347 The Return of Li Guoxin (I)
After Fan Jun left, Yueyao ordered, ordered four of the restaurant's specialties, and ordered four more ingredients and one soup, which was enough for a few people to eat.
After Xiang Wei sent the menu out, she said to the shopkeeper: "If the dishes are not so fast, send some melons and fruits first." ”
As soon as Xiang Wei returned to the wing, Xiao Er sent a plate of melon seeds and a plate of watermelons. The things were placed on the table, and Xiao Er immediately went out.
Xiang Wei took the melon seeds, ate them and exclaimed: "It's so fragrant, I've always heard that the melon seeds in the Xianjia Restaurant are fried well, and they really deserve their reputation, so the girl will taste them." ”
Yueyao was not interested in this kind of thing that was easy to get angry, so she took a piece of watermelon and ate it. The watermelon was very sweet, and Yueyao ate two pieces. After eating, he took a handkerchief and wiped his hands: "Didn't you say that Fan Jun looks fierce and vicious, and his face is full of meat, are you deliberately scaring me?" ”
Xiang Wei said innocently: "Did I say that he looks fierce and vicious? I mean, he's scary, doesn't the girl think he's scary? "Xiang Wei is also bold, but in front of Fan Jun, she is like a mouse seeing a cat, not to mention how honest she is.
Yueyao didn't blame Xiang Wei, it seemed that she was overdoing it. But think about it, although Fan Jun didn't look as fierce as she thought, his momentum was quite scary.
After lunch, the group went back. The people of Mafu were not surprised at all when they saw Yueyao buying a bunch of things. Everyone in the Ma Mansion knows that the cousin girl is rich.
When Yueyao entered the second gate, she happened to meet someone going out.
The mother-in-law who led the way hurriedly came over and said, "Miss Yao, this is the second lady's aunt, Mrs. Zhu. "The subordinates of Ma Mansion are polite to Yueyao, not only because Yueyao is loved by Ma Chengteng, but also because Yueyao is generous.
Yue Yao glanced at Mrs. Zhu, and her first feeling was that the Zhu family really deserved to be a rich family, and this taste was really special. Don't blame Yueyao for commenting like this, it's really Mrs. Zhu who is too rich.
Mrs. Zhu wore a light gold pine and crane pattern brocade hair jacket, a pomegranate red sprinkled gold horse face silver mouse skin skirt, combed a peony bun, wore a red gold ruby hairpin on the bun, two crested rubies on the left and right, wore ruby earrings on her ears, wore a gemstone necklace, wore a pair of red gold bracelets on the left side, wore a jade jade bracelet on her right hand, and well, she also wore a gemstone ring on her fingers.
Jewelry can play the role of the finishing touch, but if the jewelry is too good to be suppressed, it will become a person with jewelry. Yueyao felt that Mrs. Zhu was exhibiting ruby jewelry.
This is the first time Mrs. Zhu has seen Yue Yao, and looking at Yue Yao's appearance, she loves it so much. stepped forward and wanted to hold Yueyao's hand, but unfortunately Yueyao automatically took a step back. Yue Yao also realized that she was rude, and said with a smile: "Did Mrs. Zhu come to see her second cousin?" ”
Mrs. Zhu smiled and said, "Yes, this is the first time we have met, and I have no preparations." Mrs. Zhu was about to take off the jade bracelet on her hand and give it to Yue Yao as a greeting gift, but Yue Yao was reluctant to accept it.
Yueyao said tactfully: "This gift is too valuable, I can't ask for it." ”
Xiang Wei said in the back: "Girl, you are also tired for a day, go back and rest!" "For such a person, there is actually no need to save face.
Yue Yao said goodbye to Mrs. Zhu with a smile, and then returned to Begonia Garden.
The woman who led the way happened to be Su Zhu's sister-in-law, and she knew what the second lady thought, so she pretended to be unintentional and said: "The cousin girl is both talented and good-looking, and her heart is also high, not to mention that ordinary people don't look down on her, even the prince of Yongding Hou can't look down on her." What kind of person is the Hou Shizi of Yongding, that is the first civil and military double jinshi of the Great Yuan Dynasty. We are all thinking that the cousin girl can't even look down on the prince of Yongding, and she can only marry the prince and grandson in the future. ”
Mrs. Zhu's face was a little ugly, and she used to think that the Tang family was deliberately shirking, but she really felt that Yue Yao looked down on her. Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhu felt sullen in her heart: "An orphan girl who even killed her parents still wants to marry the prince and grandson?" Mrs. Zhu didn't realize how offensive her words were. Speaking of which, Mrs. Zhu's temperament is also habitual. Before Zhu Hang was admitted to the Jinshi, because Zhu Hang was promising, the people of the Zhu family also gave her three points, and when Zhu Hang was admitted to the Jinshi, although she was the top three, it was also a very honorable thing in the Zhu family. Several of Mrs. Zhu's concubines wanted to tell Zhu Hang about the girls in their mother's family, and even took those girls to their homes, hoping that they would get the moon first near the water. It's a pity that Mrs. Zhu has a very high vision and looks down on the nieces of the concubine. Mrs. Zhu wants to find a girl for her son who not only has a good family background and can help her son, but also has to find a girl who is both talented and beautiful. It's a pity that the ideal is very beautiful, the reality is very skinny, and the big families look down on it, and they suffer a lot of white eyes. Mrs. Zhu looked around and felt that Yue Yao was the most suitable, but she didn't expect that Yue Yao wouldn't even give her a superfluous look, and her lofty appearance deeply stimulated a certain nerve in Mrs. Zhu.
