Chapter 24 Father-in-law, the son-in-law is here again.

"Grandmother, look, this is the latest beauty cream from the Imperial Medical Bureau. They say it's made with a lot of rare medicinal herbs and pearl powder. If you use it later, you'll be ten years younger."

It was a rare opportunity to show his courtesy, so Tang Mo approached the old lady like he was presenting a treasure. The old lady took the small porcelain jar and smelled it, "Hmm, it smells good."

"It's rare for a kid like you to be so thoughtful. Grandmother will accept it."

Who doesn't want to be young? The old lady also wants to grow old a few years later. The more she sees Tang Mo, the more she likes him. She thinks that getting married is really different. He is really more filial. She takes this opportunity to promote Tang Mo to Xin An again, "See, this kid is also a thoughtful person. He has you in his heart. Grandmother is blessed by you."

Xin An smiled happily, "It is indeed a bit of a surprise."

The old lady laughed and invited the two to have dinner together. The two men came forward eagerly, supporting the old lady on the left and right as she walked towards the dining table. They also did not forget to greet Tang Rong and Tao Yiran. Tang Rong originally wanted to please the old lady, but ended up being overshadowed by Tang Mo. After Tao Yiran greeted him, he didn't say a word, so he had no idea what to say.

"You two should come too. It's hard for an old woman like me to get up so early to accompany me. Don't just stand there."

"That's not right, Grandma."

Tang Rong finally found an opportunity to speak, "It is a blessing for a grandson to be able to accompany grandma. Yi'er was a little unwell yesterday and couldn't come. I feel very sorry and kept complaining about it for a long time last night."

The old lady didn't care about him, after all, he was her grandson, but she didn't like Tao Yiran very much either. Her eyesight was a little blurry but she was not blind. She saw the disdain in Tao Yiran's eyes, which showed that he looked down on her as an old woman.

"Please sit down, and help yourself to what you want to eat. Don't be so reserved."

Xin An and Tang Mo helped the old lady to sit down, and then they got busy, one serving porridge and the other serving dishes. They arranged everything for the old lady before sitting down. Tang Mo's stomach was not feeling well after drinking last night, and he felt comfortable all over as soon as he drank the warm vegetable porridge. He finished a bowl in no time and asked for more. Xin An had a good appetite to begin with, and he ate with relish. Compared with Tao Yiran, who would eat five or six bites of a crystal dumpling, he was quite unreserved.

Tang Rong was relatively normal. He didn't leave after dinner and stayed to talk with the old lady. Tang Mo, on the other hand, wanted to take Xin An away first, saying that the Xin family was preparing to go back and they didn't know when they would see each other again. While they were still in the capital, he wanted to take Xin An to spend more time with her parents. "We won't be back for dinner today, nor for supper."

The old lady was considerate and asked Ganlu to bring out some tea and wine. "These tea and wine are both good. Take them to honor your father-in-law."

Tang Mo thanked him cheerfully and said a lot of nice things before leading Xin An away. Xin An was a little surprised, "You didn't say you would take me back before you came."

"How's it going? Are you happy?"

Tang Mo was so proud that his tail could be lifted up to the sky. He even leaned over and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You have lived two lifetimes and have only been out of the gate of the Marquis' Mansion a few times. Don't you feel sorry for it?"

"Go out and meet new people and things, and we will slowly become younger. Otherwise, it will be very uncomfortable to keep those old things in our hearts."

Xin An laughed and said, "That's a good arrangement. I'll give you credit for it."

This feeling was very novel, so she didn't investigate it carefully. She happily followed him to the door. When she arrived at the Xin family, Mrs. Xin was very surprised to see her. She couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes, "Why are you here?"

"Your son-in-law brought me here. He said that after you leave, we don't know what we'll see next time. We need to see you more while you're in the capital."

This was said as a joke, and also to reassure her parents. However, Mrs. Xin's eyes turned red, and she looked at Tang Mo happily, "Good son-in-law, thank you very much."

Xin Kuan, who rushed over, also heard this and had a better impression of Tang Mo. Tang Mo stepped forward and bowed, "Father-in-law, my son-in-law is here again."

"It's good that you're here. You're thoughtful."

Tang Mo smiled and said, "Father-in-law has no plans today, right? How about I take you around the capital to experience the local customs and people of the capital?"

I took my brother-in-law with me yesterday, and today the whole family is going together.

"Okay, okay."

Xin Huan was very happy. "We didn't go to many places yesterday. Didn't my brother-in-law say that you can go boating on the lake in Beijing, and there will be musicians playing for you? Why don't we go and experience it today?"

"It's just that the kid wants to go everywhere."

Madam Xin glared at him and said, "Your brother-in-law was exhausted yesterday. Can't you let him take a break today?"

"Brother Huan, if you want to go, go ahead." Tang Mo said cheerfully, "We are just going out to play today. You can go anywhere. I will arrange everything."

"Brother-in-law is the best."

Xin Huan was very proud, and the family left the house quickly. Xin An and her mother were in a separate car. Mrs. Xin took Xin An's hand with a relieved look on her face, "I was really worried at first, but I've seen that my son-in-law is really good these past two days. Regardless of whether he has any achievements or not, his attitude towards us shows that he is a good person."

"Didn't you see how he accompanied your father to drink yesterday, coaxing your father into a happy smile, calling him a good son-in-law? If it was that prince, would he be able to lower himself to please his father-in-law like this?"

Xin An smiled but said nothing. Madam Xin patted the back of his hand, thinking that she was still thinking about Tang Rong. "This matter has been decided. You must not have any other thoughts in your mind."

"I know."

Speaking of Tang Rong, Xin'an was in a bad mood and took the initiative to skip this topic. "I don't know when we will see each other again after I go back this time. Today, we mother and daughter must go shopping. It's just that I came out in a hurry, and your good son-in-law didn't tell me in advance that he would bring me back, so I didn't bring any money. Whatever I like today, mother will pay for it."

Madam Xin tapped her forehead and said, "You are still the same as before. You are my precious daughter. I will buy you anything you like."

The mother and daughter chatted and laughed and soon arrived at a teahouse. Tang Mo introduced with a smile, "This Yuxianlou is the best and largest teahouse in the capital. Sitting in the private room on the second floor, you can not only see the street scenes of several streets, but also hear the lively conversations of the tea drinkers downstairs."

The family went up to the second floor under the guidance of the waiter. As soon as they sat down, tea and snacks were served one after another. Xin Kuan took a sip of tea and leaned back in his chair comfortably. "I have been to the capital many times, and I was always in a hurry. Teahouses are the place I go most often, but I never sit down and enjoy the scenery."

There is no need for socializing or competing in wits and courage. Just sitting there in the sun and drinking tea is already a very enjoyable thing.

Xin An also felt relaxed. She hadn't relaxed for a long time. She felt very comfortable just sitting there without thinking about anything. She leaned against the window and looked down. People were coming and going on the street, and the sounds of shouting and greetings were endless. Just as she was about to look away, a few dandies dressed in fancy clothes appeared in her sight. They turned around and asked Tang Mo, "Did you make an appointment with friends?"
