Chapter 199: The Li Family's Father and Son
Fortunately, although Chu Jiayin was born in a rich and noble family, she didn't keep the rules because of her good life, and she knew the rules anyway. Now in front of such a scene, it can still be in danger.
She recalled how the girls who had the best girls did it, and how they made it, gently put her hand on Leng Lan's hand, and then got out of the car slowly, as if getting off the car was a difficult thing for her delicate and delicate body!
When those servants saw Chu Jiayin's appearance for the first time, they all had surprised expressions on their faces. Obviously, although everyone has never seen Liu Qingqing, they seem to have heard of her appearance and the like.
When Chu Jiayin entered the door, the subordinate who was standing next to him and waiting secretly said to his partner: "Didn't you say that you look mediocre?" This appearance can still be mediocre, what kind of beauty should this other women in Jiangnan look like? If you don't find a daughter-in-law in the future, you will go to Jiangnan. β
After saying that, the man was still snickering at himself. Chu Jiayin and Leng Lan both heard it, and the two of them rolled their eyes helplessly in their hearts at the same time. This man, it's really all superficial things! However, if there is a choice, the girls should also choose the one they look like, right?
It's a pity that in this era, marriage has always been the order of the parents, and the discipline of girls is even stricter. Who would dare to like the man on the girl's side.
Lord Li heard that the daughter of the Liu family was coming, so he hurriedly brought his wife over to greet him.
As soon as Mrs. Li saw someone, she hurriedly walked up a few steps to take a look, saw her appearance clearly, and couldn't help but sigh: "I haven't seen you for many years, but Qingqing is getting better and better." Auntie, I can't even tell it's you. β
Chu Jiayin hung his head, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said softly: "I may not have seen you for a long time, but you are still as beautiful as before." β
"Look, the girl raised by this scholarly family is well-behaved, sensible and sweet-mouthed." Mrs. Li was praised for being young, and her heart was full of joy for a while, and she also wasted her mind to praise her future daughter-in-law.
When Chu Jiayin heard this, he froze for a while. Ha? Literary family? Don't let her play the piano, paint, write and write poetry or something, although she can barely do it, but her little effort is completely embarrassing, if you really want to be worthy of the four characters of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, it is far from it.
Let's talk about this chess game, hehe. She didn't know at all, and it wasn't that she didn't learn it at the beginning, but it was so difficult that she didn't even understand the rules, and she didn't understand how many chess pieces she could play in a game.
Master Li said beside him, "Let's go into the house first." The sun hadn't gone down yet, and it was hot standing outside. β
"Good, good. Qingqing, come into the house with me. Mrs. Li grabbed Chu Jiayin's hand and led the person inside.
Leng Lan hurriedly followed the two.
Later, Master Li said to a servant, "Hurry up and go to Xiliang to find the son back." β
Leng Lan's ears were sharp, and because the maid brought by Mrs. Li blocked her way, she had to lean back, so she listened to Lord Li's words. At this time, why is the son of the Li family in Xiliang?
The Li family's inner house is very simple, barely a bit like an official family. The things raised in the yard are all inconspicuous flowers and plants, and you can't even see the slightest luxury. The stone ornaments I occasionally see seem to have been picked up casually from the river.
So poor?
Mrs. Li said some homely words to Chu Jiayin, and Chu Jiayin tried her best to think carefully before answering, although many things were almost exposed, but fortunately, in the end, Mrs. still believed it and did not embarrass her. He also said that he was tired from the bumps on the road, so he sent someone to send Chu Jiayin to the guest room to rest.
Chu Jiayin was relieved that he had just gotten out of the sea of suffering, entered the house, and was sure that everyone outside the door was his own people. sat down, grabbed the snacks on the table without eating, Leng Lan then entered the room, and when she saw her like this, she hurriedly said, "You look like a little bit of a big lady!" β
She also found a chair and sat down, pretending to be an obedient maid for a long time, which really made this aunt feel unhappy.
Chu Jiayin chewed the snack and said with a smile: "Sister Leng Lan, you don't know, I thought I could eat lunch today." Who knew that we had been waiting there for several hours, and when we really came to Li's house, it was almost time for dinner. Just now the old lady pulled me and said this and that, but I was starving! Speaking of which, shouldn't you have a meal at this time? Why is there no movement at all? β
Although the dim sum can temporarily suppress hunger, Chu Jiayin swallowed a few pieces, only feeling that his stomach was a little satisfied, but his mouth was not satisfied. In the end, people who want to rely on firewood, rice, oil and salt to continue their lives, can't eat the taste of oil and salt for a day, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.
In the morning, she still nibbled on sweet biscuits, and when the sweet stuff came into her mouth, it would soon have a sour taste, which forced her to want to taste the salty taste now, or the spicy taste with salt in it.
