Chapter 1189 A bride price?

Discussing marriage?
Well, this matter cannot be delayed until Mu Qing gets pregnant. Although the social atmosphere is much more open now, there will still be people making irresponsible remarks behind her back.

But listening to my mother's tone, it seems that the matter discussed tonight is not simple?
In short, my mother's tone sounded a little off, but Chu Yunfeng couldn't figure out the reason for a while.

But since there were so many people coming, we had to cook more dishes, but it was definitely too late to do it ourselves, so we asked Guo Kui and Hu Yue to help and cooked several more dishes.

Chu Yunfeng has never had the opportunity to cook all the dishes he learned in the kitchen at the state banquet, so he naturally had to show them off tonight.

The Huizhou Wenzheng mountain bamboo shoots and Huizhou bean yellow glutinous rice tasted quite good before. Let’s try making them to see if they like it.

The Zhejiang cuisine’s West Lake Beef Soup and West Lake Water Shield Soup are very distinctive, so I’ll order one of them as well.

The drunken pork ribs and dragon and phoenix shrimps of Fujian cuisine are equally exquisite and delicious. Mu Qing loves shrimps during this time, so it is just right.

Needless to say, the Cantonese cuisine of sweet and sour pork with pineapple and braised squab, especially the sweet and sour taste of the sweet and sour pork with pineapple, is definitely a delicacy that Mu Qing cannot resist.

For the rest, let’s cook Sichuan cuisine. The four dishes of Furong Chicken Slices, Mapo Tofu, Kung Pao Chicken and Fish-flavored Pork Shreds are almost enough.

Although the last three of these four Sichuan dishes are more common in restaurants, there are not many people who can really make these three dishes taste real.

But once you make authentic Sichuan flavor, it will definitely be a perfect meal, like no other.

"The food is almost ready. I'll bring it over first. If you have time, come over and have a bite!"

After saying hello to Guo Kui and Hu Yue, Chu Yunfeng pushed the dishes out of the dining cart. We were discussing marriage tonight, and we didn't know what time we were going to talk about.

So when Guo Kui and Hu Yue come over after they have finished their work, the discussion should be almost done. By then they will cook two more dishes and come over, just in time to have a drink.

This can be regarded as witnessing a major event in one's life. After all, they are good brothers for life, and these two people immediately clamored to be their best men.

But when Chu Yunfeng pushed the car to the door of the private room, he suddenly noticed something strange. There was a person he didn't recognize standing at the door.

And judging from the way he stands and the vigilant eyes, he gives people the impression that he is doing security work.

and many more!

No way?
Chu Yunfeng immediately thought of a possibility, and then immediately speeded up the cart. However, when he arrived at the door, the man checked the dining cart before finally letting him in.

Chu Yunfeng didn't have any objections to this person's inspection of the dining car. When he opened the door and entered, he was in for a big surprise as Chu Yunfeng expected.

"Grandpa, grandma, why are you here?"

The surprise was too sudden. Chu Yunfeng came to his grandmother's side immediately and started kneading her shoulders with his hands. The old man also laughed heartily.

"How about I just say I'll give him a surprise?

How can we be absent from this important event in your life?
Besides, it’s almost the engagement period, how can we elders not show up?Doesn’t that mean we don’t pay attention to women? "

Chu Yunfeng was very touched by the old man's words. It was not that easy for him to go out, and he was able to come over so quickly, which showed that he attached great importance to his marriage.

Grandma also said happily: "Grandpa You has been clamoring to come for a long time, especially when he heard that he has a great-grandson. He walked around the house like a child and couldn't stop for a moment.

He also told me to prepare gifts properly so as not to let my in-laws think we were disrespectful. "

The two elders took this matter very seriously, and their words revealed their recognition and love for Mu Qing.

Han Bingbing had long known that the father-in-law in her eldest sister's family was extraordinary, but she had never seen him before.

I thought he was quite majestic when I met him today, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to say a word, but I didn't know that he was so kind when I saw him, and he didn't have any airs at all.

Especially the old lady, after meeting Mu Qing, she kept holding her hand and talking non-stop, and kept asking her questions, which made her worries unnecessary.

But what the second elder said made me feel a little embarrassed, so I immediately replied with a smile: "What's the matter, we just found out about this news not long ago.

