At this time, he saw his wife showing a sudden color.
Xu Jin stood up and asked curiously, "madam, do you know who this distinguished guest is today?"
Cui smiled and then got up: "I guess... Which one is it? I'll know when I see it later."
Xu Jin raised his eyebrows - and sold them to him?
When he came to the dining room, he was surprised to see the distinguished guest.
The young man in a dark auspicious cloud robe embroidered with crows and green embroidery and a white jade crown with hair was as shaped as bamboo. He got up and saluted: "I've seen Uncle Xu and aunt Xu."
"Wu Shisun..." Xu Jin was extremely surprised - the distinguished guest invited by his father was Wang Shisun of Dingnan?
I still remember that when Wu Shisun came to the door last time, he was picked up and carried home by his father
This time... How did you get in?
Xu Jin wanted to ask, but he didn't ask, but he didn't expect to go any ordinary way.
Although he didn't ask, the young man was very honest and took the initiative to explain: "the current situation is special. The younger generation didn't enter the house through the main door in order to hide people's ears and eyes. Please forgive my uncle and aunt for their impoliteness."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Cui smiled. Although the child shouted uncle and aunt, how could she sound like calling father-in-law and mother-in-law?
Then look at the girl standing on the side of the boy. Her eyes are clear and smiling. How do they look? How do they match each other
Cui Shi smiled, but suddenly felt a little astringent at the bottom of his heart - he had a strong sense of substitution. Now he was marrying his daughter.
But it is undeniable that there is more joy.
Cold dishes had been placed on the table, and the aroma came into his nose. Cui felt as if it was more fragrant than before.
Xu Jin also said, "it's OK," and he politely and warmly entertained: "no matter which door he went, Wu Shisun is a distinguished guest today. Please take a seat quickly."
Several people said and walked to the table. Wu Chiu sat down with Xu Mingyi after the Duke of the town and Xu Jin took their seats.
Seeing that the Duke of the town knew that the Wu family had heavy rules, he casually said, "our Xu family has a simple population and light rules. In private, there is no talk of sharing seats between men and women. We should only have a casual meal today."
The boy nodded and said "yes".
Isn't this just a sign that he hasn't been entertained as an outsider?
Although he failed to go to the front door, he felt that he had got his place.
But some people are worried that the big bird sitting in his side chair is quite familiar with eating at the table. There are soft meat and vegetables specially prepared for the big bird on the table, and there are obviously special dishes and water cans for the bird in front of the big bird——
How to say this... It's like something he didn't get easily, but the bird has all this effortlessly and sits on the top easily.
Before starting the chopsticks, they all presented a glass of wine, which can be regarded as receiving the wind and washing the dust for the old man.
Then the old man had a drink with Wu Tsui alone.
Although I didn't say much, everything seemed to be in the wine.
Looking at this scene, Xu Jin vaguely felt that there was something wrong.
My father is not quite right, and Wu Shisun is not quite right
I even feel that this way of getting along with the old and the young is somewhat deja vu
"Come, Zhaozhao, eat a piece of fish." before the Duke of Zhenguo moved his chopsticks, he first took a piece of fish meat and sent it to his granddaughter's bowl. He picked the meat from the belly of the fish.
"Thank you, Grandpa." Xu Mingyi smiled.
When the Duke of the town nodded with a smile and took back his eyes, he subconsciously stayed on Wu Tsung for a moment.
Wu Chiu was keen. When he came to the door today, he looked around all the time, listened to all directions, noticed the old man's eyes, thought for a moment, and understood the deep meaning -- well, the deep meaning that doesn't exist.
Then he reached out and grabbed a piece of fish meat, which was also fish belly meat. After carefully selecting the thorns on the empty plate, he pushed them together with the plate to the girl and said, "the shad is delicious but thorny. You should be careful when you import it."
Looking at the fresh and tender fish sent to him, Xu Mingyi was stunned for a moment. A shallow pear vortex appeared on his cheek, nodded and said, "well, good."
Cui Shi was surprised, but he couldn't help smiling.
Xu Jin was shocked, confused and confused - what is this?
