Chapter 171: Self-contained Halo
Chapter 171: Self-contained Halo
Mother, have you always thought that these two people are a couple?
Oh, this is a bit troublesome. Okay, I'll help my mother observe it carefully.
These two people are best as a couple.
Everyone had their own thoughts while eating this meal. The room gradually became lively. The young people took turns to toast the elders, while the girls stayed at their seats and ate and drank by themselves. Su Heng was a little drunk and couldn't help but said with a big tongue: "There won't be any more guests coming now, right?"
Everything that should and shouldn’t have come has come. There should be nothing else to do, right?
However, Su Heng's mouth seemed to be blessed. As soon as he finished speaking, someone outside said, "Miss, there are guests again."
"besides?!"
Su Heng's interest was fully aroused. He stood up and walked out, saying excitedly: "I must see who is coming this time!"
Wow, three people on this year’s imperial examination list are here at once. The first and third are here, and Yin Zhengnan’s status is even more precious. In the end, there’s still someone coming?
But before Su Heng even stepped out of the door, Mother Su said softly, "Prince Rui is here."
Su Heng: ...
All of a sudden I felt that what I should do was not take a step forward, but kneel down.
"No, Jin'er, don't you have too many friends?"
In addition to the number one scholar, Prince Rui also came? !
As soon as he finished speaking, two figures came into the yard. Zhao Jingyu was in casual clothes. The fine satin gave off a faint luster under the light. The man's eyebrows and facial features seemed to be carved out of ice and snow. His eyebrows were cold and stern, and he looked noble, which made him even more dazzling.
Zhuifeng followed him with a gift box in his hand, and handed the gift to Mother Su as soon as he entered the door.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Since Prince Rui has come, everyone has to kneel down, and Su Bingzhi is no exception.
The old man was in good health and didn't need anyone's support. He was about to kneel down. Zhao Jingyu quickly took two steps forward and helped him up.
"Even if my brother were here, he wouldn't let Elder Su kneel down. Elder Su, please stand up quickly."
Su Bingzhi accepted it calmly. After all, he could afford it.
The room seemed crowded for a moment. Zhao Jingyu looked around and finally his eyes fell on Su Jin who was standing next to Su Bingzhi. The corners of his thin lips finally curled up slightly.
"Miss Su Liu, congratulations on your new home."
It was a bit awkward for Xie Huai to call Su Liu-Miss, but it was not the case when Prince Rui called her that. Everyone felt it was just right, and even though there was an age difference of a few years, no one thought it was a big deal.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
When there are outsiders around, one naturally has to be tactful. Su Jin bowed her head and saluted. Every move she made was elegant and dignified, and Zhao Jingyu's face showed even more appreciation.
Next to him, Su Bingzhi pinched his beard and took in Prince Rui's expression. Then he thought about it and realized that Su Jin's housewarming today could have alarmed Prince Rui. The reason behind this was a bit intriguing.
"Everyone, please don't be so polite. Please take a seat."
Although the prince said so, this seat cannot be sat like this.
These people can do whatever they want, but Prince Rui is very noble.
Su Bingzhi looked at Su Jin, and Su Jin nodded and said, "You can go to the flower hall next door."
"Well, Mother Su will take someone to sort it out..."
Su Bingzhi was just about to say "serve tea first" when Jin Chuan had already brought the tea. Looking at these clever maids, Su Bingzhi nodded frequently.
The flower hall still needed to be decorated, so everyone invited Prince Rui to sit in the upper seat, accompanied by Su Bingzhi, and Su Jin sat at the lower seat, after all, she was the head of the family.
"I didn't expect to alarm the prince."
Su Bingzhi smiled and asked calmly. Zhao Jingyu looked relaxed and happy, with bright eyes and a noble look.
"Old Su, please don't mention the prince or not. Miss Su Liu and I are friends. I was a little anxious about the soap issue. If it wasn't for Miss Su Liu's idea, the court wouldn't have put it on the agenda so quickly. Miss Su Liu has made great contributions to the country. Even my brother is talking about her and insisted that I come to congratulate her."
What he meant was that the emperor asked him to come, and that was all.
However, Su Bingzhi firmly did not believe it. A dog could become a spirit after living for so long, let alone a human.
But the other party didn't say it explicitly, so Su Bingzhi didn't know what to say and could only chat casually.
Soon, the flower hall was cleaned up and all the men moved over, leaving the girls here.
Su Heng breathed a sigh of relief and thought, Prince Rui is here, so there won't be any more guests coming this time, right?
Of course, don't get slapped in the face too quickly.
Before Prince Rui could even sit down, someone else arrived.
However, these people were not Su Jin's friends, but came for Su Bingzhi. Among them was the prime minister of the time, Dou Qin.
If Su Bingzhi was still in the Marquis' Mansion, Dou Qin would never come to the door. At most, he would send a visiting card and find a restaurant to welcome Su Bingzhi. But now Su Jin is divorced and has no relationship with the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion anymore. Su Jin is also a woman and has nothing to do with the court, so Dou Qin brought people to the door.
Soon, the flower hall became lively. The number of tables increased from a single one at the beginning to three in the end. Dou Qin, Prince Rui and Su Bing sat at one table, and the rest of the people were seated according to their official rank.
Gu Zixuan and Xie Huaiguang were both officials, so they naturally accompanied him. Halfway through the meal, Dou Qin called Gu Zilu over. After three rounds of drinks, the servants were driven out by Su Bingzhi and the door was closed. No one knew what was said inside.
Su Jin was still thinking that since he was the boss, he couldn't go to bed too early, so he wanted to hold on a little longer. However, not long after, Xie Huaiguang pushed the door open and walked out. He glanced over here and met Su Jin's gaze.
The young man smiled warmly and came towards him slowly.
"Mr. Su wanted Sixth Miss to go and rest first, and he asked me to let him know."
Let Xie Huaiguang come?
Su Jin felt that his brain was not enough again.
Gu Zixuan and Gu Zilu were both in the room, why did they have to let a top scholar run errands?
"Zixuan and Zilu were being questioned by Prime Minister Dou, so they can't leave for now."
Oh, that's it.
Su Jin felt relieved after feeling worried.
"I underestimated the Sixth Miss. Not only did she get a complete divorce, but she also maintained her relationship with the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion. This is perfect, very good."
Anyone would be happy to be praised by the top scholar.
Moreover, Xie Huaiguang's voice was very gentle and he was handsome. The moonlight was bright outside. It was such a beautiful day and Su Jin was even happier to be praised by a handsome and smart boy.
"Xie Erlang, you are joking. It's getting late. Please do as you please."
"Well, I'm tired after a day, so I'll go to bed early."
The young man's words were soft and gentle, and one could get drunk just by listening to his voice. Su Jin greeted him and turned back to the hall.
There were only her, Gu Suiyu and Ning Ruolan here. Seeing Su Jin coming back, Ning Ruolan asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's okay. It's getting late. The girls shouldn't stay out too late. Ruolan, let Xie Er take you home later."
Ning Ruolan:? ?
"Why did you ask Xie Er to send me off?"
Ning Ruolan was full of questions, but Su Jin didn't know how to explain.
I can't hold Ning Ruolan's head and tell her that you are the heroine of this book, and Xie Huaiguang is the hero of this book. You two are born to be a pair, with your own halo, and you will be inseparable even in death...
