Chapter 269: War on the Tip of the Tongue
She picked up the usual tone again and said, "Oh, have you said it, why did your sister say anything to me that shouldn't be said, this is the first time we met, even if she doesn't like it, she won't say anything unpleasant, are you as big as your sister and don't even understand this bit of human sophistication?" ”
Hearing this, Gu Muhan hooked his lips and smiled, and the perfect outline seemed to soften a little.
"Your look makes me feel uneasy, so it's good if you don't."
"Of course not, let's go, let's eat, don't let my uncle and aunt wait for us!" Lan Wanyu hurriedly took his hand and walked up the steps with him.
Gu Muhan's dark eyes had a depth that could not be dissolved like ink, and he obviously questioned Lan Wanyu's answer.
Back in the house, the people have already served the dinner, the long dining table is full of sumptuous delicacies, with delicate plates, from a distance it looks like a beautiful work of art, close up, jade plate delicacies, swallow wings abalone belly, carved cockles and clams, can be described as a gluttonous feast with good color and taste. Foodies like Lan Wanyu always have no resistance to food, and they are already salivating immediately.
Gu Muhan knew that she was so thin, squinted at her useless appearance, and flicked her forehead affectionately with his fingers as if no one was around.
"Your saliva is about to flow down, I used to hear people salivate, I think it's an exaggeration, now I see you, hey......"
Stroking her sore forehead, Lan Wanyu looked back, but asked unhappily, "Hey, didn't you know me on the first day, don't you know that I like to eat?" ”
Gu Muhan snorted, "I really suspect that you were born on the two days of the Qingming Festival." ”
Lan Wanyu didn't realize that he was laughing at himself, and smiled, "I was born in those two days, you still don't know my birthday, how did you become a husband?" ”
A trace of helplessness flashed in Gu Muhan's deep eyes, and he was ashamed to admit that he was reincarnated as a starving ghost. He was so impressed by this woman's confusion that he really didn't know what to say except shaking his head and sighing.
When Qin Yueru saw them, she hurriedly stepped down the steps, stepped forward and took Lan Wanyu's hand affectionately, and said softly, "I was about to call the maid to invite you, come, Xiaoyu, I don't mind if my aunt calls you that, come and sit here." ”
The words fell, and regardless of whether Lan Wanyu wanted to or not, he pulled her to sit next to him, Gu Muhan glanced at Gu Xinian who didn't seem to care about them but seemed to be putting on a face, and finally sat down opposite her, which happened to be next to Lan Wanyu.
Everyone sat down and waited for Gu Hanqing to say that he would start the meal before moving the chopsticks.
Qin Yueru has always taken care of Lan Wanyu, and kept putting vegetables on the plate in front of her.
"Come, try this jade recipe, our chef's specialty."
Lan Wanyu glanced at the dish that she didn't know what it was, and hurriedly took it respectfully with the plate.
"Thank you, aunt!"
"You're welcome, there's this, Angelica black chicken, don't look at this dish ordinary, but there is a shadow of medicinal food, it's right to eat more as a woman."
"Thank you, aunt!" Lan Wanyu hurriedly took it again.
"This this, this cod, Norway's long-arm cod, the best of the cod, the meat can be tender, eat more."
"Thank you, aunt......"
Such a kind future mother-in-law took good care of Lan Wanyu, and when everyone at the table ate, they could hear the two of them talking.
Shen Jialin, who is sitting in the second main seat, goes back to his grandmother's house on weekdays, but he is the little emperor, and his grandfather takes turns to serve him vegetables.
"Grandma, that's my favorite food, why do you want to give it to ...... Aunt? The little guy yelled jealously, his mouth pouted, his eyes were complaining, and he didn't forget to snort dissatisfiedly at Lan Wanyu after he finished speaking.
Qin Yueru sighed lightly and said in a half-lesson tone, "You like to join in this kind of fun, you usually don't eat the vegetables you eat, but now you are so careful when you see your aunt eating?!" ”
Shen Jialin saw that his grandmother didn't make up for himself in time but scolded him, he couldn't stand it for a while, and dropped his chopsticks and shouted, "Don't eat it!" Then he climbed out of his chair and ran into the living room to get angry.
Gu Hanqing glanced at Lan Wanyu, then glanced at Gu Muhan, and saw that he did not make any comment on his nephew's angry departure, but instead ate comfortably, and snorted unhappily.
It was Lan Wanyu who put down her chopsticks very embarrassed, she wanted to persuade Shen Jialin, but was stopped by Qin Yueru, "It's okay, it's okay, you eat yours, Jialin is spoiled." ”
As soon as he heard this, Gu Xinian, who had been eating in a sullen voice, was not happy, and frowned and said unhappily, "Mom, what do you mean to be spoiled by me, Jialin just wants you to clip a dish for him, if you just give him something before, it will be over, but if you want to say that kind of thing, what does he know as a child, he doesn't just speak according to his usual living habits!" ”
After she said that, she glared at Lan Wanyu with resentment in her eyes, got up and wanted to coax her son back, when she suddenly heard a cold male voice from the opposite side, "The child will not die of hunger if he eats less, he dares to blackmail you if he doesn't eat, if you follow his wishes, he will threaten him with this if he is unhappy in the future, I see that you will not eat yet." ”
Although Gu Muhan's words were not too serious, after Gu Xinian heard it, he paused when he wanted to get up, I don't know if he was afraid of him or felt that this was reasonable, but he shouted at Shen Jialin in a slightly stern tone from afar, "Baby, come over and eat your meal!" ”
"Don't eat it!"
