Chapter 427: Xue Qingyan (I)
Chapter 427: Xue Qingyan (I)
.
Li Xin vaguely remembered that Xue Qian had a son and a daughter. It seems that these are his two children.
The boy's eyebrows are high, with a sense of pride, and his bearing is extraordinary at a young age. The girl is carved in pink, and she looks only three or four years old, which is the most well-behaved time.
It's just that at this time, the little girl still twisted her brother when the boy greeted her grandmother and father, and she didn't notice her brother's dislike for her, let alone see that Xue Qian had frowned.
"Why did you bring Sister Butterfly too?" Xue Qian asked in a deep voice.
The little girl rubbed her eyes and was led out by the nurse. The nurse looked a little panicked and said, "Sister Die'er said that she wanted to come with Brother Yan......"
"Forget it, they are all children, Sister Die is still young, you are a father, don't be so harsh on her." Old Madam Xue waved her hand, let the nurse stand behind her, and beckoned to the little girl: "Sister Die, come to grandmother." β
The little girl shook her head, looked up at the boy with a blank eye, and cried a little: "I want my brother to ......"
Xue Qian stretched out his hand and took a cup of tea, sipped it carefully, and saw that the boy was still indifferent, so he moved his mouth and said: "Mother, Sister Die is arrogant and domineering at home, this is the Shen family's wedding banquet, if she makes trouble, I'm afraid it's not good." β
Old Madam Xue was slightly stunned, thinking that she had thought about it carefully, and then said, "Nurse, wait for Sister Die'er to go down and eat some snacks, don't bring guests to the table." If you want to come to the Shen family to make their own arrangements for the accompanying servants, you are optimistic about Sister Die, don't let her make trouble. β
The nurse hurriedly agreed. whispered to persuade the little girl to leave. Two maids also came over to help persuade them.
Maybe it was because she saw that her brother still ignored her after all, and the little girl cried out and let the nurse hold her and retreat.
The people were gone, and some voices could still be heard.
The boy, however, was unmoved. Glancing at the place where the little girl had disappeared. His eyes were full of disgust.
Li Xin was a little surprised by the boy's expression - it seemed to have some hatred!
Even if there is no brother-sister relationship, the younger sister has no reason to compete with his brother for the family property, why ...... Have a hatred for a little girl who is only three or four years old?
Xue Qian was followed by Qin Shun'er, the long-term follower whom Guan Wen had met several times, and was opening the vacant position between Guan Wen and Xue Qian for the boy.
The boy took a seat, and Xue Qian introduced to Guan Wen: "This is the dog, the big name Qingyan, who is over eleven this year." β
The boy immediately stood up, and Xue Qian said to him, "This Uncle Guan." β
"Uncle Guan. Ya-Wen * Yan + Love $ First @ Fa" Xue Qingyan bowed to Guan Wen respectfully.
"Virtuous nephews don't have to be polite."
Guan Wen hurriedly helped Xue Qingyan up and looked him up and down. Sincerely praised: "Xue Ye, Ling Lang is young and has an extraordinary bearing. Bless the future of creation. β
Xue Qian showed a smile on his face, faintly proud, stretched out his hand and patted Xue Qingyan and said, "I only have this son, so I naturally hope that he will be able to make a difference in the future." β
In front of adults, Xue Qingyan behaved extremely steadily. It is indeed good for an eleven-year-old child to have such a calm bearing as him. I have to say that he is extremely well educated, polite, knows how to advance and retreat, and is very good at reading people's eyes, and can speak appropriately when Xue Qian and Guan Wen are talking. But it doesn't seem obtrusive.
Li Xin secretly observed and felt that this child was really a manufacturable material. With family wealth as the backing, there will definitely be some achievements in the future.
While speaking, Mrs. Xue also pulled Li Xin to chat.
It's just that Mrs. Xue is a northerner, and she is probably used to the local accent and talks a lot. There are some new words that Li Xin can't quite understand. However, this does not prevent communication between the two. Old Madam Xue liked Li Xin more and more, but Li Xin felt that she was through her face. Thinking about someone else.
After only a few moments, the table became more and more lively.
With the sounds of "congratulations" and "great joy", Mrs. Shen walked over with a smile on her face. She is the head of the Shen family, so everyone naturally made way for her.
Mrs. Shen greeted all the visitors, and when she walked to Li Xin's table, she smiled, helped Mrs. Xue up, and said, "You are here, how can you sit with the juniors?" Come on, let's go over there and sit together. β
Old Madam Xue was about to push back, and Mrs. Shen said: "If you push, this will not give me face." β
Old Madam Xue pressed Mrs. Shen's hand and said, "Yihan, I'm crazy about how old you are, it's not an exaggeration to call you a sister." Today, I came to the ceremony with a shy face, but I really didn't have the shame to sit with you and accept the newcomer's visit. The last time Fu Manlou happened, I had no way to discipline ......"
"If you say that again, you just look down on me." Mrs. Shen intercepted what Old Madam Xue said, and said with a smile: "The past is the past, how can I be the kind of person with a small belly?" What's more, the juniors are not sensible, and you have also reprimanded, so forget it. Today's big day, let's not mention those, go sit over there. β
Old Madam Xue was still a little embarrassed, but she was gracious, and finally went to the main table with Mrs. Shen.
Li Xin This is the first time she has heard of Mrs. Shen's name from others.
Yihan, a name like water, is very poetic.
