Chapter 302: Apprenticeship 2nd Shift

The content of this book on the art of war is something he has never seen before, not only has an amazing plan, but also an unexpected stroke of genius, as well as an amazing arrangement, he only glanced at it at random, and he couldn't put it down, his eyes couldn't wait to stick to it, if it wasn't for the apprenticeship process had not been completed, he wanted to leave everything behind and hurry back to the study to study.

Others can't see the content, but they can feel Sun Yu's excitement and joy, what kind of precious book can make him excited like that?

Not only did the visitors scratch their ears and lungs, but if the Sun family didn't care about the image, they would all want to come up and take a look.

Sun Shangshu is old and serious, and he was originally very stable, but seeing his son so out of shape, he was stunned to arouse his curiosity, as the eldest parent, he didn't need to worry about anything, coughed, and gave his son a self-aware look, Sun Yu immediately obediently handed over the book that had not yet been hot.

He didn't forget to remind in a complaining tone, "Father, son is just starting to watch ......"

If he doesn't finish reading it, he will be hooked and won't be able to sleep tonight.

Sun Shangshu understood his hints, but unfortunately, relying on Lao Tzu's identity, he was completely indifferent, and opened it curiously and looked at it a few times, and his expression became solemn.

He looked at Xu Huaiyi and had a lot of things to ask, but in front of everyone, some things were inconvenient to say directly, so he had to be patient for the time being.

When everyone saw this, their hearts itched even more, what kind of book is it, even Sun Shangshu treats it so solemnly?

Only Xu Huaiyi was not shocked, and after sending it to Sun Yu, he respectfully handed over the gift to Sun Shangshu and his family, and what he gave to Sun Shangshu was a thin booklet, everyone didn't know what the content was, and they couldn't just infer whether it was valuable, but the gift to the old lady of the Sun family was clearly laid out, and anyone could see it.

It was two persimmon trees, about one meter high, with beautiful branches, and red persimmons hanging on them, like lanterns in the New Year's Festival, revealing a joyful celebration.

At first glance, everyone thought it was true, but after a closer look, they found that it was artificially made, lifelike, and it seemed that the craftsmanship was extraordinary, which was amazing.

In the hall, because of the appearance of these two persimmon trees, it looks a lot brighter.

Everyone praised each other.

After Mrs. Sun heard that Xu Huaiyi's daughter-in-law made it herself, she smiled and praised a few words of ingenuity, and asked the grandmother who was waiting next to her to take a box of jewelry, and lovingly said to give it to Gu Huanxi, and then asked people to directly put the two pots of persimmon trees that represented everything to go well in a conspicuous position in the hall for all guests to enjoy.

Next, the gifts to the rest of the Sun family were also brought up one by one, the uncle of the Sun family is now serving in the southern Fucheng, even if he is not present, the gift has not fallen, the same is a book, and it was temporarily taken to keep by Sun Shangshu, who was happy to hunt the heart, and the Sun family still has a few masters, but it is a concubine, Xu Huaiyi is not good at being too favorite, but it can't be the same as the grandson, so although it is also a book, it is not as valuable as that given to Sun Yu and others.

Even so, they were still confiscated by Sun Shangshu with his father's prestige.

He had to get a sneak peek and completely ignore the grievances of his sons.

The ladies of the Sun family got fake flower ornaments, not as spectacular as the two persimmon trees, but because there is no one on the market, it is also quite rare, especially, Xu Huaiyi and his wife inquired about the preferences of several ladies in advance, and what they gave them was exactly their favorite, so this gift was more sincere.

As for the next generation of young masters of the Sun family, what they gave was those wooden educational toys, which had never appeared on the market, after Xu Huaiyi moved out, he explained it simply, and let them choose by themselves, everyone can choose at least two, around so, they are all picky, this likes, that is reluctant to put down, and finally decided, everyone will play with their own choices first, and then exchange with each other to play, so that no one will covet others.

Unexpectedly, even the toys, Sun Shangshu intervened, ignored the tearful accusations of his grandsons, picked two from the big box, and handed them to the long-term entourage beside him.

The only one who 'escaped' was the velvet flower, and he really didn't need it.

The little sisters of the Sun family, around a big box, laughing and chanting to choose their favorite velvet flowers, everyone can choose two or three, the most rare, these velvet flowers are not only exquisite, but also not the same, wear out, absolutely eye-catching, girls, where do you not like?

It can be said that even if you ignore Xu Huaiyi's previous performances, you can see this person's mind and means just from the level of gift-giving.

These gifts, not one of them should be expensive, avoiding the shortcomings of the Xu family's rich heritage, but they are all manifestations of sincerity, and they are simply sent to the hearts of the Sun family, pleasing and ingenious, but they do not make people think that he is cunning, only that he is thoughtful and harmonious.

The link of apprenticeship and gift-giving can be described as the highlight, after this wave is over, it is the opening of the banquet, the Sun family has always been low-key in the capital, and they have not made a big deal, only invited all kinds of in-laws and old friends, and then there are good colleagues and friends with Sun Yu, these are the connections with communicative value.

It can be seen that the sincerity of the Sun family is also very sufficient, and they really want to introduce these resources to Xu Huaiyi and take him into the upper circle.

This step is very important, many people may not be able to step into this high-end bureau even if they rank in the top three in the imperial examination, the gap in identity and status is like a moat, and it is difficult to cross it in a lifetime, but now, he quietly raised his legs and stepped forward.

The Sun family gave the opportunity, and he also seized the opportunity perfectly, if he himself is not good enough, the performance just now is not good enough, even if Sun Yu is with him, others may not recognize it, it is more of a face, but now, he is holding a wine glass and circling among everyone, everywhere he goes, everyone smiles very sincerely, and puts on a posture of coming and going, and understanding deeply.

Xu Huaiyi is neither humble nor arrogant on this kind of entertainment occasion, and he handles it easily, and he doesn't need Sun Yu to remind him what to say when he sees someone, he can answer it calmly, without stage fright, nor falling behind, and even inadvertently popping up a few words of insight, which amazes people with his insight and understanding.

Sun Yu is honored, and even feels that today is the highlight of his life, and it is difficult to replicate it.

His colleagues and friends were simply envious, like Ma Zicheng, although he had long known that Xu Huaiyi was extraordinary, but today's performance was so extraordinary, he was still surprised, and he was even more deeply envious of Sun Yu, who could pick up such a precious apprentice, maybe there would be many surprises in the future.

He poured Sun Yu three glasses of wine in a row to balance his mind.

As for the in-laws of the Sun family, they are purely happy, Xu Huaiyi is his own person, the more he is interested, the more beneficial it is to the Sun family, and they can only be satisfied.

When Xu Huaiyi went to toast, the attitude of the older people was amiable, and the peers also showed friendship, and they were happy with each other.

Sun Yu focused on introducing him to several of his junior brothers, except for the second senior brother who fought against the Tartars in the northwest, there was no way to come, the senior brother Shi Peck, and the fourth junior brother Liu Haoran were all present, a commander of the Jinyi Guard, a thrifty envoy in the camp of Xishan, his status is not low, and he holds real power, Liu Haoran also has the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion behind him, such a powerful person, who is not willing to befriend?
