Datang New Giants

Chapter 144
Lu Ting said generously: "These cakes are served for people to eat. If the guests eat a lot, it seems that the host's hospitality is good. Mr. Fang, do you think these cakes are not delicious?"

"Very good, not bad." Fang Shiqiang hesitated for a moment, but still affirmed.

It can't be said that the dim sum is not good. The implication is that the hospitality is not good. Isn't this a slap in the face of the organizer?
This farmer's slave didn't follow the rules in speaking and doing things, and he satirized him in public. He didn't feel embarrassed at all, and he was faintly justified.

Lu Ting asked curiously: "I wonder how much Mr. Fang ate?"

"Two yuan." Fang Shiqiang answered truthfully.

"Didn't Mr. Fang just say that the dim sum prepared by the organizer is delicious? Why only eat two yuan? Is it a polite way to say that it is delicious?"

Fang Shiqiang was a little impatient, but with so many people watching, he had to maintain his demeanor, and said kindly after hearing the words: "Good things, just taste it, there are many people who will participate in the activities later, and leave some for them." , share the same taste."

These words were generous and decent, and many people secretly applauded when they heard the words, even Fang Shiqiang showed an imperceptible smile on his lips.

Express satisfaction with your resilience.

Lu Ting turned his head and said to the waiter at the side: "Did you hear that, Mr. Fang said that the dim sum is good, and he dare not eat it after eating two yuan. You have to save some for the people behind. If you have any more, come more, so that Mr. Fang will not go back. When I yelled, I also said that your organizer is petty and the hospitality is not good."

The waiter was a little stunned, but he quickly responded: "Young master, wait a moment, the younger one will get it right away."

Fang Shiqiang stared at Lu Ting dumbfounded, recovered after a while, and quickly explained: "Mr. Lu, what are you doing? I only said to leave more for the people behind. I didn't say that there is not enough snacks, and not everyone likes you. Mr. Lu is so edible."

It's too bad, intentionally distorted my words, spread out that people thought he was satirizing the organizer's poor hospitality, Fang Shiqiang didn't want Lu Ting to smear himself, he calmly dispelled it, and took the opportunity to ridicule Lu Ting.

I thought everyone was like you, when I saw delicious food, I ate it like a starved ghost reincarnated.

Lu Ting nodded and said: "I'm quite frank, I eat more when it's delicious, but I feel wronged Mr. Fang, I obviously think it's delicious, but I'm afraid others will say that I can eat too much, understand, understand."

Fang Shiqiang's face darkened, and he looked at Lu Ting with some unkind eyes.

This farm slave has been digging holes for himself, first of all, he said that he is frank, that he wants to eat but is embarrassed to eat, isn't he just trying to ridicule his hypocrisy.

"I'm not hungry, so I eat less. If Mr. Lu is hungry, please feel free." Fang Shiqiang said with a "sincere" face.

Lu Ting obviously always wanted to trick and irritate himself. Fang Shiqiang was wary of Lu Ting and would not be easily fooled.

The one surnamed Lu is shameless, but he still wants it.

"Yo, that Mr. Fang was wronged, I'm not polite." While speaking, Lu Ting threw another piece of red bean cake into his mouth in front of Fang Shiqiang.

Fang Shiqiang's face twitched, pretending not to see it.

This guy has sharp teeth and a thick skin, so it's not worth arguing with him.

"Mr. Lu, the snacks are here, please enjoy them slowly." At this time, the waiter who brought the snacks came back, and behind him were a few maidservants carrying trays of dim sum.

So much money has been thrown down, snacks are nothing, there are only a handful of people who can go to the sixth floor, as many as they want.

Lu Ting pointed to Fang Shiqiang who was about to leave and said, "Send it to Mr. Fang. Just now Mr. Fang thought that the snacks were not enough, so he didn't dare to eat more even though he knew it was delicious."

There is no end, this guy is a dog?Catch a person and bite to death.

As if he had no temper, Fang Shiqiang turned around, took a look at Lu Ting, and said in a sympathetic tone: "Mr. Lu, there is a truth that you may not understand. No matter how delicious something is, eating too much will make you tired." At that time, these pastries may be new to Mr. Lu, but to me, there is no shortage of them on weekdays."

Speaking of this, Fang Shiqiang sighed, and continued: "Mr. Lu, I have some sympathy for you. You have some knowledge, and you are also aware of current affairs. It is a pity that you were born in a poor family, with little knowledge and vision. Otherwise, you will be more than one. A little master with no grades."

Seeing Lu Ting's stunned look, Fang Shiqiang quickly added: "Lu Ting, Lu Ting, the word "court" means that your father's wish is that Mr. Lu can have a court. Now Mr. Lu is the director of Wuyitang. , I believe that this hope will not be difficult to realize.”

How dare a poor boy fight against himself without weighing how much he weighs?
It's simply overreaching, Lu Ting has been playing against him, so many people are watching, and now he fights back, I believe no one will say anything wrong with him.

He also asked the eldest grandson to show them what he could get by choosing a farmer who was such an excellent man.

