After the group entered the county town, the dusk was already heavy, but as they walked in, they still attracted a lot of attention, and passers-by looked around.

Ye Ruchuan seemed to be respected here, and with the greetings of passers-by, he led the distinguished guests to the Su family.

Ye Yunjin received the reward in advance. Knowing that He Hanzhu was about to arrive, he had already changed his clothes to meet guests. He opened the main door and personally took the people out and waited outside the gate.

She had heard a lot of descriptions about the descendants of the He family from her brother, and knew that her daughter was very responsible for him in Tiancheng. Even when she visited her daughter in the past few years, she was treated very well and was very grateful to him. At the moment, when she first met her brother, she saw her brother accompanying her, a young man came over, dressed in an old style. Although she was in regular clothes, she was so majestic and had a family of old style. Before she could speak, she immediately got the impression of the first glance. She went to welcome her immediately, and both sides were outside the Su family's gate.

Ye Ruchuan introduced his sister and He Hanzhu to each other.

Ye Yunjin was the master, so he naturally spoke first and said with a smile: "Commander He is here. Today, my Su family is truly full of glory and honor!"

He Hanzhu continued: "Madam Su, you are so serious, you and me, don't be polite. This time, if you have something to do, I pass by the local area, I dare not bother Mrs. Su. Thanks to the warm invitation, I am extremely grateful. My name is Hanzhu, and my name is Yanqiao. Mrs. Su, you can just call me my name."

Ye Yunjin was slightly stunned.

Her mother and the other person's mother are distant cousins. She is an older person and older person, but the other person has a high position. When she first met and greeted each other, she naturally could not be too arrogant and directly called her cousin.

He didn't call his cousin, but he was called Mrs. Su. Although he seemed unfamiliar, there was no big problem. After all, he was not a serious relative. He had been broken for more than ten years. Now he took the initiative to make friends with him. With his current identity, he was willing to recognize his relatives and took care of his distant relatives whom he had never met before. Today he took the time to visit him, which gave him great face.

What was called Ye Yunjin unexpectedly was this descendant of the He family. Why did he speak respectfully to himself in the tone, but it seemed that he regarded himself as an elder, giving her the feeling of his future generations?

Fortunately, Ye Yunjin is also a person who is walking around, so he is surprised and summarized it without revealing it. He only thinks that he respects himself as old as he is.

Yes, if his mother is still alive, she is about the same age as hers. She didn't think much about it now, and she liked this humble "cousin" even more. She hurriedly said that she couldn't afford to take care of her. Then, in the eyes of her neighbors nearby, she welcomed the distinguished guest into the house. After a few words, several elders of the Su family arrived and accompanied the guest together.

In terms of seniority and age, the third uncle, the old and dizzy old scholar, is the highest. In terms of reputation, the sixth uncle, who is the son who works as an education official in the provincial capital, is the most outstanding. The remaining few are also the leaders of the Su clan, who have families and careers in the local area. When they go out, everyone will call him Master.

Ye Yunjin usually has disagreements with these elders of the Su family. During festivals, they only have a friendship according to their etiquette. But today, when relatives and distinguished guests come to their homes, no matter how bored they are, they still have to invite the Su family members to accompany them. Otherwise, they will be rude on both sides.

He Hanzhu then stood up and greeted the elders of the Su family.

Everyone had heard that Ye Yunjin had a noble family for the Su family last year, saying that the other party was a descendant of the He family in the past. He also learned from the sixth uncle who was an official in the provincial capital that the descendants of the He family are now in the capital. They finally had the opportunity to meet each other. They completely ignored the identity of the elders and pulled down their old faces and opened their mouths, such as dragon horses and phoenix chicks, luxuriant and elegant, long-awaited and famous, and had been in great harmony for a long time. They all came out and flattered them.

For He Hanzhu, this was just a small scene, with a smile on his face and responded one by one. Seeing that he was humble and had no airs, everyone became more and more enthusiastic about his friendship. For a while, laughed and cheered in the guest hall and was full of joy.

Honglian came over with a smile and said that the meal was ready and asked the commander to move.

Ye Yunjin stood up and took the guests to the canteen.

Although she is a woman, she has been in charge for many years and is naturally sitting in the host seat. She is just a dining table and only has one guest seat.

