After breakfast early, Xu Qingsong helped put Liu Wangxue's luggage into the trunk.
Liu Wangxue said goodbye to the three, hugged each one, and told them to be obedient at home: "Stay with your grandparents, I will be back in a few days."
Gu Xuelan Standing in front of the car door, he called her: "Let's go, Xu Xu, I don't know the way." Will there be a traffic jam? Don’t wait until it’s too late.”
Liu Wangxue stood up, patted the three little ones on their heads, and then said to Liu Nanshan: “Dad, I’m leaving.”
Liu Nanshan nodded: "Go ahead and pay attention to safety on the road."
Liu Wangxue walked to the back of the car, shook Xu Qingsong's hand, and looked at him with a smile.
Xu Qingsong squeezed her palm: "Be safe."
"Yes." Liu Wangxue let go of her hand and walked around the back of the car to the passenger seat.
The three little ones had been following Liu Wangxue when they were stopped by Xu Qingsong. He lifted Xiaoci up with his long arms and held him in his arms. He then stopped Pengpeng, who was carrying Weiwei, and scratched its chin: "I'm going to the studio with me today. We have a snack for lunch, and there are big bones with meat to chew on. "
Pangpeng grinned when he heard it, and his tail wagged, happy.
Xiao Ci raised her head and shouted at Xu Qingsong: "Meow~" Extra food, I want it too!
Nailie flapped her wings: "Extra food! Extra food!"
The car drove away, and Gu Xuelan sent Liu Wangxue to the airport. Liu Nanshan and Xu Qingsong also locked the door and went to the studio together. Today the gaming team as a whole worked overtime, and Liu Nanshan also went to the canteen to help.
The journey to the airport went smoothly, there was no traffic jam, and Gu Xuelan stayed with Liu Wangxue until he went through the security check before returning.
It was noon when we arrived in Beijing. Mai Yuwei did not come this time. She was officially promoted to manager not long ago and began to manage artists. Originally Du Yunxiang asked Anding to arrange for another person to come over, but Liu Wangxue declined politely, not wanting to cause trouble to others. This time it only took one day in total, and the recording of the program was with the director and actors. Those trivial matters It's not like she can't handle it.
Liu Wangxue's flight was the same as Jing Yujun's. After she arrived, she waited at the airport for a while and then took his car. The two had a simple lunch together and went directly to the TV station.
This afternoon is mainly to meet with the director team of "Watch a Good Drama with You", to get familiar with the host, to review the script, and to rehearse the program flow.
It was already evening when the group of people left the TV station. Jing Yujun said: "Let's go, the Beijing Tongguo Shabu Shabu has been ordered."
I originally wanted to wait until the program is finished recording tomorrow. We wanted to have a dinner together, but Ni Jia came here on leave from the crew. As soon as the recording ends tomorrow afternoon, he has to catch a flight back to Hengdian, and the actor named Shen Xun, one of the two main supporting actors, also has to rush back to Su City for a meal. I was a flying guest in a variety show, so the dinner was scheduled for tonight.
Jing Yujun asked his assistant to order from a time-honored restaurant in Beijing called Qingji. It has a history of more than a hundred years and has always made traditional mutton-shabu-shabu.
When the group arrived, the lobby on the first floor of the store was already full of people, and everywhere was steaming, and the aroma penetrated directly into their noses.
Lou Rui couldn't help but mutter: "I'm even hungrier."
Ni Jia echoed: "That's right, it smells so good!"
Liu Wangxue said with a smile: "Anyway, the director is treating us to a treat, so we'll start eating soon."
Jing Yujun raised two fingers toward her: "Two cans of pickled dried radish."
Liu Wangxue said "OK": "No problem."
A waiter came to greet them while he was talking. After asking, he led them to the second floor.
Another actor who played a supporting role was named Ran Anyu. When the waiter was leading the way, he asked Liu Wangxue: "Xu Xu, do you know how to make pickled radish?"
"No, it's me. Dad made it." Liu Wangxue replied, and then added, "But I can do it, but the taste is bad. "It's a thousand miles away."
She felt that she was just like Gu Xuelan, but she just didn't have the talent for cooking. When she cooked it herself, she strictly followed Liu Nanshan's recipe, even Liu Nanshan's. When she made it before, she tried it again and followed step by step, but the taste was just not right.
After hearing this, Jing Yujun hurriedly said: "Don't make excuses. I want to eat what my uncle cooks, not what you cook."
"Hey, look at this guy -" Liu Wangxue pretended to be slightly angry. , pointing at Jing Yujun, expressing her dissatisfaction to everyone.
The four actors helped the screenwriter to criticize the director together——
Shen Xun: “It’s good to eat some, but you have to be picky!”
