Chapter 549: Coming to the Door
Shen Changan obviously thought the same way, his eyebrows fluttered with a smile, and he boasted modestly at all: "Of course." Maybe I'm going to talk to me about family affairs today. ”
I feel so good!
Meng Zijun said half-jokingly: "Anyway, I'm fine today, why don't I accompany you to the door and give you courage?" ”
Shen Changan said unashamedly: "I don't need others to help me strengthen my courage." ”
Meng Zijun raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure you don't need to?" According to my estimates, Gu Xinian is probably not the only one today, but also Gu Xiyu's father and mother. Maybe even her grandparents will show up......"
Shen Chang'an's smile was not so bright, and he said uncertainly: "It shouldn't be!" I'm just going to be a guest. I won't be able to dispatch such a big battle! ”
"How could it be!" Meng Zijun patiently analyzed to him: "You have also been to the Dingguo Mansion before, but they didn't agree with you at that time, so you always eat behind closed doors, and no one cares about you even if you enter the mansion." But that's no longer the case. You and Gu Xiyu are in love, although they haven't officially mentioned family affairs, her family also knows it. Now that you have been officially invited to visit, it must be a formal look. Therefore, the elders will definitely show up. You have to be mentally prepared! ”
Shen Changan couldn't laugh at all, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "I...... What do I have to prepare? ”
Meng Zijun thought for a while and said, "They may ask you some questions, as long as you answer them to their heart." Also, be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't seem too impetuous. And ......"
"What else?" Shen Changan hurriedly asked.
Meng Zijun looked at it with a smile: "If I don't come in time." Did you just ride a horse to the Dingguo Mansion? ”
Shen Changan nodded as a matter of course: "Otherwise, what else, is it possible that I still have to sit in a sedan chair?" ”
Meng Zijun glanced at him with a smile and a smile: "Who said this." Your first official visit to your future parents-in-law. You can't just go empty-handed! You have to bring some gifts! ”
……
Judging from Shen Changan's expression, he obviously didn't expect this layer at all!
Meng Zijun resisted the urge to hold his forehead and sigh. Said decisively: "Go to the warehouse now, find something precious and not too eye-catching, and pack it in a brocade box." Just go! ”
Shen Changan finally reacted, nodded quickly, and then raised his feet and ran. Almost in the blink of an eye, he ran away and disappeared.
Meng Zijun couldn't help laughing out loud, and chased after him without hurrying. According to his understanding of Shen Changan, even when he arrived in the warehouse, he definitely didn't know what to choose.
Meng Zijun guessed correctly.
Shen Changan walked around the warehouse full of things, his brows almost knotted. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the figure of Meng Zijun. It's like seeing a savior, and without saying anything, he dragged Meng Zijun into the warehouse.
Meng Zijun was familiar with him, and he was not formal, nor was he taboo anything, so he walked around the warehouse, picked out a set of the four treasures of the best study, and selected a few pieces of fine silk satin to pack them in a brocade box. This kind of gift can be taken without being too exaggerated, which is very suitable.
Shen Changan was almost grateful: "Zijun, fortunately you are here today." Otherwise, I would definitely make a fool of myself in front of my future father-in-law and mother-in-law today. "It's still a trivial matter to make a fool of yourself, and I'm most afraid that I will leave a bad impression and refuse to marry my baby daughter to him.
Meng Zijun almost knew his little thoughts, and laughed when he heard this: "Okay." It's not too early, so let's go! If you go too late, I'm afraid that your father-in-law and mother-in-law will not have a good impression of you. ”
Less than half an hour. Shen Chang'an and Meng Zijun, who were riding horses, arrived outside the Dingguo Mansion.
Shen Changan has been here several times, and he handed over the name card with a familiar car. The porter also had a deep impression of Shen Gongzi, who had come to visit for more than a month. Hurriedly smiled and took the name post, and trotted all the way to report.
Meng Zijun came for the first time. Standing outside the door, he looked at it casually, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. The Zhengguo Mansion is already magnificent enough, but I didn't expect the Dingguo Mansion to be inferior at all. The heritage of the century-old family is coming, solemn and dignified, which makes people dare not give birth to half a contempt.
After waiting for less than a cup of tea, the little maid came back, along with Mama Huang, the most powerful housekeeper beside Mrs. Zheng. Mother Huang greeted her politely and said with a smile: "The master and the lady and the young master and the young grandmother are all waiting, please Shen Gongzi and this son go to Jingxin Garden with the old slave." ”
Mother Huang couldn't help but glance at the heroic black-clothed young man more, and secretly admired in her heart. This young man is heroic, with a hearty smile and a unique charm. It is completely different from the gentle elegance of the young master, but it is just as good. I just don't know which family's son
After Shen Changan entered the mansion, he fell into inexplicable excitement and nervousness, and he almost didn't know how to walk. All I was thinking about was that the prospective father-in-law and mother-in-law wanted to see him so cautiously, it seemed that what Meng Zijun said was right, and his relationship with Gu Xiyu was really hopeful
Meng Zijun glanced at Shen Changan, who was walking stiffly, lowered his voice and smiled: "Hey, you won't be nervous like this!" I'll see the elders later, but don't forget how to speak. "Shen Changan is notoriously thick-faced and bold, even when he entered the palace to see Queen Gu, he didn't blink his eyes much. If you say this cowardice now, I'm afraid that no one will dare to believe it.
