Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

The content in this book on the art of war was something he had never seen before. Not only did it contain amazing plans, but also unexpected strokes of genius, as well as stunning troop formations. He only casually browsed through two pages. He couldn't put it down, his eyes couldn't wait to stick to it. If the apprenticeship process hadn't been completed yet, he would have wanted to drop everything and go back to the study to study.

Others cannot see the content, but they can feel Sun Yu's excitement and joy. What kind of precious book can make him so excited?

Not only were the onlookers scratching their heads, but even the Sun family would have wanted to get up and take a look if they weren't concerned about the image.

Sun Shangshu was mature and prudent, and he was originally very stable, but when he saw his son acting so rude, his curiosity was piqued. As a parent, he didn't need to worry about anything. He coughed and gave his son a look of understanding. Sun Yu Immediately and obediently handed over the book that had not yet been warmed.

He did not forget to remind him with a bitter tone, "Father, my son just started watching..."

If you don't let him read it, he will be so hooked that he won't be able to sleep tonight.

Sun Shangshu understood his hint, but unfortunately because of his identity, he was completely indifferent. He opened it curiously and took a few glances, and then his expression became solemn.

He looked at Xu Huaiyi and had many things he wanted to ask, but in front of everyone, it was not convenient to say some things directly, so he had to hold back for the time being.

When everyone saw this, they felt even more itchy. What kind of book was it? Even Sun Shangshu treated it so seriously?

Xu Huaiyi was the only one who remained calm. After delivering the gift to Sun Yu, he respectfully handed over the gift to Sun Shangshu and his wife. What was given to Sun Shangshu was a thin booklet. No one knew what the content was. It was inferred whether it had any value, but the gift for the old lady of the Sun family was clearly displayed for everyone to see.

They were two persimmon trees, about one meter high, with graceful branches. There were red persimmons hanging on them, like lanterns during the New Year, exuding a lively and festive atmosphere.

At first glance, everyone thought it was real, but upon closer inspection, they discovered that it was actually made by man. It was so lifelike that it seemed to be an extraordinary craftsmanship that was amazing.

The hall looked a lot brighter because of the appearance of these two persimmon trees.

Everyone praised him.

After Mrs. Sun heard that it was made by Xu Huaiyi's daughter-in-law, she even smiled and praised her ingenuity. She also asked the nanny who was waiting beside her to get a box of jewelry. She lovingly said that it would be given to Gu Huanxi, and then , so people directly placed the two pots of persimmon trees, which represented everything went well, in a conspicuous position in the hall for all guests to appreciate.

Next, the gifts for other people in the Sun family were also brought up one by one. The uncle of the Sun family is now serving in Fucheng in the south. Even if he is not present, the gifts are not left behind. They are also books, and Sun Shangshu is very happy to see them. It was temporarily taken away for safekeeping. There were still several masters in the Sun family, but they were just concubines. Xu Huaiyi couldn't be too kind to one, but he couldn't be the same as those who were direct descendants. So although the gifts he gave were also books, they were not as valuable as those given to Sun Yu and others. .

Even so, Sun Shangshu still collected them one by one using his father's reputation.

He had to see it first, completely ignoring his sons' complaints.

What the ladies of the Sun family received were all fake flower ornaments, which were not as spectacular as the two persimmon trees. However, because they were not available on the market, they were quite rare. In particular, Xu Huaiyi and his wife inquired about the preferences of the ladies in advance and gave them as gifts. The gifts are exactly what they like, so this gift becomes more sincere.

As for the next generation of Sun family young men, they were given those wooden educational toys, which had never appeared on the market. After Xu Huaiyi moved out, he briefly explained and let them choose by themselves. Everyone could at least choose. The two pieces were so confusing that both of them were spoiled for choice. One liked them and the other couldn't bear to put them down. In the end, it was decided that everyone would play with the ones they selected first and then exchange them with each other later, so that no one would be greedy for others.

Unexpectedly, Sun Shangshu had a hand in even the toys. He ignored the tearful accusations from his grandchildren, picked two from the big box, and handed them to his attendant.

The only one who 'escaped a bullet' was Rong Hua, who really had no use for him.

The little sisters of the Sun family gathered around a big box, smiling and choosing their favorite velvet flowers. Everyone could choose two or three. The most rare thing is that these velvet flowers are not only exquisite, but also different from each other. When worn, She definitely attracts attention. What's not to like about a girl's family?

It can be said that even if Xu Huaiyi's previous performances are ignored, this person's mind and methods can be seen just from the gift-giving aspect.

These gifts are not expensive at all. They avoid the shortcomings of the Xu family's limited background, but each one is a reflection of sincerity. They are simply sent to the hearts of the Sun family. They are pleasing to the eye, but do not make people think that he is a philistine. , I just lamented that he was thoughtful and smooth.

The ceremony of apprenticeship and gift-giving is the highlight. After this round, the banquet begins. The Sun family has always kept a low profile in the capital, and they don’t make any big fuss. They only invite various in-laws and old friends, as well as colleagues and friends who are good friends with Sun Yu. It is the personal connections that have communication value.

It can be seen that the Sun family is also sincere and sincerely wants to introduce these resources to Xu Huaiyi and bring him into the upper circles.

This step is crucial. Even if many people rank among the top three in the imperial examination, they may not be able to step into this high-end bureau. The gap in status is like a chasm that will be difficult to cross in a lifetime. But now, he quietly stepped forward. .

The Sun family gave him an opportunity, and he seized it perfectly. If he himself was not good enough, and his performance just now was not good enough, even with Sun Yu leading him, others might not recognize it, and it would be more of a matter of face. , but now, he is holding a wine glass among the people. Wherever he goes, everyone smiles very really, showing that he often comes and knows each other deeply.

Xu Huaiyi was neither humble nor arrogant in this kind of social situation, and he handled it with ease. He didn't need Sun Yu to remind him what to say when he saw someone, he could answer it calmly, without any stage fright, or fall behind, and even A few words of insight came out inadvertently, which made people astonished by his insight and understanding.

Sun Yu and Yourong Yan even felt that today was the highlight of his life, which would be difficult to replicate.

His colleagues and friends were all jealous with envy, like Ma Zicheng. Although he had long known that there was something extraordinary about Xu Huaiyi, he was still surprised by his extraordinary performance today. He also deeply envied Sun Yu for being able to pick up such an extraordinary person. He is a precious apprentice, and there may be many surprises in the future.

He poured Sun Yu three glasses of wine in a row before he felt more mentally balanced.

As for the in-laws of the Sun family, they were purely happy. Xu Huaiyi was one of their own. The more promising he was, the more beneficial it would be to the Sun family. They could only be satisfied.

When Xu Huaiyi went to propose a toast, the elder's attitude was friendly, and his peers also showed a sign of friendship, and they were all enjoying themselves.

Sun Yu mainly introduced several of his senior brothers to him. Except for the second senior brother who fought against the Tatars in the northwest, senior senior brother Shi Peck and fourth junior brother Liu Haoran were all present. A commander of the Jinyi Guards, Jian Shi , a person in Xishan Camp, with a high status and real power. Behind Liu Haoran is the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion. Who wouldn’t want to be friends with such a powerful figure?
