Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

At noon, many students from Shangpin Academy had gathered in Shuxiang Restaurant.

Liu originally thought that it must be very difficult for Lu You to invite these people, so she wanted to help entertain them to avoid some embarrassment.

But who would have thought that as soon as those students entered the restaurant, they all bowed solemnly to Lu You and behaved very respectfully.

"Luyo, what's going on?"

Liu pulled Lu You aside and asked in a low voice.

"These students are usually very arrogant, why are they so polite to you?"

Lu You thought for a moment and said, "People who eat the food should be polite. Scholars are very polite."

Widow Zhou: “???”

Haven’t you eaten it yet?

By the end of noon, more than 30 students had gathered on the first floor of Shuxiang Restaurant.

Everyone sat down naturally according to their usual closeness to each other, and they were all polite to each other.

The conversations between scholars are much more elegant than those between ordinary diners.

In addition to some reading notes, poems and songs, the content also includes criticisms of current affairs.

Seeing this scene, even Liu couldn't help but sigh.

"This is what your uncle Zhao had in mind when he first opened the restaurant."

Lu You smiled slightly after hearing this.

In fact, in previous lives, countless people wanted to open a small shop with sentimental value like Zhao Wenbo.

Maybe it's a pub, or a coffee shop, or a study, a youth hostel, or a late-night restaurant...

What everyone wants to do at the beginning is to express their feelings, but in the end they still can't escape from money and worldly things.

Either the companies that generate electricity for love go bankrupt due to losses, or the businessmen lose their original intention in pursuit of profits.

Those so-called sentiments are, in the end, nothing more than gimmicks to trick people into spending money.

At this time, wine and food had been prepared on several tables on the first floor, but no one dared to start eating.

It was because the table in the middle of the front was still empty, and the person sitting there was the protagonist of today, Guan Shanyue.

"Did you hear Mr. Guan promise to come with his own mouth?" Lu You looked at Lu Yi beside her. This was the third time she asked.

Lu Yi nodded slightly when he heard this: "Second sister, Mr. Guan is a great scholar. Since he has agreed, he should not break his promise."

Lu Yi's tone was calm, but there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

Because they all knew that Lu Ming was in the dungeon at this moment, and might be suffering unimaginable torture, or even dead.

If Mr. Guan arrives here earlier, Lu You can start the follow-up plan to rescue Lu Ming earlier.

Just as Lu You was waiting anxiously, a student put away his folding fan and walked forward.

"Miss Lu, do you still recognize me?"

Looking at the young man in front of him, Lu You returned the greeting with a smile.

"How could I not recognize Master Qin?"

The person who spoke to him was none other than Qin Kesong, who had insisted on competing with Lu You in couplets in the academy a few days ago.

Hearing that there was no disgust in Lu You's tone, Qin Kesong breathed a sigh of relief.

"I offended you last time about the couplets. I hope you will forgive me."

Seeing Qin Kesong's hesitant look, Lu You frowned slightly.

I thought to myself, this boy is so hesitant, could he be secretly in love with me?

Lu You was just thinking about it when he saw Qin Kesong bow again.

"Miss Lu, since I heard what you said in the academy, I realized that my previous behavior of showing off my talent was really ridiculous."

"I came here today to apologize to you, but also to resolve the doubts in my heart."

"A few days ago, my classmates and I studied the couplets hanging outside for a long time but we still couldn't figure it out."

"I wonder if Miss Lu could give us some advice and help us solve our doubts!"

Following Qin Kesong's words, the discussion among the students present gradually subsided and everyone fell silent.

Looking at everyone, Lu You smiled and shook his head.

"I said it that day, this is not a couplet but a riddle."

"To be honest, I'm making up the riddle in order to find someone who can guess the answer."

"So I'm sorry that I can't tell you the answer."

After hearing what Lu You said, everyone felt sorry but did not ask any more questions.

At this moment, a student sitting by the window shouted.

"Mr. Guan is here!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked outside the door and saw Guan Shanyue walking slowly towards them in a white shirt.

Seeing this, Lu You and others hurriedly ran outside to greet them.

Everyone in Shuxiang Restaurant, plus more than thirty students from Shangpin Academy, stood on both sides outside the restaurant.

Such a grand scene attracted the attention of people on the entire Xing'an Street.

Guan Shanyue came to Lu You and the others and said, "Miss Lu, I am here!"

"It is a great honor for the younger generation to have Mr. Guan here!" Lu You bowed respectfully.

Guan Shanyue put his hands on Lu You and helped her up, saying with a smile: "To be honest, Miss Lu, the four sentences you left in the academy that day gave me a lot of insights."

"Even now when I think of it, I still feel overwhelmed with emotion."

"If all the scholars in the world have the same ambition as you, why would our Wu Kingdom not prosper?"

Hearing Guan Shanyue's words, Lu You smiled modestly.

"Sir, thank you for your compliment. The four lines of Hengqu were not from my mouth. I am just repeating the words of the ancient sages."

"Your character is a model for students all over the world."

[Negative emotions from Lu Yi +30, +30, +30...]

Lu You and the other man flattered each other and gave each other enough face before they entered the restaurant together.

Zhao Wenbo is also a student of Shangpin Academy. Except for Mr. Guan, almost everyone present has eaten here before.

Liu was familiar with everyone, so she started to greet them right away. For a while, both the host and the guests were having a great time as they toasted each other.

Just as the banquet was getting into full swing, Lu You raised the glass in his hand and stood up.

"Everyone! Listen to me for a moment."

Hearing the voice, everyone looked forward.

Seeing that everyone's attention was on him, Lu You smiled and spoke.

"You are all my father's classmates. I am holding a banquet today to thank you for your care for my father in the past."

"The second is to apologize for disturbing your studies in the academy a few days ago."

"This glass of wine is for everyone. Lu You will drink it first as a sign of respect!"

As he was speaking, Lu You raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

When the students saw this, they all cheered, and many even raised their glasses to drink as a gesture of return.

Lu Yi held the wine jug and hurriedly filled Lu You's glass with wine again.

"This glass of wine is for Mr. Guan!"

After hearing Lu You's words, Guan Shanyue straightened his body slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Because he understood that the highlight of the meal was about to begin.

"That day, Ma Zhanshan embezzled the writing fees of my sister and me, and it was Mr. Guan who did justice for us."

"Although it's only two taels of silver, it's life-saving money for my sister and me."

Lu You spoke sincerely, and Guan Shanyue waved his hand gently upon hearing it.

"Things are supposed to be like that. I'm just talking about it. Don't take it too seriously."

Seeing that Guan Shanyue had given him a ladder, Lu You hurriedly spoke again.

"Who in the world doesn't know that Master Guan is upright and honest?"

"I have great respect for you, but I have no way to express it. I can only write a poem. I hope you don't mind."
