To this day, Chai Jin, who has long been famous in the world, has seen countless types of people, ranging from high-ranking officials to exiled criminals. They are as diverse as the crucian carp crossing the river. Therefore, Chai Jin has always been arrogant and thinks that he has the ability to recognize people. Already perfected.
In Chai Jin's opinion, what makes Zou Run special is not reflected in his wealth of clothing, but in his unique temperament.
The special feature of Zou Run's temperament is best interpreted by his eyes. Whoever Zou Run looks at is equal, gentle and firm. Call him gentle, but there is an obvious fortitude in him. He is said to be a gentleman, but Zou Run's gestures and actions are somewhat unquestionable. He is so impressive that Chai Jin is amazed and shocked. All these strange phenomena are reflected in Zou Run, but there is no conflict at all. He behaves like that Natural and harmonious.
Facing this figure, even Chai Jin did not dare to be rude, but hurriedly saluted:
"When a distinguished guest comes to the door, the plum blossoms are shining brightly. Chai Jin is not welcomed from afar. He dares not to mention the honorable guest's name? I don't know which old friend named Lin recommended him here?"
Chai Jin was looking at Zou Run, and Zou Run naturally took the opportunity to look at Chai Jin.
This little whirlwind who is famous all over the world is indeed worthy of his reputation. He has an incredible appearance, with dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, white teeth and red lips, coupled with a three-toothed mustache that is both polite and elegant. No matter who looks at it, he will raise his thumbs up and say A handsome man. He is also dressed like a nobleman in front of others, with a soap gauze scarf on his head, a purple embroidered cloud pattern robe, and an exquisite jade belt around his waist. He is indeed a serious descendant of the royal family. It seems that there is a vague glimpse of the personality in this person. The style of Sejong Chai Wing.
Seeing Chai Jin asking about business, Zou Run straightened his clothes, calmed down his face, crossed his hands and replied:
"Xiao Ke Dengzhou Zou Run, met Chai Daguan, came here in a hurry, pretended to use Lin Chong's brother's name, and hoped that the senior official would forgive me."
Chai Jin is thirty-five years old and is nearly ten years older than Zou Run. Zou Run's cross-hand salute was very appropriate.
"Dengzhou Zou Run? Could it be that the person who is called the Little King of Qin by people in the world is your master?"
"The name is insulting to my ears. I'm just a humble person."
After receiving Zou Run's personal admission, Chai Jin was finally moved. He no longer acted like a high-ranking official, but walked directly from the main seat to Zou Run's side, stretched out his hands to hold Zou Run's arms, his eyes flashed, and he relaxed his eyebrows. , looked up and down, left and right again, and said with emotion:
"A heroic young man! A heroic young man! Only someone like you can do so many great things and gain such a great reputation in the world. To be honest, Chai Jin has long wanted to make friends, but unfortunately the mountains are high and the roads are far away and he is burdened with complicated things. I have thought about setting off several times but to no avail. Fortunately, the wind blows me here today, which greatly comforts my longing for life. How lucky, how lucky!"
Putting aside the polite words in his words, Chai Jin's shock can be seen in the first two sentences alone. Young heroes refer to Zou Run as young, and heroic young people refer to Zou Run as promising. Having started such a career at the age of twenty, even Ruchai Jin did not dare to look down upon him. The two of them met again.
The first meeting between the leader of the young generation and the typical representative of the middle-aged generation was full of harmony and beauty. Today's comments will become a good story in the world.
It's a pity that Wu Song in the hall has already been saluting for a long time, and even now he is still bowing his head, even his body is stiff, but Chai Jin never glanced here from beginning to end, he just pulled Zou Run and kept talking.
In the end, Zou Run couldn't stand it and took the initiative to introduce Wu Song beside him.
"Official man, this is Qinghe Wusong. Whenever there is injustice on the road, he is willing to draw his sword to help. He is the most righteous and courageous. He is also extremely powerful. His martial arts skills are rare in the world. However, he got into a lawsuit just because of disagreement. , I came here specifically to seek refuge with the high official, so we got to know each other on the road. I am even more fortunate to meet the high official with his respectable face, and I hope that the high official will look at you."