Everyone agreed and recommended He Hanzhu to sit down. He Hanzhu firmly refused. He pushed him around and finally let the third uncle, who had to help him walk, sat down tremblingly.

In the second seat, everyone pushed Hanzhu again.

He Hanzhu refused again and asked Ye Ruchuan to take his seat.

Ye Ruchuan was flattered. At first, he refused to accept it and decided to sit in Hanzhu, saying that he was the same generation as him, but Xu was just a few years older. Moreover, he was a guest today, so he would never dare to step over.

He Hanzhu said sincerely: "Mr. Ye is the leader in the industry in this province and has always been known as the ancient and warm-hearted. Although I have been out since I was a child, I have heard of it and have always respected Mr. Ye. I am young and indifferent, so how dare I be arrogant. This position is Mr. Ye."

The elders of the Su family had always been disgusted with Ye Ruchuan, and they arranged them behind their backs, saying that he was greedy and wanted to control Ye Yunjin, and then seized the Su family's property. But now, this is very obvious. He Hanzhu wanted to praise him. Although he was not sure, he didn't know why this great figure in the He family valued Ye Ruchuan so much, but they were all human beings, so how could he disobey his meaning?

Uncle Six immediately laughed and said, "As the saying goes, uncle is better than heaven. Uncle, you are the family of our Su family! You are busy on weekdays and it is rare to get together. Today I asked me to take the opportunity of Commander He! Uncle, please take your seat quickly, and I will give you a cup later!"

The others also agreed.

Ye Ruchuan really retreated, and had no choice but to sit down. He Hanzhu then sat in his position. The rest of the people followed the order and status of the teeth, and finally, they all took their seats, and the next was the opening ceremony.

Ye Yunjin was the master's house, so he served the wine first, stood up, stared at He Hanzhu and smiled and said, "My son Xuezhi was studying outside, and he was thousands of miles away from home. Thanks to Commander He's strong guidance, he settled smoothly. Now he has a little study. As a mother, I have nothing to think of except gratitude. Today, Commander He came to visit the house again, which is the honor of my Su family. I am a countryside, a small household, and there is nothing to be able to receive guests, so I can only drink it first. A glass of water and wine is not respectful!" After saying that, he drank it all, his mind was generous, not inferior to the man at all.

The elders of the Su family on the seat looked at each other without saying a word.

According to the rules, guests must now be asked to return to drink.

Ding Chunshan stood nearby, waiting for this moment, and then interrupted, saying that his boss was quitting smoking and drinking. It was not disrespectful, but it was really difficult for the doctor to violate the advice. He could only use tea instead of wine. Please forgive me.

This is just a routine operation.

It seems that after the boss met the doctor, the son of the Su family, he finally listened to the advice recently, repented, knew that he was willing to follow the doctor's instructions. On such occasions, Ding Chunshan would speak at the right time and push the wine for his boss. The two of them had already cooperated.

Even the practice banquet a few days ago, my boss didn't drink it. At that time, Ding Chunshan also explained in time. Everyone expressed their understanding. The health was the first, and He Hanzhu naturally made a move, using tea instead of wine.

Whether this kind of barbecue exchange can be replaced by tea depends on the status of both parties and who wants to make friends with whom.

For those with high status and those who are asked to drink, they are certainly icing on the cake to save face, and not drinking is not a rude thing.

Ye Yunjin knew that Young Master Sun from the He family was in poor health when he was a child. Although he looked no different from ordinary people, since he spoke, how could he ask the other party to drink? He immediately ordered his servant to remove the guest's wine and replace it with tea. He smiled and said, "The doctor's advice is great. If you don't dislike me, if you come to me, everything will be like your own home, and convenience is the best."

Seeing that his task was completed, Ding Chunshan closed his mouth and was about to withdraw, but his boss raised his hand slightly and stopped the Su family servant who came to withdraw the wine. Then, he carried a pot and poured a cup, then stood up and smiled and said, "I am not a big deal. Mrs. Su is a hero among women. Hanzhu has been famous for a long time. I am lucky to drink today, so how can I be rude?"

After saying that, he raised his glass with both hands and drank it all in one go.

