When he left the union, Ren Yan did not see Gu Tingwen.

He Quan asked her to get in the car: "The seventh master knows that the young lady is not sociable, and the rest of the things will be handled by the seventh master." The young lady went home first, and if the union was asked, she would not know. ”

Poppy seeds are a sensitive thing, and everyone in the Gu Mansion understands things, there shouldn't be such recklessness, Ren Yan wondered: "Is there anything else to pay attention to?" ”

"The lord and the wife have returned home in the second half of the morning."

Ren Yan was speechless.

She really didn't know how to deal with the elders of the Gu family, especially the old lady of the Gu family who invited her into the house as a guest in a way of thanking her, in fact, it was just a euphemistic house arrest, aimed at forcing Gu Tingwen to comply.

Parents always seem to know their children's thoughts, and when they are clear, they are eager to express their objections, and now ...... She was so worried.

Fortunately, Gu Tingwen's car caught up in the middle of the road, and he sat beside her and held her hand: "I thought I was going to coil for a while." ”

People are in a hurry, and the impatience and seriousness between the eyebrows have not yet dissipated, and now by her side, she is just unwilling to give up her to face her parents alone, for fear of making each other sad by some accident.

Ren Yan smiled: "When Du Liren came out like that, everyone was worried about getting into trouble. ”

It doesn't matter what other people's affairs, Gu Tingwen looked at her and touched her head: "Our girl Ren is also a master!" ”

After today, even without him, she will be able to firmly establish herself in the chef's business.

He sent her here, and it was considered a complete merit.

But she is not very enthusiastic about the things that make her famous, and she can't even match the importance of an unsuccessful herring bald lung, after all, before leaving the guild, she still avoided reporters and cameras, and asked the master for advice with high interest.

Ren Yan pursed his lips and smiled, not very embarrassed: "It's a bit of a victory, I won someone because of a trick, he wanted to go to death by himself, and the apprentice just pushed it, which just made way for me." ”

"Rouge—"

"Huh?"

"As Master Ren, you don't have to be so modest."

He squeezed her hand and looked at it again and again, the little girl's hand skin was delicate, and the red marks on the palm of the hand when she held the knife in the second half of the day have not yet disappeared, and the thin calluses have been stacked for many years.

One mind is completely focused on hobbies, and I don't know if it's good or not.

"I heard that your father and mother have returned home?" She pondered for a long time before she spoke.

Compared with her uneasiness, Gu Tingwen's reaction can be described as indifferent, holding her hand is already cold: "Yes, the New Year is coming, I need to go back to the office to report on my work, and I will leave for Gansu after the year." ”

What she was worried about, he knew exactly what she was worried about.

When he got out of the car in front of the house, he pushed the car door and leaned over and stretched out his arm to tell her to stop: "Follow me, feel free." ”

As a chef, she has a big bearing, but it is the first time that she wants to be a daughter-in-law, and she really doesn't understand how to get along with the parents of the Gu family, so she is inevitably nervous.

When he saw it, he only smiled: "The heroine in the Fangcai Guild is gone." ”

Can this be the same thing?

After entering the second gate, there was a waiting girl and an old mother to guide the way, saying that the wife had changed her clothes, and invited the relatives of the clan to say some common words, and invited the seventh master and the girl to sit in the hall.

There were many people sitting inside and outside the hall, and the old and young all looked at the two who entered the door, and the old lady in the main seat only slightly put down the teacup and whispered, "I'm back." ”

"Mom."

Mrs. Gu opened her mouth to ask about the Chef Guild and Du Liren, and said lightly: "It's not a serious business, you should be more careful when you invite people in the future, Master Du has a big reputation, but his conduct is not good, so he will leave." ”

"Yes."

The old lady looked at Ren Yan: "This is, Master Ren Yan?" ”

"Yes."

Ren Yan owed: "Mrs. Gu, hello." ”

The old lady just smiled: "Hello Master Ren, you are younger than I imagined, I heard that you shine in the Chefs' Guild tonight, and you are an outstanding girl, which is very good." ”

She has not been together with the female relatives of the clan for a long time, she talks and laughs after the head of her head, and occasionally talks with Gu Tingwen and Ren Yan about the current affairs in Beijing City, which are all rumors and anecdotes, insignificant.

After a long time, the old lady felt that something was wrong and instructed Gu Tingwen: "It's all the female streamers who say something considerate, and you sit here." I met your dad before, and it's been a long time since your father and son sat down to talk. ”

"Got it, Mother."

He got up and pulled up Ren Yan by the way, the hands of the two have always been shaken, and from the time they entered the door to the present, they didn't see any intention of letting go.

Everyone had different expressions, and even the old lady's expression was very subtle: "Master Ren is a female guest, it is always inconvenient for you to follow, and I will come back after seeing your father." ”

Gu Tingwen pursed his lips, his eyes dark.

Losing the relaxed and leisurely atmosphere of talking, the guests exchanged glances and left the hall for various reasons, leaving only the mother and son and the panicked Ren Yan.

The old lady smiled first: "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, is it difficult to greet your father, and I also have a free time to let my mother talk to Master Ren, I haven't seen it well." You go, come back. ”

There was a small servant on the door who bowed down and said that the master invited the seventh master.

Gu Tingwen patted Ren Yan's arm and left first.

"Master Ren, you sit."

