Chapter 170 Su Jin's Guests
Chapter 170 Su Jin's Guests
Any guests?
Su Bingzhi and his grandchildren all looked at Su Jin.
Su Xilin said: "If it is a female relative, we will avoid it."
Su Jin is the mistress in the back house, and she must be in contact with women. It is not a good place for them to be here.
But before he finished speaking, a hearty laugh rang out from outside: "Hahaha, no need to avoid us, we are all family, just treat it as a family dinner, let's eat together."
Everyone stood up quickly. It turned out that the guest was none other than Mr. Zhuzhi.
"So it's you, sir. You're really one of us!"
Su Xilin was very respectful to Mr. Zhuzhi. After all, he was a qualified imperial tutor, and the emperor also attached great importance to Mr. Zhuzhi. Their family could not compare with the royal family, so naturally they had to be more respectful.
Mr. Zhuzhi sat down with a smile, and Yuchuan quickly added bowls and chopsticks. However, just as they sat down, another maid outside said, "Miss, Brother Xuan, Brother Lu, and Miss Sui Yu are here, along with Miss Ning and the young master of the Yin family."
Well, there are guests again, and a group of them, including our own family, outsiders, men and women.
Everyone looked at Su Bingzhi, wanting to ask how to sit at this table. Su Bingzhi said, "We are all here for the Sixth Miss, so let's use a screen to block the way and divide it into two tables. We old guys will sit at one table, and the young people will sit at another table."
They are all close friends and can get together privately.
After Su Bingzhi finished speaking, they started to serve the tables. Su Jin was still thinking that there was not enough food, so he was about to ask someone to go to the restaurant to order some more when the children came in.
When you enter the door, you first bow, and then each person brings a dish.
"We brought our own food, so we don't have to worry about it!"
As he was talking, he opened the food box and found chicken, duck, fish, meat, and everything flying in the sky and swimming in the water. They really made a table full of them.
Su Jin smiled and arranged for everyone to sit down. She sat at the same table with the children.
Su Heng listened to the laughter and joking behind the screen and couldn't help but envy and said, "Isn't this quite lively?"
Su Xilin also asked: "Who said it was deserted just now?"
Su Heng picked up the wine glass helplessly: "I will punish myself with three cups, but there shouldn't be anyone else coming, right?"
Everyone was eating and drinking with laughter. Just as Su Heng finished speaking, someone outside reported, "Miss, another guest is here?"
Su Heng was shocked: "Jin'er, do you have so many friends? Come, I want to see who is coming this time."
As soon as he stood up, the maid outside called out, "It's this year's number one scholar, thank you Sir!"
The words "Thank you, sir" caused everyone to stand up again. Except for Su Bingzhi who was still sitting as steady as a rock, even Mr. Zhuzhi stood up to see him.
This year's top scholar must be the talented person the emperor dreamed of, right?
Mr. Zhuzhi had also read the first-class articles. Xie Huaiguang's article was undoubtedly the first. However, as a member of the Hexi Su family, Mr. Zhuzhi still secretly compared Xie Huaiguang's article with Gu Zilu's article. In the end, he was surprised to find that the two had equal literary talent.
Well, very good. It seems that getting six yuan in the imperial examination is not a problem.
Mr. Zhuzhi is in a good mood.
Just as he was thinking about it, a young man walked in steadily. After becoming an official, Xie Huaiguang gave people a feeling of being more stable and mature, and looked like an adult older than Gu Zixuan.
Su Jin looked over and saw a young man in snow-white clothes who seemed to be covered in ice and snow. Xie Huaiguang was standing just inside the door, wearing white clothes, with black eyes and lips as red as blood. In the light, he looked so gorgeous that he was almost enchanting.
"I heard that the new house was moved today, so the students came here to celebrate the happy occasion."
As he said this, he presented a gift.
Su Xilin and others also returned the greeting. After greeting everyone one by one, Xie Huaiguang sat down next to Gu Zixuan.
Xie Huaiguang was obviously in a good mood. He was a handsome young man, and at this moment he had a smile on his lips and a faint red at the corners of his eyes. He did not look as serious and dignified as usual, but rather had a bit of the unrestrained and frivolous look of a celebrity.
The maids and servants around could not help but look over, and some even stood on tiptoe to look from the window. Everyone wanted to see what this great talent, who was famous throughout the capital, looked like.
"Thank you, sir. Once...thank you very much."
Gu Sui Yu bowed his head and thanked him. His voice was not loud, but Yin Zhengnan still heard it. Yin Zhengnan's heart tightened and he subconsciously leaned towards Gu Sui Yu, his eyes moving between the two of them like searchlights.
These two people know each other? And they thank each other? No, something must have happened!!!
Yin Zhengnan was so jealous that he was boiling with jealousy.
Ning Ruolan sneered at the side, her eyes constantly glancing between Gu Suiyu and Yin Zhengnan. Gu Suiyu had no choice but to pick up some meat to block her mouth.
While eating and drinking, Xie Huaiguang stood up, raised his glass, and his eyes fell on Su Jin as if inadvertently, saying: "I haven't toasted Miss Su Liu yet, congratulations on your new home."
The call of "Miss Su Liu" attracted the attention of people sitting in the seats.
Everyone was Gu Zixuan's friend, so they naturally addressed each other according to Gu Zixuan's seniority. Yin Zhengnan called her aunt, but when it came to Xie Huaiguang, he actually called her Miss Su Liu?
Gu Sui Yu looked up at Xie Huai Guang. She wondered if it was a bit wrong to call him that, but then she changed her mind and realized that Xie Huai Guang was her mother's friend in the beginning. Although there was a big age difference between them, if they were friends regardless of age, they could still be considered peers, right?
Gu Suiyu pondered and turned to look at his elder and younger brothers. One was drinking calmly, and the other was eating food with his head down. They didn't seem to have any reaction. So, was he overreacting? ?
Uh... forget it, it doesn’t matter what they shout. After all, these are all my mother’s friends.
Gu Sui Yu continued to eat, but didn't notice that Gu Zilu narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Thank you very much."
Su Jin stood up with a smile and drank the glass of wine.
"But, shouldn't you also call me auntie like them?"
Su Jin smiled, but his eyes were very calm. At this moment, the seats suddenly became quiet and everyone looked at Xie Huaiguang.
The handsome young man looked calm. He put down his wine glass, and his slender fingertips brushed across the fine pearwood table. He said calmly, "I, Xie Huaiguang, don't have many friends, and Miss Su Liu is one of them. So, Miss Liu, do you have to determine the relationship between us according to seniority?"
Ah this...
Su Jin scratched his chin in embarrassment.
He treats me as a friend, but I only treat him as a junior.
"Then let's be friends."
Su Jin smiled and didn't care what he did, as long as this thick golden thigh was still on his side.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Huaiguang's face was indeed filled with a smile, and that smile of satisfaction could not be concealed in any way, making people feel the warmth coming towards them at just one glance.
Gu Zilu bit the chicken bone, making a crunching sound.
Why didn’t I notice it before?
It's definitely a weasel paying New Year's greetings to the chicken, it has no good intentions!
However, further observation is needed. Xie Huaiguang is not a very prominent person, and I have only sensed a slight hint of his potential, so it remains to be confirmed.
While thinking, I looked up inadvertently and saw my mother staring at two people with a smile. One was Ning Ruolan and the other was Xie Huaiguang. It was as if she was eating dog food, and she looked very satisfied.
Gu Zilu: ...
