Chapter 5: I Think You're Crazy!
Shen Changqing said it bluntly, and Xue Ji listened casually. Shui Ying'er must have written this down in her heart, but Xue Ji didn't take it seriously at this time, in his opinion, no matter how powerful this person is, she is just a rich concubine from a drama, and she is nothing when she comes out of the Chen family.
In the evening, a carriage outside Jiangling City came unhurriedly, and when he saw it driving under the city gate, the guards of the garrison stepped forward to stop him: "Who enters the city, can you be concerned?" ”
I saw the person in the car lift the curtain, looked up at the three words 'Jiangling City' on the city, smiled suddenly, and showed the number plate on his waist: "Jiangling Chen, Chen Yu." ”
The soldier in the city seemed to be a newcomer, he had never seen the world, and he was stunned when he heard the word Chen Yu, first panicked, then overjoyed, his eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, and finally his face froze again. Chen Yu didn't care, and called him out loud: "Can I enter the city?" ”
The pawn came back to his senses, hurriedly turned around and ordered the guard to retreat, turned his head and made a smile again: "Yes, of course!" The post station has already prepared a private room for the princess and the princess to wash the dust, and the small one will let people know! ”
The words are beautiful, but what I think in my heart is: Didn't Master Ma say that tomorrow will come, why did he come today? Today, the young master of the Chen family invited the guests to a banquet, and at this time, the nobles were all in the Chen You Garden, if he neglected the horse master, who could afford it......
"It's not troublesome, it's better to be comfortable at home, just inform Lord Wu." As the words fell, the coachman whipped and drove into the city.
Princess Wanyu in the car slowly opened her eyes, leaned on Chen Yu's shoulder with her arms, and saw that Chen Yu was about to put down the curtain and said, "I want to breathe, don't let it go." ”
Chen Yu's car drove away as the car gradually moved away, and the soldiers in the city looked at him in a daze, but the brother next to him patted him on the shoulder to wake him up: "Hey! It's far away, and it's still going to see! ”
"What are you shouting, let someone report to the prefect!"
After entering the city, Chen Yu closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair to recuperate, and Wanyu stopped speaking, the two of them were so cold, but they couldn't say how good they were. Through the window, she could vaguely see the outside scenery, and Wanyu saw the conspicuous word 'Chen' on the door of the house on the side, the door was open, and it was not lively inside, and she was a little surprised: "This is Chen's mansion?" ”
Chen Yu opened his eyes and saw that it was his uncle who gave the concubine and concubine a long face.
"This is the villa that Chen You has purchased, and I will hold a banquet today. Rest assured, princess, my mansion in Gangneung is not as shabby as this. ”
Chen Yu took the princess back to his house to rest overnight, and the next morning he went back to the ancestral hall of the old house of the Chen family to worship the ancestors. But Chen Yu came back with the princess, and Chen You couldn't afford to stand up and had to ask the two of them for peace, which was inevitably a little embarrassing. Chen Yu still respects this uncle, always speaks politely, Princess Wanyu is even more dignified and courteous and friendly, on the surface, she is happy and peaceful, but to Chen Shao, the little young master brought by Chen You, Chen Yu does not ask a word and is indifferent. Chen Yu's obvious rejection made this kid firmly hold a grudge.
At night, the lights are lit up on the street, and the Taibai Restaurant in the city is the most eye-catching, and the roads are closed all around, and they are not allowed to approach without showing invitations.
"The young master of the Chang family has arrived!"
"The master of the Li family has arrived!"
"The young master of the Shen family has arrived!"
"The young master of the Xue family has arrived!"
……
The guy at the door shouted enthusiastically, and every time he shouted, someone answered, saying beautiful words to welcome these distinguished guests, and when they entered the main hall, Chen Yu and Wanyu were already greeting the guests, greeting each other a few times, and sitting down.
As the moon sank, the outside of the door faded and the guests were seated. At this time, the last and most magnificent car stopped outside the door, although the people who came down were wearing regular clothes, the jade color around the waist was crystal clear without impurities, and the crown ornament on the head was also expensive.
"Prefect Wu has arrived!"
"Prefect Wu has arrived!"
"Prefect Wu has arrived!"
As soon as this person entered the door, all the guests present avoided and greeted him, and Chen Yu Wanyu and his wife were sitting on the head, and there was a little more smile on their faces when they saw the visitor.
The prefect Wu Yan smiled easily: "I have known each other from the horse master, and I am not in the official mansion today, so I won't come to this set of red tape!" ”
After that, he took a few steps forward and arched his hand: "Master Horse, princess." I haven't seen him for many years, and I miss it very much! ”
Chen Yu laughed and pointed to the side to lead him to a seat. "Brother Wu just said that there is no need to be formal, but he forgot about it! Hurry up and take a seat, today you and I are so old, not drunk and not home! ”
After Xue Ji sat down with his eldest brother, he secretly observed everyone at the banquet, and couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene, he didn't know that Chen Yu and the prefect were old acquaintances. Chen Yu was good at dancing with long sleeves when he was doing business in the past, and he thought that he could go from a businessman to today, and it was inseparable from the help of many 'old knowledge'. is different from Chen You's magnanimity, Chen Yu does not bluff to show off his family wealth, treats him politely everywhere, and listens carefully to his words.
Xue Jizheng was thinking about it, but he heard Chen Yu calling him.
"I haven't seen Qingzhi for some years, I only remember that this young man was young and extraordinary, and now I know when I hear about Qingzhongju, not only does he have a bearing, but also talent!"
