The old lady's 60th birthday is a rare event for the Chu family, and the house has already been lit up, and a huge lantern will be hung every few steps, reflecting the Chu Mansion as if it were day.

The servants of the Chu family stood at the door and brought in the guests who came to congratulate the old lady on her birthday, and when they met the distinguished guests, Chu Ze and Chu Hao would greet each other in person.

Of course, there is nothing Chu Yun to do to welcome guests, and within a few days of his first arrival, none of the guests know him, and he sat far away, watching the guests come and go with some boredom.

It was not until today that I found out why the Chu family and the Duke of the First Dynasty were so incompatible, and they were able to be stable in the capital for so many years, in just one hour, two people from the Kingdom sent gifts, although they were not in person, but at least the attitude has been shown.

As for the other large and small families, they are even more numerous, and they have long heard that the water in the capital is very deep, and the relationship between the powerful families is complicated, and the kind of family with many years of inheritance, even if there is no successor, it is not so easy to be overthrown.

The little fat man Chu Chengcai rarely didn't eat the snacks violently, hiding in a no-man's corner next to Chu Yun, shaking his head, and saying something in his mouth, and a few bear children who were looking for him to play were all sent away by him.

Yan Chuchu was not beside Chu Yun, she had the grace of the old lady, and after she brought mahjong to Chu Mansion, the ladies and ladies who had nothing to do all day long went crazy.

The capital seems to be the blessed land of Yan Chuchu, who won a pair of bracelets today, and a jade hairpin tomorrow, and rewarded the maid sent by the old lady to serve her if she didn't like it, and in just a few days, she became the most willing master of the maid of Chufu.

I heard that through the hands of my sister-in-law, mahjong has begun to spread in the circle of noblewomen in the capital, taking advantage of this opportunity, several craftsmen in Chu Mansion have made a lot of money, of course, compared with the money made by Yan Chuchu, it can only be regarded as a drizzle.

Yan Chuchu doesn't seem to plan to go back at all now, every day is leisurely, there is a lot of silver in the account, Chu Yun is very anxious, and in two days he will tell the old lady that his vacation is over, and it is time to leave for Sujiang Mansion, after all, no matter how young the county lieutenant is, he is also an official, and he is taking the country's money, and it is not advisable to eat empty salaries.

Not far away, Chu Ze just welcomed a person in, confessed twice, and left in a hurry.

The man in brocade looked around, and when his gaze swept somewhere, his expression was stunned, and then he strode over.

"It's over~, big brother~, I forgot again~." The little fat man walked over dejectedly and sat beside Chu Yun, his round face turned into a bitter gourd face.

Chu Yun couldn't help with this, out of the spirit of humanitarianism, he helped the little fat man find a suitable poem, and when it was time for him to dedicate it to the old lady, coaxing the old man to be happy, how could he expect that he had memorized four simple poems for a long time and hadn't memorized them, so he couldn't even help him memorize the poems, and the next thing could only rely on himself.

"Or~, you might as well take out your treasured preserves~." Chu Yun suggested and said.

In case you really can't memorize it at that time, there are things that can be taken out, so it won't be too embarrassing.

"No~, I'll recite it for a while, and it's almost a little bit~." The little fat man said a word without admitting defeat, and soon squatted in the corner next to him and chattered.

"It's really you~!" A surprised voice came from the side, Chu Yun turned his head to look, and saw a middle-aged man in a brocade robe walking towards him.

"Aren't you in Sujiang Mansion~, how did you come to the capital~?" The man sat directly opposite Chu Yun and said unexpectedly.

"Are you the one who stole the plaque ------~?" The middle-aged man was a little familiar, and when Chu Yun thought about it slightly, he recalled the identity of the other party.

"What a plaque~!" The middle-aged man patted the table and said.

"Isn't it stealing without telling it~?" Chu Yun replied lightly, but in his heart he was recalling what Governor Dong said to him that day, the other party was a high-ranking official in the capital, it seemed to be some kind of waiter in the ministry, there were two waiters in the ministry, one of them was Chu Ze, that is, his second uncle, and the adult in front of him should be the right servant of the ministry.

