Chapter 134 Talk
The next day, Mrs. Ma brought her niece to the Su family.
But her children did not come, because they had already started their own families and rarely went out with her.
In the flower hall.
Mother Su looked at the quiet girl in front of her. "Sister, this is the niece you often mention, right?"
"Well, this is my eldest brother's eldest daughter from my mother's side, Wanying. Come and say hello to Madam Su." Madam Ma knew that the Su family invited her and her niece to visit them, and they wanted to see their niece and let her perform well.
I saw a girl in light green clothes walking up to Su Ma and saying, "Mrs. Su, how are you?"
"Okay, okay, this is our first meeting, and I don't have anything good to give you. You can play with this bracelet." Su Ma said as she took off a bracelet from her hand and wanted to put it on Xu Wanying's wrist. Regardless of whether this was the woman Awen met at the beach or not, when they met for the first time, the elders would usually give the younger generation a gift, and Su Ma was not stingy.
"No, no, no, madam, this is too expensive. Wanying dare not accept it." Xu Wanying was frightened by Su Ma's enthusiasm.
Because her reputation of being a bad luck to her husband had spread, even those who were close to her would look at her with some subtle eyes. It was rare for someone to be so enthusiastic on their first meeting like Su Ma. Therefore, she was a little panicked and looked at Madam Ma for help. Only after seeing Madam Ma nod did she accept Su Ma's jade bracelet.
Su Ma did not forget what the main purpose of today was. After everyone greeted each other, she arranged for Su Weixi to take Xu Wanying to the garden.
"Xixi, your aunt Ma and I have something to talk about. It's boring for you young people to stay here, why don't you take your sister Wanying to the garden to play."
"Yes, mother."
After Su Weixi stood up and bowed to the two elders, he invited Xu Wanying to go to the garden together.
"Sister, try it quickly. This is a new dessert developed in the mansion. There is also this drink called Yangzhi Ganlu. Try it and see if it suits your taste."
Arriving at the garden, Su Weixi looked at the very reserved Xu Wanying and warmly invited her to taste dessert.
"Thank you, Lord County."
Su Weixi has never been a talkative person, and has some social anxiety. If it weren't for Awen, his foster brother, he would have forced himself to chat with Xu Wanying.
"Sister, what do you usually do at home?"
"I usually do some embroidery, read books to pass the time, and occasionally cook for my family."
"Sister is so awesome."
"No way, everyone can do what I do. You are the real genius, the salt drying method is not something that ordinary people can come up with."
"I read that in a book, so it's not really my credit. Sister, please don't call me the county lady. Call me Xixi or sister, otherwise it will seem too strange."
"Yes, sister Xixi."
Su Weixi was relieved to hear that she finally stopped calling her the County Princess. Since she had the title of the County Princess, many people would not look down on her openly, but she was still not used to being called the County Princess.
Later, under Su Weixi's guidance, the two gradually talked about more topics, especially about cooking. Xu Wanying was no longer so reserved. After getting to know her, Su Weixi found that Xu Wanying was actually a very knowledgeable and talkative person.
It was only because of the rumor that she was unlucky that she became a little unhappy. But it was not because she was worried that she would not be able to get married, but because she felt that it was because of her that her parents were worried.
Maybe she felt that Su Weixi looked at her differently from others, so she gradually opened her heart and told Su Weixi a lot about herself. She even told Su Weixi that she didn't care whether she got married or not, and she wanted to be a nun, but her family didn't agree.
Su Weixi could only say a few words to comfort her, and then changed the subject again.
Just when the two were talking about how to make a thousand-layer cake, An An and Ning Ning came over holding kites, followed by A Wen.
"Sister, Brother Awen wants to take us to fly a kite. Do you want to go?"
"Sister is entertaining guests. This is Sister Xu. Come and say hello."
"Hello, Sister Xu," the two little ones greeted Xu Wanying in unison.
"Well, hello."
Xu Wanying's reply was somewhat stiff at this time, because she looked at Awen who was following the two little guys with an expression of disbelief.
Su Weixi turned to look at Awen who was not far away, with a silly smile on his face. As soon as he saw the two people, Su Weixi was sure that the Xu Wanying that Awen met that day was the Xu Wanying in front of him.
