Chapter 37 Old General Yu sighed
Fuyun Restaurant is not the most luxurious restaurant in Yingtian City, and there is still a gap between it and the carrier restaurant, but it is better because it covers an extremely wide area, and it does not need to be divided into many private rooms, just in the lobby, it can put the tables that everyone in the Starry Night Academy needs.
General Yu personally made the east, and the banquet was all students of the Starry Night Academy, the highest institution of learning in the Great Chu Kingdom, that was the thing that made the Fuyun Restaurant flourish, and the benefits that could be brought were simply innumerable, so the shopkeeper was also very attentive, and let people purchase the freshest ingredients early in the morning, and many top-class chefs in the back kitchen were busy coming and going, as if it was a New Year's holiday, so it was not a fuss.
In the main hall, with the belated arrival of Chen Linci, it didn't take long for all the students to sit down, General Yu didn't speak, and none of the students present dared to make noise.
It didn't take long for the wine and food to fill the table one after another, and General Yu smiled, raised his wine glass and said: " Ladies and gentlemen of Starry Night Academy, I have lived in the barracks for most of my life, and the testimonials I have made are all mobilized before the expedition, so I don't know what it is like for you dolls to drink alcohol, anyway, today's banquet is mainly to know which young talents are the classmates who study with my family Ah Jun, by the way, thank you for taking care of Ah Jun for a year, now the wine is also available, the dishes are also served, you don't have to worry too much red tape, enjoy it as much as possible. β
Hearing General Yu say that the banquet can start, all the students raised their glasses, although General Yu said that there is no need to worry about too much red tape, but the people who really don't care about these things must have a brain disease, so after toasting General Yu with a glass of wine, the banquet has just begun.
At the beginning, everyone ate very restrained, even Chen Linci was like this, after all, the old man sitting on the side was the old leader of the general, who galloped on the battlefield back then, and he didn't know how many lives he had harvested, and there was a domineering spirit of the superior between his gestures, although the old man had begun to cultivate his mind after retiring to the house, but that aura still made everyone a little nervous.
So there was an extremely delicate scene, the students at the other tables had already eaten, drunk and chatted a lot more actively, only on the main table, no one spoke, and few people even moved chopsticks to eat.
It was the old general himself who broke the silence.
He looked at Chen Linci with a smile and said in a low voice, "Boy, do you know why I want to set up this banquet at this Fuyun Restaurant today?"
Gong Lihan, Qin Lang and the others all looked at each other silently, everyone present was the best in the Starry Night Academy, naturally no one was a fool, and some clues could be seen from the position arranged by General Yu, coupled with the previous rumors, everyone naturally had a number of people in their hearts who the real protagonist of this banquet was except for General Yu.
Chen Linci put down the chopsticks that were still holding a piece of roast duck leg in his hand, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Old general, you didn't just now."
Did you say it, mainly to see us, and by the way, thank you for taking care of Yu Jun this year. β
Old General Yu smiled when he heard this, and said: "You kid is a ghost, don't give me this sloppy eye, my old man has held banquets to invite you to the mansion many times, and you don't want to come over, it's really too bad for my old man to save face." β
When these words were spoken, even if they gave Chen Linci a lot of face, General Yu was blaming on the surface, but there was half a point of blame between the words, and he also confirmed the rumors that Chen Linci had refused Yufu's invitation to banquets many times, which invisibly gave Chen Linci a lot of face.
Chen Linci was a little cramped, although he was also a person who had seen the world between life and death, but it was also the first time he met General Yu who spoke so straightforwardly, so he replied in a daze: "Old general, you are a member of the military, at that time, Chi Jiaoxi told me that the Great Chu military will always open the door for me, which really scared me, how boring it is to be a soldier, I don't want to be a soldier, what if I go to your house for a banquet, and you send me to the frontier to fight?" It was not easy for me to come to the capital from Linxi City on the border, but I don't want to go back to the border. That's why I refused to go to your house for banquets again and again. β
"Oh?" Old General Yu didn't expect Chen Linci to speak so sincerely, and the reason he said was so simple that he couldn't help laughing, and then said: "I always thought that your kid was a mature and stable guy with his own city government, but I didn't expect to have such a child's temper." β
Everyone present, including Gong Lihan and Yu Jun, was amused by the reason given by Chen Linci, Chen Linci touched the back of his head, and said puzzledly: "I always thought that I was a mature and stable person, what I just told you is the truest thought in my heart, is it so ridiculous?"
