Chapter 39: Together
Meilong Town is just a small town, business is not developed, the only commercial street is called North Street, located in the north of the town, said to be a commercial street, originally also an ordinary street, but the main road in the north and south of the town is very close, passing merchants and travelers have to pass through here, there is such a saying, ' The flow of people is the flow of money', after a long time, there are some people with more active brains to open shops and do business here, at first one or two, and then more and more gathered, and slowly became a scale, from the grocery store that sells needles and threads to the antique store of gold, silver and jewelry, almost everything that the townspeople need in their daily life can be bought on this street, and therefore, this originally very ordinary street has become the most important street in Meilong Town after I don't know how many times of renovation and reconstruction, according to outsiders, this street alone is no worse than most small counties。
The tallest and most eye-catching building is a two-story small building, with blue brick walls, vermilion doors and windows, and cornices. Between the first floor and the second floor of the main entrance, there is a black lacquered flat forehead, which is five feet long and one foot five inches wide, and the lacquered gold characters are three feet long and square.
This is the largest restaurant in Meilong Town, and it is also the place where Liu Wenxiong, the richest man in the town, held a birthday banquet for his father's 70th birthday, the lights are hung in front of the door, beaming with joy, the people who come to worship the birthday are endless, one by one dressed neatly, full of smiles, many people are still carrying gifts in their hands, pinching red envelopes, after meeting, they are congratulating, laughing and talking, it is even more festive than the New Year, and the little two who welcome the guests in front of the door have also changed into brand new trouser gowns, and greet the guests who are invited to the banquet to meet the guests.
"Every day, have you been in there before?" One left and one right, one older and one young, two children stood in front of the gate of Juyou Building, one was Tian Qingyou, the other was Tan Xiaotian, two people each had a roll of paper in their arms, and Yuan Lang was standing behind them.
"Nope." Tan Xiaotian shook his head - just looking at the decoration outside, he knew that this was not a place that ordinary people could afford, his family had no money, and even ate three meals a day with the guys in the inn.
"Hehe, I've been in there a few times. Let me tell you, the place inside is very big, there are more than 20 tables in the hall below, and the upstairs is a private room, with eight private rooms of plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, sun, moon, star, and light" Tian Qingyou showed off his knowledge, and talked endlessly, and the conversation box couldn't be closed as soon as it was opened.
"I don't see how good your brain is when you endorse it, how can you remember this kind of thing?" Knocking Tian Qingyou on the back of the head, Old Master Yuan teased.
"Hehe, my mother said that cats have cat roads, and dogs have dog roads, so I'm not a reading brain." Rubbing the back of his head, which didn't actually hurt, Tian Qingyou sneered.
"You, I really regret bringing you here, a total of seven words, it took me half a pillar of incense to memorize it and finally memorize it, if I knew this, it would be better to let Chen Lihong do it." Yuan Lang sighed - invited to a banquet to celebrate his birthday, he is always embarrassed to be empty-handed, right? The so-called Xiucai love paper, he has no long things, the only thing he can be proud of is full of knowledge and a good word, so last night carefully wrote a few longevity couplets, and then selected the most satisfactory one as a gift, then by Tian Qingyou and Tan Xiaotian two unfolded and read out loud, so that the old man of the birthday star was happy, the whole plan was very good, but in the morning in the 'learning boundless' rehearsal encountered unexpected trouble - a total of fourteen words, two people remember seven, think about how the brain is not easy to use, It's time to memorize it five or six times, right? Who would think that Tian Qingyou had to memorize it eighteen times before he could read it completely, thinking of the other party's fluency when he remembered the private room upstairs in Juyou Building, how could Yuan Lang not shake his head.
"Chen Lihong's father is the chef of Juyoulou, he comes almost every day, eats delicious food every day, and it is not bad this time, it is too wasteful to give him such an opportunity." Tian Qingyou immediately retorted.
"Take you and don't waste it?" Yuan Lang said with a smile.
"Hey, yes." Tian Qingyou nodded hurriedly, expressing his 1,000% agreement with the teacher's wise decision.
"Hmph, if you spend one-tenth of your thoughts on studying, your father will probably wake up laughing from his dreams." Yuan Lang hummed helplessly.
"Hey, isn't this Teacher Yuan? It's been a long time, how are you doing lately? When I was about to enter the building to participate in the banquet, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind, looking back, the person who came was a middle-aged man in his forties, six feet tall, half a head taller than ordinary people, wearing a cyan gown, wearing a white scarf, wearing thick-soled soft boots, a folding fan of Xiangfei bamboo, a lion nose, lying silkworm eyebrows, Danfeng eyes, white and beardless, with a bit of elegant temperament, followed by a seven or eight-year-old child, the size is similar to Tian Qingyou, the figure is much slimmer, and the hair is combed with two red ropes. The face is red in protein, and it can be broken by blowing, like a lucky boy on a New Year's painting, holding a scroll in his arms, which is estimated to be something like calligraphy and painting.
"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Su, thanks to his concern, it's reasonable." Recognizing who the person was, Yuan Lang replied with a smile.
"Who is he?" After all, Tan Xiaotian arrived in Meilong Town not long ago, many people don't know him, seeing that this middle-aged man has a good temperament, and seems to be a person with a considerable identity, so he secretly asked Tian Qingyou.
Tian Qingyou put his mouth close to Tan Xiaotian's ear, "His name is Su Quan, and he is the teacher of the Wanjuan Lou Pavilion. ”
"Oh", Tan Xiaotian had heard of the name of Wanjuan Tower, but Yuelai Inn was in the east of Meilong Town, and Wanjuanlou was in the west of Meilong Town, which was too far away for a child of his age, so although he knew its name, he had never been there.
"Hehe, these two children are probably Teacher Su's students, right? One person is holding a roll of paper in his arms, it seems that the two of us are heroes who see the same thing, and we are preparing similar congratulatory gifts, but I don't know who the birthday guild appreciates more? Su Quan looked at the two children standing behind Yuan Lang and asked with a smile.
"Hehe, as long as the birthday star is open, what does it matter who he admires? Mr. Su, what do you think? Yuan Lang replied with a smile, but he was a little unhappy in his heart - the so-called peers are enemies, and they both opened a museum in Meilong Town to teach, so they will inevitably be compared, although he is indifferent to fame and fortune, and does not care about things outside his body, but the competition between the two schools is an objective fact. He didn't want to fight with Su Quan, but Su Quan always wanted to fight with him, what could he do?
