If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

Tonight, the first dish served at Beiqi Mansion’s Private Kitchen is the signature appetizer ‘braised foie gras with shallots and ten-year-old Italian vinegar’, which is a representative French delicacy. In order to enjoy the dinner, Boss Chen generously opened a bottle of Gewürztraminer wine from a private collection in the underground wine cellar of the mansion to Su’s father and his family, claiming that it was a gift from the store to celebrate Su’s mother’s birthday.

Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, this gift was indeed put to good use. The vintage sweet wine paired with Italian vinegar perfectly suppressed the light fishy smell of foie gras, and the sweet and sour Gewürztraminer played an appetizing role. , which is a good start to the whole dining experience.

Under the glazed chandelier, the entire main dining hall was illuminated with splendor, and the gold powder-paved lamp wall seemed to imbue the entire room with a graceful and luxurious atmosphere. Directly under the hall lamp, a white tablecloth without any wrinkles or stains was spread on the tabletop of the round table. The "Dunhuang Flying Immortals" was overprinted on the tablecloth. The price of this disposable tablecloth is enough to be sold in large shopping malls outside. A good meal in the restaurant is enough to show that Boss Chen's so-called "highest standard" this time is not a gimmick.

Even Miss Chen was standing by the dining table holding a bottle of wine. Boss Chen was the manager of the private kitchen, so the daughter of the boss could naturally stay in the name of serving the guests with wine.

Normally, Ms. Chen would be irritated by this kind of work, but it was different today. Even if Boss Chen didn't take the initiative to suggest this, she would take the initiative to invite Ying to the main hall to find an excuse to stay - after all, tonight's dinner is really interesting.

"The first dish after the appetizers, the Feixian is cooked and intoxicated by the view of Yangcheng Lake." The chef brought the dishes to the table. Dry ice and white mist continued to overflow from the jade porcelain flower plate, which dimly illuminated the Dunhuang on the tablecloth under the hall lamp. The refraction of light and shadow on the flying fairy picture combined with the rotating table really gives a feeling that the flying fairy has come to life, and it just so happens that the name of the dish has the word flying fairy, which is not out of place.

"Hairy crabs?" Su's father's eyes lit up. Whether it was before or after he became rich, crabs have always been his favorite. Private dishes such as private dishes are all customized by the mansion, so every time they are served. Surprised, he looked at the chef and asked, "I probably understand the meaning of Yangcheng Lake View, but what does Feixian mean?"

"This is cooked drunken crab cooked with Guizhou 1499 Feitian Moutai wine, Zhejiang Shaoxing Huadiao and secret spices. For the hairy crabs, we use the crab source provided by the most famous Dade Crab House in Yangcheng Lake, Kunshan. We pay attention to nine things when eating crabs. There are ten males and females, but in August the hairy crabs are already plump and sticky, so only special channels can get the first batch of fat crabs,” the chef explained,

"Our Beiqi Mansion has always cooperated with the Jiang family, the most famous aquatic industry in Kunshan, so we can provide the highest standards of food and drink at banquets. We can tell you what kind of crabs are eaten at the Huafang on Yangcheng Lake in September and October. We can get some crabs right here.”

"Kunshan is really good, but I haven't heard much about the Jiangjia aquatic products you mentioned. When I traveled there before, I always ate at Jinjia's Dade Crab Restaurant. The painted boat in the middle of the lake is so old-fashioned! Everyone has to You have to make a motorboat to get up! In autumn, sitting on the bow of the boat in the evening, eating crabs and admiring the scenery is called Muhe. Muyun, what are you talking about?" Father Su suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his casual bragging.

While Lin Nian was cutting foie gras, he subconsciously answered the question for him, "Muyun Sihe, sunset melting gold?"

"Oh, yes, yes, this sentence was written in ink on the boat. I forgot about it after being away for so long." Father Su's eyes lit up and he gave Lin Nian a thumbs up, "Young people are more educated. You have a good memory.”

"Poetry by Li Qingzhao?" Su Xiaoqiang said, sitting on the right side of Lin Nian.

"'Yong Yu Le', I saw it before when I was memorizing two thousand ancient poems in high school." Lin Nian explained as he picked up the eight pieces of crab that came with the first hot dish.

"Why are you memorizing that stuff? Aren't the classical Chinese essays and formulas you learned in high school enough to memorize?"

"I wasn't sensible in high school. I just played behind my back." Lin Nian said casually. He didn't want to explain that it was a by-product of what he had casually jotted down when he was doing his 'daily' before he came into contact with Kassel Academy. Let alone two thousand ancient poems. First of all, he just memorized pi when he had nothing to do. Now he can still remember more than 80,000 digits, which is more than the 20,000 digits of the Guinness World Record in 2006. It is a pity that the Guinness World Record does not have any prizes, otherwise He already has a pile of trophies at home.

