"Master Jia personally came to my humble residence and made my family shine. The Qiu family is deeply grateful!"
There was still a stone's throw away, so Qiu Lun led the housekeeper, his second son and his third grandson to greet him and bow down to him.
A smile appeared on Jia Cong's face and he said, "Mr. Qiu is joking. Your family invited us to visit the garden. It's our turn to thank you for your hospitality."
After saying that, he turned over and dismounted to return the favor.
Hearing Jia Cong¡¯s playful words, Qiu Lun was overjoyed!
In his heart, he admired the old man of the Zhao family who lived like a man to the core. It was exactly as he expected.
This young dignitary is indeed here to ease the relationship.
After he made up his mind, Qiu Lun started to say nice things more and more, and introduced his family enthusiastically.
Naturally, there will be no scenes of youthful arrogance and stupidity. Even Qiu Lun's three grandsons, who are not much older than Jia Cong, greet Jia Cong respectfully.
Jia Cong¡¯s reputation and achievements are far beyond those of his contemporaries, let alone the huge background behind him.
It is difficult for the children and grandchildren of the Qiu family to even feel jealous, let alone show hatred
In fact, these young people will never make any mistakes in their etiquette, words and deeds in large occasions where their elders are present.
After the introduction was completed, Qiu Lun apologized to Jia Cong: "The daughter of the Qiu family is from Lin Yanyuan. With this relationship, I should have invited you to come to the house as a guest. It's just that you are busy with official business and have many things to do, so you don't dare to Light disturbance. Secondly It is the winter month, the flowers have withered, the pond water has dried up, and there is not much beautiful scenery to see, so it has been delayed. Fortunately this year, the plum trees in the garden bloomed half a month earlier than in previous years, and I finally have the opportunity to enjoy the scenery. At the office, I asked my wife to go to the Yanzheng Yamen. Firstly, I wanted to check on the health of Mr. Yanyuan. Secondly, I wanted to invite you and some of the ladies in the family to come to Qiu Garden to enjoy the plum blossoms. It was just with sincerity. Go and give it a try. After all, you are a high-ranking person and you are too busy with official duties. I never expected that you would reward me with a favor. It is really a blessing for the Qiu family!"
The low posture of these words made Qiulun's children and grandchildren look a little unnatural on their faces.
No matter what you say, the Qiu family is also one of the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou.
In the entire Yangzhou Prefecture and the entire Jiangnan, the Qiu family is also one of the few in terms of basic strength.
Even if the Governor of Jiangnan comes personally, even if Bai Shijie of the Bai family comes personally, Qiu Lun has never been so "low-key".
But I didn¡¯t expect that today, in front of a young man, I would compromise like this
Jia Cong didn¡¯t expect that. He knew that Qiu Lun had wanted to support Bai Shijie several times. There is no airtight wall in the world.
Now it seems that he wants to make up for it.
only¡¡
After quietly scanning the faces of everyone in front of the Qiu Mansion for a few times, Jia Cong was only 50% sure, but his confidence rose to 60%, or even 70%
Although Qiu Lun can't see any problems and there are many people around him, not everyone has such a good psychological quality.
Because he found at least three people with evasive eyes
Jia Cong can clearly tell that this kind of look is not a sign of respect for the noble person, but a kind of guilty conscience and a kind of unkindness
After retracting his gaze, he smiled and said: "Mr. Qiu is too polite. Aunt Qiu takes good care of my uncle every day and is not afraid of hard work. I and other juniors are very grateful. Although the Qiu family is a salt merchant's home, they can be treated with loyalty and filial piety. The family tradition is inherited and worthy of our respect. Therefore, I came here today with the intention of making good friends."
Although these words were condescending, no one in the Qiu family thought Jia Cong was frivolous.
Not to mention Jia Cong's official position and power, just that he was born in the first-class Rongguo Duke's palace in Shenjing, and he now has a second-class noble noble title, it is enough to overwhelm anyone in Yangzhou Prefecture.
With his status, proposing a good relationship is no different from the Rongguo government wanting to have a good relationship with the Qiu family.
Besides being happy, what other feelings can the Qiu family feel?
In addition, Jia Cong praised Aunt Qiu as a junior, which made Qiu Lun even more happy.
Naturally, another round of enthusiastic politeness made the atmosphere even more exciting.
Qiu Lun glanced at Zhan Peng, who was always guarding Jia Cong, smiled kindly, nodded slightly to express understanding, and then invited: "Sir, why don't you drink tea in the mansion first? The ladies of your mansion can also go to the inner hall to rest for a while to recover. It¡¯s all a labor of carriage and horse. Although the humble house is far less wealthy than the mansion, I still have a collection of some good tea"
Jia Cong smiled and declined: "That's not necessary. I have official duties today. I will send my family members here first and let them live with Aunt Qiu."Shouheng and Runqin and I. I was entrusted by Mr. You Min to accept him as a disciple. I thought it was just for Oh, I never expected that Cong'er would have such an amazing talent. Now, every time Mr. You Min mentions this matter, he regrets it endlessly. He wishes that time could turn back the clock, and he would put aside his old face and accept Cong'er as his disciple. "
Seeing the proud look on Song Yan¡¯s face covered with age spots, Song Hua was amused and complimented: ¡°Grandpa, this is God¡¯s will. It is fitting that this little uncle will become his disciple and inherit his legacy.¡±
Song Yan chuckled and said, "What he inherited is not my mantle" But he didn't say much and continued: "Originally, I thought he was so thin and was abused by his biological father and aunt, at such an age. , his calligraphy revealed the Zen spirit of being out of the world, and I was worried that he would have thoughts of leaving this world, so I named him Qingchen."
Song Huadao said: "This is the epitome of Yan Lugong in the Tang Dynasty. Yan Lugong was strong, loyal and filial throughout his life. In the midst of the rebellious army, he dared to spurn the rebellious Li Xilie to his face. This kind of character should be imitated by us."
Song Yan nodded, with a smile on his face, and said: "Yes, this is my original intention! Your junior uncle is not ashamed of these two words. In fact, his character is not inferior to Yan Lu's. male!
¡°Let¡¯s go, since your junior uncle invites us, let¡¯s go and see if there are any demons and ghosts who dare to make trouble and cause chaos in this bright world today! "
