Chapter 147 The Talented Yuan Xia

A few days later, Jiang took Li Meier to Mrs. Zhengu again.

At this time, Mrs. Zhen had two female relatives sitting here, and the Jiang family recognized both of them. One was Xiao Liu, the eldest daughter-in-law of the patriarch's family, and the other was Wu, the eldest daughter-in-law of the well-known wealthy Li Xin family in the clan. .

Li Xin and Li Yan are of the same generation, Li Yan should call him third cousin, he is a man who is very good at doing business.

Mrs. Zhen was also very happy to see her mother and daughter, so she asked Mrs. Jiang to sit beside her, and said to the maid: "Qingzhi, take Mei Meier over to have some snacks with Xia Xia."

Li Meier was led to a small table beside her and sat down to eat snacks. There was already a little girl sitting on the side of the small table. She looked a little older than Li Meier, but she was rounder than Li Meier, and her eyes were covered with tears. The fat was squeezed into squinted eyes.

Seeing Li Meier approaching, she generously pushed a stack of snacks in front of her, squeezed her eyes and said, "Try this, this is the jujube walnut cake I brought from home, it's delicious."

Li Meier took a small piece of cake in her hand and asked her in a low voice, "What's your name?"

"My name is Yuan Xia, and my sister's name is Yuan Chun." The little girl replied innocently.After speaking, he stuffed a piece of pastry into his mouth.

Li Meier immediately searched in her memory, and soon remembered the identity of this girl, she should be the daughter of the richest family in the clan, Santang Bo's family.

"Why are you alone, where is your sister?" Li Meier asked again.

"My elder sister and the elder sisters of the other two patriarchs are taking exams inside. I heard from Aunt Zhen that I want to see their knowledge." Li Yuanxia said without any intention.

Only then did Li Meier suddenly realize that Mrs. Zhen had chosen these three girls as students, and she was going to learn their knowledge before teaching them.

The little chubby girl in front of her should have been stuffed in by the relationship between the three beauties, so she just happened to be her companion.

The two of them sat together and had a snack for a while, and another maid, Qingyin, led the three of them out, holding three stacked rice papers in her hand.

"They seem to have finished the exam." Li Yuanxia whispered in Li Meier's ear.

Li Meier nodded, and looked at the three girls very curiously. The leader was a girl about twelve or thirteen years old, with a beautiful appearance and a very dignified manner. One could tell that she was well-bred. Li Meier guessed that this should be the eldest grandson of the patriarch's family. The daughter, who came out behind her, was five or six points similar to hers, but younger than her, about ten years old, and should be another granddaughter of the patriarch's family.

The last girl who came out was about the same age as the previous one, she was very pretty, with almond eyes and cherry lips, and a small face with melon seeds, she could already see her good looks when she grew up.

"Is that your sister?" Li Meier pointed to the last girl and asked Li Yuanxia in a low voice.

Li Yuanxia nodded sharply, Xiaopang's face was full of complacency, "My sister is pretty."

Li Meier nodded with a dry smile, thinking that if you hadn't said it beforehand, I really can't see that you two are real sisters.

"I will definitely be as beautiful as my sister in the future!" Li Yuanxia said confidently, and had no doubt that she would become a beauty when she grew up.

Li Meier silently wished her wish come true in her heart, as long as she doesn't continue to gain weight, is there still hope?

After Li Meier sized up these people, she was about to grab another piece of pastry and continue eating, but she stretched out her hand, huh?empty?An ominous premonition immediately surged in her heart, she looked down at the table, the plate where the cakes were originally placed was empty, she suddenly looked at the little chubby girl Li Yuanxia who was sitting opposite, and saw that the other party was swallowing the last mouthful of chestnuts Cake, seeing her look, even smiled innocently at her.

Li Mei'er's expression became serious instantly, she met her opponent...

"Sister Qingzhi, the cakes are finished." Li Yuanxia didn't feel the resentment emanating from Li Meier at all, and smiled innocently at the maid Qingzhi beside her.

Qingzhi didn't seem to be surprised by her good appetite, and smiled slightly, "I'll go get some more, Sister Qingyuan made a lot of cakes today, you just open your stomachs to eat."

Li Yuanxia nodded happily, and watched Qingzhi leave with anticipation.

Li Meier felt that Li Yuanxia's appetite was really terrible, so she couldn't help asking: "Can you still eat?"

"It can be eaten." Li Yuanxia replied naturally, "Isn't it just a few plates of pastries? When I was at home, Guanweiju's dim sum could eat three packs at once!" After speaking, he made a hand gesture, very proud look.

Li Meier took a deep breath, it was amazing, Guanweiju's dim sum was about ten yuan in a package, she usually would be overwhelmed after eating a package and a half, and this girl who was not much older than her could eat her at one time twice as much!What a talent.

Li Meier was about to humbly ask her why she was so edible, but Mrs. Zhen was already calling them over there.Li Meier could only walk over with Li Yuanxia first.

Mrs. Zhen looked at the two of them with a kind smile, "You two are good children with a pure heart. I am very happy to have you talking with me these days, but you are still too young. If you start now Studying by my side is afraid that it will destroy your spirituality, so I thought, you can study with me first, and I don’t stick to you, you can learn whatever you want, and you can play with me if you don’t want to, when you are old If you're older, I'm officially teaching you stuff."

Li Meier was a bit resistant to learning things at first, but she was relieved when she heard what Mrs. Zhen said. If it was just for fun, then she could totally accept it, as long as she had time to play every day.

"Grandmother, can I still eat the snacks made by Sister Qingyuan every day?" Li Yuanxia asked with her eyes squinted, all she could think about was eating, and she had no idea about studying.

"Of course, you can let Qing Yuan cook whatever Xia Xia wants to eat for you." Mrs. Zhengu laughed, pinching Li Yuanxia's fleshy cheek and said.

Several girls around listened to Li Yuanxia's words, and they all pursed their lips and laughed. Li Yuanxia's mother, Wu Shi, even gave her little daughter a look of resentment. She felt that it was really embarrassing to have such a daughter.

"It's your luck that my aunt can accept you. Why do you want to eat all day long?"

Li Yuanxia glanced at his mother with some grievances, but dared not speak.

Mrs. Zhen smiled softly and said: "It's a blessing to be able to eat. I like Xia Xia's straightforward temperament, and she is also very good at eating. The dim sum made by Qing Yuan has been praised by the queen mother."

When everyone heard this, they were all very surprised. They actually ate the dim sum that the Empress Dowager agreed upon. What a blessing this is. Sure enough, sending their daughter to Mrs. Zhengu is the right thing to do!
