Chapter 646 Liu Mei
Mrs. Liu obviously didn't expect her good sister to be there when the opening opened that day, and immediately widened her eyes in surprise, and her voice became a little higher: "That day, so you were there that day? Why didn't I see you? ?”

"Hey, you are surrounded by a group of people. How can you see me when you have time? You don't know, the clothes worn by Miss Xianshu were beautiful that day, and so was her brother-in-law. Oh, by the way, come to me when it opens that day I have a lot of big bosses. The owner of Fumanlou, the eldest lady of Jinji Vinegar Workshop, ah, the one that excites me the most is the God of Wealth sent by the young owner of Fumanlou. Yoyo, it's all made of gold!"

Mrs. Liu smiled modestly, feeling a little overwhelmed by the inquiries of the sisters.

Immediately after the initial shock, Liu Mei felt unbalanced in her heart. She curled her lips secretly and muttered, "What is it made of gold? Maybe it's gold-plated. It's fake! You ignorant bumpkin!"

The sisters hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they talked for a long time, from men to children, to trivial matters, and finally, they all talked about Lin Yuan's marriage.

Mrs. Liu hurriedly stopped: "Oh, my eldest girl is only thirteen after the new year, and she is still young, so don't worry about getting married."

"What's so small, it's not so small! My husband and I were married at the age of thirteen!"

Speaking of her daughter's marriage, Liu felt a little uncomfortable: "Well, wait a little longer, don't the daughters of big families have to wait until the fifteenth to get married? I also want to support my eldest daughter for a few more years, Don't get married so early, like me, if you marry into your husband's family, you are no longer a member of your mother's family, and if you are wronged or something, I feel distressed as a mother."

Mrs. Liu's words were reasonable, and everyone present nodded involuntarily. Didn't they just get married early and have babies early?If it weren't for the poverty of her natal family, who wouldn't want to keep her daughter by her side for a few more years?
"Hey, my parents are too poor, and they wanted to marry my eldest brother a wife, so they married me early for the gift of a few taels of silver." The woman who gave birth to two sons sighed. , very much agree with Mrs. Liu's words, "Your daughter is so promising, please raise her for a few more years. Your daughter is handsome and capable. In the future, you will not worry about getting married!"

Liu Mei will never look down on other people's kindness, so she chuckled: "That's right, let your daughter earn a few more years for you. If you get married early, then all the money of Daohuaxiang will have to fall into the pocket of the mother-in-law's family." What's more, you have two daughters in your family, this kid is only a few months old, if the eldest daughter gets married, won't your family have to go back to the bitter life of drinking northwest wind?"

As soon as Liu Mei said this, several people fell silent. You look at me and I look at you. I don't know what to say because of embarrassment.

In fact, Mrs. Liu had already heard that there was something in Liu Mei's words before, but she didn't say anything about the sisterhood for many years, but now her words are really too unreasonable.What does it mean to earn them a few more years of money, as if they kept their daughters just to get her money!Besides, my daughter understands that even if Lin Yuan really gets married in the future, their family will not be reduced to the point where no one cares about them!

"Da Meizi, I may disappoint you. Even if my eldest sister gets married, she won't care about our mothers." Although Liu's temperament is weak, she is not at all ambiguous when it comes to children.

"My eldest daughter is not only good at doing business, but also a very filial child. Not to mention our parents, even her uncles and aunts can help if they can. She will bring her grandparents a lot of things. Unlike some people, after getting married, they will no longer care about the elderly at home, and they will eat and drink spicy food in the city by themselves, and let their own parents eat pickles in the village!"

Although Mrs. Liu didn't say it clearly, everyone knew who these people were.The sisters cast their eyes on Liu Mei one after another. Don't look at her well-dressed at the moment, her parents are just ordinary people.Poor old couple, they spent a lot of effort to find her a good husband's family, but they didn't expect this girl to get married, but she didn't send anything home, and she wasn't filial at all.

