"Shangguan Wuyou and I have known each other since we were young. We are both in the same circle and we can be considered good friends. He is a casual person. After all, he is not the eldest son in the family. His two brothers are both very outstanding and do not need to bear so many responsibilities. He does everything according to his heart. If he is right, everything will be easy to deal with. Otherwise, he will not bother to pay attention. There are many people who want to curry favor with the Shangguan family. I am sure you have seen that he is unwilling to even say a few perfunctory words. However, with the support of the Shangguan family, he is free from worries."
Deng Chen said this with more admiration in his tone. After all, not everyone can do whatever they want like Shangguan Wuyou. Even with such a background, one must resist the temptation of power and desire. Just like him, he also yearns for such a life, but cannot do it.
"I'll take you there and introduce you to him. Don't mind if he has a bad attitude." If it were an ordinary person, even if he was not happy about it, he would still give him some face on the surface because of their friendship. But if it was Shangguan Wuyou, Deng Chen was really unsure, so he told Han Yu this in advance, so that it wouldn't be too embarrassing if it didn't work out.
"As expected of Mr. Wuyou, Runzhi still lives such a carefree and carefree life. It's really enviable." Deng Chen walked over and said with a smile
Shangguan Wuyou raised his head and glanced at Deng Chen. As for Han Yu beside Deng Chen, he pretended not to see him until he said something: "There is nothing in the world that people make trouble for themselves. As long as you are willing, you can do the same."
"A common person like me cannot compare to Brother Shangguan. I think too much, worry too much, and have too many things that I cannot let go of. So I can only watch Brother Shangguan live his life with envy."
"Everyone has their own way of living in this world. It all depends on your own choice. Just don't regret it." Shangguan Wuyou said, then drank by himself and stopped talking.
Deng Chen and Han Yu looked at each other, and Han Yu stepped forward and said, "I am Han Yu, nice to meet Master Wuyou."
Shangguan Wuyou also holds an official position in the court, so he appears here. Han Yu calls Shangguan Wuyou like this because it is Deng Chen's instruction. Shangguan Wuyou dislikes the officialdom the most. Even if he wants to make friends with him, it is better not to do so in the capacity of an official.
"You are the Han Yu who dealt with that group of lawless bandits. You are quite courageous." Shangguan Wuyou's tone was not too enthusiastic, but Deng Chen was delighted to hear it. Seeing his friend's attitude, he knew that he admired Han Yu a little, so he felt relieved.
Originally, he was worried that Shangguan Wuyou would ignore Han Yu. After all, Shangguan Wuyou always hated those who fawned on him. Although he knew that Han Yu was not such a person, and that he could get to where he is today by relying on his own strength, and even risking his life, and luck only played a small part, but in the eyes of others, it was not so. After all, Han Yu was so young and climbed so fast, there were many rumors outside, all of which were unpleasant.
"It's me." Han Yu was not modest and responded directly. Such a frank character was somewhat in line with Shangguan Wuyou's temperament.
"Why are you standing here? If you want, just sit down and have a few drinks. We can be considered friends now."
Shangguan Wuyou said so, and Han Yu followed suit. Deng Chen was stunned for a moment before he sat down. He was quite surprised. Shangguan Wuyou's almost friendly reaction was really beyond his expectations.
Shangguan Wuyou glanced at his friend of many years and knew what he was thinking: "There's no need to compare me with those people. I only pay attention to the essence of a person when I look at him. Those rumors outside are nothing. I am not the kind of superficial person who only looks at the appearance of things. Not to mention anything else, just the fact that he was able to deal with those evil bandits is worthy of my admiration!"
Of course, it is not as simple as Shangguan Wuyou said. At that time, there were many tricks behind that group of bandits, and Shangguan Wuyou was also concerned about it. So when Han Yu wiped out the bandits later, Shangguan Wuyou had a careful investigation of Han Yu and knew Han Yu's life and deeds clearly. Therefore, he admired Han Yu very much, especially Han Yu's performance just now. He responded and dealt with those who tried to win him over or threaten him calmly and without servility. Seeing Deng Chen bringing Han Yu over, he took the opportunity to make friends with him.
Whether it was Shangguan Wuyou, Deng Chen, or Han Yu, all three were the focus of attention, so when the three sat together drinking and chatting, many people with ulterior motives began to speculate and weigh things. Some people who had originally wanted to cause trouble for Han Yu were also weighing whether to do so, speculating on the relationship between Shangguan Wuyou and Han Yu. Everyone knew Shangguan Wuyou, and if he wasn't a good friend of Han Yu, he would definitely not have been treated like this.
Han Yu took in the reactions of the people present. His face remained expressionless, but a deep color flashed in his eyes.
At the banquet, a man sitting opposite Shangguan Wuyou saw Han Yu drinking and chatting with Shangguan Wuyou and Deng Chen. He narrowed his eyes viciously, revealing a dangerous message: This kid is really capable. He has currying favor with Shangguan Wuyou so quickly. New and old grudges have ruined his good deeds. He still has accounts to settle with this arrogant kid!
"A thousand cups are not enough when meeting a close friend. Xiuqi is also a man of temperament. If the occasion was not inappropriate today, I would like to drink three hundred cups with you." Shangguan Wuyou only admired Han Yu before, but now he feels like treating him as a close friend. He thought Han Yu was from a farming family, and even if he had some skills, his vision and experience were limited. He did not expect Han Yu to be so knowledgeable, and you could not tell that he was from such a family. His views and understandings on many things are quite similar to his, and he can talk to him quite well.
"If Brother Runzhi (Shangguan Wuyou's courtesy name is Runzhi) doesn't mind, please come to my house one day and ask my wife to prepare some side dishes and invite Brother Weiqing (Deng Chen's courtesy name is Weiqing) so that we can have a good drink together!"
"That's the best. Runzhi, you don't know that the food at Xiuqi Mansion is the most delicious, no matter it's meals or snacks. I've eaten so many delicious foods, and none of them can compare to this." Speaking of visiting Han Yu's house, Deng Chen was most happy.
"That's great. If Xiuqi doesn't mind, I'll bring my wife along. My wife loves food just like Runzhi. She won't miss anything delicious." Shangguan Wuyou is also a man who dotes on his wife. He and his wife have been childhood sweethearts since they were young. When his wife grew up, she married him and the couple lived their life wholeheartedly. He is not like other young masters who have three wives and four concubines in the backyard. Deng Chen is the only one. Although he has no concubines, he still has a maid to serve him in the room.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Han Yu had made an appointment with Deng Chen and Shangguan Wuyou, and thought that the time was almost up, so he waited outside to pick up Su Wenyue and take her home. His love for his wife made Shangguan Wuyou look at him with a higher regard. After all, he was also going to pick up 'that ferocious little foodie' from his family. Deng Chen shook his head as he looked at the two of them.
