Chapter five hundred and thirty third, night talk in the pub
In the bright stove, the girls continued to be busy, and the teenagers also turned chopping firewood into fun, walking eastward to another kitchen in Gao Xiang. In the corner, Ma Wen and Wu Sitou did not lift the firewood to wash vegetables, doing things within their ability, but it seemed to be outside of joy. Because they were unable to cut out the mad dog and mad cow and other sword techniques.
These two teenagers who should have entered the playboys according to their father's footprints. One father was exiled and the whole family had to learn to restrain themselves. The other family was still stable but because of Luan Ying's rise, he had to consider himself. During the days when the generations of the declining mansions remained unsuccessful, dragons and phoenixes suddenly jumped out. This shocked and confused the two teenagers, and had to think about themselves and turned into a proposition.
Brother Ying can do it, why can’t he do it?
With this doubt, they tried to approach Luan Ying and his confidant, and what the teenagers did and what they did, so they were here to help.
Gao Xiang and others were not surprised, nor did they think that Ma Wen and Wu Si wanted to get close to people like him. There were two more strange faces in the yard, so they naturally had to ask questions. One was a relative of the Luan family and the other was an old friend of the Luan family. They should help them. Gao Xiang even took the initiative to arrange work and cook dinner for the people here during the meals. He also called Ma Wen and Wu Si to come and eat.
The two thanked each other.
After getting up, Luan Jing began to send guests. Some relatives did not have car sedans at home. They hired car sedans when they came, and Luan Jing was responsible for delivering them to their homes when they left. Some colleagues did not have car sedans at home, so they came on foot and were drunk, and Luan Jing was responsible for delivering them to their homes. In this way, he could also hide some alcohol and as the master, he had to stay awake.
He was wearing a snow coat and acted as a coachman. The family was really short of staff. The carriage was empty and he sent relatives and colleagues to him one by one, and his father-in-law and his colleagues. He was very busy. After the second update, the banquet at home was apart from Yun Zhan, Gao Mingying and their respective subordinates, and only the Marquis of Qinghe, and the Marquis of Linjiang were still there.
Yun Zhan waved to let Luan Jing over: "You don't have to worry about us, it's still early."
Luan Jing smiled: "Grandma Ying said that she would prepare 110 beds at home, so please just eat with confidence."
Yun Zhan glanced at the main hall. After the guests left one after another, he asked the Kyoto escorts and the Ministry of Justice to move in. It was clear that he got about 300 guests. The main hall removed the screen and placed thirty tables without crowding. There were twelve people on each table, only one of which was an official from the Ministry of Justice. He was persuaded to drink by the other eleven Kyoto escorts. It looked a bit miserable today. And the total total was only about 400 people.
Just looking at this scene, Yun Zhan smiled and then replied to Luan Jing: "I will arrange the rest of the accommodation. You can go to the kitchen and see who is in charge of it now?"
Before Luan Jing spoke, he gave a thumbs up: "I am now in the kitchen of my house, Luo's mother in Guifu, and there is another kitchen that the second-year high school girl still cares about, which is really amazing."
Gao Mingying laughed: "That's my daughter."
Yun Zhan was not polite either: "Sure, then that's it. Let's tell your parents, just rest, it's still early." His eyes were swaying toward the side of the wall of the main hall, which was the good wine he had just asked to get from home.
Luan Jing did not dare to disobey his words, so he came out to speak to his mother's main room. Hou Qinghe smiled and said, "They are still happy and have a good amount of alcohol. We dare not compare, and we don't dare to go forward even more if we toast."
Prince Qinghe Hou shouted: "Who wants to drink? I'll come, I'll come... to accompany you,"
Mrs. Qinghe Hou, the mother and daughter of Cui, were here, and showed contempt. Mrs. Qinghe Hou said, "We went home and we took away the drunken one."
Mrs. Marquis of Nanyang said, "This is not OK. I have been busy all day. I promised to get a few delicious dishes later and let us thank you very much."
Mrs. Qinghe Hou said that he would eat another day, so you should rest early if you are tired for a day. Mrs. Linjiang Hou said the same thing, so Luan Jing gave his mother-in-law's family and Wu Tianxiong gave his mother and wife.
When Wu Tianxiong went out, he thought that his son had gone where he went. When someone asked him to find him, Wu Si came over: "I'm helping to clean up, what did my father ask me to do?"
Wu Tianxiong looked a little happy, but he still taught his son another lesson: "This is not considered improvement, this is supposed to be. Look at Brother Ying, that is called improvement."
He asked Wu Si to stay for help and take care of his grandfather, saying that he would come back to pick up his grandfather and grandson home later.
