Chapter 336: Sycophants out of tune
Xia Chuchu saw that the atmosphere on the wine table was a little depressing, so he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, smiled at Secretary Lu, and said a little mischievously: "Secretary Lu, you have tested Ye Ming so many questions, and I will also test you, how about it?" My topic is also in "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", if you answer it, I will have two cups; If you can't answer, how about you have a drink? Shouldn't I be guilty of the following? β
Secretary Lu was originally the same as Ye Ming, he was immersed in a rather sad mood, and when he heard Xia Chuchu's words, he was stunned for a moment, a smile appeared on his face, and asked, "Chu Chu, do you also like to watch "Strange Tales from Liaozhai"?" I've not studied this book very well, but I've read it once or twice. γFull text readingγTell me, what is the topic? β
Xia Bicheng hurriedly smiled and said: "Secretary Lu, you don't know, Chu Chu has been particularly interested in books and stories that write about ghosts and demons since she was a child, especially "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", she doesn't know how many times she has read it. Because she has read too many of these books, she has developed her current ghostly character. If you talk to her about fasting, she can talk to you for three days and three nights. Hehehe! β
Secretary Lu also smiled and said, "It's good to read and talk about Zhai!" Mr. Guo Moruo has an incisive couplet, which is a high evaluation of "Strange Tales from Liaozhai": "Writing ghosts and demons is superior, and stabbing greed and stabbing abuse into the wood". Chu Chu can like to talk about different things, it's a good thing! Chu Chu, you come up with the question! β
Xia Chuchu pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "I also have a poem here, which is from "Strange Tales from Liaozhai". My question is the same as what you just asked Ye Ming to answer, and I also ask you to say which story this poem comes from in "Strange Tales from Liaozhai". The poem reads: 'The dusk is unmasked, and the west wind outside the window is cold and transparent.' Listen to the sound of bananas, and the drizzle is falling. Where to hang out with people? Looking through the autumn water, I didn't see returning home, and my tears were like numbness. I miss him again, hate him again, and hold red embroidered shoes in my hand to occupy ghosts. ββ
When she heard the last two sentences, everyone in the room couldn't help but laugh.
Secretary Lu smiled and said, "Chu Chu, you drink first!" I just remember this poem, it's from the "Fengyang Shiren" article in "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", right? β
Xia Chuchuman thought that Secretary Lu would not be interested in such a more resentful poem, and he should not remember it, but he didn't expect him to answer without thinking, and he admired Secretary Lu very much in his heart, so he stretched out his tongue and made a grimace at Secretary Lu, smiled, and drank two glasses of wine very happily.
At this time, the two bottles of wine on the table had been dried up, and everyone had eaten about the same.
When Secretary Lu was taking the examination for Ye Ming today, there was almost no question that stumped him, so he drank a few more glasses of wine, and when the wine was about to finish, he looked at Ye Ming with his eyes and said with a smile: "I am inviting you into the urn today and making a cocoon to bind yourself!" I set my own rules for drinking and taking the school, and I ended up drinking the most. Still, I'm very happy. As the saying goes: the afterlife is terrible! I originally thought that I was a well-read person, and I also thought that I should be a bit accomplished in terms of literary and historical knowledge. However, judging from the results of today's school examination, it really responds to the old saying: the Yangtze River pushes the front, and the new people in the world beat the old people! Hahaha! β
Although Secretary Lu lost the school examination this time, his heart was full of pride: Ye Ming is worthy of being the son of himself and Zhao Han, and he has completely inherited the advantages of the two of them: love literature and history, erudite and strong memory, extensive knowledge, and well-read. In terms of talent alone, he is far better than his eldest daughter Lu Nianzi......
Moreover, when Ye Ming answered these questions, Secretary Li, Xia Bicheng and others all praised each other, which also made his heart as a father extremely satisfied, and a sense of pride of "having a son like this, what more can a husband ask for" spontaneously......
Because he had to go to a meeting with Secretary Li in the evening, Secretary Lu didn't dare to stay for a long time, but he was really a little reluctant to Ye Ming in his heart.
Therefore, before leaving, he said to Ye Ming, "Xiao Ye, are you free tomorrow morning?" Tomorrow is Saturday, and I can take some time to meet you in the office for a cup of tea and a little more talk. If you want to go, I'll ask Xiao Xu to drive to pick you up. β
Xia Bicheng saw that Secretary Lu personally invited Ye Ming to his office to chat with him in front of so many people, and there was a little impatience in his tone, as if he was afraid that Ye Ming would not go, and he was shocked again: The secretary of the provincial party committee personally invited him to his office to drink tea and chat, this kind of treatment, the average city and state leader is afraid that he can't enjoy it! It seems that his estimation is correct, Secretary Lu is going to vigorously cultivate and promote Ye Ming!
So, he preemptively smiled and said to Ye Ming: "Xiao Ye, you still don't thank Secretary Lu?" You are our local taxation system, and it is not only your personal honor to go to the office of the secretary of the provincial party committee to have tea and chat with Secretary Lu, but also to me, the director of the provincial bureau! Secretary Lu is so approachable, so kind and easy-going, blessed are the people of our province! β
Secretary Lu listened to his sycophant shooting very out of tune, how uncomfortable he listened, thinking to himself how could this Xia Bicheng be at this level? I couldn't help frowning slightly.
Secretary Li next to him also listened very uncomfortable, and felt that Xia Bicheng seemed to be a little wrong today, what "I, the director of the provincial bureau, am also honored", what "the people of our province are blessed", such naked/naked/naked sycophants, how did he say it? Why didn't I find out that he still had such a big problem before?
Even Xia Chuchu felt that her father's sycophants were really not clever, which made her goosebumps all over her body.
In order to alleviate this dilemma, Xia Chuchu hurriedly smiled and said to Secretary Lu: "Secretary Lu, I won't go to work tomorrow morning, and I will go to your office with the hillbilly to play, okay?" When the time comes, you chat with the hillbilly, and I will make tea for you, and I will never disturb your topic, how about it? β
Secretary Lu still likes this beautiful, generous, and fast-talking girl very much from the bottom of his heart, so after hearing that she said that she was going to his office to play, he hurriedly said: "Okay, Chu Chu is warmly welcome to play together!" When the time comes, I will have a tea conversation with Xiaoye around the fireplace, and you will add fragrance to the red sleeves next to you, which will also be a beautiful scenery! Hehehe! β
After Secretary Lu, Secretary Li and others left, Xia Chuchu immediately grabbed Ye Ming's arm and said to Xia Bicheng, who was about to say goodbye to Li Jingya and go home: "Dad, I still have to go out shopping with Ye Ming, maybe I will come back later, you tell your mother." β
Xia Bicheng had completely approved of his daughter's relationship with Ye Ming at this time, so he replied with a smile: "Okay, you guys go!" Xiaoye, it's windy outside, you have to take care of Chu Chu and don't let her freeze. Also, it's best to go home a little early, not too late. β
Ye Ming hurriedly agreed.
