"You're going to be more restrained!"

Mrs. Yongkang Hou took her son's hand and warned in a low voice.

Chen Erlang smiled and said: "I just take a few more looks, such a beauty, it's rare to see it." ”

Mrs. Yongkang Hou snorted lightly: "No matter how beautiful it is, it's not the dish in your bowl, you know what you're doing today." ”

Chen Erlang was immediately deflated: "I know." "Isn't it just here to ventilate? He pouted, he hadn't seen what Meng Huiyun looked like, although he was also a beautiful woman, but he was far worse than Meng Qingyun.

Lu Shi, who was leading the way in front, turned around and said, "Please." ”

Mrs. Yongkang Hou and Chen Erlang followed her into the gate of Le Shou Tang.

The old lady had already packed up and waited for a while, and when the group entered the main hall, she got up and greeted her slightly.

"Old lady Ann!"

The old lady didn't let Mrs. Yongkang Hou really salute, and directly held her arm, and said angrily: "You haven't been here for a long time." ”

Mrs. Yongkang Hou also took advantage of the situation to support her and said, "There are many things at home these days, and I am busy for a while, so I can't come over." It's just that I didn't expect the second lady to go all of a sudden, and the old lady must be very sad, but she must take care of herself. ”

The old lady and Mrs. Yongkang Hou sat on the main couch, Lu sat on the left side of the house, and Chen Erlang sat on the right side. The maidservants quickly served the melons and fruits that had been prepared long ago, and retreated lightly to the sides, hanging their hands and standing solemnly.

The old lady took a handkerchief and pressed the corner of her eyes, sobbed twice, and said: "My daughter-in-law, she is the most docile and quiet on weekdays, and never troubles me. It's just that she has always been weak and sickly, and when she gave birth to Yuanniang, she was greatly injured, and she had to stay in bed to recuperate every spring and autumn, and this year's spring is worse than before. We are our own people, we might as well tell the truth, we have actually been prepared in our hearts for a long time, so we were not caught off guard. ”

Everyone sighed for a while.

Mrs. Yongkang Hou asked again: "The second lady is gone, the second official will inevitably be worried, I don't know when I will come back?" ”

Lu Shi hurriedly replied: "The letter has been sent a long time ago, but Laizhou is far away, and I heard that there are rogues making trouble, so I am afraid that there will be delays on the road." ”

Mrs. Yongkang Hou said: "It's just that I pity Yuan Niang, my mother is gone, my father has not returned, and there is no one to take the backbone for her, everything has to rely on you, the aunt, to take care of everything." ”

Lu Shi smiled to himself: "This is how it should be." ”

While they were talking, Chen Erlang was bored playing with the lid of the teacup, still thinking about the beauty in his mind.

At this time, someone came in to report: "Da Lang and Hui Niang are here." ”

Lu Shi quickly glanced at Mrs. Yongkang Hou and said, "Call them in." ”

A young man and woman entered the door. Da Lang Mengzhi has a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is tall, but his body is thin, his spring shirt is thin, and he looks slightly like a bamboo pole. Meng Huiyun is of medium height, wearing plain clothes, the hair of the crow is pulled into a delicate bun, a string of pearls the size of rice grains and two fragrant jasmine flowers, a small melon seed face, thin eyebrows and phoenix eyes, two shallow pear vortices on the cheeks, a typical Jiangnan woman Lingxiu charm.

The brother and sister came in and saluted the elders respectively, and met Chen Erlang with the peer ceremony.

Meng Huiyun raised her eyes to look at him, and then quickly lowered her eyelids, and a trace of blush appeared on her face. Her delicate appearance also attracted Chen Erlang to look at her more, and he smiled at the corners of his mouth. Meng Huiyun became more and more shy.

Mrs. Yongkang Hou stretched out her hand with a smile and said, "Hui Niang, come here." ”

Meng Huiyun walked a few steps to her, and Mrs. Yongkang Hou took her hand and rubbed it gently, saying, "It's really getting more and more standard." ”

Lu Shi smiled: "It's okay to look good, but she has gained a lot of popularity recently, which can be regarded as comforting to me." As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve.

"Oh?" Mrs. Yongkang Hou took the handkerchief from the venue, carefully examined the butterfly and peony patterns on it, and praised, "It's really vivid." Such a good girl, I don't know which family will be blessed to marry back as a daughter-in-law in the future. ”

Meng Huiyun was suddenly shy, lowered her head and stepped back, hiding behind the Lu family.

Lu said: "She can be naughty on weekdays, but I look forward to having a powerful mother-in-law to control her in the future." ”

"Mother~~" Meng Huiyun stomped her feet coquettishly and angrily.

The old lady was secretly unhappy in her heart, and the family was still doing funerals, so she couldn't wait to come to the secret song, although she didn't explain it, but who couldn't see what it meant. Although she doesn't like her second daughter-in-law, she is also a little tired of this kind of behavior, so she doesn't answer.

Seeing that she didn't go to the Tao, Lu Shi had to say to Meng Zhi: "You and Erlang may not have seen each other for a long time, and it is boring to accompany us, so you can go shopping by yourself." ”

Meng Zhiba had to listen to the chatter of the girls, and immediately stood up to greet Chen Erlang; Chen Erlang was also impatient, so he got off the donkey.

Lu Shi immediately gently pushed Meng Huiyun: "Now that the family is busy, I can't take care of it, you go and make refreshments for your brother and Erlang Zhang Luo." ”

She deliberately kicked out the young people so deliberately, apparently for the convenience of the elders to discuss serious matters.

Meng Huiyun understood, answered softly, and went out with Meng Zhi and Chen Erlang.

As soon as he got out of the yard, Meng Zhi was as jubilant as a horse without his chains, and put his arm around Chen Erlang's shoulder: "Good boy, in the name of travel, how many places have you been chic in the past few years?" Don't say come and see my brother! ”

Chen Erlang said with a smile: "I heard that my sister-in-law is a beauty, I was not there when I got married, and I didn't have a chance to see her." ”

Meng Zhi said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, your sister-in-law is so bad, even if you have a good mouth, don't accompany me to drink two cups." ”

As he spoke, he dragged him to the courtyard of his own couple.

Meng Huiyun reminded in the back: "Brother, pay attention, the family is still holding a funeral, maybe I will call you to meet the guest in a while." ”

As soon as the words fell, a servant girl caught up from behind.

"Dalang! Dalang and so on! The maidservant ran to her, "The eldest lady asked you to go to the front to meet the guests, and the uncle of the Bai family in She County is here." ”

Meng Zhi paused: "Which uncle is here?" ”

The second lady, the Bai family, has two brothers.

"It's the second uncle."

The Meng family is basically a female family member at home now, the senior official is in Beijing, the second official has not yet returned, and there is only one adult man at home, Meng Zhi, who has a male guest, so naturally he can only be asked to receive him.

Meng Zhi stretched out his hands to Chen Erlang and said, "This is no way. ”

What can Chen Erlang say, he can only express understanding. Meng Huiyun wished that his brother was not there, but urged: "Brother, go quickly." ”

Meng Zhi walked with the maidservant, and asked as he went, "Where is Uncle Bai now?" ”

"I'm going straight to the mourning hall."

When Chen Erlang heard it, his heart moved, he thought of the beauty in the mourning hall, and hurriedly shouted: "Da Lang wait for me, I will go with you." ”

As he spoke, he trotted up and chased after him, walking side by side with Meng Zhi.

"Hey......" Meng Huiyun was stunned, what do you mean.
