Chapter 370: The Friendship of the Elders
At the same time, Bai Liu received an invitation from Rong Xinyue.
How to say it, there is a feeling that this is indeed the case.
Since Rong Xinyue mentioned Hong Kong City, she felt that Rong Xinyue paid special attention to her, and this attention was not the concern between classmates, but with a kind of temptation and interest consideration.
In fact, it is normal, during this time, many people have asked about Song Jiaying, and they have probably heard some gossip, but Rong Xinyue is her classmate and colleague, which is more convenient.
"Okay, we'll be together after work in the afternoon." Bai Liu happily agreed.
She remembered that Rong Xinyue's grandmother, Mrs. Zheng, was also an old lady with a very special background, she remembered that when they first met, Mrs. Zheng was very close to Jelly Bean, and she deliberately looked at Song Jiaying many times, did she recognize Song Jiaying at that time?
Bai Liu thought so in his heart, and really asked when he saw Mrs. Zheng.
Mrs. Zheng invited Bai Liu to come over as a guest, solemn rather than cumbersome, only their grandparents and Bai Liu.
"Haha," Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but smile when she heard this, she smiled and shook her head: "It's not that I recognize it or I don't recognize it, I just think Jelly Bean is a little similar to Sister Man." Sister Man's full name is Yuan Man, and she should be regarded as Jelly Bean's great-grandmother. ”
Jelly Bean's great-grandmother, that is, Song Jiaying's grandmother and Song Jingyun's mother.
Bai Liu is not surprised, she has always understood that the world is not big or small, and some people are obviously not in the same city, and they will never see each other again.
And some people are thousands of miles apart, but there will always be a variety of relationships that connect the two together, which is fate.
"Grandmother?" Bai Liu showed appropriate curiosity, no, she was really curious, "I heard my mother talk about the old man, and she misses it very much. ”
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not incompatible, at least the relationship between Lu Pingwan and Yuan Man is very good, and when she comes here, in fact, Lu Pingwan tolerates her a lot after recognizing her relatives.
Mrs. Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then she figured out that the "mother" in Bai Liu's mouth was Lu Pingwan.
She glanced at Rong Xinyue vaguely, and said with a smile: "Yes, she is indeed very nostalgic, the last time I met her was in the spring of forty-nine years, and this farewell has become a farewell ......."
The old man was always full of melancholy when he was young in advance, and Bai Liu gradually learned about another wonderful woman in the mouth of Mrs. Zheng.
Yuan Man was a continuation when he married Song Jingyun's father, and the Song family had a very high political background for generations, while the Yuan family was a national capitalist in the late Qing Dynasty, and initially only used each other.
Fortunately, Yuan Man was not let down, and the only unsatisfactory thing may be that Song Jingzhang was brought up by the old lady at home and rejected her very much.
However, after Song Jingyun's father died, the family was separated, and Yuan Man took the Yuan family's property to let Song Jingyun start over, and since then he has been more free and easy.
About because of his previous experience, Yuan Man was very tolerant of his daughter-in-law Lu Pingwan, so the relationship between Song Jingyun and Lu Pingwan was different from other super-rich families.
An enlightened elder is too important, and Bai Liu is even more impressed by the strength of women in the new era.
She thinks that it is the efforts of generations of women that can make more people see women's ability and intelligence.
"Speaking of which," Mrs. Zheng paused, "maybe I shouldn't have said it, but it's in the past, so it's okay to talk about it." She pointed to Rong Xinyue, "Speaking of which, I have a verbal marriage contract with Sister Man, and we agreed to become in-laws." ”
"Originally, we thought that Xinyue's mother and Song Jingyun would be together, but Sister Man sent her son out to study very early, and when she came back, Xinyue's mother and Song Jingyun had their own favorite objects, so we agreed to marry the next generation."
Later, due to fate, there was the current situation.
Bai Liu was noncommittal, she wasn't sure about Mrs. Zheng's intention to mention this doll at this time, but if she wanted to make an agreement on Jelly Beans later, she would never agree.
Her face was not different, and she asked Mrs. Zheng with concern: "Grandma Zheng, I haven't asked you before, how many children are there at home?" ”
Mrs. Zheng sighed: "I have many children, four sons and one daughter, the sons are okay, but the daughter makes me feel at ease." She looked at her granddaughter Rong Xinyue, "At my age, my daughter died early, and now I am most worried about Xinyue." ”
"When I was here, Xinyue's uncle and cousins were still able to take care of her, if I left, I'm afraid I would ......"
Family affection is not eternal, the second and third generations are still in the relationship when their parents are alive, and the relationship will be thinned after the parents are gone.
Rong Xinyue's mother died early, and the uncles in the family already hated Rong Xinyue's father, and they may not be angry with her.
And because of the death of her daughter, Mrs. Zheng has always taken care of her granddaughter, and people of Rong Xinyue's generation will also have some considerations in their hearts.
In the case of limited family resources, one more of you means one less for me.
Bai Liu instantly understood, Mrs. Zheng first mentioned the marriage contract with the Song family, and then said that Rong Xinyue had no support...... But what does this have to do with her?
She is not a savior, let alone a bodhisattva, and it is not her turn to express her position before she knows the attitudes of Song Jingyun and Lu Pingwan.
"The crescent moon is outstanding, you don't have to worry so much." She turned her head to look at Rong Xinyue, whose eyes were slightly drooping, "Grandma Zheng is too worried about you." ”
Why did Mrs. Zheng find her? Is it because of his friendship with her, or do you know her thoughts, but do you want her to deliver a word to Song Jingyun and Lu Pingwan?
"Grandma, I can take care of myself, you don't have to worry." Rong Xinyue looked at her grandmother's lonely explanation, and felt very uncomfortable.
Because of her father's romance, her relationship with her father's relatives is not good, but it doesn't mean that she has no support.
At least the outside world still recognizes her as the eldest lady of the Rong family, that is, the Rong family over Hong Kong City, because the relationship between the eldest grandmother also recognizes her more.
Song ...... She understood that her grandmother hoped that the Song family could be her support, but she didn't want to smile at Bai Liu.
Old Lady Zheng knew Bai Liu and Rong Xinyue's thoughts, she sighed slightly in her heart, but she still didn't give up her previous thoughts.
mentioned that the marriage contract was not a knife to snatch love, she hoped that the Song family could recognize Xinyue and recognize a goddaughter.
"Okay, let's not talk about it," Old Lady Zheng smiled on her face, turned her head to Bai Liu and said, "Xinyue still has this childish temper, and I don't know when I will grow up." ”
Bai Liu flattered: "With the elders here, it's good to be a child, which is also a blessing." ”
Old Mrs. Zheng was noncommittal, turned her head and asked, "When will Jelly Bean come back, I think Jelly Bean." ”
Bai Liu mentioned before that Lu Pingwan took Jelly Beans abroad, and Grandma Zheng asked Jelly Beans at this time, in fact, she asked Lu Pingwan when she would return to Beijing.
I didn't know about this relationship before, but now I will definitely contact after I know it, and Bai Liu can't stop it, right?
She thought for a moment: "It should be soon, jelly beans are about to start school." ”
Mrs. Zheng nodded with a smile: "I like children, wait for Jelly Beans to come back and let her come to Grandma's place for a snack." ”
It was worth it for her to give up this old face to pave the way for the children.
