Chapter 287 Seeing each other
...
"Stay for lunch at noon." A round-faced woman with fair skin grabbed Qin Luoxia's hand and said sincerely.
Mrs. Dong is a naive person. She
still likes to read picture books at such an old age.
She likes to read about heroines who are chivalrous and righteous.
As a result, she was shocked at the first sight of Qin Luoxia who came to her house.
Isn't this a heroine?
She looks at people with stars in her eyes.
And Mrs. Jiang's every move is exactly the same as the heroine in her mind.
Hairstyle, clothes, shoes, wow, everything is the same.
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, she would have dragged her daughter to kowtow together.
I heard about it from my husband last night.
My husband said that he has found a good in-law for me, and this time it is guaranteed to be stable.
Minister Dong felt that Meng Qingshe would definitely not lie. Meng Qingshe was a person who spoke her mind and would scold directly if something was not right. There was no need to exaggerate.
Moreover, Meng Qingshe's son Meng Shaoxia had been able to live in his father-in-law's house for so many years without a single complaint, and only said good things about him, which showed his character.
Either he had a flawless character, or he was super good at being a person and super hypocritical, so that people would not feel uncomfortable.
No matter which one it was, it was enough for his daughter.
Meng Shaoxia was smart, and he could be considered a top young talent in the younger generation, but he did not feel uncomfortable. With his daughter's casual personality, she would not live a bad life.
After considering all aspects, Dong Shangshu thought it was a good idea to cut the Gordian knot quickly, otherwise by the time those old hands in the capital reacted, it would not be his daughter's turn.
The next day, Dong Shangshu had to go to work.
Mrs. Dong received the guests at home. Her
husband said that if the other party was interested, he would come to her house.
Mrs. Dong asked the servants to clean up the house. In fact, there was no need to do anything special to clean up the house every day.
Dong Shangshu's house was in the east of the city. He was a minister, very honest, and his house was very small. There was nothing... That was impossible.
It was impossible for an official to not eat or drink.
Dong Shangshu's house was equipped with the Shangshu Mansion.
Although the salary is not high, there will be various other additional bonus incomes. The emperor is very generous to the ministers he likes. He rewards money, land, houses, gems, and titles...
Mrs. Dong has a son and a daughter. The son works in the Ministry of Industry like Mr. Dong.
The son is taught science and likes to hang out in the technical department of the Ministry of Industry. He
is not a material for being an official, but he is good at technology. The
daughter is waiting to get married at home.
Mrs. Dong is a little nervous about entertaining guests, but fortunately she has an old nanny by her side. When a wealthy family meets, there will generally be no intense actions. She just needs to follow the nanny's instructions.
And she has been trained for so many years.
But everything exploded when she met Mrs. Jiang Qin in person, "bang!"
Madam Dong didn't understand how someone could be born with a chivalrous demeanor. She was so beautiful, every bit of her was a scar on her heart.
The two maids looked at each other and turned away.
Madam Dong admired the chivalrous woman for a long time. After the maid reminded her, she remembered to ask the lady to come out to meet the guests.
Let's kowtow together!
Worried that the lady would rebel, she didn't say who it was.
But the lady was very enthusiastic when she saw Madam Jiang. She
was worthy of being her own lady. They might have read the same kind of picture books.
Dong E's big eyes were sparkling, and her two dimples made her look smiling and festive.
Qin Luoxia's heart fell when she saw the lady and she liked her all of a sudden.
Nowadays, although marriage is a matter of good between two families, it is better to have a chance to meet the child in person.
Although it is said that one should not believe in rumors or spread them, there are people saying that Miss Dong is spoiled, that she has a bad personality, that she is very jealous, and so on. In
short, when it comes to breaking off an engagement, it is all the fault of the woman. Qin Luoxia knew that her husband asked her to come to his house, either to curry favor with him or to let her see what the girl is like. For Feng Ge'er, he couldn't just look at a strange girl.
They don't care about family background, they just want someone who can make a living.
That's what Yin Gu said as well.
The gift is not too heavy or too light. If you are satisfied, you can make a deal. If you are not satisfied, just treat it as a visit to build relationships. It doesn't matter.
Anyway, there was no big fanfare.
Qin Luoxia wanted to stay and see more, so she shamelessly agreed to have a meal together.
Eating can actually show a person's upbringing.
During the meal, Dong E was not very good at serving others. She looked like a spoiled child, but she was very well-behaved when eating. When Mrs. Dong picked up some dishes for her, if she didn't like them, she would just frown and eat them to avoid wasting them .
Then she picked up several pieces of her favorite ribs and gave them to Qin Luoxia.
"Aunt, this is delicious, this is delicious, and this is delicious."
She likes to share.
She loves to laugh.
When she eats something delicious, her smile is sweet.
When she eats something unpalatable, she frowns slightly, but soon, when she eats something delicious again, she can't help laughing again. After
a meal, Qin Luoxia liked this girl even more. She
is a bit like Sister Yu, both of them love to eat, but to be fair, she is much more likable than her own Sister Yu. Sister Yu speaks a little harshly and is always very direct and sharp. If it weren't for the good relatives, she wouldn't feel at ease when Sister Yu gets married.
Dong E is simple-minded, like Yu Jie'er, but her words are sweet as honey.
She is lively, chattering, and talking non-stop. She
is also not restrained.
Qin Luoxia is very satisfied.
When she left, she took off the jade bracelet on her hand and put it on the little girl's hand.
It was originally prepared for the little girl, but Qin Luoxia herself did not like this. She couldn't use the jade bracelet to hit someone at a critical moment, which would be a waste.
If you are satisfied, give it to the other party. If you are not satisfied, just keep wearing it.
The girl did not refuse and accepted it happily.
Mrs. Dong was the wife of a minister after all. When she saw the bracelet, she saw its quality and felt that it was very valuable, one in a million, like sheep fat, and smooth and oily. It was a bracelet that her family thought was valuable. This bracelet might be enough to buy a house in the capital.
Her husband said that the other party had a family background, but she did not quite believe it. She thought that at most she could give more dowry. But looking at this bracelet, she felt that her husband was right. After seeing
Mrs. Jiang off,
she saw the girl holding her hand up to the sun, looking at the bracelet, happy and carefree.
Mrs. Dong asked cautiously: "Do you know why Mrs. Jiang gave you the bracelet?"
"Yes, my aunt likes me. Mother, I'll go see if my wedding dress is embroidered, otherwise it will be too late."
The girl jumped and swung her arms to go back to embroider the wedding dress.
Mrs. Dong was confused. Did the girl understand or not? ?
She turned to ask the nanny: "Mammy, do you think I can wear one of Mrs. Jiang's clothes and boots?"
The nanny shook her head tactfully: "The dress that Mrs. Jiang wears requires a little height. You have to be tall to wear it well."
Mrs. Dong rolled her eyes at the nanny, are you saying I'm short?
Soon, Mrs. Dong became excited again: "Mrs. Jiang is so tall. If the graceful daughters of the future are to be that tall, they can dress like this, the most chivalrous woman in the world! Wow!"
The nanny looked up at the sky: ...
