Chapter 562: Huixian Mansion (2)
Zhang Youke didn't care what everyone thought, took a sip of tea, and said to himself: "This is a few months, exactly August 15, this owner is a man, there are many guests in the house, full of friends, according to reason, he should sit in the chief of Mr. Xixi, but the owner of the house does not know whether he deliberately or forgot, he did not invite him, or his students can't stand it, to the small courtyard where he lives, he is also a real person, 1510 will tell the situation." This Gongyuan was still puzzled, and immediately said: "Well, since Father Er's forgot to ask for a teacher, then the teacher had to rush to ......"
"This man really has a character!" Wang Shizhen interjected with a smile.
Zhang You nodded: "Who said no, as a result, the old and the young went straight to the banquet, as soon as they appeared, the master of the family also felt rude, and hurriedly asked him to sit on the chief with false affection, thinking that the seats were full of officials and rich gentry, he would definitely not dare, and then the face would be complete. Well, the guests here were not happy, and they all thought that this old man was really thick-skinned, and let him sit really down, and then someone asked him in a weird way: 'The old gentleman has never sat in the chief in his life, right?' The duke was not annoyed, but stretched out five fingers and said, "Not much, just five times." As he spoke, he curled up his four fingers: "For the first time, my sister got married, and I was a relative and was arranged as the chief." The people present nodded, and some people smiled and said, "This is a little old man, and he should be the chief seater." ’
This man stretched out another finger and said, "The second time, during the township examination, I was the top performer, and I was respected by my classmates to the top position. ’
By the time he said this, the people present had already changed their colors and their expressions were different. Unmoved, he continued: "The third time was the palace exam, and I won the first prize again. As for the fourth time, it was a few years ago when I returned to my hometown, and now I remember my many years of credit, specially set up a banquet to practice, and arranged me to be the chief ...... Counting this time, no more, no less, exactly five times! ’
At this point, everyone present had already guessed his identity, and no one dared to sit anymore, and the black press knelt on the ground, but this man had already stood up and left with his sleeves brushed up! ”
Speaking of this, Zhang You finally stopped, looked at Xu Bangrui with a smile, and suddenly asked, "Do you know what is the benefit of being low-key?" Without waiting for the other party to answer, he said to himself: "It's a low-key person, and he can be high-profile at any time." There is also a saying, called 'people can't look good, the sea can't fight', Brother Xu don't think I'm young, Cao Chong is called an elephant at the age of six, and Gan Luo is a nine-year-old minister, compared to them, I am old, everyone says right? ”
This passage and the previous story can be described as a hidden needle, everyone finally understood Zhang You's intentions, it was simply the tip of the needle against Mai Mang, Wang Shizhen didn't want to make too much trouble, and hurriedly smiled and played a round: "Lord Zhang, what do you mean by us old-fashioned lumps?" Just like the story you just told, heroes don't ask young and old, young and young, and there is a saying that old age is stronger, right? ”
So everyone snorted and removed the topic.
At this point, Chen Yongnian's heart finally let go, and he sweated when he talked about Mr. Teaching just now. But after thinking about it, although Zhang You's story did not explicitly refer to himself, why wasn't he the master of that force? I regretted it more and more, and I made up my mind that I must be better to my uncle in the future.
"I heard that the adults are interested in looking for a collaborator for the Daming Silver Number, I don't know how to make a charter? I'm interested in being a brother. After a few more jokes, Xu Bangrui took the initiative to lead the topic to the topic, and as soon as the words fell, the room was silent.
The people outside always paid attention to the movement in the house, and some of them heard it clearly, and even the outside was quiet.
Dozens of tables of guests were silent, the scene was very weird, and one guy had an itchy throat and wanted to cough, so he poured a big sip of herbal tea and suppressed the cough.
So, Zhang You's voice was able to spread farther: "Brother Xu is also interested, it's really an honor for the little brother, okay, since Brother Xu mentioned it, then the little brother will talk about it, there are no complicated conditions, the semicolon is only set to the house for the time being, everyone here can participate, whoever has the best conditions, Daming Silver will cooperate with whoever opens the semicolon." Well, now that I have negotiated with the Shen family in Shaoxing Mansion, I can remove the remaining state capitals, let's start with Hangzhou, and after everyone goes back, think about what conditions can be written and sealed, starting tomorrow, give everyone a day, send it to Jiangnan Newspaper, and finally I will look at it one by one and choose the winner. The rest of the provinces are handled according to Hangzhou, as for the time and place, find the Hangzhou Mansion Daming Silver No. Semicolon collaborator and then decide! ”
It's as simple as that?
This is the initial reaction of most people, but after thinking about it in detail, they don't think so, although this method is simple, it is forcing the united Jiangnan merchants to start infighting.
What, you said it could be discussed in advance? Who dares to guarantee that some people will not change the hexagram when the delivery conditions are made?
That's a huge benefit.
For a moment, people looked at each other, with different expressions, and fell into deep thought.
"My lord is a good means, this trick is really clever, I admire my brother, I admire it so much, according to your charter, I'm afraid that even our Wei family doesn't have priority, right?" Xu Bangrui said, secretly a little frightened, and said that no wonder his father kept reminding him that he must be careful of this kid, this trick is simplified, and the upright conspiracy is upright, but it suddenly messes up people's hearts, and it is extremely powerful.
"Well, Brother Xu praised it, adhering to the principle of fairness and justice, that, even if you are the Duke of Wei, you have no priority." Zhang You said with some embarrassment.
"That's fine, it's fair." Xu Bangrui said with a big belly, then got up and smiled: "It's not too early, for my brother here, I wish the adults a victory, and go first." ”
As he spoke, he lifted his feet and walked without stopping.
Zhang You got up, but he didn't move, only arched his hand: "Brother Xu walks slowly, and the younger brother will not be far away." ”
Not long after Xu Bangrui left, Wei Yunzhen also found an excuse to leave, followed by Xu Dengying, Xu Bin, and Zheng Kuan...... Chen Yongnian hesitated for a long time, but he didn't get up in the end, and stayed with him until the end.
When Zhang You and the remaining Wang Shizhen and others left the Huixian Building, most of the guests had already left, and when they got out of the Huixian Building, they said goodbye to the remaining people one by one, Wang Shizhen got into his sedan chair without saying hello, and when he also got on the sedan chair, he said: "Zicheng, your hand is amazing, I'm afraid it's hit on seven inches, the old man feels that our prince of Wei seems to be a little messed up." ”
"It's just a little trick to carve insects." Zhang You said with some trepidation.
Wang Shizhen smiled: "Don't be too complacent, Wei Guogong is still a little worse, Xu Ge is a powerful person, and he will definitely not sit still......"
Before the words fell, the sound of horses' hooves was heard from a distance, and someone shouted: "Lord Zhang, is Lord Zhang the commander of the Jinyi Guard here?" The voice was very anxious, and the two of them were startled at the same time, what happened?