The eldest sister and brother-in-law have always been very concerned about this matter. They were planning to discuss the wedding tonight. I didn't expect that you and your elders would come over in person. "

Han Bingbing's words also revealed a hint of joy. Judging from the attitudes of the two elders, they really liked Mu Qing, and their worries about her suddenly became much less.

Xia Tong naturally knew that the two elders loved Mu Qing, especially grandma. Every time Mu Qing passed by, she would pull her and talk endlessly.

Having said this, Xia Tong immediately opened the topic: "Mom, didn't you say before that you had chosen a gift for Mu Qing? What is it? Show it to us?"

Xia Tong was also very curious about the gift chosen by her grandma, because when the two elders came, they did not see a box or box on them.

And when they arrived at the hotel, they didn't see it either, but when they saw the bracelet on grandma's hand, Xia Tong started to guess silently.

Grandma’s gesture won’t be that big, right?
However, Mu Qing immediately waved her hands and said, "No, I already gave you a gift last time, and I still have it with me!"

The dragon and phoenix jade pendants were worn by Chu Yunfeng and Mu Qing each on their chests. Grandma had carefully prepared them for them and they were of great value.

However, grandma's family used to be a wealthy family, so there were naturally a lot of good things. Although most of them are gone, the ones that have been preserved are all high-quality goods, although the quantity is smaller.

As Xia Tong expected, the bracelet that grandma would not bear to wear on weekdays, at this time she had already taken it off her hand.

When seeing this scene, even Xia Tong couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise, and the same was true for Han Bingbing and Wu Ma. We all know goods, and this bracelet is not an ordinary product.

From the moment grandma arrived, the purple jade bracelet she was wearing on her hand was extremely dazzling under the light. This was pure purple jade.

Judging from the degree of purple, it is at least as high as violet, which can be regarded as the highest level color. It is probably just a hair away from imperial purple.

"Ah~! I can't do it, I can't do it."

Seeing that grandma was about to give the bracelet she was wearing to Mu Qing, Han Bingbing immediately stood up and prepared to stop her.

Mu Qing was also a little flustered. She was sitting next to her grandma, so she held her hand and prevented her from taking off the bracelet.

However, Chu Yunfeng could still understand grandma's wishes. He immediately grabbed Mu Qing's hand and said with a smile: "Since it is grandma's wish, let's not stop it."

When her hand was held by Chu Yunfeng, Mu Qing felt really anxious. At the same time, she was also a little shy and always felt very embarrassed.

This bracelet is too expensive, and it looks like grandma's favorite thing at first glance. How can it be taken away from others?

However, grandma appreciated Chu Yunfeng's understanding of her, nodded and said with a smile: "My grandson is right, this is grandma's intention, if you refuse, it will hurt my heart very much.

This bracelet was handed down by my great-grandmother, and it has been quite a few years. Back then, she jokingly told me that if there was such a day, she would personally pass it on to her granddaughter-in-law.

Haha, I really didn’t expect that a joke I made back then would actually come true, so this is fate and cannot be denied! "

Grandma’s words were so sincere that no one could refute them, and the old man smiled and nodded and said, “Mu Qing is a nice girl, very capable and independent, and I like her very much.

This is just our intention, and we still have to accept it! "

Seeing that the old man had spoken directly, it would be unreasonable to refuse further, so Han Bingbing could only nodded to Mu Qing and accept it first.

Mu Qing bit her lower lip and looked shyly at her grandma putting the bracelet on her hand, which felt a little trembling.

This bracelet is indeed a bit unaccustomed, so that I dare not touch it easily. If it is accidentally bumped and broken, I will really want to cry without tears.

Even a person like me, who is not very knowledgeable, can roughly estimate the price of this bracelet, which is at least tens of millions.

If this goes up for auction, I probably won't be able to get it for less than 3000 to [-] million. It's really a big deal!

"Thank you grandma, thank you grandpa!"

The bracelet really matched well after I got it. Mu Qing's skin was already white, so the purple color added a sense of mystery, making Mu Qing a little bit unable to put it down.

The second elder also responded happily, but at this time Kexin at the table saw that the matter was settled and couldn't help but said: "Brother Chu, please serve the food quickly, I am almost starving! "

The childish words immediately made the atmosphere in the private room lively. Chu Yunfeng said quickly: "Okay, okay, the food will be served immediately. I made a lot of delicious food today, you must like it."

But how could the second elder come unprepared this time?
She had known for a long time that Mu Qing had a younger sister, so she would naturally give her a gift as a meeting gift. Moreover, Kexin was also a very polite child. When she saw her second elder, she greeted her generously, which also made her particularly fond of her.

