Rebirth of an old friend into a dream

The elegant and charming temperament of the foreign girl suddenly reminded Shi Yinian of the actress Juliette Binoche who co-starred with Johnny Depp in the love movie "Chocolate". The appearance at that time is eye-catching.

Qin Xuan took two steps forward, before he had time to say hello, the woman stepped on her high-heeled shoes and sped over, rushed towards Qin Xuan and hugged him, kissing each side of his face: "?afaitlongtempsqu' onnes'estpasvus!" (Long time no see!)

Qin Xuan also responded to her in French, then gently pushed her away, stretched out his hand to pull up Shi Yinian behind him, and introduced in Chinese: "This is my classmate, Shi Yinian. This is my uncle's daughter, my cousin Sis, Sophie!"

Shi Yinian was hesitating whether to say hello in English or a simple "Bonjour!", when he heard the white girl smile and say a string of Beijing dialect with perfect pronunciation: "Hello, classmate Shi Yinian! I can call you Just read it? I am a Chinese-French mixed race, and my Chinese is excellent! You can test me anytime!"

Shi Yinian was moved by her easy-going kindness, and said with a smile, "Hi, Sophie! Nice to meet you!"

"Oh, Yi Nian, you are a bit old-fashioned! You are very similar to the grandpa of the Qin family! Come on, let's go shopping together." Sophie casually took Shi Yi Nian's hand, and led him into the depths of the alley. Yi Nian looked back at Qin Xuan nervously, Qin Xuan looked at the two of them with a smile on his face, and waved his hand to signal him not to worry.

Dressed in the warm autumn sunshine, Shi Yinian was led by Sophie all the way through a tall and mysterious library building, and walked into a courtyard with a small garden, simple pavilions, towering old trees, and clear pool water. It makes people feel as if they have traveled to the Qing Dynasty.They stepped on the bluestone path, and when they reached the end, they saw a new Chinese-style courtyard villa, not the quadrangle courtyard that Shi Yinian imagined.

He stood outside the villa curiously and looked up at the exterior walls and eaves of the villa. Sophie stood at the door and shouted: "Brother! Qin Xuan's dream lover is here! Come out and greet him!"

Shi Yinian almost stumbled, his ears were red, and suddenly the door of the entrance opened, and a huge crowd of people walked out quickly one after another like a line.

Shi Yinian had never seen such a big battle, and he was "out of the closet" openly. He wished he could dig a hole and get in. He unconsciously stepped back a few steps, and bumped into the chest of Qin Xuan who was standing behind him. Qin Xuan held his arm.He raised his head and glanced at Qin Xuan, and saw that Qin Xuan was not embarrassed at all, but instead stared at him dignifiedly and affectionately, making his face flushed.

"Cough!" At this moment, an angry old man said, "Why are you bluffing, what do you look like, have you forgotten how to treat guests!"

"Yes!" The Qin family's father, mother, uncle, brother, brother's secretary, and housekeeper who just came flying out like moles all stood in a row with lowered eyebrows, and after a while they looked at the newcomer curiously. Newly arrived little guests.

Qin Xuan pushed Shi Yinian to the grandfather of the Qin family, and Shi Yinian hurriedly bowed his head and greeted respectfully: "Grandpa, hello."

"Yeah." Qin's grandpa was dressed in a Tang suit, with white hair and a youthful face, hale and hearty. Although he had a serious face with a sense of majesty, for some reason, he was not afraid of him at all when he thought about it, but felt that he was very kind and kind.He poked the ground twice with his walking stick, and the butler behind him bowed and handed over a big red envelope, and when he handed it over, he said: "Hey."

Shi Yinian was taken aback, panicked, glanced at Qin Xuan, saw him nodding with a smile, then glanced at Qin Jia unconsciously, the unsmiling Qin Jia also nodded invisibly, and glanced at Qin's father , mother, and uncle all smiled with crooked eyebrows, and encouraged: "Take it, take it."

The grandpa of the Qin family impatiently grabbed Shi Yinian's right hand that was hanging at the side, and forcefully stuffed the red envelope into his hand with a slap: "Why? Look down on grandpa's little kindness?"

"No, it's my first visit, and I haven't prepared any gifts for you yet. How can I accept your red envelope?"

The grandpa of the Qin family seemed very satisfied with his explanation, coughed dryly and said: "Then next time you come, remember to bring a gift for grandpa. There is no need to bring gifts from other people. They all have hands and feet and will buy them by themselves."

Shi Yinian saw the corners of the Qin family's father, mother, and uncle lowering their mouths at a glance. It was obvious that they disapproved of Grandpa's eccentric view. The elders who are over 100 years old together are as pure-hearted as children. My son fell in love with them, and replied with a smile: "Okay, Grandpa. I will definitely remember your words."

It was only during the dinner at night that he understood why the Qin family was so kind and friendly, without the hypocrisy and conceit of a big family.

The elders of the Qin family introduced themselves one by one.

The grandfather of the Qin family, Qin Hongru, was born and raised in Hong Kong. After expanding his business abroad, he opened a branch office here in the provincial capital where his ancestral home is located.

The father of the Qin family, Qin Yongzhou, also studied in Hong Kong, studied in the United States, and traveled to the United Kingdom and Australia since he was a child. In addition to sharing part of the family's business, he often took his wife to live in other countries for a short time. "The playboy.The mother of the Qin family, Yin Zixia, was originally an editor of a magazine, but later resigned and became a freelance writer. She often wrote travel diaries and contributed articles, and even published books.

Qin Yueze, the uncle of the Qin family, is a painter and a single nobleman. His daughter Sophie is the product of a night of drunken romance in France. Sophie lived with her French mother Precilia when she was a child, and she often came to Qin's house after she was admitted to university, which can be regarded as a recognition of her ancestors.
