Chapter 272: Meet the Parents
Li Yuanhao's grandfather Li Qiubai, in order to show his importance to meeting his future granddaughter-in-law, specially arranged the meeting place in the Li family's old house. Full-time master no pop-up ad reading. The Li family's old house is located on the outskirts of the capital, and it takes more than two hours to drive from the community where An Xin lives in the center of the city.
The one who came to pick them up was still the same driver last time, Li Yuanhao sat side by side in the back compartment in Anxin.
After Li Yuanhao slept for more than two hours, Jing's state had recovered most of the time, and the green daisy under his eyes didn't seem to be so serious.
An Xin sat beside him and said a little nervously, "Do you think I'm okay now?"
Before An Xin went out, she really carefully groomed herself. She was wearing a sky blue coat with a circle of fluffy white rabbit fur at the collar, which set off her unfatted little face, which was really as fresh and moving as a hibiscus out of water. It just pressed down the gorgeous and unparalleled appearance of the past a few points, highlighting her knowledge and elegance.
Li Yuanhao really looked at it carefully for a moment, and then frowned and said, "I think it's still a little bad." β
"Where? What's bad? An Xin lowered her head again and began to pull up the corners of her clothes.
Li Yuanhao smiled and took her into his arms, and said teasingly: "As long as you are not so nervous, don't keep pulling the corners of your clothes." With a little smile on his face, he is perfect. β
An Xin slapped him shyly, and said angrily: "I'm not afraid that I will leave a bad impression on your grandfather, so I will be nervous!" You're still making fun of me, it's really unconscionable. β
Pounded in the chest by the fist of the pink nen. Li Yuanhao felt that his bones were lighter, and his heart was full of happiness, and he was about to overflow. He couldn't help but tighten his arms a little more, until An Xin felt a little unpleasant breathing in his arms. After struggling slightly, he reluctantly relaxed.
He lowered his head and looked at An Xin, who was extremely well-behaved at the moment in his arms, and whispered: "I really want to keep holding you like this, and I won't let go until I am old." Slowly, his head bowed. She could feel his warm snort spraying on her face. An Xin hurriedly closed her eyes, and she felt his slightly cool thin lips gently imprinted on her lips, gently tossing and grinding. He also stretched out the tip of his tongue from time to time and licked the corners of her lips. An Xin passively endured this intimate closeness, until she felt that his body was getting hotter and hotter. She nestled in his arms, as if she was sitting in a stove, and she pushed him in a panic.
Feeling An Xin's resistance, Li Yuanhao had to relax a little. He put his lips to her ear, gasped, and whispered, "What's wrong?" β
An Xin's cheeks were red, and her eyes were even more smeared, but she didn't know it, but she secretly pointed to the back of the driver who was sitting in the cab and concentrating on driving, and said in a low voice: "Don't make trouble, it's embarrassing for people to see it." β
Li Yuanhao knew that she had always been thin-faced. So he stopped insisting. It's just that he still held An Xin in his arms, and he leaned back in the chair. An Xin saw that he was still a little upset, so she whispered distressedly: "Anyway, it's still so far." Why don't you rest for a while? Li Yuanhao nodded and closed his eyes obediently.
An Xin nestled in his arms, feeling that the temperature on his body was still very high. In every breath she breathed, there was a unique warm breath of a man all over her body, mixed with a refreshing smell of menthol oil, which made her a little intoxicated. So in the shaking of the car, An Xin actually fell asleep in Li Yuanhao's arms.
I don't know how long it took. An Xin felt in a daze that two warm lips were imprinted on her forehead, and then Li Yuanhao's soft voice sounded in her ears: "Xin'er." Don't sleep, we're here. β
An Xin was suddenly startled, she immediately opened her eyes, and then looked at the ancient and ancient, huge castle-like building outside the car window, and was stunned for a moment. Until Li Yuanhao pushed her, and said with some amusement: "You won't be so scared by my grandfather that you can't walk, do you want me to carry you in?" β
"you." An Xin secretly smacked him, then adjusted her heart, and pushed the car door and walked down. An Xin was indeed a little nervous in the car before, but she was not afraid when she really got to the place. You must know that she has been by Tuoba Qing's side for so many years, and she has never seen any big scenes. Three years of arduous battlefield battles, all kinds of difficulties when he was trapped in the enemy camp, the extravagant celebrations when Tuoba Qing ascended the throne, and various celebrations that he was canonized all the way...... These experiences have long cultivated her characteristics of being calm and self-contained the more she encounters major events.
