Otoharu

Chapter 254

He Liushi didn't expect her son to still not change her mind after she had said so much. She couldn't help shaking the hand holding the teacup, and the tea inside splashed out and wet her skirt.But she can't care about that now.

"Zheng'er, have you really thought it through? This is a matter that affects your whole life." He Liushi tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and asked word by word.

"Mother, I've thought it through." He Zheng looked at He Liushi firmly, and gave an affirmative answer again.

Mrs. He Liu didn't speak, and there was a ruthless look in his eyes, but when he looked up again, there was still a gentle smile like a loving mother in his eyes, "Well, wait for your mother to prepare, and I will go to your third uncle Xin in a few days If they are willing, let the matchmaker go over and propose marriage to you."

He Zheng was overjoyed when he heard the words, stood up abruptly, walked back and forth a few steps at a loss, then looked at He Liushi ecstatically and said: "Mother, you are really the best mother in the world, wait for me If you pass the exam and become an official, you must be filial to you, so that you can be appointed as an imperial edict in a glorious manner."

"Okay, mother doesn't expect to be ordered, mother just wants you to be well." He Liu looked at his son with a complicated expression, and said silently in his heart: son, don't blame mother, everything mother does is for your own good .

The things that happened in the patriarch's house are naturally unknown to others.Li Meier went to Mrs. Zhengu's place the next day, and heard that Li Mengdan would not come to study at Mrs. Zhengu's place because of her impending death.

Li Meier is as fine as a human being, how could she not have imagined that Li Mengdan's sudden absence from school was related to what happened yesterday.She didn't care if Li Mengdan couldn't come, anyway, she didn't have much friendship with Li Mengdan.

Li Yuanxia was very happy. When she saw Li Meier, she whispered to her, "Sure enough, as you said, Mrs. Zhengu still has back-hands. I guess Mrs. Zhen saw through her trick and prevented her from continuing to study here." gone."

"From now on, there will only be three of us, and this day will be clean." Li Yuanxia has never felt that the air in Mrs. Zhengu's place is so fresh, and she promises that she will never tire of studying in the future.

Li Meier glanced at Li Yuanchun on the other side, and seeing that she didn't look too happy, she asked again: "Miss Yuanchun, is she okay, I think she is still not in a good mood."

"Isn't it because of He Zheng!" Li Yuanxia pouted and said, "When my sister and I went home yesterday, we met him at the gate again, and I don't know if he stayed there on purpose, what a coincidence !"

"Did he talk to you?" Li Meier asked curiously.

"That's not true. I don't think he dares, but he is always hanging around my sister like a fly, and it's annoying. Recently, some bad rumors about my sister have spread!" Li Yuanxia was angry. said.

It's really annoying, but He Zheng himself has nothing to do with it. As a young talent, he can at most let others say that he is young and romantic, but Li Yuanchun is a woman, and reputation is the most important thing. There are no good people who dare to come to propose marriage.

"Didn't you tell Li Ang, tell him not to take He Zheng home again, isn't he hurting his aunt!" Li Meier was also a little dissatisfied with Li Ang, thinking that he was like a pimp.

"Oh, why didn't I say it, but Ang Ge'er, that stupid boy, always said that we were thinking too much, that he used to bring his classmates from the ethnology school to our house, and he didn't see anything wrong. It's in the front yard, and I've never taken a step to the back yard, and I haven't even met my sisters at home, so how can something happen." Li Yuanxia replied very depressed.

"How can this be the same? The classmates in the ethnology are all of our same clan, and they are all brothers, so it's no big deal, but He Zheng is a man with a different surname!" Li Meier said with a frown, thinking that this kid Li Ang might be out of his mind It's gone, why can't I understand this bit of common sense.

"Who says it's not? I've already told my mother about it. It's useless for us to tell him. We can only let my mother do the work." Li Yuanxia echoed angrily.

The two of them were whispering on one side, while Mrs. Zhengu had already arrived on the other side, they could only temporarily end their conversation and concentrate on class.

Mrs. Zhen still gave them lessons as usual, and did not specifically mention Li Mengdan. After checking their homework yesterday, she explained the Analects to them.

After the class in the morning, Li Yuanxia invited Li Meier to her house for dinner, "Yesterday Daddy brought back half a cow from the state capital. I heard that it was a calf accidentally dropped to death. The meat is so tender. I specially asked Mother to save some tenderloin. Meat, let's roast it for lunch today, I know you are good at cooking, so you can't refuse."

Because cattle were the main productive force in ancient times, slaughtering cattle was generally illegal. Only cattle that died of illness or accidents could be slaughtered for meat.Therefore, Li Meier seldom eats beef on weekdays. Even if beef is occasionally sold in the market, Mrs. Li will not buy it because it is too expensive. According to her old man, why bother to eat the old cow that died of illness? If it is not fresh, it is better to eat a few catties of mutton.

Of course Li Meier also likes to eat mutton, but she also likes beef, especially the stewed rotten beef brisket, put some dogwood, it is spicy, fragrant and delicious, but it is rare to eat this kind of delicacy once.

Li Yuanxia graciously invited her to eat beef, Li Meier naturally readily agreed, and asked someone to bring a message home, and happily went to her house with Li Yuanxia.Thinking that she must show her skills for a while, she has studied many barbecue techniques over the years, and now barbecue is considered a masterpiece.

As soon as they entered the house, they heard that there were visitors at home today, and Mrs. Wu was receiving guests.

"Uncle Yi, who's here?" Li Yuanxia asked curiously. The visitors to her house were usually relatives and friends, and most of them she knew.

"It's Aunt Lian from the patriarch's family." Li Yi replied.

Li Yuanxia was at a loss when he heard this, who is this Aunt Lian?Then he looked at Li Meier who was beside him, and asked her if she knew.

Li Mei'er didn't know who this Aunt Lian was, but she knew what to focus on. When she heard about the patriarch's family, she had a flash of inspiration and asked in a low voice, "Is it He Zheng's mother?"

Suddenly, Li Yuanxia looked at his sister on the other side, and saw her frowning tightly, with a disturbed expression on her face.

"Let's go back to the room first." Li Mei'er was quite calm, she grabbed the Li sisters and walked towards the backyard.

On the way back, Li Yuanxia was still very apprehensive, and asked, "Then He Zheng's mother came to our house to propose marriage..."

Li Meier shook her head, and analyzed rationally: "I don't think so, didn't you hear what Sister Dan said, He Zheng's mother didn't even agree to the marriage of the patriarch's family, she must be thinking of climbing high, how could she change suddenly? I've made up my mind, I'm going to your house to propose marriage."
