Peerless Pirates

Chapter 321 Lotus tongue

Seeing that Lu Hong was about to lose his temper, Song Zheng patted his leg under the table and signaled him not to worry (Cang Yu).

Lu Hong was Song Zheng's number one fan. Seeing Song Zheng's gesture, he felt an inexplicable confidence in his heart. He immediately relaxed and picked up a piece of meat and chewed it hard, as if the piece of meat belonged to Hou Wenxian (

The latest chapter in the history of the Empire of Reincarnation).

Song Zheng smiled and said, "This is Song's first time eating this drunken flower fish, but Brother Hou is tired of it. It's really admirable. I heard that this drunken flower fish costs eight taels of silver to buy. I originally

I thought that only those who do business like Brother Xu can afford it, but I didn’t expect that Brother Hou also has such courage. It seems that Brother Hou is also wealthy! But I don’t know if your Majesty the Comfort Envoy is also as drunk as Brother Hou.

Are you tired of eating fish?"

The subtext of Song Zheng's words is very clear. You, Hou Zhonglian, are tired of eating. Where does the money come from? Either your father is embezzling and accepting bribes, and you are also tired of eating drunken fish. Or you are borrowing money from your father's name, but you often eat it without eating.

Give it to your father. In short, there are only two reasons why you are tired of eating. Either your father is a corrupt official, or you yourself are an unfilial son. These words blocked Hou Zhonglian from both ends.

As soon as Song Zheng finished speaking, Hou Zhonglian immediately blushed. If everyone at the table spread the news that Mr. Hou was tired of eating drunken fish, it would definitely cause an uproar in Licheng, which would be detrimental to Hou Wenxian's official reputation. Especially

Hou Wenxian himself has a reputation of being quite honest.

Wei Tong glared at Hou Zhonglian, had to laugh, and came to the rescue and said, "I think the Hou family and the Wei family are considered to be first-class aristocratic families in Xuancheng. They have countless fertile fields and a few drunken fish, but we can still eat them."

Got up."

Wei Tong's words were arrogant, and he was actually trying to defend Hou Zhonglian. Song Zheng forced the opponent to this point, which shows how embarrassed the opponent was.

However, Song Zheng did not let Hou Zhonglian go easily. This guy actually used flowers to humiliate Lu Qiang. If he didn't suppress him hard, he would lose his brain. So Song Zheng chuckled and ignored him. Wei Tong said,

Then he said, "As for Brother Hou's hobby of picking flowers to clear his mouth, I also didn't expect that Brother Hou actually has this hobby. It's a pity that he doesn't have it now.

It's summer, otherwise, I would be lucky enough to see Brother Hou picking lotus flowers in Daming Lake! I don't know whether Brother Hou likes white lotus, red lotus, blooming lotus or budding lotus? Or what?

Are you not afraid of flowers? You can eat them as long as they are flowers? If that’s the case, I really admire Brother Hou’s taste!”

This sentence is also very vicious. A dignified seventh placer in the Shandong Road Civil Examination was actually alluded to as a sex demon who does not taboo on meat and vegetables (read the full text of "Rebirth I am Jigong")!

Song Zheng's words were playful, causing everyone at the table to burst into laughter. Lu Hong was so happy that he slapped his legs. Yang Dong even stood up and said loudly, "Come, let's have a drink for a good-tempered guy like Brother Hou!"

The word "花" not only had a childish sound to it, but was also said sharply and thinly, even Qiao Shang and Xu Mingxuan grinned.

Hou Zhonglian failed to steal the chicken but lost the rice. He blushed and argued, "Don't talk nonsense. This flower is made of radish! So clear your mouth!"

Lu Hong immediately followed up, "Brother Hou even spared the radish flowers, I admire him!"

Carrot flowers can be considered the most inconspicuous flowers, and they are not comparable to lotus flowers. When Lu Hong said this, Hou Zhonglian slapped himself in the face. Therefore, as soon as Lu Hong's words came out, everyone laughed and laughed.

expenditure.

"You..." Hou Zhonglian was so angry that he could hardly breathe, and he stood straight up. He stared at Song Zheng, his eyes seemed to be on fire. Song Zheng looked indifferent and didn't care at all.

