Chapter 186: Come for you
This shout was very abrupt.
Unable to tell the difference between men and women for a while, Zhou Ze stopped walking on the boat and looked over.
I saw a 15 or 16-year-old boy standing by the fence on the second floor, waving his hand to Zhou Ze.
The young man had very handsome facial features, which was the kind of exquisiteness comparable to a woman. He was wearing a lake blue robe and wide sleeves and white lining.
He called out his pen name and could still know whereabouts. Obviously, he had seen all the couplets in front of the Hejiang Chamber of Commerce.
After only one look, Zhou Ze already knew who this person was, and he must be Chen Jiulang.
Liu Xiangzhong left, but in just a cup of tea, he went to invite Miss Yunhe, arranged a cruise ship, and wrote a pair in person. They immediately responded to this action, one was that they had great strength, and the other made Zhou Ze even more sure that the other party wanted to get to know him.
But in a moment, Zhou Ze thought of many possibilities in his mind. Now that he has appeared on his own initiative, if he doesn't say hello, he will seem to have fallen into trouble. Zhou Ze nodded slightly.
"Mr. Chen Jiulang and Mr. Chen are so elegant and happy. It seems that they are also attracted by the scenery of Changhu."
Hearing Zhou Ze's name, Old Xu subconsciously stood beside Zhou Ze. Xiaobai Azheng was wearing a veil and looked up one after another. Liu Xiangzhong was stunned, looking at Zhou Ze, Chen Jiulang, and stood there in a daze.
I have to see you all the time, post a pair and appear immediately.
Liu Xiangzhong wanted to swear at this moment. What's the point?
Chen Jiulang on the second floor of the Huafang smiled. He looked good. His smile seemed to have a feeling of spring and flowers blooming. Zhou Ze staggered his eyes.
"Mr. Chen has been waiting for a long time. He knows that Mr. Tang has come to Jingzhou and has prepared a pleasure boat early and is waiting for your couple. But he didn't expect that it was hanging in front of your Hejiang Chamber of Commerce. I wonder if Mr. Chen is lucky to invite Mr. Tang to visit the lake together?"
Zhou Ze glanced at Liu Xiangzhongding's pleasure boat. In fact, if there was no comparison, this pleasure boat was very good, with carved beams and painted roofs and light gauze flying, but compared with Chen Jiulang's two-story pleasure boat, it was slightly worse than Chen Jiulang's two-story pleasure boat.
Zhou Ze reached out to Xiaobai, but Xiaobai did not dodge and placed his little hand in Zhou Ze's hand.
"Tang brought a lot of people, and I can't help but disturb us. Our pleasure boat is not as exquisite as Mr. Chen. If you don't dislike him, Mr. Chen can also travel with us, taste the lake food, and listen to Miss Yunhe playing the piano."
Before Zhou Ze finished speaking, Chen Jiulang had already spoken a good word, then turned around and got off the pleasure boat, but hesitated at all.
Xiaobai pinched Zhou Ze's hand, and Xiaobai's voice appeared in Zhou Ze's ear.
"This person has known for a long time that we won't go."
Zhou Ze nodded, smiled at Xiaobai, and signaled Xiaobai and Azheng to get on the boat.
"You get on the boat first, Lao Xu checks the pleasure boat."
Lao Xu nodded and followed Xiaobai and A Zheng on board. Although it was hired by Liu Xiangzhong, if the other party wanted to do something, it was not that he did not have the ability. Be careful.
Liu Xiangzhong wanted to speak, but Zhou Ze shook his head slightly.
"You go and keep the carriage here, and buy some of the mats in Zuixian Tower and deliver them later."
Liu Xiangzhong said no, glanced at the double-layer pleasure boat, and then quickly left.
Chen Jiulang had already got off the boat at this time. The man in Nanping Road was not as tall as that of a northerner. However, Chen Jiulang was not short. After all, he looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, but only half a head shorter than Zhou Ze.
"I heard about Mr. Tang for a long time, and I really surprised Chen when I saw him today."
Zhou Ze reached out to the pleasure boat and turned slightly sideways.
"Tang was also surprised. Let's talk about everything on board, please!"
Chen Jiulang did not hesitate and jumped onto the boat directly on the pedal without asking the boatman to support him. Zhou Ze stepped onto the boat carefully and came to the flower hall of the pleasure boat.
Old Xu Ze stood at the bow of the boat and did not come in. Zhou Ze knew that he was afraid of ambushing around him, so he didn't say much.
The flower courtesan girl Yunhe was already standing next to the guzheng and bowed slightly.
"I have met Mr. Tang."
Zhou Ze nodded and pointed at Chen Jiulang behind him.
"This is Mr. Chen Jiulang, the Chen family of Yangzhou. Miss Yunhe should not offend the financial owner!"
Miss Yunhe quickly saluted Chen Jiulang. Chen Jiulang smiled slightly and bowed to Miss Yunhe, looking like a humble young man.
