The First Match

Chapter 122: Hello, Wen Yaying

Views:

Chen Xuan’s knowledge about sex was so poor that Wei Nian had to tutor her.

In fact, it is not Chen Xuan's fault. The environment she grew up in and the character of Aunt Chen were all told by her before she got married: "You will know after you get married." And, as for the knowledge she has now, it is still something that Chen Xuan vaguely figured out after reading books and newspapers.

Anyway, between men and women, it’s enough as long as there is one who understands.

Moreover, Wei Nian's theories and practices were so varied that Chen Xuan began to suspect that Wei Nian was not honest in the past. But Chen Xuan reasoned that it was unlikely. Since the two got married, Wei Nian had never had any affairs outside. If it was before the marriage, Wei Nian was still young.

In this regard, the only explanation is that Wei Nian is gifted.

The next morning, Wei Nian was complained by Chen Xuan. It was because they stayed in a hotel yesterday and didn't bring any change of clothes. It was possible to wear yesterday's clothes, but they were left on the carpet for most of the day and one night. Wei Nian had to borrow an electric iron and ironing board from the hotel. Chen Xuan was surprised, "I didn't expect the hotel had an iron."

While Chen Xuan was ironing clothes, Wei Nian went to wash up first.

After they had packed up, they went straight to the restaurant downstairs for breakfast.

The breakfast was in the form of a small buffet. The two of them took the food together sweetly. Wei Nian originally wanted Chen Xuan to rest while he took the food. It was Chen Xuan's first time to see a buffet, and she insisted on going together, so she went together. The breakfast was very rich, with lobster rice rolls, shrimp, Yunnan ham, wontons, stretched noodles, small flower rolls, fried spring rolls, steamed dumplings, Western-style puffs, milk, coffee, bread, jam, pudding, cake, smoked fish... all kinds of seasonal and unseasonal fruits... Anyway, it was dazzling. Chen Xuan really wanted to try everything, but she knew she didn't have such a big appetite, so she picked up the ones she was particularly interested in and took some of each. As for the big red strawberries that were particularly popular with guests, Chen Xuan didn't take any of them, because she grew them at home! She could eat them anytime she wanted, so why did she have to come to the Liuguo Hotel to eat!

Today Chen Xuan didn't drink rice porridge, she took a glass of very fashionable milk. Then there were shrimps, smoked fish, ham, and a small chocolate milk cake. Wei Nian also had milk, coffee, bread, ham and the like.

The shrimps that Chen Xuan ate were sea shrimps. Wei Nian said they were prawns from Qingdao. Each one was about the size of a palm. Chen Xuan also took two other things, one was a prawn and the other was a boiled shrimp. Wei Nian saw that she didn't bring a saucer, so he went to get one for her. He also helped her peel the white meat from the two boiled shrimps. Chen Xuan thought happily, Brother An Nian is so considerate.

While enjoying Wei Nian's service, Chen Xuan felt a little embarrassed because someone was looking at them. The couple at the next table looked at them. They were obviously people of high status. The man was in his forties, wearing a dark suit. He was dignified but elegant, but his eyes were gentle and kind. Sitting opposite the middle-aged man was a middle-aged lady. The lady was younger and wore a light sky blue satin dress with dark patterns. From her appearance, the lady was about thirty years old. However, Chen Xuan, who was also a woman, felt ashamed of herself when she saw her beautiful and slender figure. Such beauty and dignity, the casual glances at them were full of the kindness of an elder. Seeing that Chen Xuan was embarrassed, the lady nodded in greeting.

Wei Nian also nodded and greeted him, and whispered to Chen Xuan, "This is the person we met at the church door yesterday, and he even made way for us."

Only then did Chen Xuan understand and gave him a polite smile.

Chen Xuan has been to the Six Nations Hotel several times. The first time she came, she felt that it was extremely high-end and that there must be dignitaries inside, so she couldn't help but be cautious. In fact, after coming a few more times, she felt that most of the guests here were friendly and rarely had disputes.

Chen Xuan couldn't help but say to Wei Nian, "That lady is so beautiful."

Wei Nian said sweetly, "In my eyes, no one is as good as you."

Chen Xuan smiled, holding back her shyness, and said to Wei Nian, "Brother Nian is the same in my heart."

The two of them enjoyed their breakfast sweetly.

Mrs. Wen was also whispering to her husband, "I wonder which young couple is so romantic." Chen Xuan and Wei Nian were still wearing the same clothes as yesterday. They didn't look like people who couldn't afford to change clothes. It was obvious that they stayed in the hotel yesterday and didn't go home to change clothes.

Mr. Wen smiled, "No matter whose family they are from, it's good to see such changes in young people. In the past, when young people got married, the woman had to serve the father-in-law and mother-in-law day and night, and the husband had to support the family outside. There was no such freedom and joy."

"Yes." People are like this. When they see others happy, their mood will be infected. Mrs. Wen was obviously in a very good mood. "I will go to Sister Wen's place in a few days. I think I should take Yaying with me."

