Chapter 20: Mi Zhu, the Ancient Gentleman (2)
"Brother Zizhong......" When Chen Deng walked into the guest hall, Mi Zhu had just received the hot tea from the Chen family's servants.
Mi Zhu nodded at the servant to show his gratitude, then put the teacup on the coffee table on the side, stood up with a smile, "Yuanlong, come uninvited, don't be surprised." ”
"Where, where." Chen Deng beckoned Mi Zhu to sit down, and the servant brought another cup of tea, Chen Deng smiled and nodded at him.
The servant went down with excitement.
Mi Zhu glanced at Chen Deng meaningfully, and secretly wondered in his heart, Yuan Long has always been arrogant, and he looks down on those who are inferior (here refers to the meaning of doing rough work, there is no derogatory meaning), and it is really ...... Inscrutable.
Seeing Mi Zhu take a sip of tea, Chen Deng smiled and said, "Brother Zizhong said that he came in person today, and there must be something important......
“…… Well. Mi Zhu nodded, clasped his fists at Chen Deng and said, "I went to Shu a few days ago, and I didn't want my unsuccessful brother to offend the Chen family, so I was uneasy, so I came to ask for guilt." ”
Chen Deng smiled slightly, stroked his palm and said, "I see that thing was done by Gongliang, my brother has always been elegant, and he will never do such a thing." ”
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed." Mi Zhu returned the gift, "In addition, Mi Zhu has another matter that I want Yuanlong to ask for." ”
"Don't dare to ask for advice, please speak up."
"Recently, the Chen family has purchased grain at a high price, what is the important matter?"
Is there something important that you can't see? Chen Deng muttered in his heart, frowned slightly, and thought of the reason, I am afraid that my Chen family's purchase of grain has affected the price of grain, so ......
"Brother Zizhong......" Chen Deng put away his smile, his expression was very serious, "The troubled times are coming, I don't know what my brother has planned?" ”
Mi Zhu was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile, "Du Dao Chen Yuanlong is straightforward, brother can't do it, Yuanlong must also know that although the Mi family has a big family business, but there are also a lot of wastes, the yellow scarf has become popular recently, I also want to prepare some grain and grass, I don't want Yuanlong to have already made this plan......" Speaking of this, he frowned, and said with some shame, "Brother said it bluntly, I came to borrow five hundred stones of grain from the Chen family, and afterwards I thanked him with three layers." ”
"This ......" When Chen Deng heard this, he began to hesitate in his heart, the three layers are a lot, and it can even be said that it is too much, but the current grain is different from the grain in the Taiping period, and it costs 500 stones, which is a bit difficult to do.
For a while, the scene began to cool down.
"Would you like to take a look?" Jiang Zhe paced around in the tent, seemingly a little planned. "What are you afraid of! Even Chen Deng called me teacher, where can this Mi Zhu be arrogant! ”
Jiang Zhe made up his mind and gritted his teeth viciously and "rushed" out.
asked a subordinate, Jiang Zhe learned that Chen Deng was meeting guests in the guest hall, meeting guests? So that means that Mi Zhu is in that guest hall? Looking at the houses in Chen's Mansion with some depression, Jiang Zhe muttered, "Ketang...... Guest ...... Looks like this is the ......."
After touching nearly half of the incense, Jiang Zhe finally found the place, the cat looked inside outside the door, hateful, he could only see the back of Mi Zhu's head.
Jiang Zhe was suddenly a little anxious, such a good opportunity to get close to these ancients, Chen Deng, this kid, actually let Mi Zhu sit with his back to me?
"Yuanlong ......"
"Brother, don't worry, wait for me to think about it again......" Chen Deng thought in his heart, five hundred stones said more and more, and said less, looking at himself that he meant to help him, but if this matter was known by his father, what should he do? My father has always been angry with the Mi family and even Mi Zhu.
Alas...... Chen Deng sighed, looked up and was about to talk to Mi Zhu, when he suddenly saw Jiang Zhe outside the door, and his expression was so wonderful.
Can't believe it? Embarrassed? Doubt? Be all abroad? Many expressions gathered on Chen Deng's face, and Mi Zhu was stunned for a while, only to find that Chen Deng was staring at the door when he looked closely, and as soon as Mi Zhu turned around, his face suddenly became strange.
I saw a strange man outside the door, sticking his head out, looking inside with great difficulty.
