―― I'm a lovely and respectable manuscript depositor――

……

By noon, all the guests had arrived, and there were no empty seats in the lobby for the banquet, except for two empty seats set by the host.

The seats are set up on the left and right, with a spacious aisle in the middle, and the guests on the left and right sit cross-legged facing each other.

Jin Qingyun sat on the main seat facing the center of the aisle, but today the main seat was divided into two - not on the side, because no matter where the saint was, there was no reason for the saint to be subservient to others.

Kong Fu and Jin Qingyun are at the top, while Jin Yuming is at the top left, and the two vacant positions on the bottom right should be reserved for the two sons of the Jin family.

Jin Mi, the eldest grandson of the Jin family, and the ...... who has just returned home The name is still unknown, and the second grandson of the second grandson.

"Grandson has seen grandfather—" A young man's voice came from the foyer, and the guests turned their heads in anticipation.

I saw that in the foyer, there were two young men walking side by side, one purple and one blue.

The one in the purple robe had a long figure, and just standing there gave people a sense of wanton grace.

The other is a little taller, with a tall and straight body, which gives a sense of fortitude at first glance.

Jin Mi deliberately wanted to walk in front of Jin Qi, and took two quick steps, with a disdainful sneer on the corner of his mouth.

This seemingly unintentional action, but it fell steadily in the eyes of all the guests present.

It seems that these two sons don't seem to be treated well......

It's just the first time he has appeared, and he has given such a dismount, especially on this occasion, it's really ......

Feeling the different gazes of everyone, Jin Mi walked more and more vigorously, and his head was slightly tilted upward.

Jin Qingyun's eyes sank, and his fingers tightened.

This idiot!

At such a time, he still only cares about Wei Xian's inexplicable nobility!

But I don't know that the face of the family has never been something that one person can hold up - in front of outsiders, he still doesn't save face for his own family, is his brain eaten by dogs!

If the people behind catch up regardless of the manners, then this homecoming banquet is really going to be laughable and generous!

Jin Yuming's face was almost a little unfrozen.

Regarding the question in Jin Qingyun's heart, 'Is Ah Mi's brain eaten by a dog', in fact, he, who is a father, has also suspected it for many years......

Everyone subconsciously looked at the second son.

But seeing that he didn't check anything, he didn't keep up quickly, let alone lose his temper, he only maintained the pace he should have, and walked towards the top step by step.

At this time, if you follow in a gaffe, it will seem too petty and will be despised.

However, at this time, everyone did not have the heart to praise the second son for being calm and appropriate, because everyone's attention was already on those blue eyes-

There really is a pair of blue eyes unique to the Xiling people......!

The exceptionally high nose, the deep and distinct facial contours, and the strange blue eyes are all characteristics of Xiling people, but their skin color is not as close to sickly white as the Xiling people, but a very healthy wheat color, these two different regional characteristics are mixed together, at first glance, it forms a kind of handsome and handsome that is completely different from ordinary Central Plains men.

The seat couldn't help but make a low noise.

"Master, master...... This, isn't this Jin, Jin Gongzi......" Shi Qing's eyes widened, and the hand holding the tea cup trembled.

However, this Jin son is not the other Jin son!

God, isn't he dreaming?

Kong Fu was also shocked for a moment, but he instantly covered the look in his eyes, and signaled Shi Qing not to lose his temper.

Shi Qingqiang suppressed the look of surprise on his face, but the surging feelings in his heart could not be calmed by half a minute.

Uncle Di, who was kneeling on the futon on the side and waiting, also saw Jin Qi.

But fortunately, it was facial paralysis, and the feeling of disbelief did not appear on the face.

"Master, this ...... Why did the son of Jin suddenly become the second son of Jin......?" Shi Qing asked in a low voice.

But I heard Kong Fu say with a long look in his eyes: "It's not wrong." ”

"What's wrong?" Shi Qing asked subconsciously.

"You can't go wrong with anything." Comfo smiled and stroked his gray goatee.

Shi Qing was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly suddenly.

yes, you can't be wrong.

The person is found by the Jin family, so naturally it can't be wrong.

It doesn't matter how he is the second son of the Jin family, in short, he can't be wrong!

Shi Qing's description suddenly became excited.

His instincts were right!

He knew it...... Jin Gongzi is by no means an ordinary person!

In this way, perhaps the ambition he made at the beginning is still possible, and the plan has been entrusted by someone!

"Master, the apprentice has already made a decision......!" Shi Qing looked at his master excitedly, not feeling at all that he was too impulsive to make a decision in a moment.

But......

