In fact, since Mr. Shuyou came to the capital, scholars and Confucian scholars from nearby Gyeonggi Province came to see him one after another as soon as they heard the news.
In addition, officials who had passed the imperial examination in Beijing also got the news and rushed to pay a visit to Mr. Shuyou, the current sage of calligraphy.
Especially those officials and scholars who were lucky enough to have studied at Heshan Academy wanted to come to see their mentor as soon as possible.
Even the wealthy princes in Beijing, who doesn’t want to be arty? Naturally, they have to find ways and means to find opportunities and excuses, hoping to establish some friendship with Mr. Shuyou, so as to show that their family has a Confucian style.
Mr. Shuyou is well-educated, gentle and gentle to the bone. He is also born with a good temper and has never been good at rejecting others.
As a result, Mr. Shuyou has to work from morning to night every day.
If you can catch up with one wave of customers after another, it is considered a good time to relax.
More often than not, there are several waves of guests waiting to meet in several rooms at the same time.
Mr. Shuyou had to take turns "turning around" between several houses like a prostitute in the Bada Hutong.
In the first room, everyone nodded and exchanged names, and then they had to go to the second room to take care of them, and then they had to go to the third room to entertain the guests for tea, and in the fourth room there were more
Waiting to sort out the age.
It’s true that even the oiran has never accepted guests like this.
After only a few days, Mr. Shuyou's voice has become hoarse, his eyes are swollen due to anger, and his mouth has blisters. He usually only likes reading and does not like to exercise. He is so fat that even his feet are swollen.
.
Moreover, Mr. Shuyou is a person who regards teaching students as more important than his life. What he is more worried about is that in the academy where he is supposed to concentrate on studying, if there are so many guests coming and going every day, it will definitely not be conducive to the students to study peacefully.
Misleading people?
Busy, tired, and angry, the more worried he became, the almost collapsed Mr. Shuyou had no choice but to ask Jia Lian for help.
Jia Lian looked pitiful when he saw Mr. Shuyou being tortured so much that he was so frightened that he lost his hair and hair, so he immediately came to help.
In the enrollment notice posted at "Heshan Academy North Campus", it is clearly stated that in order to ensure the teaching quality of Heshan Academy, from the beginning of the semester, except for students who are on vacation and Mr. Shuyou can meet guests, during the rest of the time, Mr. Shuyou can
The teacher should devote himself to teaching and scholarship and not see outsiders.
In this way, Mr. Shuyou was saved, and the academy was finally quiet.
Mr. Shuyou took Jia Lian's hand and burst into tears of gratitude:
"My dear brother, I am truly lucky to have a 'little Zhuge' like you to help me in my life!"
Jia Lian shook his head secretly in his heart:
Alas - what kind of skill is this? It's just a matter of improving your skills.
In my previous life, if I couldn't even refuse others, I would have deserved to be exhausted to death.
.
The affairs in the academy came to an end for the time being, and Jia Lian himself planned to relax, so he strolled to the "Jixian Building".
As expected, Shopkeeper Chun acted quickly and renovated "Jixian Building" according to Jia Lian's wishes.
Since "Jixian Building" has decided to take a high-end route, the decoration style is elegant, high-end and high-level.
Upstairs and downstairs, all are arranged into thirty-six private rooms.
The private rooms are named after the thirty-six counties divided by Qin Shihuang, such as: Sanchuan County, Hedong County, Nanyang County, Yingchuan County, Sishui County, etc.
Each private room has portraits or paintings of celebrities from these counties. Guests can choose a private room according to their own preferences.
Although the waiting staff are still dressed in shorts, they all have a custom-made quaint style. Even the white handkerchiefs draped on the shoulders must be changed every day to ensure that they look white, clean and neat at all times. p>
Jia Lian was very satisfied and immediately decided to treat guests at Jixian Tower!
.
The guests Jia Lian invited this time were, of course, his own group of "little boys".
