Chapter 329
Mrs. Li knew the inside story. Li Mengying's mother, Xiao Liu, had some kind of sudden illness, but she was sent to the family temple due to her lack of virtue. She was personally involved in this matter.Mrs. Liu was afraid that little Liu's scandal would spread, so she lied that she had a sudden illness and postponed the marriage between her granddaughter and Zhuang's grandson. Now it seems that Aunt Zhuang is still kept in the dark.

Mrs. Li glanced at Aunt Zhuang with some sympathy, thinking that Little Liu's daughter would not be much better, she spoke to Aunt Zhuang not so coldly, she nodded and said: "We will go there by ourselves Eat wine."

Aunt Zhuang was very happy when she heard the words, and said: "When the time comes, the whole family will have to come here, and there is no need to bring any gifts, they are all one family."

The elders were talking together, and the juniors like Li Meier naturally opened a table, chatting together while eating.

Because today is Mrs. Li's birthday, Li Meier wore a dress with gold flowers on a red background. The color is very bright, and the material is also good, and the texture is very soft. Business, there are many such good materials.

Most people might not be able to suppress this gorgeous color, but Li Meier is at a vigorous age, and because she was born with a bit of beauty, such a gorgeous color can be suppressed.Among the little girls, she is also the one who stands out.Both Zhuang Erya and Zhuang Sanya's appearance can only be described as average, seeing Li Meier's radiant appearance made her feel a little sour.

"Sister, your clothes are in a good style, which embroidery workshop did you make them in?" Zhuang Erya asked pretendingly.

Li Meier smiled back, "I didn't do it in the embroidery workshop, but I came up with patterns and asked my mother to help sew them. I will embroider some patterns myself at the end, and that's it."

"The embroidery on this dress is embroidered by my sister herself. My sister's craftsmanship is really exquisite. I don't know where I learned it from?" Wang Ru looked at the embroidery on Li Meier's cuffs in amazement, and said in admiration.

"If Elder Sister Ru likes this embroidery method, I will teach you when the time comes. It won't be difficult." Li Meier said with a smile. She learned this embroidery method from Qing Yuan. It is said that it is a lost embroidery method. It's just that there are still records in the ancient books in the palace, and Qing Yuan figured it out by herself.

"Sister Mei is really versatile. I heard that you made the novel snack at today's birthday banquet yourself. What's it called?" Erya Zhuang said again sourly.

"It's called a cake. It looks so pretty. I don't know how my sister came up with it." Zhuang Sanya also added a sentence, but the tone didn't sound like a compliment, it was sour.

"Well, speaking of it, our sisters are far behind. We have an embroiderer at home and a pastry chef who makes dim sum from all over the world. We don't have the opportunity to make these on weekdays." Zhuang Erya sighed falsely, but it was obviously showing off own family circumstances.

How could Li Mei'er not be able to tell, but she didn't bother to care about these little girls, and today was her family's banquet, so she naturally had to be more open-minded as the host, so she smiled and said: "My cousins ​​have rich families, so you don't have to do it yourself. Female red cooking skills, but I like these myself, and I have nothing to do at home on weekdays, so I cook more."

"I also like women's reds. This needle and thread is well done. I make some sachets, shoes and socks on weekdays. It won't be difficult when I want to give gifts. The needle and thread made by myself are always in my heart." Wang Ru also echoed. , blinked at Li Meier.

Zhuang Erya was raised by Li Meier, so she couldn't say anything more.

"Sister Mei'er, I sent you a post about the poetry meeting last month, why didn't you come?" Zhuang Erya suddenly thought of something else, and asked in a dissatisfied tone.

Li Meier was taken aback when she heard the words, remembering that Zhuang Erya had really posted her a post, but at that time Jiang Shanqing was busy preparing for the college entrance examination, she didn't care, so she put it aside.Thinking of it now, he immediately apologized, "Last month, my father and cousin both went to the academy. I forgot about things at home. I'm really sorry."

Seeing Li Meier's sincere apology, Zhuang Erya calmed down a little, and said, "Our poetry club also has a poetry meeting on Qixi Festival, and I will post a post for you when the time comes, so you must come."

Although Li Mei'er didn't want to go, but she couldn't do Zhuang Erya's face again and again, so she nodded reluctantly.During the banquet, Wang Ru took Li Meier to go to the bathroom together, and on the way she asked Li Meier in a low voice: "Sister Meier, don't you want to go to that poetry meeting?"

Li Meier didn't hide it from Wang Ru, and nodded with a wry smile, "I don't have any accomplishments in poetry, and it would be embarrassing to go."

Wang Ru laughed when she heard the words, "I don't know how to write poetry, but I will also go to the poetry meeting. My mother said that even if I don't write poetry, it's good to know more people. You also know that my father is the chief bookkeeper in the county government. , he has a straightforward personality, and he doesn't know how to curry favor with Shangfeng on weekdays. Although my mother has a good relationship with Shangfeng's wives, she can't always visit for nothing. The relationship between us ladies has become very important. Well, in the Haitang Poetry Club, there are basically all the ladies from high-ranking and noble families in our state capital. The highest status are naturally the girls from the Lu family and the girls from the county grandpa's family, but those two are closely related. , the Fei family has always looked up to the Lu family, so the young lady of the Lu family is still the most honorable."

Li Meier was noncommittal to what Wang Ru said. His father is just a juren now. Even if he is admitted to Jinshi in the future, there is a high probability that he will not be an official here, so there is no intersection with the Lu family, and her family is not that Clinging to a powerful family, she really doesn't need to fawn over that Miss Lu family.

Wang Ru also seemed to see her thoughts, and said with some envy: "It's better for your family, your parents love you, and you don't need to do anything for the family, my mother always asks me to spend more time with that family." The ladies of the Fei family and the Lu family are on good terms, but I really don't like them. They all have eyes on the top of their heads, and they almost think of themselves as princesses and princesses. That is, in our Yin County. If they come to the capital, where are they Dare to be so arrogant."

Li Meier looked at Wang Ru's gloomy appearance, and quickly comforted her: "Your mother loves you very much, and presumably she also hopes that you will befriend those people, so that you can be called a noble family in the future."

When Wang Ru heard Li Meier's words, her cheeks turned a little red, she feigned anger and gave her a light thump, and said angrily, "Oh, what are you talking about, I didn't think about such a long-term thing!"

"Isn't this something that will happen sooner or later? Your mother is planning ahead." Li Meier still said with a smile.
