Chapter 457: Relief
After resting at home for two days, accompanying his mother and visiting some relatives and friends, Chen Mingyuan set off for Sioux City.
Compared with the closed-door soup eaten last time, this time, the treatment given to him by the Mu family was undoubtedly several grades higher, and as soon as the car arrived at the national highway on the outskirts of Suzhou City, the black tower-like Rong Guard stood at the intersection and waited, guiding Chen Mingyuan all the way to Mujiayuan.
Pavilions and pavilions, mountains and stone pools, flowing water, green bamboo, the hall of Mujiayuan came from pieces of laughter.
Chen Guoliang, who was talking and laughing with Mu Lunyin and others, turned his head to catch a glimpse of Chen Mingyuan, the smile on his face became a little thicker, and beckoned: "Here, I'm talking about you." ”
Chen Mingyuan immediately stepped forward to greet the third uncle, and then turned around and saluted Mu Lunyin and the others one by one, and said with proper etiquette: "I stayed at home for two days, and I also asked Haihan." ”
"It's not too late, it's just the right time." Mu Lunyin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Besides, it's not a big show, it's just an old lady's birthday, the family gets together for a light meal, and by the way, invite a few acquaintances to be lively, so you don't need to talk about so many rules." ”
Mu Lunyin is indeed very good at dealing with people, the first half of the sentence cleverly exposes the embarrassing farce of the last time, and the second half of the sentence points out the Mu family's attitude towards Chen Mingyuan: The private family banquet is willing to invite you to an outsider to participate, and this subtext is self-evident!
After a few words of greeting, under Mu Lunyin's gesture, Chen Mingyuan sat next to Chen Guoliang, taking advantage of the gap, Yu Guang quickly looked around the audience, except for Mrs. Mu, as well as Mu Dingyin and Dong Zhenying, the rest of the main members of the Mu family were basically there.
Not far away, Mu Tianyu secretly squeezed his eyes at him, and at the same time gave a thumbs up, indicating that everything was going well.
Next to him, Mu Tianfengying stood upright, just raised his chin slightly towards Chen Mingyuan and said hello.
Mu Lunyin poured another cup of tea, looked at the two people of the Chen family, and smiled: "Your uncle and nephew really seem to be carved out of a mold, calm and capable, okay!" ”
Chen Guoliang just smiled humbly: "Director Mu praised it falsely, my talents are limited, and it is already good luck to be able to reach today's position, as for Mingyuan, I can hope that as long as he always demands himself and works harder, I don't know if Lu Dao will enter the central order in the future." ”
This remark is also decent, indirectly indicating the support of the family and faction for Chen Mingyuan, in other words, as long as Chen Mingyuan maintains the current momentum of development, as long as the qualifications are reached, it is certain that he will enter the center in the future!
Although the talents within the Chen family are currently withering, don't forget that there is also a Zhonghai system behind the Chen family, like Cen Ruiwen, that is, relying on the key support of this faction, he was promoted to the leader of the country and the party at this party congress!
The representatives of the two families communicated, Chen Mingyuan, these juniors, only listened attentively, and when the topic turned to himself, Chen Mingyuan also answered unhurriedly, without showing the slightest impatience.
This scene fell in Mu Lunyin's eyes, and he also secretly praised it, although the two families had reached a consensus on the marriage, and Chen Mingyuan was invited to finalize it this time, but he was still a little worried, worried that Chen Mingyuan was young and vigorous, and if he still cared about the cold reception last time, it would inevitably be estranged between the two families in the future!
At this time, Mrs. Mu, Mu Dingyin and others were absent, and they also wanted to wait for the two families to clear the remaining problems first.
And now Chen Mingyuan's uncle and nephew's calm attitude has finally reassured Mu Lunyin and the Mu family, and it also proves that Chen Mingyuan is open-minded and broad-minded, so that if he entrusts his sister to him, he can also feel at ease as an elder brother.
After chatting for a while, seeing that dusk was approaching, Mu Lunyin smiled and said: "It's not early, your uncle and nephew are probably a little tired all the way here, so let's go and rest for a while, and when the food is served, I will ask you to invite you." ”
"Uncle, I'll send them." Mu Tianran took the initiative to apply.
