Chapter 2398: A Group of Mothers-in-Law

In the inner courtyard, because many ladies and children came, Wu ordered people to put up a curtain in front of the hall, and then burned several large pots of charcoal fire, which was quite warm.

A group of ladies are sitting. From the arrangement of the seats, one can see their superiority and inferiority, as well as their closeness and distance.

As the host, Mrs. Wu naturally sat at the top, followed by Xu Jingchang's wife on the left and Zhu Yong's woman on the right.

Zhang Shuhui was sitting under Xu Jingchang's wife. As a half-owner, this position was extremely appropriate and not objectionable.

Wu ordered people to call Tudou in, and then said to the ladies with shining eyes: "You are keeping an eye on this, but the child is not an adult yet, so don't scare him."

Those ladies don't care about this. They just want to see the eldest son of the Fang family up close and use their 'excellent' eyes to see if this child has a future.

Nowadays, there are many good sons-in-law to look for. Children from rich and powerful families are either playful or dull. There are a few who are flexible, but they have learned about the relationship between men and women early, and they often change women around them.

Naturally, a powerful woman would not have the idea of ​​​​waiting for her husband's exclusive favor, but Tudou was not even taken to Qin Tower by the sons of the King of Han, and the King of Han caught him himself. This shows that the Fang family has a good upbringing in this regard.

Fang Xing's eldest son, the future Xing Hebo, and has a very good relationship with the royal family...

The key is that Tudou is very motivated and has never heard anything bad about him.

Such a person is the son-in-law who rides a dragon in the eyes of the mother-in-law. Normally you can't see Tudou when you go to Fang's house, but today is a rare opportunity!

Then everyone looked at Zhang Shuhui with more gentleness in their eyes.

Zhang Shuhui was also helpless. She didn't want Tudou to come in, but these ladies just took the opportunity to make a fuss, and Wu had no choice.

Later, a maid came in from outside to report that potatoes were here.

The ladies immediately sat upright, staring at the curtained entrance.

When Tudou bowed his head slightly and walked in, countless scorching eyes stared at him.

If it hadn't been for the fact that he had spoken on stage as a student representative many times, Tudou would have been almost unbearable from the stares.

He walked in calmly, without squinting. When he reached Mrs. Wu, he bowed and said, "My aunt has been working hard today, and I don't know if Wuyou will cause any trouble to her."

His eyes swept across Zhang Shuhui's face, and when he saw that his mother's expression was as usual, he smiled a little.

What a wonderful boy!

As soon as he came in, he asked his sister first, and also expressed his condolences to his aunt Wu. As soon as his eyes turn, he will watch his words and expressions to see if his mother is angry.

How about such a son, no, such a son-in-law?

The ladies' eyes were flying wildly, and Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "You are just worrying so much. With me and your mother here, how could Wuyou be bullied?"

At this time, a lady with no suitable girl in her family said: "Oh! Who in this capital doesn't know that Uncle Xinghe dotes on his daughters! Apart from other things, I just saw a group of children playing around Wuyou! It can be seen that they are all afraid of Xing He Bo.”

These words were a bit harsh. Zhang Shuhui raised her eyebrows and prepared to speak, but Tudou turned sideways and held her hand.

He did not look at the noble lady and appeared extremely polite, but his words were aggressive.

"My sister is naive, but she has been kind-hearted since she was a child. She also knows how to play with new friends. She has never heard of her taking advantage of her power to pressure others. Otherwise, no matter how pampered my father is, he will not indulge. After all, spoiling a child is like killing a child. This saying It’s also suitable for my daughter.”

Tudou slightly raised his head and looked into the void, and continued: "My father often uses these words to warn my brothers and sisters. Even in the village, my sister can take the daughters of the villagers to play, so what you just said about using your power to overwhelm others, I'm afraid It’s just a matter of dazzling your eyes.”

Zhang Shuhui had just gritted her teeth and prepared to have a serious meeting with this lady, and she was even ready to fall out.

If Wuyou bullies others with power, how can Wuyou get married in the future?

Zhang Shuhui was so angry that her teeth itched with hatred, but Tudou's hidden words left the lady speechless. She could only say sarcastically: "Yes, I must have been dazzled just now."

