Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 209

Chatted at Lu Deming's house for a long time, and even had dinner with the two old gentlemen before returning to his house.Talking to two old gentlemen is more tiring than walking around the street for a long time.When he got home, Luo Yan couldn't control much, so he lay down on the bed and had a good sleep.

The next day Luo Yan thought about the students in the Hongwen Hall, so he sent people to send invitations to various houses.With Luo Yan's current embarrassing status, it is really a bit painful to have a close relationship with these high-ranking officials and at the same time have friendship with their descendants.

After all, it is a good friendship with these high-ranking officials, but age and official position are on the table, and there are indeed some people who do not want to invite them.Moreover, Beijing officials are not allowed to make friends with foreign officials without authorization. I don't know who came up with this nonsense rule.Although I am only a doctor of state studies, I am still a foreign official, so I should avoid suspicion, and don't bother those old men at Yushitai who gossip all day long.

There is no such confinement when interacting with these second-generation officials. After all, I have a teacher-student friendship with these children.Besides, these children in the Hongwen Museum have not yet entered official positions, and even if they want to catch their tails, they will not be so easy.

It took only a while, and the servants who came back from the prince's mansion reported their replies.Except for the eldest Sun Chong who has already made up his body and cannot reply when he is away, everyone else agrees.Thinking about it, I know that these guys are liberated, and they don't go out to play like spring and summer in winter, and they don't go hunting in autumn.

Now that Luo Yan has come back, how could the fun-loving one meet the fearless one, how could there be no sparks.

The banquet was scheduled for the afternoon two days later, and it was still the same place - Tianranju.Of course, in order for this banquet to be held smoothly, Luo Yan went to Tianranju to make reservations.

Fortunately, there is no one here to drink tea. Although it is a new shopkeeper, Luo Yan has also met.They are not considered acquaintances, but the other party also knows Luo Yan's identity.After talking about his plans for the banquet, he even explained who he would invite in detail, and finally Luo Yan demanded very forcefully: "I'm going to rent two open private rooms on the second floor that day, is that okay? .”

Now that Li Shimin has successfully ascended to the throne, Tianranju is still the royal property.Luo Yan was so high-profile, naturally he didn't want to give Li Shimin any chance to doubt.It is also a great ability to win over the second generation of officials.If Li Shimin misunderstood him, it would be a disaster.

I only heard that the shopkeeper was also very straightforward, and he understood what Luo Yan meant, so he replied without hesitation: "Dr. The two private rooms are connected, and they are independent from other pavilions, so they are not disturbed by others. Presumably, those little father-in-laws will also like it. Not to mention the rest, nature has prepared the best things for Dr. Luo. "

Hearing this, Luo Yan was also very happy, and after thanking him, he directly threw down fifty gold as a deposit.

When it was the turn of the banquet, those students came to visit early in the morning.

The earliest one was of course Luo Yan's best bad friend Qu Tuquan, who was bigger than Chang Sun Chong, but he didn't actively move closer to the officialdom, so that he was still in vain.In his words, it is quite easy to find a job. Why do you have to do this at an age where you can still play.And he is not a student, and he did not do well in the monthly exam at the Hongwen Museum a while ago. No, he has been grounded by his father these days.If Luo Yan hadn't invited him, how could he have been released so early.

Early in the morning, this guy sneaked out under the guise of looking for Luo Yan to reminisce about the old days. He has changed a bit, knowing that he can't be too presumptuous now, so he came directly to Luo Mansion.Being brought to Luo Yan's study by the servants, Qu Tuquan yelled as soon as he entered the door: "I said Brother Luo, you are not in Chang'an now, but you have caused me a lot of trouble." That yell seemed to have been wronged so much Even Luo Yan was in a daze, could it be that he really did something to offend Qu Tuquan?

When Luo Yan was still in a trance, Qu Tuquan opened his chatter box and complained: "You don't know. Since you left, no one has covered up for me, even the Changlefang. There are fewer. Every time the small exams are taken in the Hongwen Museum, I have to suffer from the flesh and blood. Other sons are hand-banged, and my old man took me directly to the army to spank. It’s hard.” He blinked a few times He lowered his eyes, as if he could squeeze out a few tears and make what he said more real.

Luo Yan knew that it was Qu Tuquan who was teasing him, so he didn't expose it, pretending to be very surprised and asking: "Oh, brother Qu Tuquan has suffered a lot. In my opinion, you might as well ask the eldest grandson Chong Generally speaking, it is better to have a strong body and prepare yourself to become an official early than to be with the wives all day. At least the old man will not be able to beat you in the future."

Seeing no comfort from Luo Yan, Qu Tuquan was very depressed when he was greeted with such teasing: "Brother Luo, why don't you say something nice? We haven't seen each other for half a year, even my brother and I are so ruthless. It's so cold. Bo, so I should change the banquet tonight to Changlefang. I just don’t get drunk and don’t come back.”

