Chapter 226 Entering Jin’s House (1)
"Old sir, I haven't seen you for many years. You are always well!"
The old lady smiled and stepped forward to salute, and the Jin family followed behind her.
Sou He smiled and nodded, "The old lady has always been kind. She is too polite, and I don't dare to take it seriously." After Sou He said that, he turned and looked at Chu Xue who had just got off the carriage, "Girl Xue, come here to see the old lady of the Jin family."
Chuxue tidied her clothes in a dignified manner. She walked forward to salute calmly and with a smile on her face.
"Chu Xue has met the old lady."
"This is the old gentleman's new student, right? This young lady looks extraordinary! Stop being so polite and take a good look at her."
Chuxue raised her head generously and let the old lady look at her.
The old lady was secretly shocked, but her face showed no emotion, "Old sir, I like this student of yours, and you look... somewhat similar to my... late eldest girl."
The old lady's brows were slightly lowered as she spoke, as if she was remembering something sad.
The Jin family behind them couldn't hide their shock, but...if you look closely, you can see that it really looks like Jin Xinyu, especially those eyes.
Jin Xincheng was among them, lowering his head and pouting.
Sou He couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows, and turned sideways to look at his students. He had seen Concubine Yu, but she was still young at that time. Speaking of which, if you think about it carefully, there is indeed some resemblance between the eyebrows.
, but no one reminded him, he really didn’t expect to go up here.
"It seems that Chuxue does have some resemblance to Concubine Yu. It's not Chuxue's fault that you always miss your deceased relatives..." Chuxue looked a little embarrassed and helpless and saluted the old lady again.
"What did you say, kid? This can be regarded as the fate between us," the old lady looked at Chu Xue silently, and she was secretly suspicious. Maybe she was overthinking it?
If he was really...at such a young age, it would be impossible for him to react like this when faced with her sudden attack. Wouldn't he be a monster?
She has never met anyone in her life, and she has seen countless people. She is somewhat confident in seeing people and things.
"It's a coincidence. When the old lady said this, I realized that there are indeed some similarities. How many years have passed..."
Souhe also sighed.
The old lady stopped the topic with a sour smile, "The past is over, old gentleman, you always value our friendship, so you came here to see the old man. I am here to thank my late husband, and a thin banquet has been prepared at the house. It is rare for the old man to travel and study."
So, everyone wants to meet Mr...."
“That’s so polite!”
Having said this, everyone got on the carriage and headed to Jin Mansion.
If you are not greeted at the city gate, you still have to be greeted at the gate of the mansion.
When the old man and them arrived, there were people standing on both sides of the mansion gate.
Chuxue followed silently and unexpectedly saw a somewhat familiar face in the crowd.
Tao'er also noticed it. When she entered, she tugged on Chuxue's sleeve and whispered: "Miss, it's the young man who grows medicine!"
Chuxue looked at the other person and happened to meet his eyes. Apparently the other person was also a little surprised. Chuxue smiled and nodded as a greeting out of politeness.
"Remember what I said."
Chuxue took advantage of the opportunity of walking to remind Taoer again.
"Don't worry, miss, I have all remembered this."
The master and servant averted their eyes and followed them to the banquet.
This was Chuxue's first time stepping into Jin's house. Maybe it was because of the large number of people, but she didn't feel much about it. Her first impression was that Jin's house was really big, and she couldn't see the end at a glance...
"Sir, it's them...that old gentleman is..."
The situation in front of the car made me feel stupid.
The young master is willing to come to this banquet because of the old man and the old gentleman. As a result... they have already met.
"Let's go and take a seat."
Unexpectedly, it was Mr. Sohe, and she was Mr. Sohe’s student!
Today, he is still wearing a green long-sleeved robe, but the style has been changed. He is not from Jinghe, but lives in the Jinghe family. His surname is Lu, his given name is Lu Wenyu, and he is from the Lu family of Jinyao.
The old man and the old man attracted much attention, but many eyes also fell on Chuxue.
Mr. Old’s female student, can you not be curious?
Mr. Sohe has only had three students in his lifetime.
"The old gentleman hasn't been to Jinghe for many years. I'm afraid many of the people here today don't know the old gentleman... I'd like to introduce them to you."
As a hostess, the old lady naturally has to behave a bit like a hostess.
Souhe actually didn't like this kind of banquet, but he didn't show it at all.
The old lady made such a big fuss, firstly to demonstrate the superior status of the Jin family, or to demonstrate her abilities.
You must know that the old man and Mr. Sou are today's national scholars. How can they be invited by ordinary people?
How could the old lady not know that Souhe didn't like this kind of occasion, but she still did it. Of course, she did so with her own considerations.
After weighing the pros and cons, it ultimately favored the pros.
Souhe pinched his beard and smiled, acquiescing.
It's nothing more than listening and laughing.
Fortunately, the old lady had a good sense of proportion. Except for the people from the sixth room of the Jin family, not many outsiders were invited. It is true that not everyone can come to such an occasion. Counting all together, there are only six or seven families.
The old lady gave a brief introduction one by one, and each family got up to say hello to the old gentleman.
"Old sir, this is Dr. Xie, the master of medicine. I won't introduce you much. I remember you have met him before."
As for the last one, the old lady is even more concise.
If a doctor can sit here, he is certainly not an ordinary doctor.
The others, Shouhe, nodded slightly and said nothing. When they came to Mr. Xie, the old man actually answered, "Remember, remember! Mr. Xie is a master of the apricot forest, with a skillful hand and a benevolent heart!"
"The old gentleman has a very good memory. Xie will be able to see him again in his lifetime..."
Mr. Xie was a little flattered and quickly stood up to salute.
"I'm serious, Mr. Xie, who is this young man next to you?"
Unexpectedly, Sohe would ask about his grandson sitting next to him, so Mr. Xie was stunned for a moment and quickly pulled his grandson up to greet him.
"Old sir, this is Mr. Xie's grandson. Come on, come and greet me."
"Lu Wenyu pays homage to Mr. Lu!" Lu Wenyu saluted very respectfully, but he was a little embarrassed.
"Hahaha, it turns out you are the grandson of Mr. Xie. On the way to Jinghe, Mr. Xie, an old student, accidentally stepped on the medicinal materials grown by your grandson. Thanks to his magnanimity, he didn't care." Souhe explained in passing,
He deliberately mentioned it in front of so many people. It was actually the old man's intention and it was considered a personal favor.
This young boy is really good, polite and not impetuous.
"There is such a fate, old sir. The grandson of Doctor Xie is the son of the Lu family of Jin Yao. Since he was frail since he was a child, Doctor Xie is proficient in medical skills, so he nursed him back here." The old lady interrupted at the right time.
If someone else's young master was living in his ancestral home, outsiders would not inquire too much. This is the young master of the Lu family in Jinling, so they would naturally inquire about it. After inquiring, they found out why he had been recuperating here because he was weak since he was a child. Then
They all sound nice, but in fact they just mean that they can't stand being treated well in the Lu family.
"It turns out he is the young master of the Lu family of Jin Yao."
The old man said with a smile and stopped talking. It was just a small incident, and everyone didn't take it to heart.
After all the introductions, the banquet officially began.
Chuxue, on the other hand, had been sitting quietly next to Sohe and looking at him calmly.
This is the Jin family...
The rumored Jin family.
