Chapter 82: Press down the gourd
"Miss, the third son is here."
Cheng Yuguan was reading the account book in the Banpo Mountain Pavilion of Banpo Hall, and suddenly, Liuyun reported.
Cheng Yuguan closed the account book, but saw Cheng Lang, who had always been comfortable and neat, and his eyebrows were lightly sad.
Cheng Yuguan couldn't help but "tsk", and couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied and jealous like an old mother.
Because Cheng Yuguan was a human being in two lives, he looked at Cheng Lang as if he was a brother since he was a child.
Now that it is easy to raise to the age of teenagers, it is the time to grow up and be high-spirited, but he has made himself feel sad for the sake of a "woman".
The family solves problems for him, and he is good, worrying about others.
Cheng Yuguan saw Cheng Lang's sad face in his eyes, but ignored it and only told him something else.
"I just came back from Bingzhou, and the big horse bandit force in Bingzhou has been removed, and I have already found a shopkeeper to lay the counter at Xinling Pass, but he is a newcomer after all, and he can't control the proportions, and he needs a master to support him."
As he spoke, Cheng Yuguan lifted up from the account book, put down the brush in his hand, and looked at Cheng Lang.
When the third cousin returned from Jingzhou, he also said that he didn't like the restraint of the capital. This time, I will give the third cousin a chance, this Xinling Pass, let the third cousin go, how about it? ”
Cheng Yuguan's words were undoubted, Cheng Lang opened his mouth when he heard this, but he didn't immediately agree.
This was very unusual in the past.
Facing Cheng Yuguan's puzzled gaze, Cheng Lang knew that he couldn't hide anything from his little sister's eyes, so he simply told the truth.
"Little sister, you just came back from Bingzhou, I don't understand. These days, Xu Zhiyun, who came from the south of Yizhou, jumped up and down, causing dissatisfaction among everyone in the capital, but because of the identity of Xu Guogong in Yizhou, no one pointed it out in person. ”
As he spoke, Cheng Lang slapped the table.
"Little sister, you don't know, this Qingfeng Building has always been our territory, but now it has been occupied by Xu Zhiyun, and it has been occupied for three months."
"Little sister, you say, isn't it too much?"
Facing Cheng Lang's angry appearance, Cheng Yuguan shook his head calmly.
"Qingfeng Building is a famous building in Beijing, and those who are talented get it. He who has wealth also receives. ”
Seeing that Cheng Yuguan was so calm, Cheng Lang's expression was even more exaggerated.
"Little sister, we are the hometown of the capital, but now we have let a newcomer be in the limelight, don't you feel aggrieved?"
What he said was so brainless that Liuyun couldn't listen to it anymore.
"Third son, are you talking about Cheng Yulou's grievances and thoughts? How is Miss a person, how can she be aggrieved for such a thing? Besides, if the young lady makes a move, it is impossible for others to snatch it! ”
Liuyun's voice fell, and Cheng Lang's angry momentum paused for a moment, before he suddenly reacted and scratched his head.
"Little sister is amazing, Liuyun doesn't need you to say that I know."
Cheng Lang said what he had just said, and then he was a little embarrassed when he faced Cheng Yuguan, so he turned to speak to Liuyun.
Seeing this, Liuyun couldn't help but roll his eyes.
It's not that she doesn't respect the third son, but Cheng Lang is often short-term, and he is always unlucky for outsiders to come to her own miss, which is really unsightly.
Seeing that Liuyun ignored him, Cheng Lang scratched his head in embarrassment and looked at Cheng Yuguan again.
"Little sister, you have always had an idea, why don't you go to Qingfeng Building and snatch Qingfeng Building back for us? Ming'er is Shuori Poetry Club again, if the Xiaohe Poetry Society can't hold a poetry meeting in Qingfeng Building as scheduled, and then rely on Xu Zhiyun's charity, after that, everyone in the Xiaohe Poetry Society may only recognize Xu Zhiyun, not Cheng Yulou. ”
As he spoke, Cheng Lang slapped his thigh and said hatefully.
