Chapter 9: Rushing to Death

Because there was no room at home that could be used as a banquet, Huang Liang could only choose the day to feast on the sixth child and Luo Zhutou in the afternoon of the next day, in the courtyard. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info accompanied Zhong Ling to send four-color dim sum to the sixth brother's house, and explained to the sixth brother and six sisters-in-law about the banquet at home at noon, and at the same time troubled the sixth brother to take Zhong Shan to invite Luo Zhutou to take care of Zhong Shan's behavior and speak.

The sixth patted his chest and promised that he would definitely invite Luo Zhutou to come, as for the banquet, the sixth child left his mother-in-law and personally accompanied the two to the restaurant to book a banquet. In the laughter and scolding of his mother-in-law, the old six monkeys in coarse cloth and short shirts generally came out of the yard and followed the two out of the front street.

Laifeng Building has three floors high, red carved beams and painted buildings, lanterns with high eaves of the corridor, scholars leaning against the window to taste wine, the wine guests are staggered, and the shouting and summoning of the second child is lively.

In front of the counter of the restaurant, in front of the sixth child, Huang Liang was embarrassed to order a medium seat, and in the middle of Zhong Ling's frowning little brows, Huang Liang opened his mouth and ordered a high-quality banquet, asked for a few bottles of ordinary liquor, and asked the restaurant to pack and send it to Huang Liang's house on the street.

The shopkeeper's sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, a lock of mustache, the abacus crackled, put down the abacus, and looked at Huang Liang with a smile, "Mr. Xiao Huang, Chenghui is 1,455 yuan, for the sake of your yamen scribe's face, I will accept you 1,400 yuan." ”

Huang Liang touched the thousand coins in his money bag, and secretly said that he was lucky to bring Zhong Ling's money bag out, otherwise he would be embarrassed now.

The shopkeeper's eyes rolled, and he looked at Huang Liang and touched the money bag, and understood that the money Huang Liang brought was not enough, and he shook his eight-character nonsense, and the hand that pulled the abacus beads couldn't help but stop, and looked at Zhong Ling and Huang Liang carefully, and then looked at the sixth child who entered the restaurant with Huang Liang and the two of them.

A trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of the eight-character bearded shopkeeper, I heard that this Huang Liang had no background, looking at the appearance of his companion, coarse cloth and short shirts, he was also a hillbilly.

The eight-character Hu skimmed one by one, and the shopkeeper's tone was modest with a hint of simplicity, "Mr. Xiao Huang, it's not a shame to not be able to afford a high-class banquet, we come to Fenglou and have a medium banquet for 500 yuan, and an ordinary banquet for 300 yuan, these two kinds of banquets are also good banquets." When it came to a good table, the shopkeeper deliberately elongated his tone, and his tone was a little meaningful.

Zhong Ling didn't follow what he said, and slammed his money bag on the table with a "snap", "Isn't it just 1,400 yuan, my family can still afford it, I just don't know if you can deserve this superior title at this table, hum!"

The eight-character bearded shopkeeper sneered when he heard this, looked at the diners who were attracted by the sound of the silver bag smashing on the counter, and was about to refute Zhong Ling, followed by a diner who was talking about the mountain, and was startled by the sound of Zhong Ling dropping the money bag, and ran over in a few steps, asking Zhong Ling what was wrong, who messed with you......

The shopkeeper's sneer instantly froze on his face, which ...... It's the sixth...... Thinking about the taxes that his family pays to the yamen every month, the heart of the eight-character shopkeeper has settled down again, although this is the case, the sixth will definitely not turn his face against himself for them, you must know that the business department takes his own family to Fenglou every year to pay a lot of filial piety, and the sixth child must also share a lot of profits.

"Yo, the sixth brother is here, the sixth brother wants to have a treat or book a table, although I come to Fenglou is not as good as Daoxiang Pavilion, but I can also make a banquet that satisfies you Sixth Brother." ”

The sixth man's face was as long as a horse's face, "Shopkeeper Hu, what do you mean by this, if you come to Fenglou, you can only eat, and I can't come on business yet! What's wrong, Zhong Ling, is this shopkeeper Hu upsetting you?"