"That's fine. Shanghai and Nanjing are both good places, but when it comes to academic atmosphere, Peking is still the best." Mr. Wen smiled, "I have to free up time the day after tomorrow. Principal Jiang is treating us to dinner that day."

"Then Sister Wen and I will make an appointment for the day after tomorrow."

Chen Xuan and Wei Nian both ate very full, mainly because the buffet was unlimited. Even though Wei Nian, who always liked to show off, felt that it was not worthwhile to eat less, and secondly, he didn't usually have such rich food at home. However, the two of them didn't waste anything, which was Chen Xuan's good habit. Chen Xuan usually didn't like leftovers the most, but here you pay to eat as much as you want, so there is no need to waste.

At most, it would be good enough if you can eat enough.

After breakfast, Wei Nian checked out of the hotel and took Chen Xuan home.

They changed into their usual clothes and went to the shop together. Wei Nian went to manage the shop in Dongdan, and also went to the old shop in Wangfujing. Because he had just bought a clothing store not far away, the old shop had a lot of things to do. If it weren't for the three-year anniversary of the two of them, Wei Nian would not have asked for leave.

He arrived at the old shop with a beaming face, but Old Master Wei glanced at him unhappily. However, Wei Nian's joy seemed to be overflowing. Old Master Wei still thought that if the immortal's method was effective, it would be worth letting the couple go out for two days.

Yes, the reason Wei Nian used to fool his father was that he and his wife had been married for three years without any success, so he consulted a celestial being, who said that he could conceive by finding a place with sufficient yang energy on August 7 or 8 to have sex, if so he could have a child.

Old Master Wei was also quite anxious about the issue of offspring for Wei Nian's family. Such a shrewd old man was actually fooled by Wei Nian. It can be said that he was too concerned. Seeing his second son's behavior today, Old Master Wei thought to himself that it seemed that he was almost certain.

When Chen Xuan arrived at the store, Wei Yin asked around. Wei Yin was curious about where her second brother and sister-in-law had gone since they did not come back last night.

Chen Xuan couldn't hide her happiness and told Wei Yin that she was staying at the Liuguo Hotel. Chen Xuan said, "I wanted to say that I went home last night, but Brother Nian had already paid for the room. Besides, the room fee is non-refundable, so if I don't stay here, I will lose a lot."

Wei Yin hurriedly asked, "Second sister-in-law, what are the rooms at the Six Nations Hotel like?"

Chen Xuan thought for a moment and said, "It's about the same as Mr. Rong's house. In fact, I think it's not as elegant as Mr. Rong's house."

Wei Yin had also been to Rong Mansion in Shanghai. After hearing what Chen Xuan said, he was no longer so curious. Instead, he smiled and said, "You two are more modern than the modern people described in the newspapers. You even went to the Six Nations Hotel to celebrate your third anniversary."

Chen Xuan couldn't help but curl up her lips. "I didn't expect that. I asked Brother Anian for a long time, but he didn't tell me. This was all his idea. If it were me, you know, I would at most treat him to a Western meal and a movie."

"My second brother was like that. I was celebrating my fifteenth birthday that year, but none of the other kids in our family celebrated their birthdays. But my second brother took me out for a big dinner that day and bought me a bouquet of flowers from a roadside flower shop." Wei Yin was also very happy when he spoke about it.

Chen Xuan asked, "There are very few flowers in winter. What kind of flower is it? Is it the plum blossom grown in the house?"

Wei Yin almost laughed out loud, "No, they are roses from the flower shop."

"I know. I often see Ah Shu buying flowers. Sometimes she will give me two as a gift. I have seen this rose in a book. It belongs to the Rosaceae family. Roses can bloom from spring to autumn. If they are roses grown in winter, they must have been grown in a greenhouse." said Chen Xuan, a little expert in planting.

"Yeah." Wei Yin still smiles when he thinks about it now. "I took the flowers back, and my mother spent a year asking for the price, but I didn't tell her. Otherwise, she would have gone crazy."

Chen Xuan immediately inquired, "This kind of flowers are also very expensive in winter?"

"Of course it's expensive. In the summer, Ah Shu can buy a bunch of roses for one dollar, but in the winter, one dollar can only buy two. I heard that it's still relatively cheap in Beijing, and it's even more expensive in Shanghai." Wei Yin said.

Since Chen Xuan had been growing strawberries, she had thought about growing flowers in the winter. This time, she was not going to do it by trial and error like she did when she was growing strawberries. She was going to borrow some books about flower cultivation from the Peking University Library.

However, business is busy during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

What's more, there is also the salon at Mr. Wen's house on August 11th to attend.

As long as it is not too busy, all the Wei family members will go to Mr. Wen’s salon, and Wei Yin will go along.

From the beginning, she could only listen to other people's lectures, but now she can occasionally express her own opinions. Another reason why Chen Xuan can maintain a very friendly relationship with Mr. Wen is that Chen Xuan has always admired Mr. Wen. Every time she came to Mr. Wen, after greeting him, the first sentence she said was, "Sir, I am reading xx book now."

Mr. Wen's attitude towards Chen Xuan has gradually evolved from initial encouragement to appreciation.

