Chapter 8: The Perfect Langjun
"Back to my mother, my father is all right." Diao Xiu'er bowed, as if she didn't notice Mrs. Liu's abnormality.
But then again, in addition to feeling that the glamorous lady in front of her had a worse attitude towards her than Sister Wen Ji, Diao Xiuer really couldn't feel Mrs. Liu's resentment towards her before.
Anyway, Sister Wen Ji wants to be the main house, so she is a little worse than herself, Diao Xiu'er thinks so, but she can think about it.
Before the banquet, because Yuan Xi had just returned from other places, he sat on his mother's right side. Cai Yan sat on the left side of Mrs. Liu, and Diao Xiuer sat on the right side of Yuan Xi. Others sat casually.
During the banquet, Yuan Xi was also a little embarrassed, because his mother and Cai Yan said ten sentences, and then they remembered to say a word or two to Diao Xiu'er, Rao is in line with Diao Xiu'er, who can think of ideas, is also aggrieved.
If it goes on like this, even if it is a good sister, there will definitely be a mustard in her heart, Cai Yan has already made her position clear, so she naturally will not ask for other advantages on this, and from time to time she will pull the topic to Diao Xiuer, telling her good deeds and reputation in Luoyang.
After a few times, Mrs. Liu really changed her opinion of Diao Xiuer a lot, and she said more.
Yuan Xi let go of Diao Xiu'er's right hand and looked at Cai Yan gratefully.
Don't look at him as a child, but in front of his mother, he really doesn't dare to be presumptuous. Mrs. Liu's majesty and means are not something that her usual kindness can express.
After eating, he took the two girls back in a carriage, and Yuan Xi was completely relieved.
It's a really uncomfortable meal.
Diao Xiu'er doesn't know her status in the eyes of her mother, but Yuan Xi is very clear, and it is actually very good to be able to do this today. Fortunately, on the way, Cai Yan was also asked to be the eldest woman, otherwise something might happen when she came back.
Didn't my mother just treat Cai Yan as an eldest woman without asking anything today?
"I've wronged you." Yuan Xi grabbed Diao Xiu'er's jade hand apologetically.
Diao Xiu'er was already about to cry under Cai Yan's coaxing, but now when she heard Yuan Xi's steady voice, she couldn't stop her tears anymore, and she threw herself into his arms and sobbed softly: "Yuan Xianyi, what did I do wrong?" Why does my mother hate me? ”
"This?" Yuan Xi looked apologetic, hugged her and patted her on the back, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, it's good to meet her less in the future, my mother, I'm afraid to look at it, not to mention you, you didn't see how she treats her sister-in-law on weekdays." ”
Another thing that Yuan Tan annoys Mrs. Liu is that the daughter-in-law he married is a foreign woman, who is from the Qiang nationality, although it is under the auspices of Yuan Shao, but the two are also very affectionate.
The sister-in-law is not as soft as the Central Plains woman, and her figure is still tall, which naturally makes Mrs. Liu very unaccustomed to it, and the eldest brother Yuan Tan is an impulsive character, and from time to time he collides with his mother.
All Yuan Xi said that it was not bad for her mother to take Diao Xiu'er today, and she really didn't tell a lie.
There is comfort in comparison, and sure enough, Diao Xiu'er is a child's heart, and her big eyes flashed in his arms and said, "Mother really doesn't want to see my sister-in-law?" ”
"What's in it if I lie to you?" Yuan Xi swore and said: "We can do this today, my mother has done a good job, don't look at her kindness and kindness, she has a temper, even my father is afraid." ”
patting her on the back again, Yuan Xi said: "Anyway, except for coming back this time, I will often see it during the New Year and festivals on weekdays, and we can just be in our own house at other times." ”
Diao Xiu'er sneered, and said angrily with the pink face of the pear blossoms and rain: "What are you talking nonsense, my mother is obviously very beautiful, and you say that she is like a wolf grandmother." ”
"Grandma Wolf?" Cai Yan on one side smiled and wondered: "What is that?" ”
Diao Xiu'er got out of Yuan Xi's arms, rolled into Cai Yan's arms, hugged her willow waist, and said coquettishly: "Sister Wen Ji, I'll tell you when I go back, I have a lot of strange stories here, all of which he made up to me at the beginning, don't look at him usually serious, but there are many inexplicable things in his head." ”
Cai Yan reached out to help her wipe the tears on her face, and said with a smile: "If he doesn't give you these weird things, how can he deceive the heart of our number one beauty in Luoyang." ”
"Oh, Sister Wen Ji, you're laughing at me." Diao Xiu'er twisted her body and hummed: "At the beginning, he went directly to propose, I don't know him, and I don't know why he suddenly came to propose, it's very strange." ”
Cai Yan turned his head to look at Yuan Xi, who was seriously touching his nose, and chuckled: "Maybe I saw you on the road, fell in love at first sight, and then followed you to your house to propose." ”
Diao Xiu'er was innocent in the end, and couldn't help but say: "No, my clothes were dirty and ugly at that time, and as soon as my father led me into the door, he followed him in, and my father was stunned." ”
Cai Yan was also stunned, he really didn't know about this, he didn't expect Yuan Xi to know Diao Xiu'er so early.
"The key is that I ask him every time, but he doesn't say anything, he always pretends to be confused with me," Diao Xiu'er said angrily: "I don't know what to hide." ”
Yuan Xi said leisurely on the side: "This is called fate, although you were ugly at the time, but I liked it, so I chased it, at least you don't have to worry that I went to propose marriage because I coveted your beauty." ”
"Devils believe your nonsense." As soon as Yuan Xi said a few words, Diao Xiu'er was full of joy, and the smile between her delicate eyebrows couldn't stop: "My father said that you would meet people, and you must see that I will become a big beauty in the future, so I chased after my house." ”
"Hahaha." Yuan Xi smiled and leaned back, he liked Diao Xiu'er's simple appearance. Compared with the timid character when they first met, the current Diao Xiuer is undoubtedly more in line with the appearance of Diao Chan in Yuan Xi's heart, which he is willing to see.
Cai Yan also covered her mouth and chuckled, except for the fact that it was a big pity that her father couldn't come to Hebei with her, everything now was what she imagined, and it was also what she wanted to see.
The man in front of her, from the first time she saw him, from the time he ignored the reputation of the second son of the Yuan family and pursued herself frantically, she had actually fallen.
In terms of knowledge, he is not as good as others; In terms of family background, although his father is everyone, it only exists between the clear streams, compared with the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, no, it should be said that it cannot be compared at all.
In terms of appearance, he is the one he likes; In terms of ability, although Yuan Xi laughs and scolds a lot on weekdays, and is not serious, but the inexplicable Cai Yan just believes that Yuan Xi will be able to become what he completely imagined in the future.
When a woman meets a man she likes in every aspect, what is she not satisfied with? She waited for so many years, and finally waited for the opportunity, waiting for his decisiveness and sincerity.