General Yu stopped smiling and said: "It's not so ridiculous, it's actually normal for you to have this idea at your age, in fact, you are a very amazing child, maybe it is because of this greatness that everyone has higher expectations for you, thinking that it is normal for you to be perfect in all aspects, but that is too unreal, I like you like to be so real." β
Chen Linci was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
At this moment, there was a commotion on the wine table next to him, and Chen Linci was relieved.
The banquet between students, especially between students of the Academy of the Starry Night Academy, will never talk about anything more than political affairs, literature and practice.
When it comes to cultivation, there are Chen Linci and Gong Lihan and others at the main table, and they don't dare to brag about themselves, so they only have occasional discussions and consultations, but since ancient times, there has been a saying that there is no first martial arts and no second martial arts, and when it comes to literature, everyone begins to make trouble.
Most of the beings here are either rich or noble, like Chen Lin
There are very few people who have no family background, so they have received the best education since they were young, and they are all good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and when it comes to the realm of cultivation, there may be talent and hard work and chance mixed in, but when it comes to reading, everyone is not convinced.
After all, knowledge is not divided into such a detailed and complicated class as the Nine Orders and Twenty-Seven Realms like the Cultivation Path, and everyone is very confident in themselves, so a banquet becomes a meeting of poetry and poetry.
When General Yu Lao talked to Chen Linci, the other tables had already started a poetry competition similar to the ring, and the two poetry students each took out ten taels of silver, and wrote poems according to the specified theme within the specified time, and then handed them over to the students present to evaluate, who is of good quality, who will take the silver taels, and can also punish the other party for a glass of wine, this kind of competition has always been regarded as a very elegant entertainment activity by the young people of the Great Chu State, so it is popular all over the country, no matter which county or county in the restaurant, you can almost see this kind of competition between scholarsγ
The most noisy time was when Zha Tianyou, the youngest son of the Wenyuan Pavilion University Scholar Zha Yong's family, and Shen Qingqiu, the young master of the Shen Yuanzhi family, the twenty-sixth year champion of Tianxi, appeared.
The son of a scholar and the young master of Zhuang Yuanlang, who have been influenced by poetry and books since childhood, have inherited their father's literary accomplishments, although the two have not gone very far on the road of cultivation, but they are both full of poetry and books, and it can almost be said that they will be able to take over their father's class steadily in the future and become a new generation of bachelors and champions, so their status in the literary world of Starry Night Academy is almost equivalent to Chen Linci and Gong Lihan in practice.
These two representatives appeared and began to fight poetry, which naturally caused a lot of sensation, not only did the two take out silver taels as bets, but the classmates at other tables also opened the market in private, pressing who could win in the end.
Old Man Yu was also interested, and said with a smile: "If my old man guessed correctly, these two boys are the descendants of Zha Yong and Shen Yuanzhi, right?"
Yu Jun hurriedly responded: "Grandpa, you recognize it right, the guy in white is called Zha Tianyou, and the guy in silk is called Shen Qingqiu, the son of a scholar and a champion. β
"Sure enough, the hero is a teenager. General Yu stroked his beard and sighed: "When the two of them first entered the political arena, I was still a young general, and in a blink of an eye, their children were so old, and I was also old." β
"Grandpa, you're not old. Yu Junsa said: "You haven't watched me grow up, but you are not allowed to say that you are old." β
Old General Yu glanced at Chen Linci with complicated eyes, sighed, touched Yu Jun's head and said, "You stupid girl, you're almost twenty years old, why haven't you grown up." β
Yu Jun put his head close to the old general's shoulder, did not speak, and did not know what he was thinking.
She heard the old general's faint sigh just now.
She knew that the old general glanced at Chen Linci quietly.
She has a good impression of Chen Linci, since the punch on the riding field, Chen Linci not only repelled the white silk horse, but also scared her soul.
But she never did
dared to hope for anything, because she knew that Chen Linci had never seen herself in his eyes.
Chen Linci had a purple face in his eyes, and then Luo Ziyan left, and only Zhao Yiran of White Horse Academy was left in his eyes.
Yu Jun realized this earlier than Chen Linci, because a woman's sense of smell is always much more sensitive than that of a man.
She is the dignified Miss Yu Fu, the granddaughter of the old general Yu Tianxiong, how can she have unrequited love?
So she has always refused to like Chen Linci.
Maybe I really don't like it.
