148 Is a mother more expensive than a child?
Xiao Ling'er was still stunned, almost startled by Mrs. Mei's call.
Mei Chengan nodded, and Xiao Ling'er lowered her body and answered, "Yes", and followed the old lady into the room.
The old lady's room was very simple and elegant, she sat down on the main seat, Xiao Ling'er was still standing on the side waiting to speak, but she didn't expect the old lady Mei to look at her, and she showed a kind smile, "Your name, Xiao Ling'er?" β
"Back to the old lady, yes, Ling Xiao's Ling."
"The name is good, and the person is beautiful." Mrs. Mei praised and raised her hand towards the chair beside her, "Come, sit next to me." β
"Yes." Xiao Ling'er responded obediently again, she has been in the Southern Dynasty for so long, this is the first time she has been so deferential, if Sister Shishi is here, she must not help but laugh at her.
But there is no way, who called the Southern Dynasty, or the first time to be the junior of someone else's family.
Xiao Ling'er obediently sat next to the old lady, and the old lady held her hand.
Although I didn't have a good impression of the old lady of the Mei family before, but looking at it today, there is still kindness that can't be hidden in the majesty, and he can support the entire Mei family with the power of one person, so he should be a good person.
Sure enough, the old lady patted the back of her hand and sighed earnestly, "During this time, I have wronged you, Yongxin's child was fine in the past, but then somehow his utilitarian heart became stronger and stronger, and he did a lot of wrong things, which frightened you." β
It seems that the old lady did listen to what she just said in the hall, and she did not mean not to believe it.
"The old lady is serious, it's good that the person is fine, and you have also punished the one who should be punished."
"Do you think the penalty is light?"
"Ling'er didn't dare to ......" Xiao Ling'er hurriedly shook her head, if it was just about medicinal herbs, such a punishment would be enough, but the murder of money and murder that she hadn't finished talking about before she finished speaking, the old lady knew it, she didn't let her finish speaking, she just didn't want to take this out and make a final decision to punish her. In the final analysis, no matter how wrong Mei Yongxin is, a layer of blood is clouded on her head, and the old lady is old, but she still can't give up her heart after all.
Since she can only be punished in front of so many people, Xiao Ling'er naturally doesn't expect to change the old lady's decision just by relying on her two sentences now, of course she won't say more.
"The old lady is the head of the family, how to reward and punish is up to the old lady's own thoughts, Ling Er doesn't dare to talk about it. What's more, Ling Er is also a member of the Mei family, so naturally everything should be based on the Mei family. β
"Okay." Mrs. Mei patted the back of her hand again, smiled more kindly, and there was a little more appreciation in her eyes, "I really didn't expect that I had a good marriage for Cheng'an, but I didn't let you enter the house after the marriage, I was really wronged, eh, tell me about this old woman, how did you and Cheng'an meet?" β
Probably when people are old, they like to chat, and Xiao Ling'er is also willing to accompany them.
The matter between her and Mei Chengan, when she hadn't seen him for half a year, she had thought about it countless times by herself, but now there are people who are willing to listen.
Xiao Ling'er picked everything that could be said and told the old lady, she should be able to chat, and amused the old lady several times.
"So that's the case, it's really fate, I can see that Cheng'an still likes you very much."
"I like him too." At this point, Xiao Ling'er has always been very direct, "So, I obediently followed him back, and in more than two years, it is time to come to honor the old lady." β
"Good, good." Mrs. Mei answered several times, but she took her hand back, and her face pale again, "However, we all know that Cheng'an's temperament is like his father, but it is not like him, and he is very decisive in business, but emotionally I know that he is much more attentive than his father." In the past, he refused to accept any marriage because of his body, but now he has broken his own principles for you, and he must like you very much. Otherwise, you won't tell me that the identity of a concubine will wronged you. β
"Old lady......" Xiao Ling'er didn't expect Mei Chengan to say it so quickly.