"Have you always loved studying so much in Xiaonian? I heard from Xiaoqiang before that you were among the best in high school. You were also the top pick in the high school entrance examination and were specially recruited to Shilan to get a scholarship. Now you can adapt to that kind of happy education in an American university. Is it a good atmosphere?" Mother Su held the eight crab pieces in her right hand and dexterously disassembled the hairy crabs.

here we go again. The expressions of the people at the table were still there, but the eyes of Miss Chen standing in the corner of the room suddenly became sharp.

Only a woman can understand a woman. Her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law told her that Father Su has been eliminated from the list of the biggest threats on the table. Although Father Su is the core of the Su family, the real blade is actually controlled by Mother Su. of. Now this question seems to be just a casual greeting about the study situation and living environment, but in fact it hides a huge conspiracy.

The average son-in-law would probably interpret "Can you adapt to the atmosphere of happy education?" as the mother-in-law is just testing his adaptability, and derive the answer that he is adaptable and can live freely in the Su family in the future - but This is actually extremely wrong!

This question is not asking about "adaptability" at all. It is a trap question. The real scoring point is the "motivation" hidden behind the surface!

What is the most important thing about a son-in-law to a mother-in-law and her family? Of course, he must be able to take good care of his daughters and be responsible for supporting them. Even if they live separately in the future, a qualified son-in-law must have the strong capital to send money back to the woman's natal family from time to time.

To say the least, even if the Su family has a great business and does not need alimony, and the daughter of the Su family does not need support, then when President Su abdicates, he will definitely need close relatives to take over the huge mining empire! At that time, the number one person will definitely be this "little nian". If this "little nian" is not motivated, the result will be disastrous!

The first question entered the assessment of the prospective son-in-law, and the question was so cunning and hidden, should he be said to be Mr. Su's beloved wife? She is indeed a good woman who can accompany her man to work hard outside!

"." Faced with this problem, Lin Nian suddenly had a headache.

Can he adapt to the happy education of American universities?

It is said that the learning atmosphere at Kassel College is indeed quite happy. After all, under the reforms promoted by Angers and a certain school director, Kassel Manor has been transformed from a former military fortress into the current college, which pursues a meritocratic system. The college pays attention to a system of free-range breeding of Gu!

Regarding: "Elites will always shine and attract people around them to become natural leaders!" The principal firmly believes in this argument, and his laissez-faire attitude towards the academic style is not ordinary, so much so that there was even a free-day shootout. Normally In school, as long as you can complete your credits and prepare your thesis before the end of the term, no one will bother you no matter how much you play or skip classes.

Speaking of happy education, it is indeed quite happy - but only for ordinary students.

For students like Lin Nian and Chu Zihang, happy education has basically nothing to do with them, because while other senior students are busy studying for credits and falling in love, they are all busy with the tasks of the execution department. The ruthless work of cutting people's heads with blood on the ground, this kind of thing has nothing to do with "happiness". (In other words, when he received the subsidy from the execution department, he was very happy for a short while)

Finding that Lin Nian's expression was a little different, Su Xiaoqiang subconsciously wanted to cough to help him out, but her wise daughter Mo Ruomu had just raised her swan-white neck to say something, and Su's mother had already smiled and put the new crispy A piece of fried eel with white sturgeon caviar was stuffed into Su Xiaoqiang's mouth.

"Does Auntie know the situation of our 'foreign school' very well?" Lin Nian tactfully tested it. He didn't know how much contact Su Xiaoqiang had with her family. In his case, he even packed up his sister. Of school.

There is a confidentiality agreement for parents of students at Kassel Academy. If the agreement is signed in accordance with the rules and regulations and approved by the executive department, parents of students are allowed to know some inside information to a certain extent.

"I remember your school is Kassel College? It's a member of the Ivy League. Your aunt and I also studied in a foreign university. Or maybe my aunt is even a foreigner!" Mother Su said.

"?" Lin Nian subconsciously looked up at Su's mother's beautiful, young face.

"Didn't you see? I am of mixed Portuguese and Chinese descent. Although I spent a lot of effort to become a Chinese national in the early years, I also graduated from Dartmouth College. How could I not understand the education of foreign schools? Situation." Su's mother said with a smile.

"Auntie is Portuguese?" Lin Nian was stunned for a moment.

"O vinho é. Infelizmente, no é port." Mother Su suddenly said as she put down the eight pieces of crab in her hand, folded her hands and looked at Lin Nian with an elegant smile.

"tudo a mesma coisa para mim." Lin Nian paused, and then replied with a syllable that was also convoluted for Chinese people. This made everyone at the table startled, and Ms. Chen standing in the corner was also a little confused. .

"Do you know Portugal?" Su Xiaoqiang said unexpectedly after swallowing the caviar and fried eel. After that, he stared at Lin Nian and licked his pink lips, not knowing what he was craving for.

"Learned a little bit." Lin Nian nodded slightly. In order to cope with the business trip of the Executive Department all over the world, he had basically learned most of the mainstream languages. He was not very professional, but at least he had no problem in normal conversation.

"I haven't heard you speak Portuguese for a long time, my wife. What did you just say?" Su's father asked curiously.

"We were just chatting about the food and wine." Su's mother smiled, "It seems that I have a lot of knowledge in the language! Did you learn it in college?"

