Years ago, Gu Yun still remembered the reason why Wen Jue called him to come home.
At that time, she said that her parents were getting divorced, and she hoped that Gu Yun, as a one-in-a-million excellent boyfriend, could make Chi Jianglan see that even without her father providing a wealthy life, her daughter did not need Chi Jianglan to worry about her future.
Half a lifetime of happiness.
But when he walked in and sat down, Gu Yun found that his future mother-in-law didn't seem to have any intention of talking to him. They only talked about the news and the weather, and most of the topics remained superficial.
Chi Jianglan is a typical Hangzhou woman.
She looks particularly feminine. Even a strong woman in the financial field can still see the charm of a Jiangnan beauty in every smile and gesture.
"Xiao Gu, I heard from Juezi that the coffee justice that is all over the streets in Hangzhou is the industry you created, right?"
The topic progressed step by step, and the gentle Chi Jianglan finally asked a topic that she was more interested in.
"Yes, in fact, the company is mainly worried about Orange. Most of the time I am the hands-off shopkeeper. She is really capable."
In terms of emotional intelligence, Gu Yun has learned a long time ago what to say in any situation.
Bragging in front of the mother-in-law will only bring you down, and praising her daughter in various ways is the standard answer.
Seeing Wen Jue with a flushed face and a happy smile on her lips, Chi Jianglan was a little more satisfied with Gu Yun.
The two people looked at each other with an indescribable love in their eyes.
As a mother, what exactly do you want to see?
In fact, for her, it is not money and wealth of universal value.
Not to mention Wen Qingshan, even Chi Jianglan herself or the company shares obtained by Wen Jue can already guarantee her wealth, freedom, and food and clothing.
What matters most to her is whether the boyfriend Wen Ju chooses can bring her happiness and whether he truly loves her.
At this point, Chi Jianglan, who knows many people and has suffered a setback in her marriage, is confident enough.
If Gu Yun came here because of Wen Jue's looks or body, I'm afraid his true colors would be revealed in just a few words.
So what if you have more money? So what if you have more wealth?
Even if there is a marriage between two people, if there is no love, it is destined to be a tragedy.
In any case, she doesn't want her daughter to fall into this tragedy again.
"Xiao Gu, what kind of food do you like? Auntie is going to cook."
It was getting late and the sun had already set. Gu Yun and Wen Ju's family chatted for a long time, and everyone was feeling a little hungry.
"Auntie, I'm not picky about food. You can do whatever you want."
Chi Jianglan stopped Gu Yun who wanted to go to the kitchen to help, and the latter quickly added.
"My mother is making her famous Hangzhou cuisine again."
Seeing Chi Jianglan enter the kitchen, Wen Jue put his arms around Gu Yun's neck and whispered.
The two sat on the sofa and watched TV for more than ten minutes. Chi Jianglan took three plates of food and put them on the dining table.
"It's time to eat~"
The moment he sat down at the dining table, Gu Yun discovered what Wen Jue's signature Hangzhou dish was.
She is worthy of being a mother-in-law who came from the Jiangnan water town. Even the meals she cooks by herself are full of meaning.
The two dishes are Dongpo Pork and Steamed Pork with Lotus Leaf Vermicelli, and a staple food of pancakes and fried dough sticks.
Chi Jianglan followed the standard rule of not eating after lunch, so Wen Jue and Gu Yun ate it, which was just the right amount.
If you like a historical figure, commemorate him on your taste buds.
People in Hangzhou remember Su Dongpo's meritorious deeds in Hangzhou, and take a bite of the fat but not greasy Dongpo pork. In memory of Yue Fei, the famous anti-gold general, they serve steamed pork with lotus leaves and rice flour.
If you don't like someone, kill him on your taste buds.
The people of Hangzhou hated Qin Hui so much that they not only made him kneel in front of the statue of Yue Fei, but also bitten a cypress wrapped in green onions, which is a pancake wrapped in fried dough sticks, to vent his anger.
"Mom, Gu Yun and I will go out for a walk later."
