Chapter 44: Fame Grows
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the treetops near the mountain pavilion, the small lake at the foot of the mountain is brilliant, sparkling, in the soft and sweet singing of several female dancers on the stage, the literati and celebrities hold each other's hands and touch their shoulders, laugh loudly, and gradually go away along the forest path, leaving only bursts of singing echoing on the mountain pavilion.
"Yu'er, let's go back too." Yuexiang said softly, looking at Chu Zhen who had not woken up not far away, sighing leisurely in her heart, Bai Jinyu nodded helplessly, got into the carriage with Yuexiang, and disappeared into the ancient road of the mountain pavilion accompanied by the crisp bells.
Looking at the somewhat messy and messy venue in front of him, Chu Qian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he finally lived up to the expectations of many scribes, this banquet was held successfully, and most importantly, Chu Qian turned around and looked at Chu Zhen next to him, his heart was full of joy, and he not only gave himself a surprise, but also left a good impression in front of everyone.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, although there is a solution to the siege, Chu Qian did not explain Chu Qian's identity in public, but among the people present, a few of them are Chu Qian's top bosses, how dare Chu Qian hide it from them, only half a sound, only then did he say the details of Chu Qian.
As long as one person knows, everything is not a secret, when the banquet disperses and the literati and celebrities leave, Chu Zhen's identity is no longer a secret, and Chu Ji, who has not spoken, immediately became the target of public criticism, and was poured a few glasses of wine in turn.
Scholarly family, knowledgeable, young talent, this is in line with the consistent thinking of the literati, after a sigh, the banquet continued, the literati continued to drink and have fun, poems and lyrics, Chu quality is just an episode in the banquet, of course, this episode left a deep impression of conviction.
Soon after, Chu Zhen's name fell into the eyes of those who care, and the two new words were repeatedly played and sung.
When night fell, a waning moon was suspended in mid-air, the stars were brilliant, scattered in the night sky, and the clear light was sprinkled on the earth, looking so cold and lonely.
"Qiu'er, hasn't he come back yet?" In the attic of the West House of Chu Mansion, Mrs. Hui frowned lightly, and her face was full of worry and worry.
"Mrs. Hui, don't worry, it's so late, the son should have spent the night at the third master's house, and there will be nothing wrong." Qiu'er hurriedly comforted and said.
"Qian'er promised me that he would come back in the evening, and it was impossible to be at the third uncle's house, something must have happened." Mrs. Hui said sadly.
"Mrs. Hui, don't worry, Childe must have been delayed by something, that's why he didn't come back so late, and after a while, Childe will definitely come back." Qiu'er continued to persuade her, and her pretty little face also swept a ray of melancholy.
"No, Qiu'er, you let Changgui go out to find it, and you must find Gongzi back." After waiting for a while, Mrs. Hui still couldn't settle down in her heart, and held Qiu'er's thin white little hand and prayed.
"No need to go, I won't be going home tonight." A voice sounded suddenly, and Mrs. Hui and Qiu'er turned their heads to look, only to see Chu Luo slowly walking in from outside.
"Husband-kun (lord)." Mrs. Hui and Qiu'er hurriedly got up and gave a salute, and then Qiu'er also retreated in interest.
"It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?" Chu Luo asked softly, but there was a complicated look on his face.
"Husband, what did you just say?" Mrs. Hui's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of urgency, and she took two steps forward and habitually pulled Chu Luo's sleeve, and there was a hint of pleading in her tone: "What's wrong with Qian'er?" ”
"He's fine, now he is spending the night at the third brother's house." Chu Luo said in a harmonious voice.
"Good guy, why don't you come back." Mrs. Hui's heart was relieved, but she was still a little worried, afraid that Chu Zhen would cause trouble outside again, so she was not afraid to go home.
"At a young age, but he learned to drink, and he was so drunk that he couldn't wake up, so he naturally couldn't come back." Chu Luo snorted lightly, there was no expression on his face, and he didn't know whether he was happy or angry.
"Did you drink?" Mrs. Hui exclaimed, holding Chu Luo's big hand delicately and softly, and said urgently, "Don't wake up yet?" Husband, how is the child now? ”
"I'm sleeping soundly, and I'll wake up naturally after the wine is over tomorrow." Looking at Mrs. Hui's anxious appearance, Chu Luo sighed in his heart and explained in harmony.
"Husband, what the hell is going on? Qian'er is obviously at the third uncle's house, how can she drink? "Poor Mrs. Hui's heart, with Chu Luo's words ups and downs, can't settle down at all.
"This is not the third brother's trouble, early this morning in the ten-mile long pavilion in Xiangfu County outside the city, some famous scholars and Confucians in Bianliang City, in order to give Mr. Shao a meal, held a banquet there, and the third brother asked Qian'er to pretend to be a servant and mixed in to have a look." Chu Luo said, with a hint of envy in his tone, in fact, he didn't know about this party, but he didn't receive an invitation from others, so naturally he couldn't be cheeky and insisted on joining in the fun.
"And then?" Mrs. Hui's eyes were sparkling, and she also knew that such a gathering was not something ordinary people could go, although there were many literati and students in Bianliang City, but there were only a handful of famous scholars and Confucians.
"Later ......." Chu Luo's eyes flickered strangely, and he was silent for a moment before he whispered Chu Qian's performance in the party.
"Husband, you mean, Zhen'er made two poems at the banquet, which were appreciated by the celebrities and scholars present." Mrs. Hui didn't seem to hear clearly, and her beautiful eyes blinked again and again.
"How big brother didn't lie to me, that's how it should be." Chu Luo nodded and said, after hearing the news from Chu Ji just now, his reaction was the same.
"Husband, tell the concubine that this is all true." Mrs. Hui held Chu Luo's arm tightly with both hands, and her clear eyes were shining.
"It's true." Chu Luo nodded very affirmatively, and recited softly: "The young man doesn't know what it's like to be sad, hmph, he hasn't read so many years in vain, and he has a bit of talent." ”
"Husband, he ...... the hostage, and he ......." Mrs. Hui's beautiful eyes slowly flushed, the light flickered, and it seemed that she would fall at any time, and her heart was intertwined with sourness and excitement, and she wanted to vent something, but her mind was blank, and she repeated a few sentences, but she didn't fully say what she wanted to express.
Suddenly, Mrs. Hui seemed to have lost the strength of her whole body, her body was weak, and she fell on Chu Luo's shoulder, the tears in her eyes were like springs, and they continued to fall on Chu Luo's clothes, sobbing silently, Chu Luo couldn't notice it, and gently held Mrs. Hui in her arms, was silent for a moment, and let out a slight sigh from her mouth.
