Chapter 51 Chengfu Family Banquet, First Sight of Mrs. Cheng
In the evening, Cheng Wenjun returned to the house from the official mansion, and through Li's mother's communication, he went directly to the lobby to meet the young man who had been waiting for a long time.
"Your Excellency!" Cheng Wenjun passed through the corridor and went all the way to the lobby, and the maids and family members he met on the way stopped walking.
"My lord, it's been a busy day, it's better to go back to the room to rest first, and let the scholar wait, and don't worry about it for a while!" Cheng Wenjun's entourage followed behind and proposed in a concerned tone.
"It's okay, Ah You, you go down and rest first, you don't need it!" Cheng Wenjun softly refused, and then waved his hand to let his entourage Ah You retreat.
"Yes, sir!" Ah You understands Cheng Wenjun's temperament, and he usually doesn't say a second sentence, and he acts simply and decisively, so he just bowed and turned around and retreated.
In the lobby, Han Limo saw Cheng Wenjun coming, quickly got up, and said, "Han Limo, the grass people, has seen Master Cheng!" ”
Maybe he was really tired, Cheng Wenjun was expressionless, did not speak, waved his hand to signal the courtesy, walked slowly past him and sat on the main seat.
The man in the Chinese costume sitting on the main seat took a deep breath, rubbed his temples with one hand, and then rubbed his eyes, and finally he raised his head, looked at the scholar in Tsing Yi who was still standing with a tired face, and said, "Don't be restrained, please take a seat!" ”
"Lord Xie Cheng!" Han Limo thanked him, and then sat down.
"Someone!" Cheng Wenjun shouted outside the lobby.
After a while, a maid came in, and the maid stepped forward to greet him, and then said, "What do you command?" ”
"Today's family banquet, has the lady come back from the temple?" Cheng Wenjun asked.
"Back to my lord, Mrs. has already returned from incense earlier, and is now resting in the room!" The maid replied.
Cheng Wenjun sighed and said, "Let's go down first, and go get a pot of tea by the way!" ”
"Yes, sir!" Maid, please step down.
Cheng Wenjun cleared his throat, he couldn't take a sip of water after a busy day's official business, his throat was about to smoke at the moment, and he even felt a little hoarse when he spoke!
Cheng Wenjun didn't ask him, and Han Limo didn't dare to answer, just sat quietly in the chair.
In the end, Cheng Wenjun looked at Han Limo and asked, "Han Gongzi came here today, presumably he already has an answer, but he doesn't know what answer he brought?" ”
Han Limo hurriedly got up, shook his head, gritted his teeth and said, "Please also ask Lord Cheng to forgive me, the grass people can't agree to the matter of the guest!" ”
This is just something that Cheng Wenjun expected, he laughed and said: "Han Gongzi, get up, don't be nervous, I also have the answer in my heart!" ”
Cheng Wenjun didn't mean to blame, let alone be annoyed, which made him feel a little surprised, he slowly straightened up, and said, "Thank you Cheng Daren!" ”
"Sit down, don't be polite!" Cheng Wenjun said.
Han Limo sat down, and then only heard Cheng Wenjun say in an indifferent tone: "I don't force the matter of the doorman!" ”
Han Limo looked puzzled, and Cheng Wenjun smiled and said: "Don't you forget that Hongyan is my friend of the bamboo horse, if I want a painting, do I still need someone else's help?" What's more, we have never had any doormen in Chengfu! ”
Han Limo suddenly said, "What about Lord Cheng?"
Cheng Wenjun explained: "It's just that Hongyan left you for you, thinking that I would let you stay with me first!" ”
Before Han Limo could speak, Cheng Wenjun said again: "Hongyan admires you very much!" ”
Han Limo finally relaxed and asked, "Then I don't know Master Hongyan...?" ”
Han Limo wanted to know why Hongyan wanted to stay by himself, and just as he was about to speak, Cheng Wenjun of course understood what he was going to ask, but said: "You better ask Hongyan another day, I won't get involved in Danqing!" ”
At this time, a little girl dressed as a maid outside the lobby hurriedly came to the lobby, bowed her head and saluted: "My lord, the family banquet has been prepared, and Madame called you over!" ”
Cheng Wenjun waved his hand, and the little maid took a few steps back and turned to leave.