Liu Mei blushed at what she said, and snorted angrily. Just when everyone thought the two of them were going to quarrel, they were surprised to find that Liu Mei, who had always been tolerant of sand, didn't say a word and kept silent. .

This is not a good sign.Mrs. Liu still knows Liu Mei well. It would be great if this guy quarreled with her face to face. Now, is there something else going on?

Because of the quarrel between Liu Shi and Liu Mei, the nostalgia between the sisters gradually changed, and seeing that the situation was not right, the women all left one after another.

Mrs. Liu still has a good impression of these people, and made an appointment with them to go to Linjiaao more in the future.

Before going out, Lin Yuan had thoughtfully prepared a rice flower-flavored pastry for each of them as a gift.Although Daohuaxiang's pastries are delicious, they are not so fresh for the Liu family who often eat them.

And Lin Yuan specially prepared a lot of pastries when she came here, because she didn't know the other elders of the Liu family well, and she didn't know whether Mrs. Liu would go to other elders' homes to pay New Year's greetings after she came back, so she prepared more of these.Now it's just right, it can be used as a gift for these aunts.

Several people were overjoyed when they saw the eye-catching three characters of "Daohuaxiang" on the pastry box.Let alone Daohuaxiang cakes, they are ordinary cakes, and some of them can't eat them often.Now he likes Liu Shi's eldest daughter even more, and he is even more envious of Liu Shi.

Liu Mei didn't want it at first, but she really couldn't resist the delicious pastry. Although she only bought the cheapest Daohuaxiang thing once before, she still remembers the taste clearly until now.

Reaching out her hand to take the pastry from Lin Yuan, Liu Mei's mouth curled up: "Okay, my niece really has a heart, and I will bring my younger brothers and sisters to Aunt Mei's house to play some other day."

Lin Yuan had a very good impression of the first few aunts, but she really didn't like the last one who appeared, and even hated her superior virtue.

"Okay." Nodding politely, Lin Yuan didn't talk to her any more, and she didn't even mention to Liu Mei the matter of inviting them to Daohuaxiang that she told the previous people.

Liu Shi and Lin Yuan sent them to the door, and they all went home happily, only Liu Mei stayed at the end.Lin Yuan saw that the woman had something to say to her mother. Although she was worried that her mother would suffer, but she couldn't bear to let the child be caught by the wolf, she still made an excuse to leave, but she didn't go far.

"Ahem, Xianshu, there is something I don't know if I should remind you."

Mrs. Liu was obviously still brooding over what Fang Cai said to her, with a dispirited look on her face, she said coldly, "Say what you want to say, and if you don't want to say it, I'll go back."

Lin Yuan, who was hiding in the dark and eavesdropping, burst out laughing. It seemed that her worries were completely unnecessary. Since the birth of her son, Mrs. Liu has become much more vocal.

Liu Mei was stunned for a moment, and after a long time of reaction, she squeezed out a sentence: "I am a straightforward person, as a good sister, I will remind you whether you like to listen or not."

Lin Yuan curled her lips, she couldn't speak straight, she obviously didn't like other people's speech without going through the brain, if she were to face the wife of the county magistrate of the Jin family, would she still be so straightforward?It would be strange not to nod and bow!

Mrs. Liu also curled her lips, whoever is your good sister is a good idea!
Glancing at the courtyard, seeing that no one was eavesdropping, Liu Mei continued: "Xian Shu, I'm not talking about you, you can wait a few more years for your daughter's marriage, but you can't wait for your younger sister's marriage. She was 21 in [-], not to mention in the countryside, even in the town, there are no girls who are not married at such an age in the capital. Oh yes, there may be, but those girls either have hidden diseases, or they just do it. What shameful things did you do when you were a girl?"

Before she could finish speaking, Mrs. Liu had already inserted her waist, and replied, "What? Dameizi, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that my sister has a hidden disease or that my sister has done something embarrassing? Hmph, don't worry about it." Random speculation here, I can tell you, my sister is a capable woman, she opened her own winery in the town! It's not that no one wants her, it's that she doesn't like those men at all. You Just wait, she will definitely find a very good man!"

