In the morning, it was drizzling.
As soon as Wei Chen opened the door, he saw dense slanting raindrops falling gently. The raindrops fell on his face, bringing a little coolness and very comfortable.
Spring is such a romantic season.
Wei Chen took the oil-paper umbrella from Yuan An and opened it. He looked at the peach blossoms that had bloomed on the branches not far away. He couldn't help but feel good. He hummed a relaxing tune and took a leisurely stroll in the drizzle.
The courtyard where Wei Chen lived and the Sheng Mansion were both located in Jiying Lane. It only took less than a cup of tea to walk. After walking for a while, Wei Chen came to the door of Sheng Mansion and asked the concierge to go in and report.
Sheng Hong was still working in the Ministry of Industry today, so he was not at the house. The person who received Wei Chen was Wang Ruofu, the mother-in-law of the Sheng family.
Ever since Wei Chen and the Sheng family were officially engaged, Wang Ruofu had become more and more satisfied with her son-in-law as her mother-in-law, and treated Wei Chen even more affectionately than her own son Sheng Changbai.
It is a bitter experience for Wang Ruofu, who is obviously a straightforward person, but he has a son who looks more like me than me.
Over the years, Wang Ruofu had hardly experienced the dignity of motherhood from Sheng Changbai. Sometimes he had to be tactfully advised by Sheng Changbai, which was really frustrating.
Now that he finally had Wei Chen, a well-behaved and sensible son-in-law-to-be, Wang Ruofu was naturally overjoyed and cherished and loved Wei Chen even more.
As for Wei Chen, he always respected Wang Ruofu as an elder, was polite and showed no neglect in his words and deeds.
After receiving the carefully selected gift from Wei Chen, Wang Ruofu said he was polite, but in fact he almost smiled from ear to ear. He quickly asked Wei Chen to sit down, and ordered his servants to serve tea while chatting with Wei Chen. Talk and laugh.
When Sheng Hong came home last night, he told Wang Ruofu about Wei Chen's selection as the official of Jingyan. Seeing the envious expression on her husband's face when he mentioned this, Wang Ruofu also ate a meal at that time. shock.
Wei Chen is so young, but he has already climbed to a position that even Sheng Hong would envy. His future prospects are simply limitless!
However, such a young talent who has been favored by the Holy Father and attracted the attention of both the government and the public is now carefully flattering Wang Ruofu. How can Wang Ruofu not be elated?
Wang Ruofu felt as if he had taken Shiquan Dabu Pills, feeling ecstatic and comfortable, and his eyes towards Wei Chen became more and more kind.
After holding on to Wei Chen for a long time, Wang Ruofu felt a little tired and let Wei Chen go.
At this time, Wei Chen proposed to go to Shou'an Hall to meet the old lady. Wang Ruofu took it upon himself to lead Wei Chen to Shou'an Hall in person.
After walking through the rockeries in the garden, the two of them arrived at the Shouan Hall in a remote corner.
Wei Chen stood at the entrance of the courtyard and looked into the courtyard, but saw two familiar female envoys standing outside the main room of the courtyard. One was the little magpie next to Ru Lan, and the other was Xiao Tao next to Minglan.
Seeing this, Wei Chen couldn't help but feel a move in his heart.
However, before he could think about it, Wang Ruofu took him through the main door of the main house and said with a smile: "Mother, look, who is here?"
The two Lans, who were chatting with the old lady in the house, heard the commotion and turned their attention to the door of the house. Immediately, they saw the tall figure they had longed for walking slowly behind Wang Ruofu. .
The moment their eyes met, the world seemed to stop. The three of them forgot everything. They could only hear their own heartbeats and see the eyes of their beloved.
Wei Chen never knew that those two familiar pairs of Jianshui Qiu Tong could contain so many emotions, including a bit of joy, a bit of sadness, a bit of obsession, and a bit of anger... …
Wushan is green, the mountains are green, and the green mountains on both sides of the Taiwan Strait greet each other. Is there any separation between the two sides?
The king is full of tears, and the concubine is full of tears. Luo and Dai have not yet formed a heart-to-heart knot, and the tide on the river bank has subsided.
