Chapter 38
As soon as Shangguan Jie left, the invisible pressure no longer existed. Everyone here felt relaxed. The older people looked at Cheng Mo with respect, and some even gave him a thumbs up. They dared to make Zhang Qiu, the oldest old man in this dynasty, vomit blood and dizzy, and they couldn't accept it.
The younger ones came around with a coaxing sound, surrounding Cheng Mo in the middle, and talking nonsense.
Cheng Mo still looked innocent, looking at everyone with a big lucky look.
Wu Kong squeezed away the crowd and walked in, pulled Cheng Mo and left, came to a tree in the courtyard outside, and whispered: "Okay, stop pretending."
Cheng Mo smiled and said, "My performance just now is okay, right?"
Zhang Qiu will rely on his seniority to behave like a senior, so won’t he act cute and stupid? Who doesn’t have age? Age has the benefits of being older, and a young age has the advantages of being younger.
"Okay, it's great. If you don't go to the house for three days, you will itch your hands, right?" Wu Kong mottled his teeth and told him the tradition of the Zhang family, saying, "What will you do next?"
Cheng Mo's eyes flashed, and Wu Kong's heart was pounding. He turned his face and said, "Don't look at me."
Oh my god, even men can't stand his eyes, even men. Wu Kong finally tried to soothe his little heart, thinking that Cheng Mo was so evil.
"It's okay, they want to go to my small yard and make trouble, just let them go." Cheng Mo said lightly: "As long as they can make trouble."
Wu Kong suddenly turned his face, looked at Cheng Mo seriously, and said, "You have never seen the trouble of the descendants of the Zhang family, they are unreasonable..."
Just as he was about to give an example to explain the behavior of the Zhang family, Cheng Mo smiled and said, "I am alone and my whole family is not hungry. What can they make a fuss? Let them make a fuss. Besides, Zhang Qiu is so old that he should have prepared to report to King Yama at any time. The more they make a fuss, the worse their reputations are. What can they get?"
Who has no purpose in doing things? The descendants of the Zhang family are not benefiting from making trouble, but are criticized for bullying the small ones. Can they still make trouble?
Wu Kong was stunned, and his eyes were brightly watched Cheng Mo. No one in the court was afraid of Zhang Qiu. After all, he was afraid that his descendants would go to the door of the mansion to mourn mourning and howl. They were like a group of broom stars, and they felt bad everywhere. They had to say good things to them with a smile on their faces. That was because everyone was carrying their families and there were a group of slaves. There were a few people in the mansion, and nearly a thousand were there.
But Cheng Mo is different. He has only one person and there is not even a maid at home. What are he afraid of the people of Zhang Qiu’s descendants making noise? Could it be that Zhang Qiu’s descendants can wear mourning in an empty yard?
"Okay, you boy." Wu Kong punched Cheng Mo's chest with a light punch, his voice smiling, and he said, "Don't go home, you'll still rest in my other courtyard."
Cheng Mo didn't buoy with Wu Kong, and said, "Okay."
When Wu Kong saw Duke Anguo standing in the corridor, he looked here and seemed to talk to Cheng Mo intently, and said, "In the past, I met Shi Erlang's father, just call him the uncle."
Cheng Mo was very busy these days. Zhang Qing repeatedly wanted to take him back to his house to meet his father, but he delayed because Cheng Mo had no time. Wu Kong saw Duke An's expression at the banquet. He knew that he admired Cheng Mo quite a bit, so he wanted Cheng Mo to take the opportunity to meet him.
As they walked a few steps, one of them rushed over from the end of the corridor, shouting, "No, Lord Zhang is dead."
However, it was the slave sent by Liu Taofu to inquire about the news. Zhang Qiu was too old. He first got angry, but then felt that he was humiliated and could not get up in one breath. He died on the way back to the house. After all, he took himself too seriously.
Bad news came from Zhang Qiu's old servant, and the Zhang family's entourage started howling on the road. Someone went back to Zhang's mansion to report the news, and believed that it would come to cause trouble soon. The servant was frightened when he thought of the power of the descendants of the Zhang family, so he rolled back and crawled back to report the news. He fell twice along the way, and he didn't care where he broke the skin and didn't have time to pick up his shoes. He came back in a very embarrassing manner.
The words of warmly praising Cheng Mo in the hall stopped and were silent again. Everyone looked at Liu Taofu, who was receiving the toast from the guests.
Liu Taofu was very satisfied with Cheng Mo's performance just now. He thought that after Liu Siying's wedding, he called Cheng Mo to train him and cultivate him vigorously. Isn't it a pity for such talents not to cultivate them well?
The slave ran all the way and shouted, but there was nothing in the mansion that could not be heard clearly. Liu Taofu's face froze for a moment, but he still raised his neck to drink the wine, and then asked someone to call the slave in, scolding him, "What are you calling me?"
The servant's face was covered in sweat and his face was pale, and he said, "Alang, Lord Zhang is dead."
I didn't die before, but the descendants of the Zhang family came to make trouble with mourning clothes. This time I really died, so I wouldn't burn their mansion, right? It's so scary, I have no way to survive now.
Liu Taofu had already panicked. His baby daughter had just married and was blocked by someone to cry. It was so unlucky. But in front of everyone, he could not show any panic. He had a straight face and said, "Mr. Zhang is old, so I am very sad to leave this immortal. But now we are doing our own wedding, and we will talk about Mr. Zhang's affairs later."
He deliberately spoke loudly, and the guests in the hall heard it. Everyone was frightened, and with the idea of leaving as soon as possible, he couldn't help but nod when he heard Liu Taofu's words. No matter how unreasonable the Zhang family was, they could not really stand the Liu family, right? Zhang Qiu and Liu Taofu were several levels apart.
Seeing that the guests who were about to get up were ready to sit down again, Liu Taofu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and had to maintain the wedding banquet anyway. He secretly hated in his heart, if Shangguan Jie had brought Zhang Qiu to cause this, would there be such a mess?
He naturally sent invitations to Huo Guang and Shangguan Jie, but he never thought that these two people would come. Now Huo Guang's power accounts for 60% of the time, Shangguan Jie accounts for 30%, and Emperor Zhao accounts for at most 10%. He is a member of Emperor Zhao. He usually does not violate the rivers with these two people, so he is just polite on the surface. Everyone has different political views and will not sit together.
But I didn’t expect Shangguan Jie to come. He just came to ruin the situation!
"Come on, everyone drink." Liu Taofu added wine and raised his glass again.
Cheng Mo, who walked to the door with Wu Kong, saw this scene, admired Liu Taofu a little, and responded: "That's right, let's drink."
Even if I want to go to the Zhang family to attend the funeral, I have to drink the Liu family’s wedding wine first.
When Liu Taofu saw Cheng Mo, his eyes glowed and laughed loudly: "Wulang, come on, you wish you a cup for me."
This is a chance to show Cheng Mo's face while driving the atmosphere. Although Cheng Mo's performance tonight is already eye-catching, it is different after all with him behind his back.
Cheng Mo responded, and a servant brought the wine, and the class was of high quality. A seat came over. The laughter sounded in the hall again. Most court officials and nobles asked about Cheng Mo's studies as elders, and Cheng Mo also answered respectfully.
Just as everyone gradually forgot about Zhang Qiu's affairs, the butler's face changed drastically, and he rushed into the hall, and said a few words in Liu Taofu's ear.