It turned out that today was a family banquet in Chengfu, and Han Limo knew that it was not suitable, so he got up and said goodbye: "The family banquet of adults, the grass people say goodbye!" ”
Cheng Wenjun stood up and said something that flattered the scholar in Tsing Yi, he said: "Master Han, come with me!" ”
"My lord, I'm afraid there's something wrong with this!" Han Limo excused himself.
Cheng Wenjun stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and then walked out with his hands, only to hear him say: "Hongyan should also come tonight, if Han Gongzi is free, he can wait for him at the family banquet with me." ”
Han Limo raised his head, his expression was a little surprised, he thought about it carefully, and then followed.
A pavilion in the back garden of Chengfu is surrounded by bright flowers and fragrant fragrance.
I only saw a group of maids and family members successively sending dishes for tonight's family banquet to the pavilion.
Cheng Wenjun and Han Limo went to the pavilion together.
"I've seen my lord!"
"I've seen my lord!"
...
The servants who came and went saluted when they saw Cheng Wenjun.
"Who's that?" There was a maid who saw Han Limo, dressed in a poor and sour dress, and she didn't know why Master Cheng took him to the family banquet together.
"I heard what Mama Li said, what is it called!" Another maid said.
"Is that the person Cheng is looking for? It doesn't look good, but it's pretty handsome! ”
"What are you two talking about, why don't you hurry up and serve the food! Beware of provoking adults and ladies to blame! Mama Li appeared in the sky and startled the two maids.
"Yes! Mama Li! Mother Li reproached a few words, and the two maids left quickly with their heads down.
Han Limo followed behind Cheng Wenjun and came to the pavilion.
I saw an elegant and dignified beautiful woman sitting upright sipping tea, laughing a few times from time to time.
This person is Cheng Wenjun's wife, Cheng Ruonan's biological mother, Zhao Su.
"Mother, are you comfortable?" Cheng Ruonan rubbed the beautiful woman's shoulders and asked with a smile.
"Comfortable, comfortable, don't toss me, don't sit down yet, your father will come and talk about you in a while!" Zhao Su turned his head, stretched out a finger and gently poked Mrs. Cheng Ruonan's head.
Cheng Ruonan pursed her lips, and was a little angry at the mention of her father, and sat down angrily.
Zhao Su shook her head, her daughter is still very naughty, and she doesn't know if she will be able to marry in the future.
Cheng Ruonan held her hand, looked aggrieved, and said: "Mother, mother, just tell your father, don't keep staring at me, don't let me do it, don't let me do it!" ”
"Look at Sister Lan'er, Uncle Bai doesn't care about her what she does!"
"If only I were Uncle White's daughter!" Cheng Ruonan let go of his hand and suddenly sighed, as if he had really been wronged.
"What nonsense, you kid, you don't know how to learn kung fu, why don't you look like you and me at all!" Zhao Su reproached.
"If your Uncle Bai wants you, then I'll send it out!" Cheng Wenjun walked to the pavilion and happened to hear his daughter's words.
Cheng Ruonan frowned when he saw Cheng Wenjun coming, then hugged his mother's arm tightly, and said aggrievedly: "Mother, look at your father!" ”
"Alright, alright, I don't know how long it will stop!" Zhao Sudao.
"Wen Jun, how are you... Hey, who is this? Zhao Su was about to ask why he came so late, if there was something wrong, but he saw a young man in Tsing Yi behind Cheng Wenjun.
Cheng Ruonan sent away his mother's hand, and also cast his eyes, and then saw Han Limo, who made him angry in the afternoon, and thought to himself.
"Mother, he is Han Limo!" Before Cheng Wenjun could speak, Cheng Ruonan pouted and explained.
"Hey, you're coming along! Don't you know that this is our family's feast? ”
"Although Sister Lan'er likes it, I won't let you!" Cheng Ruonan looked angry at Han Limo, ignoring the etiquette that Cheng Wenjun taught on weekdays.
"Presumptuous! Why are you getting more and more disagreeable, how do you teach you on weekdays! Cheng Wenjun said coldly, the guests at home were so rude, and it was rumored that the deceased would look at the people of the Cheng Mansion.
