Chapter 112: Honorable and Humble
He Heng had been to the capital and knew that eating outside would not be cheaper than partnering with Han Xiufeng and others in the guild hall, so he happily paid for a month's food and tea for him and his family.
As for the opening and closing time that Han Xiufeng said, He Heng would not say anything.
Because the post stations on the way from Sichuan to the capital and even those inns in the capital are all closed and locked at the end of the day, and the doors are only opened at midnight the next day. After all, there are several people who are about to participate in the exam, and some of them like to read at night, and shouting and slamming the door in the middle of the night will not only affect people's hard work, but also affect others' rest.
Ren He didn't want to partner with Han Xiufeng in his heart, but seeing that Liu Shanyang also paid for a month's meal and tea, and the Ministry of Rites ate in the guild hall like Master Qian, he could only let Ren Yan pay for it.
All they give is broken silver, and it's all about face, no one wants to be laughed at, they can only give more than less.
Han Xiufeng looked at the three piles of broken silver, and said in embarrassment: "Three, why are they all broken silver, and I don't have a scale (weighing silver and gold), so why should I find it for you!" ”
He Heng waved his hand, got up and said with a smile: "You don't need to look for it, it's not much." Brother Han, which room do we live in? ”
"There are two rooms on the west side, and there are two rooms on the east side, do the three of them discuss it, or draw lots?"
"It's all self-sufficient, what do you get, just have a house."
"Okay, I'll get the keys for the three of you."
……
I heard that Second Master Fei lived in the northernmost room in the west, and He Heng proposed to live next door to Second Master Fei.
Liu Shanyang and Ren He didn't say anything, and Han Xiufeng didn't say anything, opened the lock, handed over the key to them, and asked them to make their own beds and clean up, then turned around and asked Pan Er to go to the street to get some soju, buy some snacks, and give the three of them a pick-up. Du San slept for a day, but the three who had just arrived didn't wait to see him, so they simply went to the street with Pan Er to drink and buy food.
As soon as the two of them left on the front foot, Fei Erye came back on the back foot.
Reunited with He Heng after a long absence, the old man was very happy to meet his old acquaintance in a foreign country like a fake package, and asked this and that, chatting happily.
Han Xiufeng accompanied them for a while, and came out to see if the supper was ready, only to find that Ren He had gone to the West Wing, as if he was still going with an article, Qian Junchen could be called a corporal of Lixian, and he was talking about it.
"Young master, you're ready, when will the banquet start?" Pan Er dried his hands and ran over to ask.
"You don't have to wait for anyone, let's have a table."
"Okay, I'll call the second master."
Han Xiufeng walked into the hall and saw a plate of smoked pork knuckle, a plate of pork skin jelly, a plate of flowering beans, three cut salted duck eggs and a plate of pickles that had just been soaked a few days ago, and I don't know if there were any soaked kimchi on the table of the Eight Immortals.
There are all cold dishes and hot dishes, and the wine rests on the incense table, although it doesn't cost much, it looks good.
The big head held a bowl of vermicelli that had not yet been completely soaked, and walked in to offer treasures and asked, "Young master, how is this table of wine?" ”
"Yes, yes." Han Xiufeng praised and asked curiously, "What about you, what are you eating?" ”
"It's done, stew cabbage like noon, and put two taels of meat."
"Why don't you put more."
"It's good to have meat to eat, how much can you put in." The big head smiled, put down the noodles and wiped his mouth, and then wiped his hands on his self-sufficient clothes.
After wiping the oil on his mouth, he knew that he had eaten meat secretly, Han Xiufeng pretended not to see it and walked to the door of the West Wing, and shouted: "Brother Qian, Master Ren, it's supper!" ”
"Oh, here we are!"
Qian Junchen opened the door unsatisfied, Second Master Fei, He Heng, and Liu Shanyang also arrived, and Han Xiufeng greeted: "Second Master, masters, please take a seat." ”
"Oh, there is wine and meat, so rich!" Second Master Fei was surprised, and rubbed his hands when he looked at the table full of wine and food.
"Second master, although tonight is a reception banquet, although Master He, Master Liu and Master Ren are taking the wind and washing the dust, but you are highly respected and have to take a seat."
"Zhixing, I'll still sit here, I'm the light of Junjie, how can I sit on the throne."
"Second master, Brother Zhixing has said that you are old and respectable, who would dare to sit on the main seat if you don't sit on the main seat."
"Yes, yes, second master, please." Liu Shanyang also agreed.
"Second master, all of them are self-sufficient, let you sit down." Qian Junchen pulled Fei Er Ye to sit on the main seat, and then beckoned everyone to the table, and said with a smile: "Zhixing, what about Mr. Du Qian, why can't Mr. Du Qian come?" ”
"No, I'm eating!" Du San was reluctant to eat and drink with their group of scholars, to be precise, he was afraid that they would recite poems and make a difference after a few sips of wine. Glancing at the door, he went back to his self-sufficiency house.
Han Xiufeng felt that this was not good, and was about to pull him over, but Ren ran over, and just raised his left leg to cross the threshold, Pan Er actually walked up and stopped him.
"Second Master Ren, what are you doing?"
"Supper, aren't you going to give us a pick-up?"
"We are to catch the wind for Master Ren, not for you. I said Second Master Ren, you are also a person who has seen the world, why don't you even understand this rule. Let's go to the East House and eat with the big heads. ”
There are only five or six people at the table that can seat eight people, but they are not allowed to sit when there is a vacant seat, and Ren Er is very embarrassed by Pan Er's words, his face suddenly turned red, and he can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Ren He was as embarrassed, but it was not good to be angry with Pan Er.
Because the scene is about dignity and humility, he is a master, his younger brother is not, if he lets his younger brother on the table, it will be rude, and it will make Master Qian and Second Master Fei laugh.
Just when he didn't know what to say, Han Xiufeng smiled and said, "Brother Ren, where to eat is not to eat, let's go, let's go to the East House together." ”
"Zhixing, what are you kidding, you are the head of the guild hall, how can you go!" Fei Erye subconsciously stood up.
Han Xiufeng knew that they were either chanting poems or discussing splendid articles after a few glasses of wine, and he didn't want to be mixed and even less wanted to be laughed at by them, so he arched his hand and said: "Second Master, Master He, they don't know, you always know." Du Qian is always my brother-in-law, I can't let him drink alone in the East House, you always eat and drink well, I will come back to toast you masters in a while. ”
"Well, I know you're a righteous person, and you won't be able to eat well if you sit here."
"Zhixing, I'll be sure to come over later." Qian Junchen also smiled.
"It must be, everyone, please use it slowly," Han Xiufeng arched his hand again, turned around and explained: "Changsheng, you must serve a few masters well." ”
"I know," Pan Er grinned, walked to the incense case, picked up the wine jug and began to pour wine for Fei Erye and the others.
