Chapter 8 Chapter Eight

Ji Yun saw the surprised expression on Agui's face, and said with a smile: "You probably don't know that the officialdom is booming now, and those who were in the same year, the same teacher, the same official, and the same errands, one of them has been promoted or moved. Even after being demoted, everyone wants to help out and entertain guests. It was not long ago that I entered the military plane, and you also want to enter the military plane. Can they not come for such a big event? They have connections with eunuchs, ear report The gods are connected!" "This 'rule' has risen, and the atmosphere in the officialdom has changed." Agui said: "Last time, Tong Yanghao sent me soldiers. I mentioned it. I asked him why these 'tongs' Didn't you say 'Fellow Township'? He said that fellow countrymen are not very useful, because they are not allowed to be officials in their native places, and they can't take care of each other in family affairs. Their abacus is better than Qian Du's!" Qian Du said: "Now even the same township is also Added it in. Although it is not needed in my hometown, I will take care of it when I am in office. If there is a little use, I will contact you. The money is better than Mr. Accountant!"

"I'm talking about the weather tonight, and a pack of wolves and dogs rushed here—they are not afraid of bullets and bullets for fame and fortune!" Agui laughed for a while, and everyone continued to talk about business. After this confusion, Qian Du felt a lot more refreshed. He knew that Ji Yun's questioning of Qianlong was not only referring to Jinchuan's military affairs, but also his intention to employ people according to their aptitude.Now that he had an idea, he was not as cautious as Ah Gui, and said: "Zhuang Yougong, like Le Min, both came from the No. He said "I am the number one scholar, the number one person in the world" to everyone he met, which made him a reputation in the officialdom, so he was not a poor student. But I dare say that he is a person who does things honestly, is diligent and hardworking, and has a good character. E Shan and Zhuang Yougong The embankment of the Yongding River was being repaired, and I was ordered by Mr. Hengchen to see it. It was pouring rain, Eshan was covered in mud, and he was directing on the embankment with a shovel in his hand. Zhuang Yougong led the migrant workers to deliver sandbags to the embankment. I saw him with my own eyes. One accidentally slipped and rolled from the top of the embankment to the bottom of the embankment... When I shook hands with him, my hands were covered with calluses. He was a very quiet person, his voice was hoarse, his face was tanned, and his eyes were red. I laughed at that time He said that they "became two Stove Lords. It is strange that the Stove Lord governs the river"! I often compare E Shan and Zhuang Yougong. When I was nominated on the gold list, I had a Western scene, and I was a Han Chinese—in fact, I have to be of the same mind, who is not enthusiastic about fame?" After saying this, he sighed and drank his tea without saying a word.

E Shan is the minister of the Ministry of Industry; Zhuang Yougong is currently the Secretary of the Siyi Pavilion of the Ministry of Rites, and also holds the false title of Lang Guan, an official of the fourth rank.The way the two of them behaved when they were away, Agui couldn't help but feel horrified and moved.Ji Yun was hesitant for a long time, and said with a smile: "So I still have to ask E Shan, so I don't need to talk about it anymore—it's nothing, don't worry about it. To compile the Siku Quanshu, we need to select a few editorial officials." , the emperor wants me to investigate in person." Then asked: "Which of you know Hailancha and Zhaohui?" Agui shook his head, but Qian Du said: "I have met once, but I don't know much about it. I heard that the two love soldiers and are very capable. Field battle, and good friends again. Zhaohui seems to be mature, Hailan is more frivolous and likes to joke. I don’t know anything else.”

"The two of them became fugitive generals in Jinchuan." Ji Yun said, "The emperor has ordered the governors of Jinjiao, Jinhui, Henan and Yunnan and Guizhou provinces to arrest them intensively. Neqin also issued fire tickets, asking all places to seize them and escort them back. Battalion. Agui, I’m afraid you have to take care of the camp affairs at the military plane, the emperor told you to keep an eye on their news.” Ah Gui hurriedly got up and agreed to say "yes", but Ji Yun raised his voice and said, "Where are the people in the post house? Please come and talk to the adults waiting in the west wing!" He Shen, who was guarding the outer corridor, agreed, and then listened to the room Chairs and benches slammed into each other, and people left the hospital with a chaotic noise. They trotted up the steps and entered the main room under the gradually misty rain curtain.

