Everyone sat down again, and Hua Shichun stayed outside. Maybe it was because of drinking, or maybe it was a gift from the Marquis' Mansion. Everyone was very excited and looked at each other. Yue Ziqian blushed, stood up, and said loudly : "You must drink the wine sent by the Lord Marquis. This is the great glory of Beizhen Fusi. However, I just don't know which brother did the good deed! Come forward and let us see you!"
Everyone looked around, but no one got up. Yue Ziqian said: "What? Don't you dare to admit it? All of the brothers in Jinyiwei are heroes. If a man dares to do something, he will do something!" When he spoke, his tongue was a little bit... Roll up.
Gu Dayou was still chewing on the pork knuckle, his face was shiny, and he smiled and said: "Third brother drank too much! With this amount of alcohol, he is running wild. However, our brothers have indeed earned face, and the eldest brother has taught well! Hey, look. The new brothers who have been promoted over the years are like little tigers, and they seem to see us eighteen brothers again! "When he was talking, he couldn't help but glance at Tan Sheng. Tan Sheng listened in fascination with his mouth grinning. I I could see that Gu Dayou was a little contemptuous, but I heard him say: "In the battle at Helan Mountain, Brother Liao led us, eighteen guards in royal robes, with so much heroism, they blocked two thousand Tatars and killed forty-two Tatar masters. , scared the shit out of them, how happy it was! What a pity! It became less and less interesting later on!" Ji Maotong frowned and said, "The second one is talking too much again, why are you bringing up those things!" Gu Dayou nodded hurriedly and said : "Yeah, I'm happy today, don't mention these things!"
Liao Jianzhong's expression didn't change much, he just smiled, his eyes still inadvertently fell on the two empty tables next to him, and sighed: "I have been the eldest brother for twenty years, but sometimes things inevitably go wrong. , it’s all brothers fighting for face, but I’m really proud today! Haha, it would be better if Lord Murong is here.” Ji Maotong smiled bitterly and said: “If Brother Murong comes, we won’t be able to bear it, he doesn’t know how to laugh. He always had a straight face, and his drinking capacity was average, about the same as Commander Mou. When he and I went out on errands, we were hungry all day and night, and finally had a meal, but all we had was vegetarian food. Brother Murong is too particular about health, so we guys Ordinary people, can't bear it, can't stand it. But recently, Commander Mou and Ye Qianhu are checking the list of prisoners in the imperial prison, and Lao Yue knows about this!" Liao Jianzhong said "Oh" and said nothing more.
Yue Ziqian shouted for a long time, but still no one answered. Some of them were sarcastic. When they heard Ji Maotong mentioned him, they took over the conversation and said, "Don't mention it. Ye Qianhu is very serious about his work. It makes my head big up. If Not because he has a close relationship with his eldest brother, I really want to leave him alone, but his younger brother is very friendly. I heard that Master Mou may have to leave!"
I remember that Eunuch Xiao Ma mentioned a few things to Liao Jianzhong and Master Murong, and they must be true. After hearing this, Liao Jianzhong waved his hand and said: "Ye Qianhu has worked with us for many years, and we all know his character. Don't gossip. Today is a gathering of brothers, and some brothers have made great contributions, not to mention that we are all doing bad things. , just follow the instructions. Even if there is no clear instruction, we still have to respect Mr. Mou. We don’t want to mention these things, but I don’t know which brother has made a big show of our Zhenfu Division. For many years, the Zhenfu Division has always been the little daughter-in-law. , I am sincerely happy today! Who is it, who is it?" Yue Ziqian, Ji Maotong and others also echoed loudly, and the hall became lively again.
After hearing these words, I just felt my face getting hot. I was very naughty when I was a child. I don’t know how many times my father beat me. My grandfather is a strict person. Although he loves me, even if I do one thing right, he will only nod at most. But he refused to say one more thing. Now when I came to the Zhenfu Division, so many people were boasting and their hearts were surging. I saw that everyone was looking outside and the noise continued. I was about to stand up, but I saw Liao Jianzhong shaking his head slightly at me. After a slight hesitation, he did not stand up. Someone outside had already said: "It's Xiang Chong, brother Xiang! Well done!"
It was Hua Shichun who shouted from outside and quickly pulled Xiang Chong in with the same blush! Everyone was suddenly shocked, and some people said in surprise: "Xiang Chong? Brother Xiang!" They clearly couldn't believe it, but Liao Jianzhong filled a glass of wine, walked forward with a smile, and said: "Well done to Xiang Chong, you can help Zhenfu Si We are so happy that we have won the glory. As a brother, I don’t take care of you on weekdays, but you are very proud. This glass of wine is for you. Come, let’s drink it together!”
