Chapter 102: Bringing Xu An in Disguise to Meet His Parents
In the living room on the first floor, Xu Anhao sat in front of the guzheng, his slender ten fingers bouncing on the strings.
Don't look at the men and women in costume dramas who play the guqin with their bare hands, in fact, this is very unscientific, normally the strings of the guzheng are very sharp, and there is no way to play without a righteous armor.
Therefore, Tang Li is very well prepared, and even the prosthetic armor is equipped, so that Xu An can perform well without hurting her hands, and it would be better if it could be a good thing.
Gu Shengze and Tang Yu stared at Xu Anhao tightly, compared to her person, the beating notes in her ears had become less important, although it was really good.
She's such a treasure girl!
Not only can she jump and play, but she can also play chess and calligraphy, Gu Shengze can no longer express her remorse in words, why didn't she express herself well before?
Tang Yu's mind also moved slightly, it was really a gift from God that such an excellent girl could be met by him, he must chase her down and let her be his little wife.
Gu Shengxi was surprised, and gently tugged at Gu Shengze's sleeve, "Brother...... Is this really Xu An, okay? I'm not dreaming, is she? She can actually play the guzheng?"
Suddenly, Gu Shengze was rarely angry, but lowered his voice to explain, "She has more talents than you, don't underestimate her!"
Gu Shengxi was very puzzled, "Then why didn't she behave well in front of us before, she would only haunt you, isn't this the wrong way?"
"I don't know, but the past follows the wind, what we have to look at is the present and the future!" Gu Shengze stopped the topic, "Enjoy it well, go back and tell your parents." ”
"Then I'd better shoot a small video, so that it will be more convincing!" Gu Shengxi took out his mobile phone and pointed it at Xu Anhao, and after speaking, he began to record the video.
Gu Shengze didn't speak, and waited until Gu Shengxi finished filming before whispering, "Give me a copy of the hair back, and I want all her photos and videos." ”
Gu Shengxi guessed that he definitely wanted it, so he deliberately took some more, photos and videos, and immediately prepared to send them when he heard the words, "I'll send it to you now!"
There were people whispering around, some of which were talking about Xu Anhao, and Gu Shengze and Tang Yu couldn't help but prick up their ears and listen quietly.
"Who is this girl, and she's pretty looking?"
"I don't know, but this guzheng plays well and has a good temperament. ”
"I heard that she is the daughter of the Xu family of Rongying Group, and she is currently studying at Jiangcheng University. ”
"I seem to have heard of this group, and my dad said that he wanted to cooperate, but then I don't know what happened. ”
"I'm still a student, I'm young, I don't know if I have a boyfriend, it just so happens that my family is urging me to find a partner, I think she's a good choice......"
Upstairs, Mrs. Tang and the others were listening and looking at Xu Anhao, while still talking in a whisper, they were quite satisfied with her, and even Qiao Shumin was a lot more relieved.
Since knowing that Tang Yu likes Xu Anhao, Qiao Shumin has asked around about Xu Anhao's news, and the feedback she got is good, but after all, seeing is believing.
"It's pretty good.,Seems to be a versatile girl.。 Tang Lin said with a smile, "Find a chance for Ah Li to bring it up and take a look, you can't see anything from this distance." ”
Qiao Shumin nodded immediately, "Okay, I'll contact Ah Li first, I heard Ah Yu say that Miss Xu can also play chess, or let her accompany her father to play two games." ”
Although Old Man Qiao didn't say anything about Tang Yu's marriage, he was very concerned in his heart, "Yes, you can not only see her chess skills, but also her character." ”
The old lady snorted and glanced at the old man, "I thought I didn't care about my old man at all!"
The old man's eyes were full of doting, "Am I reluctant to care about the child you gave birth to? It is not only the meat that fell from your body, but also the change you got back from the ghost gate!"
The old lady looked a little embarrassed, "What do you say in front of a child, and you're not a young man, and you didn't say that when you were young!"
The old man smiled, "Wasn't it embarrassing at that time?"
The old lady was not polite to him at all, "Then why are you embarrassed now? People are old and thick-skinned, do you dare to say anything numb?"
The old man smiled, "You're really direct, but seeing you like this, shouldn't you not like it?"
