The banquet started soon, and the five of us gathered together. I was excited and nervous at the same time. The other four looked similar to me, but Ning Boyang seemed calm. Not long after, Liao Jianzhong came out in casual clothes, and there were indeed four hundred households beside him. He cleared his throat and said: "Brothers, we have five new brothers in Jinyiwei today. I am very happy to congratulate you. Commander Jing Mou and Master Murong agreed, and Liao prepared a banquet for everyone, firstly to welcome them to join the Jinyiwei, and secondly, I often go out of the capital and haven't been with you all for a long time. We are all brothers tonight and we will not return until we are drunk." Everyone shouted hello, and Liao Jianzhong led the four hundred households back to the main hall, and invited us to come in and sit with them. Two more tables were placed in the main hall to entertain other guests, but they were filled with dishes and drinks, but no one came.
Liao Jianzhong looked smiling, different from his usual seriousness, and the four hundred households had different expressions. Hua Shichun was serious and always liked to lower his head. Although Gu Dayou smiled, his eyes were sharp, and Yue Ziqian She is fair and clean, like a scholar, but her eyes are deep. But Ji Maotong was born with a smile, two big ears, gentle eyes, and a friendly look.
Liao Jianzhong did not let the five of us sit together, but sat mixed with them. I was next to Hua Shichun and Ji Maotong. This way, I was indeed a bit reserved.
Liao Jianzhong obliged and opened the first glass of wine. He said casually, and we drank together. I don't drink on weekdays, but my throat was really burning. As soon as I put down my glass, Yoshimotochi said seriously: "You guys have two more drinks. Mr. Qianhu made a toast, and you must return three glasses." We had no choice but to drink again, and felt that our faces were getting hot. The other four looked normal. Several households held back their laughter, but I realized that I had been fooled. Liao Jianzhong also laughed and said, "You always make fun of the little brothers!" Ji Maotong said with a smile, "It is natural to respect our seniors. Back then, we That’s how I came here.”
Everyone laughed, and Ning Boyang suddenly filled a glass of wine, stood up and said: "This subordinate is new here. I will ask five adults to take care of you in the future. This glass of wine is from me to you." He said Hold on and drink it all in one gulp. The five adults did not touch the cup, which made Ning Boyang a little embarrassed. Liao Jianzhong suddenly smiled and said: "When you enter the door of Jinyiwei, you are the brother of Jinyiwei. You can't talk about taking care of him, but it is inevitable to share joys and sorrows. You are among the five. The smartest ones should be more practical and work hard. Drink this glass of wine yourself!"
Ning Boyang claimed yes, and Yue Ziqian stood up and said, "I'm not very talented, and I've always been a big drinker. Today, I'm going to toast to Liao Jianzhong first." He only toasted Liao Jianzhong, and the other three didn't drink. Only Ji Maotong smiled and said, "Old The third is that he is smart. He can’t drink well, so he hid early.”
Yue Ziqian drank wine, his face turned red, and he said with a smile: "The fifth brother is too talkative, and the second brother is not angry, what are you mixing in?" He looked at him holding the pork knuckle and chewing it, and then said: "It's a good thing that we have small appetites, otherwise the table would be full None of the dishes will satisfy your hunger."
From their words, I guessed that they were five sworn brothers. Gu Dayou looked at us and said: "Ning Boyang has already made a toast, should you four drink one too?" Tan Sheng sat next to him, stood up and said: "My subordinate Tan Sheng, thanks to Liu Jin My father-in-law recommends that if you can enter the Jinyi Guard, you will definitely follow the five adults in the future, no matter what." Tan Sheng is a fat man with a big belly. Gu Dayou sat next to him and couldn't help but smile and touched the wine glass. But seeing that the other four people did not move, he also stepped back. Liao Jianzhong picked up the cup and said, "We respect Eunuch Liu!" Gu Dayou quickly took the cup and everyone drank together.
The wine was drunk quickly. Hardy and Gu Dachun spoke simply. Hardy came from Mongolia and seemed to have relied on the recommendation of the Datong general. Gu Dachun seemed to have some background and spoke very normally. It was me in a flash. To be honest, although I talk a lot on weekdays, on this occasion, I really don’t know what to say. At the same time, I feel that I have drunk too much and my head is a little dizzy. Hua Shichun next to me is almost silent. Still lowering my head, the table felt a little deserted for a while, and I was so nervous that I started sweating. Ji Maotong looked at me and then looked at Liao Jianzhong. Liao Jianzhong kept staring at me and nodded. Jim Maotong said: "Zhang Ying is the most sensitive person among the new brothers and has made great contributions. I believe everyone will read the Di newspaper." Here we are. So, let’s toast Zhang Ying with this glass of wine today.”
With that said, he stood up. I was startled, stood up quickly, clasped my fists and said, "This is a subordinate of Zhesha. How can I be so virtuous and capable? I don't dare to take credit. If Lord Liao Qianhu hadn't taken action, I'm afraid something would have happened. I respect you all." Sir, you will work hard to move forward. Besides, I have studied medicine. If you have headaches and fever, you can let me give it a try!"
