The bard joins the entertainment industry - Chapter 507 Meeting the Parents
Chen Jingfei has basically made arrangements for the banquet, and has also assigned someone to take charge of the reception and reception.
The next day, we finalized the guest list, booked hotels around the State Guesthouse, and made arrangements one by one.
Those who are far away and willing to come early will have someone to attend to them.
Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei were responsible for entertaining her family.
For this reason, her grandmother, aunt and others heard that she and Liu Xiaoli had returned to the imperial capital, and came over the next day.
The whole family is coming, so even Liu Xiaoli and Chen Jingfei have to pick them up.
Needless to say, Liu Xiaoli’s daughter, Chen Jingfei is not only friends with Liu Yifei’s father, but also with her uncle, and he often pays homage to the two old men.
Therefore, he must also go to greet it.
Chen Shuo was still a little hesitant at first, not knowing whether he should go or in what capacity.
After all, because I have been busy before, I have not visited him in person. Isn’t it a bit hasty to meet him like this for the first time now?
However, Liu Yifei didn’t think so much, and Liu Xiaoli understood his worries and said to him directly: “Shuoshuo, your grandparents are old. It’s a bit inconvenient for them to live outside the city or at our place. I’m not worried. We will arrange them over to Lishi Alley.”
There was no discussion or asking for his opinion, but Chen Shuo felt happy after hearing this. He nodded repeatedly and said, “That’s perfect. The weather is still hot now, and there are big trees in the courtyard over there for shade. It’s also refreshing and refreshing.”
Liu Xiaoli was very happy after hearing this and said: “Your uncle and aunt…”
Before she could finish speaking, Chen Shuo said: “Auntie, I think if they don’t mind, we can arrange them all over Lishi Hutong and Shichahai.
The two places are close to each other, so it is convenient for them to go wherever they want to play. “
“That’s fine.” Liu Xiaoli nodded and said, “We should be able to arrange it at Lishi Hutong. Then we’ll live together at Dongyue Temple, which is closer here.”
“OK!”
After the agreement was made, Chen Jingfei arranged for someone to drive everyone to the airport.
When we arrived at the airport, because Chen Shuo helped everyone dress up, they didn’t attract too much attention.
As the passengers got off the plane, soon everyone saw a group of people walking out of the exit.
“Grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt, aunt, uncle, sister…” Seeing a group of people coming out, Liu Yifei immediately went up to greet them one by one.
Because not only Liu Xiaoli was already quite old when she gave birth to Liu Yifei, but also her grandma was also very old when she gave birth to Liu Xiaoli. Now her grandma is already in her seventies, but she is still energetic and has a clear vision. A wise old lady.
The aunt and aunt on the side are not inferior to Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei in terms of appearance.
“Hey!” Grandma held her hand and said with a smile, “Our Sissi has grown up!”
Chen Jingfei and Liu Xiaoli greeted their uncle and aunt.
Chen Shuo hesitated for a moment, then came to his grandfather, bowed respectfully and called out: “Grandpa, welcome to the imperial capital!”
Grandpa looked him over carefully from head to toe, nodded and said with a smile, “Okay, Chen Shuo, right? We often heard Sissi and her mother talk about you.”
Chen Shuo couldn’t help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and looked at Liu Yifei, who was chatting happily with his grandma.
Normally he felt that he could speak well, but at this moment, he felt constrained not knowing what to say.
Grandma also saw him and waved to him. When he came to her, she took his hand and said, “He looks even more handsome than on TV.”
“Grandma is really beautiful. Sissi showed me your photos before, and they were stunning to look at.” Chen Shuo said sincerely.
“This child can talk as soon as you see it.” Grandma clapped his hand happily.
Chen Shuo felt relieved after hearing this and started chatting with the two old men.
I also greeted my uncle, aunt, aunt and others one by one.
Liu Xiaoli came to the two old people and said, “Dad, Mom, let’s go back first and then talk.”
“Okay, let’s go home first!” Grandma nodded.
The group of people got into the car. Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei were still accompanying the two old people in the car, explaining to them the changes in the imperial capital.
With the development of the past two years, the changes in the imperial capital are getting faster and faster, almost the same every year. Sometimes when Chen Shuo comes back, he feels that the changes have been too great.
Looking at the tall buildings around him, Chen Shuo also told the two old men about the situation in Lishi Hutong.
After hearing this, the two of them thought it was more appropriate. After all, as they are older, even taking the elevator will feel that it is not very convenient to go up and down.
They are all used to living in family areas, and the kind of short buildings or bungalows they are used to.
