I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

Xu Yanzhou was stunned holding the post. He and Meng Qingyu had never had any contact with each other. Could there be something wrong with this sudden post being sent to him?

Then he thought about it and figured it out. Although they had no connection, they both married the daughter of the Qiao family. To be honest, he should call himself brother-in-law.

His wedding with Qiao Wan'er is coming up in a few days, and the Jian'an Marquis's Mansion has been busy with this matter recently.

As the groom, Xu Yanzhou naturally didn't have to worry about anything, as the mistress would take care of everything. But the wedding date was approaching, and he wondered if it would be inappropriate for him to go to Qiao Wan'er.

But Meng Qingyu specifically asked to bring Qiao Wan'er along. Maybe he just wanted to meet her and become a family after getting to know her.

After Xu Yanzhou figured it out, he went to the Qiao Mansion to pick up Qiao Wan'er and went to the appointment together.

At Fuxi Restaurant, Meng Qingyu and Mu Qing were already waiting.

Mu Qing's mother and Meng Qingyu's mother were also full sisters. They married Marquis Ding'an. Mu Qing was younger than Meng Qingyu, but she was also old enough to be sworn relatives.

Originally, Mu Qing's mother, Lady Ding'an, wanted Mu Qing to marry into the Meng family. Although Meng Qingyu was not the eldest grandson, he was still a legitimate grandson, and his mother and he were sisters, so the marriage between the two children was really a double bond.

But Meng Qingyu's mother disagreed, saying that she treated Mu Qing as her daughter, and it would be good for her to marry into the Meng family. But there are bound to be bumps in the lives of a couple, so don't let the two families become estranged because of the affairs of the young couple.

Mrs. Ding'an thought about it and realized that this made sense. Now the two families were considered relatives. If the two children got married, they would be one family. If something happened and there was a disagreement in interests, there would be resentment.

Mu Qing had a sweet look and was good at speaking. There was no one in the room at the moment, so she looked at Meng Qingyu and said, "Cousin Yu, it turns out that my aunt rejected the marriage between our two families and wanted to marry you a princess."

Mentioning Qiao Linxi, Meng Qingyu's eyes were dark. He couldn't say he liked the newly promoted Princess Dingguo, but he didn't hate her either. In short, he was tied to her and would spend his whole life with her.

"Who can say for sure about marriage?"

Meng Qingyu looked at Mu Qing with a hint of doting in his eyes, "Although we can't be husband and wife, you will always be my sister."

"If we become husband and wife and live together every day, there will inevitably be bumps and bumps. I don't want to have any grudges against you."

Men would have three wives and four concubines. Meng Qingyu didn't think that he would stay with Mu Qing for the rest of his life after getting married. Even if he wanted to, there would be too many changes in the future, so who could say for sure?

"So, do you like the princess?"

Mu Qing knew about the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. She knew Meng Qingyu was not the kind of person who would take advantage of others' misfortunes, and there must be something hidden behind this. But since the emperor had granted the marriage, she didn't ask too much, but she felt that Meng Qingyu was a little aggrieved.

"She will be my wife in the future, so I will naturally respect her."

Meng Qingyu rubbed Mu Qing's head. There were some things she didn't say. In fact, weren't Qiao Linxi and him also forced to board the ship? Since they were all poor people, why not help each other? Not to mention love, the minimum thing to do is to respect each other.

As the two were talking, Qiao Wan'er and Xu Yanzhou arrived.

When Xu Yanzhou saw that the woman in the private room was Mu Qing instead of Qiao Linxi, a thought flashed through his mind, but the thought flashed too quickly and disappeared before he could think about it.

Then he didn't think any more about it, greeted Meng Qingyu and sat down.

As the host, Meng Qingyu took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Xu Yanzhou, and then said: "Mr. Xu, please forgive me for inviting you so abruptly. I just think that since we are brothers-in-law in the future, we should get to know each other better."

Xu Yanzhou took the wine and continued, "How could that be? If Master Meng didn't invite me today, I would have invited you. We didn't have any contact in the past, but now that we are a family, we should naturally interact more."

Qiao Wan'er looked at the handsome Meng Qingyu and felt jealous. Xu Yanzhou was good, but he was a bastard after all, and his temperament was not comparable to Meng Qingyu's.

"I really envy Mr. Xu and Miss Qiao. You are cousins ​​and husband and wife, and you will definitely live happily in the future."

Mu Qing interrupted and then pouted as if to complain: "I also want to marry cousin Yu, but my aunt doesn't agree."

"Miss Mu is now 15 years old, right? Have you found a suitable young man?"

Qiao Wan'er knew that Mu Qing was the daughter of Marquis Ding'an and had a noble status. It was great that she also wanted to marry Meng Qingyu.

Although Meng Qingyu and Qiao Linxi are engaged, Mu Qing can go and cause trouble. Although she cannot change the fact that Meng Qingyu will marry Qiao Linxi, she can at least disgust Qiao Linxi.

She was also a woman, and she knew that women had a natural hatred for other women, not to mention that Mu Qing wanted to marry Meng Qingyu. Now that Qiao Linxi had gotten there first, how could Mu Qing not hate Qiao Linxi?

I can only say that Qiao Wan'er is acting too much and thinking too much.

Mu Qing just thought that Meng Qingyu was a good person and his mother was her aunt, so she would definitely not be wronged if she married him in the future.

Hearing this, Mu Qing glanced at Meng Qingyu, then blushed and lowered her head: "Marriage is something I can decide for myself. My parents' orders and the matchmaker's words are final. I will marry the young man my parents choose for me in the future."

Hearing Mu Qing's slightly regretful tone, Qiao Wan'er laughed even more happily. She asked jokingly, "Miss Mu, do you have an ideal husband?"

"I think, I think Cousin Yu is good enough."

"That's a pity. Master Meng is going to marry the princess."

"Don't mention her marriage, Master Xu. I'll toast you a glass. From now on, you and I will be a family. Please take good care of her, Master Xu."

Meng Qingyu took the wine and drank it in one gulp.

"No, no, Wan'er and I are counting on Master Meng and the princess to take good care of us."

"In the future, Master Xu will still be my brother-in-law."

Several people were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was pretty good.

None of them drank too much, and after drinking a little, they had dinner. Afterwards, Meng Qingyu suggested going boating. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sun was not so hot, and the osmanthus flowers on the Cuiyu Lake were in full bloom.

So the four of them left the private room and walked out through the busy hall. When they reached the door, Meng Qingyu went to pay the bill and saw a plaque next to it, saying that people in need could eat for free in the restaurant.

"Boss, this restaurant also provides free meals."

Coincidentally, this restaurant is the one that Qiao Linxi joined.

Seeing Meng Qingyu asking, the shopkeeper replied with a smile: "Young Master, you don't know, our restaurant was funded by Princess Huai'an. She provided exclusive recipes and we are responsible for the operation of the restaurant. Princess Huai'an never interferes with the management, but has only one request. That is, our restaurant must set up a gratitude account book to provide free meals to those who are in trouble and hungry."

Meng Qingyu was very surprised. Isn't Princess Huai'an Qiao Linxi? She actually has such a broad mind.

"Won't there be people who are greedy for small gains and come here to eat and drink for free?"

Meng Qingyu was puzzled, this was a losing business.
