Chapter 4 Surprise! He is not...
Qin Yue was still talking to the system, not knowing that all their conversations had been heard by everyone.
System: [Don't worry, you can only see it when you get close.]
Qin Yue: [That makes sense!]
System: [Look! Look, that's the tall and thin boy standing next to your grandfather.]
Qin Yue looked up and saw that the boy was tall and slender, wearing a green robe, a jade pendant with tassels hanging around his waist, a long robe with wide sleeves, a straight back, and a scholar's character.
Qin Yue turned around and looked at her burly grandfather and father next to her. She couldn't help but exclaimed when she compared the two.
【Tsk tsk tsk, so he is Qin Zhao, worthy of being a scholar, he has the temperament of a scholar. That's right, he looks so different from my grandfather! It's obvious that he is not a biological son, has no one doubted it for so many years?】
The three members of the Qin family except Old Madam Qin: !!! !!!
Qin Zhao: !!! !!!
And Old Madam Qin seemed to have known something for a long time, without any surprise on her face.
Everyone: Surprise! Qin Zhao? Isn't he the son of Old Master Qin? What's going on?
How can this daughter of the Qin family speak without moving her mouth, and she just turned one month old! Whose is the other voice? That old sister...son?
Everyone was waiting for the next words unconsciously, their eyes intentionally or unintentionally glancing at Master Qin and Qin Zhao, even the maids and servants slowed down their service.
Facing the gazes of everyone, even though Master Qin was a business genius, he was also embarrassed at this moment. Although he still didn't understand the situation, he still maintained a calm appearance on the surface, while Qin Zhao's eyes were deep, and he lowered his head and said nothing.
System: [There is nothing we can do about it. Who can stop the Qin family from being so honest? They believe whatever others say. Although Master Qin is a good businessman, he is really easy to trust others, especially those he knows.]
Master Qin: ...
Everyone: This is really unexpected!
Seeing that everyone was listening with an expression of "I want to listen, I want to listen", Master Qin coughed heavily, trying to divert everyone's attention.
"Everyone, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend my 40th birthday and the full-moon banquet of my granddaughter Qin Yue."
"We have prepared a little wine and simple meals. If we are not hospitable enough, I hope you will forgive me. I will toast you first. Please!"
Everyone was speechless for a moment as they looked at the exquisite and rare delicacies on the table.
This level of luxury is probably better than that of the kitchen. If this is considered simple meals, what is what we eat on weekdays? Pig food?
How can Mr. Qin be humble? He is clearly showing off!
After Mr. Qin finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass at hand and gestured to everyone at the table.
"Mr. Qin, you are so polite. Please come in!"
"Congratulations, Mr. Qin. Please come in!"
...
Everyone raised their glasses in response.
After a glass of wine, everyone returned to the banquet and began to clink glasses. However, it was not difficult to find that everyone intentionally or unintentionally lowered their voices, fearing that they would miss a single word.
At this time, a middle-aged man, wearing a scarlet official uniform, walked up to Mr. Qin, glanced at Qin Zhao casually, and said meaningfully.
"Master Qin, this must be the second young master, right? I've heard before that he's quite talented in studying, and he's consistently ranked among the top three in the Imperial College's Class A. This is unlike you."
"After all, the Qin family has been a martial arts family, and only turned to business in the past hundred years. However, most of the Qin family's children are martial arts geniuses, like you and the eldest young master." "Moreover
, the Qin family has been a single-line family for two hundred years, but I didn't expect that your generation would be an exception."
Qin Yue was surprised: [This lord has a really sharp eye. He can smell something unusual just from his expertise. Tsk tsk tsk...]
The system explained: [He is Minister Lin, who is in charge of the Dali Temple. Lin Gengzhi, born in a poor family, was the new top scholar in the 29th year of Jinkang. He is good at extracting information from the smallest details. 】
【However, although he is very smart, he is a straightforward person and often speaks without considering the occasion. This is very consistent with his name. 】
【I probably didn't pay attention to it in the past. After all, the Qin family is far away from the court, and it is difficult to have any intersection except for this grand banquet. 】
Qin Yue: 【I am very curious, did he say this in public to remind my grandfather? Or did he want to be a public judge? 】
Everyone: You don't need him to remind you, you have already revealed the news...
Minister Lin: I don't have the idea of being a public judge, don't put a hat on me!
The system said faintly: 【Is there a possibility that Minister Lin wants to use this incident to remind your grandfather, so as to achieve the purpose of making friends with your grandfather. 】
【Because of his straightforwardness and lack of tact, he has been very short of friends in recent years...】
The sentence "He is really short of friends" hit everyone's laughter points hard, and everyone had to lower their heads and try hard to suppress the corners of their mouths to prevent themselves from laughing out loud.
Qin Yue: 【Emm, this is hard to comment, but I really want to laugh...】
So, Qin Yue's childish laughter seemed to have its own stereo sound effects, surrounding everyone's ears.
Minister Lin, whose ears were already red, said: I just couldn't help but say something mean...
Grandpa Qin patted Qin Zhao's shoulder soothingly, turned to look at Minister Lin, and said lightly: "Zhao'er is indeed very talented in studying, and it is Zhao'er's own ability that he can enter the Imperial College."
"Now that Sister Yue has been born, the day when the Qin family returns to the court is not far away. By then, if Zhao'er works hard, he can still be a colleague of Minister Lin. I hope Minister Lin will take care of him more."
After speaking, Grandpa Qin bowed slightly to Minister Lin.
"Of course, of course." Minister Lin bowed back, his face flushed, and turned back to sit.
[It seems that Grandfather still loves Qin Zhao very much. Look at how Minister Lin was scolded, his face flushed. This time, Minister Lin’s idea of making friends with grandfather probably failed again...】
Everyone: Minister Lin didn’t blush because of the retort, he was embarrassed by you and my sister!
Minister Lin: It’s really hard to make friends, wuwu┭┮﹏┭┮...
【My sister, go on and tell me in detail, you haven’t told me yet, how did Aunt Liu almost make grandfather a fool? It’s not good to keep people in suspense!】Qin Yue urged.
Everyone except the Qin family nodded silently in their hearts to show their agreement.
Master Qin and the other two: ...Should we end the banquet early? But we really can't find a good reason (waiting online, very anxious...)
Madam Qin looked at Qin Zhao meaningfully, and then continued to sit upright, waiting for the next step.
Qin Zhao glanced at the shoulder that Master Qin had patted, and was a little stunned. Then he looked at Qin Yue with a complicated expression, frowned and thought for a while, and when he raised his eyes again, his expression relaxed a little. He waved and whispered to his personal servant Xiao Liuzi, who nodded and left.
After the system sorted out the course of events, it began to say: [Madam Liu, whose real name is Liu Ruyan, her father joined the army when she was one year old. Two years later, he retired and returned home because his right arm was broken on the battlefield. 】
【Although Liu's father had his right arm broken, he was a determined man. He practiced swinging a knife with his left hand every day. In the end, he was able to enter the escort agency with his kung fu skills and was responsible for protecting the caravans. 】
【When Liu's mother died of overwork when she was six years old, she and her father had been dependent on each other since then. She was responsible for managing the household and tending the fields, and her father was responsible for going out to make money. 】
【At that time, although she was young, she was very sensible and hardworking. In addition to her own work, she often helped the villagers with work. She was a good girl praised by people in the surrounding area. 】
Qin Yue couldn't help but wonder: 【It sounds like Aunt Liu is still an honest person. How did she get involved with my grandfather later? 】
System: [This matter had nothing to do with your grandfather at first, but...]
