The next day, Xue opened her eyes, and there was no trace of Li Hui beside her. She must have gone out to exercise.
The test will be held next year, so don’t be careless. Good physical strength is the key.
After packing up and going to Nuange, I saw Li Huai no longer there. He must have taken him out.
It's okay, boys should be stronger and more masculine.
Yuniang opened the door and came in with a basin in her hand.
"Madam, the master took the two young masters out early in the morning. Li Zhong drove to pick up the young master, and he will probably be back at noon."
"I know, what's going on with Mr. Pang? Are you up?"
"Get up. I went out with the master earlier, but I have just come back. Miss Pang and the second miss are with me."
Cheng Xue nodded, washed up, and went out. After walking a few steps, he turned back, opened the drawer on the left side of the dressing table, and took out a red velvet purse.
Songheyuan is to the east of the main courtyard. Far away, you can see Mr. Pang sitting in the yard, talking and laughing with his two children.
At first glance, he was in good spirits, but when he got closer, it was different. At least he didn't have the energy that he saw in Fucheng that day, and there was always a touch of sadness in his eyes.
"Mother——" Li Tian saw her with sharp eyes and ran over in a few steps.
Cheng Xue smiled and touched the top of her hair and said:
"Go and see if breakfast is ready beforehand. Your father likes to eat water noodles. Tell Bai Shao about it."
"Okay."
Li Tian skipped out and ran out. Cheng Xue sat next to Pang Yao.
"Did you sleep well last night? Are you used to it?"
"Very good." Mr. Pang nodded with a smile, "I just went out with Huizi and walked around your village. I heard that you planted those fruit trees? The road was also paved by you two?"
"Yes. Paving the road is to make it convenient for others and ourselves. As for the fruit saplings, I am not white. If they bear fruit in the future, the workshop can pickle them in sugar water, and we can continue to grow them."
"Yes, it's good to have the responsibility of my boss. Yaoyao has grown a lot in the past few months since you were here. No wonder Tiedan said that you are the best mother in the world. It's true."
Seeing him mention Li Heng, Cheng Xue immediately understood what he was implying.
He took out his red velvet purse, offered it with both hands and said:
"Huizi has already shown you the reply letter from this junior. This is the zodiac pendant that Tiedan has been wearing. I tied it again and now give it to you."
The old man didn't answer the words, but stared at her for a moment and asked:
"Have you decided? You have to think clearly. Once the marriage is decided, unless Yaoyao disagrees, your family has no right to cancel the marriage."
"Of course." Cheng Xue nodded without hesitation.
Cancel the engagement? Give back a ball of yarn!
Originally, she was also worried that Li Heng was acting on a whim, but yesterday when her son came back, he went to see Pang Yao. Li Tian was disgusted, so how could he break off the engagement?
Pang Yao lowered her head and fiddled with her clothes. She looked like she didn't understand, but in fact the two adults had seen through it.
The baby has kissed me until today, and it’s considered a decision.
Mr. Pang took his granddaughter's hand, handed it to Cheng Xue, and said:
"I must have mentioned it to you when Mother Ma came here. My son...well, it's okay not to mention it. So I will remind you again today that if the child is not even haircut when I close my eyes in the future, please make sure that you and Huizi
Persist and don’t withdraw from the engagement.”
Cheng Xue nodded heavily, held Pang Yao's hand tightly, and promised——
"Don't worry, Tiedan's wife will never change, and every man in the Li family only has one woman in his back house."
Seeing that she didn't ask any questions, Mr. Pang nodded with satisfaction and took off a red pendant from his granddaughter's neck.
"This is a gift from me. I have given it to Yaoyao since she was born. Now I leave it to you. If someone stops you in the future, and you and your wife are not able to handle it, just take the pendant to the imperial court."
Ah? Does the emperor still care about this matter?
Although Cheng Xue was shocked, she still took it with both hands. Looking at the red pendant, could it be the legendary blood jade? But the blood jade on TV is slightly pink, not so red!
The tentacles are warm, what a good thing!
"Don't worry, Mr. Pang, even if we verbally agree today that the big engagement ceremony will be held for Yaoyao and Ji, the Li family will definitely come to your door."
Mr. Pang stroked his beard with satisfaction and looked pleased.
According to Liang Yan's rules, the man and woman are not allowed to meet each other after they are engaged. Now that the two families have made the decision verbally, no one else knows how the children should get along with each other, and it will not be affected. Now he doesn't want much, he just wants to be able to support his granddaughter to get married.
Even if it is successful, if it cannot survive... we can only place our hope on the Li family and the Guan family.
"Mr. Pang, can I check your pulse, okay?"
"Okay."
Mr. Pang handed over his hand readily, which made Cheng Xue a little confused. She thought she had to refuse, but unexpectedly she cooperated.
"You have taken medicine, right?"
Mr. Pang nodded, took back his hand and said:
"The imperial doctor was afraid that I might be sick, so he stayed by my side to take care of me. He only returned to Beijing two days ago."
No wonder.
Cheng Xue knew that their grandparents still had something to say, so she stood up, held the pendant, and left.
After leaving Songheyuan, Li Hui and his son just returned. Cheng Xue called Li Heng over and hung the pendant she just got directly around his neck.
"Is it heavy?"
Facing his mother's question, Li Heng nodded without thinking.
"Don't worry, mom, my child will study hard, practice martial arts, and bear this weight."
"Okay, it's your choice, and my mother supports it."
Li Hui handed his arms to Li Heng and asked him to take his brother to take a bath and change clothes. He walked to Cheng Xue, put his arm around her shoulders and walked towards the main courtyard.
The two of them entered the room without saying a word. The moment they closed the door, Cheng Xue hugged his waist to calm down.
From the moment Li Heng nodded, she wanted to do this. The child was still young, so logically she shouldn't have to bear this burden, but she felt relieved because the child was sensible.
Li Hui enjoyed her dependence with satisfaction, caressed his back twice and said:
"Pang Yao's father was an upright official, and he was dedicated to the interests of the people. He was a good official. Maybe the problem was that he was a good official, and his mind was devoted to managing government affairs, so he neglected to manage the back house. Mrs. Pang suddenly suddenly
Died..."
"Hey, the old lady passed away. As a son, shouldn't he return to his hometown Dingyou?"
It’s all said this way on TV and in history books.
Li Hui pinched her cheek gently, leaned to her ear, and whispered:
"Forgot? This is Liang Yan. It's different from what we learned in books or watched on TV. There is no Ding You here. We stayed at the house where Pang Yao's father was appointed for a few days, and our iron man noticed that Pang Yao
Yao was bullied, but she couldn't be more talented. When brother Xin came back to take the college examination, he led the girl back. It was he who went to find Mr. Pang Meng, and I didn't even know."
Ouch, this is unexpected.
"Now that the things that Mr. Pang is worried about are settled, I think he can relax a little bit."
"You find an opportunity to pass on the message and let the old man stay with us. He even cares about children, so it's just right..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Hui shook his head and pulled the person into his arms.
I have children and relatives, so how could I live with someone else? He was the one who forced me to stay before the exam, and of course the old man wanted to stay.
