Now the autumn harvest is approaching.

The men who were recruited were also sent home.

Wang Xianling concentrated on official affairs at the county office every day, and looked forward to receiving the documents from the officials as soon as possible.

Chen Ping was also recommended to participate in the children's festival because of his success, so he only needed to wait for the good news and study the text with peace of mind every day.

As for Ye Lao himself, he was planning for the repair of the official road, and he was idle once the matter was completed.

Naturally, there is no need for the two of them to continue to stay in the county office.

A few days later, he said goodbye to the reluctant Wang County Order, and returned to the academy in the carriage of the county government.

Just arrived in front of the academy.

While he was still in the carriage, he heard the voices of Li Yang, Li Feng and several other gentlemen outside.

Chen Ping poked his head out and looked out, suddenly shocked.

The people who came to greet him were not only a few gentlemen, but also a group of squires in Qingsong Town, including Wang Juren.

Although the classmates of Huating Academy could not squeeze in front, they also probed their brains behind the gate and whispered.

Two of the familiar figures leaned out half of their bodies.

It was Ye Chongwen and He Qingxuan who were full of excitement.

As soon as the two saw Chen Ping, they greeted each other with winks in their eyes.

As soon as he got off the car, he could see his friends who had been away for a few days, and Chen Ping was also overjoyed.

I immediately wanted to slip out of the carriage and catch up with them.

But he didn't want Ye Lao to pull Chen Ping down, and then gently closed the curtain.

Ye Lao blew his beard angrily, glared at him and said.

"Do you think those people outside the door are just here to greet me?"

Looking at Chen Ping's puzzled eyes, Ye Lao laughed angrily, and couldn't help but knock on his little brain.

said: "You can participate in the children's competition, which means that our Huating Academy has produced an undoubted prodigy." ”

"This event will not only make the college famous, but also bring many tangible benefits to the college."

"These squires are not only here to pick you up from me, but also to hold a banquet to celebrate this, how can you run at this time?"

Chen Ping suddenly understood, but he really didn't want to stay with a group of old men.

Especially as the protagonist of the banquet.

It is foreseeable that at the banquet, it is nothing more than the exhortation of those ears who hear the calloon.

"Now the future is immeasurable, if you soar in the future, don't forget Huating Academy; Although he has won the name of a prodigy, he must not slack off, he must work harder and live up to everyone's expectations; Huating Academy has this prodigy, it is really a godsend......"

It's a lot of talk.

Being reprimanded by these old men in turn is like a punishment!

Chen Ping just wanted to find his friends to play happily for a day to reward him for many days of hard study.

Ye Lao's vision was so sharp, how could he not see through Chen Ping's careful thoughts.

With a slight compromise, he said, "Wait obediently for the banquet, I'll call both of them, satisfied, right?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Ping stopped struggling.

He sat back quietly with a big smile on his face.

How could he not know that this banquet was absolutely doomed.

What I did before was just to find an excuse for the two friends to get involved.

Ye Lao suddenly realized that he had fallen into the trap, and he couldn't help but twitch.

Another popping chestnut was rewarded.

"People are small and big, they dare to calculate the old man, they should be beaten!"

After a heavy beating, Chen Ping wailed a few times.

Ye Lao looked at this disciple who was more and more good at messing around, although he reprimanded him, but he felt a burst of relief in his heart.

He has always wanted Chen Ping to release his childlike nature, and now it seems to have been quite effective.

In comparison, Chen Ping's progress in arithmetic and articles is less important.

......

The celebratory banquet has already been arranged.

Chen Ping and Ye Lao just washed up, changed their clothes and were invited to the restaurant.

Qingsong Town is a small place, and there are only a few squires, plus the gentleman of Huating Academy, and Chen Ping's two friends, there are only more than 20 people in total.

Those who were not very familiar with Chen Ping were also quite knowledgeable, and did not show excessive eagerness, only courtesy congratulations.

exchanged names with Chen Ping and got acquainted with each other, and then toasted a few rounds before leaving.

Chen Ping also behaved calmly and decently, and dealt with it easily.

The banquet lasted less than half an hour, and the people were almost dispersed.

Only Ye Lao, Li Yang, Li Feng, and Chen Ping were left at the scene.

Seeing that the strangers were all gone, Chen Ping finally let go of his restraints.

Even the wine that had never been touched before, Chen Ping began to be eager to try, and from time to time he cast a tentative glance at Ye Lao.

Of course, Chen Ping would not directly ask Ye Lao for a drink.

Because he knew that he was still young, Ye Lao would never agree to this matter before he got drunk.

But Chen Ping is not out of tricks.

He rolled his eyes a few times, and then gestured to He Qingxuan beside him with his eyes.

Although He Qingxuan is not as smart as Chen Ping, he is also a clever person.

Looking at Chen Ping, who was squeezing his eyebrows, and Ye Chongwen's little hand that quietly reached into the wine glass, he suddenly understood.

Drink wine in a big bowl and eat meat in a big mouthful.

What boy doesn't have the longing to break into the rivers and lakes.

No matter how much adults warn that alcohol is not a good thing, it can't resist the curiosity of children.

If what is said is true, why is it that almost all of them are good at drinking, but they are not happy at all banquets.

The three friends relied on eye contact and reached a consensus silently.

In order to successfully get the wine glass, start to cooperate.

First of all, He Qingxuan, who is the oldest and skillful, took the initiative to lift the wine jug and fill everyone's cups first.

Then he congratulated Ye Lao and said: "It was the student who was stupid before, and I thought that you had taken Chen Ping as a closed disciple, but you had the wrong eye, and I was indignant about it. ”

"Now it seems that it is your eyes that can detect talents early."

"It's just because the student is not old enough, otherwise he has to punish himself with three cups!"

As soon as these words came out, Ye Lao smiled crookedly.

He Qingxuan's words did tickle him in one sentence.

Among all the things he has done in recent years, accepting Chen Ping as a closed disciple is definitely the thing that makes him the proudest.

Even helping Wang County Order sort out the account books and plan to build roads can only be ranked below this matter.

Listening to Ye Lao's arrogant laughter, Li Yang, who was still a little sour in his heart, also took the opportunity to coax.

"If the students can't drink it, let the teacher drink it. If I can receive such a disciple, even a hundred cups and a thousand cups are not much! ”

After saying that, he and Li Feng glanced at each other, and the wine was so prosperous that the two of them worked together and began to persuade Ye Lao to drink in turn.

Ye Lao was also in his heart at this time, and he wanted to borrow wine to help the fun.

But at his age, where can he withstand the wheel war, and after a while, his face turned crimson and he was seven points drunk.

Li Yang and Li Feng also drank a lot together.

At this time, the three of them, who had been silent, finally couldn't help but sneak towards the wine glass.
