Chapter 51 Doulu (Part 2)

Amidst awesome marvels, the boats around gradually dispersed. County Magistrate Hou went in to arrange a banquet, County Magistrate Lu went down to change his clothes, and Yao's eldest son finally saw the light of day again.

Ten days later, Chen Mo and Shen Jing finally saw their eldest son. The two ran over excitedly, holding his arm on one side, and whispered in unison: "Are you okay?"

The ragged eldest son had heard about how much time they had spent to save him, and he couldn't help but turn red and said, "It's okay..." After silently looking at him up and down, he saw that he had lost a lot of weight and had some bruises on his face, but he was still in good spirits and seemed to be injured.

But to be on the safe side, he decided to take his eldest son to see a doctor immediately to check if there were any hidden dangers. But when he said goodbye, County Magistrate Li whispered: "Let Ma Dianshi and your companion send him there, stay and accompany me."

Chen Si had no choice but to follow and told Chen Jing to be careful. If it was fine, he would send his eldest son home earlier. He said to the eldest son: "This is not a place to talk. I will look for you when I go back."

The eldest son smiled hard and said, "Don't worry, I'm just hungry, just go back and eat something." Then he followed Ma Dianshi and Shen Jing to leave the pleasure boat and boarded the Clippers.

When Chen Si returned from the side of the boat, County Magistrate Li was still standing on the deck, County Magistrate Hou came out from inside to invite him to the seat.

County Magistrate Li nodded and said, "Chen Si, let's go in." Chen Si followed obediently, and then heard the county Magistrate whisper: "The martial ones are not good at writing, this is their usual trick." Chen Si nodded, and then continued, "I have been experiencing all the bird energy of the last few days, and I will help me suppress them later!"

After saying that, he stopped and entered the boat again with silence. As soon as he entered, he saw a larger round table. After silence carefully, he found that it was the sandalwood table with a countertop and a dark green velvet tablecloth.

There are eight plates of meat and vegetables on the table, and there is a portion of precious fruits and pastries and snacks in front of each seat. Needless to say, the cups, plates, tableware and other dishes are arranged neatly and well in place.

At this time, County Magistrate Lu, who had changed into a chestnut gown, also appeared in front of the seat. After the two county magistrates made false concessions, County Magistrate Li sat on the upper seat, and County Magistrate Lu became the main seat. County Magistrate Hou sat on the seat who was closest to the door and arranged silence in the guest seat opposite to County Magistrate Li.

The two hosts and guests sit in a row, and the venerable person faces the door, while the humble person is behind the door, which is convenient for the guests and strictly observe the venerable person. It is really a trouble for his grandmother.

Then a maid gave dishes, delicacies, and all kinds of meat and vegetables. It seemed that she could get the order. The maid put some tempting dishes in front of Shen Mo, obviously trying to see the ugly appearance of this poor boy salivating.

But what disappointed Magistrate Lu was that his silent appearance was always dignified and looked straight, as if a natural noble son was already accustomed to any gizzard and had no intention at all.

'It must be pretending!' County Magistrate Lu said to himself: 'It's been over yet. I'm still hungry and swallowing secretly. As long as I start eating, this kid will definitely eat voraciously and expose the filling.' Then he smiled and said, "It's getting late, and you're all hungry. Let's eat some food and snacks first before drinking."

"Good." County Magistrate Li nodded and smiled, while the other two had no right to express their opinions.

The few people started to have their own meals. County Magistrate Li was very worried about making a fool of himself in silence. Seeing his slow hand-held bowl, he saw that this demeanor could not be developed overnight, so he felt relieved.

Seeing that Chen Mo was obviously very hungry, but was still so gentle in the meal, Magistrate Lv couldn't help but feel very disappointed. He ate a few bites of the food and said in secret: "I can't teach you how to eat!" Then he raised his glass with a smile and toasted County Magistrate Li. Chen Mo and County Magistrate Hou had to raise their glasses to accompany him.

He politely served three times in a row and drank three times on the table. It was said that it was time to stop the cup and eat the food. County Magistrate Lu laughed and said, "The worst of all of you here is also a child..." The two county magistrates were from Jinshi, and County Magistrate Hou was also a scholar. Only Chen Si was a little child. Don't you point to the monk and scold the bald man, saying that he is the worst one?

Silence was secretly angry, but he did not show it on his face. He only heard the county magistrate Lu continue, "After all of them are literati. Why don't we make a drink order? If we eat food, we will not be punished for wine. What do you think?"

"This method is very good." County Magistrate Li also laughed and said, "Brother, you might as well issue an order." This kind of game is his favorite, and he is not worried about silence. With that kid's urgent wisdom, he is definitely a master.

After pondering slightly, County Magistrate Lu smiled and said, "It's not too difficult to take care of the children. Why not just say 'Four-character and eight sentences', each person gives a question, and start with the old brother." The so-called four-character and eight sentences, as the name suggests, means saying four long and short sentences in a row. There is no need to say the rhymes of the trajectory, but it must conform to the proposition of the questioner.

County Magistrate Li praised his goodness. After pondering a little, he twisted his beard and smiled: "My question is unclear, it is obvious, easy, and rare." According to the rules, the questioner must continue to answer one of his own questions, and only heard County Magistrate Li smiled: "Snow is in the sky, it is unclear; it falls to the ground, it is clear; the snow turns into water, it is easy; the water turns into snow, it is rare."

Everyone claimed good, so County Magistrate Li picked up a chopstick of vinegar fish into the small plate and smiled and said, "The next brother Lu Xian."

After all, the magistrate of County Lu was born as a Jinshi, so he would not be stumped. He pinched his beard and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Ink is unclear in the night; when writing words, it is clear; when ink becomes words, it is easy; when ink becomes words, it is rare; when the words become ink, it is rare." As he said, he also picked up a chopstick and said, "Who are you two?"

County Magistrate Hou rushed to say, "I'll do it!" He was afraid that the sentence he had finally thought of was silenced and said in a hurry: "The altar is unknown in the kiln, and it is obvious to take it out. It is easy to fit a large altar in small, and it is rare to fit a small altar in large."

County Magistrate Lu smiled for a moment, then turned his eyes to silence and said, "You are the only one left."
