Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 140 Enemies meet on a narrow road!

After coming out of the Imperial College, everyone got on the carriage, headed eastward to the end, and then headed north.

Su Yun looked out of the car window at the streets. Every street was brightly lit tonight and filled with people. The carriage had difficulty moving, even slower than people.

Su Yun smiled and said, "Wherever we go, if it's close, it might be faster to walk there."

Wen Huanghua smiled and said, "It's too far to walk there. I have reserved a table at Fanlou tonight."

Fanlou is located in the northeast corner of Bianjing City. It is indeed quite far from the Imperial College. If you walk there, it will be very tiring.

Su Yun was a little surprised and asked with a smile, "Can we still book a table at Fanlou tonight?"

Fanlou is the undisputed number one restaurant in Bianjing. There is always a long queue at ordinary times, not to mention such an important festival as the Lantern Festival. It can be said that being able to book a table there is a symbol of status.

Wen Huanghua laughed and said, "Juzheng, how much do you look down on me? Although my father is not in Bianjing City, he is at least an important official who was appointed as prime minister twice. If even I can't reserve a seat, how many people in Bianjing City can reserve one?"

Wen Huanghua's words were a bit arrogant, but they were just the truth.

Wen Yanbo was appointed prime minister once in the eighth year of the Qingli period, and again in the second year of the He period. He served through the reigns of Emperor Renzong and Emperor Yingzong, and up to the present day, he is considered a veteran of three dynasties and one of the most senior court officials today.

His contemporaries such as Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu have all passed away, and only Fu Bi can compete with him.

Although the road is long, you will reach your destination if you keep walking.

Although there were many people on the road and the carriage was moving very slowly, as long as it was on the road, it would reach its destination.

Wen Huanghua and the others were not in a hurry, because they had probably anticipated this situation, so they came out quite early and walked slowly, because tonight would be a long night anyway.

At this point, Su Yun was looking forward to tonight's party. In recent days, he had been concentrating on writing books and had lost his appetite. He actually missed good wine and good food.

After working hard for a long time, being able to come out and relax is something worth looking forward to.

He had wanted to go to Fanlou for a long time. He had known the name of Fanlou since his previous life. When he came to Bian Jing to pick up Su Shi, time was tight and there were many things to arrange, so he did not go.

This time I came here first to write a book, then to make some egg-filled pancakes, and recently I have been obsessed with the Buddhist scriptures. I have been in Beijing for two or three months, but I haven't left yet. It's a pity.

It’s also good that Wen Huanghua and others came to invite me tonight.

Before the carriage reached Fanlou, Su Yun saw the tall building standing in the night sky from afar from the carriage window.

A magnificent building, standing to the west and east of the imperial city.

Although Fancheng is not as big as the Imperial City, it is not short. The key point is that from a distance, one can only see the city walls of the Imperial City, while Fancheng shows its entire huge body.

Among all the lights in the city, Fanlou is still the brightest one. There are countless lanterns hanging all over the building, making the whole building look magnificent.

The road in front of Fanlou was blocked by the endless stream of horse-drawn carriages, and one could only move forward slowly. From a long distance away, the noise coming from inside Fanlou could be faintly heard.

The sound of music, cheers and applause came one after another, and it sounded like a concert was going on inside.

This is actually true.

Su Yun followed Wen Huanghua into Fanlou. In front of the central building was a courtyard surrounded by four large satellite buildings. A high platform was built in the courtyard where the singing girls from Fanlou were performing.

Su Yun took a look and found that the guests could watch the show from the left and right wings as well as the front building. The second floor of the front building had the best location, followed by the first and third floors of the front building, the second floors of the left and right wings were next, and the first and third floors of the left and right wings were the worst.

Wen Huanghua led his men directly to the second floor of the front building.

Su Yun was a little surprised and said with a smile: "You can even reserve this seat. It seems that you are quite skilled."

Wen Huanghua smiled and said, "It's nothing. If it were any other festival, it wouldn't be our turn. We could only go to the first or third floor at most.

But tonight the emperor brought all the officials to have fun with the people, and all the important officials in the capital went there. Tonight’s Fanlou is the Fanlou of the yamen!

So, tonight, we have to have fun, have fun to our heart's content, tonight, we have to get drunk!"

The young men all started howling like ghosts. Even the most steady Yang Bing started banging on the fence with his fan.

Su Yun also laughed when he saw this.

He suddenly remembered a line of poetry: I want to buy some osmanthus flowers and put them in the wine, but it doesn’t feel like the travels of my youth.

He was past that age, but when he saw the appearance of Wen Huanghua and the others, a surge of youthful spirit arose in him.

But he immediately laughed at himself, saying that his youthful spirit was probably like Su Shi's old man's youthful passion, and he could not compare with real young people like Wen Huanghua.

Just as Su Yun was daydreaming, someone suddenly sneered and said, "Ghosts howling, I didn't pay attention just now, I thought I was in the Three Gorges?"

Wen Huanghua and the others looked over in confusion, only to see a group of young men staring at them, with a wretched young man at the head.

It is naturally impossible for Wen Huanghua to book the second floor, as there are more than ten tables of guests inside.

One of the young men chuckled and said, "Brother Wang, why is that? We are clearly in Fanlou, Tokyo. How come you feel like we are in the Three Gorges?"

This wretched prince laughed and said, "The monkeys on both sides of the river are crying non-stop, and the boat has passed through thousands of mountains. Don't you have the same feeling?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Su Yun looked up, and what a coincidence, that Brother Wang was none other than Wang Dai, the grandson of Wang Gui. He Changsheng was also looking at them with a sneer.

After Su Yun scared them off last time, these people didn't come to harass him for the next two months, and he had two months of peace.

