"I know that the four princes are busy with official business, but the insiders know that the four princes and Master Su are coming, and they want me to invite the two of them to have a light meal and fulfill the friendship of the landlord."

Governor Du's fair face was covered with red clouds at this time, and he said this sentence in great embarrassment, and hurriedly made up for it after speaking, "I know that the fourth prince is in a hurry, if it is inconvenient, then this meal at noon today is... Or..."

Speaking of this, Du Zhongqiu seemed to think of something, and finally changed his words, "Why don't you take the time to go." My lady has already informed the top and bottom of this Dingtao Mansion, and everyone is looking forward to it. ”

Su Zijin looked at Qin Jing amusedly, and said, "What can I do about this?" We have been delayed in Pingqiu for too long, and now is the time to set off earlier, after all, there is not much time, and we still have a county capital to go to. ”

When Governor Du heard this, his face turned even redder, as if he was annoyed by his incompetence and strength, and his mouth was even more remarkable, "Then forget it, you can't delay the business." You can not go to this meal at noon. My lady has to feast her colleagues in the government every year, and if you don't go at noon, you won't delay anything. ”

Qin Jing glanced at Su Zijin, who had a bad taste, and coughed lightly, "It's just half a day, and it won't delay anything." ”

Du Zhongqiu was greatly relieved when he saw that the fourth prince was relieved, as if he had completed an important task, "Then I won't bother you, I'll come over again at noon to invite you." ”

Seeing Du Zhifu leave in a hurry, Su Zijin couldn't help laughing, "I don't know what Du Zhifu's wife looks like, she can make Du Zhifu so, um..., respect." ”

Su Zijin originally wanted to use the word "afraid", but it was not very good to think about it, if he let Du Zhifu know, he was afraid that he would not be happy, and Du Zhifu's wife would not be happy.

Qin Jing looked at Su Zijin, "What does it look like, I'll see it later." It's you, hurry to Jiami Mansion in the afternoon, the distance between the two provinces is not far, it's better to take a carriage. ”

Su Zijin shook his head, "Let's ride a horse, it's cold in such weather, it's better to get to Jiami quickly, and settle down quickly." ”

Qin Jing looked at Su Zijin, who was usually easy to talk to, but always insisted on some things, and couldn't help but raise his hand and rub her head, "Then listen to you, hurry up, there should be hope to arrive before dark." ”

At noon, in a house behind the government office, it was very lively, the subordinate officials of the prefect, the officials, the inspection, the post officer, the tax tax, the government servant, came one after another, and the residents next to the house saw that they were not shocked from the beginning of the surprise to the current waves, and occasionally walked to meet, and they could easily say hello, "Yo, it's the end of the year." "yes."

Su Zijin and Qin Jing took Xiyan and Hou Yi, followed Du Zhifu, and entered the lively courtyard The moment they entered the lively courtyard, the lively atmosphere instantly froze, and then everyone greeted warmly, "Four princes, Su Shenling." ”

In some places, Su Zijin is called from Su Shen Ling and then to Miss Su, which is a subtle change. Only Dingtao is here, and it has always been Su Shenling, and there is no overstepping, and there is no side meaning, which makes Su Zijin feel very comfortable.

"You're busy with yourselves, don't worry about us."

Qin Jing opened his mouth and followed Du Zhifu to the top of the main hall.

The people in the courtyard continued to be busy, and above the main hall, two large round tables had been erected, and a Qingli woman was busy with the maid, and when she saw that Du Zhifu brought people in, she hurriedly greeted her, "Husband." ”

Governor Du took the opportunity to introduce to everyone, "Madam, this is the fourth prince and Su Shenling." ”

"The fourth prince, Su Shenling, this is my wife."

"The concubine is Ma's, and I have seen the four princes, Su Shenling."

"Mrs. Ma doesn't have to be polite."

Qin Jing raised his hand, and under the greeting of the two couples, he naturally sat on the top, Su Zijin was beside Qin Jing, and his eyes unconsciously fell on Mrs. Ma.

Su Zijin hated looking at others, so he just glanced at it vaguely, but he might as well be looked at by Mrs. Ma, the two looked at each other and smiled, Su Zijin looked away.

Mrs. Ma looks at her appearance, she seems to be a little older than Du Zhifu, but the big one is not the sense of age, but the eyes are firm, and she looks much more serious than Du Zhifu.

Everyone naturally toasted Qin Jing first, and then opened the banquet, these days, everyone has dealt with each other more or less, although cramped, but it is still relatively natural, only the post guard in the original post station, at this time a little shrunk, glanced at Qin Jing and Su Zijin, then shrank beside the old Yicheng, and kept chattering, "Good girl, it turned out to be the prince, no wonder." ”

Seeing that the post guard was unproductive, Yi Cheng stepped on it and made him a little more natural, the departments next to the yamen were all generous, and only he was so embarrassed as a post station. Which post guard was too nervous, was stepped on by the post man, and jumped straight up, "There are mice?!" ”

Mrs. Ma, Du Zhifu was at Qin Jing's table, and when she saw the people on the table next to her jumping up, Du Zhifu hurriedly looked over, "Where, where are the mice?" ”

Mrs. Ma calmly grabbed her husband and looked at Yicheng, "Speaking of which, in our Dingtao Mansion, Zhang Yicheng and Zhang Yicheng were the first to come into contact with the four princes. ”

Old Man Zhang smiled a little embarrassed and a little calmly, and stood up with a blushing postman, "That's what Madame said." ”

"Fourth prince, Master Su and Xiao Lao'er are not in the stream, it is our honor to be lucky to see a noble person and greet you for one night. If you go, I'm afraid that the little old man will never see you again in this life, but I will always remember in my heart that in the future, together with my grandchildren, I can also brag, saying that I have entertained the nobles, and I also toasted with the nobles. ”

As he spoke, he took the post guard to raise the wine glass, Su Zijin and Qin Jing also got up and picked up the wine glass, "This line is from the capital to Yanzhou, Zhang Yicheng does not say anything else, he is loyal to his duties, and his duty of due diligence is worthy of it, and my good impression of Dingtao also started from Zhang Yicheng." The vast land, we can meet, it is fate, this cup, including everyone present, let's respect our dedication. ”

Everyone got up and raised their wine glasses, this glass, more powerful than the toast just now, everyone looked up and down, and their faces couldn't stop laughing.

Su Zijin is not good at drinking, in the past, he just took a sip, but this time it was also a heroic cup and poured into his mouth.

This is a simple coarse tea and light rice, but the guests and hosts are happy. came over at noon to go to the banquet, and at noon it was a quarter of an hour later, and everyone dispersed in three or five, Su Zijin and Qin Jing also turned over and got on their horses, and said goodbye to Du Zhifu and Mrs. Ma who were at the door of the house.

Su Zijin looked at the couple who were supporting each other and couldn't help asking.

"Master Du is a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and I don't know if we can see each other in the capital in the future."

Du Zhongqiu's face relaxed with wine, and he looked at Qin Jing and Su Zijin, "I think it may be a few more years." ”

Qin Jing and Su Zijin smiled when they heard this, "Farewell!" ”
