Chapter 332 Betrothed
Guo Shichao watched him walk away and slowly walked back. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This day is the sixteenth day of the first month, and he sent Jiang Chengtian away early in the morning, and he was going to Meng Gongfu. Today is the day when Meng Yu and Xiaoxiao are engaged, and he is the only elder of Xiaoxiao in the capital. Meng Dingguo said that today will hold a ceremony to insert hairpins into betrothals, and after Meng Yu inserted hairpins into Xiaoxiao today, he is going to give him a big gift.
Although Xiaoxiao was in the period of filial piety, since she lived in Meng Gongfu, she would definitely marry Meng Yu in the future, and she would not choose any other way out for her, so she was also engaged to let her live here with peace of mind. Meng Yuhao said, Xiaoxiao has encountered misfortunes one after another, and has had two accidents recently, and since the death of her parents, Xiaoxiao seems to have completely lost her self-confidence, and has always had an uneasy attitude towards Meng Yu, always wondering in her heart if her Meng Yu brother will always like her.
Although this engagement ceremony is not intended to be publicized, as soon as breakfast is over, many close friends have come to Menggong's Mansion, and the famous matchmaker on West Street, the fourth aunt of the He family, also came.
Ying Xiuling was going to be worshiped today, so Su Qiyun personally combed Xiaoxiao's hair. still pulled up a jet-black bun like usual, combed her two favorite thin braids for her, and twisted her bangs neatly for Xiaoxiao. Then he pushed it away and looked: "What a beautiful little girl! It's a pity that she's too thin! Look back at the fat aunt who raised you!"
Xiaoxiao looked at Aunt Su gratefully, since she was in Xiyuzhou, Aunt Su has especially cherished her and Yubao, so that she has been well cared for and considerate after the death of her parents.
Because her parents had just died, Xiaoxiao didn't wear bright clothes, but wore a silver-gray waist-pinching shirt and a dark green pleated long skirt, but the gray clothes had crimson thin edges on the edges, which made her more delicate and beautiful.
Guo Shichao came early in the morning, Meng Dingguo said that he was an elder, let him sit with him, he was a little unaccustomed, always restless, and quickly stood up when he saw the older visitors.
When the guests arrived, the fourth aunt of the He family led Meng Yu and Xiaoxiao out, everyone is a close relative and friend, and they were still amazed when they saw Xiaoxiao, what a clever little girl, and some sighed secretly, but unfortunately she was too thin, no wonder, this little girl was really ill-fated.
Some people know the story of Meng Yu and Jiang Luping, and they can't help but sigh that their fate is unpredictable.
However, in general, everyone admits that this is a beautiful couple, and they are all very envious.
Mrs. Meng Ying Xiuling took a delicate red cotton box from Yahuan Chunxiu, and another Yahuan Chunyan came up to open the hairpin box. Inside is a red gold hairpin, the head of which is a gold leaf made of gold flakes, and in the middle of the leaf is inlaid with a large pearl of precious light. The hairpin body is carved with smooth lines of aquatic plants and wave patterns, the shape of the golden hairpin is simple and generous, but the workmanship is extremely exquisite, and the veins on the gold leaves are clearly visible.
Ying Xiuling took the golden hairpin out of the box and handed it to Meng Yu with a smile.
Meng Yu took the golden hairpin and looked at his mother and smiled. He knew how much Ying Xiuling was looking forward to this moment.
Meng Dingguo's eyes couldn't help but widen, this son who didn't deal with him all day long, and the son who claimed that he would never marry in his life, was about to take the most important step in his life.
Meng Yu put the golden hairpin in the smiling black bun. She is also dressed like a child, and she looks like a child, and with this hairpin, it seems that everyone is rich and vivid. Meng Yu inserted the golden hairpin for her, but did not immediately stand side by side next to her, but looked at her, stretched out his hands, grabbed her shoulders, and kept looking at her with a smile.
Xiaoxiao looked at Meng Yu and smiled, revealing a pair of good-looking dimples. Only then did everyone find out that this pair of beautiful people had a pair of dimples.
Seeing Meng Yu treating Xiaoxiao so affectionately, everyone knew that he really liked her, and Xiaoxiao was very happy in his heart, his heart was pounding, but he could only look at Meng Yu with a smile.