Wei Tong's eyes flashed with cold light, wishing to knock down Song Zheng's arrogance immediately. However, he had learned from past mistakes, and it was not easy for him to find a good excuse to fight back. He also had another concern. As a dignified general judge, if even one

We couldn't control the wine shop where wealthy young men gathered, so if word spread, it would be too shameful. So, although Wei Tong was upset, he didn't leave in a hurry.

In fact, these people can sit together, at least they are not ordinary people in terms of family background. Originally, Song Zheng had the worst family background among this group of people, but as Song Jue became famous in recent years and became a great master of Neo-Confucianism, Song Zheng

Zheng also took advantage of it. Now, no one dares to say that Song Zheng is an ordinary person. Only people like Hou Zhonglian were jealous, spoke arrogantly, and were eventually ridiculed by Song Zheng.

After all, Xin Yu was kinder and said immediately, "Everyone is just joking, I drank the wine happily. Come on, Brother Wei, Brother Hou, everyone, let's have another drink!"

Although the three eldest sons in Licheng are equally famous, they are not monolithic with each other. Xu Mingxuan and Qiao Shang are better off, but Hou Wenxian is more unique (read the full text of King Medicine Buddha). This boy is better because of his literary talent, and he is more sincere.

They looked down on a somewhat rude warrior like Qiao Shang, let alone Xu Mingxuan, who was pretending to be polite. At the moment, watching Hou Zhonglian choke, the two of them were very happy.

After Wei Tong and Hou Zhonglian tried their best, they suffered setbacks one after another and no longer dared to start the war casually. Song Zheng also held the mentality of you don't mess with me and I won't stir up trouble, and talked about some romantic and historical stories. His

knowledge see

In terms of hearing, how can these people compare? When it comes to Wen, he studied hard for ten years under the stick of Song Jue, and also studied the palace collections of the former Song Dynasty in Dajin; when it comes to martial arts, he is even known as the first among his peers.

Yang Dong was defeated by him.

As the wine party progressed, the entire wine table became Song Zheng's personal speech. This man was very eloquent and told stories with great emotion and emotion, which was very attractive. Even Xu Mingxuan and Qiao Shang felt that they were friends with Song Zheng.

It's really good. As for Lu Qiang, although the two of them were a little confused, seeing how great Song Zheng was, they gave up their thoughts of fighting for it again.

Wei Tong went deeper into the city, suppressed his thoughts, and became very cautious with his words. However, he was not willing to let Song Zheng steal the spotlight. During Song Zheng's "speech", he interrupted several times to try to lead the topic.

Come to Confucianism

, trying to debate with Song Zheng in an upright manner. However, few people here were interested in a purely academic debate. Song Zheng cleverly changed the subject and gently led him away without facing the attack, which made Wei Tong so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

For example, when Wei Tong just mentioned Confucius's "six arts", Song Zheng pulled out that among "ritual, music, shooting, imperialism, calligraphy, and mathematics", archery refers to archery, and imperial refers to driving. Confucius was proficient in the six arts, archery and

The driving skills are very poor

Wrong. All of a sudden, Confucius was transformed into a man of both civil and military skills. He even pulled out the phrase "Confucius killed Shaozhengmao", proving that Confucius was a decisive general! This immediately brought Confucius and military martial arts closer.

distance.

Most of the people were good at martial arts, and even Xu Mingxuan could make gestures. However, Wei Tong and Hou Zhonglian were pure scholars. Song Zheng talked about Confucius from the perspective of martial arts, which was refreshing for Xin Yu, Yang Dong and others, who were willing to listen to Wei Tong.

What philosophy are you talking about?

Wei Tong ran into trouble twice more, and finally became honest, knowing that if he wanted to defeat Song Zheng in terms of literary talent, at least tonight would be a wishful thinking.

As early as last night, Hou Zhonglian came out of the Lu Mansion and found his cousin Wei Tong. He wanted to use Wei Tong's literary talent to frustrate Song Zheng's edge. However, this afternoon, Qiao Shang made an appointment with Xu Mingxuan and

During the reign of Hou Zhonglian, he gave Song Zheng's poems to the two

When everyone saw it, both of them were amazed. Hou Zhonglian even suspected that Song Zheng had plagiarized someone else's work, so he immediately invited Wei Tong. After Wei Tong saw it, he shook his head repeatedly and said, "Such a poem, if it had been written by someone else, would have been famous all over the world."

Yes. It seems that it was indeed done by Song Xiaolang."

Qiao Shang saw with his own eyes that Song Zheng composed a song "Shui Diao Ge Tou·Farewell to General Xin" at Xin Qiji's house, and immediately told the situation.

