Chapter 31: I'm Hungry
Chen Fan felt uncomfortable, and so did Liang Xiu, but he was used to it, and he also pretended to be deaf and dumb, watching Xu Zhen speak, and like Chen Fan, he looked at Lin Jun with his eyes and didn't squeak. The others were the same, the sky fell, there was a tall man on top, he just didn't get out, and the room was quiet.
Others can not speak, but Lin Jun can't, the matter was provoked by him, and there is no reason to back down at this time, "Since Xu Lang thinks that Fa Sheng's proposal is good, then naturally he should act according to Fa Sheng's opinion." Just Fa Sheng said, he recommended Liang Xiu, or listened to Liang Xiu's suggestion, it can be seen that Fa Sheng thinks that you can't sit on the top just by talent, you know, there is talent but no virtue, and villains are also, it can be seen that Fa Sheng's opinion is naturally to recommend the person who sits in the first position, I don't know if Fa Sheng means this? β
Chen Fan never expected that this Lin Jun actually kicked the ball at his feet again, but he couldn't help but say that what Lin Jun said still has a certain amount of truth, and if you want to say that you can only learn to sit on the top, then Chen Fan also disapproves. A person can sit on the top just by virtue of his talent, doesn't that mean that to be an emperor must be the strongest person in civil and military affairs, but in history, there are several emperors who are literary and military, and they often rely on people.
But Chen Fan is not ready to support Lin Jun immediately, the reason is very simple, this guy is too troublesome, which does not match the feeling he gives people at all, why can't people have a meal with peace of mind? Of course, I was not prepared to offend him.
At that moment, Chen Fan said: "I am very happy to be fortunate to meet you today, but if you want to recommend someone to sit on the head, then I am very afraid, I just said that if I recommend, I will definitely recommend Brother Liang, not that everyone is bad, but just because I met you for the first time, I don't know much about it, please forgive me." β
Chen Fan neither said support nor opposition, only said that he was not very afraid, and some words were not easy to say, so it depended on whether Xu Zhen would answer.
"Since Fa Sheng said it, if it is recommended, he is very afraid, he wants to meet for the first time, and Lin Lang is not willing to make the newcomers panic, right? If you don't dare to compare, just say it directly, don't shirk it with clever words. Xu Zhen finally took Chen Fan's words directly and said to Lin Jun.
"I'm scared, that's Fa Sheng's humble statement, hasn't Fa Sheng already recommended Liang Xiu?" Lin Jun asked rhetorically. In Lin Jun's opinion, Fa Sheng, as a newcomer, is thin-skinned, so it is okay to express his position like this, after all, he didn't send it right, and he made it clear that he recommended Liang Xiu, which was already done according to his intentions, but this Xu Zhen made a fuss about other people's modest statements, which was simply hateful.
"Then you mean, you just don't dare to compare?" Xu Zhen didn't reply to Lin Jun's question directly at all, but grabbed Lin Jun's question that didn't answer the question and continued to ask.
In the face of Xu Zhen's aggressive momentum, Lin Jun finally got a little angry, and took the opportunity to sarcastically mock Xu Zhen, and sat in the first seat shamelessly, but he didn't expect it to lead to a competition. If he didn't compare, others would think that he was inferior to him, and he would lose in momentum, and at this time, a few little servants came in with dishes, and the dinner party finally began.
Seeing the little guy, Lin Jun finally had inspiration, and faced Xu Zhen, who was staring at him, and said unhurriedly: "Since Xu Lang understands the meaning of Fa Sheng in this way, I want to come to Xu Lang This is a skill itch, and I want to find someone to try it." I have a subordinate, martial arts are not bad, just outside the pavilion, why don't you let him accompany Xu Lang to make two moves, if Xu Lang wins, this seat will belong to you, if you lose, if your seat will let my subordinates sit, how? β
In an instant, Chen Fan felt that the temperature in the room was a few degrees lower, Lin Jun's words were extremely insulting, this was to reduce Xu Zhen's identity to the same as Lin Jun's subordinates, if it was an ordinary person, but this Xu Zhen looked at it, it was obviously not an ordinary person, it is estimated that this Xu Zhen will definitely not bear it!
