Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 254, Family Night Talk

When Chen Xu heard what his mother said, he stared at her with round eyes for a while, then nodded silently and said: I knew I couldn't hide it from you. He wanted to come and see you two, but I refused. I said it was a bit too sudden, so we should talk about it later.

When Mr. and Mrs. Chen heard what their daughter said, they both showed expressions of "as expected".

Chen Xu's mother said: You have grown up, and it is time for you to make friends. I believe in your vision, but you have to remember one thing, you have to protect yourself before you get married, and you know what you look like.

When Chen Xu heard what her mother said, she immediately said coquettishly: Mother, what are you talking about!

Seeing that she understood what she said, Chen's mother stopped talking so as not to make her daughter shy.

Chen Xu suddenly said: By the way, he also brought you gifts.

As he spoke, he took out two boxes from the small bag in his hand.

Chen Xu's mother Zhang Hong said: Child, how can you accept other people's gifts?

Chen Xu said: What's the big deal? Besides, I also gave him a gift. Have you forgotten that the hand-held ornament I asked my father to prepare for me before I went back to Kyoto last time was for him?

Father Chen immediately showed an expression of realization on his face, and said: I thought that thing was going to be given to your leader, but it turns out it was given to that boy.

The old couple felt better at this time, after all, their daughter also gave each other a gift, and it was very thoughtful.

When my daughter returns to Kyoto this time, she can just bring some gifts to the other parents. Although the two parents have not met yet, more visits will help them better handle the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law after my daughter gets married in the future.

The two opened the gift box and were surprised when they saw the gift inside.

Chen Xu was also surprised after seeing the gifts, because there were two emerald green jade pendants in the box. The one in his father's hand was a jade plate with Guanyin carved on it, and the one in his mother's hand was a jade Maitreya Buddha carved on it.

Although these two jade pendants are not as crystal clear as the necklace Wang Li gave her, they are both top-quality at first glance, especially the workmanship is impeccable.

Chen Xu's mother Zhang Hong raised her head, looked at her daughter in astonishment and said: Xuxu, isn't this a bit too expensive? Although I don't know the value of this thing, it looks like a good thing at a glance.

It is worth mentioning that although jade has not yet been hyped up to such an exaggerated price in the future, it is still quite luxurious to buy this thing at the consumption level and salary at that time. What's more, good things are always good things. Even if you don't understand it, you can see its value at a glance, not to mention that Tiecheng also produces Xiuyan jade, so they still have some knowledge of this kind of jade.

Although Chen Xu was a little surprised, she still persuaded her parents and said: Since he gave it to you, you should accept it. He also gave me a necklace! He told me that these things were bought 10 years ago and were not valuable at that time.

Chen Xu's parents were also relieved when they heard that. But when they heard their daughter said that Wang Li had given her another gift, they asked Chen Xu to show it to them.

There was nothing Chen Xu could do since he had let the secret slip, so he had to take out the necklace from his neck and show it to his parents.

Chen Xu's father knew more about jadeite than her mother, and he immediately said in surprise: "Your jadeite is better in both color and variety. It's a bit too expensive! How can you accept such an expensive gift from him?"
Chen Xu said: I didn’t want to accept it at first, but he told me that it wasn’t expensive when he bought it, and I had also given him a hand-held ornament before, so this could be considered a gift to each other.

Although Chen Xu's father still felt that it was a bit bad, he didn't say anything more when he saw that his daughter had agreed with the boy's statement.

I was just thinking in my heart: When Chen Xu goes to Kyoto again, what gifts should I bring to the other party's parents?

Through the daughter's behavior and the gifts the other party gave, we can analyze that the other party's family conditions are very good.

He said to his daughter: Xuxu, how is his family's condition? Is it good? Look at the things he gave us, they are very valuable.

Chen Xu said: I don’t know the details, I just know that his family has always lived in Kyoto, he runs his own business, and he likes to collect antiques and study history, which is why he can become an expert in our crew.

Chen Xu's father was obviously more concerned about the other party's knowledge. After hearing that the other party was an expert in the crew, he felt relieved.

After all, in that era, it was generally believed that knowledgeable people were not bad people, unlike some experts and professors today who have completely ruined the reputation of knowledgeable people.

Afterwards, her parents asked about Wang Li's family situation. Since Chen Xu didn't know the details, she only gave a general idea, but this also made her parents feel more at ease.

After all, through Chen Xu's introduction, Wang Li is a good person in terms of character, knowledge and family, and he really cares about his daughter.

The family of three chatted for a while and then went back to their rooms to sleep.
