Chapter 73

Wu Zhenzhen did not expect to meet the famous young champion in Jinling.At that time, seeing a rough portrait in Miss Wen's boudoir and a few words of praise from others did not make her much interested in this person.It wasn't until the first meeting that night that she realized that Miss Wen's cherished little portrait was not as important as him himself.It was also at that time that she finally believed that there really was such a dazzling person in this world.

"This Cheng Fu comes from Duke Liang's mansion, so it's not surprising that he met Xu Zhilie."

"But the two are too close."

"It's rare for other people, but it's common for Cheng Fu. She shows up in public every day, and she comes and goes with traders who are full of copper. Have you ever seen her feel ashamed? It's worse than that in the flower building."

"I don't know how Xu Zhuangyuan has friendship with her."

Who doesn't like a beautiful man with stunning talents, and the girls are about the same age and unmarried, Wu Zhenzhen can promise to go out with his heart, and the others naturally have the same thoughts.

Wu Zhenzhen didn't remember how long she stayed in the tavern, but she only remembered that after Xu Ye left, she felt uncomfortable.I even regretted not saying a few words.After returning home, the descendants were also silent, and they developed a fever that night, which frightened Guo.

"What are you doing in that kind of place?" Leaving aside the grievances between the Wu family and the Cheng family, let's just say that the tavern is not something a girl like Wu Zhenzhen should go to.In Guo's eyes, her daughter's entry into any shop in Jinling City is a condescension.This time it was fine, I went to Cheng Fu's place and came back sick.Guo even believed that it was Cheng Fu who was hit and bad, the broom star, and whoever got it was unlucky.

Hongyu has been with Wu Zhenzhen since she was a child, and she listened to the conversations of several girls last night. Although her own lady didn't say much, her eyes kept following the legendary Xu Zhuangyuan. She still didn't understand.The lady has someone in mind.

"My servant only knows that a few ladies want to listen to Mr. Ma's storytelling."

Hearing this, Mrs. Guo remembered Yao Liyu's previous disputes with Ma Xiaodong and Cheng Fu, and hated the Cheng brothers and sisters even more.Ever since the brothers and sisters came to Jinling, everything that happened was related to them.

"Have a tea party and invite him to come home, and he is not allowed to go to that kind of smoky place in the future." Guo scolded several women and maids in Wu Zhenzhen's courtyard.

Hongyu hesitated to speak.

"What do you want to say?"

"Ma'am, Mr. Ma doesn't work outside the home." Mrs. Guo actually forgot about Yao Liyu's lawsuit that caused a lot of trouble not long ago.

However, Mrs. Guo did not forget, "Hmph, the Yao family can't be called, the Wu family...does he dare not come?" To put it bluntly, it is not because the Yao family has a low status in the aristocratic family.

"Mother, there is no need to invite Mr. Ma." Wu Zhenzhen's weak voice came from the bed.

Guo immediately opened the curtain and walked into the inner room, holding her little daughter in her arms and feeling distressed, "You are the debt of my previous life."

"Mother, do you still remember the son who had a misunderstanding with his brother that night?" Wu Zhenzhen grew up pampered, and his health is not bad, and he doesn't often get sick, and this rare time is not serious.

Guo Shi naturally remembered, after all, Xu Ye's external conditions are hard to forget at a glance, "It's not a misunderstanding, because of him last year, Wu Liang lost a hand. Your brother still holds grudges."

"If my brother knew who he was, there would be no such thing." Wu Zhenzhen said patiently.

Mrs. Guo looked at her daughter's slightly pale face, "How can there be someone decent around that wild girl."

"Mother, that is the son of Mr. Xu, the prime minister of the Six Departments, and the youngest number one scholar in this dynasty, Xu Zhilie. He is currently editing and writing in the Imperial Academy."

Mrs. Guo opened her mouth halfway, "What, what? Impossible?" The Xu family, one of the emperor's confidantes, is so famous that even she, a woman who only cares about the inner house all the year round, has heard of it a lot. "No wonder he dared to challenge your brother. He is a son of an official family." Guo was just surprised, but he didn't think highly of the other party because of his status.

