You can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, and you can never defeat a shameless person.
After Fang Yan sat down, everyone's eyes were fixed on him. No one was familiar with him, and they didn't know what to say when they first met. They could only look at each other in awkward silence.
Fang Yan looked indifferent, picking up the teacup in front of him and tasting the fine Da Hong Pao carefully. Anyway, he was just a guest, an inconspicuous but important green leaf beside Ye Zi and Ye Wenrou - that was how he positioned himself in his heart.
Chen Feng is Ye Zi's pursuer and the initiator of this party. Although he doesn't like Fang Yan, he knows that since this person was brought here by Ye Zi, it is naturally because Ye Zi values him. If he has a close relationship with Ye Zi - thinking that he and Ye Zi might have a close relationship, Chen Feng has even less good feelings towards Fang Yan.
Brother-in-law? So what
How does that saying go? Isn't a sister-in-law the sweet and caring little cotton-padded jacket of her brother-in-law
However, he still did his best to show his appearance. Chen Feng looked at Fang Yan and asked with a smile, "What's your name, sir?"
"My last name is Fang." Fang Yan said with a smile.
"Oh. Mr. Fang - are you really Ye Zi's brother-in-law?"
"Yes." Fang Yan nodded with great certainty. Ye Zi's sister is Ye Wenrou, if he is not her brother-in-law, who else can be her brother-in-law
"I've heard from Ye Zi that she has a beautiful sister who is as beautiful as a fairy, but we have never had the chance to meet her. This time she said she would bring her sister to Yanjing for a visit, so we thought we could show our hospitality." Chen Feng has a square face and looks a bit serious when he is not smiling. But when he smiles, he looks kind and honest, and he doesn't look like a treacherous and sinister person. He pointed to the two young men sitting opposite him, who were also wearing long robes, and said with a smile: "Zhang Quan and Li Weiguo were thinking that they would perform well tonight, and maybe they would have a chance to win the beauty. I didn't expect that the beauty has already found a lover. It really makes people sigh."
Li Weiguo had a handsome face and looked gentle. He was drinking tea from a cup in his hand. After hearing what Chen Feng said, he pretended to be angry and retorted, "Chen Feng, what you said is biased. Zhang Quan and I are the only ones in this room who want to marry the beauty? When Ye Zi and the others were not here just now, who was clamoring to show off their skills?"
Chen Feng laughed and said, "Weren't you two the ones who screamed the loudest? Are you shocked now?"
Li Weiguo looked at Fang Yan and asked, "What does Mr. Fang do?"
Fang Yan thought for a moment and said, "I used to be a teacher-----"
"Heh-----" Li Weiguo grinned and said, "So you are a teacher. This is a good job. The future of our country is in your hands----"
Li Weiguo said "this job is good", but he did not hide his contempt in his eyes. Anyone with a little background, no matter how much they want their children to keep a low profile, will not let them work as teachers. Those without talent cannot do it, and those with talent, who would be willing to stay on the three-foot podium
Therefore, from Fang Yan's occupation, we can conclude that this guy has no background and no money----
Now that Fang Yan's identity had been categorized, everyone at the scene spoke freely and unscrupulously.
"Is this Mr. Fang's first time at Yashi?" Zhang Quan asked with a smile. It is said that fat people have many tricks. Although this fat man smiles innocently, his flashing eyes still reveal his hidden cunning.
"It's the first time." Fang Yan nodded honestly, and said to everyone present with an honored look: "If it weren't for your invitation, I wouldn't know that there is such a good place in Yanjing City-----"
"Most of the buildings of Yashi are in the style of Wei and Jin Dynasties. Although there are some changes, it does not affect the overall atmosphere here. This place is different from other clubs. No drinking, no singing, and no hostesses are hired. Everyone bathes, smells incense, and chats. There are also poetry gatherings, and some eminent monks and cultural celebrities are invited to give lectures. Of course, you have to be lucky to come across them." Chen Feng explained with a smile.
"There are exceptions." Zhang Quan said, holding a teacup. "If you are a member of Yashi, you can receive an invitation from the club in advance. Mr. Fang, do you want to apply for a membership card here? The price is not expensive, only about 300,000 yuan a year. Chen Feng and Mr. Zhong of Yashi Club are old friends. He can help you say hello and give you a discount.
Fang Yan waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness. I seldom use incense, but it's nice to feel it once in a while -"
Don't want to apply for a membership card? Of course you don't have the money.
Just feel it once in a while? That's shameless.
