Foster son and husband

Sitting with her was Liu Jingyun. Meimei specially asked Mrs. Changle Hou to invite her to come, and also wanted a quiet private room where she could sit and chat.

Knowing that she is busy, the business of a small embroidery shop is surprisingly good. In addition to the workshops in the backyard, another courtyard is now rented, and more than ten embroiderers are recruited. When I saw Liu Jingyun, I couldn't speak freely because I couldn't bear to take up too much of her time. Seeing Liu Jingyun sitting quietly with her, it must be because there is no urgent work in the shop?

Mrs. Changlehou said a few words to them, and then went downstairs to greet the guests, and told them to go down from time to time, not to sit in the building all the time, so as not to let down the flowers she carefully tended.

Meimei asked Liu Jingyun: "Are there peonies in Miss Liu's hometown?"

Liu Jingyun smiled and shook her head: "The peony is gorgeous, but its character is noble and desolate. It is not suitable for the hot and humid southern land. If you want to plant it by force, the flowers that barely survive will not be as expected!"

"Unexpectedly, Miss Liu also knows flowers?"

"I don't quite understand. In the past, I planted peonies in the old house in my hometown. I asked to plant them. Because I liked them, the gardener took good care of them. At least I planted a few peonies, but the flowers that bloomed were not as gorgeous and plump as the ones now. Later, those peonies gradually grew. The land has changed... changed, I have no choice but to call it 'fake peony'."

Mei Mei chuckled: "It was blended with local flower species, but after being grafted by the gardener, the species has changed? Miss Liu is really interesting. A peony is just a peony. She just changed her appearance. Why do you want to crown it?" She a 'false' word?"

Liu Jingyun also smiled embarrassedly: "I just called it out casually, and who knows, it spread. Some local people asked for branches to plant, and they all called it that."

Meimei looked towards a certain corner of the courtyard, and pointed to Liu Jingyun: "Look, that man is wearing a sky blue robe, do you recognize him?"

Liu Jingyun took a closer look, and blushed unconsciously: "Mrs. Weiyuan Hou...that's the sixth master of your family!"

"Oh! I thought you didn't know each other." Meimei smiled and said, "Do you know? The last time we met on the street, my sixth younger brother wanted to talk to you, but you hurriedly got on the carriage and left. My sixth younger brother When I came back, I was sad and depressed, I didn't think about food and drink, and I was about to fall ill!"

Liu Jingyun lowered her head, her ears turned red: "Ma'am, I'm joking."

Meimei said earnestly: "I'm not kidding, our sixth master is sincere to Miss Liu! I know that at the same time as my Xu's mansion proposed marriage to Miss Liu, there is also the Anyuanhou's mansion. That family is the youngest son and a Anyone with discernment can recognize this gem of a girl, but our sixth master knew her last year. Just by looking at her, he can tell that she has a noble character and admiration in his heart. Miss Liu doesn't think this is a kind of fate? Lord, you can be called the girl's bosom friend!"

Liu Jingyun lowered her head and remained silent. She didn't know what virtue and ability she was, and she actually touched the affection of the two princes of the Houfu. After Mrs. Weiyuanhou raised this idea to her, her cousin, Mrs. Changlehou, took the place of Mrs. Anyuanhou The wife proposed marriage for the fifth master of Anyuanhou's mansion, and the cousin said to her: "The last time you came to the mansion, you were accidentally seen by the fifth master. The fifth master already has a regular wife and is sick. He wants to ask his cousin to be a good concubine. The master from the concubine, but my sister thinks that being a concubine is worse than being a wife, you should think about the sixth master from the Weiyuan Houfu!"

In her heart, she has long been inclined towards Xu Liuye, who is gentle and elegant, and has an extraordinary bearing. What's more rare is the frankness and sincerity he showed her as friends at first sight. She was originally a eldest daughter, but what is she now?It's just a fleeing woman living in the capital. It's rare that he favors him so much. She believes in fate. When she sees Liu Ye, she also has a kind of intimacy. However, she feels that she is not qualified to marry yet. Her concubine and younger brothers need her, and she has the ability and confidence to take care of them well. She made up her mind not to marry. She came to look for her many times, and her cousin persuaded her countless times, so she had to face up to this question, should she marry or not?Can she marry?
Meimei looked at Liu Jingyun, knowing that she was struggling inside, she couldn't help but sighed, the so-called bystander is clear, but in fact Xu Lao Liu is really suitable for Liu Jingyun.

There are so many noble girls in the capital. Since Mrs. Xu failed to accept the girls from the Luo family, she began to ask the girls from various families in Beijing for Lao Liu, and she has brought back the horoscopes of two or three girls. Fortunately, they didn't match each other. The sixth child was in such a panic that he urged Meimei again in three or two days, and Meimei had no choice but to keep urging Mrs. Changle Hou. After being rejected twice, is she going to fall in love with the fifth son of the Anyuan Marquis Mansion?That one just admired her ability and beautiful appearance, and made it clear that she only wanted to be a concubine, but Xu Lao Liu could not compare to Xu Lao Liu, who could see her situation and character at a glance. Is it not enough to be a wife and promise to take care of my younger brothers together with her?

Seeing Mrs. Dingguo appeared in the yard, Meimei thought she should go down to say hello to her, and said to Liu Jingyun with a smile: "Miss is not a heartless person, you must remember our sixth master in your heart, okay? For the sake of our family's sixth master's sincere feelings, please ask Miss Liu to think about it and give me a letter, please? I am a quick-tempered person, and I always come to you by myself when I can't wait for your sister, but this is my last time Come to ask the girl, and I will be embarrassed to bother you in the future! There may be many opportunities in life, but are you sure you can meet a sincere man like Liu Ye again? Girl, think about it slowly, I have to go down to socialize ——My sixth master and I are waiting for your news!"

