Chapter 43: The Feast
"Lady, lady. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 As soon as the foolish lady entered the courtyard, she shouted happily, "Lady, how about you look at the new pipa that the slave maid bought?" ”
When Chang Se heard this, he really looked over and motioned to the foolish girl, "I'll take a look." ”
The foolish lady hurriedly handed the pipa nervously over.
"What does the lady think?" The foolish lady asked tentatively.
Chang Se looked at it for a while, and didn't show his liking or dissatisfaction, but just plucked a note at random, with a faint expression, "It's good." ”
Is it really good? But the lady didn't try it much?
"The lady is so powerful, she can write and play the piano, but the slave doesn't know anything." The foolish lady sighed, her face full of admiration for Chang Se, "If the lady is in the sky, the slave also wants to hear the mother play the piano." ”
Chang Se looked at her and hesitated, "Do you want to hear it?" I'll play it to you. ”
The foolish lady was flattered, she was a casual joke.
Hurriedly said: "How can I let the lady play the piano for the slave and maid!" "Doesn't that torment her?
"Yes." Chang Se gently stroked the pipa in his hand, "The song is meant to be played for people to listen to." ”
"Then the slave and maid should be respectful and obey their orders." The foolish lady gave a salute happily, and said, "Lady, please wait a minute, the slave maid asked Lao Wu to come over and listen together." ”
The more people listen to it, the more lively it becomes.
"Okay."
……
Changjia.
There was a constant stream of guests.
As the descendants of the Chang family, it is understandable that Master Chang and Master Chang Er greet guests.
"Master Li, please inside, please inside."
"Master Zhang, rare guests!"
"Lord Zhixian!" When he shouted, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he didn't care about beckoning others, so he hurriedly greeted him.
Since ancient times, the official family has come first, and the other party is still the most noble person in Yunzhou! Moreover, Lord Zhixian is still the top boss of Master Chang, so this knot is naturally indispensable.
"Xia Guan also saw a magpie chirping in front of the window this morning, it turned out that he knew that the magistrate was coming." Master Chang bowed respectfully, with a humble smile on his face.
When the magistrate heard this, the expression on his face was also happy, "Third Elder Chang, today is Mrs. Chang's birthday, how can this official not come." ”
"Yes, yes, there's Lord Lao."
The magistrate coughed lightly twice, and his nostrils were about to go to the sky, obviously eating the same set of Master Chang.
This man, who doesn't love other people's compliments. This is someone who is willing to compliment you, it only shows that your status is worthy of compliments, which is a very decent thing!
Although the official position of the magistrate is not big, it is the largest for this Yunzhou. With this, it is natural that there is capital to be complimented.
Master Chang said some things that the county magistrate liked to listen to with a smile on his face, and the other party who coaxed him was almost unable to close his mouth, and was about to invite someone in, when he inadvertently glanced at a strange face.
casually asked, "Who is this?" ”
It's really just a casual question, and this casual is because this person is standing next to the magistrate. This is to please a person, and naturally you can't ignore the special changes around the other person to reflect your own constant attention.
It's just that Master Chang didn't expect that his casual behavior made Lord Zhixian have a strange change, not only did the smile on his face immediately converge, but that attitude was also a respectful attitude that Master Chang had never had.
"This ......"
It's just that the words of the magistrate have not yet been finished, and the convenience suddenly smiled: "Chang Sanlao, don't hide it, I am a distant relative of the magistrate, and I happened to pass by here, so come and take a look." Today, I heard that the Chang family held a birthday banquet, so I stopped by to congratulate him, Chang San Lao will not be surprised, right? ”
A relative of the magistrate? As soon as the other party's voice fell, Master Chang's brain quickly turned.
What kind of relative can make the nostrils of the magistrate look respectful like that? Looking at the appearance of this person, it is clear that he is the same age as the son of the magistrate.
The difference is that this person is not only dressed luxuriously, but even his conversation temperament is extraordinary. To put it mildly, you know what the county lord looks like, can he have such a relative?
Of course, although he was puzzled, Master Chang didn't show it. He could have noticed that this person had a calm look when he interrupted the magistrate's words just now. And the magistrate was not angry.
Could this person be the son of a noble man in Luoyang?
The more Master Chang thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and naturally that attitude was also respectful.
"Where is it, it is the honor of my Chang family for Lang Jun to come here, I don't know what Lang Jun is called?"
The man hesitated, but still smiled and said, "Master Chang is polite, and his surname is Bai." ”
Surname Bai? Are there any nobles in Luoyang with the surname Bai? Master Chang was a little puzzled.
He did, however, notice that Lord Magistrate's respect for this person was unusual. Could it be that he was really lonely and unheard, and he actually missed a nobleman?
It's better to talk to the magistrate later, so that I can listen and listen.
Master Chang thought so, and exchanged a few words with the two of them before personally leading people over to sit down.
As soon as the magistrate sat down, the people at the banquet were all there.
With the appearance of the lord sitting on the old lady, the whole feast can be regarded as begins. As the protagonist of this banquet, Mrs. Chang's speech is naturally indispensable. In fact, it is nothing more than thanking everyone and the like.
And when she finishes speaking, the highlight of the day begins.
is similar to the Chang family's thoughts, these people who come to the banquet, on the one hand, want to get closer to the Chang family, and by the way, find suitable marriage partners for their children.
Of course, this is just the idea of ordinary people, but not for Sun Erlangjun. In his opinion, such a banquet is really boring, if it weren't for the possibility of coming here to see Chang Shi Niang, who he longed for, he wouldn't want to come!
But seeing that this banquet has begun for some time, Chang Shi Niang has never appeared, Sun Erlangjun was in a hurry, and he couldn't sit still, so he excused himself to change clothes and walked into the backyard of Chang's house.
Because many people in the house were busy with the banquet in the front yard, it was difficult to see a person in the backyard, and naturally no one saw him.
He walked through the backyard unimpeded.
But after walking for a while, Sun Erlang began to get impatient, it was the first time he entered the backyard of the Chang family, and he didn't know where Chang Shi Niang's residence was. When I was tired, I saw a person walking towards me.
Sun Erlang was immediately overjoyed, because that person was Chang Shi Niang's father, Master Chang!
"Sun Erlang-kun?" Master Chang also saw him and was surprised, "Why did Sun Erlangjun come here?" This is the backyard of the Chang family. ”
Of course, Sun Erlang knew that this was the backyard of the Chang family, but he couldn't admit it, so he just coughed lightly, "Ahem, that, Chang Sanlao, I originally came out to change clothes, but I accidentally got lost." ”
"Oh." Master Chang actually believed it, "I'm sorry Erlangjun, because there are really not enough people today, so ...... In this way, I'll take Erlang-kun over. ”
