Chapter 17: The Three Young Masters of Qiantang
Although Xiao Fan was unhappy about being interrupted at the critical moment, there was nothing he could do about it.
When Xiao Fan followed Song Yinzhang into the Wanhua Building, he suddenly realized that it was very lively inside, and the upstairs and downstairs were filled with guests with different accents from north to south.
There was actually a song and dance performance in the hall downstairs. Although the quality of the dancers was no longer on the same level as the dances I had seen on Henan Satellite TV, it was still quite unique.
After all, they are a well-known professional top-level singing and dancing team in the country, and the ones in front of them are famous only in Hangzhou, so they cannot belittle themselves because of this.
At this time, when the shopkeeper of Wanhualou saw Song Yinzhang arriving, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Ms. Song, you're here. Please come over here. There are many distinguished guests waiting for Mrs. Song to appear!"
"Sorry, there was some delay on the way!" Then he introduced to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper Yang, this is Mr. Xiao. Thank you very much for helping me today, otherwise I might not have been able to come."
"This is Shopkeeper Yang from Wanhua Building," Song Yinzhang introduced Shopkeeper Yang to Xiao Fan and then said, "Shopkeeper Yang, this is my friend, please help arrange it!"
After Xiao Fan and Shopkeeper Yang greeted each other, Song Yinzhang took Yin Ping and Shopkeeper Yang to the backcourt. Xiao Fan followed the waiter upstairs and sat down against the railing.
"Why doesn't Mrs. Song come out yet?"
"That is to say, I have been waiting for a long time. If you don't come out, I will go back, otherwise the tigress at home will show off her power."
"Brother, a man of seven feet, is actually afraid of a woman. It is simply a shame for our generation!"
"Aren't you afraid? Aren't you afraid that if you don't say this, go back and tell your wife tonight?"
"..."
Xiao Fan smiled slightly while listening to the conversation at the next table. He didn't expect that the Song Dynasty also had strict wives, and there were a group of them. This group of strict wives actually had the audacity to come to drink flower wine.
Then Xiao Fan remembered the scene of Zhao Paner training him today, um, am I going to have to be a strict wife in the future?
"Brother, why are you laughing?" Brother Yan, a housewife, looked a little embarrassed when he heard someone laughing at him.
"Well, I remembered something happy."
"What's the joy?"
"My wife is also very majestic."
"Oh? Since brother is also afraid of the tigress at home, why are you still laughing at me?"
"I don't mean to make fun of you, but my wife has told me to laugh when I think of her!"
As soon as Xiao Fan said this, everyone took a deep breath and showed an expression of admiration. This was a state they could not reach.
After reporting their identities to each other, they finally got to know each other. Ning Liheng was the son-in-law of Madam Su, the head of the Su family, the richest man in Qiantang.
Chai Zongliang claims to be a descendant of Chai Shizong, but as far as Xiao Fan knows, Chai Rong's descendants are extinct. His father-in-law is the headmaster of Qiantang Academy and is also his teacher.
The last one, He Zhenwei, is really afraid of his wife. His father-in-law comes from a family of generals, and his wife has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. He can't beat his wife.
After understanding this, Xiao Fan felt that he had to stay away from these people. Was it because these people were so enthusiastic about him that they wanted to draw him into their "alliance of husband-worryers"?
I think I, Xiao Fan, am proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, can recite poems and write poems with ease, and am an expert in martial arts with both spear and sword. As the saying goes, "If Xiao Fan was not born in heaven, eternity would be like a long night." How could a person like me be with such a group of wives?
Strict management?
"Come, drink! Brother Xiao, let me tell you, this woman is afraid of being stalked. As the saying goes, a martyr woman is afraid of being stalked. As long as your wife still has you in her heart, what does a momentary conflict mean?" Chai Zongliang said respectfully.
Xiao Fan said with a cup.
"That's right, Brother Xiao, let me tell you, every time my wife encounters troubles in business, I take her to the night market to eat snacks. Although the food is cheap, my wife is happy to go shopping with me!
" Ning Liheng also said.
"There's me, there's me," He Zhenwei said hurriedly: "Brother Xiao, every time my wife gets angry and wants to take action, I run away and then run to the swing we played together when we were kids. As soon as I sit on it, she
He stopped being angry and even hugged me on the swing together!"