For some reason, Fang Shiqiang felt an inexplicable sense of humiliation at the thought of losing to a field slave, and felt an urge to trample him on the ground.

Lu Ting was a little surprised. No matter how teased he was, Fang Shiqiang would not be fooled, and he had no hope. He didn't expect him to stop hiding all of a sudden, not only mocking his own actions, but even his own name became the butt of his jokes.

If the sky does evil, it is still forgiven; if you do evil yourself, you cannot live.

This guy doesn't know how happy his name is.

Lu Ting coughed dryly, raised his voice eight degrees, and said seriously: "There is an old saying that goes well, a dog does not dislike a poor family, a son does not dislike an ugly mother, and the body, hair and skin are all given to Ye Niang. I'm from a poor family, but Ye Niang has already given me the best, I don't think I have any regrets about being born in a poor family."

When he was speaking, Lu Ting's face was serious and his tone was very sincere. There were also children from poor families at the scene. Hearing the words, he felt the same feeling. Those wealthy children who looked down on Lu Ting also looked at Lu Ting a little more admire.

Even those judges had a look of approval in their eyes.

The commotion here is so loud, it's hard for them not to pay attention.

Lu Ting didn't wait for Fang Shiqiang to speak, and quickly said: "The name represents the hope of the elders, Mr. Fang's words are very reasonable. For me, I am satisfied with a family in this world, but Mr. Fang, when it comes to sympathy, I really sympathize with you."

"Pity me?" Fang Shiqiang asked in surprise.

What do you mean, a poor peasant, pity yourself?

Lu Ting looked Fang Shiqiang up and down, and asked with some doubts: "Does Mr. Fang have a hidden disease?"

"Hidden disease? What do you mean?"

Lu Ting clapped his hands, patted off the crumbs of the dim sum on his hands, and said solemnly: "Mr. Fang was right just now, the name carries the blessings and hopes of the elders for the younger generation, just like some people who lack water in the five elements, their names often contain The word related to water, Mr. Fang’s name is Fang Shiqiang, Fang Shi is familiar with sexual affairs, strong means good, whether there will be hidden diseases at birth, so the elders are very strict with Mr. Fang.”

With a "puchi", someone in the crowd couldn't hold back and laughed.

"Hehe, this name is indeed a bit special."

"I've wanted to say this name for a long time, but I just can't save my face. Mr. Lu dared to mention this in public, it's amazing."

"I have always regarded myself as the number one talented person in the south of the Yangtze River, and I have long disliked him."

Some people took the lead, the crowd of onlookers began to whisper, and some people made ridicules, fully revealing the nature of literati's disregard for others.

Except for a few rich and noble sons, Fang Shiqiang didn't pay attention to anyone else, which invisibly displeased many people. When they saw someone coming out, they were happy to step on them.

Fang Shiqiang was flushed with anger, and his whole body was trembling with anger. He suppressed the urge to rush up and pinch Lu Ting to death, and said seriously: "Young Master Lu is concerned, I am in good health, and there is no hidden disease. It is a surname, Shi is passed down from the ancestors of our clan to distinguish seniority, Qiang wants me to be self-reliant and self-reliant, so my name is Fang Shiqiang, and Shi is a scholar of the noble family."

Speaking of the latter, Fang Shiqiang once again emphasized that the one in the middle is a "scholar".

"Oh, so that's the case." Lu Ting nodded, but quickly said with some concern: "Mr. Fang was born in a noble family. The elders of the Fang family are all learned people. They must know the importance of names. Taking such a controversial name It's a bit puzzling, but I absolutely believe that Mr. Fang is in good health."

"By the way, I know a well-known doctor who specializes in treating difficult and miscellaneous diseases. I can recommend it to Mr. Fang sometime."

Believe in a fart, say the letter, then turn around and introduce some doctor to yourself, isn't this making fun of yourself?

Fang Shiqiang's name was given by a respectable clan elder, and many acquaintances joked about it, but no one said it so brazenly as Lu Ting.

If not for so many people watching, Fang Shiqiang would have fought with Lu Ting long ago.

No, I came to Chang'an this time to pursue fame and fortune. Fame is very important, so I can't lose face here and let's talk after I'm done with business.

It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. After the event is over, there are plenty of opportunities.

Fang Shiqiang took a deep breath, bowed his hands to Lu Ting and said, "Thank you Mr. Lu for your kindness, I really don't need it."

Seeing that Fang Shiqiang turned around and was about to leave, Lu Ting said enthusiastically, "It's a little embarrassing to talk about these issues on this occasion, okay, let's talk about it some other time."

Small sample, quite bearable, Lu Ting even saw Fang Shiqiang's right hand clenched into a fist when he retracted into his sleeve, but he didn't expect him to hold back forcefully.

The eldest Sun Chong, who was convenient to go, finally came back, put his hand on Lu Ting's shoulder, and said loudly to Fang Shiqiang, "Mr. Fang, please stay."

