When eating at noon, Sun Yumeng was very absent-minded.
There is a saying that the emperor is not in a hurry to kill eunuchs. Yue Heng bought a second- and third-rate antique calligraphy and painting and said that he had missed it. He would give it to the old man of the Xu family as a meeting gift. She, an outsider, was worried.
Worried about Yue Heng screwing up.
"Why don't you eat?"
Xu Jingchu picked up a salt and pepper lamb chop for her cousin, and said, "This tastes good, eat it while it's hot."
"Sister, how can you still eat!"
Sun Yumeng was speechless, pulled Xu Jingchu and bit her ear: "There will be three trials tonight!"
The Xu family in the capital city is a large family, with thousands of main branches and collateral members.
Grandfather Xu Huairen belongs to the eldest family of the Xu family. He has seven children in total. Although these children have already married and established businesses, they have developed in different industries and have their own careers.
However, the old house in the capital has always been the core of the family.
As for the most beloved daughter of the third generation of the Xu family, Xu Jingchu, who just turned 18, had no right to make decisions about her marriage.
The key lies in Xu Huairen's attitude.
The children of a big family enjoy the resources of the family, and of course they have to make contributions to the family.
Even sacrifice!
Sun Yumeng is very aware of how popular her sister is in the circle of the capital.
There are several big families whose strength is comparable to the Xu family, and they conveyed the idea of ??marriage to Xu Huairen through different channels.
As for the pursuit of Xu Jingchu by those wealthy children, they are full of tricks!
Everyone knows that Xu Jingchu has a boyfriend.
But no one took it seriously.
The reason is very simple, Yue Heng's identity is not compatible at all.
The relationship between Sun Yumeng and Xu Jingchu is very good, and she is a rebellious age. She really hopes that her sister can get real happiness.
The meeting tonight is undoubtedly a crucial test.
If Yue Heng can get Xu Huairen's approval, then even if he comes from an ordinary background, it won't be a big problem.
The reverse is very bad!
Just at this juncture, Yue Heng acted calmly, while Xu Jingchu
Sun Yumeng was worried for the two of them!
Xu Jingchu held her younger sister's hand, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "It's okay, don't worry."
She didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Yue Heng's gourd.
But Xu Jingchu has absolute confidence in her boyfriend, and also believes that Yue Heng will not let her down!
She met Yue Heng's eyes and smiled happily.
Sun Yumeng felt that she was already full of dog food.
In the evening, the three of them came to Xu's old house.
The Xu family's old house, located in the second ring road of the capital, is a large courtyard house with a long history.
The Xu family's children, including Xu Jingchu, all had the experience of living in this old house.
Tonight's Xu family's old house was extremely lively. Five of Xu Huairen's seven children came, plus their children's relatives and friends, and many other guests were present.
? The spacious front hall was full of voices.
When Yue Heng and Xu Jingchu appeared hand in hand, the hall suddenly became quiet.
All eyes were on the young couple.
? Surprised, curious, puzzled, joking, ridiculed
Especially the eyes looking at Yue Heng, most of them are not kind.
A child from a poor family actually wants to steal the daughter of the Xu family, without weighing his own weight!
Especially the few young people present looked particularly unhappy.
But even those who are prejudiced have to admit that the tall and handsome Yue Heng and Xu Jingchu are a perfect match in terms of appearance alone. No matter their height, appearance, temperament or attire, they are all impeccable!
It's just that it makes people even more uncomfortable.
"grandfather."
Xu Jingchu ignored the strange eyes from relatives and friends, and pulled Yue Heng to an old man: "Let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend Yue Heng."
Her voice was not loud, but everyone in the hall could hear her clearly.
Xu Jingchu has a demure and gentle demeanor, but her heart is stronger than ordinary people.
She used this straightforward method to announce the existence of Yue Heng to everyone.
Express your resolve too!
The audience was silent.
Yue Heng saluted politely: "Grandpa Xu, hello."
Xu Huairen's appearance is six to seven points similar to Xu Jingchu's father, Xu Yuntian. It can be seen that he was a handsome guy when he was young. Although he is over seventy, his eyes are piercing, his momentum is restrained and not angry.
He looked at Yue Heng with scrutiny for a moment, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Okay."
? Xu Huairen has been in a high position for a long time, holding power in his hands and holding great power. Although he has retired to the old house a long time ago, the power he has developed over the years has not been wiped out. Instead, it has become more and more unfathomable with the passage of time.
Under the oppression of Xu Huairen's eyes, it is rare for ordinary people to barely maintain their composure.
And Yue Heng gave Xu Huairen a very strange feeling.
Although she is only eighteen or nineteen years old, she doesn't have the slightest impetuousness and immaturity of a teenager.
With Xu Huairen's eyesight, he couldn't see through it!
"Grandpa Xu."
Yue Heng took the painting tube from Sun Yumeng, and presented it with both hands: "I heard that you like antique calligraphy and paintings very much. This gift is not considered a respect, so please accept it."
"Ah."
Xu Huairen chuckled, cast a meaningful glance at the anxious Sun Yumeng, took the painting tube and said, "It's too expensive."
He casually handed the painting tube to the middle-aged man standing beside him: "Open it for me to see."
The middle-aged man skillfully removed the lid, took out the calligraphy and paintings stored inside and unfolded it.
"Huh?"
Xu Huairen glanced at it, and said in surprise: "Isn't this the snow fishing picture of Zhang Yuan from Jubaozhai?"
The middle-aged man nodded: "That's right, I heard that it hasn't been sold for four or five years."
Everyone's expressions suddenly became strange.
Zhang Yuan?
Haven't heard of it!
Haven't sold it in Jubaozhai for four or five years?
That must be worthless stuff!
The real boutiques never worry about selling.
Xu Jingchu's little boyfriend actually came to the door with such a pair of calligraphy and painting, and he really came from a small family.
Has the old man never seen the world?
What a joke!
At this time, a young man with a sharp eyebrow and a bright eye came forward and said with a smile: "Grandpa Xu, my grandfather just received a painting of ammonites by Mr. Wu Changshuo, let me bring it for you to taste."
As he spoke, he offered a painting tube.
This man is exactly the Zhong Huaian that Yue Heng met in tkd before!
Many people showed a look of watching the show.
The Zhong family is a big family in the capital at the same level as the Xu family, and the two families have always been married.
Many people are optimistic about the match made in heaven between Zhong Huaian and Xu Jingchu.
Xu Jingchu brought Yue Heng to the door tonight, Zhong Huaian's appearance couldn't be just a coincidence!
"well."
Xu Huairen smiled and nodded: "Your grandpa has a heart."
He looked at Yue Heng again: "Yue Heng, can you tell me why you chose this Zhang Yuan's painting? ?
