At the beginning of the lanterns, Zhang Ning came to Yang Shiqi's mansion as promised.

Yang Shiqi was born poor, withered at an early age, depended on his mother for his life, and taught before he entered high school, which also created his resolute character.

His youngest son Yang Ji went out of the house to greet him, took Zhang Ning's hand affectionately, and said, "Rare guest, rare guest, please." ”

Yang Ji is seven or eight points similar to his father, and his full heavenly court and tall nose are even more identical. He was about thirty-one or twelve years old, with two mustaches on his upper lip and a narrowed slit in his eyes when he smiled.

If Zhang Ning hadn't crossed by accident, in a few years, Yang Ji, who had been by Shoufu's father's side and was highly praised, would have killed someone after drinking, and this matter was used by Wang Zhen to force Yang Shiqi to leave the court. Now that Wang Zhen is dead, this incident probably won't happen, but if Yang Ji's love of wine and lust and impulsiveness are not changed, something will happen sooner or later.

Zhang Ning muttered to himself silently, and Yang Ji walked through the pavilions and came to the green grass garden. In the garden, a lady's candlestick is scattered on the ground, and the orange candle flame dances like a dancing dance, dancing on the palm of the lady's candlestick.

Under a tall and straight locust tree, there is a table of eight immortals, and there is an official hat chair next to each table, Yang Shiqi sat in the main seat, and when he saw Zhang Ning and Yang Ji coming over, he smiled and said, "Zhang Gongzi, please sit." ”

Incompetent. Is this a private party, not business-related? Zhang Ning muttered in his heart, stopped walking and saluted, "I've seen Lord Shoufu." ”

"No courtesy, sit down. Ah Ji, tell to go down and serve the food. Yang Shiqi said and pointed to the chair under his left hand and asked Zhang Ning to sit.

Just me? Zhang Ning was quite surprised, but he was not afraid.

Yang Ji sat down on Yang Shiqi's right side, and the two middle-aged servants who were waiting next to him began to serve the dishes, a total of four dishes, two meat and two vegetables, and the amount was very large.

No alcohol.

Zhang Ning doesn't understand, you invite me to drink, there is no wine on the dinner table, only four dishes, what kind of trouble is this?

The fatter servant brought three bowls of rice and put them in front of the three of them, which shocked Zhang Ning, and then understood that the guests had to be full. To fill people, there is no better than rice pasta. Yang Shiqi is a native of Taihe, Jiangxi, and mainly eats rice.

The servant woman withdrew, and for a moment no one spoke.

The good environment is in stark contrast to the ordinary dishes, which makes Zhang Ning speechless, so he can only wait and see the changes, thinking that Yang Shiqi will not ask him over for no reason.

Yang Ji put away his smile since he saw his father, and became expressionless, looking like he was not approached.

Yang Shiqi smiled, picked up the chopsticks, pointed to the four dishes on the table, and said: "The old man eats a lot, he has to eat three bowls of rice at each meal, he likes to eat meat, no meat is not happy, I invite you to come over today, I don't know your taste, so let the cook serve two more vegetarian dishes." ”

In other words, in the past, Yang Shiqi only had two plates of meat when he ate.

Zhang Ning looked at the two plates of meat on the table, one was chicken, about the size of a whole chicken, cut into pieces, and piled up; One is braised mutton, which is also sharp. One of the two dishes was cabbage, and the other was verdant and green, and Zhang Ning couldn't recognize what it was for a while.

"Xiaguan is not a picky eater." Zhang Ning retracted his gaze and said.

Frankly speaking, the dish is not bad, but it is extremely incompatible with his identity as the first assistant. But he's very calm, probably every time he treats him?

Yang Shiqi pointed to the plate of chicken and said, "The chef's specialty dish, you can taste it, and drink a bowl of chicken soup after eating, which is very comfortable." ”

Zhang Ning, who was sitting opposite Yang Ji, saw that as soon as his words fell, the corners of Yang Ji's mouth twitched, presumably from eating chicken to vomiting. Holding back a smile, Zhang Ning sandwiched a piece of chicken, unfortunately, it was a chicken breast that would have been very chai, and when he took a bite, unexpectedly, the chicken skin was crispy, the chicken was tender, and after chewing twice, his mouth was full of sweetness.

