Chapter 322

"Ma'am, Mr. Sun, the internal servant, is here." Ban Xia broke the curtain and entered the room to report.

"Oh." Zhou Xining turned his head in response, then turned around and picked up a light yellow jacket and a plain skirt, and after gesturing on Su Yue's body, he smiled and pushed her inside to try it on.

Su Yue hugged her dress and smiled, turned around the screen and went inside, while Zhou Xining left Pinellia to watch in the room, and took Lonicera to the front hall.

Zhou Xining sat in the hall, and just as he picked up his tea and took a sip, Sun Li was ushered into the hall.

"I've met the county magistrate." When Sun Li saw Zhou Xining, he got up and greeted him, and he walked forward to salute when he was still far away.

"I don't know why the Chief Inspector came here this time?" Zhou Xining smiled, and stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation.Sitting down again, he lowered his eyes and asked.

Uh……

The smile on Sun Li's face faltered, the emperor's head was naturally able to invite people to come to ask his ministers to hold a spring banquet, but he couldn't open his mouth to ask directly.So he had to figure out what the emperor wanted to ask, and he also had to keep his eyes open.

Otherwise, with Zhou Xining's sharp mouth, he might spit out some choking words.

After all, once the emperor intervened in the banquet in the mansion of his ministers, it was really... a bit outrageous.

"It's nothing. I'm out of the palace today on business. I happened to pass by here, so I came in brazenly to ask the county magistrate for a cup of tea, and I also took a break." Sun Li said as he picked up the tea and waited for Zhou Xining. Answer the call.

Zhou Xining lowered his eyes slightly and glanced at Sun Li out of the corner of his eyes, then took a small sip of tea.If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, you are talking about this Sun Li, the internal servant supervisor, the emperor's close servant, who came to the mansion just to ask for a cup of tea?
Who believes it?Like to talk or not, if he doesn't take the initiative to say what he wants, then she will just think he is here for tea.It's only a cup of tea soup, she can still afford it.

Seeing that Zhou Xining was only eating tea and had no intention of answering the question, Sun Li said, "People outside say that the gentleman forest in the mansion is going to hold a banquet for outsiders. I wonder if the county lord has heard of it?"

Came for the spring feast?Are you so free?

"Well, Junzilin is not the right place to hold a banquet. I want to hold a spring banquet in the mansion, and I chose Junzilin to entertain guests. On March [-]th, I wonder if my lord can come to the mansion for a while?"

With a suitable smile on his lips, Zhou Xining sincerely extended an invitation to Sun Li.

The corner of Sun Li's mouth twitched, and he said that no one would hold a banquet to invite the servants of the palace, even if Zhou Xining really wanted to invite him, he would have to have his life.

The internal servants in the palace have dinner in the courtier's mansion?He doesn't think his life is too long!
"Oh, the county magistrate shows love, but is disrespectful!"

Seeing that there was no abnormality on Zhou Xining's face, and the smile on his lips deepened, he said before she could speak, "It's just that I don't feel at ease with those little bastards serving His Majesty, and His Majesty has been serving His Majesty for so many years." If you are used to my service, you still have to live up to the kindness of the county magistrate."

Zhou Xining sighed, and a look of regret flashed across his face, but then he raised his smile and said, "Since we just have time today, why don't we just sit a little longer, Master Hou is gone The Xia family sent a message, and it is estimated that they will be back soon."

Sun Li's eyelids trembled, and he felt embarrassed for a while. Here he was worried that he didn't have a suitable reason to ask, but on her side, she kept talking about the spring banquet.

This is simply driving people to death!

But looking at Zhou Xining's clear eyes and smiling face, he probably didn't know why he came.

Zhou Xining glanced at Sun Li, and the smile on his face deepened.

Well, I don't know the reason for coming here, so why don't you tell me about the spring banquet, let me see if I can't hold you to death!

"My lord, have some tea." Zhou Xining stepped aside with a smile.

Glancing at Zhou Xining, who was always smiling, Sun Li gritted his teeth and gave up.

"I don't know what is the meaning of the county lord's spring banquet?"

Why are you still at the spring banquet?Could it be that they came here for the spring banquet?Then the reason for this is... intriguing.

"Profound? Yes, didn't you see that all the people I invited were families with marriageable children?" Zhou Xining blinked, without hiding anything, and directly revealed her original intention for hosting the banquet.

Sun Li: ...

Is Zhou Xining so free?The two children are not busy enough for her, so she still wants to be a matchmaker?Oh, how old is she?Sun Li raised his forehead a little.

But if you think about it carefully, the spring banquets, summer banquets, snow appreciation banquets, tea tasting banquets and so on held by people in Beijing are all for the convenience of seeing each other.

Look at each other?

Zhou Xining wants to take a concubine for He Beiting?No, ancestors of the He family can only take concubines when they are over forty years old and have no children.When the Empress Dowager wanted to give Xia Xin to He Beiting as his second wife, at that time Zhou Xining was still seriously injured and childless, and he insisted on holding on to the He family's ancestral precepts.What's more, now that she has given birth to twin sons in the first year of her marriage, it is even more impossible for her to enter the He family as a concubine.

"Hey, is the magistrate going to be the old man under the moon?" Sun Li looked at Zhou Xining curiously.

"It's true to say that, but to be precise, I want to keep my cousin in Beijing as a companion, so naturally I have to help her find someone who is destined to be here in Beijing, isn't it?"

Zhou Xining glanced at Sun Li who was obviously stunned, and then said: "I was thinking that if I really found a suitable one at the spring banquet, I would have the audacity to go to the palace and ask the emperor for a favor and a marriage."

Sun Li: ...

How dare you think!You are the Lord of Yongshun County, you are Madam Hou of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion, you have a big face, and you have a hard head...

Sun Li pursed his lips tightly and remained silent for a long while, how should he answer the conversation?He can't take that!Can he still decide for the emperor?
Now that Zhou Xining has found out the deep meaning of the spring banquet, he should go back to the palace to deal with business.As for whether what she said is true or false, we will find out after the spring banquet.There is Longting Suwei on this errand, so he doesn't have to suffer here.

Thinking of this, Sun Li put down the teacup in his hand and stood up.

"Thank you for the good tea, the county lord. It's not too long before it comes out, and it's time to go back to the palace to meet business."

Zhou Xining also got up, and said while sending it out, "Let's have another cup of tea, Lord Hou will be back soon."

Just as he was talking, He Beiting walked in from the outside, and glanced at the faces of Zhou Xining and Sun Li, and he had a solid foundation in his heart.

"Let's go now?"

While saluting, Sun Li smiled and said why he stopped by to ask for tea.

Zhou Xining winked at He Beiting, and then said with a smile, "Since Lord Hou is back, I'll go back first."

At the same time as the words fell, Yingying was blessed, and turned around from the side door to the inner house.

The matter of finding out Sun Li's intention of coming was left to He Beiting, and she would not accompany her. An old man was treacherous and cunning, and he had eaten two cups of tea in a daze to say nothing of his coming.

Also drop in to rest your feet and ask for a cup of tea?How foolish she is!

Even if the purpose of coming is unknown, it is estimated that there is no serious matter.

Really, it's no reason to bother her and Su Yue trying on clothes.
