40. 040: The deceased
Xia Ruan went to Xianyang with her mother to visit her cousin, but she was not very happy.
Her mother has always doted on her, and everything she eats and wears is top-notch, if she goes to Xianyang......
When I arrived at Yue's house, I was no more casual than at home, and I had to be careful in what I said and did, so as not to be looked down upon by my cousin who had never met.
I heard my mother say that the Yue family is a hairpin family. A small family like the Xia family, in the eyes of the Yue family, is just a dusty existence.
Xia Ruan couldn't refuse the family affair that her mother asked for when she lowered her head, but she couldn't help but wonder......
Xianyang Yue family, will it be the Yue family in the capital?
Yue's house occupies a vast area, the scenery in the yard is beautiful, the doors and windows are separated, all are finely carved fresh patterns, like a fairyland on earth.
Xia Ruan was a little surprised after she got out of the carriage, she couldn't help but look at her mother a few more times, how much did her mother hide from her over the years? If my cousin can marry so well, why did my mother choose her father back then? Even if you choose with your eyes closed, you can find someone who is a hundred times better than your father.
"Mrs. Li, you rest, the old slave will go to Mrs. Li." The old woman's face seemed enthusiastic, but there was still a bit of contempt in her words. Li smiled bitterly, but nodded politely: "Then there is Lao Chen's mother." ”
Sitting in the back room, Xia Ruan glanced out the window and saw that a few peach blossoms had bloomed, and the yard was full of spring scenery.
After a quarter of an hour's rest, Chen's mother slowly walked up with a few little maids, and smiled helplessly after entering the door: "Mrs. Li is really unfortunate, Mrs. is eating now, I'm afraid you want to ...... Wait a little longer......"
After speaking, there was still a mockery in his eyes.
Li has always had a good temper, even if he saw the look in Chen's mother's eyes, he didn't move: "It's okay, I'll wait." Wait a minute, and wait for the trouble Chen's mother to spread it again. ”
Li gave Cuiliu a look, and Cuiliu hurriedly took out a few ingots of silver from her purse and handed them to Chen's mother.
Mother Chen just smiled lightly, but didn't take the silver: "Mrs. Li is really polite, the old slave can accept the silver." ”
Li stood up, took the silver from Cuiliu's hand, and then put it in Chen's mother's hand, smiling sincerely: "I have known Chen's mother all these years by my cousin's side, and thanks to Chen's mother when I was a child, now I should also honor you." Don't be polite to me, I'm still Su Lan......"
As soon as these words came out, Mother Chen's smile froze on her face, and then she didn't shirk and took the silver over: "The old slave will go and spread the word again, and Mrs. Li, you can drink hot tea again." ”
Xia Ruan's mind was in a mess now, and she knew that Dao Su Lan was her mother's nickname.
Judging from Chen's mother's performance, her mother's status was not lower than that of her cousin, and the more she thought about it, the more confused she became, why didn't her mother explain these things to her?
This time, less than a moment later, I heard a rattling sound outside the house.
I saw a pink and glamorous woman appear outside the door, wearing a gold silk and eight treasures beaded bun on her head, and a sunrise five phoenixes hanging beaded hairpins. Behind her was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, with a delicate face, a handsome figure, and a beautiful crown.
"But Cousin Sulan?" The woman hurriedly greeted her, a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes, but Xia Ruan, who was standing beside the Li family, looked at it thoroughly, "I'm ...... I've always remembered you......"
Li Shi smiled, let the woman hold her hands tightly, and just said to Xia Ruan, "Hurry up and salute your cousin." After speaking, he said to the woman, "This is my daughter, Xia Ruan." ”
Xia Ruan obediently listened to her mother's words and gave a blessing to the woman: "I've seen my cousin." ”
inadvertently reveals the nobility of the past, making her look dignified and eye-catching.
Wei glanced at the girl who saluted in front of him, and saw that she had a slender figure, her eyes were clearer than autumn water, and her red lips were not dotted and vermilion, and her face was as white as the full moon.
Wei was slightly surprised, it stands to reason that this little girl grew up in a small county, and she is still in the family of a small businessman who is not in the stream. But this move makes people unable to find a flaw, even if compared with these women in Xianyang, they are also outstanding.
She was worried that this family business was not as good as Brother An'er's intentions, so she brought Brother An over today to take a look, if Brother An was not happy at all, this family business would be stopped. But now, Wei glanced at Yue Cheng'an beside him, and saw that his fair face had a hint of redness, and his expression was slightly nervous.
Wei Shi smiled and said to Xia Ruan, "This is your cousin." After finishing speaking, he said to the somewhat shy young man beside him, "Come and meet my cousin and cousin." ”
Yue Cheng'an understood, and his face turned red before he spoke, and then he waved at Li: "I've seen my cousin, I've seen my cousin." ”
In contrast, Yue Chengan's movements were a little stiff.
When Wei saw his son's appearance, he was a little dissatisfied, but after thinking about it carefully, he never reprimanded him.
"You haven't come to Xianyang to walk around these years, and you've been estranged. Those who know the way say that you are tired of us, and that you will not come often. I don't know what to do, I still think that there is no one in our eyes......" Wei couldn't help but sigh, "You don't know how to do it, the third cousin often mentions you to the master, but he ...... Hey......"
Listening to Wei's words, Li's face also showed a sad expression: "How is the third brother doing all these years? After entering Beijing a few years ago, are there any places that you are not used to? Over the years, after all, it was mine, and cousin, I had no choice back then. ”
When Li said this, she felt a little sour in her eyes, her willful choice back then led to an estrangement from her brother who was a fellow mother. Over the years, she has always felt ashamed in her heart. But now that her brother has been smooth sailing in his career, she doesn't want to cause trouble to her brother, after all, those decisive words were also said by her.
When Wei saw Li's expression, his attitude was a little more affectionate: "Speaking of which, don't blame your cousin for being troublesome. A few days ago, you said you were coming, so I asked my master to invite my third cousin over. Su Lan, the knot in my heart over the years should also be untied, the third cousin has been thinking about you all these years. ”
As soon as the words fell, Li replied excitedly: "Cousin, what's the matter...... It's not okay. I can't let the third brother know about it, he, he ......"
"He's your brother-in-law, what are you afraid of?" Wei's face changed, and there was some reprimand in his words, "Are you going to hide it from Ruan Yatou for the rest of your life?" In the coming day, Brother An and Ruan Yatou will get married, don't you plan to invite your third cousin over for dinner? As soon as these words came out, Xia Ruan quickly lowered his head, but he frowned.
Sure enough, this family affair was not as simple as she thought.
With such a family background in the Yue family, Yue Chengan is the eldest son, how could he fall in love with a woman born like her.
It turned out that all this was not a matter of money, but the influence of her third uncle, whom she had never met.
As soon as Xia Ruan's mind was settled, he heard a familiar voice from outside the house.
"Where are you, cousin? I'll tell you something interesting I heard today......"
As soon as the words fell, Xia Ruan raised her head and saw the young man outside the house, and the nightmare of the past reappeared in her mind.
How so? Tang Jingxuan will appear here for what to do.