The carriage from the Qinghe Marquis Mansion was kept for Qinghe Marquis to go home. Luan Jing still used his own carriage to send his mother-in-law, and his uncle and sister-in-law and Feng Qing went back. The carriage went outside the second gate of the Qinghe Marquis Mansion. When he saw Feng Qing get off the car, Luan Jing woke up in the north wind. He seemed to be able to see Feng Qing in the morning, but he couldn't see his niece in the afternoon and evening. Where was she in such a lot of time?
This made him look like a pot when he returned. In his decades, he saw so many guests at home. He could meet guests with just a move. If someone broke into Guisheng Feng Qing and was together, wouldn’t this be a slander for Brother Ying?
It's outrageous, the great rebellion, the sky will not tolerate it, and it will be so anger... Luan Jing sorted out the words in his mind, rushed home with his head, intending to ask clearly and settle the score with Guisheng.
It is said that the person who was riding the car did not work hard, but the more he thought about it, the more he became, the more he became angry, and the snow made it difficult for the carriage to move. Before he walked two streets, he stopped the carriage and was still breathing. He actually heard Wu Tianxiong's voice in the wind and snow: "Two more dishes,"
Luan Jing thought he was so angry that he was hallucinating, but turned around and saw that this was a small restaurant he and Wu Tianxiong loved to come. Luan Jing got out of the car and pushed the door open. It was cold and late at night, so there was no one in the store. Wu Tianxiong sat alone and poured the wine himself.
"How can I save my family and drink my own?" Luan Jing was amused.
Wu Tianxiong also laughed: "I dare not drink at home, for fear of losing my manners. Your uncle didn't dare to drink too much in the morning, so he started to increase the amount of supper. I'll take a few sips by myself and I'll go back to your house to pick up my father later."
Luan Jing said: "Come to my house to drink, why spend your own money?"
"The little wizard is here, Gao Mingying is here, and the Kyoto escort generals who took us back then, I can't drink it." Wu Tianxiong asked the shopkeeper to take the cup and poured Luan Jing a cup: "Come on, I'll celebrate your brother Ying's both civil and military, and one talent."
Luan Jing smiled and said, "You know that I have nothing to do here, I can't help him, and I can't teach him either. I am so vain that I am such a capable son."
Wu Tianxiong teased him: "Your ability is to tease others. Alas, I said, Qi is so beautiful, it's not something I intended to see. I must have seen her more today, it's so beautiful. Did you like her back then?"
Luan Jing pursed his lips. Who he wanted to tease back then? Even if he forgot it for a while, he could remember it. This matter cannot be mentioned again. It is best to have a bad belly. But, he changed the topic: "I would like to give you a cup. I heard that you have been in the yamen recently and have made up several regulations."
Wu Tianxiong hehe, but he didn't continue to be proud, but sighed: "Oh, do you still remember the second wife I married?"
Luan Jing said: "I remember that every day I said that Ping Wife is actually a concubine. At first I was angry when I heard this, but later she disappeared. Sometimes I think about her words and remind myself to be kind to Qi, be kind to Brother Ying, and not let others slander them randomly."
Wu Tianxiong said: "Me too. She has been gone for three months. I am still quite angry. My husband and wife are here, but my son is a filial son. My family has never treated her badly. Where can I reason about it? But one day I turned around and I understand."
Luan Jing was curious: "I understand that it has something to do with your progress in the yamen?"
"It's so relevant. Didn't she say that her wife is a concubine every day? What you and I say every day is that she is a traitor in the yamen. There are other traitors in the yamen. It's true that the ninth-rank official position is the lowest, but the traitor in the yamen is a master, right?"
Luan Jing said with a shout, and his eyes focused.
Wu Tianxiong said: "I figured it out. If you don't do your own politics, you have to do your own politics. If you are born as a person, you look down on yourself first. You can't blame others for looking down on you. I, Wu Tianxiong, is an adult and an official, I want to do what an official should do and what an official should say. Now, the regulations that should be put into place are like a second kick hurting someone. It came straight into my mind. I got it right and wrote it out. If I didn't dare to submit it to me, now I think I must submit it. I am an official, and I have a copy of this yamen."
"Gao, it's really high." Luan Jing poured wine with excitement: "Yes, this is the self-realization of identity written in the book, just like we were destined to be the prince when we were born."
Wu Tianxiong took the conversation: "I have heard my grandfather complain about the family since I was a child. When I heard my father say this, I would give up, and the same is true for you."
"Yes, I think so too. Anyway, it's not mine to show up. If the mansion is here, there will definitely be one official position. If you don't eat, drink, or play, why don't you wait? You can't play when you have a yamen."
The two looked at each other: "Oh! A lot of time is wasted, and the middle age is sad."
Wu Tianxiong had a glass of wine and started talking again: "Look at your brother Ying, who lived with others for two years. When he was in the Mid-Autumn Festival, I wondered that he had not been to school for a few years. The old master, who had not won many years of studying in his life for decades, was that your brother Ying went to school in those years and went northwest for two years, and then won the top scorer directly. This major event was beautifully completed. Let the elders at home feel more at ease, otherwise he would have turned his hair white with the end of the exam."
