Chapter 217: Feng Sheng and Qiao Sheng
"This is Song Ming, this is Li Huai, this is Sun Changqing" Wu Kongming introduced the other three people around Ma Yuming to Meng Changsheng, these three are all the sons of the prefect, although they are not as good as Ma Yuming and Wu Kongming, but they are definitely the children of high-ranking officials: "Brother Meng!" "Brother Meng!"
The three of them took the initiative to greet Meng Changsheng, looking very polite, the three of them actually didn't know the identity of Meng Changsheng, but seeing that Meng Changsheng and Wu Kongming seemed to have a good relationship, and Ma Yuming was also polite to Meng Changsheng, guessing that Meng Changsheng should be very polite, and he was also very polite to Meng Changsheng, and Meng Changsheng was also a polite return gift.
"This is Jin Yang, this is Li Pingsheng. Wu Kongming introduced the two young men on the right to Meng Changsheng, these two people are not the children of the official family, but the sons of rich families, and they are not rich people who are only rich in the small place of one acre and three points of land in Chen County like the Zhao family at the beginning, but the rich children who are famous in the whole of Hangzhou and even in the south of the Yangtze River: "Brother Meng!" "Fortunately, I will be lucky!"
Compared with Ma Yuming and Song Ming, Jin Yang and Li Pingsheng are undoubtedly more polite to Meng Changsheng, even with a kind of flattery, the status of businessmen in the ancients was low, and the same is true in this world, especially compared to officials, the status of businessmen is low.
In this world, the status is particularly obvious, and people are more in awe of the status in their hearts, although Jin Yang and Li Pingsheng are rich sons, they are naturally high in front of ordinary people, but in front of Ma Yuming and Song Ming, these high-ranking officials are a little insufficient, to be shorter, naturally, seeing that several people are so polite to Meng Changsheng, the two of them dare not make a mistake, and even have a flattering mind in their hearts.
Meng Changsheng also politely greeted the two of them, and then looked at the last two, ten people at a table, Meng Changsheng felt that except for Wu Kongming, these two people were the most eye-catching, one of them was because of his temperament, and the other was completely because of his dress.
"This is Feng Sheng, this is Qiao Sheng..."Wu Kongming introduced the two to Meng Changsheng, Feng Changsheng is not particularly handsome, he can only be regarded as handsome, but his temperament is extraordinarily outstanding, and a word involuntarily pops up in people's minds at the first impression - gentleman is like jade!
In comparison, Qiao Sheng is much more ordinary, not tall, and his appearance can only be regarded as ordinary, wearing a washed white gray Confucian shirt, he is completely like an ordinary poor scholar, sitting in a group, he is also the most conspicuous and prominent, without him, he is too poor and sour.
"Feng Sheng, Qiao Sheng, isn't it the male pig's feet in Liancheng and Xin Shi Niang in Liaozhai..."
Meng Changsheng's face didn't change much, but his heart moved, and at this time, the two of them also greeted him.
"Brother Meng!" Feng Sheng arched his hand and said politely, and Qiao Sheng also bowed his hand: "Brother Meng!"
The two greeted each other politely, but it was only out of politeness, and they were not as polite or even flattering as Jin Yang and the others before, but this polite way of greeting made Meng Changsheng feel more natural, and he also smiled and arched his hand to the two in response!
Getting to know each other, driven by Wu Kongming, the atmosphere on the table quickly became warmer, and Meng Changsheng could clearly feel that not all the people on the table had a good relationship, such as Qiao Sheng, whether it was Jin Yang and Li Pingsheng, the two rich children, or Ma Yuming and Song Ming, the four children of high-ranking officials, they basically didn't talk to him.
Meng Changsheng could even clearly feel that these people had a kind of contempt for Qiao Sheng, it was estimated that if they didn't usually sit together like this to eat and drink, even if they saw Jin Yang and the others on the road, they might not look at Qiao Sheng squarely, this is a kind of contempt, the contempt of the rich and noble children for ordinary people.
However, because of Wu Kongming's presence, the group was also amiable when talking at the wine table, Qiao Sheng was also a frank person, and he did not feel ashamed or other thoughts because of the contempt of Ma Yuming and the others, except for talking less, drinking and eating food, calmly.
