Chapter 241: The Elephant of Wind and Bone
"The two old gentlemen are here, and the house is shining, please please!"
In the evening, Wu Ming was radiant, with a happy face, and greeted the two old men in front of the gate with great hospitality.
"Humph!"
Liu Zheng and Chen Tai, two old Confucians, who have always been quite strict with Wu Ming, but are still pleasant-looking, have black faces at this time, snort coldly, and without looking at Wu Ming, they took off their clothes and entered the palace.
"Don't blame the son!"
The two were followed by four students, one of whom was Chen Zihua, the son of Chen Tai, who smiled apologetically at Wu Ming and walked up the stairs.
"It's not strange, it's not weird, it's a blessing to be able to invite two old gentlemen as guests!"
Wu Ming wiped the bridge of his nose, walked two steps quickly, and led everyone straight into the inner hall.
Along the way, Chen and Liu Erlao had no previous enthusiasm, and they kept their old faces cold, which embarrassed Wu Ming, but it was not easy to attack, so they could only pinch their noses and admit it.
Although I had expected the reaction of the second elder, I didn't expect it to be so intense!
"Hahaha, the two of you can be counted, a little later, I have a hot plum blossom brew here, but it will be cold!"
From afar, Wu Fu's hearty laughter was heard.
"Hmph, you stinky chess basket, a good plum blossom brew must be drunk on ice, how can you waste good things like this?"
"Brother Yucang, I can't help it, I can't help it, don't spoil the cool feeling of plum blossom brewing!"
As soon as he heard that there was wine, the second elder's eyes lit up, and he left his unhappiness behind, laughed and scolded, and walked quickly.
Hearing the sound of 'Brother Yucang', Wu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, this name is exactly the word of Wu Fu, but after incarnating as a servant of the palace, he has never heard anyone call again!
"Teacher, you're here!"
Not long after, I heard a kind call like a yellow warbler, and the hearty laughter of the second elder.
"Senior sister is also in the house today?"
Chen Zihua's eyes lit up and he asked in a low voice.
"Hehe, the two old gentlemen are visiting for the first time, if there is no disciple to serve by the side, maybe they will train me to be what they will be!"
Wu Ming's eyes flashed slightly, and he said with a smile.
In fact, it was he who pulled Lu Zijin to be a shield, with this woman on his side, how could the second elder leave some thin noodles, it was not good to scold him too badly!
Unexpectedly, from Chen Zihua's eyes, he actually saw a hint of something else!
"Young Mu Ai, Zijin has grown up after all!"
As soon as the rare thought turned in his mind, Wu Ming restrained his thoughts and beckoned Chen Zihua and the four of them to enter.
I saw that there were already five people in the house, in addition to Wu Fu and Lu Zijin, there were also Honglian, Qu Ying and Chen Qiaoyun, who was also one of the first batch of children to enter the house.
Although they were extremely dissatisfied with Wu Ming, the two old Confucians still waited extremely politely and did not take their seats.
When learning reaches this point, it has become a cultivation in their bones, and no one can persuade them!
Wu Fu hurriedly gave Wu Ming a look.
"The two old gentlemen are quickly seated. ”
Wu Ming stepped forward quickly and stretched out his hand.
"If you are a guest at the door, how can you sit on the Lord's seat?"
Chen Tai's face turned pale, and he gently brushed his sleeves away.
Liu Zheng did the same, but a subtle smile flashed in his eyes.
"The old gentleman's words are wrong, my sister worships the two as teachers, I am the elder brother, and I don't worship the teacher, today's banquet for the two is to thank the teacher, you are all elders today, how can you not sit on the master?"
This point couldn't help Wu Ming at all, and he complimented him like a lotus.
It's just that he didn't notice that when the word 'sister' came out, Lu Zijin's beautiful eyes flashed with disappointment!
"Good!"
Before Chen Tai could say anything, Liu Zheng bowed his head slightly and pulled down his sleeve, "Brother Shan, since it is a thank-you banquet set up by the prince for Zijin, you and I don't have to excuse myself, hurry up and take a seat." ”
"Hmph, I think you're hooked by the aroma of plum blossom wine!"
Chen Tai glared at him fiercely, but he didn't shirk and sat down.
So, Wu Ming also hurriedly asked Wu Fu to sit in the middle of the two elders, with him sitting opposite, and Chen Zihua and others sitting in the deputy.
Although it is still a little unruly, it finally looks like a homely meal!
The four women were divided into left and right, and there was no distinction between master and servant, and they personally poured wine for everyone.
"I can't help it, how can I bother my sister and the three girls to pour the wine myself, I'll just drink it myself!"
This time, except for the three elders who handled it calmly, Chen Zihua and the four of them all refused to refuse.
The four girls are all famous class flowers in the martial arts hall, Lu Zijin doesn't need to say much, but also has the nickname of 'Dragon Girl', the red lotus is charming and charming, and almost everyone knows it.
Qu Ying, on the other hand, is a first-class student who is highly respected by the students.
As for Chen Qiaoqian, although this woman is not conspicuous, she has never fallen behind the others, which can be seen.
"Ahem, okay, you don't have to hold it, anyway, the table is big enough, sit together!"
Wu Ming was very tired of the ancient bad habit that men and women could not be at the same table, and the man had to finish eating before the woman could enter the table, so he immediately coughed dryly.
"Hmph, unruly, what kind of system?"
At this moment, even Liu Zheng can't stand it.
