Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 251 Meeting
Although the old lady was extremely resentful in her heart, she was still polite on the face, and ordered her servants to treat Mrs. Li and Mrs. Xie, who had just come to Feixian County and visited the Lin Mansion, well.

She didn't expect Mrs. Xie to come here, she was really surprised at first, but later she figured it out, this vicious woman was just here to see a joke.The aunt who was jealous of her back then gave birth to a son who married a peasant girl, how could she not let go of her hatred?

Mrs. Xie brought a lot of gifts and set up a table full.

The two of them didn't gossip for a while, and then the maid came to pass the news, saying that the second girl Du had arrived.

The old lady couldn't help but frowned, Xie smiled and said, "As soon as I got here, I will send someone to pick up Miss Du Er. Don't think that the old lady bothers me too much. I really want to see my future daughter-in-law."

The set on the surface is all fake, how can you really put her in your eyes?There was a chill in the corner of the old lady's eyes, and she said lightly, "You have come here from a long distance, she is also blessed, to be so cared about by you."

Mrs. Xie smiled, "During the years when Yuan Qing was in the capital, I treated him like my own son, and I wanted to pick a perfect one. He has high vision, so I don't know what to do. I found a suitable one here, and I am also happy for him.”

The old lady was so angry that she almost threw up her sleeves and left. She satirized Li Yuanqing's choice of thousands of choices, but finally found such a wrong family. Now that Du Xiaoyu is called, she still doesn't know what to do.

Seeing it, Mrs. Xie thought that it shouldn't be too much, if the old lady is annoyed, it's not okay to change her mind temporarily, then she smiled and said, "I'm afraid that someone who can be liked by Yuan Qing has something special about her." , not like an ordinary girl, since the old lady and husband have agreed, I really want to see her too."

The image of Du Xiaoyu appeared in the old lady's mind, aside from her family background, she is really smart, otherwise how could her grandson be so determined?She has known countless people in most of her life, and she knows Li Yuanqing well. Indeed, as Mrs. Xie said, she will never fall in love with anyone casually. People who don't show any flaws.

The two had their own ideas, and the maid soon led Du Xiaoyu in.

Mrs. Xie has delicate features, like a gentle person, only the corners of the eyes and the tip of the eyebrows are sharp, which makes her a bit aggressive, Du Xiaoyu secretly thought, just as she guessed, I am afraid that he is an extremely powerful person in his bones.

She saluted the old lady and Mrs. Xie one after another, her expression was calm, and she could not see any emotions in it.

Mrs. Xie showed some surprise. Before Du Xiaoyu was seated, she took off a red gold bracelet from her wrist. This bracelet was exquisitely crafted, carved with a plum blossom pattern, and the stamens were inlaid with gemstones of various colors. The end was very luxurious. , it looks like it is from the hands of famous masters.

For such a precious meeting gift, Du Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows slightly.

Xie smiled and said, "Take it, I think it must be suitable for you to wear. I came in a hurry, and I don't have time to prepare."

This is what it should be. When the elders see the younger generation give some gifts, let alone the future mother-in-law, Du Xiaoyu looks at the old lady with a questioning look.

She didn't pick it up immediately, even with such a beautiful bracelet, Xie's face couldn't help being a little stiff.

The old lady suddenly laughed, "Since it was your future mother-in-law who gave it to you, why don't you thank her." She is a girl who knows the times, no matter how the Xie family comes from a famous family, how can she really be willing to help Li Yuanqing in the future?Only her, the grandmother, is the one who breaks bones and connects tendons!
Only then did Du Xiaoyu reach out to take it, and bowed to Mrs. Xie.

Xie's eyes narrowed slightly, and she already knew that Du Xiaoyu would not flatter her, I really can't see that she has such backbone!Will Li Yuanqing not return to the capital in the future?She is her mother-in-law!What is the Lin Family's Merchants' House?Besides money, what else?This Lin Song has long ceased to be an official, and it is not so easy to go back.

The old lady's mood improved a little, and she also warmed up to Du Xiaoyu, asking questions.

It was time for lunch at noon when Li Yuanqing came over in a hurry. After seeing the old lady and Mrs. Xie, he looked at Du Xiaoyu. The latter nodded to him, indicating that he was safe, and he was relieved.

At that time, when he learned that Mrs. Xie was coming to the county, he was trying a case, so he sent Li Qin there. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xie was anxious to see Du Xiaoyu on the first day.

After dinner, he followed her to the backyard to enjoy the flowers. Du Xiaoyu took out the bright bracelet and clicked twice, "My future mother-in-law is really generous. Look, give such a big gift." It costs a few hundred or two hundred silver, and there are several kinds of gemstones on it, shining brightly.

Li Yuanqing sneered, "She doesn't lack these, she just wants to see your attitude."

Du Xiaoyu put the bracelet back on her sleeve and said, "She seems to be here to preside over the ceremony sincerely. She asked the old lady how the wedding gift is going. I think she will choose our house in a few days."

"That would be the best." Li Yuanqing raised his eyebrows and said, "She is here to facilitate this matter, and she will never mess it up."

Just as she thought, it seems that Mrs. Xie really regards Li Yuanqing as a thorn in her side.