"And I..."
"Brother Xiao, let me tell you..."
Xiao Fan listened to these wives' strict control over what they said to each other, and he immediately fell into admiration.
What is the most important thing in this world? Talent is the most important!
What is talent? These are the first-class, peerless talents!
Xiao Fan just said that he and his wife had a quarrel and asked them to help find a solution. He didn't expect that they were so capable!
At this moment, Xiao Fan made a major decision, that is, he made these friends. From now on, they will be his half-brothers!
Moreover, he also discovered that these people who said they were strict with their wives actually loved their wives.
For example, Ning Liheng and Madam Su met through a misunderstanding. When they learned that Madam Su was the only woman in the Su family's main house, and Madam Su wanted to be the head of the Su family, she voluntarily married into the family as a scholar.
Chai Zongliang and his teacher’s daughter were in love, but the teacher didn’t agree at first. Because although Chai Zongliang often boasted that he was a descendant of the Chai family, it could not change the fact that he was a poor boy. It was his wife’s repeated insistence that finally allowed him to
The teacher changed his mind.
He Zhenwei and his wife were childhood sweethearts, but the two families never got along well. After all, they come from a scholarly family and a military family, and they don't like each other. Of course, maybe it's just on the surface that they don't like each other.
The reason why they are here today is because today several ladies went to Lingyin Temple outside the city to offer incense together. And they happened to hear that the famous Jiangnan pipa player Song Yinzhang and Song Jiajia will come to Wanhua Tower to perform, so they wanted to come and see
look.
Xiao Fan only drank tea because his injuries were not completely healed.
When Song Yinzhang came out, the faces of the new brothers around Xiao Fan were already glowing.
I just don’t know how they would explain it to their wives when they went back, and I don’t know if kneeling on the washboard was popular in the Song Dynasty.
At this time, Song Yinzhang had changed into a bright red dress with gold inlay, looking particularly noble and elegant.
Song Yinzhang looked around, seemingly looking for someone.
Although there were many people upstairs and downstairs, Song Yinzhang could still spot Xiao Fan upstairs at a glance. Even among the crowd, he was still so outstanding and dazzling.
Song Yinzhang played the song "Ming Fei Song" that she said she would play to Xiao Fan before. This is what she is best at, and it tells the story of Zhaojun's expedition to the fortress.
Xiao Fan couldn't help feeling that Song Yinzhang was indeed a master of Jiangnan pipa. He played "Ming Fei Song" with his true feelings and made people cry.
After the song ended and everyone dispersed, Song Yinzhang said goodbye to Xiao Fan at the gate of Wanhua Tower: "Mr. Xiao, thank you so much for your help today. I say goodbye today! I will visit you again in the future!"
"Ms. Song, I still want to ask about Mrs. Zhao." Xiao Fan asked.
"Sister Pan'er and I grew up together..."
"Madam, we have to go back quickly. If we go past the time, we will be punished by General Le Ying!" At this time, Yin Ping came to urge him.
"Okay, then you go back first."
After bidding farewell to Song Yinzhang, Xiao Fan found the trio of strict hemps waiting for him not far away.
So Xiao Fan walked over and asked, "What are you three doing? Why don't you go back? Are you afraid of being punished by your wife if you are late?"
He Zhenwei said: "It's a small thing for us to be punished, but it's a big thing for the three of us to watch Brother Xiao and not make mistakes!"
"Where do you start talking about this?" Xiao Fan wondered.
"Brother Xiao, you have to know that you are a married man," Chai Zongliang said sadly when he saw Xiao Fan's denial, "Although everyone in Song Dynasty is nice, you said before that Mrs. Sister-in-law is angry. Don't provoke other people at this time."
A woman!"
"You have misunderstood, I have nothing to do with Madam Song!"
"It's okay if it's not, hahaha"
After the misunderstanding was resolved, I saw that several people still showed no intention of leaving, so I asked them if they had anything else to do.
Then Ning Liheng said: "It's like this, weren't the three of us friends before? Together we nicknamed Qiantang San Shao!"
"Haha, just you? The third young master of Qiantang? I think it's the third young master of Qiantang (shao), right?" Xiao Fan laughed.
