Chapter 13: Meeting the Parents

Cheng Xiangjin had just come down from the private room where Cheng Chuyang and Bai Su were, and when he saw that there seemed to be a guest at the door who was about to come in, he hurriedly beckoned Aji to greet him!

"The two guest officers are in love!"

Mrs. Cheng nodded and walked upstairs, walked to the staircase, suddenly felt that something was wrong, turned her head to the side of the lobby, and her face suddenly changed several times. It wasn't until he confirmed that he didn't recognize his daughter that he slowly walked over and said in a trembling voice: "Jin'er? Is that you? ”

Cheng Fuyin didn't see anything wrong at first, until Mrs. Cheng stared at Cheng Xiangjin with an ugly face, and then she took a serious look at the person in front of her.

This...... What's going on?

When did your daughter come to Chang'an? Still standing in the lobby of a restaurant where people come and go?

Cheng Fuyin gasped for breath, and for some reason, he suddenly had the illusion that he couldn't get up in one breath!

Cheng Xiangjin was going to take a look at today's account book, but when he heard Mrs. Cheng's voice, his heart trembled suddenly, and the account book in his hand almost fell out. turned her head to look, and sure enough, her mother and Fu Yin's father looked at her as if they had seen a ghost.

I secretly screamed in my heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull the two like children.

"Father and Mother, you are here too! Hehe! ”

She grinned stiffly, but she hated Cheng Chuyang half to death in her heart, and she didn't even tell her that her father and mother were coming today, what kind of brother was it? Is this a sincere attempt to punish her?

Mrs. Cheng didn't want to attract attention at the door where people came and went, so she grabbed Cheng Xiangjin's hand with her backhand, and her tone couldn't hide the trembling, "Let's go, change places." ”

Cheng Fuyin also glared at her fiercely, and hurriedly supported Mrs. Cheng, who had an ugly face. The group of three quickly went to the private room next door to Cheng Chuyang and Bai Su.

"When did you come to Chang'an?"

Cheng Xiangjin didn't dare to lie, and said truthfully: "It's been almost two months!" ”

When Cheng Fuyin heard this, he suddenly became angry, "You have been hiding from me and your mother for so long, how dare you?" ”

Mrs. Cheng was also dumbfounded when she heard this, her daughter has been in Chang'an for nearly two months? Isn't it that when you are at the door of your house, you don't even think about going in and seeing your mother?

What a failure she must have been as a mother! Thinking like this, I couldn't help but cry "woo woo".

Cheng Xiangjin was already weak-hearted, but at this time, looking at his parents' faces with sad expressions, he felt even more guilty. Hurriedly knelt down in front of the two of them and carefully comforted, "Father and mother, don't be angry, my daughter knows that this matter shouldn't be hidden from you, and my daughter knows that she is wrong!" ”

Mrs. Cheng still couldn't help but stare at her sadly and cry in a low voice. Cheng Fuyin temporarily regained his composure patiently, and asked with a cold face, "Your grandmother instructed you to come?" ”

Cheng Xiangjin nodded when he heard this. "The Wei family sent a letter to my grandmother, which was about my daughter's family affairs, and my grandmother thought about it for a while, so she asked me to ........"

Cheng Xiangjin didn't want to say that he came to Zuixianglou to escape, but he couldn't think of a suitable word for a while, so he was stuck in the middle of his words. Fortunately, Cheng Fuyin and his wife instantly understood what she meant! The two looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

No wonder? It turned out that my daughter came to Chang'an as a last resort!

If so, the old mother did the right thing!

Mrs. Cheng wiped the tears on her face, and said, her daughter has always been well-behaved and filial, if she wasn't forced to do so, how could she show up in this restaurant?

But there's no need to hide it from the two of them? Could it be that she is the master who is in a hurry to send daughters to others?

Phew!

I'm not so cheap!

What about the Servant's family? She had already heard from a few good ladies, and then she chased after Du Guogong's youngest daughter on her birthday, and she couldn't wait to be a son-in-law for others!

Since the child has a favorite, why bother to involve the Cheng family again? Then the old lady Wei is not kind!

Mrs. Cheng, who loved her daughter wholeheartedly, had already transferred her dissatisfaction to the old lady of the Wei family at this time. The arrangement of the mother-in-law and the forbearance of the daughter are full of self-blame and guilt!

"Where do you live all these days?"

"The Begonia House behind the restaurant."

"Begonia House?" Mrs. Cheng didn't know there was such a place.

"Oh, it's my own new name for that yard."

Cheng Fuyin thought about it and nodded secretly to Mrs. Cheng. There is a small courtyard behind the restaurant, which was left by my mother.

In this way, the two finally put their minds at ease. Fortunately, the child didn't go to any places that he shouldn't go, and it wasn't as serious as he imagined.