He was a guest when he came to the door. How could he pick up meat and stir up fish bones for his daughter?
The Duke of the town was stunned and laughed: "look, look, this is really the church apprentice starving to death!"
This boy is good enough!
Seeing his father's reaction, Xu Jin even began to doubt life - is he wrong or is the world wrong?!
Wait
After the two children exchanged their eyes quietly in front of him, what happened to their smiling appearance—— Looking at this posture, it means that they will get married tomorrow. I'm afraid he will believe it!
As soon as the idea took shape in Xu Jin's mind, it exploded like a thunder.
“……”
He seems to have realized.
The Wu family boy... Shouldn't he marry his daughter!
He said that when he saw Wu Shisun tonight, every move of the other party seemed to refer to a specific identity... This was him when he first visited yuan's father-in-law's house!
Although it was Zhaozhao's mother who first fell in love with his beauty, his father-in-law hesitated about the marriage at first, and he also worked hard for it - who hasn't had any experience of being cautious at his father-in-law's house?
Realizing this, Xu Jin fell into a fog.
He knows the truth, but when did this... Happen?
Why does he know nothing about being a father?
In this way, nephew Zhou Jiashi may not have the chance to be his son-in-law
Xu Jin sighed quietly in his heart. He couldn't help feeling that things in the world made people happy. I think Wu Shisun got rid of his happy fate by relying on his family background. Now how can he go around and deliver it to the door by himself?
It doesn't mean that the other party's sheep into the tiger's mouth
With such a complicated mood, Xu Jin secretly looked at everything about the boy.
It is said that the father-in-law looks at his son-in-law, but he can't find anything wrong at all.
And in the process, he vaguely figured out one thing
If nephew Zhou Shi were sitting here tonight, it would be like "this shrimp is good!", "this elbow sauce is good!", "and this fried chicken breast is not worse than the champion building!"... Such a painting style.
As for picking fish bones for Zhaozhao in an orderly way, oh, I've just mixed some dishes... These are probably impossible things. They are as simple as nephew Zhou. I must have only one idea - "since a servant girl can do, I just eat meat".
In this way, there are indeed differences between people if they are compared.
But on the other hand, it doesn't seem to make any sense for him to think so much here - can he surpass his father and daughter and choose his own son-in-law?
After realizing this, Xu Jin completely accepted his fate... Oh, no, completely relieved.
In this case, Xu Jin took up his wine cup and paid tribute to the young man who was courteous to his daughter everywhere, but didn't make people feel more flattering. He still gave people a very cultured feeling. He said with a smile: "I heard Zhaozhao say earlier that it was thanks to Wu Shisun's secret help to find an antidote for my old man... I'd like to toast Wu Shisun here. It's also a token of gratitude."
"Uncle is serious. The Duke of the state can return to Beijing safely. Because Zhaozhao has handled it properly, the younger generation dare not ask for credit."
That's what he said, but he didn't let the elders wait with a glass. Wu Chiu also grabbed the glass: "this glass of wine should be respected by the younger generation to my uncle."
Xu Jin smiled more and drank the wine in the cup with the young man.
Xu Mingyi glanced at Wu Tsui - regardless of his drinking capacity, he always looked light and gentle when eating wine. When she first drank with him, she was cheated by him. She really thought he was an expert who never got drunk.
"Well, don't come here and have a good meal! There's still business to talk about after dinner. How can we talk about things when drunk?" the old man glanced at his eldest son with a warning in his eyes.
Xu Jin replied "yes" with a busy smile.
Yes, my father just came back today. He must have a lot of important things to talk to him.
It is not suitable to talk deeply during the banquet. After all, there are Wu Shisun, the Wu family. Many topics are too sharp and sensitive. They can only be said by one family behind closed doors.
Xu Jin thought so and didn't touch the wine again.
"Zhaozhao, ah yuan, follow me to the study." after dinner, the old man got up and said.
"Yes."
Xu Jin:?
A real mistake?
"Uncle, aunt, please excuse me first." the young man saluted in front of him.
Cui nodded with a smile, "go quickly."