"Brother Awen, this is Sister Xu Wanying, Mrs. Ma's niece. Sister Xu, this is my sworn brother, Chen Wen." Su Weixi pretended not to know what had happened between the two and introduced them to each other.
"Mr. Chen." Xu Wanying had come back to her senses by now, and greeted Awen politely, as if she didn't know him.
"Miss Xu." Awen followed Xu Wanying's words and greeted her.
"Sister, do you want to fly a kite with us?" Ningning looked at her brothers and sisters' strange reactions and asked weakly.
"Sister, I have to entertain the guests, let's go find the maids to play together." An An had already seen that her sister was not convenient to go flying kites with them for the time being, so she pulled her sister away, and did not forget to call their brother.
After the three of them left, only Su Weixi and Xu Wanying were left in the garden, along with the servants standing not far away serving them.
"Sister Xu, Sister Xu, come back to your senses!" Su Weixi looked at Xu Wanying who was distracted and called out to her several times.
"Ah? What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just want to remind you that if you don't drink the Yangzhi Ganlu now, it will taste bad later."
"Yeah, okay." After saying that, Xu Wanying picked up the mango sago in front of her and took a sip.
After Xu Wanying hesitated for a moment, she asked, "Sister, you should know why my aunt brought me to her house today, right?"
"I know, it's just for us to get to know each other." Su Weixi smiled slyly.
"Sister." Xu Wanying knew Su Weixi was teasing her and her face immediately blushed.
"Hahahaha, sister, I won't tease you anymore. How about it? What do you think of my brother-in-law?" As she said this, Su Weixi blinked twice playfully.
"Sister." Xu Wanying's face turned even redder.
"Alright, alright. I really won't tease you this time. Please eat your dessert."
When the time was almost up, Su Weixi sent Xu Wanying to the flower hall.
On the way, I met Awen, who had been waiting at the corner for some unknown reason.
"Sister Xixi, can I have a word with Miss Xu?"
Su Weixi looked at Xu Wanying and saw her nod slightly.
Of course, the two of them couldn't go to any corner to talk, so they just stood in the corridor and talked.
Su Weixi and the maids were standing not far away and could see each other, but could not hear what was being said.
It was just a visit, so this is not considered rude.
Su Weixi didn't know what the two of them said, and finally Xu Wanying came back with red eyes. She didn't ask, but just took Xu Wanying back to the flower hall.
Su Ma and Madam Ma also knew what happened in the garden. When they saw the two people come back, they didn't say much, but the smiles on their faces deepened when they saw Xu Wanying's rosy face.
Mrs. Ma quickly said goodbye to Xu Wanying, and Su Ma and Su Weixi personally sent them to the carriage.
After dinner, Awen expressed his thoughts directly in front of the whole family.
"Godfather and mother, I want to marry Miss Xu."
Su Weixi and the other two were not surprised at the decision made by Awen, only the two little ones were a little confused.
“Hahahahahahaha, are you sure, kid?”
"Yes, godfather, I am sure."
"Okay, then let your stepmother come to propose marriage."
"Then I have to arrange the betrothal gifts as soon as possible." Su Ma was also very happy.
"Stepmother, I have accumulated some military merits with my stepfather, and I have also received many things. You can use those things as the betrothal gift."
"Look at what you said. You should keep those things for your future use. Since you call us your foster parents, we have to help you prepare the betrothal gifts."
"Your stepmother is right, no need to say more." Father Su interrupted Awen who was about to refute.
Awen was so moved that he didn't know what to say. He just knelt down and kowtowed to Su's father and mother.
In the past two years, Awen has lived with Su's father and has saved up a lot of things. At first, he would give them back to Su's mother every time he got them, but Su's mother would not take them and let him save them for himself. She only occasionally accepted some gifts he prepared for his family.
At this time, An An and Ning Ning beside them also reacted.
"Brother Awen is getting married?"
"The sister Xu I met today is going to become our sister-in-law?"
The two little guys’ words made Awen’s face turn red instantly, and the whole family burst into laughter.
