Chapter 284: Blind Date
In a blink of an eye, it was eighteen, and Jiangxi's grandmother and second aunt came over early.
Grandpa Jiangxi and the two uncles didn't come, and I heard her grandma say that now is the time when the jujube is ripe, and someone must guard the house, so Old Man Li and Second Uncle Jiangxi stayed at home.
As for Uncle Jiangxi, he went to the garden again after the Midyear Festival.
came along, naturally there are today's protagonists, Jiangxi's eldest cousin, and Li Xuemei.
Li Xuemei, dressed in a floral dress, just jumped off the carriage and waved vigorously towards the river.
"Xi'er, Xi'er!"
Jiang Xi also quickly greeted him, grandma, aunt, and cousin shouted, and Jiang Xi's grandmother laughed out loud with joy.
"Mother, let's go, let's go eat some snacks and drink some tea first, and we'll go over when the time is almost up." Li opened his mouth, and immediately a girl and a woman surrounded her and took everyone in.
The Li family has been here for a long time, and the matchmaker has made an appointment with them at ten o'clock, they just want to come over early, so as not to have any accidents on the road, and then the girl's family will have a bad impression of them.
When they arrived at the main hall, Grandma Jiangxi was arranged to sit at the top of the position, and the Li family and Jiangxi's second aunt were under Grandma Jiangxi, followed by their juniors.
"By the way, Chunju, the family we are talking about this time has just moved to the town, and it is said that the ancestors used to be from this town, but they have been doing business for many years, and now they want to return to their homeland.
I didn't tell the matchmaker about our relationship with your family, and the family shouldn't know about it. ”
Grandma Jiangxi slowly spoke while drinking tea. Li Shi smiled and said, "Cheng, I originally thought the same way. ”
Jiang Xi and the Li family had been worried before, if the family who said they were close to each other agreed to marry the Li family for their sake, something might happen in the future. Now that it's okay, with Grandma Jiangxi's words, they are also relieved.
Jiang Xi and Li Chunmei sat here with their elders for a while, then they started to play, and after talking to the Li family, they ran out.
"Xi'er, I heard that you went to the provincial capital again this time, is it fun there?"
While the two sisters were talking, they walked hand in hand towards the backyard, Li Xuemei asked excitedly with a pair of big eyes.
"It's okay." Jiang Xi then told Li Xuemei a lot of things that happened in the provincial capital, but she still hid her assassination and illness, worried that if she said it, Li Xuemei would be afraid.
The most talked about is what happened in Yufu that day, and the talented and beautiful women in it, who wrote poems, deeply attracted Li Xuemei.
"It would be nice if I had a chance to go in and see it in the future." Li Xuemei's eyes showed longing, in her eyes, the jade mansion depicted by Jiangxi was as desirable as a fairyland.
"It's up to people, and maybe there will be opportunities in the future. The next time you go to the provincial capital, you go over with us to play, I don't dare to say about the Jade Mansion, but I can take you to see it in the Yuanshan Pavilion.
There are also many good scenery in the provincial capital, such as Qianli Lake, Baiyun Temple, and a paddock that can be used for hunting, and there are not too many fun places. ”
"Really?! Okay, I'll talk to my mother and my grandmother later, they agreed, and I'll follow you next time. ”
"Okay, I think the second aunt and uncle will definitely agree." Jiang Xi smiled slyly, even if they didn't agree, she had a way to convince.
When he arrived at Jiangxi's house, Qing Huan brought two plates of snacks and nuts, made two cups of tea and then withdrew, leaving only Jiangxi and Li Xuemei in the room.
"Tell me who the girl my eldest cousin wants to see, what her name is, and what she looks like." As soon as the next person left, Jiang Xi grabbed Li Xuemei's arm, this matter had been in her heart for several days, like a cat scratching, and she couldn't wait for a moment.
Li Xuemei laughed out loud: "I guessed a long time ago that you would ask these questions when you pulled me over." ”
"Don't laugh, tell me about it."
"Won't you be able to see it in another hour or two?"
Jiang Xi's face suddenly collapsed, and Li Xuemei laughed even more when she saw this.
"Okay, I'll tell you, but don't say I said it. You don't know, my brother is shy. ”
"Okay, okay, I promise never to tell the public, you tell me quickly."
Li Xuemei was not selling Guanzi, and quickly told the news she knew.
"I heard that the surname is Zheng, and the family makes tofu, and it has been passed down for several generations, and my mother heard of Zheng tofu when she was a child. Later, their family seemed to think that there were few people in the town and they couldn't make money, so they went outside, and after many years, they finally came back.
That girl is fifteen this year, more than a year younger than my brother, it seems that her name is Zheng Yulian, she should be good-looking, anyway, I just heard them say, I haven't seen it. ”
Zheng Yulian, this name still sounds good, and the age is appropriate, but since their family is a tofu maker in the town, how can they think of marrying their eldest cousin and their people on the mountain. It's not that Jiangxi doesn't look down on the people in the mountains, but he just thinks it's a little strange.
