"Where is your good son-in-law? I was asking where you were, but it turns out you are here -"
Cheng Yaojin stood up and went out without saying a word. He pretended to scan the crowd, then laughed and walked towards Wang Zi'an.
Sure enough, as soon as this greeting came out, he found that the girl who was smiling sweetly in front of Wang Zi'an suddenly darkened slightly and her tone was a bit stiff.
He immediately counted.
I was thinking to myself, whose daughter could this be?
Who among the people present didn't know that Wang Zi'an was already engaged and was about to get married, so he actually brought his own daughter here. Is this because he wanted to find a son-in-law?
"Kong Ling'er has met Mr. Su Guo——"
Kong Linger bowed politely to Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin seemed to have just discovered this person. He turned around with a smile and looked at Kong Linger up and down with a kind expression.
"Kong Ling'er? You are the talented woman from Kongji Restaurant, right? I have heard of her name for a long time. She is really good-looking. Do you have a husband? If not, tell Uncle Cheng what you want. Or if you have fallen in love with someone’s young master, just tell him, and Uncle Cheng will catch him for you right now—”
Kong Ling'er:......
Although she often attended various poetry gatherings and banquets with her grandfather, all she met were gentle gentlemen. How had she ever dealt with such a person?
Cheng Yaojin immediately made him blush, and he didn't know how to answer.
Looking at the proud Cheng Yaojin, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but be speechless.
If you really don’t have any discernment, then you have it all!
Knowing that this old guy came here deliberately to disrupt the situation, Wang Zi'an turned his head helplessly and looked at Cheng Yaojin who was pretending to be stupid here.
"looking for me--"
"Ah, well, cough - isn't it almost the wedding date for you and Ying'er? Your mother-in-law asked me to ask you if you still have any shortcomings. When we prepare the dowry for Ying'er, we should prepare more - —”
As the guy said this, he gave Kong Ling'er a very friendly smile.
"Daughter, remember to come over for a wedding drink with your grandfather. Our Ying'er always praises you, a talented woman, a lot -"
This isn't over yet, is it?
Wang Zi'an couldn't stand it anymore.
Kong Ling'er smiled apologetically and pulled Cheng Yaojin aside who wanted to continue talking.
He finally understood that with this old guy around, he couldn't even think about hooking up with a little girl.
Although Wang Zi'an's living room is very large, except for a few people, most of the guests are too lazy to go in.
His yard has floor heating, it's not cold outside, and the grass and trees have turned green. Plus, the sun is shining brightly today. These old men can just find a corner and bask in the sun while enjoying themselves with their old friends. chat.
Including Kong Yingda.
Seeing his granddaughter, the look in his eyes gradually dimmed, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
"Ling'er, come here -"
Kong Yingda pretended not to know and greeted his granddaughter with a smile.
Seeing Yu Zhining, Zhang Ruosu and others looking at him with smiles on their faces, Kong Linger reluctantly calmed down and walked over. Although she is a girl, she often follows her grandfather, going in and out of the mansions of these elders, and discussing knowledge with them. Therefore, she is half a teacher and is very familiar with them.
Therefore, it is not unexpected at all to go over and see each other.
If it weren't for this, Kong Yingda wouldn't have been shameless enough to bring her here directly.
Here, Wang Zian looked at Cheng Yaojin with a half-smile.
"I'm talking about my father-in-law. If you don't tell me, I'm a little embarrassed to mention it. Look at my house here, the furniture and everything are ready. There really isn't anything missing - if you have to say it's missing, then I’m just short of money, why don’t you prepare some?”
After Wang Zi'an saw that Cheng Yaojin had disturbed his chat with Kong Linger, he pretended to be fine and turned to leave.
As soon as he reached out his hand, he grabbed it.
When Cheng Yaojin heard this, his scalp suddenly went numb. While pulling Wang Zi'an's hand, he didn't mean what he said and nodded perfunctorily.
"Okay, I'll tell your mother-in-law later -"
This bitch, he is so rich, yet he has the nerve to open his mouth and ask for a dowry, his conscience is being eaten by a dog!
Even if you want it, if I give it, I lose!
"That's really great. Please tell your mother-in-law not to give too much as a dowry. Just give her 32,000 guan. It's just a little bit of fun..."
Cheng Yaojin:! ! ! ! ! !
hehe--
He shook off Wang Zi'an's big hand and walked away without looking back.
Who does this piece of shit have?
Isn’t it just that I can’t afford that much money?
Bah, I won’t give it to you even if I can afford it!
Seeing how angry this guy was, Wang Zian couldn't help but feel funny.
However, at this time, it was really not appropriate to take the initiative to talk to Kong Linger.
After all, there are so many guests.
However, he is not a smooth-tempered person, and it is a bit awkward to deal with this kind of situation. Fortunately, however, he was soon surrounded by a group of old gentlemen.
We are about to participate in the compilation of a Chinese dictionary, a grand event that will leave a mark in history, and everyone is a little excited.
Although the official compilation work will not start until next year, during this period, these old men have done a lot of homework at home. At this time, they naturally have to take it out and have a good discussion with Wang Zi'an, the true advocate and guide. Battle, battle.
Education is no small matter!
Our attitude is rigorous——
That's okay, it would be much simpler and more pure to communicate with such a group of old men who are obsessed with academics.
At first, there were just three or five people chatting and laughing.
But slowly, it was like holding an impromptu academic conference here. More and more people gathered around him, and at some point, a group of old gentlemen with gray hair and beards gathered.
He spoke there, and a group of people around him listened attentively.
