Chapter Seventy-One: Sister Xi Qiao
After dinner, the old lady's yard was very lively.
Qiao Huiyun couldn't get out of bed yet, so everyone sat around her bed and talked to her.
After a while, the nurse took Yun Ge'er in, and the old lady told the family that Meng Xilan gave him the milk name, and everyone applauded.
Meng Xilan was reluctant to take her eyes off when she saw Brother Yun, although the child was small, but spiritual, as soon as she arrived in Meng Xilan's arms, her eyes opened a small slit, and her fleshy little mouth bent, as if she was laughing.
Meng Xilan looked at the joy, she couldn't stand it, and the eldest aunt saw that she liked Brother Yun so much, so she couldn't help but joke with her: "Look at what you like, hurry up and get married as soon as possible." ”
As soon as this joke came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little colder.
Liang smiled a little awkwardly, picked up the teacup, and said no more.
Meng Xilan didn't care much, but the old lady had a plan in her heart, as an elder, she didn't have any sense of proportion.
Meng Xichu was much more sensitive than her mother, and when she saw the old lady's faded smile, she had a little embarrassment on her face.
Suddenly, the old lady was noisy, and she intended everyone to go back everywhere.
The Liang family was bored, so they naturally wanted to go back early, and Meng Xichu didn't want to sit longer. When Meng Xiqiao got up, Meng Xilan suddenly said lightly: "Sister Xiqiao, stay a little longer, I have something to say to you." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was slightly stunned.
The second aunt had a happy face, reached out and pushed her daughter's shoulder, asking her to come over and speak.
"Sister......" Meng Xiqiao muttered.
She is usually not very close to Meng Xilan, although she meets every day, she has almost nothing to say except for greetings.
Meng Xilan handed Brother Yun back to her sister-in-law Qiao, took Meng Xiqiao's hand, and said gently: "I just heard from my grandmother that my sister has been learning the piano recently, and she has been learning hard?" ”
Meng Xiqiao's face flushed slightly, "It's not hard to learn, it's just that I'm too stupid." ”
Meng Xilan smiled when she heard this, and looked down to see that a thin layer of calluses had been ground out of her fingertips. "God rewards hard work, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely learn well."
Meng Xiqiao's face turned red again, and he nodded: "Sister's words, I will keep it in mind." ”
Looking at her from a close distance, Meng Xilan was even more satisfied.
The girl's complexion is always the best, and in addition, her skin is very white and thin, and the blood vessels below can be faintly seen, with a little delicate beauty. In her previous life, she always felt that among the sisters in the family, the most outstanding-looking person was Meng Xiyue, but now that she looks closely, in fact, Meng Xiqiao is also a good asset, and with a little training, her future is limitless.
In a short period of time, if you want the Meng family to spread your connections, the best way is to marry. is also the daughter of the Meng family, everyone has to contribute to the family.
Meng Xiqiao saw that she had been looking at herself with a smile, and secretly wondered, she didn't know how to put her hands, and hesitated for a while before saying, "Sister just said that she has something to say......
Old Lady Meng and Meng Xilan glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "Well, your sister Lan is thinking about finding your mother-in-law's house." ”
She deliberately said this in a joking tone, just afraid of startling Meng Xiqiao.
However, she was still frightened enough, her expression was flustered, her eyes flickered, and she couldn't guess whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
There is also a sister above her, if you really want to talk about family affairs, it should be Meng Xichu in front. Moreover, mentioning this matter for no reason at this time makes people feel uneasy for no reason.
"Grandmother, sister...... I ......"
Meng Xilan saw her suddenly stammer, and smiled even deeper: "Sister, don't be afraid. Whether it can be done or not needs to be seen again. My sister just thinks that you are not too young to think about this, so she mentioned it to her grandmother. ”
The matter of marriage is in the people, and the success of the things is in the sky, and the urgency is not urgent.
Meng Xiqiao's face was a little shy, he stirred a handkerchief in his hand, lowered his head and didn't speak. She had never thought about these things, and her mother said that she was a concubine, and the old lady would not treat her badly.
Meng Xilan knew that she was shy, and she didn't tease her, so she just said: "I'll leave you alone today, there's nothing to do, I just want to ask my sister." ”
Meng Xiqiao hurriedly shook his head.
What ideas could she have? Left is just what the elders say. Every time her father was confused outside, her mother would often whisper in her ear, saying that the most important thing for a woman in her life is to marry a good husband. But she herself doesn't know what a good husband is, and she just hopes that she won't worry about everything like her mother all day long in the future.
Qiao Huiyun coaxed her son to sleep, and when she saw that the child was asleep, she asked: "It's a happy event to get married, I don't know which family my sister wants?" ”
She just gave birth to a son, so naturally she doesn't have the energy to care about these things, so it doesn't hurt to just listen to them.
Meng Xilan smiled with her eyebrows: "Our sister Xiyue is a wonderful person, so naturally she doesn't have to worry about good family affairs." As she spoke, she stroked the broken hair on Meng Xiqiao's sideburns: "However, if you are matched with an ordinary official, you will inevitably wronged your sister." So, I discussed with my grandmother and wanted to choose a high branch for my sister to fall on, so the person I wanted was ......"
Meng Xilan deliberately lengthened her tone, and Meng Xiqiao raised her head with a slight apprehension and expectation on her face.
"Marquis Weiyuan, the second son of Marquis Weiyuan."
Meng Xiqiao thought he had heard it wrong at first, but he couldn't. It's not something to laugh at, not to mention that my grandmother is here.
Seeing Meng Xiqiao's mouth slightly open, she didn't know what to say, so she tapped her forehead and said, "This time, I know that your sister treats you well, she really cares for you." ”
Meng Xiqiao is not stupid, his eyes flashed slightly, and he hurriedly got up and saluted: "How can my sister make my grandmother and sister bother so much......
Just by looking at the light in her eyes, Meng Xilan knew that she was moved.
She gave her a hand: "Although I am not 100% sure, as long as my sister is willing, it is worth working hard." ”
Meng Xiqiao didn't dare to show the joy in his heart too obviously, but he couldn't hide it if he wanted to.
The old lady saw it clearly, "This matter should have been discussed with your mother first, but her temperament is too impetuous and she talks a lot, which makes people not feel at ease." ”
Meng Xilan echoed: "I plan to return to my plan, but it hasn't happened yet." If you go out in advance, if something happens, it will not be good for your sister. Therefore, my sister only needs to keep this matter in mind and don't mention it to anyone for the time being, including the second aunt. ”
According to the character of the second aunt, if she knew her plans, she would definitely spread the word all over the world, which would definitely make Dafang resentful and think that the old lady was eccentric.
It stands to reason that the sister is in front and the sister is behind, and Meng Xichu's personality is really not pleasing enough.