Why did the master frown, looking thoughtful?

Every time the master frowned and thought deeply, he must be thinking about something extremely important - Shi Qing couldn't help but become cautious and rigorous, and asked softly, "Master, what are you thinking?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Confuge looking up at the lower right.

Shi Qing looked at it again.

I saw that the two sons had already sat down one after the other, and the master's eyes fell on the ...... The body of the second son.

The master must not be dissatisfied with his decision, right?

But didn't the old man like Jin Gongzi before?

Shi Qing was a little hesitant, and was about to ask a few more tentative questions, but he heard Kong Fu say slowly: "I am wondering if Jiang Yatou came to the capital with Jin Gongzi——"

Shi Qing: "......"

Uncle Di heard a violent convulsion on his face.

What the hell is wrong with you, sir......!

Why is there still that girl in mind at such a moment!

She didn't even reply to your letter!

As a great sage who is respected by the whole country, what about your minimum reserve and self-esteem? Is there any hope of getting it back?

Uncle Di shook his head in pain.

"When the banquet is over, I have to find a chance to ask him if I know where Jiang Yatou is...... Hey, I don't know what happened to this girl now, it's really reassuring. Mr. Kong, the sage who had lost his reserve and self-esteem, said to himself, nodding his head as he spoke, and this expression of always thinking about his children made Uncle Di once again have the urge to destroy himself.

On the other side, the Duke of Jin Guo had already gotten up from his seat, and said with a smile in front of everyone: "My second grandson, after the eldest son Ah Ming, is called Jin Ran - because he was an immortal when he was born, he decided that he could not be fostered in the mansion, and he had to use the power of Buddhism to eliminate the calamity. Therefore, it was sent to the temple to recuperate, and now fortunately blessed by God, the disaster has disappeared, the old man felt very happy in his heart, so he set up this banquet to receive the wind and wash the dust, you can come, it is the luck of Jin, and it is also the blessing of nature. ”

After saying a few words, Jin Qingyun looked at Jin Qi with a smile and said, "Then, I would like to give you a glass of thank-you wine." ”

Jin Qi then stood up, raised the wine glass with both hands, the wide sleeves of his robe naturally drooped, his expression was meticulous, and the wine glass in his hand moved left and right in the direction of everyone, and said: "Thank you for coming, the younger generation will do it first." ”

After that, he raised his head and drank it all.

Everyone looked at it and nodded secretly.

The words and actions are concise, but the atmosphere is calm.

At that time, he was famous and hard to find...... Although he didn't have a similarly talented son to inherit his father's business, the second son, who had been raised outside since he was a child, and the son who didn't even have the opportunity to look at him, did not lose his face.

Jin Mi sighed, raised his head and ate a glass of stuffy wine.

Jin Qingyun concealed the complicated feelings in his eyes without a trace, toasted Kong Fu with a glass of sake alone, and beckoned everyone to move his chopsticks.

"Sir, eat a little more......" Before Kong Fu could pick up the chopsticks, Uncle Di persuaded in a low voice.

After a tiring journey, he must have a poor appetite for three or five days and cannot eat.

But the body can't bear it......

Kong Fu smiled and didn't speak, picked up his chopsticks and raised his hand to pick up a piece of spring bamboo shoots at random.

On this kind of occasion, it is not feasible to not eat anything at all, and when you come, you don't move your chopsticks, isn't that a clear slap in the face of the master.

Not to mention that Kong Fu has always acted thoroughly, just saying that when he saw this 'second son of Jin' today, he had to finish this meal well.

However, when he put the dish in his mouth and tasted it, Confu's eyes lit up slightly.

After a closer look, I noticed that this plate of braised spring bamboo shoots in oil is very good-looking, the bamboo shoots are burned to a bright red sauce and served with finely chopped green onion flowers, just looking at it is appetizing - and the taste is not lost in the slightest!

A true mix of colour and flavour.

Braised bamboo shoots in oil is not a rare dish, but the heat is particularly important, although eating bamboo shoots can not be fresh, but at the same time to ensure that they are cooked, they can also master the crispness, and when they come out of the pot, they will not be old or raw, which is the most difficult.

Whetted with the first bite, Confer went on to try the other dishes in front of him.

The dishes on the table were obviously not the work of one person, but Confuge could conclude that the stewed bamboo shoots in oil must have come from the same person as the Longjing shrimp, stuffed bitter gourd, jade tofu, and the bowl of fish ball soup.

