Chapter 202: A Guest Comes from His Hometown
The next morning, Chen Ke was at home pondering how to deal with the appointment of Bo Yi Xuan in the evening. This is a good habit he has developed in his previous life, before meeting customers, imagine various possibilities in advance, including emergencies, how to deal with them one by one, and what kind of appearance they should have, etc., the so-called preparedness, this is how many times the experience of lessons in exchange.
He was carefully pondering the information he got from Zhao Zongji, and he heard the sound of bluffing outside, Chen Ke frowned, and before he could make a sound, he saw Liulang break in in a hurry, and said excitedly: "Brother, the guests from my hometown have arrived!" β
Because of good nutrition and diligent exercise, Liulang Chen Yu has already jumped up and has broad shoulders, and he doesn't look like a fourteen-year-old boy at all. However, on weekdays, he has to study in school honestly, because of his father's wedding, he only got two days off, and he was crazy outside, and he ran into a large group of people from Nanxunmen, so he hurried back to report the news.
Chen Ke asked him to inform his father, he also changed his clothes, and hurried out to greet him, and before he could get out of the alley, he saw more than a dozen villagers coming together. Among them are the elders and relatives of the Chen family, as well as friends such as Qian, Tu, Li, and Cai.
"Hahahaha......" Seeing so many familiar faces in an instant, Chen Ke was naturally overjoyed and greeted him with a loud laugh.
"Master." Chuanfu took a step forward and gave a big salute first: "I miss us to death." β
"You guy, you're fat again!" Chen Ke patted Chuanfu's thick and sturdy back, hugged his fists at everyone and smiled: "Hurry up and go to the house to sit, come from afar." I'm all tired! As he spoke, he swept around and smiled: "Is there anyone else?" β
"San Lang, don't worry, we didn't come empty-handed." Li Jian, who was wearing a luxurious robe and had an extraordinary bearing, said with a smile: "It was I who said that the brigade of people swaggered through the market, so that the people of the capital would look at us and laugh at us." Let them invest in the store first, let's report first. β
"People can come all the way. It's heavier than any other courtesy. Chen Xiliang, who was about to be the groom again, appeared in front of everyone, clasped his fists and smiled: "Don't come to harm!" β
"Congratulations to the official!" The crowd sang together.
Beckoning the guests into the house, Chen Xiliang asked people to call a banquet, but Li Jian and they resolutely refused: "The day after tomorrow will be a happy event, the family is busy, how can their own people add to the chaos." Let's check in and leave, and go back to the wedding banquet to have a good drink. β
How can Chen Xiliang ignore this meal? "No matter how busy you are, you have to eat. It's not bad for this time. β
All relatives and friends were respectful and obedient, and sat down to talk about the feelings of farewell. Chen Xiliang talked with them for a while, then confessed and asked Chen Ke and Song Duanping to accompany the guests. I hurriedly went to the tailor's shop to try on the groom's auspicious clothes.
"I saw that San Lang saw us, he pretended to be excited, and he couldn't hide his disappointment!" As soon as Chen Xiliang left, Tu Yang laughed and said, "I was thinking in my heart, why didn't I come." What should not have come? β
"How dare you orchestrate me!" Chen Ke laughed and scolded. But they are all old acquaintances, so he doesn't need to hide it, so he asked Cai Chuanfu bluntly: "Didn't you ask you to bring my daughter-in-law too?" In the future, how can my father-in-law get married, how can I not be a daughter-in-law? β
"And this rule?" Everyone was shocked.
"Nope. I said it casually. Chen Ke shook his head and smiled, but he was a little disappointed in his heart...... He originally wanted to make a few rich. Dragged Mrs. Cheng and the Su sisters into Beijing together. In this way, Su Xun had already planned to settle in the capital. It can reunite his family. Second, through his father's wedding, the two families were reconciled. Third, the second brother Chen Chen will also return to Beijing, and when the time comes, he will be matched with Banniang no matter what.
Of course, it is also good for himself...... Xiaomei's whole family is in the capital, so that she can get married at the end of the year, saving you toss back and forth.
"Alas, this is relieved......" Cai Chuanfu sighed and said: "Master, I won't tell you that my mother's mother is sick." "What's wrong with my mother-in-law?" Chen Ke had a smile on his face.
"At first we didn't know. Later, Lao Tu's daughter went to see her little sister, only to know that Mrs. Cheng had not been very good since the spring, and she invited all the doctors, but she was still not as good as day by day. Li Jian said: "Before we entered Beijing, we were already bedridden." β
"My little sister has so many letters, but she didn't reveal the news at all." Chen Ke was stunned.
"She's afraid that it will affect your career, so she keeps it a secret. In this way, Xiaomei and Banniang can't enter Beijing, so they can only wait until they return to their hometowns and provinces. Tu Yang looked at Chen Ke and said: "Little sister knows, this time I will definitely not be able to hide it from you, saying that you will continue to hide it from her father and brother, which is also what Mrs. Cheng meant." β
"Well......" Chen Ke nodded, sighed lightly, and said: "Well, the winter in Shu is better than the capital to raise people." β
After lunch, they took their leave and went back to the inn. In fact, the four of them didn't just come to attend the wedding, and they had to talk about it later, so Chen Ke didn't say anything at this time.