Seeing that Cheng Yulou's family background is not as good as Xu Zhiyun's, and the five princes are close to Xu Zhiyun, they will stay away from Cheng Yulou and turn to Xu Zhiyun's stinky feet! These people are thinking differently, I have to set up Qingfeng Building for Cheng Yulou, so that they can be ashamed! ”
Cheng Lang knew that it was useless to play tricks in front of Cheng Yuguan, so he simply told Cheng Yulou about it.
After speaking, he stared at Cheng Yuguan with a skewed face, trying to make Cheng Yuguan carry him around and wipe his ass as before.
Liuyun snorted, turned his head angrily, and didn't want to look at Cheng Lang.
Cheng Yuguan held his head and thought for a moment.
Cheng Lang looked at Cheng Yuguan's appearance, thinking that the little sister was trying to find a way for herself, and became more and more anxious.
"Little sister, what do you think of it? Can you tell me about it? ”
Cheng Yuguan originally wanted to send Cheng Lang out, but now seeing his eager appearance, Cheng Yu thought about it for a while, but agreed to come down.
"Liuyun, go and post to the shopkeeper Tong of Qingfeng Building, and tell him that I will charter all the small stages on the second and third floors of Qingfeng Building in Ming'er. Let him make sure to spare it for me. ”
As soon as Cheng Yuguan spoke, Liuyun opened his mouth wide in shock, and Cheng Lang was overjoyed after being surprised.
"Miss?"
"Little sister?"
"Great! I knew it! ”
Cheng Lang jumped up happily.
"I knew that my little sister felt sorry for me, and I felt sorry... Who's that. After all, you can't write a single word, and nothing that can't be undone between you has happened, so take this opportunity to just reconcile! ”
Cheng Lang spoke to himself, but Cheng Yuguan didn't reply, just looked at Liuyun.
"Go ahead."
The voice is calm and powerful.
When Liuyun heard this, the huge doubts in his heart turned into the execution of the young lady's order.
Watching Liuyun turn around and go out to the study to get the little sister's post, Cheng Lang naturally knew that the matter had been completed, and he couldn't sit still.
"Little sister, you are busy first, I have to go door to door to inform everyone, tell everyone that Ming'er is still Qingfeng Building, and the Cheng family is the host!"
After speaking, without waiting for Cheng Yuguan to speak, Cheng Lang ran away like a gust of wind.
It's a far cry from the sad look on my face when I came here just now.
Cheng Yuguan sat in the Banpo Mountain Pavilion, in March, the weather was fine, in the pine forest, a gust of spring breeze blew, bringing up the jade belt around Cheng Yuguan's waist.
Cheng Yuguan tucked his robe and belt, thoughtful, and tidy.
…
Shuori Poetry Meeting, the outstanding young people in the capital gathered together.
Cheng Yulou's Little Lotus Poetry Society has gathered many outstanding people, and now Miss Xu Zhiyun, a national prince in the south of Yizhou, has come to Beijing.
Those who have a heart and those who have no heart have taken advantage of this opportunity to rush here.
The third and second floors of Qingfeng Building were full of people around the small stage early in the morning.
Even in the lobby on the first floor, there are a lot of students who come to see the excitement.
The bustle of the capital is blowing, and the teenagers know it well.
The spacious Qingfeng Building, before the start of the poetry meeting, was lively and proclaiming.
It wasn't until Cheng Yulou took a few of the county lords of Fushan and reappeared on the small stage on the second floor that everyone was weirdly quiet for a moment, and then resumed its excitement in an instant.
After all, she is the first talented woman in the capital.
Xu Zhiyun stole the limelight a few times before, and this time he won the first place again, which is also deserved.
In everyone's hearts, there was both a sudden and a slight loss.
After all, the last few times Xu Zhiyun came forward, the reward of the gold has never been broken, and everyone has raised their appetites, so they are naturally unwilling to be "the blandness of the first talented woman".
The faces of everyone, Cheng Yuguan and Fushan knew it well.
"This Shuori Poetry Meeting, Caitou, is the collection of the King of Shunjun, a pair of Lei Jin Caifeng and Jin Hai!"
