Chapter 608: The Old Mansion of the Hejia Family
When Twilight stepped through the gate of the old mansion, it would be half past eleven.
The old house of the He family is located on a hill on the outskirts of Yanjing, and from the foot of the mountain, it is the private domain of the He family.
The location here is actually not remote, because it is not far away from the national scenic spot, and the off-season is full of tourists, not to mention the peak season, which is called a lively and extraordinary.
With this popularity, the old house is barely quiet, and you can also enjoy the scenery of the mountains nearby, which can be described as an excellent location.
In the eyes of outsiders, this mountain is a secluded and unpopular scenic area.
Only when you get closer, you can glimpse the scattered buildings from the shade of trees, which not only combines the atmosphere and stability of the traditional courtyard house, but also mixes the graceful and exquisite water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
It is said that it is a residence, but it is more like a work of art, which has long gone beyond the category of ordinary houses, and walking in it every day is no different from staying in a fairyland.
And the owner of this residence is no longer "rich" can be simply said.
This is the harmony of the family.
For Twilight, every plant and tree in this old mansion is very familiar.
Different from his brothers and sisters, he has lived in this mansion with his parents since he can remember, like the sons of those big families left over from the long years, who belong to the heritage and style of this mansion, all of which are integrated into his breath and become part of the background color of his soul.
But when it came to adulthood, Twilight didn't hesitate to move out of here to experience a wider and greater world, and never be bound by a small mansion.
Just like now, since he has made a decision, he will not be easily changed.
……
"Uncle Meng."
He Dusk and the oncoming housekeeper Lao Meng said hello.
Uncle Meng smiled kindly: "You are a little late this time, and everyone else has arrived." ”
Twilight unfastened the cufflinks and rolled them up to her elbows, "There's something important, delayed." ”
While talking, the two of them did not stop, crossing the hand-copying verandah piled up with strange mountains and rivers on both sides, and then crossed a flower garden, only to arrive at the lively main hall at this moment.
As the housekeeper Uncle Meng said, there was constant laughter in the hall, and everyone in the family had arrived-
The two Huanghuali Taishi chairs sitting in front of them were He Jingqing and Guo Xiling.
Guo Xiling wore a fragrant cloud gauze cheongsam today, the color was elegant, her hair was coiled into a bun with a hosta, and a jade bracelet of the same color was put on her wrist, which looked graceful and noble, just like the temperament of this deep mansion compound.
And He Jingqing, who was sitting beside Guo Xiling, looked much simpler, the long shirt made of silk and linen was fairy-like, with his own style and bones, and his eyebrows and eyes were seven points similar to He Dui, but he was more majestic, indifferent, and imposing than He Dusk, even if he swept a glance lightly, it was still very oppressive, he was silent with a pair of walnuts in his hand, but no one dared to ignore his existence.
On both sides of the Taishi chair are two couches, each sitting with the two elder brothers and sisters of Dusk.
Brother and Yang, it is estimated that he has just come from the army, he is meticulous in a straight military uniform, although his appearance is not as outstanding as his younger brother, but he is also handsome with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he is just middle-aged and adds a stable temperament to him, towering like a mountain, and the coldness when he does not smile is the same as his father and Jing Qing.
Liu Wei, the wife who sat beside Heyang, as an excellent entrepreneur, feels much gentler, like a pearl of brilliance and restraint, elegant and noble, but will not show too much edge, only in the conversation and laughter, can you get a glimpse of her inner furrows, which is by no means as simple as it seems.
On the opposite side of the two of Heyang, Hedu's sister He Xi, who holds an important position in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the most common image in the news is to overcome rigidity with softness, and her appearance looks very gentle and feminine, like a lady in a painting coming out, but the inner character is absolutely calm and sharp, and there is no blood in killing.
Her husband Lu Yuan, who is side by side, is not as conspicuous as his wife, but he is still elegant and elegant, wearing gold wire glasses, and his whole body exudes the temperament of an academic talent, and his profession is indeed as temperamental, he is a professor of physics, once served in Princeton, and later in order to cooperate with his wife's work, he gave up his teaching position abroad and returned to China, and is now a professor at a top university, and at the same time shoulders heavy responsibilities in the National Academy of Sciences.
It's not just these two couples.
Because today's family banquet is the first time in nearly two months, he and his family attach great importance to it, and He Yang and He Xi both came back with their children.
The third generation of the He family is not very old, and He Yang's twin daughters are sophomores in high school this year, while He Xi's daughters have just entered junior high school.
Instead of being with their parents, the three children were playing with Lego and eating snacks on the small coffee table next to them, and they were laughing happily when they saw Twilight and Twilight walking through the threshold.
The three of them, who weren't even so nervous when they saw Grandpa and Jingqing, only saw Hedui, like a mouse seeing a cat, they stood up quickly, their voices were different, but they shouted in unison:
"Uncle."
Twilight nodded at them and handed over the gift she had brought.
His nephews and nieces didn't show much joy, took it tremblingly, and quickly slipped to the side.
In the past, Twilight didn't care much about the reactions of the younger generations, but today is an exception:
"Not satisfied?"
The three children froze on their backs as they were about to turn away, and cautiously turned back.
"No, no, I love it."
As he spoke, he was afraid that Twilight wouldn't believe it, so he quickly squeezed out a smile.
And Twilight was satisfied, and hummed.
The eldest brother and Yang were very surprised when they saw it.
He couldn't help muttering: "Aren't the gifts of the third child usually handed over to the secretary to choose?" Why do you attach so much importance to it today, is it a change of people...... Hiss. ”
Sister-in-law Liu Wei withdrew the hand she had just pinched her husband, smiled casually, and lowered her voice: "Don't say it, don't you have the eyesight to see it?" ”
And Yang was aware of it and went to see the reaction of the parents in front of him.
Mother is smiling as always, but father......
He Yang understood.
The choice of this gift is really extraordinary!
It's probably the legendary one!
I don't know why, Heyang is not only worried, but feels that his younger brother shouldn't find someone who doesn't match his identity.
Instead, he was excited, as if he ...... Can't wait to see a good show.
Because of this, the sense of majesty brought by his military uniform was completely destroyed.
Guo Xiling glanced at the stupid boss, who didn't seem to notice his father's cold eyes, and his expression of being excited and waiting to eat melons was really annoying.
He reminded him loudly: "Boss, go and see how the kitchen is prepared." ”
At this time, He Yang still reacted first-class.
Immediately looked at the old father in front of him, trembled, and quickly got up.
"I'll go."
"I'll go with him!"
The sister-in-law followed and got up.
