General, this plot is wrong

The Chu family in Yangzhou has always had a good face. For this face, Chu Dafu and the Liao family will not do anything to Chu Heng on the surface.

Therefore, Chu Heng lived comfortably in the west chamber for a few days. On the second day of the first lunar month, the Chu family held a banquet at home as in the past, entertaining relatives and friends who had business contacts this year.

The banquet of the Chu family is called the Xiaomei Banquet.Because the place used to entertain male guests and female relatives is always set in the Chu family's vestibule and backyard full of plum blossoms.

The climate in Yangzhou has little snow, even in winter, there is no thick layer of snow like in the north.Although the elegance of plum appreciation has been reduced due to lack of snow, the annual Xiaomei Banquet is still very popular.

Waking up early in the morning, Chu Heng called all the maids and servants in the west chamber to him, ordering them not to come in and out at the banquet at will.

"If I can be lazy, I will definitely lie on the couch for a whole day." Chu Heng touched Wuwei's brain helplessly, "But since everyone has called me back, I still need to show my face at the Xiaomei Banquet " He looked at Bai Zhu, "If something happens in front of you later, don't stand out, so as not to be caught by others."

Unlike Shao Aniu, Wuwei and Baishu are free agents. Both brothers sold themselves to the Chu family.When the family was separated, the predecessor obtained the contract of selling their lives from Chu Dafu, but if something happened, it would be very easy for the Chu family to kill the two children.

Wuwei was young, so he might not understand the meaning of it, but Baihou tightened his back and obviously understood: "Sanlang went to the front, so be careful."

"It's just a banquet, not a dragon's pond or a tiger's lair." Chu Heng smiled, his eyes flickering, "As long as they don't make things difficult for me, I will always save face for others. Take care of this side of the West Chamber, don't let people take care of you." In and out, even if it belongs to Mrs. Lang, let him come after the banquet is over."

"Yes." Bai Shu looked serious, and Wu Wei saluted respectfully.

Standing under the veranda of the west wing, Chu Heng gathered the fur coat on his body, thinking about which outfit Xiaomei would wear to the banquet.

Just as he was thinking, Chu Dalang walked over from the East Chamber with a little maid holding a suit of clothes.

"Sanlang has just returned home, so he didn't have time to find a tailor to make clothes. This is a new dress made when my elder brother was your age, and it was pressed to the bottom of the box after wearing it only once. Today's Xiaomei banquet is full of guests, so don't miss it. It's a gift."

Chu Heng blinked, watching his cheap elder brother shake off the folded clothes and put them on him, with a smile that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and said words of thanks.In my heart, I rolled my eyes.

Wouldn't it be impolite to wear a style from a few years ago to meet customers?

It's time for Xiaomei's banquet.Before the time came, the married Erniang of the Chu family brought her husband and son-in-law into the house.

At that time, Chu Heng was being brought by Chu Dalang to talk with Liao Shi in the flower hall.The mother and son chatted happily, and they were pointing at the list of Xiaomei Yan's posts.Chu Heng on the side drank his tea with his head down, only making it transparent.

Hearing the servant girl's report, Liao threw down the list in her hand and hurriedly asked the maid beside her to welcome Chu Erniang into the flower hall.

"Aniang!" Chu Erniang walked into the flower hall happily, and hurriedly saluted when she saw Mrs. Liao sitting on top.He called out "Brother" coquettishly to Chu Dalang again.

Chu Dalang responded happily.

The year before last, Erniang Chu married the fourth son of the Chen family who had business dealings with the Chu family. Chen Silang was quite up-to-date, and he gained a reputation last year, which made Erniang Chu more honorable in front of others.So Xiaomeiyan and the couple wanted to attend whatever they said.

Before Chu Erniang sat down, Chu Dalang suddenly said to the side: "Sanlang, this is Erniang."

Chu Erniang was stunned, turned her head to look, and saw a young gentleman put down the teacup on the side of the flower hall, got up and saluted slightly, and couldn't help breathing.

She had always known that her concubine elder brother had a good face, but even though this man in front of her was wearing an outdated winter coat, with hair like crow feathers, face as white as jade, and a pair of phoenix eyes with warm eyes, she was still as beautiful as ever. It was so beautiful that people were envious, and couldn't help but became annoyed.

"Why did Saburo come back?"

Chu Heng raised his eyebrows.In the memory of her predecessor, Chu Erniang, like the Liao family, did not have any affection for him as a concubine.

Since childhood, he was not allowed to appear in front of her. If he slipped under her nose, he would beat or scold him.When she got older, Erniang Chu learned a little bit about her face, and she put on the attitude of a sister in the open, and the queen was still very disgusted.

