Chapter 80: The Wood Shows in the Forest
"Ahem! Brother Chu, you don't care about them, you shouldn't look at these things that have never seen the world! ”
Chu Feng smiled when he heard this: "Brother Liu, please rest assured, everyone is just curious, feel free to take a look, I don't have meat on my body, it's okay." ”
Liu Zhengqing glanced at Chu Feng, and saw that his figure was indeed frank, and his words were not said by force, so he couldn't help but nodded admiringly: "If I were you, I would inevitably be on pins and needles at this time, I am not as good as you." ”
Chu Feng shook his head with a smile.
"Chu Langjun, I look at it from a distance and feel like it, it's really you. Congratulations, congratulations! ”
At this time, Lu Lin had just boarded the ship and was led here. He saw Chu Feng at a glance and hurriedly stepped forward to congratulate him.
"Brother Lu is well." Chu Feng responded with a smile, gave a gift, and introduced Liu Zhengqing beside him, "Brother Liu, this one is my roommate Lu Lin when I was copying, and the regular script is just and powerful, so I might as well do it." He also introduced to Lu Lin, "This Liu Zhengqing, a good friend in the next, is one of the township exams on this list." ”
"It turned out to be Brother Liu, who has been admired for a long time." Lu Lin hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said with a wry smile: "Why does Brother Chu still praise my calligraphy?" Where do you dare to compare with Brother Chu, it's really ashamed. Brother Chu and this Brother Liu are friends, and now they are on the same list, which is gratifying. ”
Chu Feng shook his head with a smile: "He is a serious candidate of eight hundred, I am just an inexplicable number of fate, which cannot be compared." ”
"Brother Chu's words are really too humble......"
Similar conversations, starting here, happened many times.
The people who knew Chu Feng, that is, those who were the examination staff in the examination garden at the beginning, would all attend this banquet.
Their attendance is naturally not as beautiful as that of the Zhongdi scholars, but after all, they have made a contribution to the court and the township, and it is reasonable to abandon their existence at this time.
After the township test, the banquet in the West Lake, this is a model for local officials to have fun with the people, if there are only the middle scholars, it is too small, and it is not interesting.
In this way, there are seventeen scholars in the middle rank, plus more than a dozen behind-the-scenes participants like Lu Lin, plus three adults, and the number of people in the entire banquet is about thirty-five.
The lanterns and colorful plates are paved, and the silk and bamboo cups are ready for wine, and in such a bright moonlit night, it is also a lively and bright scene.
Chu Feng has never participated in the banquet of this era, but he has seen "Han Xizai's Night Banquet", and he has seen the obscure voice and the indulgent liveliness of the guests in the picture scroll, and at this time, he really felt it on the spot, and he felt even more good.
Seeing that there are many subordinates and servants coming and going silently, lightly arranging all kinds of things, and purchasing all kinds of people's needs. They quietly shuttled among the guests, occasionally speaking, listening to the whispers, like a spring breeze, not disturbing, at a glance you knew that they were well-trained, better than the service staff of the later generations of high-end hotels.
While Liu Zhengqing was talking and laughing with others, he saw Chu Feng's gaze, and explained in a low voice with a smile: "These are all servants brought by the adult's family, I look at a few familiar ones, it should be arranged by Lord Zhizhou from home, which is also a custom." If these boats are rented directly, the owner of the boat can also directly arrange servants, but there are also many people who are afraid that they will not be easy to use and do not know their own rules, so they let their own subordinates serve, which is also very common. ”
Chu Feng had some understanding when he heard this, and he couldn't complain that these people were so well-trained, and they didn't have much awe for the people in the audience, and they turned out to be people who had seen some of the world.
"You don't have to worry, just follow me all the time." Liu Zhengqing said in a low voice, "I've been involved in this kind of thing a few times, I probably know the rules and something, you follow me, and you won't make a mistake for a while." ”
Liu Zhengqing squeezed his eyes at Chu Feng, and said: "The adults won't criticize too much tonight, how many of them are participating in this type of banquet for the first time, I'm afraid there will be a lot of ugliness and indecency, don't care." ”
Chu Feng actually didn't think of this, but at this time, listening to Liu Zhengqing's words, he nodded with a smile and replied, "Okay".
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
Chu Feng knew that he was not a showman, but because of Lord Liu, he really attracted the attention of too many people at this time. I am afraid that among these people, there are thousands of thoughts, and they are not enough. There are jealousies, incomprehensions, resentment, envy, and even feeling that it is profitable, and flattery.
Chu Feng can probably understand this mood, which is similar to people in later generations commenting on the rights and wrongs of celebrities on Weibo. Some people are brainless fans, and they have to stand up for whatever happens. Some people are the opposite, no matter what, they want to dig into the dark side behind the celebrity. In fact, to be honest, there is no essential difference between the two, just simply seeking a channel for inner expression.
Of course, Chu Feng will not reach the height of those celebrities in later generations, and the so-called "celebrities" he is now just on this painting boat, which is a little too attractive to the attention of others.
The warmth of everyone to each other continues.
Chu Feng helped Liu Zhengqing introduce all kinds of characters in the examination garden, such as fame, transcription, etc., as well as Wang Ji, who treated Chu Feng more enthusiastically at this time.
Liu Zhengqing helped Chu Feng introduce some scholars on the same list, after all, he was a person who had been in the scholarly circle for a long time, and in addition to the two of them, there were only five people Liu Zhengqing didn't know. And these other five people gradually became aware of them after the cross-introduction of others.
The silk and bamboo are not prosperous, the lights are bright, the wine and food are fragrant, just waiting for the distinguished guests.
Dressed in a long shirt with green sleeves, it is elegant, and the people who come and go are also, looking at it from a distance, there is a bit of pedantic but elegant taste of the book.
Lean peeked at it from afar for a long time, grinned, and ran back to the room to find his sister Qin.
"Sister Qin, I saw Wang Langjun and Zhao Langjun. That's a lot of people! It's so lively! He closed the door behind him and said with a grin.
Qin Cao was bored, took a book in the guest room and read it leisurely, and then responded lightly: "The two Lang Jun are the first people in the middle this time, and they just ordered you to send someone to send a congratulatory post yesterday, so what is so strange to see at this time?" What a fuss. ”
"It's fun!" Layer Luan laughed and said, "Zhao Langjun is really powerful, he only won the township test at the age of fourteen, I think he is not in the same size, but in those people, he will not lose!" ”
Layer Luan took a handful of melon seeds and ate them, and said casually: "By the way, Sister Qin, have you ever heard of a person named Chu Feng?" ”
