"The two old gentlemen are here, and the house is full of glory. Please, please!"
In the evening, Wu Ming's face was radiant, his face was happy, and he greeted the two old Confucians who had just arrived at the gate with great enthusiasm. Summit 23S.

"snort!"
The two old scholars Liu Zheng and Chen Tai, who had always been quite harsh towards Wu Ming, but were still kind-hearted, now had dark faces, snorted coldly, lifted up their clothes and entered the palace without even looking at Wu Ming.
"My lord, don't blame me!"
Behind them were four students, one of whom was Chen Tai's son Chen Zihua. He smiled apologetically at Wu Ming and climbed up the stairs.
"No wonder, no wonder, it is truly a blessing to have these two old gentlemen as guests!"
Wu Ming wiped the bridge of his nose nonchalantly, took two quick steps, and led everyone straight into the inner hall.
Along the way, Chen and Liu showed no signs of their usual warmth, and kept their cold faces, which made Wu Ming extremely embarrassed, but it was difficult for him to get angry, so he could only hold his nose and admit it.
Although I had expected the reaction of the two elders, I did not expect it to be so intense!
"Hahaha, you two have arrived. If it's a little later, the plum blossom wine I've heated up here will be cold!"
From far away, Wu Fu's hearty and hearty laughter could be heard.
"Hmph, you stinky chess basket. Good plum blossom wine must be drunk cold. How could you waste such a good thing?"
"Brother Yucang, you must not do it. If you don't do it, don't ruin the refreshing feeling of plum blossom wine!"
As soon as they heard that there was wine, the two elders' eyes immediately lit up, they threw away their unhappiness, laughed and cursed, and walked away quickly.
Wu Ming was slightly relieved when he heard the call "Brother Yucang". This name was exactly the character of Wu Fu, but he had never been called by anyone since he became a servant of the palace!
"Teacher, you are finally here!"
Not long after, I heard another friendly call as clear as an oriole, and the hearty laughter of the two elders.
"Junior sister is also in the mansion today?"
Chen Zihua's eyes lit up and he asked in a low voice.
"Haha, it's the first time that these two old gentlemen have come to visit me as guests. If there are no disciples to serve me, I wonder what I will be trained into!"
Wu Ming's eyes flashed slightly and he smiled.
In fact, he was the one who pulled Lu Zijin as a shield. With this woman by his side, how could the two elders spare any effort to scold him too badly!
What he didn't expect was that he could see a different meaning in Chen Zihua's eyes!
"Young boy Mu Ai, Zi Jin has finally grown up!"
As soon as a rare thought came to his mind, Wu Ming calmed down his thoughts and greeted Chen Zihua and the four of them to enter.
There were only five people in the house. In addition to Wu Fu and Lu Zijin, there were also Honglian, Qu Ying and Chen Qiaoyun, who was also one of the first batch of young people to enter the house.
Although they were extremely dissatisfied with Wu Ming, the two old scholars still waited politely and did not take their seats.
When their knowledge has reached this stage, it has become a self-cultivation in their bones, and no one can persuade them!
Wu Fu quickly winked at Wu Ming.
"Two old gentlemen, hurry up and take your seats."
Wu Ming stepped forward quickly and extended his hand to guide him.
"You are a guest, how can you sit down as a guest?"
Chen Tai's face was stern, and he gently flicked his sleeves to get out of the way.
The same was true for Liu Zheng, but a subtle smile flashed in his eyes.
"What you said, old man, is wrong. My sister worships you two as my teachers. As my elder brother, I was out and did not observe the worship of the teachers. Today's banquet is to thank the two teachers. You are all elders today. How can you not sit in the chair?"
sit?"
This point didn't bother Wu Ming at all, and he complimented her like a lotus flower.
It's just that he didn't notice that when the word 'family sister' came out of his mouth, Lu Zijin's beautiful eyes flashed with disappointment!
"good!"
Before Chen Tai could say anything, Liu Zheng nodded slightly and pulled off his sleeves, "Brother Shan, since this is a thank-you banquet hosted by the Crown Prince for Zi Jin, you and I don't have to refuse. Please take your seats quickly."
"Hmph, I think you were aroused by the aroma of plum blossom wine!"
Chen Tai glared at him fiercely, but did not refuse and sat down.
Therefore, Wu Ming also quickly asked Wu Fu to sit between the two elders, with him sitting opposite, while Chen Zihua and others sat on the deputy seats.
Although it is still a little unethical, it finally looks like a commonplace meal!
The four women served on the left and right, and there was no distinction between master and servant. They poured wine for everyone personally.
"I can't help it, why bother my junior sister and three girls to pour the wine myself? I can just drink it myself!"
At this time, except for the three elders who took it calmly, Chen Zihua and the other four refused to accept it.
The four girls are all famous class beauties in the martial arts school. Needless to say, Lu Zijin is also known as the "Dragon Girl". Red Lotus is so charming and charming that almost everyone knows about it.
Qu Ying, on the other hand, is a first-rate, hard-working student who is highly respected by the martial arts students.
As for Chen Qiaoqian, although this girl is not flashy, she has never fallen behind the others, which is evident from this.
"Ahem, okay, no need to hold it, the table is big enough, let's sit together!"
Wu Ming was very tired of the ancient custom of men and women not being able to sit at the same table, and men had to finish eating before women could sit at the table. He immediately coughed dryly and said:
"Humph, how can you behave without rules and regulations?"
Now, even Liu Zheng couldn't stand it anymore.
It is true that Lu Zijin is their disciple, and the three Honglian girls are also hard-working students they like very much, but in their concepts, the superiority of men to women has long been ingrained, and no matter how open-minded they are, they cannot change the philosophy they have adhered to throughout their lives.