"Sister, my father sent the steward to the villa a few years ago, and specifically told me to go home for the New Year." Chu Heng explained, and then looked at Chu Dalang.Perhaps in order not to make Chu Erniang lose his temper, Chu Dalang hurriedly waved his hand to let Chu Heng go out first.

Chu Heng was at ease, saluted decently, made a look of grievance, and walked out of the flower hall with his head down.

He had just stepped out of the flower hall with his front feet, when he heard Chu Erniang's shrill voice on his back feet.

"Why did you call him back for the New Year?" In the flower hall, the voices of the Chu family's mother and son could be faintly heard, and occasionally Chen Silang's comforting voice could be heard.

"This kid's wings are stiff, and he sent all the stewards and others to see the officials!"

"What's the matter? It's just a steward. When you see an official, you see the official! Auntie, you said last time that if you add something to the medicine he drinks, his life will be worn out after a long time. How do I see his spirit? very good!"

"Maybe it's because of his fate!" Liao's voice was full of anger, "I asked the stewards to prescribe medicine several times, and those bastards also prescribed medicine in private, but they couldn't swallow his life , Just like a monster!"

"No, I feel annoyed when I see him. Brother, you must disgrace him at Xiaomei's banquet later! What kind of child prodigy, isn't he just a waste who can defecate in the imperial examination!"

Chu Heng, who had already left the flower hall, rolled his eyes generously.

Look up at the sun, it's time.

Walking out of the flower hall, we arrived at the vestibule in a short while, where Chu Dafu and a few stewards around him were welcoming the guests with smiles on their faces.The maids welcome the female guests to the backyard, while the male guests are all led into the front court.

Chu Heng gathered the clothes on his body, followed Mei Xiang all the way to the banquet.

He was already in good shape, and with the fact that he was recuperating with the pills made by Goldfinger during this period, Chu Heng's condition was getting better and better.It is completely different from the sick and weak body in the mirror.

He just casually stood aside, and immediately attracted the attention of many people.Countless eyes fell on him.

There is surprise, but also suspicion.

"Who is this?" A familiar guest asked Chu Dafu in confusion.

"It's a dog. Line three, small characters Yantang."

After saying three things, the visitors suddenly became enlightened.

Isn't the young gentleman of Xingsan the little child prodigy of the Chu family who passed the children's department at a young age but failed to be appointed for some reason?

I heard that she had passed the imperial examination, but failed to get an official position due to an accident. Later, she took the Chu family's property and went to Yuncheng.

In this way, more and more eyes fell on Chu Heng.However, Chu Heng didn't seem to be aware of these probing gazes at all, instead he kept staring at the plum trees in full bloom in the courtyard.

The plum blossoms in the courtyard are blooming very well, like thousands of pink rouge being dotted among the branches with skillful hands.

Chu Heng looked at the plum blossoms for a while, and when he looked away, he seemed to realize the sizing up of others, blushed suddenly, and bowed his head shyly in salute.

Everyone has a love of beauty, even the most unmanly guests, seeing Chu Heng's rouge-like cheeks, couldn't help but smile kindly.

But some people like it and some don't.

Seeing his appearance, Chen Silang snorted coldly.

All the guests have arrived, and the Xiaomei Banquet begins.

Chu Dafu picked up his wine glass and raised his voice: "Everyone—it's a great honor for Chu to be appreciated by you at today's little plum feast. Come, Chu will do it first!"

The Chu family is in business, and there are no sour toasts. They drink when the glass is full and pour it when it is empty.

Although Chu Heng is a common son, he is the heir of the Chu family after all.The seat was placed by Chu Dalang's side by the steward, compared to Chu Dalang who held a wine glass and drank with each other from time to time across the table.Chu Heng seemed a little lonely, sitting alone behind the small table, sipping wine one mouthful at a time.

It seemed that he was a bit overwhelmed with alcohol, but after three or two cups of work, the red glow had already floated on his cheeks, and his eyes were staring at the plum trees in the distance in a daze.

The female guests were all in the backyard, and when the male guests in the front yard drank to the back, some nasty words would come out from time to time.Sitting among them, Chen Silang frowned, his eyes full of disdain, seeing Chu Heng, who was obviously drunk, and remembering Erniang's words, he suddenly proposed loudly: "Drinking wine and enjoying flowers is so elegant, why don't we write poems?"

If this suggestion was made at a gathering of literati and poets, it would be able to get a response, but the Xiaomei Banquet was originally a place where the Chu family and business partners bonded, and businessmen were rarely well-educated, so naturally they didn't like to recite poems to fight against each other.