Ran Anyu: “ Isn’t that right? Is this an attitude of asking for help? ”
Lou Rui: "Sister Xu Xu's hands are for writing scripts. They are overqualified for making dried radishes!"
Ni Jia: "That's right!"
Jing Yujun's eyes swept over Lou Rui and Ni Jia's faces said coldly: "Don't let the next part of the drama fall into my hands."
Lou Rui and Ni Jia immediately fell silent. When Jing Yujun couldn't see them, they Looking at each other, they both saw the same complaint in each other's eyes - they knew they were bullying the weak!
A private room at the corner was not closed. When everyone passed by and turned right, a lady in a suit and exquisite make-up happened to turn around after talking to the waiter beside her. Looking up, he saw Liu Wangxue's profile.
The lady was confused and couldn't help but chase her to the door, her eyes following Liu Wangxue's back. After Liu Wangxue and the others turned right, she lost sight of them. She thought, maybe not, maybe they saw it wrong.
The waiter inside called her: "Mr. Jiang, do you want to replace this vase too?"
The lady looked around the corner again, then turned and returned to the private room.
Turn right and pass through two doors, which is the private room booked by Assistant Jing Yujun.
Liu Wangxue and the others were six in total, plus each and his assistant, making a total of eleven. Jing Yujun felt that sitting at one table with many people and making snacks was not satisfying, so he asked his assistant to book two small tables. The assistant told her request when she called to reserve a location, and the store arranged two small connected private rooms. There is a wooden removable partition wall between the private rooms. After being removed, it becomes a large room. The distance between the two tables is very close, which is very convenient for talking and other things.
After everyone sat down, Jing Yujun took the menu and started ordering. We had eaten together before when we were on the set, and there were no taboos. Jing Yujun didn't say much, and just asked the assistant to take a look at what to eat at the table, and then reported a list to the waiter according to the menu. After ordering, he passed the menu to Liu Wangxue and the others: "Look, is there anything else you want to add?"
Liu Wangxue and the others ordered a few more snacks and drinks.
After ordering the dishes, Liu Wangxue wanted to go to the bathroom, so she told everyone and got up to go out.
Ni Jia also stood up: "Sister Xu Xu, I'm coming with you."
The two of them walked out the door hand in hand. They didn't see any signs anywhere. They saw the private room next to them. A waiter came out and asked, and learned that it was downstairs.
The two of them went downstairs hand in hand again, turning left at the top of the stairs and walking back.
Coming out of the compartment, Liu Wangxue knocked on the door opposite: "Jiajia, I'll wait for you outside."
"Okay," Ni Jia responded, and then suddenly He called Liu Wangxue to stop, with a tone that sounded like he was in bad luck, "Sister Xu Xu——"
"What's wrong?" Liu Wangxue turned around and stood at the door of her cubicle and asked.
Ni Jia said with a sad face: "I'm on my period."
Liu Wangxue's first reaction was to ask Ni Jia if there was anything wrong with her clothes. Ni Jia was wearing a pair of light-colored jeans. Liu Wangxue didn't notice it when she just came downstairs or entered the bathroom. At this moment, Liu Wangxue began to recall where there were clothing stores on the way to the hotel and which one was the closest.
"It's okay," Ni Jia replied, feeling embarrassed for causing trouble to Liu Wangxue, "but it's two days early and I didn't bring anything with me. Sister Xu Xu, I seemed to see something when I was in the car There is a convenience store nearby. Can you help me buy it? "
"Okay, wait for me for a while." After that, Liu Wangxue walked out, washed his hands, and left the hotel. Go to the convenience store. Ni Jia remembered correctly, and Liu Wangxue also saw it in the car. The convenience store was right next to it. Turn right when you go out, and you will see a pickled fish and fried noodle restaurant next to it. Liu Wangxue was afraid that Ni Jia would be embarrassed for a while, so after buying it, she asked the clerk for a small opaque plastic bag to put it in.
When he returned to the hotel, he looked up and saw the "Qingji" sign again. Liu Wangxue suddenly had an idea in his mind. Xu Qingsong's junior uncle was named Xie, and he had a family in Xishi. "Xie Ji", his great uncle happened to be named Qing. Could this "Qing Ji" belong to his great uncle's family?
Thinking like this, I feel funny. How can there be so many coincidences in the world? Shaking his head, he strode inside.
After giving the small bag to Ni Jia, Liu Wangxue came out to wait for her. At the same time, he took out his mobile phone to send a message to Xu Qingsong, telling him that Jing Yujun was treating guests to hot-boiled mutton for dinner, and also told him the association he had just made. .
