Chapter Eighty-Five: The Drunkard Building
If you have to define Chen Yu's return to his hometown this time, the word embarrassment may be more appropriate. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
A big red champion robe was blown up like a sieve, so he had nothing to do, and he tossed half a salary before entering the Chen Mansion, where is this champion Lang, more like a flower child.
When Chen Dafu saw Chen Yu's embarrassed appearance, he immediately straightened his face and said to Chen Yu: "What kind of body is it to wear such tattered clothes?" ”
"Don't mention it, I don't know which king and eight calves threw a cannon into my sedan chair." Chen Yu said angrily: "Dad, I'll go back to the room first and change my clothes." ”
"Yes." Chen Dafu put his hands behind his back, looked at Chen Yu's back, and said to himself: "It's still my precious son from before." ”
Suddenly remembering something, his face began to twitch: "Grandma's, little Wang Ba Lizi, dare to scold Lao Tzu for being Wang Ba Lizi......"
Chen Dafu didn't realize that when he scolded Chen Yu for being the little Wang Ba calf, he invisibly admitted that he was the Wang Ba calf, so Chen Yu said that he was the Wang Ba calf, and there was indeed nothing wrong with Chen Yu saying that he was the king eight calves.
Chen Yu returned to the room and changed into the silk prepared by Chen Dafu, and now he can finally wear silk openly, without putting a layer of coarse linen on his coat as a cover.
After tidying himself up, he slowly went out of the door, the courtyard was already full of people, I heard that these are the local gentry to congratulate, of course, everyone will prepare a "thin gift".
It is also thanks to the fact that the courtyard of the Chen family is large enough, so that it can accommodate so many people, in addition to the squires, there are also some people and talents, most of whom came to learn from Chen Yu.
Although everyone's purpose is different, the goal is the same, and they are all Chen Yu.
Many of them are partners in the shopping mall with Chen Dafu, and they have begged for a long time before Chen Dafu agreed to them, and he should have agreed to their conditions for Chen Yu.
So when Chen Yu came out, those businessmen gave Chen Dafu a look intentionally or unintentionally, meaning you hurry up, we are all waiting.
In the crowd, Chen Dafu came to Chen Yu's side with his hands behind his back and said to him: "Tingyu, this, many people have heard the true biography of Tang Bohu, and they want you to mention two for them, and my father has already agreed." ”
After Chen Dafu finished speaking, two rich men asked their subordinates to carry a vermilion sandalwood table and chair in the center of the courtyard, and very neatly placed the four treasures of the study such as rice paper, Hu pen, Hui ink, and She inkstone.
Needless to say, this Chen Dafu must have received some benefits from others, Chen Yu said helplessly: "Dad, can you not ...... in the future?"
Chen Yu hadn't finished speaking, but when he saw Chen Dafu's murderous eyes, he quickly shut up, and in desperation, he wrote with a stroke of his pen.
According to the original meaning of the businessmen, write something "financial resources" and "financial resources rolling" and the like, but in this atmosphere, how can there be a face to write these things, naturally Chen Yu writes what they want, and then hang it in front of the main hall, worship as a fairy, and say that the descendants will also produce a champion or something, and if you can't get out, you can also use this painting to inspiration!
Chen Yu's characters are indeed very good-looking, whether it is regular script, official script, or cursive script, they are all written with great charm, which makes those talents and people addicted.
Of course, Chen Yu's words naturally can't be written too much, if you come too much, it's not worth much, and secondly, people are tired!
After writing about ten or so paintings, Chen Yu stopped abruptly, making those who did not get Chen Yu's words sigh.
The dinner was held by the Chen family, and the township test was the same, but the people invited this time were all people with heads and faces, for which the Chen family also suffered from the eyes of the villagers, saying that the Chen family disliked the poor and loved the rich, but on the second day, the Chen family set up a banquet and entertained the neighbors, so that those who complained in their hearts were ashamed and praised instead.
Sometimes people are like this, unilaterally thinking that those things that should not belong to you should be given to you, and when others don't give them, there will only be slander, which may be the so-called jealousy.
Chen Dafu has been floating in the mall many times, how can he not understand this kind of heart, but Chen Yu has not been at the banquet for the past two days.
The officials of Hangzhou Mansion are no less than the neighbors around Qiantang County, and Chen Yu is busy enough just to entertain, so tonight he took two small officials equipped by the imperial court for him Chen Zhuangyuanlang, and came to the famous restaurant "Drunkard Building" in Hangzhou Mansion for a banquet.
Today's banquet is very grand, gathering all kinds of high-ranking officials such as the political envoy of Hangzhou, the envoy of the press, the commander of the envoy, the imperial history, the fuxue, the prefect, the eunuch and so on.
Drunkard building is close to the West Lake, the front of the door is red and green, drunk gold fans, it is said that it is because of the former Ouyang everyone to visit the West Lake, attracted by the beautiful scenery, and so on after the building, drunk, waved to the restaurant to nominate the drunkard building.
The scenery here is unique, especially after going up to the fourth floor, there is a feeling of "falling glow and lonely birds flying together".
