Chapter 343: Returning from a Trip to Explore Shuangshu
After Yao Shuangcheng finished speaking, he looked at the four people in front of him. Seeing that Ge Yanxing and Ran'er both bowed their heads and pondered, Yao Shuangcheng also knew that this matter was too difficult for them. So, I secretly planned in my heart that if Ran'er refused, then I would go back and simply reject the prince completely, whatever he did, no matter what, Ran'er Qinglian was also her son's life-saving benefactor.
Grandpa pondered for a moment, looked up at Ran'er, Ran'er also just raised his head to look at Grandpa, grandparents and grandchildren glanced at each other, but did not speak. Grandfather then said to Yao Shuangcheng:
"Brother Yao, this matter is not trivial, it's too late today, let's consider replying to Brother Yao."
"Brother Ge is right, this matter is not a trivial matter, you should think about it carefully. Don't be too embarrassed, it's a big deal that the old brother goes back and completely rejects Lord Rui, and he must not be able to do anything with me. ”
The next morning, it was as usual, and no one took the initiative to mention last night's events. After breakfast, Ran'er and Qinglian were about to learn the piano with their grandmother, when they suddenly heard the barking of rhubarb dogs from the fence courtyard. After a lot of effort, I saw Zhang Dazhu leading Chunshui to come, and Chunshui was followed by a young man, who looked slightly younger than Chunshui, but his appearance was very outstanding, and he looked gentle and elegant.
Ran Er and Qinglian hurriedly went downstairs and stepped forward.
"Brother Chunshui is here, I haven't seen you for a long time, Brother Chunshui has always been good?"
"Brother Chunshui, Lian'er hasn't seen you for a long time, why didn't you bring your sister-in-law with you?"
Ran Er and Qinglian greeted Chunshui one after another.
"Sister Ran'er, Sister Lian'er, after I lost the election in the spring of this year, I went out to travel with Brother Wen Daoxian, and I came to see you just a few days after I came back. By the way, this is Liu Wendao, my classmate and friend. ”
"Ran'er has seen Brother Wen Dao."
"Qinglian is polite."
"I've been hearing Brother Chunshui mention the two younger sisters, so I'll come to disturb Brother Chunshui today, and I ask the two sisters to forgive me for taking the liberty of it."
"Brother Wen Dao is polite, Brother Chunshui's friend, naturally not an outsider, please come to the house to talk."
At this time, my grandfather, who heard the voice, also came from the backyard to the hall in the front yard. Seeing Chunshui and Liu Wendao, the two polite descendants, he looked at Ran'er with inquiring eyes. Ran Er hurriedly introduced:
"Grandpa, this is Brother Chunshui who has been taking care of me and Lian'er, and this one is Brother Liu Wendao."
Ran Er said to Chunshui and Liu Wendao again:
"Brother Chunshui, Brother Wendao, this is Ran'er and Lian'er's grandfather."
"Chunshui has seen my grandfather."
"Wen Dao has seen his grandfather."
Ever since Qinglian knew that it was Liu Wendao who came with Chunshui, she muttered a little in her heart. That year, Aunt Zhang, the matchmaker in Xia Village, once came to propose marriage to Liu Wendao, and Qinglian naturally remembered it. Seeing that Liu Wendao also followed Chunshui to call his grandfather, he couldn't help but pout at Ran'er. Ran'er just didn't see it.
"The two juniors don't need to be polite, please sit down and talk."
Grandpa accompanied Chunshui and Liu Wendao to sit and talk in the hall, while Ran'er and Qinglian were busy making tea for the three of them.
"Ran'er and Lian'er often mention their Chunshui brothers, saying that they have always been cared for by your father and son, and I originally planned to go to Yangzhuang to thank your father and son."
"My grandfather's words are serious, but the Ran'er sisters have been providing eggs and sour bamboo shoots for the small wine shop opened by their father back then, if you want to talk about it, it should be Ran'er and Qinglian who take care of their father's wine shop."