In an instant, the main hall became extremely lively.The three of Ji Yun had already stood up and greeted each other with smiles.There were twenty-four or five people who came in.They are all half-wet and half-dry, but the tops are miscellaneous, including lapis lazuli, blue nirvana glass tops, crystals, white clear glass tops, clam tops, plain gold tops, raised flowers, and carved flowers. Dingzi... The old one is in his sixties, and the young one is only fifteen or sixteen years old. He has mixed clothes, different ages, and high and low official positions. They all hold up their notebooks and report their resumes in a loud voice.When Ji Yun looked at it, he only recognized one Hanlin Fang Zhixue, who asked him to be released from abroad. The other three Shu Jishi seemed to have accompanied Fang Zhixue to visit his school, but he couldn't remember the name anyway. Ah Gui knew it. There are a lot more, there are three pen posts that have worked together, one is Hu Qiulong, who has passed the exam, and the writing and poetry are passable, and the other two are Gao Fengwu, Wu Dabang, and a The pen post style has never met.The rest are all miscellaneous officials, most of them are neatly dressed, some of their robes are faded, some of the patched lines are missing corners, and some of their robes were burned by smoke, so they were patched.Hat brims with gaps, red tassels falling off, official boots showing socks... everything.All kinds of ghosts and monsters ran into the temple, all of them were entertaining each other with burning eyes, vying to please Ji Yun and A Gui, but leaving Qian Du aside.

Ji Yun is clear in his heart, although he is in the military plane, in fact he only cares about compiling the "Siku Quanshu", and the Ministry of Rites only takes care of it, these people are all here for Agui.Then he looked at Agui, Agui was looking at Qian Du, but Qian Du just smiled and sat silently.Seeing Ji Yun taking out a cigarette, Qian Du smiled and said: "Master Xiaolan wants to eat cigarettes, whoever has a fire box, light it for Master Ji!" Before he finished speaking, five or six people immediately lit up the fire box He leaned in front of Ji Yun's face.Ji Yun only took a puff of the cigarette, couldn't help laughing in his belly, and took a puff, choking sparks from the smoke pot.

"Brothers," Ji Yun coughed a few times to cover his smile, "Gui Junmen is going to the capital today, and we will talk as soon as we get off the car. It's hard for everyone to welcome us with hail and heavy rain. This kind of affection is truly touching." Ah Gui He smiled and said: "When people come, I will take care of them. There are many people, and we can't offer tea while standing here. It's too slow. I have to meet with you tomorrow. Come down and talk about it; if there is no urgent matter, please go back home. There is a day to meet!" These are all officials who are usually not on the stage. Some want to seek academic positions, some want to let go of other posts, want to fill in the gaps, want to transfer, want to introduce, want to show off with a good face, and set up friendship for future retention. There are different colors and different levels.It is difficult to see Ji Yun on weekdays. The news that Ah Gui came to Beijing to enter the army has long been rumored all over the world, and it was all negotiated. How could he be sent away like this?Suddenly there was a lot of shouting and shouting.

"Grandpa Gui! We are here to welcome you, so we have to reward you no matter what!" "Xiaolan, I've specifically inquired about you, and you won't be on duty tomorrow. We haven't seen each other for a long time, so why don't we talk to Jiamu?" "Although we are small officials, we have more affection than those big bosses..." "Ah Gui, don't forget the poor and humble friends! Forget that when you went to Uncle Jiu's place to play the autumn wind, I was the one who accompanied you to have a cold meal in the East Kitchen!" "My name is Feng Qingbiao, my name is Feng Qingbiao! Do you remember that we lost money in a bet in the hallway of Guandi Temple, and we baked sweet potatoes to satisfy our hunger?"

