(Ask for collections, ask for clicks, ask for recommendation votes, and ask for great support from readers.) )

The food of Taibai Restaurant is also one of the best in Suzhou Fucheng, but the price is not simple, the restaurant has a total of four floors, the lobby on the first floor, the consumption is cheaper, it can be said that it is for the public, from the second floor to the fourth floor, all are private rooms, among which there are separate private rooms, and there are also elegant rooms that are like suites, which makes Zheng Xunrui very emotional, it seems that the culture of eating is really broad and profound, and it is prosperous at any time.

Wandering around in the morning, Zheng Xunrui didn't have much interest, because there was some estrangement between each other, his words were not very much, most of the time Yang Tingshu and everyone expressed the matters after parting, but the sour taste of talking between readers made him really a little unbearable, since everyone is a good friend, then go straight, there is no need to fiddle with the literary style, as if you are afraid that others will not know that you are a scholar, no wonder the nickname of Sour Xiucai will spread outside.

Yang He probably can't get used to these situations, as a soldier, being in such an environment, it's simply torment, but the accusation is in the body, and he can't bear it and needs to persevere, on the way back, Yang He couldn't help but complain a few words in front of Zheng Xunrui, and he could only say it in front of Zheng Xunrui, although it was only a few days, but between him and Zheng Xunrui, he was already able to say a lot of things.

Different levels, cognition must be different, perhaps this way of revealing literary brilliance is sought after and accepted by readers, but ordinary people are definitely not used to it, including Zheng Xunrui, a pseudo-reader, who is also unaccustomed to it.

In fact, this is not the way the officials of the Ming Dynasty get along with each other at all, after becoming officials, they will only regard the so-called poetry and literature meetings of the previous sour crepe as a small thing.

Entering the private room, the antique furnishings and exquisite screens make people feel that the grade here is very high.

On the table were three copper stoves, which were used to make hot pots, and in them were placed charcoals that had been well lit.

Dishes and dim sum quickly came up, and three delicate iron pots were also placed on top of the copper stove, a mutton hot pot, a pork hot pot, and a snowflake tofu hot pot.

Although it has been almost a year, Zheng Xunrui is still the first time to come to such a high-end restaurant, the first time to eat such a banquet, when he was in Nanjing, he and Yang Tingshu will not eat and drink so luxuriously, Qinhuaihe Shengze's homecoming wine and food are mainly exquisite, less and fine, there will not be so many dishes, but the stamina is also very great.

The wine came up quickly, this is Shaoxing's daughter red, and it is a high-quality wine.

The man poured the wine for everyone and stood behind him.

Yang Tingshu opened his mouth to the guy, saying that today is a gathering of friends, pour his own wine, and the guy is waiting outside, if he needs to add wine and food, he will be reminded.

After the guy left, Yang Tingshu first picked up the wine glass and mentioned that everyone had made the first glass of wine.

After drinking the first glass of wine, Yang Tingshu personally picked up the wine jug and filled everyone with daughter red.

As soon as Yang Tingshu sat down, Zhang Pu spoke.

"Brother Qingyang came to Suzhou for the first time, borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and toasted a glass."

Zheng Xunrui's eyes flashed, so fast, it seems that this Zhang Pu is a person who holds grudges, the previous conversation, must still be remembered in his heart, if you want to say that this drinking, outsiders must be at a loss, everyone is a scholar, you want to save face, it is impossible to make a fuss about drinking, everyone else here is from Suzhou, only I am from Jiangning County, it doesn't matter if this person has a glass, the wine glass is not big, less than one or two wines, but if it is a toast over and over again, no one can bear it.

Zheng Xunrui raised his wine glass.

"Thank you Brother Tianru, this glass of wine must be drunk in the next, I am new to it, I hope to get Brother Tianru's care."

Zhang Pu drank the first glass of wine, and then the rest of the people toasted, but Wu Changye in this is similar to Zheng Xunrui, he is not from Suzhou, and he also traveled to Suzhou.

It should be said that the people who eat together today, Zhang Pu's fame is the greatest, on the one hand, because of the story of seven records and seven burnings, which shows that Zhang Pu's knowledge is very profound, on the other hand, it is also the most critical place, that is, Zhang Pu cares about current affairs, once founded the Ying Society with Zhang Cai in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, and made many scholars, and carried out a resolute struggle with the eunuch party headed by Wei Zhongxian, echoing the Donglin Party, the members of the Ying Society reached 3,000 people at its peak, and in the first year of Chongzhen, Zhang Pu founded the Fu Society alone, For more than a year, Zhang Pu organized and led the Restoration Society to make a sharp struggle against the Eunuch Party, the most important of which was to expel Gu Bingqian, the backbone of the Eunuch Party, because in terms of expelling the Eunuch Party, he had the same aspirations as the imperial court, which made the Restoration Society develop rapidly, and also made the Restoration Society gradually change its flavor and began to interfere in the government.

It is very rare for Zhang Pu, who is born with an identity, to be able to do so many things, and it also shows that Zhang Pu does have extraordinary organizational skills and knowledge.

