192 Step by step
If Mei Chengan's words were a little ruthless, the old lady still came back a little round, but there was still a bit of sternness in the round.
Mei Chengan's identity can still be said to take care of Xiao Ling'er, but the old lady, as the person in charge of the Mei family, even she said that Changsheng and her mother-in-law are Xiao Ling'er's relatives, and she came out to talk about the Mei family's face, and brought them to the Mei family together to entertain her as guests of her mother's family.
When such words came out, who would dare to imply that the relationship between Changsheng and Xiao Ling'er was not ordinary.
Zhu Qianxue's nails were about to pinch her flesh, she really didn't expect her cousin to be just that, even the old lady said that, and even in Fang Cai's words, she also used the words granddaughter-in-law!
A concubine of the Mei family, her status is low, and it is difficult to enter the lobby, even because she is a member of the Mei family, she has to take care of her for the face of the Mei family, but how can she use these three words?
She really didn't know what kind of means Xiao Ling'er used, and she actually coaxed the old lady over.
In the past, the old lady doted on her very much, but now if even the old lady is towards Xiao Ling'er, how can she find a way to marry her cousin.
Zhu Qianxue was embarrassed, her own daughter, Mrs. Zhu, of course, wanted to come out of the round.
"What the old lady said is, no matter what identity she used to be, since Ling Er is married to Cheng'an now, she is a member of the Mei family, how can there be any distinction between high and low status, this matter is something that Qianxue doesn't know how to measure."
"Oh, it's just a few children, they're young, and they don't know how important they are, so why should everyone care." Yao Xirou, who had not spoken on the side, suddenly opened her mouth, she picked up her wine glass and smiled, "Come, I'll be a middleman here." In the past, no matter what happened, it was a misunderstanding, but today since we are fortunate to sit at the same table, then we are all a family, and after this glass of wine, the previous misunderstanding will be swept away, and from now on we will live in peace as a family. ”
"Xirou is right, we are all a family." The old lady also picked up her wine glass and followed Yao Xirou's words.
Yao Xirou's words were beautiful, but unfortunately Xiao Ling'er didn't think that she said this for the good of the Mei family.
She and Mei Chengan drove Mei Yongxin to Suxiang together, Yao Xirou didn't know how to hate her in her heart, if she didn't help Zhu Qianxue speak, how could she play a round in turn?
It's just that Yao Xirou wants to save face, and the old lady also spoke, Xiao Ling'er naturally can't help but reply, and nodded with a smile, "What the old lady said is true." Ling Er remembered. ”
Seeing the momentum, Mrs. Zhu also hurriedly urged Zhu Qianxue, "Qianxue, why don't you hurry up and give your cousin-in-law a glass of wine, what Fang Cai said is indeed undeserved." ”
"Mother......" Zhu Qianxue looked unhappy. With a wine glass in his hand, he refused to step forward.
"Qianxue, didn't you hear what the old lady said just now? Why are you still so ignorant? Zhu Ying scolded, although he didn't expect the old lady to maintain a concubine like this. But since this matter the old lady has spoken. Of course, he would not let his daughter offend the Mei family for the sake of a momentary temperament. "You offended your cousin just now, and now it's just a toast for you to toast a glass of wine, what do you have to be unhappy about, isn't the old lady just teaching you the wrong lesson?"
"I ......" Zhu Qianxue was still unhappy in her heart, but even her father said so, what could she do? She can't affect the Zhu family because of a momentary impulse, and it will make the old lady disgusted with herself. Even if he was unhappy in his heart, he could only pick up two wine glasses, walked in front of Xiao Ling'er, and handed one of them to her, with no sincerity in his tone, "I'm sorry, cousin-in-law, I misunderstood you." ”
Xiao Ling'er hesitated for a moment and didn't directly reach out to take it.
To be honest, she didn't have a good impression of Zhu Qianxue. She seems to be quite simple and simple, but a simple person does not mean that she does not have bad intentions. What's more, in order to frame himself before, he could even do such a thing as poisoning himself. Sister Shishi also reminded herself. Rumors are just a foreshadowing, and it is very likely that the person who spread the rumor will have the next step. Thinking of these, Xiao Ling'er couldn't let go of Zhu Qianxue.
Her hesitation fell into Zhu Qianxue's eyes, and the expression on her face became even more disdainful, "Why, is my cousin-in-law so angry?" Or do you suspect that there is something in this wine? ”
The old lady's expression was also a little unpleasant, "Ling'er, don't be rude, no matter what you say, the Zhu family and our family are also world friends, you still have to have this bit of courtesy." ”
"Ling'er knows." Xiao Ling'er nodded, pressed Mei Cheng'an, who wanted to block the wine for her, and finally took the wine glass.