Xu Qingsong didn't reply immediately. Liu Wangxue knew that he must still be working overtime, so he put away his phone and began to look at the environment here.
The place here is spacious and well decorated. There is a floor-to-ceiling window next to the bathroom. There is also a fish pond under the window and some rockery and waterfall landscaping. There were murals one after another on the wall of the corridor. Liu Wangxue looked at these murals and arrived at the entrance of the corridor unknowingly.
This mural has nothing special, it only depicts cooks and diners. The chef's knife skills were excellent, and the mutton slices were so thin that they were translucent. The diners devoured their food and praised the food in their mouths.
Liu Wangxue had only heard of mutton-boiled meat before, but had never tasted it. After seeing this mural, she couldn’t wait to go back upstairs to try it. The dishes should be ready, she thought, why hasn't Ni Jia come out yet? Could it be that she has a stomachache?
Just when she was about to go back and take a look, she heard someone calling her out of question, still calling her by her nickname.
"Xuxu?"
Liu Wangxue turned around and saw a lady with very exquisite makeup and clothing. There was a man and a woman beside the lady, the woman was wearing a suit. , wearing a name badge, is the manager, the man is wearing a waiter's uniform, is the foreman.
Liu Wangxue looked at the lady in the middle, thinking that it was him she called him.
Liu Wangxue felt that this lady looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, she felt a little unsure and said, "Auntie?"
The moment Liu Wangxue turned around, Jiang Lin knew that she was right.
While upstairs, Jiang Lin caught a glimpse of the side face. The more she thought about it, the more she felt like Liu Wangxue, so she took the opportunity of the waiter to serve the food and went in to give a verbal "customer satisfaction" speech. investigation".
Jiang Lin thought that Liu Wangxue must not know her, but she couldn't pretend that she hadn't seen her when she saw her, so she planned to confirm it. If it was true, she would definitely have to take care of her.
In addition, if it is true, then she will have to scold Xu Qingsong. His girlfriend has come to Beijing, but he has not seen anyone and has not said a word to his family. Isn't it normal?
Unfortunately, Liu Wangxue was not inside. But everyone at that table, from the director to the actor Jiang Lin, recognized each other. Everyone in the family was watching the drama "Early Spring Stream". Jiang Lin felt that maybe she was right.
Then Jiang Lin went to inspect elsewhere and then came downstairs. As soon as she turned around, she saw Liu Wangxue looking at the mural in the corridor. She thought to herself, what a fate. She couldn't go to the private room upstairs for a second time. She would have something to do soon, and she couldn't wait until they finished eating and came downstairs. She was about to leave, but luckily, whatever she wanted came to her.
However, what Jiang Lin saw now was Liu Wangxue's side face again, and the uncertainty in her heart resurfaced, so she tentatively called her.
When Liu Wangxue turned around, Jiang Lin saw her face, and she immediately smiled, thinking to herself, she was indeed right, she was exactly the same as "Xuxu" in the photo!
Jiang Lin thought that Liu Wangxue must not know her, and was about to make a simple self-introduction when she heard Liu Wangxue say "Auntie."
Although it was a question, Jiang Lin was still surprised and happy by the shout. She quickly walked over, held Liu Wangxue's hand, and asked affectionately: "Hey, how did you recognize me?" "Yeah?"
Liu Wangxue was relieved. He also held Jiang Lin's hand in response to her enthusiasm, and replied with a smile: "Qingsong showed me the photos."
Photos of everyone in the family, when Liu Wangxue agreed to accompany Xu Qingsong After coming back to celebrate her birthday, Xu Qingsong showed it to her. Including the family of his grandfather's uncle, second uncle, and third uncle, whom Liu Wangxue had never met.
Xu Qingsong said at the time: "I have a large family. I'm afraid that you will see them all at once, and it will be difficult to match names and faces. Come, I will take you to preview."
So Liu Wangxue watched Xu Qingsong pointing at the people in the photo and listened to his introduction one by one.
Xu Qingsong's uncles and uncles are called like this according to their ranking, but their wife Xu Qingsong's children are called aunt or aunt. This is Xu Qingsong's grandfather's rule, saying that calling her this way is more intimate. Listening is like a family.
Last night, after Liu Wangxue had packed his luggage, Xu Qingsong opened the photos on his phone again and reviewed them with Liu Wangxue.
Liu Wangxue really didn't expect that in such a small capital city, she would meet Xu Qingsong's aunt even if she went out to have a meal. She was really grateful to Xu Qingsong for showing her the photos and identifying the person, and she was even more grateful that she really paid attention to remembering them. Even on the plane this morning, she took her phone and looked at the photos again.
While being surprised, Liu Wangxue praised Jiang Lin sincerely: "You are even more radiant than you look in the photos!"
