Chapter 182: Trivia in the private room
After the storyteller left, there was a lot of discussion, and the whole Wanfu Building was as noisy as a vegetable market, and it couldn't be calm for a long time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In a private room on the second floor, the door that had just been opened to hear the storyteller's voice was quietly closed, isolating all the noise from the door.
"Hahaha, it's worthy of my Jiang someone's niece, and she's really bold!" Jiang Wu high-fived and laughed, and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, which was extremely happy.
"The princess is indeed a well-deserved heroine among women!" An old man beside him smiled and brushed his beard, showing appreciation. This old man is none other than the biggest reliance behind Wanfulou - Cheng Zhi, the official of the court.
At this time, Cheng Zhi was dressed in civilian clothes, and looked at the young man who had just returned to his seat with a very kind smile: "Yan'er, hearing your sister's outstanding performance, you should be relieved now, right?" ā
Lu Yan was still a little incredulous, and muttered, "That gentleman must have exaggerated, right?" My sister is usually very kind, how can she be as powerful as he described? ā
"Stinky boy, what Mr. Storyteller said was dictated by your Grandpa Cheng, do you dare to question your Grandpa Cheng?" Jiang Wu slapped his immature little shoulder vigorously, and glared at him again in anger.
Cheng Zhi would take this little thing to heart, laughed, nodded and gave Lu Yan a positive answer: "What the old man saw and heard yesterday is indeed as the man said just now, there is no exaggeration. Be kind to your relatives and have no mercy on your enemies, among the women the old man knows, there has never been such an old and spicy method at such a young age as your sister. You should be proud of her. ā
Lu Yan thought so, and puffed up his chest with honor, "What Grandpa Cheng said is that my sister is indeed the best woman in the world. ā
"This kid, I'm not afraid of your Grandpa Cheng's jokes when he says such big things!" Jiang Wu scolded with a smile, then remembered someone, and rarely sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity, your two sisters and brothers are so good, but there is such an eyeless foolish father, who doesn't know how to appreciate it at all." How nice it would be if you were my children......"
Speaking of his father's wrongness, although Lu Yan was also dissatisfied with him, he couldn't echo it, so he could only bow his head in embarrassment and remain silent.
Cheng Zhi was still careful, knowing the dilemma of this young man, and took over Jiang Wu's words: "When will your reckless character change, isn't your sister's child just like your own child?" It's all a family, what bastard things to say, and I'm not afraid that Yan'er will be chilled when she hears it! ā
He and Jiang Wu's late father were close friends, and it can be said that they watched the two brothers and sisters of the Jiang family grow up, so they spoke less politely in officialdom and were quite casual.
At the beginning, Jiang Wu was able to do things in Lu Zhenbang's career transfer, and he secretly asked Cheng Zhi for help. It's just that he stayed at the border for more than ten years, and after returning to Beijing, he lost his official position, and he felt shameless to face his old acquaintance, and he didn't dare to visit again. If it weren't for his niece Zhihua this time, he really didn't know when he would be able to muster up the courage to knock on the door of the Cheng family.
And the reason why Wanfulou has this wonderful commentary that is secretly biased towards the Weiguo Mansion today, the pursuit of interests certainly accounts for one factor, Cheng Zhi's heartfelt appreciation of Zhihua accounts for three factors, and the rest is all due to Jiang Wu.
Realizing that he had lost his words, Jiang Wu scratched his head embarrassedly, and apologized to his nephew Lu Yan in disguise: "Yan'er, you know that your uncle is a rough man, and he has always been unintentional, so don't take it to heart." ā
As Cheng Zhi said, they are all a family, how can Lu Yan care about such a trivial matter with his uncle. He winked at Jiang Wu slyly, and his narrow expression when he teased people was the same as his sister: "Uncle don't worry, of course my nephew won't go to my heart." But the slap my uncle just slapped on my shoulder was so strong that I still hurt. When my aunt looked back and asked me when I saw that I was unable to move, my nephew didn't dare to deceive me so he could only tell the truth. ā
Jiang Wuhu's eyes widened, and his eyes immediately exploded: "I can't stand it with a light palm, what kind of manly husband is it?" If you are not afraid of losing face, even if you go to your aunt to complain, your uncle will still be afraid that a mere woman will not succeed? ā
As soon as the words came out, the reckless man realized that he had gone too far, so he added in a whisper: "Ahem, what, if you want to sue, just sue yourself, don't talk too much about what your uncle says." ā
Cheng Zhi couldn't help laughing, pointed at Jiang Wu and laughed: "You, you, the more you live, the more you go back, and you actually bully your own nephew, I think you are the one who is embarrassed." ā
Regarding this, Jiang Wu was straightforward: "Uncle Cheng, you said that this is my nephew, isn't it natural for my nephew to let my uncle bully me." ā
The younger generations of the Cheng family are so relaxed and casual in front of Cheng Zhi, the two live treasures gag, which amused Cheng Zhi from time to time to burst into laughter, and when he was in a good mood, his appetite was naturally opened, and he ate half a bowl more in one meal than when he was at home.
Don't underestimate this half bowl, if his children and grandchildren know that this pair of nephews can have a way to coax their old lady to eat such a half bowl of rice, I am afraid that they will not be able to leave them on the Cheng family's table for three meals a day.
When they were full of wine and food, they had their own handymen to remove the leftovers and soak in fragrant tea according to their respective preferences.
The amber tea leaves stretched in the cup, and the aroma of the tea that he was accustomed to spreading in the air, Cheng Zhi took a deep breath, and before the tea could be eaten, he had already squinted his eyes pleasantly.
"Yan'er, the old man also has a few old acquaintances in your academy, and I have long heard that all the gentlemen who have taught you have praised you, I wonder if you can make a discussion on your brother-in-law's family now, so that the old man can see and understand?"
Lu Yan was still secretly reminiscing about the wonderful commentary he heard before, but he didn't react for a while, and then his shoulders went numb, and Jiang Wu's bear paw slapped up again.
"Silly boy, what are you doing in a daze, how many people can't ask for your Grandpa Cheng's guidance, why don't you hurry up and write it!"
"Ah......" Lu Yan came back to his senses and hurriedly bowed his hand to Cheng Zhi: "Grandpa Cheng, forgive me, the junior has just lost his mind, it's really rude." ā
"Hehe, it's okay." Cheng Zhi smiled kindly, understanding his mood at the moment very well, and didn't mind at all.
Lu Yan got up and walked to the bookcase in the corner of the private room, took a few deep breaths to calm his mood, and then lifted the wolf pen on the table and swayed it calmly.
Cheng Zhi and Jiang Wu didn't gather around to watch, they sat in place and talked about the past, most of the time Jiang Wu was talking, Cheng Zhi occasionally asked questions, and all the stories were about his experiences at the border for more than ten years.
In the past ten years, he has personally participated in countless battles of all sizes, large and small, and he can't finish talking about it for three days and three nights. Cheng Zhi was not half impatient, listened attentively, relished, and would ask a question or two from time to time, which led Jiang Wu to talk about it, and only stopped when he said that his mouth was dry.
took the tea cup on the table next to him, and Jiang Wu realized that the tea in the cup had been drunk by himself unconsciously. Turning his head and about to call Xiao Er to come up to add water, he found that his nephew was holding a piece of rice paper with dried ink, and he didn't know how long he had been standing behind him.
