Facts have proved that this bitch Ma Zhou may indeed have come here to satisfy his alcohol addiction.
After three glasses of it, I felt like I was possessed by a drunkard.
He took the initiative to pick up the wine bottle and toasted everyone——
In fact, everyone has already seen that after three cups of this product, it is obviously too much.
Everyone is dumbfounded. With such a drinking capacity, you still have a bottle of wine every day and punish yourself with three drinks without saying a word. It’s really...
"Okay, as long as it's what you mean, don't be brave if you can't drink -"
Wang Zi'an picked up the tea cup in front of him, took a sip gently, and then glanced at Ma Zhou, who had just drank the fourth cup. His face was red, his eyes were blurred, and he was obviously drunk, and he waved his hand angrily.
How much alcohol do you have?
"Sir, it's okay——"
Perhaps because of drinking, Ma Zhou was obviously less restrained and returned to his usual wild look.
Wang Zi’an:……
He even regretted that he had talked too much. He was talking nonsense to an alcoholic who always had a wine gourd hanging around his waist. Just let him drink and that would be it. However, Ma Zhou's next performance once again stunned everyone.
Watching him helplessly, he drank one cup after another.
Still the same flushed face, still the same drunken eyes, but still as drunk as before, speaking calmly, and thinking clearly. Not only is he not drunk, but his reactions seem to be three minutes faster than before...
It’s quite worthy of the wine gourd around my waist!
"Where is senior brother employed now——"
When Xi Junmai came here to drink, Xi Junmai couldn't help but asked curiously while holding the wine glass.
Hearing Xi Junmai ask about this, Ma Zhou wiped the wine stains on his beard with his hand.
"I just received a decree from the imperial court yesterday, saying that I have done a great job in helping Mr. take care of the affairs of the refugees in the east of the city during this period. After the Chinese New Year, I will be on duty in Menxia Province and take up the post of Zuo Shiyi..."
After saying that, he stood up, left his seat, put away the bohemian look on his face, and bowed deeply to Prince An.
"Student Ma Zhou, thank you Master for your teaching and support. Without my teacher's teaching and support, there would be no student today..."
Ma Zhou knew in his heart that if it weren't for his husband's relationship, he would never be appreciated by the court even if he died of exhaustion in Dongshan.
Therefore, after receiving the appointment from the imperial court, although he couldn't wait to come to thank him, he still patiently handled every big and small matter in Dongshan. He was busy until this afternoon, finishing the last thing. He handed it over to the steward Changsun, who had a fair face, was calm in his work, and wore a kind smile every day, and then hurried over.
However, seeing that there were unfamiliar faces there, it was difficult to mention it. Now that he knew that everyone was a family, Xi Junmai took the initiative to mention it, and then he stood up and solemnly thanked Wang Zi'an.
Li Shimin started very quickly——
This should be Li Shimin's handiwork. This dog emperor has always admired Ma Zhou. He probably started thinking like this after he went to Dongshan last time.
Wang Zi'an had already had a premonition about this. After all, Li Shimin had coveted Ma Zhou for a long time, and his tendency to use him was already obvious.
The last time he scolded Ma Zhou in front of Li Shimin for not doing his job properly and delaying his studies, he was deliberately giving Ma Zhou a chance to show off. Looking at it now, the effect was pretty good.
As for what position Ma Zhou holds now, he doesn't care.
For Ma Zhou, it didn't matter what position he got. What was important was that Li Shimin admired him very much. And according to the original history, in the past two years, Ma Zhou would skyrocket and become another great leader after Wei Zheng. A loyal remonstrator, he suddenly became a new member of the Tang Dynasty.
He smiled and waved his hand.
"This is indeed a happy event. During this period, you have been busy managing the affairs of the company every day. I was originally worried that it would delay your spring next year. But now, I don't need to worry..."
At this point, Wang Zi'an suddenly felt something in his heart and added.
"Speaking of which, even though you worship me as your teacher, I haven't had time to teach you anything. Anyway, you don't have anywhere else to go in Chang'an. Why don't you just stay here with me during this period and read some of the elementary school textbooks I wrote?" Read it carefully and gain some knowledge..."
When Ma Zhou heard this, he couldn't help but look happy, and he quickly bowed deeply again.
