Chapter 14 Marriage (8)
A maid opened the curtain, and Du Yingran followed her grandmother into the house.There was no incense burning in the house, only the faint scent of lavender. The maid closed the windows, and the soft warm sun shone through the tulle to sprinkle warmth in the room.

The old lady carefully looked at Du Yingran's eyebrows, and said: "You have grown up too, and you will be Jiji in two months. Your father told me that the hairpin of your Jiji is the one of your previous mother. .”

"I haven't seen that hairpin yet. Is Madam Wu keeping it for me?" Du Yingran raised her head and asked, seeing the old lady's serious face softened under the sunlight, "Did my father send a letter?"

"It is indeed kept in the hands of Mother Wu." The old lady looked at Du Yingran and said, "The letter sent two days ago, and there is also a letter from you. You will read it later."

Du Yingran nodded, and took the envelope from the old lady's hand. The big characters on it were the words of her father.

"Since it's time for Ji, it's your turn to get married." The old lady said, "At first, I was thinking... who knew that you had another chance."

The Mo family is where she should belong, but now she is the son of the Meng family, Du Yingran lowered her head and said softly: "Who is that family?" Her voice was small and soft, like floating dust in the sun, Soaring in the air, up and down, with an ethereal meaning.

"Zhilan Yushu of the Meng family, I didn't expect to have some fate with you. Don't be shy, after all, it involves your life-long event, and your father is not around, so I, an elder, must tell you about the Meng family's affairs." Du Yingran would not be shy, she just lowered her head and nodded slightly, the old lady's eye wrinkles stretched out, and she narrated the matter of coming to the Meng Mansion.First of all, let’s talk about Meng Xianqian, the old man of the Meng Mansion, who was once the teacher of Emperor Ruihe, and when Emperor Jinghe was the prince, he was also the prince’s tutor. The emperor’s teacher of the two emperors can be said to have a unique status in the entire Yong Dynasty. .Since Emperor Jinghe came to the throne, he resigned from the crown prince and Taifu, and stayed at home with leisure.He died three years ago, and Meng Shuzhi's marriage was also delayed. "It is said that Meng Shuzhi of the Meng family grew up under the tutelage of Mrs. Meng, and is quite famous in the academy. Because of filial piety, it was delayed. You rarely participated in those flower parties before, and you have been in the boudoir. You may have heard these things. Not much."

It is Qi Zhuohua's credit that he seldom goes out. Du Yingran thought that according to what the old lady said, Mr. Meng is actually very good.The family background is good, the only one left in the capital is the big family, and the family background is also simple. The wife of the Meng family is also straightforward, and the son of the Meng family is even more Zhilan Yushu. That is a rare person.”

"So it's your fate." Even the old lady didn't expect this matter. At first, it was the daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhou, who fell in love with the Meng family. Who knew that in the end it was Du Yingran who took the lead, saying that it was Mrs. Meng. Seeing that Du Yingran is giving birth, there is also the master's comment, "Don't think too much, I have also told your father about this matter, he said in a letter that he will come here in a few days, and we will discuss this matter at that time."

She has been emphasizing that it is her own fate, and that Haitang has known about Mr. Meng's family for a long time. Du Yingran only feels that this husband-in-law is strange, but she does not point it out at this time. She pursed her lips and said: "Grandmother's eyes must be Okay. It is said that grandma is the general in the makeup."

The old lady smiled and said: "After being ill for a while, my little mouth is as sweet as honey."

Du Yingran said with a slight smile: "After I got sick, I did have a lot of different thoughts from before."

The old lady gave Du Yingran a surprised look, and then said: "That's good too. Well, the girl Zhuohua is still waiting for you, go quickly."