When they decided to be together a month ago, Mei Chengan said that he would definitely marry her again and make her the real Mrs. Mei. But unexpectedly, she only entered the Mei Mansion on the first day, and he had already spoken to the old lady, no wonder when she was on the road just now, the old lady always looked at this side intentionally or unintentionally.
"Old lady, I know that it must be false to say that I don't want to, I am the same as Cheng'an, I can be a couple for the rest of my life, he is willing to let me be his wife, and I also want to be his only wife. But I know that the Mei family is different from other portals, and if the old lady has any concerns in her heart, she might as well say it directly. β
"It's smart enough and direct enough." The old lady chuckled, "Old woman, I can understand why Cheng'an likes you." β
She praised lightly, and her expression was a lot more serious, "However, since you also know in your heart that the Mei family is different from other portals, Cheng'an is the son of the Mei family, and he is the only person in charge of the Mei family's power now, and everything about him is related to the entire huge Mei family, so many things can't be done by just one 'willing'." Although the Mei family can't talk about how prominent and powerful they are, if the wife of the dignified Mei family is just a woman with a bad record in a shabby family, if she doesn't talk about being laughed at by others in the business in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to even establish her prestige in front of the Mei family. β
"These, Ling Er understands. So, the old lady means ......"
"Of course, I don't completely disagree, on the contrary, you are still very likable as a little girl. At the beginning, among so many family affairs, the only one I picked was the Zhu family, the Zhu family and our Mei family are world friends, and Qianxue's girl also has feelings for Cheng'an. But you girl, although in addition to her appearance, her background and talent are not as good as Qianxue's girl, but I'm afraid she definitely doesn't have the smart energy on you, and she is not as young as you in terms of calm and sophisticated. All in all, if you want to be a granddaughter-in-law, you are indeed a good candidate. β
Xiao Ling'er knows who Mrs. Mei is talking about, Zhu Qianxue? It's the little girl who ran over and ate a big turtle back after the opening of the medicine canteen, but I haven't seen it since that time, it seems that there is trouble outside, and I still know how to pretend to be a good girl in front of the Mei family and the old lady.
Moreover, calm and sophisticated, of course, not to mention that she has lived for decades longer than her, even if she doesn't have these decades, just wish Qianxue's eldest lady's temper, it is estimated that a woman has to be much calmer than her.
However, Xiao Ling'er naturally didn't say these thoughts, so she quietly listened to what the old lady said.
"So, I can agree with Cheng'an's idea, but the timing is not right. At the very least, I think you should wait until you are enough for me, the old lady, to feel that you are qualified to sit in the position of the wife of the eldest young master of the Mei family, and to be able to live in the Mei family's house alone. When the time comes, I will naturally ask the Mei family to prepare for you again. β
Old Lady Mei paused again, smiled and shook her head, "Of course, if you find it too difficult, you have another choice." β
"Huh?"
Old Mrs. Mei looked at Xiao Ling'er's stomach, "Mother is more expensive than son, it has always been like this." The Mei family is so deserted, if you can add a man and a woman, I don't think I can refuse with these merits alone. β
"Uh......" Xiao Ling'er smiled awkwardly.
Sure enough, it's still the same routine.,But thisγForget it.γ
She really hadn't thought about giving birth to such a thing. Although she likes Mei Chengan very much, it's true, but no matter what, she only lived to be in her twenties before, and this body has just turned sixteen, and it is too early to give birth to a child, so she is not ready. Besides, there are so many things to do, and she doesn't want to live a life that is getting better slowly, and she has to devote herself to her children.
What's more, relying on the child can still sit in the position of the hostess, even so, it is still impossible to convince those Mei family members and business people.
Xiao Ling'er thought about it, shrugged her shoulders, and then smiled at the old lady and nodded her head.
"Old lady, don't worry, I understand what you mean, I will talk to him personally when the eldest young master is there, and I won't make the old lady embarrassed again. As for the reunion, I think you're right, it's not the right time. I will wait until the day when I can afford to be called the wife of the Mei family, and I will come to ask you for this reward, old lady. But I think it won't be long before you, old lady, think I'm smart and calm, and I naturally can't live up to the old lady. β