Mrs. Cheng still felt that it was inappropriate, "You told Xiao Yu'er to clean up and follow me and your father back to live tonight." After the words fell, he glanced at Cheng Fuyin, and when he saw him nodding, he was satisfied. Fortunately, the old man sided with her.

Cheng Xiangjin was anxious, pulled Mrs. Cheng's arm and explained: "But this drunken Xianglou was ordered by my grandmother to take care of it, if I leave...... I can't explain it to my grandmother! ”

Mrs. Cheng sighed and glared at her reluctantly, "Silly boy! only let you go back to live, and didn't say to stop you from taking care of the restaurant. If you don't feel at ease, you can come and have a look every once in a while. However, it is never allowed to stand in the lobby to greet customers! ”

When Cheng Xiangjin heard this, this is not impossible!

"Yes, the daughter obeys her mother's arrangement!"

Anyway, it's a decision. After mentioning it for two months, my heart can finally settle down.

Seeing that she was still well-behaved in her memory, Cheng Fuyin and his wife comforted her a lot. The mood improved, and Mrs. Cheng faintly felt hungry in her stomach! It's all to blame on this stinky girl, who forgot the purpose of coming here today! He turned his head to look at the old man who didn't know what to think, and gave him a dissatisfied look. Cheng Fuyin's eyelids raised, and he suddenly understood what she meant.

He touched his chin with a serious expression, turned his head to Cheng Xiangjin and reminded: "Since everything that should be said has been said, cough cough, then let Xiao Er come over and order food if you have nothing to do!" If you don't have one, eat some with us!" ”

Cheng Xiangjin was reminded by Cheng Fu Yinyi, and then remembered that the second elder hadn't eaten yet, so he patted his head, and hurriedly went out to greet the young man and ordered food together.

The young man learned that it was Fu Yin and his wife who had arrived, so he hurriedly took the ordered menu and went to the kitchen to arrange wine and food.

In previous years, I could only see the old mother and the little girl during the New Year's Festival, but now I see my daughter who has not seen her all the year round intimately arranging meals for the two of them, and there is a feeling of unreality in the hearts of the two, which is mixed and complicated.

Every time we met in the past, my daughter had a lot of changes. But in memory, she has always been a doll who has not grown up. Even the various things we met in previous years are still like yesterday, whenever I think of them, the scenes are very clear in my mind.

When the children who didn't see much in their impressions gradually coincided with the slim girl in front of them, they had to admit that the child had really grown up! And it's in a place they can't see.、Unconsciously, she quietly grew into the girl she is now!

Cheng Fuyin sighed slightly, speaking of which, he owes this kid!

Unlike the melancholy and unspeakable mood of the two, Cheng Xiangjin was happier at this time. Speaking of which, she hasn't seen her parents for more than half a year, and now she can have a meal together crookedly, and she is very satisfied in her heart.

Although she can no longer live in Begonia House, she has the opportunity to stay by her parents' side in the future.

Moreover, she is still the owner of Zuixiang Building, so she can be regarded as living up to her grandmother's entrustment.

When I first came to Chang'an two months ago, I couldn't have dreamed of it!

Cheng Xiangjin sat next to Mrs. Cheng affectionately, still holding her mother's arm tightly as she did when she was a child, for fear that she would sneak away while she was asleep.

Seeing this, Mrs. Cheng's eyes were red and she patted her hands, and tears quietly fell on one side.

Although there were many drinkers, Cheng Xiangjin's meal was quickly served.

It was the shopkeeper Yang who got the news and personally brought the guy over.

He solemnly saluted Cheng Fu Yin and his wife, and apologized for the fact that Lord Fu Yin had waited for a long time because of the large number of drinkers.

Cheng Fuyin doesn't mind much about this, after all, it is his own restaurant, and good business is important. Besides, it didn't take long to wait.

Shopkeeper Yang saw that Cheng Fuyin did not blame, and he was happy in his heart. I personally served the food and drinks and introduced them one by one.

"Today, the meals ordered by the young owner for Lord Yin and his wife are the most popular in our restaurant. They are: lotus leaf porridge, Sixi dumplings, stewed roast goose, sauce hooves, pearl fish balls and Yipin mutton. In addition, there are two side dishes with alcohol, beef in sauce and braised pork tongue. Wine and food are naturally indispensable, and the wine given to Fu Yin is the best Yutang Spring in our restaurant. If Lord Yin is happy to drink later, just summon Aji to add more wine and food. ”

Lord Fu Yin glanced at the fragrant food on the table and the young man standing by in a proper manner, and nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing that they didn't have any more orders, Shopkeeper Yang respectfully retreated. Only Aji was left to stand outside the door and wait for orders.