After Wen Jue had eaten and drank enough, he put down his kuaizi and glanced at Chi Jianglan.
The CEO of a big company who is all-powerful outside also needs approval and reporting when he returns home and goes out at night.
"Okay, I don't worry about you and Xiao Gu going out. Xiao Gu, would you like to give you some recommendations on where to go?"
Chi Jianglan smiled and nodded. After spending so long with Gu Yun, she was very satisfied with this gentle and educated future son-in-law.
Even the food she cooked just now, Gu Yun could explain everything, which shows that he not only studies tea culture, but also has a good knowledge of history.
What she didn't know was that as a civil servant for ten years, it was almost common for some old leaders to talk to young people about history. Gu Yun really worked hard at that time.
"No, Mom, I just want to play with him."
Hangzhou people essentially like a comfortable, poetic life.
If you can play, you need a place to play.
There are many "playing places" in Hangzhou. It can be said that all corners are beautiful.
The people of Hangzhou, who live among the beautiful lakes and mountains, have made traveling around the mountains and rivers into a life custom. They are particular about when and where to enjoy the scenery.
Gao Lian of the Ming Dynasty wrote about the happy life of Hangzhou people in the four seasons in "Review of the Four Seasons" -
Enjoy the secluded scenery in spring: see plum blossoms under the moonlight at Gushan, see cauliflower at Bagua Field, try new tea at Hupao Spring, simmer bamboo shoots at Xixi Tower, see Xiaoshan at Baochu Pagoda, see peach blossoms at Sudi, etc.
Summertime secluded appreciation: looking at the new greenery on the Su Causeway, talking about the moon on the Sansheng Stone, taking refuge in the Feilai Cave, collecting water shields in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, etc.
Enjoy the secluded scenery in autumn: enjoy the sweet-scented osmanthus all over the house, watch the moon at Shengguo Temple, listen to the spring after the rain in Shuile Cave, play the Liuhe Pagoda at night, etc.
Winter scenery: looking at the snow-covered river from the top of Sanmao Mountain, playing in the snow on Xixi Road, watching dinner at Zhenhai Tower after snow, climbing Wushan Mountain to see the pine basin on New Year's Eve, etc.
Ever since Wen Ju was a child, her father was away from home all year round and went to Shanghai to work hard for her career. Her mother carried her to almost every corner of the city during every holiday.
Even if she goes to college for such a long time, the guides in Xiaoju's book are enough for two people to play.
"Remember to go home early."
When sending her daughter and her boyfriend out, Chi Jianglan did not forget to warn her when she saw Gu Yun carrying the suitcase consciously.
...
"What are you doing with the suitcase? Just stay in the spare bedroom?"
Wen Jue looked at the suitcase in Gu Yun's hand and asked curiously.
"I don't understand. It's my first time at my girlfriend's house. Even if I have a place to stay, it's definitely not appropriate to stay. I'd rather stay in a hotel."
Gu Yun pinched the bridge of Wen Jue's straight nose and told her.
"Oh, I really don't understand. Who is like you? You have met so many parents in advance, huh."
Wen Jue turned his head angrily and walked in another direction.
Hangzhou is still lively in the evening, and before the New Year smell has dissipated, people are already handing out flyers on the roadside.
Because the comfort and luxury here have long existed, "the southeast is beautiful, the three Wu cities are there, and Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times." The ancestors of Hangzhou people are not only rich, but also not ordinary rich.
Lin'an in the late Northern Song Dynasty was the largest metropolis in the southeast.
The tertiary industry in Hangzhou was very developed at that time. There were rice markets, vegetable markets, firewood markets, meat markets, fish markets, silk markets, tea markets, books markets, flower markets, and other markets. The singing and dancing in West Lake was even more outstanding.
Day and night.
At that time, Hangzhou was really a "gold sales cave".
Of course, if you want to sell money or do business now, Hangzhou is definitely the first choice as always.
Wen Jue knew this very well. After taking two steps, he remembered what he had just said and turned to face Gu Yun angrily.
"You are not allowed to stay in the hotel by yourself!"
