Chapter 121: The Hongmen Banquet
Back at Ming's house, Ming Yihan stood at the door hesitating and didn't enter, Du Nianqing looked at him, "What's wrong?" ”
"Don't talk later." Ming Yihan said.
"I don't speak?" She was embarrassed the last time she didn't speak.
Ming Yihan didn't wait for her to finish, he led her in, Uncle Bao stood at the entrance of the living room and saw Ming Yihan coming back, "Third Young Master, Mr. said that you are back, let you go to Xue's house for dinner." ”
"Go to Xue's house?" Ming Yihan frowned, he probably had thought of something.
Du Nianqing glanced at him, "Then let's go." ”
"Let's do it together!" Ming Yihan held her, and Du Nianqing refused: "It's good for you to go, it's not good for the two of us to appear in the Xue family together." ”
Ming Yihan leaned into her ear and whispered, "To do a show, you have to do enough." ”
“......”
Then you can't be so cheeky to go to other people's territory to declare, right? What's more, it's still in front of the Xue family!
In the end, Du Nianqing couldn't help refusing again, and dragged her away.
Du Nianqing sat in the car and was uneasy, and Ming Yi glanced at her, "Do you have lice?" ”
"My dad went to find Old Man Xue and can still eat there, which means that they must have negotiated, this is a Hongmen banquet, anyway, Old Man Xue already knows about your existence, and only by bringing you can you play a good show."
Since he said so, Du Nianqing no longer refutes anything.
When he arrived at Xue's house, Uncle Chen came out to greet him, and when he saw Du Nianqing, he was still a little stunned.
Several people have already sat at the dinner table, except for Ming Shengtang, Ming Yixuan is also there, when they saw the two of them coming together, they admired Ming Yihan in their hearts, they were so courageous!
Xue Siya saw Du Nianqing and Ming Yihan attending together, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she still remained calm, Old Man Xue sneered, Ming Shengtang looked at the two and frowned, and then looked at Old Man Xue's expression.
"Since the two of you are here together, let's both come and sit!" Old Man Xue said, "Old Chen, add a chair." ”
"Yes."
Ming Yihan led Du Nianqing into the seat, and gentlemanly pulled out a chair for her, Xue Siya secretly glanced at him, he didn't look at her at all, was he still angry with her?
"Shengtang, I think this girl should be good, it's good to be with the third child of your family." Old Man Xue said deliberately, with sarcasm in his tone, "Since we are together, let's get along well, don't separate." ”
Xue Siya lowered her head and picked up the dishes, but secretly listened to Old Man Xue.
Ming Yihan chuckled, "Master Xue really loves to worry a lot, don't worry, we will definitely get along very well, as long as she is willing, we can get married immediately." ”
Du Nianqing was stunned, but she didn't speak, anyway, this guy played on the spot, and he didn't discuss it with her.
Xue Siya frowned, she secretly glanced at Du Nianqing, she obviously promised her to facilitate her and Ming Yihan, how did the heroine become her in the end?
Ming Shengtang stared at him, and he could tell that he was deliberately saying this to Old Man Xue.
"Ahem, Xiaohan, marriage is not only a matter between the two of you, but also between two families, you can't just let your children say yes." Ming Shengtang debunked him on the spot.
Old Man Xue answered, "Shengtang, this is the relationship between children, not something that an old antique like you and me can manage." ”
Xue Siya heard the sarcasm in Old Man Xue's words, and she felt that if she continued like this, Ming Yihan would be even less likely to like her.
Du Nianqing interpreted in his heart that sure enough, the grievances of wealthy families are reasonable no matter what time they are, and they have never disappeared from ancient times to the present.
"Indeed, it's really someone from here, I think Master Xue should be more experienced than anyone else in this kind of thing." Ming Yihan chuckled and glanced at Old Man Xue.
"Xiao Han!" Ming Shengtang frowned and scolded in a low voice, he had really changed a lot, "Elder Xue is an elder, how can you talk to an elder like this?" ”
"Am I not telling the truth?" Ming Yihan didn't mean to change his words at all.
Ming Yixuan also raised his eyes and glanced at him, he felt that the atmosphere tonight was indeed a little wrong, and the third child would indeed speak more tonight than usual.
"Hehe, Xiao Han's words are really getting more and more interesting!" Old Man Xue laughed out loud instead, "It's much more interesting than when I was a child!" I didn't expect you to remember my experience when I was young so clearly! ”
"Of course! After all, for as long as I can remember, Master Xue has been a big man! Or my childhood role model! Ming Yihan said.
Old Man Xue raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "I really didn't see that you could still see me as a role model when you were a child!" ”
"Of course! My mother often told me about the legendary deeds of your youth, Master Xue, and I couldn't help but be full of reverence for you. Ming Yihan narrowed his eyes and curled the corners of his lips sarcastically.
"Huh." Old Man Xue stared at him.
"Where is this Miss She from?" Old Man Xue began to shift the topic to Du Nianqing, looking at her with a peaceful smile.