"By the way, I want to ask you something." The two walked forward for a while, and Du Xiaoyu thought about the silk quilt, "Is the quilt of your Lin family made of silk? And in the capital city, the silk quilt is also made of silk." What kind of situation?"

Li Yuanqing was startled, "Why would you ask this?"

Du Xiaoyu talked about the business Li Jin mentioned, meaning that if possible, she would also like to take part in it.

"You are going to marry me soon." Li Yuanqing stared at her with a serious expression.

Du Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows, "Why, can't you do business after marrying you? Or is it because of Li Jin? Don't you believe me?"

"I just don't trust people very much." He pointed.

Du Xiaoyu chuckled, "Naturally I know how to avoid taboos, I won't lose the business, otherwise what's the point of being idle? Do you want to learn from the intrigues of those officials and wives all day long?"

"If you feel free, I can find something to do for you." He turned pale, "Well, it's said that there are three women in one drama, right?"

He even came to threaten her?Du Xiaoyu is not a vegetarian, so he immediately stretched out his hand to twist his ear.

The two fought for a while, Li Yuanqing pulled her to sit down, and said seriously, "There are indeed silk quilts in the capital, but not many, and they were given by others. As for the Lin family, I have never seen it, maybe there is no workshop here. "

"Then you said that you will go to Lingcheng to buy silk, and then process it into a silk quilt yourself, will there be a bright future?"

Li Yuanqing asked back, "Can you do it?"

"Of course I can't do it now, but it may not be possible later."

"Then let's talk about it after you make it." He tapped her head, dissatisfied, "I'm about to get married, and I'm just thinking about these things!" Standing up again, "I'll ask Zhou Kun to take you back."

It seemed that he was still busy with business, so Du Xiaoyu said goodbye to the old lady and Mrs. Xie and went back.

Du Xian looked left and right at the door, finally waited for his daughter to come back, hurriedly stepped forward to pull her and said, "It's finally here, guess who is back?"

He was very happy, who else could there be?Du Xiaoyu exclaimed, "Is that the eldest sister?" Without waiting for Du Xian to answer, she rushed towards the main room like a gust of wind.

Sure enough, it was Du Huanghua. She was a little fatter than when she left, with a rosy complexion, and she seemed to be living a good life.

Du Xiaoyu threw herself into her arms and acted coquettishly, "Sister, I miss you so much, you are finally willing to come back!"

"What's that called?" Mrs. Zhao said with a smile, "Huang Hua, look, she just thinks of herself as a child in front of you, and she's about to get married."

"Yeah, you want to get married, how can I not come back?" Du Huanghua stroked her hair, her heart was also ups and downs. Although it was only a few months, it seemed like they had been separated for a few years. I didn't miss them for a day, and I mentioned to Bai Yushi that I wanted to take my parents over. Now that Du Xiaoyu is going to marry Li Yuanqing, I am afraid that he will also go to the capital in the future, so I am very excited.

The two hugged for a while before Du Xiaoyu let go, "Didn't Nianlian bring it back?"

"It's cold, I'm afraid she will catch a cold, my father-in-law just caught the cold, my mother-in-law has to take care of him, and my husband has no way to come back..."

Being an official in ancient times is not as good as modern ones, especially Beijing officials, who can come wherever they want, and they can't ask for leave. Du Xiaoyu expressed his understanding. It seems that only Du Huanghua came back this time.

"You have to stay for a few more days." Du Xiaoyu hurriedly said.

"Do you still need to say it? Your father has said it several times." Zhao covered her mouth and smiled.

Du Xian went to the kitchen to get busy, today's meal must be very rich, the other three sat together and talked.

"That wedding dress is so pretty, you did it in time." Mrs. Zhao talked about the wedding dress, how did she know that Du Huanghua knew about it a long time ago.

Du Huanghua glanced at Du Xiaoyu with a smile, "I felt that she would find Mr. Ruyi soon, so I rushed to work. Mother, how is Mrs. Wan?" She always felt sorry for Mrs. Wan when she went to the capital. I'm afraid that there will be some losses in Hongxiufang.

"Don't worry, it's very good. Your apprentice is well-known in the county now. I don't know how many people have gone to her house to propose marriage." It was Mao Yuzhu, one of Du Huanghua's two apprentices. Can provoke heavy burdens in the workshop.

"That's good." Du Huanghua breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is brother-in-law doing well as an official?" Du Xiaoyu asked at this moment, "Do you know any official wife?"

Du Huanghua couldn't help being discouraged when she heard this. After several months of work, I don't know how many people came to invite her. She went to this house and then to that house. I don't know how to deal with it, and it's hard to refuse, so I can only bite the bullet.

Du Xiaoyu couldn't help worrying. Sure enough, as she thought, Du Huanghua didn't adapt to the atmosphere there. After all, she was a little more innocent. She couldn't compare to some people who grew up in a big family who had been influenced by fighting with each other since childhood.

"It would be great if you came to the capital." Du Huanghua held Du Xiaoyu's hand.

Seeing the two sisters looking at each other and smiling, Mrs. Zhao also laughed happily.
