Unparalleled Fortune in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 54 Waiting (Second Update)
Just past noon, the Moon Tower had already become overwhelmed by people.

Usually after noon, even if Wangyuelou is already the number one restaurant in the capital, it is unavoidably empty. After all, after dinner, no matter how good the restaurant is, no one needs it!

The news of Liang Jiu's power amplifier spread very quickly, and scholars more or less felt that they were underappreciated, so they all wanted to come and join in the fun.

It's okay to join in the fun, but the restaurant is so big, and there are too many people coming, so it is easy to make noise.

"What's going on, why is it so noisy."

Liang Jiugong: "Going back to Long Live, many people and scholars have come to the lobby downstairs one after another. They all want to join in the fun. People who are familiar with each other meet and say a few words. When there are more people, it will naturally become noisy. "

Kangxi understood, and said to Yinzhen: "This is your restaurant, you can solve this problem."

As for how to solve it, Kangxi didn't say, he gave his son a chance to perform.

When Yinzhen heard the words, he was ordered out of the elegant room.

After about a quarter of an hour, the restaurant became quiet, and Yinzhen also came up.

"what have you done?"

Although he had confidence in his son, he was too fast. How long did he go down? The originally noisy lobby suddenly became quiet. Kangxi wondered what method he used to do it.

"I just asked the shopkeeper to set up another competition place outside the door. The number of places is limited. I will give them a chance to practice their pens first and find out how they feel. Besides, there will be a competition later, so we can't all Come on, it will be convenient to remove those who fish in troubled waters and wait for the next competition."

Kangxi nodded, very satisfied in his heart, this son did not disappoint him: "You did a good job, sit down and wait!"

Seeing this, Tong Cheng'er admired the efficiency of this fourth elder brother. If the maids around her could have such effectiveness and efficiency in handling affairs, she felt that she could really lie down and die in comfort for the rest of her life.

what a pity!It's a pity that such a good brain doesn't belong to her maid.

Yinzhen paid special attention to Tong Cheng'er, so even though her scrutinizing eyes were extremely dark, Yinzhen still noticed and felt it, and then he felt strange, what kind of eyes did she have, what a pity?Is there anything to be sorry for him?

It made him confused, and he really couldn't figure it out.

It was still early before [-]:[-], and Kangxi asked someone to bring a chessboard: "Can Xuewen know how to play chess?"

"Go back to Lord Long Live, the servant understands a little bit."

"Come with me for the next game."

"Yes."

Staying with the emperor, even if there are other people in this private room, Tong Cheng'er feels extremely uncomfortable, because she can't move around or talk casually, and she is depressed and panicked.

Kangxi and Tong Xuewen played chess with fascination. Tong Xuewen's chess skills are good, and Kangxi's chess skills can't be said to be bad, but as an emperor, he has too many things to do, so his chess skills can only be considered good, and the two are evenly matched. .

After playing a game of chess, Kangxi narrowly won in the end.

Kangxi asked people to take away the chessboard, and then sighed: "The younger generation is awesome, and the game is good."

"It's the slave who made a fool of himself."

Kangxi looked at the quietness of the room, and then realized that he seemed to be too fascinated, leaving the whole room alone.

"It's almost time, Xuewen to prepare!"

Tong Xuewen resigned, and Tong Cheng'er and Shu Yu naturally left with him after he left.

After leaving the private room, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Tong Cheng'er was still nervous even if it wasn't the first time she saw Kangxi, the majesty of the emperor was really suffocating.

The three of them glanced at each other, and then Tong Cheng'er said, "Second brother, do you want to read a book for a while?"

Tong Xuewen smiled and shook his head: "Is there any book for me to read, are you confused?"

Tong Cheng'er: It seems to be the same.

The three returned to the private room, thinking about the sound insulation effect of the private room, they stopped talking.

Anyway, Tong Cheng'er is really scared, she is so lucky, this is the third time she has come to Wangyuelou, she met Kangxi twice, and Si elder brother three times, she feels that she has something to do with this restaurant Open evil fate.

