After drinking for a while, everyone's topic turned to the officialdom. This Li Lei is a Bachelor of Han University with a first-rank title. Among the people sitting, he has the highest position. Everyone seems to regard him as the leader.

Everyone complained to him that the Han officials were quite excluded in the court, and it was not as good as the Manchus gaining power, but Li Lei didn't comment. Killed many Manchu officials, and some were implicated, and lost power in the court. Oboi was the one who excluded Han officials the most among the original four ministers, and was beheaded by our new king and Lord Wei. He glanced at me as he spoke, and continued: "Now there is only one of the four ministers left, Ye Bilong. As the head, there is not much strength yet. But our emperor seems to have a tendency to reuse Han officials."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard it, and hurriedly asked what happened. I also heard that what he said made sense, so I waited with my ears open.

Regardless of everyone's urging, Li Lei took a sip of wine slowly, and then said: "Master Wei's promotion is very self-explanatory."Everyone was also puzzled and looked at me one after another.

Li Lei went on to say: "Since the new king came to the throne, we have not done any meritorious service. The government has been controlled by four ministers. Now the emperor is in charge of the government and has weakened the power of the ministers. However, Mr. Wei has been punished because of the Oboi case. He made a great contribution and was promoted by the emperor to be a minister, this is the emperor's use of Mr. Wei to balance the power in the court."

At this time, all the officials woke up like a dream, with smiles on their faces. Li Lei clasped his fists at me and said, "Master Wei's future is limitless. All Han officials are counting on you." A table of officials The attitude at the moment is very different from when I first entered the door, and everyone happily toasted to me.

I just feel that my scalp is numb. When did I become the savior of Han officials? I have no interest in their struggle between Man and Han, and I don’t agree with the fact that officials have a distinction between Man and Han. Some escape here.I saw a group of people vying to toast me, but I didn't know how to avoid it.

Li Lei was also shrewd. It seemed that I didn't want to drink too much, so he said: "Master Wei will be drunk after a while after drinking like this. How about we make a drinking order?" I seemed to have caught the straw, and said quickly: "Li The second your lord speaks, let's make a drinking order, and the loser will drink." Suddenly remembered something, and said: "Then ask Mr. Li to come up with a question." This time I learned a good lesson and asked others to come up with a question. That way I won't be ashamed of myself.

The others had no choice but to accept the proposal and looked at Li Lei one after another.

When it was time for Li Lei to show off his knowledge again, he closed his eyes slightly, shook his head twice, and said, "Let's each write a poem, in the first sentence there must be an ancient person, in the second sentence there must be An allusion, add the name of Huafeng Building in the third sentence, and describe the drunken appearance of this ancient man in the last sentence. Whoever can’t tell will be punished with three glasses of wine, how about it?”

Everyone applauded together, but I was dumbfounded. I only knew that I would not be able to ask questions, but now I realize that there are many more I don’t know. This Li Lei is really tricky enough to make everyone punch hard. I can still deal with the stick, what kind of poetry do I do?I have no choice but to listen to how other people do it. It shouldn't be too embarrassing to compare the gourd painting.

Li Lei said with a smile: "I have a question, who should come first?" But he looked at me with a smile in his eyes, I was startled, and everyone shouted in unison: "Of course Master Wei will invite you first."

I jumped up and shouted: "The big thing is not good, I'm going to have diarrhea, so let's go first, everyone is leaving." I rushed out without looking back.Laughter was faintly heard behind.

This Li Lei is really shameful. He knows that I have no knowledge, but he has come up with such a difficult question to embarrass me. If there is a chance, he will sweep the toilet and let him write poems on shit. This is called two poems and one shit. .

As soon as I left the door, just in time for Prince Kang to come back excitedly, he saw me and asked, "Why don't you drink in the room, what are you doing out there?" I shook my head and sighed, "I'm writing poetry inside, I don't know how to do it." I will be fined to drink, I can only shit, I can't write poems." Prince Kang laughed loudly and said: "How difficult is this, see how I can avenge you, and I must get them drunk one by one." I He said with a smile, "Don't be cheap, Mr. Li Lei. He doesn't count if he can't be overthrown." Prince Kang said: "Don't worry brother, you can just find someone to carry him later."

After bidding farewell to Prince Kang, I came to the lobby on the first floor, and was greeted by Li Yapeng, who said excitedly, "My lord, someone has come to book our reserved table." I was overjoyed and asked, "Who came to book it? Li Yapeng said: "There are more than one family. Someone came to inquire about it yesterday. Today, nine families came to place an order. The reservations are for tomorrow and the next two days. They are all famous rich men, and there is also a Lord Baylor." Be obedient, the least one table is worth 700 taels of silver. I have already started the kitchen to prepare the dishes." I smiled and said, "Okay, well done, remember, you must wait well."

In the days that followed, I had nothing else to do except go to the study to serve Kangxi, and occasionally went to the restaurant, and there was Li Yapen, so I didn't need to worry about it at all.The business of the restaurant is getting better day by day, and I don't know who sent the news. It probably has something to do with the Han officials who were drinking that day. It is said that the emperor went to Huafeng Building on the opening day, and Huafeng Building reserved a room for the emperor. Will eat there often.For a while, the capital city seemed to be bombed, and this topic was discussed in the streets and alleys, and it seemed to be a good story.Officials and gentry in the capital are all proud of being able to have a meal at Huafeng Building, and those big businessmen, local rich men, and nouveau riche from Shanxi flock to it, and spend money when they see the opportunity.What's more, there are some official ladies, rich widows whose husbands have died, who reserve a room and eat for a day. According to old man Li, these women come here with their family's money to waste money, just for the sake of The emperor came here, hoping to meet the real dragon emperor one day, but was accidentally caught by the emperor, and has been on the throne of the empress ever since.

Li Yapeng is also very big now, the rooms are fully booked all day long, and people often ask him if they can't get a reservation, the little old man's temper is getting a little hot, and he doesn't even have to look straight at those rich locals who don't have any status up.Moreover, the two rooms next to Longqiu also had a minimum consumption set by the old man. Those who paid less than 5000 taels for a meal did not want to enter the door. Later, he said that it was raised to 6000 taels, which was still overcrowded.

On the tenth day after the restaurant opened, Li Yapeng told me excitedly that the restaurant had earned 30 taels of silver in the past ten days. I was so shocked that my tongue stuck out. Be good, 30 in ten days, one month Isn't there an income of nearly one million taels of silver?If it goes on like this, it won't be a few years, and all the money in the capital will be put into my pocket.Li Yapeng said with a smile: "People from the capital city are not the only ones who come to our place to eat. Some children from wealthy families in Tianjin and Hebei also came here because of their reputation. Most likely they failed the Jinshi examination and wanted to jump into the Dragon Gate through an adventure." I laughed out loud. , said: "I'm afraid that in a few months, the rich businessmen from Liangjiang will bring money to give us flowers." Li Yapeng said: "It's not guaranteed, maybe someone will come here. Who wouldn't want to Seeing the emperor, even selling the house and land is worth it. I didn’t know the opening day, but if I knew that the young man who was with you was the emperor, I would kowtow to him.”

Li Lei said with a smile: "Only Xiaobao's two brushes dare to show off in front of the old man, and he doesn't look at what we grew up chewing. The old man writes more poems than he shits, just pull them out of his mouth. Two sentences are enough for him to talk for a long time. By the way, Brother Jiu, how do you write the word shit? It was on the tongue just now, but now I can’t remember it.”
