After going back and forth, Aunt Liu found that the eldest lady was not as difficult to contact as she had imagined, and she gradually relaxed.
Tang Zhengrong was still a little worried about Aunt Liu during the journey. He glanced around and saw that Aunt Liu was joking with the eldest lady and felt relieved.
"Don't worry, my mother is a very good person."
Of course, Tang Zhengrong's little move was caught by Tang Yanzhi.
In her heart, this girl seemed to be pretending to many people in the Duke's palace, and it was only her mother who could make Tang Zhengrong's expression change.
"It seems that the eldest lady is easy to talk to, so you don't have to work harder."
These words were profound. Tang Zhengrong did not believe that Tang Yanzhi could not feel the ambition of the second lady.
"As I said, there is a father in the house, so there is no need to worry about these things."
Tang Yanzhi smiled bitterly at Tang Zhengrong's obvious words. His mother's character was flawed, but the stability of the back house was more important to his father, so he couldn't do anything based on the balance.
"At first glance, it's the young master. How long has it been since I picked so many of them?"
Sensing Tang Yanzhi's emotional disappointment, Tang Zhengrong dropped the topic, and the two started competing again to see who could pick it faster.
Amidst the noise of play, it soon came to dusk. When Tang Zhengrong returned home, he saw that Aunt Liu was in a happy mood.
"I didn't expect that the eldest lady and I would talk to each other so well. This time we got so many grapes."
Saying that, Aunt Liu shaved the bridge of Tang Zhengrong's nose. Seeing her mother so happy, Tang Zhengrong felt happy from the bottom of her heart.
"Mom, we have a family dinner to prepare tomorrow."
"Seeing that you are so excited, don't miss it when it's time to rest."
Aunt Liu was reminded that Tang Zhengrong was still wary of Tang Yanzhi. As for the eldest lady, although she didn't take care of things very much, she had seen her tricks in the mansion for so many years.
People's hearts have been unpredictable since ancient times.
"Fortunately, you reminded me."
Listening to Tang Zhengrong's words, Aunt Liu hurriedly called out: "Chunqin, take out Zhengrong's clothes and mine first, we will use them tomorrow."
As he spoke, he took out the hairpin he bought at the market from his arms. He saw some changes in the patterns and embellishments on it, and looked at Aunt Liu in confusion.
"Although the things in the market are good, they are a bit demeaning. My mother doesn't have anything valuable. It would be good to change the shape of this thing and change its meaning."
I'm afraid no one knows the rules in the palace better than Aunt Liu. In everything she does, Aunt Liu always wants to make mistakes in her heart.
Putting the hairpin away, Tang Zhengrong felt deeply in his heart. What appeared in front of him at night was Aunt Liu's eyes full of her.
In this world, it would be nice to have such a being, who would not become emotionless just for the pursuit of survival and fame and wealth, but Tang Zhengrong also knew in his heart that Aunt Liu would definitely become her weakness.
But so what?
At the family banquet, Tang Zhengrong and Aunt Liu were dressed in the same aqua blue. Tang Zhengrong's clothes did not have too many lengthy designs and could walk, run and jump flexibly, but the delicate orchids on them were very eye-catching. This skill was not something that the embroiderers in the house could do.
Even Tang Guogong noticed the lifelike embroidery work.
When he was sitting with the eldest lady, he couldn't help but look at Aunt Liu. The aqua blue clothes were sparkling and sparkling, complementing Aunt Liu's snow-white skin. The elegance on her face was like the refreshing snow lotus on the iceberg. Just looking at it made her feel happy.
It is pleasing to the eye.
Noticing the master's gaze, the eldest lady couldn't help but praise him.
"Mrs. Liu's craftsmanship is very good. It seems that all the materials she gave her a few days ago were used to make clothes for the two of them. I think Tang Zhengrong is the only one who is so lucky."
These words attracted Duke Tang's attention to the connection between Tang Zhengrong and Aunt Liu's clothes. It was indeed as the eldest lady said. Thinking of the abstract auspicious cloud pattern embroidered by his daughter for him, Duke Tang was a little dumbfounded.
"Of course, the luckiest person is still the master."
Every word of the eldest lady touched upon the most joyful part of Duke Tang, making him feel very good.
Seeing that it was almost time, Tang Guogong raised his wine glass and said, "Since today is a family banquet, you don't have to be too restrained."
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp, and then the scene alternated with singing and dancing, which was beautiful. When Tang Zhengrong and Aunt Liu were sitting, Tang Yanzhi ran over.
"I saw you drinking tea and drawing pictures on a gourd from afar."
After saying this, Tang Zhengrong looked at Tang Yanzhi with an embarrassed look. She had not experienced these scenes very much, so she could not control the details.
"You'd better say something useful. You're going to say something that people don't want to hear at the family dinner."
He was very sharp-eyed, and Tang Zhengrong felt helpless.
"Isn't the reason why I'm telling you this just to teach you?"
With that said, Tang Yanzhi began to teach Tang Zhengrong very seriously, and even talked about tea making techniques.
Mrs. Yu, who was not far away from Aunt Liu, felt unhappy when she saw Tang Zhengrong and Tang Yanzhi being so close.
"Qing Huan, go talk to your brother and learn from Tang Zhengrong."
Seeing someone's child being so proactive, Mrs. Yu felt uncomfortable. She thought about it in her residence and felt that Ms. Liu's success was just the appearance of Tang Zhengrong. Without Tang Zhengrong, how could we be here now?
Under Yu's encouragement, Tang Qinghuan walked over reluctantly. In the past few days, she had listened to her mother scolding Liu and her daughter too many times. She was not happy with the name Tang Zhengrong.
"Brother Yanzhi, can I also learn how to make tea?"
The crisp sound came, attracting Tang Zhengrong's attention. This girl was rarely seen on weekdays.
But as soon as the words came out, Tang Qinghuan intervened between the two of them, blocking Tang Zhengrong's sight. This did not take Tang Zhengrong into consideration, which made Tang Yanzhi unhappy.
As for Nvwazi's hostility, Tang Zhengrong felt it very clearly. Children of this age really showed joy and anger on their faces, but Tang Zhengrong didn't care about it.
"You can study, but it's best not to have other thoughts."
But Tang Yanzhi's answer seemed very indifferent.
Knowing that the banquet was over, Tang Yanzhi was still being disturbed by Tang Qinghuan, but Tang Qinghuan did not feel that Tang Yanzhi was impatient. It was not until the family banquet was over and Tang Zhengrong left with Aunt Liu that Tang Yanzhi spoke to Tang Qinghuan.
"I don't care what your purpose is, if you dare to destroy the relationship between brother and sister, I will never give you a good face!"
This tone was blatant support for Tang Zhengrong. Tang Qinghuan didn't understand why, they were both Tang Yanzhi's sisters, so why did he treat Tang Zhengrong so differently from himself!
When Mrs. Yu returned home, she didn't notice that Tang Qinghuan was not in good mood. She talked about how Tang Zhengrong was trying to live up to his ambition, and was treated differently by the master.
"If you were half as smart as she is, we, mother and daughter, would have a better time."
The words came out, but there was no reply from Mrs. Yu.
"Did you hear that this girl really can't be taught anything?"
When Tang Qinghuan returned home, he happened to see Lin Wanrong at his residence. Lin Wanrong was the youngest daughter of Taifu Lin's family. The two met by chance and they are still having a good time.