Tudou smiled and said: "My sister is still young, it was just a small misunderstanding.

I don't think it will be spread by malicious speculation. "

good!

Wu's eyes shone brightly and she almost couldn't help but cheer loudly.

And those noble ladies were also anxious and quickly figured out who in the family was worthy of potatoes.

Tudou just made the noble lady bow her head in a subtle way, and then just when everyone thought he was gentle and could only talk sense, he changed the topic and made a threat.

If there are bad words about my sister spread in the capital in the future, then we are not done!

These words were very domineering, and they directly made this lady half an enemy.

If you dare to talk nonsense about my sister's reputation today, I will knock on your door tomorrow!

The noble ladies looked at the potato with a straight back with dazzling eyes, with various thoughts in their minds.

This is the magnanimity of the younger one!

Even though these people secretly said that Fang Xing was a vengeful man, who wouldn't want his husband to be like this?

But you have to dare!

And Fang Xing had the confidence. As for Tudou...

After Fang Xing starts teaching the prince, is there any need to worry about the future of the Fang family?

The lady originally thought that Zhang Shuhui would come forward, but the two families had no friendship at all, and were even a little bit dirty, so a few insinuations were nothing.

In such banquets, each family is divided into places according to their grievances, and ridicule is indispensable. This is also an instinct of women.

Even if Zhang Shuhui came forward to refute, it would be nothing more than open and covert attacks. After that, the two families would still go their separate ways and would not turn into enemies over this.

But who would have thought that Tudou would take the lead.

This kid, outside, is said to be generous and steady, but today, he is extremely protective, just like his shameless father!

Wu smiled and said, "This kid is a little young, but he cares for his sister just like his father. You won't be angry, will you?"

Zhang Shuhui couldn't say anything at this moment. She just glanced at the noble lady. Seeing her smiling face, she was thinking about how to get back the favor.

The noble ladies agreed, and the atmosphere became lively again.

Tu Dou was about to go back, and Zhang Shuhui said, "You go and take care of them. There is no need to worry about your sister."

Tu Dou bowed and said, then took his leave from Wu.

After he left, the atmosphere became even more lively. The noble ladies began to get close to Zhang Shuhui, and they were all trying to test the Fang family's attitude towards Tu Dou's marriage.

"Madam Xinghe, the eldest son is very handsome. What kind of daughter-in-law are you going to find?"

The noble lady who asked the question was sincere, and she almost made her attitude clear.

Zhang Shuhui smiled and said, "My husband has always said that children can only get married when they are 18, so it's too early for Tudou."

The noble lady knew that this was perfunctory, so she said, "You can arrange it first and get married when you are 18. Otherwise, other girls would not dare to wait until they are 17 or 18."

This made sense, and the noble ladies began to make a fuss, wishing they could see Zhang Shuhui arrange Tudou's marriage right away.

It was impossible to arrange it, but the excitement was something you couldn't miss.

Zhang Shuhui knew this mentality, so she smiled and said, "We women in the boudoir have a narrow vision, so we just need to take care of the family. As for such a big thing as a daughter-in-law, it must be the men who worry about it."

This seems to compare men to women, but it is the truth at this time.

The marriages of the powerful are often not simple, and most of them will become some kind of compromise of power, or some kind of connection.

In this regard, it is obvious that men have a clearer understanding and know the interests.

A noblewoman covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "Yes, the vision of Xinghe Bo is first-class."

At this time, everyone remembered that Fang Xing had helped Zhu Zhanji to look for Hu Shanxiang, and he said with certainty that this was a woman who could be the mother of the country.

But what about now?

The news in the palace has never been a dry well with a lid on it. The outside world naturally knows that the emperor and the empress are not in harmony, and they are just barely maintaining it for the sake of the two children.

So their eyes flew around again, mostly with ridicule.

Zhang Shuhui naturally knew what they were ridiculing, but she just smiled.

At this time, a noblewoman asked: "Madam Xinghe Bo, there is another young master in the mansion, do you have any plans?"

This is to ask about Ping'an's marriage.

Zhang Shuhui laughed and said: "Ping'an is younger, and he will go out to open a mansion in the future. My husband said that his daughter-in-law should be cautious and must be able to manage the family."
