Zhenjiang this place, although it is the ancestral home of Shi Yi's father, but they do not come back often, similar to most cities in the south of the Yangtze River, there are lakes, there will be temples, there will be high and low mountains and stories, the car drives by the lake, you can see the Jinshan Temple in the distance, in the rain curtain, hazy, the morning is still cloudy, and now there is a sign of heavy rain; Will it stop around here? Or will it continue to drive? Every few minutes, she guesses if the car will stop at any time; Unfortunately, the car went all the way south to the mountain, and there was no sign of stopping. The road in the mountains and forests, rendered by rain and mist, is very pleasant.

"My mother," Wang Chennan suddenly spoke, "she may be a little cold to you." Shi Yi listened to his tone, a little serious, and couldn't help but get nervous again: "Because my family is too ordinary?" "It's not you, it's my family that's special." It's obvious. Shi Yi unconsciously turned the gold-inlaid jade bracelet on his wrist: "Is there any taboo then?" For example, your mother, don't like what people say? Or have you met, what do you need to pay special attention to? "There's no taboo," he said, "and my family isn't a beast. It's just that you're not the girl she knows, and maybe, she'll need some time to get to know you. She groaned. I thought of what he had said: "You say, you have my complete information? Even my family. "It's detailed," he said simply, "it's detailed, from your childhood to adulthood, every year." ”

Shi Yi couldn't believe it, "We-" He seemed to remember the day he first met, and said with a slow smile, "The acquaintance is too special, so it takes some necessary procedures to get to know you." She didn't expect that such a romantic thing would be approached by him as if he was intentionally approaching; But after a few seconds, she was relieved, she really approached with intention, if she said that she didn't mean to, I'm afraid she wouldn't even believe it. He rested his elbow on a wooden armrest, and he owed a debt as if he wanted to take off his coat. Because of his height, the space in the car is not enough for him to stretch, and the movement of taking it off is slightly uncomfortable. Shi Yi easily pulled the sleeve on one side for him and helped him take it off. Two people, one felt bound and took off his coat, and the other just helped casually. She just helped with it, and the clothes were in her hands. There was still a slight temperature, she hugged it, and suddenly it was a little faint; "I'll get it." Wang Chennan said, he had already taken it and put it on his lap.

Just such a small episode, inexplicably between the two people, there is a little closeness, she feels that her heart is beating a little dry, tilts her head, and continues to look at the mountains and forests planted by the rain and fog, she really can't forget him, and what about him? Why did you get engaged all of a sudden? If, as he said, it is "necessary to be engaged to a person", then why is it needed. She only thought about these questions in hindsight, and she didn't know how to be an unmarried couple between herself and him. Wang Chennan looked at her as if she was distracted, and she didn't bother anymore, he was used to being alone, and of course he was used to not disturbing others.

When she finally saw the appearance of scattered buildings, she also heard Wang Chennan say: "Slowly you will understand, I am not questioning you, these are some necessary procedures." He spoke calmly and gently, in nothing out of the ordinary, but clearly to make her comfortable. Shi Yi turned around and smiled at him: "Slowly you will also understand, I am a very generous person, and I am not very angry about small things." "The car was parked in front of a very quaint old house, and there was someone waiting at the door. When he got out of the car, he handed the suit to the young man waiting at the door, the umbrella was propped up in his hand, he turned to look at Shi Yi, and made a gesture of gently hooking his arms: "In this way, is it okay?" She bowed her head, feeling that the two of them really looked like they were acting.

Wang Chennan slightly gripped his chest, accommodating the height at which she came out of the car, Shi Yi stretched out a leg, stepped on the wet floor tiles, and quickly grabbed his forearm. She was wearing a long-sleeved cheongsam, and he was wearing a thin shirt, and although they were separated by two layers of light fabric, they could still feel each other's body temperature; She was so excited that she walked out more than a dozen steps before she took a serious look at the place where the hospital was placed, although it was an old house, but the drainage was very good. Such a heavy rain, all the way in, there was no standing water; "You've lived here since you were a child?" She obsessively surveyed the scene. "Before I was fourteen, I lived for a while," he said, "not for long." She nodded.

Because he said that he had lived here, he suddenly felt that the old house under the rain curtain was more kind. From time to time, I can meet some people who walk by in a hurry, all passing by the side door and the path, and when they see Wang Chennan, they will stop walking, owe their bodies, and they will not be silent when they are far away, and they will call the young master if they are close. Shi Yi listened to such a mysterious word, and aimed at him with his spare eyes, but the latter was very cold, and most of the time he didn't react. Only said to the young man who led the way, go directly to the eldest lady.

Wang Chennan, who was in a hurry at the airport, Wang Chennan, who occasionally talked and laughed in Qinglong Temple, and Wang Chennan, who was a little mysterious in Suzhou, all have nothing to do with the current person. It wasn't until the two of them walked into the rain shelter that someone carefully wiped off the water stains on their shoes, and this feeling became clearer and clearer; There were more than a dozen middle-aged women and girls in the rain shelter, all chuckling and chatting, and when they walked in, they all got up or sat upright. All eyes fell on her vaguely, except for the woman sitting on a wicker chair in the northwest corner, and there was no change; Just looking at her demeanor and sitting posture, Shi Yi could barely guess that this middle-aged woman who looked very dignified was Wang Chennan's mother; While she was guessing, the woman had already spoken: "Who is this young lady?" "She's just the right time." Wang Chennan clasped her hand and held it gently.