After saying that, Zou Run turned away and pretended to remind Wu Song: "Erlang, why are you still standing there in a daze? Quickly pay homage to the high official."
Wu Song was already so embarrassed that he had been ignored and looked down upon twice since he arrived at Chai Jin's village. First, some of the villagers laughed at him, but this time Chai Jin turned a blind eye. Fortunately, Zou Run warned him beforehand when he entered the village. At this moment, Wu Song was able to suppress the throbbing in his heart, bit his lip, and bowed again.
But Chai Jin only had Zou Run in his eyes at the moment, and he couldn't care less about a young boy who had just committed a crime in the countryside and came here to seek refuge. For the sake of Zou Run's introduction, he responded with a perfunctory salute, and then He quickly called the servant to come forward.
"Quick, quick, quick! Today there are distinguished guests here. This is not the place to talk. Please open the attic deep in the back hall. Brother Zou Runxian and I will go to the attic to have a drink in front of the wind and talk about our friendship together."
"Oh, by the way, and also, lead this man to the supervisor and ask the supervisor to arrange a place to stay. Don't be short of food and wine."
After Chai Jin finished speaking, he ignored everything else, took Zou Run's arm and dragged him to the back hall. Zou Run wanted to remind Chai Jin several times that Wu Song was not an ordinary person, and wanted to invite him to the table, but how could he resist Chai Jin's warm hospitality, and several supervisors around Chai Jin also gathered around to invite him, so he could only smile bitterly. He glanced at Wu Song and was helplessly crowded into the back hall.
Seeing that the owner of the village was being invited away, a group of his followers immediately followed him. As soon as they entered the back hall, Wu Song was the only one left in the huge living room.
The feeling of emptiness and coldness and the loneliness of being ignored immediately surrounded him. The young Wu Song, who had already experienced the warmth and coldness of the world for the first time, couldn't help but be filled with emotion.
"Before arriving at the Chai family manor, all I heard was that the great official Chai Mengchang was the current generation. He was such a courteous and virtuous corporal, and such a keen eye for recognizing people. But when I saw him today... Alas! On the contrary, Brother Zou Run's rumors are true. He really is. A person lives up to his name..."
"That's all. Now I'm on the run and seeking shelter. Since the officials have taken me in, they are kind, so there shouldn't be any more arguments. If you act out of will because of a momentary slight, you will fall behind. When the time comes, I'm afraid that it will embarrass brother Zou Run, so I can rest."
After all, Wu Song is not a narrow-minded secular person. He has a real innocent heart, but he has been living next to his brother before and has never experienced the suffering of the world.
Now that he is far away from his hometown and meets Zou Run with words to encourage him, Wu Song has begun to adapt and adjust on his own. After laughing at himself for a moment, he quickly regained his good attitude, shook his head, picked up his luggage and walked out of the hall, and went to find the supervisor in charge to stay.
In the Song Dynasty, wealthy families had many rules for receiving guests, and the Chai family was no exception.
They said they were going to have a drink, but they didn't sit down directly. Instead, a waiter led Zou Run to a guest room and asked him if he wanted to take a shower and change clothes. After getting the answer, he was given hot water, face towels and clean clothes, inside and out. They all changed for Zou Run, and then they led him up to the attic.
Chai Jin has been waiting for a long time. The food and wine are all on the table, and the water and land are ready. The food is delicious and delicious. There were even young and pretty maids waiting around, which made Zou Run secretly click his tongue. He has traveled through time for a long time, and this is really the first time he has experienced such a battle. The corrupt and extravagant life of the feudal landlord class is indeed well-deserved.
Of course, this scene just looked novel, but it did not cause Zou Run to have much emotional fluctuations.
If we really take it seriously, this scene may not be as spectacular as the earthmoving boss who waved his hand at the Heaven and Earth Club to shut up Mama-san after receiving the project funds, and then directly asked all the ladies in the row to stay.
With this idea in mind, Zou Run was just stunned for a moment, and then he immediately sat down calmly, not looking away, and not affected by the beauty at all.
Seeing this, Chai Jin's evaluation of Zou Run immediately rose to a higher level.
