Datang New Giants

Chapter 50 Life is like a play, all depends on acting skills
"Brother Ziru, don't drink any more, you'll get drunk." Hu Haijing persuaded.

As the host, Wu Lin ordered a whole table of dishes, but he didn't even take the chopsticks, and drank one cup after another. Fortunately, he was drinking wine from the Western Regions, otherwise he would have been drunk by now.

With a soft "snap", Wu Lin put the wine glass heavily on the table, and said with a sullen expression: "In front of so many people, I said that I wanted Tian Shenu, surnamed Lu, to look good, and I got stuck in his past. Until he begged me, it has only been a few days since he said this, and he has really settled the matter, so where is he going to put his face on?"

Trees need bark, people need face, Wu Lin let go of his harsh words in public, and went up and down, but Lu Ting still got the pass smoothly, which made him feel very bad.

When Hu Haijing heard Wu Lin's words, he complained a little, spread out his hands and said, "Qian Dianshi has already agreed to this matter. I didn't expect that Governor Du suddenly had a whim to inspect various rooms. He accidentally saw the application on An's desk, and saw that the application date had passed. After so many days, it was still not finished, so he questioned Qian Dianshi on the spot, asking him why he was eating a vegetarian meal with his corpse. Come to the door to make an apology, so as not to chill the hearts of the folks in Suzhou, alas, that farmer's slave is lucky."

A recorder can influence Qian Dianshi, but Prefect Du directly decides his fate. Even Hu Lushi is a small role in front of Prefect Du. A person who can take the post of prefect in an upper state like Suzhou has a deep background. I heard that Prefect Du has someone in Chang'an.

Wu Lin heard the words and said a cheap Tian Shenu surnamed Lu, but he didn't dare to say harsh words.

The majestic prefect of Shangzhou had great power, and Wu Lin didn't even dare to think of revenge.

Hu Haijing is also a little embarrassed. Recently, Wu Lin eats, drinks and has fun with him every day. The money is spent like running water, but he can't handle even a small thing. When his eyes fell on a handsome young man riding a white horse, he was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe his eyes, wiped his eyes, saw a little more clearly, and said with some surprise: "It's strange, Tian Shenu surnamed Lu recently What kind of luck did you get such a handsome white horse?"

Lu Ting?

It turned out that Wu Lin was quite drunk when he heard the words, so he hurriedly went to the window to have a look. He saw Lu Ting riding a magnificent white horse, walking slowly and leisurely. The handsome young man and the tall horse attracted many little The lady pointed at him, and some bold brothel girls threw incense towels at Lu Ting directly.

"A farmer's slave is a farmer's slave, and a bad horse is pretending to be a dog." Wu Lin said sourly.

Wu Lin was short in stature and unattractive, even if he rode the same horse, he was not as eye-catching as Lu Ting.

Lu Ting rode on horseback, greeting people around him from time to time, with a faint feeling of exhalation and eyebrow raising.

In ancient times, having a fine horse was equivalent to having a famous supercar in later generations. It is normal to attract people's attention. Many young men are proud of owning a good horse. Su Dongpo, who was famous in the Song Dynasty, was demoted from office when he was exiled. A young man took a fancy to his personal maid, Wan Niang, and offered to exchange a white horse for Su Dongpo's beautiful maid. Su Dongpo readily agreed, but Wan Niang committed suicide on the spot, unwilling to trade herself like an animal. As a result, Su Dongpo didn't get the white horse he liked, but he also saw it. The ancient people's love for a good horse.

Lu Ting found that after riding this horse, the attitude of some people who usually treat him badly has changed significantly.

Accidentally seeing Wu Lin and Hu Haijing in Zuixinglou, Lu Ting's eyes lit up, and he greeted warmly: "Brother Wu Lin, Young Master Hu, you are here too, what a coincidence."

After finishing speaking, ignoring the reactions of the two, Lu Ting got off his horse, handed the reins to Fu Zhi who was at the side, and turned to enter Zuixing Tower.

"Lu Ting, a farm slave, must have come to make fun of me. It's hateful." Wu Lin said dissatisfiedly as he punched the window frame.

Hu Haijing lightly patted Wu Lin's shoulder to comfort him: "Brother Ziru, don't worry, Tian Shenu surnamed Lu is just lucky for a while, not always. , as long as his household registration is still in Suzhou, it will only be a matter of time before he is cured."

When Wu Lin heard it, he agreed, no matter in terms of wealth or connections, he was better than Lu Ting, and sooner or later he had to be cured until he obeyed and feared him.

While the two were talking, Lu Ting went upstairs. As soon as he saw Wu Lin, he immediately walked over with a smile, held Wu Lin's hand tightly with both hands, and said gratefully: "Brother Wu Lin, you used to be young and indifferent. How offended you are, I didn't expect you to repay your grievances with kindness, so you don't say anything, and we need to move more in the future."

Wait, what do you mean by that?
Wu Lin was a little dumbfounded. Didn't Lu Ting come to laugh at him? After all, he let go of harsh words in public, and Lu Ting didn't think about it without nodding.It's not that I'm so happy.

