Everything happened so fast that she didn't have time to imagine Xiang Huaixin and Meng Meiqing's reactions, but the performance of the two elders was really beyond her expectations.
This made her feel a little dizzy and she didn't even know how to respond.
…
The dinner was extremely sumptuous, but at this moment, no one cared about the delicious food that usually made them salivate. All their eyes were focused on Leng You and Xiang Wentian who were sitting close together.
"Youyou, this was handed down from our ancestors by my mother-in-law and given to me personally. Now I am passing it on to you.
Wentian, put it on Youyou. "
Meng Meiqing opened a brocade box and stuffed it into Xiang Wentian's hand. The procedure should have been carried out after the meal, but he couldn't wait to take it out now.
Although he was excited, his words were very measured.
Everyone in the Xiang family knows that the ancestral precept of the Xiang family is to pass it on to the mistress of each generation. Although this is no longer popular nowadays, every member of the family knows that it still has to be passed on to the one who can support the whole family.
You know, in such a large family, the one who often plays a crucial role is not the man who shoulders the entire family responsibility, but the hostess who takes care of the backyard and internal and external relationships.
Xiang Huaixin and Meng Meiqing have three daughters-in-law.
Although the eldest daughter-in-law, Peng Xinfang, came from a prominent family, she always had a high opinion of herself. Although she also held an important position, she was somewhat rigid in interacting with others, which was the biggest disadvantage of being the mistress of the house.
The second daughter-in-law, Xu Wenshan, is a medical expert. She is kind and easy-going, but she is too soft-tempered, which is precisely the most fatal flaw when dealing with major matters.
So although these two daughters-in-law are not bad, in the eyes of Xiang Huaixin and Meng Meiqing, they are still a long way from being the mistress of the house.
Over the past many years, the two elders have been worried about this matter several times.
The two old men had some thoughts about Leng You. To be more precise, it was Meng Meiqing who had thoughts about Leng You the moment she saw him.
With just one glance, the old man was sure that Leng You was the most suitable candidate for the position of mistress of the Xiang family.
Although Leng You looks cold and aloof, and it seems difficult for people to approach her, she is actually an extremely outstanding woman with a delicate and kind mind, decisive actions, and a generous and open-minded personality, and she has a vision and courage far beyond many men.
As for such an outstanding girl, Meng Meiqing believed that among all the unmarried men in Pingdu and even among all the unmarried men she knew, only her son Xiang Wentian could match her.
However, even though she had the idea, love was, after all, a matter between two people, and it was not something she, as a mother, could decide. The most important point was that her son was several years older than Leng You, and she was afraid that he would not have that idea at all.
After realizing this situation, Meng Meiqing inevitably felt lost for a long time and expressed her regrets to Xiang Huaixin many times.
In fact, what she didn't know was that Xiang Huaixin had had this idea many years before her, but because of the special nature of his son's job, he knew that no matter which woman married him, she would have to endure various pains such as worry, fear, loneliness, etc. that most wives could not bear.
Xiang Huaixin has always treated Leng You as his own granddaughter. Even if she was his own son, he couldn't bear to see Leng You suffer like this.
But such a psychological struggle is also uncomfortable, especially every time Xiang Wentian sees Leng You realize her excellence, he feels very hurt.