Wu Zhenzhen still understands her mother, and she is not persistent. Let her change her mind now, "One more friend is better than one more enemy. Mother, according to my daughter, our family held a small banquet a few years ago, and invited Mr. Xu to come and meet my brother. , clear up the misunderstanding, and there will be less trouble in the future."

Mrs. Guo didn't buy it, "This is Jinling, does he still want to make things difficult for your brother?" In Mrs. Guo's knowledge, there are only two places in this world, Jiangnan and places other than Jiangnan.In Jiangnan, it's what the Wu family says.The people from the Tian family are all shorter than the Wu family.

"Mother, aside from other things, Xu Zhilie is a real talent. Don't you always worry about your brother's schoolwork? You won't lose much if you make friends with Zhuangyuan Lang." Wu Zhenzhen still persuaded softly.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Guo felt that her daughter's words made sense. Although Wu Ziqi's homework was passable, she could only be ranked at the top of the list in Jinling.She had already heard many people secretly discussing that Wu Ziqi's qualifications were mediocre and that he would be embarrassed in the future.I was so angry that I couldn't sleep.

Wu Ziqi is her destiny. This son will be the suzerain of the Wu family in the future, and he is the only one in the Jiangnan family.She couldn't bear anyone who said that he was not good at half a sentence.But even if he cares about it himself, Wu Ziqi's performance in these years is really not outstanding.She also hopes that her son has the strength to make others shut up.

"But your brother may not be willing to associate with Xu Chilie." My son knows it himself, so he is not generous.

"That's why I asked my mother to come forward. As long as you tell your father about Mr. Xu's background, your father will definitely agree. Maybe you will say that your mother knows the general situation." She had never done this kind of thing before, and it was inevitable that Wu Lingzuo would be suspicious of her if she suggested it suddenly. Doubts arose about the real purpose, so it would be best for Mrs. Guo to come forward in this matter.

On the second day, Cheng Fu received an invitation from Guo, inviting their siblings and Xu Ye.She read it right, Xu Ye's name was written at the front.Obviously the Wu family already knew his identity, and Wu Zhenzhen should have made a lot of efforts to facilitate this matter.Cheng Fu sneered and passed the post to the servants, and asked them to post a few small gifts, and went back to the people sent by the Wu family, saying that the masters had a lot of work to do and couldn't get away, and the Wu family's small banquet not going.

This is a small matter in the Cheng family, but it is a big deal in the Wu family.It is rare for Guo Shi to send out posts and be sent back like this. After all, whoever she sends a post is tantamount to flattering someone.Cheng Fu's refusal was too obvious, and even the reasons were far-fetched, which was slapping her in the face.

Wu Zhenzhen didn't expect that Cheng Fu would refuse. She had never encountered such a thing since she was a child, and her self-esteem was hurt all at once, and her concern for Cheng Fu became more and more serious. "Mother, Cheng Fu decided that we were going to have a Hongmen banquet and wanted to stand up for my elder brother, so he refused. It's better to let Wu Ying go." Now no one in Jinling knows that Wu Ying is also in Lianghexuan.

After some deliberation, Guo Shi had to admit that the most suitable person was indeed Wu Ying, but it was impossible for her to humbly ask Wu Ying for help, neither Xu Ye, Cheng Fu nor Wu Ying was worthy of her.She would rather not hold this small banquet than lose the face of the first family's wife.

"There are countless talented and learned generations in the south of the Yangtze River, and I don't think it is necessary to make friends with Beijing officials." Guo Shi asked for a reason, but already hated Cheng Fu in his heart.A wild girl with no power, no power, and a smell of copper dare not take her seriously, just wait and see.

Wu Zhenzhen saw that Guo's complexion was not good, so he didn't insist.

