The housekeeper came over and said that tomorrow is Mrs. Wang's birthday. Since it is still during the national mourning period, it is not easy to hold a big event and send no posts, so he invited them to come over and have fun.
Tang Shijin agreed.
Since she rescued Wang Sanniang, the two families have been interacting with each other, and it feels like they have a good relationship with each other, so the next day, she brought all her apprentices with her.
It's just that Hua Shenglin and Si Gutu haven't come back yet, so the only ones following her are Qi Yaoling, Xi Yuanmu and Xu Tianlu.
Tang Shijin found a not-too-exaggerated ginseng from the space as the officiant, and then bought some random gifts. He sent them over on the first day, and on the second day a few people came over empty-handed, making it inconspicuous.
Tang Shijin went in first to see Mrs. Wang, and also saw Wang Sanlang returning with his wife and children. When he turned back, Wang Sanniang also came to salute her.
Tang Shijin was delighted when he saw her: "What's wrong with you? This makeup doesn't look like you anymore?"
Wang Sanniang blushed immediately.
Mrs. Wang laughed softly and said, "I want to imitate you. I keep saying you are good-looking every day and I am so envious."
Tang Shijin smiled and said, "It's not suitable for you."
She quite liked this Wang Sanniang. Her name was Wang Wanru, and her nickname was Youyou. She was so cute, so she said directly: "Yoyou, let me draw one for you."
She called a little maid: "You go out to find Xu Tianlu and tell me that I want a set of cosmetics for someone to put on."
The maid hurriedly went out to talk.
Xu Tianlu was very familiar with the cosmetics of Tangjia Sifang. He got on his horse and went for a trip. He quickly brought a set and delivered it in person.
Tang Shijin washed his hands and gave Wang Sanniang a simple makeup look.
Wang Sanniang is very young, with a baby face, big black eyes, and two small wine holes, which are very sweet. There is really no need to paint Mingyan's picture, but it doesn't look good.
Therefore, the eye shadow and blush were all applied towards the pink side. The result was beautiful and smart, and the eyes were bright and good at gazing. Even Mrs. Wang kept saying: "This is great! I will wear makeup like this in the future!"
Wang Sanniang was also a little surprised. After looking in the mirror for a while, Tang Shijin smiled and said, "Let's go out for a walk."
She took her hand and came out. Over there, Wang Sanlang, Wang Silang and Xu Tianlu were standing together talking. As soon as the little girl ran out, Xu Tianlu's eyes could not turn away.
Wang Wanru also didn't expect that there was a foreigner here. She was stunned for a moment and her face turned red.
But she was a girl who was taught by everyone. Knowing that she was from Tang Shijin's side, she was anxious to see her in person.
Xu Tianlu said incoherently: "No need...no need to be polite." He thought of something else and hurriedly said: "Little lady, you are polite."
Wang Silang was the first to realize something was wrong, and took a step forward calmly: "Hey, go back first."
Wang Wanru's face turned red and she said, "Yes."
He turned around and walked away.
Not only Tang Shijin saw it, but Mrs. Wang also saw it.
Everyone was busy all day, and in the evening, Mrs. Wang talked about this matter with Wang Shenxing.
Wang Wanru was very favored in her family. She originally wanted to keep her for two more years, but even after she got her hair extensions, she kept her without saying goodbye. However, if she wanted to stay for longer, she should pay attention to the marriage.
But Wang Shenxing really didn't think about Tang Shijin at first.
He is an extremely shrewd and understanding person. Even though Tang Shijin was born in a rural area, he is now a dignified prince. Moreover, given her wealth and ability, as long as she does not commit suicide, she will be the glory of her life.
But Xu Tianlu?
Wang Shenxing said thoughtfully: "Xu Tianlu handles business for her, and he will be a merchant all his life."
"So what?" Mrs. Wang thought clearly: "Haven't you heard that the Duke of Guo said that her apprentices are not allowed to take concubines or engage in prostitution for the rest of their lives? This alone is better than countless people! And even if
He is a merchant, and this merchant is different from a merchant. A merchant who does business with the Duke of the State is only a mere name compared to a high-ranking official."
Wang Shenxing said: "You don't know, she is close to the people in the world, and she doesn't pay much attention to the rules in her family."
Mrs. Wang said: "It's nothing, your daughter is also naughty, and I think the Duke likes her very much..." The more she thought about it, the more she thought it was good: "And that Xu Tianlu seems to have a good temper.
"
Wang Shenxing said: "I'll think about it again. Qi Yaoling hasn't gotten married yet, so how could it be his turn."
Tang Shijin didn't know about the conversation between the two.
But she also thought about it seriously.
She did not originally want to marry Xu Tianlu to a daughter from a noble family.
After all, her family really didn't have any rules. She wasn't used to it, and neither were they when a daughter from an aristocratic family came into the house.
But what if it was Wang Shenxing?
Wang Shenxing is a very smart man. Even if he is not in Jiangnan, he will be promoted. There is really nothing wrong with the two families being related by marriage.
But the key is that Xu Tianlu likes it.
She called Xu Tianlu over and asked.
When Xu Tianlu heard this, his face was full of smiles and he couldn't hide his joy.
But early the next morning, he ran over to her and said, "Master, forget it."
Tang Shijin asked: "Why?"
"I thought about it all night." Xu Tianlu said seriously: "We are not from the same place, so it is not appropriate to force ourselves together. She is the daughter of the Governor's Palace, and has accumulated accumulated experience for several generations...Master, I know that the master is very powerful, but the master is very powerful.
It doesn’t mean that I’m great. It’s good if I can learn a little bit from Master. I was born in a poor family, and I only met Master by chance. There are many things and rules that I don’t understand at all, and I’m not used to them, so I think it’s better.
It’s not very appropriate and I’ve wronged my girl.”
Xu Tianlu has a really good temper, but being good also means being gentle. He is the kind of person who is patient, adaptable, and willing to compromise in life.
Coupled with a little inferiority complex, making such a choice is inevitable.
Although this view is not wrong, in reality many people think so and do so.
But Tang Shijin still hopes that he can... be more persistent and more effective.
Tang Shijin said: "Don't you think she's pretty?"
Xu Tianlu said sheepishly: "It looks good...it's really good-looking, but the fit is more important."
Tang Shijin said: "But I think good-looking is very important. Good-looking people will not find it hard even if they are accommodated. Unattractive people will feel unwilling to do things out of responsibility, even if they are correct.
Isn't it difficult to understand even if the case is over? I think 'appropriate' often means cowardice."
Yan Baiwei sat silently and listened to her teaching her disciples.
He really wanted to talk, but he didn't dare to say a word on this matter.
As a result, Tang Shijin did not forget him, and pointed out: "Anyway, if I meet him after Ji Ji, even if he is a god in the sky, I will definitely try my best to get him."
Yan Baiwei: "..."
He just laughed.
Xu Tianlu ate the bowl of dog food helplessly: "A different master."
"What's the difference? Isn't she good enough in your heart for you to fight for and change?"
