Chapter 60: The Best of Both Worlds
Although the four of them all have their own hearts, the atmosphere is still very harmonious after this meal, especially Xue Yirou, she is very satisfied with her full food and drink. Immediately, he wiped his mouth and proposed: "Anyway, it's still early, why don't we go to enjoy the flowers in a while?" Now is the season when chrysanthemums are in full bloom, Xue Yirou has the heart to fight for the opportunity to be alone with Liangyue for her eldest cousin, her eyes rolled, and she said, "Why don't you go to my house, those flowers in my yard are growing well, make sure you like Sister Liangyue." ”
Xue Yirou looked at Liangyue with soft eyes, as if he was afraid that she would not agree, and turned his gaze full of anticipation to Zhou.
The Zhou family originally planned to take Liangyue to Xue Mansion for a trip, but now that they met on the way and had dinner together, there was no need to make another special trip, so she had already determined that Xue Yirou would go to Zhou Mansion to find her again. Since Xue Yirou likes to be close to Liangyue, why doesn't she be a favor? In this way, with Liangyue in the future, Xue Yirou and Zhou Mansion can also have more contact with her.
In just a few breaths, Zhou's mind turned a thousand times, and he had already figured out a lot. So he also turned his head to Liang Yue and smiled: "I have already sent someone to greet your father and mother, why don't you stay here for a few more days and go back when you have had enough." ”
Liang Yue couldn't wait to pull Su Yi to ask him what happened now, and when she heard Zhou say this, she was naturally happy in her heart, but she didn't want to show it, so as not to let Zhou detect that she was suspicious, so her face showed a little hesitation: "This ......"
"Oh, my sister Yue, what are you still hesitating about, don't worry, you will live with me these days, anyway, there is no one at home to talk to me and play with me, you went just right." Whatever you want to eat and play, just tell me, tell my cousin, anyway, I won't treat you badly, you just promise~Sister Yue~" Xue Yirou's coquettish and cute skills came easily, and he held Liangyue's arm and didn't let go, and he had the posture of "I won't let go if you don't agree".
Liang Yue couldn't stand her cuteness and coquettishness, and the goosebumps all over her body simply fell to the ground, so she had to pretend that she couldn't help it, and she reluctantly agreed.
Su Yi, who was looking at the audience, smiled slightly and did not speak.
Anyway, there was a little cousin here, and he wasn't worried that the Zhou family would not agree to let Liangyue come out.
So cousin or something, as long as it is used properly, it can definitely be used as a big killer to conquer the Quartet......
After a few more drinks of tea and chatted for a while, Zhou said that he was tired and wanted to go back to the house to rest, and after instructing Liangyue a few words, he left.
Sending Zhou away, Xue Yirou pulled Liangyue and Su Yi to sit down again, held her cheeks in one hand and took a piece of dim sum in the other and sent it to her mouth, her gossip eyes kept wandering back and forth between the two of them, and finally after a piece of dim sum was in her stomach, she clapped her hands and shook off the crumbs, and said, "Say, you two, what are you planning?" Don't say I think too much, I don't eat this, hurry up and make it clear to me. ”
Su Yi raised her eyebrows, she didn't want to hide it from her, but she originally planned to tell her after discussing it with Liang Yue, but she didn't expect her to see it herself, so she said "um", which was considered to explain to her: "This matter is a long story, Helan, do you remember?" ”
Xue Yirou recalled, "I have the impression that I was in the ...... before." Seen here? She and Zhou Zhiping? ”
"Yes, Helan and Zhou Zhiping are in love, but you can also see the attitude of the Zhou family, what the Zhou family wants is a good match." Su Yi explained to her that some things were not easy to talk about from Liangyue's standpoint, and Su Yi was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so she patiently explained to Xue Yirou back and forth.
Things have been put on the bright side, Xue Yirou still has something not to understand, after listening to Su Yi's words, she who has always been chattering is unprecedentedly silent.
Su Yi didn't speak anymore, and took Liang Yue's hand to play with her fingers.
It was Liang Yue, who was a little unsure of Xue Yirou's attitude for a while, and when she saw that she was suddenly quiet, she looked contemplative, which made her feel a little apprehensive.
Although now they already know the reason why Xue Yirou and the Zhou family are close - it is nothing more than for the sake of delicious food. But none of them can ignore a very important issue, that is, Xue Yirou's attitude towards Zhou Zhiping.
If she thinks about Zhou Zhiping the same as Helan, then wouldn't they be hurting her heart by doing this?
Zhou likes Xue Yirou, so he did not hesitate to beat the mandarin duck to break up Zhou Zhiping and Helan; She and Su Yi couldn't bear Helan to be sad, so they "made a hindrance" between Xue Yirou and Zhou Zhiping. In a sense, she, Su Yi, and Zhou are actually all the way.