Such a wise young man, it is said that Zheng Xunrui should be the object of unity, at least in the process of future development, can get a lot of help, but today is really contacted, Zheng Xunrui has a very bad impression of Zhang Pu, he always feels that Zhang Pu's body, there is a pride of unconvincing people, an arrogant attitude towards a qiē, and a domineering attitude of looking down on all beings, such a person is impossible to really obey others, and always wants to be a leader.

It is no wonder that after Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai co-founded Yingshe, they would establish Fushe alone.

Such a person, thinking about entrapment, basically has little hope, even if he is reluctantly wooed, he will become a fatal opponent in the future, and there will be a split within the director, because Zhang Pu is a person who is very conceited, thinking that everything he does is correct, will not admit defeat, and will fight for his own ideals.

Zhang Pu's next words confirmed Zheng Xunrui's conjecture.

"Brother Qingyang, the court is now cleaning up the eunuch party, the emperor's eyes are like a torch, and he is determined to eliminate the scourge of the eunuch party in one fell swoop, so that the world's scholars are comfortable, in the next is to hate the eunuch party, and has also fought with the eunuch party to the death, for this special organization should be the society and the resumption of the society, is to unite the people with lofty ideals in the world, for the imperial court to drum and shout, in the next and Qingyang brother contact although not much, can be sympathetic, in the next also carefully tasted the Qing Yang brother Jiangning County test article, still excited, I can't imagine that Brother Qing Yang has such a vision, If Brother Qingyang is willing, I look forward to working with you to strengthen the Restoration Society, meet friends with literature, and discuss government affairs. ”

The surroundings fell silent for a moment.

The reputation of the Restoration Society is very great, although it has not been established for a long time, but the influence has surpassed that of the Society, as the founder of Zhang Pu, is even more famous, has received attention from all sides, countless readers have taken the initiative to join the Restoration Society, this time Yang Tingshu invited Zheng Xunrui to come to Suzhou, according to Zhang Pu's reputation, there was no need to come forward, you can wait for Zheng Xunrui to visit, to everyone's surprise, Zhang Pu not only came forward, but also took the initiative to invite Zheng Xunrui to join the Restoration Society.

All eyes looked at Zheng Xunrui.

Zheng Xunrui, who had been prepared, sneered in his heart, what are you kidding, after I Zheng Xunrui crossed, I want to do big things, how can I live in a small Fushe, as the saying goes, scholars have not rebelled for ten years, whether it is Fushe, Yingshe or even the Donglin Party, it is not with the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, the ashes are gone, where did the original impassioned go, and where did the original enthusiasm go, and where did the ambition to save the world go.

If you get into a mess with these scholars who know how to talk about rhetoric, what Zheng Xunrui is left is to wait for Houjin to grovel after entering the Central Plains.

Coughing twice, Zheng Xunrui slowly spoke.

"Brother Tianru can afford to look down on him, and he is grateful, but there is a family motto requirement below, I am afraid that he will not be able to agree to Brother Tianru's request, and besides, he is talking lightly, and now he is thinking of traveling around, increasing his knowledge, and preparing for the township test in the coming year, as for other things, he will not consider it for the time being."

Zhang Pu's face changed slightly, it was the first time he had met such a direct rejection.

"Brother Qingyang, do you not know anything about the resumption of society, why do you need to take out the family motto to prevaricate, as for saying that people are light-hearted, Brother Qingyang is Ying Tianfu Xiaosanyuan, such knowledge, people are light-hearted, and there is no place to be ashamed."

Zhang Pu's domineering spirit was finally revealed, and at this time, Zheng Xunrui would not be polite.

"The Zheng family in Jiangning County is the inheritance of the Zheng family in Xingyang, although it is said that the Zheng family in Xingyang is getting weaker and weaker, but the family motto is still a rule that many children must abide by, and they dare not violate it in the next, so they will not be ashamed to face their ancestors, and the Zheng family in Xingyang requires the children of the family to clean themselves, not to cling to the powerful, not to form a party and association, but also to learn no skills, corrupt the style, these rules are extremely clear, and they dare not violate it."

A trace of spark faintly appeared, Yang Yi and Gu Menglin's faces changed slightly, of course they knew that the real famous family, they didn't expect Zheng Xunrui to be the descendant of the Xingyang Zheng family, no wonder they were able to show such bearing and knowledge.

Zhang Pu's face turned a little blue, he slowly stood up, and opened his mouth with a fist at Yang Tingshu.

"Brother Huaidou, there are still a lot of things to deal with in the future, don't leave it today, if he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely invite Brother Huaidou to drink."

Just as Zhang Pu turned around and was about to leave, Zheng Xunrui's face showed a sneer.

Zhang Pu saw Zheng Xunrui's expression and couldn't help but burst into anger.

"Brother Qingyang, are you laughing at you?"

"Don't dare, when I saw the situation just now, I want to say a word, the sea is a hundred rivers, there is tolerance, there are thousands of walls, and there is no desire. This is to be vigilant in the next moment, and it is also to be expected to do it in the next moment. ”

The private room was even quieter, Zhang Pu tasted this sentence slightly, his face turned red instantly, he glanced at Zheng Xunrui hatefully, and turned around and left the private room.