Leng Lan snatched all the snacks on the table and said, "If you eat like this again, those people will find out that you are not Liu Qingqing after a while, then it will be miserable!" β
Liu Qingqing is a real lady, elegant manners, and polite. Eating must also be a small bite, and a bowl of rice will be satisfied with half a bowl. Where can he gobble up like Chu Jiayin, who looks like he can eat three bowls in one meal?
Chu Jiayin looked at Leng Lan in despair, stretched out her hand to grab another piece, and said pitifully: "Sister Leng Lan, I'm hungry!" I'm afraid that this family really doesn't care about eating, and they don't even set up food when it's almost dark, could they just send me back to rest so that they can eat secretly? In that case, Miss Liu is really miserable, and she will definitely have to endure hardships when she marries in the future. β
"Don't think about it, I've just seen it, and I'm planning to set up a meal. It's just that his son-in-law is still in Xiliang, so he probably has to wait, but it shouldn't take long. Don't eat it, you really can't eat it for a while, and you regret it. β
Leng Lan said this, but she grabbed a piece of dim sum and sent it to her mouth, and she was disgusted after eating: "Phew, what the hell is this made of, it's so unpalatable, it's tired to death!" β
It seems that Sister Leng Lan is not only hot-tempered, but also hot-tempered! Chu Jiayin leaned over to her and said, "If you don't eat it, give it to me!" I can't wait any longer, I'm really starving! Sister Leng Lan, you must be hungry too, right, otherwise you wouldn't have eaten this thing. β
"Can't eat it!" Leng Lan said resolutely, holding the snack in her arms.
Chu Jiayin threw herself down in front of her and begged her: "Good sister, let me take a bite, just take a bite!" β
Leng Lan couldn't stand it anymore, but she resolutely didn't change her mind, and only said, "Did I say that you are like this to Chu Jingyan on weekdays?" Can't you see it, he actually likes this? β
"I'm just ...... Not at all! Chu Jiayin hurriedly got up from the ground, panicked, and tried to cover up.
However, some things are always getting darker and darker, not to mention that this is a fact. On weekdays, Chu Jiayin is always sure that as long as she is coquettish in front of her second brother, the other party will promise her everything, so she naturally has no face and no skin to hum and chirp in front of Chu Jingyan.
"Tsk! No? "Leng Lan's face is full of writing, I have seen through you!
"Miss Liu, someone from the Li family is looking for you." Outside the door they reminded.
Chu Jiayin was in a hurry, turned around and asked Leng Lan: "Sister Leng Lan, I'm like this now, no problem, can you help me take a look?" Is the bun messy? β
"Tsk! You're still rolling around on the ground just now, and your hair is not messy, and you're about to die! Leng Lan put the dim sum on the table, got up and came over to help Chu Jiayin tidy it up, and said to the people outside the door, "Let them wait, saying that the girl was sleepy and slept for a while just now, and she was telling someone to get up." β
After a period of chaos, Chu Jiayin finally turned back into a dignified young lady and walked out of the door generously. The servants did not dare to enter the courtyard, so they had to stand guard at the gate of the courtyard.
"Miss Liu, Mrs. and Master ordered us to come and take you to the front yard for dinner." The servant who came said.
Chu Jiayin leaned over slightly, and gave a salute: "Qingqing knows, please lead the way." β
"Miss Liu is polite, please come with me." The servant was a little flattered, but thinking of Liu Qingqing's situation, he still accepted it.
If it weren't for the fact that she was the fiancΓ©e of the Li family, her current status would be one more free body than these people, and it would not be a big deal. It's just that such a good-looking person in front of him, he always feels that the immortals are descended to earth, and he dare not underestimate him!
On the other side of the front yard, Li Rong, the son of the Li family, was reluctantly dragged back by the servants, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw his father staring there, and his legs trembled with fright for a while.
"Daddy, why do you have to call me back?" Li Rong didn't make trouble, he also broke free from the servant's hands, shook his sleeves, and the whole appearance of a merry boy was very unreliable.
Master Li blew his beard and glared, scolded this unfilial son, and said, "What do you want to do when you are out of the house all day long?" Still going to Xiliang? β
Hearing this, Li Rong couldn't help but laugh and said, "Didn't you make it so that there were no dozen living people in a radius of ten miles on our side?" If I don't go to Xiliang, can I stay here and brag and play with ghosts? You can pull it down! If this continues, I'll become a fool sooner or later, so be happy then! β
Master Li was so angry that his face was full of dishes, and he couldn't refute the facts, so he could only pull down his face first and say, "Your fiancΓ©e has come to our house, and you can entertain you in a while." The daughter of the Liu family is very well raised, like a good wife and mother, don't treat others badly in the future. β
"Gotcha! You can let me go, I hated her when she was a child, and you have to ask me to marry her, I almost hit the wall with tears. And now you still don't let me go? Her father and mother are dead, and those broken agreements in the past should have been stopped a long time ago! β