With a "hum", Qingfeng Lou trembled.
It stands to reason that the king of Shunjun and the eight poles of the golden hairpin can't fight, but the king of Shunjun loves to play and has a good vision, so under the complementarity of each other, the gold and silver building of the king of Shunjun's jewelry shop has become a famous product in the capital.
The jewelry inside is very popular with ladies and ladies.
If it is the collection of King Shunjun, needless to say, the preciousness of the golden hairpin should also be a weapon to please people.
For a while, everyone's hearts fluctuated.
Fushan Fucheng and Cheng Yulou glanced at each other, and couldn't help but feel proud.
A pair of gold hairpins is not more decent than a hundred taels of gold?
This comparison is obvious who is the nouveau riche from the borderlands.
Just when Cheng Yulou was a few proud, at the door of Qingfeng Building, there was another exclamation.
It turned out to be Xu Zhiyun and the fifth prince Li Ke, who came together.
Fushan's face changed, and he couldn't help but look at Cheng Yulou.
But he saw that Cheng Yulou's face did not move, as if he did not see the five princes.
"Miss Xu and the five princes are here, please go upstairs, our poetry meeting will start soon."
Cheng Lang and a few brothers are on the side of the small stage on the second floor, and the location is the best.
Originally, he had a light on his face and enjoyed the compliments of others, but when he saw Xu Zhiyun and the fifth prince, he immediately sank his face.
Got up and said hello loudly.
, Cheng Lang is from Bingzhou, and he is not famous, so he is a fresh face in the Shuori Poetry Club in Qingfeng Building.
At this time, he stood up for Cheng Yulou, which made people can't help but look sideways.
"The brother-in-law of the fourth prince, the third brother of Cheng Yuguan, and the cousin of Cheng Yulou."
Someone whispered popular science.
There is no shortage of bright-eyed people in the capital, so although Cheng Lang is outstanding, everyone is still very face-saving and does not coax people away.
Li Ke glanced at Cheng Lang upstairs, lowered his head expressionlessly, and looked at Xu Zhiyun.
"Miss Xu, please!"
The voice is gentle and the gesture is considerate.
Seeing this, Xu Zhiyun lowered his head and smiled shyly, lifted the corner of his skirt and went to the second floor.
As the "protagonists" of Qingfeng Building gather more and more, the scene becomes more and more lively.
Seeing that the voices were boiling, Cheng Lang got up again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the Shuori Poetry Club, Caitou Lei Jin, Caifeng Jin Hai is still waiting for you, let's invite the Yulou girl to ask the question!"
Cheng Lang was tall and handsome, and his Qingyue voice said loudly, and everyone only listened with a smile, looked at Cheng Yulou, and listened to the topic of this poetry meeting.
After all, although the gossip is good, it is not as real as the golden hairpin.
However, I heard that earlier, Cheng Yuguan was not very compatible with Cheng Hou's Mansion, and he was even out of General Cheng's house.
Now it seems that the relationship between Cheng Yuguan and Cheng Hou Mansion is unknown, and General Cheng Mansion, from the third son Cheng Lang, should have a good relationship with Cheng Hou Mansion.
After all, these brothers and sisters still have a weak relationship.
Cheng Lang and Cheng Yulou are just cousins, and they have attracted Cheng Lang to stand up for Cheng Yulou three times and five times, and their biological brothers and sisters are nothing more than that.
There was a lot of talking.
Cheng Yulou looked at Cheng Lang and smiled, and Cheng Lang was suddenly complacent.
This kind of moment of being grateful for helping others made Cheng Lang only feel that everything he did was worth it.
"Ladies and gentlemen! …”
"Everyone, everyone, it's been a moment!"
As soon as Cheng Yulou's voice came out, downstairs, the shopkeeper of Qingfeng Lou came forward and confessed loudly, covering Cheng Yulou's voice.
Although Qingfeng Building is the Ming Building in the capital, the shopkeeper of Qingfeng Building is only the ninth rate.
Cheng Yulou was interrupted many times, the five princes of Xu Zhiyun just now, and Cheng Lang could bear it, but a shopkeeper dared to interrupt the noblewoman's speech.