The old lady became more and more embarrassed, "What are you talking nonsense, who is happy in their hearts? Don't be ashamed in front of the children, the older you get, the more shameless you become!"
Tang Lin relieved the old man in time, "The old husband and wife are still showing affection, are you bullying my man and not around?
Tang Qi also smiled to mediate the old lady's embarrassing atmosphere, "If he wants to come over, he still needs you to bring it?"
Tang Li hurriedly spoke to his man, "Isn't this a lack of time? tonight's entertainment is very important, he really can't push it, otherwise how can he be absent from such a thing as looking at Ah Yu's sweetheart?"
Tang Qi turned on the mode of brother and sister scolding each other, "You are the one who likes to join in the fun, right? Zhou Rui is not such a boring person." ”
"Who are you bored?" Tang Lin put on a straight face and feigned anger, "We care about Ah Yu, do you think that we are all like you, all we have in our minds is work? ”
"That's it, if it weren't for you, wouldn't Xiao Han still have a girlfriend?" Qiao Shumin helped, "How can I be a mother-in-law and hold my grandchildren?" I'm dying!"
Tang Qi really can't open any pot, "Why are you in a hurry, it's your parents who are in a hurry now, Ah Yu doesn't have a word yet, he is not married when he is an uncle, what is the hurry when he is a nephew?"
"Knowing that Ah Yu is not married, then you don't have a snack!" The old lady blew her beard and glared, "It doesn't matter if the woman doesn't arrange it for him, so Shumin is worried about it, and you even let him work and take up time!"
"......" Tang Qi was aggrieved, "I don't want him to work, it's him who wants to cooperate with Xiangzhou, this project is his next, I can't stop him, right?"
The old man came forward to play a round, "Okay, women are important, and work can't be delayed, why don't you take anything to support women?
In the time between their conversations, Xu Anhao had already finished the song, and there was warm applause around him, most of them really felt very good, and a few of them were polite applause.
Tang Li stepped forward with a smile and intimately took Xu Anhao's hand, "An An, you played so well, although I heard it once in the musical instrument store last time, I was still shocked this time." ”
Xu Jingting said as if people praised him, "Of course, last time An An just played a few casually and tried the piano, but this time he played a serious song." ”
Tang Yu also smiled and praised Xu Anhao, "An An plays so well, I should be shocked every time I listen to it, An An, you are so good, you are a versatile lady." ”
Xu Jingting took the opportunity to send out an invitation, "Third Master, if you like to listen to An An play the piano, you can go to my house with Ah Li on the weekend, and we promise to eat and drink well." ”
Xu Anhao knew that Xu Jingting wanted to get in touch with Tang Liduo, so he hurriedly created an opportunity for him, "Uncle, Ah Li, if you have time to go to our house to play, I just bought a chessboard, but my parents and brothers don't like to play chess, and no one accompanies me." ”
Tang Li was worried about what reason to take Xu An up, so he sent it to the door, "An An likes to play chess, then let's go up, there is not only a chessboard upstairs, but I can also find you an opponent." ”
Xu Anhao was a little embarrassed, feeling that it was not good to go to someone else's party but go to another place, "This is not good, after all, it is your brother's birthday party, how can I ......?"
Tang Li smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, isn't the party just for fun? It doesn't make a difference whether it's here or upstairs, besides, I don't know these people very well, they are all friends of my brother and cousin." ”
She said and gave Tang Yu a look, and Tang Yu echoed the meeting, "Seriously, I'm just a little familiar with a few of you, or let's go up and play for a while, it's not bad to play a few games." ”
Xu Jingyu understood what Tang Yu's uncle and nephew meant, and this was clearly to take the opportunity to take Xu An to meet the "parents", maybe this was the reason why the Tang family invited them to the birthday party.
Tang Yu and Gu Shengze are both good men, Xu Jingyu doesn't know who to choose, and he doesn't have the right to choose, but if he has the opportunity, he will still grasp it for her.
So he smiled and persuaded Xu Anhao, "An An, or you can go up and play with Tang Sanye and Miss Tang, or you will probably doze off when we men talk about work." ”
Although Xu Jingxuan had the intention to help Gu Shengze, this was indeed an opportunity for Xu Anhao, and Tang Yu was indeed very good to her, and he was also happy to see them achieve positive results.
