Chapter 138 Why did you come to the Jiang family today?



Chapter 138 Why did you come to the Jiang family today?

This served as a reminder to Jiang Zhitong and Zheng.

"Mr. Shen, if you feel uncomfortable speaking in front of us, just say it directly. Don't be polite." Jiang Zhitong said.

Shen Yanxi looked at Jiang Suining. He knew that Jiang Suining did it on purpose, but he was not angry. He smiled and turned to look at Jiang Zhitong.

"Uncle, you are too serious. It's nothing serious. In fact, it's just the first two times we met, I felt that I got along very well with Brother Chu, and I wanted to make friends. I just learned that Brother Chu came to the Jiang family, and I was careless and came to disturb him. I didn't even bring a gift. I hope Uncle Jiang won't be offended."

"Mr. Shen, what are you talking about? It's really an honor for you to come to our Jiang family. Why do you need any gifts?" Jiang Zhitong said hurriedly.

"Thank you, uncle. I don't mind. But it is indeed impolite to come empty-handed. I will make up for it with a gift next time I come."

"Okay, okay, these are all trivial matters, you really don't need to worry about them." Jiang Zhitong said with a smile, and then he was suddenly stunned for a moment after he finished speaking. There will be a next time?

However, since Shen Yanxi said so, Jiang Zhitong naturally couldn't stop people from coming.

"If you don't mind, Mr. Shen, you can come over anytime in the future. It will also allow my useless son to learn from you. However, this gift is really unnecessary."

Of course, although he said this, Jiang Zhitong didn't actually think in his heart that Shen Yanxi would come to visit often in the future. After all, he was the top scholar and might become an official in the future. The Jiang family was just an imperial merchant, so how could they possibly have much contact with him?

"Uncle Jiang, you're joking. Young Master Jiang looks smart, and with Miss Jiang's guidance, he will definitely have a bright future." Shen Yanxi's tone and smile were impeccable.

Jiang Mushi curled his lips. For the sake of his elder sister, this top scholar could really say anything to please her.

"Shen..."

"Shut up and stop talking nonsense." Zheng interrupted her son directly.

Jiang Mushi was stunned for a moment, and said dissatisfiedly: "Mom, I haven't said anything yet!"

"Looking at your expression, I know you have nothing good to say. Keep it to yourself." Zheng glared at her son.

Jiang Mushi choked, and under the intimidating gaze of his mother, he swallowed the rest of his words.

Next, Shen Yanxi clearly showed Jiang Suining that he could easily win the favor of Zheng and Jiang Zhitong as long as he wanted.

As they talked, Jiang Zhitong had gone from being polite at the beginning to sincerely wanting to keep Shen Yanxi to stay for dinner.

Even on Chu Changhe's side, Shen Yanxi did not ignore him. After a conversation, Chu Changhe really had a lot more admiration for Shen Yanxi's talent and vision.

However, Shen Yanxi declined Jiang Zhitong's kindness. After all, it was his first visit and he didn't bring anything with him. It would be inappropriate if he really stayed for dinner.

"Uncle, you and aunt don't have to see me off. I will visit you again another day. Your politeness makes me afraid to come to you in the future." Shen Yanxi smiled and politely declined Jiang Zhitong's offer to personally see him off to the door.

"That won't do. I have to send you out myself." Jiang Zhitong said hurriedly.

"Uncle, there's really no need. I'm a junior, and it's enough for me to have Young Master Jiang and Miss Jiang to see me off."

"Can……"

"Master, since Master Shen has said so, let's do as he wishes and let Mu Shi and Sui Ning send us off." Zheng secretly tugged at her husband's sleeve.

Jiang Zhitong glanced at his wife, then at Shen Yanxi. Although he felt a little strange, he finally nodded in agreement.

The two watched Shen Yanxi, Chu Changhe and the others walk towards the gate of the mansion. Only when their figures disappeared did Jiang Zhitong look at Zheng in confusion.

"Madam, why didn't you let me see you off? After all, he is the new champion. Although Master Shen said it's not necessary, we can't really lose our manners."

"Master, don't you see it yet?"

"What did you see?" Jiang Zhitong was puzzled.

"Why would a newly crowned top scholar come to our house? He is so humble and polite, and even said he would come to visit us in the future. I think he is here for Sui Ning."

"Madam, you mean..." Jiang Zhitong was stunned for a moment, "Is this possible? Could it be that you made a mistake?"

"He is still a young man after all. When I saw Master Shen looking at Sui Ning just now, he couldn't hide the love in his eyes." Zheng smiled and said, "Besides, our Sui Ning is so good, it is normal for Master Shen to like Sui Ning."

"You are right. Sui Ning is indeed likable, but..." Jiang Zhitong frowned, "Although our Jiang family is a royal merchant, we are only from a merchant family after all. Mr. Shen was born in an official family, and now he has won the first place in the imperial examination. I am afraid they are not a match."

"Don't you think Sui Ning is not worthy of him? Even though she is the top scholar, our Sui Ning is more than qualified to match anyone."

"Of course that's not what I meant. I'm just afraid that the gap in social status is too big. If I really marry him in the future, I'll be wronged."

Jiang Zhitong's words calmed Zheng down a bit. She thought about it and the smile on her face faded. "That's true. If nothing had happened to Suining's father, it would have been fine. He is from an official family, so how could he worry about these things?"

"Yes, it would be great if Brother Gu were still here." Jiang Zhitong sighed.

"Forget it, let's not think too much about it for now. From the way Sui Ning looked just now, it seems that the two of them are not in love. In the end, this matter depends on Sui Ning's opinion."

After all, if Sui Ning doesn't want to, then it would be a waste of time for them to think about it now, and it would be meaningless.

On the other side, at the gate of Jiang Mansion.

Jiang Suining looked at Shen Yanxi, "Mr. Shen, take care."

"Miss Jiang, can we talk alone?"

"No!" Jiang Mushi said immediately.

Jiang Suining glanced at Jiang Mushi, then nodded at Shen Yanxi, "Okay."

The two of them walked to the side. Seeing this, Jiang Mushi pricked up his ears and wanted to move closer, but was stopped by Chu Changhe.

"Since your sister is willing to chat, please don't make trouble."

Jiang Mushi curled his lips in dissatisfaction, but did not move forward.

Jiang Suining looked at Shen Yanxi, "What does Mr. Shen want to say?"

Shen Yanxi said softly: "I didn't intend to disturb your parents at first, but since I saw them just now, I naturally wanted to leave a good impression, so I chatted a little more, don't be angry."

Jiang Suining raised her eyebrows inwardly. She didn't doubt this. After all, when she first met her father and mother, Shen Yanxi's nervousness didn't seem to be fake. As for leaving a good impression, with the title of the top scholar and such a face, even if Shen Yanxi didn't deliberately talk more, the impression would naturally not be bad.

What she was curious about was why Shen Yanxi suddenly appeared at the door of the Jiang family.

"Why did you come to the Jiang family today?"
