But before she raised her leg, Mrs. Meng broke all her hopes first.
"Qinglian, what are you doing standing there? Jiuge and King Beiyuan are both guests. Is it possible that you still want to sit next to Jiuge, so hurry up and sit with me. Don't lose your manners."
Mrs. Meng gave Meng Qinglian angrily. Why did she feel that her granddaughter lacked eyesight
Meng Qinglian narrowed her mouth, her expression was unwilling, but she obediently walked over to Mrs. Meng and sat down.
She is tired, knowing that her meal today cannot be delicious.
After everyone was seated, Old Man Meng smiled again and said: "I don't know what you like to eat. Today I prepare some home-cooked dishes, and I hope you will be able to eat them."
"Old lady, you laughed. I just heard that for this banquet, old lady, you specially invited the chef from the restaurant outside. Presumably even some home-cooked dishes are delicious."
Ming Jiuge answered with a smile.
In contrast, Xiao Beiyuan's answer was much colder: "This king is not picky."
The simple five words don’t describe too much, but Ming Jiuge can hear that Xiao Beiyuan’s attitude when facing Mrs. Meng Lao seems to be extraordinarily gentle. Although it is not as good as her, it is also better than ordinary people. Too much.
"Well, well, I know you are good children, so you have to open your stomach to eat today." Mrs. Meng was not satisfied, her muddy eyes kept lingering between Ming Jiuge and Xiao Beiyuan, her eyes a little ambiguous.
Ming Jiuge hadn't noticed it at first, but Mrs. Meng's eyes were too hot right now. She just wanted to ignore it. Could it be that Mrs. Meng discovered the relationship between her and Xiao Beiyuan
No way
The two of them have appeared together in front of Mrs. Meng only twice, won't they show their feet so soon
Meng Qinglian had seen them so many times back and forth, and no one could tell. It took a long time for Song Biluo to react. Old Lady Meng's eyes would not be so venomous, right
Ming Jiuge shook his head and threw this idea away.
Mrs. Meng clapped her hands: "Let's serve food."
Taking advantage of the effort of serving dishes, Ming Jiuge set himself
I took out the gift I prepared for Mrs. Meng. Then he got up and walked around to Mrs. Meng’s side and said: "Old lady, Jiuge doesn’t know what you like, so I just picked a gift for myself. Take a look. like or not."
Mrs. Meng did not expect that Ming Jiuge brought a gift to herself. She was so happy, she smiled and took the exquisite wooden box: "Good boy, you have your heart. If you can have this heart, I am already very happy. No matter what you gave, I’m very satisfied."
Mrs. Meng said while opening the box. It’s not that she couldn’t wait to see what gift Ming Jiuge gave her, but someone else came to give it. It’s a kind of politeness for the guests to open the gifts in person, which represents the importance of the guests. That's why Mrs. Meng will directly take it apart.
This gift was prepared by Beast Beast directly. After putting it in the box, even Ming Jiuge herself hadn't seen it. So when Mrs. Meng opened it, she couldn't help but her eyes fell on the box.
The lid was lifted, and there were three ancient books with gray covers lying inside, all of which were ancient poems and travel notes. Seeing this, Ming Jiuge withdrew his attention in peace.
I have to say that the beasts and beasts are really caring. Not only are the writings of these books worn out, even the paper inside has been specially replaced with yellowed old paper, the edges are deliberately rough, and there are some slight wear. Even the characters on the cover have been replaced with traditional characters, which can be said to be very careful.
"Hey, what kind of book is this? Why does the old man seem to have never seen it before?"
Seeing the three books in the box, Mrs. Meng raised her doubts. She put the lid aside, took out the three books inside, and carefully flipped through a few pages. The more she looked at it, the more shocked she became, and her eyes became more cautious. Get up, with cherishment.
In the end, I couldn't stop reading it. Seeing this, Ming Jiuge knew that his gift was the right one. It seems that Mrs. Meng still likes these books very much.
The three did not disturb Mrs. Meng, but the servant who came in to deliver the food pulled Mrs. Meng back to God from the book. She closed the book in her hands a little bit reluctantly, and then carefully put it back into the box. The expression is like getting a treasure, even when I put it back in the book,
The movements slowed down a lot, for fear of breaking the paper.
Ming Jiuge smiled and returned to his seat and sat down: "Is the old lady satisfied with these books?"
"Satisfied, I can’t be satisfied anymore, but the old man still wants to ask you, where did you get this book? The old man has never seen the poem above, and the poets marked on the back, do they still Surviving in the world? The power to write such beautiful verses, the old man would like to visit it in person."
There was a look of worship and respect in Mrs. Meng's eyes.
Ming Jiuge shook his head. From the old lady asking her a few questions, we can see how much Ms. Meng likes these books, but it is a pity that she can't answer any of these questions.
"I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint you, old lady. Jiuge accidentally learned about these books. Jiuge tried to find the source of these books, but I still found nothing. So I’m afraid I can’t help Mrs. Meng. Confused."
"That's it, then forget it, it seems that I have no chance with you and me."
Mrs. Meng's words were filled with regret.
"Old lady, sometimes there must be life in the end, but there is no time to force it in life."
Ming Jiuge persuaded that she didn't want to make Mrs. Meng worry about her food because of the books she had given. Then she had sinned too badly and deviated from the original intention of giving gifts.
Hearing what Ming Jiuge said, Mrs. Meng was taken aback for a moment, and then she laughed.
"You little girl has turned to persuade the old man, don’t worry, the old man is still very open-minded, and I won’t remember it in my heart, I will never forget it, but if you can get such a good original in the future, you might as well take it and give it to the old man Take a look, although you are getting older, you can still research and study with you juniors."
"Well, if Jiuge is lucky enough to get such a book, I will definitely send it to the old lady first."
Ming Jiu Ge responded very readily.
Such a cheerful personality made Mrs. Meng like her a little bit more.
"Then is it the king's turn next?" Xiao Beiyuan on the side said in a deep voice.
"Originally, I didn't expect you to bring gifts, but Jiuge, the child, has given it away. You can't fall behind."
