Foster son and husband

Chapter 117 Misunderstanding
The old lady sat on it, smiling at Weier who was dancing in Ruixue's arms, while paying attention to the conversation between Mei Niang and Bai Jingyu's mother and daughter. Ruixue was young and couldn't hold Xiaojiao'er, so she winked at the nanny, signaling her to go and carry Wei'er with Ruixue.

Zhuang Yulan sat at the head of the three girls, looked at Meiniang coldly, exchanged glances with the old lady, gently tugged on Xu Xiaowan's sleeve, said something to her, and got up He bowed his head and walked to the back of the painting hall, bypassing the large rosewood and fragrant wood carved peony flower partition, and hidden in the light green curtain.

Mei Niang smiled: Cui Lian's mind has been lost, and Zhuang Yulan doesn't care about Mrs. Hou's style, because she will have it in the future.If Xu Junying doesn't come back to accompany the old lady for dinner, Baoju must come over first to say, without a cousin, the meal is not delicious, and the bride-to-be has to not participate in the lively family banquet tonight.

That's okay, if there is a seat vacant, maybe Mei Niang can sit down to eat earlier, as long as there are no leftovers, it's quite fun to talk and eat with the three girls of Xu's residence.

Wei'er started to make a fuss, the second wife couldn't stay for dinner, she bid farewell to the old lady, and left with the nanny holding Wei'er, Xu Junlang got up to see them off, and when the dinner was on the table, he came back again, taking the eldest sister with her Sitting on the left hand side of the old lady, after Bai Jingyu filled the soup and vegetables for the old lady, she took advantage of the gap to peel a few boiled shrimps, put them in a small plate and handed them to the eldest sister, and Xu Junlang held them one by one with chopsticks and fed them. The eldest sister ate, and the eldest sister smiled at Xu Junlang while eating. Bai Jingyu looked at the father and daughter, and stood still for a long time like a demon.

Mei Niang glanced at her, sighed softly, and handed the soup bowl to Xu Xiaomin.

As expected, the old lady didn't let Mei Niang stand for too long, after serving the soup, she let her sit at the table and eat together.

Tonight, there are sweet and delicious white boiled shrimp, fat but not greasy goose meat, coriander baby pigeon, canary bird, fish fillet in sauce, palace pot hare, several dishes are spicy, super coquettish Mother's taste, a meal is very comfortable.

I just can't figure it out, there is nothing wrong with this old lady, but the taste is so similar to hers, the two of them chatted about the dishes they liked, and they talked very speculatively.

The same taste, won't you be the same as this old lady Xu when you get old in the future, with yin and yang strangeness and inconsistency?Don't, if you want to become like this, you'd rather change your taste.

Mei Niang raised her eyes to look at the old lady, and it happened that the old lady was also looking at her, her eyes flickered, the smile on the face is the most frightening, the eyes are not scary, but they seem to hide a deep meaning, making it difficult to figure out.

Mei Niang was lucky, she found a goose wing the size of a turkey wing, and was just about to eat it when she came back, when she suddenly heard the voice of the woman outside the door: "Master is here!"

With a shake of her hand, the goose wings fell into the bowl, and the time of chewing and enjoying the delicious dinner came to an end. When Uncle Xu came back, her appetite was gone.

The legendary telepathy is nothing more than that. Just after Xu Junying entered the hall, Zhuang Yulan also emerged from the hall, with a smile on her cheeks, and looked at Xu Junying affectionately. After all, she came from a family. Under the eyes of everyone, she controlled He didn't go up to meet him, but blessed Fushen from a distance, and softly ordered the close girl Jinsuo:

"Your Majesty has worked hard all day. You just came back. You must be thirsty and hungry. Go make some tea! Let them pass on the meal again and cook some good dishes!"

Xu Junying came up to salute the old lady and greeted the old lady. The old lady said: "Are you hungry? Have a cup of tea first, but Laner hasn't eaten yet. I will pass on the food later. She just happens to eat with you!"

As soon as Xu Junying entered the room, his eyes searched and swept over. Mei Niang lowered her eyes before he saw her, and you don't have the courage to accept the trick, just dodge it for a while.

He heard the questions and answers between him and the old lady, and said a few words, to the effect that he was not hungry, he had eaten in the palace, he just went to see his mother and Heng Er, and he came to pay his respects to his grandmother, and took Mei Niang back by the way. .

Mrs. Xu nodded her head: "Let's sit down for a while, Mei Niang just sat down and had a bite, and I'll go back after drinking tea."

Grandma spoke, Xu Junying had to obey, greeted Xu Junlang and Xu Junting, walked to the side and sat down, Zhuang Yulan took the teacup brought by Jinsuo and delivered it to him, Xu Junying said: " There is Cousin Lauran!"

Zhuang Yulan blushed, smiled and lowered her head, walked to another chair and sat down.

Mei Niang felt Bai Jingyu cast two glances at her, and knew what she was thinking: the husband came back, and the wife cared about eating and drinking on her own, without even asking, this is not normal.

She was so powerless, Xu Junying deliberately sat behind her, and saw him after turning her head slightly, so she smiled at him and asked dryly:

"Master Hou, do you want to eat more? The food is still hot!"

Xu Jun's English was cold and hard, and he responded briefly: "No!"

