Chapter 34: The Dinner Party at the Li Mansion
On this day, it was Xin'er's day off, and the two met to go shopping together.
Xin'er is sixteen years old this year, and his family is married, the eldest son of a businessman, and his family business is good, at least he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing.
Xin'er is also preparing for marriage, and the wedding dress is made by a ready-to-wear store, and the style is good.
The only good little sister is married, Yunshang naturally has to prepare gifts, and adding makeup is a must, as long as you send it before getting married.
She embroidered a screen, the screen is very large, it is a mandarin duck playing in the water, and 66 styles of happy characters have been added.
In order to find all these words, Mo Xuan's classmates were begged by her all over again, and even the prince did not let go.
The Ten Princes also came over to join in the fun and wrote one.
This gift can be described as full of sincerity, the screen should be embroidered on both sides, it will take a long time, but fortunately, the wedding date is set for July of the following year.
The two arrived almost at the same time, and Xin'er was still chattering, and as soon as she came over, she grabbed Yunsheng's arm.
"Yunshang, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and you won't accompany me."
Xin'er pursed her lips and complained in a low voice.
Yunshang chuckled and pinched her face, "Aren't I busy?" You see, why don't you come here without being busy? β
"Yes."
The two chattered in front of each other, holding hands, stopping in front of the stall from time to time to choose something.
Yunshang only saw joy between her eyebrows, and it seemed that this girl was very satisfied with her marriage.
She relaxed, fortunately, her uncle and aunt were more open-minded, and there would be no forced marriage, even if she got married, after inquiring clearly, she would let people meet a few times in secret.
"By the way, Yunshang, do you know? Zidai is pregnant. β
Hearing this person's name again, Yunshang was in a trance, and still remembered the unwilling appearance of that person.
"Oh? Looks like this guy is doing well. β
"Isn't it good...... Xin'er smacked her lips, "not only pregnant, but also a concubine, in the second young master's backyard, very favored, I heard that the second young master has to spend half of the time with her every month." β
"Why do you think she's so good? is obviously average-looking, and there are many more beautiful people in the second young master's backyard than her, why is she favored? β
Yunshang smiled faintly, Zi Dai is a powerful character, and the house fight is naturally not a problem.
With her means, in modern times, I am afraid that she will become a strong woman, and she will be used to being cautious and taking advantage of loopholes.
To say that the person who hates Zidai the most at this time is the second grandmother, she tried her best to prevent people from being favored, and she also made a concubine eldest son and eldest daughter.
If the second young master is married, it's okay to say, but he hasn't gotten married yet, which serious concubine can stand it and has no heirs in her husband's family?
The second grandmother was so anxious that she hated her son for not being angry, and hated that fox even more, if it weren't for her, her son would not have become the laughing stock of the capital.
But it doesn't matter, the child hasn't been born yet, has it? Even if they are born, are there still fewer children who die young?
Yunshang Xin'er stopped the topic, after all, it affects people's moods.
The two were elated and bought a lot of food and drink along the way.
I went to another restaurant and ordered roast duck and signature dish: pig's trotters, and the two of them walked to Li's house.
At noon, I made an appointment to go to the Li Mansion, and Mo Xuan would also go over.
When he arrived, Mo Xuan saw the two of them at a glance and went straight to his own lady.
took the things in the lady's hand and wiped her sweat distressedly, "Lady, are you tired?" Drink saliva? β
A group of people looked at it, Yun Sheng was a little embarrassed, raised his hand and twisted it around Mo Xuan's waist.
"Yunshang has seen uncle and aunt, Brother Li, and sister-in-law."
There are a lot of people today, Brother Li has specially asked for leave, and there is a man I don't know.
The man also took the initiative to step forward and took the things in Xin'er's hand, but he didn't show too much intimacy.
It seems that this is Xin'er's fiancΓ©.
This man has eyes full of cores, looks good, and is also very tall.
"Come and sit down, we'll have dinner in a while."
The aunt opened her mouth with a smile, dragged Yunshang to the table, and pulled her to sit down.
Yunshang smiled and asked if she had a headache recently.
"No, no, it usually doesn't hurt at all, but now I only use incense once a month, and the symptoms are much better than before."
Yunshang listened and nodded, as long as it wasn't easy to make a mistake, it was good.
Yun Sheng looked at the big belly of the Li family's sister-in-law opposite, and was a little curious, "Sister-in-law, how many months has it been now?" What is the due date? β
"It's been almost four months, and the due date is in the next year."
The sister-in-law of the Li family replied gently, and her hand unconsciously touched her stomach, full of happiness as a first-time mother.
There are now several subordinates in the Li Mansion, and there are also cooks in charge, so naturally they don't need to be done by the master.
Mo Xuan chatted with Brother Li and Uncle Zheng about business, and the conversation was quite pleasant.
Xin'er and Aunt Yunshang, the sister-in-law of the Li family, chatted about the small topic of their daughter's family, and let out giggles from time to time, attracting the attention of several men.
Brother Zheng smiled and said, "I heard that my sister-in-law is also in business? β
"She's just a little fight."
Mo Xuan looked at the lady with a gentle face.
Brother Zheng suddenly felt a little envious, "You and your sister-in-law have a really good relationship." β
Mo Xuan glanced at him and decided to knock and knock, after all, Xin'er was the lady's best friend.
"You and her can be fine, can't you? The lady is used to spoil, if you marry and get angry, can you feel comfortable? β
Brother Zheng nodded yes, his family is in business, the status of merchants in ancient times was not high, he has been running back and forth with his father since he was a child, and he can see at a glance what kind of character people have.
The person in front of him, I'm afraid it won't be simple in the future, and his lady won't be so simple.
How can a person who opens such an aromatherapy shop survive without means?
Uncle and Brother Li naturally saw Mo Xuan's intentions and were grateful.
When it comes to lunch, it's not a big family, there are not so many rules, and men and women sit at the same table.
I didn't eat or sleep, and I chatted about my favorite topics.
The guests and hosts enjoyed the meal until the afternoon.
The two families were not far away, and Yun Sheng and Mo Xuan walked back in a hurry.
The people around him hurriedly passed by, and some people would take a look at it and see that it was a couple with extraordinary temperament, just smiling and turning their heads, and no one bothered.
The two whispered and joked.
Soon arrived at the gate of the house, Yunsheng's expression froze, she didn't like it here, especially in the face of the mother-in-law who didn't know what to think.
Mo Xuan took her hand, "Lady, don't worry, it will be over soon, and we will be the only ones left in the family at that time." β
"If you want to live here, we will live, if you don't want to live, we will move, move far away."
Yunshang nodded, comforted, and the melancholy in her heart dissipated.
The people in the house are used to seeing their young masters and young ladies show affection, they don't raise their heads and don't open their eyes, they don't look at what they don't want to see, and they don't let them look at it.
Mo Xuan drank wine, full of the smell of wine, the two took a bath, and the mother in the backyard came to write a letter, tired after a day's work, eat simply in their respective kitchens, no need to serve in front of them.
The mother is also afraid, her daughter-in-law is better at acting than herself, and she can't win.
Call over to add to the blockage?
