After three days, the college entrance examination is finally over!
The candidates who walked out of the examination room hugged each other and cheered happily. The three years of stressful high school life were finally over, and everyone felt a sense of excitement of escaping from the sea of suffering.
Even Wen Xinya was infected, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.
When I walked out of the school gate, I saw the parents who accompanied their children to take the exam. They were eager to see their children do well in the exam. Some parents were very proud of their children's good performance, but they taught their children not to be proud. Some parents were depressed because their children did not do well in the exam, but they still comforted their children.
"Miss, here!" Because there were too many people at the entrance of the examination room, the driver Xiao Tao's car couldn't drive in at all.
When Wen Xinya saw the driver Xiao Tao coming to pick her up, she hurried over and got in the car.
Xiao Tao said, "The old man has reserved a table at the Han Palace and invited Mr. Mo. He asked me to come and pick you up to have dinner together."
Wen Xinya was surprised. She didn't expect her grandfather to make such a big fuss and even invite her grandfather-in-law. Since her mother passed away, her grandfather and grandfather-in-law haven't eaten at the same table for at least eighteen years!
The car soon arrived at the "Han Palace".
"Han Palace" is the capital's top food place, where the top food of Country Z is gathered, focusing on the ancient royal court meals of Country Z, such as the Manchu and Han Banquet and the Moon over the Twenty-Four Bridges. If the Nine Heavens is a symbol of status, then "Han Palace" is synonymous with dignity and luxury.
Wen Xinya got out of the car and stood at the gate of the "Han Palace".
On the imposing facade hang the words "Han Palace" written in the style of a large Han Dynasty rafter. At the door stand two stone pillars with auspicious carvings of dragons and phoenixes, giving it an ancient and majestic decoration style.
Wen Xinya walked into the "Han Palace" and a waiter dressed in pink Hanfu palace costume came up to her gracefully: "Hello, do you want to make a reservation or do you have an appointment?"
Yes, there is only one way to eat at "Han Palace", and that is to make a reservation. You cannot eat here without a reservation.
Wen Xinya said calmly, "We have an appointment. Mr. Wen has booked room number eight."
The waiter stepped back, bent over 90 degrees, and extended his right hand, making a gesture of invitation: "Miss Wen, please follow me."
The decoration style of the "Han Palace" is not like the real Han Palace in history, which is heavy and majestic. It is full of luxury and splendor. The waitress took a warm and elegant approach and finally stopped in front of a private room: "Miss Wen, we are here!"
Wen Xinya nodded to express her gratitude to the waitress, then pushed open the carved lattice door and walked in.
In the private room, grandpa and grandfather sat in the main seats. Wen Haowen sat next to grandfather, acting like a grandson. Grandma was not there, probably because grandpa was there and was afraid that grandma would be out of tune and do something weird. As for the people around grandpa...
Wen Xinya suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Si Yiyan in disbelief.
This was obviously a family dinner for Grandpa, why did Si Yiyan come to join in the fun? What was even more surprising was... Grandpa actually agreed to let Si Yiyan come along? Wen Xinya wondered if she had walked into the wrong private room.
Grandpa sat aside with an indifferent expression. Si Yiyan and Grandpa Yiyan were very happy. When he saw her, he raised his eyebrows at her with a smile in his eyes.
Grandpa waved at her and said, "Xinya, what are you doing standing at the door like an idiot? Come and sit down."
"Oh, okay!" Wen Xinya finally reacted and quickly walked over to sit next to Wen Haowen. Si Yiyan was sitting on her right.
Mr. Mo, who had originally had an indifferent expression, softened his expression: "Xinya, the exam is over!"
Wen Xinya smiled happily and said, "Yeah! I have finished all the exams. I am just waiting for the results to be announced on the 24th."
Wen Haowen quickly asked, "How did you do in the exam? Were the questions in this college entrance examination difficult?"
