Chapter 31:-for-tat versus verses

When a group of people in the house saw that today's main county commander had finally come, they hurriedly got up to greet him, "I've seen Song County Order."

The county magistrate waved his hand lightly, so that everyone didn't have to be polite.

Everyone sat at separate tables, a total of three tables, and the county magistrate and other high-ranking people sat at the main table.

Song County Commander sat in the main seat, Zhou County Cheng sat on the left hand side of the county order, and Ma Gongzi sat on the right hand side. Lin Mo and Zhao En stood on the side and listened to your orders, and Song County Ling smiled when he saw it:

"Let me introduce to you, this young man's name is Lin Mo, and he has made a lot of efforts to find out about this murder case, and he is a rare talent."

Everyone had already heard of it, and as soon as they heard the county order say this, they immediately understood, and hurriedly got up and bowed their hands to Lin Mo, and began to bombard Lin Mo in turns.

Prefectural Order

"Lin Mo, come and sit, today you are the master and I are guests, how can you let the host stand and sit as a guest."

Everyone looked at Lin Mo and the county magistrate and was surprised by the relationship between the two, and the gentry hurriedly persuaded Lin Mo to take a seat, don't live up to the kindness of the county magistrate.

Lin Mo politely refused:

"You are all the pillars of Qiannan, and you are here today for the county magistrate and the county to discuss the future plan of Qiannan. How dare I, a hairy boy, sit at the same table with you. ”

As soon as the county magistrate heard Lin Mo say this, he basically characterized this banquet as a gathering held by himself, the county magistrate, and his colleagues and famous people for the development of Qiannan.

The county magistrate smiled slightly and said:

"What you said is not bad, but this is also a banquet you set up to thank the county for helping you redress your grievances. As a county magistrate, it is my duty to uphold justice for the people, you don't have to care too much, I have received your heart. Today is an ordinary feast, there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority, we are all your guests, come and sit together. ”

Lin Mo secretly said that he was really thick-skinned, and he directly attributed all the credit to himself, and the officials really liked to wear high hats, but they did not show a trace of displeasure on the surface.

Lin Mo also got off the donkey, but he didn't know where to sit when he looked at the table, and at this time, Song County Ling glanced at it, and the gentry on the left side of the county changed to the side with interest and made way for Lin Mo.

Lin Mo did it very naturally.

Zhou Xiancheng on the side looked indifferent, glanced at Lin Mo with a hint of displeasure in his eyes, and didn't say anything. Seeing that everyone was seated, Zhao En asked if it was okay to serve the food? The prefectural magistrate nodded.

So Zhao En and his wife had already put the dishes on the table with Wu Shun and Zhou Fumali, at first some hors d'oeuvres.

But then a plate of dishes that everyone had never seen before, sweet and sour fish, braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, etc., the aroma of these dishes was fragrant, and everyone present couldn't help but be cheered.

Ma Gongzi asked first: "Lin Mo, who made these dishes, how come I have never seen such dishes." ”

Seeing that the county magistrate and everyone were equally puzzled, Lin Mo stood up and explained:

"These are the first day of the opening of the restaurant, the county order and the county lord and all of you came to make the restaurant shine. So today, I specially took out these treasured dishes and entertained you, please don't dislike them. ”

Everyone was eager to try, but they didn't move their chopsticks.

At this time, Song Xianling picked up the chopsticks and tasted them, and immediately applauded again and again, and then beckoned everyone to taste them together.

The rest of the people picked up the chopsticks and picked up the dishes and tasted them, everyone was stunned by this unique taste, and even Zhou Xiancheng, who had been at odds with Lin Mo next to him, was attracted by these dishes.

Lin Mo looked at everyone's performance and knew that he had achieved more than half of his goal today.

Everyone ate happily, while Lin Mo watched silently from the side.

Ma Ruowen frowned after tasting a few dishes, as if he had thought of something, and glanced at Lin Mo lightly, but Lin Mo didn't notice Ma Ruowen's gaze at all.

At the banquet, everyone staggered, pushed the cup to help the lamp, and talked about the past and present.

It seems to be harmonious, but Lin Mo always feels that the atmosphere seems to be a little weird, although they are all complimenting the Song County Order, but the county lord is silent, just looking at everyone lightly, and a few gentry did not echo the crowd, patting the Song County Order's sycophants.

Seeing this, Lin Mo could see that no matter how stupid he was, the county order and the county were not dealing with each other, and these gentry were also divided into two factions.

Lin Mo now regrets making the battle too big, if he is not careful, he will offend people, Lin Mo, the people here, really dare not offend, now he can only hope to be treated as air and spend this day in peace.

But Lin Mo's thoughts seemed to be seen through by Zhou Xiancheng, and he said:

"I heard that Lin Mo is quick thinking and witty, if today's banquet is just drinking and eating, it will be too boring, why don't I wait for a wine order, be a pair of rights to help the fun, and add some fun to the banquet, I don't know what to do?"

The gentry who were facing the county immediately echoed, and Zhou Xiancheng looked at the county order, but the county order was not impressed, and nodded with a smile in agreement.