"Brother Meng is a person from Langya, how could he come to Hangzhou Academy thousands of miles away and not go to Langya Academy, as far as I know, although Langya Academy is a little worse than Hangzhou, but it is also a rare institution in the world, if Brother Meng is studying in Langya Academy, wouldn't it be closer, could it be that there are other reasons?"
At the wine table, Ma Yuming looked at Meng Changsheng and asked, his tone was calm and polite, as if he asked casually, but Meng Changsheng heard that Ma Yuming obviously took his words again, and the last sentence revealed Ma Yuming's thoughts, Meng Changsheng knew that this person should guess his identity but was not sure.
Ma Yuming's mind Dream Changsheng is clear, and Wu Kongming next to him is also clear, but Wu Kongming doesn't say much about this matter, he also guessed the identity of Meng Changsheng but he didn't think about it like Ma Yuming to set up Dream Changsheng, because such a bad thing is easy to cause bad feelings, at this point, Wu Kongming is undoubtedly more cautious than Ma Yuming.
"The four major academies in the south of the Yangtze River, who in the world does not know when Hangzhou Academy is the head, if you make a choice, I think there are few students in the world who are willing to put Hangzhou Academy without choosing and choose other academies, although it is far away, but it is also some feet on the kung fu, my generation of students, since the study first, there are ancient sages for reading and learning, the head hangs the beam, the taper thorn strand, in comparison, in the next but more foot effort, what is it?"
Meng Changsheng is indeed a little disgusted with Ma Yuming's self-made clever clichés, if Ma Yuming directly finds an opportunity to ask him about his identity in private, he will feel better, but this kind of tricky behavior is as easy to cliché as if he thinks he is a fool, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable.
Therefore, Meng Changsheng did not answer Ma Yuming's question directly, but spoke directly, which seemed to be righteous, but for Ma Yuming, there was undoubtedly a soft nail.
The subtext is that I came to Hangzhou Academy thousands of miles away to study, and the sages were able to hang their heads and stab their heads in order to study, but you Ma Yuming felt that reading was not so important, there was no need to go so far, and even the sages' behavior of hanging beams and stabbing strands was completely unnecessary.
Several people present also heard the soft nails in Meng Changsheng's words almost instantly, but they didn't say much, except for a trace of unnaturalness flashing on Ma Yuming's face, but not everyone heard the subtext and soft nails in Meng Changsheng's words.
Qiao Sheng is a poor monk, although he lives in poverty, he has not experienced too much deception in life, and he has been studying since he was a child, and his emotional intelligence is far inferior to a few people present, so when he heard Meng Changsheng's words, he didn't realize the soft nails in Meng Changsheng's words, but he just felt that Meng Changsheng's words had an appetite for him, and he immediately agreed.
"It's a good sentence but it's hard work, Brother Meng has traveled thousands of miles to study, and his heart to study is admired by Ming!"
Ling Ming is Qiao Sheng's word, he originally had an ordinary sense of Meng Changsheng, but when he heard Meng Changsheng's words, he really thought that Meng Changsheng was also a person who was dedicated to studying, and he only felt that he had met a bosom friend, and he had a feeling that he was not alone, and he also had a feeling of sympathy for Meng Changsheng, and he immediately felt it.
However, his answer made Ma Yuming, who was already a little unnatural, even more unhappy, although Qiao Sheng's words were not aimed at him, but Meng Changsheng's soft nail was aimed at him, and Qiao Sheng's answer naturally came to him.
Immediately, Ma Yuming glanced at Qiao Sheng, although he was calm, everyone could feel a trace of gloom from Ma Yuming's gaze at Qiao Sheng at this moment.
Feng Sheng, who was next to Qiao Sheng, gently pulled Qiao Sheng without leaving a trace, but Qiao Sheng glanced at Feng Sheng suspiciously, and was a little inexplicable, completely unaware that he had inadvertently offended Ma Yuming.
Fortunately, Ma Yuming didn't have a seizure, Wu Kong Ming saw that the situation was a little wrong and felt that he had found a topic to move away, and after a short period of calm, the atmosphere on the table became lively, and at this time, the people at the other tables also began to come over to join in the fun, and talk about wine.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the attic is getting more and more enthusiastic, the group is all literati students, and there are few talents, and the rise of chatting can't help but be full of poetry, and one by one they can't help but start writing poems and words, and writing about wine.
For a while, the atmosphere in the attic was pushed to a climax, a group of people chanted the wind and the moon, you called me to drink, so lively.
