There is a cute wife at home: Mr. President, please hold on

"This carpet is made of orangutan felt, and there is orangutan blood in the dye to make it so beautifully red."

Zhen Jiabao was even more surprised when He Lianquan said this. Although she tried her best not to complain, the hand held by He Lianquan reflected her thoughts.

"Don't get me wrong, no matter how beautiful this orangutan felt is, we can't kill innocent people in order to use this kind of carpet. These materials were actually purchased from the dark market after we came to Sicily. It is said that they were bought from Something from the palace."

He Lianquan said this lightly, but what Zhen Jiabao heard was not much better than when he heard the material used for this carpet just now.

There is no need to repeat the history of that year. It is not difficult to imagine that things from the Chinese court would end up in the market in Sicily. However, since it is such a valuable thing, why is it used to make carpets?

It seemed that he was still rich and powerful, Zhen Jiabao became more and more afraid to speak, and began to think in his heart, if He Lianquan's grandfather held a check for tens of millions and said to himself that he could get the money as long as he left Helian Quan, What to do?
The carpet was embroidered with dark gold patterns, even if Zhen Jiabao was ignorant, he could tell that those patterns were embroidered with gold thread, but why did this road lead to nowhere?

Zhen Jiabao raised his eyes boldly, only to realize that when he entered this room, he just entered the hallway, and there were only some antique shelves with crystal covers beside him, and the things stored inside looked like stacks of stacks to Zhen Jiabao RMB.

There is a distance of more than ten meters between the front and the back of the hall, and the more you walk in, the more you feel the heat on your body. Zhen Jiabao looked inside curiously, and was led by He Lianquan to turn a corner before he really walked into the restaurant of He Lian's house. .

Turning around a [-]-open flower-and-bird screen that faintly exudes fragrance, the whole picture of the restaurant is displayed in front of Zhen Jiabao's eyes.

Perhaps it was because of the time when Helian’s family moved to Sicily. Even though he was in this foreign country, Zhen Jiabao looked at every arrangement in the mansion with a strong sense of history, especially after turning around the screen. At first glance, I saw a wooden couplet on the wall, and an ancient painting carefully framed in the middle.

"The past is as far away as the sky, and the lovesickness is as deep as the sea."

Even Zhen Jiabao, who knew nothing about calligraphy, could see the strength of the handwriting on the wooden couplets, and the inscription on the ancient painting in the middle shocked Zhen Jiabao even more.

"That's... that's He Tingzhi's painting? It's just too reckless to hang it in the restaurant so casually."

As a famous painter in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the paintings handed down by He Tingzhi have already fetched sky-high prices in the market. When Zhen Jiabao heard from Uncle Ji that He Lianquan's father liked to collect antiques, he had carefully learned about it in order to choose gifts.

It's just that he didn't expect such a precious painting to hang in the dining room of Helian's family—Zhen Jiabao didn't think about the authenticity of this painting at all, and he was full of regrets about whether the gift he brought was too cheap.

Now Zhen Jiabao really understands, why both Uncle Ji and He Lianquan insist that there is no need to prepare gifts?Isn't it because even the carefully prepared gifts are probably commonplace in the eyes of the Helian family!
After turning the screen, the first thing you see besides the couplets and paintings on the wall is the arrangement like an ancient living room.

There are three sandalwood chairs on the left and right sides. A vase of red plums is placed on the small table between each two chairs, and an incense burner with green smoke curling up is placed in the middle.

It's just that although the layout of this restaurant has already amazed Zhen Jiabao, it also made Zhen Jiabao sigh that it is really not easy to have a meal at Helian's house, and it is really annoying to turn left and right.

Fortunately, He Lianquan didn't mean to wander around with Zhen Jiabao any more, and walked through a carved moon door on the left side of the room to the real place to eat.

I don't know if it's because of the rules of the big family, since Zhen Jiabao was taken out by He Lianquan this morning, he hasn't seen any traces of servants on the road. It wasn't until he actually stepped into the door of this restaurant that he realized that he was just serving in this room. There are seven or eight servants.

I really don't know why there was such a battle for breakfast, Zhen Jiabao boldly glanced at Patriarch Helian who was sitting on the main seat, but he happened to meet the old man's sharp gaze.

"Grandpa, aunt, father, good morning."

He Lianquan didn't feel the embarrassment of Zhen Jiabao beside him at all, he calmly greeted the elders at the dining table, and took Zhen Jiabao to sit down.

Zhen Jiabao was intimidated by old man Helian's eyes just now, so he sat obediently beside Helian Quan and dared not raise his eyes again.

"This is the first time I bring my wife to meet some elders, Jiabao, call someone."

He Lianquan reminded Zhen Jiabao with a smile, Zhen Jiabao took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to pull out a smile.

"Grandpa, aunt, hello father, I'm Zhen Jiabao."

As soon as Zhen Jiabao said this, he wanted to bite off his tongue, which was really embarrassing!

But fortunately, the elders didn't seem to have any objections. He Lianwei, who happened to be sitting opposite Zhen Jiabao, seemed to be a little sleepy, with his eyelids drooping lazily.

And the middle-aged woman sitting next to Helianwei is Helianquan's aunt, and the image is exactly as Zhen Jiabao expected. The grace and luxury of the young lady.