Lin Mo looked at it, and said bitterly in his heart, no matter what he said, he couldn't refuse, otherwise it would be to save the face of the county order, the county Cheng and the other wealthy businessmen and gentry present.

So I had to bite the bullet and say: "Since the county Cheng said so, then I should accompany you, but if you make a fool of yourself, please don't laugh." ”

"Haha, Lin Mo laughed, how could he make a fool of himself with Lin Mo's talent, but Lin Mo's subordinates showed mercy not to embarrass everyone here." Zhou Xiancheng said with a smile.

Lin Mo wanted to cry without tears, this was to push himself to a dead end, he really didn't know how to offend Zhou Xiancheng. Ma Gongzi looked at Lin Mo and Zhou Xiancheng, and then looked at the county order's lively expression, but he didn't say anything.

"I don't know how Lord Cheng wants to help the fun?"

"So how about we start and end a couplet?"

"Couplet?" Lin Mo was a little puzzled, after all, he really hadn't heard of this thing.

At this time, Ma Gongzi, who had not spoken, spoke:

"The county lord is really very romantic, and he has to fight against everyone when and where he sings poetry. However, Lin Mo is just a white dress, how can he compare with the county Cheng, when Lin Mo is ugly, it will be too much of a sin to sweep away everyone's Yaxing. If the county does not dislike it, he can accompany the adults and you to make a song for the adults and elders in the next generation. ”

Lin Mo glanced at Ma Ruowen gratefully, Ma Ruowen nodded slightly, and motioned to Lin Mo to hurry up and find an opportunity to retreat, this time Zhou Xiancheng insisted that Lin Mo would not let go, so-for-tat, Lin Mo could only avoid his edge.

Lin Mo understood what Ma Ruowen meant, so he quickly got up and was about to leave.

Zhou Xiancheng didn't expect Ma Ruowen to relieve Lin Mo so directly, but Ma Ruowen couldn't help but give face, after all, Ma Zhiyuan was not a vegetarian, and he couldn't offend too much.

Just as Lin Mo got up to retire and was about to leave, the county magistrate suddenly stopped Lin Mo

"Lin Mo, since Zhou County has such a Yaxing, you can talk to him more, he is a famous talent in Qiannan, and he is brilliant, not to talk too much with him, but also to let you have a long insight, which will be of great benefit to you in the future to study and participate in the imperial examination."

Lin Mo's body was stunned all of a sudden, and he didn't know what to do, and Ma Ruowen also frowned, and he didn't know why the county order did this.

And although Zhou Xiancheng's expression did not change, his heart was already full of doubts.

Seeing this, the rest of the people also strongly persuaded Lin Mo to sit down, and Ma Ruowen also motioned for Lin Mo to sit down, and Lin Mo had no choice but to sit back again.

Since Lin Mo didn't know the beginning and end of the sentence, Lu Yuanwai briefly introduced the gameplay.

The rules are also simple, one person first says a verse, which can be five words or seven words, and the second person is saying one or several verses at the end of the poem that the previous person said.

In fact, it is equivalent to an upgraded version of idiom solitaire, but not to the idiom to the verse.

Lin Mo was a little nervous, after all, although he liked literature in his previous life and read a lot of ancient poems, he might not be able to use them.

This time, only Lin Mo, Ma Ruowen, and Zhou Xiancheng came to the right, first Lin Mo said, Zhou Xiancheng was right, then Ma Ruowen was right, and so on.

Lin Mo looked at the wine glass on the table helplessly, and said casually: "Qiong Jelly Jade Dew is intoxicating."

Zhou Xianling heard that his heart was really not a general, and after thinking for a while, he said, "The heart is like a hundred flowers that have not bloomed."

Ma Ruowen stared at Lin Mo for a while, and said, "It's more sad to be bored."

Lin Mo paused for a while and said: "The sorrow has broken and the tears have not condensed",

"A good sad bowel has broken tears and has not condensed, a few simple words directly describe a woman who is sad and sad for love, Lin Mo, you are really quick-witted." The county magistrate said with a smile.

Lin Mo realized that he could have pretended not to be right and directly punished himself, but now he has attracted the attention of the county order, which is really a miscalculation.

Zhou Xiancheng said: "Not only that, Lord County Order, you see that the two sentences are connected together, the elixir and jade dew are intoxicating, and the sorrowful intestines have not been broken and the tears have not condensed, these two sentences are connected seamlessly, it won't be in a complete poem made by Lin Mo, right?"

Lin Mo hurriedly shook his head

"This is what I got by chance, it's purely a coincidence, I've never participated in a scientific expedition, and I just read books occasionally, it's all a random patchwork, and I can't get it on the table."

The county magistrate waved his hand and said: "Don't be humble, there are no outsiders today, you just show what you have learned, let Zhou Xiancheng and you help you give you advice, you can come on." ”

"That's right, Lin Mo, don't be modest, you can recite poetry just by self-study, you make me wait for these conceited and well-read poetry people to be ashamed!"

Lin Mo was shocked when he heard this, he was pheating himself again, and he suddenly filled others with their jealousy.

Being targeted like this, it seems that it is impossible for me to get out of it today.
