Zhuo Jinzhang frowned and advised gently: "Rui'er, in front of all the uncles, don't be willful. A happy event is about to happen for you and me, and the facts should be auspicious and cannot be done rashly."
Although Haomai wanted to go with Bi Cheng, he felt that Hao Ruisheng was too disrespectful to Zhuo Jinzhang and went too far, so he persuaded Zhuo Jinzhang: "Master Zhuo is right, Ruisheng, don't be willful." !”
Next to them, Qu Pingchun and Man Lu couldn't help but enjoy themselves secretly.
Mr. Zhuo is obviously leaning towards Haoyuanlou. If they can get the support of this future master, they are not guaranteed to win!
Haorui Sheng was about to open his mouth to argue, but he heard someone outside the door loudly saying: "The high-quality delicacies of the royal family are actually said to be unlucky food that cannot be put on the table. If this word spreads, people will laugh at my wealthy family for doing this. There are big battles and banquets, and there are not even those who know how to do it."
Everyone looked over and saw that the person coming in was none other than the caravan master Shen Yuyun who had not shown up for the past few days.
Hao Ruisheng smiled excitedly at Shen Yuyun: "Sir, you are back!"
Shen Yuyun nodded slightly to Hao Ruisheng, walked directly to Haomai, and saluted respectfully: "Yun was bound by something, so he came back late."
Duan Xingchang, who was standing next to him, sneered: "Humph, I am the uncle. You are even absent from such an important banquet. What a big show you are!"
He was bold but supported Shen Yuyun with both hands, his face was full of kindness, and he repeatedly comforted: "It'll be good if you can come back in time, just come back in time, not too late, not too late, today is only the second day, and there is still another day tomorrow. Hurry up, Haolin, why don’t you quickly pour me some wine to warm yourself up!”
Shen Yuyun saluted respectfully again, straightened up, and his eyes fell on Zhuo Jinzhang standing next to him.
Zhuo Jinzhang's eyes met Shen Yuyun's, and he raised his glass with a gentle smile: "My uncle has been thinking about the uncle's absence. If the uncle can come back smoothly, my uncle will feel at ease." After saying that, he raised his glass and toasted to Shen Yuyun.
Shen Yuyun picked up the wine glass from Haolin's tray, but did not drink it. He stared at Zhuo Jinzhang with his bright black eyes: "Young Master Zhuo has been fond of reading since he was a child. He is well-known in your hometown Qiushui County. Yun said this besides I’ve heard about it when I go out to do business.”
"Yun has always respected scholars, and Mr. Zhuo sincerely aspires to the path of sage. I wonder if he will continue to go on the road to take the exam now that the engagement party with the eldest lady is over?"
The smile on Zhuo Jinzhang's face paused, and then he looked at Hao Ruisheng with extremely gentle eyes: "Zhuo Mou longed for the articles of saints and sages, but at that time I was alone and had no worries. Now I have a family. , I have to take my wife and family into consideration. This matter will be discussed in the long term after the engagement."
Shen Yuyun nodded: "What Mr. Zhuo said makes sense, but Mr. Zhuo seems to have forgotten the great ambition he made in front of the mountain god when he ruined the temple in the mountains. At that time, Mr. Zhuo was not afraid of hardships and dangers, devoted himself to learning, and was so determined and persistent. I didn’t expect my belief to change so easily.”
The smile on Zhuo Jinzhang's face completely disappeared, and he frowned and stared at Shen Yuyun: "What do you mean, uncle? I was only one person back then, so I could act willfully. If I still act willfully now, how can I do it? Are you abandoning Rui'er?"
Haorui Sheng immediately answered: "You can continue to concentrate on pursuing the path of saints and go on the road to obtain fame. I won't worry about you."
Zhuo Jinzhang was a little embarrassed, but his eyes when looking at Hao Ruisheng were still full of endearment: "Rui'er, don't be angry. You and I are about to get married. How could I leave you and run away? What will happen to me?" man of?"