Autumn is short, and before you know it, it will be dark, Chen Ke said to Song Duanping, who was reading: "Go, old Song, let's go see the world today." β
Song Duanping didn't say much, the two changed into Confucian robes, one wore a square scarf and the other wore a hood, went out and got into the carriage, turned around on the street, passed many lively places, and gradually came to a slightly quiet alley.
I got off the carriage at the entrance of the alley, and saw that in the alley, there was only one house hanging in front of the door, and the lamp had three black characters written on it, 'Bo Yi Xuan', swaying slightly in the wind.
Chen Ke and Song Duanping even broke through the Longtan Tiger's Den, so naturally they would not be stunned by this kind of place. Walking side by side, the two looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.
When I walked to the door, I saw that it was a very ordinary faΓ§ade, and the door was closed, and there were no guards at the door. If it weren't for the lantern guidance, the two of them couldn't believe it, this is the destination of this trip,
But since it's called Bo Yi Xuan, there's nothing to hesitate about. Chen Ke stepped forward and banged on the door, bang, and a few crisp crashing sounds came far away in the night.
After a while, the courtyard door was opened, revealing a little Taoist boy with a bun and a pair of big eyes looking at the two.
"Chen Ke, the son of Shuzhong, was invited to meet the fourth son." Chen Ke said softly.
Xiao Daotong still didn't speak, looking at him with dark eyes.
Chen Ke knew what he meant, and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I forgot to bring an invitation." β
"You can't enter without an invitation." The boy said with a straight face.
"It's not up to you to decide." Chen Ke flicked a piece of gold leaf into the child's hand and said, "Go and ask your master if he can see it." β
This is actually what the little boy meant, so he put a straight face and put the gold leaf in his sleeve. 'Bang dang', before turning around, he closed the courtyard door tightly.
"Is this a closed door?" Chen Ke looked at Song Duanping.
"No haste, no haste, no haste." Song Duanping hurriedly patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "You are now a person with status, you have to talk about demeanor." β
"Fart demeanor." Chen Ke scolded, but finally held back and didn't get mad.
After a while, I heard a series of footsteps in the courtyard, and the courtyard door was reopened, and four children and girls in Tsing Yi greeted them with lanterns. Claiming to be the butler of Bo Yi Xuan, the Taoist master has prepared a banquet and is just waiting for the distinguished guests to come.
The woman's conversation was fresh and elegant, like a breeze, which made the unhappiness in Chen Ke's hearts disappear.
Both of them were a little stunned, and said in their hearts that she must be the most beautiful housekeeper in the world. Chen Ke has done his homework and knows that this is the Oiran Orchid Fairy Yi Ning Niang who is on the same list as Du Qingshuang. Soon after she was named Oiran, she disappeared from people's sight, and the old bustard of the original Qinglou was silent. It really made some of her infatuated guests lose their ........., and it took a long time for people to learn of her whereabouts from the celebrities who were lucky enough to be invited to Bo Yi Xuan. I really can't imagine that the dignified Oiran actually acts as a housekeeper...... Even if Zhao Zonghui is a prince, people can't accept it. However, I have to admit that this has added to the attractiveness of this Bo Yi Xuan.
Entering the courtyard, Chen Ke and the smiling hypocrisy and grievance, Song Duanping followed behind, vigilantly observing the 'Bo Yi Xuan' with a dark reputation. I saw that the whole courtyard was not big, even a two-story building was missing, and there were not many lights in the house in the dark shadow, and the house was not very new.
However, this courtyard is obviously carefully polished by craftsmen, giving up the original concept of the beauty of the northern architecture, imitating some scenery in the south, and then introducing living water to build a small pond, seemingly random piling up of a rockery of Taihu Lake stone, coupled with the flowers and plants in the stars, so that the small courtyard immediately has a sense of winding paths and secluded scenery.
After entering the hall, Song Duanping was even more surprised to find that the items and furnishings here looked plain and clumsy at first glance, but he was well-informed and found that all of them were expensive Han and Tang antiques. Obviously, the owner here wants this kind of feeling that looks simple and simple, and only those who know the goods will smile.
Look at the middle hall again, there is a picture of writing hanging in the middle hall. It reads, 'The mountain is not high, but the name of the immortal.' The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it is smart...... There is a great deal of talk and laughter, and there is no white ding...... Nanyang Zhuge Lu, West Shuzi Cloud Pavilion. Confucius said: 'What is ugly? "It is the well-known "Burrow", I don't know how many people hang this character in their homes, but this one is different.
Because at the place of registration, there are only three words 'Liu Yuxi', not the usual 'Liu Yuxiwen, so-and-so book'.
This is the real thing.
This kind of low-key behavior everywhere, but in fact, it is stinky and showy, made Song Duanping and Chen Ke look at each other and smile: "What a pretending criminal......
That Yi Ning Niang said to go to Tongyu, but when she went out for a while, no one came out to receive her, and no one came out to serve tea, this feeling of being sunburned was not comfortable. Chen Ke stood up irritably and paced. Song Duanping asked him to sit down, and he sat for a while, and then stood up irritably.
