And they went into the house and sat down.

Meng Shi looked at Song Lin carefully, as Song Wanyue said, he was indeed a talent, tall and mighty, better than his own appearance, and nodded with satisfaction.

"You have worked hard all the way, and you should have been allowed to rest first, but today is your grandfather's birthday, and there are many guests in the house, you as your aunt and grandson can't help but attend, but you don't have to be afraid, do what you should do in your hometown here, don't cater to anyone, and don't feel that you are shorter than anyone."

Song Lin's anxious heart calmed down with Meng's gentle voice, and he dared to look up at Meng's family, "Mother-in-law, don't worry, I won't embarrass you." ”

Meng Shi waved his hand, "If it weren't for you back then, Wan'er still doesn't know what would have happened, in my eyes, no one can compare to you, let alone be ashamed, you just do according to the rules of your country, and you can say whatever others want, don't pay attention to it." ”

Not only did he not have the expected difficulty, but he was also valued so much by his mother-in-law, Song Lin didn't know what to say, just nodded vigorously.

Meng said, "Mama Wu, go and tell Yan'er, just say that your uncle has arrived, and let him arrange another table to entertain your uncle." ”

Mama Wu should be, go out quickly, not long, the yard remembered the sound of footsteps, and then the door curtain was lifted by Mama Wu, Xu Yan walked in, and his eyes fell on Song Lin.

"It's your big brother."

Meng Shi introduced.

Song Lin hurriedly stood up, "Big, big brother." ”

Xu Yan walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Accompany the eldest brother for a few drinks in a while." ”

The corners of Song Lin's mouth opened an arc, and the tension that had just risen instantly subsided, "Listen to the eldest brother." ”

Xu Yan patted him on the shoulder again and turned to Meng Shi, "Mother, the banquet is about to start, let's go over." ”

Meng got up, Xu and Mama Wu stepped forward to help, and she instructed as she walked, "Your grandfather is happy today, he must drink, you have to take care of it, don't let him drink too much, it's not good for your health." ”

"My son remembered."

Song Wanyue and Gu Yi walked last.

Thinking of the scene when Gu Yi drank a few sips of wine and turned her head drunk, she rolled her eyes a few times and said, "Grandmother, let me follow, I can help my uncle watch my great-grandfather." ”

"It's fine."

Xu Yan took Song Lin and Gu Yi, and Song Wanyue walked through the courtyard where the guests were entertained, and the eyes of the people in the courtyard looked over one after another, and saw that Song Lin was wearing muslin clothes and had dark skin, so they guessed his identity and immediately started to discuss.

Xu Yan simply stopped and introduced to everyone, "This is my brother-in-law, Song Lin, who just came from his hometown. ”

It's true, everyone's discussion is louder.

Song Lin became nervous again, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

"My sister disappeared many years ago, thanks to my brother-in-law who saved her, for us, my brother-in-law is the benefactor of our whole family and our guest today."

Xu Yan's words fell, and the discussion became quieter.

Xu Yan nodded to everyone and led a few people to the old man's house.

Dingguo Gong was also in the house, talking to the old gentleman.

As soon as Xu Yan led the people into the door, the two looked over.

Seeing Song Lin, who was somewhat similar to Song Wanyue's eyebrows, a smile welled up on the old gentleman's face, "Song Lin, come, let my grandfather take a good look." ”

Song Lin hurriedly walked a few steps, and when he reached the old gentleman, he knelt down and knocked his head on the ground, "Song Lin has seen grandfather." ”

"Good boy, get up, get up."

The old gentleman personally bent down to support, and Song Lin stood up with his movements, his body straight.

The old gentleman nodded with satisfaction, "It's been hard work all the way, stay with me for a few more drinks." ”

"Listen to grandfather."

"This is Dingguo Gong, Miss Xiao's grandfather."

Song Lin hurriedly saluted, and Ding Guogong supported him with both hands, "It's all a family, so these false gifts will be waived." ”

……

When the hour came, the feast began.

The old gentleman and the others went over to sit down, and before they could pick up the chopsticks, Xu Liang came in, "Old gentleman, Qi Guogong is here." ”

There was silence in the room.

Qi Guogong and Dingguo Gong have never dealt with each other, and they avoid it when they can avoid it on various occasions, like now, when they know that Dingguo Gong is there, he still comes over.

"Please."

Xu Liang went out and invited Dingguo Gong in.

"Sir, you're favoring one over the other."

Qi Guogong has a meaning.

"Grandpa Guo said with a smile, you also know that the Dingguo Mansion and we are relatives who are cornering, so we invited him to come in to accompany you, if you don't dislike it, please sit down together."

"Then I'll be respectful and obey."

Qi Guogong sat down on the other side of the old gentleman, right next to Gu Yi.

Gu Yi moved the stool and moved towards Song Wanyue's side, his disgusted expression revealed.

Dingguo Gong's face was a little unbearable, but when he thought of the purpose of coming in, he pressed down this embarrassment again.

First raised the wine glass to the old man, "I wish you ......"

"My grandmother said that my great-grandfather was too old to drink."

Gu Yi interrupted him without any scruples.

Qi Guogong's face was a little dark, this wine is not a toast, nor is it disrespectful.

"Nothing, nothing."

The old gentleman smiled and played a round game, and first dried the wine in his cup, "My old bones are quite tough, it's no problem to drink a few glasses." ”

Qi Guogong also dried the wine in his cup, so as to suppress his emotions, and his expression had returned to normal after putting down the wine glass.

"The old gentleman doesn't know that your great-grandson-in-law is dissatisfied with me, so that's why he treats me like this."

The old gentleman apparently didn't know.

Dingguo Gong told him about the events of that day in the main hall, and when he said it, he had been looking at Ding Guogong inadvertently, especially when he proposed to let Gu Yi go to the Jinluan Palace, his eyes were even more staring at Dingguo Gong, wanting to see something from his face.

Ding Guogong's expression was faint, so that people couldn't see any emotion.

Qi Guogong retracted his gaze, "I am also thinking about the court, I hope the old gentleman will not blame." ”

The old gentleman waved his hand, "Grandpa Guo did the right thing, and the matter should be investigated clearly, so that Song Si will become an official in the future and avoid being criticized." ”

"That's exactly what I think, or the old gentleman understands me."

As he spoke, Qi Guogong raised his glass again, remembering the embarrassment that Gu Yi had given him just now, and changed his words, "I did it, old gentleman at will." ”

The old gentleman also drank it all, and the maid waiting next to him immediately stepped forward to fill it for the two of them.

The old gentleman picked up the chopsticks and motioned for everyone to eat.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit dreary.

Qi Guogong didn't seem to feel it, put down his chopsticks after eating a few bites of food, looked at Song Lin, and asked coldly, "Your son-in-law didn't look like this, did he?" ”

Ding Guogong's pupils contracted a few times rapidly, and he couldn't help but want to speak, seeing Gu Yi's expression naturally eating the food, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