The little ancestor refused loudly, angrily clasped his hands in front of him, and swore to die not to return to the dinner table.
There was a low pressure in the restaurant, and Lan Wanyu was even more at a loss, because of the unhappiness caused by herself, she had been thinking about how to resolve this embarrassment, but she couldn't come up with a clever plan.
It was Gu Muhan who turned around and looked at Shen Jialin, and said softly, "Jialin, come over for dinner!" ”
Hearing his uncle's words, Shen Jialin was stunned for a moment, and did not refuse directly as before, but turned his head to look at him tentatively, and saw the fierceness hidden between his uncle's eyebrows, his mouth pursed, and he slowly stood up like a child who had done something wrong.
Gu Xinian snorted coldly in his heart, his resentment increased a lot, and his beautiful eyes also contained resentment, looking straight at Gu Muhan.
Shen Jialin walked back slowly, climbed into a chair and sat down, holding the rice bowl, eating only white rice, and stuffing it into his mouth one bite after another.
Gu Muhan felt the gaze on his body, looked back at Gu Xinian, and said lightly, "That's right, if you don't eat at your uncle's house, your uncle doesn't mind making you hungry, and this bowl of chopsticks will not give you a make-up meal after you receive it, understand?" ”
Shen Jialin nodded vigorously, but he didn't dare to look at Gu Muhan from beginning to end.
Shen Zhongyu gently tugged at Gu Xinian's skirt under the table, signaling her to rest quietly, and after a long time, Gu Xiniancai withdrew the gaze that stopped at Gu Muhan, took a deep breath, and picked up a piece of cod and put it on Shen Jialin's plate.
"Good son, eat cod."
Shen Jialin didn't speak, but he didn't pick up vegetables either.
Lan Wanyu glanced at the people around her, and he hooked his lips slightly at her, as if to soothe her uneasy emotions.
After that, Qin Yueru didn't give her any more food, and there was no one talking at the table, unlike her in her mother's house, there were always endless topics around the table, as if she could still be appetizing, sitting here, I couldn't swallow it.
Lan Wanyu didn't know if it was her own delusion, this Gu Xinian was so embarrassed for her before, but she was very afraid of Gu Muhan's appearance, with him, everyone was cautious.
She knew that as his woman, as long as she trusted him and relied on him, she would not be wronged in this family, because he was an absolute authority and had the confidence and strength to look down on everyone. But if she leaves him, her life will be hurt as much as she is favored by him!
"By the way, if you get married, how many relatives will Miss Lan's side come?" Shen Zhongyu also felt that today's dinner was depressing, so he simply found something to talk about to ease the atmosphere.
It's a good intention, but it seems that no matter what you say, if it falls into the ears of a woman who has to find trouble, she can always say something that makes people unhappy.
Lan Wanyu smiled indifferently, "I haven't been back to my hometown for many years, and I don't have much contact, and I don't think I can invite many people." ”
"It doesn't matter, if you want to make the wedding lively in the future, it's okay to go back and find it, our Gu family will be responsible for the food, housing and transportation of these relatives and friends in Li City."
Qin Yueru said this, and Gu Xinian on the other side couldn't help but talk more.
"What are the countrymen still contacting?"
Qin Yueru glared at her daughter fiercely, and then looked at Lan Wanyu, but she didn't smile.
If it was only her and Gu Xinian, she would really talk back, but in front of her uncle and aunt, she didn't pretend, she just gave them face, and she didn't want to quarrel with Gu Xinian.
What's wrong with the countrymen, she just said this because she didn't want the Gu family to feel that their relatives and friends were willing to come to touch their light, the poor also have backbone, and she didn't like Gu Xinian's character at all.
Qin Yueru was very angry about her daughter's lack of interest again, she really regretted that she shouldn't spoil this daughter to be lawless, now she looks at it and is completely spoiled, she pulled her upstairs and said so many plans before, why didn't she listen to a word? In case Gu Muhan gets angry, she sees who can stop her!
Shen Zhongyu also found that it was better not to speak, so the next dinner time was to eat their own and leave.
Gu Hanqing, who had been watching the changes, took the lead in eating, put down the dishes and chopsticks, put down his hands behind his back, and went upstairs directly.
Qin Yueru saw that Gu Xinian was eating about the same, so she made an excuse to let her take Jialin to her room to take a bath, and then took her daughter away.
Shen Zhongyu looked at it and shook his head, said sorry to Gu Muhan, and apologized to Lan Wanyu, "Miss Lan, don't be angry, your sister ......"
Lan Wanyu's eyes flashed, and she hurriedly shook her head, "Brother-in-law, you don't need to explain, in fact, I understand what the eldest sister means, and she has no malicious intentions, but maybe she has always been in that position, so that she will have some cognitive thinking inertia." ”
