Chapter 263 Lao Cheng had no choice but to abandon literature and join martial arts. Alas... (please recommend and vote for me)
Eyes closed and opened, it was dawn... Cheng Chubi sat up in a daze, then felt dizzy and quickly lay back down again.
It took me a long time to regain my composure, but my memory of last night was a little blurry because I didn't know if I drank too much.
I just remember that I happily ran back to the palace gate with my jade pendant hanging on my head, and was being drunk by a group of envious and jealous brothers. Ka...
Well, he really couldn't remember exactly how much he drank later. He didn't even remember how he got home or how he was lying here.
But when I thought about the scene where I was in the limelight yesterday, I saw the precious jade pendant placed on the small table.
Cheng Chubi finally felt happy, and after washing himself, he came to the front hall.
I saw my two brothers with the same haggard look, and, well, my biological father Cheng Yaojin. There were four grown men in the family, and they were not all in good spirits.
But when he saw Cheng Laosan wandering over, Cheng Yaojin laughed and hurriedly greeted him.
"Come on, come on, our old Cheng family's great talent, hurry up and sit here with dad."
It's a pity that the three brothers didn't get up because they made a fuss too late yesterday, otherwise the house would be even more lively.
"My child has met his father, and has met his eldest and second brothers." Cheng Chubi greeted him and sat down next to his biological father.
As soon as I sat down, I saw the butler, Uncle Fu, bringing a wine jar, and behind him was a servant holding a wine set.
Cheng Chubi's whole body felt bad. "Dad, you can't do it, can you?"
Cheng Yaojin stroked his thick beard, which was as thick as a steel needle, and his voice seemed a little hoarse.
"You silly boy, have you forgotten our old Cheng family's secret? Wine can cure hangovers better than anything else."
What else could Cheng Chubi say, he could only bite the bullet and take a sip. In an instant, the whole family winked at him, and it took him a long time to spit out the smell of alcohol as if he had survived the disaster.
It’s not clear whether alcohol has the effect of relieving hangover, but it’s impossible for a person to become sober after drinking this Chengfu Sanle juice.
Finally, a servant brought breakfast, a glass of goat's milk and two eggs for each person, which disappeared in the throat in an instant.
After that, I started to eat and drink heavily, which finally made my stomach, which was busy drinking but didn’t eat much food yesterday, feel satisfied.
Cheng Yaojin took another sip of wine to rinse his mouth, swallowed it with satisfaction, and then smiled at Cheng Laosan.
"You kid, you are really capable. Tell me, tell me, how did you pronounce that thing at that time?"
Looking at the bright expectant looks of his father and two older brothers, Cheng Chubi, the literary director of the old Cheng family, looked at the millet porridge in front of him.
For a moment, I didn’t know where to start.
"..."

"My child just thinks that your poems, daddy, are actually very good. But I didn't expect that those guys would dare to say it and point fingers at it."
"The child was immediately unhappy. I didn't think about anything at the time, and the poem just popped out of my head one sentence after another."
Seeing Cheng Laosan in front of him talking serious nonsense, Cheng Yaojin looked at his biological son with a loving look on his face with relief.
Cheng Chumo smacked his lips and gave a very reliable answer.
"Dad, after listening to what the third child said, I feel that the third child must have anger in his heart, so he acted out what he felt."
"Yes, yes, my child feels the same way." The second brother, Cheng Chuliang, was convinced and nodded repeatedly.
"You kid, you did a good job. Although you were a little reckless, it made our old Cheng family famous for being both civilized and martial arts. Hahahaha..."
Seeing their father laughing so wildly, the two brothers laughed very proudly.
Even Uncle Fu, the butler who poured the wine himself, had a happy face.
"Our old Cheng family, thanks to my master's good teaching, we have such a great talent as the Third Young Master."
"Think about where the Third Young Master will stand alone. As soon as this poem came out, the civil and military officials in the court couldn't even lift their heads, tut tut tut..."
