Volume 2, Chapter 160: Fate
Shangguan Ruoli felt that the young scholar had no ill intentions and was considered sensible. He did not pester him in the embroidery room. He probably wanted to repay his kindness, so he did not stop him from following him.
If he was serious, he would know who they were by checking in the embroidery room, so since he had no ill intentions, there was no need to bother hiding.
Several people arrived at the door of the store and saw that Chen Mingdong had just returned and was unloading goods.
Chen Mingdong greeted, "Brothers and sisters, are you out?"
Because the blind date didn't work out, he saw that they were a little embarrassed and uncomfortable.
Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile: "I went to the embroidery room. Did you just come back?"
"Dad!" The young scholar came over quickly, his eyes as bright as stars.
Chen Mingdong turned around, was surprised, and said with a smile: "Qingyun, why are you here? Are you going to give something to your classmate?"
Chen Qingyun blushed and glanced at Da Ya, saying: "Dad, this girl is my son's savior."
Chen Mingdong was stunned and laughed loudly, "What a coincidence. I didn't expect that the savior Qingyun is looking for like a maniac is none other than Miss Dongda."
Only then did Da Ya realize that the person she saved was a dull scholar who didn't want to go on a blind date with her. She was immediately ashamed and annoyed, glared at Chen Qingyun, and ran into the store.
Chen Qingyun looked at Da Ya's back with frighteningly bright eyes. He was lost in thought for a long time and refused to look away.
Chen Mingdong looked at his son's stupid look with his mouth open, and the smile on his face became bigger and bigger. He joked to his son: "Don't look at it, everyone has been in there for a long time!"
Chen Qingyun came back to his senses, his face was as red as blood, and he said helplessly to Chen Mingdong: "Dad!"
Chen Mingdong gave him a calm look, smiled at Shangguan Ruoli and said: "Brothers and sisters, look, the eldest girl saved our Qingyun family, we have to express our gratitude. Can you take some time to bring it with you?
How about a few children go to the humble house to have a meal and try my wife’s cooking?"
Shangguan Ruoli understood what he meant and said, "I'll ask Da Ya what he means."
Chen Mingdong smiled and said: "Okay, okay."
"Then you get busy first." Shangguan Ruoli returned to the shop and went to the backyard to find Daya.
Ling Yue pointed at the room and said, "Sister Da Ya locked herself in the room."
Wulang's black and white eyes were also flashing with gossip, "What happened? Sister Daya is so weird! Her face is as red as a monkey's butt!"
Shangguan Ruoli laughed and pinched his little face, "Okay, let's go play with my sister."
Ling Yue smiled and pulled Wu Lang away.
Shangguan Ruoli knocked on the door and said, "Da Ya, open the door."
Daya opened the door, looking a little uncomfortable. She lowered her head and said: "Fourth Aunt, come in quickly."
Shangguan Ruoli walked in, "What's wrong? Do you regret saving that Chen Qingyun?"
Daya asked Shangguan Ruoli to sit down, poured her a glass of honey water, and said in a low voice: "I don't regret saving anyone, it's just... it's quite unexpected."
Shangguan Ruoli took a sip of honey water and asked: "Chen Mingdong invited us to visit his home. Thank you for being a lifesaver. Will you go?"
Da Ya said in shame and annoyance: "No! Why don't they look at each other if they don't want to see each other? If they say they do, they will look at each other!"
Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile: "I just said thank you for your life-saving grace. I didn't mention anything about whether I look at you or not."
Da Ya's face was as red as pig liver, and she stomped her feet in shame, "Hey, fourth aunt, you, eh!"
Covering his face with his hands, he didn't know what to say.
Shangguan Ruoli understood clearly and joked: "Do you think Chen Qingyun is okay?"
Da Ya said in embarrassment, "I'm just a nerd. I, I don't... don't know if it's okay or not!"
When Shangguan Ruoli saw her like this, he understood and said, "We have to be reserved and not go to the Chen family as guests. Let's see what that kid thinks."