Ding Chunshan was surprised again. Ye Yunjin was also surprised. The elders of the Su family who were at the same table reacted and looked at Ye Yunjin one after another, with envy and jealousy in their eyes.

After He Hanzhu returned to the host's house, he continued to pour the second cup himself and gave Ye Ruchuan a separate cup. Finally, he poured the third cup and also greeted the elders of the Su family present together. Then he released the cup and asked the Ye brothers and sisters and the elders present to forgive him, saying that when he had the opportunity in the future, he would make up for his regrets today.

If it were to say that the first time I saw outside the door at the beginning, it might be an illusion, now Ye Yunjin no longer doubts about the style of Young Master Sun of the He family.

The other party is indeed in charge, and just now he was raising himself in front of the Su clan.

But she didn't understand why he was so respectful to himself and his brother. When she saw the uncles and uncles of the Su family at the same table shouting loudly, saying that he was so arrogant and said that he was so arrogant that he could only suppress his confusion and greet him with a smile.

Ye Yunjin specially invited the county chef to take care of the banquet.

There is a custom of serving guests in the local area. No matter how poor the family is, if the guests come to the door, there must be nine meat dishes on the table. In order to support the store, poor families fill the bowl with scraps or bamboo shoots, taro and vermicelli, and cover the surface with meat. In order to show their identity, wealthy families are not satisfied with ordinary meat dishes, and they will add various precious ingredients to the bowl, so tendons, sea cucumbers, shark fins, etc. are all included in the dishes.

What we were going to entertain guests today. On the Su family’s dining table, not only did the top side dishes be served, but nine bowls were also expanded into eighteen bowls, with delicacies and seas, all inclusive. The host deliberately made friends, and the guests put down their identities. The seven or eight elders of the Su family supported each other. It was a joyful atmosphere.

Ye Ruchuan was in a good mood and drank a lot before he knew it. He was a little drunk when he suddenly heard the sixth uncle of the Su family ask his son when he would return from school.

His heart skipped a beat.

My son had long abandoned school and returned to China, and now he is a small policeman in Tiancheng. How could he let others know about such embarrassment? After coming back before the New Year, he was so angry that he only complained in front of his sister Ye Yunjin alone. The outsiders kept it like an iron bucket, without mentioning a word, and even Honglian didn't know. Every time he was asked about someone, he would say that his son was still studying in the East. Unexpectedly, at this checkpoint tonight, he would ask about this.

His son became an official in the provincial capital. Ye Ruchuan knew that he had the idea of ​​comparing with him. If he told the truth, wouldn’t he be slapping himself in public and losing all his face, but he would have to open his eyes and tell lies, saying that his son is still studying abroad, and He Hanzhu, who is sitting at his hand, is clearly informed. How can he lie?

Ye Ruchuan couldn't speak immediately, and saw that everyone on the table looked at him, hesitating and unable to deal with it.

Ye Yunjin knew that his brother was polite. Seeing that he was asked, a layer of sweat burst out from his forehead. He was about to smooth things over and get over the problem, but suddenly he heard He Hanzhu say, "Uncle Six should be asking Xianqi? It's a coincidence that I met his cousin in Tiancheng a few years ago. I heard her mention it, saying that her cousin will graduate next year and has outstanding grades. When he comes back, he can show his skills."

When the elders of the Su family heard this, they hurriedly congratulated Ye Ruchuan and said that when Xianqi came back, he would be supported by He Hanzhu, his ready-made cousin, and would have a bright future in the future.

Ye Ruchuan would take the initiative to help him out before he arrived at He Hanzhu. He was relieved and didn't know what to say for a moment. He felt ashamed and grateful in his heart.

Ye Yunjin glanced at He Hanzhu.

There was no accident on the table next time. After a meal, I finally had a meal. All the uncles and uncles of the Su family, including Ye Ruchuan, were drunk and rushed to invite He Hanzhu to visit his home tomorrow. He Hanzhu responded casually for a few words, and everyone was supported by their families, and they went drunk and satisfied.

Ye Ruchuan was also very drunk. Ye Yunjin asked someone to send his brother to rest. He didn't go, so he broke free. He shook to He Hanzhu, patted him on the shoulder, and said with his tongue: "Big brother! It's so loyal! What's going on in the future? If I, Ye Ruchuan, don't respond, I will not be a human..." He shook for a moment, almost untenable. He Hanzhu was so quick-eyed that he held him with a hand and thanked him repeatedly.