The girl brought the tea and hurriedly came out, and Mrs. Gu said slowly: "Last time, I hurriedly invited Master Ren to come to the house, and you left after a few days, which was very abrupt." ”

Ren Yan didn't know how to build a stubble.

Fortunately, Mrs. Gu just said to herself: "This time Qi'er invited you to be a guest, but my father and I are still not in Beijing, and I missed it again, do you say it's a coincidence?" ”

Ren Yan smiled: "Mr. and Mrs. Gu are busy with official business. ”

"It's not a kind of official business, the old man should be old enough to take care of his old age, so he doesn't have to leave Beijing when he comes back this time, and he can finally meet Master Ren."

Until Gu Tingwen reappeared, she always said that she was short of parents.

The old lady got up calmly: "It's getting late, Qi'er will send Master Ren home well, and your father and I will wait for your house to eat." ”

Gu Tingwen's eyes were still very heavy: "You and your father are tired of traveling, it is better to rest earlier, tonight, I don't dare to come back to disturb." ”

The old lady still smiled: "The aunts came with the daughters of other families, and they want to talk to you about family affairs, and they don't show up to say anything." Your father and I will wait here until you return. ”

The car drove away from Gu's house, and Gu Tingwen never said a word.

In the courtyard of Fuxue Hutong, Zhao's mother opened the door, deliberately stepped back and asked in a low voice: "The old lady's house is here?" ”

"Yes."

Mother Zhao closed the door and turned to Ren Yan's house: "Go quickly!" ”

He went inside, took off his suit and went into the kitchen to cook.

One day of war and chaos, no one was able to live in peace.

Ren Yan changed his clothes, and still sat on the stool opposite him and looked at him: "Tingwen, how are you?" ”

He looked at her, and his expression softened inexplicably: "Are you worried about me?" ”

"yes, I thought you should have quarreled with your father again."

Gu Tingwen didn't have any expression: "My father and I have a disagreement, and this kind of thing is very common. ”

She didn't know what to do, the fourth master said that the fifth master was gone, Gu Ting had a backbone behind his brain, and he was about to be a twin brother who was connected by life and death, and now he is living more difficult with two lives on his back.

"I'll be with you." She said.

He laughed: "I thought you would be sad. ”

Ren Yan shrugged: "When I was in Baoding, my situation was even more embarrassing than this. My father has a total of seven wives, and the youngest one is not as old as me when he enters the door, and a litter of women has nothing to do but quarrel! ”

His father was no slouch.

The new aunt is sixteen years old, and she added a boy to her father, and his little brother who has just completed the moon was carried back to Beijing in Gansu.

It is a great joy to have a son in old age, the father walks around in the study with his little son in his arms, and it is rare to show a little smile, and his voice is soft; Naturally, he listened to a lot and said little, but it was rare that there was no kind of dispute.

He was worried about her, for fear that she would be embarrassed by her mother, so he hurried back, but he lost face.

It's rare and unbearable, and I don't want her to know, so I keep silent.

But his father and mother did not intend to let him go easily, and after leaving him enough time to send him away, they sent someone to invite him. Said that please did not enter the door seriously, stood in front of the door and shouted:

"Master Ren Yan is here, I will drive you back to the seventh master, and the old lady will invite the family to dinner."

The boss's voice can shake the entire alley, and he shouted twice for fear that no one would understand.

How easily can the reputation of the girl's family be delayed?

He was forced to leave.

So far, for three days, Ren Yan has not seen him again.

On the day Hongpheasant Hall closed, Mrs. Gu sent someone to pick her up and talk to her, which was the same as the previous time, and it was an inconsequential matter.

Ren Yan had to listen with a strong spirit, and finally Mrs. Gu asked the girl to send a chapter contract: "On October 22, the ninth year of the Republic of China, your brother Ren Yue arrived at the Baoding Dingchang Gambling House to the family for 200 oceans to be an aunt's wife, this is a document." ”

Ren Yan's heart shrank into a ball in an instant.

At the end of the document, it is embellished with the signature of the dragon flying and the phoenix dance, and Cheng Shi'an.

Those things that she kept in her heart, like crystal glass stubble that had been knocked to pieces, now picked up the last piece, and finally put it together into a complete mirror, which was imprinted with the hearts of people who couldn't understand.

Cheng Shi'an will save Ren Yue, which is no longer an uncommon thing.

Mrs. Gu took back the documents and reasoned with her: "Reasoning is now the Republic of China, you young people talk about democracy, and the elders should not take care of your idle affairs, but the contract is a contract after all, and the Gu family should not bend the law for personal gain." ”

Ren Yan pursed his lips.

The old lady got up: "I know that you have a deep relationship with Qi'er, but in front of the law, affection is worth a few taels." Where to go, Miss Ren knows better than me, an old lady. ”

"Old lady, I want to see Tingwen."

Ren Yan clenched the paperwork tightly and insisted.

Old Madam Gu smiled: "Miss Ren is going to see a kid who has a family now, and when she understands her own affairs, let's talk to Qi'er again." He beat a small tendon, who will look good on his face if he admits death! ”

Ren Yan remembered that he left in a hurry that night, and a piece of walnut cheese lost its heat and lay in the stove softly, lifeless.

She once scooped up a mouthful with a spoon, and after the time, the paste that should have been sweet and moisturizing was bitter.