Fang Shiqiang wanted to leave, but when he heard Changsun Chong calling him, he hesitated for a while, and finally stopped, turned around and bowed to Changsun Chong: "I don't know what orders, Mr. Changsun, have?"

Children from poor families like Lu Ting can be ignored, but rich and noble sons like Chang Sun Chong still have to show some face, and besides, it would be rude if they didn't respond when they called him in front of so many people.

Chang Sun Chong forced a bow to Fang Shi, and said solemnly: "I want to accuse Fang Gongzi."

"Confession? What is the meaning of the eldest grandson's words?"

Could it be pleading for Lu Ting?This Lu Ting insulted him in public, even if Chang Sun Chong spoke up, he would never forgive him.

"The last time Mr. Fang was invited to drink flowers and wine, Mr. Fang said he couldn't go because of something. At that time, he thought Mr. Fang would not show face. It turned out that he was unbearable and misunderstood Mr. Fang."

There was another laugh all around.

Everyone thought that Chang Sun Chong wanted to resolve the grievances between Lu Ting and Fang Shiqiang, but they didn't expect him to stab Fang Shiqiang one more time in a serious manner.

Yu Wenying stopped in front of Fang Shiqiang, stared at Lu Ting and Chang Sun Chong, and said: "Lu Ting, Chang Sun Chong, please keep some virtue in your mouth, don't think that you just want to make my fifth brother angry by messing around, it's only the sixth level now. , there is still one pass before you can pick off the bull-headed lamp, and when the fifth younger brother takes off the bull-headed lamp, you can know whether he has the so-called hidden disease the next day."

It was Lu Ting and Fang Shiqiang who were bickering just now, their mouths were not clean, and Yu Wenying was also a respectable person, seeing that he was not involved, he didn't want to carry the excuse that someone bullied more than others, so he rarely spoke until The eldest grandson rushed to attack, and the fifth younger brother was about to cry angrily, and couldn't help standing up.

It’s still in the game, so don’t be impulsive, bickering is fine, if you get into a fight and offend a few judges, just send them out and it’s over. This is the government office, so there’s no chance to protest.

Lu Ting pretended to be surprised and said: "Is there, Mr. Yuwen doesn't know, Mr. Fang, have you really drunk flower wine?"

"I have not only drank flower wine, but also picked five girls in one night, so I am satisfied." In order to prove his innocence, Fang Shiqiang couldn't help telling his most glorious experience.

It was an accident that time. A friend said that he got a new drug from a quack doctor and invited Fang Shiqiang to try it together. Unexpectedly, he drank too much alcohol and took too much medicine. He asked for five girls in a row that night.

Although it was said that someone had to be carried out of the brothel in the end, and he had to rest for three days before he could get out of bed, but it was indeed Fang Shiqiang's most manly time.

Lu Ting said with a look of surprise: "I didn't expect Mr. Fang to pick out five girls in a row. I admire you."

When speaking, Lu Ting deliberately raised the volume, not only the people present could hear it, but also the people watching under the lamp tower could hear it clearly.

For a while, there was an uproar.

Drinking flower wine is an elegant thing, no one will laugh at it, but it is too blatant to say loudly in the public that he picked five girls in one night.

After Fang Shiqiang finished speaking, he regretted it. Hearing Lu Ting's words, his face turned red, pale, and blue for a while, and his whole body was not good.

It made Lu Ting's farm slave dizzy, and for some reason, he said it as soon as his brain got hot.

Although I did not violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, my reputation will definitely be damaged if it is spread. When people mention me, they will definitely not think of how good my talent is, but the meaning of "picking five girls at night". thing.

If it is not done well, no one dares to reuse themselves.

Damn it, a farmer named Lu still let his plot succeed.

For a moment, Fang Shiqiang felt a little bit of regret in his heart besides how to get revenge on Lu Ting. He was so good, why did he provoke this mad dog?
Yu Wenying was also taken aback. Seeing Fang Shiqiang's angry face, he was afraid that he would cause some trouble again, so he pushed and pulled Fang Shiqiang away.

Zhang Hu, a ceremonial member sitting in the judge's seat, hesitantly said to Sun Shiyong beside him: "Sun Huishou, do you want to send someone to persuade you?"

Originally it was just two young men bickering, but unexpectedly the commotion became louder and louder, and trouble was about to break out.

Sun Shiyong waved his hands and said, "Aren't you still a young man without any passion? This will be a fun fight. You will definitely try your best during the competition. I'm not afraid of them making trouble, but I'm afraid they won't make trouble."

The purpose of holding the Queqiao Lantern Festival is to expand the influence of Pingkangfang. The more lively and controversial it is, the better.

Kong Yingda frowned, and said, "It's getting late, why isn't the fifth level finished yet?"

The sixth level is a bit special, you have to wait for all the people to start the proposition, Lu Ting and the others have been arguing for so long, why is the fifth level not over yet?

"Dangdang. Dangdang" just finished speaking, and suddenly there were five crisp gongs.

This is the signal that all the assessments of the fifth level have been completed.
