Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
This wasn’t just a change. It could be said that he had been reborn.
Heng Yi brought Han Chi over to propose a toast.
“G-Grandma.” Han Chi called out softly.
Heng Yi didn’t have much emotion.
He stared at the Heng family members coldly.
After the toast, they went to the Han family.
The coldness on Heng Yi’s face faded a little. At least, when he faced his uncles, he smiled.
He even asked Han Chi to refill the wine for his uncles.
There were many guests today, so Heng Yi couldn’t stay there for long, so he took Han Chi somewhere else.
The Heng and Han families realized that these people had all given Han Chi a greeting gift.
Each of them handed over a brocade box.
They were all different in size.
Master Feng introduced them to Heng Yi and Han Chi.
This was a food seller.
This was a salt seller.
This person had a horse farm.
The seats that these people were sitting in were especially particular.
Heng Yi and Han Chi carefully remembered their names and where they lived.
After all, Heng Yi would need these things in the future.
Therefore, Han Chi had to accept the gifts.
In a few days, he would go to the shops and give them generous gifts. As long as the price was right, he would have at least received a 60% off deal.
“Congratulations Marquis, congratulations Eldest Young Master.”
“Thank you.”
By the time they finished their rounds, Han Chi had already received hundreds of gifts.
Han Qiao’s side was the same. Most of them were for the bride, Li Mi.
Han Chi was not her biological child, but his name was recorded in their family tree.
And this genealogy started from Heng Yi.
According to Heng Yi’s request, Sun Xiu and her two sisters were also included.
Even He Cheng was also included.
Heng Yi had written the words himself, stroke by stroke, neatly written.
In order to write these names well, he secretly practiced for a long time.
Halfway through the toast, an old man came in with his hands behind his back. The visitor was a guest, so Bai Cha immediately went forward to greet him.
“…” The old man raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Cha, “Marquis of
Wanning, Hengyi?”
Bai Cha shook his head, “That’s my brother. The one over there is the Marquis
Wanning.”
The old man gave a faint ‘oh’.
Bai Cha was about to reach out and invited the old man to an empty table to eat.
But the old man had already walked past him toward Heng Yi.
“Marquis of Wanning, Heng Yi?”
Heng Yi nodded.
“I want to sit at the main table, at the main seat.”
The old man casually pointed.
There were still a few empty seats at the main table.
That was where Heng Yi, Heng Congshan, Bai Cha, and Han Chi were sitting.
The people sitting next to him were all top officials in Chenzhou City.
The old man glanced around.
He pointed, “I want to sit there.”
Heng Yi looked at the old man in front of him. His beard and hair were all white, but his face was ruddy.
Although the clothes weren’t of much quality, they were clean and tidy.
Heng Yi didn’t want to cause any more trouble at this time.
“Elder, please.”
Heng Yi invited the old man to sit down.
The old man asked Heng Yi to pour him more wine.
Heng Yi filled his cup with wine in a good mood. He drank a few cups in a row before he started eating.
Although he was rough, he was not vulgar.
He didn’t rummage through the dishes and praised them as he ate.
Heng Yi poured him more wine and found that he had six fingers on his left hand.
Heng Yi didn’t know anything about Jianghu, so he didn’t know who he was.
Zhang Huiguang thought of this person.
He smiled and said, “Old man, come, let me toast you.”
“Who are you?” The old man raised his eyebrows slightly.
Zhang Huiguang was about to speak.
But the old man raised his eyebrows.
“I’m here to eat, not to make friends.”
Zhang Huiguang instantly stopped talking.
This old man was very annoying.
Heng Yi wanted to leave, but the old man asked him to stay and pour wine.
“Old man, I’ll go and toast first. I’ll come back later and pour more for you.
What do you think?” Heng Yi asked.
“Alright, go.”
Heng Yi went to pour wine for the others and then came back.
The old man didn’t let Heng Yi sit down, and he asked Heng Yi to pour him some wine.
His alcohol tolerance was very high. He drank gla.s.s after gla.s.s. After drinking many gla.s.ses, his face did not turn red and he did not pant.
Many people were discussing this stranger.
“Who is that? He asked the Marquis of Wanning to pour wine for him?”
“I don’t know him.”
“I have never seen him before.”
No one recognized this old man.
The Heng family muttered, “Who is that?”
“He asked Old Fifth to pour wine for him?”
The Heng family didn’t understand.
The Han family members did not understand either.
Why would Heng Yi pour wine for someone?
Moreover, he was not impatient. He even filled the old man’s gla.s.s after he finished it.
After drinking it all, he filled the cup once more.
When the old man was full, he sighed in satisfaction.
“It would be great if 1 could eat like this every day,” The old man sighed.
He looked up at Heng Yi.
“Child,”
“Elder, please instruct me.”
“Clean up a courtyard for me to live in. There’s no need to serve these exquisite dishes for me for every meal. As long as there’s fish, meat, and wine every day, it’s fine.”
Heng Yi was silent for a moment before saying, “Excuse me, where is your family?”
