Chapter 143: Lantian Sun Warm Jade Smoke (I)
The next day.
At noon, Liu Xingyi and others came to the party as scheduled.
Before entering the door, Wang Shicong raised his voice and took the lead, "I said Boss Wu, blow the plaque of Shuiju well, how can you take it off and replace it with such a strange signboard?"
Wu Materia Medica has not opened today, but knowing that they will come, he replied: "My sister's name is Wu Xiaoai, my name is Wu Materia Medica, each takes the last word, and it is wormwood when connected, which has the implication of driving away poison and warding off evil spirits." ”
Saying this, he felt slightly bitter in his heart, Xiao Ai's name itself warded off evil spirits, but unfortunately he was possessed by demons, and it was really superstitious that it was not advisable.
Liu Xingyi was generous, bowed like a man, and said with a smile: "I came to taste Boss Wu's craftsmanship today." As for the bet I made yesterday, I lost, so I will pay for the meal today, and I don't need you to treat you. ”
When eating hot pot yesterday, they had agreed that this morning Chaotian Palace unveiled the plaque, if it was really as Wu Bencao predicted, the dust settled, Taixue and Wu Ansi gave up part of the source of life in exchange for the release of the British king, then they would give up, otherwise, Wu Bencao would have to treat him.
At this moment, hearing her say this, it is obvious that Wu Bencao is like a god, and he is right.
Wu Bencao smiled, he had the heart to make friends with them, how could he care about the money for this meal, glanced at them, and asked, "Why don't you see Brother Xie Chang?"
It was Liu Wang Chen Fan who came, and Xie Chang was absent.
Chen Songzhi's expression was slightly different, and he said playfully: "People want to be a high apprentice of the Academy, from now on, we are afraid that we will not be able to climb high......"
Wu Bencao heard the deep meaning and invited them into the private room, "What's the matter, Xie Chang was poached by Chaotian Palace?"
After Wang Shicong sat down, he said helplessly: "Yesterday, I wanted to introduce you one by one, but I was interrupted by Brother Yi." Among the five of us, Xie Chang is the one with the most prosperous family. His father Xie Kaizhi is the Duke of Lu Guo, hereditary repudiation, otherwise we would be afraid of him?"
To put it bluntly, the aristocratic circle is actually very simple, and the comparison is the background status.
Whoever has a strong family background and is superior to others, who is the core of the circle, and everyone is the only one who looks ahead. The upper class aristocracy is the most snobbish, even if the individual talent is excellent, if you want to integrate into the aristocratic circle, you must abide by this unspoken rule and obediently flatter and please.
Therefore, before Wu Bencao appeared, Chen Fan and others were Xie Chang's followers.
And yesterday, the reason why Wu Bencao was able to steal Xie Chang's limelight and be welcomed by everyone was of course because he was kind to people and made people feel like a spring breeze, but the core factor was that he proved his background by saying information that even Xie Chang couldn't get.
It is a reality that people are divided into groups and have different statuses, so they cannot be mixed together.
Wu Bencao thought thoughtfully, "So, Chaotian Palace asked Xie Chang by name to come over, did he want to pull Lu Guogong onto the martial family's boat? Xie Chang didn't come over with him today, so it was clear that he wanted to draw a line with us?"
He didn't expect Xie Chang's attitude to be so resolute, playing big and small together, and turning his face and denying it in a blink of an eye.
Fan Dongliu sighed and said disappointedly: "Every family has its own abacus, in the final analysis, he is not with us, and sooner or later he will part ways." There is a large list of lists issued by Chaotian Palace, and there are still many people who refuse the invitation and continue to stay in Taixue and Wu'an Division?"
Chen Songzhi thought so, "If people want to leave, you can't stay." If you don't want to leave, just like our brother Yi, who refuses the invitation on the spot, who can do anything to her? Even if the Chaotian Palace was built by His Majesty's decree, can she still force people to enter?"
