I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 36 Zhou Family Birthday Banquet
"Are you saying that you didn't find the magic factor in those wines of Master Registrar?"

After Song Mu asked Li Moer if he was going or not, he got the news from Li Moer. Li Moer went to Master Zhou's mansion last night and rummaged through it, but found nothing in the end.

Those wines were no problem either.

"It's just that there is no problem, so I have to go and have a look."

Li Mo'er got up and said slowly, her eyes narrowed again.

"Master Zhou is such a kind invitation, if you refuse, it's not a good thing." Li Mo'er said this, her eyes rolled, as if she had made some decision, she jumped off the hammock and stood in front of the desk and said to Song Mu.

"Not only you are going, but I am going too."

"How are you going? This invitation only invites me."

Li Mo'er smiled, and said confidently on her small face, "I have my own way."

Song Mu shrugged, since Li Mo'er wanted to go, he couldn't stop him, but since he didn't find the magic cause, Song Mu was even more cautious.

Even if Master Zhou looked harmless to humans and animals that day, he must be a very scheming person to have such a means of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot. What he did behind the scenes was absolutely beyond his imagination.

Besides, the college exam is coming soon, so nothing can go wrong.

……

On August [-]th, Master Zhou held a birthday banquet at the Jade Building in Shiyang County. Shiyang County was full of people, rich gentry and rich merchants came to congratulate them one after another. Officials also dispatched to maintain order.

It was in the evening, Song Mu came here with Kong Zong as soon as he finished school from the county school.

This time Master Zhou hosted a banquet for many scholars from the county school and a group of prestigious students. Song Mu and Sun Xiucai are now heading for the Jade Building together in the carriage of the Kong family with Sun Xiucai.

"Brother Song, Master Zhou's mother's [-]th birthday is today. Last week's birthday banquet, Master Book will definitely ask someone to write a poem. I think you will have to shake out some ink by then."

Kong Zong still had that honest appearance, and said half-jokingly.

Song Mu also smiled: "If the master thinks highly of me, he will naturally make a song, but today Senior Brother Sun and other literati are here, so I don't think it will be my turn."

Sun Xiucai next to him also smiled, but he didn't agree with it.

"Junior Brother Song is really modest. Now that everyone knows that you have written a poem full of talent, it must be for you to write a poem to add to the fun."

"Besides, there are quite a few people vying to get out of such scenes."

Sun Xiucai shook his head helplessly, obviously he also had some understanding of the changes in the current structure of Shiyang County.

Now that the power has fallen, Master Zhou has almost become the real power holder in Shiyang County, and now it seems that Jin Changwu is too likely to go down, Master Zhou may be visible to the naked eye to make up for the other party's shortcomings.

After weighing the pros and cons several times, each wealthy family in the county naturally made its own choice.

They took this birthday banquet as an opportunity to get closer to Master Zhou, and apparently, Master Zhou was also happy to give them this opportunity.

When Song Mu and others arrived at the Jade Building, the place was already buzzing with people. The Jade Building on the third floor was decorated with lights and festoons, and there were a lot of guests.

Song Mu and the others got off the carriage, and immediately a servant came to lead the way. A few well-dressed and happy people were standing at the door to welcome the guests. Song Mu heard from Kong Zong that those people were all relatives of Master Zhou. , Everyone greeted the guests with a smile on their faces.

Song Mu and Sun Xiucai were naturally invited to the second floor together with Kong Zong. As the son of the magistrate, Kong Zong is an extremely important figure here, not to mention that Kong Zong now represents the head of the literati in Shiyang County. valued.

It wasn't until Song Mu walked inside that he realized that it was bustling. The three-storey building with carved beams and painted buildings was completely occupied by Master Zhou today, and a troupe was invited on the first floor. It is very lively at the moment .

"How rich is your family this week?"

After entering the Emerald Building, everyone's address naturally changed from Master Zhou to Master Zhou, and when someone asked such a question, someone next to him immediately explained.

"Master Zhou is a well-off family. I heard that the old man left early, and it was all managed by the old lady. Not only did he support Master Zhou to study, but now he is also building a private school in Suzhou, a field after school, and supporting the children of the family to study."

"This is really a prosperous family, we are beyond our reach!"

"Master Zhou is a dragon and phoenix after all, and now he is quite practical. He will rise to the sky in the future, and we should congratulate him!"

Passing by the second floor, Song Mu heard the guests at several tables chatting with admiration, but Song Mu had seen those people in the Confucian Mansion not long ago.

They looked almost the same then as they do today.

Sure enough, these people with heads and faces all have exquisite mouths.

Song Mu and Kong Zong sat in a private room on the second floor, and there were many children at the same table, and in the private rooms passing through the windows on both sides, most of them were scholars from the county school.

Pan Wenhao was sitting at the other table, talking to Qi Dazuo at the moment, Qi Dazuo was also excited at the moment, and seemed to agree.

Not long after, there was a burst of earth-shattering firecrackers outside the door, and then a young servant was heard shouting at the top of his voice.

"Master Zhou is here!"

After the words were finished, everyone in the private room looked outside, and the guests sitting on the first floor stood up one after another. At the door of the Jade Building, Master Zhou in a red official robe also walked in calmly.

Immediately, greetings sounded one after another, Master Zhou greeted everyone one by one with a smile on his face, and then walked towards the second floor.

Song Mu and the others had already stood up at this moment, and the servant next to him was pouring tea for everyone, but at this moment, Song Mu only felt that the servant shaking in front of him was somewhat indescribably familiar.

The two of them made a sloppy look between their bodies. Song Mu was suddenly taken aback when he saw the big piercing eyes on that ordinary face.

After Song Mu looked over, the boy had already walked out.

That boy is Li Mo'er.

Although he didn't fully see clearly, and what disguise method the other party used on his body, Song Mu was sure that that guy was Li Mo'er.

This little girl also said that she would come a few days ago, but she didn't expect to come by herself, and she even dressed up like this.

Song Mu couldn't leave at the moment, Master Zhou had already walked over there, and Master Xun was leading a group of scholars to congratulate him.

Song Mu could only stand respectfully like Kong Zong.

Soon Master Zhou arrived in the private room of Song Mu and the others, Kong Zong hurriedly bowed and cupped his hands, and Master Zhou who was surrounded by him was also full of red.

"I have thanked Mr. Zhou, and I wish the old lady a long life in Nanshan and a blessing like the East China Sea."

Song Mu and the others said at the same time that Master Zhou was very happy that day, and he walked in immediately, stretched out his hand to help Kong Zong, and scanned the surroundings again, his eyes fixed on Song Mu.

"Thank you for coming to join me. My mother is very happy to know that there are so many talented people here to celebrate her birthday."

While speaking, the director of Zhou Zhou said enthusiastically to Kong Zong.

"Nephew, today's invitation to come here is also to impress everyone's talents. By the way, I will celebrate your courtyard exam in advance. Today I will only disturb you for a while."

"Your Excellency, just say yes, Xiaosheng will never refuse." Kong Zong said decently, Master Zhou glanced at the crowd immediately, and then said with a smile.

"Just now a group of outstanding talents said that they would write two poems for my mother, so Zhou was reckless today. How about you write two poems to make friends with literature later?"
