85 Madam Xu takes a fancy to Xiao Tingyun
Song sneered in his heart, a joke? ? If Li Yunran uses Ayun to make fun of herself, don't blame her for not giving her face!
Liu Ruomei seemed to be oblivious to Du Xiangyi's embarrassment, and continued to speak calmly to Xiao Tingyun, "Do you still remember what you said when the old man gave you the lotus?"
Xiao Tingyun thought: The lotus that Pei Yuning gave her was just a mistake for someone else.
As for her father-in-law, she had never met him, but she didn't want to tell Pei Yuning about it.
Xiao Tingyun could only recall what Pei Yuning said to him at that time. He thought for a while and said, "He said that meeting is fate, so he gave me the lotus."
"Meeting is destiny..." Liu Ruomei repeated in a low voice, "Very interesting words."
Liu Ruomei suddenly changed the subject, "I have a bracelet here, which was specially placed in front of the Buddha statue and chanted for 9981 days. I also invited a senior monk to consecrate it. It contains sandalwood, which is very beneficial for people with a weak body like you. When I met you today, I also felt that I had a connection with you. I hope you don't despise it."
"How can this be possible? It's so precious that I am unworthy of it." Xiao Tingyun shook his head to refuse.
Song was shocked. She didn't expect that Liu Ruomei would give such a valuable thing to Ayun!
But when she heard that it was good for the body, Song thought of Dean Zhang's Zhuyou technique, which might really be effective.
She continued, "Mrs. Xu, please don't be polite. How can a little girl like her deserve such a good thing?"
Old Mrs. Xiao also followed suit to persuade him, but Liu Ruomei was very persistent and even put the bracelet on Xiao Tingyun's wrist personally.
Liu Ruomei's eyes softened, "This suits you very well."
Xiao Tingyun couldn't refuse, so he had to thank her repeatedly, "Thank you for giving me such a valuable gift."
"You're welcome."
Liu Ruomei took Xiao Tingyun's hand and patted it affectionately.
Du Xiangyi accompanied her sister-in-law to the Xiao Mansion. At first, she didn't quite understand her sister-in-law's intentions and just spoke according to what she said.
However, she did notice something, that her sister-in-law was quite close to the third daughter of the Xiao family.
When I heard her say that she wanted to give something to that girl, everything became clear and the truth came to light. Could it be that she wanted Huaili to see her? ? ?
Du Xiangyi was shocked. Was there something wrong with her sister-in-law's brain? ? This girl is very pretty, there are only a few girls like her in the whole of Kyoto, and she doesn't look like an ordinary girl.
A steady personality and reasonable responses are certainly the requirements for a good mistress.
But the only point, and the most important point, is that he is weak, and Huaili is her only son.
If I marry this girl, it is possible that I will be childless in the future.
There is no way that my father-in-law would agree to marry such a granddaughter-in-law, not to mention that Xu Huaili is the most promising person in the entire Xuguo Mansion.
No matter what Du Xiangyi thought, Liu Ruomei liked Xiao Tingyun very much. It would definitely not be a mistake for a girl to marry above her station for Huaili to marry such a wife.
At least she is more suitable for Huaili than that girl Li Yunran.
Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Old Lady Xiao changed the subject and asked the girls to go back.
The rest of the matter will naturally be handled by these people.
Xiao Tingqi went out reluctantly. She could see that Xu Huaili's mother had a very good impression of Xiao Tingyun.
He snorted coldly and said sourly, "You are feeling very proud, right?"
Xiao Tingyun stroked his hair indifferently, "What's there to be proud of?"
Xiao Tingqi glared at him, "What is there to be proud of? Madam Xu likes you so much, she must have a crush on you!"
"So what? Do I have to go to thank everyone in the world who cares about me?" Xiao Tingyun had a strange perspective and deliberately misinterpreted Xiao Tingqi's meaning.
"Huh! Do you mean you have no ideas about Duke Xu's Mansion?" Xiao Tingqi asked in disbelief.
Duke Xu's Mansion is the mother's family of Concubine Shu in the palace, and they gave birth to the eldest prince. There are only two princes in the palace, so there is a great hope that the eldest prince will get married in the future. In addition, Xu Huaili himself was appointed as the General Zhenbei by His Majesty, so his future is limitless!
Even if Li Yunran and Xu Huaili have some unclear relationship, Xu Huaili has no female relatives in the backyard now. How can Xiao Tingyun look down on such a family background and character? ? ?
She even suspected that Xiao Tingyun's eyesight was not very good. Otherwise, why would he miss such a good opportunity and still make sarcastic remarks!
"Third sister has always been extremely beautiful, so she can naturally choose the best among the best. Second sister, you are too narrow-minded."
Xiao Tingxue spoke softly, as if trying to help Xiao Tingyun out of trouble.
But in fact, if you listen carefully, you will find a big problem. Beauty has never been a condition that a future mistress should value.
Besides, Xiao Tingyun wants to choose the best among the best. Xu Huaili already has the best family background in Kyoto. Isn't it just that Xiao Tingyun wants to rely on her looks to please a man by dreaming of choosing the best? ?
Xiao Tingqi wasn't that cunning, he just felt that what Xiao Tingxue said was a bit weird.
But Xiao Tingyun's face darkened. He really didn't want to play along with her. He glared at her and said coldly, "Fourth sister is still young and has just recovered from her illness. You'd better not worry too much about these things. What's so beautiful about it? Choosing the best among the best, if you don't know, you would think you are picking radishes and vegetables..."
The words were sharp and naturally unpleasant to hear, but Xiao Tingxue's face was calm and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
"Madam Xu is just visiting her elders today. What does this have to do with us? Even if it has something to do with us, it is not the time for us to comment! This is the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, not a place for ordinary women to chat about family matters. Please take care of yourself, fourth sister!" Xiao Tingyun stared at her expressionless face with some annoyance.
After saying that, she turned around and walked away, leaving Xiao Tingqi silent and not daring to speak. After she walked away, he angrily said, "What you said is really unpleasant to hear. What do you mean by choosing the best from the best?!"
"General Xu is more than a good match for Xiao Tingyun. She just has poor eyesight! You are really good at making up for her!" Xiao Tingqi scolded her sister in a bad mood.
Xiao Tingxue: ...
I really wanted to scold her! ! !
Can this person even get the point across? Can she have any brains? ? ? !
Xiao Tingxue swallowed his anger, veins on his forehead throbbing. He looked at Xiao Tingqi as if he were a fool, then turned his face away and walked away!
Unreasonable!
Xiao Tingqi was talking excitedly when she suddenly gave him a cold shoulder. He shouted unhappily, "Hey! What are you doing? You've grown wings and dared to give me a cold shoulder!"
Meixiang tried to persuade her kindly, "The fourth young lady must be upset by what the third young lady said. After all, as a girl, it's hard to be criticized in front of others..."
It's hard to say it out loud, "It's unbearable to say that a gossiper is a woman."
"Ah?" Xiao Tingqi was shocked. "Xiao Tingyun didn't say Xiao Si was a gossip just now. Did you do that on purpose?"
Mei Xiang had a complicated expression on her face. "Miss, what Miss Third said is much more unpleasant than calling her a gossipy woman."
Xiao Tingqi touched his chin and said, "Xiao Tingyun has always been a sharp-tongued person. Xiao Si just irritated her."
