On Saturday afternoon, before Ding Rui and Jia Dan left the hotel and went out, they repeatedly checked their clothes, sorted them out, and tidied them up. Both of them knew that this trip was not just about having dinner together, but about being meaningful.

The couple drove from Jinmen to the capital yesterday, and then stayed in an executive suite in a five-star hotel closest to Jia's mansion.

Ding Rui looked at the watch on his right wrist, pinched the time and said, "It's almost time, let's go!"

So, Jia Dan left the hotel with her husband, but instead of driving her own car, she asked the doorman to call a taxi for them.

Once they got in the car, they told the driver where to go. Although most of the brothers in the capital are no longer locals, and most of them are outsiders, when they heard that the costumed passengers were going to the boundary where the Jia Mansion was located, their first reaction was to be impressed and couldn't afford to provoke them.

Of course, the brother in the capital has fully carried forward the mouth cannon mode that he is best at, as well as his love of inquiring blindly. Today, he pulled two nobles, and can he let go of such a good opportunity?

He did not make a big deal about what he knew about the sea, but instead repeatedly inquired whether there was any major event that would affect the whole country and even the world.

Even if Ding Rui told the truth that the couple was just going to visit relatives and have dinner, he didn't let his brother believe it at all, but made the latter more and more mistaken that something big would happen.

There was no detour, no excuses to say that there would be traffic jams here, where would be traffic jams, and the routines and excuses for taking this route were closer, and the two guests were directly sent to their destinations.

Ding Rui paid the money and didn't ask for change, so he got out of the taxi with his wife Jia Dan. They stood on the side of the road and tidied up a little again.

Just when Jia Dan was holding Ding Rui's right arm and walking towards the Jia Mansion, his brother was already driving, and he began to talk about the two nobles he had pulled today.

Then, he used his imagination to tell stories to his peers in combination with current national and international hot spots. It's a long-standing tradition.

When Ding Rui and Jia Dan walked to the gate of Jia's Mansion, a maid waited and greeted them early: "The two should be Mr. Ding Rui and Ms. Jia Dan respectively!"

Ding Rui and Jia Dan tacitly agreed to respond to the word "yes". Although the two did not have an invitation letter, the Jia Mansion was not a place for business to eat, and they were not allowed to enter without being invited by the host. Even if everyone is a relative, not everyone can enter and exit freely without being notified by the concierge.

The maid personally led the couple inward, through the front courtyard with its green alley and the scent of flowers, to the main gate.

She didn't walk in, with a trained professional smile on her face, but pushed the door open for them, and motioned for the two of them to enter.

Although Ding Rui and Jia Dan are people who have seen many scenes, it is the first time they are so nervous. This feeling is like a foreign minister being summoned to Beijing to meet the emperor.

As soon as they entered, they saw another maid appear. Then she led the two of them to the couch in the large living room on the first floor and sat down.

This is completely like the maid of Yihong Courtyard where Jia Baoyu lives in "A Dream of Red Mansions" said to a mother-in-law, here is half of the place where you go to me, and here is half of the place where I can't go. For this reason, it is also clear that the different levels of maids and the range of activities are also different.

"You two wait a minute, and I'll go and inform the eldest lady. The maid smiled slightly.

She is the second-class maid of the Jia Mansion, and the maid who led Ding Rui and Jia Dan to the main house is the third-class. As for a personal maid like Jiang Xueyan, she is naturally first-class.

There was no person like Old Man Zhao who waited for Jia Lingling in the flower hall for nearly two hours before seeing her. Even if the other party finally met, he didn't say a few words, and he found a big uncomfortable.

Jia Lingling walked downstairs, and Ding Rui and Jia Dan immediately stood up to greet her. She smiled and said, "Don't be so polite to your own family." ”

Ding Rui and Jia Dan are not hairy boys who have just stepped into society. There are also many occasions for them to socialize. Although there is no comparison in the ranks, the reason is the same.

Twenty or thirty years of relevant experience is not in vain. Jia Lingling said this, that is polite. If you believe it, it is transgression.

After Jia Lingling sat down on the main seat, she saw that they still hadn't sat down, so she motioned to them with her right hand down not to be too restrained: "Cousin sit, cousin-in-law sit." ”

While the husband and wife were sitting down, they said in unison: "Don't dare to be." ”

"What is there to dare not be. According to the chronological order of the family tree, you are indeed my cousin and cousin-in-law of Jia Youwei. Jia Lingling tried her best to be approachable and not add mental pressure to them.

Ding Rui and Jia Dan nodded with smiles on their faces. They thought in their hearts that what they said was too different from what they actually did.

In the past, every year to worship ancestors, they were ranked on the top of the tail, and they were also disliked by some people who were in the roots of the Jia family, and even sneered.

Presumably, from next year, the husband and wife will no longer be ranked on the tail, but will face forward by a large margin, and they should be able to rank in the middle, and there will be no one who does not want to see them. There are still people who will take the initiative to stick their cold butts with hot faces.

At this time, two maids respectively brought the English afternoon tea and all kinds of English pastries to the coffee table in front of them.

"It's still early, let's talk first. Jia Lingling said calmly.

Before she finished speaking, as soon as she raised her hand, she signaled Jiang Xueyan to bring the cup to herself. Although I drank afternoon tea at three o'clock, it didn't hurt to drink it again.

So, Jiang Xueyan comprehended, and personally poured most of the cup of black tea into the English teacup in front of the eldest lady. After she put down the English teapot, she picked up the cup with both hands and transferred it to the other person's hand.

"How many of you children?" Jia Lingling held the teacup in her hand, took a sip, and said lightly.

"Just a daughter. When we first responded to the government's family planning policy, we only gave birth to one honorable person. Jadan smiled.

"Now the two-child policy has been liberalized. I see that my cousin and cousin-in-law are still young, so I don't plan to have another one. Jia Lingling chatted about common things.

"Still young, not young. We're all middle-aged. Sister, you are a young man. Besides, children are the same. "Jadan spoke very decently.