She definitely won't come to this restaurant again in the future, it's useless to invite anyone, she can't come if you kill her.

It's so wicked.

Kangxi asked Liang Jiugong to spread the news, not only the scholars in the capital got the news, but Zhang Ying himself also heard the news. He didn't expect that someone would use his name as a raft and make such a big battle.

The official has reached his level, and there is no shortage of sons in the family. He knows that the Long Live Lord is wary of officials of Han origin, so he dare not accept any disciples and make such a big show.

When Zhang Ying heard the report from the housekeeper, his first reaction was whether political enemies wanted to get him involved. He was afraid that it would reach Kangxi's ears, so he immediately sent someone to Wangyue Tower to investigate.

Kangxi used his name, and he would not hide it from him. He heard Liang Jiugong say that Zhang Ying sent someone to investigate, so he asked Liang Jiugong to tell the whole story. After Zhang Ying learned about it from the housekeeper, he changed into light clothes , to Moon Tower.

Since it's Lord Long Live, it's fine. He went to see what arrangements Lord Long Live has.

As a loyal subject, if he wants to do well in court, Lord Long Live must have a little understanding of his thoughts.

Although the operation of Long Live Lord is a little "coquettish", he is Long Live Lord.

Not only can Zhang Ying not be angry, but he should also be grateful to Dade, after all, it is his honor to be a courtier if Long Live God uses him.

Don't talk about the character of a literati, this thing can't be promoted. Besides, the character of character is for colleagues to see. Long Live Lord needs courtiers who can share his worries, and he is not a literati with character.

Zhang Ying thought about the intention of Long Live Lord's operation, and based on his years of experience, he guessed Kangxi's mind at random, and then the carriage arrived at Wangyue Tower.

"Long live, Lord Zhang Ying is here."

Kangxi thought to himself, this old fox came really fast.

"Let him in!"

"Yes."

"The servant has seen the Lord Long Live."

"Okay, get up, Liang Jiugong, sit down."

Zhang Ying stood up: "Slave, thank you Long Live Lord."

Then he sat down.

Kangxi said: "You came at a good time. After the meeting, you go out and show your face. As for whether to accept disciples and who to accept as disciples, you can decide for yourself."

Zhang Ying: "The servant obeys."

Time passed quickly, and after rounds of screening outside the Moon Tower, there were only 50 people who could finally enter the Moon Tower to participate in the competition, including Tong Xuewen himself, Wang Linyu and Xu Chengzhi.

50 people is not too small.

It's [-]:[-], and when the time comes, the shopkeeper will come out to preside over the overall situation.

Xu Chengzhi had been sober for a while. After he woke up and knew what happened, he was told that he must participate in a competition later, saying that it was requested by a nobleman, and he was very scared.

"Brother Wang, what do you think I should do? I just woke up from the wine. Also, who is the person who asked me to compete? Is it okay not to participate in this competition?"

Wang Linyu said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid it won't work. I heard that if you can stand out in this competition, you will have a chance to become Master Zhang Ying's disciple."

Xu Chengzhi: "Do you think that noble person is Master Zhang Ying?"

Wang Linyu shook his head: "I'm not very clear about this, but the nobleman said that this is the first competition between you and Tong Xuewen."

Xu Chengzhi lamented: "In the future, I will definitely quit drinking. Drinking is a mistake!"

Xu Chengzhi was able to make it to the last step, so he wasn't really stupid. He didn't understand what the nobleman said. He must have seen his drunken behavior. It would be fine if he could really beat Tong Xuewen, but he would score fifty In addition to the name, compared with Huiyuan, what else can he compare with.

Wang Linyu followed with a sigh: "It's useless to talk too much, Cheng Zhi, you just do your best, and I apologize after the competition."

Xu Chengzhi said despondently: "That's the only way to go." It's better to lose face than to lose face. His family is a small family in the south of the Yangtze River, but in any case, it can't compare with the son of a noble family in the capital.

He was really drunk, how could he say such stupid words!
It's not good to hold back in his heart. Why didn't he say anything about the door? He regretted so much that he wished he hadn't come out today.
