Chapter Forty-Nine: Repaying Grievances with Virtue, How to Repay Virtue?
"What, that kid from Zhang's Mansion actually invited us to a banquet?" The head of the Chen Mansion was quite surprised when he received the invitation, and was talking to the butler who received the post.
This housekeeper is extremely young, he looks eighteen or nineteen years old, and he is Chen Cong, who participated in the township test with Zhang Yi at the beginning.
Chen Cong bowed his head respectfully and said, "Master, since Zhang Yi has sent out an invitation, should we go?"
"Go, you should go. "Chen Donggu, the head of the Chen Mansion, looks like he is over fifty years old, and he looks like an ordinary outsider, and his cultivation is only the pinnacle of a person. The most striking thing is his eyes. His eyes are narrow, but his eyes are very focused.
Chen Cong raised his head and said a little uncomfortably: "Master, the Zhang Mansion is not even a wang clan. If you go in person, you will inevitably lose your identity, but if a few sons in the house go, you may lose face in front of that Zhang Yi. ”
Chen Donggu glanced at Chen Cong with satisfaction and praised: "Chen Cong, you are really smart and clever, and it is not in vain that Yuwen has praised you many times in front of me." You think really well, Yuwen Dengwen and a few people are not good enough in cultivation, if they go there, they will definitely lose face, but you forgot one thing, Zhongwen will come back today, and it will only be the kid from Zhang Mansion who will lose face at that time. ”
Chen Cong nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot about this, since the eldest prince is back, that Zhang Yi will definitely not be pleased." ”
"Okay, you go down and order someone to prepare and greet Zhongwen. Chen Donggu waved his hand and said, "By the way, I ordered that I must not let Xiangwen go to the banquet of Zhangfu, so as not to lose the face of my Chen Mansion." ”
"Yes. ”
Chen Cong bowed, turned around and walked out. Thinking of Chen Xiangwen just mentioned by the head of the family, a sneer appeared on the corner of Chen Cong's mouth.
If he hadn't tried it in front of Chen Yuwen many times, let him say more good things in front of the head of the family. How could such a despicable person as Chen Xiangwen let himself go? At present, although he has not taken off his slave status in the Chen Mansion, he has become a steward and has the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination.
Chen Cong smiled slightly, when he achieves the promotion of people, he can completely break away from the Chen Mansion.
......
At the same time, many famous families in Longbow City and even Baima County received invitations from Zhang's mansion.
The people who helped Zhang's house deliver supplies last time, Zhang Lin, a showman, personally invited him.
The neighbors near Xieyu Street also received invitations.
Miss Xie Yu, who is famous in Longbow City, went to Nantang to perform a few days ago, and happened to return to Xieyu Street. After receiving the invitation, the whole team with the whole team who was quite face-saving was going to perform songs and dances for the guests in Zhangfu when the time came.
After this news came out, there were originally some famous families who were not familiar with Zhang's mansion, and they all had the urge to go to Zhang's mansion for a banquet.
On June 23rd, Yi Nacai prayed for blessings and feasted guests.
The neighbors of Xieyu Street were the first to come, and the brothers Zhang Yunlong and Zhang Yunhu were dressed in Tsing Yi children's clothes and kept greeting guests. If an important guest comes, Zhang Lin, as the housekeeper of Zhang's Mansion, will personally welcome the guest.
Seventy percent of the famous families in the entire Longbow City rushed to Zhangfu. On the main road of Longbow City, there was an endless stream of luxurious carriages, all heading towards the southeast.
Soon, the heads of the two houses of Feng Qiao came to the door in person, and Zhang Yi dressed up and greeted him at the door;
The two heads of the family sat inside, Feng Chonglou and Qiao Juzheng were much more comfortable, and Feng Chonglou even put his arm around Zhang Yi's shoulders and said, "Ah Yi, after three months of hard work, Zhang's house has enough materials. However, with Miss Xie Yu here today, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people, and you can't keep your manpower busy at all. ”
"How can this be good? Why don't I go and invite all the guys from Wangchun Tower?" Zhang Yi and Zhang Lin have never organized banquets, so they didn't think of this problem at all, and now there are many guests, and it is extremely difficult to remedy.
Feng Chonglou smiled but did not speak.
