Chapter four hundred and ninety first star and moon parting

"Junior brother, I was devoted to official business a few days ago, and I wanted to deal with some of the things I had at hand. Today I had time to come and stand up for you!" Fei Haomiao was not wearing official uniforms today, but only in private uniforms. However, as a parent official in a state of Yangzhou, his popularity was not set off by that official uniform. All the famous families in Yangzhou City who are either rich or noble know Fei Haomiao.

"Thank you for your care of Senior Brother. I won't say anything extra!" Cao Yi said to Fei Haomiao with a smile.

"No need to say anything, it's a big deal between the brothers and brothers, and that's all the same! And if the teacher knew that we were so ill, we would probably pick up the ruler that would not take decades to beat us!" Fei Haomiao also said with a smile.

The two brothers talked and laughed, and there were a few who had no invitations during this period, but they came to support them spontaneously because Cao Yi reserved the third to fifth floors of the entire restaurant as a VIP, so these spontaneous customers would not be rejected, and they were all arranged in the first floor lobby or the second floor.

At the staircases on the second and third floors, additional guards and "waiters" are arranged to guide guests and guards. Those who have invitations or are well-known can naturally go up. Without invitations, they have not had very high social status in Yangzhou City, so why can't they go up?

Fei Haomiao chatted with Cao Yi at the door for a while, but he didn't see him in, and was still waiting at the door. Cao Yi looked at his senior brother a little strangely, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, you are..."

"Haha, aren't you satisfied with me to welcome you? Didn't you try your best to get the four talents in Jiangnan to welcome you? Could it be that my decent Yangzhou parents official is not as good as those four little guys?" Fei Haomiao said pretending to be displeased.

"Where is it? This is the noble status of a senior brother. How can he do such a job?" Cao Yi quickly denied.

"Okay, I know what you mean. Master won't blame you. Didn't I ask for more than a dozen invitations from you before? I wrote them all for the officials I got with the Yangzhou government. If you don't know them, wouldn't you be disrespectful to others? Anyway, there are no big names who come in now. They usually arrive later. Even if I go in, I'm bored even if I sit in, so I'll just help you welcome the guests outside the door." Fei Haomiao waved his hand and stood next to Cao Yi, and he stepped aside a little younger than Cao Yi. He obviously didn't want to steal the limelight of his junior brother today.

In the following time, the four great talents of Jiangnan arrived one after another. Chen Feibai and his apprentice Gong Qizheng came first. When Cao Yi saw this elder, he naturally went forward to perform the junior greeting, and then bowed to Gong Qizheng.

"Cao Yi, I heard that you not only asked for the three words "Zuixianlou" from me, Wen Shi, Zu Wenhan, and even your senior brother have to pass the imperial treasure. What? Are you planning to hang four plaques?" After the two kings finished their salute, Chen Feibai asked first.

Originally, when Cao Yi visited him to send an invitation, he asked him to write the three words "Zuixianlou". He was quite happy at the time and thought Cao Yi wanted to

To make his characters into ink treasures and hang them on the restaurant, for Chen Feibai, although the place where he hung it is not a famous temple or a scenic spot for all time, it is also considered a restaurant that is destined to become a trend in Yangzhou City in the future, and it is not considered a humiliating his ink treasures.

Who knew that within two days of the next, he mentioned this matter to a few old friends, and originally wanted to boast about it. After all, Cao Yi's talent was very convincing in front of the older generation of literary giants, and even thought it was not an exaggeration to call him the number one talented man in Jiangnan. Therefore, the number one young man in Jiangnan asked him for calligraphy from him was actually a thing worth talking about.

Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, other old friends also said that Cao Yi had asked him for a calligraphy. This incident made Chen Feibai at that time fall into embarrassment. It was not that Cao Yi admired his calligraphy alone, but that he cast a wide net. So when he met Cao Yi this time, he naturally had to ask carefully.

"Hahaha, Mr. Chen is indeed a clever plan. I really scraped four plaques!" Cao Yi laughed and instantly knew that the other party was a little angry when he looked at him just now. It turned out that the problem was here.

Cao Yi said this and stunned Chen Feibai. He looked up at the plaque at the front door. He didn't pay attention before, and even Fei Haomiao didn't pay attention. Now he looked up and found that the three words "Zuixianlou" hanging on it were actually written by him.

