Chapter 141 Are you really ignorant or pretending not to know?
Cheng Wen saw Xu Jie coming in, stood up, stood up straight, with a blue shirt flashing golden patterns, and a sincere smile, bowed and said, "Thank you for being invited, I am very honored. Brother Yu prepared a few pots of wine and admire Wenyuan's literary talent. Today I am lucky to chat with Wenyuan and talk to the ancient sages, please!"
Xu Jie also smiled, but he was thinking more about why Cheng Wen suddenly had such a good attitude. He had been considered a bit of friction before. At this time, he was already called brother and called Xu Jie's name. But when he looked back, when he first met Cheng Wen, it seemed that this etiquette was really good.
"Thank you brother Cheng for your kindness." Xu Jie returned politely, but saw the woman behind him also stood up and gave a gentle blessing, but he just didn't say anything.
Xu Jie sat down at the pavilion, and the wine and food on the table were prepared. The maid behind him also came forward to serve the bowls, plates, chopsticks, and poured the wine. The servant who had just gone to pick up Xu Jie was also standing behind Cheng Wen to serve him.
"After Brother Yu returned home the night before, he regretted that he had not communicated much with Wen Yuan. He stayed yesterday and even heard that Wen Yuan and Master Wu of Jiangning had a close relationship. Today, he heard that Wen Yuan and Xie Zhongcheng played chess late at night and the talented man became a young man." Cheng Wen said with a smile.
Xu Jie was a little surprised. How did Chengwen know about his chess game with Xie Fang?
"Brother Cheng is praised. I am just a student in Huaixi. It is a lucky chance to meet some seniors when I first gained fame. I cannot be called a talent." Xu Jie replied.
Cheng Wen didn't care whether Xu Jie was modest or not. He pointed to the woman beside him and said, "This is Xiaorong, I heard that Brother Yu met Wen Yuan. You must come and see Wen Yuan's style. Sister Su admired Wen Yuan for a long time."
Xu Jie was also confused when he heard this. Xu Jie didn't think he had such a big name. People admired him everywhere. Xu Jie had only been in Xu Family Town for less than a year, so how could he have such a big name? So Xu Jie just nodded with the woman politely.
I didn't expect the woman to speak: "I have seen Mr. Xu. The little girl has been hiding for a long time. Since I saw the tear-jerking "Love and Revenge", I always thought about how talented the person who wrote such a story is. I thought it was the old master who was accustomed to the wind and frost of the world that he could write such touching things. It was not until not long ago that I learned that it was a young talent, which was really unexpected."
"The girl is too awarded, and I'm just thinking about it, and I can't think of it." Xu Jie only realized that the "Love and Revenge Record" had been spread to the capital. However, I always felt a little strange when I saw the situation today, and it also made Xu Jie feel a little alert in his subconscious.
"How can it be just a simple pen and a thought? It must be true that it can be written into such a story. I didn't expect that there would be so many grudges and hatreds in this world." The woman said hurriedly, not believing that the story was created by Xu Jie casually, and felt that there must be a prototype in it.
It is also in this era that no one has ever written in this way. The memorials and texts in this era are mostly like historical books recording stories, with more cold content. The only ones who can tell stories with emotion and ups and downs are the only ones who can tell stories with emotion.
Xu Jie was wary and did not have the intention of chatting or talking about the so-called creation with this woman. He wanted to get straight to the point and wanted to know what the hell was selling in the written gourd.
Then he saw Xu Jie and the woman smiled politely, nodded, and turned to Chengwen and said, "I wonder why Brother Cheng invited me to come today?"
Xu Jie suddenly said this, and in this kind of atmosphere that was familiar to each other, it seemed a little abrupt. When Cheng Wen heard this, he was silent for a moment and smiled: "There are countless talents in the world, and there are very few who can compare with Wen Yuan. Brother Yu was happy to see his talent, and he couldn't help but have a friend. He was afraid that Wen Yuan would not know the sincerity of his brother Yu's intentions, so he invited me like this. It was not important. He just wanted to communicate more with Wen Yuan. Brother Yu has always talked and laughed in this capital city, but he had no white talk. I think Wen Yuan had never had much social interaction with the famous scholars in this capital city. Brother Yu also wanted to help Wen Yuan and make Wen Yuan famous in this capital as soon as possible, which is also a good story."
Xu Jie understood, but he didn't. Where is such a good thing in the world? He gave money, had a banquet, and had a beautiful woman to accompany him. He also wanted to help Xu Jie become famous. This is strange that there is no requirement for such a Prajna.
"If Brother Cheng has something to do, he will be obliged to do it, even if he can do it, he will be obliged to do it." Xu Jie said a scene, but he really had no intention of circling around Chengwen.
This sentence is too straightforward, but Chengwen laughed and didn't expect Xu Jie to speak in this way. He had never met someone who spoke to him like this?
But Chengwen laughed again after turning it in a flash: "It's good, so I won't hide it anymore. Wenyuan thinks how is this diligent source?"
Xu Jie really understood it almost this time and replied: "The courtyard here is very elegant, and I think it is one of the few good places in the capital."
"Okay, since Wenyuan likes it, Brother Yu gives it to you." Cheng Wen said, extremely generous.
Xu Jie waved his hands repeatedly: "I dare not dare, I will not receive any reward without any contribution, and I will never dare to receive this great gift."
Cheng Wen frowned when he heard this and asked, "You are the third brother, you can take over the small ruined house. Brother Yu, you don't want it. Why should Wen Yuan keep people from being so far away?"
"I just asked Lingdi to help rent a yard, but I didn't accept the gift. Cheng Cheng misunderstood." Xu Jie explained.
Cheng Wen looked at Xu Jie and saw that Xu Jie was not as fake as he was speaking, and laughed: "It's just a misunderstanding, so there is no need to rent a house. The third brother is really stingy. He is not a good tree, and he is not worthy of Wen Yuan's great talent, nor is he worthy of Wen Yuan's famous friends. Why didn't Wen Yuan move here directly? His daily expenses should be counted on Brother Yu, and his servants and maids are worth more than a dozen."
Xu Jie looked up at Cheng Wen, and felt in his heart that the aristocratic family is really different from the small families! The family is fighting for the inheritance. In Cheng Wen's eyes, Xu Jie seemed to have become a threat. It seemed that Xu Jie should not have had contact with Cheng Rui, and he should not have accepted Cheng Rui's kindness to help rent a house.
But Xu Jie became more and more sympathetic at this time. He lived in such an environment every day, even if he made a friend, someone would disturb him. Is this really necessary?
"Brother Cheng, if this matter is related to your family affairs, I really don't want to participate. I meet Ling's brother by chance and have a good impression of each other, and I am a gentleman. Brother Cheng doesn't have to care so much, let alone waste money like this." Xu Jie's words were also blunt.
This time, Cheng Wen was really silent and looked at Xu Jie without saying a word.
The woman next to her kept looking at her brother, and her face looked a little ugly. Obviously, she really didn't know that she would encounter such a scene, let alone the competition among them.
Cheng Wen frowned and was silent, but the servant behind Cheng Wen wanted to share the worries for the Lord and said, "Young Master Xu, do you really don't know or pretend not to know?"
This time it was Xu Jie's turn to be stunned. Xu Jie obviously really didn't know.
