Chapter 300: Come to eat again
Just as everyone in the General's Mansion was about to sit down to eat,
The butler spoke in the old general's ear, but no one said anything.
"Please come in," the old general said and stood up.
"Father..." Su Yanchen opened his mouth to ask
"It's okay, it's just that the prince and the governor came together." The old general had a headache
Just as I finished speaking, the two of them were almost there.
"Greetings, Prince, Governor." Everyone saluted
"Grandfather and grandmother, uncle and aunt" Xiao Jue greeted them obediently.
Seeing this, Gu Xiao hurried over to pay his respects to the two elders. "Old General, Old Lady, Gu Xiao is here to eat with you again."
"So is Juer."
Disgusting, Su Jinxiu and Wen Xi were disgusted by Xiao Jue
"Please, please come in quickly," the old general was helpless as the two came at the same time.
After sitting down, the old general raised his glass to toast Gu Xiao, "Thank you for taking care of the child this time. The money you paid in advance will be returned to the General's Mansion later. Thank you for speaking up for justice this time. I thank you on behalf of Jiu'er and Yu'er."
"How dare I, old general? Lord Su is devoted to the people, the county lady, oh no, the princess, has given advice, and the two of them have worked hard. My submission is just the icing on the cake. I dare not do that. However, I have seen the way the general's mansion educates people, which makes me admire it. It's just that Prince Xiao just said that he would send someone to deliver this silver to my mansion." Gu Xiao picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Xiao Jue looked at him: You are so cruel!
Zhao and Qin were close to each other and looked at each other: He is not sick! When did Gu Xiao call himself a junior? Although he had just returned to Beijing, the reputation of this Dongchang Supervisor was well-known.
And why did Prince Xiao come today as well, and even called himself Jue'er? Hey, is he crazy?
There was silence at the table. "Brother-in-law is here too. Isn't this Miss Zhao? I heard that you were missing recently and I have been looking for you for a long time on behalf of my wife. I didn't expect to meet you here. When I go to Ganzhou County, I will tell her that you are fine."
At this time, Wen Xi looked up at him and said, "I guess the prince doesn't know yet, but Mr. Zhao and his son have been released and have been conferred the title of Earl of Loyalty, so the prince doesn't need to speak to my wife in such an interrogative tone."
"Ah, yes, I discussed this with the governor on the way here. Hey? Your wife? When did it happen? Why didn't you inform us? Does my wife know? I will prepare a gift for you." Xiao Jue really didn't know about this. No wonder Gu Xiao was making fun of him all the way.
"No, my sister's gift has been delivered. I won't bother you anymore, my lord." Wen Xi declined. This brother-in-law has won the emperor's heart recently. He is a big shot in front of the emperor. If his sister is transferred to such a far place, she will have to endure a lot of hardships.
Xiao Jue didn't say anything more after hearing the tone of voice. After all, this road is not so easy to walk.
Gu Xiao was laughing a little, and Su Jinxiu looked over and glared at him. Gu Xiao stopped laughing immediately and tried to find a topic. In fact, they all came here to eat. Gu Xiao's purpose of coming here was very simple, but Xiao Jue just came to see what the woman who warmed the wine had given to others? Why didn't he have anything?
Gu Xiao said that she gave Wen Xi and Zhao Keke wedding rings that symbolize love. The rings are not made of jade, but they have the words "a lifetime, a couple" and "unwavering loyalty" on them. They are embellished with diamonds that are more valuable than gold, silver and gems. So he just deliberately asked Zhao Keke why she was here to lead Wen Xi to say that they were getting married. He was talking about giving gifts, so that Su Jinxiu would remember his gift!
But why didn’t Su Jinxiu react...did he forget?
Gu Xiao saw that he was being stubborn, but he still said, "I wonder if you are satisfied with the gifts the princess gave you. Su San and I transported them all the way, and he protected them all the way. The princess spent quite a while preparing these."
"Jiu'er is very thoughtful, we all like it very much. Thank you again, Governor, for taking care of Xiu'er along the way." Zhao and Su Luobai raised their glasses to thank
Gu Xiao stood up, bent down and lowered his cup, completely the posture of a junior. This made people confused. If the old general and the old lady were elders, why did they treat Su Luobai and Zhao the same way? Normally, Su Luobai would have to bow when he saw Gu Xiao. Seeing him stand up, Su Luobai and his wife also stood up.
"Master, please sit down. Don't scare my uncle and aunt." Xiao Jue picked up a piece of pork ribs with chopsticks.
Gu Xiao smiled and said, "Please take a seat, my feet are numb, I'll drink this glass of wine."
After hearing what Gu Xiao said, Su Luobai and his wife felt relieved. Otherwise, they would have thought that Gu Xiao had something to ask of them.
Xiao Jue heard them say that everyone received a gift, and it turned out that he was the only one who didn't receive one!
Xiao Jue felt a little depressed during the meal and had no place to vent, so he didn't talk at the table and just drank one glass after another.
"Sir, you should stay there for a few more days when you go to announce the decree this time." The old lady still told Xiao Jue
"Yes, grandma, you can just call me Xiao Jue. There's no need to be so distant with family members." Xiao Jue's eyes lit up.
"Mother, I just told you that the emperor has issued an order. Once the private school is ready, you can come back. You..." Su Yanchen was pinched by Qin before he could finish his words. He shut up! He looked at his wife and whispered to her, "What are you doing, Madam?"
"Shut up and eat your meal." Qin added crayfish to his meal.
Su Jinxiu was the only one who didn't speak much at the table. He was teaching everyone how to eat, how to peel crayfish, how to eat crabs, and what each dish was called. Although he didn't participate in the conversation between Gu Xiao and Xiao Jue, he never stopped talking. He said he would demonstrate it to them, and then he served the crab roe and crab meat to the old general and the old lady, and put the rest into his own mouth.
"Grandma, what do you think of me opening a restaurant like this in Beijing?" Su Jinxiu lowered his head and asked.
Gu Xiao, who was about to speak, stopped
"You naughty boy, do you have this ability?" The old lady laughed.
"Grandma believes in me, I am ready to follow ..."
"Su San..." Gu Xiao interrupted Su Jinxiu
"Cousin, we have agreed to do this business together. I can promise you, but brothers should be clear about this matter." Wen Xi interrupted Gu Xiao, because at a table, Wen Xi had been staring at Gu Xiao. His attitude towards his cousin was a little strange. It can be seen that he really wants to get involved in this restaurant. No matter what his purpose is, his Dongchang style of doing things really makes people think of no good intentions.
"Then it's settled. You can't go back on your word. Let's high-five." Su Jinxiu's action seemed a bit childish, but Wen Xi still satisfied him.
"Okay, now we can have a good meal," the old general reminded everyone.
