Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, and asked directly who I was and where I was. Shen Tingsi was also stunned for a moment when he was addressed as Jiang's father, and then he bowed and said, "Sorry for bothering me, I hope Master Jiang will not blame me."
"What are you talking about? You saved me on the boat yesterday, and I was thinking of inviting you to my house to express my gratitude. What's the point of bothering me? Even if you don't come today, I will ask my daughter to invite you to my house another day!"
"Come on, since little brother is here today, I'll host a party to thank him for saving my life yesterday!"
Father Jiang walked forward with enthusiasm. He was not shy at all towards Shen Tingsi, whom he had only met once. He simply hooked his arm around his shoulder and led him towards the main hall. He became good friends with the two brothers after just the second meeting.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Qingzhu's pupils were directly shaken! No, no, no, no, Master, that's His Majesty, the emperor of the current dynasty! Let go! Master, please let go of your hand! ! Qingzhu shouted wildly in his heart, but Father Jiang was destined not to hear him. Now Father Jiang had already put his arm around Shen Tingsi's shoulders and led him into the main hall.
Seeing Jiang's father being so close to the emperor was enough to make Qingzhu drop his jaw. Afraid that Jiang's father, who was so hospitable, would do something unexpected again, Qingzhu took a deep breath and quickly followed him into the main hall.
"Mr. Shen is here."
The moment Shen Tingsi and Jiang's father came in, Jiang's mother also stood up from her seat and looked at him with a smile.
Shen Tingsi nodded slightly at her: "Aunt."
Shen Tingsi addressed Jiang's father and mother as uncle and aunt just like an ordinary person, without any imperial airs.
Looking at the gentle and elegant Shen Tingsi, Jiang's mother's smile deepened. She made a gesture of invitation and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen, please take a seat. Don't be restrained in front of me and your uncle."
"That's right, there are no outsiders here, just come here and make it like you're at home!"
Father Jiang agreed with a smile, and followed Shen Tingsi to the main seat: "Come, little brother, sit down and taste the tea I just brewed!"
Shen Tingsi nodded slightly and sat down with Jiang's father. Jiang's father immediately picked up the teapot and filled the teacup in front of Shen Tingsi.
"Try this Junshan Silver Needle tea to see if it suits your taste. If not, I have other teas here."
Under the expectant gaze of Jiang's father, Shen Tingsi picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.
"Uncle's skill in making tea is truly unique."
"Hahaha, thank you, thank you! Since you like this tea, take a jar with you when you leave later. It's all new tea picked this year!"
As the saying goes, tea makes friends. Seeing that Shen Tingsi had similar tastes to himself, Father Jiang became even more enthusiastic towards him.
Seeing the two of them chatting happily, Jiang's mother smiled and said, "You two can chat first. I'll go and tell the kitchen to prepare the meal. Li'er is such a fool. She didn't even bother to say hello in advance."
Shen Tingsi evaded the question by saying, "Aunt, don't bother me. Li'er and I had already eaten when we came here just now."
When Jiang's mother heard Shen Tingsi address Jiang Li, she was startled, then she said with a smile: "No trouble, no trouble. Since you have already eaten lunch, let's eat here in the evening. I will let you taste my aunt's cooking skills in the evening!"
After saying this, Jiang's mother turned around excitedly and walked out of the main hall. Qingzhu looked at Shen Tingsi and Jiang's father who were sitting in the main seats, hesitated for a moment, then raised her foot and chased after them.
"Madam, Madam, wait for your servant!"
It was not until Qingzhu left the main hall that he felt alive again and breathed in deep gulps of fresh air.
Mother Jiang turned her head to look at Qingzhu and said helplessly, "Slow down, slow down, kid, you are so grown up but still as irritable as a child."
Qingzhu ran to Jiang's mother and stopped: "Madam, I will go to the kitchen with you!"
At this time, Jiang's mother asked, "By the way, where is Li'er? Why can't I see Li'er?"
"The young lady is drunk. Master Shen sent her back. She is sleeping in her room now."
Jiang's mother's mouth twitched, and the scene of her daughter getting drunk appeared in her mind.
"Let her sleep for a while, and bring her a bowl of sobering soup in two hours."
"Yes, ma'am."
Mother Jiang walked briskly towards the kitchen, obviously in a good mood. Qingzhu followed beside her, wanting to remind her of Shen Tingsi's identity, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know how to start.
Forget it, forget it. Let’s wait for the young lady to tell the master and the mistress about this in person.
It was two hours later when Jiang Li woke up.
Qingzhu followed Jiang's mother's instructions and brought her a bowl of sobering soup. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Jiang Li sitting up from the bed.
Qingzhu was delighted: "Miss, you are awake!"
Jiang Li knocked her dizzy head and said, "What time is it? Why did I fall asleep?"
"It's already 3 p.m. The young lady got drunk just now, and it was Master Shen who sent her back."
After hearing Shen Tingsi, Jiang Li suddenly woke up: "Where is he now?"
"I am playing chess with my master in the garden pavilion."
After learning that Shen Tingsi could play chess, Jiang's father immediately took him to the pavilion in the back garden and asked him to play a few games with him.
After hearing that Father Jiang took Shen Tingsi to the back garden, Jiang Li stood up from the bed: "Qingzhu, change your clothes!"
When Jiang Li changed back into women's clothes and came to the back garden, Jiang's father was laughing.
"My dear little brother, your chess skills are not as good as mine. Come often and I will teach you!"
Jiang Li: “…”
Dad, when it comes to chess skills, no one in the world can compare to the Emperor of Chu...
Also, what happened to the little brother? She just took a nap, and when she woke up, her father was on good terms with the Emperor of Chu?!
"Dad, Master Shen."
Jiang Li called out after arriving at the back garden.
"My daughter is awake, come and see if the games of chess that Daddy played today are good or not!"
Under the gaze of the two, Jiang Li came to the pavilion and smiled bitterly: "Wonderful, absolutely wonderful!"
Jiang Li could tell at a glance that Shen Tingsi deliberately lost to her father, but her father was in a good mood at the moment, so she didn't say anything.
Father Jiang stroked his beard and laughed, and said to Shen Tingsi with pride: "Little brother, you don't know that my daughter's chess skills are better than mine!"
Shen Tingsi raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Li'er is so amazing?"
Father Jiang, a rough man, still hasn't noticed the change in Shen Tingsi's expression when he saw Jiang Li, and nodded happily.
"If you play chess with my daughter..." Father Jiang shook his index finger: "No way, there is no chance of winning!"
"In that case, I would like to play a game of chess with Li'er to see her chess skills."
Father Jiang was stunned: "Are you sure?"
Shen Tingsi nodded: "Of course."
The next moment, Jiang's father stood up from his seat and moved to the seat next to him: "Daughter, come on!"
Since someone wanted to be tortured by his daughter, there was no reason for him to stop them! Under the strong recommendation of Jiang's father, Jiang Li gritted her teeth and sat opposite Shen Tingsi.
Dad, you have caused me so much trouble!
Shen Tingsi took in Jiang Li's expression and curled his lips: "It's really boring to just decide who wins and who loses. How about we compete for a prize?"
Hey, hey, what's the good idea?
