The Regent's little cutie is four and a half years old

Chapter 617

On the official road three miles away from the capital, several carriages were driving towards the capital, followed by many maids and servants, and a group of guards with swords.

"Master, don't worry, there are only three miles away, and we will arrive soon."

The carriage in the front is a couple, in their forties, but they are maintained to look only in their 30s, especially the lady, who looks like she is only in her early thirties.

She has delicate makeup on her face, and her eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Princess Ming An. She is Xie Yan'er's mother, Mrs. Jing Tinghou.

And the one beside her is Jing Tinghou.

She was holding her husband's arm to comfort him, "Look at you now, what you want to see is your future son-in-law, and you are still nervous, shouldn't it be your future son-in-law who is nervous now?"

"Oh, don't talk about it, I'm just nervous. When we left Beijing, Cheng Lang's child was only about ten years old. Now that so many years have passed, I don't know what he looks like. I think I will recognize him when I see him again. I can't come out." Jing Tinghou rubbed his knees with his hands, it could be seen that he was really nervous now.

"Okay, don't think about it too much. The child Huai'er is watching over here in the capital. If Cheng Lang develops a bad temper, he will definitely write to tell us. He also prepared a dowry for us, Yan'er. It shows that he is optimistic about this marriage."

"That's right, don't think about it anymore, let's talk about it when we meet someone." Jing Tinghou slapped his thigh, thinking about it.

After two incense sticks, the carriage appeared not far from the city gate. Yu'er was the first to see them, and hurried back to report.

"Princess, Uncle, Master and Madam, they are here, and the carriage will soon enter the city gate."

Yu'er's voice was loud, and Gu Qingning who was in the carriage heard it too, so she came down and went out with them to pick up people.

The carriage approached slowly and stopped in front of them, the curtain was lifted, and Jing Tinghou and Mrs. Hou got out of the carriage.

Seeing the daughter I haven't seen for a year, my eyes are wet.

"Smoke..."

"Father, mother..."

Xie Yan'er went over and threw herself into the arms of the two of them, while Cheng Lang and Gu Qingning stood aside and looked at them, letting them catch up on the past first.

After hugging for a while, they let go, Jing Tinghou shifted his gaze to Cheng Lang, and looked up and down the future son-in-law.

This model looks good, and he is also energetic and temperamental, but he has never been with him before, so he doesn't know what kind of person he is.

Cheng Lang stood where he was, allowing Jingting to look at him, his heart pounding, what if the future father-in-law didn't like him?
After looking at it for a while, Jing Tinghou withdrew his gaze.

Cheng Lang gave him a good first impression, so he greeted him, "Young man looks very energetic, is he an official now?"

Cheng Lang nodded, and said: "I started working in the household department last month, and I was still a small servant. The prince said that I should work hard and climb up by my own efforts."

"Well, yes, work hard, try to climb a little higher, but you don't need to be too high, just do your best." Jing Tinghou patted him on the shoulder, which was considered a preliminary recognition of him.

"By the way, this is..." Jing Tinghou saw a little girl standing beside Cheng Lang, and that was Gu Qingning.

She can't be Cheng Lang's sister or something?
I never heard that he has a younger sister.

Seeing that he noticed her, Gu Qingning bowed to him, "Ning'er has met Lord Hou, I am the daughter of the late General Gu, and my name is Gu Qingning."