Luan Jing smiled: "It seems that he is late to go to Meng, but in fact he recognizes his words early. Qi is a scholar. You are the brother, you won't laugh at me. Qi is better than me."
Wu Tianxiong sighed: "So, your brother Ying will spend a few years to go to school. He will not delay going to Northwest to learn martial arts and pass the liberal arts exam. It's only a few years since this child is fifteen years old this year? All the big things are done?"
Luan Jing smiled: "Martial arts were guided by Duke Huguo before his start of the country. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, not to learn it in the northwest. Brother Ying must have fought in the military camp in the northwest and was heartbroken. He felt that martial arts was not difficult. As a result, he relied on the help of the Wei Palace, the Li Palace, and someone from the Xian Palace came to help. In addition, there were the Baoguo County Prince Mansion, the Jincheng County Prince Mansion... and his brothers,"
Wu Tianxiong raised his hand and interjected: "Gao Mingying also went to the arena and lost his official position as a Shangshu. I was really worried about him those days, but he did nothing, and now he is still a Shangshu."
He wiped his mouth and then he still stuttered: "You can't accept it, you can't be a capable person, no, you're worried."
After tidying up the clothes, Wu Tianxiong sat upright: "Old Luan, can you still learn ability when I look like this?" Luan Jing looked carefully and cheered: "Yes, that's of course."
Wu Tianxiong was so happy: "Lao Luan, you and I will compete, do you dare?"
Luan Jing smiled and said, "Wu Tanhua's father, do you think I dare? But can you say that you are ahead? What are you going to compete?"
Wu Tianxiong talked a little a little, and twisted his head: "That literary top scholar Wu Tanhua is not that good at you. What are you doing when your son is studying and practicing martial arts? You don't know."
Luan Jing, who was hooked, also sighed: "Yes, Guisheng is my son. Brother Ying studied, his mother taught him to compete for family property, Brother Ying practiced martial arts, and his mother taught him to compete for family property. So you see, Brother Ying is the glory of my family, and Guisheng is the sorrow of my family."
Wu Tianxiong said: "Then you still have glory, and my family is also sad. Well, you and I are the fathers to set an example for them. We will compare ourselves with our business to see who will be promoted first, and we will be promoted based on our ability and will not bring money."
Luan Jing said: "Of course I have to promise you, but it's better than business. It depends on who is in charge of the business, not as good as promotion."
Wu Tianxiong was very grateful: "Brother, you are considerate brother, I am. You have Brother Ying. Now you are getting better and you will be promoted faster than me."
When Luan Jing heard this, he quickly looked at the wind and snow outside the door panel. Seeing the snowflakes coming in through the crack of the door did not affect him. He was relieved to be so happy.
He didn't think that his father was noble by his son, but was afraid that if he wanted to be promoted, would it hinder Luan Ying's ability?
The playboy began to think like this again, thinking that it would be best if he never promoted in his life, so as not to see that his family suddenly became excited, which would affect Brother Ying's ability.
These two former playboys agreed to compete fairly in official affairs and not be promoted.
There was still something to drink, Luan Jinghuichao said that all the wine should be above him today, but Wu Tianxiong did not argue. The two of them drove their carriage back to the Nanyang Marquis Mansion and looked at the main hall. The wine was in high spirits here and there was no sign of giving in.
When I went to the main room to see Marquis of Nanyang Linjiang, I saw Luan Ying and his family delivering vegetables. Now the matter of entertaining guests is undertaken by Luan Ying, Yunlong, He Jie. At this time, Yunlong came with the vegetables from another kitchen. Brother Jie was joking with his sisters in the kitchen, saying that he was afraid that they would be sleepy and had a mistake in cooking.
Wu Tianxiong felt that he could not really envy, and no matter how much he envyed, he could not learn it. Looking up at the snowy night, the sky of the Nanyang Marquis Mansion was deep and deep, and it became much bigger.
He muttered: "Just having such a child will change a lot."
The Marquis of Nanyang prepared wine and invited Marquis of Qinghe, Linjiang, Marquis of Linjiang, to serve several relatives who had done the most. Luan Jing replied, leaving Wu Tianxiong behind, and hurried back to the study to see where Guisheng was.
Guisheng was already asleep, and Luan Jing asked his family, and the family said, "Brother, I was washing dishes and utensils today. Guisheng should have been in the study, right?"
Luan Jing lowered his face and felt that there was no need to ask any questions. Guisheng was not under his care. Mr. Xixi, who invited him, also served the table with wine, and was drunk at noon. Will he stay in the study well?
This is a son who follows his own, grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather...he follows himself.
After having a conversation with Wu Tianxiong, Luan Jing gave up the idea of coming back to settle the score with Guisheng, so he should blame himself.