"Yes. But Auntie's Chinese is also very fluent. At least much more fluent than most people in our school." Lin Nian sincerely praised that at least the student union president's Chinese still has a strong dialect flavor. Although Chinese is popular in the academy, as one of the most difficult languages, speaking Chinese without an accent is as difficult as killing a third-generation breeder (Lin Nian-style metaphor).

"It doesn't matter who taught your Aunt Su Chinese." Su's father said proudly, "Did you really not see that your Aunt Su is Portuguese before?"

"No." Lin Nian said honestly.

"It's just good makeup. When you come to China, you can only exchange fashion ideas with a group of Chinese best friends and old aunts. Over time, your outfits and aesthetics have become Chinese-style." Mother Su waved her hand.

"Have you never thought about why my Xiaoqiang is so beautiful? It's all because of her mother! As a father, I am the one holding back!" Su's father burst out laughing.

Lin Nian turned to look at Su Xiaoqiang, only to find that Su Xiaoqiang was also looking sideways at him. The light and shadow under the golden hall lamp were like the carving knife in the hand of a carver, which outlined the delicate facial features bit by bit. The thin golden light and powder-rubbed The ruddy color is combined with the warmth of an oriental beauty. It’s no wonder that Su Xiaoqiang has been ranked first on the dream lover list of Shilan Middle School boys for a long time. Stable Chen Wenwen and Liu Miaomiao are on the same side, and you are also a "mixed race"!

"Most Portuguese-Chinese people have genetic advantages from Asians. Just like Michelle Reis, our old Su family has very strong genes." Su's father immediately brightened up when he talked about this, "I was in college back then. When I chased Xiaoqiang's mother, I almost didn't recognize that she was a foreigner. When I started chatting with her, she spoke Portuguese, which confused me. Later I found out that she was an exchange student from Dartmouth. Then I My interest has become even stronger, and I will do whatever it takes to pick off the brightest star in the school!"

The more he talked, the more enthusiastic he became. Su's father almost started to slap his thigh, but his thigh was pinched by Su's mother in advance. He gasped in pain and immediately calmed down.

"I heard that your relationship with Xiaoqiang gradually got better in college. Are you chasing Xiaoqiang or Xiaoqiang chasing you?" Su's mother skipped the previous topic and continued to raise new topics while tearing apart the crab.

Ms. Chen in the corner nodded very dedicatedly and approved of Su's mother's continued offensive.

The previous problem of self-motivation has been quietly resolved by this kid. Being able to be proficient in Portuguese at this age is either an accident or a real language genius with a particularly strong learning ability. Generally speaking, this kind of strong learner can use it flexibly. You can’t be too ambitious!

There is also a possibility.

Miss Chen looked at Lin Nian's back with sharp eyes. Could it be that this son-in-law who came to visit had investigated Su's mother's situation, and then pretended not to know about it to make a big splash? Whether she is a stupid person or a scheming bitch, she is confident that she will be able to smell it out in the next three or four conversations.

"There will always be sacrifices and contributions in the process of the formation of something like emotion, just like people on both sides place emotional weights. When the two are balanced countless times, the scale overflows and the tray knocks over the table. People on both sides can Take your eyes away from the scales and see each other, and then everything becomes a matter of course." Lin Nian said, "There is no question of who is chasing whom, there are only two people who noticed each other coming together at the same time."

"Not bad, not bad." Su's mother said with praise, her eyes lit up.

"As expected of Kassel, he is so talented!" Su's father showed off the temperament of an old mine owner, a pure rough man, the purest comment and the most extreme affirmation.

"Who taught you to say that?" Even Su Xiaoqiang blushed and leaned towards Lin Nian and asked softly.

Lin Nian didn't answer, just looked at her and smiled softly. The latter paused and immediately looked away. The two thighs and knees in the skirt covered by the tablecloth rubbed lightly, her cheeks were blushing, and her neck was pink.

I can't say it.

Smiling Lin Nian saw that Su Xiaoqiang had been successfully dealt with, and silently turned his head to look at the dish table, with a trace of unexplainable emotion in his eyes.

I can’t say it, I can’t say it no matter what!

One day, he actually stole a fragment of Lu Mingfei's love letter to Chen Wenwen.

The humiliation of the Literature Department that he once laughed at actually saved him from disaster. Is this the value of Lu Mingfei's three-year career in the Literature Department? I really don’t know how Lu Mingfei, who is so full of sourness that he can write a youth love fantasy novel, can’t even pick up Chen Wenwen. It’s really puzzling.

—

"Sneeze!" Lu Mingfei suddenly raised his head and put down his hand from the keyboard. He looked around with vigilance. It was still a familiar room, with the familiar snores of the fat little cousin floating around, and the familiar sound of "StarCraft" in the headphones. The villain responded.

But why did he suddenly feel a chill? This feeling was as chilling as the time when I bumped into the Dragon King in the mud when I went down to Kuimen.

...It couldn't be that someone was scolding him secretly, right? And he was scolded every word! he thinks.
