Amid the hustle and bustle of people, firelight lit up the Su Mansion after dark. The green tiles and cornices, the carved corridors and painted buildings, and the snowflakes that fell were pushed away or melted away by the heat in the air.
Today's dinner party has just begun. It extends from a side hall on the side of Su Mansion. There are twenty-six tables in size. The tables are round and square. There are more than two hundred people. This is just an ordinary dinner in Su Mansion this winter.
That's it. There are less in other seasons. As the New Year approaches, the banquets here become more frequent.
The third room of the Su Mansion, many cousins, some elders working for the Su family, and some shopkeepers gathered from various places this time have all taken their seats. At the round table in the center are naturally Su Taigong, Song Dynasty
Mao, as well as several elderly people of the same generation as Taigong Su, as well as the heads of the family such as Su Boyong and Su Zhongkan, the layout of the tables around them is basically very particular. Only those who have truly contributed to the Su family can sit. For example, Yushan
Su Chonghua, the head of the academy, Su Yunsong, the big shopkeeper who manages the local business, and other shopkeepers, even if they are directly connected to the third room, must be the real ones in charge. Only people with this status can sit nearby. If Xi Junyu is invited,
, you can probably sit here.
As for Su Tan'er, although she is now in charge of many things in the big house, she is still a woman and has not yet cleared her name. She sits a table further away from Ning Yi. There is not much dialogue between the two, but it seems that their expressions
As usual, of course, it's hard to tell what exactly is going on in each of their minds.
Starting from this table, everyone's seating rules became much looser. It was at a square table a little later. Su Wenxing and Su Wengui were gathering together, and occasionally looked over here with evil intentions.
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 several people paying attention to the two of them in high and low moods, and until the end, their emotions could not be relieved at all.
.
"Song Zhizhou and the others will definitely come over later, and then they will praise Ning Yi. Once Song Zhizhou talks about it, everyone will pay attention immediately, and the show is about to begin."
Su Wengui thought he had a thorough understanding of this matter. Especially after Song Mao mentioned Ning Yi once in the first few discussions there and said that he was good at teaching, this idea became even more certain.
About a quarter of an hour after the banquet started, the tables began to move. Another quarter of an hour later, Song Maofang picked up his wine glass and walked around a little with Su Zhongkan.
As Song Mao's status as the governor, it didn't matter that he sat on the chairman's seat and remained motionless. However, he had always been considerate of everything. When he moved around, he was not using the pretense of being the governor, but putting his body as usual.
In the position of relatives and friends of the Su family. In this way, it was already a great honor to greet several tables around him, but then, he turned towards Su Tan'er and Ning Yi in a casual manner, and saw that
He said a few words: "The Su family has Tan'er and Li Heng..."
"I'll go over..." Su Wenxing picked up a wine glass and leaned over. Just as he got closer, he saw Song Mao and Su Zhongkan turning away. He was slightly stunned and turned back.
"What's the matter……"
"I don't know, uncle just said a few words..."
"As Lord Zhizhou, I shouldn't say more. I'm afraid Lord Zhizhou thinks the time is not enough." Su Wengui thought for a while with a gloomy face, "Maybe I have to wait until my second sister and Ning Yi go over to toast before I can say anything.
Let’s use these words for examination.”
As the firelight lingered, the banquet was going on noisily. People were walking around, children were playing, and people were drinking and drinking at the wine table. Several people had something on their minds and 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 the food.
He picked up his glass and walked towards the main table among the crowd. Su Tan'er and Ning Yi came back after toasting. Su Wenxing and Su Wengui also came back with doubts. They looked at Ning Yi and then at Song Mao, blinked, and then
After another discussion, soon after, the couple Su Tan'er and Ning Yi got up again and had a conversation with Song Mao not far away. Su Wengui pushed Su Wenxing, and Su Wenxing followed... and came back with a wine glass...
The banquet gradually dispersed.
If we follow stricter rules, the other people can leave only after the old lady leaves. However, the old lady likes to chat with 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, eat.
Those who are full and drunk will disperse by themselves, disperse, hehe..."
Some children had already started to take a nap after being noisy enough, and some people vomited and lay on the table. After the old lady said these words, the atmosphere became more free, some people left, and some people came to the table.
Say hello to the old lady and others and chat about some interesting things. The faces of Su Wengui and others were gloomy. Su Wenxing had been boasting for several days because Song Mao was coming over. At this time, he felt that his face had dropped to the ground.
I can't even put it together.
"What, there's no chance at all..."
"Your uncle never planned to test him from the beginning..."
"If you can't help your uncle, why don't you just say no? When you came out, you said you would definitely..."