"Xiaolan, I brought you the pair of Mengtian Tiger Talismans you want!" "Xiaolan, I have a picture of Tang Bohu's lady, you have to appreciate it..." "Xiaolan..." "Master Gui..." "Ah Gui..." "Ji Zhongtang..." Qian Du listened to the din of the crowd, he looked like a group of starving ghosts haunting Zhong Kui, felt that they were ashamed and shameless, and felt sorry for them after thinking about it.Smiling and sitting coldly while sipping tea, he suddenly recognized an acquaintance and shouted loudly: "Wu Qingchen! Are you not the famous criminal master of Yue Jun Futai? In the Liu Kang case, we were two witnesses together, and we were locked in the same room to eat." Three months for a dead man's meal—forget about me now!"

"Ouch! Isn't this Mrs. Lao Heng?" The man named Wu Qingchen was chattering about Agui's "love" for "breaking watermelon with his hands at Xihaizi back then", when he saw Qian Du sitting on the side, happy De Ledian turned over, beat Qian'er and greeted him again, and said with a smile: "Is this the God of Wealth of our Qing Dynasty! We are friends in trouble, and we have the deepest friendship, and they are incomparable..." Qian Du shook his hand and laughed: "This is my Don’t dare to take it!——You’re so noisy that this bustling door is going to catch the wind, whoever takes the lead, and where to catch the wind, just squeeze here, and fill your hunger with flattery?” Wu Qingchen said with a smile: “I’m afraid you won’t reward face—won’t you I heard it’s easy to treat guests but hard to treat them? ——It’s right next door—Ma Ergaozi—the newly elected Dezhou Yandao as the host, and holds banquets in Luqing Building! Ma Ergaozi—” He lowered his voice and moved closer to Qiandu , A stinky smell of garlic and green onions came to the nostrils, "Ma Deyu, a well-known rich man in Tongzhou, donated a Taoist platform and released the real shortage. He is in high spirits. We caught his head..." Qian Du couldn't stand him. With breath in his mouth, he stood up and smiled and said to Ji Yun: "I'm afraid we will not escape this disaster tonight. It is better to obey orders than to be respectful. Let's eat these turtle grandchildren!" Everyone immediately shouted.

Ji Yun and Agui looked at each other, not knowing how to deal with this group of bezoars and dogs.Hearing Qian Du's words, he felt that this was the only way to go, so he nodded in a daze.Seeing this, He Shen knew that he had nothing to do with it, so he went into the house and took a few sober stones and offered them to Qiandu, but he didn't follow. Put out the incense, and wait for the master to return drunk. Luqing Building is just a stone's throw away from the post station.Ah Gui and Ji Yun and Qian Du wore oil coats and hats on their heads, and were supported by the crowd, and they arrived in front of the building almost without touching the ground.At this time, it was only light rain, and five large red lanterns were hung under the corner eaves of the three-bay facade. Looking up, the three-story building was covered with a gable roof, and the floating rain and mist were reflected in the lights. The ground is hazy like fog, looming the abrupt cornices on the dangerous buildings, and the carved urns inserted into the sky really feel like heaven.When Ji Yun read it, the couplet beside the door was very energetic: Fool: The world was originally a big stage, so there is no need to shed tears. Fool: The stage is originally a small world, and it is better to pretend to be crazy. There are six vermilion lacquered pillars in the inner hall, and more than a dozen tables for the Eight Immortals are placed. On the north side of a stage, there are more than 20 spotlights lit.Outside there is a large water sign that reads "Full Customers, Thank You, Apologize", but there is no sound inside.It was only then that Ji Yun knew that Ma Erjiazi was so rich that he actually took over this building.As he walked in, he said with a smile, "Ma Deyu—how much is this garden paid for in one night?" "It's only about two hundred taels. This is done by the housekeeper. I'm not sure." Hearing Ji Yun's question, Ma Erqian hurriedly came up and replied: "About four hundred taels is enough "He is a big man, so fat that Xueyan's mending clothes are stretched tightly.There are two small black eyes inlaid in a white and broad face, carelessly, with an air of indifference.Ji Yun has read a lot of people, and listening to him speak Shanxi dialect, his voice is angry, and his expression is full of agility, but he is not stupid at all, because he said with a smile: "My salary for two years is not