So I play chess

Chapter 135 The Absurdity of the Prefect Aunt

Li Mao's series of actions and words made the noisy environment gradually quiet down.

It's one thing to be friendly with others, it's another thing to have someone overstepping.The host hadn't opened up yet, and the guests acted on their own initiative. Didn't you see many servants with knives standing beside them?

What's more, this is too blunt, and I don't know where Liu Zhu found such a master book, it's very immoral.

At this time, on the outermost layer of the table, on the side of those people in the market, there were attendants brought by various masters standing there, among them was Zheng De who was the first to check on Yang Wantang's residence.

Zheng De was far away, so he couldn't recognize him clearly. He only thought Li Mao looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

However, none of you present was really worried about Li Mao, although he knew that the prefect's aunt would not dare to punish the decent officials in the government office, let alone kill them.But even a few reprimands to change his face, and then a few words with Liu Zhu would be enough for him, so he held the mentality of watching the excitement, and watched with cold eyes what would happen to him next.

Only Zheng Tong came first to speak out: "Master Li doesn't drink too much, everyone is curious, you should be in a hurry."

As Zheng Tong said, he got up and was about to pull Li Mao back.

He did this not only to break the siege, but also to sell Li Mao's personal favor, and also to make a good scene for Wen Gu.

But before he stepped on his feet to attend the meeting, he heard Wen Gu say: "It's okay, I'm here today to invite you to enjoy this thing, Master Li, just take a look if you want to see it."

As soon as Wen Gu said this, Zheng Tong couldn't move anymore.

Li Mao got permission, and with a drunken smile, he stretched out his hand and tore off the dark blue cloth covering it.

The crowd was indeed curious. They invited everyone here with such a great fanfare, what kind of new thing they wanted to show, and their eyes were all focused on it.

However, no one understood what it was.

This thing sits on the ground as a whole, with a round carving in the middle, with two flat ends, a slightly narrow top, and a slightly wider base.It is said to be a stone carving, but it is actually a whole piece of adobe fired, and a large vat that was turned upside down on the ground.

Wen Gu originally wanted Li Xun to make a stone sculpture, but according to her request, both the working hours and the difficulty were quite high, so Li Xun asked her about her specific requirements and details, and proposed such a plan. Wen Gu readily agreed and followed suit. up.

Everyone took a closer look, and the exposed part was finely carved with many plants, flowers and birds. Although the sun shines clearly, no matter where they sit, they can only see one side, which is incomplete.

Wen Gu said without losing the opportunity: "If you want to see it, please go up and see it."

Since the master has spoken, everyone should show some face, and everyone who has any ideas in their minds got up and left their seats to come and have a look.Li Mao, who was drunk, simply leaned on the side, watching their movements cheerfully.

Zheng Tong naturally also came forward, but first gently supported Li Mao and pulled him away, and said in a nice voice: "Master Li, come this way, this is a rare item, you can't touch it."

"Rare items?" Li Mao replied seriously.

Zheng Tong nodded quickly and said "Yes" twice.

Li Mao suddenly realized, and leaned in front of Zheng Tong.Zheng Tong thought he was going to say something to him, so he hurried up to meet him, but just in time for Li Mao to let out a big belch, which made Zheng Tong hold his breath, Li Mao took advantage of the situation and put his hand on Zheng Tong's shoulder, Loudly said: "What a rare thing, isn't it just a piece of broken stone skin with carved flowers?"

The voice was quite loud and completely overwhelmed the discussion among the crowd. Zheng Tong let out a "hey" and looked at Wen Gu from the crowd first. Seeing that her expression was half a smile, he hurriedly said to Li Mao in a low voice, "Careful!" Yan," and forced him to sit aside.

Of course everyone present heard that sentence just now, but after a moment of silence, they all became lively again as if they hadn't heard it.

However, no one dared to step forward to touch it, and just looked at it carefully in circles not too far away.

But after watching for a long time, no one can tell why. Of course, some of them have read poetry and books, staring at these lifelike patterns but do not know what they mean, but they can't find half of the allusions. Some tasteless words like "ingenious workmanship" and "lifelike".

After flattering for a long time, no one explained the mystery, everyone thought about it, this kind of situation, let the prefect aunt herself look like she has a delicate mind and a lot of knowledge.

Judging from her behavior in the past few days, perhaps this is her original purpose and it is unknown.

Those who thought it through had to say that they were ignorant, and wanted to go back and sit down, but they heard someone shout: "If you don't understand, get out of the way, I'll see!"

Everyone quickly looked at the person who made the noise, but it turned out to be a drunk man sitting on the outermost floor. He was dressed in a gentle manner, but he was full of drunkenness while holding a wine jar. He was probably a person who was used to hanging out in wine shops.

There were two or three sporadic people around who shouted: "Hua Juzi has read a lot of poetry and books, you have to take a good look, is this thing a wine jar or a wine basin?"

The man named Hua Juzi spat at them jokingly, then staggered forward.

Everyone thought he smelled filthy, and they didn't want to get involved with this kind of person, so they stepped aside to make way for him.

It's just that there was a master in the crowd who couldn't bear it anymore, and cursed: "Where is the drunk, don't go crazy here, get out."

Hua Juzi gave him a sideways glance, twisted the corner of his mouth, and suddenly spat at him. The old man hurriedly dodged, his eyes widened with anger, and he was about to come forward to teach him a lesson, but he was finally pulled away by the people around him, and whispered Some words of persuasion such as "The master's family is not at fault, why are you making a fuss here."

Hua Juzi didn't care about anything else, and circled around the jar or basin.

"What do you guys think of this pot?"

Everyone was looking at the drunk man, but when they heard the voice of the prefect's aunt who had been watching the bustle, they all looked at her.

Some people suddenly realized the long "Oh" and said "It turned out to be a basin", which caused a burst of contempt in the hearts of everyone.

"I've heard a lot of sayings these days." Wen Gu continued with a smile on his lips, "Everyone says Li Langjun is very handsome, but I think he is very capable."

Everyone responded after hearing the words, but they thought in their hearts, "That's not true, this white-faced young man is really good at being charming".

But Wen Gu said again: "This pot was carved and fired by Li Langjun within three days, and it was given to me. It is ingenious and exquisite in workmanship. I like it very much. Do you think it is also good?"

Only then did the people present suddenly realize that such a big scene was arranged to show off this matter. It was absurd to act, but they could only pander to it with a cheeky face.

Before he could say a few words, he heard a "boom", followed by a murky sound of clattering.

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see that half of Hua Juzi's arm hadn't entered the basin.

This is a punch that leaks what I don't know whether it should be called the mouth of the basin or the bottom of the basin.
