Chapter 36
Shangguan Jie ignored Cheng Mo and smiled at Liu Taofu and said, "I congratulations on coming late, please don't blame me." As he said that, he took Liu Taofu's arm and went in together.
Cheng Mo touched his nose and pretended that the scene just now had never happened.
Luo An came out of nowhere and whispered to himself: "Shameless!"
"You only know?" Cheng Mo said. He didn't know that Luo An and his son gave gifts to Shangguan Jie repeatedly and asked for a meeting, otherwise, I wonder how many mean words would be said. Even if he didn't know about their affairs, Cheng Mo would definitely not let Luo An take advantage verbally.
Luo An snorted coldly and said no to turn his face.
When he returned to the seat, Shangguan Jie sat upright and Liu Taofu accompanied him in the main seat. After three rounds of wine, five flavors of dishes, and when the guests and hosts were having fun, an old man with white hair and hair tried to sit up straight, raised his hands high and arched, and said, "In the past, Emperor Gaozu was used to sitting around, but was criticized by court officials, and historians recorded it in history. Emperor Gaozu was so talented and stubborn. Now someone has made an official hat and chair, saying that he feels uncomfortable sitting, and promotes sitting around. Such a person who disregards etiquette has really lost all the face of my Great Wu Dynasty."
The old man Cheng Mo didn't know him, but when he was halfway through, Cheng Mo understood that Shangguan Jie had taken action. Shangguan Jie's status and status would never attack him personally, but instead instructed the horseman to test him. This old man was his pawn.
Wu Kong looked at Cheng Mo in the distance and felt a headache. He had long been worried that someone would talk about it. Sure enough, someone jumped out now and even raised the banner of Emperor Gaozu.
This is a matter of taking over the great power, just like two armies seizing the commanding heights in front of the formation.
Liu Taofu drank a little too much wine, and it was a happy day for his daughter. He never expected Shangguan Jie to attack him at this time. He also thought of two days to plead for Cheng Mo to Shangguan Jie's mansion, but he was just an ignorant boy. He didn't care about villains and just gave him a lesson. He didn't expect Shangguan Jie to come and find fault, so he couldn't help but be a little confused.
Jinghai Hou smiled and felt relieved. He raised his neck and took a sip of wine, smashed his mouth and said, "Good wine."
Luo An sat in the last seat, far away from Cheng Mo, so far that he could only see Cheng Mo in which direction he could not see Cheng Mo. He raised his glass to Cheng Mo, feeling unspeakable. They did not lose anything after giving so many gifts. Yesterday, he only saw Shangguan Jie, without saying a few words and without mentioning the topic, Shangguan Jie brought the guest to see him off. He felt humiliated, but he didn't expect Shangguan to think that he wanted to kill Cheng Mo and he didn't need his father and son to take action.
Before we knew it, the noisy Huatang slowly calmed down, and the needles could be heard. Everyone's eyes stopped on Shangguan Jie and Liu Taofu, to see how these two big men expressed their opinions.
Shangguan Jie put a deer tail into his mouth and chewed it slowly.
Liu Taofu asked Qingshan who was waiting by his side, and finally heard the old man's words clearly.
The old man was named Zhang Qiu. He had been in charge of etiquette for three dynasties. Although Cheng Mo did not know any of his duties, since he jumped out and accused him of being incompatible with etiquette, he must have a good attitude towards etiquette.
Liu Taofu coughed and said, "Mr. Zhang, today is a happy day for the little girl."
If you want to ruin the situation, you have to wait until my family finishes the wedding. How can I do this in the future if I don’t give face?
Zhang Qiu laughed twice and said, "I heard that Lord Liu was sitting upright on the official hat chair today and was treated as a newcomer. I believe he felt more deeply about the official hat chair than me."
Liu Taofu was a little angry, his face looked bad, and he said coldly: "Maybe Lord Zhang have any objections to the little girl getting married?"
When the guests in the hall heard this, most of them were puzzled. Shangguan Jie twitched his mouth. In the quietness, a low laughter came into everyone's ears very clearly.
This low laughter sounded in Zhang Qiu's ears, with a clear sneer.
"Who?" he shouted angrily, thinking that it would be better not to let him find someone out, otherwise he would never end with him. Everyone in the court knew about the civil and military affairs. Zhang Qiu read "The Book of Zhou" well. He argued with others, and every sentence was inseparable from the Book of Zhou. The principle was one set after another. Just by talking, you could kill people.
He is old and old, and looks like he is in a twilight age, but he stands tenaciously. But as long as someone provokes him, he will always feel fake and fall out in an instant. Then, his descendants cried and robbed the world, saying that people forced his ancestors to death, and that they would not be able to give in without giving in.
When someone apologized, he looked strong and strong as he wanted. This person was really not easy to mess with.
So, when Zhang Qiu shouted, most of the people who heard the laughter lowered their heads and pursed their lips, almost writing three words on their faces: "It's not me."
Zhang Qiu thought that Liu Taofu's words had a second meaning, and seemed to imply that he had thoughts about Miss Liu that he shouldn't have. He was eighty years old and had already failed in some aspects. How could he have other thoughts about young women? This was clearly Liu Taofu viciously exposes his shortcomings and bullies him, a gentleman.
He was ordered to make a big fuss about the Liu family's wedding scene. Liu Taofu said it too cleverly, and he was not arguing, nor was he not arguing. Someone just laughed at him. How could Zhang Qiu, a master of debate, let this opportunity be spared?
"Who!" He shouted again, and looked at Shangguan Jie at the same time, indicating to inquire.
Shangguan Jie didn't expect that someone would dare to laugh at this old man who even wanted to be polite. He just pretended to be unrelated, so how could he pay attention to anything else? He immediately said that he didn't pay attention.
Zhang Qiu pointed in the direction of laughter with one hand, stroked his chest with the other, and seemed to faint, and said with a sad voice: "I have lived for more than 80 years in vain. When it comes to the end, I will be ridiculed by you and the younger generation. I...I will not live anymore."
Liu Taofu frowned and said, "Mr. Zhang, today is a happy day for the little girl. How can you be crying here?"
His official position is higher than Zhang Qiuqiu. If he hadn't seen him getting older and pretended to be dizzy and dared not touch him, he would have dragged him out long ago. He would have made a fuss about his only beloved daughter's wedding banquet, would he have lived an impatient life?
Zhang Qiu beat his chest and stamped his feet: "I am not alive anymore." Then he rolled his eyes and was about to faint.
Many people here said to themselves: "This is another set."
I really have seen it a lot and know this old man’s program very well.
"Mr. Zhang, I know who was laughing at you just now." A slightly scattered voice sounded in the silence. Everyone looked at this voice at the same time. While breathing a sigh of relief, they also admired the courage of this person.
A young man in his early twenties stood up under the gaze of everyone. Who is it not Luo An?
Seeing the smile on the corner of his mouth, Wu Kong felt an ominous premonition in his heart. But he had no time to stop him. Luo An's index finger, which had not stood up straight, pointed to a blurry figure in the distance: "I can hear it clearly. It was Cheng Wulang who laughed at you."
What does it mean to kill someone by borrowing a knife? That's it. Luo An is proud.