The three of them chatted while drinking tea, and Ran'er and Qinglian knew from their conversation that Liu Wendao was now also a person. The last time Aunt Zhang came to propose, her grandfather told her to come back to hear the reply in a few days, but when Aunt Zhang came again, her grandfather had already returned to Cannes.
At this time, Yao Shuangcheng, who was accustomed to strolling around the bamboo forest after breakfast, also came back, and after some introduction, the four of them talked together in the hall in the front yard. Qinglian said to Ran'er in a low voice:
"Sister go and accompany grandma, Lian'er is in charge of making tea and pouring water here."
Ran Er glanced at Qinglian with a smile, turned to Chunshui and Liu Wendao and said:
"The two brothers are sitting here drinking tea, and then going to prepare lunch, Brother Chunshui finally came once, so let's eat lunch and leave."
After speaking, he opened the door and went out without waiting for Chunshui's reply. Ran Er came to the small building first and told her grandmother about the guests who came in front of her. Then he walked to the small courtyard of the fence and beckoned Aunt Zhang and Xiaoyu to come over and help prepare lunch together. Since Ran'er has always been grateful to Chunshui, this lunch was prepared very richly, and Qinglian made fun of Ran'er for a long time afterwards. Qinglian deliberately said that it was for Liu Wendao's sake that she prepared such a sumptuous lunch.
After the two left after lunch, Yao Shuangcheng went back to the room to rest. Grandpa followed Ran'er and Qinglian to the living room on the first floor of the small building. Grandpa's intention to come was well understood, and from the chat between grandpa, Chunshui and Liu Wendao at noon, Ran'er could see that grandpa praised Liu Wendao very much. After coming to the small building, I asked my grandfather to sit down, and Ran'er and Qinglian made tea for my grandfather, and sat down obediently. Grandma had already gone back to her room to rest.
"What does Ran'er think of Liu Wendao? That's what Mrs. Zhang said last time, right? ”
"Yes."
"My sister said that she is not interested in Liu Wendao."
Qinglian said to her grandfather. Ran Er looked at Qinglian and smiled, turned around and nodded to her grandfather, meaning that she agreed with Qinglian's statement.
"Ran'er will be seventeen years old after the Chinese New Year, and he can't delay it any longer, but my grandfather thinks that this Liu Wendao is not bad and can be worthy of Ran'er."
"Grandpa, Ran'er can't think about these things for the time being, and wants to wait for the results of my mother's affairs before talking about anything else."
"If your mother's soul takes three or five years to condense and form, won't it delay Ran'er's marriage?"
"Grandpa, our sisters have hooked up, and they will not marry in this life."
Qinglian's words made her grandfather laugh. I couldn't help but point my finger at Qinglian's forehead and said:
"You're a lotus, and you're thirteen years old during the Chinese New Year, why do you still say such childish things? It's time to find your in-laws the year after tomorrow, and see if you still say that you won't marry. ”
The three grandchildren laughed for a while, and the grandfather drank wine at noon, and when he was sleepy, he went back to the backyard to take a nap. After only Ran'er and Qinglian were left, Qinglian came to Ran'er's eyes, bent down and lowered her head, and stared at Ran'er's eyes very seriously for a long time. It wasn't until Ran'er couldn't bear it anymore and laughed out loud that Qinglian stood up straight, pretended to be a little adult, raised her head and said:
"Well, yes, I don't see any signs of Sichun from Miss Ran'er."
One sentence made Ran'er giggle, stood up, and chased Qinglian all over the house, wanting to tickle Qinglian's itchy flesh. didn't catch up with Qinglian for a long time, Ran Er laughed and panted, hugged her hands around her waist, and said to Qinglian:
"Okay, you Lian'er, who did you learn from when you were young?"
"What's the matter, sister."
"What don't you know, Sichun is also what we girls should say?"
"Isn't it just two words, written in many books, can you only read it but not say it?"
