Chapter 427
Jiang Shanqing looked at the sadness of his grandparents and grandchildren, so he thought about saying some happy things to adjust the atmosphere, then coughed and said: "Auntie, there is one more thing I want to tell you, it is about me and your Mei Mel's."

"Is it your marriage with Mei Meier?" Mrs. Zhengu seemed to have expected it, and looked at Jiang Shanqing teasingly.

Li Mei'er blushed immediately, and lowered her head, not daring to look at Mrs. Zhengu.

Jiang Shanqing was obviously thicker-skinned, still nodded as if nothing had happened, and said, "The elders in the family have already started talking about our engagement, and they want to settle the matter before going to Beijing."

Mrs. Zhen looked at the two of them very gratifiedly, she couldn't stop smiling, and said with emotion: "When I first saw you two, you were just little ones up to my thigh. Kung Fu is about to get married."

"Grandmother, it's still too early to get married. It's time to get engaged first, and my grandmother is also in a hurry. According to what I said, it's too late to get married after the marriage." Li Meier was even more ashamed by Mrs. Zhen's words, and immediately explained in a very wrong way road.

Mrs. Zhen just looked at her teasingly, but didn't speak, and stared at Li Meier until her head was almost buried in her chest.

Seeing Li Meier, Mrs. Zhen quickly dug a hole and got in, she didn't make things difficult for her anymore, she turned her head and said to the maid beside her, "Qing Yuan, go and get the pair of mandarin duck jade bracelets from my cabinet."

Qing Yuan also had a smile on her face, she responded and turned to leave.Soon, she came back with a carved mahogany box.Mrs. Zhen took the box and opened it for the two to see.

"I got this bracelet in the capital in the early years. It has been kept in the bottom of the box. It is just right to give it to you two today."

Li Meier probed to look at the bracelet in the box, it was an excellent mandarin duck and mutton fat jade bracelet.A pair of jade bracelets are as white as snow without any blemishes, and the carvings of mandarin ducks on them are also lifelike, they are extraordinary at first glance.

Li Meier immediately waved her hand and refused, "Grandmother, no need, you have already given me a lot of good jewelry, I can't accept this bracelet anyway!"

When Mrs. Zhen heard this, she was a little unhappy and said: "I am for Shanqing, not for you, why are you refusing!"

When Li Meier heard this, she immediately gave Jiang Shanqing a wink. If it was an ordinary item, it would be fine. She was really embarrassed to take such expensive jewelry.

Jiang Shanqing obviously thought the same way, opened his mouth and was about to refuse, but Mrs. Zhen took another step forward: "Shanqing, I have never given you anything before, you and Mei Meier. I grew up together, and I am really happy that you two can become a couple, this mandarin duck jade bracelet is my heart for you two, you will never let down your aunt's heart, right?"

Mrs. Zhen has already talked about this point, Jiang Shanqing couldn't refuse anymore, thought for a while and said: "Grandmother, then we will accept this bracelet, but this is a gift for our engagement, you Don’t spend any more money in the future.”

"Okay." Seeing that Jiang Shanqing had accepted it, Mrs. Zhen happily agreed, picked up a jade bracelet in the box, and handed it to him, "Come on, put it on for Mei Meier yourself."

Jiang Shanqing took the bracelet, took a peek at Li Meier, saw that she did not refuse, took her hand, and put the bracelet on her, the warm jade was reflected on Li Meier's wrist, making it impossible to tell it was Yu Geng Delicate, but those wrists are even whiter.

"It's so pretty, just wear it, don't take it off." Mrs. Zhen scrutinized it for a while, and said more and more happily, and then dragged the two of them to talk for a long time, until they had dinner together. Let them go back.

This time, Mrs. Zhengu personally sent the two of them to the door. Li Meier was still a little bit reluctant, and held her hand, unwilling to leave.

Mrs. Zhen gave her a light hug again, and then said: "Let's go, it will be late in a while, your grandmother should be worried."

"Grandmother, you have to take care of yourself. When it's cold, don't always sit in the yard and read a book. When I arrive in the capital, I will send you a letter. You must reply to me..." Li Meier babbled As I spoke, I always felt that there was still a lot to say.

"Okay! How old are you? You're just chattering like a little old lady. Your aunt and I are not children, and I can take care of myself. Besides, there are several older sisters of yours." Mrs. Zhen couldn't laugh or cry. Rubbing Li Meier's head helplessly, she said.

Li Meier's eyes couldn't help but turn red again, and she said with a choked voice, "Grandmother, it's me... I can't bear you..."

Mrs. Zhen gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Li Meier's eyes, sighed and said, "Grandmother knows, why am I willing to give up on you, Mei Meier..."

There is always a banquet in the world, and there will always be thousands of reluctance to give up. Li Meier finally has to leave. She looked at her aunt and grandmother who had been standing on the threshold waving goodbye to her from a distance, and she couldn't stop crying after all. It's been years, I don't know when we will see you again.

Unlike Li Meier's reluctance, Mrs. Li is much more open-minded. On the way back after finishing everything, Mrs. Li looked at Li Meier, whose eyes were swollen like peaches, and did not forget to relieve her, "Silly girl, it's not like we won't come back later Is it necessary to make it the same as parting from life and death? This is our hometown, our root, no matter how far we go, we will come back one day."

"You keep talking lightly, who knows when you will come back again." Li Meier said in a very depressed tone.

"As long as you want to come back, there will always be time to come back. Don't think too much about it. I am not afraid at such an old age. What are you afraid of when you are young? There will always be a chance to meet." Mrs. Li squeezed her granddaughter With a frown, I feel that the girl's film is too hypocritical.

Li Meier's disappointment was immediately overwhelmed by Li's old lady, who felt that the old lady and she were not in the same way, and they couldn't talk about going together!
After the three of them returned home, Jiang Shanqing saw that Mrs. Jiang had almost prepared everything for the engagement, so she went up the mountain non-stop, and wanted to ask Taoist Siming to help her calculate an auspicious date.He was carrying a gift from Li Meier to Daoist Siming, and in his arms was a piece of red paper with his and Li Meier's horoscope written on it.

Jiang Shanqing was ready to go up the mountain after breakfast early in the morning. Brother Kang knew that he was going to visit Siming Mountain and wanted to go with him. Seeing that he was very absent-minded in school recently, Jiang ruthlessly refused.

Brother Kang was so angry that he only ate two bowls of rice for breakfast.Ever since he knew that Brother Shanqing was going to be engaged to his sister, he didn't have much reaction to Brother Shanqing's change of brother-in-law. Anyway, he has been living in the same place, and a family is better than a family, but he doesn't need to study recently. He was very envious of the preparations for getting engaged, and he really wanted to take a few days off to go out and play.
