There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 259

The prince also sent someone to deliver a greeting card? !
The head of the Su family read this post with great seriousness, and his majestic old face was filled with joy.

Seeing this, the guests complimented each other one after another, and speculated that the prince intended to invite talented people from the Su family to the East Palace... So now the Su family is facing a problem:
Is this talented person from the Su family going to the Prison Department?
Or go to the East Palace?

It's so hard to choose!
Although everyone in the Su family found it difficult, everyone smiled excitedly. Although the choice was difficult, it was a happy difficulty.

Before the matter could be discussed to a conclusion, suddenly another boy ran over shouting:

"Head of the family, head of the house, the head of the Liu family sent someone to send a greeting card, and will pay a visit in person soon..."

"..."

"Oh? The head of the Liu family came to visit in person? Please bring the greeting card and have a look."

After the head of the Su family took the greeting card and read it, his majestic old face showed not only a smile, but also a deep sense of pride and a hint of reserve.

The greeting was polite and almost flattering, and the head of the Liu family also expressed his wish to marry the Su family.

After everyone learned about this, they all turned to look at the young-skinned talented man from the Su family and complimented:
"Congratulations to the talented man Su. The Prison Department and the East Palace sent people to invite you, and later the head of the Liu family came to discuss the marriage in person!"

"Although the Liu family has declined greatly over the years, it has always been a powerful family, and it is on par with the talented Su... It's gratifying, it's gratifying!"

"..."

The enthusiastic compliments from all the guests made everyone in the Su family feel happy.

Although the Liu family has declined greatly, it is still a powerful family, and the head of the Liu family personally visited to discuss the marriage, which can be said to be a sign of sincerity.

In the past, the Su family and the Liu family were both aristocratic families, and they had a relationship of cooperation and competition.

The heads of the two families are secretly competing with each other.

Now, the head of the Liu family actually paid a visit in person... In terms of status, he was a bit shorter, and correspondingly, the status of the head of the Su family was elevated.

This made him very satisfied.

The talented man from the Su family beside him became more and more pleasing to the eye.

Because all of this comes from this younger generation.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the "Qilin son" of the Su family...

After a while, the compliments from the guests gradually weakened. At this time, another boy ran into the flower hall, shouting all the way:

"The head of the family, the head of the family... Dalang of the Lin family has sent a greeting card. He will also visit us soon..."

"..."

"The Dalang of the Lin family is coming too?" The head of the Su family was so happy that he couldn't help but smile. He took the invitation and read it, then his expression turned strange.

Because this greeting also expresses the meaning of marriage.

There are many marriages between their major families, and intermarriage is commonplace.

The reason why the Dalangs of the Lin family expressed the intention of marriage in their greetings was more out of politeness.

But the head of the Su family and everyone in the Su family don't think this is a courtesy.

Because just now, the Liu family wanted to marry their Su family.

The enthusiastic guests complimented the Su family's talented man again and invented a new term "Liu Lin vying for son-in-law", which means that the Liu family and the Lin family competed for the Su family's talented son-in-law at the same time.

This is undoubtedly a great recognition and respect for the talents of the Su family.

"The Liu family has declined greatly in recent years... and the Lin family is the best among our major families. They still have people in the court..."

"I, the Qilin'er of the Su family, have been praised by Her Majesty the Queen, and favored by the Prison Department's Young Sikou and the Prince of the East Palace. My future achievements are limitless... We still need to be very careful about our marriage!"

"..."

The head of the Su family held several greeting cards in his hand and read them over and over again, especially the greeting cards from the Liu family and the Lin family.

When everyone heard the words, they immediately understood what they meant.

The head of the Su family is looking down on the Liu family...

The enthusiastic guests immediately began to disparage the Liu family and praise the Gao Lin family. They also counted the number of daughters of the right age in the Lin family and commented on them one by one.

He even selected some of the Lin family’s most distinguished legitimate daughters for the Su family’s talents…

Everyone in the Su family was immediately very happy and communicated enthusiastically with the guests. In the end, everyone thought that the youngest daughter of the head of the Lin family was very suitable for a talented person in the Su family.

The talented man of the Su family did not participate in these matters. He just stood beside the head of the Su family and listened silently, with infinite expectations in his heart.

Sure enough, reading is good.

Once you get ahead, you gain both fame and wealth, and a beautiful woman, everything comes together at once...

Not long after, the boy came to report:
"Master of the family, master of the family... Young Sikou of the Prison Department, Chang Shi of the East Palace, the head of the Liu family, Dalang of the Lin family, their carriages or sedan chairs have all appeared on the street, and they will be here soon!"

"..."

Hearing this, the head of the Su family waved his hand fiercely, and everyone's heated discussion stopped abruptly.

Then he took the talents of the Su family with him and personally led the Su family and guests to welcome him out of the house.

Four distinguished guests arrived at the same time, which was beyond everyone's expectations...

On the street outside the Su family's house, two sedan chairs and two carriages were already parked on the street.

The young Sikou of the Criminal and Prison Department, the Chief of the East Palace, the head of the Liu family, and Dalang of the Lin family got off the sedan or alight at the same time.

The four of them landed on their feet and saw each other at the same time.

Looking at each other, the four of them remained silent and distanced themselves silently with sullen faces. They neither exchanged pleasantries nor said hello.

Today, the four of them all understand that the other three are their "enemies" and there is no need to exchange pleasantries.

The head of the Su family chuckled and came forward to bow to each other. They greeted each other and said:

"Shaosi Kou, Li Changshi, the head of the Liu family, and Dalang of the Lin family, four distinguished guests are here together. The humble house is really full of splendor. Welcome, welcome!"

"..."

Shao Sikou and the other four people returned the greetings one by one, and their attitudes were quite acceptable.

Especially Shao Si Kou and Dong Gong Chang Shi, they even bowed in person in return... This made the head of the Su family very happy.

You know, since the collective decline of the aristocratic families, the Prison Secretary has become a person that the aristocratic families need to look up to.

There are also people from the East Palace, whose status is even more distinguished.

But now, both the young Sikou and the head of the East Palace bowed to him in return... This was the first time in more than ten years!The head of the Su family was overjoyed.

After the ceremony.

Dalang of the Lin family glanced at the Su Mansion decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and couldn't help but wonder:
"Master Su, is there any happy event in your house?"

"..."

Shaosikou, Li Changshi, the head of the Liu family, and other three people also noticed the lanterns and decorations in the Su family, and they all looked at the head of the Su family, waiting for his explanation.

The head of the Su family was stunned, his gray eyebrows moved slightly, and he thought to himself: "That shouldn't be the case. They came for my Su family's Qilin'er. Don't they know how happy my Su family is today?"

However, there are really too many happy events today, and the Patriarch of the Su family didn't think much about it.

He did not answer Dalang of the Lin family directly, but waved sideways to the talented Su family behind him and ordered with a smile:
"What are you still doing standing behind? Come up quickly, I've seen all of you distinguished guests!"

"Yes!"

"..."