Shen Changan didn't even have the mood to be reckless at this time, and sighed with a bitter face: "My mind is blank now, and I can't even listen to my mouth." It's weird not to be ugly later. ”
Meng Zijun couldn't help laughing, and comforted him seriously: "It doesn't matter if you say the wrong thing, if you still have me, I will help you play a round." You can rest assured. ”
Shen Changan breathed a sigh of relief, and a very strict question suddenly flashed in his mind.
Meng Zijun has always admired Ye Qinglan, and he deliberately wanted to follow him today, shouldn't he still want to see Ye Qinglan endlessly! The more Shen Changan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, deliberately slowed down, and asked in a low voice: "Zijun, if I ask you a word, you have to answer me honestly." ”
As if he knew what he was going to ask, Meng Zijun pulled the corners of his lips: "What do you want to ask?" ”
"Are you coming with me today, or do you want to come to see her?" Seeing that he was about to arrive at Jingxin Garden, and there was no time to go around in circles, Shen Changan simply asked directly.
Meng Zijun glanced at him with a smile: "Of course it's both." Don't worry, she's married now, and I don't think anything else about her, I just want to see if she's doing well. Although he knew that Gu Xinian treated her well, he still couldn't rest assured and wanted to see with his own eyes what the environment in which she lived was like. That's why I tried so hard to fool Shen Changan today, and finally let Shen Changan take him into the Dingguo Mansion smoothly.
One foot has already stepped into the courtyard gate of Jingxin Garden, and even if Shen Changan has more words, he can only swallow them all in his stomach. The mood that had been gradually relaxing became tense again. The moment he walked into the main hall, Shen Changan only felt that his heart was beating faster, and the blood in his whole body was surging to his head. A suspicious dark red appeared on his bronzed face.
Out of the corner of his eye, Meng Zijun saw Shen Changan's reaction, and suddenly had the urge to laugh. finally couldn't hold back, and looked at Ye Qinglan with surprise in his eyes, and his heart suddenly warmed. Although it was inconvenient to say hello, the two looked at each other and both showed a knowing smile.
Meng Zijun's arrival made Gu Xinian a little surprised, but he remained silent on the surface, and got up with a smile to greet him: "I didn't expect Cousin Meng to come today, it's really a rare guest, there was no distant welcome just now, don't be surprised." ”
Meng Zijun smiled heartily, and his speech was even more humorous: "Cousin Gu said this, but it really made me, a cheeky person who has no place to put his face." Don't be presumptuous for me. As he spoke, he respectfully greeted Gu Hong and his wife: "Nephew Meng Zijun, I have seen my uncle and aunt." ”
Meng Zijun is Mrs. Xu's aunt and nephew, and although Mrs. Zheng has never met him, she has heard his name a few times. At this time, when I saw it, I immediately had a good impression of the humorous and cheerful Meng Zijun, and smiled very kindly: "I have heard my sister-in-law mention you a long time ago, but you are on duty in the criminal department on weekdays, but I have never seen you." I didn't expect you to take the initiative to come to the door today, and you will have to come over often in the future. ”
Gu Xinian coughed and said with a smile: "Mother doesn't know, Cousin Meng is busy with affairs in the Criminal Department, and he has very little leisure time, how can he have time to come over often."
"Actually, it's not very busy." Meng Zijun snatched the conversation with a smile: "As long as my aunt doesn't think I'm too annoying to come often, I will definitely come to visit often in the future." ”
Gu Xinian: ""
Ye Qinglan bit her lip and quietly twisted her head to the side and snickered. She was all too familiar with Meng Zijun's expression, which was the expression he had when he deliberately made bad or played tricks on people
Gu Xinian's gaffe was a matter of a moment, and he quickly adjusted, and responded with a smile: "It's a good thing that Cousin Meng is willing to come often." Even if I'm busy, I'll definitely take the time to come back and have a few drinks with you. ”
Why did you take the time to come back and have a drink with him, what he said soundly, I just didn't want him to have the opportunity to meet and talk to Ye Qinglan at all!
Meng Zijun grinned and responded happily.
With Meng Zijun's hustle and bustle, no one noticed Shen Changan's stiffness at this moment.
Meng Zijun glanced at Shen Changan, Shen Changan finally reacted, took a step forward, and rushed out without thinking about a word: "I have seen my father-in-law and mother-in-law." ”
Mrs. Gu Hongzheng: ""
Meng Zijun: ""
Gu Xinian frowned unhappily, but Ye Qinglan burst out laughing. (To be continued......)