As soon as Jia Lian came back from Yangzhou, Xie Qianli took the lead, and all his friends wanted to support Jia Lian, but Jia Lian himself was so busy that he never touched the ground and had no time to spare.
Nowadays, people's "welcome" to him has become his own "unblocking". Naturally, Jia Lian has to entertain everyone well so as not to be rude.
Therefore, the treat this time was quite lively.
These people also became the first wave of guests in the new "Jixian Building" and received very high courtesy.
In order to entertain his friends, Jia Lian asked "Fushui Shaoguo" to send new top-notch wine.
Shopkeeper Chun also wanted to show off the quality of the restaurant. He selected the top eight chefs from the two restaurants, "Jixian Restaurant" and "Chunfeng Restaurant", and cooked their best dishes. Not only that, they also invited the most popular "Chun Qinghe" theater troupe in the capital to sing from noon to midnight.
The inward windows of all the private rooms upstairs and downstairs in "Jixian Building" are opened, facing the middle and the "blowing" on the upper and lower floors, so that the performance in the hall on the first floor can be seen clearly.<
/p>
Such fine wines and delicacies, sounds, songs, and friends made everyone who came to the banquet forget about themselves and miss Shu.
So much so that the banquet ended in the middle of the night and everyone who was drunk simply fell asleep smiling on the resting couches in the private room.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning the next day that everyone woke up from a good sleep and left one after another with satisfaction.
.
Jia Lian and a group of friends ate, drank and had fun all day long and drank a lot of wine.
But fortunately, the good wine in his "Fu Shui Shao Guo" is not overpowering, and it will not cause the uncomfortable feeling after a hangover.
On the contrary, because a deep sleep after being drunk made people more refreshed, Jia Lian was in a particularly good mood.
After seeing off all the friends one by one, Jia Lian asked Shopkeeper Chun to immediately arrange for the official reopening of "Jixian Building" on a certain date. The opening ceremony must be lively and decent.
Seeing Shopkeeper Chun's complacent look, Jia Lian smiled again and said:
"Old Chun, you can't have the 'Jixian Tower' and then forget the 'Chunfeng Tower'. You have to like the new and hate the old."
Shopkeeper Chun was even more happy when he heard this:
"Let me tell you, Mr. Lian always has long-term plans in mind and never misses anything.
I dare to ask, what wonderful ideas does Second Master Lian have over at Chunfeng Tower?"
Jia Lian smiled:
"I think the carpenter you hired to renovate Jixian Building is very skilled. The carvings on the doors and windows are very detailed, and the price is very reasonable. I am very satisfied.
Tomorrow afternoon, you asked this carpenter to come and wait for me at Chunfeng Building. I have drawn the drawings and we will discuss it.
Don't worry, Chunfeng Tower is your hard work. I won't treat you badly, and I can't treat Chunfeng Tower badly either.
.
After coming out of Jixian Tower, Jia Lian was in a good mood and was too lazy to ride a horse, so he just strolled on the street.
I also remembered that I heard from the waiter who delivered the wine yesterday that Keqing’s "Qinglian Baihua Fragrance Shop" had been chosen on Huguosi Street, so I planned to stroll over and have a look.
Remembering that he hadn't visited Qu Siping and his wife for many days, Jia Lian planned to buy some gifts for Qu Siping, his wife and Jiuhua on the way, and he could give them to the shop assistant to take away.
While he was looking around, a man happened to walk out of a nearby shop with his head lowered and angrily, and pretended to be serious with Jia Lian.
Before Jia Lian had time to apologize, the man's eyes were widened, his hands on his hips, foaming at his mouth and he started to curse:
"Hey, thief Sun!
It's broad daylight, why are you rushing into a funeral? Are you rushing to grab flags? Or are you rushing home to grab filial piety hats to wear?
Is your mother in a hurry to get on the sedan because she's pregnant? Or is there a man in your family and you're in a hurry to go home and catch a couple?
You bump into your grandpa like a blind donkey, I think you are a cucumber on the chopping board - are you looking for a photo?"
