421 After the Exam 2

“Are you guys hungry? Mother brought some steamed buns. They’re still warm.”

Madam Zhao asked with concern.

“If there’s food, that’s good. I only ate a bowl of porridge in the morning. I’m already starving.”

Su Chong said with a smile. He had already taken Madam Zhao’s lunchbox and opened it to eat a big bun.

“You guys should eat too.”

Madam Zhao said gently to Liu Zijin and Zhou Heng.

Liu Zijin smiled and nodded. She took a steamed bun and a bun and ate them.

She had brought a lot, and this amount included his portion.

Qi Xingfeng said weakly, “I want to eat.”

He couldn’t say much, but his animated expression said it all.

Qi Xingzhi rolled his eyes. “Brother, we ate before we left the residence. It’s not just a bowl of porridge.”

Qi Xingfeng blushed. He knew that he had eaten three bowls of lean meat porridge, two taels of steamed buns, four eggs, and some cold beef.

However, when he saw the white and fragrant steamed buns, he still wanted to eat them. There were only one or two of them, and he could completely eat them.

However, his face was a little red because he was embarrassed.

Madam Zhao had already smiled and handed two buns to Qi Xingfeng. “Xingfeng, eat. You can eat as much as you want. If it’s not enough, I’ll make it again for you another day.”

Madam Zhao looked at Qi Xingzhi. “Alright, have some too.”

Qi Xingzhi coughed lightly and took it in embarrassment.

He also felt his face heat up. When he came, he was also full, but he couldn’t help but want to eat when he saw it.

Madam Zhao smiled gently.

Madam Zhao said to Su Chong, Su Hua, and Zhou Heng, “You were not around these few days. There are some things you don’t know. In the past few days, Father and Mother have already visited your great-grandfather. He’s old and misses you. Let’s go over together.”

Qi Xingfeng and Qi Xingzhi nodded at the same time. Qi Xingfeng couldn’t say too much. He suddenly stopped and turned to Qi Xingzhi. “Go ahead.”

Qi Xingzhi smiled and said to Su Chong, Su Hua, and Zhou Heng, “Eldest Cousin, Second Cousin, and Zhou Heng, we specially came to pick you up together. Great-grandfather misses you very much. The banquet is ready and is just waiting for me to bring you all over. Moreover, I have something important to tell you.”

That matter was considered a big deal. This was the Qi family’s attitude.

Qi Xingzhi looked at Liu Zijin and cupped his hands. He smiled and said, “Young Master Liu, it’s fate that we met. Let’s go together. I also want to be friends with you.”

Qi Xingzhi knew that Liu Zijin and Su Chong had a good relationship. Liu Zijin also knew about the relationship between the Qi and Su families. Liu Zijin was also a knowledgeable person. It was true that he wanted to befriend him.

Liu Zijin’s expression was gentle and refined. He smiled and cupped his hands at Qi Xingzhi. “How can I not accept Young Master Qi’s invitation? If that’s the case, I’ll have to disturb you. Zijin is shameless enough to go to the residence to ask for a cup of wine.”

Su Chong and Su Hua nodded.

Zhou Heng smiled and nodded. “Thank you.”

Qi Xingzhi revealed his white teeth and smiled. Zhou Heng was a good talent. He would be Su Xiaoling’s husband. It was a good opportunity for him to get to know them and let him know that he had to treat Su Xiaoling well in the future.

Qi Xingzhi lifted the curtain and said with a smile, “Please.”

After they got into the carriage, Qi Xingfeng rode a horse while Qi Xingzhi and Su Xiaolu sat on the edge.

After arriving at the Grand General’s residence.

The manservant quickly went in to report. Not long after, General Qi, Father Qi, and Mother Qi personally came out to welcome them.

Looking at Su Chong, Su Hua, Zhou Heng, and Liu Zijin, General Qi smiled and said, “Speaking of which, this is the second time we’ve met.”

Su Hua nodded gently. “Yes, sorry for offending you last time.”

General Qi waved his hand and said, “You didn’t offend me, you saved me. You’re all good children. When you return to your great-grandfather’s house, treat it like your own home. There’s no need to be reserved.”

“Let’s go inside first.”

General Qi looked at Su Chong and Su Hua, his heart filled with relief. This was his daughter’s biological grandson.

If the spirits in heaven saw this, they would be gratified.

General Qi was easygoing and kind. He treated Su Chong and Su Hua as his family with all his heart. He treated them sincerely, so how could Su Chong and Su Hua not know?

The little worry he had when he came was put down at this moment.

Their hearts were warmed by his thoughtful care.

General Qi was easygoing, Qi Xingzhi was humorous, Father Qi was gentle and magnanimous, Qi Xingfeng had his difficulties and couldn’t speak much, and Mother Qi was gentle.

They did not feel uncomfortable at all when interacting with each other.

By the time they finished eating, it was already dark.

Liu Zijin bade farewell and Qi Xingfeng sent him back personally.

Su Chong, Su Hua, and the others also washed up and rested. The clean and comfortable environment made them completely relaxed.

When they woke up the next day, they were full of energy and did not look tired at all.

When they were eating together in the morning, General Qi asked with a smile, “Did you sleep well last night? You have to come back often to visit me in the future. Although I’m old, I’m someone who has seen storms. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask me. As a family, we can go further if we help each other.”

“Yes, yes, we know.”

Su Hua smiled and nodded.

General Qi’s gaze landed on Zhou Heng. He smiled and said, “The exam is about to end. Your marriage with Xiaoling has to be put on the agenda, right?”

Su Xiaoling was 18 years old this year. Her marriage was already late, so she should get married as soon as possible to avoid any delays.

The capital was bustling, and Zhou Heng had seen very little. He had to get married as soon as possible to avoid any accidents.

Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao were too kind. They definitely trusted Zhou Heng. They would only wait for Zhou Heng to take the initiative to mention it and not take the initiative to make arrangements.

But for some things, the longer it dragged on, the more unforeseen things would happen.

When General Qi asked, Zhou Heng was stunned for a moment and did not know how to answer.

Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao were also stunned. They had not told General Qi about this. Thinking of Zhou Heng’s identity, they felt that it was too complicated for a moment. They were about to explain it to him.

When General Qi saw that Zhou Heng was stunned, his face turned cold and he asked directly, “Why are you hesitating? If you have any crooked ideas, you’ll suffer. My Qi family is not to be trifled with. Moreover, we all like brute force. If we’re angry, you can only bear with it!”

Zhou Heng knew that General Qi had misunderstood. He did not hesitate and immediately stood up. He bowed to General Qi and said, “General Qi, the sun and moon can bear witness to my love for Su Xiaoling. I’m willing to marry her. This is my dream. If I can marry her as soon as possible, I’ll wake up laughing in my dreams.”

After Zhou Heng finished speaking solemnly and sincerely, General Qi’s expression improved a little. However, he still asked directly, “Since you’re willing, why are you hesitating?”

Su Xiaoling blushed.

Zhou Heng looked at General Qi and said, “General Qi, I’m hesitating because I can’t marry Xiaoling yet. This is a long story. Please listen to me slowly.”

Zhou Heng immediately told the Qi family his identity. When they heard it, they understood.