"Disciple obeys the order——"
In today's Chang'an City, who doesn't know that the Marquis of Chang'an is a scholar and a heavenly man? Even Li Gang, Yan Shigu, Kong Yingda, Zhang Ruosu, and a group of old gentlemen from the Imperial College all admire this man highly and are amazed by him. I don't know how many people want to worship him. It's impossible to get into Mr.'s sect.
Looking at Ma Zhou who was full of alcohol but in high spirits.
Xi Junmai and Wang Xuance couldn't help but look at each other, with a look of envy in their eyes.
Although Zuo Shiyi is only from the eighth rank, it is an important position. Because not only did he work beside the prime minister, he had the power to participate in discussing important affairs of the court, but he also often had the opportunity to meet the emperor and give advice to the emperor in person.
As long as you perform well, you will have many opportunities to make meritorious deeds, and you will easily gain the favor of the emperor and soar into the sky.
Since Wang Zi'an, the master, doesn't drink, the banquet actually didn't last long. After Wang Zi'an put down his wine glass and left with Su Feier, four senior brothers, including Ma Zhou, Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui, Although he still had some unfinished thoughts, he still knew the rules and asked his servants to pack their things, get up and leave.
It was finally quiet.
Returning to the backyard, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and looked back at Wu Zetian, who was following suit.
"Xu'er, you can stay in the west wing from now on. If anything happens, just call us——"
Wu Zetian nodded very obediently and returned to her room with her head lowered. Wang Zi'an returned to his room and asked his servants to bring hot water. While soaking his feet, he happily watched the updates sent by his servants.
The fastest updated one is "The Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", which is in charge of Li Yifu and others. It will be almost completed in a few days.
The second one is "Journey to the West", which has just started to be updated. The reason why it is a magic version is because Tang Xuanzang is still living in Chang'an.
Therefore, he pretended that the dynasty was the Song Dynasty.
Nothing else has changed. Although Tang Xuanzang changed from Tang Xuanzang to Song Xuanzang in the book, it seems that it does not affect the excitement of the story.
Having learned the lesson from last time, after he finished writing the general outline of the story this time, he handed it directly to Li Yifu. Li Yifu found out about Wang Zi'an's hobbies and once again collected several famous storytellers in Chang'an City. He combined them with a few classmates he had found who had such hobbies and worked together to create a writing speed that turned out to be very fast.
"Sure enough, this piece of shit like Li Yifu is the one to do this kind of thing. It's affordable and easy to use. It's much better than that scammer like Shangguan Yi -"
As he said that, he threw the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" just delivered today to Su Feier with a look of disgust on his face.
"Look, what kind of bullshit is this written? It doesn't matter if it's written slowly, but it also makes no sense -"
Su Feier took it and looked at it carefully, looking at him with a puzzled look on her face.
"Bachelor Shangguan's writing is very good. His diction is gorgeous and his handwriting is quite elegant..."
Wang Zi’an:……
Summer insects cannot speak of ice!
Come on, forget me.
However, I couldn't help but secretly make up my mind. Next time I write a book, I won't be able to find anything to write about by such a pretentious and incorrigible dog.
Although after his training, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by Shangguan Yi has become as popular as possible, this thing has to be told to no one. For Wang Zi'an, it was a bit unfamiliar.
However, at least I can understand it.
This means that there is no choice. If we let go of the past life and the era when all kinds of things are flying around, this thing would have been deleted from the shelves long ago.
After soaking your feet comfortably.
Wang Zi'an happily held Su Feier in his arms and was about to go to bed. After a busy day, he finally got the opportunity to enjoy the world between two people. It was really not easy.
However, before the people on his side could get over, they heard a gentle knock on the door.
"Master——"
The voice was not loud, and there was still a bit of hesitation.
Wang Zi’an:……
"Xu'er? What's wrong——"
Wang Zi'an turned around, softened his tone, and asked harmoniously.
"Master, I, I can't sleep..."
Wang Zi’an:……
Put on your clothes, pull on your shoes, go over and open the door.
"Come on, come in first -"
Seeing that Wang Zi'an was ready to go to sleep, Wu Zetian wrung her little hands awkwardly and looked down at her toes.
"I'm sorry, Master, it's Xu'er's fault for disturbing your rest -"
Looking at this aggrieved and helpless little guy, Wang Zi'an couldn't laugh or cry.
No matter how powerful Ren is in the future, he is still just a child who has just turned ten.
He reached out and rubbed Wu Zetian's little head.
"It's okay, come on, come in and talk -"
At this time, Su Feier had put on her clothes again and walked over. Seeing Wu Zetian's aggrieved and helpless expression, she suddenly felt a surge of motherly love.