Sure enough, Chen Fan looked at it and saw that this Xu Zhen was exuding a fierce momentum, and said word by word: "You call someone to come up and try!" β
The atmosphere froze suddenly, if this Lin Jun dares to shout, look at this posture, Xu Zhen will shoot directly at this Lin Jun, that version is likely to be that Lin Jun wants his subordinates to fight with Xu Zhen, Xu Zhen does not agree, and directly fights with Lin Jun, if the two of them make a move, and then someone makes a move, it will become Lin Jun who can't beat Xu Zhen, and call someone to come up to help, if this Lin Jun calls someone up, it's better to say if he wins, if he loses, the face and etiquette are all gone; If Lin Jun didn't dare to shout, the version was that Lin Jun was threatened by Xu Zhen and coaxed, and he would definitely lose face.
Chen Fan didn't expect that Xu Zhen didn't answer Lin Jun's words at all, but directly asked Lin Jun to try it, it was just terrible, if you want to talk about words, maybe Xu Zhen can't say Lin Jun, but Xu Zhen's self-confidence and domineering are something that Lin Jun can't play.
If you really want to make a move, others don't know, but Lin Jun knows, this Xu Zhen's martial arts are really powerful, his own subordinates can indeed make two moves with him, but if he joins forces with himself, if he wants to say that he will win, it is not necessarily, the key is that before his subordinates come up, he still has to block Xu Zhen's offensive, which is also a little difficult, and also, who calls his subordinates up, can he call someone, then no matter whether he wins or loses, he loses face. Lin Jun feels a little difficult again!
What made Chen Fan feel strange was that the atmosphere was already so tense, but the people next to him didn't mean to persuade at all, just sat quietly and watched quietly, completely irrelevant to themselves, hanging high. It seems that this Lin Jun's personality is not very good, otherwise why don't the people next to him go up to help, and completely let Lin Jun resist alone. Even Liang Xiu next to him didn't have the slightest intention of interfering.
The servants who served the food also felt the tension of the atmosphere, quickly put down the dishes, and hurriedly went downstairs. Looking at the little guys who went downstairs, Lin Jun's inspiration reappeared, only to see him shake his head lightly, and said: "Even if you want to compare, I won't agree to compare on the second floor of this pavilion, you stomp your feet, this floor is estimated to collapse, what kind of system is that?" To compare, go downstairs to compare. β
Chen Fan obviously felt that Xu Zhen's momentum was stagnant, Lin Jun's words were very level, if he did it upstairs, it would obviously lack etiquette, affect the people downstairs not to talk about dining, and destroy the floor of the master's house, that is, disrespect the master. If Lin Jun hadn't said this, Xu Zhen could have regarded it as ignorance, or hadn't taken it into account, and others would have commented at most that he was a little impulsive, but now that Lin Jun said it, if he wants to do it again, it would be rude. In the era of paying attention to etiquette, if people are named as not knowing etiquette, it is a lack of virtue, and it will be extremely difficult to come out again.
Fortunately, although Xu Zhen is imposing, she is not a brainless person, and said: "If you are afraid, I can let you go." β
"I'm a Zhili, do you understand?" Lin Jun fought back.
This is tantamount to returning to the starting point of the conflict, Chen Fan estimates that the two will not be able to fight, and they don't have to think about it to know that neither of them will go downstairs first, one will not dare, and the other will not be stupid. I saw Liang Xiu and a few of them, looking at each other, everyone smiled slightly, that means, it really didn't fight, it seems that these two people have quarreled many times, but they didn't make a move.
