Chapter 17: Escape?
In the middle of the hour, in the Spring Garden, the scholars and masters who participated in the poetry meeting gradually arrived.
In the VIP seat, Master Wei of Lishui Middle School sat in the center, flanked by a group of high school students, as well as Ma Tengyue, Chen Ang and other masters.
As for the owners of the four major families, they are not qualified to enter the Shengchun Garden, because of their status as merchants, they can only arrange another luxurious side courtyard to observe the poetry meeting, accompanied by the backyard relatives of the four families, but they are not qualified to enter through the main gate, and they are almost all at this time.
Today's Lishui Poetry Society has exceeded the scale and specifications of the past, although it is a middle school poetry club, but there are as many as three or four high school students, in addition, the four major business owners have come to observe, which is enough to show that the March Poetry Society is highly valued, and this secretly also involves the competition between the four major merchants.
Also, there is a very mysterious participant in this poetry meeting, this person is Tang Gongzi from the Qin State who was rumored to be in Lishui Middle School some time ago.
This Tang Gongzi is the fast son-in-law of Chenglong that Zhou Ruhai of the Zhou family fancies, and about him has been very crazy recently.
But his person has always remained mysterious, and this March poetry meeting was held at Zhou's house, and he is going to appear!
Zhou Ruhai said that Zhou Papi has always been good at calculation, and this time he put on such a big battle, so that this Tang Gongzi came out after a long time, and everyone wanted to see how great this person was.
Not to mention that a group of middle school scholars have secretly prepared means, even a few high school students have been solemnly greeted by several major businessmen in advance, and they are also a little interested in this mysterious Tang Gongzi.
Even a few masters, each of them wanted to meet this Tang Gongzi in their hearts to see if Zhou Ruhai was crazy, or if this week's peeling was really as discerning as a torch.
As the minutes ticked by, the poetry meeting was about to begin.
But the high-backed rosewood chair in the group of scholars was still empty, and Tang Gongzi still did not appear.
Gradually, the middle school students were a little dissatisfied, secretly talking to each other, whispering, and anger appeared in their expressions.
As the master, Zhou Ruoshui's brows also twisted, although his face was still sinking like water, but he didn't have the previous calm......
All the seats were full, but one seat was empty, but this was the most conspicuous position, and it was really awkward to glance at it.
"Hehe, isn't this Tang Gongzi scared! I don't think he dares to come!"
Luo Jia Luo Heng deliberately said loudly behind Zhou Ruoshui's back.
Zhou Lin of the Zhou family came to Zhou Ruoshui's side with a smile and said, "Ruoshui girl, what's going on?
Zhou Lin's words caused the surrounding scholars to burst into laughter.
With this laughter, everyone's discussion will be even more unscrupulous, and the originally quiet poem will become very noisy.
In the VIP seat, Chen Fuzi was so anxious that he sent several waves of people to the side hall to inquire about Zhou Ruhai's situation.
In his heart, he secretly scolded this Tang Gongzi for being too arrogant, so many high-ranking scholars, as well as Master Wei, were all there, just waiting for him alone.
Scholars should put etiquette first, how can they be so rude?
In the courtyard, it is even more chaotic at this time.
The heads of the Sima family, the Luo family, and the martial arts family angrily accused the Qin people of not understanding etiquette, and those with guns and sticks were clearly reprimanding Tang Yu.
Zhou Ruhai frowned deeply and didn't say a word, but Mrs. Zhou couldn't sit still, he sat in the middle of a group of female dependents, as the master, he couldn't get out, and his head was full of sweat......
It's over, it's over, I already knew that the kid surnamed Tang was unreliable, and now the poetry meeting has not started to make such a fuss, isn't this a clear plan to make the Zhou family unable to get off the stage?
Cai Chang is also ineffective, so please don't come yet, even if you tie it up, right?
There is still a moment left for the poetry meeting, but the atmosphere in the entire Shengchun Garden is strange, and the guests, hosts, and servants all seem to be restless......
......
The east wing, in the small courtyard.
Cai Chang trembled all over, and the sudden news made him fall into the ice cellar, his hands and feet were cold, beads of sweat were dripping down his head, his voice became extremely hoarse, and he was angry:
"How can such a big living person say that he is missing? Find it for me, dig three feet into the ground and find it for me!"
Dong'er's face was pale, and she knelt on the ground tremblingly, and said, "Tube...... Housekeeper, half an hour ago, Childe said that he was going out for a walk, Dong'er thought that Childe was going to see the scholars of the poetry club, so he didn't care, only followed him behind, but as soon as he got out of the gate, Dong'er didn't see it clearly in the crowd, Gong ...... Childe is gone......"
Dong'er was really frightened, with tears in her eyes and a pale face.
Cai Chang was also trembling, he turned into two steps and rushed into the side room of the east wing, and said loudly: "Old Su, you have something to say! Where did Tang Gongzi go? The March Poetry Festival was won by my Zhou family at a great cost, and this is not a child's play."
Since Tang Gongzi accepted the invitation, how could he say that he would not go if he didn't go? Now that everyone is gone, you ...... This...... What does that mean, exactly?
You...... Where are you going to put my host?"
Su Yong closed his eyes and lay on the recliner, motionless, and said for a long time:
"Steward Cai, I accepted the invitation on behalf of my son-in-law, but I didn't know that my son-in-law had his own arrangements, and he went out with a friend today. If you're going to say something wrong, count it mine. When I turn around, I will make amends to Master Zhou in person, and I don't blame you for this!"
Cai Chang was so angry that he almost jumped up, and shouted: "Old Su, for such a big matter, you will make amends with one sentence? What kind of family are you in my Zhou family? You are doing this to put my master in a desperate situation...... You ......"
Su Yong's closed eyes suddenly opened, his eyes were like knives, and he looked at Cai Chang and said, "Steward Cai, what kind of family is your Zhou family, can you remind me?
Just the Lishui Poetry Club, my son-in-law participated in it to give you the face of the Zhou family, and it was normal not to participate.
Listen to what you mean, do you still want to ask our master and servant today on behalf of Zhou Ruhai if you are guilty?"
"You ......" Cai Chang was so angry, his lips only trembled, but at this time he didn't dare to speak casually.
After all, the old man once said that he must not offend Su Lao, but today's incident is really bearable, which is unbearable, even if he Cai Chang has a good temper, he can't bear this breath.
But he couldn't bear this breath, and Su Yong was even more angry than him next.
"The surname Cai, what kind of thing are you? A servant of the Shangjia family dares to say such a disrespectful thing. Hurry up and get out of here, go back and tell your master, saying that my son-in-law went to a friend to make an appointment, and Hugh will be noisy again. Otherwise......"
Su Yong's eyes flashed with a cold glint.
Just this wisp of cold flashed, and Cai Chang's stomach instantly turned into nothing.
Cai Chang is also a person who knows people, where can't he see this Su Yong's ability? If you really anger this person, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to retreat.
It's just that I have an accident, but the lord and the lady, as well as the entire Lishui Poetry Club, are waiting for their reply!
It was too late, Cai Chang gritted his teeth, turned his head and left.
The anger in his heart, obviously this kid surnamed Tang was cowardly, he didn't dare to participate in the poetry meeting, and he was scolded when he turned around, how could he explain to the master?
Seeing Cai Chang leave, Su Yong suddenly stood up from the recliner, his face was no longer indifferent, and became very dignified, and said:
"Dong'er, what are you still kneeling for? Why don't you go with me to find your son?"
"Childe, Childe, where have you been! After this wave, how can our master and servant still live in the Zhou family?" Hey......" Su Yong sighed in his heart.
