Wen Qian even took half a day off and waited at home. He was obviously worried about something, and he didn't respond much when Wen Feng spoke to him.
The door said, "Master Qi Wu has arrived!"
Feng Ge'er hurried out to greet him.
I saw the man, riding a chestnut horse, wearing a black cloak embroidered with gold thread.
He dismounted from his horse at the door, cleanly and neatly, with a sense of elegance.
Feng Ge'er's face was full of envy and he stepped forward to greet him.
Qi Wu was followed by two followers, one of whom was Mu Bo, and there were two cars behind him.
Mu Bo handed over the gift list, and the Wen family’s housekeeper took it with a nod.
The two of them went into the house together.
Although they had met once, Wen Qian and Qi Wu had not spoken in front of the emperor. Now seeing him come in, they felt a little embarrassed.
"Qi Yang, meet Uncle Wen!"
"Master Qi." Wen Qian looked at the man in front of him, still doubting in his heart, will this be my son-in-law? "Oh, this is my second brother, Wen Yu's second uncle."
"Uncle Wen. Qi Yang and Uncle Wen have met before."
Wen Feng was quite happy when he heard this, "Yes! I just didn't have time to talk more. Come on, sit down. We're going to be a family soon, so don't be polite!"
It was hot in the room, so Qi Wu took off his cloak and his follower took it.
He turned around and sat down, his upper body straight, his hands on his knees, with a military demeanor.
Wen Qian secretly sighed: I have never seen such a young man in my life! "Have you taken up the position that the emperor arranged for you?" Wen Qian found a topic.
"I have been there."
“Do I have to be on duty every day?”
"There will definitely be a ten-day grand court meeting. On weekdays, it's not so bad. It's almost the New Year, so there's not a lot to do."
"Oh. I heard that you have been studying in the Qin family academy for many years. Aren't you going to take the imperial examination?"
"The Emperor has already arranged something, so I won't take the test for now. I may try again in the future."
"...Then you study literature. I heard that the place you are going to now requires some martial arts skills."
"During the years I was studying at the Qin family, Master Wu was always by my side!"
This is a combination of civil and military skills! "You have studied in the Qin family academy for so many years, it's a pity not to take the imperial examination. I don't know how far you have learned, otherwise I will make my debut..."
"Brother! What are you doing? This is the first time Master Qi Wu comes to visit. What kind of questions are you asking?"
Wen Qian was actually just trying to make small talk, but Wen Feng stopped him and glared at him.
Wen Feng asked: "Qi Yang, every winter, I go to Zanquan Villa with my friends to stay for a few days. Does the Qi family have a hot spring villa near the capital?"
"There is one. But I'm not at home all year round, so I've never been there."
"Oh, then what do you do in Beijing?"
"Actually, I just recently moved to Beijing. These days, I have friends who want to play ball with me, and listen to music in Houhai."
"If there's anything fun in the future, call Uncle Er!"
"become."
Wen Qian glared at Wen Feng again and said, "How can you, as an elder, hang out with the younger generation?"
"Let's go to the back and meet the old lady!"
A group of men entered the backyard.
The son-in-law is a very important relative, and all respectable families will pay special attention to him!
The back hall was tidy and decorated with flowers...
Old Mrs. Wen dressed up early in the morning and sat here waiting.
No matter what she thought of Wen Yu, she admired Master Qi Wu first-rate, not to mention the wonderful opportunities he brought.
Yuan and Wu have already started the handover of the kitchen. The two of them were talking in a corner.
A few girls also arrived.
Wen Yu is the way a girl dresses when entertaining guests at home. Her clothes and jewelry are exquisite yet casual...
As for Wen Huan, today she was wearing a white dress with pink peony patterns on it, which looked fresh and charming, as if she had changed into spring clothes.
Wen Jiao rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Second sister, is this your new spring outfit? The color is so light! Among all of us sisters, you are the most eye-catching. Isn't that right, eldest sister?"
She implied that Wen Huan was trying to steal Wen Yu's limelight.
Wen Yu glanced at Wen Huan and nodded without any attitude: "Third sister is right!"
Wen Wan is a bit cunning, she knows that dressing up is useless, and she is trying to please Wen Yu recently, so she can't offend her. So she looks like a girl in the boudoir, not outstanding, but not shabby either.
Wen Huan was not afraid, and smiled: "I wanted to wear it when I went to the palace a few days ago. I was also worried that it was a little early! But when I went there, I saw that many people were wearing it. Third sister, didn't you see it too?"
