Soul travels through the world of immortality

Chapter 501 The Little Daughter’s Mind

Meng's mother came to Li's house to see Mrs. Li. Her face was rosy, and she looked like she knew everything was going well for her recently.

"Mrs. Meng is so busy taking care of the house, how come she has time to visit and bring something?" Mother Li ordered her maid to pour two cups of fragrant scented tea and handed it to Mother Meng.

Mother Meng smiled happily: "I have nothing to do now. This failed child will also take the provincial examination this year. Did I come to Li Mansion specially to take a look?"

Mother Li guessed that Mrs. Meng must have had another purpose in coming here. Seeing her happy look, it was obviously a good thing. After Meng Shijie experienced the case with Li Mingshu, the relationship between the two families has become much closer. Even the servants of the two families are polite, especially the child of his family who saved Sishu. A mother who educates good children is more respected.

The Li family is not an ungrateful person. She knows in her heart that if it were not for the Meng family, the lawsuit with the Zhang family would not be known. Everything is the fault of the Meng family.

"Mrs. Li, these are the fine bird's nests that the master recently brought back from the town. I selected the ones to bring to you." Mother Meng was very polite and asked the maid to unfold the gifts and put them on the table.

Mother Li took a quick look and saw that they were indeed good things.

"Thank you, Mrs. Meng, you are too kind."

Mrs. Li accepted it with a smile. She knew that only by accepting it could Mrs. Meng be relieved.

She could tell that Meng's mother must be asking for something this time, so she brought such an expensive gift. Mrs. Li was also very kind, saying that these gifts must be too expensive, and she insisted on letting Mrs. Meng bring them in return. Take the best Mingqian tea from Li’s family.

Mother Meng didn't beat around the bush. Judging from Mrs. Li's reaction, she probably didn't expect the purpose of her visit, so she directly explained her purpose.

"I have fallen in love with your sister-in-law, and I want to come and tell my Shijie about this marriage."

Mother Li liked what she heard. She already liked Meng Shijie. He was not only handsome and well-motivated, but he was also about to take the exam. If these two children were together, the old couple would be able to relax.

Mother Li's smile became even brighter, "Mrs. Meng, I like this child Shijie very much. If something unexpected happens, I have to discuss it with my father. He will be the one to decide on my daughter's marriage. But I think these two children, that is It's a perfect match. If the master agrees, our two families will settle on this marriage, which will end a big event for both of us."

Mrs. Meng was satisfied with Mrs. Li's attitude.

Their son's character and appearance are both outstanding. It is her daughter's blessing that her son likes his Sisi.

"Then I will be at home, waiting for Mrs. Li's good news. If we become in-laws, the two families will be closer."

Mrs. Li thought about Meng Shijie's appearance, and the more she thought about it, the more satisfied she became. If it weren't for her husband, she would have agreed to the marriage immediately, so she chatted more and more enthusiastically with Mrs. Meng.

"Mrs. Li, I don't know when you will reply. Let's ask the matchmaker to change the date and set the wedding date."

Mrs. Meng hesitated before asking.

In fact, what she wants most is to settle down for her children so that her son can study with peace of mind.

In terms of appearance and talent, there really is no more suitable person in the village for Mrs. Li to be the mother and son-in-law than Meng Shijie.

"My master is coming back soon. I will explain it to him when I get back, and I think I will give you a satisfactory answer.

Mrs. Meng raised her head and smiled, "If our two families get married, I think it won't be long before we can have a grandson.

"But my sister-in-law hasn't even had hairpins yet..." A hint of surprise appeared in Mrs. Li's eyes, and then she lowered her head in thought, filled with joy.

"It's also because I'm too impatient. When my family's great master reaches the age of honor, it's time for my sister-in-law to have the hairpin. I'll hold a happy event for them then."

At that time of the new year, the day when we have grandchildren will not be far away.

Isn’t this the best of both worlds?

Mrs. Li pulled out the veil to cover her smiling face, calmly sent away the visiting Mrs. Meng, and stood in the courtyard for a long time.

When the sun went down, she ordered her maid to prepare a table of delicious dishes and wait for Father Li and Sisi to come home.

But today, when Father Li and Sisi were on their way home from the tea shop, Sisi wanted to eat steamed cakes. It happened that the steamer cakes at the stall were sold out. Father Li specially took Sisi to wait for the second pot to come out. My daughter is extremely doted on.

Yes, if he hadn't loved his daughter very much, Father Li wouldn't have sent his daughter to the mountains to learn martial arts because Sisi was restless.