Seeing that his brother was not drunk anymore, Ye Yunjin was afraid that he would make another joke in front of the guests, so he hurriedly called Su Zhong. Su Zhong pulled his uncle and forced him away, and the scene stopped.

It was getting late, so He Hanzhu naturally had to stay overnight tonight. Ye Yunjin and Honglian took a few servants to take the guests to the guest room to rest. On the way, Ye Yunjin didn't talk much, and only said a few polite words like Buzhou tonight. Honglian kept asking He Hanzhu about his young master's situation outside, asking him if he knew how the young master spent the winter vacation and who he spent the New Year with. He said: "Young Master is a child who I am looking at when I look at. For so many years, I have been to the farthest place I have been to, which is the provincial capital. Every year is spent at home, and this is the exception. At home, it is lively on New Year's Eve. Although I know that the young master is caring for you, my cousin, is naturally relieved, but I still have some concerns about her alone. If I talk too much, Commander He, don't be surprised."

He Hanzhu could see that the fat woman with little feet mentioned her, and her eyes were full of concern. Although Ye Yunjin, who was walking with her, didn't speak, she looked over, with a trace of unconcealed concern in her eyes. She felt guilty immediately, and she dared not say that she was with her.

He paused and said vaguely that he didn't know, but he heard that she was very popular with the principal and his wife. It seemed that she had spent the New Year's Eve at the principal's house and had the New Year's Eve dinner together.

Honglian was originally afraid that the young lady would spend the New Year alone and miserably. She felt sad when she thought of it. She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this and was very happy. She even said that the principal and his wife were good people and she wanted to go to the temple to pray for him and his wife.

Ye Yunjin also had a smile on her face, and sent him to the front of the yard, stopped, and asked him to go in and rest with a smile.

That night, lying on the Su family's bed, closing his eyes, and listening to the night wind blowing through the corridor outside the window, He Hanzhu couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Finally met her mother.

Ye Yunjin treated herself enthusiastically and thoughtful, but she would not have an uncomfortable and overly attentive behavior. This made He Hanzhu feel a long-lost feeling of being home-like.

He has a good impression of this woman who is very good at acting vigorously, and is also glad that he came here today and met her family.

For a moment, He Hanzhu even had an impulse to meet Ye Yunjin again immediately, tell her about her admiration for her daughter, hoping to obtain her permission.

However, this thought was like light and lightning, and as soon as it emerged, it immediately disappeared.

He hopes that he can confess his love for her to her relatives with dignity.

However, does he have such ability and qualifications?

What should a person who doesn't even know if there is any tomorrow to ask her chief for permission?

Ye Yunjin looked at him as a capable man, but his affection for his daughter was undoubtedly revealed. She and her brother Ye Ruchuan trusted him so much.

What did you do?

He is serious on the surface and is arrogant on the other hand, but has no personal morality on his back. Not only does he steal the Su family's fragrant jade, he still cannot take care of the future.

He was a little unimaginable. If one day they knew what they had done to her, how would they react?

He got what he wanted, got her, and gave her the ring engraved with his name, thinking that he promised.

However, can he believing in Hanzhu, and keeping this promise?

That night, He Hanzhu was like this, and fell asleep in the alternation of two completely different feelings of joy and guilt.

The next day, he woke up very early. Before dawn, he put on his clothes, came out of the room, and went to the yard to stretch his body and activate his muscles and bones.

When he was young, in order to strengthen his physique, his grandfather hired a famous martial artist to teach him fist and skillfully. From the age of six, he learned until he was twelve.

For so many years later, he struggled in the gutter. This was no longer a compulsory practice every morning. He didn't care about his body, but he did not completely abandon it in order to commemorate his deep-rooted grandfather.

Especially recently, after quitting smoking and drinking for her, he especially wanted to pick up this homework from childhood again.

He was calm and exerted as a mountain of force. After a set of punches and kicks, the sky was already bright. He stood in the yard, closed his eyes for a moment, opened his eyes, felt his ears and eyes clear, and his spirit was refreshed. His muscles and blood seemed to have been stretched, his limbs and bones were filled with strength, and his body was sweating.