So when Chu Yunfeng served the food, grandma started to ask: "Sister has a gift, do you want a gift?"

It is definitely impossible to say that I am not envious, but Kexin has a good tutor, and I have never expressed the desire in my heart.

But since grandma asked, Kexin turned around and glanced at Han Bingbing first, and then started to say: "Mom said you can't just ask for other people's things."

Haha
Kexin's words immediately made everyone laugh again, the face clearly expressed what she wanted, but she looked a little bit wronged, which really made people laugh a little bit.

It was just for teasing Kexin, and grandma immediately replied: "Mom is right, you can't just accept other people's things, but grandma is different, you can accept things given by grandma.

Aren't you a rabbit?Grandma brought you a rabbit jade pendant. Do you like it? "

After saying that, grandma took out a small box from her pocket and handed it to Kexin.

Ke Xin also had a look of surprise on her face, but she didn't reach out and looked at Han Bingbing instead. This made Han Bingbing immediately say: "You're too polite. This is not good."

Before Han Bingbing finished speaking, Xia Tong immediately pulled back Han Bingbing's waving hand, and said with a smile: "If you have any kindness, let the child accept it!"

The old man also nodded happily and motioned for Ke Xin to reach out to pick it up. Han Bingbing also took a deep breath and nodded to Ke Xin.

After seeing her mother nodding, Kexin immediately laughed happily, then stood up and took the box from her grandma with both hands, and said cheerfully: "Thank you grandma, and thank you grandpa!"

"Oh~! Okay, okay, no thank you, no thank you!"

"Haha, not bad, not bad, polite, and a good boy!"

Grandma and grandpa were the first to praise Kexin. They were very appreciative of Kexin's series of reactions and actions. At the same time, they also had a deep understanding of Han Bingbing's tutoring.

If it were an ordinary child, he might have taken it directly, perhaps with one hand, and he might not have said a word of thanks.

Kexin's performance made everyone couldn't help laughing, and when Kexin opened the box, she instantly saw a transparent little rabbit lying quietly inside.

There is a piece of grass under the little rabbit, which is full of green. Although the water below is only ice-type, such a jade pendant is definitely valuable.

It cost at least seven figures, so Han Bingbing quickly said: "This is too expensive."

"It's okay, it's okay. Look how much the little guy likes it. Just like it, it's just a little thought!"

Grandma waved to Ke Xin and asked her to come over and help her put it on, so Ke Xin happily jumped up and ran over. After grandma put it on for herself, she returned to her seat and admired it endlessly.

She didn't complain that she was hungry at this moment. It seemed that she was attracted by this jade pendant and was having a great time playing with it.

Then naturally the food tasting began. Everyone expressed their praise for the dishes made by Chu Yunfeng, but Chu Yunfeng sighed: "Grandpa and grandma didn't tell me earlier when they came. If I had known better, I would have prepared more." Two courses."

In Chu Yunfeng's estimate, the old man and grandma probably won't be able to stay for long, so he also wants to cook more delicious food for them in the shortest possible time.

But unexpectedly, the old man actually smiled and said: "It's okay, didn't I tell you last time?
We will stay here for a while this time, so we still have plenty of time, but don’t just think about us if there is something delicious to eat. Mu Qing, you have to take more care of us. "

The old man personally asked Chu Yunfeng to take care of him, and Mu Qing quickly said, "It's okay, I can eat anything, let him cook it for you, it happens that he is learning how to cook during this time."

Chu Yunfeng immediately added: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will prepare delicious food for Mu Qing every day, but what she said is right, I will learn a lot of dishes during this time, and I will cook them one by one Give you a good taste.

I just learned this gold and silver meat cake today. It is made using ancient methods. I also created a modern method and will make it for you to try tomorrow! "

The taste of this gold and silver meat loaf is indeed very good, and the old man also likes it very much, so he nodded upon hearing this.

When the meal was almost finished, everyone began to discuss wedding arrangements. Today, Chu Dingtian and Xia Tong made a phone call to a master in the capital.

After selecting the most recent auspicious days, I began to prepare to discuss the date with Han Bingbing.

But before that, there is another matter that needs to be communicated, and that is the issue of bride price. This is an issue that cannot be avoided in marriages nowadays.

But when Xia Tong raised this topic, she was immediately rejected by Han Bingbing.