"Can't you sleep alone? Come on, my wife will stay with you today..."
Wu Zetian nodded subconsciously, but then quickly shook his head. While shaking his head, he secretly looked at Wang Zi'an's face.
Wang Zi’an:……
"It's okay, go ahead -"
Wang Zi'an forced out a gentle and approachable smile.
My little Taoist nun was abducted by her unlucky disciple...
What a crime!
Okay, sleeping alone is actually quite good——
Wang Zi'an leaned on the bedside and picked up Shangguan Yi's version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The book was obscure, a bit obscure, but it cured insomnia.
Sure enough, after turning a few pages, Wang Zi'an began to feel sleepy and fell into a sweet dream.
Really dreamland.
Tonight, for some reason, he actually had a ridiculous dream. Several beauties of different types and ages took turns. It wasn't until he woke up in the morning and felt the sticky crotch that he woke up. He secretly spit.
It is unreasonable that a gentleman like me would have such a ridiculous nightmare!
The servants of Chang'an Marquis were a little strange.
The Marquis of my family is acting more and more eclectically now, and even starts taking a bath in the early morning.
"Master——"
Looking at Wu Zetian who was standing obediently in front of him to greet him, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but dodge his eyes slightly, with a gentle smile on his face.
"Come, sit down and eat quickly. I will take you to the Zhenguan Theater later to see the excitement..."
Seeing Ma Zhou, Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai looked puzzled, and Xue Rengui beside them quickly explained a few words. As soon as they heard that the Zhenguan Theater was opened by their master and that it would open today, several people immediately became interested and asked to go with them.
The prince felt very happy and immediately nodded in agreement.
At this time, the servants had already delivered breakfast.
Breakfast is as always, hearty and simple.
The noodles include fried dough sticks, sesame cakes and steamed buns, and the soups include millet porridge and soy milk. Then add a few plates of pickles, a portion of pickled radish, and a portion of broad beans seasoned with cress.
Xue Rengui, his wife and Su Feier were naturally familiar and accustomed to it, but Wu Zetian, Ma Zhou, Wang Xuance, and Xi Junmai were eye-opening. Although they constantly reminded themselves to be reserved, they couldn't be restrained at all because of the delicious food.
The wind and the remaining clouds——
The chef was stunned and served two more portions before finally settling down.
Looking at the large pile of plates in front of him, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
A person from a small family cannot really afford this kind of appetite.
At this time, Ma Zhou, Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai were all slightly embarrassed.
"Sir, the breakfast here is really delicious. My disciple has never had such a delicious breakfast..."
Ma Zhou touched his slightly bulging belly with satisfaction, sighing there.
"If I could have breakfast every day, sir, I wouldn't change it for the prime minister—"
Wang Zi'an kicked him angrily.
"Then don't be an official, just go to my kitchen and be my cook -"
Ma Zhou didn't take it seriously, but felt a little pleased with himself.
Wang Zi’an:……
Could this bitch have awakened some strange attributes?
Chongrenfang is very close to Pingkangfang.
There was no need for a few people to sit down. After breakfast, they walked to the Zhenguan Grand Theater at a leisurely pace.
Not far away, we saw tall buildings draped in red and colorful in the distance.
At this time, although it has not yet opened for business, many people who have learned the news have gathered early.
Although there are constraints from Shilin Evening News, the influence of Datang Evening News has been expanding at an unstoppable speed. Not to mention, in order to expand his influence, Wang Zi'an published a large advertisement in the Tang Evening News for several days to introduce the situation of the Zhenguan Theater.
I saw Wang Zi'an leading a few people over.
The old housekeeper Gu Zhong and the foreign steward Wang Meng, who had been busy here early in the morning, hurriedly came over and invited a few people in. Life was chaotic outside, so Wang Zian took Su Feier inside to drink tea.
But Xue Rengui, Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai and Ma Zhou stayed with a wink and stood at the door to help.
Ma Zhou is relatively experienced in this kind of thing. After all, Rang not only participated in the opening ceremony of Datang Changle Commercial Bank, but also organized the life and production affairs of tens of thousands of refugees in Dongshan.
At this time, it is even easier to handle this, a piece of cake.
Gu Zhong and Wang Meng, who were so busy, were full of praise.
The steamed buns include pork, donkey, venison, and leek and egg. There are many varieties.
