Chapter 256

Gu Yining saw the gate of Xiao's courtyard and walked step by step. Seeing the housekeeper Lao Wang waiting there early, he immediately stopped his steps and stepped on pure sheepskin crystal shoes with thin heels, showing a confident and elegant smile to the housekeeper.

Seeing Gu Yining, Lao Wang immediately greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Miss Gu, here you are! Please come inside." Lao Wang bowed down and made an invitation gesture.

"Hello, you must be housekeeper Wang? I've heard a Cheng say you. My name is Gu Yining. Just call me Ning." Gu Yining smiled and nodded. He was very polite, showed a good tutor and left a good impression on Wang.

"I know a Cheng has brought you a lot of trouble from childhood to Dadu. Thank you for your help. I came in a hurry today and didn't bring you any gifts. It's impolite. I'll make it up for you next time."

"You're welcome, Miss Gu. Miss Gu is really a lady of the family. She's really extraordinary. The master and wife are waiting for you. I'll take you there." housekeeper Wang was amused by Gu Yining, and his favor for her suddenly rose.

"OK, that's really troublesome. In that case, let's go in quickly and don't let the master and wife wait too long." Gu Yining couldn't help being excited.

Gu Yining followed the housekeeper Lao Wang into the front hall. The Xiao family is worthy of a century old family. The style scene is not inferior to the ancient family mansion. Although the decoration is not as luxurious as the ancient family, it is better than the natural lush, with an ancient flavor unique to the south of the Yangtze River. Although the Xiao family can no longer be compared with the Gu family, the Xiao family is also a scholarly family. Gu Yining thought that marrying such a family would not be a loss making business.

Through the secluded and deep path, the front is the main hall of Xiao's courtyard. All kinds of exotic flowers and trees are planted on both sides of the road. There are many strange stones with unknown names on the rockery. Looking from a distance, it is like being in the former green paradise, like a flowing painting. It is so beautiful that people can't move their eyes, which forms a strong contrast with the city life with many tall buildings outside.

It turned out that Gu Yining was also curious about why Xiao Yicheng had such a free and easy and indifferent temperament, which fascinated her. Now it seems that it has a lot to do with the environment in which he grew up. People living in such a scholarly family must be elegant, modest and polite to people.

Gu Yining looked at the scenery on both sides of the road and was unconscious. She didn't even hear the key old Wang call her.

"Miss Gu, Miss Gu?" Gu Yining was still intoxicated in the sea of flowers. The voice of the housekeeper Lao Wang startled her, and looked at Lao Wang in a daze.

"Ah?" Gu Yining turned his head in a panic and looked blankly.

"Miss Gu, the young man is the main hall. If there is no accident, the master and wife should be waiting for you there." housekeeper Wang smiled, "what? Is the environment here very good? Don't underestimate these flowers and plants. They are valuable! They are more valuable than my old life!

Our master doesn't have any other hobbies. He likes to fiddle with flowers and plants. Although the yard is large, many flowers and plants are trimmed by the master himself. It will cost a lot of money to ask a gardener in peacetime. Therefore, the master does it himself. He not only exercises his body and cultivates his morality, but also saves worry that others will damage his flowers and plants. Look over there, that's it Are the flowers beautiful? "

Following housekeeper Wang, Gu Yining listened to housekeeper Wang's introduction as she walked. For the first time, she found that pruning flowers and plants was also an art. Looking along the housekeeper's hand, a cluster of blue roses drilled through half of the marble decorative wall and opened alone.

That gorgeous and bright color, demon but not vulgar, stood out in this noble garden and attracted people's attention at once.

"Blue rose?" Gu Yi Ning opened her eyes and looked at housekeeper Wang incredulously.

Although ancient love is not a professional flower, it can also be said to be a learned person. She is very fond of incense, and likes to arrange some different perfumes in her spare time, so she knows very well about flowers. She also studies abroad, her eyes are broadened and she has heard many anecdotes, but this blue rose is her first time. What's more, it's such a beautiful sky blue.

Housekeeper Wang smiled and showed an unfathomable expression: "Does Miss Gu feel fresh? Ah, this blue rose is the first time I've seen it. I heard that it's very expensive. The master sent people around to get it back from New Zealand. When it was transplanted here, everyone was afraid it couldn't live, so they deliberately left a space for it. Unexpectedly, the flower was very well fed. It grew so lush in a summer."

Gu Yining has gained insight. She thought that old man Xiao, who once dominated the business world, was just like most men. Unexpectedly, she had such a soft place in her heart and was right to serve plants.

At the same time, Gu Yining also fell into deep thought. Life is such a beautiful thing. A small seed is buried in the soil. If people don't care about it, it will slowly take root and sprout, break through the soil and grow up healthily. No matter how much resistance there is, it won't give up. A seed has such great vitality, not to mention people?

Gu Yining regretted that she shouldn't have let go so easily at the beginning. Xiao Yicheng said she would break up if she broke up and make up if she made up. If she had the momentum of seeds, she wouldn't be eaten by Xiao Yicheng.