He had not seen this daughter for several years. He hoped that the child would be healthy, happy, carefree, find a good husband in the future, and be able to live smoothly and peacefully in her husband's family without being bullied. This was his biggest wish.

Mrs. Li also had the same idea. She had long said that she wanted to marry her daughter off in a glorious way, hoping that she would grow old in love with her husband and be able to take charge of her husband's family.

For this reason, the couple also saved a lot of dowry for their daughter, which was enough for Li Mingshuo to have enough food and clothing for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, Li's father didn't know how many years he could keep his daughter by his side. If it were a few years later and Sisi was older, it would be best to discuss marriage. He let out a long sigh.

When Father Li and Li Mingsi returned home, Mother Li greeted them and asked expectantly: "Sisi, are you happy going to the tea shop today?"

Li Mingchao smiled and nodded: "Yes, dad also bought me steamed cakes. Although it took a long time to wait, I still bought the last pot of steamed cakes. Mom, you should try it too."

Mother Li and Father Li both had smiling faces. Seeing their daughter eating happily, their hearts were filled with happiness.

After finishing the meal, Mother Li couldn't help but smile and said: "Sisi, Mrs. Meng came to our house specially today and brought a lot of valuable supplements. She also said that her Meng Shijie likes you. What do you think?"

"What did Mrs. Meng really say?" Li Mingchao asked shyly.

"Of course, I lied to you?"

Li Mingchao stirred up the ends of her hair and looked at the questioning eyes of her parents in front of her. Her thick sleeping hair trembled slightly and her eyes sparkled: "Then what else did she say?"

Li Mingyu's cheeks were a bit brighter than the flowers blooming in spring.

"Daughter, do you like your Brother Meng?" Mother Li approached her face and asked with a smile.

"What do you want me to say? It's so embarrassing! Oh, mother!"

Li Mingshuo was already beautiful and slim, and Mother Li's questions at this time made her even more beautiful because of her shyness.

"Hey, since you don't like it, then I will return the marriage and there will be no need to discuss it with your father?"

"Mom, why are you like this? I haven't thought about it yet..."

"Haha! This boy Meng Shijie is so lucky that my sister-in-law also likes him, haha."

"Dad! Stop talking about it, people won't listen to you."

With a quick trot, Li Mingshu ran back to his bedroom.

Although she didn't answer, Mother Li could still figure out what she was thinking.

But Father Li could feel that his precious daughter, whom he had cared for for more than ten years, was already thinking about the boy from the Meng family, which made him feel a little sad for a moment.

However, thinking that his daughter married into a neighbor's house, which satisfied his own feelings, the sourness in Father Li's heart suddenly stopped, and his expression gradually softened.

To be honest, my daughter's appearance is really beautiful, like a pearl shining with light, soft and white, with that kind of natural cold and calm temperament, even if he is a man, he will be yearning for her.

It's a pity that a daughter's beauty may also become a disaster, just like what happened with the Zhang family. Father Li sneered. Mother Li on the other side was completely unaware of her husband's little thoughts.

She looked towards her daughter's bedroom, with the beautiful shadow reflected on the window. Suddenly, she thought of something. Her daughter had reached the age of engagement. In a few years, she would leave and start her new life.

Mother Li's eyes moistened slightly, then she lowered her head and smiled bitterly in astonishment.

When will your daughter grow up and reach the age of marriage?

"Husband, let's go back to the room to discuss it." At some point, Father Li walked up to Mother Li and pulled her into the house.

The maid Qing'er looked at the master and his wife leaving, her face stiffened for a moment, a moment of resistance flashed in her eyes, but she still kept the dishes in the hall without saying a word.

It suddenly dawned on her that she was standing there, watching the two of them walking away, her brows slightly frowning involuntarily, and a moment of sadness flowed in her eyes that were slightly covered by the broken hair on her forehead.

The young lady was supposed to marry the young master of the Meng family, wasn't she?

She put away her little thoughts and shook her head. Before she could think about it, Li Mingshuo called her into the bedroom and talked about what was on her mind.

"Master, our sisters have reached the age of marriage, and I think it is best to marry her to the Meng family." Mother Li sat on the bedside and said to her husband who was changing clothes.

"It's not impossible. We have watched this boy from the Meng family grow up, and he is considered a childhood sweetheart with Sisi. If he gets married, he will be close to us and easy to take care of. It will be a good match."

