Yun Qiao and Xi Lanting are going out to see the old lady.
Although she kept encouraging herself, Yun Qiao still felt a little unsure deep down.
Before going out, she came back and picked up a pot of hollyhocks: "Giving this pot to the old lady is a good idea."
Xi Lanting took it off: "They said they would give it to me, but they gave it to the old lady instead. Yun Qiao, are you thinking that I have a good temper?"
Yun Qiao made a face at him: "You said it's okay to have a girlfriend."
"I never said that." Xi Lanting put down the flower, "You can take anything from me, but you can't transfer it to anyone else. Do you understand? I can only give it to you."
Yun Qiao: "..."
How is it so sweet?
She is being controlled by Uncle Qi, is she still addicted?
Along the way to Xi Mansion, there are weeping willows and beautiful flowers. The ridges of the houses are decorated with carved beams and painted beams. Everywhere is carefully pruned, and the bluestone paths are swept clean. It only rained at noon, but there is no accumulation of water on the paths.
Xi Lanting has been holding Yun Qiao's hand.
A servant passed by and was very surprised when he saw this, and they looked at each other.
It was unusual for Master Qi to appear in the hospital, and it was even more unusual for him to hold Yun Qiao's hand.
By the time the two of them reached the old lady's side, the news had already spread to a small area.
The old lady was going to take an hour's nap in the afternoon. She just woke up and was feeling exhausted. During the rainy season, she was also very heavy and very unhappy.
Seeing Xi Lanting, her face showed a bit of joy: "When did you come back?"
"I just came back not long ago," Xi Lanting said.
The old lady saw Yun Qiao and wanted to ask her why she was here, but belatedly discovered that the two were holding hands.
She couldn't help but smile all over her face: "As soon as I got back, I brought Yun Qiao over to see my mother. It's better for you to be filial."
Xi Lanting hummed: "If nothing else happens, I will get married in May next year. There is no need to prepare anything at home. After I get married, Yun Qiao and I will live in my yard."
Yun Qiao was a little surprised.
Don’t you want to move out when you get married?
According to Uncle Qi's temper, he is very impatient to deal with people from the Xi family. He has the conditions and money. If the Xi family doesn't restrict him, he can move out.
Even after getting married, you won’t leave, why?
"It's good." The old lady was pleased. "You've been alone all these years, and I feel very sad for you. From now on, if you have someone to accompany you, my mother will feel at ease when she goes underground."
This is what I say from my heart.
No one understands Xi Lanting's loneliness better than the old lady. No ordinary person in this world is worthy of him.
Yun Qiao is different. This girl knows magic and is extremely beautiful. She does not belong to the category of "mortal". She is Xi Lanting's perfect match.
The old lady called the maid next to her and asked her to go to the bedroom to open the box and get the jewelry.
The maid took a sapphire ring.
"...This sapphire was hired by the Xi family when they married me. I have kept it all these years and wanted to leave it to Xiao Qi's daughter-in-law." The old lady handed the ring to Xi Lanting and asked him to hand it to Yun.
Joe.
Sapphire is inherently valuable. This sapphire is the size of a pigeon egg. In the past, only the ladies of the palace could enjoy it, not the princes and nobles.
The world has changed.
The Xi family is prominent and they can afford the best things to get a wife.
The old lady's betrothal gifts were naturally more than this. When the eldest and second eldest children got married, she also gave some. But this sapphire was the most precious, and it is even more rare nowadays.
"Take it." Xi Lanting glanced at it and handed it to Yun Qiao.
Yun Qiao held it with both hands, stood up and said to the old lady: "Thank you, old lady."
"You have to call me mother from now on." The old lady smiled.
As if to comfort Yun Qiao, she added: "Yun Qiao is ready to get married in peace, and I won't let anyone make irresponsible remarks. The fourth child has always wanted to go out to serve as an official, so let him and his family go to Peking. In this way, at home,
You won’t say unpleasant things outside the home and make things difficult for Yun Qiao.”
Yun Qiao: "..."
Do you want to think so far?
"I will arrange this. There is no rush at the moment. What you need is a good opportunity, and the matter will be resolved smoothly." Xi Lanting said.
The old lady nodded: "In that case, I won't interrupt, so as not to do things at both ends and make things self-defeating."
She left the matter to Xi Lanting.
"I came today because besides letting my mother meet Yun Qiao, I also have something else to do." Xi Lanting said.