enough for you to squander it overnight. With such money, Still come out to be an official?" Ma Eryuzi laughed and said: "My lord is the most wise! No matter how much money you have, you can't use it as a status. Even if you are a local history, even a low-level official who comes to your house should be respected as a god and treated as an ancestor. I don’t need money, I think people will respect me, I’m not as good as an official because of what I’ve done. Now even the county magistrate of Futai comes to my house, and when he sees my old man, he’ll say ‘old man’. This is like Miss Kuo opening a brothel, not looking for money, just looking for a romantic life!" Ji Yun couldn't help laughing, and said: "Officials are compared to brothels, this analogy is interesting!" As he walked, he asked: "How promising are you in Yandao in a year?" "20,000 taels!" Ma Eryuzi licked his lips, "In addition to giving the boss Bingjing, Tanjing, printed money, birthday gifts, wedding and wedding gifts, there is also money for filial piety to Mrs. Shangxian's private house, entertainment with all parties... …I don’t scrape the land, I don’t accept bribes, I come and go according to my quota, the accounts are evened out, and the uncles are happy to be an official, and they also give me subsidies.” There are still officials like this!Ji Yun couldn't help wondering, but he was really interested in Ma Erkuzi, and said: "You are an official!" "I'll take the money I deserve, and I will never take the money I don't deserve. I don't feel sorry for the money that should be spent-officials are not chic, because they spend 10% of their energy and 90% of their energy on fighting minds. I can't bear it, I just want to be safe, of course I am happy." "Errands—you've got to do errands!" "Zhongtang! Today's 'errands' can be handled by one person out of ten, and one errand can be fought by a hundred people. If I don't fight, how many good people have I lost!" "When you meet your boss, you always have to hand over the notebook. Please An kneel down and beat Qian'er to laugh and talk with you, right?" Ma Erjiazi also smiled, and said: "Of course, it should be done in the ceremony. But when the boss saw me, it was the same way. I'm the one who counts the points, and if I can even out, I still have a little bit of leftovers—— If you want to be a high-ranking official like you, the superior will spare you a lot!" As he spoke, he had already entered the downstairs garden and under the stage.Ma Eryuzi looked at it, and there were five tables not far or near the stage, and there were two Hanlin seats in the middle, and Fang Zhixue was on the side of the chief. Jia Haojun stood respectfully opposite Fang Zhixue, with a look of sincerity and fear.Ji Yun saw that the table was full of dishes, and everyone was looking at him eagerly, so he pulled Ma Deyu to the chairman's seat, bowed to Agui Qiandu, and said loudly with a smile: "Today, everyone from all walks of life came. The feudal lords are dedicated to welcome Agui's army. Qian Du and I only have time to accompany each other. The banquet is so rich, it is rare for everyone to get together, and we all have a good time. But we just ate, and we should be friends and accompany each other, and talk to the host That's it." "Everyone!" Ma Erqian raised his glass and laughed, "I, Ma Deyu, respect heroes the most. I was far from the other adults in terms of status, so I flattered Lord Fang to save face, and pay respects to this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, that of the Agui Army... Well, Zun Fan! Unexpectedly, I met three imperial courts at once... Ah, stone pillars! Taking advantage of this excitement, I thought that I was lucky to have six lives. Just read it, anyone who can drink or tell jokes is fine. We are all idlers, don't force the rich to use wine-I said in the end, this money is my family's clean money, and the treat is my wish, and I didn't ask the boss The officer gave me promotion and work, only for the sake of being decent and happy. Whoever wants to talk behind his back, I will die with you!" After finishing speaking, drink a cup first. Everyone didn't hear him finish, they were already laughing, Ah Gui and Qian Du were drinking together, panting and trembling with laughter.But because of what he said just now, Ji Yun felt that Pi Liyangqiu, the son of the horse, was a very sophisticated person, so he just smiled and said, "I just have a drink, and have fun with me." The son of the horse giggled With clapping of hands, twelve female actresses on both sides of the stage, six dedicated to musical