Suddenly thinking of this possibility, Liang Yue became a little uneasy.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and Xue Yirou stood up suddenly, with her hands on her hips, and the expression on her face was very indignant.
Liang Yue's eyelids jumped, and she secretly said in her heart, isn't it?! She guessed it again?! Xue Yirou also likes Zhou Zhiping? Are you angry that she and Su Yi are sabotaging now......
Sure enough, in the next second, Xue Yirou said indignantly: "That's actually the case!" And sure enough, it was! ”
Don't look at Xue Yirou's usual giggling and not being in shape, but now that she is angry, the momentum around her body is also quite scary, especially when she also falls on Liang Yue's body with anger.
Cool Moon: "......"
Just when Liang Yue wanted to open her mouth to explain and calm her anger, she heard Xue Yirou exhale again: "I thought I was cute and beautiful, and the elders liked me!" I didn't expect this Mrs. Zhou to be like this! I treat her as a friend! And she wants to be my mother-in-law!! ”
It's infuriating!
Xue Yi couldn't be angry, and slapped the table again, not caring about the pain in her hand, because the loss and anger in her heart had made her eyes red.
Suzuki who was about to get up and explain: ????
Although Su Yirou, who was a little surprised by Xue Yirou's reaction, still had a calm face: ............
Your cousin is your cousin, and her thinking and brain circuits are strange, which is not comparable to ordinary people.
After a long time, Liang Yue switched back from being stunned and asked weakly, "...... So, you're angry that my aunt is beating you up? Instead of...... And not because I like Zhou Zhiping? ”
When Xue Yirou heard this, she became even more angry: "What is it!" How many times have I met that Zhou Zhiping in total? I just like him? Last time, I knew that he must be a bookish person, not to mention that I don't like him like that, even if he is sent to me, I am not rare to take a look, there is no arrogance at all! ”
Liang Yue was directly stunned by what she said.
"After listening to your words just now, I also have a general understanding of the matter, isn't Helan the girl I saw here last time? Mrs. Zhou wanted his son to meet me, but unfortunately I was eating here that day, and she came over. Later, when I went out after eating, I happened to meet Helan and Zhou Zhiping, you don't know, Mrs. Zhou's face at that time became faster than the person who changed her face, I saw that Helan's girl looked bad at that time, her eyes were red like a rabbit, she was wronged like this, but that Zhou Zhiping had to follow his mother's will first, thanks to Mrs. Zhou didn't say anything excessive at the time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to stand it as an outsider, if you want me to say, what's so good about that Zhou Zhiping? His sweetheart has been wronged, and he still wants to take care of the overall situation! If it were me, I'd rather choose a reckless man who doesn't care about anything, the kind that can't let me be wronged. Recalling it carefully, Xue Yirou's words were like surging rivers, and he couldn't stop for a while.
Liang Yue and Su Yi looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
But now Liangyue can finally put her mind at ease, she was worried that Xue Yirou was angry because she also liked Zhou Zhiping, but now it seems that she is completely worried about herself.
Looking at Xue Yirou's attitude, not only do I not like it, but there is a trace of ...... Can't look down?
Of course, the reason why Xue Yirou complained about Zhou Zhiping was not that he was a bad person, but because of different concepts and different positions.
Zhou Zhiping is also caught in the middle, one is the mother who gave birth to him and raised him, and the other is the woman he loves, no matter which side he leans, the other side will be hurt and sad. Maybe he wants to have the best of both worlds, but he has to have it, right? Out of humanitarianism, Liang Yue still explained to Zhou Zhiping a little.
Xue Yirou snorted and asked rhetorically, "Just him?" Let him think of the best of both worlds, he has to think of the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse? Could it be that he wanted to play the emotional card and make his mother put down his family views and accept Helan? ”
Liangyue: "...... Little cousin Yirou, you really seem to have said something......"
"Please, brother and sister-in-law, that Zhou Zhiping looks stupid when he looks at it, are you stupid after being friends with him for a long time?" Xue Yirou rolled her eyes and began to sit down and seriously analyze the person of the Zhou family with the two of them.