"But after all, our sister-in-law has not yet reached the age of hairpin. Mrs. Meng's family said that if we decide to get married, we will have to wait until the eldest son of his family gets married and our sister-in-law has the hairpin."

"It's fair to say that his family understands this. I also feel that this marriage is inappropriate, so it's settled. When you come back, go to the Meng family and tell them that we will set a three-year period for the marriage of these two children."

"As the master said, we have to deal with the dowry for our daughter as soon as possible. I want Qing'er to come with me, what do you think?"

"There's no rush. Don't worry about the dowry. I know what's going on. I'll have to consider the rest in the long run. Go to sleep."

The conversation between the two couples in the bedroom was heard by the maid Qing'er who was passing by. She wanted to tell the lady this quickly. As for herself, she also wanted to be escorted to the Meng family. After all...

The next day, Father Li looked at his daughter's elated expression and felt happy. He said softly: "Meng Shijie's family has excellent conditions and good character. Your mother and I are very satisfied. Marriage is a big event. When you are older, we will I want to organize a wedding for you. I think you agree, so we will make this marriage."

"Dad, your daughter's marriage is up to you."

Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, the Li family has agreed to the marriage, the engagement between the Meng and Li families has been completed, and the matchmakers are ready.

Meng Shijie and Li Mingshuo got married, and the two families became in-laws. They moved around more frequently, and the unmarried couple became closer and closer.

After the New Year, the weather gradually warmed up and the vegetation soared. Li Mingshuo received a letter from her master, urging her to return to the mountain to practice. It was at this critical moment that registration for the provincial examination was about to begin.

When Meng Shijie returned to the room, Meng Shixiang, who was packing his bags, looked up at his eldest brother: "Brother, are you going to go to town with your second brother?"

"Registration for the rural examination is in the next few days, and we are planning to go to the town in the next two days."

"Brother, can you take me with you? You and your second brother have both gone to the provincial examination. I hope you both pass the exam, and your future will be bright." Meng Shixiang said with an envious look.

"Shixiang, don't slack off. You passed the boy's examination half a year ago. If you weren't so young, you would have been able to pass the provincial examination long ago." Meng Shijie said encouragingly.

"How can this be the same! You and your second brother have worked hard. Besides, you have participated in the provincial examination. I have to learn from you."

"Shixiang, I know you also want to grow up quickly and be able to take the provincial examination, but we will give you another two years before you are ten years old and you will meet the age for the provincial examination. Don't be in a hurry to join the officialdom. Two years of hard work will make you better than Shiqing and I are better. As for the future, as my father said, no matter what the outcome is, I believe our choice will not be wrong." Meng Shijie said encouragingly.

Seeing his always gentle elder brother's expectations for him, Meng Shixiang was so excited that he didn't know how to answer.

"Brother, let me go to town with you."

"Stop being ridiculous. The three of us are gone. Father and mother will feel lonely."

In this way, two of the three boys from the Meng family took part in the provincial examination, and they decided that they would go to the town to register together.

Li Mingshuo, who was worried, also wanted to spend more time with Meng Shijie before returning to the mountain, so he took Qing'er to go to the town with them for an outing on the pretext of their registration.

Thinking that he could reach the town tomorrow and be alone with Meng Shijie on the way, Li Mingshuo felt depressed about going back to the mountain, as if the flowers were blooming in spring, so he relaxed and had a good sleep.

Early in the morning, Li Mingshuo took Qing'er out. They were waiting for Meng Shijie's carriage outside Meng's house.

The mountain is rugged, and people pass by here every day. Over time, it forms a winding path.

Meng Shijie and the others knew that the mountain road was extremely rugged. After climbing over the mountain, they could reach the town. When they approached the foot of the mountain, everyone except Meng Shiqing, who was driving, got out of the car. Hike halfway up the mountain.

Li Mingshuo was like a bird in flight, walking with Meng Shijie on the mountain path, and her companion Qing'er followed closely in her footsteps.

"Girl, I can hardly catch up with you, just wait for me..."

Li Mingchao put his hands on his temples and smiled calmly: "I am good at martial arts. Of course your footwork cannot match mine. Come after me."

The words were too irritating and made Qing'er seem like a burden. This would make her feel that she was just a trouble and that she was just doing good deeds by bringing her here.

Meng Shijie shouted: "Who said you have fast feet? I don't accept it." He quickly chased the cheerful Li Mingyu and laughed with him.

Meng Shiqing followed closely behind in the carriage. Because the path in the forest was winding and walking through it was no faster than running on two legs, he gradually fell behind.