instruments such as sheng flute and Xiao pipa, and six actors with long sleeves and long skirts dragging the floor, waving their hands to watch them off, dancing and singing as they meandered out, singing: The reckless universe is old and late, and Xiao Xiao has white hair and old Jiang Gan. It is easy to rejuvenate the cloth gold ground, but it is difficult to set up the halberd gate and wall. Geng Xin's career is the most bleak, and Meng Jiao's poetry and bone drama are poor. Since I feel that the seven-character fragrance is weak, I will seal it to the Lord Plum Blossom. ... The singing and dancing on the stage is full of curls, but the audience is full of laughter and laughter.Ah Gui didn't dare to drink too much from a glass, she just took a sip of the wine and took a sip of light vegetables.Qian Duyin had nothing to do tomorrow, but he drank it with a toast, and after a few drinks, he was already drunk.The twelve lingtong civil officials, Ouguan, Aiguan, Kuiguan, Douguan, Fangguan, Yuguan, Lingguan, Ruiguan, Yaoguan, Baoguan and Qianguan on the stage can all be fifteen or sixteen years old. Ouguan, Fangguan, and Yuguan are three girls, with long flowing hair, bright eyes and bright teeth, and the rest of the male actors are also beautiful, and they come off the stage as soon as they are happy, and they have long sleeves and loose hands. Serve wine to guests. Seeing Wu Qingchen drunk, Qian Du came over to toast with a child prostitute in his hand, knowing that he was a handicapped man, he just smiled.Wu Qingchen put his hands on the young servant's pretty shoulders, and said in a coquettish voice, "Come on, Douguan, toast the adults!" Then he moved to Douguan's cheek to make a mouthful.Feigning shame, the Douguan pointed his head away and said with a smile: "Master, let's go to cool off, the breath in your mouth is unbearable!" Beside, he said softly: "Master Qian... Mr. Ji and Mr. Gui are not allowed to drink alcohol. You have to let go of the amount today, and drink a few more glasses on behalf of the two masters..." Qian Du saw that he was slender and charming. Kind of, she is more feminine than a woman, bursts of fragrance came, and he was drunk again, and his heart fluttered, so he drank three cups in a row and said: "What a delicious wine!" "Flowers are not charming, people are fascinated by themselves." Ah Gui looked at the pink, white, black and green embroidered skirts in the courtyard, under the bright candles, there were "men and women" scratching their heads and posing, and couldn't help but feel sick. He smiled and said, "Unexpectedly, I was invited here to see the scenery tonight!" "You're right." Ji Yun smiled and said, "This is the third time for me. Now that I've arrived at King Liang Xiao's rabbit nursery, let's see Rabbit is ready!" Qian Du smiled and said: "Since we are talking about rabbits, let me talk about a case. Gao Shaofu, the magistrate of Neihuang County in Henan Province, took a case. He was a scholar who stayed in a shop. He was sodomized by a Fujian businessman in the same room. He got up in the middle of the night and was arrested in the county government. The plaintiff and the defendant kept talking endlessly, but Gao Shaofu didn't understand the meaning of 'sodomy'. The scholar said 'broken sleeve' and then 'divided peaches', the more Gao Shaofu listened, the more confused he became. Asked 'what's going on?" The scholar sipped for a long time, and said, "he will be a man as a woman!" Gao Shaofu couldn't help being furious, he slapped the sound of the wood, and shouted, "What does the rain in the south of the Yangtze River have to do with me in Henan?"Get out of here! '" After the words were finished, the audience suddenly burst into laughter. The garden was full of officials with brilliant hairpins and tassels, laughing and chattering loudly. Without saying a word, the gourmet eaters, red men and dolls shuttle among them, coquettishly smiling and coquettishly persuading them to drink, as if they opened a brothel dojo, and they all do romantic rituals. Ji Yun saw that this group of people was so filthy, and knew that if he sat down again, he would definitely be impeached by the censor. Seeing that Agui was also smiling sullenly, he whispered: "Calm down. There are people here who can't be offended." Agui gritted his teeth He said in a low voice: "My dear grandma! How can this be an official? It's clearly a group of shameless clients!" Ji Yun pulled Agui's lapel, stood up, raised his glass and said with a smile: "Although they are all Classmates, colleagues and friends of the same year, everyone