Chapter 67: Asking for Meeting
Xue Hualin was accustomed to Xue Ningxiang's muttering, and he didn't care, what he cared about was the beautiful white horse, especially when he saw that the white horse was so obedient that he followed Xue Yun without the reins, the envy in his heart was surging uncontrollably. "If only the white horse were mine!"
When Xue Ningxiang heard this, she hated Xue Hualin and said, "You want to be beautiful!"
"Why do I want to be beautiful? Aya raises so many horses, and none of them can catch my eyes!" Xue Hualin retorted dissatisfiedly: "Speaking of which, this white horse can make me like, that is its creation." ”
Xue Ningxiang sneered: "Maybe this white horse is a big gift from someone's grandfather and grandmother, so you don't have to be delusional here." ”
When Xue Hualin heard this, he pondered for a moment and did not make any more noise. If that's the case, then Xue Changbing wouldn't be willing to give up that white horse to him no matter what!
Xue Yun took the lead in running to the door of the hall, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Li Dakang and Liu Mei sitting on the front seat.
Li Dakang was very happy when he saw Xue Yun, and beckoned to her: "Changbing, come to my grandfather and grandmother." ”
Xue Yun hurriedly saluted the elders present, and when she saw her father Xue Zhao, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, her eyes were suddenly covered with tears. No matter what, she is the little girl who wants to be cared for in her father's arms. Since A-Niang's death and Du Lingyun entered the Xue family, she has never had this kind of treatment again!
Xue Yun walked to Xue Zhao's table and said respectfully, "Father, you're back." ”
Xue Zhao wore a decent brand new cyan robe today, the color was good, but it was a little old. I don't know if it's because he's really old, or because the color is particularly old, which makes Xue Yun's heart feel sour.
Xue Yun looked at her daughter, who had become more elegant in front of her, with a faint smile between her eyebrows, bowed slightly, and said, "How are you doing?"
Xue Yun subconsciously glanced at Du Lingyun and said, "Everything is fine with my daughter, please rest assured father." ”
"That's good. Xue Zhao said with a smile: "Go to your grandfather and grandmother!"
Xue Yun hurriedly answered "yes", walked to Liu Mei's side, and sat down carefully.
Du Lingyun was suddenly solemnly glanced at by Xue Yun, and couldn't help lowering his head a little weakly, he was about to reach out for a few sunflower seeds, but he accidentally knocked over the teacup on his table and spilled the tea on the ground. Du Lingyun was shocked in his heart, and quickly raised his head to look at Xue Zhao, whose face did not fluctuate, and apologized to everyone present in a panic: "I'm sorry, it's rude!"
When Li Dakang, Liu Mei, Dai Xi and others heard this, they all smiled and shook their heads, signaling that Du Lingyun did not need to panic.
Seeing this, the steward Li Fu immediately ordered the house slave to clean up the water stains in front of Du Lingyun.
Xue Ningxiang, Xue Hualin, Xue Haiyue, Xue Zirong and others quickly entered the hall under the leadership of Li Jinsheng, saluted the elders and sisters present and then sat down.
Xue Ningxiang and Xue Hualin were next to Du Lingyun, Xue Haiyue was sitting next to Fu Tinglin, and Xue Zirong was squeezed next to Huang Weishan, and couldn't wait to lower her voice and tell her what happened to Xue Hualin in Xue Yun's peach blossom courtyard. Huang Weishan listened, smiled and slapped Xue Zirong to warn her that she would talk too much. Although Xue Zirong was slapped by Huang Weishan, she was happily tired of covering her mouth next to Huang Weishan and laughing to herself.
Li Dakang saw that everyone had arrived and sat down, so he said loudly: "Today, a family banquet is held here, especially for the arrival of the virtuous son-in-law's family. From Wangzhou to Haizhou, the journey is tiring, and the virtuous son-in-law has worked hard!"
Xue Zhao hurriedly got up and said: "It's the son-in-law who is not sensible, the son-in-law should have come to visit the second elder a long time ago, because he has been walking out for business all the year round, and he has too little time to return home, until he returned the day before yesterday and was reminded by the lady, so he hurriedly prepared a thin gift and rushed over, which is really a bit rude! ”
After hearing this, Dai Xi smiled lightly and did not speak.
Li Dakang twisted his beard and smiled: "Changbing is Yi'er's only daughter, and she is also the daughter of your Xue family, although Yi'er died early, this Li family has always been her mother's mother's family, and it is also her dependence. ”
Xue Zhao hurriedly said: "Chang Bing should visit the second elder from time to time, and the second elder wants Chang Bing to accompany him for as long as the younger son-in-law does not dare to object." If she wants to go home one day and send a message, her son-in-law will immediately send someone to pick her up. ”
After hearing this, Li Dakang smiled and said, "Virtuous son-in-law don't have to be nervous, sit down and chat while eating." Now, I wonder if my cousin is in good health?"
When Xue Zhao heard Li Dakang mention his cousin, he knew that he was asking his mother Li Yueqin. Li Yueqin and Li Dakang are distant cousins, but because Li Xinyi married into the Xue family, the relationship between the two families is naturally closer. "When I go back to my father-in-law, my mother's health is quite healthy. Previously, she had been worshipping Buddha in the temple, and I heard that she was coming back in the near future. ”
"That's good. Li Dakang listened to it and said with a smile: "You have to bother to take care of it." ”
"Yes, father-in-law. Xue Zhao hurriedly bowed down and filled his wine glass, and said respectfully to Li Dakang: "Father-in-law, son-in-law toasts you." ”
Li Dakang smiled at Xue Zhao, motioned for Xue Zhao to sit down, raised the wine cup and drank it all, and then said to everyone at the banquet: "This is a family banquet, you are all casual today." Sisters need to move around and get to know each other more. ”
When all the juniors here heard this, they all responded "yes" in unison, and the atmosphere was immediately more lively than before.
Everyone was pushing cups and changing lamps and talking happily, but they heard a house slave outside the door report that someone asked to see Xue Yun. Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then all their eyes were focused on Xue Yun.
Xue Yun was buying dishes for Liu Mei, and when she suddenly heard this information, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Liu Mei lovingly tidied up Xue Yun's slightly messy hair, and asked with a smile: "Changbing, have you made friends in Haizhou these days?"
Xue Yun thought about it, but couldn't think of anyone who would ask to see him at this time, so he immediately shook his head and said, "Grandmother, granddaughter has never made any friends in Haizhou. Most of the time, it was Jinsheng's second cousin, Jincai's cousin, Jinjun's cousin, Yugui's cousin, and Yuxiang's companion to me, if my grandmother didn't believe me, I could ask them. ”
After listening to this, Liu Mei looked around at several juniors with a smile, and when she saw that they all shook their heads, she said, "But who will know you in Haizhou?"
Xue Yun could only innocently shake his head again, saying that he really didn't know who asked to see him.
After listening to Liu Mei's conversation with Xue Yun, Li Dakang raised his eyes to look at the house slave who came to report, and asked, "Didn't the person who asked to see Changbing hand over the name post and didn't report his name?"
"Back to Ah Lang, no. The house slave shook his head and said, "That person only said that the little lady of Changbing would naturally recognize him when she saw him!"
Although Li Dakang was full of doubts, he still said to the house slave: "Go and invite in." ”
"Yes, Aaron. "The house slave should finish and fly out.
