In the hustle and bustle of human voices, the fire light will light up the Su Mansion after nightfall.
Today's banquet has just started. It extends from a side hall on the side of Su Mansion. There are twenty-six tables, round and square. The number of people is in the early 200s. That's it. Other seasons are a little less, and as the New Year is approaching, banquets here will become more frequent.
The third room of the main family of the Su family, many cousins, some elders who work for the Su family, and some shopkeepers who have gathered from various places this time have all been seated. The round table in the center is naturally Su Taigong, Song Mao, and several elderly people of the same generation as Su Taigong, plus Su Boyong and Su Zhongkan, the main family, the layout of the surrounding tables is basically exquisite. Only those who have contributed can sit in. For example, Su Chonghua, the head of the Yushan Academy, Su Yunsong, the big shopkeeper who manages the business of one place, and some other shopkeepers, even if they are directly related to the third room, must be really in charge. Only people with such status can sit nearby. If Xi Junyu If you are invited, you will probably be able to sit here.
As for Su Tan'er, although she is now in charge of many things in the big room, after all, she is a woman, and she has not yet had her name corrected, so she sits a table farther away from Ning Yi. There was not much dialogue between the two, but it seemed that their expressions were normal. Of course, it was difficult to say what was on their minds.
From this table onwards, the rules of everyone's seating became much looser, at a square table a little later. Su Wenxing and Su Wengui were gathered together, occasionally looking over here with a guileless mind.
At this time, Su Tan'er and Ning Yi were afraid that they would never have imagined that in such an ordinary banquet, there would be a few people who were always watching them both up and down, and until the end, their emotions could not be resolved in the slightest. .
"Song Zhizhou and the others will definitely come over later, and then they will praise that Ning Yi. Once Song Zhizhou speaks, everyone will pay attention immediately, the good show is about to begin."
For this matter, Su Wengui believes that he has seen it clearly, especially in the first few paragraphs of discussion there, Song Mao mentioned Ning Yi once, and pointed out that after he taught well, this idea became more certain. . About a quarter of an hour after the banquet started, the tables started to move, and another quarter of an hour later, Song Mao just picked up the wine glass and Su Zhongkan walked around a little.
As Song Mao's prefect status, it doesn't matter if he sits still in the chairman's seat, but he has always covered everything. When he walks around, he doesn't hold the pretense that he knows prefecture, but puts his figure as usual. In the position of the relatives and friends of the Su family. In this way, it was already a great deal of face to finish the greetings from the surrounding tables, but then, he turned towards Su Tan'er and Ning Yi in a casual manner, and said a few words as he saw it: " There are Tan'er and Liheng in the Su family..."
"I'm going over..." Su Wenxing picked up a wine glass and leaned over. He had just approached, only to see Song Mao and Su Zhongkan turn around and leave. He was stunned for a moment, then turned around and came back.
"What's the matter… "
"I don't know, uncle just said a few words..."
"As Lord Zhizhou, I shouldn't have said much. I'm afraid Lord Zhizhou thinks that the time is not enough." Su Wengui thought for a while with a gloomy face, "Maybe it's better to wait for the second sister and Ning Yi to toast over there. Some words to do the exam."
While the flames lingered, the banquet went on noisily, with people walking around, children playing, and the wine table intertwined. There was something in their hearts, and they were not in the mood to eat, drink, and play. After a while, Su Tan'er and Ning Yi got up, and they also took He got his glass of wine, mixed with the crowd and walked towards the main table. Su Tan'er and Ning Yi came back after toasting, Su Wenxing and Su Wengui also came back in doubt, looked at Ning Yi and Song Mao, blinked their eyes, and then discussed it again. Soon after, Su Tan'er and Ning Yi returned. The couple got up again and had a conversation with Song Mao not far away, Su Wengui pushed Su Wenxing, Su Wenxing followed... and came back with a wine glass...
The banquet gradually dissipated.
If the rules are stricter, the rest of the people can leave after the old lady leaves, but the old lady likes to talk to a few old brothers here, and the atmosphere is lively. Seeing that it was almost time, he smiled and waved his hand: "If you have something to do, if you are full and drunk, you will leave and leave, hehe..."
Originally, some children had already started to doze off when they had had enough trouble, and some people threw up and lay on the table. When the old lady's words came out, the atmosphere became more free. Some people left, and some people came to this table to greet the old lady and others, and chat about some interesting things. The faces of Su Wengui and the others were so gloomy that Su Wenxing had been boasting for several days because Song Mao was coming over, but at this time, he felt that his face had fallen to the ground, and he couldn't fight it now.
"What, there's no drama at all..."
"Your uncle didn't plan to test him anything from the beginning..."
"You can't say that your uncle can help you, can you just say no? When you come out, you say that it must be at night..."
