was scenting the clothes, put down what they were doing after hearing this, bowed and left.
Aunt Xiao couldn't help but feel a little angry when she saw that Lin Wanwan was not getting enough. She scolded her half-truthfully: "You silly boy, my aunt is doing this for your own good. You are already an old lady in your twenties, so you have to take care of yourself."
Na.
Lin Wanwan took off her boots and entered the house, walking towards the coffee table where Aunt Xiao was.
Pang Baoyan was only as tall as Lin Wanwan and had an average appearance.
Although they only met him a few times, Lin Wanwan had already determined that he was still a mama's boy who didn't care about anything and let his mother decide everything.
For such an obscure person, Lin Wanwan really never thought that he would have anything to do with her. People always have to be self-aware.
I really don’t know where Aunt Xiao got her confidence. Did she think she was an orphan and it would be easy to handle her?
He actually proposes marriage to me on behalf of a dandy who has accomplished nothing and has a concubine, a concubine, and all the maids in the room.
Why is your face so big! After all, I am already a high-ranking and titled country gentleman! How embarrassed am I to propose marriage to such a son!