is a person of status after all, carefully lose their official appearance and look bad-the actors all went back to the stage, picking out the elegant ones-such as singing the song just now, It is elegant and tasteful for everyone to play riddles and write poems. Now that the world is governed and prosperous, the holy way is prosperous, and all officials should set an example for changing customs. Everyone has fun, as long as you don’t go out of the way, you are showing love to your brothers.” Seeing that Ji Yun's few words were neither serious nor serious, they were both warm and full of bones, and they immediately made people quiet a lot. He knew that he was very likely to become a chancellor, so he admired him and wanted to learn from this prime minister, because Seeing that the atmosphere was getting serious, he teased and said with a smile: "We will follow Ji Zhongtang's instructions, and Gao Le will break up after a while-our table is right about the title of the play. Hmm... the name of the episode was mentioned earlier. You need to be tidy, and you need to bring the name of the play later, so you don’t have to ask for full blame.” He smiled and took a sip of his wine, “Let me set an example first.” “Scary Soul” - “Wind Festival Error”, and “Cry Crazy” - “ "Eight Meanings"" "Shocked and demented must be matched. If you are not, you will be fined to compose a poem, or tell a joke, drink and sing a song. Is this good?" After a moment of pondering, he began to say: Stealing Armor—Yan Ling Armor! A pen post on the side responded without thinking: A total of Ding - Peach Blossom Fan. He got up again and said to each other: "Wangsu-Hongye Ji!" Next to him was Fang Zhixue. He raised his face and thought for a while, and said to him: Copy Red - Romance of the West Chamber! Another pair: Futou - Xiu Ru Ji. The next one was Agui's turn. He was leading troops outside and hadn't entered the theater for several years. This kind of couplet seemed easy, but in fact, he had to follow the titles of the plays one by one. How could he find it?After being stunned for a long time, he clapped his hands suddenly, and said with a smile: "Yes! - cut the feet - it's a scene in "Jade Garden"!" Then he said, "Open your eyes - the story of Jingchai! Lord Xiaolan, Look at you!" Ji Yun was stunned for a moment, his poems, essays, and books are all top-notch, and Shen Yixuan is also invincible in the world, except that he seldom goes to the theater, and he is savoring the pair of "supporting the head-cutting the feet" He was neat and humorous, but Ah Gui made an "eye-opening" response to him, so he frowned and searched, but his heart was at a loss.Hanlin Xiao Ying'an, who was just next to the table, came over to toast with a scroll drawing in his arms, and said, "Mr. Xiaolan, please comment on the authenticity." Pretending to lean over, he whispered a few words in Ji Yun's ear, and Ji Yun slapped the table happily, Shouted: "Wonderful! 'Open Eyes' is right for 'Pull Eyebrows'—isn't it from "Luan Chai Ji"?" "This can't be counted!" Ah Gui laughed, "——this is a fraudulent transmission, and you will be punished with alcohol—" He couldn't call out Xiao Ying'an's name, and only said, "—even you, an old man, will be fined! "Xiao Ying'an took up the cup without hesitation and drank it down, frowned and drank another cup, and said with a big tongue: "Even, even Mr. Xiaolan's fine wine, I also took it, it's all right ?” Everyone immediately booed and said: "No, no! Everyone is their own account. Ji Gong can't drink, and punish him to write poems!" Just that Jia Zhijun with the "Meng Tian Tiger Talisman" also came to toast, jokingly said, " Xiao Ying'an's poetry at the reception is the number one romantic academic. Don't spare him!" Qian Du and Agui both got up and shouted: "What Jia Zhijun said is true! We don't want to spare any of us..." At this moment, the singing on the stage turned back, and the audience Officials toasted at the banquet: there was a lot of noise, it was really lively.Xiao Ying'an smiled awkwardly and said: "How can I get my poem in front of Lord Xiaolan, Gui Junmen, and Lord Qian? Alas, the consensus is hard to go against, so I have no choice but to make up nonsense..." Yin shook his head and frowned and said: We are engaged in poetry, how can we just do it? However, it is not easy to say, scholars know what they want! "Good!" Everyone cheered in unison and burst out laughing. Agui, Jia Zhijun, Fang Zhixue, Wu Qingchen, Ma Erkuzi, and Xu Dabang who came to join in the fun all bowed their backs and couldn't breathe from laughing.Seeing that