Chapter 385 Love
When Master Si saw his wife, he smiled and introduced: "Ma'am, this is the new champion of our Jin Dynasty, Wang Qiusheng. I invite people to have dinner at home. Qiusheng is from the Northwest, and let the cook cook some meals that suit your taste."
Qiu Sheng saw Mrs. Si for the first time, bowed and saluted respectfully: "Qiu Sheng met Mrs. Si."
"Prince Wang, you don't need to be too polite."
Mrs. Si took a look at Qiusheng, the champion of the new division, Wang Qiusheng... Alas, isn't this the man Mingyue often talks about.
Madam Si looked at her curiously again, no wonder Mingyue raised her eyes and her eyes were bright, she looked really handsome.
Master Si coughed lightly to remind Qiu Sheng's appearance is good, but Madam can't just stare at him.
Mrs. Si smiled and looked away. It was rare to see her husband be so kind to others, nodding with a dignified smile, and asked the woman beside him to give instructions, while she looked at Qiu Sheng and said, "Please come to the room, Mr. Zhuangyuan."
Because she wanted to greet guests, Mrs. Si ordered the servant girl to invite someone in the backyard. After thinking about it, she asked the maidservant to tell her daughter about the guests at the house.
Although it is not appropriate to see a foreigner, but my daughter has always admired this champion man, so I am sure she will temporarily forget those sad things.

Backyard.
In an exquisite house, Si Mingyue leaned on a wooden table with her chin propped, her eyes fixed on the pen holder on the table.
I saw that the pen holder had a unique shape, looked like a rabbit, and was carved with patterns on the outside, and the texture was made of clay, which looked very unique.
At this time, the servant girl walked in lightly, carrying tea.
Si Mingyue seemed to have never noticed it, with a round and fair face and a gentle face, her eyes were still fixed on the clay figurine, but if you look carefully, the watery almond eyes under the willow-leaf eyebrows are a little distracted.
"Miss, drink some tea to moisten your throat."
The servant girl poured a cup of tea, and brought it over as she spoke.
Si Mingyue moved her eyes just now, she held her chin and said softly, "Put it on the table. I don't want to drink tea or eat. My mother will send someone to tell me to take a rest."
The servant girl was just transferred from the madam, and she didn't say much after hearing this, she bowed her head respectfully and replied: "Yes."
Si Mingyue didn't look back, she rubbed her sore arms, her gentle face was tinged with worry.
Hearing about Princess Jinyuan made me feel uncomfortable. When I went out to relax and was gossiped about because of Qin'er, I met Jin Zeyu's book boy delivering the letter at the door. Under the letter of appointment.
She would not have vented her emotions like this on weekdays, but today there are too many things, she is really upset.
Brother Qiusheng won the first prize, she was very happy in her heart, she originally wanted to talk to her parents, but before she could speak, the news that Princess Jinyuan was chasing the first prize spread all over the sky.
It's natural for her to feel uncomfortable when her beloved is missed by other women.
But the other party is a princess. She knows that brother Qiusheng is not the kind of person who clings to the powerful, but a princess is no better than an ordinary person. It is a symbol of the royal family's status. How can people in the Tian family not get what they want.
Even if Brother Qiusheng has someone he likes, Princess Jinyuan still moves to her side as always, there is no guarantee when the imperial decree of marriage will come down.
Thinking of this, Si Mingyue felt a suffocation in her heart, and raised her hand to smooth her heart to hide her panic.
"Miss, the master has returned home and brought a distinguished guest."
The servant girl's voice sounded again outside the door.
Si Mingyue hurriedly turned her back on, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, hiding her emotions.
The servant girl walked into the room and said with a smile: "The elder sister outside the courtyard said that the distinguished guest is a newly promoted scholar, and Madam specially asked the young lady to go and have dinner together."
Si Mingyue was taken aback for a moment, and the handkerchief on her fingertips fell to the ground.
Responding, she got up anxiously and turned her head, looked at the servant girl in disbelief and asked, "You mean Zhuangyuan Lang?"
The servant girl was also taken aback by the young lady, she hurriedly nodded and replied: "Yes, it is said that the young master's surname is Wang."
Si Mingyue's eyes lit up, that was brother Qiusheng!
After she was happy, she pinched the handkerchief again, and couldn't help worrying, how could brother Qiusheng be invited by her father to have dinner at home?
Could it be that Brother Qiusheng said something to his father? Or did dad know something?
"Miss, shall we go or not?" the maid asked.
Si Mingyue said without thinking, "Go."
…
Hall,
Mrs. Si was smiling and talking to Qiu Sheng, but Mr. Si couldn't get in the way at all, so she had to drink tea from a teacup and listen.
"Qiu Sheng, do you have any sisters at home?" Mrs. Si asked casually.
Qiu Sheng heard that his younger brother and sister looked gentle, and replied softly: "Yes, there is a younger brother and two younger sisters in the family."
Master Si showed surprise in his eyes, and then smiled lightly: "Oh, then your parents are really lucky. It is very happy to have such a big brother like you to protect your younger siblings."
Qiu Sheng had a warm face, and replied with a faint smile: "My younger brothers and sisters are very promising. At the beginning, my traveling expenses to Beijing for the exam were all earned by my younger brothers and sisters. If you want to say that, I am afraid that I am the happiest."
Madam Si was taken aback when she heard that, but she didn't expect him to be honest.
This should be placed on others, maybe because he is ashamed of his own face, he will say a lot of advantages to promote himself, but he said these without hesitation.
Rather than being honest, this is not a kind of inner strength, so it is not in these remarks.
Mrs. Si was very satisfied with this kind of talented and upright person. She looked at him with a gentle look, and boasted with a smile: "Your brother and sister are really outstanding. My wife likes it when I hear it. I must see you someday." It is."
"Ahem."
Master Si cleared his throat, and hastily winked at his wife.
Who would meet a guest's family members when they first came to the door? Qiu Sheng said a little bit shyly, don't scare people away in a while.
How could Mrs. Si understand so much of his meaning, she only thought that his throat was uncomfortable, and ordered casually: "Ask the kitchen to make a cup of pear soup."
After finishing speaking, she continued to smile and said to Qiusheng: "Auntie, this is not a polite word. Your parents can raise you with such a good temperament. Auntie is really envious."
Qiu Sheng was naturally happy to hear that his wife was so close, and he generously and gently agreed: "To be loved by Mrs. Si, Qiu Sheng thanked his wife on behalf of his younger siblings."
"What's the matter, thank you..."
Master Si saw his daughter approaching from a distance, and hurriedly ordered the maid serving behind him to serve the meal.
Qiu Sheng also noticed the figure approaching in the distance, his eyes softened, and only her was in his eyes.
Si Mingyue's heart beat faster as she got closer. Seeing Wang Qiusheng sitting between her parents and his gentle gaze, her cheeks couldn't help but feel slightly warm.
"Father, mother."
Si Mingyue came over, Master Si smiled and introduced to him again: "The number one scholar, Wang Qiusheng."
Si Mingyue's cheeks felt hot when she heard this, she glanced at Brother Qiusheng, nodded while pinching the handkerchief, and softly called, "Young Master Wang."
