When the dinner was about to start, Master Meng sent a few maids and women to Meng Jiao's side to invite people.

By the time Meng Jiao came to the main hall, Liu Qingqing had already taken her daughter to her seat.

Liu Qingqing was dressed in a water-red phoenix feather gown, wearing a string of glass beads that was fashionable in Beijing around her neck, her fingers were like cutting onion roots, and her mouth was like containing Zhu Dan, sitting there with a slight smile, which made people feel like they wanted to get close for no reason.

The second lady Meng Yuan sitting next to her was even more pink.

The little girl who has been pampered since she was a child is like a fairy in the Nine Heavens who is ignorant of the world.

I don't know the eight bitterness of the world, but I only know the sweetness of the mouth.

"Oh, our eldest lady is here, come and sit next to Erniang, you don't know, what kind of joy your father has become after picking you up, and now you are still staring at them in the small kitchen to cook your favorite meals."

Liu Qingqing watched Meng Jiao enter the door, hurriedly got up, and grabbed Meng Jiao's hand very warmly, as if Meng Jiao was her biological daughter.

Straight to the maids who were waiting for him were startled, and secretly muttered to himself when the second lady became so amiable.

Meng Jiao was held by her hand and felt uncomfortable for a moment, but fortunately, Liu Qingqing let go after sitting down.

It's not bad to think with her, this Erniang is really a person who can do things and calculate, and her words are just right, which is very pleasing to children.

It's a pity that although she is not big, she is not an ignorant child.

How could her father, who had ignored her for thirteen years, know what she liked?

It's just a beautiful word on the face, buying people's hearts.

"Father Lao and Erniang are bothered."

The lukewarm words made Liu Qingqing a little unable to answer for a while, and secretly scolded Meng Jiao in her heart for not knowing what to do.

But today's occasion can't be left alone.

Seeing that Meng Jiao didn't want to accept the relationship between father and daughter, Liu Qingqing thought for a moment, and then changed to a sentence that she was sure that Meng Jiao would be interested in.

"You are our family's young lady, you should bother, if it weren't for the fact that your mother died because of your blood collapse when she gave birth to you, and then a wandering Taoist priest came and said that your life is yin, where is your father willing to send you to that little village to stay for thirteen years, your child is so hard, Erniang feels distressed when she thinks about it."

Liu Qingqing said, and actually shed tears.

Meng Jiao was a little stunned, this was the first time in thirteen years that someone shed tears of distress because of her life experience.

In addition, Liu Qingqing mentioned her mother in her words, which aroused Meng Jiao's mother's sorrow, and unconsciously, Meng Jiao took off a little guard against Liu Qingqing.

"Erniang, don't be sad, no matter what, haven't I survived it now?"

"It's... Yes, you see that Erniang really feels sorry for you, I didn't hold back for a while, today is such a good day, I can't shed tears and rush your joy, look at your sister, I am very happy to know that you are back, and I deliberately put on one of her favorite clothes. ”

Meng Yuan listened to her mother's words, hurriedly stood up and ran to Meng Jiao to take a turn and show her the new clothes she had specially put on.

Everyone present knows what a child can think about, and how to change into new clothes?

It must have been taught to her by an adult, and it goes without saying who this adult is.

But Meng Jiao likes it a lot, she is still a child after all, and someone is constantly releasing kindness, so she will naturally open her heart little by little.

This meal is naturally enjoyable, if it weren't for Meng Jiao's fact that she really doesn't like to live with people, I'm afraid that she would really follow Liu Qingqing's proposal and stay with her in her yard for one night.

However, Liu Qingqing saw that Meng Jiao was unwilling not to force her over, and Meng Yuan, who was like a child, was not so easy to deal with.

"I'm just going to live with my sister, I'm going to live with my sister! I like my sister, and I want to follow her! ”

"Yuan'er, be obedient and don't make trouble, my sister just came back, and I'm not familiar with you yet, if you are so messing around, my sister won't like you."

Liu Qingqing coaxed Meng Yuan, who was crying, but suddenly thought in her heart, if she could let Meng Jiao relax and take Yuan'er with her, wouldn't it be much better than inserting her mother-in-law into Meng Jiao's kitchen?

After all, Yuan'er is her biological flesh and blood, and her blood and family relationship are here, and she doesn't know how much more reliable than those mothers-in-law.

"I don't! I don't! My father told me that he wanted me to be closer to my sister, and when I was just having dinner, my sister also said that she liked me very much, and I was going to follow my sister anyway, and I was going to follow! Sister, will you not want me? ”

It's really hard to coax the little girl to cry, and Liu Qingqing has a plan in her heart.

Therefore, he didn't plan to really coax, but pretended to be accidentally broken free by Meng Yuan, and let Meng Yuan run to Meng Jiao's side and entangle.

Meng Jiao has been alone for thirteen years, and has never dealt with children, especially this child is still her closest relative.

Meng Jiao looked at Meng Yuan, who was holding her cuffs and swaying vigorously, only to feel a little panicked in her heart, and a little imperceptible joy.

It's probably the first time in so many years that someone likes to be with her so much.

"No, if you like to stay with me, then live together, Erniang, Yuanyuan will live with me first, do you think it's okay?"

What's wrong with this, Meng Jiao can let go so quickly, Liu Qingqing is very happy in her heart.

Yuan'er eats and lives with her, and she must be able to notice her every move, which is really an unexpected joy.

Therefore, after the banquet was dispersed, Meng Jiao took Meng Yuan back to her courtyard.

There was one more little girl, Liu Qingqing originally wanted to take advantage of this excuse to stuff in a few temporary slaves while the iron was hot, but Meng Jiaowan refused.

According to Meng Jiao's words, she has taken care of herself for so many years, but she has just added a younger sister, and she doesn't need anyone to serve her, she can take care of the two of them by herself.

"Sister, your yard is so beautiful, much more beautiful than the one I live in!"

"If you like, there is a living hot spring in the inner room, let's wash it and go to sleep."

Meng Yuan couldn't help but be amazed when she heard this, and quickly ran into the inner room, Meng Jiao heard the little girl's surprised cry at the door, and walked in, and saw Meng Yuan lying on the edge of the pool playing happily with water.

"Sister, it's so nice here! I was still worried before you came back, worried about whether you would dislike me when you came back, worried that with you, my father and mother would not hurt me, but I am not worried at all now, my father and mother will still hurt me, and my sister will also hurt me, so I will have three relatives! ”

The kindness of children is always expressed clearly, Meng Jiao smiled unconsciously, walked over and picked up Meng Yuan, who was playing, with some difficulty.

She doesn't speak very well, but she really wants to treat this sister well.

It's just that children can show kindness to each other, adults, but it's not so simple.

After Liu Qingqing saw Meng Jiao and Meng Yuan leave, he hurried to Master Meng's courtyard who left the table early under the pretext of being drunk.

The husband and wife talked at night, Master Meng did not look drunk at all, and Liu Qingqing did not return to the warm and cordial atmosphere at the banquet.

Tonight, the moon is bright, and I don't know whose house the autumn thoughts are.
