After getting off the bus, there is a short walk to reach the destination.

Mencius would be at the forefront, and Lu Xingchen followed her slowly as if he was enjoying the scenery along the way.

Look carefully at the surrounding environment, simple and unpretentious, but the breath of life is strong, the landscape is not surprising, the most eye-catching is along the road, there is a gentle stream, next to a towering ancient banyan tree.

Soon, what appeared in front of him was a unique dwelling, at a glance, the wall had a kind of decadence over the years, and some of the cement ash that wrapped the masonry had obviously fallen, but it seemed that it had the characteristics of ancient traditional folk customs.

I heard that this is a unique dwelling in Rongcheng - four points of gold, because there is a room on each of the four corners of the room shaped like "gold".

There are many structures of "four points of gold", it is said that Mencius's grandfather lived in the "four halls", that is, the front and back four main houses are facing the patio, there is a hall at the back, which is the place to worship ancestors, the two sides are the "big room", the two sides of the entrance hall are the "lower room", and the north and south halls with corridors on the left and right sides of the patio.

At this time, the two of them crossed the threshold of the house together, but Lu Xingchen suddenly stopped and stood at the door.

It turned out that he saw that there were various varieties of orchid potted plants around the entire patio, and at this time, it was the flowering and fruiting period of orchids, and under the backdrop of emerald green leaves, they were all full of plain and ungaudy flowers, making them fragrant.

Mencius walked a few steps, and noticed that Lu Xingchen hadn't followed, so he turned around, saw that his expression was a little strange, and hurriedly ran over to ask him, "What's wrong?" ”

Lu Xingchen came back to his senses at this time, pretended to smile casually, and pinched her cheek, "It's nothing," he motioned to her to look at the orchids in the yard, "It seems that grandpa also likes orchids." ”

Mencius followed the direction he pointed out and was very unimpressed, "Of course, my grandfather not only likes it, but there is also an orchid garden in the back, and many people come to buy it!" ”

Lu Xingchen was surprised, "Really?" Then after visiting my grandfather, you should do your best to be a landlord and take me to go shopping. ”

"No problem." Mencius laughed.

"Is it Mencius?" At this moment, a neutral voice came from the room.

Mencius happily turned around, "Grandfather...". [@@爱奇文学 ...... Fastest update]

My grandfather was dressed in a black Tang suit, and although he was full of silver hair, his face was red and energetic, and he smiled very lovingly when he saw Mencius.

But my grandfather's eyes were attracted by Lu Xingchen beside Mencius, and I saw him walking through the patio like a fly, walking to Lu Xingchen, showing an appreciative look, "Young man, I see that you have a good appearance and temperament, I don't know what it has to do with our Mencius?" Grandpa deliberately glanced at Mencius, his eyes full of anticipation.

Lu Xingchen smiled politely and shook his grandfather's hand, "Grandpa has won the award, and the junior Lu Xingchen is Mencius's boyfriend." ”

Grandpa was so happy that he clapped his hands with joy, "Not bad! Not bad! Then he patted it

Mencius's shoulder, "Mencius has this point of success, and my grandfather is very pleased!" ”

Mencius couldn't cry or laugh, "Grandfather! Have you hurt your granddaughter like this? He said angrily, "If you hurt me again, I'll take my things home!" She gestured to leave.

Grandpa hurriedly took the bag in her hand, "You girl, you don't have the ability, and your temper has grown a lot." Don't stand, go to the hall, grandpa will make you tea!" After my grandfather finished speaking, he walked to the hall first.

Lu Xingchen dragged Mencius into his arms and touched her head coaxingly, "Let's go!" ”

There are two sets of old-fashioned mahogany furniture on the left and right sides of the hall, in the middle is a round table-style mahogany coffee table, on which are fully equipped with tea sets, next to the coffee table are four mahogany round stools, grandpa sits in the middle, Lu Xingchen and Mencius sit on the left and right.

I saw my grandfather skillfully brewing and soaking, "Xingchen, grandpa took the liberty of asking, what do you do?" ”

"Grandpa is polite, the junior is a lawyer." Lu Xingchen replied politely.

Grandpa praised again: "Not bad, not bad! The afterlife is terrible, come, drink tea. ”

Lu Xingchen savored it carefully, and blurted out: "Yunnan old Banzhang Pu'er." ”

Grandpa was a little surprised, "I can't see that you are young and have studied tea, so grandpa, I can be regarded as having found a soulmate!" Then he looked at Mencius, who was stuffing moon cakes into his mouth, with a look of hatred, "It's not like some young people who know how to drink Coke soda!" ”

Mencius's mouth was a little full, and he said inarticulately, "Grandpa, you are also very good at insinuating kung fu!" If you're okay, don't want Aite me, you talk about yours, I'll eat mine. ”

Grandpa shook his head helplessly.

Lu Xingchen couldn't help but smile, then took a cup of tea and put it in front of Mencius, and said, "Actually, the younger generation has only studied this Pu'er tea a little, because its fragrance has the fragrance of orchids. ”

Grandpa nodded in agreement and said, "So, you also like orchids." ”

"Actually, my father likes it, and the younger generation follows Aiwu and Wu, and later I got in touch with it more, and I gradually got to know orchids." Lu Xingchen's tone was a little deliberately disguised sadness.

After Mencius heard it, he looked at Lu Xingchen like an epiphany, no wonder when he entered the door just now, he looked sentimental, and he also knew that the orchids planted at home were all in memory of Uncle Lu.