At this time, everyone heard the sound of moving chopsticks, looking for the sound of everyone, only to see Yajun picked up the chopsticks on the table, was picking up the vegetables, seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, the chopsticks holding the dishes were condensed in the air, smiled a little embarrassed, nodded at everyone and said, "I'm hungry." β
Just these three words, "I'm hungry", instantly swept away the tension just now, Yajun's cleverness lies in not saying "I ate first", but starting from human instinct, saying "I'm hungry", which means something completely different. "I ate first" means that I don't wait for you, I eat first, and you eat later, which has an element of disrespect for people, and whoever listens to it will not be happy. But "I'm hungry", it's completely different, people have to eat when they're hungry, you don't have to eat, you don't have to eat, I'm hungry, I eat, there is no respect or disrespect here, but people return to instinct, according to their nature, reflecting the straightforwardness, naΓ―ve, others want to get angry, there is no place to send it, you can't care about other people's stomachs are not hungry!
When Xu Zhen heard this, her sharp expression became a little soft, and she ignored Lin Jun, picked up the chopsticks and ate them. It is estimated that he was still a little proud when he ate, because Chen Fan saw that the corners of Xu Zhen's eyebrows still had a hint of a smile, maybe it was with him, I also ate first, or I ate in the first place, what kind of mood can you take with me, start eating first, this may be a counterattack and provocation against Lin Jun with actions.
Seeing that Xu Zhen didn't answer, Lin Jun simply pretended not to see Xu Zhen's movements, looked at Yajun and said, "Yajun is really a wonderful person!" I'm hungry too, I guess everyone is hungry too, let's eat. As he spoke, he also moved to grab chopsticks to eat.
Everyone actually felt a little hungry, but just now, Xu Zhen and Lin Jun were tense, and no one was embarrassed to disturb them, for fear of provoking fire. Yajun, who was the first to pick up chopsticks, was not the first person to eat it, life is so wonderful.
During the meal, no one spoke, and they really didn't eat and sleep.
Just when everyone was eating a cup of tea, Lu Yan walked upstairs, followed by two small servants, one holding a big jar, the other holding a stacked bowl, and a long bucket spoon, no need to ask, there must be wine in the jar.
Sure enough, I heard Lu Yan say, "Ladies and gentlemen, drinking on an empty stomach hurts your body, I see that everyone has also eaten for a while, and after a little belly, I will drink some wine to help the fun." Ah Sheng, come and fill it up for everyone. β
"Okay, Lord Lang." The guy in the back said. Then open the wine jar, not to mention, a burst of wine aroma, it seems that this wine is quite expensive.
Lu Yan had already sat down in front of the empty main desk at this time, and when he saw that the little servant had brought everyone a full bowl of wine, he said, "Come, everyone's done!" Here today, if you are drunk, you will rest, and if you are not drunk, you will not return. β
Chen Fan really didn't want to do it, in Chen Fan's opinion, drinking wine was tasting, drinking slowly, drinking pleasantly, but Dean Lu came to toast in person, and everyone else picked up their wine glasses, it was not good if they didn't do it, but in this body, it should be no problem to drink two or three bowls, and they did it immediately.
A strong and mellow aroma of wine went straight into the internal organs, and at the same time, there was a hot and spicy feeling, the throat was a little spicy, this wine was much stronger than drinking in the old attic restaurant, Chen Fan was a little unaccustomed.
"How's it going, is this wine okay?" Lu Yan saw that everyone drank and asked.
"Good wine, strong aroma, sweet in the mouth, mellow in drink, it seems that this is the dean's treasure for many years." What Chen Fan didn't expect was that the first person to return to Lu to check his words was not Lin Jun, who looked gentle, but Xu Zhen, who seemed to be silent.
"Yes, or Xu Zhen knows the goods, this wine is brewed with snow water, buried in the ground for five years, just taken out some time ago, let everyone taste it today, you are not allowed to leave if you don't drink this jar." Lu Yan said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
