Chapter 72 Meet Li Wan for the first time!
Chapter 72 Meeting Li Wan for the first time!
The day after their wedding, Jia Zhu and Li Wan came to Rongqing Hall to visit the old lady and serve tea for the first time. This was the first time Jia Lian met Li Wan.
Maybe Jia Lian's vision is really superficial. He really didn't see any quiet and indifferent temperament in Li Wan. Maybe it's because he hasn't developed it at this time?
However, as far as appearance is concerned, even Jia Lian, who was forcibly raised to a certain level by various retouching masters in his previous life, has to admit that Li Wan's appearance may not be called stunning, but it is indeed above the standard.
Coupled with the magnanimous demeanor of a well-known lady whose background is hard to find, Li Wan is indeed a rare "intellectual" beauty, at least more than enough to match Jia Zhu!
Li Wan, a first-time wife, is wearing a light blue skirt today, her hair is tied up at the temples, and she is wearing an enamel walking stick with a chrysanthemum pattern. She has a little powder on her pretty face, a slightly shy look, and a rosy complexion.
There is also a hint of paleness that is about to break the melon, and a charm that I feel pity for is fascinating.
Li Wan followed Jia Zhu into the Rongqing Hall, and offered tea and greetings to the old lady and Mrs. Wang in turn. The old lady behaved very gently, smiling and asked people to help Li Wan up, holding her hand and joking for a while before giving her a gift.
Hand jewelry as a meeting gift.
Wang didn't know what her state of mind was, but she just said a faint "Yeah!", took the tea from her daughter-in-law's hand, took a sip, and let her get up. But she didn't give her a good look...
Jia Zhu was obviously very helpless towards her mother, so she had no choice but to lead Li Wan to Mrs. Xing to greet her.
Then it was time to go to Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu and the four sisters. When they arrived, Li Wan's expression finally became much more relaxed.
Li Wan came close to Jia Lian, covered his chest with his hands, bent his knees with his light body, and performed a dignified and elegant Wanfu salute.
"I am Jia Li, and I have met my uncle!"
Seeing Li Wan's elegant behavior, Jia Lian quickly stood up and started talking back and forth.
"Sister-in-law is so polite. In addition to taking care of my brother Zhu, from now on, please ask sister-in-law to take more care of the affairs in the house. Our ancestors are old after all."
Mrs. Wang actually turned her face away from her daughter-in-law like a convulsion. Regardless of whether she had a show of power or something else, it didn't stop Jia Lian from trying to win over Li Wan.
Because even if Jia Lian doesn't say these words, the old lady who has become more and more greedy for pleasure in recent years will definitely do so in the future. Of course, Jia Lian, the highest-ranking person in the Rongguo Mansion, said these words to Li Wan, which has a different meaning.
Ordinary.
Sure enough, as soon as Jia Lian said these words, the expressions of the three people over there changed immediately. Wang and Xing both looked unhappy. On the contrary, the old lady's smile became more kind...
After Jia Lian smiled and said the words that made several elders in Rongqing Hall look pale, he stretched his hand to the side. Zhiyu, who had been waiting for him, quickly picked up the long wooden box in his arms and handed it to Jia Lian.
"When we first meet, let me give my sister-in-law a flower."
After saying that, Jia Lian opened the wooden box in his hand, and in an instant, a faint fragrance like orchid and musk suddenly appeared out of thin air, lingering in the nostrils of everyone in the Rongqing Hall, making people feel refreshed.
I saw Jia Lian taking out a fresh branch more than half a meter long from the wooden box. There was no green leaf on the branch, but seven or eight delicate flowers that were white and pink, like apricot blossoms!
When Yuanchun and Yingchun on the side saw each other, their eyes couldn't help but shine, and they shouted in unison: "It's Yongfanghua!"
Jia Lian had received a total of six of these beautiful flowers from the elves in the "Game World" before. Yuanchun and Yingchun each received one on their fifth birthday. Two of the other four were given to Aunt Shu and Aunt Lixiu respectively, and they were also given to Aunt Shu and Lixiu.
On Jia Min's birthday the year before last, Jia Lian sent a legion of his bodyguards to Jiangnan.
The last one is with Jia Lian's "pen pal" Qin Keqing.
The one given to Li Wan in front of me is the seventh one!
"Sister-in-law, this flower was cultivated by a friend of mine and has no other use. However, if you find a vase and grow it with water from rivers, streams and lakes, and change the water every three days, the flowering period will last for thirty years!
Each of the sisters has one flower, and they named this flower Yongfang Flower! Sister-in-law, you don’t have to worry about Brother Pig being jealous, just keep it and play with it.”
"I...I haven't yet..."
Just as Li Wan took the apricot branch with joy, a soft voice suddenly sounded from behind him, making Jia Lian look embarrassed.
Looking back, it turned out to be Tanchun, the little troublemaker. Jia Lian pinched her chubby face angrily.
"I got it, you little debt collector! How many times have you promised my second brother that you would wait until his fifth birthday before accepting this birthday gift!
You see how well-behaved Sister Xichun is, she never tries to undermine my second brother like you do."
"Hehehe~ Aren't I afraid that you, second brother, will forget?"
In fact, the main reason why I don't send a flower to Tanchun now is that Tanchun's mother-in-law, Aunt Zhao, is too disgusting.
If such a strange treasure were given to Tanchun, who was only three years old, she would probably be taken away by Aunt Zhao in a few days!
Li Wan looked at the two brothers and sisters playing in front of him and hesitated for a moment, but still did not say anything about giving the flower in his hand to Tan Chun.
She turned around and glanced at her husband Jia Zhu, who indeed smiled at her and shook his head slightly.
"Just keep it, Brother Lian is not someone else."
He knew that his relationship with Jia Lian was relatively weak, but he believed that he had no conflict with Jia Lian. He was indeed influenced by his mother Wang before, and later it gradually formed a habit.
However, after he was admitted as a scholar, Wang's supervision of him was no longer so strict. He began to get in touch with information from the outside world, and gradually came to know the importance of Jia Lian as a "first-class military general", and he had some doubts about his mother's previous actions.
, now after careful consideration, I am naturally happy for my wife to have a good relationship with Jia Lian.
As for Jia Lian giving his wife a rare flower?
He is just a child!
…
"Second brother, you are so cunning. You actually prepared a gift for your sister-in-law by yourself without telling us!"
Yuan Chun suddenly thought of something and accused Jia Lian angrily.
"Hey! You little girl, do you want to compete with your second brother?
Your second brother, I am the lord of the palace, and I am different from you. Not only my sister-in-law, but also my second brother will have to prepare a meeting gift for Baoyu’s wife and your husbands in the future!"
"Oh~ That's right! I thought you just wanted to stand out alone."
"..."
"Hahaha…"
Yuanchun's words immediately caused everyone in Rongqing Hall to laugh.
…
In this way, Li Wan initially integrated into the life of Rongguo Mansion. Three days later, Jia Zhu accompanied her back home.
A few days later, Jia Lian heard that Li Wan was often told by Wang to stand in line when he was in Rongxi Hall, so he went to the old lady to whisper.
On the same day, word came out in Rongqing Hall: The old lady liked her eldest grandson-in-law very much and asked Li Wan to serve her three meals a day. Moreover, the Wang family had been paying homage to Buddha for many years and was tired of secular affairs.
Leave part of it to Li Wan!
…
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but it seems that two chapters are published separately every day, and the data increase is slightly larger!
But I really didn’t mean it, I just didn’t save it!
Chapter completed!