Grandpa smiled when he heard this, "That's a good dare!" My grandfather is also fond of orchids, and he is good at making friends, I wonder if I am lucky enough to make friends with my father? ”

At this time, Mencius put down the moon cake in his hand, looked at his grandfather desperately, and hurriedly gestured with "shh", but his grandfather was stunned and didn't see it.

Of course, Lu Xingchen saw Mencius's behavior, but instead he calmly said to Mencius, "It's okay," and said to his grandfather, "Grandpa, I may be going to disappoint you, my father died three years ago." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Mencius reached under the table in distress and shook his hand that was just on his knee as a sign of comfort.

Grandpa knew that he was rude, and he also comforted, "Child, people can't be resurrected after death, you have to mourn!" Grandpa said and sighed, "I remember that three years ago, an old man made a special trip to my grandfather to buy orchids, he also drank the Yunnan old Banzhang Pu'er tea, and said the same thing to you, but unfortunately, I have been waiting to be able to drink tea and talk about orchids with this old man again, three years in the blink of an eye, until you mention it today, my grandfather only remembered this old man, by the way, he is also surnamed Lu like you, and coincidentally he is also a lawyer!" ”

Lu Xingchen was obviously a little surprised, "To tell you the truth, my father is also a lawyer!" ”

Mencius was also a little surprised and put down the fruit in his hand, "Grandpa, what is the name of that old man?" ”

After that, Mencius took Lu Xingchen to the orchid garden behind the house, which was actually an indoor greenhouse, but the area was very spacious.

When you enter the greenhouse, you will see that there is a passage in the middle, and there are iron shelves on both sides, on which there are orchid potted plants arranged in an orderly manner, which looks bright green.

Lu Xingchen and Mencius walked side by side in this passage, Lu Xingchen sighed, "I can't imagine that my grandfather and my father still have this relationship, it seems that the fate of you and me seems to be doomed!" ”

Mencius also sighed, "Yes! No wonder people always say that fate is a wonderful thing! She paused, then said with some guilt, "But I'm sorry for reminding you of the sad thing!" ”

"Don't be sorry, it's been so long, the deceased is gone, and the living are just leaving a thought," Lu Xingchen said and stopped, holding Mencius's hand as if he remembered something, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how do you think about our affairs?" Didn't you say that you want to go back to Banyan City to think about the rest of our lives? ”

Mencius looked at him with anticipation in his eyes, and she didn't want to disappoint him.

So, she said seriously while playing with the collar of his shirt, "Originally, I thought that if I was so desperate to be with you, I felt sorry for your Lu family, but if I wasn't with you, I felt sorry for you, but then I thought about it, my body happened after we fell in love, who can guarantee that people will not get sick for the rest of their lives?" So, I also want to thank you, thank you for not being like some ruthless men, but willing to tolerate me, not disliking me, if I am not satisfied, then I really do too much,"

She raised her hand again, as if she was voathing, "But, don't worry, I must have worked hard to take care of my body, like my mother said, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor, in short, I must not let you be sorry for your uncle and aunt!" ”

Lu Xingchen naturally smiled with satisfaction when he heard it, but he took her hand and held it in the palm of his hand in distress, and said softly, "The matter of body conditioning cannot be done overnight, the coming day is long, take your time, don't worry, I want to be with you more than the world of two people." ”

Mencius clearly saw a hint of a man's secret thoughts flashing in his eyes.

Mencius covered his eyes a little shyly, "Let's go." ”

Lu Xingchen took her hand instead, with a smile

said, "Let's go shopping again." ”

Mencius bargained with him, "You help your grandfather buy a few pots, and I'll go shopping with you." ”

"You're worth more than a few potted plants." Lu Xingchen said as he pulled her away.

Mencius was interested and asked him, "How many pots am I worth?" ”

"The orchid is one of the four gentlemen in the flower, and if you appreciate it and love it, you think it is priceless, and in the same way, even if you are mediocre, as long as I like it, you are also priceless." Lu Xingchen said.

Although he said that he was very calm and natural, it still made Mencius's heart beat, and she leaped to let go of his hand and walked up to him, gesturing as she walked back, and said, "So, I am worth the whole orchid garden!" That's a lot of money! ”

Lu Xingchen smiled, walked towards her quickly, reached out and hugged her waist, making her stand still, bowing his head and kissing her on the forehead, "It's too cheesy to talk about money!" ”

After the two of them had lunch, they said goodbye to their grandfather.

When Lu Xingchen sent Mencius home, Meng's father and Meng's mother also went home early, which caught Mencius a little off guard, and Lu Xingchen was naturally invited by Meng's mother to stay for dinner.

At this dinner, Mencius didn't care about eating, but took care to help Meng's mother count how many times she called "Lu's son-in-law", not only that, but Meng's mother also frantically served Lu Xingchen with vegetables, shushing the cold and asking for warmth.

In short, Mencius and Meng's father were really secretly admired, but looking at Lu Xingchen, he looked like he was comfortable with humiliation and was not shocked, easy-going and full of self-cultivation.

After dinner, Mencius sent Lu Xingchen to the door of the house, and she said a little embarrassedly, "My mother seems to be a little too enthusiastic." ”

Lu Xingchen smiled, "No, after the last time I was rumored at school, I am already surprised, besides, I am also happy, but you," he said and grabbed her arm to let her get closer to him, "It's time to take you to see your mother-in-law." ”

Mencius suddenly became shy, and simply hugged him, not letting him see her blushing expression, and a wave of emotion arose in his heart, "Great God Lu, we will be happy, right!" ”

Of course, Lu Xingchen could hear the meaning of her words, but he wanted to tease her again, "Of course, you are not seeing a bad mother-in-law." ”

Mencius, "..."
