Chapter 644: Linyuan is envious of fish, it is better to retreat and make a net
When Zhang Chen staggered back to the wedding banquet, he could only see people drinking and laughing everywhere. In the midst of it, he only felt hot and cold in his heart. The hot part was that the girl Zhu Ying mentioned was obviously very suitable for him.
As expected, what was cold was that his father suddenly changed his mind and wanted to be a father who cared about his son, but what he actually realized was to impose strict discipline!
This is simply a disease and needs to be cured! I wonder how his father can be cured... Can he marry a wife and go back?
Zhang Chen didn't think about what would happen if Ah Liu and Hua Qi chased that person together - in fact, if those two were lost, then he wouldn't have to think about avenging the humiliation he had just suffered. He
He rubbed his cold forehead vigorously and looked around, but all he saw were smiling faces, but the truth and falsehood were different.
He could easily find where the main table was, but because of his dizziness, he actually had some double vision in his eyes. He looked left and right and couldn't find the person he was looking for. But just when he was planning to casually
When I was looking for a table to make a fuss, I suddenly felt someone tapping my shoulder from behind.
He turned around suddenly, but his feet were unsteady, and he immediately fell to the sky. But soon, he saw a big hand like a cattail fan in front of him suddenly stretched out and grabbed him. Before he could see clearly, he turned around.
Then the person heard a hearty voice: "Where are you standing? Why are you standing in the middle of the road? Don't you think it's in the way? Hey, are you Zhang Chen?"
It wasn't until he heard someone calling his name that Zhang Chen recognized it was Zhang Datou, the son of Uncle Xiangyang. He didn't have any friendship with the person, so he didn't want to be perfunctory, but Zhang Chen actually held his arm enthusiastically: "This has just happened.
Not long after the banquet started, you actually smelled so drunk that you couldn't even stand upright? Well, the teacher was just asking where you were, I'll take you there!"
"Same for you. It's too irresponsible for such an adult to have trouble with a child like the Fourth Prince!"
Zhang Chen didn't even have time to speak, and was dragged away by the big man Zhang. He tried to struggle but couldn't bear the strength. Moreover, he passed several tables at this time, and he vaguely saw more than half of the people he knew. He also saw Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu.
With Zhu Er, he saw that everyone was drinking and laughing happily. After hesitating for a moment, he was dragged to the main table by the big man Zhang.
Except for Zhang Shou, this table was all high-ranking officials of third rank or above. What Zhang Chen felt most secretly awe-inspiring was that Lu Wan actually arranged for Lu Sanlang's marriage to Mr. Wu Ge, and this famous emperor's yes-man was not even present.
He sat down next to Zhang Shou happily! As for the other few, such as ministers and deputy censors, who came to the Lu family for the marriage of their children, is it a big deal?
The fourth prince stopped talking. At this moment, the naughty kid sitting at the bottom was glaring at him!
Zhang Chen couldn't help but be a little jealous of Lu Sanlang, but seeing that Big Zhang had already stepped forward to greet Zhang Shou and the others, he could only move his steps forward, bowed his hands stiffly, and called teacher. Seeing this
The elders at the table all looked at him, and he said in a low voice: "I drank a few more sips of wine elsewhere before, and then I said something rude. It's all my fault."
Zhang Chen, Lu Sanlang, Zhu Er... headed by these people, were the most famous dandies in the capital in the past. Although because of the emperor's praise and the reform of these people in the past, Zhang Shou's actions have long made him
Nowadays, the officials in the imperial court no longer doubt Zhang Shou's ability to become a teacher at such a young age. However, seeing Zhang Chen come over and bow his head to apologize, several elders were still in awe.
This can really be regarded as one thing reducing another thing!
Zhang Datou, who used to envy Zhang Chen's unscrupulousness the most, saw that Zhang Chen came over and bowed his head to apologize. He couldn't help but feel that he had roped in most of the people in Banshan Hall and prepared to move to the public school in accordance with the emperor's order. This decision was really done.
Wise and powerful.
Therefore, when he saw Zhang Shou pouring a glass of wine with a smile, he immediately pulled Zhang Chen with a happy heart and said: "Zhang Chen, today is a happy day for little fat man Lu. The teacher has always been tolerant, so why would he care about you?"
It's such a small thing like making a gaffe while drunk? Wouldn't that be the end of it if you made a toast to apologize in person?"
The fourth prince's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he immediately ran over with the wine bottle on his short legs and without saying a word, urged Zhang Chen to pour the wine to apologize. Zhang Chen was a little embarrassed at first, but he still took it.
He took the jug and filled Zhang Shou with wine.