Thinking about it this way, it is not surprising that he came to attend the old lady's birthday banquet.

"Didn't I tell you when I took it~?" Lord Shilang opened his mouth with confidence, but Chu Yun was speechless.

Well~! That's really not stealing, it's robbing~.

"Why are you in the Chu family, oh~, by the way, you are also surnamed Chu, is it a distant relative of the Chu family, who came to congratulate the old lady on her birthday~? It's not right~, I haven't heard of any distant relatives of the Chu family in Sujiang Mansion~? The middle-aged man obviously didn't want to entangle with Chu Yun on the question of whether to steal or rob, looked at him twice, and asked with some confusion.

"Sujiang Mansion~, Sujiang Mansion~, your name is Chu Yun------" looked at Chu Yun again, and the middle-aged man suddenly came to his senses, with a look of surprise on his face.

"You are Chu Han's son~!"

"I didn't expect it~, I really didn't expect it~, Chu Han actually has a son like you~." The look of surprise on Yan Yuan's face was even stronger, and he said with a sigh in his mouth.

Su Jiangfu and his party, the young man in front of him left a deep impression on him.

Not only because of his amazing attainments in calligraphy and painting, but after that day, driven by curiosity, I also learned more about him from my old friend Dong Zhao.

The author of the hand-me-down precepts, the poetry is ancient and modern, a sentence of "when is the bright moon", made countless literati blush, reform the law of torture, of course, Yan Yuan himself is still the most fond of his calligraphy, the three words on the plaque, copied day and night, and now can have eight or nine points of charm.

The last time I was in the way of face, I didn't ask Chu Yun for advice, and after returning to Beijing, I regretted my good face in my heart.

Being able to meet him again in the Chu family was really beyond Yan Yuan's expectations, and his heart was itching, and when he caught a glimpse of the wine glass on the table, his eyes lit up, he poured some wine inside, wrote three words on the table with his fingers.

He glanced up at Chu Yun and asked, "How~?" ”

Chu Yun lowered his head, and the three words "Chu County Lieutenant" on the table, which had not yet dried up, were written in a chic and elegant manner, faintly with Yan Zhenqing's regular script style.

Based on these three words alone, it can be seen that the calligraphy of this Yan Shilang can be regarded as entering the house.

"So-so~." Chu Yun gave a very pertinent evaluation.

Yan Zhenqing's name is inseparable from decades of hard work, just copy the three words for a few days, you can learn half of the charm, the description of "so-so" is already a great praise.

Of course, Yan Yuan understands this, the more times he copies those three words, the more clear he is about the gap between him and the person who writes, and he will not use age to measure whether the young man in front of him is qualified to say this.

However, Yan Yuan understands, but it doesn't mean that everyone understands.

"So-so~? You are arrogant in this later life, although Yan Yuan's words are not on the table, they are not something you can appreciate~. A voice came from the side, and an elegant man said as he looked at the words on the table.

The elegant man turned around the table with his hands behind his back, and said strangely: "Tsk, I haven't seen you for many days, Brother Yan's regular script is getting more and more refined, could it be that he stole the plaque of a famous family again, and he has been studying hard these days~?" ”

Yan Yuan looked displeased, what does it mean that his words are not on the table, although this guy on the other side is from a scholarly family, but the calligraphy of the Chu family is the old man Chu and not him Chu Zimu, what kind of pride is it~?

"Chu Shikai is in the book, he can be called the first person in the Xia Kingdom, compared with his old man, Yan's words are naturally not on the table, Chu Shaojian is deeply rooted in the true biography of Chu Shi, and Yan is naturally not as good as Chu Shaojian~." Yan Yuan sneered.

He was once instructed by Chu Zimu's father, because he called him Master Chu.

His words were praise on the surface, but the secret meaning was to ridicule the other party who could only fight for his father, and he didn't have any real talent and learning.

Although the two are world friends, they usually have a good relationship, but whenever they talk about what they are good at, they always have to mock each other.

