Chapter 1094: Chapter 907 County Master Qingping_3
Together they headed towards the men’s guest seats.
On the men’s side, all were men of great scholarship, and most of them had official titles.
Especially Pan’Er’s father, the fifth son of the Xie Family, who, despite his leg inconvenience, was full of poetry and books. Today, he was merely there for discussions between Xie Si and a group of scholars, but unexpectedly, the eldest son of the left minister’s family, Song Da Gongzi, started talking about the water management problems he encountered during his studies.
Water management has been a thorny issue since ancient times. Even in today’s Great Han, no one has made significant achievements in this area.
Thus, some people truly wanted to specialize in this field.
But Song Da Gongzi sincerely wanted to manage the water well, to provide a stable homeland along the riverbanks for the people!
This problem, when it comes down to it, is actually basic mathematics.
At first, even people like Lu Yunsheng could contribute a few words, but eventually, only Xie Si could extend and elaborate with Song Da Gongzi.
Song Da Gongzi suddenly cast an admiring gaze at Xie Si. Truly, as the closing disciple of Wei Taifu, his insights and talents were distinct.
However, gradually, Xie Si couldn’t keep up with Song Da Gongzi’s thoughts.
Although Song Da Gongzi admired Xie Si greatly, he couldn’t go deeper into the topic, causing some disappointment.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xie Wulang joined in. He shared his perspective and rolled his wheelchair to break off a plum branch to use as a stylus, drawing maps and riverbanks directly in the snow.
His insight and ideas were refreshing and eye-opening.
"Quick! Youzhi, bring me paper and brush, I must take down the Xie Family head’s ideas, don’t let it slip away!"
Seeing the maps Xie Wulang drew, Song Da Gongzi was utterly delighted as if he had found a treasure.
Ji Youzhi gestured, and a maid brought over paper and brush. Song Da Gongzi quickly seized them and transcribed the notes from the snow onto the paper with annotations.
"And then? Xie Family head, why did you stop writing?"
Feeling impatient while transcribing the crucial parts, Song Da Gongzi turned around to find Xie Wulang taking a big gulp of wine and then falling asleep!
At that moment, he had a smile on his face!
Everyone present was stunned, especially Xie Si!
"Father!"
He tried calling twice, but Xie Wulang did not respond.
"Father! Father!"
He called again, still no response.
"Stop calling, Father is just happy, he drank too much."
Xie Pan’Er’s voice carried a tone of sobbing, but she managed to hold back.
"What’s this..."
Someone wondered why there was a woman at the men’s guest seats, but upon seeing her uniform, they understood her identity.
"Greetings to the County Master of Qingping!"
It turned out to be the same Xie Pan’Er who had meritorious deeds in disaster relief, saved the Emperor’s life, and accompanied the Empress Dowager in the Palace!
She was the daughter of the Xie Family head, Xie Si’s sister!
"Sister! Why did you come? This is the men’s guest area, you should go back, it’s not appropriate for you to be here!"
Seeing Xie Pan’Er coming over, Xie Si was quite anxious and hurriedly asked her to return.
"It’s okay, it was this old one who brought Pan’Er here. Today is a joyous day for adopting a daughter, and I’m hosting this banquet.
I invited you all to personally witness it!
Therefore, during this banquet, I brought her myself to introduce her to everyone!"
Madam Ji stepped forward to say this, and naturally, no one else had anything more to say.
They all paid respect and asked after Madam Ji’s well-being.
Madam Ji waved her hand and said to Ji Youzhi, "These are all your invited friends, quickly introduce them to your sister!"
Ji Youzhi naturally knew why his old mother brought Xie Pan’Er here; it was obviously an overt opportunity to scrutinize Lu Yunsheng.
Actually, for his old mother to see Lu Yunsheng, it wouldn’t need to be this troublesome, but mainly they were paving the way for Xie Pan’Er’s future!
So this banquet had to be held!
"Alright, sister, this is your biological brother Xie Si, you recognize him, right?"
Seeing Xie Pan’Er a bit nervous, Ji Youzhi first brought Xie Si to the front and made a little joke with him.
Xie Pan’Er smiled with her lips pursed.
"Of course! Seventh Brother always jokes with us siblings!"
Ji Youzhi then pushed Xie Si aside, and pointed to Lu Yunsheng.
"This is the son of the Lu Family, Lu Yunsheng!"
After introducing him to Xie Pan’Er, he pulled Lu Yunsheng over and said to Madam Ji, "Mother! This is the son of the Lu Family, take a look, isn’t he a truly handsome young man?"
Following his words, Madam Ji indeed began to scrutinize Lu Yunsheng from top to bottom.
"Indeed, he is a handsome young man, Lu Shilang sure knows how to raise a son!"
When Madam Ji said this, others didn’t react much, but Song Da Gongzi and Ji Youzhi frowned tightly.
"..."
