Because I didn't know what to call me, I asked the man next to me for help, but he looked at me with a smile as if he was watching a good show.
Wenqing had no choice but to follow the custom and call the elderly people "grandma" to address the old people working in the high hall.
"Hey~ Come in quickly, come to me, let me take a good look." The old lady responded cheerfully, with traces of time on her face, and in her cheerful smile, it became deep and obvious, facing her
Wave your hand and go to her side.
Wenqing was a little flattered and looked at her with clean and surprised eyes, and then straightened up. The old man sitting still looked at himself with a warm smile on his face.
She was helpless and turned to the man next to her for help. Xu Du let go of her hand and said to her, "Go ahead."
Just like this, she walked towards the old man's house tenderly and blankly. When she was one meter away from the right person in front of her, before she could stand still, she straightened up enthusiastically, reached out to grab her hand, and pulled her towards her.
"She is such an obedient and well-behaved little girl. She has such a pretty face." The old lady looked at the warmth and patted her hand gently.
The love in her eyes is fully visible, and the smile on her face is very real. "Are you tired of coming here?"
This has never happened before for Wen Qing to be scrutinized by the old man like this. Even if she is loved by the elders, she rarely gets so close to her without any courtesy.
This was the first time that an old man held my hand so intimately and asked with a smile on his face.
She smiled shyly, "I'm not tired, thank you grandma."
He is gentle and polite, even if he feels uncomfortable, he does not say anything. When talking to others, his eyes are clean and sincere, making people feel very respected.
The eyes of the old lady are shrewd and transparent. Whether a girl is really well-behaved and good, whether she is really as respectful, polite, gentle and graceful as she appears on the surface can be seen from her eyes and body language.
This little girl is still young, but she has an inherent softness, gracefulness, modesty and courtesy that radiates from her body. This is something that cannot be faked or imitated.
Those clean and transparent eyes are beautiful and piercing, allowing people to see directly into their hearts without covering up anything.
In this troubled world, being able to be educated like this shows that she is inseparable from her family and parents. What's more important is that this girl has such a heart, her original intention is as solid as rock, and she works hard, so she is so fresh in this troubled world.
Refined.
She liked it very much, and it turned out that her grandson's taste was as good as hers, and he was as good at choosing people as she was.
Well...the old lady felt arrogant about herself.
"Don't stand there, sit down and chat with grandma." The old lady enthusiastically took her hand and pressed her to sit on the chair next to her.
That move really made everyone in the room look at Wen Qing in shock again. Not just anyone can do it next to the old lady. Xu Du usually occupied that position, not even Young Master Ning Que.
But this time, the old lady personally held the person down and sat him down. This was such a lovely treatment.
Xu Du's eyes were neither surprised nor happy, as if he expected this to happen. He walked calmly and sat down next to Wenqing, and raised his eyebrows at the enthusiastic old lady who was talking to Wenqing.
He knew that the old lady would definitely like her. In fact, the old lady still had the deep-rooted thoughts of a lady in her heart.
She also grew up in a wealthy family, and the education she received was the etiquette education of the older generation.
Her thoughts followed her, but in her heart she still loved those gentle and graceful people who were gentle and gentle.
The same was true of his education since childhood. Now there was someone who looked exactly how she wanted in every aspect. How could she not like him?
The old lady gave her a look of disdain and rolled her eyes, then smiled and chatted warmly, asking her if she lived well there, whether that brat Xu Du bullied her, and whether the food and pastries he brought there were to her liking.
,like or not.
Wenqing replied in a gentle voice one by one, and praised the cakes from the bottom of her heart that the pastries were very good and the food was very appetizing. She had gained weight after eating. She also praised the old lady for being good-looking. Not only was she good-looking, but she also had good eyesight.
.
It was so sincere that the old lady was in high spirits, laughing happily, and her laughter filled the entire hall, which was rare.
Usually, the old lady lives alone in a big house, accompanied by servants. How can anyone dare to come up and chat with her like this? Not to mention that her majesty is still there, even if their status is inappropriate, they can't be said to listen to her.
if.
Occasionally when she was so happy, all her old friends and sisters would come over, play mahjong together, and chat, but she wouldn't laugh as hard as she does now.
Xu Du listened to the old lady's words the whole time, and occasionally slowly relaxed and responded to the sidelines, showing surprise and joy at the warmth of the old lady's conversation sincerely.
He really didn't expect that she was so loved by her elders and had no problem communicating with her. Instead, it was because of her gentleness that she was knowledgeable and studious.
When she talks, it doesn't make people feel like she's showing off, but makes her feel comfortable and want to hear her thoughts and insights.
The only thing he decided was that it was different. Xu Du looked at her opening and closing mouth with satisfaction and doting, standing proudly.
"Old lady, it's time to start dinner. Let's talk after eating." The food was ready in the kitchen and it was time to start dinner. Aunt Lin walked up to them and said.
