Chen Fan was much more confident today than he was last time in Meiyuan. After all, he had cultivated true energy and his physical fitness had been greatly improved. He raised his glass and drank it down with everyone.
A hot feeling flowed in his chest and abdomen, "It would be great if I knew the Six Meridians Divine Sword." Chen Fan thought of the "Dragon Movie" he had watched before, where the male protagonist could force the alcohol out of his body and drink again. He drinks a lot, but he is also a fine person. I felt a little envious and moved in my heart.
At this time, the waiter beside him poured wine for everyone. Looking at the slightly rippling water in the wine glass and smelling the strong aroma of wine, Chen Fan's heart moved. He pretended to be nonchalant and put his left hand on On the wine glass, relax your mind, lightly sense the space in the wine glass, use the Qi Collection method, and inhale into the wine glass. The gas inside enters from the Laogong point on the palm of your hand and travels downward to the Dantian. In an instant, the gas in the wine glass is sucked in. But Chen Fan stopped collecting Qi, picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the food, then picked up his wine glass and said, "Master, I respect you. I wish you a world full of peaches and plums, and a crown filled with crowns."
"Okay, Fa Sheng is really talented. This crown is full of capital and peach blossoms are all over the world. If you are right, Master will lend you a blessing. Go ahead."
"The crown covers the capital" comes from a poem written by Du Fu in the Tang Dynasty. Today, Lu Cheng accepts Chen Fan as his disciple. Chen Fan uses "the world is full of peaches and plums, the crown covers the capital" to mean that the teacher has trained many students, and they can be found everywhere. The clothes and carriages of those who succeed are covered with cloth. The whole capital was filled with people. To describe the teacher, he had many disciples and was so famous that he was a great Confucian of his generation.
Chen Fan drank the cup again and felt the sweetness in his throat. He felt a refreshing feeling walking in his stomach. The burning sensation of the first cup was completely gone. He was overjoyed and at the same time he pushed the gas from his lower Dantian into his middle Dantian. After running and walking for a circle, it was expelled from the body, but unfortunately no spiritual power was obtained. However, in this way, the impact of alcohol on Chen Fan was almost negligible.
"Northern Zhenwu Xuan Jing" only needs to enter the state of guarding to sense the gas in the early stage. In the later stage, you can sense the gas by relying on your spiritual sense, and there is no need to enter the trance state. Therefore, when drinking, collecting and practicing qi are not affected by it. Influence.
Just after finishing the drink, the waiter came over to refill the drink. Chen Fan decided to ask about the extra seats in the corridor for listening to books. It was time for the store to give him an answer. At this moment, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked in from outside the door, with a smile on his face, and said as he walked: "Dean Lu, Mr. Liang, and the gentlemen, welcome to the place. If there is a place where the hospitality is not good, please forgive me." Please pay attention!"
"Oh, Shopkeeper Shen is so polite. Today I have accepted a new disciple, Chen Fasheng. Come, Fasheng, let's get to know this Shopkeeper Shen."
"I've met Shopkeeper Shen." Chen Fan stood up and nodded slightly in greeting.
"Chen Fasheng, what a handsome young man, with a full heaven and a round earth. He looks like a wealthy man. It seems that Dean Lu has accepted a good disciple."
"Haha, you are right this time. Although Fa Sheng is young, his chess skills have almost reached the fourth level now. In addition, the two poems "Drinking" and "Encouraging Drinking and Quitting Drinking" were written by him. Fa Sheng is a great talent, you But if you want to get to know each other more, if you ask Fa Sheng to write a poem for your restaurant someday, your restaurant might become famous all over the world."
"Oh, I advise you to drink another bowl of wine. If you have wine now, you will get drunk today. It turns out that it was made by the young master. I am rude." The shopkeeper Shen bowed to Chen Fan.
"I don't dare to accept it. Shopkeeper Shen is too polite." Chen Fan returned the salute. Although he was polite, he was cursing in his heart. Why did Shopkeeper Shen always call everyone he met when he met him? This title of "gongzi" refers to a noble, but he can't live up to it. to this standard.
After Shopkeeper Shen bowed to Chen Fan, he turned to Dean Lu, lowered his head, and probably thought about it for a while, bowed to Dean Lu and said, "Dean Lu, I'm really sorry, Chang Jing is so sorry today." There were many listeners who came to read the book. Dean Wei, who is in the same college as you, Dean Lu, also came to the store with his disciples. There were more than thirty people here this time. They also wanted to listen to the book in the corridor for a while. As you know, those disciples from the Economics Department like to talk and watch the excitement. This requires everyone to listen to books in the corridor, which the small shop cannot arrange. I would like to discuss with you to see if you can just do this. Send three people to listen in the corridor? The rest are in the private room. The small shop specializes in providing free Tongbai tea. It is also a pleasure to drink tea and play chess at the same time." In fact, shopkeeper Shen originally only made this arrangement for Dean Lu There are two seats. I think Dean Lu and Liang Xiu must have seats. I just met Chen Fan, so I temporarily changed the two seats to three.
"What do Fa Sheng think?" Lu Yan frowned and did not immediately answer the shopkeeper's question, but looked at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan didn't want to get into an argument with anyone over this matter, but he couldn't agree immediately because he didn't have to sit down, but there was still one less seat. Who wouldn't want to go? He immediately looked at Lu Ban, then turned to Shopkeeper Shen and said, "Businesskeeper Shen, I won't be attending the book listening. I wonder if you can add another seat for us? Even if we squeeze in a little bit, that's fine."
"This?" Shopkeeper Shen looked confused, but did not refuse immediately. He said, "I'll try it. If it doesn't work, I hope you won't be offended."
"Okay, thank you, shopkeeper." Chen Fan nodded slightly to the shopkeeper.
