Hong Kong Variety Show: I choose Liang Kun, he has a big temper

Chapter 471: Taiguo's economy declines, Chen Wen returns victorious

The eldest son is still young, he is only eight years old this year, but Lou Daguang has reached the age of marriage, so it is inevitable that some things at home will be missed, so Lou Daguang was asked to bring some things along, so that he can see the world and assist the eight-year-old eldest son in the future.

Lou Daguang's real name was not Daguang. His father gave him a good name, Lou Wan'an. However, Wan'an naturally conflicted with the words "Long live the emperor". Fortunately, someone reminded him that he was spared from the disaster. Later, he changed his name to Daguang.

It means that he has great and bright intentions, but in fact, Lou Daguang is also a prodigal son. He usually bullies the weak in the Lou family by relying on his age and experience. The second concubine also got some benefits from her son and was rude and unreasonable to the first wife.

The two of them, however, knew how to save face. They lowered their heads and behaved obediently in front of Lord Lou. They were well-known in the Gusu area for being two-faced.

Lou Daguang from the ordinary family relied on his father being the president of the Chamber of Commerce and his relationship with the other party, so others were respectful to him. Now he was getting more and more rampant. Yan Er usually didn't associate with him and didn't want to associate with him, but the eldest master of the Liu family was the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, so it was inevitable that he had some social interactions with him, and they got to know each other after a while.

They are of similar age and have talked several times, but neither of them liked the other and parted unhappily. Today, Lou Daguang held a banquet to celebrate his birthday, and the people on the list were all bad friends, and there was no one like Liu Yaner.

However, his father was in a hurry to come back, so of course there was something going on. After the eldest master came back, he waited for the old lady to come back and meet her, and then he left the house and went back to Yan'er's study.

Yan'er waited there for a long time. The servant outside the window, after seeing the master coming, immediately came in again to report.

"Master, the master is coming, hurry up and get ready."

After hearing this, Yan Er immediately lowered his head and took out the calligraphy he had copied before. This calligraphy was spread out in a dark corner, and it was a little wet. When he picked it up, the ink inside had not yet dried. This set of regular script had been written for a long time, and now it looked much more handsome. Next to it, there was also Zhongyong with a few pages opened.

When the master came over, all the trusted servants saw him and immediately stepped forward to support him.

"Master, the young master is reviewing his books inside. He also said that even though the master is not at home, it is necessary to review his books every day, otherwise the master's efforts would be in vain."

The master snorted and glared at Quan'er.

"Come on, my son, I know what it is. Your young master, just don't cause me trouble. Be a good boy. I don't expect him to pass the imperial examination. There is no such thing as smoke on the graves of the Liu family. I can't wait for that day. You don't have to be so slick and try to please me. If your master follows you, he will become a smooth talker. He deserves to be beaten."

After hearing this, Quan'er immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Master, I don't dare anymore. Master taught me a lesson."

Seeing his cowardly look, the master waved his robe.

"Come on, come on, today is a happy day, get up, and don't do it again."

Quan'er got up immediately, ran forward and lifted the curtain. After the master went in, he looked around. Sunlight was pouring in from under the windowsill. Seeing Yan'er there, copying a calligraphy work and reading a book, he felt a little comforted.

When Yan Er saw the master coming in, he immediately stepped forward, bowed with both hands and said.

"Father."

The master nodded, said nothing, and walked over to his desk, looking at the calligraphy he was copying. He picked it up and held it in the sun to see if it was still wet, so he thought it was just written. The master also saw that he had worked hard, and this time his writing was a little handsome, but not strong enough.

The master not only shook his head, but Yan'er, who was standing next to him, looked at his expression and immediately lowered his head, becoming more respectful. The master looked at him for a long time before he spoke.

"The handwriting is not bad, but it is delicate and elegant, with the style of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Wei Nan, but it is not brave enough. It is true that a man cannot be brave in this world, but he cannot be like you."

"Your handwriting is like a trickle of water, flowing and elegant, which is good, but in the business world, I'm afraid that elegant people won't survive for more than three days. The handwriting is like the person. You need to practice your handwriting. Come on."

The master's personal butler followed behind him. The master usually called him Wangcai, and the young men and women around called him Uncle Wang.

Uncle Wang stepped forward and bent down, the master said.

"Go to my room and bring him the calligraphy of senior Liu Zongyuan. What kind of calligraphy did he practice on weekdays? He should practice the general style of Liu Zongyuan and cultivate his character."

After reading the words, he turned his head, glanced at the flipping Zhongyong, stroked his beard and nodded.

Although the master thought that Liu Yan'er was an incompetent person, he still had some hope in his heart, so he asked him to read the Four Books and Five Classics, hoping that he could gain fame and fortune.

No matter it is possible or not, I want to give it a try and I won’t give up until I reach the Yellow River.

Si'er, who was standing behind, had an insightful look at his master suffering, and immediately stepped forward with a cup of tea.

"Master, this is the snow water that fell from the plum blossoms when the young master went to Wan'an Temple to spend the night in the spring of the year before last. It was buried underground. Just after a year, it was taken out. It is the most delicious in the midsummer, and it is used to soak the West Lake Longjing tea. I filled a cup. Today, the leaves have just fallen, and the dregs have been removed. The young master also specially asked me to keep these precious things, for fear that the master and his wife would come, so they are always prepared. Today, the master came and happened to see them. Master, please try some?"

Si'er moved Liu Yan'er next to him, and Liu Yan'er immediately stepped forward, picked up the teacup and placed it in front of his father.

"Father, this is really good tea. I haven't touched it yet. I hope you can drink the first sip and let me try the rest."

His father was somewhat surprised to hear this. The Liu family was not a wealthy family built on money. His family had been rich for two generations, and since his grandfather's generation, they were wealthy. Their daily habits and character were not comparable to those of ordinary wealthy families.

The Liu family has countless properties and a fortune, so naturally they have good taste.

The master picked up the cup and sniffed it. It was really good tea. Even after many days, the fragrance of the tea still penetrated into his nose. With the snow water on the plum blossoms, it was even more refreshing and sweet. After drinking a sip of the snow water, the summer heat was gone. The master was happy and naturally everything was easy to talk about. Seeing the master's brows relaxed, Liu Yaner felt relieved.

The master took two sips, pushed the teacup away and said.