It wasn't until Meng Dingguo coughed that Meng Yu woke up suddenly, saluted his parents with a smile, and bowed to Guo Shichao. Guo Shichao quickly stood up and grabbed Meng Yu to prevent him from saluting: "Brother Meng Yu, thank you for being so kind to Xiaoxiao." I thank you for my little aunt!"
As soon as he said this, Xiaoxiao was about to shed tears again, Meng Yu smiled and said: "Xiaoxiao is my most beloved person, I should have been good to her, don't worry." ”
Meng Yu and Xiaoxiao saluted all the elders, and at this time, Meng Xue, who was standing with Ying Shaoyan, walked up to Xiaoxiao and shouted: "Sister-in-law," and took off the clean and gentle heirloom Hetian jade pendant from her chest, and hung it on her chest for Xiaoxiao: "Sister-in-law, this is originally going to be passed down by my family, so sister-in-law should keep it and leave it to your daughter-in-law in the future!"
Smiling and smiling with shame, Meng Yu looked at her with a smile. The guests laughed too.
They are all close relatives and friends, after the engagement ceremony, Meng Dingguo and his wife left everyone to have a banquet, and the fourth aunt of the He family smiled and said to Xiu Ling before leaving: "This pair is the most perfect pair that my wife has ever seen, it is really a talented woman, a good couple and a genius!
Ying Xiuling hurriedly said: "Then you are still missing? Today, the fourth aunt has the first credit!"
The fourth aunt of the He family left diligently.
Guo Shichao politely saluted and said goodbye to Meng Dingguo and his wife and the elders present. Because of its proximity, he did not come on horseback today. At this moment, he walked slowly down the street, which can be regarded as a big thing. From today onwards, he really doesn't have to worry about Xiaoxiao and Yubao every day, which is also thanks to Meng Yu's kindness and affection. Xiaoxiao has a good future, but his heart is a little more uneasy and lost, after all, not everything can be completely free of psychological burden.
He didn't go back to the home where he was alone, after Jiang Zhan and Jiang Chengtian left, Jiang Luping was also alone, running the Jiang family's business alone every day, although he had Yahuan and his family to help, but he was also tired of labor.
He walked to Jiang Luping's house and saw the goods he was familiar with piled up in the yard. This is a testimony of the love between them, and it is also a testimony that he and Sister Jiang depend on each other and pity each other.
Jiang Luping had already shipped the goods this morning, and was working with Xiaocai and Li'er to move the newly ordered goods of the customers to the vacated space, and when she saw Guo Shichao coming in, she came over with a smile and said softly: "Busy for a long time, tired, right?"
Guo Shichao nodded, and the two of them entered the house together. Jiang Luping took off his coat for him, Guo Shichao sat on the chair, the room was as warm as spring, Jiang Luping brought him a cup of warm tea, and he took a sip. Sister Jiang is like this, always so gentle and considerate to make people comfortable. Guo Shichao felt very tired, he was a martial arts practitioner, and he was so young, he wouldn't get tired easily, but today's events really made him tired.
Looking at Meng Yu and Xiaoxiao's engagement ceremony, he, as Xiaoxiao's cousin, was worshiped while thinking that Jiang Luping must be uncomfortable at home.
Jiang Luping squatted next to his chair, put her hand on his knee, and said softly, "Go and lie down for a while when you're tired, you don't have a good face." ”
Guo Shichao put his hand on the back of Jiang Luping's hand: "Sister, I didn't expect that Brother Meng Yu would be so good at Xiaoxiao." ”
Jiang Luping's clear eyes stared at Guo Shichao: "Shichao, what do you want to say?"
Guo Shichao got up from the chair, pulled Jiang Luping up, hugged her in his arms, put his face on her cheek, and whispered in her ear: "Brother Meng doesn't really love to smile, how can he love her?"
Jiang Luping pushed Guo Shichao away: "Shichao, you ......"
Guo Shichao continued: "Xiaoxiao and Yubao have always been a heart problem of mine, and now that they have a future, my cousin has nothing to worry about." ”
He looked at Jiang Luping: "I told Meng Yu that if he needs it one day, I will pay him back with my life, and now, I owe him more." (To be continued.) )
