Chapter 226 Our Daughter Is Not Bad
"Mom! The capital is so big!" The girl's sweet voice came from the carriage.
"Shuyao, don't stick your head out of the window, or you might get hurt." The woman didn't try to stop him, but her tone was helpless.
"Mom, no, I'm watching, you won't hit your head."
The people having the conversation were Tang Shuyao and Lin.
Tang Laosan was also in the carriage. Tang Qingshu was asked to stay in the academy to study, so only the three of them went to Beijing. The rest stayed at home to take care of the business.
The fruit trees on the back hill, the watermelons in the fields and the workshop all need someone to look after them.
However, Lin and his companions did not decide to come here on a whim, but because some of the sauce in the workshop was ready, they brought it to the capital.
Tang San looked worried, "How come that kid Jin is the heir of the Marquisate?"
Lin glared, "What's wrong? You really hope that Jin is an orphan. When he marries our daughter in the future, how tiring it will be without anyone to help him?"
"That's not what I meant. I'm just worried about my daughter and his identity. They are so different..."
"What's the difference? Is our daughter so bad? Our daughter is pretty and can do business. She can open a workshop to make money. So what if Jin boy is the prince? Our daughter is worthy of him."
Tang Lao San couldn't argue with Lin, so he could only keep quiet.
Tang Shuyao next to her was no longer surprised. During the few days' journey to the capital, her parents would argue every day about whether her sister and brother-in-law were a good match for each other. She had already developed calluses on her ears.
The carriage driver was hired by Tang Laosan in Linjiang Town. He didn't know the exact location of Wu'an Marquis Mansion, and neither did Tang Laosan and his companions, so they could only ask along the way.
Lin was silent for a while, then couldn't help but speak, "When you see my daughter later, you can't say these words in front of her, so as not to hurt her feelings."
She knew Tang Lao San's worries, but as a mother, she knew that her daughter liked Xie Changjin, so no matter what, she would stand on her daughter's side.
If Jin boy dislikes her daughter, she will...
Alas! What could she do?
Tang San nodded sullenly, "I know, I'm not stupid."
We are all parents, and our feelings for our children are the same.
"Don't always look so sad, your daughter will be worried when she sees you."
Tang Lao San immediately grinned, "Is this okay?"
Tang Shuyao watched her parents interacting, sighed helplessly, and continued to lie by the window looking at the street scenery outside.
Lin also took a look and said, "I never thought in my life that I would be able to come to such a prosperous place as the capital. This life is worth it."
"Mom, Shuyao is learning business from your second sister, and I will buy you a big house in the capital in the future."
"Okay! Mother is waiting for our Shuyao to earn money and buy a big house to live in."
The three of them were chatting and laughing, and soon the carriage came to a stop.
"You two, the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion is ahead. I'm afraid our carriage can't pass through." The coachman's legs were shaking, and he didn't dare to move forward.
Lin was the first to lift the curtain and get out of the carriage. Tang Lao San followed behind, paid the driver the silver, and then took down the jar of soy sauce he had brought.
"What are you doing! This is not a place for outsiders to stay, leave now!"
The three were about to knock on the door, but the guard at the door held up a spear and stopped them, "Leave quickly."
Tang Shuyao shrank behind Lin in fear.
Lin patted her chest and said, "Sir, I came from Linjiang Town to look for Tang Qiyue. I am her mother."
Everyone in the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion knew the name of the future Crown Prince's wife. Although Lin's clothes were not tattered, she did not look wealthy at all. The guards looked at each other, and one of them prepared to go into the mansion to report.
At this time, a carriage slowly drove over.
"Mom! Dad! Why are you in the capital?" The person in the carriage was Tang Qiyue. She had just gone out of the house to see how the shop was being renovated. She felt uneasy as she watched. When she came back, she saw her parents and younger sister being stopped by guards at the gate of Wu'an Marquis' Mansion. She quickly spoke up.
"July!"
"Second sister!"
The guard bowed to Tang Qiyue, who waved his hand and led Lin and Tang Lao San into the Wu'an Marquis Mansion. As for the jars of soy sauce they brought with them, they were carried in.
"You haven't told me yet why you suddenly came to the capital? And you didn't even write me a letter?" Tang Qiyue had a puzzled look on her face, with a hint of complaint in her tone.
"Second sister, mom and dad said they want to give you a surprise, hehe." Tang Shuyao hugged Tang Qiyue's arm tightly and acted coquettishly.
Tang Qiyue tapped her nose.
Lin held Tang Qiyue's hand and said, "Mom is worried about you. I can't sleep unless I see you are well."
"Don't you know that when your eldest brother read the letter to us, mother was so scared that she almost fainted? How could you hide such a big thing from us for so long, Jin boy?" There was complaint in her tone, but no anger.
Tang Qiyue felt guilty, "I was afraid that you and Dad would worry, so I didn't tell you at the beginning."
"And when did you know that?"
Tang Qiyue coughed lightly, "It was the day before Jinniang came home."
"So you kept it a secret from me and your mother for several months?" Tang San's face darkened. He stared at Tang Qiyue for a long time and finally sighed heavily, "Are you afraid that your parents will not agree?"
"I guess so." Mainly because I was afraid of scaring them.
"You and Jin kid both have Zhaobao, so mom and dad won't object. But if Jin kid bullies you and despises your status, then mom and dad will definitely not agree."
As she spoke, Lin's eyes turned red.
Tang Qiyue's eyes also became hot. How could she be so worthy to have such good parents?
"Where's Zhaobao? Why haven't I seen the child for so long?" When Tang Laosan was puzzled, Song Wanyu learned the news and brought Zhaobao over from the backyard, accompanied by Xie Changjin.
Lin and Tang Lao San looked at each other, and took Tang Shuyao to greet the two of them quickly.
Xie Changjin felt like he was facing a formidable enemy and quickly dodged to the side.
Song Wanyu quickly spoke up to stop them, "No, no, no, I'm just a mother, why are you bowing to me?"
Lin shook her head, "You are the wife of the Marquis. We didn't know the rules before, but now that we know, we have to be polite."
With so many servants watching him, he still had to bow.
Tang Qiyue looked at her parents and little sister in surprise. It seemed that they had learned the etiquette on the spur of the moment.
"Oh, no, no, no, we are relatives!" Song Wanyu winked at Xie Changjin, who hurried to support the two of them.
Zhaobao took his short legs and threw himself into Lin's arms, "Grandma and Grandpa, Zhaobao misses you so much. Why haven't you come to see Zhaobao for so long?"
"Don't you miss your aunt, Zhaobao?" Tang Shuyao was feeling very jealous.
Zhaobao crawled into Tang Shuyao's arms again, "Yes! Zhaobao misses auntie too."
The originally depressing atmosphere was eased a lot by Zhao Bao's childish words.
