Qi Yun could clearly see the change in Meng Li's expression as if she was thinking.
However, she pretended not to see it and still looked at Xie Bingyan who was sitting diagonally opposite with a smile.
For some things, it would be nice if both sides understood what was going on.
If they were to point it out directly, it would be inappropriate for both of them.
"Miss, the snacks are here."
Qi Yun saw Yu'er walking in with a tray in her hand and several little maids, she smiled and waved her hand.
"Put it all on."
"Hey, Yu'er knows."
Yu'er turned to the little sisters on the side and nodded, holding the tray in her hand, she walked straight to Young Master Liu and Xie Qingtong and stopped beside them.
"Uncle, some snacks."
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyes and looked at Yu'er, licking the tea leaves at the corner of his mouth and shaking his head with a chuckle.
"I won't use it anymore. Let's give it to the master, his wife, all the young ladies, and a few distinguished guests."
"Yes, I understand."
Just as Yu'er was about to turn around, Liu Dashao suddenly waved.
"Yu'er, wait."
"Master?"
Young Master Liu turned to look at Xie Qingtong and pointed at the tray in Yu'er's hand.
"Qingtong, do you want some snacks for the tooth ceremony?"
Xie Qingtong looked at the plates of snacks on the tray, shook his head with a smile, and took off a wine bag from his waist.
"Commander, there's no need for you, General. Compared to these snacks, General I would rather drink some drinks."
Young Master Liu looked at the wine bag in Xie Qingtong's hand and waved directly to Yu'er.
"Yu'er."
Yu'er nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards Qi Yun and the sisters.
"Commander, the general's legs can't stand the cold, so the general always keeps a bag of spirits on his body to warm his body."
Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, put down the teacup in his hand, picked up an empty teacup and put it in front of Xie Qingtong.
"Pour some wine, let's have a few drinks together, brothers."
"yes."
Xie Qingtong nodded vigorously, pulled out the wine cork, and happily filled a glass of wine for Young Master Liu and himself.
"Commander, I will give you a toast."
"Good brothers, let's drink together."
The two brothers picked up their wine glasses and clinked them with each other, then raised their heads and drank the wine in one gulp.
Young Master Liu smacked his lips a few times and breathed out a breath of alcohol.
"Huh, is it an ox or a horse?"
Xie Qingtong immediately added two glasses of wine, looked at Young Master Liu and replied with a smile: "Hehehe, that's right, it's the Niumatou that we brothers used to drink.
Other drinks are not strong enough and will not be enough to satisfy your cravings."
"In this weather, you have to drink cows and horses to enjoy yourself. Keep drinking."
"I will give you a toast."
After Yu'er divided the snacks on the tray, she led a group of little sisters to the corner of the hall and sat on the small stool behind her.
Qi Yun pinched a peach kernel with her fingers and gestured to Xie Bingyan with a smile.
"Bingyan."
"Hey, Auntie."
"Girl, when you go to your aunt's house, it's like you're at your own home. You can eat whatever you want, and don't be polite."
"Yeah, yeah, Yan'er knows, thank you, aunt."
"Xie Yun, you too, don't be polite."
"Yes, my nephew understands. Thank you all, aunts."
"Mrs. sister-in-law, please."
"Together, together."
Qi Yun smiled and nodded sweetly, turned to look at the good sisters sitting beside her, and put the peach kernels into her mouth with the corners of her lips slightly raised.
The third princess, Qi Ya and the others felt Qi Yun's eyes. They turned their beautiful eyes slightly and thought about something while eating various nuts in their hands with a smile.
Meng Li glanced sideways at her youngest daughter Xie Bingyan, who was eating various snacks with a smile, and ate the candied fruit in her hand with complicated eyes.
The candied fruit, which is usually sour and sweet, now tastes a bit unpleasant.
Now, Meng Li was very sure in her heart that Qi Yun, Qi Ya, the Queen, Qing Lian and other sisters were interested in her little daughter.
Regarding this situation, she couldn't help but feel a bit of resistance in her heart.
Of course, Meng Li had such thoughts, not because she had any dissatisfaction with Young Master Liu, Qi Yun, the third princess, the queen, Yun Qingshi, his wife and others.
She just simply didn't want her daughter to enter the deep palace compound one day.
She has never seen with her own eyes what the Deep Palace Compound is like, let alone experienced the life in the Deep Palace Compound.
