Chapter 152 It’s like an old friend returns
My grandfather brought me to a courtyard house.
After entering the door, you will see blue bricks on the ground, quaint and elegant tree-lined paths, and winding paths leading to secluded places. Although the front looks small, it is quite large inside, with a pond and a different scene at every step.
Before entering the house, someone came out to greet me. It was a grandmother who was slightly younger than my grandfather. She had a head full of silver hair and was wearing a dark green bamboo cheongsam. Although she was old, her figure was still graceful, dignified and elegant.
"How long have you not been out, old man? What wind brings you here today?" The old man saw my grandfather and walked towards him with elegant steps.
Grandpa smiled and said, "I brought my granddaughter-in-law to your place to buy some clothes."
Grandpa looked at me and said, "Just call her Grandma Jiang!"
I said respectfully, "Hello, Grandma Jiang. Please call me Rongyue."
Grandma Jiang walked up to me, looked at me and was stunned for a moment, then she took my hand and looked at me carefully.
It makes me feel a little embarrassed.
"This... this child is really similar to Yiluo..." Grandma Jiang looked at my face carefully, as if she was looking at a close friend she hadn't seen for many years. Her eyes turned red as she looked at me.
She came back to her senses and looked at her grandfather. "Is this Mo Chen's daughter-in-law? How long has it been? I haven't seen Gong Yi's family hold a wedding recently?"
"These two children have been married for more than a year. They have just stopped being so nervous recently and are now getting along well with each other!" Grandpa looked at me and smiled.
"Isn't that just like you and Yiluo! He really takes after his grandson! Mo Chen's cold and unfriendly personality is exactly the same as you were when you were young!" Grandma Jiang said with a hint of disgust.
Grandpa snorted and walked into the house.
"Look! It's like this! Isn't it?" Grandma Jiang pulled me and I smiled. It was a bit similar.
Grandma Jiang kindly took me into the house.
The house has an antique feel, and the furniture is all made of top-quality pear wood with carved patterns, and they all look like antiques.
A faint fragrance lingers in the air, making people feel very calm and comfortable. I like it very much.
"It's been so many years! You finally come to my place! What are you here for?" Grandma Jiang sat down and looked at Grandpa. It was obvious in her eyes that she knew what Grandpa was here for, but she still wanted to tease him.
We were served tea, even in antique celadon cups.
Grandpa took a sip of tea and said, "Come and get some old stuff."
"Give it to this child?" Grandma Jiang glanced at Grandpa and then looked at me.
"Yeah!" Grandpa nodded and continued drinking tea.
"It really fits! Come, child, let grandma take another look." Grandma Jiang waved to me.
I stood up and walked to Grandma Jiang.
Grandma Jiang stood up and looked around me carefully. "This child's waist is similar to Yiluo's. Yiluo's things must be suitable for this child."
Grandma Jiang stood in front of me. She tucked the loose hair behind my ears with her fingers and looked at me with a smile. "It must be the right one! Your grandfather may not be good at other things, but he has a good eye for choosing a wife for his grandson! How do you think this old man found this top beauty?"
My face got hot.
Grandma Jiang looked at me and smiled. "Your shyness makes me feel like I'm going to burst my heart! Can Mo Chen handle it?! It took him a year to take you down. You must have given Mo Chen a lot of problems!"
Before I could say anything, grandpa laughed.
"Indeed! This girl has completely subdued Mo Chen!"
After hearing what Grandpa said, Grandma Jiang also laughed.
I was really confused! When did I teach Mo Chen a lesson? He was the one who had been bullying me all along! Who could control him?
"That kid Mo Chen is chasing after my wife and it really makes me so upset!" Grandpa took a sip of tea.
"He wanted to get in touch with this girl, but he didn't want her to know, so he asked me to pick up Rongyue and live in the villa he prepared, and asked me to send someone to clean it at a fixed time to create opportunities for him. I haven't attended the company's annual meeting for many years, but this year that brat insisted on having me go, saying that only if I went would this girl stay put and not run around! Oh, he's going to break my old bones!"
After saying this, grandpa looked at me with a smile in his eyes.
I listened to Grandpa's words. All of this? Was it Mo Chen who asked Grandpa to arrange this?
"But there is also something good that I think is good, that is, Mo Chen brings Rong Yue to see me from time to time, and we can eat together. How could this be possible before! This kid is so busy that I can't see him, let alone eat, it's hard to say a word. Since having this girl, Mo Chen has changed a lot!"
"He was still angry with me today! He said I took his wife! This kid has lost all of his emotions since his parents got into trouble. He lives like a fake person! Now he finally lives like a real person!"