"Okay, okay, let's arrange the dishes and eat." The old lady looked at the time and responded to Aunt Lin.
After finishing speaking, he said to the warmth next to him, "You're hungry, I pulled you so much by accident. I'm getting older, so I'm so long-winded. Don't bother grandma."
"No, I like to hear grandma say this very much." She shook her head tenderly and replied seriously to the old lady.
"That's good. If you have something to do in the future, come back more often and stay with me, this old lady, okay?"
"I, an old lady, live here by myself, and everyone talks to me."
"My grandson talks about being busy all day long. He just dislikes me, an old lady, who is so verbose. If he doesn't come back, I will know it."
"Alas! How pitiful is the old man who lives alone."
The old lady glanced at Xu Du aside, talking to Wen Qing, saying that she was like an empty-nest old man.
There is a feeling of warmth that makes those who hear it sad and those who see it shed tears. Although the old lady's acting skills are a bit exaggerated, but thinking about such a big house with only servants to accompany her, it is really pitiful to think about it in another person.
She nodded and said obediently, "Okay."
"You are still obedient." A smile appeared on the old lady's face, but the next second she looked extremely disgusted at Xu Du, "Not like some unfilial grandsons."
Xu Du laughed angrily at the insinuation. He stood up, walked to her other side, held her arm and said, "Okay, I'm not filial to my grandson. Can I eat first?"
The old lady raised her fist and hit him twice and said, "You are the only one who is disobedient." After that, she stood up holding the tender hand and said, "Let's go eat."
"Okay." Wenqing took her hand and supported her, slowing down and following her to the restaurant in small steps.
The food has been placed on the table one by one. It is more complete than the Manchu and Han banquets. It is full of color and aroma, and it arouses the taste buds just by looking at it.
The two of them helped the old lady sit down on the main seat, and then the old lady directly held her tender hand and placed it on her right to sit down. She gave Xu Du a look of disgust and said, "Sit over there." He clicked his left hand.
side position.
Seeing this, Wenqing said, "Grandma, let me do it over there." She knew that the seat on the right was the seat next to her master's seat, and it was not appropriate for her to sit here.
I wanted to get up, but she held her hand and held her down and said, "Just sit here and stay with me." "That brat can go over there. I don't think he's that angry yet."
"..." She blinked her eyes innocently and helplessly and looked at Xu Du.
He just smiled and said, "Okay, I'll sit here so it won't be in your eyes." He walked over to the chair on the left and sat down.
Then he looked at her again with peach blossom eyes, "Old lady, do you know what your name is?" He paused for a moment and said, "Come on, I don't want grandsons, grandson-in-law."
The old lady wasn't angry either. Instead, she said confidently, "That's me! What's wrong!"
"My grandson-in-law is so obedient and well-behaved. You are just born to make me angry!"
"I'm old, not stupid. I want your disobedient grandson instead of my obedient grandson-in-law."
Yes, he said one sentence, and she responded with three sentences. It was simply too biased, no, it was completely biased.
Only Wenqing blushed with embarrassment. "Granddaughter-in-law" once again made people so embarrassed that they could not look directly at this title.
When she first started chatting with her, she corrected her many times, but the old lady still kept calling her.
She really didn't know that a meal trip would become like this. She felt a bit like a parent, and it wasn't just a simple meal at all.
She glanced at the man sitting across from her with a little annoyance and looked at her with a smile. It was too much.
She only seriously knew she was her girlfriend on the road just now, yet she just 'agreed' to meet her parents within half an hour. This... was like cutting it off first and telling her later.
"Okay, just be happy." Xu Du didn't care about the old lady's plausibility.
"Of course I'm happy," said the old lady.
"Come, grandma's good granddaughter-in-law, let's eat. These Longjing shrimps are delicious. Try them." The old lady happily put a Longjing shrimp into her bowl and said with a smile.
Holding the bowl with warm hands, she was flattered and bent towards her with great gratitude, "Thank you, grandma, I can do it myself."
"Try it, it's delicious." The old lady shook her head and gestured to her.
It was hard to resist the warmth and kindness. Under her burning and passionate eyes, he picked up the shrimps, chewed them in his mouth, swallowed them and said, "It's delicious, thank you grandma."
Then he picked up the serving chopsticks on the side, stood up slightly, held the chopsticks in one hand under the wrist, stretched out the chopsticks towards the Longjing shrimp, picked up one, and put it into the old lady's bowl.
He took back his chopsticks with a slight smile and said, "Grandma, you should try it too." After saying that, he sat back down in his seat again, put down the serving chopsticks, folded his hands on his legs, and looked at her gently and politely.
"Okay, I'll try it too." The old lady was surprised and pleased by her behavior and the gentle and courteous etiquette at the table.
She really has a lot of self-cultivation in her bones. A small gesture can show her education and etiquette. This little girl is so lovable.