"Teacher, don't blame me. My cousin was just joking."
Although he was still angry with Wu Ming, Lu Zijin still softly excused him.
"Haha, if you two continue to dwell on these minutiae, I'm going to heat up the wine!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Wu Fu immediately grabbed the wine bottle with a smile and said with a gesture.
"Hmph, you don't have to mess around with that stinky chess basket!"
Chen Tai feigned anger and snatched the wine bottle like a treasure. He took a sip and showed an extremely intoxicated expression.
"You also said that my drinking bug has been aroused. I think it's your glutton that's just about to get the better of you!"
Liu Zheng laughed and cursed.
"Haha, Brother Wenqing's words have indeed reached my heart. Come on, come on, don't delay any longer!"
Chen Tai was not angry after hearing the words, he laughed heartily, filled the glasses for the three of them one by one, raised their glasses and drank together, looking at each other and smiling without saying a word.
When everyone saw this, they all breathed a sigh of relief. They all burst into joy. They first bowed respectfully, and then drank it all in one gulp.
Wu Ming was quite helpless, but he had to follow the local customs. Even if this drinking method was extremely unpleasant, he could only follow the same example!
After three rounds of drinking, the host and guest chatted happily. The two elders did not raise any intention to come, nor did they intend to challenge the enemy. Wu Ming also did his best to be a junior and looked like he was entertaining his elders wholeheartedly!
Tuk Tuk!
However, the two elders seemed to be happy after drinking, their cheeks turned red, they hit the wine glass with chopsticks, sang a toast poem, and when they were happy, they exchanged looks that only the two of them could understand from time to time.
Wu Fu narrowed his eyes slightly, with a look of admiration and immersion in it. He hummed a few words in response from time to time, as if he was already familiar with this situation.
The four of them, Chen Zihua, were gently beating the beat and accompanying the two elders, shaking their heads and singing in low voices from time to time.
Wu Ming didn't seem to understand, he listened quietly and felt something.
Poetry contains a different kind of power, which seems to be able to calm people's minds and attract people invisibly.
This is the character and spirit formed by Confucian writing cultivation!
It seems calm and calm, but in fact, it sublimates the spirit of everyone, allowing everyone to understand the character and spirit formed by the will and spirit of the two old Confucianists in the most intuitive way!
Similarly, these two old Confucians did not hesitate to expend their own energy to give gifts to everyone!
Although it seems that the two elders have not changed much, they are a bit wild at this time. If you look at it with your spiritual mind, you will definitely find that the two figures are as tall and straight as mountains, showing a special artistic conception. One is as tall as a green pine, and the other is as gurgling as a stream.
!
The former makes people respect him, while the latter makes people admire his perseverance!
These two forms are the embodiment of the character and spirit of the two elders, and are similar to the master's dharma. Although they are different in nature, they can be regarded as reaching the same goal through different paths.
I don't know how long it took, but after they finished singing, the two elders' faces were still rosy, but there was a hint of exhaustion in their eyes.
"Thank you teacher for the gift, I am ashamed to accept it!"
Chen Zihua woke up first and immediately bowed his head to the end. The other three people did the same. They were extremely grateful.
“Thank you two old gentlemen for the tips!”
The complicated color in Wu Ming's eyes flashed away, and he bowed respectfully.
Lu Zijin and the other four women also bowed their hands and expressed their gratitude.
"Hmph, what kind of messy stuff did you add to this plum blossom wine? Why is it different from what you drank before?"
Chen Tai snorted angrily.
"I feel the same way. It's more fragrant and purer than before, with a cool feeling that goes straight into my heart. What I'm drinking is the magical brew of wine!"
Liu Zheng smiled meaningfully.
Wu Ming smiled and didn't say much, but he knew very well in his heart that these two old Confucians pointed it out deliberately because they didn't want to owe a favor.
No matter what good things you put in your wine, this spirit of strength and concentration is enough to make up for it!
It must be said that although the two old Confucians are old-fashioned and seem to be unkind, they are actually very shrewd.
Knowing that today's banquet was by no means a teacher-appreciation banquet, and that it was foreshadowed by what happened during the day, if Wu Ming didn't have a reasonable explanation, the two old men wouldn't be able to take over.
"Teachers, how can we not have poems to add to the fun of this wonderful time and beautiful wine?"
Lu Zijin turned his beautiful eyes and said with a smile.
"These words are very close to my heart!"
"That's right, that's right. Wine and poetry are the ultimate happiness on earth!"
The two elders looked at each other and laughed heartily.
"Okay, okay, the young master is the best at poetry, when... when..."
Hong Lian didn't know what was going on, she put her hands on her hands and smiled softly, but when she saw Wu Ming's gaze, she couldn't help shrinking her white and tender neck, and finally her voice sounded like a mosquito.
"snort!"
Lu Zijin had already realized it. His beautiful figure flickered slightly, blocking his gaze, like a hen guarding its calf. He raised his white chin with a sweet groan, looked down at Wu Ming condescendingly, and said almost word by word, "Cousin, we are hosting a banquet for two people today."
"Teacher, you can't let them come here with interest and leave with disillusionment, otherwise I won't listen!"
The four of them, Chen Zihua, exchanged glances without trace, and all shook their heads. This obviously excluded them!
"Hey, what did my cousin say? How could I let the two elders go home disappointed? But, with the four great talents of Brother Chen here, how can I show my shame?"
Wu Ming could clearly see the flash of pride in this woman's beautiful eyes, and couldn't help but coughed dryly and declined.