"It's all your pet, and there's no etiquette at all!" Cheng Wenjun said to his wife Zhao Su.
"Okay, okay, you two don't know if you two want me to stop for a day, it's better to let me move to the temple, and I can have a quiet place!" Zhao Su joked.
Cheng Wenjun sat down and said casually: "Master Han, come and sit too!" ”
Han Limo glanced at Cheng Ruonan, who turned his head and snorted coldly.
"Thank you, Lord Cheng!"
"I've seen Mrs. Cheng!"
Han Limo thanked him and gestured, but he was full of scholarly spirit.
Zhao Su smiled softly and nodded at him.
The young man looked very calm, including what her own daughter had just said, and she didn't see any change in his face.
Zhao Su was a little curious, and he had heard his husband say that it was rare to see a Danqing genius.
She doesn't understand Danqing, but the young man who can be favored by Hongyan must not be bad.
Han Limo sat down at the square table and sat face to face with Cheng Ruonan.
When eating, it is inevitable to nag at home.
"I don't know where Han Gongzi is from?" Zhao Su asked casually.
"Mrs. Hui, Nancheng Luobinren Clan!" Han Limo replied.
Zhao Su sighed softly, thinking so far, and asked, "What other relatives are there at home?" ”
"Since I was a child, I have no parents, no brothers and sisters, and I am the only one in the family!" Han Limo said casually, without any change in expression on his face.
The three people present were stunned and looked at Han Limo one after another.
Especially Cheng Wenjun, he hasn't asked these questions for so long, but when he heard Han Limo's words, his heart was shocked, and for a moment it hurt.
Isn't Han Limo's life experience his own life experience?
It's no wonder that when I first saw him, I felt like I saw myself back then.
The other three didn't notice him and sighed secretly.
"Oh, look at what I asked!" Zhao Su's tone was full of apologies.
Han Limo smiled at Zhao Su and said softly, "It's okay, madam, it was a long time ago!" ”
Zhao Su smiled softly, and felt a little more love in the eyes of this young man who was not much different from his daughter.
"Then I don't know how you've been all these years?" Zhao Su said curiously.
"How could Madame ask so carefully!" Cheng Wenjun interrupted.
"Don't worry about adults."
"Back to Mrs. Hui. The younger generation doesn't know how to talk about it, but now I'm a shopkeeper in an inn! ”
Han Limo could see that Mrs. Cheng had no dislike for herself, and she was also a warm and hospitable person, so she said brightly.
Zhao Su was a little surprised, shop junior?
Since there is such a talent, wouldn't it be a waste to be a shopkeeper.
"Madame, don't ask more, I'll just let you ask after a meal!" Cheng Wenjun forked.
"Good, good, eat!" Zhao Su shook his head, but smiled gently.
"What are you thinking, silly girl?" Cheng Ruonan was stunned, and after not speaking for a long time, her mother saw it and shook her hand.
Cheng Ruonan came back to his senses and burst out with a sentence, even Han Limo didn't have a displeased expression when he heard this, but agreed very much.
She said, "You are not worthy of my sister Lan'er!" ”
"What are you talking about, silly girl?" Zhao Su looked puzzled and asked.
"Mother, don't you know? Sister Lan'er likes him! Cheng Ruonan explained.
Zhao Su turned her head in surprise and looked at the miserable young man in front of her, what kind of girl Bai Lan'er was, of course she knew, such a family background and appearance, she could naturally look at an extraordinary character.
She likes Han Limo, but she didn't expect it.
What kind of magic does this young man have?
At this time, Cheng Wenjun smiled brightly and quipped: "Don't be surprised, madam, didn't you also take a fancy to me like this back then?" ”
Zhao Su's face on the opposite side turned red, and he must have remembered the great feat of chasing Cheng Wenjun back then, although he was blaming, he couldn't hide his tenderness.
She said, "What do you do by saying this in front of your child! ”
"Dad, mother, what are you two talking about? I don't understand! Cheng Ruonan looked confused, naturally he didn't know what happened back then.
Zhao Su looked at Cheng Wenjun with resentment, and the latter smiled heartily.
In the laughter of the family, Han Limo lowered his head to eat and was silent, and the days of family eating and laughing were no longer there.
What Cheng Ruonan said is not wrong, I am naturally not worthy of her.
