Chapter 456 It's Time to Get Engaged
Liu Ya has never met the eldest lady, but from the annual gift that the mistress gives the eldest lady every year, she knows that the mistress likes the eldest lady very much. Liu Ya smiled, "It's true, the servant will report first. At this time, the eldest lady Should be in the backyard."
Zhulan really hasn't seen Xuemei's family for several years. The twins were not yet full moon when they left, and they are both three years old now, muttering, "Should we bring all the children?"
Within a few minutes, Xuemei brought Jiang Miao and several children into the room behind Xuehan, Xuemei said tearfully, "Mother."
Xuemei was afraid that she would not be able to catch up with her mother's delivery, so she left early on purpose, but the journey was not smooth. The twins had never left home before, and they were so excited. It was cold in spring, and they caught cold on the way. They stayed in Huaizhou City for a few days. Hurry up and hurry up, my mother still gave birth. Fortunately, my mother is fine. God knows that when she entered the backyard and found out that her mother had given birth, she panicked for a moment.
Zhulan is holding the eldest daughter's hand, and she hasn't seen her for three years. Xuemei has also changed a lot and matured a lot. In Zhulan's eyes, Xuemei used to be a student who didn't graduate from college, and she was too young.
Zhulan looked at her grandson and granddaughter. The eldest grandson did not come in. Jiang Du was seven years old this year. He was a young adult. The delivery room was not suitable for entering. Zhulan pulled the six-year-old Jiang Du. When she left, the little guy had not had much hair yet. Long, now I can wear jewelry.
Finally, there are three-year-old twins. These two children really look alike.
Seeing her mother looking at the children, Xuemei smiled and said, "Look at me, aren't you arguing for grandma? If you see her now, why don't you call her?"
Jiang Miao blinked, still remembering, "Grandma."
Zhulan touched Miu Miu's hand, "Do you miss grandma?"
"Think about it."
She didn't lie. In her memory, grandma gave her delicious food and taught her to read from.
The twins stepped forward and tilted their heads, the fatter one said, "Grandma, I'm Jiang Ping, and I'm brother."
The thinner one said, "I am Jiang An and I am the younger brother."
After Zhulan heard the name, Xuemei and her husband hoped that the twins would grow up safely. Twins are not easy to raise, so safety is the biggest expectation of their parents.
Zhulan smiled, "Okay, okay."
Seeing that her mother looked good, Xuemei felt relieved, "Mother, where's my little brother?"
"At this."
Zhulan turned her body sideways, the child was sleeping in the bed, she got up just blocked by it, hugged the still awake child and handed it to Xuemei.
Xuemei took it carefully, it was very precious for her father and mother's old age, she looked at the appearance carefully, "Little brother, president, is dedicated to the advantages of parents."
This child is not too light!
Jiang Miao also leaned forward, "Mother, is this little uncle?"
The twins thought, "Little uncle, little uncle."
Bamboo Orchid, "..."
Yes, her son was born with an older generation. When he thought of being called uncle and uncle by a group of older children when he grew up, he couldn't help laughing.
Xuemei put down her younger brother carefully, "Mother, have you named my younger brother yet?"
Zhulan was silent. Before the child was born, she and Zhou Shuren had been thinking about the name a lot. But when the child was born, she and Zhou Shuren got into trouble again. Neither of them felt good. "I'm still thinking about it."
Xuemei didn't think too much, and said along with the words: "It is true that we should think more about it."
The youngest brother is the most blessed, even the younger sister, who has been a village girl for a few years, the younger brother was born as the magistrate, and when the younger brother grows up, the father's grade will be higher , the status of the younger brother is even higher.
Xuemei looked at her younger brother and thought of Changzhi, "Mother, we went to find Changzhi when we came. Changzhi went on a study tour with Master, so he didn't come back with us."
Bamboo Orchid, "..."
She was not disappointed, really, it's strange that this kid can stay at home honestly.
Xuemei felt that the younger brother was uncertain, and the younger brother was not young anymore, "Mother, the younger brother is sixteen this year and he is not young anymore, should you make an engagement for him, so that he can stay at home with peace of mind."