However, she had heard something about what was going on in the deep palace compound.
Once you enter the palace gate, you will be as deep as the sea. This sentence is not just a common saying.
It is a history of blood and tears written by young and beautiful women using their own life experiences.
If others don’t know what kind of character my little daughter is, why doesn’t she, my mother, also know her?
One day, if she marries into the royal family, with her simple character, in a place full of intrigues like the deep palace compound, I'm afraid...I'm afraid...
Meng Li glanced sideways at Xie Bingyan, who was eating various nuts with a smile, and gently chewed the candied fruits in his mouth. An imperceptible bitterness quickly flashed through the depths of his beautiful eyes.
Silly girl, silly girl, you really don't know how to be polite at all.
Do you know that half of your feet have already entered the abyss?
Meng Li silently ate the nuts in her hand, looking at Xie Qingtong from time to time.
When she saw Xie Qingtong drinking with Young Master Liu, she was already feeling helpless, but now she felt even more helpless.
Old man, drink, drink, drink, don’t you see that your precious daughter is about to be abducted?
Meng Li complained secretly in her heart, and then glanced sideways at her son Xie Yun.
This sight made her feel even more bitter.
At this moment, her son Xie Yun was happily eating the snacks on the plate like her sister Xie Bingyan.
There was a hint of helplessness in Meng Lishen's eyes, and she let out a silent sigh with her mouth slightly open.
Forget it, forget it, just do whatever you want.
Qi Yun took out a handkerchief from her sleeves and wiped the corners of her mouth, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. She looked at Xie Bingyan with a smile on her face, who was cracking almonds with her white teeth.
"Bingyan."
Xie Bingyan immediately raised his head and looked at Qi Yun, raised his hand and casually wiped the nut residue from the corners of his lips a few times.
"Hey, the little girl is here, aunt?"
"Bingyan, are the snacks at your aunt's house delicious?"
Xie Bingyan nodded vigorously a few times, and replied with a sweet smile without showing her teeth: "It's delicious, very delicious. There are several kinds of snacks, and this is the first time Yan'er has eaten them.
If you hadn't asked someone to prepare it for Yan'er, aunt, I wouldn't have known there was such a delicious thing in this world."
Qi Yun'e raised her eyebrows slightly and picked up a piece of pastry with a smile: "Hehehe, Bingyan, if you like to eat it, then you can eat more.
If you don't have enough to eat, just tell your aunt and she will ask someone to prepare some for you."
"Yeah, thank you Auntie. You can eat it too, Auntie."
After Qi Yuntan took a small bite of the pastry with her mouth slightly open, she looked at Xie Bingyan and said softly: "Bingyan, Auntie has something to discuss with you."
Xie Bingyan quickly put down the nuts in his hand, looked at Qi Yun and nodded solemnly: "Okay, aunt, tell me, Yan'er is all ears."
"Hehehe, what Auntie wants to say is just an ordinary little thing. Bingyan, you don't have to be so serious. Let's talk while we eat."
"Okay, aunt, tell me."
"Bingyan, it's like this, my aunt has a daughter named Liu Yaoyao.
Yaoyao is a little older than you. According to her age, you should still call her Yaoyao sister.
A few days ago, there was a young talented man with good moral character and a very good family background who suddenly expressed his love for her.
However, your sister Yaoyao has been obsessed with medical skills since she was a child, and she has no plans to get married yet.
However, your sister Yaoyao has a kind heart and a gentle personality, but for a moment she didn’t know how to reject that husband.
If she didn't refuse, she was worried that the young talent would continue to pester her.
The tone of rejection was harsh, but I was worried that it would hurt the young talent's heart.
In the past few days, sister Yaoyao, don’t mention how depressed you are because of this matter.”
"Ah? This! This, so what?"
"Hehehe, so aunt just wants to ask you, Bingyan, do you have someone you like now?
If so, my aunt hopes that you can find answers to your sister Yaoyao privately based on your own situation.
After all, you sisters are peers, and it is easiest to get along with peers.
Bingyan, you should be able to understand your daughter's family's worries.
There are some things that it is really not convenient for my aunt, a mother, to talk to her in detail.
However, if you little sisters mention these topics in a joking way, there will be no problem."
After hearing Qi Yun's words, Xie Bingyan looked slightly startled, and when he reacted, his pretty face was instantly stained with a layer of blush.
"Ah? This! This! Aunt, I...I..."