Mei Niang began to regret a bit, and returned to the Hou Mansion after revealing her secrets. Was this decision wrong?

Feeling that it took a long time to finish a meal, Mei Niang put down her chopsticks long ago, took a spoon, and scooped up the soup bit by bit. She could only drink the soup and couldn't swallow anything else.

Zhuang Yulan saw that Xu Junying's face was not good, so she didn't say that she wanted to make tea to show the tea art, she cleared up the bowls and chopsticks, and the maids brought hot water and hot tea for everyone to wash their hands and rinse their mouths. After sitting for a while, the eldest sister dozed off, and the old lady sent Xu Junlang and his wife away, and asked Mother Ji to take the three girls back to their room. Xu Junting also let them go, leaving Xu Junying and Meiniang behind. , the scene was a little weird, Mei Niang sat next to the old lady, Xu Junying and Zhuang Yulan sat side by side, they hadn't even married yet, but they didn't look like husband and wife, Xu Junying's expression was too serious, but Zhuang Yulan's face was gentle .

The old lady drank two sips of tea and started to speak. What she said shocked Meiniang, and she couldn't help admiring the old woman's strangely smooth and crooked thinking.

The old lady said: "Junying came back from the palace last night, too. I heard that the empress gave a reward. There are brocade boxes and silk satins, each of which is double. Is there such a thing?"

Xu Junying was also stunned for a moment, and replied: "There is such a thing, the grandson has indeed been rewarded by the empress, and assigned to Mrs. Hou."

The old lady glanced at Mei Niang: "Is it two brocade boxes? What's inside?"

Mei Niang said: "In addition to the four bolts of brocade that are suitable for making clothes in spring, there are also two brocade boxes, which contain all kinds of jewelry made by Sizhenfang in the palace. There are about three sets, each set is made of different materials. It is so precious and beautiful that my daughter-in-law is not willing to use it."

"Why are the items rewarded by the queen empress twice, regardless of thickness? You may not understand - the marriage between Lan'er and Junying can be done in a few days. In the past, it was just mentioned and talked about, but now But it's settled. A few days ago, I went to the palace to meet the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother promised to marry Lan'er... It's not your fault. I'm afraid you'll have to take care of me for a few more years with your body, but Junying is only as handsome as Heng'er. One, your eldest grandson, how can you not be prosperous? The two aunts don’t please him, so you still have to marry Lan’er in. Lan’er is no better than you. The Zhuang’s family is the most prominent and famous family in the south of the Yangtze River. Noble, although you are the last step to enter the door, you have to be a wife and sit on an equal footing with you. You are Mrs. Hou, and so is she! The queen mother and I are cousins, how can the queen mother not understand the queen mother's mind? She is smart and far-sighted. After finishing the errands, Junying will reward Mrs. Hou. The rewards are double, one for you and one for Lan Er. Those brocade jewellery, don't touch them, put them in my place and wait for them After the two get married, they will find a time to burn incense and pay homage to their ancestors, and then send them back to you. Don't worry, what the empress gave to you is yours, and nothing will be lost!"

Meiniang remained silent, she looked at Xu Junying, with a half-smile on her face, the old one is so capable, will the younger one be better than the blue one?If he says that's fine, so be it, the reward is double, and it's given to the two wives, so let them each take one.She will definitely say to him viciously: Don't even think about it!Entering the palace tomorrow, you go and ask clearly before talking to me!
Zhuang Yulan's face was flushed, and she also peeked at Xu Junying, and then at Meiniang, unable to hide the smile on her face, she had to lower her head again.

Xu Junying had no time to pay attention to Zhuang Yulan, being looked at by Mei Niang, his expression was very interesting, his face slowly turned red, more and more red, bright and translucent, just like a bright red flower, under the light Especially good-looking, Mei Niang almost couldn't help but want to laugh out loud, but he gave her a stern look, and she didn't dare to laugh anymore.

I only heard Xu Junying say to the old lady: "I tell my grandmother: the empress has an eloquence, and this batch of rewards is only for the Qin family!"

Zhuang Yulan didn't move, the old lady couldn't believe it: "Did you hear me right?"

Xu Junying said: "Grandson heard it right, and she won't make a mistake. She has already handed it over to Meiniang. What belongs to her is for her to dispose of!"

The old lady lowered her face, thought for a while, looked at Mei Niang and said: "It's better to be cautious, maybe there is a mistake? How could there be two identical rewards? The empress is young and not confused. You first Don't move, seal it and bring it to me, and wait until you figure it out!"

What Meiniang was about to say, Xu Junying said before her: "Grandma doesn't have to be like this, the double rewards given by the empress actually have nothing to do with the grandson. At that time, I wanted to give her a present, but due to my poor health, I delayed until now to get a double gift, which was indeed for Mei Niang. My grandson saw the emperor and empress today, so I asked again. The empress said that giving the Qin family a double reward has a deep meaning, and the Qin family understands it!"

Zhuang Yulan lowered her head, but did not raise it again. The old lady was silent for a while, then waved her hands, her voice was hoarse:
"It's night, go back and rest!"

Mei Niang stood up quickly, Xu Junying looked at her, stood up slowly, then slowly bowed to the old lady, and said: "Grandmother also rest, grandson is going down!"