So he echoed Xu Jingyu, "Yes, An An, we don't know much at chess, it's rare to find an opponent, the third master and Miss Tang are so enthusiastic, you can go up and play for a while." ”
"An An, go ahead, I really can't accompany you when I play chess!" Xu Jingting actually wanted to go up and have a look, but he knew that he didn't have that qualification, unless he married Tang Li back home.
Gu Shengze stood with them, and when he heard Tang Li's words, he had a very bad premonition in his heart, and guessed that this was a disguised meeting with his parents, and even Xu Anhao's performance just now was in their eyes.
But he can't stop it, he is not Xu Anhao, the three brothers of the Xu family have all expressed their positions, and this is not his territory, what qualifications does he have to stand up?
Gu Shengxi was very anxious for Gu Shengze, and finally moved his heart to a woman, even if this woman was Xu Anhao, she accepted it, but Lang You's concubine had no intention.
Xu Anhao finally followed Tang Yu's uncle and nephew upstairs and entered the Tang family's tea room, which is generally used by family members to sit together and chat and drink tea, which is a little warmer than the reception room.
The moment they pushed the door open, five people appeared in front of them, it was Mr. and Mrs. Tang, Mr. and Mrs. Tang Qi, and Tang Lin, they were all waiting here.
Tang Li pretended not to know that they would be here, and pretended to be surprised and widened his eyes, "Grandparents, parents, aunts, why are you all here?"
Qiao Shumin cooperated with her daughter's performance, "It's not good for us to participate in your excitement at such an old age, so we got together to drink tea and chat, Ah Li, who is this young lady?"
"This is my good friend Xu Anhao with my uncle. Tang Li said and introduced them to Xu Anhao, "An An, this is my grandparents, parents and aunts. ”
"Hello, excuse me!" Although Xu Anhao was facing a few strangers, he did not show any crampedness, but greeted him generously.
This first impression made Qiao Shumin very satisfied, because according to her initial understanding of Xu Anhao, it was impossible for Xu Anhao to do such a polite thing.
Tang Li timely brought out his true purpose of taking Xu Anhao upstairs, "We originally brought An An up to play chess with our uncle, but I didn't expect you to be in the tea room." ”
Qiao Shumin continued to cooperate with the performance, "Playing chess? Isn't that your grandfather's favorite entertainment? It's a pity that I don't know much about your grandmother, and your father and your brother are busy with work, so no one usually accompanies your grandfather." ”
Tang Li pursed his lips, "Yes, my uncle's chess skills are good, but when he finally returned to China, he was taken by my father and my brother, and he knew his work all day long, and he didn't accompany his grandfather!"
Xu An saw that their family was happy, and he seemed to be out of place as an outsider, and he was thinking about what excuse to go down, but the spearhead was pointed at her.
Tang Yu looked at Xu Anhao tenderly, and asked her with extremely gentle words, "An An, my dad is an old chess fan, do you want to accompany my dad to play a few games?"
Tang Li hurriedly helped, "Yes, An An, why don't you play with my grandfather for a while? If you meet an opponent in chess, you can come often in the future, and maybe you can teach me." ”
Xu Anhao felt a little wrong, although there is a saying that no coincidence is not a book, but this is too coincidental, right? She also said that she hoped that Tang Yu would stay and play chess with the old man, and she went downstairs.
However, the people of the Tang family were very enthusiastic about her, which made her feel very warm, thinking that it should be no problem to play a few games of chess, anyway, she had played with Old Man Gu before, so she agreed.
Playing chess is a very easy thing for Xu Anhao, she started playing chess at the age of six, and she doesn't have to learn so many things like modern people, she has learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting for more than ten years.
Therefore, even in the face of an old chess fan like Mr. Tang, she will not feel how difficult it is to deal with, after all, in her world, there are many masters of hand talk, and people are called professional.
Out of politeness, Xu Anhao secretly put some water in the first game, but she did it very secretly, and ordinary people couldn't see it at all, because making chess is also a kind of technical work.