"The Zhou family and my family, as well as my cousin's family, although they have been in business for generations, but there are descendants in the family who are officials in the court, although the roots are businessmen, they can be supported by the saints today, and the business is all over the imperial city, even the border fortress is also involved, and even the treasury is counting on our three families to fill, looking at the entire imperial city, who dares to look down on our three families? Even if it is the prime minister today, he has to be polite to the three of us. However, the tree is very popular, powerful and rich also have disadvantages, such as the Zhou family, the son of the Zhou family wants to marry a wife, Mrs. Zhou attaches great importance to the right family, but her son can't marry the official lady, I guess Mrs. Zhou has not had this idea, but she also knows that if the Zhou family marries the daughter of the official family, no matter which official, no matter whether the official is big or small, as long as it is related to the official family, it will inevitably be suspicious of others, in order to avoid provoking the suspicion and displeasure of the saint, she can only target the family with the same background as the Zhou family, so the Su family, the Xue family, is the primary target. Xue Yirou stopped and took a big sip of water, glanced at her cousin, and continued, "But the Su family only has my cousin, so only my Xue family is left, and my eldest sister is already married, so I have become Mrs. Zhou's target." She, in order to have a good relationship with me, did not hesitate to cook herself and cook food to coax me, which shows that she is ready to not stop until she reaches her goal. I think if Zhou Zhiping made up his mind to marry Helan and forced Mrs. Zhou to be anxious, she might directly recognize Helan as her righteous daughter, so that they became brother and sister, even if they wanted to be together, it was basically impossible. ”
Liang Yue's mood at this moment was very complicated, and she couldn't help but say, "Although I have to admit that you are right again, I am curious, why can you see it so thoroughly?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Xue Yirou looked at her as if she had seen a fool: "...... Sister-in-law, although I'm usually not very smart, it doesn't mean I'm a fool, right? Besides, isn't there still my eldest cousin, if there is anything you don't understand, ask him, and it will be clear. ”
Liang Yue, who was clearly disliked, said that she was very poignant: ...... What kind of triumphant tone is this triumphant tone in the end......
However, the heart is congested, and the business still has to be solved quickly, so Liang Yue decided to humbly ask for advice, and asked Xue Yirou for advice: "Then in your opinion, how can you persuade Mrs. Zhou to accept Helan?" ”
Xue Yirou didn't think about it, and replied to her as if reading the lines: "It's not easy to do, wouldn't it be nice to let Helan change her identity?" Doesn't Mrs. Zhou want to be a good person, right? Then simply improve Helan's identity, for example, let my eldest cousin recognize a righteous sister, so that Helan will nominally become the eldest lady of the Su family, with the strength of the Su family, if Helan marries Zhou Zhiping in this capacity, then his Zhou family will climb high! After a pause, he added, "In this way, Helan and Zhou Zhiping are equal, Mrs. Zhou is also satisfied, and you and my cousin don't have to worry all day long, isn't this the best of both worlds?" ”
Let Helan recognize her relatives and change her identity? Liang Yue couldn't help but fall into deep thought, yes, if according to what Xue Yirou said, if the Su family agrees, Helan also agrees, in this way, won't all the problems be solved?
It's just that......
In fact, she didn't think of this method at first, but after all, it was a major wedding event, and where was it comparable to ordinary things. If the Su family wants to recognize Helan as a righteous daughter, it means that Helan will go out of the Su family when she gets married, and as Helan's maiden family, the dowry is indispensable. If she gives less, the Zhou family will feel that Helan is not taken seriously, so even if she marries, her position in the Zhou family may not be stable. If she gives more, Helan will have confidence in the Zhou family, but after all, Helan and the Su family have no real blood relationship.
So considering many aspects, when Liang Yue first thought of this method, she was quickly vetoed by herself. There is no other reason, if she mentions it, Su Yi will definitely make her happy and promise to recognize Helan, and when the dowry is paid, the Su family will pay it herself, and Liangyue will think that she has sold herself, and she will not be able to repay Su Yi's favor. Anything else may be easy to say, but it's this kind of thing, if she really wants to open her mouth, she won't open this mouth even if she is killed, no, she doesn't want to, and she can't.
She didn't have enough strength to compensate the Su family for this favor, and she didn't have the right to ask Su Yi to selflessly dedicate herself to her.
But to her surprise, Xue Yirou actually mentioned it.
Listening to Xue Yirou's unusually smooth words, which were almost the same as memorizing them, and then looking at Su Yi's calm demeanor, Liang Yue's mind was transparent, and if she thought about it deeply, what else could she not understand?
Liang Yue looked at Su Yi who was drinking tea indifferently with complicated eyes, and her mood was even more complicated.
In order not to annoy her, he was able to do this...... Should he be too nice, or was she too lucky?
Not wanting to suppress the emotion in his heart, Liang Yue threw herself into his arms and hugged him, and said in a muffled voice: "Why don't you say a word to me...... I don't know how to thank you for being so touched all of a sudden......"
Xue Yirou said that she couldn't stand the stimulation, turned her face to the side, and at the same time did not forget her duty as an assist, and reminded: "Since there is nothing to repay, why don't you make a promise with your body?" If you are willing to take the initiative, sister-in-law, I think the eldest cousin must be a thousand or ten thousand! ”
