Yuan Xueqing was making a pavilion by herself. A pot of water was boiling on the small stove next to it, and it had already begun to bubble.
There was a tea set in front of her, and the tea leaves had already been put into the cup, just waiting for the water to boil.
When she saw Qiao Yuyan, she smiled and said: "It seems that Aunt Six and I are destined to be together. Just now I was thinking about which destined person would come first and drink my first cup of tea when my pot of water boils."
It was too late for Qiao Yuyan to avoid her. She invited her like this and it was unreasonable not to go.
"I heard earlier that the fourth niece-in-law has a close relationship with the Daxiangguo Temple, and it seems to be true." Qiao Yuyan also smiled, and Shi Shiran sat down opposite her, "This tea set seems to be quite well-founded. It should be
Is it old?"
Yuan Xueqing turned her eyes away from the tea sets, but said with a smile: "Tea sets are very particular, and water is even more particular. Has Aunt Six heard of the well behind the Daxiangguo Temple?
The master abbot seemed to have some treasure, for fear that these pilgrims would come and ask for it, and it was stipulated that each person could only take one pot. I am not a person with such rules, so I took advantage of the masters not paying attention and beat many over. "
Of course she knew that well. She and Wen Liang went there together to ask for the water in the well.
While Yuan Xueqing was playing with the tea set, she tried her best to look at Qiao Yuyan's expression without leaving any trace.
"Speaking of which, now that I can achieve this marriage with my husband, I have to thank Aunt Six for making it happen! It's hard to say more, so let me use this tea to drink wine and thank Aunt Six!"
Qiao Yuyan felt a little annoyed in her heart, but she still kept calm and said calmly: "How do you say this?! Although I was ordered by the old lady to go to the Yuan family to propose marriage, the credit cannot go to my head.
superior.
As elders, we naturally only hope that the younger generations will be harmonious and beautiful. The fourth niece-in-law has always had a reputation for being virtuous, and she is also the sister-in-law who has a keen eye for talents, so she has chosen you before others take action. I am just an errand boy.
"
As if Yuan Xueqing didn't see the unhappy look on Qiao Yuyan's face, she still smiled and said, "Aunt Six is always smart and knows that this is not what I am talking about."
She picked up the kettle and poured water into the tea cup with an elegant gesture. She said in a casual tone, "We are old acquaintances. There is no need to hide some things we say. My sister-in-law and I, who is now Aunt Qiao in my house, know each other.
It's been many years.
If I don't worry about you being annoyed, I knew everything about the Wen family's plan to marry the Qiao family. I also knew about Shiro's attitude towards the two girls from the Qiao family.
At that time, Shiro wanted to marry his aunt! There is no way this could be faked. If Aunt Qiao hadn't interfered with it, it would have been impossible for her to be the fourth grandma of the Wen family, and we wouldn't be able to regard her as such relatives."
Qiao Yuyan calmed down and said with a smile: "How else can we say that we are destined by fate? So it is obvious that it is you who should get married in the end, so that you and your husband can be so harmonious and beautiful, and you and Aunt Qiao can continue their sisterly relationship, right?
?”
No matter how thick-skinned Yuan Xueqing was, when she heard Qiao Yuyan say that she still loved Qiao Yuning as a sister, her face was still a little tense, and she paused while sifting tea in her hands.
Then he completed the next actions smoothly, gave Qiao Yuyan a cup of tea, and then continued: "Auntie is trying to bury me!"
"Don't worry too much," Qiao Yuyan continued to do Tai Chi with her, "I just said this in a hurry. If you feel uncomfortable, you must speak up. I don't have any sense of propriety in what I say.
The family doesn’t have to be so polite.”
When Yuan Xueqing heard this, she raised her head and met Qiao Yuyan's eyes. Seeing how serious she was, Yuan Xueqing was stunned.
"Since that's the case, I'll tell you the truth. As my aunt said, we are all a family, and it's better to talk about some things."
She finally put away the false smile on her face, and her eyebrows became a little darker, "When it comes to the fate between my aunt and I, I always feel that I can't get around the Daxiangguo Temple. It's fitting that today I am destined to be with my aunt.
The grievances between them were resolved under the witness of all the Bodhisattvas in the temple."
Sure enough, with Yuan Xueqing's character, it would be impossible for her to let herself stand there all the time. Finding herself to talk about the original incident was her usual style.
"I'm afraid my nephew-in-law is too worried. Where does the grudge between us come from?" Qiao Yuyan took a sip of the tea in her hand and said, "This tea is pretty good. My niece-in-law is really good at craftsmanship."
Yuan Xueqing didn't say anything to her. Her eyes were heavy and she didn't know where she was falling. Her fingers slid on the teacup, causing the teacup to slide on the table.
"Actually, I don't have any deep grudge against you, but I'm on good terms with Qiao Yuning and know about the discord between your sisters." She stopped what she was doing and finally raised her eyes, as if she had already organized her words, "At that time
She and I are good friends, so naturally my heart goes to her."
Qiao Yuyan just smiled with a very faint smile, "It means that God still takes care of you. You were not able to become biological sisters when you were born, but in the end, you can still be like sisters."
When she said this, she saw the corners of Yuan Xueqing's eyes twitching, but she did not express her anger.
"I think Aunt Six has always been generous and will not be dissatisfied with me because of this. After thinking about it, the only thing that happened here is that I didn't want to mention it. It was my fault.
The most outrageous and terrible thing I have done in my life.
But after all, I still can't escape the condemnation of my conscience, so every time I see Aunt Six, I always think of it.
It’s best to spread it out and untie it.”
Qiao Yuyan raised her eyebrows, her eyes falling on the falling tea leaves, "Is there any other explanation for this matter?"
Yuan Xueqing said in embarrassment: "No matter how you put it, if you do something wrong, you did something wrong. But if Aunt Six knew about my situation at that time, you would probably be more considerate of me."
Now his behavior is a bit like Qiao Yuning's. Qiao Yuyan secretly thought that he is indeed someone he can play with.
Yuan Xueqing slowly began to confide, "Actually, my mother was seriously ill at that time, and the troublemakers in the family didn't know what methods they used. I must say that it was because I was so old that I had not yet been engaged, and the eight characters were incompatible with each other.
My father was anxious to marry me off.
In a hurry, I couldn't find a good family, and those few people didn't expect me to marry well. But something went wrong and I couldn't speak at all, so I had to run away with my mother again.
Arrive at Daxiangguo Temple.
Who would have known that Princess Jiahe would come over at this time? Anyone in the capital who knows a little bit about my family's situation would know what my urgent thoughts are.
Therefore, Princess Jiahe personally pulled the strings for me and asked me to..."