Seeing this scene, Wu Ge Lao twisted his beard and smiled, especially when he saw that Zhang Chen actually toasted Zhang Shou to apologize. Zhang Shou also stood up and drank without any embarrassment, and then called Zhang Chen to the side as if
After a few words of instruction, he started to admire him.
"It's no wonder that the emperor always loves Bachelor Zhang. Look at the way he teaches students, he is indeed a teacher. Those academic officers in the Imperial College really need to learn from him!"
A certain minister next to him couldn't help but reveal a playful smile. Fortunately, Lu Wan's public school is now a competition arena with the Imperial College, so for Lu Sanlang's wedding today, none of the academic officers of the Imperial College will be there.
Please come here, otherwise if these people hear what Mr. Wu Ge said now, they will definitely be angry to death!
Although Mr. Wu Ge was scolded as a yes-man of the Emperor, more people regarded him as a barometer of the Emperor - so among those at the same table, those who had always had a good impression of Zhang Shou naturally followed him, even though
Those who were dissatisfied with Zhang Shou being the chief today had to suppress it for the time being.
After all, when Lu Wan came over to toast Zhang Shou in person, he had already made it clear that today Zhang Shou is sitting in the chief position as Master Lu Sanlang, so without mentioning the official position, he would like to greet the Master first, and others can
say what?
And Zhang Shou winked and asked Zhang Datou to take the fourth prince away for the time being. He had a brief exchange with Zhang Chen. When he learned that a mysterious person had almost hypnotized Zhang Chen, he was suddenly startled. When he heard that Hua Qi
He went chasing people with Ah Liu, and he felt relieved. Putting aside the lunatic Hua Qi, he had absolutely no doubt about Ah Liu's talent in this area.
At that moment, he smiled and said: "If you can really catch someone, your work will be in vain. It will be considered a great achievement."
Thinking that Zhang Shou was joking, Zhang Chen, who almost lost his temper, smiled bitterly. He hesitated for a moment, but decided to ignore what Zhu Ying had said to him, because now he no longer regarded Zhang Shou as anything.
He is a love rival, but he doesn’t want people to think that he is looking for a substitute. With his status and appearance, he is not looking for a beautiful concubine, but a wife. No matter how high the requirements are, it is not too high!
Just as the two of them finished talking and were about to go back to the table, they heard a beaming voice: "Oh, Zhang Chen, you finally figured it out? Let me tell you, you must have had too much wine somewhere before.
Otherwise, why would you say that?"
Wedding tents were set up in more than a dozen large and small courtyards, and eighty tables of banquets were set up. It was impossible for Lu Sanlang to toast and greet every table, that is, he went to more than a dozen tables to toast to those relatively important guests.
It was just a few words of thanks. For some friends of the same generation like Zhu Er, he just said what he meant.
At this time, although Lu Sanlang smelled of alcohol, it was lighter than Zhang Chen's, and his face was much better than Zhang Chen's blushing drunken demeanor. He came up and put his arms around Zhang Chen with a good brother look on his face, as if
He was the peacemaker. Although Zhang Chen was annoyed, he couldn't push away his family's big day, so he had no choice but to cooperate with this fat little fat man to show harmony and closeness in front of others.
Just when Zhang Shouxiao was watching these two guys acting there, there was a commotion outside, and immediately after, the fourth prince who had just been coaxed aside by Big Zhang came out again and shouted happily: "
I heard, someone is coming from the palace outside, it must be my father who gave Senior Brother Lu a message!"
No one would take the fourth prince's words as pure childish talk. After all, the youngest prince in the palace and the most cherished brother of the new crown prince personally came to Lu Sanlang's wedding banquet, so what would happen in the palace?
His attitude was already very clear. If the emperor really gave him the title, it would be just the icing on the cake.
But thinking about it this way, when Zhang Chen heard the report from outside and saw Lu Sanlang going out happily, he couldn't help but feel envious, jealous and hateful again - for him, this kind of emotion is quite rare.
Speaking of the previous one, it probably goes back to... Zhang Shou in front of me.
At that time, when he learned that Zhang Shou was Zhu Ying's fiancé, he almost went crazy with envy!
Many young people rushed out to watch the excitement. Only distinguished guests like Mr. Wu Ge were a little more reserved and remained seated as usual. However, the topic of discussion had also changed at this time. Zhang Shou stood thoughtfully beside Zhang Chen.
, catching a glimpse of people's expressions changing, he thought of the girl Zhu Ying mentioned to him, and he couldn't help but smile.
"Pro-Yuan Xian fish, as retreat webs."
Zhang Chen was suddenly startled, but just when he felt that Zhang Shouruo had something to say, he saw the fourth prince who had also sneaked out to watch the fun before, and who didn't know when he slipped back. The naughty boy, Xiaogui Dadi, walked forward with his hands behind his back, smiling.