"Oh, Xianshu, what did I mean? Didn't I kindly remind you?" Liu Mei looked like she had been wronged, and began to call out to Qu: "Besides, what exactly does your Amin want?" What kind of man? There are not many excellent men in our town. Maybe they are thinking of marrying a rich family? Let me tell you, those men from rich families are either old men or married. She is a girl from a good family, so she can't be a concubine or a second wife!"

Liu Shi spit out a mouthful of saliva with a bah sound, and if Liu Mei hadn't hid quickly, the saliva would have landed on her shoe.

"Liu Damei, don't get bored here! You are going to be someone else's concubine or stepmother! My Limin is a woman with integrity, so if you want to do it, you can be a regular wife! It's okay, I have nothing to say to you, Hurry up and go!"

Mrs. Liu waved her sleeves and drove Liu Mei away from the door.

"Hey, what are you doing, just go, you don't need to push me away! Huh!" Liu Mei snorted, twisted the box of pastries, turned her head and left, just walked a few steps, suddenly turned around and shouted Said: "Hey, I heard your daughter tell them just now, as long as you go to Daohuaxiang, you will get a [-]% discount, and I will also get a [-]% discount. When you go back, tell your daughter, why did you forget me! Fortunately, I still remember her marriage!"

"Go, go, what's the [-]% discount! I'm going to tell my aunt, I'll raise the price for you when you go, raise the price!" Mrs. Liu rolled her eyes and slammed the door shut.

Outside the door, Liu Mei's voice of cursing and unconvinced continued for a while before it stopped.

Mrs. Liu was very angry with her, if this woman only talked about her, it would be fine, but she still wanted to talk about her daughter, her sister, it's really hateful.

Liu's back was leaning against the door panel, panting heavily, and she calmed down with one hand on her chest.

Lin Yuan hid in the dark, and hurried over to help her into the house.

"Big girl, did you hear everything just now?"

Lin Yuan nodded.

"Hey, your little aunt, everyone in the village must think so." Mrs. Liu sighed, feeling sorry for her sister.

Lin Yuan knew that what she was saying was that others must think that Liu Limin refused to get married because she had a hidden disease or did something embarrassing and was already dirty, and she was afraid that it would be even worse if her in-laws found out.

But Lin Yuan didn't think so, she always felt that Liu Mei's words just now were a bit strange.Even in the dark, she could clearly see Liu Mei's expression. When she asked Liu Limin if she wanted to marry a rich family, there was a hint of expectation in her eyes, and after hearing Liu's refusal, her expression His eyes immediately turned to disappointment.

Could it be that she came to inquire about news for others?

And that other person happens to be a rich family?
"Mother, what does that Liu Mei's man do?"

Mrs. Liu frowned: "Who knows what he does, I heard that he is a long-term worker and earns a lot of money."

"Whose family's long-term worker?"

Mrs. Liu shook her head: "That's not clear. It seems that Da Meizi is living with her man now. Otherwise, she can't be so arrogant. Hmph, I haven't told them that you are a blessing." As for the owner of Manlou, if they find out, their jaws will drop in shock!"

That's right, mother, if you tell them about the tofu workshop and the school again, they won't be able to sleep tonight.Lin Yuan was secretly happy, thinking that her mother's way of speaking was really cute.

After seeing off several good sisters of the Liu family, it was getting late, and Lin Yuan and the others began to pack up and prepare to return to Linjiaao.

As soon as he said that he wanted to leave, Fan's face changed immediately, and he was very reluctant.It's just that this time the object of reluctance has changed from my own daughter to my little grandson.Fan's hugging Xiao Yongyan was both kissing and painful, and the circles of his eyes turned red while talking.

Liu Limin gave her mother a disgusted look: "Mother, if you don't want to part with it, you can go with the eldest sister and the others. Anyway, their house is big, so there must be a place for you to sleep. If you leave, my ear can also Quiet and quiet."

