She was shocked when she heard this, clenched the magazine in her hand, and said, "What did Dad ask?" ”

Li's mother said: "The eldest master met an acquaintance surnamed Ye in the afternoon, and he also brought one of his sons. The son of that acquaintance said that he was your friend, and the lord did not know that the two of you knew each other, so he called me and asked me to ask you. ”

She re-unfolded the wrinkled magazine, lowered her head and said while reading the magazine: "There are many people with the surname Ye, how can I be impatient to remember which one he is." ”

When Mama Li saw her say this, she hesitated for a while, and didn't ask more questions in the end.

Aizhen's illness has passed for a few days, and this morning, the door of the house was suddenly pushed open, and she looked up, but it was Xiaoyin who came unexpectedly.

She stood up in surprise and said, "Fourth cousin." ”

Xiaoyin's complexion swept away the gloomy paste, because the Xiang family was in mourning, she came to visit, she didn't apply fat powder, and still looked forward to life. She was dressed in a dress, and her legs in glass stockings were like maltose to dry, visually exuding the aroma of food. The white and tender fingertips are coated with rosé kodan, and the whole person looks like a product that has just been unpackaged, not only beautiful, but also beautiful and new.

Xiaoyin smiled on her lips, held a small bouquet of white roses in her hand, and said to Aizhen with a smile: "I heard that you are sick, I came uninvited, don't blame me for bothering." ”

She took the bouquet of roses from Xiaoyin's hand and said happily: "How can I blame you, it's too late to be happy." ”

As she spoke, Mama Li served a few plates of hot pastries and brought a pot of new tea. She hurriedly asked Xiaoyin to sit down, asked Mama Li to fill the vase with water, and personally inserted the roses into the vase.

Xiaoyin looked at her very carefully and asked, "Seeing that you are so haggard, how are you sick?" ”

She smiled: "I had a fever in the rain the day before yesterday, and I have only been lying in bed for a few days after such a toss." You can come and see me, it already makes me feel better. ”

Xiao Yin smiled and said, "By the way, let me ask you, do you have an admirer named Ye Ziheng?" ”

She wondered in her heart, and said lightly: "Hey, why do you keep hearing this person's name lately." ”

Xiaoyin raised her eyebrows, her expression full of meaning, "Originally, I wasn't sure, but when you say that, don't you implement my words." ”

After hearing this, Ai Zhen said with interest, "Are there any rumors about him and me recently?" ”

Xiaoyin said: "It's not a rumor, it's just that you don't know about staying at home - by the way, I have to report one thing to you before, originally my father thought that Mister Ye was a good candidate for a son-in-law, and when he was drunk, he also told his father a few jokes, and then naturally there was no follow-up." ”

Since Xiaoyin said this calmly, it proved that there was nothing to be embarrassed about. So she urged: "Fourth cousin, don't sell Guanzi, what are the rumors?" ”

Xiao Yin smiled: "Listen to me slowly, according to that Misterye, he admires you very much, and is very willing to be engaged to you, Misterye's father seems to have talked to your father." ”

After hearing this, Aizhen was at a loss for a while, frowned, and did not answer. She panicked and thought that she and Ziheng had only met three times. talked about engagement, the two have not yet established a formal relationship, how could he propose an engagement, this is really very abrupt.

Xiao Yin looked at her face, and said slowly: "I always feel that you are engaged like this, it is too hasty." ”

She pulled herself together and smiled, "Although I know Mystery, I would never have thought of being engaged to him, and besides, I have no intention of emulating the old marriage. ”

Xiaoyin smiled: "So, he's your boyfriend?" ”

"Not technically," she said. She didn't deny it, she didn't admit it.

Xiaoyin said with great interest: "Then you talk, how did the two of you meet?" ”

Ai Zhen lowered his eyes and said, "At first, I met once during dinner, and then I found out that he was a friend of Chengxian's cousin, so I met him, but in fact, I haven't met a few times." ”

Xiaoyin winked at her and smiled, "You like him a lot, don't you?" ”

Ai Zhen smiled and wanted to change the conversation, "Fourth cousin, you speak so bluntly, don't you think I'm made of wood and won't be shy?" ”

Xiaoyin said: "Hey, you said you would be shy, I can't believe it." ”

Ai Zhen put her hand on her shoulder, approached Xiaoyin, and asked half-laughing, half-smiling, half-chasing, "In your eyes, my skin is so thick?" ”

Xiaoyin smiled: "Anyway, I haven't seen it in the past, what is there in the world that can teach you that Miss Xiang San is shy and red-cheeked." ”

Ai Zhen smiled and said, "You don't know, that's because I always put powder on it in the past, but I didn't put powder on it today, but my face was too yellow, and I covered the red." ”

Xiaoyin pursed her lips and said, "You are really eloquent, I won't be with you anymore." ”

Aizhen smiled blindly, and Xiaoyin said again: "Whether you like that Mister leaf or not, I am kind enough to say a word to you." In a family like ours with some wealth, the marriage of children is always difficult to get rid of the shadow of old-style marriage. If you're going to be in love, it's natural to socialize with others, but at the same time, don't completely ignore the future. ”

Aizhen sighed and said, "I'm like this, what else do I think about in the future?" ”

Xiaoyin smiled: "What? If you have an illness, you will be taught to have this kind of negative emotion. ”

There seem to be a thousand troubles in the heart of love, and it is difficult to say. She smiled bitterly: "Anyway, our relationship is so close, I will have a heart-to-heart with you." Third cousin, it probably seems to you that I am very stupid in what I have just said, but I do have a thought. Getting engaged is too complicated - it's very easy to fall in love with the same person, but when it comes to getting married, it's very different. ”

Xiaoyin thought for a while and echoed: "I agree, but whenever two people are happy, they always start to be like glue, and the later they go, the weaker their feelings become." Men, in particular, often start to think about it as soon as they have money. In the present society, all feudal habits have changed, but the atmosphere of favoring men has not changed. ”

Ai Zhen smiled: "Listening to your reasoning, I thought of one thing. I don't know what happened to Mysterye's family, but I don't think we were going to leave them alone. Aren't men like Misterye more fickle? ”

Xiaoyin said: "That's true, but it's not all right, there is a suspicion of overturning a boatload of people." While there are many men in the world who do not treat their wives with respect, there are others who respect and love their wives. Do you want to cut off your relationship with men and become a nun because of the former? It's impossible. ”

Ai Zhen said: "I don't understand, but just casually, who is impatient to become a nun." She looked at the vase on the table and asked, "This flower is so fresh, must it not have been bought?" ”

Xiaoyin smiled: "You guessed it, it was planted in my yard." ”

Ai Zhen said: "In my garden in Shanghai, there are no white roses, I really want to follow the example of European houses, plant a row of flowers on the railing of the bedroom balcony, and then look at it from afar, I don't know how beautiful it is." It's just that this time my grandmother passed away, and maybe when we go back, the summer vacation is almost over, and I don't have time to play with the roses. ”

As she spoke, Xiaoyin seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and she thought about it, and the smile on her face gradually increased unconsciously.

Seeing this, Ai Zhen remembered what happened in the hotel that day, that is, a secret tacit understanding between them. Seeing Xiaoyin's distraction, he asked tentatively: "Fourth cousin, when you went home this time, didn't you have any conflicts with your second cousin and second cousin?" ”