Wei Tong was silent for a long time and then said, "This man's literary talent is a gift from heaven, I am not as good as him!"

When Hou Zhonglian saw what his cousin said, he was instantly downcast and muttered, "Cousin, are you going to let Song Xiaolang continue to be so arrogant?"

Wei Tong waved his hand and said with a smile, "A person's ability is not limited to how good his kung fu is, or how good his poetry is. Cao Zijian (Cao Zhi) was very talented, but he died of depression at the age of forty; King Chu Ba

His martial prowess shocked the past and the present, but he committed suicide by lying down. In the same way, no matter how talented Song Xiaolang is, his true ability still needs to be investigated."

Wei Tong's words are also correct. A person's ability has little to do with his literary level. Liu Bang was a scoundrel, but he was still an emperor. Li Bai and Du Fu were unrivaled in poetry in ancient times, but both of them were depressed.

Unable to achieve ambition.

Wei Tong himself was deeply affected. From a talented man to a capable official, he knew the difference most clearly. Therefore, after reading Song Zheng's poems, although he thought they were great, he did not regard Song Zheng as a good official.

How high.

Wei Tong came to the restaurant not only to cheer up Hou Zhonglian, but also because there was a "family feud" between him and Song Zheng: due to academic issues, Wei Buzhou was dismissed by Huang Yuandu as the chief professor of Jiangning Academy of Literature, while Song Jue

However, he was promoted to deputy chief instructor. Of course, Wei Tong, a small general judge, could not control the affairs of the Prime Minister and Jiangning Academy of Literature, but if he could suppress Song Zheng, he could always give himself some relief.

However, the current situation in the wine shop made Wei Tong feel powerless. Song Zheng didn't talk about Neo-Confucianism at all. Even if he talked about Confucius and Mencius, he was turned into telling stories, and such stories were very popular! Wei Tong also felt that

I wonder, I heard that Song Jue was very strict in his studies and was dull, so why his son was so flexible and versatile, and he came up with strange tricks one after another. He was really an anomaly (Latest Chapter of Long Xiao Xuan Huang).

Song Zheng continued to drink, and Song Zheng did not criticize Wei and Hou two too much. He also chatted with them a few words and even said a few compliments. Anyway, the good words cost nothing. After all, Hou Wenxian was the comfort envoy in name only.

Master, besides, it is easier to make enemies than to make enemies. There is no need to act like enemies of life and death.

According to Song Zheng's idea, if a dog bites a man, can a man bite a dog? At most, he can hit it hard with a few sticks to make the dog behave and learn the lesson.

Everyone was talking and drinking, and the atmosphere was intense. Yang Dong, Lu Hong, and Xu Mingxuan were all very excited, and they drank with Song Zheng one after another. Qiao Shang and Xin Yu had drank with Song Zheng in Mizhou, and they knew how much Song Zheng drank.

Amazing, they also joined in. Of course, they also respected each other and sang so happily!

Hou Zhonglian and Wei Tong didn't get any benefits all night, so they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to drink and drink Song Zheng. However, they themselves were not good drinkers. After Song Zheng and the two unlucky insects had done half a cup each, Wei Tong collapsed.

On the chair, Hou Zhonglian slipped under the table.

Song Zheng single-handedly challenged Wei Tong and Hou Zhonglian, two cousins, and ended with a complete victory.

At the end of the drinking, only Song Zheng and the young and mature Xin Yu were sober, Qiao Shang was half drunk, and everyone else fell on the wine table. The servants waiting outside came up and carried their masters away.

Song Zheng was about to pay for the drink, but he learned that Xu Mingxuan had already paid the bill when he went to the toilet in the middle of drinking. Song Zheng felt that it was necessary to make friends with Xu Mingxuan, so he didn't say anything more and just let Zuihualou arrange it.

A carriage pulled him and the drunk Lu Hong towards the garrison.

Today, the official matters are finally finished. Song Zheng plans to go to Lu Dafu's place tomorrow, where he has invested 2,000 taels of silver. Erhei and Huzi once told him that the current Huitong Trading House is particularly prosperous.

, even Xu Mingxuan, who was in charge of official sales, also took a batch of goods there.

Thinking about his dividends, Song Zheng smiled coquettishly. Hey, even if you don't count King Lu's secret treasure, I am now a rich man!
