On the long table, there are several empty bottles and empty cups, and although the leftovers on the plate are cold, you can still feel the preciousness and deliciousness of the ingredients.

On the main seat of the long table sat an old man with white hair, who looked to be over seventy years old, but his spirit was not at all sluggish.

He was dressed in casual home clothes, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was savoring the sweetness of the wine.

Behind the old man, there was a man in a suit who stood straight, from his posture to his attitude, he was the first housekeeper.

He doesn't look too young, and his sideburns are a little gray.

"Master, let's let these be removed. The butler-looking man looked at the empty bottles, empty cups and scraps with a wry smile.

He has been with the master for decades, and he knows that the master has always hated this messy appearance and likes a neat and clean environment.

But today, the lord somehow, after inviting guests, he didn't let people clean up, and sat in his position willingly, sipping red wine in front of a bottle of cups and bowls, not a few smiles flashed on his face, I don't know what he was thinking.

"Uncle, I'm very happy today. The old man suddenly said, "Don't spoil my interest." ”

After speaking, the old man took another sip of the wine in the glass, glanced at the wine bottle on the long table, and showed a somewhat expectant smile on his face.

The housekeeper was also Lin Bochang, and he was even more confused when he heard it.

The lord is happy today, he can see that on this day every year, the lord will invite some young alumni to come here for dinner and chat.

On this day of the year, the lord is generally much happier than usual.

In the master's own words, that is, drinking and chatting with these junior brothers, I feel much younger.

However, this time is obviously a little special, in the past, the lord sent off the guests, and this banquet will end, and the lord will immediately return to a normal state.

And today, the lord seems to be still immersed in some kind of emotion.

Lin Bochang has followed the master for decades, so he can naturally guess the master's thoughts.

He couldn't help but think carefully about the three young men who had been invited tonight, one seemed to have a good amount of alcohol, one was a little talented, and the other seemed very mediocre.

When it comes to conversation, talent, and appearance, there doesn't seem to be anything outstanding compared to previous years, and it's even inferior to previous years.

Who did the lord admire among the three of them, and what qualities did he value about that person?

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Bochang still didn't find the answer, because in his opinion, compared to the young handsome people that the master had seen, those three young people seemed too mediocre.

I heard the old man suddenly say to himself: "Interesting, after so many years, I finally came up with a little alumnus who overshadowed me back then, hehe." ”

Lin Bochang hurriedly answered: "Master, the three who came today don't seem to be particularly outstanding." ”

The old man smiled and shook his head: "I'm not talking about them, the one who interested me was the one who didn't come." ”

"Didn't come?" Lin Bochang was slightly stunned, and then reacted.

There were originally four alumni invited today, but only three were present.

The invitation to the lord was no-show, which had never happened before.

When he learned the news, Lin Bochang silently recited to the student who didn't come: I don't know how to lift.

Whoever thinks that the master says that he is interested is the student who missed the appointment.

"If you can refuse the invitation of the master, he is indeed the first ......"

The old man didn't wait for Uncle Lin to finish speaking, and waved his hand.

"Uncle, didn't you hear the conversation I had with the three young alumni just now. ”

Uncle Lin knew that the old man invited the little alumni to dinner, and he didn't like other people around, which would make the little alumni feel restrained, so before the meal, he would leave the restaurant.

Naturally, there was no way to hear the content of the chat between the old man and his little alumnus.

"Is there anything special about the kid who didn't come?"

The old man smiled again, shook his wine glass, and turned his head to look at Lin Bochang, whose upper body was slightly bowed and his lower body was standing straight.

frowned slightly, raised his hand and clicked on the table next to him, and said, "Uncle, sit down and have a drink with me and chat." ”

It's rare that the old man is in such a good mood today, and he talks so well, plus it is very similar to knowing why the child arouses the curiosity of the old man, Lin Bochang did not shirk it.

The old man and Lin Bochang clinked glasses, with a look of remembrance on their faces.

"Uncle, do you know who is the most showy at this Golden Autumn Ball?" the old man suddenly asked.

Lin Bochang smiled bitterly: "Master, I have never paid much attention to the affairs of the Golden Autumn Ball. ”

The old man glanced at Lin Bochang: "Uncle, you are getting more and more boring, you can guess if you don't know." ”

Lin Bochang frowned, thought for a while, and then said: "I heard that the youngest son of the head of the Li family is outstanding, and with his family background, he should be able to stand out among the male students of Xinhua University." “

The old man seemed to shake his head a little disdainfully: "If the youngest son of the Li family is so good, he should have been sitting here just now." ”

"Actually, I was very interested in that kid before they came tonight. ”

"The pearl of the Zhang family, the youngest daughter of the Zhou family, the star daughter of the Ouyang family, the current school flower, by the way, and the daughter of the nouveau riche ......"

