Chapter 1176 is actually a household registration check
After going out, Chai Yan followed the route Xiaokui told him and found one of the gouache shops.
With the help of the shop assistant, Chai Yan carefully selected several high-grade gouache supplies, all of which had a leisurely and elegant smell. Because in Chai Yan's perception, a woman of Yuanyuan's mother's status would never
Suitable for varieties that are brightly colored and have a strong fragrance.
Of course, it's not enough to just bring gifts to the mother-in-law. The father-in-law must also be taken care of, and you can't favor one over the other.
So, on the way to Jimo Mansion with the gouache supplies he bought, Chai Yan started looking for a tea shop.
Among the three things, tobacco, wine and tea, Chai Yan is more inclined to give tea, because tobacco does not exist in this time and space, and wine is a bit vulgar. The key is that he does not know whether his father-in-law is good at wine, so in summary, tea is the safest and most reliable
Spectrum.
The capital city is prosperous, so tea shops are naturally easy to find. After walking for a quarter of an hour, Chai Yan discovered a pretty good tea shop.
After spending some time, Chai Yan finally selected the tea leaves, and then ordered the store to package them carefully before continuing to walk to Jimo Mansion.
When he arrived at Jimo Mansion, it was around the end of the morning. Chai Yan tidied up his clothes before going up and knocking on the door of Jimo Mansion.
Soon, the concierge opened the door. When he saw a young man carrying large and small bags with a smile on his face, he asked: "Excuse me, sir, are you Lord Chai Yanchai?"
Chai Yan immediately nodded and said, "It's me, it's me. Did you know I was coming?"
The concierge nodded and said politely: "Back to Lord Chai, my master specifically told me before going out that Lord Chai will be here today. Please don't let your mind wander and wait attentively."
Then, the concierge welcomed Chai Yan into the house and enthusiastically took the things in his hands.
The concierge said: "Master Chai, Madam and the two young ladies are already in the garden. Please come with me..."
"Thank you." Chai Yan said.
Afterwards, Chai Yan followed the concierge and walked towards the garden of the mansion.
When he arrived at the entrance of the garden, Chai Yan saw three women sitting in the pavilion in the garden.
Judging from the appearance, it should be Mrs. Jimo, Jimo Qiao and Yuan Yuan.
At this time, the three of them were sitting in the pavilion talking, and occasionally they could hear some happy laughter. Chai Yan recognized the laughter as soon as he heard it. Who else could it be if it wasn't Jimo Qiao.
Following the concierge and walking halfway to the pavilion, Jimo Qiao spotted Chai Yan and shouted loudly from the pavilion: "Chai Yan, why did you come here?"
Chai Yan smiled slightly and nodded in response.
Normally, Chai Yan would have shouted a word or two back to Jimo Qiao, but now that there were elders present, and under the eyes of his mother-in-law, Chai Yan naturally had to restrain himself.
When Mrs. Jimo saw Jimo Qiao yelling like this, she immediately frowned and said, "Qiao'er, can you please pay attention to your manners? My daughter's family..."
"Mom, I'm just saying hello. What does it matter? I'm not an outsider." Jimo Qiao didn't care and had already regarded Chai Yan as one of his own.
Yuan Yuan didn't speak, but watched Chai Yan walking towards him with joy in his heart, observing whether Chai Yan had changed in any way during this period of separation.
The same goes for Chai Yan. As he walked all the way to the pavilion, his eyes only stayed on Yuan Yuan's face, filled with joy.
When Chai Yan walked to the pavilion, Jimo Qiao and Yuan Yuan both stood up. Mrs. Jimo was still sitting at the table, looking at Chai Yan kindly.
"Junior Chai Yan, I have met my aunt." Chai Yan stood on the edge of the pavilion, bowed and cupped his hands.
Mrs. Jimo smiled and said: "No need to be polite, come in and sit down."
"Thank you, aunt."
Chai Yan thanked him, then took the gift from the concierge, walked in and put it on the table in the hall, saying: "It's a little thought, I hope my aunt likes it."
Jimo Qiao immediately came over and opened the gouache box unceremoniously. While smelling it, he exclaimed: "Wow! Chai Yan, you are really good at picking things. This smell is exactly what my mother likes..."
..”
After saying that, Jimo Qiao opened another box and smelled it, nodded vigorously and said: "Yeah! This box is not bad... Well, this one is also pretty good..."
Jimo Qiao's attention was immediately focused on the gouache supplies.
Not only Mrs. Jimo frowned because she felt rude, but even Yuan Yuan felt that Jimo Qiao was rude. He couldn't help but pulled her and stopped her in a low voice: "Qiaoer..."
"What do you look like? Sit down honestly!" Mrs. Jimo said with a serious face.
Jimo Qiao had no choice but to sit down obediently, but her hands were not idle. She took the tea bought by Chai Yan and started reading again.
This was the first time that Yuan Yuan was with Chai Yan in front of his mother, and his cheeks immediately turned rosy, feeling shy and at a loss.
Mrs. Jimo smiled and said: "Chai Yan, don't be restrained. Come and drink tea. It's just been brewed."
"Thank you, Auntie." Chai Yan thanked him again, then walked to the table and sat down firmly.
Immediately afterwards, Yuan also sat down.
After sitting down, Mrs. Jimo didn't say anything, she just looked at Chai Yan with a smile.
At first, Chai Yan could pretend not to care by drinking tea, but as time went by, Chai Yan felt a little embarrassed. He thought to himself what was wrong with his mother-in-law, why was she just staring at him without speaking?
Could it be that there are flowers on the face?
Chai Yan had already drank more than half of the cup of tea, and finally couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his face, and said with a surprised look on his face: "Auntie, is there something wrong with my face...?"
Mrs. Jimo smiled and shook her head, saying, "No, I'm just curious and want to take a closer look. Don't worry."
"Uh..." Chai Yan was stunned, not understanding what this meant. Does his mother-in-law still have this hobby?
Jimo Qiao then spoke: "Chai Yan, you don't know, my mother knows how to read faces. She wants to take a good look at your face, so she knows what you are like."
"No, my aunt actually knows how to read faces. This is amazing!" Chai Yan was really surprised, so he exaggerated a lot when he spoke.
Mrs. Jimo smiled and waved her hand, and said modestly: "It's not worth mentioning, it's just for fun. It's not worth mentioning, haha..."
Chai Yan then asked what he wanted: "Auntie, do you think this junior's face is okay?"
As he spoke, Chai Yan leaned his upper body forward and turned his face towards Mrs. Jimo.
Mrs. Jimo nodded seriously and said: "The appearance of great wealth and great honor!"
"That's right!" Chai Yan suddenly smiled like a flower, cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, aunt, thank you very much, aunt!"
Mrs. Jimo smiled and shook her head: "You grew your face yourself, and I didn't pinch it out. Why are you thanking me?"
Later, Mrs. Jimo asked about Chai Yan's family situation. When she heard that Chai Yan was alone in this world, she suddenly felt sad and sympathetic.
In this way, the four of them started chatting happily in the pavilion while drinking tea. It seemed that they were all chatting together, but in fact, most of the time was spent by Mrs. Jimo asking questions and Chai Yan answering.
As for Chai Yan and Yuan Yuan, they had no time to talk about themselves.
Mrs. Jimo's questions were also varied. She asked about the day Chai Yan was born, what kind of food he likes, and asked about Chai Yan's master, asking about his life with his master since he was a child, and where he had been.
, what books have you read, what kind of people have you met? Wait, wait...
Chai Yan answered carefully, but he already understood in his heart that if he dared to come here today, it was actually to check his household registration!
