Wangjiang Tower was cleared, and Lina did not attract any more onlookers.
It's just that Xu's father and Xu's mother had already learned about Linna through Xu Ziwen's servant, and suddenly there was a foreign daughter-in-law. Xu's father and Xu's mother were a little at a loss.
"What does this foreign daughter-in-law look like? Xu Yao hesitated and didn't explain clearly just now. He just asked us to be mentally prepared... Are foreigners still different from us? Do they still have three heads and six arms?"
Naturally, Xu's father didn't know, so he only tried to prevaricate Xu's mother.
"We'll find out later."
The two of them didn't wait long at the door when they saw the Xu family's carriage and the palace carriage approaching together.
"Is Zilan back too?"
"What's your name Zilan? That's the empress!"
Seeing the carriage getting closer and closer, Xu's father quickly corrected Xu's mother's address. Only then did Xu's mother realize that Xu Zilan was not only their daughter, but also the queen of the palace, and they had to salute when they met her.
"Yes, yes, it's the empress. The empress is back too!"
Since Xu Zilan entered the palace, she has not been back home for the past six months except for the day she returned home. However, Xu's mother often ran to the palace, so she was not unfamiliar with her daughter.
"mother!"
Xu Zilan got out of the carriage first, Zhao Jing supported her behind her, and also greeted Xu's father and mother.
"Father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"I have met the emperor, empress."
Xu's father and Xu's mother looked frightened. The son-in-law's high status was also a burden. They all felt flattered that Zhao Jing lowered her arrogance.
"Mom and dad, get up quickly. Why are my family so polite?"
Xu Zilan turned her head and glared at Zhao Jing. She had already said that she would not let him follow her. After all, her parents were both businessmen and they were afraid of meeting officials, let alone the emperor.
But Zhao Jing insisted on following, and she couldn't kick him off the carriage.
"That's the Emperor, you better restrain yourself and don't get too petty with him!"
Xu's mother was frightened to death when she saw Xu Zilan staring at Zhao Jing. Later, when she saw that Zhao Jing didn't blame her, she felt a little more relaxed.
"It's okay. You don't have to be afraid of him. He has long been used to my daughter's temper."
People who are favored are confident. Seeing her daughter's pampered look, Xu's mother didn't understand why her son-in-law was willing to indulge her. She said these words just to worry.
"As long as you know what's going on, mother can't control it."
Xu's mother clapped her hand, feeling proud and worried at the same time. However, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and their marriages must be managed by themselves. How can parents interfere.
"How about the sister-in-law your brother found? Is she really the legendary one with three heads and six arms?"
The Xu family's carriage was still behind. Xu's mother was curious and couldn't help but ask.
Xu Zilan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Her mother was more imaginative than her, but thinking that she was shocked when she first met Linna, Xu's father and mother would definitely be shocked later, so she gave them a vaccination first.
"It's not that it's three heads and six arms, but it does look different from us. Just be mentally prepared for it later."
When Xu Zilan said this, Xu's mother became even more curious, and at this time the Xu family's carriage also stopped steadily.
Xu Ziwen got out of the car first, and then reached out to help Linna get out of the carriage.
Xu's mother saw a tall, blond and blue-eyed woman coming out of the car. When she saw her, she ran over and saluted her in broken Dayan dialect.
"You must be my mother, right?"
Linna smiled brightly, but Xu's mother was confused.
This foreign daughter-in-law does not have three heads and six arms, but her appearance is too strange.
She smiled awkwardly and replied.
"You must be Lina..."
"Well! I have been hearing about you in articles, and now I finally see you in person. You are so young and beautiful, just like the female Bodhisattva in the myth of Dayan."
Lina racked her brains to praise her, but her tone was sincere, and her poor Dayan dialect became a bonus at this time. Who doesn't like to be praised for being young and beautiful? Mother Xu was so happy that she smiled happily, and all the strange ideas in her heart were thrown away.
From the back of my head, I find this foreign daughter-in-law particularly pleasing to the eye.
"What the hell, your icy skin makes you look like a fairy in mythology. Moreover, your golden hair is pretty and your eyes are beautiful."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started to praise each other, and the atmosphere was particularly harmonious for a while. Xu Ziwen was worried that his parents could not accept Linna before, but now he realized that this worry was simply unnecessary.
Lina is lively and sweet-tongued, no one will dislike her.
After returning to Dayan from overseas, Xu Ziwen sees something new everywhere. He often takes Lina out these days. The two foodies don't go anywhere else. They only go to food shops, especially food courts, which are a good date for the two of them.
place.
At first, people were watching for Lina's appearance. Later, she came more frequently and everyone became accustomed to it. Especially this Western girl liked Dayan's delicacies very much. The people treated her with honor and friendly attitude.
Linna felt more and more that Dayan was getting better.
"You should have brought me back sooner!"
She grabbed a handful of kebabs in her hand and said while eating that Lina no longer had any relatives overseas, so she would not miss home. She thought she would not adapt to it before, but when she arrived in Dayan, the food, clothing and housing were better than
It was a hundred times better overseas, and Linna quickly fell in love with it.
"You can stay longer if you like."
Xu Ziwen can't stay at home for long. He has to continue to go to sea. Maritime trade has just taken shape, and he still needs to continue to follow.
"good."
Linna nodded heavily. She must eat enough before leaving this time, otherwise she would only have dried vegetables, fish and shrimp to eat at sea, and eating barbecue and hot pot would be a luxury.
Xu Ziwen brought a lot of good things when he went to sea this time, not only Western clocks, but also foreign dresses, weapons and armor, as well as gemstones and crystals that ladies like.
The Xu family's shop has a constant flow of customers, all of whom come to buy Western goods. However, there are too many customers and the supply exceeds demand. The only way to buy them is through bidding. The only people who can buy them are the rich in the capital, and others can only stay away.
"Hey, that crystal lamp is so beautiful. It's a pity that I don't have that much money, otherwise I could take it home."
"Yes, I have taken a fancy to that piece of ruby. It would look great if made into a necklace. But this piece was bought by Lin Shangshu's wife, so I can only look at it."
"It would be great if Uncle Xu Guo could bring more things back when he goes to sea next time, or if our people can follow him..."
Because of the things Xu Ziwen brought, everyone was full of curiosity about overseas. Jiang Miao had another idea in her mind when she saw Linna who was visiting her home.
"Lina, are you willing to help me with my work?"
"What kind of work? Miao Ya can tell you."
Linna is still very good to this friend, and she has already agreed after hearing Jiang Miao's words.
"My academy is short of a foreign language teacher. Are you willing to teach them foreign languages?"
Maritime trade has been opened up, and more foreigners will definitely come to Dayan in the future, and foreign languages have become a necessary means of communication. Her idea is to prepare for a rainy day.