Upon hearing this, Fan's eyes immediately turned red, and she put Xiao Yongyan into Liu's arms, twisted the little daughter's ear with one hand, and pointed at her nose with the other, and began to scold: "Stinky girl, you still don't know what to do?" Dislike your old lady, don’t you? Ah? You still want to drive me away, so I won’t leave! When you become a relative and get married, I will go live with your elder sister’s house again! Hmph, I’ve been whispering in your ears every day that you Disobedient, if I leave, you are not crazy, you!"

"Oh, mother, are you still my mother? It hurts! Yoyo, just twist it. If you twist my ear off, I won't be able to marry anymore!"

Amidst the clamor of Fan Shi and Liu Limin, Liu Shi and the others boarded the carriage and prepared to drive home.Because it was Chinese New Year, married daughters and sons-in-law were not allowed to stay overnight at their mother's house, otherwise they would definitely have to stay in Liujia Village for a longer period of time.

Before getting into the carriage, Liu Zhiyang suddenly grabbed Lin Yuan's arm and whispered a few words in her ear.

Lin Yuan was taken aback, then subconsciously glanced at Lin Jiaxin, nodded, and asked Liu Zhiyang to study hard.

Ji Dong drove the carriage very fast, there was an old bug at home, no one was at home all day, and I don't know if this old guy had a good meal, don't be lazy and don't even know how to eat, that's okay It's troublesome.

At the same time, Xia Zheng, who was far away in the capital, lived in endless boredom all the time. Since the end of the year, the General's Mansion has received invitations from various families.Either going to this house for a banquet, or going to that house for a party. In the past, he disliked such activities very much, and now he is even more impatient because he misses someone in his heart.

But there is no way, some banquets can be rejected, so they will be rejected, anyway, their Xia family has an unusual status in the court, as long as they are not a family that is very close on weekdays, they will generally not have any criticisms.However, there are still some banquets that cannot be rejected, such as the banquet in the Su Mansion.

Not to mention Su Chengxiang's face is not easy to refute, even Xia Zheng and Su Tianrui's brother relationship, he can't shirk it.Otherwise, Su Tianrui will definitely be nagging him all day.

Prime Minister Su can be said to be the head of civil servants in the court, and the officials at his family's banquet will naturally have no excuses for not coming.In the early morning of this day, the Su Mansion became lively, and all the people who came and went were the dignitaries in Beijing.

Su Qiuyu was sitting in the flower hall, and Yan'er beside her had already run back and forth no less than ten times.

Yan'er stomped her feet secretly, and rubbed her hands together until her palms became warm, before she covered her little cheeks that had already been red from the cold.There were not many guests coming at this time, she hid in the porch, watching the wave after wave of guests at the door, praying and complaining at the same time, let her come out to guard in such a cold day, the big maid treated her like this I'm afraid the whole capital will not be able to find a second one.

However, having said that, she dared not disobey Su Qiuyu's words at all. She had already offended the young lady when she was in Lin Jia'ao last time. After scolding, if she doesn't hug the big tree of Miss, I'm afraid that her status as a big maid will be deprived soon.

"My lord, my lord, come here quickly, the slaves are almost frozen!" Yan'er rubbed her hands and prayed in a low voice, thinking of Su Qiuyu's increasingly ugly face, she dared not go back to the flower hall to return to her life, or Wait until people come and go back.

Just as he was muttering, a lavender figure appeared at the door, Yan'er's eyes lit up, and his blood was on fire with excitement, and his body was no longer cold, and his arms, arms, and legs were all warmed up: "Oh, Second Young Master Hey, it's finally here, it's finally here! Great, I have to go back quickly, and finally I don't have to suffer from the cold!"

In the flower hall at this time, besides Su Qiuyu, there were also several young ladies from wealthy families.Looking around, it is simply a field of red willows and green flowers, all of them are like delicate flowers in spring, tender and beautiful, arousing pity.

It's just that the expressions on the faces of a few people were very strange, as if they were watching a good show.

Su Qiuyu sat quietly on the main seat, looking at the door with bright eyes, her bare hands under her wide sleeves were tightly clenched together.
