Chapter 944 Lan Tingyu
Chen Yang's dish orders came soon. He ordered a pot of wine and ate a slice of fish with the wine. The fish was braised with the emperor's vinegar fish, with a rich soup and sprinkled with chopped green onion. The fish meat was crispy, soft and tender, leaving a fragrant mouth.
Plus that sip of millet wine is really delicious!
Chen Yang tasted wine and meat like this, and Mr. Wu's storytelling was coming to an end. Next, it was time to give the reward. A little girl took a tray to collect the money. When she received Chen Yang's place, the little girl shouted sweetly: "Big brother!"
Chen Yang smiled slightly. He was not a stingy person. He took out ten taels of gold and threw it directly onto the pallet.
At this moment, the little girl was immediately stunned. She had never received such a large reward!
"Thank you, brother." The little girl reacted after a while. The people around her were also a little sensational. Everyone gave me a few cents and some silver coins. It was like five yuan or ten yuan. Chen Yang's move was 6,000 yuan!
A rich man!
All the guests looked at Chen Yang with admiration and whispered in private. Chen Yang was too lazy to care.
However, Mr. Wu was a sensible person. He immediately pulled his granddaughter to Chen Yang, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you, my son, for the reward."
Chen Yang was not arrogant either. He stood up and said, "The old man doesn't have to be such a big gift, it's just a slight effort."
Mr. Wu said, "Young Master is generous, I am so grateful!"
Chen Yang suddenly became interested and said, "Old sir, if you are fine, can you sit down and have a drink with me?"
Mr. Wu was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Okay, OK, of course it's good."
After the storytelling here is completed, the ones that should be finished will end. The rest are all looking for their own fun.
Mr. Wu pulled his granddaughter to sit down, and Chen Yang shouted, "Waiter, come here."
The waiter came over immediately and asked, "Come on, please give me instructions."
Chen Yang asked the little girl with a smile and said, "Little sister, what do you like to eat? Just pay attention to it. Big brother invites you to eat."
The little girl looked at Mr. Wu with some timidity. Mr. Wu said, "Young Master is generous in giving me rewards. Then I will be the boss today. How about it?"
Chen Yang smiled and said, "It's fine, as long as the old man is happy."
Mr. Wu laughed and said, "Young Master Qiyu is not an ordinary person." He then said to the waiter: "Give me a serving of the roast goose, my little granddaughter will be greedy."
"Okay!" the waiter responded.
Mr. Wu then ordered two more dishes. After that, Chen Yang poured wine for him.
Mr. Wu raised his glasses with Chen Yang. After the two of them drank a glass of wine, Chen Yang picked up food for the little girl and asked casually: "Little sister, what are your name?"
The little girl said, "Big brother, my name is Wu Xiaohua."
Mr. Wu said, "Xiaohua was originally wandering to the imperial city. Anyway, I am also a lonely old man, so I became a companion with me, so I accepted her as my granddaughter to raise her."
Chen Yang smiled slightly and said, "So that's it."
Mr. Wu said, "Have you not asked Mr. Daming yet?"
Chen Yang said: "Old sir, my surname is Chen, and my single name is Yang."
"Oh, it turns out it's Mr. Chen. Judging from Mr. Chen's accent, he doesn't seem to be from the imperial city." Mr. Wu said.
Chen Yang told the truth and said, "I just arrived at the imperial city today."
Mr. Wu said: "Mr. Chen is coming to the imperial city, is it a trip or...?"
Chen Yang said: "To enter the officialdom."
Mr. Wu was slightly stunned and said, "Young Master is going to join the officialdom?"
Chen Yang said: "That's right."
Mr. Wu took a sip of rice wine, but did not speak.
Chen Yang said: "Old sir, is it inappropriate to enter the officialdom?"
Mr. Wu said: "That's not. However, there is a population of 30 million in this imperial city. The entire Dakang country has a population of 300 million. Every day, more than one million students squeeze their heads to gain a foothold in this imperial city. But most of them return in disappointment. The imperial city is very prosperous, but behind the prosperity is more cruel."
Chen Yang remained silent.
Mr. Wu said, "But Mr. Chen, you are very human, so it will definitely be different."
Chen Yang said, "To be honest, sir, I am a Taoist practitioner. I also have some magical methods. I met the young master of the sixth son of Wuhou, Lan Jian. I came here today and had an agreement with Lan Jian, a young master, so I came to surrender."
Mr. Wu immediately raised his glass and said happily: "It turns out that Mr. Chen has already made plans, but my worries are unnecessary. Now Mr. Lan is a powerful man in the dynasty. Mr. Chen knows Mr. Lan and young master Lan. If you want to enter the officialdom, it will be much easier."
Chen Yang said: "Old sir, we are just chatting. I also want to know more about Wuhou, can you tell me?"
