Siqing changed her clothes, followed Xiu'e to the main courtyard, entered the hall, faced a round table, the dishes have been placed, the plate is painted with a shallow ink bamboo sea, elegant and pure, the porcelain bowl is a lonely man fishing, the meaning is far away.

This pattern is the Meng family themselves to draw and burn out, in other dishes are still white porcelain red fish picture, the Meng family has made this kind of thin tire bowl, using many times glazing and spray glaze painting method, the color is gentle, the elegance of spring and white snow to the extreme.

Siqing's gaze was unconsciously attracted, and when Mrs. Meng Pan Lanfang walked in with the old lady in her arms, she was still staring at a porcelain bowl with her eyes in.

Xiu'e gently poked her with her elbow, and she came back to her senses and hurriedly asked the two of them to say goodbye.

The old lady hummed expressionlessly, and sat down on the side chair next to the dining table, Pan Lanfang stood next to her, smiling at her with a kind face: "Siqing has grown into a big girl, and it has become more and more symbolic." ”

She thanked her, stood like Pan Lanfang, and watched her push the two plates of pastries closer to the old lady's hand, and the old lady glanced at it and didn't move.

Not long after, the third aunt walked in, the third aunt's surname was He, which was the old lady's previous He San'er, and her daughter Meng Si also lived in the east wing.

She shook a fan, her smooth calves looming under the slanted cheongsam, and as soon as she entered the door, she glanced at Siqing, and her scrutinizing gaze made Siqing uncomfortable, and she turned her face slightly.

He said with a smile: "Siqing can't even see that she grew up in the countryside, but she is whiter and tenderer than our Siyi." ”

"That's because her mother is good-looking. Mrs. Meng answered the phone, and then took a piece of chestnut cake and put it in her hand.

He pouted, twisted and asked the old lady for peace, and informed: "Si Yi went to listen to the play, and he won't be here today." ”

The old lady nodded her head in understanding, and asked the next person, "When will the master come back?"

"The master is still in the kiln, I guess I have to wait for a while. ”

When Pan Lanfang heard this, she asked someone to serve a pot of tea, helped the old lady make it and handed it to her.

The old lady put down the chestnut cake, picked it up, and tasted it slowly, and several people said nothing.

Until the tea was halfway through and it was already dark, Pan Lanfang kindly asked the old lady for instructions: "It's late, the master doesn't know when he will come back, why don't you eat some first?"

"If the man is not there, how can there be a reason for the woman to sit down first?" the old lady put down the teacup, "and wait." ”

Pan Lanfang had no choice but to nod yes, as if she was settled next to her, and He walked into the courtyard, shaking her fan and whispering and laughing with a few old mothers.

Siqing already felt hungry, but she couldn't show it, at this time in the past, she had already eaten.

If it weren't for the death of her aunt last month, her uncle's husband repaired the book to the Meng family, saying that the family is all men, and it is inconvenient for a girl to continue to live, she probably will not be picked up.

Finally, Meng Hongxian finally came back, first went back to the room to change his long coat, and then came over, sat down in the right position, the old lady took a seat, and the other people sat down in turn.

Siqing sat in the last place in the north, far away, and only ate the plate of tofu in front of her, and she didn't eat much, and she was afraid of embarrassment, so she had to slow down the speed of eating, but fortunately she was not a greedy person.

But hearing Meng Hongxian ask Huai'an's whereabouts first, Pan Lanfang replied that he didn't know, and he shook his head: "You still have to take care of it." ”

"As long as you don't get into trouble. Pan Lanfang said.

Meng Hongxian disagreed: "I heard that I beat someone outside again, no matter if something happens sooner or later, you have to worry more." ”

"It's better to find him a daughter-in-law as soon as possible, didn't he bring a Miss Jiang to the house for dinner last time, I think the relationship between the two of them is not ordinary, maybe ......"

Before she finished speaking, the old lady interrupted: "This is not in a hurry. ”

She had no choice but to keep her mouth shut, Meng Hongxian then instructed a few words, Zuo just asked him to control Meng Huai'an more, and then, he seemed to notice Siqing and asked her, "How is your uncle-in-law lately?"