Ji Yun was shaking with laughter, Qian Du panted and said with a smile: "It's your turn! It must be better!" Ji Yun laughed and said, "How can I write better 'poems'? I heard people say that the Military Aircraft Department There is a theory of Red Zhangjing and Black Zhangjing. I came out as Zhangjing, so I will make fun of myself with this topic!" Yin Nian said: Flowing water is like chariots and horses, like dragons, masters like tigers and servants like foxes. Proudly went to the military plane, and asked with a smile if Zhongtang arrived? Ah Gui smiled and asked: "This is 'Red Zhangjing', what about 'Black Zhangjing'?" Ji Yun said: A basket is used as a chariot and a donkey is used as a horse, and the master is like a mouse and a servant is like a pig. Slipped quietly to the military plane, and asked Zhongtang if he was there? At this moment, Ma Eryuzi was in full swing of wine, he had forgotten his physical appearance, clasped his arms and laughed loudly, and said with his chopsticks: "I don't know the name of the play either, today's scene is a pot of mixed soup, so I can't help but play a song for fun! " Yin Kang said: If you don't see the world, you will have delusional minds, delusional minds!Gold buildings and terraces with silver spreads, tall carts and angry horses like clouds of slaves, charming children and child molestation locks in the deep spring - at this point, he suddenly felt that he had lost his composure, and stopped abruptly, not knowing what to do. Everyone knew that he came from a wealthy businessman with a lot of money He was just hospitable and forthright, but his words were full of nonsense and full of mistakes, and when he suddenly saw him chanting such a good sentence, he was also stunned.So far, Ji Yun knew that Ma Erqian was pretending to be stupid, so he didn't say anything, just asked, "This delusional mind is not bad, but where did you get so much money?——You seem to have not finished reading..." "Being an official." Ma Erqianzi has returned to normal, "The bigger the official, the closer you are to the delusional mind - Zhongtang Mingjian!" "Being an official! If you are in my position, the salary, the maintenance silver, and the ice charcoal are added together, and it is only a few thousand taels a year. How can you get that kind of wealth?" "That's because you didn't have a delusional mind." Ma Erjiazi laughed, "If you really want to fulfill this delusional mind, you have to scrape the ground! - I just finished reading it -" Yin said loudly: Boiling fat in ant bones, scraping lacquer powder on bedbugs, our old bachelor in officialdom—if you are stingy, don’t scrape—I...I...squeeze Yi's spine! Everyone laughed in an uproar, and when they were about to comment, He Shen hurried over and whispered a few words beside Agui.Ah Gui whispered next to Ji Yun's ear, "Master Fu Liu is here, waiting at the posthouse, there is something important..." Ji Yun also got up.Qian Du also stood up. "Thank you for your generosity, master!" Ji Yun said with a smile to Ma Erjiazi beside him: "Based on your poem, I will return the table later, everyone—the feast must come to an end. We have something to do, so we have to go first. If you don't enjoy yourself, feel free Follow me, don't give them away." After saying that, he nodded slightly and withdrew to attend, and Ah Gui Qian Du also resigned.Because Ji Yun said "don't send it off", Ah Gui and Qian Du both looked solemn again, everyone was restrained, and they got up in disorder, some bowed, some bowed and said, "Please go ahead, Mr. Zhongtang." ..." The three of them ignored it and came out, only the host, Ma Erkuzi, came out to see them off. Qian Du followed the two for a few steps, and suddenly stopped.Fu Heng called Agui and Ji Yun, and he, a servant of the household department, followed him. What's the matter?Agui saw what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Your sedan chair is still in the posthouse! Sixth Master, you have always lived well. It seems hypocritical to throw the shovel away like this." Ji Yun also said: " See you later, let's see what Liu Ye wants." Only then did Qian Du move to keep up.In an instant, the three of them had returned to the station. At this time, the heavy rain stopped, but it was very overcast, and the sleet rain was as fine as fog, swaying under the shadow of the lights in the yard of the post station, and the courtyard was full of water.Seeing Fu Heng with his hands behind his back, standing in the center of the patio looking up at the sky, Ji Yun stopped after entering the door.Ji Yun smiled and said: "Master