Haorui Sheng still wanted to speak, and Haomai quickly smoothed things over: "Yu Yun just came in, and he hasn't even had a drink yet. Rui'er, you always respect Mr. Shen the most, why don't you toast Yu Yun quickly!"
He was well aware of his daughter's temper, and in front of so many guests, it would be embarrassing if the situation got too tense.
Hao Ruisheng respected Shen Yuyun from the bottom of his heart and immediately poured wine for Shen Yuyun with his own hands.
Shen Yuyun didn't drink with Zhuo Jinzhang just now, but now he happily drank the wine offered by Haorui Sheng.
In fact, all the guests had heard about the relationship between Haoruisheng and Zhuo Jinzhang. Many people had heard that Haoruisheng looked down on Zhuo Jinzhang.
The guests who had dealt with Zhuo Jinzhang all thought that Zhuo Jinzhang was friendly and well-educated, so they guessed that Hao Ruisheng was the daughter of a wealthy family and had a spoiled temper. The problem must lie with Hao Ruisheng.
At this moment, they saw her making things difficult for Zhuo Jinzhang in public, but Zhuo Jinzhang was tolerant and accommodating in every way. He had a good temper and had nothing to say. Everyone secretly condemned Hao Ruisheng for bullying others.
When several people were talking just now, Yan Yan had been listening carefully.
She not only listened to everyone's words, but also carefully observed everyone's expressions.
She found that when Zhuo Jinzhang looked at Hao Ruisheng, the doting and joy in his eyes were very deep.
People can lie with their mouths, but micro-expressions can truly show a person's inner reaction.
Zhuo Jinzhang looked at Hao Ruisheng with the kind of emotion he had been immersed in for a long time, not at all like the love and impulse of love at first sight after seeing him for only a few months.
Such deep emotions cannot be faked.
Yanyan suddenly felt that this man seemed to have liked Hao Ruisheng for a long time. He showed more depth than she and Hao Ruisheng had seen.
Yan Yannian was a little confused.
Zhuo Jinzhang has obviously only been with Hao Ruisheng for less than a year. What is the reason for this long-standing emotion?
And what Shen Yuyun said just now.
The mention of Qiushui County in his words was the same as the conversation between the two guests just now. Shen Yuyun mentioned his origin in front of Zhuo Jinzhang, and it was obvious that he had other meanings.
Did he find out any inside story about Zhuo Jinzhang during this trip?
Now that Haomao had settled the matter, everyone's attention turned back to the banquet.
Hua Chang came over to have a drink with Shen Yuyun and asked, "We didn't recognize this dish when it was served just now. We thought the master was bringing insects to scare people. When the master came in just now, I heard you say something. ?It seems like this dish does have some origins."
When Hua Chang spoke, everyone's attention was attracted by the black storm. Everyone was waiting to hear Shen Yuyun's explanation, but no one paid attention to Zhuo Jinzhang.
He gently put down his wine glass, exchanged low-pitched greetings with the guests around him, saluted Haomai, and quietly left the table.
After walking out of the colorful booth for the banquet, Zhuo Jinzhang turned around and glanced at everyone, walking through the flower gallery... Within a moment, an exquisite sedan drove out of the mansion from the side door and went straight to the east gate.
The thick clouds on the horizon are gradually coming down, and there are signs of a change in the weather.
The banquet is over here.
Seeing that Zhuo Jinzhang was gone, Hao Ruisheng was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen has traveled extensively and has seen more of the world than we have. Please help me clarify my doubts."
Shen Yuyun walked to the banquet table and carefully looked at the dishes made with black wasps in front of him.
Bi Cheng didn't know what Shen Yuyun was thinking about.
Although he has personally tasted this dish and knows that the taste is absolutely the best in the world, these guests have not tasted it yet. What the uncle is going to say next is directly related to the choices of the guests, as well as to him and Yan Yan The fate of this great competition.
