Chapter 512
But I didn't expect that before she passed, Lin came.
Gu Jiu took a look at the gift list, confirmed that there was no problem, and then returned it to Bai Shu. He smiled at Lin and said, "I'm sorry for my mother to come here early in the morning, but since you are out, let's go for a walk. At noon, I asked someone to book a banquet at Wude Tower. Let's go there to have a meal. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Lin's first reaction was to refuse, but he couldn't resist Gu Jiu's begging and could only ask helplessly: "Are you sure you can go out for a walk now?"
After receiving Gu Jiu's promise, Lin nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I heard Qiaorui say that Liuhezhai has released a new snack. Since we are idle, let's go and try it?"
Gu Jiu naturally had no objection. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed the location and asked Bai Zhu and the others to send the gift to Meiyuan first, while the two of them went out in a carriage.
It is now the eighth day of the eighth month. As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, not only shops, but also vendors on both sides are shouting with great effort. The streets are crowded and lively.
The carriage had just walked to Zhuque Street. Seeing that the carriage in front was not smooth, the two of them abandoned the carriage and walked slowly along the roadside.
In autumn, the weather is clear and the autumn is clear and the air is clear and the streets are very lively, which quickly aroused Gu Jiu's playfulness.
Lin's health has been much better recently, so he also let her walk on the street. When the two of them walked across the street, their hands were already full of spoils.
Gu Jiu was satisfied after walking around. Seeing that it was not too early, he went to Wude Tower with Lin and laughed.
Before, she asked Bai Zhu and the others to inform him in advance, so she went to the private room and saw Zhuang Ziqi bringing Zhao Yan.
"Please pay tribute to the master, good lord."
Gu Jiu stood up first, saluted with a smile, and invited everyone into the seat.
Lin An obediently greeted Gu Jiu. Gu Jiu nodded in response with a smile. After everyone he brought to the seat, he asked the waiter to hand over the menu and said with a smile: "Master, what do you want to eat?"
Zhao Yan smiled and thanked him, but did not answer, and said, "The old man can eat anything, please watch it."
Even now, when he faces Gu Jiu, he still feels that their identities are different.
Seeing this, Gu Jiu knew it very well, so he handed the menu to Zhuangziqi. After he and Lin ordered the dishes, he had just made up a few more.
The Wude Building is as lively as ever. It is time for dinner and the noise is constantly coming downstairs. From time to time, you can hear the waiter singing loudly.
The aroma of food and wine floated in. Zhuangziqi smelled it and attracted greed. Seeing that the waiter was about to leave, he thought about it and said, "Add another pot of good wine."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, Gu Jiu and Lin An immediately had squinting eyes.
"Need not."
The two of them said in unison, and Lin An laughed first and said, "Master, what are you going to drink?"
I don’t know if it’s because of these days in the academy. Although Lin An didn’t look much older, his every move became more and more calm.
Although he was smiling now, the displeasure in his eyebrows and eyes instantly made Zhuang Ziqi a little cowardly.
He coughed and explained, "Isn't this your master here? Master has to accompany him to drink a few sips."
Upon hearing this, Lin An sighed and said, "You said the same the day before yesterday. The body is the most important. Besides, the master is old and you always drag him to drink. Is this a good thing?"
As soon as he said this, Zhao Yan on the side immediately smiled and nodded, "I think Lin An is right. You are so old, why do you always drink and do if you have nothing to do? Let's drink tea, drink tea."
The two days of getting along have made Zhao Yan feel so sad to Lin An. He likes the sensible young man the most, and Lin An is very satisfied with every part.
With Zhao Yan's help, Zhuang Ziqi was not giving up and looked at Gu Jiu again.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Master, I think Lin An is right."
If Gu Jiu would help him on weekdays, but Zhuang Ziqi chose to forget to put licorice in his medicine. It would be strange if she helped him now!
Seeing that he was besieged by a crowd, Zhuang Ziqi could only sigh and said, "Forget it, let's have tea."