It is a standard Roman dwelling that combines an inner courtyard with a pillared courtyard. White marble from Greece forms the elegant pillar-shaped courtyard, and at the center of the courtyard is a large bronze sculpture fountain, where crystal drops of water splash on the surrounding bushes, shining in the dazzling midday sun. The whole courtyard is filled with a romantic atmosphere. In this magnificent castle, the luxury of the world is extreme, giving people the illusion of being in a royal palace.
Li Yuanhao explained in An Xin's ear: "Because my mother used to be obsessed with the culture of ancient Rome, my father renovated our Li family's old house into this ancient Roman style of ancient castle. But my grandfather didn't like it very much, so he rarely stayed here. β
"What about you? Do you live here every day? An Xin asked strangely.
"Me? I wouldn't stay here even more. Li Yuanhao said self-deprecatingly: "Don't look at this castle-like building, it is very romantic and beautiful in the sun." But once it was night, especially when I was alone here, the bleak white moonlight came in through the window, and there was an undisguised feeling of yin coldness. So I've been running away since the twelve, and I've rarely lived here. β
In Li Yuanhao's narrative, An Xin can be phenomenad. A ten-siu child, after losing his parents in vain, lives alone in this luxurious but cold castle. Surrounded by only salaried staff. They can only take care of his diet and daily life. But he couldn't give him spiritual comfort, so even he suffered from post-traumatic coping disorder, but no one noticed it.
Come to think of it. An Xin couldn't help but quietly took Li Yuanhao's hand, but Li Yuanhao smiled and whispered: "It's okay, those are in the past, don't I already have you now!" β
The two of them walked through the fountain and entered the house, and saw an old man with gray sideburns sitting in the huge living room sofa. Although Sui Yue left a lot of marks on his face, his eyes were still as sharp as an eagle. Li Yuanhao's shadow can be vaguely seen from the contour of his face. With such an extraordinary bearing, you don't have to think that it is Li Yuanhao's grandfather Li Qiubai.
Li Yuanhao led An Xin to him, and then opened his mouth and called, "Grandpa, this is An Xin." β
An Xin immediately said obediently: "Hello grandpa! Then she handed over the boxes she was carrying. said: "The first time I met you, I don't know what you like, this is a little bit of my care, I hope you can like it." β
Li Qiubai nodded, and said noncommittally lightly: "Hello, sit down." Actually, as long as you come, you need to bring something. β
Li Yuanhao immediately put the things in An Xin's hand on the coffee table in front of him, and then pulled An Xin to sit down on the sofa next to him. Li Qiubai first politely asked about An Xin's family, and then asked about An Xin's studies. For all the questions he asked. An Xin answered politely one by one. And the attitude is neither humble nor arrogant. When I talk to him, my voice is gentle, and my tone is steady and powerful. It's very comfortable to listen to.
She sat on the couch with her knees closed and her hands lightly on her knees. When answering questions, look at Li Qiubai's collar, so that he will neither appear rude nor too humble. In short, her whole attitude is just right, and it is very natural to do it. It can be seen that she has received a very systematic etiquette education.
After the first contact with An Xin. made Li Qiubai feel very satisfied, so he also looked amiable. Li Yuanhao pursed his lips when he saw this, he knew that An Xin's good performance had completely won the recognition of the old man.
At this time, a middle-aged man in his fifties came over and asked, "Master, can you have dinner?"
Li Qiubai laughed heartily: "Open the meal, open the meal, my stomach is already hungry, Ann girl, you are also hungry, you will have to eat more later." So he took the lead in standing up, Li Yuanhao and An Xin also quickly stood up, one left and one right to protect him, and the three of them walked to the restaurant together.
In the corner of the dining table, which was at least three meters long, there were already a few exquisite dishes. However, there is not a long, extremely luxurious food as An Xin imagined, but a very simple four dishes and one soup. This glance can be seen clearly. The soup is a milky white soup with ham and bamboo sun, and the other dishes are steamed sea fish, boiled asparagus, braised tofu balls and rouge goose breast.