Chu Zimu looked at it with his hands behind his back for a while, until the handwriting on the table became blurry, then nodded and said: "Strange~, strange~, I haven't seen you for a few days, you have actually made such a big progress, could it be that you really got the guidance of a master, or did you find a famous post~?" ”

Yan Yuan tugged at the corners of his mouth and said: "Let's not talk about this for the time being, you keep saying that this offspring is arrogant, it is better to compare it with this arrogant offspring, you are also good at regular script, so you will write a few words on this table with your fingers to see who the arrogant is~?" ”

Chu Zimu shook his head and said, "It's almost the same as you, with him~?" If people know, they will definitely say that I, Chu Zimu, bullied the younger generations~. ”

"Xiping Stone Scripture~." Yan Yuan looked at him and said, "After comparison, if you think you write better, I will send you the "Xiping Stone Scripture." If you lose, don't blame me for going to dismantle the plaque in Chu Mansion tonight~. ”

Chu Zimu's eyes lit up violently, and he said unconvincedly: "What are you talking about is the original post of "Xiping Stone Scripture"~? This thing is really there for you~! ”

"Xiping Stone Scripture" is the creator of the flying white body, the representative work of Cai Yong of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the original post is very valuable for collection and research, if you can get it is naturally a blessing, as for the plaque of Chu Fu, he has not worried at all, his calligraphy attainments are not a big achievement, but it can also be described as a small success, how can it be lost to a young offspring who has not dried up~?

Even if he has been practicing since his mother's womb, it is impossible to beat himself.

"How is it~, do you dare~?" Yan Yuan looked at him and asked with a smile.

"Why don't you dare~?" Chu Zimu laughed and said, "It's rare for you to be so generous, how can I sweep Brother Yan's Yaxing~?" ”

After that, he dipped his fingers in the wine, and in a moment, four big characters appeared on the table, "Fu is like the East China Sea", which was strong and handsome.

Writing with your fingers dipped in wine can have such an effect, and ordinary people are afraid that they are far from using a brush, and Chu Zimu's calligraphy attainments can be seen.

"Hurry~, it's your turn~." Yan Yuan didn't look at Chu Zimu's handwriting at all, a treacherous smile appeared on his face, and he had already planned how to remove the plaque of the Chu family at night, and hurriedly urged Chu Yundao.

Chu Zimu wants his "Xiping Stone Scripture", it is simply a dream, and it is almost the same to change the old man Chu. Even if Old Man Chu is there in person, Yan Yuan is seventy percent sure that he can win.

Seeing Yan Yuan's expression, Chu Zimu chuckled in his heart, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Yan Yuan is not a fool, "Xiping Stone Scripture" must be an extremely important thing to himself, how can he give it away in vain~?

Could it be that he really has the certainty of victory~?

Turning his head to look at the young junior again, Chu Zimu shook his head and suppressed this unrealistic idea.

"I'm not interested~." Chu Yun glanced at the words on the table, shook his head and said.

What "Xiping Stone Scripture", what is the plaque of the Chu family, what does it have to do with him, this Yan Shilang is a good abacus, this is using himself as a prop----- are you very familiar with the two of them~?

Tearing down someone's plaque is tantamount to slapping ...... face.

The expression on Yan Yuan's face froze, and he hurriedly grabbed his arm and said, "Count me as owing you a favor~!" ”

The last time Chu Yunxin grabbed the plaque, he already owed his favor, and he didn't take it seriously, it was obvious that the favor of this squire was not valuable.

However, Chu Yun didn't want to be so entangled by him, so he dipped some wine in his hand and drew two words on the table, preparing to leave this place of right and wrong, so that the two of them could catch up on the past.

"Haha~, is this what you rely on~?"

Seeing the scribbled handwriting on the table, Chu Zimu was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, patted Yan Yuan's shoulder, and said: "Brother Yan~, early tomorrow morning, I will ask someone to go to the house to pick up the "Xiping Stone Scripture"~." ”

Unexpectedly, Chu Yun didn't give him face at all, Yan Yuan was a little anxious, and grabbed his arm tightly, "Write seriously~, if you win, you can make a request to me, as long as it doesn't ...... too much." ”

"Stop~, Yan Xiaoer, what are you doing~!" Just as Yan Yuan was pressing Chu Yun's arm and shaking it violently, a coquettish voice suddenly came from not far away~!