"......" Chen Deng's face was a little embarrassed, and it was difficult to say, so he had to pretend not to see it.
"This matter can still be accommodating...... Chen Deng lowered his head, trying not to see Jiang Zhe, "As long as my father doesn't know, hehe, Brother Zizhong, my father is wary of you!" ”
"Huh...... Hehe, that Zi Zhong said that he was going to visit Ling Zun and apologize to him. Mi Zhu said as he turned his head to look at Jiang Zhe outside the door with some curiosity, thinking in his heart that this person was acting frivolously, but Yuan Long seemed to be jealous of him, which was strange......
Damn, Jiang Zhe turned his head when he saw Mi Zhu, but the light in the guest hall was too dim, and he came in from the outside, so he couldn't see Mi Zhu's face clearly.
Wouldn't it be a shame to miss out on such an opportunity? Jiang Zhe secretly thought that since they had already discovered me, what were they afraid of, so he swaggered in, pretending to look at the paintings on the wall, but actually looked at Mi Zhu vigorously.
Well, his face is like a crown of jade, his face is delicate and faintly with a hint of righteousness, and his movements are elegant, which is worthy of being an ancient celebrity.
"......" Chen Deng was very helpless in his heart, this teacher is good at everything, and his knowledge is beyond everyone else, but he always likes to do something inexplicable, you say talk to my brother Zi Zhong about something, what kind of trouble are you coming to make trouble.
Mi Zhu looked at Chen Deng, and then at Jiang Zhe, his face was a little strange, this can't be invisible, right?
"You go on...... Hehe, you go on, I'm just looking, just take a look. Jiang Zhe saw that Mi Zhu was staring at him vigorously, and he was immediately a little embarrassed.
"What do you call this brother?" Mi Zhu asked with his fists clenched without losing his manners.
Unexpectedly, Chen Deng was a little dissatisfied when he heard it, and said in his heart that you and my teacher are the same generation, so wouldn't it be in vain that you have grown up with me? It's hard to speak, so I have to continue to pretend to be an ostrich.
"In Shimojiang, Zhejiang Shouyi." Jiang Zhe walked over with some familiarity.
"I'm glad I will." Mi Zhu's etiquette really makes people feel like a spring breeze, and it is simply a model of a perfect scholar.
"Brother and Yuanlong ......"
"Oh." Seeing that he didn't understand, Jiang Zhe immediately explained, "I talked to Yuanlong very ...... Very speculative, that ...... It's a good conversation, it's a friend, a good friend......"
Yuan Long secretly felt a little pity in addition to secretly glad that he did not lose face, and sighed in his heart, the teacher is afraid that he still has not taken himself as a disciple to pass on the mantle, and he still needs to work hard.
But it's okay not to say it, Chen Deng looked at Mi Zhu with some vigilance.
Inexplicably feeling Chen Deng's vigilance, Mi Zhu couldn't figure it out, but it was still important to get down to business, he opened his mouth and said, "Brother has a sister, Yunlong must know that it is fifteen ...... this year" Speaking of this, he looked at Chen Deng vigorously.
Chen Deng frowned, Mi Zhu's sister he knew, she was a little beauty, and she was also a good match, but in this Xuzhou City, according to the current situation, I am afraid that only the Chen family and his Mi family will stand tall in this troubled era, so this will be the future......
"Your sister?" Jiang Zhe opened his eyes and said anxiously, "Is that the ...... It's called Mi Zhen? ”
"How do you know the name of the little sister?" Mi Zhu's face changed slightly.
Jiang Zhe chuckled in his heart, and then said with a haha, "The first beauty in Xuzhou City, haha...... Yuanlong, don't you say? ”
Hearing the word Yuanlong, Mi Zhu's eyes widened.
"What the teacher said is ......," Chen Deng's voice stopped abruptly.
Mi Zhu looked at Jiang Zhe in disbelief, forgetting to ask again.
"Cough, I still have some things, I'll go first......" Jiang Zhe is a person, he is not stupid, it seems to be recorded in later generations, the woman's name seems to be only his brother and brother, and her husband can be called, like the Mi Zhen just now, I am afraid it is very impolite.
Watching Jiang Zhe run away, Mi Zhu asked with some suspicion, "He is your teacher?" No wonder it's so elegant. ”
"What do you want to do?" Chen Deng was shocked in his heart and said vigilantly.
