Siheyuan: Spring and Autumn

"Brother Zheng, my parents want to see you."

On the fourth floor of the silk shop, Chen Xueru sat on Qin Zheng's lap, put her arms around his neck and said.

Qin Zheng thought to himself, Chen Xueru is really fast, she is allowed to meet the parents right away!

"When did you tell your parents about us?"

"I took the meat home and they found out about it. So they kept asking me about it, so I told them."

Qin Zheng did not rush to answer, but kissed her cherry lips, his hands constantly wandering over her delicate body, feeling the smoothness from his palms, it was so comfortable!

When the beauty had become as soft as noodles, Qin Zheng's big hands also stopped at the towering part of her chest.

"Don't move. Tell me, when will we meet?"

The delicate and sticky voice made Qin Zheng feel as if his heart was being scratched by a kitten. It was so itchy that he couldn't stop.

After calming down, Qin Zheng asked, "Xue Ru, you decide the time, I'm fine with it."

"This weekend then."

"Okay. Beauty ordered it, so I must do it. I really want to take Beauty home with me."

When a beauty gives orders, you have to obey, but you have to pay the price.

"Oh, be gentle, you wretch!"

Dating is different from blind dating. As for meeting the parents, Qin Zheng has heard from others before that the man must meet the woman's parents first. This shows his sincerity in marrying the woman and also shows his respect for them.

If the woman sees the man first, she may be looked down upon and the man may be considered to be disrespectful to her.

In fact, this matter depends on the region. In some places, the girl meets the boy's parents first.

But Qin Zheng thought that after confirming the relationship, he met Chen Xueru's parents first, which showed his respect for her, so he naturally would not refuse, let alone back down.

Time flies, the weekend is here, and it’s ten o’clock in the morning, at the door of Chen Xueru’s house.

"My home is a typical courtyard house with two entrances and three main rooms, just one stop away from my silk shop..."

Carrying gifts, including the eight Beijing delicacies and the marinated pork from a time-honored brand, Qin Zheng followed Chen Xueru to her courtyard house and listened to her talk about her yard.

Qin Zheng said: "I really like the courtyard houses in Beijing. I must find a way to buy one in the future."

"Really? I..."

Just as Chen Xueru was about to say something, the courtyard door opened from the inside, and a beautiful middle-aged woman with lingering charm appeared.

"Qin Zheng, this is my mom. Mom, this is Qin Zheng."

"Hello, Auntie. I'm Qin Zheng. Auntie, you look really young. If Xueru hadn't introduced you, I would have thought you were Xueru's sister."

Qin Zheng said with amazement and respect on his face, looking at his future mother-in-law with a smile.

This is of course a compliment, but it is not purely for the sake of complimenting. The reason is that Chen Xueru's mother looks really young, beautiful and elegant. I sigh in my heart that with this appearance, she must have been a great beauty when she was young, and she is worthy of being Chen Xueru's mother.

"Haha, you're not young anymore. Qin Zheng, come in quickly."

Ling Qiufang was very happy. This future son-in-law was really good at talking. He sounded so nice. Well, he was worthy of her opening the door personally.

In fact, she was anxious to see her future son-in-law, so she took the job of opening the door from her son.

She looked at the pig in front of her who was trying to eat her cabbage, no, it was a boy. She was very satisfied with the first impression. She quickly and politely let Qin Zheng into the yard and led him to the main courtyard.

In Ling Qiufang's imagination, Qin Zheng should be a tall, mighty man with broad shoulders and a strong waist, otherwise it would be impossible for him to achieve such great results on the battlefield of Chao X.

However, the young man in front of her was beyond her imagination. He was indeed very tall, but slender and upright, with a dignified appearance and extremely handsome. He looked gentle, but with a straight back and full of masculinity.

Perhaps because she was meeting his parents, her face was flushed and she seemed a little shy, but she was calm, confident and graceful, as if the person standing in front of her was a gentle and handsome young man, one of the best.

After all, he is the protagonist, so no amount of praise is too much!

As soon as they entered the main courtyard, Chen Xueru introduced the young man who had come to greet them: "This is my brother, Chen Xuefeng. Brother, this is Qin Zheng."

"Hello, Brother Xuefeng. I'm Qin Zheng."

Chen Xuefeng looked around and spoke: "Well, please come in."

I thought to myself, "This boy is really good-looking and worthy of Xueru. Just from his looks, he is better than Hou Ming."

The main hall of the main house.

Chen Zhiyong was sitting on the armchair. When he saw Qin Zheng come in, he just looked at him indifferently and had no intention of getting up.

Chen Xueru pretended not to see her father and introduced him with a smile: "Qin Zheng, this is my dad."

"Hello, uncle. I am Qin Zheng. This is just a small gift. It is not a token of respect. Please accept it."

Qin Zheng smiled and bowed slightly, his attitude more serious than when he was talking to Chen's mother.

"Well, sit down."

Father Chen said calmly, his tone obviously a little distant.

Hearing him speak, Chen Xuefeng quickly took Qin Zheng's gift, and then asked Qin Zheng to sit down. After everyone in the room was seated, Chen's father asked, "Qin Zheng, you and Xueru have known each other for a short time, right?"

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Yes, Xueru and I met the day before National Day, and it has only been four months."

"So do you really know her?"

"Uncle, four months may seem a little short, but it's enough time for me to get to know Xueru. My acquaintance with her started with fate, was inspired by her talent, matched by her personality, lasted by her kindness, and ended with her character. From the first time I saw her, she occupied an important position in my heart, making me want to get to know her. After several contacts, I was sure that she was the one I was looking for. So, I came here today to ask for your consent to marry Xueru to me. I promise to treat her well and never leave her for the rest of my life."

Listening to Qin Zheng's words, Chen Xueru's face flushed, and tears seemed to drip from her beautiful eyes. Her heart was deeply moved, and her heart softened.

Even Ling Qiufang and Chen Xuefeng were touched and felt that Qin Zheng's attitude and words were sincere and very touching.

Chen Zhiyong also felt that Qin Zheng was indeed good, but he still asked:

"You are still in college, and you still have four and a half years to graduate. Don't you think that's too long? What if you change your mind? That would be unfair to Xueru!"

Ling Qiufang's heart also moved. This was indeed a problem. In four and a half years, when Qin Zheng graduated from university, Xueru would be in her twenties and an old girl.

Qin Zheng's smile remained unchanged as he said calmly, "Uncle is right. Under normal circumstances, it does take that long. However, the law only requires that you can get married when you reach the marriageable age, and it does not say that you must graduate from college to get married, which means I only need to be 20 years old. I think that when I turn , I will get engaged to Xueru, and then get married when I reach the age. In this way, no one will say anything and it will not affect Xueru's reputation. Please believe me, uncle, I will definitely finish my college studies one to two years ahead of schedule."