Everyone looked surprised, even a little surprised, obviously not too understanding. Shi Yi heard his heart pounding violently against his chest, uneasy and apprehensive. Wang Chennan's mother looked at her for a few seconds, and laughed slightly, slowly: "Miss Shi Yi, hello." "Hello, aunt." She said that the quiet voice gently hit everyone's ears, and she allowed herself to smile as humbly as possible, accepting his mother's scrutiny, and the loud sound of rain rendered the atmosphere of the moment. I don't know why, she thinks that his mother is not as simple as he said "cold", but really doesn't like herself, and what happened next also verified this fact. Wang Chennan's mother just asked her very kindly if she had had lunch, and after knowing that Shi Yi had not eaten, she naturally said softly: "Miss Shi Yi, I'm very sorry, these seven days are the cold food days of Wang Chen's family, and there will be no open fire to cook food, so I won't leave you for lunch, so let my son come to the friendship of the landlord and choose a suitable place in Zhenjiang to entertain you, okay?" She didn't have a choice at all, just a few words of greeting.

Just looked at his mother, supported by others, got up from the rattan chair, and wrapped her shawl neatly: "I'm sorry, Miss Shi Yi." She still smiled, and after bowing her head slightly at Shi Yi, she gently patted Wang Chennan's right arm: "After sending Miss Shi Yi back, come and talk to my mother, I haven't seen you for a long time, our mother and son are estranged." Wang Chennan's voice did not have any emotion: "I may not come back tonight." "If you don't have time tonight, it's tomorrow morning." The mother and son crossed their eyes, and she left the rain shelter, leaving the pavilion with irrelevant people, and continued to look at the time with different expressions. Even though they were prepared, they were still embarrassed. Wang Chennan shook her hand and quickly took her away, such a well-dressed and eagerly awaited meeting, it ended in such a hurry, Shi Yi was inevitably silent, and let Wang Chennan take him to dinner.

The quaint private room is on the second floor, facing the lake, she didn't eat much, just drank hot tea, watching him eat, Shi Yi thinks that sometimes watching her favorite person eat is also a kind of happiness! The more he comes into contact with him, the more he can see that his tutor must have been very good since he was a child, and even the gesture of holding bamboo chopsticks and the habit of picking vegetables are very strict. There is arbitrariness in the rules, which is probably due to his character. "I thought that if I told you her reaction beforehand, you would be ready," Wang Chennan took a sip of tea and said indifferently, "at least I won't be so upset." She smiled awkwardly: "I didn't expect your mother to reject me so much." ”

"In her eyes, my engagement is a very important thing, and as early as my teens, I have chosen some suitable wife candidates," he leaned back in his chair lightly, and his tone was true, "A person who began to prepare gifts more than ten years ago, only to find that in the end it was useless, and loss is always inevitable." She suddenly wondered that his mother looked at her with doubts and loss. However, it is really unheard of to start choosing a wife more than ten years ago. "She picks a few, and then she'll give you the final pick?" He took a sip of his tea, deliberately ignoring the question. She lowered her head and wondered why he always had an unapproachable background. However, it is only in this way that he can be regarded as worthy of him. "Still angry?" He asked her. Shi Yi pursed his lips and wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh, so he had to joke and say, "No, I'm just curious, how will your family let you pick your wife." "Curious?" "A little," she deliberately made it difficult, "if you will tell me about it, I might be interesting to listen to, and I won't be angry." He seemed to be thinking. Soon turned his head sideways, summoned the middle-aged driver who was waiting at the door, and said something. The driver couldn't help but smile and glanced at Shi Yi inexplicably. When the two of them got into the car, the driver suddenly handed over a very heavy folder, which was temporarily returned to pick it up. Shi Yi opened it and saw that it was a very detailed character introduction. Perhaps, the person who prepared the book did not like the feeling of high-definition photographs, and the text was matched by various handmade portraits.

"Is there anyone who is willing to print his daughter here like this for you to see?" She would be awkward when she turned over like this, I really couldn't imagine that Wang Chennan would hold these, and someone next to her would ask him who he would have a good impression of. "It's all a family friend of Wang Chen's family." He replied. She sighed, and then embarrassed to flip down: "You really look like a prince and general in the past, and the rules for marrying a wife are so complicated." "Choosing the daughter of the family and matching the birth date is a very orthodox way, but if it appears in the 21st century, will it be too mysterious? What kind of family does he have to make these daughters willing to present portraits, although Shi Yi has heard that there are many family businesses now, all with their own huge families, and there are always girls who will be raised in the boudoir, born for the right marriage; Although she is hearsay, she also understands that such a suitable marriage match requires absolute asset gravity. The more she thought about it, the more she wanted to see him. Wang Chennan moved his gaze to her hand: "These two rings, are the sizes suitable for you?" Shi Yi gently turned the ring with his fingers and replied truthfully: "It's a little looser, but it won't fall off." He nodded. What's wrong? "I probably know your size, and when it comes to picking an engagement ring, you won't go wrong."