"Yes, Mo Chen's parents passed away when he was so young, so it must have been a big blow to him." Grandma Jiang frowned.
"Mo Chen is a very smart child, and he remembers things early. I thought it was a good thing, but I didn't expect that his parents would suddenly encounter an accident. He was so young at the time and didn't even cry. I held him in my arms, and the look in his eyes was scary. I felt so heartbroken." Grandma Jiang sighed.
"Mo Chen is such a pitiful child..."
Grandpa sighed, and there was sadness in his eyes.
Listening to Grandma Jiang’s words and imagining what Mo Chen looked like as a child, my heart ached.
"Now he has his own home and his own lover, everything will be fine." Grandma Jiang looked at me and smiled, patting my hands affectionately.
I came back to my senses and laughed too.
"Is that kid still investigating his parents?" Grandma Jiang frowned and looked at Grandpa.
Grandpa sighed, "I don't know. After Rongyue was born, I stopped caring about him. Let him fret about it! Let's see if he feels sorry for his own wife! Humph!"
I couldn't help laughing when I saw Grandpa looking angry. Grandpa and Mo Chen looked the same when they were childish.
Grandma Jiang also laughed.
"Someone, take Rongyue to the back and let her try on Yiluo's clothes!"
A young woman came out from behind the screen and said respectfully, "Young Madam, please come this way."
"Xinlan, you and Rongyue go together." Grandpa drank tea.
"Yes." Xin Lan nodded to grandpa, then followed me.
We came to a very large room, still in an antique style, filled with clothing and jewelry displays. The gentle light shone on the cheongsams of various colors. I looked carefully and found that the designs of these cheongsams were either classical and dignified, while some were novel and very avant-garde.
"This is all designed by Grandma Mo Chen."
After Sister Xinlan watched me speak, she was also attracted by the various cheongsams and looked at them carefully.
"Are these novel designs also designed by Grandma Mo Chen?" I was a little surprised.
"Yes, Mo Chen's grandmother is a very talented fashion designer, and she loves cheongsam design. Her designs are all ordered by the young ladies of various famous families. If any young lady from these famous families in Beijing can wear the clothes designed by her, she can show off for several days."
"Also, Grandma Mo Chen has a habit, that is, she will not give the clothes she designs to anyone casually. She will only give the clothes to someone if she likes them. If she doesn't like them, no matter what anyone says, it will be useless!"
"At that time, your grandmother was from a prominent family and was spoiled by your grandfather. She was fearless and didn't care about anyone."
I listened to Sister Xinlan’s story and looked at her eyes. It was so wonderful... It seems that my grandparents’ love story is particularly enviable.
"Young Madam, do you like any of these clothes? Feel free to try them on. If not, I'll help you choose." The woman who led the way asked me softly.
I looked up and saw that they were all very beautiful. I really couldn't choose one.
"Come with me." The woman who led the way took me into the fitting room and brought me a dark pink sleeveless cheongsam and helped me put it on.
"It fits me so well!" The woman who led the way helped me fasten the invisible zipper on the back.
This dress fits my body perfectly.
The woman who led the way brought an exquisite wooden box and opened it. Inside was a set of jewelry, a pair of clear jade earrings, like dew, and a wooden hairpin. The hairpin had a white gardenia and an unopened bud with two white petals of different lengths. The workmanship was very exquisite.
The woman who led the way gently lifted the long hair on both sides of my ears, tied it behind my head with a wooden hairpin, and then she combed my long hair one by one with a wooden comb.
"After the old lady designed this dress, she kept it and never showed it to anyone. Our old lady told us that when the old lady's granddaughter-in-law comes, she will take it out and give it to you to wear."
I stared at the cheongsam I was wearing. The buttons were in the shape of gardenias, fresh and elegant. The embroidery from the shoulders to the chest resembled a blooming gardenia. The length of the whole cheongsam was just above the knees. As I walked, my legs were looming, which made me look both dignified and sexy.
The woman helped me put on my earrings.
"It's amazing! This cheongsam suits you surprisingly well! Come out and take a look in the mirror!"
I walked out of the fitting room and looked at myself in the mirror.
"It's so beautiful, it looks like it was tailor-made for me!" Sister Xinlan's eyes were flashing with surprise and disbelief, and she stared at me closely.
"Yes...it's really amazing..." I couldn't help but agree.
"I...Ilo...is that you..."
I slowly turned my head and looked towards the door. Grandpa looked at me with his eyes, and the emotions in his eyes gradually condensed into liquid. When my eyes met his, a crystal clear teardrop quietly slid down Grandpa's wrinkled cheek...