That's it, no matter how willful and bold Zhu Qianxue is, it is impossible to poison in front of so many people, if something happens to her, the Zhu family will never be able to escape from it. This kind of brain, Zhu Qianxue should still have it.
Thinking so, Xiao Ling'er picked up the wine glass and drank all the wine inside.
Zhu Qianxue still snorted disdainfully, and drank the wine in the wine glass before returning to her position.
Yao Xirou spoke out again in a timely manner, "Okay, okay, since this wine has also been drunk, let's all forget the previous misunderstanding." Today is the Chung Yeung Festival, and we all finally get together, but we can't think about those unhappy things. ”
That's what I said, but any of these people present can really be happy, all of them have their own ghosts and thoughts.
The meal is really delicious, and it is finally over.
It's just that the scene is a bit too much, the sky is already dark, Yao Xirou and the old lady plan to keep Changsheng and her mother-in-law to stay at Mei's house for one night, saying that they can't let her, the host, be inattentive and lose face.
In fact, to put it bluntly, that is, I want to solidify the relationship between the Mei family and my mother-in-law, and I can still be tongue-in-law in the future.
Although Xiao Ling'er is not so happy, the people of the Zhu family are here, Yao Xirou is also here, she and Mei Chengan have not yet cleaned up the Mei family, she doesn't want her mother-in-law and Changsheng to stay in this place for too long, so as not to have many dreams at night.
It's a pity that not all reluctant things can be left undone, at least now, even she has to work step by step in the Mei family, and it is not easy to take care of both ends.
After Xiao Ling'er returned to Mei's house last time, Mei's family specially vacated a yard for her, which was very close to Mei Cheng'an's yard, so it was convenient to take care of each other, but Xiao Ling'er had been busy with her own affairs and had never lived in it.
Mother-in-law and Changsheng Xiaoqin arranged to live in the side room of her yard, some distance away from other people's yards, which was somewhat relieved for Xiao Ling'er.
During dinner, several people drank a little wine, and the mother-in-law and Xiaoqin were very drunk, and they were already a little drunk, Xiao Ling'er and Changsheng helped them to the room where they lived and settled them.
It was still early, Mei Cheng'an had already gone to do her own thing, Xiao Ling'er was going to go back first, but Changsheng stopped her, "Sister Ling'er, it's too early, I don't really want to sleep yet, if you don't have anything to do, let's go to the courtyard and chat." ”
"Okay." Xiao Ling'er nodded, she didn't expect Changsheng to make such a request, and the expression on her face looked very serious, as if she was really looking for something serious to say.
She really almost forgot that Changsheng was not much younger than her, after so many years, she was a few years older, and Changsheng was also older, if it weren't for his expression, she would really always treat him as a child.
Today's weather is really good, the autumn is high and cool, the moon is also very bright, the yard is very comfortable by the light of the moon, the cool autumn wind blows, so that the whole person's mood is relaxed a lot.
Xiao Ling'er took Changsheng to sit in the pavilion in the courtyard, and asked his subordinates to send some pastries and fruits, and when everyone was gone and quieted down, Xiao Ling'er couldn't help but rub Changsheng's head as usual, and opened his mouth, "Say, Xiao Changsheng, what do you want to talk to me about?" ”
"It's really been a long time since I've chatted with my sister, and since my sister opened a medicinal canteen in Tang County, I've been busy with all kinds of things, and the time for everyone to see each other is getting less and less. Although it was not easy to move to Tang County, Xiaoqin and I helped in the medicine canteen, and we were able to see my sister from time to time, but it was really not many to sit and chat together as quietly as we do now. ”
Changsheng's voice was faint, and he could hear a little loneliness in it, Xiao Ling'er was startled when he heard it, it was really a little contrary to his usual temperament.
Maybe it's because I usually pay too little attention, and I don't know when Changsheng will grow into an adult.
The faint voice continued, "Actually, Sister Ling'er, sometimes I really miss the days when we lived in Anding Village, even if we didn't have any money at that time, and life was tight, but we were all very happy, we got along every day, and when we were busy, we worked together, and when we were free, we sat in the courtyard to enjoy the moon and chat and blow the wind, not to mention how comfortable it was, unlike now when we go to Tang County, there are more and more things to face, and it seems that there are more and more things pressing on us." ”
"People have to grow up, and as long as they grow up, they will face these things." Xiao Ling'er hooked the corners of her lips slightly, and withdrew the hand that was rubbing Changsheng's head, "It used to be easy to be satisfied, but we wanted too few things, but when we grow up, we want more and more things, so we will naturally feel more and more pressure, which is very normal, it can only show that we have grown up and learned to think and face problems on our own." ”
