On the last day of the Lantern Festival, there are no less people in the market than at the beginning of the Lantern Festival. Whether they are ordinary people or literati, they will come out to enjoy the last bustle of this annual Lantern Festival if they have time.
Chen Yue took Luo Liang and Gong Fu for a leisurely stroll in the market. From time to time, he turned around and smiled and said a few words to the two people behind him. This way of bringing the two parties closer is a required course for every qualified boss. It's easy to use and doesn't feel like any effort at all.
Regarding tonight's banquet, Chen Yue didn't feel too much pressure. Although the guests that his grandfather valued so much always had some background, he had seen many worlds far bigger than this in his previous life. Besides, he was doing it tonight. It's stir-fry again. As the "grandmaster" of stir-fry in Hangzhou, he sets the standard for whether the stir-fry is good or not. As long as his hands don't shake and knock over the salt shaker, there won't be any problems.
When he saw some good-looking dishes along the way, he bought them. The two people behind him would naturally come forward to carry them for him, and he was happy and relaxed. There was no need to do this kind of thing by himself. While getting closer, he couldn't do it. The master-servant relationship is not.
When it was close to noon, Chen Yue took the two of them to a restaurant with a good reputation for lunch. It was the first benefit for the two of them to be under his control.
After entering the door, I saw that the lobby was quite spacious, but most of the good places were picked out by others, so I asked the waiter to find a seat and sit down at random, and then let the two of them order their own dishes. I always wanted them to enjoy their meal today. .
Luo Liang and Gong Fu rarely have the opportunity to eat in restaurants like this on weekdays. They couldn't help but feel a little excited. They looked around and ran to see if there were any fresh dishes.
"Second brother Luo! Third brother Gong! It's a coincidence that you two are here to eat?"
The two turned around and saw five or six people sitting at a table near the window. One of them, a tall man, was waving his hand and calling them. It turned out to be Hao Li, who lived next to Luo Liang's house and was familiar with both of them. .
Seeing that he was an acquaintance, Luo Liang greeted him with a smile: "How come you, a farmer, have the money to drink in a restaurant like this today?"
Tianshelang means "farmer" in ancient times, and the name "country bumpkin" in later generations has the same meaning. However, the two of them usually have a good relationship, so it was considered a joke at this time. Hao Li didn't worry and walked to the two of them. He turned around and introduced to the people at his table: "They all work at Chen's house in Nanfeng Lane."
Then he pointed to the person next to him and said: "This is my steward Ding, and he is the host today." After hearing this, the two people saluted him quickly, and steward Ding also smiled and nodded in greeting: "Since we are all familiar with each other, why not Come sit down and eat together."
Gong Fu said: "Thank you very much, Manager Ding, for your kindness. It's just that my young master invited us to have a drink today, and he is still waiting over there."
Hao Li asked before Ding Ye could speak: "Which young master is it from your family?"
"That's Brother Five. Here, sit over there." Gong Fu pointed in the direction of Chen Yue.
Hao Li glanced in the direction he pointed and said with a smile: "It's the fifth brother of the Chen family who told you about General Yue's military the day before yesterday. Will he continue to talk about it in the past two days? Qin Hui's murderer is really abominable."
After Luo Liang and Gong Fu listened to the story told by Chen Yue that day, they naturally couldn't help but go out to show off. At this time, entertainment activities were scarce. It was a common pastime for a group of acquaintances to sit down and create a dragon gate array. Hao Li had heard them say before Once.
Gong Fu rolled his eyes when he heard what he said: "General Yue was killed by Qin Hui, so there is no follow-up. Yesterday I told the story of the Three Kingdoms." It was as if he had completely forgotten that he was also begging to continue listening to the following.
Hao Li was slightly disappointed, and just as he was about to speak, a lukewarm voice from the next table came over: "Then Chen Shangwen hasn't been able to copy any other poems these days? He didn't dare to come out after being invited to several literary conferences. , turned out to be a storyteller at home."