At the other end of the field of vision, Song Mao had already stood up and seemed to be saying something with a smile: "I'm too drunk..." He was probably about to leave, and Su Tan'er and Ning Yi had already gone to the old lady's place to say hello. When Song Mao was about to leave
When they arrived at the door, Su Tan'er and Ning Yi also started to turn around and leave. Su Wenxing, with a dark face, suddenly stood up: "Wait!"
The noisy voice was suppressed by these words for a moment, and then started to move again. Many people noticed him, so naturally they didn't think that the words were directed at him. Song Mao at the door glanced here, Su Tan'er and
Ning Yi looked over in confusion, 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 something wrong?"
"I...I...well...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 much wine. For him, it was just enough to gargle his mouth. At this time, his head was still sober. He sat down at the table, took out a journal and put it aside, and then polished his ink.
, and took out a few pieces of rice paper and laid them out, prepared the brush, put his hand in a writing posture, and thought about it in his heart.
I gained a lot today.
Originally, it was just a routine visit to Master Qin, and the expected gains were not much. As an official like him, originally, important people had to visit frequently, and no one knew when it would play a specific role. The daily routine of building good relationships
It's always right. He didn't have any big expectations for the master-disciple relationship with Qin Siyuan. This matter is just a bargaining chip here. When Qin Siyuan comes back in the future, he will naturally remember him a little. If he disappears
Whenever there is a chance of recovery, he can always have some contact with his two sons. The degree of this contact is not deep, and even he himself did not expect that it will be more or less further today.
Today in the Qin Mansion, the casualness shown by Ning Liheng and the two old people really shocked him. It seemed natural and not between children and nephews. No wonder Master Qin said this when he introduced them.
He and his friend Ming Gong were shocked. Things were not bad. After he confessed his relationship with the Su family and the other party, Master Qin's attitude towards him changed obviously. It was no longer that pure.
He was very satisfied with the courtesy and deepening of the relationship between ordinary disciples and their teachers.
On the other hand, he also met Kang Xian and Kang Mingyun.
Song Mao thought about this and first wrote a few words on the rice paper: Kang Gong Ming Yun gave me a lesson. Then he stopped. He was going to visit Ming Gong in a few days. He was thinking about the wording of the post, and then he added "Gong Ming".
Put a stroke under the word "ci" in "Jian" and write the word "道" next to it. "Taojian" is a usage suitable for those who are morally upright and respected scholars.
These words are small details, but these are indeed what he is thinking about at this time. As for testing whether Ning Yi is trying to gain fame, he gave up completely after greeting Ning Yi in the Qin Mansion. To be fair,
His current status is not that he is afraid of Qin Siyuan, nor is he afraid of Kang Mingyun. 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 something, Ning Yi
Yi is just a little person to him.
But why bother.
Anyway, whether the second bedroom is taken over by the Su family, or whether the little girl named Su Tan'er is taken over by the Su family, there is no difference in what I can get, so why bother. From that time on, the decisions that can be made are clear. Ning Yi
It doesn't matter whether this person is just trying to gain fame 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...it was just a trivial matter. Once he decided to do it, he no longer took it to heart.
After a while, Song Kai came in and reported: "Young Master Wenxing would like to see you." He nodded: "Let him come in." His eyes were still focused on the rice paper in front of him, and he began to write the next words...
**********
The snowy wind was blowing, and the night under the snowy scenery seemed a bit lonely and desolate. In the distance, the sound of temple bells could be heard.
The banquet in the distance has basically dispersed. Looking over there from the fence on the second floor, the firelight seems to have faded a lot. Ning Yi lies there and casually looks at the Su family courtyard with swaying lights and snowy curtains.
Among them, the lights in each room and attic are very artistic.
Footsteps came from the stairs, and he knew who it was without looking. The footsteps were different from Xiao Chan, who usually fell in love with him and pulled him down. Xiao Chan's footsteps were much more lively, elegant and quiet -
—Perhaps it would be more appropriate to say calm and quiet.
He tilted his head, and saw the silver-white figure coming from the other side of the field of vision. He only saw a corner of the fox fur, because there was a pillar next to him. The figure walked to the other side of the pillar and stopped, too.
Lying on the railing and looking out into the courtyard.
The two looked at each other in silence for a while. If they turned their heads to look, they could see the woman's beautiful yet green profile. Not long after, Su Tan'er finally spoke: "My husband likes to see the scenery here very much."
.”
"It's beautiful, isn't it?"
Ning Yi smiled. He knew that the showdown time had come for the two of them.
…
"My husband is a weirdo."
"Um?"
