There is a tough battle to be fought today, and she wants to show everyone her best appearance.

In the morning, in addition to dressing up, she made two boxes of delicate snacks, a low-profile version of egg yolk cake, snowflake cake, and a fruit cake about eight inches. Wei Zeyang thought about everything thoughtfully, and set aside an area in the kitchen of the courtyard to make a baking room for her, an electric oven, a refrigerator and various molds. Strictly speaking, it was the first time she made cakes and pastries in the courtyard.

In order to maintain the freshest taste, Lu Xiaoya deliberately chose to make it in the morning.

The Wei family is already wealthy, and they have never tasted any delicacies from the mountains and seas, and they have not worn any silk and satin, so the gifts are naturally rare and sincere.

At about ten o'clock, Wei Zeyang came to pick her up and the bouncing swallow on time, driving a Hongqi car.

Lu Xiaoya remembered that Gu Cheng also had one, which was very popular.

Wei Zeyang is very casual in terms of cars, and more often, he directly takes a taxi or walks, which is completely different from those gentlemen in Kyoto.

The Wei family's old mansion is actually not far from Lu Xiaoya's courtyard, and it takes about twenty minutes to arrive, which is the closest residential area to the Forbidden City.

Here, no matter how dilapidated the house is, every inch of land is expensive, just count the money in the future, it will start in units of 100 million yuan.

Lu Xiaoya looked out of the window with envy.

Wei Zeyang suddenly asked her, "Didn't you say you wanted to buy a courtyard house?" ”

Lu Xiaoya nodded, "Yes, how much can I buy a set here?" ”

Wei Zeyang said a general range, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, depending on the size.

Lu Xiaoya thought about it, in about a few months, she would be able to go to see the house, and while the price had not skyrocketed, she would hurry up and stock up on a few more sets. Next year, she will definitely not take money to invest casually, unless she is worth more than a million.

The car was parked on the side of a wide road, and several luxury cars were already parked on either side.

Walk a few steps, it is in front of the vermilion door of the unusual style, the courtyard wall stretches, the carved beams are painted, there are two unusually majestic lions at the door, the plaque in the middle is written with the two words of Wei House, the two sides of the door bar are respectively pasted with couplets, the words on the top go dragon and snake, quite a wind and bones.

Lu Xiaoya deduced that it should be a courtyard covering an area of more than five or six hundred square meters, as for how many in and how many out, there are a few living rooms, ear rooms, and wing rooms, she has no clue, and the students in the Department of Architecture are better at studying this kind of old house.

Wei Zeyang said: "It is a building from the Qing Dynasty. ”

Lu Xiaoya's mind floated with the words priceless.

Yanzi poked her head out of the two and asked crampedly, "Uncle Wei, are grandparents fierce?" ”

Wei Zeyang directly hugged her in his arms and said with a smile: "It's not fierce." Swallows are so smart and cute, they will love you. ”

In fact, Lu Xiaoya also had doubts about Yanzi coming over today, because Wei's mother had made it clear that she would not accept her daughter, and she was worried that Yanzi would be wronged.

But Wei Zeyang reassured her, and she also believed that the men around her could handle everything.

The three of them had just walked up the steps, and a middle-aged man came out inside, "Young Master Zeyang, are you back......?"

The gown, hanging triangular eyes, despite laughing, give people a feeling that is not very comfortable.

His gaze fell on Lu Xiaoya and Yanzi, and an unnatural slap flashed, and then he said, "Come in, the master is always chattering." ”

Lu Xiaoya recognized him, he was the one who came to the cake shop last time to 'make trouble', pretending to be forced and domineering.

She understood it all of a sudden, so the person in the car that day should be Father Wei.

Wei Zeyang didn't answer, but his eyes were sharp, and his voice sank: "Uncle Hai, although you are nominally our family's housekeeper, you are relatives who are not out of Wufu, they are my closest people, and they are also the guests of my father and mother, I hope you can respect them." ”

Lu Xiaoya didn't expect Wei Zeyang to be angry, but the housekeeper ignored her and Yanzi and didn't say hello, in addition to being rude, it was a kind of contempt and contempt in his bones, just like in the cake shop that night.

So does the housekeeper's attitude represent the attitude of Wei's father and Wei's mother?

Lu Xiaoya thought slightly.

Hearing this, Uncle Hai's face changed, and he apologized sincerely: "This female comrade and little comrade, I was rude just now, I was too busy in the past two days, and I didn't react for a while, please forgive me." ”

Lu Xiaoya observed that this person was obviously reluctant, and in an instant, the attitude was like the two of them, and they were clearly a ruthless character who could bend and stretch, but the Wei family had a big business, and if he could be a housekeeper in the house, he must be a person with the ability and means. Isn't it just a knife hidden in a smile, who wouldn't!