Curling his lips, Luo Yan scolded angrily: "This is your purpose. If you change to Changlefang tonight, you don't have to go back whether you're drunk or not. Then wouldn't it be miserable for me, and I will welcome you tomorrow?" The anger of many princes came. Don’t forget, Cheng Chubi’s monkeys are also there. If Su Guogong knows that I will take him there, I don’t want to accompany you to suffer disaster.”

Thinking about Cheng Zhijie's love for Cheng Chubi, Qu Tuquan also shivered, and said with a smile: "I'm just talking casually, you know, I didn't go to the second floor of that natural residence for several months. If I want to eat something on weekdays, if I can’t go to the second floor, I will lose my status as a waiter. It was also when the kid Chang Sun Chong was an official, and Tianranju saved face, so he had a good meal on the second floor. Thinking about it now , I’m really hungry for the food there.”

What Qu Tuquan said made Luo Yan smile: "If you want to eat, you can become a petty official yourself, so in the face of Lord Qu Tu, then Tianranju can let you go to the second floor Have a meal."

Now Qu Tuquan had nothing to say, and he was not ashamed, but just looked at Luo Yan with a sad look on his face.

In the following time, those familiar students from Hongwen Hall came to Luo Yan's house one after another, and naturally there was a lot of teasing and laughing at each other.I can only think of a monkey like Cheng Chubi who doesn't have any pressure all day long and is still playing there by himself.

In the blink of an eye, it was the afternoon, and Luo Yan, who had been chatting with these students for a long time, was reminded by the servants to march towards Tianranju with a group of second-generation officials.They were all young people, and they had plenty of time, especially some of them who were grounded by their families, so they insisted on dragging Luo Yan to accompany them on foot.They yelled at everything they saw along the way, which made Luo Yan afraid to recognize them.

It's so embarrassing, everyone is dressed like a dog, but walking on the street looks like Xiaobai who has never seen anything.Even seeing someone else's big girl wearing a red dress, I have to bluff.At the end Luo Yan was directly angry: "If you still look like you have never seen the market, don't expect me to find you again years ago."

With this sentence, the few people are quite at ease, but the eyeballs are still rolling, looking at the things on the street, as if they have been seen in this life.That Yuchi Baolin was even more straightforward, and said to Luo Yan in a rough voice: "Assistant Luo, you don't know that my grandfather threw me into the army for half a month, and every day I was either practicing or practicing. What I ate was military food. The big pot of rice in the middle of the night sleeps on the hard wooden boards in the army. Not to mention this beautiful girl, she can see the colorful colors, and she is still the color of the handsome flag."

Speaking so hard, Luo Yan was impressed.Unexpectedly, Yuchi Jingde was really cruel to his son, the treatment was no different from that of ordinary soldiers.But Yu Chigong must have known in his heart that he came from a poor family, if he didn't train his son well, the family business would be wiped out by the second generation in the future.

As for the others, although they had never suffered in the army, they also had expressions of sympathy.

After walking on the street for a while in the cold wind, I finally arrived at the gate of Tianranju.After sweeping off the snow foam on the body under the buddy's clothes, a group of people went in.

There are two heavens inside and outside the house, and as soon as you enter the door, you feel warm all over your body.Qu Tuquan scolded at the top of his voice: "God, what kind of wind is blowing, it makes my bones a little cold. It's still warm in this natural house, it's not like the dilapidated study where I stayed, with a fire, there is no harm at all." It means warm." In fact, this is a little psychological contrast, could it be that the treatment in his study is worse, but at the moment there are so many people, so I feel warmer in my heart.

I didn't want this yell, but it attracted some ridicule.

"Hey, isn't this Erlang Qu Tu? What's the matter? Today I have some spare money and dare to come to Natural Residence. Seeing that you usually stand at the door and watch, I want to help Brother Qu Tu with a few pennies." The speaker looked at Qu Tu again. Quan leaned towards Luo Yan and the others, and didn't see clearly the appearance of the people behind him, so he continued, "Why, someone invited you today, so you dare to come in for a meal?"

This is quite embarrassing, Qu Tuquan knew who was talking without turning around, and opened his mouth to scold: "I don't have any money, I don't want to be ashamed if I can't go to the second floor. It's not like you who are so poor, you think you are With two copper coins in hand, I thought I was in heaven when I came to the first floor of Tianranju for a meal. Today, I will tell you what status is." After cursing, he winked at Luo Yan.

Luo Yan sighed, for the brother's sake, it was necessary to pretend.Quite cooperatively said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, the two rooms of Guiyun Tayue on the second floor are ready. I'll go up here. If you choose any dishes, you will have two servings. For drinks, the five-year Jiannan Shaochun will be ready for you." Remember when you first entered Beijing, give me five jars and one jar of fruit wine." Such fluent words made the first floor quiet for a while.

Looking at the astonished people, Qu Tuquan smiled.