She felt that the little brother should be taken care of by someone.
Zhulan, "I want to betroth him, but it's not suitable."
Xuemei thought of her younger brother's temperament,
Sympathy for future siblings.
While talking, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Dong knew that the news was coming. Mrs. Li lowered her voice for fear of waking up the child, "Big sister."
Dong, "Sister."
Xuemei was stunned for a moment, she is the eldest daughter of her father, and she will receive great gifts from her natal family every year and festival, she is very famous in her hometown, whether it is the merchants' wives in the county town or the government wives, there are not many of them. Comparable to Lee's.
Xuemei lamented that the environment can really change a person, but on second thought, mother can teach others, sister-in-law's temper can be taught.
Xuemei stood up, "Sister-in-law, siblings."
Then let a few children call people.
Mrs. Li now has a headache when she sees the boy, she is better as a girl, Wen Wen quietly took Jiang Miao's hand, "I haven't seen you for a few years, Miao Miao is getting more and more beautiful."
With that said, Mrs. Li took out the prepared jade pendant from her cuff and handed it to Jiang Miao, "This is from my aunt, don't dislike it."
This piece of jade pendant is the dowry she prepared for her daughter. Since last year, she will prepare some when she encounters a good one. She is not going to give birth. The eldest house only has a daughter. She naturally hopes that her daughter will be more confident.
This time when she heard that Xuemei was back, she chose a gift for a while and took the jade pendant.
As he spoke, he took out two purses and handed them to the twins who were presenting, "This is from my aunt."
The inside is silver, and the two children are still young, so it is appropriate to give silver.
Xuemei was really surprised, and her eyesight has been trained a lot. This jade pendant is worth twenty taels, and the sister-in-law gave it if she asked, "Sister-in-law, it is too precious."
Li smiled, "It's not expensive, it's rare, no, I like girls, it's not expensive."
Mrs. Li exhaled, and almost told the truth, it's not easy for the elder sister to come here, and it's not paid every year, after careful calculation, it can be regarded as the new year's money that she has made up for many years, so she is willing to do so.
Bamboo Orchid, "..."
She knew what Li Shi was thinking, and laughed in her heart, she was surprised at being so generous just now.
In the past two years, Xuemei has played Tai Chi with the officials and family members. She understood the sister-in-law's slip of the tongue in an instant, and couldn't help laughing. The sister-in-law has changed so much that she can hardly recognize it, but some things have not changed. This time Feeling more cordial, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Jiang Miao thanked his aunt with his younger brothers.
Mrs. Dong also prepared gifts. Mrs. Dong gave Jiang Miao Bu Yao. Mrs. Dong had no children and no jewelry for girls, so she could only take out the jewelry she wore when she was a teenager. Jiang Miao wanted to keep it for the future, and gave it to the twins It is also money.
Xuemei asked, "Mother, where is the second sister-in-law?"
Zhulan just remembered that Xuemei didn't know the situation when she first arrived, "Your second sister-in-law hurt her body due to dystocia, and she's confinement now, you can go and have a look later."
Xuemei saw that her mother's face was exhausted, and her mother had just given birth and needed to recover, "Mother, let me take the baby there now, and you should rest earlier."
Zhulan was indeed tired, saw Liu Ya come in and asked, "Is everything arranged?"
Liu Ya nodded, "The yard has been cleaned up, and the eldest lady's luggage has been sent there."
Zhulan hummed, and said to Xuemei: "In the past few days, if you need anything, you can find Xuehan, now Xuehan is in charge of the yard."
Xuemei said: "Mother, I remember, you should rest first."
Zhulan waited for Xuemei to take the child out, and said to Mrs. Song: "Go to my room, there is a set of gold jewelry inlaid with rubies for the eldest lady, and let Steward Ding go to the jewelry store to order four pieces of jade pendants. .”
Xuemei came suddenly and didn't report in advance, and she didn't even have time to prepare a gift. Just now when the child was present, she was thinking about what to give!