Lin Bochang looked at the old man with a puzzled expression, not knowing why he cited so many girls.

The old man paused his appetite slightly, brought the wine glass to his lips, and took another sip.

"This lineup is more luxurious than the girls I invited to the Golden Autumn Ball back then. ”

"However, these girls actually lined up to dance with that kid. ”

Lin Bochang seemed to see a little unconvinced in the eyes of the head of the family, and he was surprised and surprised in his heart.

This kind of emotion, the last time I saw it from the head of the family, I don't remember how many years ago.

The head of the family would have such emotions towards a young man who was still in college.

However, Lin Bochang was even more surprised by the master's words.

"Master, are you talking about the Zhang family, the Zhou family, and the Ouyang family?"

The old man said angrily: "It's not those ones, I need to bring it up." ”

"Whose family is that young man?" asked Lin Bochang.

The old man also showed a look of doubt on his face, then shook his head, and said with some puzzlement: "The strange thing is here." ”

"I also checked the child's background and found that he was an ordinary college freshman, and he was not from a very good family. ”

Even his tuition fees were made up by his part-time job before the start of school. ”

Lin Bochang's face suddenly looked surprised: "Could it be that he looks better than Pan An?"

"That's not right, those ladies and ladies, don't be superficial and when you see a handsome guy. ”

The old man's expression was even more confused: "The strange thing is that the young man is not outstanding in appearance. ”

Speaking of this, the old man frowned: "Well, except that there are some characteristics of those eyebrows. ”

"Those big ladies, what do you like about him?" Lin Bochang showed a thoughtful look, if something goes wrong, it must be a demon, since this thing is so weird, there must be a problem.

The old man saw Uncle Lin's worries, and waved his hand relaxedly.

"Uncle, don't think too much, don't have so many intrigues. ”

"And if you want to unite the Ouyang family, the Zhou family, and the Zhang family, that's a big deal, will you play this kind of small tricks?"

Lin Bochang nodded instructively: "Also, if it was really to get close to you, master, I wouldn't be absent today." ”

"yes. The old man said with some regret: "I was a little disappointed that I didn't see that kid today." ”

However, through chatting with several of his roommates, I can also learn a thing or two about his situation. ”

When the old man said this, his face showed excitement.

"That kid is actually a thousand-cup wine barrel that is not drunk, and he has a pretty good hand, and he was an undefeated champion during military training. ”

Hearing this, Lin Bochang nodded: "In this way, he does have some charm. ”

The old man bowed his head and said: "Yes, I can drink, I have a hand, and I have a hand...... Hey hey"

Lin Bochang looked at the expression of remembrance on the old man's face, and combined with his words, he seemed to understand the old man's thoughts.

He smiled and said, "Master, he is much worse than you were back then." Not only can you drink, but you are also skilled, and you were known as the most beautiful man in Xinhua University. ”

The old man glared at Lin Bochang angrily: "What a beautiful man, it's just girly when you listen to it, you can't say that you are the first handsome guy." ”

"What's the use of being the first handsome guy, I was really not as good as that kid when I was in the limelight at the Golden Autumn Ball. ”

"I really want to find a time to have a drink with that kid, pick up girls, and be skilled. ”

Lin Bochang was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Master." Even if you really have a plan, where will people have the courage to compete with you. ”

The old man turned his head to look at Uncle Lin and said, "This has to be arranged by you, Uncle." ”

Seeing that Lin Bochang still wanted to object, the old man waved his hand: "Don't worry, I have my own measure." I won't make a joke about tossing this old bone away. ”

Lin Bochang was speechless for a moment, and he had nothing to object to what the head of the family decided.

Fortunately, the head of the family has indeed not done anything ridiculous over the years.

The old man drank the red wine in his glass, then stood up, turned around and walked in the direction of the bedroom, and Lin Bochang hurriedly got up and followed.

The old man walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, and said, "By the way, that kid also has a forest in his name." Uncle, do you think this is a kind of fate, or is it a joke made by God. ”

"Haha, I'm really looking forward to meeting that kid more and more. ”

Sending the old man into the bedroom, Lin Bochang's face immediately turned bitter.

How to arrange for the master to meet that kid is really a bit nerve-wracking.

In the bedroom, the old man did not sleep, he sat at the head of the bed and took out a photo.

The boy in the photo looks ordinary, but he has a pair of long, curved eyebrows, which makes people feel kind and trustworthy at first glance.

The old man put the photo on the bedside table and said to himself, "The more I look at it, the more familiar it feels." ”