The most exaggerated thing is that some elderly gentlemen, fearing that they would not be able to remember, took out the pen and paper they had prepared long ago from their arms and started taking notes!
Wang Zi’an:……
Tsk, what a pity, that bitch Yan Liben is not here today, otherwise, maybe a few years later, there will be a famous painting like "Sermon Picture" that will be passed down through the ages.
Gee, if I were to draw it myself, wouldn’t it look a little immodest?
Therefore, when Li Shimin came in with Queen Changsun and Xiao Sizi, he saw an exaggerated scene in front of him.
Under the faint sunshine, Prince An stood tall and talked, with a confident and peaceful smile on his lips.
There was a large circle of people squatting or sitting, leaning or standing around. Except for Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao, Niu Jinda and other generals who really had no interest in learning, almost all the learned Confucians in his court were Caught in one swoop.
Everyone gathered around Wang Zi'an, neither arguing nor quarreling, and listening to Wang Zi'an's lectures attentively.
Good guys, even my own father, and respected old men like Li Gang and Ouyang Xun are all without exception, they are really good guys.
Li Shimin was a little better, and Empress Changsun was dumbfounded.
Is this the beautiful son-in-law of his family who has an out-of-touch temperament and often squeezes his husband to the point where he is speechless and dumbfounded?
She knew that Wang Zi'an was talented, but she didn't expect that it would reach this level.
No wonder, my husband loves and hates him at the same time. He suffers many defeats at his hands, but he is happy and convinced!
Over there, Kong Ling'er looked at Wang Zi'an who was surrounded by a group of great scholars with bright eyes. Listening to his eloquent talk, she felt that his whole body was shrouded in holy light, his smile was gentle and elegant, and his whole body People are crazy.
Even Li Shimin and Empress Changsun came to her side, but she didn't even notice.
She didn't realize it, but Wang Zi'an immediately noticed the three members of Li Shimin's family coming together. He stopped with a smile and stretched out his hand to say hello.
"Mother-in-law, you are here too—"
Li Shimin had long been accustomed to this brat deliberately turning a blind eye to him, so Quan pretended not to hear it.
At this time, everyone was shocked to realize that their Majesty and Queen had arrived, and they quickly turned around.
He didn't expect there to be so many people in the yard, nor did he expect his father to be there, but Li Shimin himself was very aware. He quickly walked two steps, walked up to Li Yuan, and bowed respectfully.
"I have met the Supreme Emperor, and I want to pay my respects to the Supreme Emperor——"
Empress Changsun also led Xiao Sizi over to salute.
Li Yuan didn't look good to Li Shimin, but he was still polite to his daughter-in-law. He nodded with a smile, stretched out his hand, and then pulled the little Sizi to his side who called her grandpa with her little face raised.
"Little Sizi, come to grandpa quickly——"
Li Shimin was also used to it, and stood up with a wry smile, "Who is the father?"
"I have met all the gentlemen and elders——"
Li Shimin smiled and greeted the others.
Although this person is a businessman on the surface, no one dares to really regard him as a businessman.
Therefore, regardless of age or status, everyone returned the favor and greeted them very politely.
"Shopkeeper Li, you're fine—"
Compared with Wang Zi'an's unfamiliarity, Li Shimin was obviously much more familiar with such small scenes, and he greeted other people in the yard very skillfully.
As for people like Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Li Junxian, and Tang Jian, it is much simpler.
The original character was Li Shimin's steward or accountant.
After saying hello, Li Shimin looked around and didn't see Xue Rengui. He couldn't help but feel puzzled and asked casually.
"Why didn't you see Rengui today?"
When Li Shimin mentioned this, Wang Zi'an remembered that he hadn't seen him for a while.
Yes, why did you go——
He couldn't help but subconsciously looked around.
"For your information, Mr. Xue, Mr. Xue was dragged out by several other young masters just now. From what I saw, he seemed to have gone to the martial arts field -"
Wang Zi'an nodded casually.
This operation is normal.
You know, people like Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda, Qin Shubao, Li Ji, Wei Zheng, Li Junxian, Fang Xuanling and others who have close contacts with Wang Zi'an also came here with their children.
The Chinese New Year is almost here, so I would like to express my gratitude to you.
It's okay to let them come over to play, and having a meal is even more desirable, but if you want them to stay here honestly and listen to this group of people talking about scriptures and studying knowledge, then don't even think about it.
Li Shimin didn't have to ask Xue Rengui, he just asked him so simply, forget it.
At this time, the old butler Gu Zhong came over to ask for instructions on where to hold the banquet.
After all, there were a lot of people here, old and young, and it was impossible to place a few tables.
Wang Zi'an looked at it and was about to say that it would be right here.
Over there, Li Yuan had already waved his hand cheerfully.
"Let's go to the back garden. I haven't been here for a few days. I don't know how the scenery in his back garden is -"
With the blessing of floor heating, although spring has not yet begun, the scenery here in Wang Zi'an is already changing day by day. Therefore, Li Yuan's proposal immediately gained everyone's support.
Wang Zi'an is naturally indispensable.
Anyway, their back garden is big, so when the time comes, let them choose and put the table wherever they want.
He left immediately, and everyone stood up one after another.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, he heard an exclamation from someone in the crowd.
"Look, what is that!"
Looking along the voice, I saw that it was Kong Yingda, the imperial concubine who had always been calm and collected!
At this time, Kong Yingda was not aware of his gaffe at all, and his voice was a little distorted.
"Look, look, what is that!"
Everyone followed their gazes and saw a strange huge ball rising slowly in the distance. This was not the reason for their shock. What really shocked them was that there seemed to be several people hanging under the ball!
Someone followed the ball to the sky!