On the other side of the field of vision, Song Mao had already stood up, and seemed to be saying something with a smile: "I can't beat the drink..." He was about to leave, and Su Tan'er and Ning Yi had also gone to the old lady to say hello. When Song Mao was about to reach the door, Su Tan'er and Ning Yi also turned to leave. Su Wenxing with a dark face suddenly stood up: "Wait!"
The noisy voice was suppressed for a moment by these words, and then it started to work again. Many people noticed him, and naturally they would not think that the words were directed at him. Song Mao at the door glanced here, Su Taner and Ning Yi looked over suspiciously, then looked around, turned around and continued walking. The old lady tilted her head, looked at Su Wenxing, and blinked a few times: "Oh, Wenxing, what are you talking about over there? Is there anything?"
"I... I... um... it's okay..."
After he finished saying this, he sat down angrily.
After a while, he stood up again and chased in the direction Song Mao left.
After leaving the banquet and returning to the room, Song Mao took a sip of the sobering tea that Song Kai had prepared, and then washed his face.
He didn't drink a lot of alcohol. For him, it was just gargling. At this time, his head was still awake. He sat down at the table, took out a post and put it aside. After grinding the ink, he took out a few pieces of rice paper and placed them in place. He prepared a writing brush and put his hand in a writing posture. , with consideration in mind.
Great harvest today.
Originally, it was only a routine visit to Master Qin, and the expected harvest was not much. It seems that his way of being an official means that important people have to visit more often, and no one knows when it will play a specific role. It is always right to build a good relationship on weekdays. He didn't have any big expectations for the relationship with Qin Siyuan as a master and apprentice. This matter is nothing more than a bargaining chip. When Qin Siyuan recovers in the future, he will naturally remember himself a little bit. If he doesn't have the chance to recover, He can always have some connection with his two sons. The level of this contact is not deep, and even he himself did not expect that it would be more or less further today.
Today in the Qin Mansion, the randomness shown by Ning Liheng and the two old men really startled him. It seemed natural, and it was not a relationship between children and nephews. No wonder Master Qin said when he introduced it. He and Ming Gong's little friends. The shock in his heart was shocking, and things were not bad. After he confessed his relationship with the Su family and the other party, Master Qin's attitude towards him changed a little, and it was no longer the kind of purely ordinary disciple and teacher. The courtesy, the deepening of the relationship, he is very satisfied.
On the other hand, he also met Kang Hyun Kang Myung Yoon.
Song Mao thought about this, and first wrote a few words on the rice paper: Kang Gongming Yuncijian. Then stopped again. Going to visit Duke Ming in a few days, he was considering the wording of the post, then he made a stroke under the word "ci" in "cijian" and wrote a word next to it. Daojian, this is suitable for the use of moral integrity and scholars who value scholars.
The words were subsections, but those were the things he was thinking at the moment. As for the matter of testing whether Ning Yi was famous or not, after greeting Ning Yi at the Qin Mansion, he completely dismissed it. In all fairness, with his current status, he is not afraid of Qin Siyuan or Kang Mingyun, and as for Ning Yi, who only interacts with these two people as a commoner, he is not afraid of anything, if he really wants to do it. What, Ning Yi is just a small person to him.
But why.
Anyway, whether the second room picks up the Su family, or the little girl named Su Taner picks up the Su family, there is no difference in what she can get, so why bother. From that time on, the decisions that can be made have been clear. Whether Ning Yi is a good person or not, there is no need to expose him anyway, so of course there is no need to test anything.
As for the nephew who wanted to embarrass the other party... This is just a trivial matter. Since he decided to do it, he no longer cares about it.
After a while, Song Kai came in and reported, "Master Wenxing asks to see you." He nodded, "Let him come in." His eyes still focused on the rice paper in front of him, and he started writing the following words...
The snow wind blows, and the night under the snow scene is a bit lonely and desolate. In the distance, there is the sound of the temple bell.
The banquet in the distance has basically dissipated. Looking over from the fence on the second floor, the fire seems to have faded a lot. Ning Yi lay there and casually looked at the swaying lights and shadows of the Su family compound, the snow curtain. Among them, the lights in the rooms and the attic are very artistic.
The footsteps came from the stairs. He didn't need to look, he knew who it was. The footsteps were not the same as Xiaochan who fell in love with him and pulled him down. Xiaochan's footsteps were much more lively, and the footsteps were elegant and quiet— Perhaps it would be more appropriate to say calm and quiet.
He tilted his head, and the silver-white figure was coming from the other side of the field of vision. He only saw the corner of the fox fur, because there was a pillar beside him, the figure stopped when he walked to the side of the pillar, and also leaned on the railing and looked out between the courtyards.
The two looked at each other in silence for a while, and if they turned their heads to look, they could see the woman's beautiful and still green profile. It wasn't long before Su Tan'er finally spoke: "Xianggong likes to see the scenery here."
"It's pretty, isn't it?"
Ning Yi smiled. Knowing that for the two, it was time for a showdown.
…
"Xiang Gong is a weirdo."
"Um?"