Xue Ji raised his eyebrows and saw that Chen Yu was looking at him, his eyes were full of approval, his heart moved, and he hurriedly responded: "Cousin looks down on Xue Ji, I don't have any talent, I have learned it by immersing myself in studying." ”
"So many scholars can't become a lifter after studying hard for ten or twenty years, and now you are only seventeen years old, why should you be humble?" Chen Yu said, and looked at the guests on the left and right.
"Yes, my father also said that if I can have half of Xue Qingzhi's aura, he will be relieved."
"That's it, Brother Qing, don't be humble, let's be polite to each other!"
In addition to echoing the voice, even Wu Yan put down his wine glass and exclaimed: "I look at the examination papers of this Xue Gongzi, it is really different from others, he is quick in thinking and heroic in his strokes, but I don't know that he is only seventeen years old, and he will definitely do something in the future." ”
Chen You nodded when he listened, and then looked at Xue Ji: "Our own brothers, if we can become colleagues one day, it will also be a good thing." I took out a set of bookware a few years ago, the southern end of the Kanto Zihao Lingnan inkstone, all of which are of the highest grade, and now I want to keep it useless, so it is better to transfer it to Qingzhi, and I wish you the title of the gold list first! ”
Xue Ji was stunned when he heard this, didn't he hear someone say it a few years ago...... Chen Yu spent 100 gold to buy the Kanto Zihao with green bamboo flower and bird patterns made by the Kanto Lin family? Thinking like this, he was a little frightened, and just as he was about to excuse himself, Chen Yu opened his mouth again to cut off his words
"Don't shirk, our own brother."
Emphasizing his own brother so much, where would Xue Ji not understand, this is about to recruit him before he enters the office, it is interesting to think about it, if Chen Shao also embarks on this road in the future, does Chen Yu's own brother still make sense?
"Then thank you cousin!"
The two looked at each other and smiled happily.
Xue Qi took care of the dealings with the businessman, but he also paid attention to his brother's words and deeds, and when he saw the momentum of the two of them 'making a private decision for life', his face immediately sank, and he turned around and patted Xue Ji on the shoulder: "I can't accept it." ”
Xue Ji understood, but he didn't think so, and replied in a low voice: "I have collected everything, what can't I receive?" ”
Xue Qi was anxious, but he didn't dare to speak out because of the number of people. "Can you give it away for nothing?"
Xue Ji was still calm: "I know, so I accepted it." ”
"I think you're stupid!"
It was inconvenient to argue at the banquet, and the two resumed their own peace and had nothing to do with each other.
The wine is on the rise, where is a few cups of meat to be enjoyed, Chen Yu waved his hand and summoned several kabuki and dancing girls. Singing and dancing to rise to the level, but not a glamorous sound, the combination of the qin and the zither has the meaning of mountains and flowing water, the dancer wears a plain dress, and the dancing sleeves are like flowing water like clouds, so that people can't help but sigh: the elegance is very elegant.
Xue Ji is also a person who is good at playing the piano, if it is not for his studies, he also likes to listen to some Yale drinking and having fun, the current situation is just what he wants, he is full of joy, and he raises his hand to follow the song on the case, and his expression is intoxicated.
is different from Xue Ji's literati temperament, there are more rich young masters here, and they are used to hearing the excitement of Tianqing Courtyard, and they only feel dull and boring when they listen to Yale.
Chen Yu saw it in his eyes, he and Xue Ji were not too familiar, and they just happened to be close. It was true to see his extraordinary demeanor before, but now that he is talented, it may not be, it is hearsay, I don't know whether it is true or false, and I can only be sure of it when I heard Wu Yan's praise just now. Now looking at his intoxicated expression, unlike the impatient faces of the laity, it is indeed worth communion.
At this banquet, the guests had their own thoughts, and it was not revealed until they had left and got into the carriage. It was late at night, the lights of the Taibai Liquor House were still on, and the carriages were driving back to their homes, and Xue Ji was also among them.
Sitting in the carriage, Xue Qi was finally able to let go of his words, glared at Xue Ji and said angrily: "You are confused about the things of 100 gold? Is our family short of such money? I told you that I couldn't take it, I thought you were growing up and mature, but I didn't expect you to grow up at all! ”
Xue Ji is still afraid of his eldest brother, if his father comes to ask him, he can lift the car cover and quarrel with him.
Don't dare to talk back, you still have to argue.
"I didn't covet any 100-dollar bookware, I just thought I could accept it."
Xue Qi was even more angry: "You haven't entered the office yet, so you're in a hurry to give people your life?" ”
"What do you see Brother Chen Yu has taken a fancy to me? I didn't even join the company, so let me work for him? ”
"Didn't he want to win you over to work for him, couldn't it be that he gave you a hundred gold on a whim!"
"Is it really okay?"
This is probably the most courageous time Xue Ji was in front of Xue Qi, for some reason, after seeing the big scene all night, he was much calmer. He knew that Chen Yu would not give him things for no reason, but he could trust Chen Yu, and it might not be bad if he was with Chen Yu in the future. Besides, it's okay to accept such a thing, if it really changes again, can Chen Yu still force him to ask why he didn't do anything after accepting the gift?
The same car has a different dream, but what Xue Qi thinks is that now that his younger brother is older, he can't control it, his wings are stiff and he wants to fly out, and he has not yet entered the official school......
"I really shouldn't have left you to do this!" Xue Qi muttered hatefully.
Xue Ji was not afraid this time, accepted Chen Yu's gift, and listened to Wu Yan's praise, so many people saw it, and the whole Jiangling knew that he was going to enter the office, and it was too late for Xue Qi to regret not letting him go.