When Su Zhu's sister-in-law heard this, she hurriedly looked at the maid who was following behind, and this maid was also very obedient and immediately lowered her head when she heard these words. Su Zhu's sister-in-law breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, this Mrs. Zhu didn't know if she was getting older and more confused, in the Ma family, she dared to say that the cousin was a broom star, and it would be difficult to do it at that time.
Mrs. Zhu's words spread to Haitang Garden in a blink of an eye. Xiang Wei was very angry when she heard this, but she still thought that the Zhu family was good at first, what kind of thing is this.
Xiang Wei felt that the Zhu family was good, but she just looked at the conditions mentioned. However, because Yueyao objected at the beginning, Xiang Wei did not continue to understand. So I didn't know that the temperament of the people of the Zhu family was so bad.
Yue Yao didn't care about these gossips, but Xiang Wei was a reciprocal person, not only let this talk reach Ma Chengteng's ears, but also spread Mrs. Zhu's request to choose a daughter-in-law, making Mrs. Zhu so shameless.
The Tang family also had no face, because Ma Chengteng had already instructed the porter not to allow anyone from the Zhu family to come to the door again. Tang Shi said angrily: "I don't know what happened to my aunt recently?" Is it really old and confused? Tang felt that her aunt had always been very sensible and easy to speak, but now her behavior is becoming more and more disdainful, and she doesn't know how.
Su Zhu could only comfort: "Madam, fortunately, this family business has not been completed, otherwise there will definitely be a famine in the future!" "This is a blessing in the midst of misfortune.
Tang was depressed about this when he heard a letter from Shandong. It didn't take long for the letter to reach Tang's hands, and at the same time, he also brought Ma Chengteng's words and asked Tang to prepare some more nourishing things and send them to Shandong.
After reading the letter, Tang Shi learned that Zhuang Ruolan was pregnant again. The Tang family was a little depressed, Zhuang Ruolan had already given birth to two sons and two daughters, and she was pregnant again. Tang touched her belly, a little sad, she hadn't been pregnant since she gave birth to her eldest son, and she didn't know what the reason was.
Yueyao also got the news, thinking about whether to sew two small clothes for the unborn child. However, this idea was only in her mind for a while, and she still had a lot to learn and did not have time to make small clothes.
At the end of September, Li Guoxun returned to Beijing. Li Guoxun was promoted to the position of Household Secretary, a position second only to the Ministry of Officials. There are few people who send charcoal in the snow, and there are many icing on the cake. The people who come to the door to give gifts and leave the relationship are about to break the threshold.
Yueyao learned that Li Guoxun had returned to Beijing, and also sent an invitation. originally thought that he would not see the Li family so soon, but he didn't expect to receive a reply that night, asking Yueyao to be a guest in two days.
Yueyao was very happy to hear this, and hurriedly asked someone to send a letter to Tingzheng, asking Tingzheng to return to the house in the next two days. Speaking of which, Ting Zheng grew up in the Li Mansion and has a deeper relationship with the Li family.
Tingzheng rushed back the next afternoon.
When Yue Yao saw Ting Zheng, she asked in surprise, "Ting Zheng, didn't you say that the people of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion should often exclude military training?" You haven't been out, have you? Ting Zheng's skin not only did not turn black, but it seemed to have turned white. Now the skin is as white as the freshly made tofu so tender, and Yueyao wants to pinch it to see if she can pinch out the water.
Ting Zheng was also quite depressed: "I also practiced with them, but not only did I not get tanned, but I also became whiter and whiter the more I tanned." Ting Zheng actually hopes that he can tan a little, but unfortunately everyone else is tanned, but he is getting whiter and whiter.
Yue Yao laughed: "You really have God's love." "Yueyao now has such delicate skin, and she still pays attention to health preservation on weekdays. Tingzheng is completely innate, not to mention appearance, just talk about this skin, I don't know how many people will be jealous.
Xiang Wei quipped on the side: "Girl, I think An Zhichen should be allowed to take a look at Tingzheng." An Zhichen looked at Tingzheng, maybe he would feel inferior.
Ting Zheng didn't think about it so much, and said with a smile: "Sister Xiang Wei, I saw Brother Chen in the military camp a few days ago, and he also taught me marksmanship!" ”
Xiang Wei didn't expect An Zhichen to be very smart and knew to take the brother-in-law route.
Yueyao hurriedly sent Xiang Wei out, saving herself from coming here again and talking nonsense: "Uncle Li has returned to Beijing, do you know?" ”
Ting Zheng was overjoyed: "Uncle Li has returned to the capital?" Why did you return to Beijing? Are Aunt Li and Li Han also back? I haven't seen Uncle Li and them for over a year, and I miss them so much. ”
Yue Yao told Tingzheng about the situation of the Li family: "Let's go over to see them tomorrow." By the way, Li Han is going to Bailu Academy in a few days. It's been a long time since you've seen each other, so take advantage of the days off to get together. "The relationship between Li Han and Tingzheng is not a brother, but a brother.
Ting Zheng smiled and said, "Okay." ”
Yueyao said faintly: "Tingzheng, don't laugh outside in the future, you have to keep a straight face, you know?" Yue Yao asked herself if her appearance was not bad, but in front of Ting Zheng, Yue Yao couldn't help but feel inferior. Especially when Ting Zheng laughed, Yueyao couldn't bear it.
Ting Zheng's face collapsed instantly: "Sister, I heard that men generally don't grow beards until they are ten ** years old." Ting Zheng had already decided to wait for a long beard in the future, so he would grow a long beard and completely cover his face, so that no one would say what he looked like.
Yue Yao was a little pity, just had this thought, Yue Yao clapped her hands and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't made a picture for you yet!" "Such a beautiful person, not making a picture is simply a tyrannical thing!
Ting Zheng has always wanted to help Yueyao do something, but unfortunately Yueyao has nothing to do on weekdays, and he naturally will not refuse this small request.