Mu Lunyin hesitated for a moment and agreed with a smile.
"Uncle Chen, there is a tea shop in the backyard, you can rest in it for a while, if you feel bored, I can also arrange someone to play chess with you......" Along the corridor, Mu Tianran led people to the backyard while explaining in a colorful way.
"It's just to pass the time, and you don't need to go through so much trouble." Chen Guoliang said with a smile, glanced at Chen Mingyuan, and said: "Okay, I know the way, just walk over by yourself, the two of you have met once, and you must have something to say, so I won't be disappointed." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Mu Tianran to respond, Chen Guoliang should go forward first, he could see that Mu Tianran had something to say to Chen Mingyuan privately, remembering that these two children had been randomly ordered Mandarin Duck Spectrum, and there were several twists and turns, but now Chen Mingyuan is married to Mu Tianran's aunt, and it is inevitable that there will be some embarrassment here.
This can be faintly seen from the absence of Mu Dingyin and his wife.
Now that the marriage of the two families is imminent, it is better to take this opportunity to let the two young people speak clearly, rather than continue to entangle themselves with this misunderstanding.
Looking at the back of the third uncle's departure, Chen Mingyuan smiled slightly bitterly, then turned his head, and saw Mu Tianran staring at himself with Shui Lingling's big eyes, and there seemed to be a little cowardice and shame on his pretty face.
"This time...... Thank you very much. There was silence for a while, and Chen Mingyuan could only say a sentence that was not nutritious.
Mu Tianran shook his head and said in a low voice: "You said it before, so there is no need to say thank you so many times." After a pause, she squeezed out a little smile and said crisply: "It's me, I have to congratulate you in turn, I finally got what I wanted." ”
Chen Mingyuan wanted to speak and stopped: "Your parents ...... them"
"Don't worry, they're not the kind of people with small stomachs, it's purely a delay in business." Mu Tianran put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Besides, it's been so long, these things have long been the old yellow calendar, you don't have to mention it anymore, people, you should always look forward." ”
Looking at her clear smile, Chen Mingyuan couldn't help but feel relieved, and said as he walked: "By the way, I heard Tianyu say, you were admitted to graduate school?" ”
"Well, the legal profession." Mu Tianran chuckled and said: "Originally, after graduation, my mother wanted to arrange for me to go to work in the procuratorate, but I thought that the work there was boring, so I planned to study for a few more years, and by the way, find a law firm to study, and strive to become a public interest lawyer in the future." ”
"It's a big ambition, but the road is quite difficult."
"I understand, but the road is your own choice, no matter how difficult it is, you have to go hard."
Mu Tianran smiled skillfully, suddenly stared at him, and said softly: "You must know that I am no longer a child." ”
Chen Mingyuan looked at the perseverance and expectation in her face, and his heart slammed, but he didn't know what to say.
Mu Tianran shook his head, pressed those little emotions, pointed to the courtyard behind the arch, and said, "My sister-in-law has been waiting in there for a long time, so I won't join in the fun." ”
Chen Mingyuan nodded, turned around and walked inside.
Mu Tianran kept looking at his figure and disappeared behind the arch, only to reluctantly retract his eyes, and was about to turn away, when he found out that Mu Tianyu didn't know when Lu Dao was following behind, and he was also looking inside, and said with a thought: "Sister, you say...... Is it worth it? ”
Mu Tianran's cheeks turned red, and he said with a little emptiness: "You, what do you mean?" ”
"What else could it be like?" Mu Tianyu rubbed his chin and grinned: "You think, we finally facilitated the marriage of these two, but in the end, we still have to pinch our noses and call him uncle, it's not cost-effective!" ”
Mu Tianran breathed a sigh of relief, and then glared at the heartless brother angrily, and said coquettishly: "Since you think about it so long-term, why don't you want to think about whether people are willing to recognize you as a nephew?" After saying that, he pursed his lips and left sullenly.
Mu Dagongzi was still unable to let go, shook his head and said: "I'm embarrassed to say that you, the blind date, haven't you become someone's niece in a blink of an eye...... Oh, no, if this marriage is completed, won't the generations of this kid's seven aunts and eight aunts also have to ride on their heads, wouldn't it be a loss to the family? ”