"Junior brother, why didn't you say that there are some calligraphy works of Mr. Chen, Mr. Wen and the three big bosses? In this way, I will write a better version of the generation. It won't look a bit embarrassing like now." Fei Haomiao said complaining, of course, not really complaining, but a little self-deprecating.

"Haha, senior brother, don't be so humble. The teacher has told me several times. Over-humility means pride!" Cao Yi responded with a smile.

"Senior brother, you should know that when you are in a restaurant, sometimes you are afraid that others will cause trouble, or suppress them by peers, or be targeted by street hooligans. Your name as an official from Yangzhou is put at the main entrance. When others see it, he is not the most powerful person in Yangzhou. In this way, even if others want to make trouble, they will probably have to reconsider and consider themselves." Cao Yi lets go of the truth and others will understand.

Chen Fan nodded in agreement. He knew that Cao Yi was actually saying these words to him, and was afraid that he would have any thoughts about Cao Yi not making his calligraphy into a plaque and putting it at the main entrance. He smiled and said, "Okay, Cao Yi, you don't need to say anything. I am already so old, and there are still things I haven't seen, and it's the same in any position."

Cao Yi nodded to Chen Feibai's words. Some words that don't need to be said too obvious, as long as everyone understands them. It's really too obvious and will be ugly.

However, Chen Feibai just said that he could put it in any position, and then lowered his voice and asked, "Cao Yi, where are the two young men, Wen Shi and I, in which direction are they?"

Cao Yi looked at it and said that Chen Feibai, who was so old, unconsciously touched his nose and said, "Old Chen, your calligraphy is hanging in the east, while Old Wen's is hanging in the north, and the west.

The face is the ancestor.”

"Hahahaha, the east side is good, the purple air from the east comes from the east, and the east is the most respected, hahahaha..." As soon as Cao Yi finished speaking, Chen Feibai and Chen Lao had already laughed heartily.

Cao Yi smiled and agreed with Mr. Chen on the surface, but in fact he was rolling his eyes in his heart. This is not what he respects. This is too anxious because the first letters of the three names are Chen and Wen Hezu. Naturally, Chen is at the forefront, followed by Wen and Zu...

Of course, Cao Yi would not say what he said in his heart. Chen Feibai is old here, so he naturally would not always stand outside with them to welcome guests. So Cao Yi advised Mr. Chen to go to the restaurant to rest first, but Mr. Chen refused. He said he wanted to go around the restaurant to check out, but he and the other two had not seen the plaques.

However, he turned his gaze eastward and found that the entire restaurant was covered with various flags with black lines on white background and black strokes. He glanced at him with a glance and saw six kinds of calligraphy fonts.

"Cao Yi, in addition to inviting the four of us, have you also asked others to write the three words "Zuixianlou"?"

Cao Yi shook his head, then tightened his expression and said, "No, I asked four seniors to give me the ink treasures, and no one else said it."

After hearing Cao Yi's words, Chen Feibai looked at himself curiously and continued to ask: "Then Cao Yi...you are on the banner."

"Hehe, I wrote it all by myself." Cao Yi responded with a smile.

"It's all... what you wrote?" Chen Feibai asked intermittently, but was actually frightened by the side in front of him.

There are many flags hanging on each side of Zuixian Tower, so on the front, there are at least ten flags. The three numbers of "Zuixian Tower" above are written differently. Various calligraphy types of cursive seals contain different beauty.

Because Chen Feibai and Mr. Chen are also a person who is obsessed with calligraphy and fanatic, now they are all focused on different calligraphy handwritings on the banner, and directly let his disciple Gong Qi stay at the door to be responsible for the welcome guests. Who told him to lose to Cao Yi in the previous bet competition, and prehistoric said that he would accept the loss by reading.

After that, the teacher Chengxuan and his teacher Wenwei came together, Duan Xinde and his teacher Zu Wenhan and others, exactly the same as Chen Feibai's previous inquiry. After Cao Yi explained, Mr. Wen and Mr. Wen no longer cared about it.

They did not care about where their calligraphy was hung like Mr. Chen, nor did they go around the restaurant to see the flags of different calligraphy fonts like Mr. Chen. After saying hello to Cao Yi and Fei Haomiao, they went to the restaurant lounge area first, while Master Xuan and Duan Xinde were standing in front of Cao Yi with big eyes.

This welcome job really made it difficult for them, but when they saw Gong Qizheng, they seemed to have no negative feelings at all, and just stood behind Cao Yi silently.