Li Qiubai said with a smile: "Girl An, it was the first time you came to our house, and you should have prepared more delicious food for you." However, the doctor said that my blood pressure and blood sugar were a little high, and I must eat some low-salt, low-fat Qingtan diet. So today I only have to be wronged for you to accompany me to eat these things, you won't mind, right? β
An Xin smiled and said: "These are very good, there are fish and meat, vegetables and tofu, all the nutrition is enough, it seems that the chef of grandpa's family is very good at arranging it!" β
"That's good, that's good, let's take a seat." Although Li Qiubai said so, he didn't move his steps, it seemed that he was going to be taken to a seat. An Xin looked around and found that there were only three of them in the huge restaurant, and the middle-aged man who led them to the restaurant had long since disappeared. Although Li Yuanhao looked at himself with a smile, he didn't move under his feet, looking at this meaning, he just wanted to lead Li Qiubai by himself, could it be that there was nothing to learn here.
An Xin carefully looked at the placement of each bowl of dishes on the table, and then smiled slightly. She stepped forward, pulled out the chair next to the boiled asparagus, and said, "Grandpa, sit here." β
Li Qiubai's eyes flashed, he happily sat down on the chair An Xin pulled out, and then said, "An girl, don't stand still, sit down quickly." β
"Okay." An Xin walked over to the chair with the steamed sea fish and sat down, while Li Yuanhao then sat down on the chair near the rouge goose breast. After the three of them sat separately, Li Qiubai's smile became even deeper, according to traditional etiquette, it is important to pay attention to eating without saying anything, so it was extremely quiet during the whole meal.
After eating, Li Qiubai said, "Yuan Hao, you sit with Xin'er for a while, and I'll go up and get something down." β
Li Yuanhao immediately agreed loudly: "Okay." After he watched the old man go upstairs, he said proudly in An Xin's ear: "Look, grandpa has changed his name to Shangxin'er, it seems that he really likes you." β
"What else?" An Xin glanced at him with disgust, and said in a low voice: "You have to have exam questions for dinner, and you don't remind me in advance, if I really make any jokes, it will look good." β
However, Li Yuanhao also said vigorously: "I didn't know that the old fox would suddenly come to this hand, but fortunately, my family Xin'er is Bing Xue smart, and I immediately understood what he meant." Isn't this natural response even more perfect! β
"If you want to die, how can you call your grandfather the old fox, how bad it is for him to hear it." An Xin hurriedly covered his mouth, and looked around, looking weak.
Li Yuanhao smiled and pulled down her little hand covering his mouth, and said, "Okay, I won't say it, you don't need to be so nervous." Can you tell me what you just thought? β
An Xin whispered: "Needless to say, there is a seat next to those three dishes, grandpa said it, and the doctor told him to eat a low-salt and low-fat diet." Although the taste of the rouge goose breast and steamed sea fish is good, the taste is slightly heavier, and the lightest is of course the boiled asparagus. As for the rest, it's even better, you can't eat seafood, I guess it will be uncomfortable to smell it, of course, only I sit in front of the steamed sea fish, and the rest of the rouge goose breast will be yours. β
Li Yuanhao smiled, although he didn't say anything more, he was full of admiration for An Xin's extremely agile reaction ability and observation ability.
After a while, I saw Li Qiubai walking down with an old brocade box, he handed the brocade box to An Xin, and said kindly: "Xin'er, you open it and see if you like it." β
An Xin respectfully took the brocade box with both hands, and then opened it to see, and saw that there was a simple Huang gold ring quietly placed inside, and the ring was also inlaid with an oval shape. As far as the texture of this piece of jadeite is concerned, it is no worse than the two pieces of Si in the collection of An Xin's family, but it is older and often worn and maintained, so it is more gentle and soft.
Li Qiubai sighed and said, "The style of this ring is older, but it is Yuan Hao's mother's dowry. Now that Yuan Hao's parents are gone, my grandfather will give you this ring on their behalf, hoping that the two of you can always love each other hand in hand. β
Looking at the familiar ring, Li Yuanhao's eyes flashed with crystal light, and he seemed to recall a lot of past events. An Xin didn't refuse, she reverently took out the ring and put it on her slender jade finger. This move made Li Qiubai nod with satisfaction, and also made Li Yuanhao's eyes look at her more gentle.