The voice in the court was low, and the male guests looked at each other, but no one echoed.Chu Dafu frowned, and just wanted to tell Chen Silang to shut up with his eyes.The latter walked up to Chu Heng with a wine glass in his hand.

"I've already heard that Sanlang was once known as a prodigy. Although I don't know what happened during the palace test, Sanlang was kicked out of Yandu. I think it's not a big deal, or I'm afraid that even this life will be lost in the palace. That's it. , presumably with Saburo's talent and learning, and with this plum blossom as the theme, he will be able to compose a poem within seven steps. Saburo will attract others, and my brother-in-law will also write a poem later. How does it compare with you? If my brother-in-law wins, Sanlang might as well tell me how he behaved in front of the palace?"

When Chu Heng was 14 years old, he entered the palace examination, but was reprimanded for his disrespect in front of the palace. Only the Chu family knows best.Others thought it was a small accident, but they didn't know the details.But everyone is gossip, and they are always curious about this matter.

Seeing Chen Silang's actions, the guests present naturally understood that this was deliberately targeting Saburo of the Chu family.

The Chen family was originally a businessman, and no one has ever been an official.It was not easy for Chen Silang to gain fame, so he was naturally praised by the Chen family, and Chu Sanlang's knowledge was obvious to all. Although he didn't know why he failed to be awarded an official several times, it did not hinder the guests' interest in this child.

For a while, the atmosphere in the court became lively.

How could Chu Heng be really drunk?

Before time travel, because of the special nature of his work, he actually controlled drinking to a certain extent.And this body is not massive, so before coming out of the west chamber, Chu Heng made himself a drink-relief sugar pill and ate a few.

At this moment, it is easier to make him drink too much and urinate to find a place to put water than to let him pass out.

Just pretending to be drunk is a technical job, and you have to do it to the end.

"Second brother-in-law..." Chu Heng stood up staggeringly, squinted his eyes, and drank a glass of tea, "Let's not compare poetry..."

Seeing Chu Heng's drunken state, Chen Silang felt displeased, and seeing his handsome appearance like a young lady, he felt even more disgusted.

"If you don't compare it to poetry, what do you compare it to?"

"No comparison, no comparison..." Chu Heng waved his hand, and staggered forward two steps.Chu Dalang on the side was startled, and reached out to help him.

Chu Heng smiled lightly, and the guests in the court suddenly felt that the plum blossoms above their heads were not as beautiful as the Chu family's Saburo smiling.

"Second brother-in-law, let me check your pulse..."

He cupped his hands towards Chen Silang, and before he could avoid him, he stretched out his hand to grab Chen Silang's wrist.It seemed that he was drunk and had no strength, but he actually used strength.

With such a grabbing, slapping, and closing, the guests stopped drinking, and all of them stared round, waiting to see what kind of pulse Chu Heng had.

But Chu Dafu's eyes signaled Chu Dalang to take him down to sober up, arguing and apologizing, but he didn't want Chu Heng to break away from Chu Dalang with the strength of alcohol, and threw a shocking thunder at Chen Silang.

"Brother-in-law, do you feel that you have not had sex recently?"

With a clatter, the wine glasses of many guests fell on the table and the floor.

Chu Dalang was dumbfounded, seeing Chu Dafu's face darkened, he was about to cover Chu Heng's mouth immediately.

Unexpectedly, Chu Heng suddenly sat down on the ground, raised his head and laughed.

"Frequent self-abuse when I was young, or too much sexual intercourse, can easily damage the kidneys, resulting in sexual reluctance and powerlessness. When my brother-in-law relieves his hand on weekdays, is it ticking, dripping endlessly, is he urinating frequently at night, and sexual intercourse is powerless?"

Every time Chu Heng said a word, he saw Chen Silang's expression turned ugly.

No one would like to be told in person, but he is drunk now, who can stop what a drunk said.Regardless of whether Chen Silang was serious or not, Chu Heng had already left his words here, all he wanted was to embarrass him.

Although Chen Silang didn't admit it, but looking at his face, the guests also knew that maybe it was really right not to mention it.Going to see Chu Heng again, the young man was drunk, with a look of "quickly praise me for being great", it didn't look like he did it on purpose.

At this time, Chu Heng waved his arm and continued to throw thunder.

"Second brother-in-law, it's not good to hide your illness and avoid medical treatment, no good! If you don't treat it as soon as possible, it will be bad for your children in the future, even if you go outside, you won't have the glory!"