Liu Jingyun stood up to see her off, watched her walk to the stairs, suppressed a beating heart, bit her lips lightly and said: "I... Thanks to the high praise of the sixth master and Mrs. Wei Yuanhou, it is all thanks to my cousin to do it for me." host!"

Meimei didn't quite understand what she heard, but fortunately her brain turned quickly, and she immediately realized that she had agreed, so she said with a smile: "Good sister! With your words, I can go to work, our sixth master is waiting for you I have been waiting for this sentence for a long time!"

Withdrew a bright green jadeite bracelet from her wrist, and put it on Liu Jingyun's hand: "I'll wear this for you, it's a little bit of fun for me as a sister-in-law."

Liu Jingyun refused with a flushed face: "Madam, it's too precious..."

"What are you afraid of being expensive? I gave it to my family, so wear it!"

Meimei said: "When your cousin finishes her flower banquet today, I will discuss related matters with her tomorrow, and I will also find a matchmaker to formally come to propose marriage. My sister must be prepared!"

Liu Jingyun was a little embarrassed, so she married herself off?It's really embarrassing to have no parents and elder brothers to support me!

In the next few days, the Marquis of Weiyuan did not stop, and the engagement between Xu Junxuan and Liu Jingyun was completed in a compact and orderly manner. The woman came forward from Mrs. Changlehou, while the man came from Meimei and the second wife. I also think it's amazing. I thought this marriage would not pass the old lady's hurdle according to the routine. I have no ability to do it. Xu Junying personally came forward to do it, but God seems to be helping the sixth child and is happy to make a couple As if lovers got married, the old lady came back from a trip to the palace, and declared that she would pray to Buddha and eat fast for a month. Xiping is gone.It was under such circumstances that Meimei was able to represent the Hou Mansion to handle the marriage of the sixth child, and the second wife was only acting as an elder to guide and act as a consultant.

After discussing with the three brothers Xu Junying, Xu Junting, and Xu Junxuan, Meimei agreed that the speed of marriage is the most important thing for the sixth child, so three days after the engagement, the bride will be welcomed back to the waiting mansion, and they will be married. Liu Jingyun cried anxiously. It was originally agreed to give eight months to buy the dowry, so it's too much to wait for the mansion to do things?
Meimei was amused and sighed, finally figured out Xu Junying's mood to marry Qin Meiniang in a hurry. He was not in a hurry to marry in, but he was afraid of long nights and dreams, because there was an old lady in the mansion who could not allow their dreams to come true. real.

Fortunately, Xu Junxuan and Liu Jingyun had been together long enough to get to know each other pretty well, and it was Lang's concubine's intention to get engaged first and then get married. Except for the hasty marriage, it was considered a beautiful thing, and it was not called a forced marriage.

The second wife reported to the old lady that it was the cousin of Mrs. Changle Hou who had ordered the appointment. The old lady kept silent while twisting the beads, and she did not make any movement for three days, even though Xu Junying brought Xu Junxuan to the Buddhist hall in advance. Kneeling down and begging, the old lady just ignored her. After a few days after the new couple came in, the second wife said that the bride was actually a business woman with two younger brothers. Without crutches, he walked out of the Buddhist hall, ran to Ziyun hall, pointed at Meimei and cursed:

"This time I should see your treacherous heart. While I was in seclusion and chanting Buddha, I hurriedly married Lao Liu an unworthy business girl! What do you want to do? Brothers from the Xu family, Lao Liu You are talented and ambitious, and you are already the only one out there, are you going to ruin the fortune and future of the sixth child? The Xu family can't tolerate people who are jealous of the virtuous and capable!"

Meimei looked at the old lady who was trembling with anger, she was about to explode, what kind of grandmother is this?It's even more terrifying and hateful than the thousand-year-old tree demon in A Chinese Ghost Story!
Sitting upright and confronting the standing old lady for a while, a woman immediately stepped forward and said softly: "Young lady, please get up, it's time for the old lady to sit up!"

Meimei stood up reluctantly, walked to the bottom, watched Ruiyu and others help the old lady up to the seat, Meimei began to refute the old lady unceremoniously:
"The old lady said that I am a person who is jealous of the virtuous and capable. Where do you start? Please explain clearly! And please have a basis for what you say. The old lady is dozens of years old. She can't say wrong things to make people laugh and hurt her grandchildren. Daughter-in-law's heart, be careful that they will be disheartened towards you in the future, and you will lose that filial piety! Liu Jingyun, the sixth grandmother married by the sixth brother, who said she was a business woman? The old lady can ask someone to inquire about it. Mrs., that is a local family that would shake her feet for hundreds of miles around! Miss Liu is the eldest daughter of the eldest son of the Liu family. She is graceful, gentle and beautiful. She was in charge of housekeeping at school, and she met our sixth brother when she visited her cousin Mrs. Changlehou. The sixth brother fell in love with her at first sight. Mansion asked to marry, but Hou Mansion went to beg several times in person before he agreed. What about Xiuzhuang, there are five or six farms and villas outside the city, which were temporarily bought by the Liu family as dowry gifts. See? The 72 sets of dowry come here with a heavy dowry, and there is nothing empty in there! Miss Liu has such a family background, how can she not be worthy of the sixth younger brother? Who has no eyes to dare to say that she is not on the stage? Come out and compare, my own natal family What is it like again!"