Zhen Jiabao had known for a long time that this aunt had some opinions on him, and this aunt did not disappoint Zhen Jiabao in the slightest. Facing Zhen Jiabao's greeting, she just nodded rather reservedly, with a flat expression.

The old man on the main seat couldn't see any likes or dislikes on his face, he just said calmly with a kind expression: "This is the first time for the two of you to go home together to celebrate the New Year, if you feel uncomfortable, just talk to Uncle Ji explain."

Of course, Zhen Jiabao couldn't follow the old man's words and quickly said modestly: "I don't have any discomfort, and everything is arranged properly."

The old man had a calm expression and didn't say anything.

"Yesterday she was a little seasick. She had a low fever and fell asleep for most of the day before waking up."

In front of the three elders, He Lianquan put his hand on Zhen Jiabao's hand on the dining table, and said calmly: "After breakfast, I'm going to take Jiabao to get acquainted everywhere."

"It should be so."

The aunt suddenly spoke, glanced at the overlapping hands of the two people, and said noncommittally: "The young lady of the Helian family is on the left and right, and it is not an argument to know nothing."

"Okay, come with me first after breakfast." The Helian family has a lot of rules. With a natural expression on his face, He Lianquan couldn't help but shrink his pupils as he added food to the plate in front of Zhen Jiabao. The fingers holding the handle of the exquisite porcelain spoon almost broke the spoon with all his strength. He took two deep breaths before maintaining his calmness. Take a spoonful of bird's nest and eat it.

My nephew who has been raised since he was a child has been seduced by a girl who doesn't know. Not only did he contradict me last time, but now he takes care of this girl in front of them when he brings him home. It's clear. I'm afraid they will bully this girl's posture.

angry!

He Lianquan didn't notice his aunt's gaze, but Zhen Jiabao, who was startled, accidentally looked up and saw his aunt's gaze back. The smile on his face froze, and he didn't eat the food that He Lianquan brought over.

He Lianquan didn't care about Zhen Jiabao's refusal, he just smiled and no longer intentionally showed his care for her.

Zhen Jiabao who ate this meal was very depressed. Compared with Xishan Villa, the breakfast at Helian's family can be regarded as extravagant and exquisite, but the atmosphere of the meal was too deserted, so no matter how delicious it was, she couldn't eat it. pharynx.

It’s just that Zhen Jiabao finally understood why Uncle Ji would stay by the dining table every time he ate at the Xishan Villa. When he came to Helian’s house, Zhen Jiabao realized that it was considered a privilege to have only Uncle Ji serving by him during meals. frugal.

"Grandpa, I'm done eating."

When the old man put the bowl in his hand on the table, Helian Quan also put down the bowl in his hand, wiped his mouth and said calmly.

The old man nodded and glanced at Zhen Jiabao.

"It's the first time I'm home, so I'll chat with your aunt later."

Although the old man's words sounded like he cared, but there was also a hint of indifference. Zhen Jiabao quickly put down the chopsticks in his hand and nodded seriously.

It's a pity that no one waited for her to reply. After saying this, the old man stood up directly from his seat, and was supported by the old housekeeper who had been waiting not far behind the old man to walk towards the side door of the restaurant.

"come on."

The old man coughed lightly twice while talking to Helian Quan.

He Lianquan shook Zhen Jiabao's hand, and hurriedly went forward to support the old man with the old housekeeper, one left and one right, and he was still concerned about his body.

Zhen Jiabao looked helplessly at He Lianquan leaving with the old man, and felt that he was like a little sheep strayed into the wolf's lair, innocent and pitiful, just arrived at Helian's house and had to face the boss-level aunt alone .

My aunt's movements were elegant and gorgeous when she was eating, and she didn't make any sound. After watching the old man and Helian Quan leave the restaurant together, she lowered her head and concentrated on eating the breakfast in front of her. It didn't seem like she was going to treat Zhen Jiabao What do you look like.

Zhen Jiabao could only deliver breakfast to his stomach bit by bit with trepidation, but because he just woke up at three o'clock in the morning and ate something, he is not too hungry now, and his eating movements are slow and stiff.

Sitting across from Zhen Jiabao, He Lianquan's father didn't chew slowly like the others. He held the bowl with one hand and raised his head to drink the remaining half bowl of bird's nest, and then put the bowl on the table .

"It's the first time I came to the door, and I don't have any gifts for you. I brought two jade pendants back from an auction in Sushili last time. You and him will come to me and take them away later."

Without looking at Zhen Jiabao at all, He Lianquan's father said indifferently where he was looking at the corner of the wall.

"Okay...thank you father."

Zhen Jiabao didn't know how to answer this question, rather than saying that He Lianquan's father's kindness surprised Zhen Jiabao, it would be better to say that this indifferent attitude made Zhen Jiabao puzzled.

He said he wanted to give gifts to himself and He Lianquan, why didn't he even look straight at him?

Zhen Jiabao untimely began to wonder if he was really so ugly that He Lianquan's father refused to even look at him.

Perhaps it was because of being relieved by Zhen Jiabao's father's words, Helian Quan's father's drooping old face suddenly twitched slightly, and then turned his head even more awkwardly.

"It's just a small gadget that I bought casually, and I put it away."

After saying this, He Lianquan's father threw the handkerchief that he had just wiped his mouth on the table, and got up and left leisurely.
