As usual, when a wealthy family has a banquet with guests, the higher the status of the dignitaries, the later they will arrive.
When Yuzhu and the others arrived at the entrance of the alley, there were not many people coming, and the carriage arrived in front of Baylor Mansion smoothly.
After the notification, I saw a young eunuch coming out of the concierge. He ran over quickly, bent down and said, "Little Qin Shun, please be safe."
When Sun Chengyun heard that it was Qin Shun who was here, he couldn't help but be shocked. The most powerful eunuch around Seventh Brother seemed to be named Qin Shun, right?
Seeing that Sun Chengyun was a little distracted and Qin Shun kept showing his greetings, Yuzhu quickly pulled Sun Chengyun's arm.
Sun Chengyun came to his senses, quickly took action, helped Qin Shun up personally, and said with a smile: "Oh, Mr. Qin is too polite. I really don't dare to be a brother. I will definitely set it up at Zuixian Tower someday."
There is a table of first-class dishes. Brother, Yuzhu and I will accompany you. Can you please take the time to show your respect to Mr. Qin?"
Yuzhu nodded secretly. Sun Chengyun's communication skills were not just a boast. It was really a watermelon that fell into the oil pan and was slippery.
Different from the joke in the TV series, if Sun Chengyun carelessly called Qin Shun Eunuch Qin, he would definitely have offended Qin Shun to death.
Both inside and outside the palace, eunuchs who have a good reputation are very taboo with the extremely insulting title "father-in-law".
Calling Qin Eunuch is equivalent to scolding Qin Shun to his face, you eggless eunuch!
Qin Shun took a deep look at Sun Chengyun and said with a smile: "You and Mr. Yu are going to treat us together. No matter how busy we are, we still have to ask for a drink."
Sun Chengyun understood as soon as he heard that Qin Shun's master, the seventh elder brother, thought highly of Yuzhu, and his grandson was just an incidental addition.
In these four-nine cities, everyone is very sharp-tongued, and greetings when they meet by chance are often full of false politeness. For example, I will invite your family to have a drink later, and we will set up a table at Zuixian Restaurant in a few days, etc.
Wait, these are just polite words that cannot be taken seriously.
If you sincerely want to treat a guest, you should be like Sun Chengyun and clearly state the place and company, and let Qin Shun decide the time.
Baylor Mansion occupies a very large area. If you just walk in, you will probably have to walk a long way.
Under Qin Shun's guidance, Sun Chengyun's carriage drove in through the side door of Baylor Mansion with the threshold strip removed, and did not stop until it reached the front door of the outer study room in the front yard.
Qin Shun, who was sitting on the carriage shaft, jumped off the carriage, stood beside the carriage, and personally held hands to help Sun Chengyun and Yuzhu get out.
How could Sun Chengyun be so ignorant? He hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it, do it by yourself, do it by yourself." After that, he held the coachman's hand and got off the carriage.
Yuzhu was just a genius, let alone the chief eunuch of Baylor Mansion. He deliberately climbed out of the carriage from the other side.
Qin Shun nodded secretly. Both of them were people who knew etiquette and propriety, not arrogant and domineering people.
In front of the outer study room, seventh elder brother Yinyou stood at the foot of the steps, looking at the guests approaching with a smile.
A superior person actually comes down to greet you. This is a great courtesy!
Sun Chengyun and Yuzhu were not blind fools. They quickly walked a few steps and plunged into the distance side by side.
"Please be safe, Master Qi!"
"Let's get up." The seventh elder brother seemed to be in a good mood and said with a smile, "Khan Ama rewarded me with a frightening fragrance a few days ago, which is Biluochun, and I have prepared it for you."
Okay, the host is so kind, what else can the guest say?
Sun Chengyun and Yuzhu, half a step behind, followed the seventh elder brother and entered the outer study.
In this era, general receptions were held in the east and west flower halls. Receiving guests in the outer study of Baylor House itself shows that the host values the guests.
After the guests and hosts were seated, the servants served tea. The seventh elder brother took the lead in picking up the tea cup, took a sip, and joked with a smile: "I am inviting you to taste tea, not serving tea as a farewell."
Sun Chengyun didn't read much, his cultural quality was not good, and the custom of serving tea to guests was not very popular nowadays, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
Yuzhu had read the Four Books, Five Classics and the Classics and History, and had a lot of allusions. He naturally knew that the custom of "serving tea to see off guests" began in the Song Dynasty.
"Haha, Master Qi is joking. If Master Qi serves tea but refuses to drink it, then the student and Brother Boqing will have to leave immediately." Yuzhu explained the practice and origin of serving tea to guests in a jovial manner. At the end, he actually joked
Asked the seventh brother, "I heard that the chef in the seventh master's house is very good and has dozens of specialty dishes. We didn't even get a meal and left in despair. Wouldn't it be a huge loss?"
Yuzhu knew in his heart that the seventh prince treated them with such courtesy. If he still adhered to the etiquette and rules, that kind of interaction would be really boring.
In interpersonal communication, the first encounter is particularly important. Generally speaking, people who dislike you at first sight are unlikely to make close friends in the future.
A long time ago, Seventh Prince already knew that he had no chance of becoming a great person, and he had no evil intention to seize the throne from his direct descendants.
He came from a humble background, was born with a disability, and neither his mother's family nor his wife's family had the strength to support him. What could the Seventh Prince do to fight for the throne?
The eighth prince is still childless, but he still favors the eighth prince and dares not even take a concubine. Is it because the eighth prince's mother family has no hope at all, but the eighth prince's Guo Luomafa is Prince Lao'an
Yue Le?
The Seventh Prince didn't have much to think about. He just liked Yuzhu and felt sympathy for her.
Yuzhu's personal conditions are good, he is extremely handsome, and he has read many scriptures. He has a gentle and elegant atmosphere, which makes people more fond of him.
More importantly, Yuzhu is a truly knowledgeable child prodigy. He is only fourteen years old, and relying on his true ability, he actually passed the Shuntianfu Academy Examination, which is admirable.
If you have strength, others will really respect you!
It was still early, so Seventh Brother and Yuzhu were chatting about the present and the past. Many of their views coincided with each other, and they had an extremely enjoyable conversation.
"Come here, go and call the prince." On a whim, the seventh prince ordered someone to call Hongshu, who loved him like a treasure.
After Hongshu arrived, Sun Chengyun took a closer look and suddenly discovered that the looks of Yuzhu and Hongshu were obviously somewhat similar. In particular, both of them had beautiful phoenix eyes.
As parents, they all like to show off their sons' differences. The seventh elder brother said with great interest: "I have read a little bit."
After Hongshu memorized "The Thousand-Character Essay" in full, Sun Chengyun looked at Yuzhu and wondered what he didn't understand?
No wonder Seventh Brother treats Yuzhu so favorably. Isn't this just sympathy for each other and love for Wujiwu?
Yuzhu didn't know the details of Hongshu, but Sun Chengyun, who had many friends, knew it very well.
Hongshu has just turned six this year, and his biological mother is the Nala family of Fujin, the seventh prince's favorite. The Nala family's Ama, Han Chuhan, the sixth-grade shepherd chief, and Sun Chengyun are also old acquaintances.
Han Chuhan was in charge of the royal ranch. His official position was not high, but he was very courageous. Relying on the power of the seventh elder brother, Han Chuhan often sold BMWs privately in the name of dying of illness.
So far, Sun Chengyun has obtained several BMWs from him, and then resold them, secretly earning some pocket money.
Hongshu's appearance obviously means that the seventh elder brother highly recognizes Yuzhu and already regards him as one of his own.