Watching the old man leave with his two children, Xu Jin sat there and silently looked at his slow tea wife: "what happened to Wu Shisun and Zhaozhao... Did your wife know long ago?"
Cui smiled without saying anything.
"... why didn't the lady tell me?" Xu Jin was a little dissatisfied - he said that his good brother would keep watch and help each other? That's how you treat him?
"I see it with my own eyes. How do I know you can't see it?"
Xu Jin:... He must blame himself for not being successful?
Pay attention to the official account: the book club's main camp is concerned about sending cash and coins.
Cui took another sip of tea: "don't talk about me, even Ming Shi and second uncle saw the signs early..."
Then he took a look at the big bird squatting in the side chair dozing off with enough food and drink - even Tianmu had seen it for a long time. If you really want to say it, it may be half a matchmaker.
The more Xu Jin listened, the more complicated his face became, and murmured, "according to this... I was the only one who was in the dark?"
Cui glanced at him.
For obvious things, I have to drill into the drum. Who deceived him?
……
Outside the study room, Yunbo sent in the freshly brewed tea.
After receiving the tea from the old servant, Wu Chiu said, "thank you."
Yunbo smiled and nodded at him.
Wu Tsui felt that there seemed to be a lot of deep meaning in this smile
He remembered the old servant.
When he was rescued back to the town government, it was the one who brought him the good news and told him it was his blessing——
In the past, he ignored this statement and avoided it. Now think about it, the old man's vision is indeed long-term.
Yunbo quickly backed out.
When the door was closed, Xu Mingyi looked at the teenager sitting opposite him with a warm enamel flower and bird tea in his hand. Suddenly, she felt that this scene made her inexplicably moved and relieved
She didn't know what other girls were like. Maybe she was different from others——
For her, what touched her most was not to enjoy the moon under the flowers, but just like now, he had dinner at her home, followed behind her grandfather with her, walked a path covered with moonlight, came to this lighted study, sat here, holding tea in his hand, waiting to talk about business
This is a matter of life and death for him, her and the families behind them. They are all thinking of ways to deal with it——
It is also related to the affairs of the world, and on this, he also resonates with her.
They want to work hard for the same thing on the same road. This fetter seems to have been more than the word Xinyue.
They seem to have become the closest people unconsciously. This intimacy is not only the relationship between men and women, but also becomes more and more irreplaceable.
Just as at this time, he was also looking at her. When they looked at each other, under the orange gauze lamp, the young yinglang's eyebrows smiled gently.
"Wu Shisun..."
If the old man sitting at the head opened his mouth, Wu Chiu was about to say "younger generation is here", but he heard the old man say: "speaking, should I call you the son of the Yan king?"
Wu Tsui was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't see too many strange things: "it turns out that the general has already known - the younger generation has just known about it."
Xu Mingyi nodded and looked at his grandfather with a look of "he really just knew, I can testify".
The Duke of the town laughed.
He didn't say to blame the boy for hiding his true identity!
Look at this girl!
"I met the Lord secretly, but he didn't hide it from me." the Duke of the town took a sip of tea and was quite complacent. He asked the boy, "do you remember what I said at the beginning?"
"The Duke of China once said that I have some divine similarities with the prince." Wu Tsui always remembered the position of prospective sun's son-in-law and applauded: "the Duke of China's wise eyes are like a torch."
The Duke of the town was very useful, and then smiled and said, "well, when I was in Dongyuan City, thanks to the Lord secretly taking charge of the overall situation for me, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be exploited by the Jackal... One of you ran to Dongyuan to help me, and the other stayed in Beijing to help me. I wrote down the kindness of helping."
Wu Chiu said, "the Duke should pay more attention to the truth." the family didn't have to say two words.
Xu Mingyi was a little worried. He simply interrupted the conversation between them and asked, "since Grandpa has met with the Lord, I don't know what's his plan now?"
That's what she's most concerned about right now.
"What are you going to do..." the Duke of town looked at his granddaughter with a relaxed tone and even a smile: "in fact, this Daqing River and mountain is half what we Xu family laid down - and the emperor is not worthy of this river and mountain, nor of our Xu family's loyalty, so let's change another one!"