He turned around and looked at Wen Huanghua and the others, only to see that they all looked angry, but also somewhat... afraid?
Su Yun immediately thought of what Wen Huanghua and others had said when they lured him into the team when he first came to the Imperial College. Well, [Ju Zheng, we have heard of your reputation for a long time. We have been looking forward to your coming. We are about to be bullied to death by those bastards! ]

So, Wang Dai and He Changsheng are [those bastards]?
Su Yun smiled secretly and shook his head. Wang Gui, Li Ding and He Zhengchen were just too rampant. They had driven other people's fathers out of the court, and now they were forcing their children and grandchildren to do the same. What was the point?
No wonder when Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and others came to power, they would be ruthless to you, the new party. Yang Bing and others looked at Wen Huanghua. They always took Wen Huanghua as their leader. At this time, they also hoped that Wen Huanghua could make a decision. At this moment, should he fight with Wang Dai and others, or retreat?
At this time, Wen Huanghua looked directly at Su Yun and asked, "Ju Zheng?"

Su Yun: “Hmm?”

Wen Huanghua whispered: "What should we do now?"

Su Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "How did you deal with it in the past?"

Wen Huanghua whispered, "In the past, sometimes we fought with words, and sometimes with fists."

Su Yun said: "How about a literary fight, or a physical fight?"

Yang Bing came over and said, "A literary duel is when everyone competes in poetry first, and a martial arts duel is when one party is not convinced after competing in poetry, then they switch to martial arts."

Su Yun nodded and said, "Then why don't we just follow the process? There's no need to hesitate."

Yang Biao smiled bitterly and said, "There are too many of them today."

Su Yun turned his head and looked over there. Three or four tables of young people stood up and looked at them unfriendly. A rough count showed that there were at least forty or fifty people.

On our side, there are only a little over twenty people at most, which is twice the number.

Su Yun nodded and said, "If we can't win in a physical fight, then we can just lose in a literary fight. If we lose in a literary fight, we will admit defeat and leave."

Wen Huanghua gritted his teeth and said, "That won't work. I have to win either the literary or physical fight."

Yang Bing immediately said, "Ju Zheng, help us win the literary duel. If we win, you will leave immediately."

Su Yun asked curiously, "Did you win or lose in literary duels before?"

Yang Bing chuckled and said, "Most of them lose."

Su Yun frowned and said, "So he often wins in martial arts fights?"

Wen Huanghua smiled bitterly and said, "We can't win that either. They have too many lackeys."

Su Yun nodded and said, "Since they won the verbal duel, they shouldn't fight you with physical weapons, right?"

Yang Bing laughed and said, "Since we lost the literary fight, we have to try the physical fight."

Su Yun said: "They are numerous."

Yang Bing snorted and said, "It's nothing more than a beating. You can lose the fight but not the battle. Losing in a fight of words can be forgiven, and losing in a fight of arms can also be forgiven. But if you don't even dare to fight, how can we explain to our parents when we go back?"

Ok?
Su Yun immediately looked at these pampered young men with a new respect.

It's quite interesting.

Wen Huanghua said with a smile: "Juzheng, normally without you, we would lose the literary duel, but with you here today, we will at least win the literary duel. Hehe, it all depends on you."

Yang Bing bared his teeth and said, "Ju Zheng, you don't have to hold back."

Su Yun asked in surprise: "Why hold back?"

Wen Huanghua smiled and said, "If they lose the literary duel, they will hit harder in the physical fight. It's okay, we can handle it."

Su Yun took a breath and understood why Wen Huanghua had said at that time, "We are looking forward to your coming day and day. We are about to be bullied to death by those bastards!"

They will be beaten whether they win or lose. It’s really...hard for them.

While Su Yun and the others were whispering, Wang Dai and He Changsheng were also talking in private.

Wang Dai whispered, "Why is Su Yun here? Isn't it said that he lives in seclusion and devotes himself to reading the books of sages? Why is he mixed up with Wen Huanghua and the others?"

He Changsheng frowned and said, "We are not afraid even if he comes. We are well prepared. Even if Su Yun has some talent, we have been prepared for a long time. Why should we be afraid of him?"

Wang Dai shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about that. What I'm worried about is that if we get into a fight and he gets hurt, he'll sue us, and that'll be terrible."

He Changsheng said: "Then let's just tell them not to hit him."

Wang Dai shook his head and said, "Who can give in if a fight breaks out? How about we just forget about it tonight?"

He Changsheng said decisively: "Brother Buyi, these old party members have been very active recently. Prime Minister Wang presided over the reform and my father assisted. Recently, these old party members have been causing trouble every day, openly and secretly opposing the reform. If I don't beat them up, I will not be able to calm my anger."

Wang Dai recalled that his grandfather had been a little troubled recently, probably because these old party members were still unwilling to change their minds.

Naturally, my grandfather would not hit me like He Zhengchen did. After all, it was my grandfather who hit me. But if my father hit me, I would not be able to have a happy Lantern Festival if I couldn't vent my anger.

Thinking of this, Wang Dai said decisively: "Fuck! Don't give me face. I will make them lose face in a verbal fight and make them suffer in a physical fight!"

He Changsheng was overjoyed when he heard this.

This time they had been planning for a long time, and they wanted to embarrass Wen Huanghua and others in a place like Fanlou.

Before, whether they fought with words or with weapons, they were all confined to the Imperial Academy, and the shame they suffered was only within the Imperial Academy. This time, they deliberately bribed the shopkeeper of Fanlou, and found out that Wen Huanghua and others were coming tonight, and came here specifically to block them.

Moreover, he even asked people to compose poems in advance and called people to wait, just to severely humiliate Wen Huanghua and others in the fight of words and fists!

So, after preparing for so long, how could I give up just because Su Yun was there?
