It was probably when Zhou Ruocheng and their second plate were just scorched, and someone finally came to announce that they could start eating.

"Huh!? It's time to eat! Zhou Ruocheng quickly stood up as if he had been grabbed as a life-saving straw and walked outside.

"Eh, eh! I said, Brother Zhou, we haven't finished playing chess yet? What are you doing here? Immediately, Old Man Guo was not happy and called Zhou Ruocheng.

"Old man, this person is iron rice and steel, and he is hungry if he doesn't eat a meal, right?" Zhou Ruocheng said: "Every second wasted now is a desecration of food!" ”

"There's some truth to what you say." Old Man Guo pondered for a moment, "Then let's leave it for the time being, and wait until we finish eating." ”

"Okay, it's up to your old man." Zhou Ruo became enlightened.

The two of them walked out of the study.

I'll leave after eating, who will play chess with you old chess master? Zhou Ruocheng now deeply feels why those uncles in the capital are so obsessed with chess 2.

The two walked out of the study with their front and back feet, and Old Man Guo stepped forward and hugged Zhou Ruocheng's neck, "Eh~ Brother Zhou, I have long been going to compare with you who can drink this, and see if you can blow this ability!" ”

Zhou Ruocheng smiled, it seems that this time the meal is probably not able to eat comfortably.

came to the dining table, the Guo family's dining table was a large round table, enough to sit more than ten people, but there were very few people coming, plus Zhou Ruocheng, there were only three people sitting here.

"Huh? Is this no one coming to eat? Zhou Ruocheng looked at the talented people and the pitiful people at this table, and once again looked puzzled.

"This person doesn't seem to be in order, huh? Xingyu? What about your sister? Old Man Guo asked again.

"Mademoiselle is still in the room, so I'll call her." Steward Li said.

"It's okay, I'm here." At this time, a girl walked in from the side, and she didn't look very old, probably a few years younger than Zhao Qingyuan, but the temperament exuded by the whole person.

Maybe this is the so-called Jiangmen children... Zhou Ruocheng muttered in his heart.

"Okay, now that everyone is together, it's time to eat." Old man Guo said.

"Huh?" That's a long way off, okay? After doing it for a long time, there were only four people in the end? So what do you want so many positions for? Zhou Ruocheng was very puzzled.

"Brother Zhou, do you have any questions?" Old Man Guo looked at Zhou Ruocheng and asked.

"I just wanted to ask, what about your wife and the like?" Zhou Ruocheng asked with some scruples, as if he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing.

"Oh, she's in Kyungju now." Old Man Guo replied indifferently, poured wine into his cup, and then poured a glass for Zhou Ruocheng.

"Huh? Doesn't the old lady live with you? Zhou Ruocheng was also a little puzzled.

"No, what kind of family members are you bringing with you to fight with soldiers?" Mr. Guo replied, "All the daughters of our family live in the ancestral house in the capital and did not come to Shanghai with us. ”

"Uh, that's it?" Zhou Ruocheng looked at the vacant positions around him.

"Oh, because our Guo family is a big family, we usually stay all over the country, and we will only come here for reunions during the Chinese New Year." Guo Xingyu explained.

"Oh, that's it." Zhou Ruocheng nodded, "Old man Guo, you have a son and a daughter at your feet, it's really good. ”

"Wrong, if you become a brother." Guo Xingyu explained again, "I have three brothers above me, and now they are stationed elsewhere, not in Shanghai. ”

"Oooh. Such. Zhou Ruocheng nodded again: "I see. ”

"Not to mention that I forgot, it's almost the New Year today, right?" Old man Guo said.

"If you go back to the master, there are still more than three months." Steward Li replied.

"Well, let them come back earlier this year

Come on, after all, Xingyu's affairs have not been celebrated properly. Old man Guo said.

"It's okay father, it's not a big deal." Guo Xingyu said again.

"Not a big deal?!" Old Man Guo was suddenly a little unhappy, "Isn't it a big deal for the princess to be pregnant?!" Isn't the child in Luoying's belly yours?! ”

"Of course it's mine!" Guo Xingyu was immediately anxious and hurriedly explained.

"Since it's yours, why isn't it a big deal?" Old Man Guo asked, "This is the emperor's grandson!" They are also the children and grandchildren of our family! If the emperor is alive, he will call me in-law in the future, do you know? Wouldn't it be better for them to come back sooner for such a big event? ”

"After all, my brothers are in charge of important areas in Dahua, and they should be loyal to their duties, how can they leave without permission because they are willing to do so?" Guo Xiaomei, who had not spoken, spoke.

"Well, that's reasonable, take care of the place first, anyway, this person is here, I'm afraid she won't be able to escape?" Only then did Old Man Guo pick up the wine glass and drank it all.

"What's that, Brother Zhou." Only then did Old Man Guo think of Zhou Ruocheng.

"Huh?" Zhou Ruocheng raised his head.

"I'll give you a drink." I don't know when the wine in Old Man Guo's wine glass was filled again, and it was sent to Zhou Ruocheng.

"Huh." Zhou Ruocheng stood up, holding the wine glass with both hands and touching it to the bottom edge of Old Man Guo's cup.

"Has Brother Zhou married a daughter-in-law?" Old Man Guo asked again after finishing his wine again.

"Ah, I already have a wife." Zhou Ruocheng replied.

"Huh? Haha, I'll just say, you are a flamboyant person, isn't it easy to deceive a girl? Old Man Guo was stunned for a moment, but soon laughed, and this hand held Zhou Ruocheng's shoulder, "Whose daughter is it?" ”

"One is the concubine of a merchant family in Jiangzhou and Jianghang, and the other is the steward who originally worked in Yang Suzhen's mansion." Zhou Ruocheng replied.