When Wu Bencao heard this, he was surprised and said, "Why, Brother Yi refuses to join Chaotian Palace?"
If he remembers correctly, these people said yesterday that Liu Xingyi's sister has been in love with the son of the Lan family for many years, and the outside world knows it. It stands to reason that with this relationship, even if the two families have not yet decided to be married, they should be relatively close and not turn against each other.
But now, the Lan family is in charge of Chaotian Palace, but Liu Xingyi refuses to join, what's going on?
Liu Xingyi sat beside Wu Bencao, frowning, his face full of trouble, "Alas, this matter is very complicated. My own intentions, you are clear, and I am definitely reluctant to leave Taixue. But the reason why he refused in the morning was actually the family's decision. ”
Liu Xingyi's father, who served as a squire in the military department, was in the fourth rank of the official residence, and when he talked about it in detail, he was by no means in power, and he was a very popular minister. At least, in the eyes of the hundred-year-old Lan family, the Liu family is a small family, and the background is far behind, and it can't be compared with them.
Liu Xingyi continued: "My father was an official and never participated in party struggles, so he didn't have any position before. But this time, the Lan family was in charge of Chaotian Palace and got on the ship of the martial arts, and my father was afraid of delaying my sister's lifelong event, so he went to visit the Lan family yesterday. ”
The male should get married, the female should get married, and the relationship between Lantian and Liu Nuanyu can't go on forever.
In the past, the elders of the two families had not said anything for a long time, but now, since the Lan family is on the side, it is not good for the Liu family to pretend to be stupid again, otherwise, once the two sides stand on opposite sides and become enemies, Nuan Yu's happiness will be ruined.
After all, the Lan family has a respected status and is unwilling to condescend, so the Liu family has to take the initiative to talk about getting married.
Liu Xingyi's expression was gloomy, "As a result, my father was not only rejected by the Lan family, but also sneered, saying that we were beyond our strength and wanted to cling to us. My father lost face, and when he came home, he was so angry that he lifted his desk. Do you think I should still enter Chaotian Palace?"
Everyone was stunned.
It turns out that behind the incident, there is such a thing.
Wang Shicong said sympathetically: "In this case, even for the sake of face, Brother Yi must not go to Chaotian Palace again to see the stinky face of the Lan family." We are backbone people, we have a good life in Taixue, who do we need to turn to, the Lan family takes themselves too seriously!"
Liu Xingyi's eyes were slightly red, and he felt aggrieved, "My family doesn't have any position, it doesn't matter if I go to Chaotian Palace or not, our friendship will not change." What makes me uncomfortable is that my sister's lifelong happiness was ruined like this, and when she heard the news yesterday, she fainted from crying on the spot......"
The Lan family doesn't look down on her, even if she and Lantian are in love with each other and swear an alliance, what's the point?
Lantian is the eldest son of the Lan family, shouldering the future of the family, and he resolutely does not dare to disobey his parents' orders. Therefore, nine times out of ten, this matter will evolve into Lantian being negative and giving up this love that has lasted for many years.
In the end, only Liu Nuanyu was injured.
The essence of this tragedy is all because of the dignity and inferiority.
Seeing this, Wu Bencao patted Liu Xingyi's shoulder and comforted: "I don't think you need to be too pessimistic about things and rush to give up. The key to this marriage is not actually in the parents of both parties, but on the thoughts of Lantian Gongzi. ”
As long as the two are stronger than Jin and swear to the death, then things are man-made, and there is not no room for maneuver.
I'm afraid that Lan Tian's feelings for Nuan Yu are not firm enough, and in the face of the majesty of his family and father, he finally chooses to compromise, betrays his loyalty to Nuan Yu, and becomes a negative man.
People's hearts are fickle, and in that case, everything is meaningless.
Liu Xingyi lowered his head, clutched his shirt tightly, couldn't suppress his heartache, and his words revealed a little crying.
"But...... However, my sister is pregnant!"