The eldest girl almost lowered her head to her chest and nodded slightly, "I listen to my fourth aunt."
Unexpectedly, at night, Chen Mingdong and Chen Mingnan’s family came, carrying large and small packages of gifts, saying they wanted to thank Da Ya. Da Ya was shy and hid away.
Because Chen Mingdong and his wife Zheng were Chen Qingyun's parents, they were embarrassed to say anything other than words of gratitude.
Chen Qingyun was anxious on the side, but he didn't want to show it too obviously.
Chen Mingnan smiled and said: "I didn't expect that Miss Dongda and Qingyun would have such a fate. They are really connected by a thin thread!"
Mrs. Chu, the daughter-in-law of Chen Ming, smiled and said: "No, there is a saying. We are destined to meet each other thousands of miles away, but if we are not destined to meet each other, we will not meet each other. The Yue Lao in the sky is watching, and he will not let a pair of destined people miss it!"
Chen Mingdong said repeatedly: "That's right, that's right."
Zheng also said: "Yes, I failed the Qingyun Scholar Examination before and had no time to think about anything else. Now I feel better."
Chen Qingyun blushed, "Mother."
Zheng smiled heartily and said: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about that. In fact, it doesn't matter if you fail the exam. You can just take the exam again next year, but you can't delay your normal life."
Chen Qingyun said with shame: "My parents have to worry about it because my son is not sensible. He will never do it again."
Mrs. Zheng snorted coldly, pretending to be angry and said: "Humph, don't think about the future. I have married you a wife. From now on, your daughter-in-law will take charge of your affairs. I will not interfere in your affairs as a young couple!"
This is to show her attitude. After Chen Qingyun gets married, she will not interfere too much.
Chen Mingdong smiled and said: "Young people are willing to live a sweet life between two people. I just thought that after Qingyun gets married, I will live in the small courtyard that is rented out now and will not rent it out to candidates in the future."
Chen Mingnan laughed and said, "Brother and sister-in-law are better off. In the future, we will also learn from you."
Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said nothing, pretending not to understand what they meant.
Chen Mingdong was not one to be coy. He patted his thigh and said directly: "My son fell in love with Miss Dongda at first sight. My wife and I also really want to be related. Brothers and sisters, look..."
Shangguan Ruoli had already thought of his excuse: "I'm just an aunt. I have to report this matter to the elders in the family and my niece's parents and ask them to make up their minds."
Chen Mingdong and others all said: "That's the truth."
But he had made up his mind. Mr. Li had come to visit him before, so he had no objection to their family. As long as the two children could look at each other, this would probably work.
Chen Qingyun didn't want him to be so dull and pedantic on the surface. He came to deliver something every day, rain or shine, a basket of fruits, a few bottles of preserves, a few clay figurines...
It’s not worth much money, and it doesn’t say to whom it’s given, and it doesn’t ask to see Da Ya, and it won’t give private things to people. Anyway, it sends some fresh little things every day, and everyone knows it’s for Da Ya.
Da Ya already had a good impression of him, but slowly, she started to look forward to it every day. I wonder if it was because she was looking forward to Chen Qingyun's gift or because of his intentions.
Shangguan Ruoli saw this and asked Qianlima's people to send a message to the family. The family was preparing for Da Lang's wedding room. As for the wedding, they said they would wait for Da Lang's wedding before talking about Da Ya's marriage.
Dalang followed Dongming Ziyu to Beijing, and Shangguan Ruoli was calculating the date, really afraid that they would delay Dalang's wedding day.
Dongming Ziyu had already arrived in the capital and saw a large shop. The location was very good and decent, but he couldn't find a room to open a dim sum shop, so he thought about finding a small store nearby to open a delicious dim sum shop.
shop.
Dongming Ziyu took Dong Youliang, and Dalang was wandering on the street looking for a shop. Suddenly an old man wearing silk satin rushed out from the restaurant next to him.
The old man looked like he was not thinking clearly. Without saying a word, he knelt down in front of Dongming Ziyu with a "pop".