Qi Yun saw Xie Bingyan's pretty face turned red and her words incoherent, and she picked up her tea cup with a smile.
"Of course, if it's Bingyan and you don't have someone you like right now and you don't have any experience in this field, then forget it.
When my aunt is free, I will just ask others."
Xie Bingyan looked at Qi Yun with a pretty face, and twirled the nuts between her fingers in confusion.
"Aunt, I...I...
I'm really sorry, Yan'er doesn't have anyone she likes yet.
So, Yan'er really can't help you with this matter, and she can't help sister Yaoyao either."
As soon as Xie Bingyan said these words, Qi Yun's eyes flashed with joy.
The smiles on the faces of the three princesses, Qi Ya, Qing Lian, Hu Yan Yunyao, Wen Ren Yunshu and others became even stronger at this time.
Qi Yun smiled lightly and took a sip of tea. She glanced sideways at her husband, who had raised his brows slightly, and let out a sigh of relief with the corners of his lips raised slightly.
Okay, okay, I finally figured out this girl's current situation.
"Bingyan."
"Hey, aunt, tell me."
"Since you don't have someone you like yet, forget it.
Regarding your sister Yaoyao, aunt can just ask others when she has the chance."
"Aunt, I'm so sorry, Yan'er really can't help you."
"Hehehe, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, eat nuts, eat nuts."
"Yeah, aunt, you should eat too."
Qi Yun nodded with a smile on her face, picked up a walnut and gestured to Xie Bingyan.
"Hey, good girl, let's eat together."
Meng Li chewed the walnut kernels in her mouth gently, looked at Qi Yun, Qinglian, her sisters and others, and then looked at her little daughter who was eating nuts with an innocent face, and her heart became more and more bitter.
Stinky girl, stinky girl, let me tell you what to do!
Mrs. Liu squeezed it gently with her fingers, and a walnut broke into pieces. Then she handed the nut in front of Liu Zhi'an with a faint smile.
"Sir, walnut kernels."
"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, madam."
Mrs. Liu put one arm on the table, smiled softly, picked up her tea cup, and leaned slightly sideways towards Liu Zhi'an.
"master."
"Um, ma'am?"
Mrs. Liu pretended to glance at Xie Bingyan casually, and said softly in a low voice: "Master, do you think this girl Bingyan, which of our grandsons is more suitable for her?"
Liu Zhi'an raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded and lowered his eyebrows, eating the nuts in his hand with a smile on his face.
"Madam, no one can say for sure about fate.
We are already old, so we can just let them handle matters between our children and grandchildren."
As Liu Zhi'an spoke, he picked up a piece of cake and handed it to Mrs. Liu.
"Madam, eat cakes, eat cakes, we'll just watch."
Mrs. Liu reached out and took the cake from Liu Zhian, and nodded with a smile.
"Okay, I understand."
Young Master Liu slowly exhaled the breath of alcohol, turned aside and put the drinking cup aside, then poured two glasses of wine from the pot.
"Qingtong."
"The end will be here."
"My servant has already told me the reason for your visit today. Do you need to tell me again?"
Xie Qingtong immediately sat up straight and looked at Young Master Liu and nodded without hesitation.
"Back to the commander, I want to waste my words again. I hope the commander will forgive me."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, smiled lightly and caressed the tea lid in his hand.
"Say it, I'm here to listen."
"Come back to the Commander-in-Chief, I brought my wife, son and daughter to the house today to pay my respects. It is for the purpose of recruiting a dog to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Young Master Liu lowered his head and took a sip of tea, crossed his legs and leaned on the chair. He glanced up at Xie Qingtong, and then shifted his gaze to Xie Yun.
"Xie Yun."
Xie Yun suddenly stood up and quickly put the nuts in his hands on the table.
"Uncle, my nephew is here."
"Your father has already stated his purpose of coming, aren't you going to say something?"
"Reply to my uncle, my nephew, my nephew is here to give Princess Yiyi a betrothal gift."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly and sighed with a sad expression.
"Oh, thank you Yun."
"My nephew is here."
"How is your family's betrothal gift for this girl Yiyi? Uncle, I won't ask you any more questions.
Uncle, I only want to ask you one question, and you must answer your uncle truthfully."
Xie Yun's expression tightened and he quickly bowed.
"Uncle, please ask me. My nephew will definitely tell you everything he knows."