When they arrived at Lishi Hutong, they looked at the newly renovated door lintel. Not only did the two old men nod, but even their uncle, aunt and others also praised it.
Because Chen Shuo used Yu Bo’s relationship to find a decoration team to decorate the Forbidden City, during the renovation, they not only followed the corresponding decoration standards, but also used the same craftsmanship as before.
It doesn’t look like it was newly built, it has a bright and dazzling feeling.
Entering it is like entering ancient times, but it does not seem to be out of touch with today’s society. There is a sense of clarity in the simplicity.
As soon as you enter the door, you can see a screen wall with the word “Fu Shou” engraved on it, and it is also decorated with auspicious patterns such as gourds, peonies, and bats.
This screen wall was originally carved when the house was built. When Chen Shuo bought it, it had a lot of dirt on it. After cleaning it, it was found that it was not damaged and still had a sense of age. The decoration team asked for his advice. After commenting, he stayed.
When you come to the screen wall, on the left hand side is the moon gate leading to the first courtyard.
During the renovation, all the bricks were old bricks. The bricks that could be used in the old house were cleaned and reused, and the missing parts were bought and removed from other houses.
In the past two years, many old courtyard houses have been demolished, and only a few parts have been rebuilt into courtyard houses. The rest are basically used to build buildings.
People couldn’t use the dismantled green bricks to build houses, so Chen Shuo took the opportunity to buy a lot of them.
In addition to flipping over his own courtyard house and giving some to Yu Bo, he still had a lot left over.
Some people also approached him asking to buy some, but except for those he knew well, he had no intention of selling, but thought of using them for renovation in the future.
In addition to the two courtyard houses in Shichahai and Lishi Hutong, he bought several more, mainly because too many courtyard houses have been demolished in the past two years and their value has increased rapidly.
Even if you can’t live in it, it would be good to keep it for investment, or turn it into a private club or something like that.
Different from the way it looked last year when it was being renovated, there is already a light atmosphere of life as soon as you enter the hospital.
Although Chen Shuo rarely lives here, Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli, Chen Rui and others will come from time to time, so the courtyard is also equipped with servants who specialize in maintaining the courtyard.
When they saw a group of people coming back, they quickly came over to help them move their luggage and other things in.
Passing through the hanging flower door with carved beams and painted beams, you can directly see the situation in the courtyard.
The four screen doors engraved with pictures of Shoushan’s blessings and seas have long been opened wide to show respect for grandpa, grandma and others.
Looking around, the most conspicuous thing is a huge toon tree, covering most of the entire yard. Both sides of the crosswalk are filled with various flowers, fruits and green plants, giving the group a sense of coolness as soon as they enter the yard. It makes people forget the heat of summer.
There is a shelf set up in the middle of the corridor, with many purple-red and emerald-green grapes hanging on it. Opposite the hanging flower door is a large vat with lotus flowers, and behind it are stone tables and benches.
When people see it, they can’t help but feel a sense of comfort, thinking that in the midsummer weather, it would be a beautiful thing if they could eat watermelon here to enjoy the coolness.
“This yard looks really comfortable.” Grandma looked at it and praised it sincerely. Pointing to the fruits and other crops planted on both sides, she said, “There are so many fruits and vegetables. I feel like I can live here for as long as I want.”
“Grandma, why don’t you live here with grandpa from now on? It will be convenient for Sissi and auntie if they want to visit you.” Chen Shuo said after hearing this.
“Okay, okay.” Grandma smiled happily after hearing this, patted his hand and said, “But it’s okay to come and stay here occasionally.”
Grandpa said: “Yes, living here will cause trouble to you, and it will be inconvenient for you to rush around.”
Liu Xiaoli smiled and said: “That’s no problem. You can come if you want to come, and go back if you want to. We can live wherever we feel comfortable.”
“Yes, if you want to come, just tell me and I will pick you up personally.” Chen Jingfei also said.
Grandma smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll call you if I want to come then.”
At this time, the servants also moved their luggage over, and Chen Shuo and Liu Xiaoli arranged rooms for everyone.
Grandpa and grandma lived on the east side of the main house, which was originally Liu Xiaoli’s room.
Just like the other side of Shichahai, Liu Xiaoli lives on the east side of the main house and Chen Shuo lives on the west side of the main house.
The difference is that Liu Yifei, Chen Rui, and Shu Chang live in the west wing on the Shichahai side, while here they live in the cross-yard.
It was specially renovated and decorated for the three of them according to their requirements.
Then Chen Shuo originally wanted to arrange for his uncle and his wife to live in their own room, but was rejected. He, his aunt, and his uncle chose to live in the west wing.