Shopkeeper Shen smiled awkwardly and went out.
"Fasheng, you can accompany Dean Lu to listen later. I won't go. I get dizzy when I drink. Even if I go to listen, I will probably fall asleep." Shi Zhongkai said next to him.
His words caused Liang Xiu and Lu Zifeng to laugh. Chen Fan thought that it was Shi Zhongkai who was the first one to fall asleep on the table last time in Meiyuan, and he also found it funny.
"Then we have to ask Zhongkai to get down quickly, and let's respect the dean together." Liang Xiu said from the side.
Chen Fan also picked up the wine glass, and the old trick was repeated, and everyone drank up the wine in the glass.
"Fasheng, let's go to Dean Wei's place later and toast to the economics students so that they can get to know you." Dean Lu felt proud. Although Shi Zhongkai and Lu Zifeng next to him were also his students, these two people Chess is okay, but the theories, policies, and poems of Confucian classics are just average. This Fa student is different. If you compare yourself to those people in Confucian classics, you will lose face. Let’s see what happens to that guy named Wei. Do you still brag in front of yourself that people in economics are better than people in chess academy? If there is a brilliant disciple, as a teacher, his face will often be bright.
"Okay, let's drink leisurely now, in case we haven't gone yet, we will have already passed out, but we don't want to go anymore." Shi Zhongkai took the opportunity to say.
"That's right. Let's drink slowly and eat the food first." Dean Lu followed suit.
Everyone slowed down their drinking pace, and Chen Fan happened to slowly taste the delicious food. Cuixiang Pavilion's food suited Chen Fan's taste. It was sweet but not greasy, and had a similar flavor to the Weiyang food Chen Fan ate in modern times.
Just as everyone was eating the food with great interest, there was a noise outside the door. A waiter came in from the door and said: "Dear guests, Chang Jing is here." After saying that, he bowed and walked out again, probably to inform. A private room.
Everyone looked at each other and didn't stand up in a hurry. It was estimated that people had just arrived and would have to rest for a while before they could tell stories. However, as the initiator of the dinner, Chen Fan still had to keep the atmosphere lively. Seeing that Liang Xiu didn't say anything, he said: "Chang Jing He's here, and he's probably going to start telling stories soon, but now that he's here, won't those businesswomen lose a lot of business?" When Chen Fan came in, he heard a woman singing, which was a good topic to talk about and liven up the atmosphere.
"It's much less than usual, but there are some people who don't listen. By the way, why didn't I see Yajun with you today?" I guess Chen Fan's words made Lu Fan think of Yajun's song, or he thought about it before. I asked. At this time, Chen Fan was talking about Shang Nu, so I just asked.
"Brother Liang and I also talked about Yajun before. Ever since we parted ways in Meiyuan, he and I have not seen each other again. Even Yuying, who was with him before, doesn't know where he has gone. Everyone feels it is a pity and has no idea. Can I hear his singing again?" Chen Fan said with regret in his tone.
"Yes, that's a pity. Don't you know where his home is?"
"He and I met on the way to Suzhou. At that time, he and Yuying borrowed our boat, and my eldest brother borrowed it. Unexpectedly, I met you, Master, on the first day we met. What happened next, Master, you are all worried about. knew."
"Oh, Yajun's singing is still very good. If we can meet again, we will be blessed."
"Yes, my eldest brother has left my address in Gusu with Yuying. I have made an appointment to call you Master if we meet again if Yajun comes back."
"Okay, then it's settled. Fasheng, have you settled down in Gusu?"
"Yes, I live in Luoyi Lane by the Gusu River. The second Chen's House to the south is. Master, if anything happens, you can send someone to inform the disciples."
"Okay, I'll note it down for my teacher."
"It seems that Shopkeeper Shen has gone into hiding. Why don't we go sit outside first and come back later to eat and have an intermission?" Chen Fan saw that Shopkeeper Shen hadn't come yet, but Chang Jing had already arrived, so everyone was probably a little a little a little bit nervous. I wanted to go out and listen to a book, so I suggested.
"Okay, let the waiter lead the way." Lu Yan stood up and greeted the waiter who was serving in the room.
"Yes, gentlemen, please."
Everyone walked to the corridor. There were already many people sitting here, and there were still people standing. The stools were short stools, which did not occupy a large area. However, there were many people, and some people were already sitting on them. It turned out that Shopkeeper Shen was not hiding. Instead, they were standing still in the corridor. When they saw Dean Lu and the others, they bowed and said, "Please come this way. I'm really sorry. We can't arrange it."
"It's okay. We won't make things difficult for you, Shopkeeper Shen. Just take as many seats as you want." Lu Yan spoke.
"Okay, thank you, thank you very much." Shopkeeper Shen's face obviously relaxed a lot after listening to Lu Yan's words. "Please come over here. This is close to the stands on the first floor. We have arranged three seats for you. I'm really sorry. I'll ask the waiter to bring you tea to the private room later."
"Okay, thank you, shopkeeper." Lu Xian greeted politely.
"Master, you guys sit down. Brother Shi and I will just stand there. It would be a good idea for us to go back to the room and drink tea later." After Chen Fan finished speaking, he looked at Shi Zhongkai apologetically.
Shi Zhongkai nodded and said it was okay.
"Okay, then you're welcome." Lu Yan waved his hand, interrupting Liang Xiu who was about to speak, and signaled that that would be it. The three of them sat down and looked at the stage on the first floor. There was no one on the stage yet. It seemed that Chang Jing hadn't come on stage yet. Chen Fan glanced around the downstairs and saw Hou Feng eating in the lobby on the first floor. His position was close to the entrance of the lobby, facing the corridor here. Chen Fan had no intention of saying hello and disturbing Hou Feng's meal.
