Chapter 36 It's Embarrassing

Wu Changqing was also deeply moved by this and nodded and agreed: "The more you come into contact with Contentment, the more you feel that he is unfathomable. What I admire now is that I am promising to him."

"Oh?" Pan Shiming joked: "Everyone is arrogant and arrogant, and he is also promising?"

"I'm convinced." Wu Changqing smiled and said, "I can't accept it..." Before he finished speaking, he heard the stairs ringing. He looked at him sideways and saw Yi Shizuo. Yan Shikuan and the others came together, and they hurriedly stood up to meet him.

The four of them greeted each other and Yi Zhizu smiled and said, "I am making the decision without authorization. In the name of Brother Zecheng, Changqing and Zaixia, I invite a group of merchants who have always been in contact with me to come to the Shuzhuqiao Restaurant for a party. I hope you will forgive me."

"Don't be separated from us for contentment." Pan Shiming smiled and said, "There are many people coming to Wenlan Academy... Today is a small gathering, so I have to book this restaurant." As he said that, he walked to the stairs and said loudly to the downstairs: "My man, please inform the shopkeeper, the restaurant will book a restaurant and will not accept guests."

When he heard that the young master of the Pan family was booking the venue, the shopkeeper ran to the stairs and said with a bright look on his face: "Your Madam Pan also asks you to show me how many guests there are? The shop is ready for the early preparation."

"Four tables are prepared upstairs and downstairs."

When Pan Shiming ordered eight tables, Yi Zhizu secretly wondered, there were so many people coming? Then he realized that there were many merchants in the Thirteenth Industry, which were much more than he thought, because there were far more than Thirteen, and many business companies like the Wu family, Pan family, Lu family, and Yan family, all of which were from several houses, but they were not as thin as his Yi family.

After thinking about this, Yi Zhizu immediately felt a little unlucky! There are so many people, so why can’t we start a meeting? I still don’t know whether to live in a town or not. He has always had no prestige among the thirteen-ranking children. If he messed up, he would make a joke.

The four of them sat down, Yi Zhizu explained: "I am inviting everyone to come today to discuss with everyone about running newspapers and opening a money shop..."

"It's so good." Wu Changqing took the conversation and said, "It's a waste of time for everyone to come to you."

"That's what it means." Yi Zhizu nodded with a smile, looked at Pan Shiming, and said, "I wonder how many people are here in Wenlan Academy?"

"It's about two tables." Pan Shiming smiled and said, "A newspaper that is distributed in several southeastern provinces is very attractive and many people are interested. However, I only invited the children of businessmen."

Fortunately, if there are outsiders, it would be even more chaotic! Yi Zhizu secretly said lucky, and then followed the conversation and said, "Does Brother Zecheng have the time and energy? Can you be responsible for preparing newspaper matters?"

Wu Changqing had asked him this question before. Pan Shiming knew that this was a rare opportunity, and immediately said without hesitation: "It is a blessing for Shiming to be able to participate in the preparation of newspapers with such a huge influence. I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on a great task."

Yi Jingzu smiled and said, "Water is originally unpretentious, and it is rippling with each other, and it is rippling with each other. Who has fire? It strikes each other and shines in the world. Things in the world are exciting and forced, and most of them are accomplished. Then Brother Cheng..."

"Wait." Pan Shiming said in surprise: "Where does this couplet come from?"

Yi Zhizu was stunned by his question. Is this a slogan hanging in the school? Is it good? God knows where it comes from? Could it be that it is from later generations? He coughed lightly and then said, "I can't remember it. It seems that I have seen it in a foreign novel."

To coax the ghost, this is obviously a couplet with neat sounds. Can foreigners write such a good couplet? Pan Shiming, Wu Changqing, and Yan Shikuan stare at him with a look of thieves.

Can you still speak well? Yi Zhizu spread his hands, shook his head and shrugged his shoulders, and said with a gaze: "I am not that good-looking and I can pick it up easily. Where did you just say it?"

"Water is originally unpretentious, and it is rippling with each other, and the stones have fire, and they can strike each other and shine. Things in the world are exciting and forced, and most of them can accomplish things." Pan Shiming stood up and said proudly: "Just say this, I will take over this burden for my brother."

"Good couplet! A wonderful couplet!" A loud shout came from downstairs.

After hearing this praise, Pan Shiming stood up and smiled and said, "Before seeing him, I heard his voice first, Brother Junhu has arrived."

With the shouts, the stairs were thudding, and a group of young men wearing blue-edged and blue robes rushed up one after another. Yi Zhizu knew at a glance that this was a group of people from Wenlan Academy. He couldn't help but feel happy. Unexpectedly, the students from Wenlan Academy came so early that they could be divided into two groups to talk separately.

The four of them quickly stood up to greet him. Without a greeting, a slightly more elegant young man asked directly: "Who made this wonderful couplet that Brother Zecheng had just recited?" As he said that, he nodded at Pan Shiming, Wu Changqing nodded, looked at Yan Shikuan, and set his eyes on Yi Zhizu.

Pan Shiming took a step sideways and smiled and said, "Come on, let me introduce you to you. This is Fu Taixing's Easy Contentment, and the wonderful couplet that just now comes from the mouth of contentment."

After saying that, he introduced to Yi Zhizu: "This is Ma Yinglong, who is from Shuntai, whose courtesy name is Junhu. He is well-known among the children of our businessmen."

Ma Yinglong bowed and smiled, "The character is extraordinary and has outstanding literary talent. It's really better to meet than to be famous."

"Brother Junhu praised me, but I dare not take it." Yi Zhizu quickly bowed back and returned the favor. He knew that he could not explain, so he simply explained it lazyly and greeted everyone with a smile.

All the people were interested in newspapers, and today they came for Yishisu, so they were naturally quite polite. After a round of greetings,

Someone asked curiously: "Brother Zhizu is so literary. I don't know which academy I went to study?"

This is really called "no matter which pot you don't open," Yi Zhizu has never entered the academy in the past two years. He is hanging out with Yan Shikuan every day. He is about to tell the truth. Wu Changqing, who knows his situation, rushed to say: "You don't know anything. You are content and have no intention of imperial examinations. You like mixed studies. You are devoted to studying at home. Although he is about the same age as us, he is proficient in Western learning and mixed studies, and is especially good at economics. You can be said to be knowledgeable and talented, and well-versed in Chinese and Western learning..."

Wenlan Academy was donated by the Thirteenth Company merchants. Most of the children of the Thirteenth Company studied in Wenlan Academy, and Wu Changqing was no exception. All the bachelors knew him and knew that he had always been arrogant and refused to convince others. They were all surprised to see that he admired Yi Zhizu so much.

Yi Zhizu was sweating on his back when he heard it, and he quickly smiled and said, "Don't listen to him nonsense, he just read a few books randomly..." As he said that, he reached out and gave in and said, "Everyone, sit there, no elders are present, so we don't need to detain those false rituals."

Most of the students were in their early 190s and early 20s, and they were very familiar with each other. They immediately sat down casually with talking and laughing. Pan Shiming glanced at everyone before looking at Yi Zhizu and said, "Quest, everyone is attracted by the newspaper. You are the main master today."