The children of the two families lived in Liu Yifei and Chen Rui’s rooms respectively.
At noon that day, everyone had a meal here. Chen Shuo also specially called Chen Yukun, his wife, his fourth uncle, and others, which was considered a formal meeting between the two families.
The relationship between him and Liu Yifei obtained the approval and consent of both parents.
August 25, State Guesthouse, Yu Bo looked at this familiar place and couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.
“What are you thinking about? Are you so absorbed?” Yang Junyi patted his shoulder and asked.
“There is something wrong with what you are asking.” Zhang Jin retracted his gaze and said, “Boss Bo was a frequent visitor here before.”
Yu Bo pushed him and scolded him with a smile: “Why do you sound so awkward?”
“Hahaha~” Zhang Jin ducked and laughed, “Did I say something wrong?”
Yang Junyi also smiled and said: “This is also the reason, haha~”
Yu Bo shook his head and ended the topic, then asked: “Where are Cai Shaofen and Cheng Farong?”
Zhang Jin smiled and said, “I called her just now. She should be here soon.”
Yang Junyi also said: “The two of them should have come together.”
“Hey, here, here!” The three of them were talking when they heard a man with a very thick accent greet the three of them.
Turning around, he saw Cai Shaofen and Cheng Farong, with Zhu Mar and Hong Xin beside them.
“Hi!” The three people waved quickly.
The seven people gathered together and greeted each other.
Except for Hong Xin, the others have all worked together and are no strangers to him.
After just chatting for a while, we became familiar with each other.
“Why haven’t you gone there yet?” Cai Shaofen asked the three of them, “Are you waiting for us?”
Before Zhang Jin could answer, Yu Bo smiled and asked, listening to Cai Shaofen’s accent, “Why is your accent getting weirder and weirder?”
When filming “Water Moon Cave”, Cai Shaofen did not speak Mandarin at first.
Later, as she was filming and falling in love with Zhang Jin, she gradually began to speak Mandarin, and the effect was pretty good.
At least apart from the accent, it’s easy to understand.
However, now, he feels that Cai Shaofen’s accent is even weirder than before he learned it.
“What’s weird? Isn’t this just normal Mandarin?” Cai Shaofen thought he was making fun of herself and said plausibly.
“Uh…” Yu Bo and Yang Junyi thought she was joking, but looking at her serious look, they couldn’t help but wonder. Could it be that they understood it wrong?
“That’s enough. I haven’t learned Mandarin yet.” Zhu Ming nodded in approval, and then said to Cai Shaofen: “However, your Mandarin is not Mandarin, and your Cantonese is not Cantonese, and I can’t understand it either.”
“How is that possible?” Cai Shaofen said in disbelief: “I’m going to talk to my brother and my mother… No…”
“Wait a minute!” Upon hearing this, Zhu Yin and Hong Xin immediately became energetic. One of them grabbed her arm and asked, “Who did you say you were chatting with just now?”
“No.” Cai Shaofen’s face was a little red, but she still relied on her acting skills and said calmly: “I was talking to my colleagues on the crew.”
“That’s not what you said just now.” Zhu Ming asked reluctantly: “You said Brother Jin’s mother, who is Brother Jin? Who is his mother?”
Seeing that Cai Shaofen still wanted to deny it, Hong Xin looked at Cheng Farong on the side and was not surprised. He grabbed her and asked, “Tell me, do you know anything?”
Cheng Farong smiled and shook his head and said, “I don’t know anything.”
“Okay, have you met the parents yet?” When the four women were having a quarrel, Yu Bo and Yang Junyi looked at Zhang Jin with expressions on their faces.
“Ahem~ No.” Zhang Jin coughed dryly and awkwardly changed the subject: “Fenfen hasn’t spoken Mandarin for a long time. It sounds a little strange at first.”
Yu Bo said meaningfully: “Well, she needs to practice more, otherwise it will be difficult for the mother and daughter to talk in the future, and you will have to be the translator.”
Zhang Jin thought for a moment and said, “It’s true.” Then he realized what he was saying, pointed at Yu Bo and said with a smile, “Boss Bo, what are you trying to say to me?”
“Did I say something?” Yu Bo smiled reservedly and refused to admit it.
Yang Junyi interrupted the two of them and asked curiously: “Okay, tell me when did you take her home?”
Seeing that Yu Bo was also looking over curiously, Zhang Jin coughed at the two of them and didn’t care. He said, “Just two days ago, we both came to the imperial capital from the mountain city together.”