The shopkeeper Hu secretly said that it was not good, the sixth child was angry, it seemed that he had a good relationship with this hillbilly guest, and his small squint blinked a few times, "The sixth brother is joking, we open a restaurant, how can we be embarrassed by the guests." Girl, don't be angry, just now I was a dog who looked down on people, took the wrong medicine and said the wrong thing, don't be angry. In this way, didn't you order a first-class table, just the price just now, I will add a dish and a bottle of wine to you, even if my old Hu apologizes to you, don't be angry. ”

Hearing this, the sixth raised his eyebrows, his nose was not a nose, and his eyes were not eyes, "What do you mean, shopkeeper Hu, my brother can't afford to buy you a bottle of wine! Add a few dishes, and I'm really willing to do it! I've heard Xiao Wang say for a long time, your old Hu is a snob, and a dog looks down on people, and that's really the case." ”

Shopkeeper Hu squinted his eyes and blinked, his face full of flattery, "Sixth brother, you say, what do you say, I can't do it, I don't know Taishan, I don't see you, Mr. Xiao Huang ordered the banquet this time, I am in charge, free of 100 yuan, and send a copy of the restaurant's signature dish Feng Laiyi." ”

Lao Liu thought about it in his heart, and felt that his face was worth so much, and no matter how much Hu shopkeeper this guy was going to turn around, everyone would not look good at that time. The sixth child's gaze turned to Zhong Ling, Huang Liang, this kid has never paid attention to these things, their family usually decides the economic power of Zhong Ling's little girl, Zhong Ling agreed, and Huang Liang agreed.

Zhong Ling still had some flesh pain, 1,300 yuan was also a lot, and his big eyes turned around a few times, "Change the table noodles to medium seats, and the price will be according to what Shopkeeper Hu said." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, according to what you said, Miss, change to a medium table. In addition, I will send another copy of Youfeng Laiyi, sixth brother, you see, it's not bad, right?" The shopkeeper Hu felt pain in his heart to death, but in order not to offend the sixth child, he still wanted to grit his teeth and endure it.

"If you can't afford to eat first-class noodles, don't order food indiscriminately, and don't lose the face of our literate scholars. ”

The voice in a frivolous tone came down from the stairs, accompanied by the snapping sound of the fan on his hand, the white-clothed gentleman with a folding fan in his hand slowly walked down the stairs on the second floor, looking at Huang Liang condescendingly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "My generation of literate scholars, since they should point out the country, comment on the past and the present, regard gold and silver as dung, and so on with the vulgar people in the market, insulting Sven, insulting Sven. ”

"What Brother Guan said is that scholars should pay attention to the name of the text, comment on the political situation of the dynasty, and spread poetry to the world, this is what my generation of readers should do. The other Tsing Yi gentleman sneered in tone, and his expression was also full of disdain.

The restaurant is quiet, Yanzhou City is located in the northern frontier, only a few hundred miles away from the far northern frontier, there are quite few scholars, there are fewer scholars, the diners in the restaurant heard the word Wen, they have quieted down, staring at the two scholars who walked down the stairs with burning eyes, it seems that these two scholars are scholars with literary degrees.

"This is the second son of Guan, I heard that Professor Xi of our Yanzhou Guozijian recommended the second son to participate in this year's government examination. ”

"It's because the second son's poem is well written, and it was recommended by Professor Xi, and the professors of Kyoto Guozijian praised it, but the second son has given us Yanzhou City a lot of face this time!"

"That's the sixth son of the Yamen, he is also a boy with a literary position, but unfortunately he can't compare to the second son. ”

"Although Guan Ying has been praised by Professor Xi, she shouldn't be so arrogant!"

"What do you know, it's normal for scholars to be young and frivolous, besides, the Guan family is a big man this time. ”

Today, the following talents and martial arts have the use of stabilizing the country, and the poetry and song are also like swords, guns, swords, and halberds, with the ability to destroy the enemy before the battle, so the imperial examination not only emphasizes policy theory, examination of agriculture and business, but also emphasizes literary talent and poetry. Guan Ying chanted a water-tune song at the literary meeting in Linhe Park, and the words became bright and moony, beating Li Chen, a famous scholar in Yanzhou, and was praised by Professor Guozijian, and the name of the article was shocked, and it spread all over the eight counties and one district of Yanzhou.

Shopkeeper Hu's beard glanced at him, his small eyes blinked, and he walked back and forth between Lao Liu and Guan Ying, thinking about waiting for a conflict between the two sides, and it would be better for him to stand there.

Guan Ying's folding fan knocked on it again and again, his eyes swept over the heads of the drinkers in the restaurant, and his heart was full of pride, his literary name finally spread all over Yanzhou, and his literary name was broadcast in the mansion, and this year's government test was nine out of ten.