Chat time always passes so fast. When talking, we have reached the gate of the main hall. Both Mr. Xiao and Jiang Yi are discussing engagement. Now everything is ready. We only owe Dongfeng. Only after Gu Yining's confirmation, Mr. Xiao will start to do it immediately.

"Ning Ning, you can count it." Jiang Yi has been waiting outside the door for a long time. For Gu Yining, the eldest lady of the ancient family, Jiang Yi never dares to neglect. Xiao Yicheng made a mistake first. Jiang Yi didn't dare to neglect Gu Yining either for Xiao Yicheng or for Xiao's sake, so she had to give her up.

Jiang Yi greeted her with a smile, took Gu Yining's hand and took her to the room. "My good child, have you eaten? Do you want my aunt to ask someone to cook something for you?"

"Don't bother, aunt, I've eaten all of them." Gu Yining was excited and nervous. His hand held by Jiang Yi seemed to be as stiff as losing consciousness, and he was sweating all the time.

"Come on, come and sit inside. You're welcome. This will be your home in the future. We're a family. How can we be restrained in our own home? Although it's not as rich as your home, there's everything you should have. Just say what you want to eat and what you want. Move in when you get married with a Cheng.

You don't know, Ning Ning. I haven't seen you for two or three days since I last saw you. I think you can't think about it. Maybe this is fate! I can't see you. It's like a kitten scratching in my heart. It's itchy! The old man and I called you over at noon. I don't know whether to disturb your father's rest. "

Jiang Yi affectionately took Gu Yining and hugged her shoulder, kissing a little more than ordinary mothers and daughters.

"Aunt, you're so kind. I like the environment here so much! In fact, even if you don't ask me to come today, I'm going to visit. I left in a hurry, empty handed, and didn't bring any gifts to you and uncle." Gu Yining bowed his head in a bad way.

"Madam, is Ning Ning coming?" Xiao Hai came from the inner room: "you're coming, Ning Ning, come on, come on, come on, come on, it's great that you're coming. Your aunt and I still have a lot of things to decide!"

Xiao Hai is leaning on a crutch and is careful to move his steps. His legs and feet are not very flexible. People are easy to get sick when they are old, and the decline in physical quality is not a little. In the past, it was good to have a cold and fever when they were young. There is no need to see a doctor. A slight bump when they are old will kill the old man.

"OK, uncle, please slow down." Gu Yining stepped forward, held Xiao Hai and accompanied him step by step.

"Ning Ning, you are really a good child. It's his blessing for Acheng to have a girlfriend like you, and it's also the blessing of our Xiao family. My dream in this life is to have a daughter. My daughter is good. It's mom and dad's * * * intimate little cotton padded jacket. Unlike my two sons, they keep * * heart all day for a moment."

With the help of Gu Yining, Xiao Hai sat on the sofa and showed a gratifying smile. Jiang Yi followed Xiao Hai in and looked at the picture in front of her. She was very unhappy.

Gu Yining sat opposite Xiao Hai with a confident and polite smile on her face. Even if she spoke in front of the elders of the Xiao family, she was still right. The attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, showing the elegant demeanor of a young lady.

"Uncle is really funny. Elder brother Yizheng and Acheng are excellent men with successful careers and harmonious families. In my opinion, you are really happy, and Acheng is a very filial person. He often mentions you and aunt in front of me. You are a person he respects very much. I am very happy and lucky to be with Acheng."

"Ning Ning, I've chosen the date of your engagement. At the beginning of next month, your aunt and I invited someone to see it. It's an auspicious day, and it's not far or near today. It won't let you and a Cheng wait too long, and there's enough time to prepare.

But you see, there are still many things that haven't been implemented in this detail. Your aunt and I are old. Now the times are changing too fast. There are many fashionable things. Our ideas have fallen behind. I don't understand your young people's ideas. Instead of being dissatisfied with them, I'd better let you choose for yourself. That's why I came to you today.

You don't have to worry about the place and price of the ceremony. I've decided. In the largest hotel in the city, we can guarantee the scenery. We can't wronged you anyway. This is also an explanation to your father and your brother. The style of the ceremony is a combination of Chinese and Western styles. At the beginning of the ceremony, you and a Cheng wore Western-style dresses. When we toast, I prepared it for you Traditional Chinese clothing, Chinese tradition can't be lost!

I want your aunt and you to have a look at the specific style of clothes today. I can make an outline. Now we still have plenty of time, but it's okay. If you don't like it, you don't have to force it. Don't be embarrassed. Tell us that I have an old friend abroad who specializes in this industry, and I'll give it to him, You don't have to worry at all. "

Although Xiao Hai is old, his words are still reasonable and clear. He has the same style as in the past, and has the momentum of being a family leader.

Xiao Hai and Gu Yining talked happily. They didn't bother. They silently looked at each other and didn't speak. The children's marriage should be a great joy, but Jiang Yi couldn't be happy anyway. Perhaps because all this is a scam from the beginning, so fake can never be true. Even a hypocritical smile is far fetched.