"It's delicious." Zhang Ning was full of praise. The more ordinary the ingredients, the more they show the cooking skills of the chef, and sure enough, it is true.

"Hahaha, a three-pound chicken, the old man can eat one at a meal." Yang Shiqi laughed heartily, laughed, and said: "I heard that Zhang Gongzi is not married yet, and the old man has a granddaughter, who is beautiful and reads history at a young age, but he doesn't like female celebrities very much." You are very angry with the old man, and the old man wants to take his granddaughter as his wife, what do you think? ”

"What?" The style of painting took a sharp turn for the worse, so that Zhang Ning couldn't react for a while.

Yang Ji, who had been silent, interjected: "Who doesn't know that Lord Zhang intends to stabilize the county lord?" Father, don't bring shame on yourself. ”

"Shut up, you know what." Yang Shiqi glared at his son and reprimanded.

Yang Ji pursed his lips and didn't dare to say more.

He didn't move his chopsticks, so he must not be cold to the food on the table. For a person who likes to drink, not having wine is the biggest torture, and he just serves white rice. Zhang Ning was a little curious about the daily life of the father and son, and he smiled a little when he looked at Yang Ji.

Yang Ji looked down at the bowl in front of him and didn't notice it.

"Marriage is a big event, and the kid can't be the master." Zhang Ning dodged.

Although Shoufu's family style must be good, Zhang Ning can't accept it when he talks about marriage with a woman he has never met, not to mention that he is leisurely and doesn't want to miss it again.

You can't let Yang Shoufu's granddaughter be a concubine, right? Well, if it's a concubine, I don't mind. Zhang Ning muttered to himself silently.

Yang Shiqi said: "What's so difficult about this, the old man repaired a book, and sent it to Datong, and he didn't shirk if he wanted to come to An Xiangbo." ”

To be able to marry the head of the dynasty, it is estimated that Daniel Zhang will not object.

If that's the case, the family affair with Youyou in this life will come to an end again. Zhang Ning hurriedly said: "The kid and the Empress Dowager have a three-year appointment. ”

Yang Shiqi Chengzhu smiled in his chest: "This is easy, the old man will tell the Empress Dowager, the agreed matter will be stopped, and the Empress Dowager will still give the old man this face." ”

This time it's Zhang Ning's turn to twitch the corners of his mouth, can you not do it so badly?

Yang Shiqi turned his head to Yang Ji and said, "Go and call Rong'er out." ”

Yang Ji replied expressionlessly: "Yes." He turned around and walked away, and came back after a while, thinking that he wanted the servant to invite Yang Rong'er.

"Come, come, eat." After Yang Shiqi greeted Zhang Ning, he ate by himself.

Zhang Ning had no choice but to pick up the dishes and chopsticks.

When a bowl of rice was almost finished, the sound of small footsteps was getting closer and closer, Zhang Ning looked up, and saw a beautiful and tall girl dressed in goose yellow clothes. When he came to the table, he saluted: "Meet grandfather, see uncle." ”

Yang Ji nodded.

Yang Shiqi had already eaten the second bowl of rice, and when he saw his granddaughter coming, he stopped his chopsticks and said, "Sit down." ”

Yang Rong'er glanced at Zhang Ning, who was on the left side, as if she was curious why there was a strange young man here.

"This is Zhang Gongzi, I want to marry you to him, are you agreeable?" Yang Shiqi said.

Zhang Ning and Yang Rong'er were startled at the same time, glanced at each other, stared at each other in the air, and both smiled.

Yang Rong'er said: "This Zhang Gongzi is so handsome. ”

"Huh? Don't mess around. Yang Shiqi was a little helpless, obviously doting on this granddaughter.