Wen Xinya knew that Wen Haowen was anxious to play the role of a loving father in front of his grandfather and grandfather, so she smiled and said, "I think the questions are okay, not too difficult. I have finished the questions in every subject, so I should have done well in the exam!"
Her answer was quite conservative!
Old Master Wen laughed: "Good, good, good! Xinya, you have worked hard. The college entrance examination is finally over. You are finally out of the sea of suffering. Now it's time to enjoy your summer vacation."
Wen Xinya laughed and said, "I feel like I've escaped from the sea of suffering! The three years in high school were a living hell, I was either reviewing or taking extra classes. Now I'm finally free, and I feel like all the pressure on me has been relieved."
At this time, Mr. Mo said, "Well! Because of the college entrance examination, the progress of music, chess, calligraphy and painting fell behind. I have to make up for it during the summer vacation."
When Mr. Mo said this, everyone couldn't help but look at Wen Xinya with laughter. Wen Xinya pouted and looked at her grandfather with resentment: "Grandpa... No way! I have mastered three of the four arts, including music, chess, calligraphy and painting. As for painting... I am very talented. Do you think... I can do it if I work so hard... I am also looking forward to traveling during the summer vacation."
There was a smile on Mo Gong's indifferent face. He planned to give Xinya courses on political history, and also teach her some tactics and strategies, but there was no rush.
Only then did Wen Xinya realize that her grandfather was just teasing her.
Wen Xinya was interacting with the elders with ease, but Si Yi considerately poured her tea and put a few of her favorite snacks on the plate in front of her.
Wen Xinya winked at him quietly.
Si Yiyan looked at her with a smile, and sat in a chair listening to them talking. His expression was indifferent and his bearing was hidden deep, his temperament was elegant and his edge was restrained. He sat there quietly, emitting an aura of cutting bones and polishing stones, and polishing jade and horns. Even Grandpa Wen, who had never seen him before, looked at him frequently.
This young man is not simple!
He has been in the business world for most of his life and has never seen such a person!
However, none of the students taught by Mr. Mo are simple.
Then, his eyes fell on the tea in front of Xinya. Seeing how he took care of Xinya, she knew that they had a good relationship.
The dishes came up one after another, and it turned out to be the world-famous Manchu-Han banquet. Wen Xinya's eyes almost fell out. She had never eaten it in her last life, this life, and the next life combined
Old Master Wen laughed and said, "This meal is Grandpa's reward for you. Since there are only a few of us, I only ordered 38 dishes. After your college entrance examination results are announced, Grandpa will book the entire "Han Palace" for a banquet for the guests, and book ten tables for a full Han banquet."
The guests for the college entrance examination banquet will be those with whom one has good relationships. It is unlike the network of relationships in the business world.
A table of Manchu-Han banquet costs more than 500,000 yuan, and ten tables cost more than 5 million yuan, not to mention cigarettes, alcohol, tea and other things. Compared with the dishes, these are the real big expenses. This is not food, but money!
Wen Haowen smiled and said, "Dad, Xinya just finished her exam, she must be hungry, let's eat first!"
It was just a banquet for the college entrance examination, but it was so lavish. The old man was indeed very arrogant, warm and elegant. A sinister flashed across his eyes, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Mr. Mo sitting opposite him. His eyes suddenly narrowed, and he quickly restrained his thoughts.
Mr. Wen said, "Yes, yes, eat, eat. Look at me... I was so happy that I forgot." Then he picked up a piece of food for Wen Xinya with chopsticks and said, "Xinya, eat more."
Wen Xinya quickly said, "Thank you, Grandpa!" and then picked up some food for Grandpa.
After picking up food for your grandpa, Wen Xinya picked up food for her grandpa: "Grandpa, you eat too!"
Since both grandpa and grandpa picked up some food, Wen Haowen was naturally not left out. Since even Wen Haowen picked up some food, how could Si Yiyan be left out!