"What is Mrs. Shen's maiden name...... Li Xin muttered, but she didn't expect Xue Qingyan to answer her: "Aunt Guan, Mrs. Shen's surname is Chu, and she is a big family in my dynasty." β
Li Xin looked up in amazement, and Xue Qingyan looked at her with a serious expression.
Xue Qian snorted lightly: "Mouthy." β
Xue Qingyan immediately shut up, and there was also a bit of chagrin on his face.
Li Xin suddenly wondered, isn't this Xue Qingyan quite stable? How could he answer her question so abruptly? looked at Xue Qingyan suspiciously, but saw that this boy was secretly looking at her! Seeing her look over, Xue Qingyan immediately lowered his head and pretended that he hadn't seen anything.
Li Xin touched her face and pressed the doubts in her heart.
The four vacant seats at their table were also filled, and it seemed that they were also people who were either rich or noble, so they naturally knew Xue Qian, and talked to each other lightly. I heard that Guan Wen used to be a dart master, and he used to be a powerful dart player. The other four also asked about the tragedy of the mighty dart game caused by Guan Wen's escort of the Cui family, and everyone sighed for a while.
At the beginning, the Cui family's affairs were in an uproar, although the Cui family had nothing to lose except for the loss of the young lady and the maid. However, the mighty dart bureau suffered heavy casualties in order to defend the Cui family. Everyone praised the bravery and benevolence of the mighty dart game. I also regret their terrible sacrifice.
The men at the table also had a good conversation.
Guan Wen was afraid that Li Xin would sit awkwardly, so he changed positions with Xue Qingyan, thinking that children and Li Xin could always talk something. Xue Qingyan readily agreed and sat down beside Li Xin uprightly.
Li Xin was polite, reached out and took a piece of pastry on the table and handed it to Xue Qingyan, and asked him with a light smile, "Do you want to eat?" β
Xue Qingyan immediately nodded, stretched out his hand to take it, as if he was afraid that the pastry would fly, and quickly took a bite. After chewing twice, I remembered that I had forgotten to thank you, and hurriedly whispered thank you.
Li Xin nodded, stretched out his hand and was going to touch his head. Before she could touch his hand, she stopped - this was not Yang'er, she was dizzy.
Xue Qingyan raised his eyes to look at her, with a slight emotion in his eyes.
Soon, I heard that the groom had picked up the bride and was about to go to the door.
Mrs. Shen and Master Shen were already seated on the main seat, and there was an old lady and an old man sitting next to them, looking at the dress, it should be the oldest old lady Shen and old lady Shen in the Shen Mansion.
Mrs. Shen still had a smile on her face, as if she had put on a thick mask.
Uncle Shen and Second Master Shen are officials outside, so naturally they can't leave their posts without permission and return to their hometowns to see their younger brothers get married. Only Shen Sanye sat down. The face is calm and the expression is peaceful.
But it also seems lonely.
Even if he himself wouldn't think so.
Yes, the younger brothers are married, but he, who is the elder brother, has no wives and concubines by his side, and he is in the eyes of onlookers. Naturally, he felt desolate - he didn't even have a serious home.
"It's time to arrive! The bride and groom are at the door! β
A little guy hurried over to report.
There was a big steward standing at the door. He pressed his throat and tried to tone it, and shouted in a high voice: "Ji Shi Dao-"
The guests were silent.
The sound of earth-shattering firecrackers suddenly sounded outside. The sound of children frolicking, and the coaxing of the surrounding crowd. After waiting for a while, another little girl outside came back to report: "The fourth master kicked the sedan door and welcomed the bride off the sedan chair!" β
didn't wait for a while, and another little maid came to report: "The fourth master and the fourth wife took the red silk, and the happy lady carried the fourth wife into the door!" β
As soon as the voice of the little servant fell, a pair of bright red newcomers appeared at the door.
Shen Siye had a big red flower wrapped around his chest, a ceremonial crown on his head, and a faint smile on his face, which was similar to his usual squishy image.
And the bride lay on the back of the bride, and the red hijab covered her face, I don't know what kind of magnificent face it will be under the hijab.
Listening to the bride's loud recitation, watching the newlyweds complete the marriage steps step by step, when the newlyweds knelt in front of the main seat, Li Xin came back to her senses slightly, and with a slight pinch of her face, she saw that among the guests who should have been observing the groom and the bride, there was an odd number looking at her carefully.
It was none other than Xue Qingyan.
She would never be wrong this time, Xue Qingyan looked at her with a look in his eyes...... There is a lot of admiration.
Thoughts?
Li Xin couldn't believe it, it was just the first time she had met this child, how could this child have such feelings for her?
"Worship heaven and earth!"
The newlyweds began to worship heaven and earth, Li Xin lowered his head slightly, and asked Xue Qingyan softly: "Isn't it good to marry the bride and groom?" β
Xue Qingyan pursed his lips: "It's not good-looking." β
Li Xin was slightly surprised, and the second salute of the ceremonial official sounded: "Second worship high hall!" β
"But everybody's watching, why don't you watch?" Li Xin asked softly: "I'm not as good-looking as a bride." β
"Beautiful." Xue Qingyan said categorically: "It's very good-looking." β
Li Xin snorted lightly, and the ceremonial official sang: "Husband and wife worship each other!" Reesungβ"
"Where's the pretty?" Li Xin chuckled and said, "You are only eleven years old, how do you know how a woman is good-looking and how is it not good-looking?" β
"I know." Xue Qingyan said quickly: "You are the best-looking." β
"Oh?" Li Xin smiled.
"My mother laughed, that's what it looks like." (To be continued) RQ
