Chapter 65: Who's Sister?
Qian Ning was stunned when asked, she only felt that getting married was inevitable, and after getting married, she was trying to find a way to settle down, and as for whether she was happy or not, she hadn't considered it. And whether Zhao Luoyan can bring happiness to himself, the answer is no for now. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
These few times when he came back, Zhao Luoyan still stayed in Listening to Yuxuan for a day and Yongmei Zhai for a day, but it was really wet with rain and dew, and a bowl of water was flat. It's just that the difference within is only known to the parties involved.
Listening to Yuxuan, Zhao Luoyan seems to be fulfilling his obligations, usually just having a meal, chatting without saltiness, and then blowing the lantern and doing the clouds and rain. Occasionally, Qianning wants to find some topics to talk about, don't let herself be like a sow who only has the function of giving birth, so as to cultivate the common interests of the two. It's a pity that Luohua is deliberately ruthless, and Zhao Luoyan always sends it away in a few words. After a few times, Qianning also gave up.
And in Yongmei Zhai, although Qianning didn't see it in person, but every time Zhao Luoyan rested, Lian Chengmei would always be late for a while when she got up in the morning, and after she came, there were all kinds of coquettishness, how to have backache, Tian and Cui were anxious for their heirs, and they didn't say anything. Qian Ning will not go on the pole to please boring, so showing off Zhao Luoyan's thoughtfulness and favor has become a must-do track for Lian Chengmei.
Thinking of all this, and then facing Mengying's question, Qian Ning didn't know how to answer, saying that it was happiness, it was too contrary to her will, and she said that she was not happy, if this word spread out, it would be another storm. only smiled lightly, took the red handkerchief in Mengying's frame, and touched it: "Happiness in the world is like a fish drinking water, and you know your warmth and coldness." When I arrived at the Hou Mansion, I had a good mother-in-law who cared about me everywhere like my mother, and a good sister like Ying'er, who talked happily with each other, how could I not be happy? ”
These words show that life in the Hou Mansion is happy and harmonious, but it is not clear whether it is good to marry Zhao Luoyan or not, which can be regarded as Qianning's true words.
Mengying said "oh", as if she understood whether she understood or not, and heard Qianning bluntly say that she liked herself, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "I also think it's very happy to have a sister-in-law like my sister-in-law." ”
Meng Ying is so innocent, Yu Qianning's heart is like a warm current, whose daughter's family will not have anything unsatisfactory? Other people's families may be loving husband and wife, but mother-in-law and sister-in-law are difficult to get along, and they are just the opposite, which makes up for the disadvantages of this family business.
Qian Ning nodded Mengying's nose: "You, you love to be coquettish." ”
Meng Yinglai smiled coquettishly at Qianning: "This son is not coquettish, won't there be no chance when he marries in the future......" Seeing the handkerchief in Qianning's hand, she asked: "How does my sister-in-law think this handkerchief is embroidered?" ”
The handkerchief is embroidered with a lotus tree, a twisting vine, lined with blooming flowers, which is really festive. Qianning is not good at this, but she also feels lifelike, which is naturally a good compliment. The two sisters-in-law chatted until it was almost dinner time before they separated.
Since Liu's instructions, Qianning has gone to Yunhuatang for dinner. Today is no exception.
The chef of Yunhuatang also touched Qianning's preferences, every time there will be two or three of Qianning's favorite dishes on the table, and today there is a plate of Bazhen stewed bamboo shoots and a plate of bamboo chicken, all of which are made according to Qianning's taste.
Qian Ning's appetite is open when she looks at it, and she doesn't care about anything else, but as far as food is concerned, Yunhuatang is more than one or two times better than that of the big kitchen, and she is raised by such a good meal every day, and her appetite is raised, and she looks forward to this meal at night every day.
With good dishes, the meals are fragrant. You can eat two small bowls of yellow rice at a time. At first, Qianning felt embarrassed, afraid that Liu would laugh at herself, but later found out that Liu loved the fragrance of her meals, so she was not welcome. There is only one thing that gives Qianning a headache, and that is the hot soup that is necessary for every meal.
Although Qianning loves to drink soup, if this soup is full of other meanings, it will become a burden. However, this soup is what Liu told the kitchen to do, saying that it is beneficial to nourishing the body and strengthening the spleen, when he said this, Liu's eyes also glanced at Qianning's stomach, and the expression of wanting to speak fully explained the efficacy of this soup. It's a pity that Qianning fell into the night flower, and it can't be solved by soup and water.
However, Liu's intentions, Qian Ning is not easy to refuse, so she paralyzes herself This is just an ordinary soup, just try it.
