A car accident, our family of three crossed

Chapter 249 The girl said the cakes were not clean

Dean Cao sighed artificially, and then said: "Speaking of which, I also know that man. He was a student of my Qingyun Academy. He is a country boy and has never seen the world. If you find him, I hope that Manager Zhou will consider my face and not embarrass him and just drive him out."

Zhou Huan had to try his best to endure it so as not to be laughed at in public. This guy named Cao might be here to make people laugh!

When he looked up, he saw several young men walking towards him from the direction of the garden. The two leading them were handsome and had their own strengths. One of them was Hang Shuheng, and the other was Zhou Huan's eldest son, Zhou Ting.

Zhou Huan pointed over there and said with a smile: "Dean Cao, the person you are talking about, could it be that Hang Tongsheng? I remember that he was also a student of Qingyun Academy, but I don't know why he dropped out."

Everyone's eyes turned towards the garden, where the young people were walking towards them, chatting and laughing.

Dean Cao looked at Hang Shuheng and saw that he was talking and laughing with a young man he had never seen before. He did not feel guilty at all because he had sneaked in.

Could it be that he was wrong?

Soon, Hang Shuheng and Zhou Ting walked into the flower hall together and saluted Zhou Huan.

"father."

"Shopkeeper Zhou." In such occasions, he didn't want to act like he was very familiar with the Zhou family, so as not to make people jealous and cause trouble, just like Dean Cao, whose mind was smaller than the eye of a needle.

However, Zhou Huan did not follow his wishes. He patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Why, you are being polite to your uncle at this time?" Then, Zhou Huan introduced him to everyone, "Everyone, this is the Hang Tongsheng who made a name for himself in the county a while ago. I'm sure many of you have heard of him!"

Hang Shuheng resisted the urge to hold his forehead, "Uncle, can we be a little more low-key?" At this point, he could only bow to everyone and say, "Junior, I am here to show my respect."

Even if it was to give Zhou Huan face, everyone would not embarrass him. What's more, the incident with the Wan family did attract the attention of many literati, and they would not underestimate this legendary Hang Tongsheng.

"We admire Hang Tongsheng's deeds."

Afterwards, Zhou Huan looked at Dean Cao, who looked extremely unhappy at the moment, and said with a smile: "Dean Cao may have some misunderstanding about Shuheng. I must explain to you that Shuheng does not have an invitation. Dean Cao, you are right about this. It's just that I personally invited them and did not send them an invitation. Therefore, I told the concierge to let them in early this morning."

Dean Cao's face suddenly turned as colorful as a colorful plate that had been overturned. He pulled the corners of his mouth forcefully, "That's good, that's what I misunderstood."

As the host, Zhou Huan couldn't let the guests be too embarrassed, so he tried to smooth things over. "If there is a misunderstanding, just explain it clearly. Dean Cao has good intentions. He is afraid that his former student will be punished for this, and he is also afraid that everyone here will be offended."

Dean Cao's expression relaxed and he smiled awkwardly, but in his heart he resented his former student. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have fallen into such an embarrassing situation.

At this moment, the doorman hurried in and reported, "Sir, the prefect and the county magistrate have arrived."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan bowed to everyone and said, "Please wait a moment, I'll be leaving now." After that, he led Zhou Ting towards the gate.

He went out in person to greet the prefect. What could the crowd say? Who dared to say anything?

Zhou Huan and his son soon arrived at the gate and walked out quickly, "Hahaha! Your Excellency the prefect, the county magistrate, and the county magistrate, we are sorry for not welcoming you from afar, we are sorry for not welcoming you from afar!"

Zhou Ting took a step behind and bowed to greet the people outside the door, "Junior Zhou Ting, greetings to the three adults."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young girl jumped out of a carriage outside the door and ran to him with her skirt lifted up, "Brother Ting, it really is you."

Zhou Ting was stunned for a moment, and carefully looked at the girl in front of him. She looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, very lively and quirky. He felt that there was a hint of familiarity in her.

"You, you are... Sister Yunxi?" Zhou Ting was very surprised, "You have grown so big?" After not seeing her for a long time, the little girl has grown into a graceful young lady.

When Zhao Yunxi called out her name, her eyes lit up immediately. She raised her chin proudly and said, "How is it? Am I getting prettier?"

"Yeah! She's so pretty that I can hardly recognize her."

The little girl was unhappy again when she heard this, and pouted her lips and said, "Humph! Do you mean I wasn't pretty before?"

"Uh...that's not what I meant."

The prefect, Zhao Kunshen, came over, pointed at his precious daughter with his folding fan, and said lovingly, "This girl, I heard that Brother Ting is coming back this year, and she insisted on coming with me to the banquet."

"That's not the case." Zhao Yunxi blushed. She would never admit such a thing. "I haven't seen Uncle Zhou and Sister Ru for a long time. I missed them."

“Okay, okay! Uncle Zhou knows about my niece’s intention. I’ll have someone take you to the garden to enjoy the flowers. Your sister Ru is there.” As he said that, he called a servant and took Zhao Yunxi to the garden.

At this time, many ladies and young ladies gathered in the garden, each talking to someone they were familiar with. Song Ning was not familiar with these people, so he took Yang Yang to sit in a corner of the pavilion, drinking tea and eating snacks.

Cao Qianyu was also alone, staying on the other side with her maid. It was not that she didn't want to chat with someone, but the ladies here were almost all from merchants' families, and she had nothing to talk about with these lowly merchant women.

Looking at the mother and son opposite, who had been eating since they came in, like starving ghosts, she couldn't help but look down on them. Country people are country people. No matter how pretty they are, they are still country women who have never seen the world, as if they have never eaten delicious food.

Her gaze was too direct for Song Ning to ignore, so he looked over and met her gaze, "Why are you looking at me like this, young lady? Do you also want to eat the cake in my hand?"

Cao Qianyu didn't expect the other party to look back at her and ask like that. She couldn't think of a more appropriate answer for a moment. Could she say that she didn't like her? Obviously not.

Before she could think of a good way to speak, her maid Xiaorou spoke first, angrily saying, "Who wants to eat your cakes? After being touched by people like you, who knows if they are clean or not?"

Song Ning said "oh", stared at the pastries on the plate for a moment, then called a servant.

"Madam Hang, is there anything you need?" The servants in the Zhou Mansion were no strangers to Song Ning.

Song Ning pointed at the cakes on the plate, then pointed at the maid opposite who was talking, and said, "That girl said your cakes are not clean."
