The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 772 The best friend of the reborn daughter of the Duke's Mansion (43)

No matter what Duke Xing is like!

Zhou Tianyu now happily followed Minister Su back to the Su Mansion.

As soon as I entered the door, I met Su Ruoxu who had just returned from work, and a young man following him.

When Zhou Tianyu saw this person, he immediately felt a sense of crisis.

"Brother Su, how are you?" Zhou Tianyu took the initiative to greet him. "May I know who this is?"

After some time of contact, Su Ruoxu knew Zhou Tianyu a little bit, and said without beating around the bush: "He is my classmate Lin Yang, and also my fiancée's brother."

This relationship? Isn't it the same as the relationship between him and Su Ruoxu? It's just that the other party has succeeded, while he is still working hard.

"Hello, Brother Lin!" Zhou Tianyu was more friendly this time.

In fact, Lin Yang had heard before: Grand Minister of Agriculture Zhou Tianyu was interested in the daughter of the Su family, but he cared too much about the other party's feelings, so he had never asked the current emperor to issue an order to grant the marriage.

This is indeed what we saw today.

"Dad, where did you meet Lord Zhou?" What Su Ruoxu meant was: Why did you bring him home?

Minister Su glared at his son unhappily and said, "Mr. Zhou has been very diligent in attending court recently. He and I have been getting along very well, so I invited him to come to my house for a visit."

There was still some tacit understanding between father and son, and Su Ruoxu immediately understood the meaning of these words - Zhou Tianyu had been going to court every day recently, and every time he came back from court he would talk endlessly to his father, so he was really annoyed and had to bring him home for a walk.

Su Ruoxu understood what his father meant, but he couldn't be too rude, so he could only smile and say, "I see, then, Daddy, please invite Mr. Zhou into the house!"

Minister Su nodded and took Zhou Tianyu into the house.

There was actually nothing much to talk about when four men were together, and since they were not from the same department, they actually had nothing in common.

Su Shilang - Minister of Rites;

Su Ruoxu - Director of the Ministry of Works;

Zhou Tianyu - Minister of Agriculture of the Ministry of Revenue;

Lin Yang - the director of the Five Observatory of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, was actually the person in charge of keeping time.

So if you let them talk about work, they basically just talk about their own things and no one talks to each other.

Of course, they can also talk about poetry, songs, and philosophy of life, but it always feels like these are not what they should talk about.

Fortunately, Mrs. Su in the backyard knew that there were guests coming today, so she asked them to come over and ask if they wanted to go fishing in the yard.

Minister Su had other hobbies in his early years, but it was not easy to be an official in the capital. There were too many people watching him. If he was caught and framed, it would be a small matter to lose his job, but it was common for his family to be implicated.

Especially for a family like the Su family that has no foundation, if something happens, there will be few people to speak for them.

As time went by, Minister Su gradually lost interest in leaving the house. To relieve his boredom, he dug a pond in the yard. At first, he fished in it with ornamental fish. Later, he saved up money and bought a farm outside the city, and often asked the farm owner to send him some wild fish.

I developed a hobby of fishing.

Some fish happened to be delivered today, so Mrs. Su invited them to go fishing in the yard.

It was not until Zhou Tianyu and Lin Yang took Minister Su's fishing rod in their hands that they truly felt that even though he was a third-rank official in Beijing, Minister Su lived an extremely cautious life and even made his own fishing rod.

Su Ruoxu, who had always loved making fishing rods for his father, said proudly: "How about this fishing rod? I made it myself. I also designed the hook on it. Do you think it is longer than usual?"

The two people who had just sympathized with Minister Su looked at Su Ruoxu with indescribable expressions.

Well, they were wrong.

It was just that they couldn't say anything about this complaint, but Minister Su showed no mercy to his son: "Don't mention it. Apart from the other things, what kind of wood is used for this fishing rod? It's heavy and rough, and there are thorns on it."

Then the father and son started another "heated" discussion about how to make a fishing rod.

This kind of family atmosphere makes people feel inexplicably comfortable.

Zhou Tianyu's parents died early, and he grew up with his grandfather. However, his grandfather was basically either working in the fields alone or taking him to the fields with him, so he rarely had such leisure time.

Lin Yang's situation is actually similar to Zhou Tianyu's, but his parents passed away after he passed the imperial examination, and he also has a younger sister, so his situation is slightly better than Zhou Wenyu's.

As if she had anticipated that something might happen to the father and son, Mrs. Su asked her daughter Su Xiangran to come and check on them.

As soon as Su Xiangran walked into the yard, Zhou Tianyu's "wife-seeking radar" was automatically turned on and he discovered her.

However, since there were other people present at the scene, he did not go up to her, but his eyes were extremely passionate.

Looking up at the person not far away, even though there was some distance between them, Su Xiangran could still feel the other person's slightly "burning" gaze.

"Sister, why are you here?" Su Ruoxu wanted to debate with his father when he saw his sister walking slowly towards him.

He immediately took two steps forward and stood in front of Zhou Tianyu.

Zhou Tianyu narrowed his eyes slightly, took a step to the side, and spoke to Su Xiangran first: "Miss Su, the potted plant I gave you a few days ago seems to have grown a lot taller now."
