Huo Shen's grandfather turned around slowly. The aura of his many years of military service made him remain serious at all times.
But when he saw Huo Shen leading a girl in a red dress with skin as white as snow and a stunning appearance, a smile suddenly appeared on his serious face.
Huo Shen's grandfather had a kind face at this time. Just as he was about to call Lin Jiu, the elegant old lady standing on the second floor of the spiral staircase shouted excitedly, "It turns out that my granddaughter-in-law is here."
Everyone in the hall was so surprised by the two old men's behavior, which was completely different from usual, that they were stunned for a long time.
"Grandma, I brought Lin Jiu to see you." Huo Shen waved his hand, and Xicheng handed the bags to the housekeeper.
"Hey kid, you've brought so many gifts to see me. You're so polite." Huo Shen's grandmother had already walked up to the two of them. "My granddaughter-in-law is so beautiful. Come and let grandma take a good look at you."
Huo Shen's grandmother held Lin Jiu's hand, and the two of them sat on the sofa. Huo Shen's grandfather also wanted to sit over, but was driven by his grandmother to sit opposite the sofa.
The other people in the hall were all Huo Shen's aunts and uncles. At this time, they also gathered around the sofa and looked at Lin Jiu kindly.
Although Lin Jiu was not nervous about being suddenly noticed by so many people, he felt a little surprised.
Because I had investigated Huo Shen before, he lived in Compound No. 49 in the Imperial Capital when he was a child. It was a compound for high-ranking officials and all the buildings were small two-story buildings. I didn't expect that the old house Huo Shen mentioned was in such a remote place.
Huo Shen's grandmother kept holding Lin Jiu's hand. Although her grandmother was old, her hands were in very good condition.
"It's getting late today, so grandma will go to the kitchen and make you dinner."
Huo Shen quickly stopped her, "Grandma, you're exhausted from cooking so many meals by yourself. There's a chef at home, so why bother yourself?"
"Then at least make one dish. This is my gift to you." Grandma still insisted.
Lin Jiu felt that grandma was very kind, and she didn't have the distant and majestic feeling of a lady at all. "Okay, grandma, I will be your assistant and help you cook this dish."
"Great, it turns out my granddaughter-in-law can cook. How did our Xiao Shenzi find a treasure girl like you?"
Xiao Shenzi?
When grandma said this word, Huo Shen was stunned for a moment.
Lin Jiu said to his grandmother proudly, "Grandma, I'm not very good at cooking, right, Xiao Shenzi."
Lin Jiu deliberately called Huo Shen "Xiao Shenzi".
"Grandma, Xiaojiu is too modest. In fact, she knows a lot more. You will slowly understand it in the future." There was no emotion on Huo Shen's face, but he stretched his foot under the coffee table and stepped on Lin Jiu's foot.
However, Huo Shen's action was seen by his grandfather, who kicked him directly.
Lin Jiu almost couldn't help laughing.
Grandpa finally felt it was his turn to speak. "Okay, you all should stop cooking. It's my granddaughter-in-law's first day here, how can I let her do the cooking? The environment and scenery around our house are nice. Xiao Shenzi, take my granddaughter-in-law for a walk. We'll call you when it's time for dinner."
"Okay, Grandpa."
Huo Shen grabbed Lin Jiu's hand and led her out of the living room and towards a pavilion in the garden.
"How are you? Are you nervous?" Huo Shen sat on the stone bench in the pavilion. "There were too many relatives at home just now, so I couldn't introduce them one by one."
"How can I be nervous when Xiao Shenzi is with me?" Lin Jiu leaned against the stone pillar of the pavilion and looked to the west. The sunset had begun to set.
"This is the nickname my grandparents called me when I was a child. You are not allowed to call me that in formal occasions from now on."
"Then what should I call you? Little Huozi? Or little pervert!"
"You're not listening." Huo Shen grabbed Lin Jiu's wrist and made her sit on his lap. "Little pervert? What do you want me to do to you, huh?"
"Huo Shen, are you here?" A cold male voice came from the garden.
Lin Jiu quickly stood up and stood beside Huo Shen.