Siqing put down the dishes and chopsticks and replied, "It's good." ”

"There is a place to get the Meng family to tell him to speak, everyone is a relative, it is not easy for their family to raise you so big, we owe him. ”

Siqing responded.

Meng Hongxian asked again: "Which courtyard do you live in?"

Pan Lanfang replied for her: "Mother is afraid that Siqing will not be suitable for living with us, so she has arranged to the cover room in the backyard, I have already asked people to clean it, it is very clean, and I will send a few more bedding tonight." ”

Meng Hongxian didn't react, but He Shi was stunned.

After the meal, He grabbed Pan Lanfang and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you say that you let that girl live with me, why did you go to the backyard?"

"Isn't it good not to live with you?"

"No, I vacated her mother's previous house, why can't I live if I can't stop it?" He Shi moved closer to her, and said more quietly: "This girl has not been in the Meng family since she was a child, I still want to see what kind of character she is, in case she is a difficult person to deal with, she can still stare at it in front of her......"

The other party gave her a blank look: "What are you staring at her for?"

"Sister, you are not afraid, you have both children and daughters, I can think of one, I have to worry about the future days for our mothers." ”

"Why did the Meng family shorten your mother, Si Yi even read books, what else?" Pan Lanfang pulled her to the verandah, "You don't have to be nosy, the old lady arranged people in the backyard, not for her good, but to prevent her." ”

"Huh?" He Shi's eyes widened, and he inadvertently glanced back at Siqing, who happened to look over and smiled politely at her, she was startled and quickly withdrew her gaze.

Siqing shook her head slightly, and without thinking about it, she could guess that the conversation between the two was related to her.

And she didn't know why she was placed in the backyard.

It is said that on the day she was born, the old lady happened to visit the temple fair, and asked the monk in the temple on a whim to ask for a signature, and the monk said that the Meng family was a bad omen, and it was broken in this generation, and the old lady immediately thought of her who had just been born, and sent her out after going back.

Now that they are back to live, Yu Meng's family is helpless, and they don't even want to give their mother the house they lived in before.

But that's fine, it's true that the backyard is clean.

As soon as she looked up in contemplation, she saw that He Shi was looking at this side intentionally or unintentionally, so she simply turned around, not letting the scrutinizing gaze fall on her face all the time.

It's not the first time she has come to the Meng family, she came to her mother's funeral before, and once during the Chinese New Year, Meng Hongxian invited her and her uncle's family over, she has seen these family members, although she was still young at that time, but she knows a little about their temperament and temperament.

She knew that the He family had always liked to fight, but if there was anything missing her daughter, she would definitely have to make a fuss, and now she was frequently vigilant to look at herself, just afraid that she would share Meng Siyi's soup.

Seeing her turn around, He Shi retracted his gaze stupidly, and listened to Pan Lanfang continue: "What the monk said, it's better to believe it than not to believe it, her own mother left early, and your stomach is not angry, and there is no movement after thinking about it, now Ting'an This piece of incense, in case it ......" She suddenly realized that she had missed her mouth, and hurriedly stopped.

Ting An is the third young master of the Meng family, Pan Lanfang's biological son, and is now studying in France.

Insiders know that the real son of the Meng family's generation is only the third young master Ting'an, but the He family doesn't know.

He Shi thought that she was afraid of saying bad things so she stopped, and because she was unhappy at mentioning her stomach, she didn't ask much, rolled her eyes a few times, and said, "Since you want to tell her to stay away, it's better to ......."

"What?"

He tentatively said, "Marry her off." ”

"Huh?" Pan Lanfang didn't expect this.

"At her age in the country, she can get married. He said: "Let's not treat her badly, just find her a good mother-in-law." ”

"This ......" Pan Lanfang was tempted and thought it was a good idea.

In the evening, I went to the old lady to discuss, and when the old lady heard it, she also felt very good, and told Meng Hongxian the next day, Meng Hongxian didn't care much about this, and left it to them to do it, just say that the door is reliable.

He asked someone to help find it, and soon there was a result, there is a Liu family in the east of Xuncheng, their son has not yet married, the Liu family is a scholarly family, there are several shops in Xuncheng, the family is quite solid, that Liu Gongzi is an only son, willing to marry Siqing's daughter, which is commendable.

The two families are right, there is no problem, and the family affairs are settled.