For example, Tang Li didn't see it, Tang Qi didn't find the clues, and even Old Man Tang and Tang Yu only discovered the clues later, and secretly sighed that she was amazing.
It is a skill in itself to make the chess team unaware, and Xu Anhao's move has added a lot of impression points to them, which makes the old man like it.
When this game of chess finally came to an end, Xu Anhao was not arrogant or impatient, but smiled and admitted defeat to him, "Mr. Tang is one higher in chess, I lost this game!"
Old Man Tang smiled kindly, "Lose the chess game, win the character, little girl, you are very good, but you can't quietly let the old man's chess in the next game!"
Xu Anhao knew that he should be able to see it, because his chess skills were really good, so he didn't deny it, "Old man, please rest assured, I will do my best." ”
In the second game of chess, Xu Anhao didn't concede chess again, but he didn't really go all out, and she didn't know if this old man Tang saw it.
The old man is already so old, and he is surrounded by his family and grandchildren, she thinks it is better to lose, so as not to make him lose face.
Besides, she really thinks it's not good to stay here, the family is happy, and it's so inconvenient for her to be an outsider, so let's go downstairs quickly.
So at the end of the second game, she admitted defeat very calmly, "The old gentleman is so good, I lost again, or let the uncle accompany you in the next few rounds." ”
Old Man Tang looked at Xu Anhao meaningfully, "The old man has been playing chess for decades, and the little girl is only in her twenties, so the amazing thing is that you are not me!"
Although he was busy taking care of business when he was young and didn't play chess much, he didn't have time until Tang Qi took over the business, but he did play chess longer than Xu An.
Tang Li smiled and agreed, "Yes, An An, you are much better than Uncle, because Uncle lost faster than you, and I look like you almost won this game." ”
Tang Yu nodded, "It's really just a little bit, An An, you can accompany my dad in the next game, I feel that you should win the next game, I rarely see anyone win my dad." ”
The old lady and the other three women were really not interested in playing chess, they didn't pay much attention to the chess game, but paid attention to Xu Anhao's speech and behavior almost the whole time.
Xu Anhao has been in this world for some days, and his behavior has changed, but he was born and raised in that world, and some things are engraved in his bones.
For example, she does behave more and more like a modern person in the Xu family, but outside, in the face of unfamiliar people, she will still follow her etiquette from elementary school.
So tonight's performance is in the eyes of Mrs. Tang and a few of them, she is a standard lady and lady, and her etiquette is so thoughtful that they don't even have to choose.
As the so-called three women in one play, the three of them glanced at each other, and soon found an excuse to go out, and Xu Anhao and their third game started again.
There were three fewer people in the tea room all of a sudden, and Xu Anhao had already lost two games in a row, so she neither let the chess nor pretend to go all out in this game, but really worked hard.
Downstairs at this time, Gu Shengze glanced up at the stairs from time to time to see if Xu An had come down, although he knew that it was impossible to be so fast, but he just couldn't help it.
Gu Shengxi didn't open any pot and mentioned which pot, "Brother, Xu Anhao is going to see his parents, right? She hasn't come down for so long, they should be very satisfied with her, otherwise they would have driven people down." ”
If it was Xu Anhao in the past, with her heavenly appearance, her temper that makes trouble when she disagrees, and her annoying character, can the Tang family tolerate her for a few minutes?
Of course, Tang Yu would not like such a good Xu An, so how could she have the opportunity to meet the people of the Tang family?
Gu Shengze frowned, "What are you here for tonight? I'll let you take the opportunity to meet some new friends, what are you always doing with me, do you want me to introduce you?"
Gu Shengxi was very aggrieved, "Brother, I don't know many people here, judging from the identity of the Tang family, their family background must be very good, I don't want to climb high!"
Just as the brothers of the Xu family came over with wine glasses, Xu Jingting whispered, "When can An An come down, this party is not fun at all, those people are more and more annoying than the other!"
They wanted to know a few more people at this party, but the Xu family's reputation was not good, and basically no one was willing to make friends with them, so they had a lot of work for a while.
Xu Jingxuan comforted Xu Jingting, "Forget it, since this is the case, we won't climb high, find a quiet place to sit down and wait for An Bao, if it weren't for the face of the third master, we wouldn't come." ”