"There's a two-room wife?" Old Man Guo laughed again: "Yes, yes." patted Zhou Ruocheng on the shoulder.

"I'm going to be a dad in a few days." Zhou Ruocheng replied with a smile.

"Oh? Really? And our family Xingyu front and back, a good thing! I'm here to congratulate you in advance! Here, one more! Saying that, Old Man Guo brought the wine up again.

Zhou Ruocheng and Old Man Guo drank it again.

However, compared to Old Man Guo, who drank it all with his neck up, Zhou Ruocheng drank more slowly, after all, being able to drink and drinking fast are two different things.

Old Man Guo watched Zhou Ruocheng finish drinking the wine in the wine glass, and smiled again, "Okay!" Ha ha! Brother Zhou doesn't seem to be bragging! Ha ha. ”

"Old man, you are a massive." Zhou Ruocheng said with a smile.

"Haha, come on! Let's have a great time today! Old Man Guo said that he was going to pour the wine in the cup again.

"Father!" Guo Xiaomei, who was sitting on the side, spoke again.

Immediately, the two of them looked at her.

"You've had three drinks today, you can't drink any more." Guo Xiaomei said with a serious face.

"Uhhh The wine glass in Old Man Guo's hand also paused, and he didn't dare to pour it down.

"That's a bit of a disappointment, isn't it? How can you not drink more than you can enjoy? Zhou Ruocheng looked at Guo Xiaomei and asked.

"Do you want to see my father's blood pressure rise and some problems with drinking?" Guo Xiaomei looked at Zhou Ruocheng and asked, "Each meal is limited to three cups, this is already the bottom line!" ”

"Okay, it's rare to have a guest at home, so you can't make your father unhappy, right?" Guo Xingyu also persuaded on the side.

"No! Father's body comes first! Guo Xiaomei is still serious.

"Eh, I'm sorry, Brother Zhou. You see it too. Our family. "Old man Guo, even the Queen Mother dares to scold

was suppressed, which also shocked Zhou Ruocheng, Zhou Ruocheng also glanced at Guo Xiaomei again, this young girl doesn't want to have such courage.

"It's okay, it's okay, old man Guo, that's it, next time, you come to our house, I'll get you the most authentic Beijing wine." Although Zhou Ruocheng lowered his voice, he did not deliberately lower it, and the voice did reach Guo Xiaomei's ears.

"Really?" Old Man Guo's eyes lit up suddenly, but he saw his daughter's eyes with murderous intent, and he didn't change it anymore.

"When the time comes, you can drink as much as you want, as long as you want, I will match you with a few more beautiful girls to accompany you. Huh. Zhou Ruocheng continued.

"Mr. Zhou!" Here, Guo Xiaomei immediately spoke.

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, I'll whisper a few words to the old man, you just eat yours, don't worry about us." Zhou Ruocheng sent her away with a word.

Guo Xiaomei was also stunned for a moment, looking at Zhou Ruocheng who continued to "whisper" with Old Man Guo.

"I told you, you must keep your mood comfortable when you drink, so that you can drink comfortably, what about this little girl..."

"Mr. Zhou!!" Guo Xiaomei's voice suddenly rose several degrees.

"Huh?" Zhou Ruocheng turned around at this time.

"Please don't instigate my father, okay?" Guo Xiaomei's face darkened, and she looked at Zhou Ruochengdao directly.

"How can I be considered an instigator, besides, Old Man Guo is highly respected, and we juniors can instigate? At most, I can only put forward opinions, what about Old Man Guo, if you listen to it, if you don't listen to it, you don't listen, right, if Old Man Guo is even entangled in the words of our juniors, where is the face of this military commander? How could the soldiers be willing to listen? Zhou Ruocheng asked.

Guo Xingyu also heard it, where is Zhou Ruocheng talking about himself, this is also vaguely saying that Guo Xiaomei is in charge of a little too much.

"I know this body, do I not know this when I am so old as Mr. Guo? If a person is uncomfortable with what he can do, he simply does not want to do it. Zhou Ruocheng said with an indifferent face.

"That's right! That's the truth! Old man Guo also said.

Guo Xiaomei looked at Zhou Ruocheng with a shocked expression, and seemed to hear the meaning of Zhou Ruocheng's words.

It's different to talk to smart people, Zhou Ruocheng smiled in his heart, "That old man Guo, when will you go to our house to sit?" I introduce you to my family? ”

"Okay, that's enough!" Guo Xiaomei said suddenly.

Zhou Ruocheng and the others looked at Guo Xiaomei again.

"As long as you drink a moderate amount of wine, you can do the rest, father." Guo Xiaomei stood up and left the table.

"That's it?" Guo Xingyu looked at Guo Xiaomei who was leaving.

"Eat enough, lose weight." Guo Xiaomei didn't look back.

"Okay, Mr. Guo, let's continue, shall we?" Zhou Ruocheng took the initiative to pick up the wine glass this time and said to Old Man Guo.

Old Man Guo looked at Zhou Ruocheng and laughed again, "Just you kid, this queen mother is really blind and will give you away." ”

"Don't bring up the past again... Zhou Ruocheng said helplessly.

"Yes, yes, let's drink, drink, come! Brother Zhou! Let's go one more! Old Man Guo said as if he had untied his shackles, and raised the wine glass in his hand.

"Come on, come on!" Zhou Ruocheng also heroically sent his own cup.

Guo Xingyu smiled a little embarrassed, looking at this obedient guy who appeased his father, if he became this week, I have to say that he does have his own set.

In the darkness behind the crack in the door on one side, there was also a pair of sharp eyes, now staring at Zhou Ruocheng.

But Zhou Ruocheng can't feel it at all now.