On the contrary, this smile made Du Nianqing feel even more panicked than when he wasn't smiling.
"I'm a local, but I left with my family very early." Du Nianqing replied with a smile.
Old Man Xue nodded, "Oh, it turns out that Miss Yu is also a local!" What do your parents do in Shanghai? ”
"My parents, they quit their jobs early and went out to play in the mountains and rivers!" This is what she said to the outside world after she crossed over here.
"Hahaha, then your parents really know how to enjoy it! You look about the same age as Siya! ”
Now as long as Old Man Xue smiles more peacefully, the more Du Nianqing feels cheating.
"yes." Du Nianqing bowed his head slightly.
Old Man Xue said: "What a good girl! ”
Du Nianqing smiled, and Ming Yixuan also didn't understand Old Man Xue's operation.
Xue Siya heard Old Man Xue praise Du Nianqing, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
Old Man Xue suddenly became serious and said, "Xiaoya, do you have anything to say to Miss You." ”
Du Nianqing was stunned for a moment and said to her? Xue Siya also glanced at Old Man Xue, she bit her lip and said reluctantly: "Oh, I know, I'm sorry, Miss Yi!" Last time, you were almost insulted by Liang Fuchen, it was my poor consideration, it was my fault! I'm sorry! ”
"No, it's okay, this matter has passed, and there are no serious consequences." Du Nianqing smiled.
Only Ming Yixuan was a little confused, how could he not understand what they were saying? What does it mean that she was almost insulted by Liang Fuchen? Liang Fuchen? That deputy hall master of the Zeng family?
"Anyway, this matter is indeed something Xiaoya did wrong, and I hope that Miss Yi can have a lot of adults, and don't worry about her." Old Man Xue continued.
Du Nianqing shook his head again and again, "Of course not, this incident is an accident, and no one can predict it." ”
"Miss Yi is such a kind-hearted girl." Old Man Xue turned to look at Ming Shengtang again: "Shengtang, in fact, this girl is indeed a good candidate for daughter-in-law!" ”
Ming Shengtang just smiled cooperatively, Xue Siya lowered her head and bit her lip, a little unconvinced, what does her grandfather mean by this? Is this making do with the two of them?
Ming Yihan narrowed his eyes, what is this old man planning?
"Xiao Han, you are so blessed!" Old Man Xue said.
Ming Yihan chuckled, "Whether there is a blessing or not, I can't say yet." ”
Anyway, he just didn't follow Old Man Xue's meaning to answer.
Old Man Xue smiled, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and suddenly said, "Xiao Xuan." ”
"Huh?" Ming Yixuan, who was still listening to them, raised his head instantly.
"Didn't you say last time that you wanted to see my "Luo Shen Futu" here? How about staying and enjoying the paintings after dinner? ”
Ming Yixuan grinned, "Really? If you have the privilege of appreciating "Luo Shen Futu", it is of course the best! ”
Of course, he also knew in his heart that Old Man Xue asked him to look at the paintings, so it was not the purpose of this simple painting appreciation.
"Does Miss Yi know how to draw? Why don't you stay and enjoy the paintings together? Old Man Xue looked at Du Nianqing.
"......" why cue her again?
"Since Master Xue has the heart to invite, then I naturally can't refuse!" There's no room for her to refuse! It's clear that the attention is fixed on her!
Ming Shengtang also looked at her twice, but he didn't say anything.
"Good!"
After the meal, Ming Yihan, Du Nianqing and Ming Yixuan, and Xue Siya all followed Old Man Xue to the study, looking at the "Luo Shen Fu Tu" hanging on the wall, Old Man Xue said: "I think you young people should have more opinions on this painting, right?" ”
"In fact, this painting also records all the emotions of Cao Zhi when he saw Luo Shen at that time, as well as the regret for the love between Luo Shen and Cao Zhi, plus the fantasy of Gu Kaizhi, a painter in the Eastern Jin Dynasty." Ming Yixuan looked at the painting and said.
Old Man Xue smiled, he looked at Du Nianqing again, and said, "Miss Yi, what do you think?" ”
"Actually, I'm not a professional ......," Du Nianqing smiled awkwardly.
"It's okay! Tell us what you think of the painting! You don't have to be a professional to make an evaluation! There are no such rules! Old Man Xue said.
Du Nianqing couldn't shirk anymore, she looked at the painting, in fact, she had this painting in her good relationship shop, and she had seen it before, Ming Yihan looked at her, she said: "Actually, I think it, ancient people may be more sensitive, and their imagination is very rich!" In fact, the relationship between Cao Zhi and Luo Shen may not be real, just like what Ming Ershao said, there are also many imaginations of later generations through Cao Zhi's poems, and the same is true of this "Luo Shen Fu Tu", the whole painting is imagined by Gu Kaizhi by borrowing from the poems. ”
Old Man Xue looked at her, "Do you really think so?" ”
"That's right! But this is my personal opinion, I am not professional, I just say my understanding from what I know! Du Nianqing hurriedly said, she always felt that Old Man Xue paid so much attention to her opinion, which made her really unbearable.