Hu Haijing was also a little puzzled, and pretended to be calm and said: "Listen to Mr. Lu, have you succeeded?"

"I got it." Lu Ting was not annoyed when Wu Lin pulled his hands away, and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Wu Lin must have taught me to be arrogant, and then he took into account our acquaintance for more than ten years, so he let it go. Today is a special day to thank you.”

Wu Lin and Hu Haijing looked at each other, and exchanged a look of surprise. Lu Ting, a farm slave, didn't know that his past was discovered by the eunuch during his patrol, and ordered to supervise it?That's right, Lu Ting is a white man, how can he know about the affairs of the government office, besides, the small officials in the house are all over the top, and they will definitely not tell Lu Ting about being reprimanded, so Lu Ting thought that he would let him go horse?
let him go?If he saw Lu Ting fall down on the street, Wu Lin would like to step forward to mend his feet.

Thinking about it, Wu Lin pretended to be generous and said: "I have talked about our friendship for more than ten years, and I can't be really cruel if I get angry occasionally. Brother Lu Ting, I haven't seen you for a few days, and the whole person is different."

"Is there? Nothing has changed."

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills, this Wu Lin really knows how to hit a snake with a stick, shows off a little bit, and immediately recognizes the "credit", especially when it comes to the friendship of more than ten years, that kind of sincerity, Not knowing the inside story can really fool him, that Hu Haijing is not a good guy, he is a bit arrogant in front, and after a few days of eating, drinking and having fun with Wu Lin, he is wearing a pair of pants.

Why don't you just act, who wouldn't, there was an imperceptible sneer on the corner of Lu Ting's mouth.

Hu Haijing said hahaha: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Mr. Lu has obviously become more energetic, and he is already riding a tall horse."

"That's right, tell me, where did this horse come from? It didn't really climb up. No, is it true that you are on good terms with the Wang family?" Wu Lin hurriedly asked.

Lu Ting waved his hands again and again and said: "If there is such a good thing, the prefect of Suzhou will rush to give gifts. How can I make such a fuss about a small incident, and I don't know who will chew my tongue and ruin my reputation, but it's good. Many people smiled at me and invited me to eat and drink, which is not a bad thing after thinking about it, so they didn’t bother to clarify.”

It turned out to be true, Wu Lin secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly felt aggrieved. This farmer was willing to pretend, no wonder he didn't refute the rumors. He wanted to fake the prestige of the tiger. After hearing the words, he asked again: "But that horse."

"Hey, there is no unparalleled road." Lu Ting said excitedly: "I accidentally found a treasure cave in the old house, and there are dozens of taels of gold secretly stored by Aye. It’s a lot more generous, anyway, if you want to go out and travel, you might as well buy a horse, not to mention, riding this horse will give you a different feeling.”

Hu Haijing patted Lu Ting's shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing, brother Lu Ting, this must be celebrated."

"Yes, good things must be celebrated, brother Lu Ting won't be petty, right?" Wu Lin understood and immediately agreed.

Antiques in prosperous times and gold in troubled times, there were no banks in ancient times, and most of the people’s money was hidden in their homes. It is not uncommon for later generations to find gold, silver and jewelry when renovating and building houses. The Lu family used to be a wealthy family in Suzhou. I'm used to Lu Ting being so high-profile, so it's good to find a chance to let him bleed a little.

"How can it be, but both of you have already drunk, so we can only choose another day." Lu Ting said with some regret.

"It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day." Wu Lin immediately said: "The food is cold, and the wine is not good. We removed it and replaced it with a new one. It happened that Mr. Hu was there. The three of us sang wine together. It is simply a great joy in life." .”

It's rare that Lu Ting is willing to treat guests, who knows when he will change his mind, besides, Lu Ting may leave Suzhou at any time after he has gone through the process. , If you catch a fat sheep, you will use a ruthless knife, Wu Lin will not let it go easily, and immediately persuaded him.

"One day I had some misunderstandings with Brother Lu Ting. Could it be that Brother Lu Ting still has a grudge? If so, I will leave first." After Hu Haijing finished speaking, he pretended to be unhappy and was about to leave.

The post of military recorder is special, and most of those who hold this position have to lead by example. In the final analysis, he is an upright official who can only receive a salary, and even a little filial piety is a drop in the bucket. The reason why he is keen to get along with Wu Lin is that he can eat, drink and have fun, take advantage of it, and give Wu Lin face, why not do it, Wu Lin doesn't need to wink, and immediately sings the double reed.

When Lu Ting heard this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and his smile became wider. He quickly grabbed Hu Haijing: "Young Master Hu, please stop, how can you? I'm afraid you won't be able to invite a distinguished guest like you. It's rare to get together, so we must drink One is not drunk and has no return."

After finishing speaking, he yelled loudly: "Man, take all these away, let the four cool and four heat first, and serve the selected ones, as well as the wine, the ones from the last ten years, that is, the kind of three bottles in one bottle, hurry up. "

　Happy holidays, please collect, recommend, and reward by the way.