In gatherings like theirs, sometimes they buy spices from the club, and sometimes they bring them for their own enjoyment. Freeloaders like Fang Yan are despised.
Of course, because of the relationship between Fang Yan and Ye Zi, they would not attack Fang Yan for being poor. How could they talk about money? Talking about money would make them seem too uncultured and unclassy. However, they could attack Fang Yan for being uneducated. They wanted to conquer Fang Yan with their profound knowledge, to make him clearly realize the gap between himself and them, and to make him feel ashamed.
So, Li Weiguo suppressed his inner excitement and asked a very suicidal question: "Mr. Fang, did you also burn incense before?"
Fang Yan held the teacup and carefully looked at Li Weiguo's expression. It was as if he was thinking about something very important. After a long while, he nodded and said, "I have smoked it."
"Great." Li Weiguo applauded and laughed, saying, "I didn't expect that someone of the same kind would come today----"
Li Weiguo pointed to the copper incense burner in the middle of the table that was burning and emitting pale white smoke, and asked, "Mr. Fang, do you know what kind of incense is burning in this burner?"
------
Ye Zi and Ye Wenrou also changed into wide-sleeved Hanfu. Ye Wenrou chose a plain white dress, as white and black are her favorite colors. Ye Zi chose green, which looks like spring weeds, youthful, bright and lovely.
Seeing Ye Wenrou wearing a white robe, Ye Zi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, saying, "Sister, you look so beautiful in Hanfu, like a fairy----"
Ye Wenrou smiled silently, doting on her sister. She stroked her hair and said, "Where are there fairies in the world?"
"You are." Ye Zi said proudly, "I heard from my father that if you succeed this time, you will become a fairy----Sister, although I don't know what the way of heaven is, something that can make my father and uncle so excited must be a very remarkable thing. You have always been the best. Not only in our Ye family, but also in Yanziwu. You are very powerful in the whole China-----"
Ye Wenrou pondered for a moment and said, "Fang Yan is also very powerful-----"
"Sister-----" Ye Zi complained. "Do you like to speak for him so much? How is he so great? Can he compare with sister?"
"He's really amazing." Ye Wenrou pulled Ye Zi to sit on the rattan chair and said seriously, "Did you know that he has the heart of Tai Chi?"
"I know." Ye Zi nodded. "So what? I'm still beaten up like a pig by you-----"
Yes, this is what Ye Zi thinks of Fang Yan. Not only Ye Zi, but many other people are like Ye Zi, they all think Fang Yan's Kung Fu is just so-so.
Heart of Tai Chi? The name sounds powerful, but, wasn't it beaten like a pig by Ye Wenrou
By comparison, it is proved that the Heart of Tai Chi is actually a "parallel import" and is a trick of the Fang family-----
However, they never thought seriously that Fang Yan's opponent was Ye Wenrou, who was hailed as a rare genius in Yanziwu in a century. Because Ye Wenrou was so powerful, Fang Yan seemed not so powerful.
"He's better than me." Ye Wenrou said softly. She was not used to talking loudly to people. Even to the people closest to her, she would speak in a plain manner without much expression. But this was her unique style. A personality that was both domineering and aloof. "Tai Chi has a heart. This is the consensus of all those who practice Tai Chi in the inner world. Think about it, how many people are learning Tai Chi? There must be hundreds of thousands of people in the world, right? But think about it again, how many people among hundreds of thousands of people have realized the heart of Tai Chi? And at Fang Yan's age-----how many people are there?"
Ye Zi widened her eyes and said, "So amazing? But-----"
"I know, you mean that he was defeated by me every time we competed in martial arts, and he even ran away from home. This is indeed a very embarrassing thing." Ye Wenrou rarely interrupted others and said, "Tai Chi emphasizes going with the flow and following one's heart----but what is Fang Yan's heart? At that time, he couldn't find his heart at all, but I know that his heart is definitely not as simple as defeating me. What's the point of defeating me? What's the point of defeating a woman? Just like Bai Xiu was always reluctant to fight with me at that time, Fang Yan also felt that there was no need to fight a woman to the point of both sides being injured----"
"Hmph------" Ye Zi sneered and said, "These annoying guys, what's wrong with women? They can't beat a woman----damn sand pigism----"
"So, Fang Yan had some strength left at that time." Ye Wenrou lowered her voice, and even her eyes became softer. "I used heavy hands on him again and again, just to force him to use his full strength - but I still couldn't let him use his full strength."
Ye Zi was surprised and whispered, "So Fang Yan had already started flirting with you at that time - he started really early." (To be continued)
