Zhong Lingyao also raised her wine glass at this time, and said with a smile: "Although I am a woman, when I heard Mr. Su's song about drinking wine, I couldn't help but want to raise my glass and drink deeply, so as not to let the golden bottle empty to the moon."
Su Shi had not yet spoken, but Zhou Qi seemed to have found a close friend. He raised his glass and said, "What I like the most is that all the ancient sages in it are lonely, and only the drinkers leave their names. Every time I recite this sentence, I will be enlightened." "
At this point, Zhou Qi actually drank three drinks in a row, Su Shi had to drink three drinks with him, and Zhong Lingyao and Zhou Jin also drank one.
As soon as Zhou Qi put down his wine glass, Su Shi stood up and poured it for him, raised his glass and thanked him, "I have little talent and little knowledge. I am so frightened that I am invited by the fifth prince, so I can only thank you with a glass of water and wine."
Zhou Qi also raised his glass and sighed: "My good brother is good at everything, but he is too self-effacing, which is not good."
Zhou Jin couldn't help but shake her head secretly. She knew that this was the fifth brother's first contact with Su Shi, so she didn't know this person at all, so she said these words.
He didn't notice it at all. Su Shi said that he had little talent and little knowledge, and was scared in his heart, but there was no trace of shame or fear on his face. That was just a polite word from him, and even this polite word he said was extremely perfunctory.
But it's not Zhou Qi's fault. Even though he has been in contact with him for so long, he still can't see clearly or understand this person clearly.
In Zhou Jin's view, Su Shi was a very strange person.
If other people were as young and talented as him, not only would their nostrils point to the sky, but their tails could pierce the sky. But Su Shi didn't seem to care at all. No matter how much humiliation he received before or how much praise he received now, he didn't care. .
And whether they were traffickers or lackeys or princes and nobles, Su Shi was polite to everyone, neither warm nor indifferent, but always with a sense of distance.
At the same time, Su Shi would not show strong interest or emotion in anything, as if he was just a bystander, always remaining calm and indifferent.
After drinking with Zhou Qi, Su Shi came to Zhou Jin. Seeing him coming, Zhou Jin panicked for no reason and hurriedly stood up to raise a glass.
Su Shi looked at her and said with a smile: "I would like to toast to Her Royal Highness the Princess. I wish her the best in everything."
Zhou Jin didn't raise her glass because she knew that Su Shi came here just to say a few polite words.
Sure enough, Su Shi sighed and continued: "It's just that Her Royal Highness has a lot of chores to do. If there are no capable people around her, she will inevitably work too hard, and secondly, she may not be able to take care of everything."
Zhou Jin looked at him blankly. Although she knew that Su Shi was referring to something else, she had no idea what he was referring to.
"It seems you really don't know."
Zhou Jin's expression changed, and she intuitively told her that something was wrong at the flower shop, so she couldn't help but look at Zhong Lingyao.
Zhong Lingyao immediately walked to her side and whispered a few words, and Zhou Jin's face immediately turned gloomy.
Zhou Qi looked on and was frightened, because he had seen this expression many times. Whenever the Third Emperor Sister showed this expression, he would be the one who suffered.
"Call Huangfu Jie." Zhou Jin said coldly.
Someone answered immediately outside the door, and then a burst of hurried footsteps gradually faded away.
"Why did Huangfu Jie become the director of the Flower Garden?"
This was something Su Shi couldn't figure out, because in his opinion, Huangfu Jie had no ability to control the flower shop.
Zhou Jin said silently: "His mother has served me for many years and worked hard without complaint. She asked me to support him before she died. So..."
"So you put him in this position even though he doesn't have the ability."
Zhou Jin sighed: "I thought that with me watching over you, even if you don't have the ability, you should always make some progress over the years."
At this time, Zhou Qi asked in confusion: "Sister Huang, your face is so ugly, has something happened?"
Then he looked at Zhou Jin and Su Shi and suddenly said, "It turns out you have known each other for a long time."
Only then did he realize why Sister Sanhuang, who had never been interested in poetry and literature, wanted to attend this banquet.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Su Shi a few more times, because he had a vague feeling that Sister Sanhuang was more interested in Su Shi than poetry and articles.
He couldn't help but feel a little worried, because he knew that Su Shi had already engaged Qin Nan, and he learned from Qin Yue that they would get married in half a year.
I don't know if the emperor's sister really has an admiration for Su Shi. If so, how sad the emperor's sister will be on the day when Su Shi and Qin Nan go to the wedding hall to get married.
While Zhou Qi was thinking wildly, Huangfu Jie opened the door and walked in.
As soon as he came in, he immediately knelt down and said with a fearful expression: "I have met Her Highness the Princess, and I have met the Fifth Prince."
Upon seeing this, Zhong Lingyao immediately saluted Zhou Jin, Zhou Qi and Su Shi to say goodbye, walked out of the room and gently closed the door.
Zhou Jin looked at Huangfu Jie and asked coldly: "What happened last night?"
Huangfu Jie replied in a trembling voice: "At around Xu o'clock last night, Bai Jiangchuan and his party of five people came to the flower shop and asked Cui Nong, Chen Shuang and Hua Fu to accompany them."
"Don't you think it's strange why Bai Jiangchuan specifically wants the three of them to accompany him? Or you don't care at all."
Huangfujie's head was dripping with cold sweat, and he opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.
"and after?"
Huangfujie said tremblingly: "Soon after Cuinong and the others entered the room, there was a dispute. Cuinong smashed Bai Chuanjiang's head with a wine bottle, and the three of them were also beaten by Bai Jiangchuan and his men."
Zhou Jin frowned: "Did Cuinong move first?"
Huangfu Jie hurriedly replied: "It was indeed Cuinong who made the first move, and Cuinong herself admitted it."
"Why did she do it?"
"Cuinong didn't say anything. I also asked Chenshuang and Huafu, but they both seemed crazy. They only laughed and didn't say a word. But..."
"But what?"
Huangfujie glanced at Su Shi, then leaned down and said, "Those people in Bai Jiangchuan were still cursing before they left. One of them covered his wrist and cursed Cuinong and the others for being a bunch of lunatics who would even risk their lives for a pretty boy." .”
Su Shi's expression changed and he said coldly: "Did they really say that?"
Huangfujie looked at Zhou Jin, and Zhou Jin said, "Answer truthfully."
"A lot of people heard it," he said immediately.
At this time, Zhou Jin was also a little embarrassed. After all, it was Cuinong who made the first move. The flower shop was at fault. If he went to pursue the case, he would only be asking for trouble.
Thinking of this, Zhou Jin sighed: "How are their injuries? Have they sought medical treatment?"
Seeing that Zhou Jin's tone was gradually softening, Huangfu Jie felt relieved and replied: "We have invited the best doctors. Although their injuries look serious, they are okay. After recuperation, they will be fine in a few months. "
At this time, Su Shi said calmly: "Cuinong's legs were broken, Huafu's hands were destroyed, and Chenshuang's face was destroyed. Is this okay?"
Huangfu Jie said coldly: "If Cui Nong hadn't taken action first, how could something like this have happened? It's lucky that their lives can be saved now."
Su Shi said slowly: "So it seems that the flower shop will no longer care about this matter?"
Huangfujie smiled cruelly and said, "Why don't you care? After their injuries are healed, we will naturally discipline them strictly."