Even some scholars who often come to Mr. Laiwen's salon, knowing that Chen Xuan has started to learn Japanese as a second foreign language, will no longer laugh at Chen Xuan's determination to become a "first-class professor". If Chen Xuan's luck really explodes and he succeeds in this, then the people who will be embarrassed will be those who laughed at Chen Xuan's deeds.

It can be said that the one who truly brings respect to yourself is yourself.

Compared to the cautiousness of the first time they came to Mr. Wen's salon, the current Wei family members are no less polite and well-mannered than others. For example, Wei Yin received an extra business here. It was the editor-in-chief of the Peking Times, Mr. Ji, who was also the editor of Cheng Su's newspaper. When they met Wei Yin, they sat and drank coffee, and Mr. Ji talked about last year's calendar. Mr. Ji smiled and said, "The calendar cards we printed last year were much better than those of other families. Miss Wei, do you have time? I thought, it's better to do it for two people, so I'll ask Miss Wei to do this year's calendar cards for you."

"Mr. Ji, you are so polite. It's my honor." Wei Yin smiled, "I just don't know what your newspaper's requirements are this year—"

Editor Ji said, "It would be great if it was like last year. For a calendar, it must look good first. Miss Wei's aesthetic taste is the best I've ever seen. For the rest, Miss Wei can make the arrangements. Miss Wei can also help with the selection of the calendar girls."

Wei Yin smiled, "Then I'll give it to Mr. Ji for review after I finish the draft."

The two talked about calendar cards. Wei Yin was in charge of business and had a wide range of knowledge and experience, so he would also talk about current social affairs. Editor-in-Chief Ji, as the editor-in-chief of a newspaper, was also a talented person who was concerned about the country and the people. When talking about social ills, he was quite eloquent.

Chen Xuan still likes to listen to Professor Wu talk about some interesting folk stories. It is said that Professor Wu and Wei Nian and Chen Xuan are a couple with particularly similar personalities. Chen Xuan admires Professor Wu's knowledge, and Wei Nian likes to do business with Professor Wu.

So, Professor Wu became friends with the couple.

Mrs. Wen and Miss Wen came here together with Mrs. Wen. Mrs. Wen is as charming and beautiful as Miss Wen, and she is even more like the crystal snow in winter. Add to that the brilliance of Mrs. Wen, and even a young and beautiful woman like Wei Yin would be slightly inferior to her.

However, both Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Wen were older ladies, and Miss Wen was not that old. However, Miss Wen was so arrogant and cold that she kept people at a distance. Although the men present were not reluctant to approach her, they would rather talk to a cute girl like Wei Yin than to serve such a young lady.

Chen Xuan couldn't help but secretly admire Ms. Chen's wide social connections, because Ms. Chen came here with these outstanding ladies. Moreover, Ms. Chen was able to ignore Miss Wen's indifference and talk to Miss Wen very naturally, which was another skill that ordinary people couldn't have.

Mrs. Wen has always had a good impression of the Wei family's sisters-in-law, so Mrs. Wen naturally did not need outsiders to entertain her. However, Miss Wen was in her prime, and Mrs. Wen was worried that Miss Wen would be bored talking to them. Seeing the Wei family's sisters-in-law had all arrived, she called Chen Xuan over and introduced them to Mrs. Wen with a smile, "This is Mrs. Wei, and the pretty girl over there is Miss Wei. They are all outstanding. Mrs. Wei, let me introduce you. This is Mrs. Wen and Miss Wen from Nanjing. Mrs. Wen is an old friend of mine, and this is Miss Wen's first time here. You two are of similar age, so come and have fun together." She handed Miss Wen over to Chen Xuan and asked Chen Xuan to take Miss Wen to get familiar with the salon.

Mrs. Wen and Chen Xuan obviously recognized each other. Mrs. Wen smiled, "Mrs. Wei and I are destined to be together."

Chen Xuan was also a little surprised, "Yes, I didn't expect to meet the lady again."

The waiter brought the coffee, and Mrs. Wen placed one of the cups in front of Mrs. Wen and smiled, "It seems there must be a connection."

Mrs. Wen smiled and said to Mrs. Wen, "I met Mr. and Mrs. Wei at the Six Nations Hotel a few days ago."

Mrs. Wen smiled, "That's a coincidence." She added, "Mrs. Wei and Yaying are about the same age, so they can be friends."

Mrs. Wen formally introduced the ice girl beside her to Chen Xuan, "This is my daughter, Wen Yaying."

As if Chen Xuan didn't hear clearly, she asked, "This lady, is your name Yaying?"

"Yes, the Ya means elegant and splendid, and the Ying means heroic and dashing."

"Wen Yaying." Chen Xuan's face was pale for a moment, then returned to normal. Her eyes were filled with deep scrutiny, as if she wanted to carefully engrave Miss Wen's face into her heart. Chen Xuan heard her own voice saying, "Hello, Wen Yaying, I'm Chen Xuan."

Hello, Wen Yaying.

We who had never met in our previous life have met each other in this life.
