After finishing the meal, there were no stains on his lips, and he had still wiped them with the silk scarf. He stood up, placed the chopsticks and plates in the bamboo basket, arranged them straightly and folded them, then walked to the entrance of the pavilion, turned back and looked solemn.
In one stroke, it floats away!
From beginning to end, not a word was spoken! It was as if the mouth on the head was only used to stuff food.
The whole meal lasted less than a moment, but those who were interested found that a considerable part of the most expensive plates of food had been eaten away. Unfortunately, there were many people taking the food, and it was not known whether it was taken by others or by the one who seemed to be taking it.
Sven, actually a gluttonous young man?
After everyone disappeared into the corridor of Wanyuan, Dongnuan Pavilion began to slowly regain its vitality. When the young man left, the few guys who wanted to learn how to satisfy their appetites felt a little embarrassed. They were not that good.
The food appearance, not to mention the not-so-thick dough, made him particularly eye-catching among the dozens of ladies and gentlemen as well as the male guests who came with him.
When dozens of people are watching, it is difficult for ordinary people to eat contentedly, and none of them have the rich experience and psychological quality of someone in a cafeteria who can enjoy a meal peacefully in the center of the proprietress's eyeful gaze. Therefore, the more you use it, the more nervous and nervous you become.
The more nervous you are, the more ashamed you are...
"Which young man is that? Such a talented person, so free and uninhibited! Maybe he came in a hurry this morning and didn't eat, right?"
Of course the ladies will not take the initiative to ask, but there are sensible people who have experienced it on their behalf.
Everyone looked at each other, obviously not familiar with this strange young man. Lou Xiaoyi usually lived in seclusion, immersed in his books, and rarely made friends with others. It was only in the past few months that his character had improved, and he only hung out in the so-called market.
among,
Those in the Dongnuan Pavilion belong to the circle of officials, and most of the visitors are family members of various yamen in Pucheng. They are relatively reserved and find foodies like Lou Xiaoyi very novel. If this were to be in another place, such as the Xiahe Pavilion where merchants gather, I am afraid that they would have been
Ridiculed in all kinds of ways, different circles have different styles. Relatively speaking, officials and family members have to know more about their own sense of proportion and will not easily cause trouble to their own families. This is also the way to be an official.
Finally, there was a serving woman, probably a matchmaker like Sister Jin, who hesitated and said:
"I think this young man seems to be the young master of the Lou family. I heard that this young man is slow in speech and clumsy in foreign affairs. He spends all day studying in the mansion, but at the age of seventeen or eight, he still hasn't passed the examination for writing papers.
...I saw them today, and they are very similar in style and behavior, but what is surprising is that under a good skin, there is a good appetite!"
As soon as Mr. Lou was mentioned, everyone suddenly realized that although Lou Xiaoyi rarely appeared in public in Pucheng, he was still a figure that could not be ignored in Pucheng due to his famous Laozi. However, his reputation was a bit crooked. He was a hero.
The attitude of an idiot is the opposite of a person who has no future and is eating his old age. However, looking at it today, it can be regarded as complying with the saying that the surface of a donkey's dung egg is shiny.
The old lady of the Lou Mansion is really good at running the house, but with her appetite, most people really can't resist her!
It's just a joke during a blind date. For men, appearance is important, but ability is even more important. Excellent appearance will inevitably lose to excellent ability. On this point, ladies with official backgrounds understand this thoroughly.
, maybe there is a little bit of surprise at first sight, but after the surprise, it becomes dull. Can you count on such a person?
Dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix, officials and ministers will slip through the cracks... If the young master is so weak, the mother-in-law must be strong. If she marries him, it will be difficult to get along!
People in the officialdom are very sensitive to whether they are in or out of office. An outdated Grand Sima Mansion can be held up as an image, but that's it, it has no practical significance.
Dong Nuan Pavilion has returned to its usual rhythm, and everyone continues to search and weigh in the test; which family's children have more prospects, and which family's father-in-law can give a better boost to the official career... Dong Nuan Pavilion, in a strict sense
, like Xia Heting for merchants, it is nothing more than a place for exchange of interests.
... Lou Xiaoyi walked on the corridor with a slightly bulging belly. Anyway, he finally got back part of the tickets. Unfortunately, Ping An and Lao Jun refused to give up. He could understand that on this occasion, it was...
It is not for the servants to mess around. He can do whatever he wants, but if the servants do the same, he will definitely be said to have no rules in the Lou Mansion.
Ping An took a few steps and corrected his direction, "Master, you have eaten and drank. You should get down to business next, right?"
The spring party on the lake is actually mainly in the morning. The sun is strong in the afternoon and the ladies are weak, so they can't last long.
It’s only an hour before the end of the battle, and there’s not much time left for you. If you don’t go and miss the important event that the mistress has assigned you, you may not care, but Lao Jun and I are afraid that we will suffer!”
Listening to Ping An talking about himself, Lou Xiaoyi also knew that there was no way to avoid it. Raising his head or shrinking his head would be a blow. It was his own business and there was no reason to let two servants hold the vat, so he didn't argue and went straight to Chunyu Pavilion.
And go.
In the midst of Ping An's chatter, he finally understood the differences between the various small groups at the Lake Spring Festival. Dongnuanting was a purely official circle. Those who did not have enough weight in the family to be officials would not dare to come in. The rich and powerful
, the power is still ahead, even the richest man in Pucheng, the Li family, does not dare to squeeze into this circle.
Xiahe Pavilion is the headquarters of a merchant family. In terms of bright and luxurious clothing, the four pavilions are unparalleled.
Qiu Feng Pavilion is a hodgepodge. There is no fixed circle. The children of the family who feel that they cannot go to the other three circles just huddle together here to keep warm. They are also a group with the lowest social status.
The Chunyu Pavilion that Lou Xiaoyi is going to is a pavilion of elegance. You can be a descendant of an official, a merchant, or something else, but there is a prerequisite, you must be a scholar, whether you are a young lady or a gentleman, you must
Have the ability to take action, play chess, calligraphy and painting, or have the status of writing documents.
This is a circle with great potential, because future officials may be born among them, so it is also the only place where civilians can participate. Of course, you must have Wen Li status, outstanding poetic talent, and the ability to
It was recognized by Pucheng scholars.
With his skin like Lou Xiaoyi, he could stand out among the subordinate staff with sharp heads climbing up in Dongnuan Pavilion; he might also be able to stand out among the copper-smelling businessmen in Xiahe Pavilion, but in Chunyu Pavilion, he would not be so conspicuous.
His simplicity is very outstanding, but there are many here who are more simple than him. He is frugal, while others are really frugal. He is a commoner's son. He is talented, arrogant, and may have a great future. He is not interested in the wealth in front of him.
I can't quite see it, many people have a look of disdain in their eyes, but I can replace it with a look of disdain.
It just so happens that those ladies who know something about poetry and literature still accept this tune.
A rich lady and a poor scholar, that's a perfect match!
This is a badly written story in a storybook, but it has been passed down from generation to generation and has endured for a long time.
What girl doesn’t have in her heart the idea that the poor scholar she once fell in love with will be named on the gold medal list and become a legend in everyone’s mouth?