Today's banquet is set on the fifth floor, the drunkard building has a total of six floors, the sixth floor is not booked, it is said that this floor is Ouyang everyone at that time in the upstairs to rest, in order not to disturb people, deliberately mentioned a pair of unparalleled pairs, can face the person can enter.
Of course, whether Ouyang Xiu has ever been to this restaurant, and whether this couplet is produced by Ouyang Xiu is still to be examined, because Chen Yu even thinks that this is like a businessman's marketing method, setting up a gimmick to make people spend a lot of money upstairs.
The price of meals in this kind of building is increased in square increments, the first floor is very cheap, you can only charge three taels, to the second floor will be charged nine taels, the third floor is twenty-seven taels, the fourth floor is eighty-one taels, the fifth floor is two hundred and eighty-four taels, of course, the sixth floor does not need money, provided that the pair is paired.
Chen Yu secretly admired this marketing method.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant is a very discerning person, of course, he can open such a restaurant in this kind of place, it will not work without eyesight, when he saw Chen Yu, he knew that this kid was extraordinary, so he asked: "How many floors are the guest officer?" ”
"Five floors!" Chen Yu smiled with his hands behind his back.
The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed and said: "It may not be done today, it's not that you can't afford to pay for it, it's that the fifth floor has been wrapped." ”
The store was afraid that Chen Yu would misunderstand, and people like them would not offend people, so they took a preventive shot with Chen Yu in advance.
"Who is so arrogant?" Chen Yu laughed and said, "This charter must be very expensive, right?" ”
Especially in this golden hour of the night, this is the best time for the restaurant business, and it is the best time to enjoy the night view of the West Lake.
"That's the number." The shopkeeper smiled and stretched out a finger and said, "One thousand taels." ”
"It looks like the store is going to make a lot of money today." Chen Yu said with a smile.
"It's not, they're all corrupt officials anyway, how can a clean official take out so much money?" The shopkeeper said, "I'm still a eunuch." ”
While the two were talking, a person came down from upstairs, this person was burly, it was Lord Bai Hongbai, who had been promoted to the commander of the capital of Beiwu, he knew Chen Yu, although he only had a one-sided relationship, but he already deeply remembered the young man beside the prince.
Bai Hong said kindly: "Tingyu, why are you here now?" ”
This person Chen Yu also had a relationship, but he couldn't name it, Bai Hong saw Chen Yu's embarrassment, and hurriedly introduced himself: "The governor is preparing to command Bai Hong." ”
"It turned out to be Lord Bai, and the lower officials have seen the adults!" Chen Yu hurriedly saluted.
It's just that Chen Yu was a little surprised, he didn't know this person, but how did this person recognize me?
This is the comparison between a young politician and a veteran politician, Bai Hong's ability to be the commander of the governor is by no means by luck, and he has the ability to stand out among the two fellow intellectuals (and one is named Huang Hua)!
"I can't do it." Bai Hong said: "Champion Lang is too polite, I am afraid that others will not know Champion Lang, so I came down to look for it, and it was really blocked at the door." ”
When the shopkeeper heard the conversation between the two, his lips trembled with fright, and he asked Chen Yu tremblingly, "You...... You are...... Chen Zhuangyuan? ”
Chen Yu smiled kindly: "It's like a fake!" ”
After hearing this, the shopkeeper almost didn't sit on the ground, and hurriedly apologized: "The villain has eyes and doesn't know Taishan......"
"It's okay, I'm going up now, right?" Chen Yu said with a smile.
"Nature, nature." The shop said.
Chen Yu and Bai Hong went up to the fifth floor one after the other, the windows around the fifth floor were all wide open, today's weather was extremely hot and dry, and a fresh lake breeze blew, not to mention how comfortable it was.
There is an octagonal table in the center of the building, the table is already full of people, and the seat in the right seat is naturally Wang Jing, and there is an empty seat, presumably reserved for Chen Yu.
Because Chen Yu is the only one from Hanlin Academy!
What made Chen Yu strange was that the eunuch guarding the town actually brought a woman beside him, although he only saw the back, but Chen Yu also knew who it was.
Bai Hong led Chen Yu to the table and said to Chen Yu, "Lord Chen sit down." ”
Chen Yu waved his hand: "With the teacher here, how dare you take a seat?" He waved his hand and asked Chen Yu to sit down.
Chen Yuyang pretended to shirk it, and he was not polite, what civil officials pay attention to is a courtesy, Chen Yu has no problem doing this, if Chen Yu does not agree, it will make Chen Yu unable to come to the stage.
What is the unspoken rule, that is, although Chen Yu's identity is not as noble as Chen Yu.
At this time, Chen Yu saw Fang Xiaomei sitting next to Eunuch Mai, she was talking to Mai Xiu with her head down, and she seemed to be very affectionate.
Chen Yu sighed, this girl was simply practicing herself, and after Chen Yu sat down, Fang Xiaomei dared to glance at Chen Yu unintentionally.
Chen Yu knew that this Fang Xiaomei would definitely be ridiculed by everyone who was doing it today, why bother, what did she do with a eunuch? What are you doing here today? Do you only increase your laughter?
But none of this matters to him, anyway, he has nothing to do with Fang Xiaomei.
