Chapter Ninety-Nine: Attending a Banquet
"Jiu'er, I thought that Young Master Zeng probably wanted to invite you to dinner, you should dress better tonight, don't embarrass yourself, go and speak carefully, don't be so vulgar." Zhao took Lin Jiu's hand and explained one by one.
"Mother, don't be blind. Heart, I guess Zeng Yixian should have something to say to me. Lin Jiu said casually.
"I went out with Grandma Zheng for a while today, and I saw that Young Master Zeng on the street, and that Young Master Zeng was very handsome." Zhao happened to see Zeng Yixian today, and when he heard that Zeng Yixian had no one he liked, he had some other thoughts in his heart.
"Where is Jun, people call it beauty, Zeng Yixian looks more beautiful than women." Lin Jiu hadn't heard the meaning of Zhao's words at this time, but simply commented on Zeng Yixian's beauty.
Zhao glanced at Lin Jiu's expression, and then asked, "Jiu'er, how is Young Master Zeng's character?" ”
"Not bad." Lin Jiu's eyes turned to Zhao's body, raised his eyebrows and said, "Mother, why are you asking this?" ”
"Nothing, just asking." Zhao looked left and right and found that his daughter didn't have that mind, so he didn't ask anymore.
Lin Jiu sighed and didn't think much about it.
"Jiu'er, after the New Year, you will be seventeen." Zhao looked at Lin Jiu's delicate face, and somehow, felt a little reluctant.
Lin Jiu's eyelids jumped, and he frowned: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Most of the women are engaged at the age of seventeen, and you don't even have a master." Zhao Shi took Lin Jiu's hand and said.
"Mother, what are you thinking? I don't want to get married, besides, if I do, what will you do? As soon as Lin Jiu heard Zhao say this, his brain hurt.
"What's the matter, how can you not get married?" Although the Zhao family is reluctant to marry her daughter, she has to take care of this matter when it comes to age.
"Oops." Lin Jiu touched his head, frowned, and said, "Mother, if you talk about this topic again, I will run away from home and never come back." ”
Zhao wanted to say something, but as soon as she heard this, she didn't say it again, because she knew Lin Jiu's temperament, what she said and what she did, "Okay, okay, my mother won't say it." ”
Somehow, Lin Jiu suddenly thought of her past life, in her previous life, she was also a female bachelor, but at that time, she had no father or mother, no one to take care of, she was as free as she wanted, but she didn't expect to encounter this incident when she crossed over here.
After that, Zhao chatted with Lin Jiu casually, and seeing that Lin Jiu was not very interested, he didn't dare to ask more, and he didn't dare to say more, so he let Lin Jiu have a good idea, so he went to sit with Grandma Zheng next door.
As soon as she entered the door, Grandma Zheng saw at a glance that Zhao was not very happy, and hurriedly pulled Zhao and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Grandma Zheng, I'm worried, Jiu'er is seventeen years old, I just told her about getting married, and she got angry and ignored me." Zhao said with a frown.
Grandma Zheng chuckled, she thought what was the matter, "What's there to worry about, I don't think Jiu'er is enlightened in that regard, if you do, you don't have to worry, Jiu'er will find it herself." ”
"I'm not afraid she won't look at people." Zhao married a Lin Hai in her life, and suffered for decades, her greatest wish was to let Lin Jiu find a good family, and she couldn't follow in her footsteps.
"I see you, you're blind. Heart. Grandma Zheng patted the back of Zhao's hand and soothed: "Jiu'er is doing business outside, and there must be many people she has made friends, so she will naturally not look away, don't worry." ”
Zhao thought about it, but she still couldn't help but worry.
Here, Lin Jiu didn't rest assured about what the Zhao family said, she now wants silver and silver, and it is useless and troublesome to ask for a man, so she naturally won't rest assured about it.
Lin Jiu was full of thoughts about what kind of play Zeng Yixian was singing to her, invite her to dinner, no matter what, she had to get a gift or something, Lin Jiu thought about it, and felt that the two bottles of wine in her space were good.
Then Lin Jiu immediately went out and bought two one-pound small wine cans on the street, her wine was given to Zeng Yixian, but the wine bottle can't, the wine bottle is too advanced, and it will cause trouble if others see it.
Lin Jiu took the two wine cans back to the room, then took out the rice wine from the space, poured it into the wine cans, and just closed the lid of the wine cans, her door rang again.
"Don't knock, come in." Lin Jiu said lightly.