Cheng Yu looked at the shopkeeper with a kind smile on the floor to show his demeanor, but there was already a fire inside.
"Alas, shopkeeper, there is something to celebrate, and I will talk about it later. We're all in the Readers' Poetry Club here, waiting for the main master to come up with the question? ”
It was Cheng Lang who came forward to greet him and asked the shopkeeper to get out of the way.
The shopkeeper's Tuan Tuan had a white and fat smiling face and bowed his hand to Cheng Lang on the second floor.
"Cheng Gongzi, Sister Ling didn't tell you, is it a spring banquet today?"
Seeing Cheng Lang scratching his head, he really didn't know.
Cheng Yulou's face was stiff, and the shopkeeper smiled and explained.
"Miss Cheng Yuguan, charter Qingfeng Building and set up a spring banquet. Regardless of whether you are reading or not, no matter the splendid clothes, as long as you enter the door to tell a good word for spring, you can occupy a seat at the spring banquet, eat and go, it is called the spring flowing water banquet! Ladies and gentlemen, the auspicious time is coming, when it is noon, the wine and food are ready, and our spring banquet will officially begin! ”
As he spoke, the shopkeeper smiled endlessly, shook his hand, and motioned to Cheng Yuguan, who was in the window position on one side.
"This is the owner of the Flowing Water Spring Banquet, today, the owner has broken the bill!"
The shopkeeper's speech was festive and playful, but he explained the matter clearly in a few words.
On the lobby on the first floor, the people who were originally joining in the excitement cheered at the moment, and followed the shopkeeper to shout, "The owner is bankrupt, Miss Cheng is atmospheric!" ”
Outside Qingfeng Building, the people who were originally crowded to watch the excitement did not expect that there would be such a good thing, and they could eat for free, so they all rushed into the door.
While saying that spring is good, he bowed his hand to the direction of Cheng Yuguan and said that spring is good.
For a while, the people were lively, and even the students were infected, and they all told Cheng Yuguan about spring.
Cheng Yulou, Cheng Lang, and even the five princes, Xu Zhiyun, these sons of the family, are on the small stage on the second floor at the moment, completely sitting on wax.
The audience is gone, and no one has the heart to participate, so this poetry meeting, don't do it!
Facing this scene, the five princes smiled angrily.
said goodbye first, bowed his hand to Cheng Yuguan, and left with his sleeves.
Then, Xu Zhiyun also left with a smile.
Fucheng Fushan handed over several handkerchiefs of Cheng Yulou to the nobles, and it was embarrassing to stay, so they left one after another.
In the blink of an eye, the spring banquet opened lively, but Cheng Lang and Cheng Yulou became completely alone.
"Big sister, I know you don't like me, but you don't have to humiliate me so much!"
After Cheng Yulou finished speaking, he couldn't bear to see the poetry club that had just turned into a vulgar and lively wine and meat feast, and he threw his sleeves and covered his face and left.
Cheng Lang was shocked and angry, and only sneered.
From childhood to adulthood, he can only do it if his little sister promises.
The little sister is unwilling, just like now, to become a farce.
Cheng Lang smiled bitterly and looked at Cheng Wuxing.
"Little sister, I know that I've gotten closer to Chenghou Mansion recently, but I just look like they're cousins. Thou shalt not spend all this money on what spring feast you invite these rough men to eat. ”
Cheng Lang's gaze swept over the lobby, gobbling up everyone, with obvious contempt in his eyes.
The shopkeeper of Qingfeng Building stood beside Cheng Yuguan and shook his head when he heard this.
"The eldest lady is comfortable and generous, doing business and doing things, and being a person, which makes people not say, why is my brother so unconscious?"
The shopkeeper's thoughts are only in his heart, and he still has a smile on his face.
Cheng Yuguan didn't have the ease of watching a play like a shopkeeper, but looked at Cheng Lang.
"Third brother, the building is also set, the meal has been eaten, and you should also go on the road. The shopkeeper of Xinling Pass is still waiting for the third brother! ”