He didn't have to drink, but he just became a habit. However, now he was being controlled by them, and he didn't feel angry, but instead he felt a little happy.
Wudelou is an old restaurant and has always had a large number of diners in Beijing, so the taste of the food is naturally good.
The downstairs was singing operas as usual, and it seemed to be singing Kunqu opera. The sound was so melodious that people's hearts softened.
When the waiter was serving the dishes, he saw that they were attentive and immediately introduced with a smile: "Today, this opera troupe was specially sent to Beijing to celebrate the emperor's birthday. Our Wude Building cost a lot of money. Some of them are here today."
After he said this, Gu Jiu remembered that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival was connected to the emperor's birthday.
Thinking of this, Gu Jiu nodded with a smile and asked Bai Shu to give the opera troupe and waiter a reward of silver. The waiter immediately went with great gratitude.
Before leaving, he closed the door of the private room with great awareness.
There was a bamboo curtain hanging on one side of this private room. The few of them sat on a round table. From this position, they could see the stage downstairs in a real way.
The one I sang today is a story about a story about a daughter who lost her hairpin and was picked up by a scholar. Then the two fell in love at first sight and were happy.
But if the story ends here, it will be a great reunion. But the script of Piansheng changed again and turned around.
The scholar and the lady made a lifelong decision, but after high school, they turned to the powerful family and abandoned the woman.
In the end, the woman used the sedentary jade hairpin to break her life.
This play is a tragedy. Gu Jiu had watched it earlier. When he heard it, he felt that the woman was sad, but she was not worth it for her.
Not to mention that these two people are a matchless relationship, just saying that the scholar deliberately approached her and had crossed the boundaries between them, he knew that this person was not a good thing.
At the end of the drama, the scholar was exonerated: "Yesterday, the beautiful flowers were so beautiful that the country was in full swing, but now the decayed flowers were so beautiful that she clearly lost her color. Why do I blame me for finding him elsewhere?"
Gu Jiu was originally eating vegetables, but when he heard the play, he frowned slightly, but because this was a play, he didn't say anything.
On the contrary, Zhuang Ziqi directly slapped the chopsticks in his hand and said, "What are you singing about?"
Are you talking about human words?
Lin An, who was standing beside him, also frowned and said, "It is said that the world is so popular that people are not as good as ever. Now even the opera lyrics are starting to bring bad people."
As soon as these words were said, Gu Jiu's displeasure was a little less. He glanced at him and smiled: "Lin An, how old are you, and you know these?"
This child is less than thirteen, and he can even say this.
Seeing her like this, Lin An said seriously: "Enerprises and virtues are not distinguished from their age, but also their brains. Although I am young, I know the right and wrong. This play is not right. It was originally the scholar who left the lead in chaos, but now it is exaggerating the scholar. It can be seen that the person who wrote this play is not good, otherwise how could he say this?"
Seeing that he was talking very well, Lin laughed and said, "We Lin An said very well, so you must be a dignified man in the future and not do those slutty things."
Upon hearing this, Lin An nodded solemnly and said, "Lin An understands that the master of the college taught us the same way."
When he said this, he didn't know what he thought of, and then frowned and said, "This world is too unfair to women. It's not just about the plays, but even people like the dean of our college have been criticized."
Hearing what he said, Gu Jiu asked in surprise: "Your Dean, why, is she a woman?"
Lin An nodded immediately and said, "That is, the dean of our Huaiyuan Academy will be changed every three years. Now the dean is a woman. Although she is a daughter, her knowledge is far above men."
But Gu Jiu had never heard of such a thing before. He became interested in hearing this and asked with a smile: "What is your dean's name?"
When she asked this, Zhuang Ziqi, who was standing beside her, coughed lightly and said, "Lin An, no matter what others are right or wrong behind her."
As soon as these words were said, Lin An nodded obediently and retorted again: "Master, I'm not organizing right and wrong. Our dean is really good."