Today's soup is Zhusun chicken soup, the chicken bones are stewed soft and rotten, the aroma of chicken has already been integrated into the soup, mixed with the taste of Zhusun, the meat aroma is sandwiched with fragrance, very attractive.
As soon as she opened the lid of the soup cup, Qian Ning was impressed by the fragrance, picked up the soup spoon and took a sip, which was as delicious as she imagined. Liu Shi looked at Qianning's satisfied appearance, and chewed a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Drink slowly, don't burn." ”
Qianning let out a "grace" and drank a big spoonful again. The moment he lowered his head to drink the soup, he missed the coldness that flashed in Mengqian's eyes on the other side.
After eating, Qianning stayed to talk to Liu, and Mengqian also sat together.
Knowing that Qianning came from Meng Ying, Liu asked about Meng Ying's preparation of the dowry.
"The handkerchief made by the third sister is very good, and the flowers are embroidered very realistically." Qian Ning said what she saw today. "There are other items of clothing, which are also being cut. The ladies on the needlework and the maids of the third sister are also doing well. ”
Liu nodded: "Ying'er was originally talented in needlework, although she jumped out of the sky and couldn't calm down to do these jobs, this regained her heart, but it was also presentable." The sister-in-law should be relieved when she sees it. ”
Qian Ning remembered Mengying's sigh, but she was afraid that she could change her temperament if she was not detained for a day or two.
"I hope my Qian'er can also find a wishful family." Liu then sighed, looking at Mengqian's gaze with pity.
This is the first time that Liu has talked about Mengqian's family affairs in front of him, and he thought she was very calm and not in a hurry, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
Mengqian was originally sitting coldly and didn't speak, as soon as Liu's words came out, Mengqian's face couldn't hold back, she was a little girl in the end, and her cheeks couldn't help but be dyed red; "Mother, I'm not in a hurry."
"Meng Ying is younger than you, and she has decided to be married, how can you not be in a hurry?" Mengqian is the only remaining blood and blood of the Liu family, and she dreams of letting her marry a good family, "It's a pity that I'm widowed, it's not good to go out and walk around, and you have a cold personality, but how can you let others see your goodness." ”
Meng Qian pouted and said coldly: "Okay, what can it be?" Who to marry, isn't it the same pitiful in the end? It's better not to get married. ”
Mengqian's words shocked Qianning, although she also thought about not marrying when she was a child, so she guarded her sister, but when she was older, she knew that it was too difficult not to marry, like Master, she was already a heroine among women, but it was still not easy, let alone herself? Since then, there has been no intention of not marrying. But how could a lady like Mengqian have such thoughts?
"What are you talking about?" Liu's face sank, "It is human nature for a man to marry a woman to marry. Such nonsense, don't think about it again in the future! ”
Mengqian is a strong-tempered person, where is Liu's saying that one is one: "I'm not talking nonsense, I'm serious." When my mother married a father, wasn't it husband and wife's love? But what about the father? didn't say anything about the concubine, and hurt the eldest brother because of it......"
"Shut up!" Liu immediately shouted angrily, the look on his face was not gloomy and could be described, and he was a little ruthless, "You are really confused, and you keep talking nonsense!" ”
Mengqian bit her lip and stopped talking, but her expression was still unwilling.
It can be seen that Liu is worried about what Mengqian will say, and Liu obviously doesn't want to let him know about these things. Isn't my father-in-law just like the outside world rumored, because of the loss of his beloved son and ended up depressed? Qian Ning was suspicious.
With such an episode, Liu didn't want to stay with Qianning and Mengqian for a long time, so he didn't say a few words, so he said that he was going to rest. Qian Ning and Meng Qian got up and said goodbye.
Meng Qian was angry in her heart, and she didn't wait for Qian Ning, and walked straight out.
Qian Ning walked a few steps quickly and followed Mengqian: "Second sister, my mother is also for your good, don't be angry with your mother." Although she was very curious about the mystery in what Liu's mother and daughter said at the end, Qian Ning also knew that it would be fruitless to ask directly, so she should care about Mengqian's emotions first.
"If I'm not angry, you don't have to worry, I'm angry, I'll find a way to dissipate my anger, even if you say comforting words, it won't help."
rejected his kindness so quickly, it seems that he hasn't cultivated much affection after dining together with the Liu family these days. Qian Ning felt a sense of frustration, but she still smiled: "Second sister, although my words may not have much effect on your anger, it is always better to have someone to talk to than to sulk in life." What's more, sulking is not good for your health. ”
Mengqian glanced at Qianning coldly: "Sister-in-law, thank you for your concern, but it's really not necessary." With that, he turned and left.
Qian Ning touched a soft nail, so she had to say silently, I don't know which one is Zhao Luoyan's own sister, why are these two people a stinky temper that doesn't care about people.