Xiang Chongcheng took the drink in panic, and his usually sharp speech became slurred. Liao Jianzhong patted him on the back, raised his head to Xiang Chong, and drank the glass of wine. Everyone cheered, Xiang Chong's eyes were shining, he looked around, apparently looking for me, and said: "This credit is not mine alone, and..." Liao Jianzhong reached out and patted him, and said: "Brother Xiang, come in. I have been working hard for many years, and I will be raised to a small flag from now on!"
Everyone applauded again. Xiang Chong could hardly believe it. His eyes were shining and the corners of his mouth were trembling. He didn't speak for a long time, but he kept being persuaded to drink. After a few glasses of wine, Xiang Chong's face turned redder and his steps became staggering.
I'm a little confused. It is said that my contribution is not small, so why don't you mention me? I couldn't figure it out, so I had to drink and laugh with everyone. Tan Sheng held the wine glass, drinking and laughing. Hardy also laughed along stupidly, but Ning Boyang looked around with disdain. Jimo Tong next to me kept looking at me, and there were many things in his eyes, but I couldn't understand it. He seemed to understand my thoughts, but said lightly: "How can Xiang Chong's three-legged cat's Kung Fu save people? However, chance Coincidence, courage is commendable!" Yue Ziqian smiled and said: "Don't believe this, Silun's ability is similar to that of the elder brother. We entered the door together, but he just didn't get up. It's not that the elder brother has a good chance, but this is almost the same." The two of them laughed, and I had no choice but to laugh along with them.
When the voice calmed down, Hua Shichun said: "Since I earned the glory from my brother, then the wine from the Marquis' Mansion should be returned to my brother! Brother Xiang, this jar of wine is at your disposal."
Xiang Chong's eyes were already red, and his voice was high-pitched, and he said: "Brother Hua, Xiang Chong is today thanks to brothers. Let's all drink this wine together!" Everyone cheered.
Everyone opened the wine at Hou Ye's Mansion. Although there was not much, the aroma of the wine still spread throughout the hall. The twenty or thirty people at the table were all drunk in an instant. I got a glass, and I was already a little tipsy. I came to persuade you to drink, how could I not drink? In the end, I was too drunk, my eyes were heavy, and I almost fell asleep on the table. A clear voice from Liao Jianzhong came to my ears: Zhang Ying drank too much... And I closed my eyes. At that moment, I clearly saw Yue Ziqian, who was sleeping soundly beside me, opening his eyes and looking at me.
I don’t know how long I slept after being drunk. In short, when I woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day. It was quiet outside, except for the sound of birds chirping from time to time. Although I woke up, I still had a severe headache and a burning sensation in my chest. It seems that I drank a lot of this wine. I struggled to get up and sweated all over, but I felt much better. Someone had come over a long time ago, holding a bowl of honey water and said: "Brother Zhang, you are awake, drink it quickly." Some honey water to relieve the hangover!”
It was Hardy. He smiled and handed me the honey water and wanted to feed me. I nodded sheepishly, took the honey water, drank it, and felt much better. Hardy said: "You have slept all day. Liao Qianhu has been here twice." I looked envious at him and said: "I really haven't drank much, and I don't want to drink like this! Thank you for taking care of me!"
Hardy chuckled and said: "Liao Qianhu said, after you wake up, eat some porridge, and then go to his place. He has something to do with you!" Then he added, "It's good for you to be a drunk cat. Come back and make a fuss." Just sleep. Xiang Xiaoqi was extremely drunk last night! He talked nonsense, danced, told a lot of old stories, made a lot of jokes, drank a lot of wine, and vomited several times. Staggeringly, I followed Gu Baihu out on errands."
I knew that Xiang Chong must have been so excited when he got the promotion he dreamed of that he lost consciousness and said unconsciously: "He is so happy. Why is it so urgent that he has to go on errands so early in the morning?" Hardy said: " It must be something related to the Marquis's Mansion!" I suddenly remembered, guessing that Liao Jianzhong was looking for me because of this, so I hurriedly said, "I'm going to see Liao Qianhu right now."
As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw Ning Boyang coming in a hurry. He looked at me and said with a smile: "You didn't drink less last night, how about it? Is other people's wine good?" I was stunned and didn't understand what he meant. He said: "It's okay, I'm a little dizzy!" Ning Boyang asked me where I was going, and I told the truth that I was going to see Liao Jianzhong. He looked a little bad, said haha, and went into the house.
I didn’t quite understand Ning Boyang’s behavior. Later, I thought, he had some prejudices against me. Most likely, we were both newcomers to Jin Yiwei, and I was from a humble background. Jin Yiwei’s so-called “favor” for me made him a little unbearable. Well, he is actually quite arrogant.
