After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave quickly.
Old Madam Pei immediately became anxious. How could he leave when he hadn't even met her granddaughter?
She quickly stopped him: "Xiao Youxiang, please wait a moment. My granddaughter has long admired you. It just so happens that we met this time, so I'm here to introduce you two to each other!"
Xiao Rui didn't even turn around. He said loudly: "Thank you for your kindness, old lady, but my official duties really can't wait!"
However, when he saw two figures walking not far away, he stopped in his tracks.
His narrow eyes swept across Meng Yunshang imperceptibly before landing on Lin Yiwan and saying, "Madam Hou, you actually came to Ci'en Temple today?"
Lin Yiwan quickly smiled broadly, "Yeah, so Xiao Youxiang is here too? Are you here with your mother?"
Xiao Rui nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I'll take you to see her!"
After saying that, he turned around and led her to Old Madam Xiao, who was full of surprise.
"Oh, Wanwan, I finally see you. You know how much I've missed you!"
As she spoke, she hugged her very affectionately.
Lin Yiwan answered obediently, "A lot of things have happened at home. I was thinking of visiting you when I have some free time. I didn't expect to meet you at Ci'en Temple. What a nice guy!"
Pei Saisai, who was standing behind Old Madam Pei at this moment, was extremely uneasy. She was so scared that her legs were trembling.
She never expected that Madam Xiao and Lin Yiwan had such a good relationship.
If she knew what happened in Xiulou, she would definitely look down on her.
This is how to do!
She really regretted it!
At this time, Mrs. Pei was also a little unhappy. Xiao Rui clearly said that he had official business to attend to, but he left in a hurry without even looking back.
But when he saw Lin Yiwan, he retreated and stood aside, which showed that he did not take the Pei family seriously.
But he does have the ability to be frivolous, because he is the right prime minister of the current dynasty.
A child of destiny, the pillar of talent most valued by the emperor!
Moreover, he is still so young, and he is a good husband that many noble families are eyeing!
If the third girl could make eye contact with him this time, the Pei family would become the top family in the dynasty, surpassing the other three families.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but relax her brows.
She said with a smile, "So it's the wife of the Marquis of Zhan Yi's mansion. I've heard of her before, but due to poor health, I've never had the chance to meet her!"
Madam Xiao quickly spoke up, "Wanwan, this is Madam Pei. She's incredibly powerful and the ancestor of the Pei family!"
Madam Pei couldn't help laughing: "What are you talking about? Are you disgusted by my age and long life?"
Madam Xiao raised her eyebrows. "No way! I'm introducing you to Wanwan. I'm reminding her to be respectful to you and not be disrespectful!"
Lin Yiwan stepped forward quickly and bowed gracefully, "Wanwan greets Old Madam Pei. I've long heard that Old Madam Pei led seventy-two women in Shengjing City to produce tens of thousands of winter coats overnight, aiding the late emperor in his campaign against the invading barbarians. They rendered tremendous service!"
Hearing her talk about the old days, Mrs. Pei couldn't help but feel very emotional.
With the passing of the late emperor, few people remember her contributions.
The common people only know that the Pei family is an old family that has made great contributions to the country, but they don’t know what their contributions are.
On the contrary, Lin Yiwan was clear about it, which did surprise her a little.
She couldn't help but soften her tone and said, "Why bring up those old things? I'm already in my twilight years now. I just hope that the Pei family can live in harmony and that I can hold my great-grandson in my arms soon. Even if I die, I can rest in peace!"
This is a bit interesting. It is a reminder to Old Madam Xiao not to forget the important things.
A complicated expression suddenly appeared on her face, and she vaguely regretted that she should not have impulsively agreed to her request to see the younger generation.
Lin Yiwan quickly took her arm and said, "Madam Xiao, I haven't introduced you yet. This is Miss Meng, the only daughter of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Meng Yunshang stepped forward and saluted obediently: "Yunshang greets Old Madam Xiao!"
When Old Madam Xiao suddenly saw such a dignified and virtuous girl, she was instantly overjoyed.
She hurriedly urged the old lady standing behind her: "Quick, take out the gift I prepared and give it to Miss Meng!"
The old nanny was stunned at first, then she handed an exquisite box hidden in her sleeve to Meng Yunshang.
Madam Xiao explained: "This is a warm jade bracelet made of a piece of warm jade that my son found for me. Wearing it on your wrist for a long time is extremely beneficial to your health!"
Meng Yunshang said shyly, "Madam, such a valuable gift cannot be accepted by Yunshang!"
Madam Xiao interrupted directly: "The elders' gift cannot be refused. Besides, my son can help me find it again. He is filial, isn't he?"
Xiao Rui nodded calmly: "Mother is right, since she has given it to Miss Meng, then you should accept it!"
Meng Yunshang bit her lip and then put the gift into her sleeve.
Pei Saisai immediately became anxious. That should have been a gift prepared for her, so how could it be given to Meng Yunshang by Old Madam Xiao?
Why would she, a chicken that can't even lay eggs, try to steal a marriage partner for herself?
She didn't bother waiting for her grandmother's instructions. She quickly stepped forward and saluted politely: "Saisai greets Old Madam Xiao!"
Mrs. Xiao suddenly saw that she was covered with a veil, and couldn't help asking in surprise: "What is this?"
Old Madam Pei never expected that her granddaughter would be so impatient and rush out so recklessly. She was simply too impatient.
Did she really forget all the rules she was taught? If she ran out rashly like this, it would make the Pei family's anxious intention to find a wife public, which would make Xiao Rui unhappy.
Sure enough, the moment he saw her, the dignified and gentle Xiao Youxiang showed a hint of displeasure on his face.
She quickly tried to smooth things over: "This is my little granddaughter Saisai. She has always been lively. I am old now, and only when I see this girl can I find some fun in this dull life. That's why I brought this little girl to meet Old Madam Xiao and ask you to help me take care of her!"
I have to say, this sentence has clearly told Meng Yunshang and Lin Yiwan that this meeting between our two families was arranged long ago, so you should not jump out to join in the fun.
Madam Xiao laughed: "Oh, if it was in the first few years, I might still have the strength to control the little girl, but now, it's absolutely impossible. My head hurts like a needle if you say three more words to me!"
She changed the subject and looked at Pei Saisai curiously. "But why is such a lively girl wearing a veil? Are you worried about the presence of other men? We in the Great Sheng Dynasty don't have these outdated rules. Take it off quickly. Aren't you bored?"
Pei Saisai was so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into. She didn't want to wear a veil, but what else could she do?