"Ouch——" Jiang Lin The smile on Lin's face became even bigger, and she touched Liu Wangxue's face affectionately, "Why is this mouth so sweet? Look, you are praising me!"
"Tell the truth!" Liu Wangxue said.
Jiang Lin felt happy, and then asked: "Are you here? Where is Qingsong?"
Liu Wangxue said: "He worked overtime today and didn't come over..."< br>
“Working overtime?” When Jiang Lin heard this, she couldn’t wait for the second half of Liu Wangxue’s sentence, and her tone was a bit reproachful, “What kind of overtime can I have to have a girlfriend again?” Do you want it? This kid really doesn’t know how to do things, how can he let you come here alone?"
After Jiang Lin finished speaking, Liu Wangxue got the opportunity to "redress her grievances" to Xu Qingsong, she guessed Jiang Lin must have known that Xu Qingsong was coming back to celebrate her birthday, but she didn't know that she had come to Beijing first - she didn't let Xu Qingsong tell her family for fear of causing trouble to her elders.
Because Xu Qingsong didn't know whether he was joking or serious, he told Liu Wangxue that his whole family was looking forward to Liu Wangxue going back with him, and they were looking forward to it.
Xu Qingsong also said yesterday: "Okay, then I won't tell you that you arrived early, lest my old man and old lady know that you are going to record a show and sneak into the audience to support you. But You have to be mentally prepared in advance so as not to be frightened by their enthusiasm.”
It was such a coincidence that I met Jiang Lin here.
"No, auntie, he really can't leave. He has been working overtime for several days in a row." Liu Wangxue said, "I also happened to have a job, so I met a few friends from the crew We came here together first, and we just arrived in the morning. Qingsong will come back tomorrow, and I will finish work tomorrow afternoon and go back with him in the evening. Let’s have dinner at home.”
“You kid——” Jiang Lin looked at Liu Wangxue with a slightly reproachful look, but she felt that this scene was not yet a formal meeting, so it was not appropriate to care too much. However, fearing that Liu Wangxue would be disgusted, he stopped talking and did not ask her what her specific job was. He only cared about where she would live tonight.
The hotel was booked by An Ding, so Liu Wangxue told Jiang Lin the name and location.
Jiang Lin nodded and said: "The environment there is not bad. In this case, I know their manager. I will call them later and say that if you and your friends have any needs, just ask them. You're welcome."
Liu Wangxue didn't refuse, and said playfully: "Then let me thank Auntie for them first."
Jiang Lin patted Liu Wangxue's hand: "It's okay, my family."
"By the way, aunt, have you had dinner?" Liu Wangxue asked.
"I've been losing weight recently, so I can't have dinner. I just came here to take a look." Jiang Lin waved her hands and looked at her watch. "Hey, it's almost time. I have something to do later, so my aunt will leave first."< br>
Liu Wangxue pretended to join her: "Then I'll see you off."
"No, it's okay." Jiang Lin patted her hand. At the end of this corridor is the bathroom. Just now in the private room, she saw that two people were missing from the seats. Combined with a quick glance at the corner, she knew at a glance that the two little girls came together, "You are waiting here, don't let your friends come out and find you." ."
Liu Wangxue still wanted to send it off, but Jiang Lin refused, so she had to follow him for two steps and say goodbye to Jiang Lin.
When I turned around again, I saw Ni Jia had come out carrying the small plastic bag.
Ni Jia trotted over and took Liu Wangxue's arm: "Sister Xu Xu, who was that just now? She has the aura of a strong woman."
"A relative of Mr. Xu's family." Liu Wangxue Answer, I went upstairs with Ni Jia and asked, "Are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Why did it take you so long to come out?"
"No discomfort, everything is normal." Ni Jia She whispered, "Before I even had time to lift my pants, Sister Nan's phone call came, so I sat back and answered the phone."
"That's really good," Liu Wangxue laughed at her, "I I almost went in to catch you."
As he spoke, he felt the phone in his pocket vibrate. Liu Wangxue took it out and saw that it was Xu Qingsong's reply: [The association is correct! Director Jing is really good at choosing restaurants. He picked my great uncle's restaurant right away. When you pay the bill, you can directly tell me my name and I will pay. 】
When Liu Wangxue sent the message to Xu Qingsong, she was just thinking about it, but after seeing Jiang Lin and the manager and foreman behind her, she started to have some suspicions in her heart. Just now, Jiang Lin said that she would not have dinner but just come over for a visit. She felt that this was evidence from the side. At this time, Xu Qingsong directly confirmed it.
Liu Wangxue took her arm out of Ni Jia's arm and typed with both hands: [Mr. Xu, guess who I met] (End of this chapter)
