Chapter 109: Exploration

Li Xiaonuan stood in front of the couch with a smile, looking at Mrs. Meng with a soft and careful gaze, she was very dignified and demure in life, wearing a silk skirt with a red background, red and bright, eye-catching and abnormal, this red is too dazzling, she should change to a softer color, so as to set off her demureness.

Li Xiaonuan thought a little distractedly, and after Mrs. Meng and Gu Yunhuan finished speaking, she turned her head, looked at Li Xiaonuan, and said with a smile:

"This is Miss Cousin in the house, she was really born well, come, come and let me see."

Li Xiaonuan bent her knees, carefully stepped forward half a step, and stood in front of the couch, Mrs. Meng squinted her eyes slightly, looked carefully, reached out and took a string of pink pearls from the couch, put it on Li Xiaonuan's hand, and said with a smile:

"Miss Cousin is born so well, this string of pink beads is just right for you."

Li Xiaonuan hurriedly bent her knees and thanked her, and was led by the little girl to sit under Mrs. Zhou's head, raised her head, and met Mrs. Li's slightly solemn gaze, Li Xiaonuan lowered her eyes, secretly removed the bead string, and stuffed it into her sleeve, Mrs. Li turned her head, smiled, and gossiped affectionately with Mrs. Meng.

Li Xiaonuan and Gu Yunhuan sat upright, listening to the three gossiping, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou respectfully talked to Mrs. Meng for a while, and a girl came in and reported that the banquet was ready.

Mrs. Meng smiled and let Mrs. Li say:

"My courtyard is small, and I can't entertain distinguished guests, so I asked people to put the table in the front yard to listen to the Tao Pavilion, and ask the old lady to move."

Mrs. Li hurriedly thanked her politely, let Mrs. Meng out of the main house, slightly half a step behind, and walked with Mrs. Meng to the front yard to listen to the Tao Pavilion.

Mrs. Zhou took Gu Yunhuan and Li Xiaonuan and followed behind with a smile.

In the secret door behind Tingtao Pavilion, Cheng Ke and Zhou Jingran were crowded together, peeping into the pavilion through the peephole.

In the pavilion, there is a table in the middle, Mrs. Meng sits at the top, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou accompany from side to side, Gu Yunhuan and Li Xiaonuan sit at the bottom, Mrs. Meng's banquet follows the rules of the palace, everyone sits upright, eating solemnly and quietly.

Li Xiaonuan sat at the bottom, with a supple expression and half-lowered eyes, barely eating, just blindly supposing and gently lowering his eyes.

Cheng Ke frowned, pushed Zhou Jingran, leaned into his ear, and asked in a low voice:

"That's how you eat on weekdays?"

"Hmm,"

Zhou Jingran turned his head to look at Cheng Ke, thought for a while and said:

"Maybe, I haven't eaten with her, in your house, do you eat with the **** of the inner house?"

Cheng Ke glanced at Zhou Jingran and said in a low voice:

"My father came in to eat with my mother when he was not busy, but you are newlyweds, and there is no one else in this house."

Zhou Jingran smiled and didn't answer, Cheng Ke came to the hole again, and continued to look into the pavilion, Zhou Jingran also squeezed over, looked inside, sighed for a while, and sighed in a low voice:

"Look at this girl, this gentleness, tsk, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have dared to believe that she kicked you into the lake?"

Cheng Ke's forehead was about to jump up again, Zhou Jingran sighed and said in a low voice:

"Xiao Ke, she is a weak woman in the end, alas, she is very weak, you go forward, don't bully her."

"Hmm."

Cheng Ke nodded solemnly.

After the meal was over, Mrs. Meng asked her to take Mrs. Zhou, Gu Yunhuan, and Li Xiaonuan to watch the flowers in the conservatory behind Tingtao Pavilion, leaving only Mrs. Li to speak.

Mrs. Zhou knew that Mrs. Meng must have something to say to Mrs. Li, so she hurriedly got up and took Gu Yunhuan and Li Xiaonuan, and followed the maid to the back conservatory.

Mrs. Meng let Mrs. Li sit on the couch on the east side of the warm pavilion, and after gossiping for a while, she smiled and turned to the topic:

“…… The old lady is really a blessing, this granddaughter and niece, all of them are like flowers and jade, the more people look at it, the more they love, I don't know if the family affairs have been decided? ”

Old Madam Li showed a smile in her eyes, shook her head worriedly, sighed and said:

"I'm worried about this now, my granddaughter will be eighteen years old in the New Year, and she has been in the countryside, and this family affair has not yet been settled."

"The old lady doesn't have to worry, Miss Yunhuan has such a good look, I don't know how many people want to ask for it but can't ask for it, and I'll return to the capital at this time, maybe there will be a suitable person outside the year this year."

Mrs. Meng agreed casually, Mrs. Li's eyes flashed with surprise, she looked at Mrs. Meng with a smile, waiting for her to speak, Mrs. Meng picked up the cup, lowered her eyes, slowly took a sip of tea, thought for a moment, and then looked up at Mrs. Li and asked:

"Has Miss Xiaonuan's family affairs been decided?"

"Xiao Nuan is only thirteen years old after the New Year, and she is still young, how can she be set so early."

Old Madam Li's eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment and vigilance, and said with a smile, Mrs. Meng put down the cup in her hand, looked at Old Madam Li with a smile, and said as if very casually:

"The little warm girl was born so well, if she is allowed to give it to an ordinary person, it is a pity, if it is a big family, it is a little ......"