Seeing that her daughter was not stalking, Mrs. Guo's initial doubts about her daughter's motives disappeared.She thought that her daughter made this proposal because she was really thinking of her brother, so she blamed Cheng Fu and Xu Ye for taking themselves seriously.

The next day, there was another post sent to Cheng Cheng's family, but this time Cheng Fu couldn't push it down because of Xu Ye.

The second master of the Jing family, Jing Yuanjia, was a fellow magistrate in Jiangzhou, and he didn't know where he learned that Xu Ye was in Jinling, so he sent the invitation without saying hello.

"Send it back." Without even thinking about uttering three words, Xu Ye opened the bow and arrow, and hit the bull's-eye for the eighth time.

Cheng Fu frowned, "Are you here to accompany me, or to show off?"

"I'll teach you." Glancing at Luo Xing, who was gloating beside him, Xu Ye felt an inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart.

Jing Yuanjia didn't expect that Xu Ye would show no mercy, so he refused the invitation.He thought for a long time but couldn't understand why he had offended the Lord.It was still Jing Yuanze who couldn't bear to see it anymore and just said it out.

"Is that Xu Hanlin an ordinary person?"

It was only then that Jing Yuanjia realized that he had made a mistake, because Xu Ze was too popular, he ignored that Xu Ye was also an official, was compiled by the Imperial Academy, and was the youngest number one scholar since the founding of Dai Viet.Xu Ye didn't suffer at all when the matter of the Ning family got into trouble, which shows the emperor's tendency.

So early the next morning, Jing Yuanjia went to Cheng's house in person.

Whoever received the guests was in charge of receiving them, especially when he heard that it was Jing Yuanjia himself, Cheng Fu was even more in a mood to deal with it.If it was Jing Yuanze, she would be happy to see it.

Xu Ye didn't intend to let her show up, so Jing Yuanjia saw Xu Ye himself as soon as he came.In the end, the banquet was still going.

"It's really persistent." Guang Zhi sympathized with Xu Ye, and finally came to Jinling to meet the person he wanted to see, so many things happened.

"It's very troublesome." Xu Ye turned and went to the study.

The annual gifts of the tavern continued to reach the guests one after another. Sure enough, the multiplayer war chess became very popular, and counterfeit products appeared within a few days.Qian Shan was angry and helpless.Fortunately, the multiplayer war chess customized by the tavern is meticulous, the materials are exquisite, it is not easy to damage, it can be carried around, and it also has the iconic seal cutting.The counterfeit products are not even in shape, and because there are more than one imitators, the prices are very cheap.Qian Shan found that the "authentic" war chess in the tavern not only did not drop in price, but was even more highly speculated in the market.He was also less angry.

Cheng Fu didn't have any emotions, since she wanted to give it to guests, she didn't mind popularizing it.Playing this requires literacy. If everyone can play, it means that at least some illiterate people have begun to read.As for the issue of counterfeiting, she will not be entangled either.This kind of thing can't be prevented at all. There are restaurants borrowing from their models in Beijing and Jinling one after another, and she can't care about it.She is well aware of the reality of the market, so it is useless to be anxious. Only by making her brand deeply rooted in the hearts of the people can she remain invincible for a long time.

Jingfu
Xu Ye guessed that the trip was unlikely to be peaceful, so instead of leaving Guang Zhi at Cheng's house, he took Guang Zhi with him.I plan that if I accidentally follow someone else's way, I also have a personal certificate.To save the little girl from misunderstanding.But Guang Zhi didn't think so, Xu Ye seldom asked him to accompany him, since he specifically mentioned it this time, it means that the Jing family's banquet is no different from the Hongmen banquet.So he pulled out the little wooden stick that had been neglected for several days from the bed, and took it with him.

Most of Jing Yuanjia's banquets this time were officials, ranging from county magistrates to magistrates, senior ministers from the six ministries... as long as they happened to be in Jinling, they all received his invitation.That's why Xu Ye met Xue Youzhi again.

"When did you arrive?" Xue Youzhi was surprised that the other party would come to Jinling again.