Gu Dayou smiled and said: "Haha, my little brother knows medical skills, that's great. We often go out and sleep in the open air, so headaches and brain fever are inevitable, but we can't bring a doctor. This is great. With you here in the future, we Brother, you can feel more at ease." Yue Ziqian said quietly: "Brother Zhang is young, how many years have you studied medicine?" I heard that he was not too trusting in his words, so I hurriedly said: "I have been studying medicine since I was twelve years old. Five years.”
Liao Jianzhong asked: "Is it a family tradition?" He saw me nodding and said: "That's good. There are doctors in Fusi, Beizhen. If you have nothing to do, you can go and have a look. Their medical skills are still good, but they are not as good as those of the imperial doctors. It's better than the doctors in the general market!" I quickly said yes, and Jimao said: "In this case, Beizhen Fusi not only has a brother, but also has an extra doctor, so let's drink this glass of wine together."
After finishing the drink, everyone drank it one after another. I saw Ning Boyang's eyes looking strange. Hua Shichun, who had been silent all the time, said: "Brother Zhang has indeed made great contributions. He is very good at hitting birds with flying rocks. I heard that this afternoon..." I thought he would tell me about my rescue of Miss Ning Xi. With a little excitement in his heart, he couldn't help but glance at Liao Jianzhong. Liao Jianzhong was very interested and motioned Hua Shichun to continue.
When Hua Shichun was about to stand up and explain, someone came from outside to report that the housekeeper from Shouning Hou Mansion was here and brought fine wine, fruits and vegetables. Shouning Hou is Miss Ningxi's father, the current queen's brother Zhang Yanling, and his younger brother Zhang Heling is Jianchang Hou. Emperor Hongzhi had only one wife, so the Zhang family was favored and had everything they needed. His position of power was unparalleled. Many dignitaries and dignitaries in the court were obedient to the Zhang family. It was said that even a housekeeper of the Zhang family, even a fifth-rank official in the capital, would not dare to raise his head when he met him. The Zhang family has always only entered the palace, but now when they came to our small Beizhen Fusi, Liao Jianzhong was really stunned, looked around and said, "What's going on?"
As Liao Jianzhong spoke, he did not dare to neglect, and stood up to greet me. Hua Shichun followed closely behind, whispering a few words in a low voice. Liao Jianzhong turned his head and looked at me, with a lot of approval in his eyes. I guessed that he knew what happened in the afternoon, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
The housekeeper of Shouning Hou Mansion walked in carelessly, followed by two servants carrying a load of things. "Old Ge, what brings you here? Come and take a seat, we are in time to drink!" Liao Jianzhong bowed his hands and saluted. Butler Ge had a smile on his face, his plump face was almost split into flowers, and his slit-like eyes blinked. Blinking, he said: "If you had the intention to invite me to drink, you would have told me a long time ago. Why do you have to do this with me? I didn't expect you to come back. If I had known, you would have come here a long time ago."
The two of them looked very familiar and laughed unconsciously. Liao Jianzhong invited him to come inside and take a seat. Butler Ge waved his hand and said: "We don't have to be so polite. Tonight is your Zhenfu Division's party. I won't participate. Please invite me to tea someday. There are many things going on in the Marquis's Mansion. Let's stop gossiping. There are two things coming today. One day, the young lady is in danger and your brothers come to the rescue. The young lady is very grateful. Let me send you something to express my gratitude. Secondly, when the Marquis learned about this, he was very angry. Under the emperor's feet, in broad daylight, someone wanted to do something evil. Therefore, I have to ask you to help and catch that guy. Come on, Mingzheng’s punishment! For you, this matter is a piece of cake, just arrange for a brother to catch that guy!"
He said it very lightly, as if it were as simple as picking something out of a bag, but Liao Jianzhong had a serious look on his face, and even claimed that he was right, saying: "Who is so bold and dares to disturb the head of the Marquis." Guan Ge said: "Shuntian Mansion is not going to happen. I have to trouble you to come forward, who makes you the number one imperial guard in the capital!" Liao Jianzhong shook his head repeatedly and said with a smile: "You are putting me on the fire! If you can't do it, I won't let you eat it."
Manager Ge kept smiling, and finally cupped his hands and said: "For Brother Liao, this matter is a piece of cake. I still have something to do, so you continue and don't delay Mr. Hou's important events. I'll wait for the good news!" Liao Jianzhong hurriedly waited for good news! He said: "Thank you, brother, please reply to the Marquis. I will take care of this matter. I will catch the criminal within ten days and send him to the Marquis's house to be punished!"
"Okay, with your words, my face will light up! I won't disturb you for drinking, let's say goodbye first!" Butler Ge still smiled and led people out. Liao Jianzhong was about to see him off, but he pushed him back. Liao Jianzhong asked Hua Shichun to see off the guests.