Mrs. Meng picked the corners of her mouth and smiled before continuing:

"If you can go to any palace to be a side concubine, it won't be considered wronged by her appearance."

Old Madam Li squinted her eyes, looked at Mrs. Meng with a smile on her face, clapped her hands heavily and sighed:

"Alas, Mrs. is telling the truth, but it's a pity that my family is a little warm, this temper and character are very weird, wearing clothes and refusing to let people embroider flowers, eating only love grains, that is, the furnishings in the house, and only willing to put some flowers and plants, that is, flowers and plants, and also love those worthless roadside flowers, but not a person who can afford the glory and wealth of the palace"

Mrs. Meng's face softened and relaxed, and Mrs. Li looked at Mrs. Meng with a smile, sighed again, and then said:

"This child, since the age of six has followed me, although it is a strange character, but it is rare to have a pure filial piety, to me is very filial, I love her as much as I hurt my little grandson Alas, this person, how much happiness can be enjoyed, not all destined to be small and warm in the future, I will not let her go to seek wealth and wealth, just carefully pick a door to the right person, do not ask for anything else, as long as the family population is simple, the in-laws are kind, the sister-in-law is good, this man, you must know how to hurt people, to be loyal, to be good to my little warmth, and to have a good temper, It can't be the character of three wives and four concubines."

Mrs. Meng's expression relaxed, and she covered her mouth and laughed,

"The old lady doesn't ask for much? Such a person, it's okay, it's just a man, if you want this to be good, you want that good, you can't have three wives and four concubines, but it's hard to find a man with a lantern."

Old Madam Li laughed,

"Alas, the lady is still young, and when the lady has a group of children in the future, you will know, which mother is not looking forward to it like this? My little nuan will marry someone in the future, I don't ask for anything else, just this person, you have to think like me, and you can't do anything less."

Mrs. Meng covered her mouth with her hands, giggled and quipped:

"If the old lady has to be like this, then she has to hurry, from tomorrow, she has to pay attention to this person's family for Miss Xiaonuan, this person, you have to watch it for two more years before you can be sure."

Old Madam Li smiled and nodded,

"Madame is very right, even if you are optimistic about people, you must pay attention to the next three or two years, so that I can rest assured."

Mrs. Meng smiled briskly, and accompanied Mrs. Li to talk for a while, Mrs. Li got up to say goodbye, Mrs. Meng did not stay long, sent someone to the back of the warm house to invite Mrs. Zhou and the three of them to come back, and watched a group of four people out of Tingtao Pavilion, and then led the girls back to the main courtyard with a smile.

Seeing Mrs. Meng walk away, Zhou Jingran and Cheng Kecai flashed out of the secret door and walked side by side to the study in the front yard.

Zhou Jingran turned his head to look at Cheng Ke, whose face was so gloomy that he could drip water, sighed and persuaded:

"It's best if you think about it, if you can't think of it, let's think of other ways, fortunately, that girl is still young, let's think about it slowly, and it's still too late."

Cheng Ke twisted his eyebrows, as if he hadn't heard Zhou Jingran's words, thought for a while, suddenly paused, turned his head to look at Zhou Jingran and said:

"Loyal, good-tempered, good to Xiao Nuan, what Mrs. Li is talking about, is Gu Xiao?"

Zhou Jingran opened his eyes wide, stared at Cheng Ke, and was stunned for a while, for a while, blinked his eyes a few times, thought about it carefully, nodded slowly, looked at Cheng Ke, and said seriously:

"It's true, it's that family, the population is simple, the in-laws are kind, and the sister-in-law is good, isn't this the case with the Gu family?"

Cheng Ke's face became even more gloomy, Zhou Jingran lowered his head and thought about it, shook his head lightly and laughed, stretched out his hand to pat Cheng Ke's shoulder and said:

"You still want to drive some, let it go, forget it"

"Nope"

Cheng Ke shook his head stubbornly,

"Gu Xiao, that stupid boy, can't even take care of himself, what can he take care of Xiao Nuan? Xiao Nuan is mine."

Zhou Jingran raised his hand, stroked his forehead helplessly, and was speechless for a while.

Old Madam Li leaned on the couch in the east wing of Mingyuan Hall with a tired face, thought carefully, and looked at Mrs. Meng's words, this wants to accept Xiao Nuan as a side concubine, but I am afraid that it is King Jing, when did King Jing meet Xiao Nuan?

If Yun Huan Yun Huan didn't go to the Suo Luo Pavilion, Xiao Nuan wouldn't chase after him, and he wouldn't let King Jing see it, and King Jing saw Xiao Nuan, so Xiao Ke?

Mrs. Li's expression became solemn, Xiao Nuan was born too well, it is inevitable that people will covet it, and others will just refuse, even if they refuse, there are King Jing's Mansion and Runan Palace's Mansion standing behind, and the Gu family is not afraid of who will go, but if it is King Jing, or Runan Palace, come and ask for Xiao Nuan......

Or, get engaged first?

If you are engaged, you have to avoid suspicion, but Xiao Er listens to Xiao Nuan's words the most, and now Xiao Nuan mentions it, although this capital is mixed, there is no need to worry about Xiao Er misbelieving people and going astray.

This engagement to marriage, how can it take three or four years, in these three or four years, there is no Xiao Nuan to mention it from time to time, Xiao Er......

Alas, that's a solid kid that almost anyone can fool.

This pro, still can't be ordered

Xiaoxian has persisted for 12 days, I really admire myself, actually, this is all rewarded by the fans, and the spirit of encouragement is full

Hugs, dear ones
