Su Mingshan noticed Qingmei's gaze from the corner of her eye and turned to look at her.
"Aunt Qing, what's wrong?"
Qingmei asked with a trembling voice: "Miss, do you know how old your sister Li's mother is now?"
Su Mingshan was a little confused as to why her Qing aunt asked this, but she still replied truthfully: "I don't know the exact number, but my sister Li is twenty-four this year, and she will be twenty-five after the Chinese New Year. Plus she is pregnant in October, Well, let’s count it at twenty-six. I heard that when her mother was picked up, she was kept there for a year or two waiting for someone to take her back. Even if it’s two years, it’s twenty-eight. For now, let’s count her and Ji as being taken back that year. If you pick it up, it’s forty-three.”
When Su Mingshan said this, there was curiosity in her eyes: "Aunt Qing, what are you asking about? Maybe you know her?"
Qingmei heard that they were about the same age. Her hands, which were clenched into fists under her sleeves, trembled slightly, and she asked in a hoarse voice: "Miss, you just said they would come over in the afternoon, but did you say what time it would be? Anyway, the old slave is not here now." Nothing, why don’t you go to the door to greet you first?”
Su Mingshan became more and more curious, but she did not refuse: "Okay, then Aunt Qing, you can go!"
After Qingmei left with messy steps, Ou Kui and Su Mingshan were the only mother and daughter left in the dining room.
Ou Kui looked thoughtful, but Su Mingshan couldn't help but asked, "Mom, do you know if my Aunt Qing has any relatives? I have never heard her talk about them in these years."
Ou Kui shook his head: "I don't know! Mom only knows that she is a miserable woman. As for the other things, she didn't tell her, so she didn't ask. As long as she knows that she is a good person and will not harm her, she can get to the bottom of it and reveal her scars. What’s the point?”
What Ou Kui didn't say was that Qingmei's color was good, and she was three points prettier than Pan Yaqing, who was known as the most beautiful woman in Xinyang Mansion back then.
It's just that over the years, she has been uglifying herself and has never appeared in front of outsiders with her true appearance.
If she hadn't wiped the stains from her face with her own hands when she first rescued him, she might not have known about it.
Su Mingshan did not continue to ask, but changed the topic and said: "Mom, Caiwei has outstanding appearance, but her family background is not so obvious. You also know what kind of virtue Qian Tongpan is. I have been such a disciple in my life, so I have thought about two things." Nian took her to his house and asked Aunt Qing to teach her, do you think Aunt Qing will agree?"
Ou Kui had seen Qingmei's true appearance when she was young, so when others said how beautiful so and so was, she found it insignificant after seeing them.
Now that she heard her Mingshan repeatedly emphasize Li Caiwei's beauty, she felt curious.
"Your apprentice, you can protect me if you want. But as you said, that girl is only seven years old after the New Year, and she hasn't even grown yet. Is she really as beautiful as you say?"
Su Mingshan nodded vigorously: "Mom, my father and I have met a lot of people outside since I was a child. You should know that I will not miss you easily. Caiwei is young and her facial features are extremely delicate, as if they have been carefully carved by God. Generally speaking. It is said that beauty does not necessarily have exquisite facial features, but people with exquisite facial features must be beautiful. My sister Li is good-looking. I heard that her mother is better, and I heard that Caiwei is even better than her grandmother, so my mother-in-law is Just think about it.”
Hearing Su Mingshan's description, Ou Kui became more and more curious: "Oh? Then you can tell me, what does she look like specifically?"
Su Mingshan thought about it for a moment and then said: "Although my good disciple has a childish face, her eyebrows are like brittle feathers and her skin is as white as snow. She has a pair of big, clear and smart eyes, and her eyes are as bright as stars. She is exquisite and greasy. Her nose and small mouth are always red. The most important thing is that she also has a pair of shallow pear dimples. When she smiles, you will feel that the whole world is sweet."
Speaking of this, Su Mingshan paused for a moment, then the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and her eyes were full of pride.
"Caiwei's smile seems to be able to heal people. When she smiles, you will feel that all the haze has been swept away."
It's just that she rarely smiles, and I don't know if it's because of her past experiences.
In addition, she also discovered that the skin of her sister Li and her daughter were very white.
I heard that I was always working in the fields before, and I don’t know how I turned white in just a few months.
Although she is also fair, she is more afraid of being exposed to the sun.
Every summer, although she tried to avoid going out during the day, it was still much darker than in winter.
I don’t know what her sister Li’s secret care recipe is, and I don’t know if I can tell her, or I can make the things and sell them to her separately.
Thinking like this, Su Mingshan decided to ask her how to make herself whiter after meeting Li Yuan.
In other words, not afraid of the sun.
Fortunately, Li Yuan didn't know. If she knew, she would definitely say that they inherited it.
In addition, it has been nourished by Wang Canling Spring Water in the past few months, can it be bad?
Thinking back to the beginning, when she saw Xie Yanzhi's white appearance, she felt worried, so she applied whitening cream all day long and a whitening mask every now and then.
Now, she has never worried about this aspect again.

Just as Qingmei was looking forward to the stars and the moon, Li Yuan came with her two daughters and Xie Yanzhi.
The post she asked Xie Yanzhi to write was for her visit in the afternoon.
But because after lunch, she was afraid that the other party would take a lunch break, so she chose to come at the end of the day.
When the carriage stopped and Xie Yanzhi got out of the carriage first, as soon as she poked her head out of the carriage, she saw a strange old woman hurried towards her.
Qingmei looked at Li Yuan with longing eyes. If she looked closely, she could see the redness in her eyes.
"Dare I ask, is it Mrs. Li?"
As she spoke, her eyes fell on the two little girls behind Li Yuan.
As vicious as her eyes were, it was immediately obvious that the makeup around Caiwei's eyes was a bit clumsy.
Li Yuan only thought that she was the person sent by Su Mingshan to wait for them at the door. Hearing this, she nodded: "Yes, my name is Li Yuan, and this is my soon-to-be-married fiancé. The other two are my children!"
She said, and with the help of Xie Yanzhi, she got out of the carriage.
After Xie Yanzhi took Caiwei and Qingsha out of the car, she also settled the money with the coachman.
Qingmei's eyes looked at her for a while, then at the two children. After she paid the fare, she hurriedly ushered the people in.
Li Yuan's family of three, plus Xie Yanzhi, were taken directly to the living room.
On the way, I happened to meet Su Mingshan who came in a hurry after learning that they were coming.
Before she could speak, Caiwei shouted sweetly: "Master!"
After shouting, he remembered the rules again. When Su Mingshan arrived, Caiwei looked serious and gave her a big salute.
"Disciple Caiwei, meet the master!"
Xiao Qingsha followed suit and said, "Greetings, Master!"
Su Mingshan didn't want to be too happy. She first touched Xiao Qingsha's little head: "We haven't seen you for more than twenty days. Qingsha seems to have grown a little taller."
Qingsha, who loved hearing others say that she had grown taller and taller, didn't have time to be happy when she saw her sister being led by her master into the living room.