Lu Xiaoya smiled: "The housekeeper is right, it's okay." It was because he changed quickly that Lu Xiaoya was on guard. In the big family, there must be some interests involved, and she must have harmed the interests of many people and made many people unhappy when she was with Wei Zeyang.

The swallow also called out to Uncle stupidly.

Lu Xiaoya rolled her eyes in her heart, and she couldn't teach the child to be rude. Forget it.

When they entered the door, what the three of them didn't see was that the panic on the butler's face disappeared, and his eyes gradually darkened.

The housekeeper didn't follow, and Lu Xiaoya asked, "Doesn't it matter?" ”

Of course, Wei Zeyang knew that she was talking about the housekeeper, and said solemnly: "We paid him to manage the house, if he respects the master's family, why keep him?" ”

Keep him for the New Year?

Hearing him defend himself and Yanzi like this, Lu Xiaoya was quite moved.

But now is not the time to be moved, and I don't know what else lies ahead.

Lu Xiaoya clenched his big palm with one hand, and held a three- or four-layer food box in the other, his heart was full of courage and confidence, when he crossed the rockery bridge and pond, he saw three or four children running around, it should be the children of relatives and friends, selflessly chasing and escaping games, and he didn't bother to say hello to Wei Zeyang, and the three of them arrived outside the door of the main living room.

In fact, the courtyard is not very exaggerated, you can see the end at a glance, fine in the details, everywhere reveals a literati elegance and delicacy.

Outside the living room is a flower stand, there are many stone tables under the flower stand, there are tea drinkers and there are games, on the other side there are sitting and chatting and eating melon seeds and fruits, chatting, and there are babbling Peking Opera playing on the radio, roughly estimated that there are at least 30 people in total, basically some older elders, dressed casually, but the temperament is properly handled, all of them are successful people who are relaxing and vacationing.

There are two young girls with good looks and temperament on the swing frame, and there are also two nannies serving tea and water in it, and the scene is quite harmonious...... After Lu Xiaoya looked around roughly, she withdrew her gaze, she only knew Wei Mu, there were too many people, and face blindness was going to be committed every minute.

From the time she stepped in, so far, there hasn't been much sight on her.

Lu Xiaoya has been mixing like a fish in water in recent years, in Hangzhou City, in Haicheng, in Beijing University, and even went to Gangcheng to participate in two parties (in fact, he got attention with his beauty), but he didn't expect to come to the Wei family, he had no sense of existence, and was completely ignored. Or is it deliberate?

Lu Xiaoya didn't have any gap, her face was not obvious, she always had a good demeanor, her back was straight, and her eyes didn't squint.

Yanzi seemed to feel the pressure and seriousness from her mother, and she didn't dare to be presumptuous, and her little face was tense.

"Zeyang is here!"

Someone finally discovered Wei Zeyang, a middle-aged woman with a unique cheongsam and a cardigan on the outside, dressed magnificently.

Lu Xiaoya sighed with emotion, the more upper-class people in Kyoto are, the more they like cheongsam.

But the cheongsam has really always been popular and has never gone out of fashion, but there are very few people who wear charm, but it can be superimposed with money and self-cultivation, which is also a kind of temperament.

Wei Zeyang shouted Auntie, I don't know if it's kissed, this aunt raised her eyes, looked at Lu Xiaoya from beginning to end, her expression seemed to be smiling rather than smiling, whether she was kind or contemptuous, Lu Xiaoya could still feel it.

The three of them walked towards the flower stand on the side of the chess.

"Dad." Wei Zeyang shouted lightly, and the swallow was put down by him, "Xiao Ya and the swallow are here." ”

"Hmm."

It was as if I heard someone answer vaguely.

But the chess watchers were all sitting in a cluster, but Lu Xiaoya hadn't recognized which one was Father Wei.

Yanzi was caught off guard and shouted sweetly to an old man over half a hundred years old wearing reading glasses in a cardigan jacket: "Hello grandpa!" ”

Her daughter is also ripe, right? Who is the personality like?

At this time, Lu Xiaoya finally found a part similar to Wei Zeyang from the facial features of the old man with reading glasses, and his height was also, although he was sitting, because his back sank slightly because he was older, it would not be less than one meter eight, he was Wei Zeyang's father.

Wei's mother is also considered to be of medium height, no wonder Wei Zeyang can grow to about 1.85 meters, and a large part of the gene is stationed.

I thought I would kick the iron plate, but Father Wei said unexpectedly: "Can the little girl understand chess?" ”

Although there was no obvious smile on his face, his tone was quite gentle.

Swallow shook her head.

"Want to learn?"

...... shook his head.

It's just too untouchable.

However, Father Wei was not angry, and the peers who played against him smiled and said, "Old Wei, you can't do anything to me, and you deliberately cheat." ”

Father Wei: "What a trick, this game is a draw." ”

“……”

Lu Xiaoya secretly wondered, what's going on? Why was Father Wei's attitude so different from what she expected, what went wrong?