"What about my cousin, has he ever seen that woman?"
"I've seen it!" Li Xuemei replied without hesitation, "Before, the Zheng family met a group of bastards on the way back to the town, and it happened that my brother came here with people carrying fruits, so he rescued them, drove away the bastards, and met the girl."
It's just that my brother didn't pay much attention at the time, and he also felt that it was just a trivial matter, and he didn't need to be thanked by others, so he nodded and left.
Later, a matchmaker came to ask, and my brother recognized it when he saw the portrait and felt familiar. Then my mother said that the two of them are quite destined, so let's just get together, my brother has no choice but to agree. Otherwise, there wouldn't be today's meeting. ”
When Jiang Xi asked this, she thought that her cousin must have only seen portraits, but who knew that he had even seen real people. At the same time, this also dispelled her concerns, the Zheng family fell in love with her cousin, it should be for that life-saving kindness.
Besides, his cousin is not bad-looking, he looks like a capable and hard-working teenager, so it's no wonder that the Zheng family likes him.
Looking at it today, it actually depends on whether her cousin agrees.
Jiang Xi covered his mouth and snickered, always feeling that his eldest cousin's marriage was coming.
They chatted for a while, ate something, and heard the voices of the Li family outside.
"Xi'er, Xuemei, you two stay at home, when the time comes, we'll go first."
The Li family discussed it just now, and decided to leave Jiangxi and their two children at home. Li knew very well that Jiang Xi would become gossip when he encountered this kind of thing, and Jiang Xi's second aunt was also afraid that Li Xuemei would make trouble, so she simply made such a decision.
When Jiang Xi and Li Xuemei heard this, the two of them pouted at the same time, obviously they didn't want to be left at home like this, so the two glanced at each other and had an idea.
Not long after the Li family and their side went out, Jiang Xi and Li Xuemei also came out of the side door, with a sly smile on the corners of their mouths, like a cat that had stolen a fishy thing.
"Xi'er, the two of us are going like this, is there really no problem?"
Li Xuemei pinched the corners of her clothes a little nervously, and always felt that it was a little bad to do this. Jiang Xi shook his head, if it was an ordinary blind date, it would definitely be bad to do this, if the woman of the family knew about it, maybe she would leave directly.
But now it's different after all, it's a woman who has taken a fancy to their family, she just goes to take a look, and she doesn't have anything else to think about.
"Don't worry, I have already let people leave a place in the teahouse before, and my mother and the people of the Zheng family will definitely not find out about us."
"Okay!"
Li Xuemei also made up her mind, she originally wanted to look at it very much. You must know that that Miss Zheng is likely to be her future sister-in-law, dear sister-in-law, she is more excited than anyone else.
They didn't bring a girl with them, so as not to attract attention. It's just that when I was walking towards the teahouse, I was recognized by an acquaintance.
"Jiang ...... Miss Jiang. Sun Xiucai bought it on the street and was just about to go home, when he saw two girls coming from the entrance of the town, he fixed his eyes and saw that one of them was still Jiangxi, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.
Li Xuemei glanced at Sun Xiucai curiously, thinking about what identity this person was and how he could know Jiang Xi.
"It's you." Jiangxi stopped and said hello to Sun Xiucai, this person is now her brother's friend, and she can't be too lazy. It's just that some don't like his approach, and Jiang Xi took two steps back.
Seeing this, Sun Xiucai also knew that he was abrupt, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Didn't your brother come back this time?" ”
He had long known that Jiangxi and they had gone home during the Midyear Festival, and he also knew that Qin Hao had not come back, but he couldn't find a topic for a while, so he asked casually.
"Well, my brother followed the old gentleman to the old gentleman's hometown, and he won't come back until next month."
"In this way, I haven't had time to congratulate Brother Qin Hao, this opportunity is not available to everyone. By the way, who is this? Sun Xiucai pointed to Li Xuemei beside Jiang Xi and asked.
"It's my cousin."
"Your cousins are out shopping, then you can go shopping, I won't bother."
Waiting for Sun Xiucai to walk away, Li Xuemei pursed her lips and asked, "Xi'er, did that person like you just now?" ”
"What do you say?" Jiang Xi's eyes widened, "You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. ”
Li Xuemei said in her heart that she didn't talk nonsense, it could be seen from the man's eyes. But she doesn't like that person very much, and she can't say why, anyway, it gives people a feeling of being poor and stingy, and it's always a little restrained to stay with him.
Shaking her head, Li Xuemei thought to herself that Jiang Xi didn't like him anyway, and he was good with the third son of the Song family, so she didn't bother to care about this surnamed Sun. The most important thing now is her sister-in-law, the girl of the Zheng family.