The family laughed loudly and arrogantly. Cheng Yaojin stroked his thick beard like a steel needle and looked at the eldest and second twins first.
He turned around and looked at Cheng Chubi again, his eyes were kind, his expression was kind, even a little bit sad.
"After all, our old Cheng family is also a family that inherits poetry and calligraphy.
I thought that from me down, our old Cheng family would never have an all-rounder with both civil and military skills."
"Pfft..." The boss spit out the millet porridge he just drank.
The second child had a chicken bone stuck in his throat, choking and his face turned red.
Seeing how disrespectful these two bastards were, the furious old father immediately kicked each of them in the face.
Looking at the disgraced eldest brother, the second brother Cheng Chubi swallowed back the millet porridge that almost spewed out of his throat. He was extremely well-behaved.
"Dad, is that right? Look at you two, you are incompetent in writing and martial arts. Alas... I miss our old Cheng family in Dong'a.
But during the Three Kingdoms period, there was a famous civil servant with unparalleled wisdom and scheming."
"This ancestor's surname is Cheng Taoyu. He made suggestions for Emperor Wu of Wei and fought in all directions..."
"That's our ancestor?" Cheng Chubi's eyes lit up, "Hey, this is really big news."
Unexpectedly, the family is composed of the old Cheng family who likes to convince people with their strength. There is also a gentle man in the ancestors who uses his brain to do things?
"Nonsense." Cheng Yaojin thought that the third child had lost his memory.
In addition, yesterday, the old Cheng family, who were both civil and military, finally gave a thumbs up, and they were too lazy to argue with the third child.
"Your great-grandfather was the state Sima of the Northern Qi Dynasty. He was a civil servant. Your grandfather is still a civil servant."
Cheng Chubi saw his biological father, Cheng Yaojin, standing up with a sinister face.
At this moment, he seems to be a little more elegant, and even his beard seems to be much docile.
One hand was behind his back, and the other hand raised the millet porridge in his hand, as if it was not a bowl of porridge, but a book of The Analects of Confucius.
"When I came to my father's generation, I was originally going to study poetry and books and pray for the people.
However, the world is too chaotic, so I have no choice but to give up literature and pursue martial arts. Alas...it's hard to explain in words."
Cheng Chubi pinched his thighs hard and tried to control his expression. He abandoned his civility and took up martial arts. Dad, can you stop being so shameless?
The faces of the eldest brother and the second brother next to me have turned black to carbon, and their teeth are grinning. They must have endured it very hard.
But the housekeeper, Uncle Fu, turned purple in the face and rushed out of the front hall with his coat in hand, showing no sense of responsibility.
What about the person who promised to leave his back to the other party? My father plays the role of the mastermind who guides the country.
At least you can play the whisker boy next to you, or you can play the wheelchair.

Cheng Sanlang, the top leader of the Cheng family in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, once again started a wave of gossip in and around Chang'an City, in the courts and in the markets.
That's right, it's the same Chengjia Sanlang who ate bear's heart, leopard's gall, and drank wolf's heart and dog's lung soup.
At the Double Ninth Festival banquet held in Liangyi Hall, a poem shocked the civil and military officials of the court and was praised by the emperor and the emperor.
I got the lottery from these two people. And this song "Ode to Chrysanthemums for the Double Ninth Festival Banquet in Liangyi Hall on the eighth day of September in the eighth year of Zhenguan in Chang'an".
That night, it was spread to the market by those excited people.
The gods were so shocked that that night, several courtesans composed songs and sang them.
At such a speed, it is probably the first poem by a member of the Wu family that courtesans have sung since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
Although the cultural circles of the Tang Dynasty were very unhappy that the third son of the noble bully Cheng Yaojin had stolen the limelight of the Double Ninth Festival banquet.
But no one was willing to stand up and criticize Cheng Laosan's poem.
After all, the meaning, style, and artistic attainments of this poem are definitely the best among chrysanthemum poems.