I don't know how long it took, but it wasn't until he noticed that Ru Lan's eyes were gradually turning red and Minglan's eyes were filled with tears that Wei Chen finally realized that he couldn't continue to look at each other like this.
Now he looked away with difficulty, walked slowly to the warm couch where the old lady was sitting, and bowed: "Wei Chen pays homage to grandma. How is grandma lately?"
"Okay, okay, everything is fine."
Naturally, the old lady had already noticed the strangeness of the two granddaughters beside her, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. These two children really had a deep love for Wei Chen, but after not seeing each other for a few days, it was as if they were parted from each other.
Fortunately, an official granted the marriage, otherwise no matter if Wei Chen married any of them, the remaining one would be heartbroken.
"Ru'er, Ming'er, what are you doing standing there, why don't you hurry up and show your respects?" Wang Ruofu glared at Rulan and Minglan with slight dissatisfaction.
Rulan and Minglan came back to their senses, sniffed, smiled, and bowed to Wei Chen: "Rulan (Minglan) has met the young gentleman."
Wang Ruofu frowned when he heard this: "You don't even go to the private school to attend classes, why are you still calling me Mr.? It sounds weird, I should change my words."
Rulan and Minglan hesitated for a moment, then tentatively called out: "Chen..., Brother Chen?"
As soon as the words were spoken, two clusters of blush immediately appeared on the faces of the two women, and they bowed their heads shyly and remained silent.
Eh~~
Wei Chen's heart suddenly trembled, and he subconsciously responded, then returned the favor and said, "Hello, two sisters."
"Ahem!"
Seeing the love between these three junior men and their concubine, the air in the Shou'an Hall was almost filled with tension. The old lady turned her head and glared at Wang Ruofu angrily, and then coughed twice, finally getting rid of them. His thoughts were brought back to reality.
Wei Chen and the two Lans withdrew their gazes and chatted with the old lady and Wang Ruofu. Occasionally, their eyes met in mid-air for a moment, and ripples could not help but appear in their hearts.
The few of them chatted until noon, and the old lady left Wei Chen to have lunch. After they were full of wine and food, the old lady gave an order to expel Wei Chen.
Wei Chen had no choice but to say goodbye to the old lady reluctantly and left Shou'an Hall.
Naturally, the two Lans couldn't leave with him, and could only watch their sweetheart's back gradually disappear from their sight.
After Wei Chen left, Wang Ruofu complained to the old lady: "Mom, Wei Chen finally came here, why are you rushing him back in such a hurry?"
The old lady didn't answer, but turned to glare at Rulan and Minglan, who were still in their own thoughts, and said, "You're still watching! You've been staring at me all morning, and you haven't seen enough? You came here early in the morning to pester me. Even if I say something, I won’t be able to blast you away. Are you so impatient to meet your lover?”
Although the old lady's tone was sharp, she could see that her two granddaughters were on the verge of tears after being scolded by her. She couldn't help but feel soft. She slowed down her tone and persuaded her earnestly: "Although you are engaged now, after all, you are not yet engaged." The more you enter the Wei family's door, the more you are a daughter, the more you must be reserved and self-restrained, otherwise you will suffer a lot in the future!"
After hearing what the old lady said, Rulan and Minglan suddenly realized that everything the old lady did was for their sake, and they quickly nodded and said, "It's all my grandson's fault. I failed my grandmother's hard work."
Wang Ruofu on the side was silent. The old lady seemed to be lecturing her granddaughter, but in fact she was lecturing her daughter-in-law?

Recalling what he had done today to persuade his two daughters to treat Wei Chen affectionately, Wang Ruofu couldn't help but feel ashamed.
But after that, Wang Ruofu said with a worried face: "What mother said is reasonable, but what if Wei Chen gets upset because of this and feels that we are too indifferent to him?"
"Who told you to be indifferent to him?"
The old lady asked back: "Why don't I just leave him to eat today? Isn't this also indifference? There must be a certain degree of control in everything, not too little, not too much. Don't you understand this principle?"
Wang Ruofu was speechless.