Mr. Wu said, "Your Madam Chen, you are so stumped. I am just making a living. In fact, a person like Mr. Lan is not something that a mountain villager like me can come into contact with."
Chen Yang smiled slightly and said, "That's okay, let's drink."
Mr. Wu followed him to drink, and he said, "Some of the things I know are heard from me, and I dare not say them to you, Mr. Chen."
Chen Yang said: "That's nothing. We just treat it as a topic of conversation after dinner, and we don't take it seriously."
Mr. Wu said, "Okay, Mr. Chen, then I'll just talk about it."
Chen Yang knew that the old man was still a little bit good. He smiled and said, "You said, I'll listen."
Mr. Wu said: "Mr. Lan is a very amazing person. Today's Master is so smooth to have this situation today because of his right-hand assistant like Mar. Lan."
Chen Yang said: "Marty Lan is indeed amazing."
Mr. Wu smiled and said, "Besides, Mr. Chen, the most powerful thing about Marquis Lan is not his martial arts skills and talent. Do you know what it is?"
Chen Yang said: "I don't know."
Mr. Wu said: "The most powerful thing about Marquis Lan is loyalty to the emperor. He can do everything for the emperor. If anyone says the emperor's name is not a word in private, he will definitely not forgive him."
Chen Yang was slightly surprised and said, "Old sir, what you said is a bit meaningful."
Mr. Wu smiled slightly.
Chen Yang knew that the old man was reminding him. After all, he was going to surrender to the Wuhou Mansion, so the old man was telling him some things about the Wuhou Mansion.
Mr. Wu continued: "Mr. Lan and the emperor have the same ambitions. This is the most rare pair of monarchs and ministers. There is no suspicion between the two."
Chen Yang said, "You continue to talk." Mr. Wu said, "But Mr. Lan also has his own troubles."
"Oh, what's the trouble?" Chen Yang asked.
Mr. Wu said: "Mr. Lan has seven sons and one daughter. One of these children is a concubine. This son is his youngest son, named Lan Tingyu."
"This doesn't seem to be a worry," Chen Yang said.
Mr. Wu smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Chen, please listen to me."
Chen Yang said: "Okay."
Mr. Wu said: "Mr. Lan is a fair and selfless person. His wife, Mrs. Lin, is strict in managing the family. His sons and daughters are all young talents, both filial and capable."
Chen Yang said: "Is the problem lies with Lan Tingyu?"
Mr. Wu said: "Lan Tingyu's life experience is very special."
"How special?" Chen Yang asked.
Mr. Wu said, "Lan Tingyu's mother is the saint of the Star Hall. The Star Hall was vaguely no worse than the Great Destroy Temple. Mr. Lan and the Master wanted to destroy the Star Hall, but they did not want to cause too much damage. So Mr. Lan deliberately approached Lan Tingyu's mother Ye Luanfeng. Ye Luanfeng fell in love with Mr. Lan and became the concubine of Mr. Lan. For Mr. Lan, Ye Luanfeng handed over the unique skills of the Star Hall to Mr. Lan. After that, the Star Hall was destroyed. Ye Luanfeng stayed in the Marquis' Mansion and gave birth to Lan Tingyu for Mr. Lan."
Chen Yang said: "What's the matter?"
Mr. Wu said: "When Ye Luanfeng left the Star Palace, her skills were destroyed. She is a great woman, but unfortunately she loved the wrong person."
Chen Yang'er tightened.
Mr. Wu said: "Later, Ye Luanfeng died of serious illness when Lan Tingyu was six years old. It is said that Mrs. Lin killed Ye Luanfeng. But no one knows what happened. Lan Tingyu is still young, so naturally she cannot uphold justice for her mother. But what is even more excessive is that Mr. Lan gave an order. That is, Lan Tingyu cannot practice martial arts."
"Why don't you let Lan Tingyu practice martial arts?" Chen Yang was shocked.
For a moment, Chen Yang felt sad. He seemed to see his own shadow in Lan Tingyu.
Mr. Wu said: "I don't know why, but Lan Tingyu is not allowed to practice martial arts anyway."
Chen Yang's eyes looked heavy.
"In recent years, Lan Tingyu has suffered a lot of grievances. He is not welcomed in the Marquis' Mansion and lives a harder life than a servant. Even a maid can bully him." Mr. Wu said.
Chen Yang said, "Don't Mr. Lan know?"
Mr. Wu said, "I don't know if Marquis Lan knows it. But Marquis Lan has never taken care of it."
"Why do you need this?" Chen Yang asked.
Mr. Wu smiled and said, "Who can know what Mr. Lan is thinking?"
Chen Yang sighed. But he immediately said, "But even so, this is not considered a trouble for Marquis Lan, isn't it?"
Mr. Wu said: "If Lan Tingyu had been suffering so much, it would naturally not be the trouble of Marquis Lan. But the key question is..."
"What is it?" Chen Yang was puzzled.
