The general's wife is too naughty, she starts to flirt with him
Chapter 371 The Inescapable Look
Shan Heng never imagined that the matchmaker his mother arranged for him would be with the Ma family.
Although the Ma family is a military family, they have no foundation. The family's glory all depends on General Ma fighting on the battlefield.
General Ma has a good relationship with his father.
When he was young, Shan Heng had met the three sisters of the Ma family.
When children are looking for a marriage partner, of course they cannot say openly that they are looking for a marriage partner. It all has to be a "chance encounter".
Just like now, Shan Heng followed his mother and "accidentally met" Madam Ma and her second daughter Ma Mingyu in the cloth shop.
So, they politely agreed to go to the Moon Viewing Tower for lunch.
This is the first time that Lou has come to the Moon Viewing Tower after its renovation.
Shopkeeper Zheng enthusiastically led people to the private room on the second floor.
"I have heard that Moon Viewing Tower has many new dishes, but I have never had the chance to come. Today, thanks to Madam Shan, I am able to enjoy the feast." Madam Ma was very polite.
He started praising right away.
Lou quickly replied, "No, no, this Moon Viewing Tower is managed by my eldest daughter-in-law. It is because of her that we have the Moon Viewing Tower today."
Speaking of Song Qingci, Lou was still very satisfied.
"Mrs. Shan is so lucky to have a capable daughter-in-law." Mrs. Ma is very supportive.
If her daughter also married into the General's Mansion, she would be a sister-in-law to the eldest daughter-in-law. Now she would naturally be favored.
"Aci is indeed capable. She is the head of our house now. It's much easier for me." Lou revealed some information calmly.
This surprised Mrs. Ma a little.
If she remembered correctly, this eldest daughter-in-law had been married into the general's mansion for less than a year, and had no children yet, but she had already started to run the household? !
She secretly glanced at her daughter and made some comparisons in her mind.
Ma Mingyu remained silent throughout the whole process except for the initial greeting. She played the role of an obedient lady very well.
Shan Heng would not say anything more, he was just here to be a background board today. He had no right to speak at all.
Manager Zheng knew how to make arrangements. Soon, all the dishes were served in their private room. They were all new dishes that Yinling had recently created.
It became very popular once it was launched.
"Aunt, try this. It's really good." Tang Jiali served the dishes to Lou. She was here today to avoid embarrassment.
If there were only two people of the same age, Ma Mingyu and Shan Heng, it would be too deliberate. So, when going out, Lou also brought Tang Jiali with him.
It also means to let outsiders meet her.
We have to let people know that there is such a cousin in the general's mansion, so that we can talk about marriage.
Lou used all his IQ and EQ to help his children get married.
"Ms. Tang is really considerate, much better than the one in our family." Mrs. Ma still has a good impression of Tang Jiali.
She is good-looking. Although her appearance is not stunningly beautiful, she is worthy of the description of a pretty girl from a small family.
And she was just the right age. Madam Ma thought of her nephew from her mother's side. If she could introduce Miss Tang to her nephew from her mother's side, that would be a great thing.
Ma Mingyu was scolded by his mother and felt very upset.
The look he gave Tang Jiali was somewhat unfriendly. She was just the daughter of a poor family, who had just arrived in the capital and had curried favor with the general's mansion, so she acted in a pretentious manner.
Who are you doing this for? She is the eldest daughter of the Ma family, so she doesn't need to do things that maids and servants do.
Tang Jiali was flattered by the compliment, and then she poured a glass of water for Madam Ma, and then she said slowly, "Madam Ma, you are too kind. I just want to let my aunt have a taste of what I think is good. My aunt is good to me, so I have to repay her."
This statement sounds reasonable at first, but if you think about it carefully, it seems a little off.
Unfortunately, the atmosphere at the scene did not allow them to think deeply.
The two mothers exchanged information about their children, but Lou revealed more.
As the saying goes, bow your head to marry a wife and raise your head to marry a daughter.
The Lou family's current attitude is to be relatively humble.
On the other hand, the two parties seemed to be completely unfamiliar with each other.
Shan Heng was only concerned with eating.
Not to mention, he can eat different delicious food every time he comes to the Moon Viewing Tower. If it weren’t for the wrong occasion today, he would be really happy.
Ma Mingyu was very annoyed.
She didn't understand why her mother brought her here.
The reputation of the General's Mansion was great, but the eldest son of the family had already married. If she married there, she would only be able to marry the youngest son in front of her.
As a younger daughter-in-law, there is no chance for me to be the head of the family.
If she can't manage the household, then why should she get married? She won't get any benefits.
And this Shan Heng can't compare with his brother.
In the circle of the rich and powerful in the capital, his name had never appeared. Now he was only serving in the imperial guards. If she really married him, she would neither have a good reputation nor any benefits.
Therefore, she was unwilling in her heart.
Shan Heng didn't miss a single detail of Ma Mingyu's expression.
As a member of the Imperial Guard, observing people's words and expressions is a basic skill.
The second young lady of the Ma family was obviously unwilling.
However, he felt relieved. Their current situation was that they looked down on each other, which was also good.
After this meal, I guess we won’t meet again.
After this visit, Shan Heng would not come again in the short term. Thinking that he would be free for a few months in the future, his face looked much better.
No matter how slowly you eat a meal, it will eventually end.
When Madam Ma and Ma Mingyu left, Lou sent Tang Jiali away and asked her to ask the shopkeeper to pack some food to take back. Then she took Shan Heng back to sit and asked, "What do you think of Miss Ma? Mother is quite satisfied. Miss Ma is good-looking and seems well-behaved and quiet. She is a perfect match for a naughty monkey like you."
"Mom, can't you see that Miss Ma is not satisfied with me?" Shan Heng really felt that his mother's eyesight was not working well.
Ma Mingyu's look of disdain was not concealed at all! Is this called being well-behaved and quiet?! She was just being disdainful.
"How could it be?! Don't talk nonsense!" Lou didn't believe it at all. How come she didn't notice it at all?
"Mom, I'm really not talking nonsense! I think you should stop wasting your time. The fact is that Miss Ma doesn't like me, and I don't like her either."
Shan Heng made his point clear so that his mother wouldn't get it.
"Just talk about yourself, don't drag others into it." Lou still didn't believe it. She had a good chat with Madam Ma.
"Mom, I'm serious. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. It won't be long before Mrs. Ma tells you that this matter is over. Of course, this is based on the premise that Mrs. Ma is really like what you said, a person who truly loves her daughter and does not use her children's marriage as a bargaining chip."
