Why do I have the lowest fighting ability among the whole family?

Chapter 276 Tinglan (10)
"Miss."

Hua Que looked at her from the side and said cautiously: "You must not be soft-hearted."

How long has this been going on, Hua Que is still afraid that his young lady will become soft-hearted and forgive Pei Jingshuo.

"Don't worry." Song Tinglan smiled at her.

Seeing his lady's assurance, Hua Que breathed a sigh of relief.

A few days passed quickly, and soon it was time for Lin Xuqiu and Song Tinglan to agree.

Early in the morning, the Lin family's carriage stopped in front of the Duke of Song's Mansion, and Lin Xuqiu was so nervous the night before that he almost didn't fall asleep. He wanted to come over before dawn, but was persuaded by the Lin family's parents. It's only now that I've been waiting.

But until now, he was still very excited, and it was almost uneasy to sit in the carriage.

The concierge came in and announced that Lin Xuqiu couldn't sit still in the carriage. He had already got out of the carriage and stood by the carriage waiting expectantly. His eyes were glued to the door of Song Mansion and refused to move away.

And Song Tinglan also packed up early in the morning.

But she really didn't expect that the other party would come so early. When she heard the maid's announcement, she was still having breakfast with Mrs. Song.

As soon as she heard it clearly, she wanted to put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands and go out, but was stopped by Mrs. Song.

Mrs. Song held her back with a smile: "Please invite Mr. Lin in first."

Both of them were quite satisfied with Lin Xuqiu's attitude.

Coming early means that the other party takes you seriously and can't wait.

"Why did you invite people in?" Song Tinglan didn't understand. "My daughter has almost finished eating, so she can just go out."

Mrs. Song gave her a funny look.

"Don't you look at what time it is? Sihai Penglai hasn't opened the door yet at this hour, right?"

After Mrs. Song explained this, Song Tinglan reacted with embarrassment.

The opening time of Sihai Penglai is relatively late, and it takes a full hour to wait until Chen hour. But now it is only Mao hour, and there is still an hour before Sihai Penglai opens its doors.

"Coming here so early shows that the other party values ​​you. In that case, why not invite him in to have a meal together?"

The war between men and women in Nan Ruan is not that serious. It is only about the same as men and women sitting on different seats at the age of eight. If it were only Song Tinglan himself, it would indeed be a bit unruly for the two of them to eat in the Song Mansion, but with the presence of Mrs. Song , there is no such problem at all.

Lin Xuqiu didn't expect that he would be invited in. When the maid came to tell him, he asked again in disbelief.

It wasn't until the maid repeated it that he followed her in. However, he was so nervous that he couldn't even walk with the same hands and feet.

This was the first time Mrs. Song had met Lin Xuqiu.

She had long been curious about the young man who could be praised so highly by Mr. Cheng, and when she saw him, she was really surprised.

Lin Xuqiu, on the other hand, greeted him politely.

He did not dare to look directly at Mrs. Song, so he lowered his head slightly.

Mrs. Song was also looking him up and down.

"Sit down." She said softly to Lin Xuqiu, and then raised her voice to tell the maid: "Songzhu, go get a pair of bowls and chopsticks."

Lin Xuqiu really didn't eat when he went out. At that time, he was full of excitement, just waiting to get along with Song Tinglan, and was not interested in anything. But when he realized it, he realized that he had been hungry for a long time. Memorized.

Therefore, he did not refuse Mrs. Song's invitation. There were three seats at the table. Lin Xuqiu wanted to sit next to Song Tinglan, but he chose the middle one, which was not close to Song Tinglan or Mrs. Song.

Seeing this detail, Mrs. Song nodded with satisfaction.

There are not many people who know etiquette like this.

Mrs. Song had already inquired about the situation in Lin Xuqiu's family. He was the legitimate son of the imperial censor, and the imperial censor had only one heir. There was only Lin Xuqiu's mother as his wife in the house, and there were no concubines.

This shows that the family tradition is good.

And this Lin Xuqiu does not have an official position now. I heard that he is still studying, but he has just passed the exam. Although to the Duke of Song Dynasty, the exam is nothing, but he is not very old, so he can be regarded as having merit and fame.

Apart from the fact that his background was too low, Mrs. Song was quite satisfied with him.

It's just that being born low has its advantages. Mrs. Cheng has promised that she will ask the Queen Mother to marry her. If the two of them can get married by then, Song Tinglan will marry low and she will definitely not be wronged in her husband's family in the future.

After figuring this out, Mrs. Song became more and more satisfied with Lin Xuqiu.

"I heard that you are still studying? Which college are you in?"

Mrs. Song asked seemingly unintentionally.

When he heard the question, Lin Xuqiu hurriedly stopped his chopsticks and swallowed what was in his mouth before answering.

"It's at Qinglin Academy. After the autumn period, there should be no need to go there again."

Mrs. Song knew that he was usually one of the best in the academies, and Qinglin Academy was the best academy, having produced countless number one scholars throughout the ages.

If he is one of the best in Qinglin Academy, he will definitely be among the top three in the imperial examination.

Mrs. Song was quite satisfied with this, and asked a few questions at random, and Lin Xuqiu answered them calmly.

At the beginning, he was still a little nervous when facing Mrs. Song.

However, he had almost calmed down this time. If his attitude had been tense, Mrs. Song would definitely feel that he was not worthy of being on the stage, so Lin Xuqiu relaxed a little.

After asking, Mrs. Song's favorable impression of Lin Xuqiu skyrocketed.

This is countless times better than that brat from the Cheng family who doesn't know etiquette, and he can be considered a good match for Ting Lan.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Mrs. Song called the maid to clear away the dishes. After serving tea, they chatted back and forth for a while before she let them go.

When walking out of the teahouse, Lin Xuqiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Even when he was facing his master or taking exams in the academy, he had never been so nervous. Especially when Song Tinglan looked over just now, his heart almost rose to his throat.

The two of them did not ride in the same carriage. Lin Xuqiu led the way, and Song Tinglan followed behind.

This place is not far from Chaoyang Lane, and a few people arrived in about the time of a stick of incense.

It was Lin Xuqiu's first time here, but Song Tinglan had been here before and was familiar with it.

Lin Xuqiu was not very interested in these things, and he didn't know much about them. He only occasionally heard people mention them in the academy. He suddenly remembered how rare, rare and exquisite these things from Penglai were.

This is his first time to Sihai Penglai.

As soon as you entered the door, a little maid led the way, and the carriage was parked on the other side. If you wanted to ride a carriage in the shop, you could only choose to rent one from Sihai Penglai.

Lin Xuqiu naturally chose to rent a carriage.