It is true that Lu Zijin is their disciple, and the three daughters of Red Lotus are also hard-working students who are very fond of them, but in their concepts, male superiority and inferiority of women have long been deeply rooted, and no matter how open-minded they are, they cannot change the concept that they uphold throughout their lives.
"Don't blame the teacher, my cousin is just joking. ”
Although he was still angry with Wu Ming, Lu Zijin still quietly opened up for him.
"Hehe, if the two of you are entangled in these details, I will really warm up the wine!"
Wu Fu saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, and immediately grabbed the wine jug with a smile and said.
"Hmph, the stinky chess basket is so messing around!"
Chen Tai feigned anger, snatched the wine jug like a baby, and first sniffed it gently, revealing an extremely intoxicated look.
"I also said that my wine worm was aroused, I think it's your gluttonous worm who is ready to move!"
Liu Zheng scolded with a smile.
"Haha, Brother Wen Qing's words did go to the old man's heart, come on, come on, don't delay any longer!"
Chen Tai was not annoyed when he heard this, he smiled heartily, poured wine for the three of them one by one, raised a glass and drank together, looked at each other and smiled, all without saying anything.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and all of them moved with joy, first giving respectful gifts, and then drinking them all.
Wu Ming was quite helpless, but he had to follow the local customs, even if this drinking method was extremely unpleasant, he could only follow the same example!
After three rounds of drinking, the guests and hosts talked very happily, the two elders did not bring forward their intentions, nor did they have the intention of asking the teacher to ask for guilt, Wu Ming is also full of juniors, and he looks like he is treating the elders wholeheartedly!
Tuk Tuk!
It's just that the second elder seemed to be happy, his cheeks were red, he hit the wine glass with a chopstick, sang a toast poem, and when he was happy, he exchanged a look that only two people could understand from time to time.
Wu Fu's eyes narrowed slightly, his face showed the color of appreciation and immersion, and he hummed a few words from time to time, as if he was already familiar with this situation.
Chen Zihua and the four of them gently beat the beat, accompanied by the second elder, and shook their heads and sang in a low voice from time to time.
Wu Ming seemed to understand whether he understood or not, listened quietly, and felt something faintly.
There is a different kind of power in poetry, which seems to be able to calm people's minds invisibly and attract people.
This is the spirit of Confucianism's literary cultivation!
It seems to be calm and waveless, but it is invisibly, sublimating the spirit of everyone, allowing everyone to understand the spirit of the will and spirit of the two old Confucians in the most intuitive way!
Similarly, it is also a gift from the two old Confucians who do not hesitate to spend their own energy to everyone!
Although the two elders who don't seem to have changed much, there are some wandering wrecks at this time, if you look at it with divine thoughts, you will inevitably find that the figures of the two are as tall as mountains, showing a special artistic conception, one is standing like a green pine, and the other is gurgling like a stream!
The former is respectful, and the latter is admirable for its perseverance!
And these two forms are the embodiment of the spirit of the two elders, similar to the Dharma of the grandmaster, although the nature is different, but they are also the same way.
I don't know how long it took, after a song, the second elder's face was still ruddy, but there was fatigue in his eyes.
"Thank you for the gift from the teacher, the student is ashamed!"
Chen Zihua was the first to wake up, and immediately shook it to the end, as did the other three, and they were extremely grateful.
"Thank you two old gentlemen for mentioning!"
The complicated color in Wu Ming's eyes flashed away, and he bowed respectfully.
Lu Zijin and the other four daughters also bowed their hands and thanked them.
"Hmph, what mess have you added to this plum blossom wine, why is it different from what you used to drink?"
Chen Tai snorted angrily.
"I also feel like this, more fragrant and purer than before, the feeling of coolness, straight to the heart, serving the wine in the fairy wine!"
Liu Zheng said with a meaningful smile.
Wu Ming smiled and didn't say anything, but he knew very well in his heart that this was the two old Confucians who didn't want to owe favors and deliberately pointed it out.
No matter what good things you put in the wine, this scene is enough to make up for it!
I have to say that although the two old Confucians are old-fashioned and seem to be unapproachable, they are actually very shrewd.
Knowing that today's banquet is definitely not a thank-you banquet, and there is a foreshadowing of the day's events, if Wu Ming has no reasonable explanation, he thinks that the two old men will take over.
"Two teachers, so far the beautiful scenery, there is a good wine, how can there be no poetry to help the fun?"
Lu Zijin's beautiful eyes turned and said with a smile.
"That's what I want!"
"Yes, yes, good wine and poetry, it should be bliss on earth!"
The two elders looked at each other and laughed heartily.
"Okay, good, the young master is the best at poetry, be ...... When ......"
Honglian didn't know what to do, stroked her palms and chuckled, but when she saw Wu Ming's gaze, she couldn't help but shrink her white tender neck, and finally said like a mosquito and a fly.
"Humph!"
Lu Zijin had already realized it, and his shadow flickered slightly, blocking his gaze, like a hen protecting his calf, he raised his white chin with a coquettish snort, looked down at Wu Ming condescendingly, and said almost word by word, "Cousin, you have a banquet for the two teachers today, you can't let them come with interest and return disappointed, otherwise I won't follow!"
Chen Zihua and the four of them exchanged glances without a trace, and they all shook their heads, which obviously excluded them!
"Ahem, what did my cousin say, how could I let the second elder return in defeat? It's just that with Brother Chen's four talents, how can I be ugly?"
Wu Ming saw the smugness that flashed in this beautiful woman's eyes, and he couldn't help coughing dryly and excused himself.
