16. Chapter 16

The Zhao family has always been a big family in the south, and the gate is also a typical style of a large family, with two big stone lions on the left and one on the right in front of the door, the two doors of vermilion wood paint are tall and square, and two red lanterns are hung high in front of the door, swaying in the wind, quiet with a bit of solemnity. With such a gate, it is easy to think of the exquisite scenery inside.

However, when Qin Youchen walked in, he was still stunned. I didn't expect that the old mansion of the Zhao family in my memory would change.

The first thing that catches your eye is a large group of flower beds and grass beds against a large European-style house in the past, which is very different from the Chinese-style façade at the gate, and even forms a strong contrast, which makes people can't help but shine. He was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at the surrounding scene, which was lined with tall trees and full of life.

Standing in front of the flower garden, looking to the left front, you can see the ancient meaning, the small bridge with the wooden windmill flowing water, with a small garden, from a distance, the flowers are full of flowers, and it is very lively. Looking to the right front, I saw a large lotus pond, and the lotus leaves swayed in the wind, like the graceful waist of a woman in ancient times, soft and slender. In the middle of the lotus pond, there are also stone embankments, through the lotus pond, some lead to the grass in front of the right, some lead to the direction of the western-style houses, and there are pavilions in the middle of several stone embankments.

Qin Youchen watched while continuing to follow Zhao Neng, he had come to the old mansion of the Zhao family a few years ago, and he still had an impression of the scene he saw at that time, but he didn't expect to come again this time, he had already made such a big change, only the lotus pond seemed to be the original of the old mansion.

Before I knew it, I had come to the front of the bungalow. The surrounding environment is very clean and quiet, this is a European-style house in the shade of arbors, simple and atmospheric appearance, vast floor area, four floors, flat roof, Western columns, red brick exterior walls, white doors and window frames, windows are stained glass windows. Looking up, you can see that there are balconies on the second and third floors.

His father-in-law is really a foreigner, and he directly demolished the original old mansion and built such a big house to live in, if the late old lady Zhao knew about it, wouldn't he be so angry that he jumped out of the coffin? Qin Youchen thought in his heart, curled the corners of his mouth, speaking of which, he had seen many houses that combined Chinese and Western with such a combination, but it was the first time he had seen such a simple and casual and even somewhat abrupt combination.

"Uncle, the lord and the lady are waiting for you inside." Zhao Neng said, making a gesture of please into the room.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhao Changtian sitting on a delicate leather sofa in a robe and a horse coat, drinking tea. There was also a woman sitting beside him, wearing a blue dignified skirt, with a slender figure, a gentle and beautiful face on the tall and towering collar, and her eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Zhao Ji. Qin Youchen immediately concluded that the woman who was sitting side by side with Zhao Changtian was his mother-in-law. Someone already knew that he was coming, and quietly went to prepare tea.

This Zhao family looks quiet, everyone is humble and polite, but they always invisibly exude a message that cannot be offended. It's like Zhao Changtian, the head of the family.

Both husband and wife lowered their heads slightly, as if they were whispering something to discuss, very engrossed, and didn't notice that someone was coming, until Zhao Neng spoke up, and didn't notice it.

Zhao Changtian glanced at Qin Youchen, who had already walked in front of him, and said with a smile: "Youchen, are you here?" He said and pointed to Zhao beside him: "This is your mother-in-law, you should call your mother like Ji'er." As for me, you know what it's called, right? ”

Qin Youchen bowed slightly, and greeted with a smile: "Dad, Mom." ”

"Sit." Although Zhao had a lot of dissatisfaction with Qin Youchen in his heart, he still smiled at him gently, beckoned him to sit down, and when he saw the next person coming with tea, he reached out and took the tea tray, and personally poured a cup and put it in front of Qin Youchen.

"Thank you, Mom." Qin Youchen thanked him very obediently, with a smile in his Danfeng eyes.