Qiao Juzheng couldn't stand it a little, and said with a smile: "Before I came, Chonglou brought all the people in Wangchun Tower, and now they have entered through the back door, you don't have to worry about everything in today's banquet." ”
"Thank you. Zhang Yi hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, and the two friends helped him repeatedly, and he was really grateful.
"Ah Yi, you are a little hypocritical today. Aqiao is right, thank you for your great kindness, you should remember my great kindness. Feng Chonglou smiled and joked with the two, and suddenly his smile disappeared, and he said in a low voice, "The people from the Chen Mansion are here, and the leader is Chen Zhongwen." ”
Zhang Yi didn't look back, and said with a smile: "Zhang Lin, everyone in the Chen Mansion will be greeted by you." Chonglou is upright, let's go into the house to drink, last time the dean gave me a few pots of thirty-year-old Jinlingchun. ”
"Hurry up!"
Feng Chonglou hurriedly shouted and rushed towards the house first.
Qiao Juzheng's eyes naturally lit up, pretending to be calm, but his pace was no slower than that of Feng Chonglou.
Zhang Lin was slightly stunned, leaned over to Zhang Yi's side and whispered: "Xiao Yi, I'm afraid it's a bit against etiquette to do this, if someone criticizes Zhang Fu for not understanding etiquette, what should I do?"
Zhang Yi smiled indifferently: "Repaying grievances with virtue, how can I repay virtue? I can invite Chen Mansion, it is enough etiquette; if I give them enough face, then Zhang Mansion will be quiet." ”
After that, Zhang Yi followed Feng Qiao and the two into the house. From beginning to end, he did not give everyone in the Chen Mansion a straight face.
Zhang Lin silently recited Zhang Yi's sentence "Repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue?", he couldn't help but feel extremely relieved in his heart, and he had a strong smile on his face, and arched his hand: "Zhang Lin, the housekeeper of the Zhang Mansion, welcome to the Chen Mansion." ”
The faces of the Chen Mansion and his party were pale, especially Chen Zhongwen.
Originally, he saw Zhang Yi standing at the door to greet him, and he still had a smile on his face, ready to play Zhang Yi. Who knew that Zhang Yi didn't look at his group at all, and left with his sleeves up, leaving only a showman to entertain himself and others.
"Hehe!" Chen Zhongwen laughed angrily, leading everyone to go to Zhang's mansion.
"The girls from the Oblique Rain Building are here!"
At this moment, a guest shouted loudly, and hundreds of guests rushed out, rushing towards the girls on Xieyu Street, scattering everyone in the Chen Mansion.
When Zhang Yi and the others heard the news of Miss Xie Yu's arrival, they hurriedly stepped out of the house and went out of the door. Others don't know Xie Daoyun's true identity, and Zhang Yike can't be considered unaware.
The dignified daughter of the Eastern Jin Dynasty Xie Mansion, even the old lady of the palace has to praise her as the proud daughter of the sky with the "posture of a great sage", if Zhang Yi does not go to greet her, it will be really rude.
In the future, if the Imperial Shangli Hall or Daoyi Academy is investigated, the Zhang Mansion will not be able to bear it.
More importantly, Zhang Yi admires Xie Daoyun's talent and fame very much. In this era of male superiority and inferiority of women, Xie Daoyun can live such a wonderful life without losing to men, which is extremely commendable!
Zhang Yi passed past Chen Zhongwen softly, and arched his hand to Xie Daoyun from a distance: "Whisper to welcome Miss Xie Yu and the girls of Xieyulou, to be able to get the favor of all the girls, Zhang Yi is really fortunate in his third life!"
"Zhang Gongzi is laughing!"
"I heard that Zhang Gongzi was extremely handsome earlier, and when I saw it today, he really deserved his name, and he deserved to be the head of the three heroes of the white horse. ”
Xie Daoyun smiled slightly, and the girls from the Oblique Rain Building sneered and laughed one after another.
Feng Chonglou couldn't help it for a moment, and grinned: "Chun Tao, Ah Qiao and I are still standing here, you said that the White Horse Sanjie said the White Horse Sanjie, what do you do with a 'head'?"
"Poof!" The woman named Chun Tao covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, "It turned out to be Feng Gongzi, I'm really sorry! ”
......
Chen Zhongwen clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, this Zhang Yi actually valued a group of singers and actresses more than he treated Chen Fu and his party, this was simply a slap in the face of Chen Fu!