He said: "My father gave me the four names Senior Brother Lu and Little Senior Sister-in-law. Teacher, can you guess it?"
In this kind of guessing game, the big guys usually rely on their status, so who would care about it. But now the topic is different, but everyone is happy to express their opinions. Wu Gelao guessed a match made in heaven that was very unoriginal, and a certain
The minister guessed that they would grow old together, and a certain deputy censor guessed that they would fly together... As a result, the fourth prince almost shook his head like a rattle.
Zhang Chen subconsciously wanted to say "Marry a chicken, follow a chicken, marry a dog, follow a dog," but he felt vulgar when the words came to his mouth, and finally endured it. But immediately after, he just heard Zhang Shou beside him say with a smile:
"What Mr. Wu Ge and other elders said just now are certainly good words. But if they are used on Gao Yuan and his new wife, I am thinking..."
"Perhaps the word given by the emperor means that the husband sings and the wife follows?"
At this moment, the fourth prince suddenly looked in disbelief: "Teacher, you can guess this! This is impossible. Before I came out, my father said that he had not thought of what to write!"
Others only thought that the fourth prince and Zhang Shou were acting together, but Mr. Wu Ge knew the emperor well. At this time, he couldn't help laughing and said: "The words "husband and wife follow each other", could it mean that Lu Gaoyuan and his newlywed wife first met each other?
The scene of the encounter? If so, the word given by the emperor is quite appropriate. Academician Zhang can guess it correctly, but he has accurately grasped the emperor's temper."
He began to sigh a little as he spoke: "The emperor has always been informal in giving out calligraphy to people. He has always said that it would be better not to reward people if they are too vulgar. For example, Mr. Jiang Ge at the time, when he got a calligraphy from the emperor, it was 'heart'
"Like a stone." To say that the heart of the dignified chief minister is as strong as a stone, this probably means that the emperor... ahem, I can't say, I can't say."
Zhang Chen didn't care to listen to Mr. Wu Ge's show off. He chewed on the four words "husband singing and wife following". The more he thought about it, the more he felt that these four words were the best praise for a couple. How can we treat each other with eyebrows and respect each other like guests? If we really observe etiquette like this every day
Wouldn’t it be boring to live a life of boredom? In contrast, when a husband and wife have the same mind and cooperate with each other, this is true harmony!
Zhang Shou guessed the word "gift" from the emperor, and Mr. Wu Ge explained it again. The fourth prince rolled his eyes, but then stepped forward and stalked him, asking Zhang Shou if he could think of what the emperor would give him and Zhu Ying at their wedding in the future.
Character.
Zhang Shou, of course, answered the naughty child's fatal question and refused to answer the question at all. Given the emperor's character of teasing people, there was no guarantee that people would do the opposite just because of what he said.
If he boasts about Haikou now, the emperor will dare to give him a painting when he comes back, with the foundation of ink and wash landscape, plus a meticulously crafted rich peony... He will definitely be able to do it today!
Not long after, Lu Sanlang, who had thanked the saint for his grace, came back with joy on his face. But what attracted more attention than him was the scroll in his hand. He came up from the windy ground at his feet and greeted Zhang Shou first.
Then he nodded to all the elders and said with a smile: "I will send the things back to the room to provide for you. I will leave for a while. Please enjoy yourself!"
Seeing the person leave after saying this, Zhang Chen couldn't help but mutter angrily: "Where does the joy come from? Today is your big day, so you must be the one having the most fun!"
"If you are envious, just hurry up!" The fourth prince said casually with his sharp ears. When Zhang Shou received a blow from Zhang Shou, he stuck out his tongue and returned to his original position, but started to eat again.
.
Zhang Shou had just said what needed to be said, and would not continue to overstep his authority at this time. He even took over the responsibilities of Qin Guogong Zhang Chuanna's godson. He immediately returned to the chief with a smile and continued to chat with Mr. Wu Ge. Today in Lu
After this close contact with his family, he felt that his understanding of Mr. Wu Ge had improved a lot.
In the past, he only thought that people were just a yes-man who only knew how to echo the emperor. Now he knew that Mr. Wu Ge had mastered everything with his words and sense of proportion, and he was full of witty words and could make every sentence tick.
You're itching, but most of the time, people just like to express it with that kind of vulgar flattery, hiding their delicate hearts deep inside.
When the wedding banquet was about to break up at nightfall, the higher-status guests, including Mr. Wu Ge, left one by one. When Lu Wan walked to the door in person, Zhang Shou, who was still at the head table and had not left, heard something coming from behind.
