Chapter 37: The hall is waiting
On the main table, Old Master Shangguan's face was red and gray-white hair seemed to have a lot of shiny. He was about to speak.
Next to him, someone suddenly said, "It's too early to start the meal at this time."
Old Master Shangguan frowned slightly.
The person who spoke was surnamed Chen, and the eldest son of the Chen family.
The young master Chen was wearing a white shirt, holding a folding fan in his left hand, and said lightly: "It seems that it has not arrived yet, and the time has not arrived yet."
There are many things that have not arrived, but who dares to let the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet wait?
A hint of chill flashed through the old master Shangguan's eyes.
The Grand Secretary Su seemed to be distracted and was whispering to Master Gan Si.
The eyes of most people in the field were actually not concentrated on Mr. Shangguan, but on the Grand Secretary and Mr. Gan Si.
The fourth master Gan still looked casual in everything, but he was much more energetic than the rumors, and was not as depressed as he was.
As for this senior citizen who is the first-rank official, although he dresses simply, he still has a bit of heavy meaning. It is not the power of a high position, but just the heavy bookish spirit accumulated over decades of study, just like an old man in a private school.
But no one dares to underestimate this seemingly ordinary old scholar.
Mr. Chen put down the folding fan and said to Master Su: "It is said that Master Su should not let you wait here, but the two people who have not arrived are indispensable. It is really inappropriate to start the meeting at this time."
Hearing this, he seemed to want Mr. Su to wait?
Everyone was slightly surprised.
What are the origins of the two people who have not arrived yet? What made Mr. Chen so rude?
If it is not good, it will offend the Grand Secretary.
Grand Secretary Su was having a great time with his friend Gan Siye, but he didn't pay much attention to the banquet. It would be better to have a few more talks with an old friend whom he hadn't seen for many years.
When people get old, I don’t know if I can see you again next time, and I don’t know how many more words I can say.
Hearing Mr. Chen speak, he waved his hand and said, "Come on the etiquette. Since there are people who have not arrived, wait for them. If the original time has passed, they will not be able to move on again."
Mr. Gan seemed to be smiling and said, "Old Su won't ask which two people asked you to wait?"
Mr. Su said: "Do you know?"
Mr. Gan Si said, "Of course I know, but since Mr. Chen has started this, please ask him to say it."
Mr. Chen bowed to Mr. Gan Si and then smiled and said, "This is the first one, of course, the Lord of the Prefecture. I believe that the Shangguan family has prepared an invitation. Even if the Lord of the Prefecture does not come in person, I believe that someone will be sent. But the time has not arrived, so it is inappropriate to wait for the Lord of the Prefecture."
Grand Secretary Su nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Liu Junliu has a lot of things to do every day and has few free time. We should respect it yourself. Who is the other one?"
Mr. Chen said: "This man's surname is Qin and he is a doctor in the martial arts world."
Master Gan suddenly sneered.
The doctor of the martial arts world has a completely different identity from the doctor in the medicine hall.
The doctors in the martial arts world have no place to live, they don’t know the details, they don’t know the good or evil. Although they are named as doctors to cure diseases and save people, they are actually not clear about the medical skills, and there are also cases where doctors in the martial arts world have killed people and transferred them to other places.
"Submit Qin?" Grand Secretary Su was slightly surprised and said, "I heard that there was a famous doctor in Fengxing Mansion, and his surname was Qin. He had a very high medical skills. Someone had invited him to Beijing and become an imperial doctor in the palace, but he refused. Could you be the one you are talking about?"
Qin Mingjin was once invited to Beijing?
This is rarely heard of.
Many people looked at each other.
Old Master Shangguan sighed.
Mr. Chen was also slightly stunned, but finally smiled and said, "My dear doctor Qin, Qin Mingjin, he had been infected a few years ago. What I said was his only son, Qin Xianyu."
"Did you die?" Grand Secretary Su sighed slightly and laughed again: "Then why is this son of the miraculous doctor standing by side with Lord Liu? He is an indispensable figure?"
When Master Su said this, it was obvious that Mr. Chen's trick of praising and killing was extremely obvious. Mr. Shangguan, who knew the thin inner body, had a deeper expression.
Mr. Chen smiled and said, "I heard that this young master Qin has grown up with a Taoist priest since he was a child and has learned some things about gods and ghosts. I don't know much about the medical skills, but he is a Taoist priest."
After hearing this, Grand Secretary Su was already a little displeased. People who read books hate these nonsense about monsters and monsters the most.
Mr. Chen was secretly happy. If Mr. Su had a disgust towards Qin Xianyu, saying a few words at critical moments would be of great importance. Thinking of this, Mr. Chen said again: "Actually, this person is insignificant, but he has..."
Just about to tell the engagement.
At this time, the old manager came in.
Behind him, there was another person.
Everyone turned around and saw a young man walking into the hall.
Seeing this person, Mr. Chen's smile became brighter and brighter. He gently shook the folding fan and said with a smile: "Here you come."
Originally, a doctor's son and a little Taoist priest were indeed insignificant, but as Mr. Chen said before, everyone had already become interested.
The people at the wine table are all the big names in Fengxing Mansion and even other provincial governments. They are either famous people in one aspect, high-powered officials, or wealthy people in the rich.
All of these characters have a very high status, and any look can make ordinary people frighten.
Many big shots turned around and looked at them. It was like oppressing a mountain when they fell on ordinary people.
Even the great manager of the Shangguan family was suffocating, but he had been a slave for decades and knew the way to be a slave. He lowered his head and still seemed calm.
But the one who admires the most is this little Taoist priest.
The visitor was only a young man, wearing a light-colored Taoist robe, with a fair face, and a bit scholarly, but he seemed weak, but he had a little deep and mysterious meaning, leisurely and profound.
The young Taoist priest looked at the big figures in the hall and smiled indifferently.
Like the breeze, like the water.
Thousands of pressure pass by with one stroke.
"You are Qin Xianyu?"
Grand Secretary Su couldn't help but feel a little happy when he looked at him. Although this young man was dressed as a Taoist priest, he looked like a scholar with literary spirit. Moreover, his pure and extraordinary temperament was actually a material that could be made.
The displeasure caused by the Taoist identity has long been thrown out of the sky.
Qin Xianyu bowed slightly and said, "That's right."
Grand Secretary Su smiled and said, "Good boy, let everyone present wait."
Qin Xianyu accused everyone twice.
The old manager led him into the seat.
"Slow down!"
Mr. Chen said slowly: "Since you are here for a banquet, you should have a gift."
After saying that, he put down the folding fan, took out something, presented it with both hands, and said to Mr. Shangguan: "I just gave me the congratulations of my Chen family, but I forgot that I have a gift for me as a junior. Although it is unreasonable to offer it at this time, I would be rude, but I would like to ask the old master to accept it."
Old Master Shangguan glanced at it and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Even Grand Secretary Su showed a look of surprise.
It was a wooden box made of purple gold sandalwood.
