Chapter four hundred and eighty first father and son
The academic conference was over, and the scholars and scholars in Xuzhou returned to their respective residences with pain and sadness all over their bodies.
This debate was really a failure. Chen Deng took the path of connections and searched for the top students in the state, but he was scolded by Mi Heng alone. He couldn't even shake the king's eight punches.
People are very sad.
The Xuzhou scholars' face was greatly humiliated this time.
The pottery merchant was not in a hurry. He went back to his home to visit his wife and son who were in confinement. After settling them, he went back to the meeting hall to see Chen Deng.
Chen Deng's complexion is a bit not so good. I can't tell the exact color. It's a bit reddish and white, a bit blue and purple. In short, it's not a good color.
He really made Mi Heng angry.
"Taifu, I leave this matter to you. I will definitely find a way to kill your arrogance... No matter what, I must suppress his arrogance and let him know what is the way to the top outside the mountain."
The pottery merchant looked at the angry Chen Deng with great distress, and asked, "What method does Yuan Long plan to use to cure Mi Heng?"
"Continue to search for talented and skillful debaters! I don't believe that he is the only one in the world who can scold! There will always be someone who is louder than him, right! You have to be able to beat him with your fists."
Tao Shang sighed, shook his head helplessly, and said: "Your method won't work. Mi Heng's temperament, level of swearing, and fighting skills are all among the best in the world. If you say something unpleasant, unless you come to
Find some good shrews in the market, otherwise it would be too difficult to just find someone from the literary circle to deal with him..."
Chen Deng's face turned red, but he couldn't say anything to refute Tao Shang. However, through today's conversation, he could see that it was impossible to use conventional means to catch Mi Heng's pigtails or deal with him.
.
"What do you think, Master?"
The pottery merchant turned to Guo Jiadao and asked, "Is Mi Heng a nobleman from Qingzhou?"
Guo Jia said lightly: "He is not from a high family, but he is a scholarly brother from Pingyuan County. Hearing that his family tradition is very strict, starting from his ancestors, he would not marry a talented woman unless he was virtuous and virtuous, so he set the threshold of his family very high."
, so your family is very small, with only a stern old father, a virtuous wife, and a two-year-old son at home."
"Have you stayed at home all these years?" the potter asked.
Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Not entirely, I travel a lot."
Qingzhou is relatively close to Xuzhou. With the ability of the school affairs office, it is not difficult at all to investigate the famous figures in Qingzhou.
Especially since Mi Heng recently came to Xuzhou, Guo Jia naturally took great care in collecting his personal information.
After listening to Guo Jia's words, Tao Shang had a clue in his mind. He knocked on the table gently and said: "A scholarly family, a virtuous wife, a strict family tradition, and a strict father... right?"
"yes!"
"Okay!" The pottery merchant reached out and patted the table and said: "Invite the school affairs office to secretly go to his ancestral home and send someone to bring his old father, wife and children to Pengcheng. In addition, send someone to carefully investigate Ni Heng for me.
The details, including the famous mountains and rivers he has traveled to over the years, and what he has done, don’t let go of even the tiniest details.”
Hearing the potter's talk, Guo Jia felt a little uncomfortable.
He felt bad for Mi Heng.
Usually when a person named Tao behaves like this, he will definitely be punished severely, and he will not be merciful at all.
…
Mi Heng was idle in the post house for a while, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry. The pottery merchant offered him delicious food and drinks every day, and he didn't refuse.
A man of arrogant character should be as stable as Mount Tai and not afraid of power.
A few days later, Tao Shang sent a letter to Ni Heng, telling Ni Heng that he was going to hold a banquet in Xuzhou and invite the heads of the noble clans, famous students, and celebrities from various counties to attend to celebrate the good weather this year in Xu and Yang.
, a good harvest.
Ever since the last time a student from Xuzhou fought against him, Mi Heng had developed a problem with Tao Shang and scorned his invitation this time.
But Mi Heng was happy and not afraid.
Just eat, I'm afraid you might use some tricks to get here?
Although there are thousands of people, I am going!
Five days later, in the front hall of the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, the pottery merchant held a grand banquet, inviting all the civil and military celebrities in Xuzhou, and allowed the celebrities and scholars to bring their families, but the female family members had to sit in the back seats.
Mi Heng tidied himself up and walked into the courtyard of the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion with his head held high.
As soon as he entered the governor's mansion, he heard a familiar and stern voice: "Heng'er!"
Mi Heng showed a rare expression of shock. He turned to look at the source of the sound, only to see the familiar stern face of his long-lost father.
There is even his virtuous wife and cute little son.
"Father, why are you here?"
To put it bluntly, your old man and You Heng are completely virtuous in terms of temperament. Wherever you two stand, they look at the sky with their nostrils and overlook the cangs, acting like arrogant bastards.
There is nothing left!
"Tao Shang, the Grand Master, sent someone to invite us here. He said that since you are well-established here, he would like to take us to Xuzhou to enjoy his patronage... Is this the case?" Your old man's tone was stern, and you could tell at a glance that it was not the case.
A good boy.
Even though Ni Heng was so popular on weekdays, in front of his father, he completely restrained his sharpness and said with cupped hands: "It's a long story, alas! The pottery merchant didn't entrust me with a heavy responsibility."
Your old man raised his thick eyebrows: "My son is an extraordinary talent, capable of pacifying troubled times! How can he not grant me authority?"
Mi Heng cleared his throat, and from his own extreme point of view, he told old man Ni what happened after he came to Xuzhou with added embarrassment.
You old man blows his beard and stares angrily, with a bad breath in his chest that is hard to get out.
"My son is so capable! Tao actually treats my son so poorly! He also incites all the students in Xuzhou to attack my son? Is it unbearable? No! I have to argue with him no matter what I say later.
It’s clear! If it doesn’t work, we, father and son, will join forces and scold him together!”
Once he heard that his father was supporting him, Mi Heng felt more confident and his back became even stronger.
"Yes, at worst, our father and son will call him a bastard. In front of so many people, if he kills us, our father and son will be remembered forever."
After the banquet started, everyone exchanged glasses and exchanged glasses, and celebrated with each other. It was a happy and peaceful atmosphere.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the pottery merchant took advantage of the wine and suddenly pointed at you.
"I have heard for a long time that your lord is elegant and not only an unparalleled literary genius, but also a master of music. There are newly made music and drums in the hall. Why don't you bring them to entertain our guests and friends?"
Mi Heng sneered and didn't refuse. Then he stood up and headed straight for the big drum.
When you, the old man, saw that the pottery merchant was treating such an elegant and moral son as your own, he was so angry that he trembled all over.
When Mi Heng came to the big drum, a drum official said to him: "The Lao drum needs new clothes."
Mi Heng, however, was not used to it at all. He then took off his shirt, stood up naked, and picked up the drum hammer and started playing the music "Yu Yang San Lao".
Seeing Mi Heng playing the drums naked, you old man looked angry.
The potter's mouth showed a smile.
This is your father and son holding back their ultimate move, the rhythm before the storm is coming.