His gaze swept over Zhong Ling, who was holding the money bag, and looked at Huang Liang who was frowning at the menu of the restaurant, and his heart was flushed, and a flower was inserted in the cow dung. No matter how ridiculous you were in the past, I didn't see you answering, I can't say, I must find a reason today, even if I can't tarnish your literary name, I have to humiliate you.

"Just wait for the table, do what you just said, and send it to my house on the street, no need for the chef of the restaurant to pass, the family is poor and can't afford the chef's fee." ”

Huang Liang closed the recipe and said to the shopkeeper in the counter.

Guan Ying has also heard the water tune song written by herself, although it is not the best, but I can't find any faults, just in terms of literary talent, I am afraid that I am really not as good as this kid. When he was thinking like this, the library in front of Huang Liang appeared, and three hundred thin Song words appeared in front of Huang Liang, the pages of the book were opened with a bang, and the first few words of the water tune song appeared in Huang Liang's consciousness.

"When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky......"

Starting with Su Shi's water tune song head, more than a dozen water tune song heads are turned over alternately, and each of them is far better than Guan Ying's water tune song head.

Shopkeeper Hu was overjoyed when he heard this, the two parties do not fight for the best, so that they don't have to offend both sides, on the one hand, the sixth child who is in charge of himself, and on the other hand, the family Guan family in Yanzhou, that party can't offend himself, and he doesn't fight for the best.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Xiao Huang, don't worry, Sixth Brother don't worry, I'll prepare it right away and deliver it as soon as possible." You go slowly, come back if you have something, sixth brother, your old man's side, this side, sixth brother. The shopkeeper Hu was like a monkey, jumping up and down, and dragged the sixth out of the restaurant with a hug, for fear that the sixth would have a dispute with the young man Guan Ying.

Huang Liang glanced at Guan Ying, who was staring at everyone, standing next to Guan Ying and a few students who were honored, and suddenly a smell of depression suddenly rose in his heart, even if he wrote Su Shi's water tune song head, what could he do if he pressed them, could he still go back to the library where he slept!

Thinking like this, Huang Liang reached out and patted Zhong Ling's arm, signaled Zhong Ling, and the two separated and hugged the lively people and walked out.

What I want now is to let Zhong Ling live a good life, and I don't have to frown for a hundred dollars anymore, this is what I should do. As for the name of the text and the poem, it cannot be eaten, and it cannot be exchanged for money, so what is the use of it?

"The water tune song written by Gongzi is praised even by the professors of Guozijian, why bother with the Yamen scribe, I didn't lose the identity of Gongzi. ”

The scholar next to him came over to curry favor with Guan Ying and said.

The folding fan in the hand of a scholar standing on the stairs closed suddenly, "This Huangliang Gold List is named Wenyuan Pavilion, although it has not passed the scientific examination, but it should also have the aura of Wenyuan Pavilion's child, his performance does not seem to be worthy of the gold list, I am afraid that there is no literary talent." ”

"What Brother Zicai said is extremely true, I really don't know what method this person used, and he was able to be named on the gold list without going through the imperial examination. Thinking about it carefully, Brother Junjie's song of water tune shocked the audience, Professor Xi nodded and praised, thinking that Brother Junjie's literary talent is enough, and those who are not as talented as Brother Junjie have already been named on the gold list without passing the imperial examination, and Brother Junjie also has the qualification to be named on the gold list without going through the imperial examination. ”

The scholar who had ridiculed Huang Liang earlier glanced at Huang Liang's back with disdain and praised Guan Ying flatteringly.

"Dexin praised it, too much, too much. However, that song is indeed my best lyrics, although it is just average, but compared to some people who have not passed the scientific examination and obtained a literary degree, it is much stronger, I believe that some people even if they break their heads, they can't write a song of water tune. ”

Guan Ying claimed to be modest, but her tone was full of pride. Because Huang Liang did not react to everyone's ridicule, Guan Ying became more and more annoyed, a young boy who had just been promoted, dared to argue with himself, did not bow down to himself, and did not step on your literary name into the mud, Lao Tzu would not be called Guan Ying.

"What great work can such a vulgar person who cares with the restaurant shopkeeper write, Brother Junjie, you can't see it in this life, well, he won't be able to write any eye-catching words in the next life. ”

The scholar who was called Dexin was full of pride, as if he was happy at the thought of ridiculing Huang Liang's new statement.

"When is the bright moon?"

There was a subdued sound outside the window, and the sound was in my ears.

Huang Liang looked at a few arrogant scholars, his face was full of contempt, people were unwilling to beat the dog, but the dog stretched out his head and asked you to beat, I was really sorry for him if he didn't fight.