Yin Zidu saw Lin Jiu carrying something back to the house just now, so he immediately followed, "Lin Jiu, what did you do just now?" ”
"I buy things." Lin Jiu put a wine jar aside.
Yin Zidu walked into Lin Jiu's house and sniffled. I moved, and asked curiously, "What does this smell like?" It smells pretty good. ”
"Dognose." However, Lin Jiu didn't tell Yin Zi what it was, but she was going to give it away in a while, if she told Yin Zidu, Yin Zidu designated it for her to rob.
"I'm going to Zeng Yixian's mansion in a while, will you go?" Lin Jiu didn't wait for Yin Zidu to ask again, so he immediately changed the topic.
"Of course, I don't have anything to do anyway." As soon as Yin Zidu heard Lin Jiu's words, he immediately responded.
After the two chatted casually in the room for a while, the carriage of the Zeng family to pick them up outside the door came, and Lin Jiu got into the carriage of the Zeng family with two bottles of wine and Yin Zi and was pulled away.
Lin Jiu and Yin Zi both went out one after the other, and were seen by Chu Linghui, Zheng Jiadong, who knew how to read in Chu Linghui's room, suddenly shuddered, and suddenly felt that the west wing room had become cold.
Here, Lin Jiu and Yin Zi both came to Zeng's house in the Zeng family's carriage, and when they got out of the carriage, they saw Zeng Yixian greeting the guests at the gate of Zeng's mansion.
Zeng Yixian was very happy when he saw Lin Jiu coming, "Lin Jiu, you are here, please come inside." ”
"Don't worry, I brought you a gift." As he spoke, Lin Jiu gave the two small wine jars in his hand to Zeng Yixian, and winked at Zeng Yixian, "I brewed it myself, you can cherish it." ”
Zeng Yixian smiled and nodded, gave the wine jar to his most powerful servant Xiaoyu, and then took Lin Jiu and Yin Zi into the gate of Zeng's mansion.
"Young Master Zeng, I'll bring my friend here, and it won't hinder you." Lin Jiu walked beside Zeng Yixian and said very politely.
After Lin Jiu said this, Zeng Yixian found Yin Zidu walking behind Lin Jiu, and hurriedly said: "Brother Zidu, I'm sorry, I just saw you." ”
"It's okay, I originally followed Lin Jiu to eat." Yin Zi waved his hand indifferently, but how could he think that Zeng Yixian's eyes were not quite right when he looked at Lin Jiu.
Zeng Yixian said a few sorry in a row, Yin Zi is a big man, he can't be offended.
"Young Master Zeng, you're welcome, we're all our own people." Lin Jiu listened to Zeng Yixian's trouble, and hurriedly stopped.
Zeng Yixian nodded embarrassedly, and then said, "We are indeed a family, so today's banquet is for you." ”
"For me?" Lin Jiu was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a long time.
Yin Zi looked at Zeng Yixian, frowned, he was a fool, and he could also see that Zeng Yixian was interested in Lin Jiu at this time.
"You are now tied to my Zeng family in the same boat, I naturally have to introduce you to the various shopkeepers, if you have anything in the future, it can also be convenient for you." Zeng Yixian did hold this banquet for Lin Hai on purpose, and he didn't dare to tell Lin Jiu in advance, for fear that Lin Jiu would not come, so he made a prelude.
"Don't be so troublesome, I can just come to you if I have something." Lin Jiu didn't like the help of kidnapping the clan like this, but Zeng Yixian was now her owner no matter what she said, and she couldn't turn her face with Zeng Yixian at this time. "In case I'm not there, let's go, I'll take you to the front room to introduce some people to you." Zeng Yixian didn't notice the slightest unhappiness in Lin Jiu's words, and only said very happily.
Lin Jiu responded lightly, glanced at Yin Zidu behind him, and then followed Zeng Yixian to the front hall of Zeng's mansion.
There were already a lot of people sitting in the front hall, Lin Jiu raised her eyelids and took a look, not to mention that there were more than twenty people, but she was the only one who was a woman.
After that, Zeng Yixian took two glasses of wine from the handmaid on the side, and after giving Lin Jiu a glass, he took Lin Jiu to introduce them one by one, the first one was the shopkeeper Wang, the shopkeeper Wang smiled and touched a glass with Lin Jiu, "Lin girl, I didn't mistake you from the beginning." ”
"Uncle Wang, I was lucky to meet you at the beginning." Lin Jiu smiled and drank the wine in his hand.
As soon as Yin Zidu entered the door, he sat in the corner of the hall, looking at Zeng Yixian and Lin Jiu with a depressed expression.