Liu, it's a bit like watching a kite in Qingming! Is it too hot in the house in this weather?" "Are you back?" Fu Heng turned his face to see them and said, "I'll be waiting for you——Qian Don’t leave, let’s talk about things together—I’m not taking shelter, I’m just looking to see if there will be any more hailstorms on this day——” As he said, he let the three of them enter the main room with his hands. "Jin Hui's impeachment of Neqin and Zhang Guangsi has arrived." Fu Heng's tone was as heavy as lead, and his face was terribly gloomy, "25,000 of our army died in battle, and only 5,000 were trapped in Songgang...I have two Unexpected: Unexpectedly: Unexpectedly, Neqin is so incompetent, loses his teacher and humiliates the king, and conceals his crimes; Unexpectedly, Shaluo is so fierce and hard to control when she is a chieftain..." All three of them knew that the news from Jinchuan was not good. When they heard "25,000 people were killed in battle", their hearts sank suddenly, and they fell silent, without saying a word for a while.After a long time, Ji Yun asked: "Did the Lord see Zhezi?" "I see." Fu Heng looked gloomy and breathed a sigh of relief, "This kind of paper cannot be delayed. The emperor is angry. One is that Zhang Tingyu personally entered the palace to apologize; Covetously asking for bribes, the Household Hall official——the Gui Qing who supervised Xihaizifei's release, partnered up to make things difficult, and raised the price of wood privately; and there was a hailstorm just now, passed on to the Qin Tianjian, and the Qin Tianjian was drunk The wine was unconscious, and it was said that the Governor of Shuntian asked to check if there was any damage to the houses of people and animals, but there was no sign. The whole yard was dark!...The emperor was so annoyed that his head turned red, and he personally ordered Gui Qing to be killed on the spot. Xiao. When I went in, I was carrying Bu Xiao's body outside, and the eunuchs and maids were all frightened, so I went in to report the funeral..." He swallowed bitterly, with a quaver in his voice, and said: "Since I was a child, I have seen my master get angry many times, but I have never seen his face like this. His face was so dark that it turned green, and the eyes of his pupils Flashing fluorescent lights, standing on the ground like a nail, not saying a word, not moving at all..." "The look in his eyes made me feel like I committed a heinous crime, God! My heart still trembles when I think about it..." Fu Heng covered his eyes with his hands, and tears flowed from between his fingers , Without raising his head, he continued: "I was afraid that he would faint from anger, so I knelt down a few steps and hugged his knees, crying and saying, 'Master, please don't...don't do this...the slaves are guilty and punished Killing, you are a body of ten thousand gold... Neqin is not a human being, and you will be punished in the Jingming canon, and a slave will stay in the military plane to manage military affairs. It is an unforgivable crime to not share your worries... But the defeat of Jinchuan, as early as Sheng In the light of Jianzhu, and the three armies, only one route was lost, not the vitality... Don't be angry... The slave, go to Jinchuan, and win the face back for the master...' He listened, tears in his eyes Rolling down like pearls..." Fu Heng seemed to be overwhelmed by the cold, his whole body convulsed and shrank into a ball, unable to hold back anymore, he broke down crying. All three were stunned.Although they and Fu Heng have a distinction between high and low positions, they have been in private contact with each other in private, but they still hold the gift of friends.Fu Heng's talent is elegant, he favors Confucianism, and his demeanor has always been calm. He takes off his hat and talks about martial arts in his thesis, and looks like a nobleman. When have you seen him so out of shape?Just now, I was in Luqinglou, feasting and feasting, drinking and drinking, and dismantling the filth, and suddenly I was in the atmosphere of this scene, and I was a little bit in a daze, like a scene of a dream. The sound of the rain outside gradually grew louder in the silence, and was slanted by the whistle wind. It hit the tiles, the stables, and the window roots. There is a rustle there, there is a rush here, and the distant and near sounds are chaotic.About the old wall of the post station courtyard peeled off the dirt and skin, and when it hit the muddy water, there was a muffled "pop" sound, which was transmitted into the house, and several people were terrified.