It is not suitable to eat too greasy things in spring, and these dishes are well matched, especially suitable for spring food, which can be appetizing and clear the stomach at the same time.

is not confined to the luxury of the dishes, but pays attention to the way of health, and at the same time does not lose the deliciousness and uniqueness, it can be seen that the Jin family has obviously taken great pains this time.

On weekdays, most of the rest of the guests who are tired of eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas are also eating with relish.

Jin Qingyun swept the seat, and Jin Mi's eyes were finally a little more pleasing to the eye.

Finally one thing was done.

A little relieved Jin Guogong did not know that after he handed over the banquet menu to his grandson, his grandson was thrown to Xie in a blink of an eye, Xie is Jin Yuming's stepfamily, not Jin Mi's biological mother, but because he only gave birth to two daughters after marrying into the Guogong Mansion, he had no children under his knees, so he was very interested in Jin Mi.

Xie Shi handed over the matter to the reliable Jiang manager.

Steward Jiang accidentally caught Jiang Ying, who came to the house to look for relatives.

Jin Qi looked at the dish in front of him with a dish full of color and aroma, and suddenly lost his mind.

Has there been a change of cooks from other places in the Jin State Mansion?

It has a very Suzhou flavor.

Or maybe it should be said...... It's like the taste she makes.

It's like it.

……

Two pale blue maiden figures emerged from the attic.

After walking a distance, Ah Yan poked Jiang Ying, who was parallel with her elbow, and asked in a low voice, "Is our cousin very good-looking?" It's well deserved—"

Jiang Ying nodded when she heard this.

Uh, actually...... She didn't even look closely.

I hadn't seen her before, but this time she had finished her work and had nothing to do, so she helped Ah Yan to deliver pastries to this cousin.

It is said that this cousin is the niece of the second lady Xie and the daughter of the sister of the same mother.

Jiang Ying was thinking, is it the standard of the Tuas clan to have a guest lady?

I remember that when I was in Hanfu, Qu also took my niece to Suzhou and lived for a short time - if it weren't for the outbreak of the plague in Suzhou, it would be very likely that I would continue to live.

At that time, I vaguely heard that Qu's move was to introduce this niece to Han Chengji to 'get acquainted'.

I don't know if this Miss Cousin surnamed Lu is also living here for the purpose of getting to know which son of the Jin family?

However, I heard Ah Yan say: "Miss Biao has been raised in our house since she was a child, and she can be regarded as growing up with the eldest son. Miss Biao is a miserable person, her mother was the eldest daughter of the Xie family, but she passed it on to Yin Li back then......"

Who is Yin Li?

Jiang Ying didn't know.

But the surname is Yin, presumably from the royal family.

The Xie family has already declined, and it is not difficult to understand that they would marry their daughter into the heavenly family more than ten years ago.

"Later, Yin Li rebelled and was exterminated by the nine clans, the eldest sister of the second lady was a woman of the scholar clan, and she could have been spared a death, but she had a deep relationship with Yin Li and his wife, and in the end she was martyred," Ah Yan said with a sigh ......of embarrassment.

Therefore, the second wife took her sister's daughter to her knees and raised her.

If an orphan girl who has lost her father and mother stays in her grandfather's house, which is declining, there is only one way out - to find a young scholar who is also not prosperous to marry, and live in toil for the rest of her life.

But if you raise it in the Jin family, the future will be completely different.

Thinking of the attic, hanging her eyes and embroidering, she shook her head and asked them to take the pastries back, only to say that she was a weak beauty who had no appetite in the spring, but Jiang Ying didn't dare to agree with Ah Yan's idea.

It's not necessarily a good thing to be fortunate to be under the high gate......

But after all, it had nothing to do with herself, so Jiang Ying didn't bother thinking about it anymore, and just walked forward with Ah Yan, while listening to the chatty girl talking about trivial things.

The two of them carried the food box and walked for about half an hour.

At a fork in the road ahead, behind the weeping locust tree that had just pulled new leaves, a child of five or six years old suddenly appeared.

At a young age, the boy tied his soft hair on the top of his head, fixed it with a silver hairpin crown, and wore a magnolia-colored stabbing auspicious cloud satin jacket, although it was luxurious and exquisite, but in this sunny spring day, it seemed a little heavy.

About all the way along, a thin layer of sweat appeared on the child's fair face.

Jiang Ying was startled by the boy who suddenly appeared, and then came back to her senses and saw his dress, so she hurriedly whispered to Ah Yan, "Which son is this?" ”

Ah Yan turned her head to look at her, her expression as if she had seen a ghost.

The aunts in the kitchen all called her stupid, but according to her...... Sakura is much more stupid than her! R1152