"Of course I saw it, but that was in the palace! At home..." She didn't finish her sentence.
Nanny Song came in nervously: "Here he comes! Old Madam, Master Qi Wu is here!"
"Stop talking! Stand still!" Old Mrs. Wen ordered them.
The door curtain was lifted and Feng Ge'er came in first: "Grandma, uncle, father, and Young Master Qi Wu are here!" This silly boy grinned and looked very happy.
Wen Qian came in first, and then his figure flashed by.
Qi Wu also came in...
Everyone's eyes lit up again! What is "again"?
Because Qi Wu was also wearing a white long gown!
The base color of Wen Huan's skirt is exactly the same! It's as if they both wore it like this on purpose! Before anyone else could react, Wen Huan's face suddenly turned red and he panicked. He was excited and happy, and he felt like he had slapped Wen Yu in the face. He felt relieved...
Then she looked at Qi Wu without blinking her eyes.
Qi Wu's face was no longer swollen or blue, but rather purple...
But the handsome young master Yu was not affected at all!
"Mrs. Wen!" Qi Wu bowed. Then he bowed slightly to the Yuan family and other women. His eyes were straight and he didn't see Wen Huan who was dressed the same as him.
However, when he saw Wen Yu standing next to Old Madam Wen, he looked at her seriously, then nodded slightly.
Wen Yu looked at Qi Wu's face and his clothes which were almost the same as Wen Huan's, and was a little speechless...
What is he doing!
"Mr. Qi Wu! Please take a seat!" Old Mrs. Wen greeted him and then introduced her two daughters-in-law.
Yuan looked at Qi Wu carefully, and his heart was filled with shock.
When she first knew that Wen Yu was engaged to him, she thought: Maybe he is a short, fat and ugly guy who is attracted by Wen Yu's looks.
Although he felt uneasy when he caused a sensation in the palace, he thought: If he is so good, why did he choose Wen Yu?
Now I know that her reputation is well-deserved! When the old lady introduced her, she forced a smile and said nothing.
Nanny Song took the gift list from outside and handed it to Old Madam Wen.
It seems that the gifts outside have been counted.
Old Mrs. Wen took a symbolic look and saw the first few... Ho! Ginseng and deer antlers, in pairs.
"Your mother is too detailed!" Old Mrs. Wen was not a person without knowledge, but she was somewhat flattered by the Qi family's attitude.
Several men sat down.
The old lady then asked, "Did Master Qi Wu hurt his face while playing ball?"
"No. I bumped into him a little while practicing martial arts at home."
"Have you seen a doctor?"
"It's a minor injury, it will heal in a few days."
"It's not convenient for our two families to visit each other during the New Year. My family has prepared New Year gifts. I'll have my eldest grandson Feng Ge'er deliver them later!" He thought to himself, the gifts should be even better! We can't let the Qi family look down on the Wen family!
"Thank you very much! Madam Wen, my mother asked me to ask you something: On the third day of the New Year, the Cui family, my grandparents' home, would like to invite you to bring Miss Wen as a guest. Then on the fifth day, the Crown Prince's Mansion would also like to invite Miss Wen as a guest. I wonder if it is convenient for your family."
Qi Wu was honest and got down to business right away.
The Crown Prince made a fuss several times and insisted on seeing Wen Yu.
The old lady couldn't stop laughing, didn't she understand the problem here...
When he went to the East Palace, he only said "Please come in, Miss Wen!" Because that's what the Crown Prince said!
"It's an honor for the Wen family! On the third and fifth day of the New Year..." The old lady pretended to be reserved...
"Mother said that the Wen family had just arrived in Beijing and must have made many arrangements. The old lady didn't need to rush to reply. If the family really couldn't make any arrangements, mother said that she would come to pick her up in person..."
The first "she" refers to Mrs. Qi, and the second "she" refers to Wen Yu.
The tone... was intimate.
Wen Yu thought to herself: I wrongly blamed him before. This guy really can't think flexibly.
Wen Qian and Old Madam Wen looked at each other. Madam Qi really didn't treat Wen Yu as an outsider!
But you're being a little too distant with us, aren't you?
So it doesn't matter if we go or not, Wen Yu just needs to go?! When Madam Qi told her son, she certainly didn't expect that he would repeat it exactly as it was...
This is a bit embarrassing.