"Young Master Tang is joking, Miss Yunhe doesn't need to care."
Yun He knew his identity, and then quickly sat down to play the piano. Everyone sat down. Zhou Ze was sitting in the main seat, Chen Jiulang sat opposite, Xiaobai sat beside Zhou Ze, and A Zheng sat down at Xiaobai's head.
Chen Jiulang took a sip of tea, without any embarrassment at all, and looked at Zhou Ze with his eyes bent.
"Just Mr. Tang said just now, I was also surprised. I don't know what to do?"
Zhou Ze smiled. This guy is still three-point similar to him. When he thought about coming to Jingzhou, he wanted to know if this person was the same as him, and he had changed his core.
"Tang didn't expect that the head of the Chen family is so young and looks not inferior to a woman. It really surprised Tang. When Mr. Chen saw me, did he also say that he was surprised?"
Chen Jiulang raised his head and smiled, with a little bit of generosity, spread his legs and placed the fan on the table, and said freely.
"I came to Jingzhou because I heard of Mr. Tang's poems. From the poems, I guessed that Mr. Tang was a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties with a beautiful beard flying. I didn't expect to be so young. Since Mr. Tang had such talent and knowledge, why didn't he get fame and honor?"
Zhou Ze smiled and shook his head. He had long thought that Chen Jiulang would ask about this.
"Can you only get fame and fortune? Why didn't Mr. Chen continue to study hard, but came to Jingzhou to open a top-report business?
Oh, by the way, I heard that Mr. Chen was captured by the robbers before and was able to come back safely, which is indeed a good luck."
Chen Jiulang was stunned, and the awkward expression on his face flashed and then he laughed.
"It's just that luck is not good. Perhaps in this generation, Chen is not suitable for entering the court as an official, so he became casual. However, seeing Mr. Tang today really surprised me. Those three first couplets have been passed down in the Chen family for a hundred years, and no one has matched them out, which shows that Mr. Tang is talented."
Zhou Ze waved his hand, looked indifferent, and picked up a plate of cut melon and handed it to Xiaobai. Xiaobai's eyes were dissatisfied. She didn't know why she was wearing a veil, so why did she give her melon?
Xiaobai reached out to take the plate, put it on the table between her and A Zheng, pulling the veil off. Chen Jiulang's eyes paused on Xiaobai's face, and then staggered it.
Zhou Ze shook his legs. In fact, he didn't know much about the couplets, but he had heard of a few famous ones in crosstalk, so he was lucky. If he wrote a few of them on the spot, he wouldn't be right, so he didn't want to pay too much attention to this topic.
"I'm sorry, it's not worth mentioning about my affairs, but Mr. Chen is so old that he is really amazing to take over the family's property.
As far as I know, the Chen family is a prominent family in Yangzhou, and it is worth a lot of people in the entire Nanping Road. I guess the competition is very fierce. If you don’t join the official position, you can imagine how Mr. Chen can take over the Chen family."
The two of them said one by one, and they looked happy on the surface, but in fact they were both destroying each other. Especially Zhou Ze, they were even more frightening, and one problem was more intense than the other.
Chen Jiulang sighed, no longer had the sharpness he had before.
"I won't talk about this anymore. Chen was really happy to hear that Mr. Tang was coming. After all, I was used to fighting at home. If there were any inappropriate words, I hope Mr. Tang would take care of him.
I have been able to get this place at home for many years, and I almost lost my life. The pain can't be explained clearly in just a few words."
Zhou Ze suddenly realized that this meaning was very obvious. He was kidnapped on the way to the exam and almost died. It was all related to the position of the head of the Chen family. He can be in charge now, at least his father has won the position of the head of the family.
In fact, this is like the prince's battle for the throne. Zhou Ze nodded slightly and put away his sharpness.
"It's really not easy for Mr. Chen. It seems that he has taken control of the Chen family now. When he went to Jingzhou, he suddenly set up this top reporter business. He just wanted to develop according to Mr. Chen's intention? Or have any other plans?"
Chen Jiulang put down the teacup and stared at Zhou Ze. It happened that Miss Yunhe's piano sound changed and she began to play the songs she sang in Wenxiang Pavilion that day, and the rain was gurgling outside the curtain.
"More than a month ago, someone returned to Yangzhou and brought back a copy of several poems, including the poem played by Miss Yunhe at the moment. I heard that man humming and reading the poem, and I was shocked.
So I asked the man overnight where the poems came from. He talked about Jingzhou and talked about the Hejiang Chamber of Commerce. I was extremely shocked and summoned people that night to prepare for the establishment of a business.
Then we brought some of the businesses that our Chen family had just started to engage in to Jingzhou, and chose to set up these pairs opposite the Hejiang Chamber of Commerce, all to attract your attention. Mr. Tang can tell that Chen is here for you!"