Someone at the next table said: "I'm afraid the storyteller has finished copying his jokes. He came up with a story about a general to fool the servants. Now he can't tell any more, so he used a story from the Three Kingdoms to make a fool of himself."
Several people followed the sound and looked over. There were seven or eight people sitting at each of the tables over there, all dressed as students.
Manager Ding was Ding Ye, the front yard manager of Linhu Garden that day. He could recognize half of them. Cheng Bolun, who came to the West Lake Literary Society to cause trouble that day, was among them. He didn't have any trouble with his family and there. When necessary, get up and salute, frown and drink with your head down.
Luo Liang and Gong Fu didn¡¯t recognize each other and glared at each other angrily. Gong Fu pointed at them and said, ¡°Who are you? How dare you slander my young master like this!¡±
The student who was the first to speak out didn¡¯t even look at him, and said coldly: ¡°Hmph, when the Wushan students gather here, we can discuss everything in the world. Why can¡¯t we talk about your family?¡±
"That's it""If you don't accept it, ask Chen Shangwen to come over and talk to us. Just say that Wushan Tangyu Lake is here waiting for his guidance." "
????????????? Several people nearby immediately started shouting, each announcing their names, threatening to ask Chen Yue to come over and have a test.
On the evening of the 15th day of the first lunar month, Cheng Bolun of the Wushan Literary Society went to the West Lake Literary Society with a few poems from his fellow students to "kick the hall" and was swept away by Chen Yue's poems. The news has been making a lot of noise these days. It can be said that these people were disgraced. Naturally, they would inevitably hold grudges. If Li An and others did it, they would have nothing to say, but with Chen Yue's former reputation, how could they accept it?
Tang Yuhu said: "Even if Chen Shangwen doesn't bother to talk poetry to us, but he can tell his servants about the Three Kingdoms, it would be good for him to come over and point out some historical materials of the late Han Dynasty to open our eyes."
Zheng An was also among this group of people, and he also spoke out at this time: "Brother Tang, why do you have to say so politely? Then Chen Shangwen must have no words to copy. How many posts have we submitted in the past few days, but he has once Dare you come out?"
Luo Liang couldn't stand listening. He had just heard "Go East" yesterday, and he no longer had any doubts about his young master. He said angrily: "My young master has a great talent, but he just doesn't want to tell you about it! "
"Ha ha!"
"It's ridiculous to have great talent but not to say it out loud."
"Hahaha, what a great talent who doesn't want to talk about it."
It seemed as if the students had never heard such a funny joke before. People at several tables burst into laughter, attracting everyone in the hall to look at him and come over to find out what was going on.
Hao Li quickly pulled the corner of Luo Liang's clothes and said softly: "Brother Luo, don't be impulsive."
Ding Ye didn't want to look at the faces of the people over there. He paused with his chopsticks, raised his head and said, "Even if your young master is good at composing lyrics, it's not easy to compose another song called 'Thousands of Flowers Bloom on an East Wind Night'." , if the trouble gets too big and he is forced to do nothing, and the words he comes up with are not as good as before, then he will be accused of plagiarism."
As an outsider, he was willing to say these words in public, which was a very kind reminder. Luo Liang calmed down a little, turned around and walked away.
Zheng An said coldly: "What can I say to the two servants? I won't lose my identity. I'm afraid that Chen Shangwen will have slipped away by now. I, Zheng An, will leave my words here. He will I didn't dare to come out, so I decided that all his poems were copied!"
Luo Liang couldn't bear it anymore, pointed at Zheng An and scolded: "Straight bitch! You"
"Tsk, are you angry out of shame or guilty of being a thief? Haha!" Zheng An didn't care. The other party didn't dare to come up and fight with him anyway. However, the angrier they were, the more beneficial it would be to him. He had already suffered the loss of being angered by Chen Yue last time. , at this time, I thought of repaying the other person in the same way as the other person.
"Go to the east of the Yangtze River and hunt down all the famous people of the ages." After all, Gong Fu's character was not good enough, and he was not good at arguing with others. In a hurry, he read out the song "Nian Nujiao" in one breath. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he Regret it.
