Chapter 84 Despised
Dong Wan's three baptisms were very lively, Dong's family is considered a relatively wealthy family in Zhangshui Town, and Dong Liangchen is also a recruiter, and his popularity is very good, naturally many people came to congratulate.

There were a lot of people coming, and naturally many brought their children, but Li Meier's table was mostly filled with children from Dong's family and close relatives, so the atmosphere was relatively harmonious.

Among them, Li Meier can be regarded as the youngest. Generally, people as young as her would sit with her mother, but Li Meier thought that she was no longer a child, so she asked Jiang Shi to sit alone. He couldn't resist her, and seeing that Dong Qi was taking care of him, he just let her go. Anyway, there was a little maid serving at their table, so nothing should happen.

"Sister Meier, you eat this beef. My third uncle went to the countryside to buy it early in the morning. It was a two-year-old calf that fell to his death in a ditch. It's not the kind of old and sick cow. Try to see if the meat is tender." Dong Qi graciously helped Li Meier pick up a piece of beef and put it in her small bowl.

It is rare for Li Meier to eat beef. After all, cattle are used to plow the fields and cannot be slaughtered at will, so there are very few beef sold on the street.Today, I didn't expect to be able to eat it at the Xi San Banquet, so I happily tasted a piece, and it was really tender and fragrant. Seeing that Li Meier liked it, Dong Qi added several pieces to her bowl.

Li Meier didn't even have the time to talk, so she just buried her head in her meal.

"Hmph, the poor guy who hasn't eaten in eight lifetimes." Li Meier was eating deliciously when she heard a discordant voice not far away.

She froze for a moment, thinking that she had heard wrongly, she raised her head and looked in that direction, only to see a little girl about six or seven years old looking at her with a very contemptuous look.

Li Meier lost most of her appetite immediately, but she didn't bother to know the same level as a little girl, so she ignored her and continued to eat vegetables with her head down.

Li Meier ignored her, but the man didn't intend to let her go. Seeing that she was ignoring him, he raised his voice again and said, "My mother said, there must be rules when a girl's family comes out to eat, and you can't just bury your head in eating and talk to someone." It's like a starving ghost reincarnated."

Li Mei'er frowned when she heard that, except for that little girl, this table was just her own girl's house, and that girl was obviously talking about her.

Li Meier didn't know where he had offended her, she looked at her speechlessly, but she didn't intend to continue to swallow her anger.

"My mother also said that there is no reason to go back hungry after going out to eat. If we are not full and have not eaten well, I am afraid the host will feel that we have not entertained the guests well."

"That's right, Sister Mei'er, you eat hard, and I'll be happy when you finish eating all the food." Dong Qi echoed from the side, he is also considered a half-master, so he is naturally qualified to say this.

When the little girl heard Dong Qi speak, she immediately looked at him very aggrieved, her eyes were red, as if she was about to cry at any moment.

Li Meier's teeth are sore from looking at it, who is this person?Are you a relative of the Dong family?Why didn't she remember that the Dong family had such relatives.

"Sister Meier, this is cousin Ruoruo from my uncle's family. She has come to my house to play a few times, and she likes to follow my brother's ass the most." Dong Yong, who is beside Jiang Shanqing, explained to Li Meier in a low voice.

Li Meier suddenly realized that it was her, she really didn't recognize her, so she looked like this when she was a child, dark and thin, completely different from when she grew up, no wonder she couldn't recognize her.

This girl's name is Song Ruoruo, her name is like a person's, and she has always looked weak since she was a child, but she looks better now, maybe she is too young to know how to dress up, although her posture is pretentious, but her appearance is not bad normal.

When she gets older, it's really hard to describe. Maybe she feels that her dark complexion can't interpret the persona of a sickly beauty. Every time she goes out, she will put half a catty of water powder on her. Every time Li Meier sees her, she always thinks that she The gouache on the face was about to "swipe" down, looking awkward at the thief.

In fact, Li Meier didn't have much contact with her, but her aunt always wanted her to marry cousin Qi, but her uncle had already gone to the imperial capital to be an official, and it was basically impossible for her to return to Zhangshui Town. Reluctant to let her marry so far away, she politely rejected her aunt. Besides, his father was only a scholar at that time, and Mrs. Li also felt that her family and her daughter's family were too different. Dong Qi's marriage to her did not help, nor did she How optimistic about this marriage.

Not everyone is as self-aware as her family, and the Song family is a good example.

If the Song family has been living well without any accidents, it is not impossible for Song Ruoruo to marry Dong Qi. After all, there is such a relationship, and she has a grandfather who is a great success. Although it is considered high-ranking, it is not too bad.

But later, the Song family passed away unexpectedly, and Mr. Dong married a young and beautiful house-filler, so the relationship between the Song family and the Dong family weakened a lot.

Coupled with the fact that Song Ruoruo's grandfather passed away later, her father's aptitude for studying was also mediocre, and she was only a child after taking the exam for more than 30 years. The gap between her family and Dong's family became wider and wider.

But Song Ruoruo's parents didn't think so. They felt that they were relatives with Dong's family, and their daughter was beautiful, smart and virtuous, and Dong Qi was a match made in heaven, so they often went to Dong's family to get close.

At that time, the Dong family was headed by the second son, Dong Liangwei, so naturally they couldn't be the masters of Dong Liangchen and Li Qingqing, but they were bothered by their family, but after all, they were relatives of their mother, and they couldn't be chased away, so they had to hold their noses. .

During Li Meier's limited visits to Dong's house, she met this girl Song Ruoruo. At that time, she was even more eccentric towards her, wishing to stare at herself to death.However, she has always been open-minded, and she didn't want to care about this girl with some abnormal brains. She just treated her like air and never paid attention to her. Later, Li Qingqing wrote a letter to make it clear to the family that Dong Qi was already there. The imperial capital made an engagement, and this family was considered to have calmed down a bit, but in the previous life until Li Meier passed away, it was never heard that this girl had engaged that family.Maybe it's too high or low, so it's so delayed.

It turned out that Song Ruoruo had been interested in Cousin Qi since she was so young. It's just that she was young and didn't know that she had become someone else's imaginary enemy. No wonder she hated herself so much at the beginning. There are historical reasons.
