After being homeless, he was picked up by God and brought home to be his husband.

"Sir, there will be a banquet in the courtyard tonight to celebrate your taking over as the admiral. It will be held at He Sheng Tower to celebrate your appointment as admiral. We have already prepared a post."

Lan Yu leaned on the cushions of the carriage and closed his eyes to meditate. Hearing the words, he opened his eyes, his brows were tired and seemed unhappy.

"Why tonight?"

Lan Yu never liked such noisy scenes, and he was too tired to deal with it. He rushed back to Tianjing after a long journey, and he didn't come all the way to attend the banquet.

The phony courtesy such as receiving the wind and washing the dust is nothing more than a back and forth between you and me trying to make a real statement in the wine, and what was said during the dinner was not very credible.

"Many new people in the courtyard need introductions. By meeting them together through this method, we can save a lot of trouble."

Han Yin also knew Lan Yu's temperament, so he only briefly mentioned that Lan Yu's plan was to take a short rest in Yulin Palace and then return to Guyu Mountain. Now that he had wasted time in vain, he would inevitably be unhappy.

Lan Yu was so annoyed that he rubbed his temples and asked, "When will the banquet be held?"

"I said we won't hold the banquet until you arrive. There's still plenty of time."

"understood."

Chu Yitang personally interrogated the prisoners in the imperial prison today. The prison was gloomy and smelly, and Yao Zaiyu felt dizzy after being there for a long time. Chu Yitang heated the iron in the brazier, and weighed the torture instruments that made a sizzling sound. He was kind-hearted. Ask Yao Zaiyu to go out and wait.

Yao Zaiyu was grateful for his compassion and said, "I'll wait for you outside, sir" and scurried away.

It was in the evening, when it was almost dark, that the jailer followed Chu Yitang out of the small door.

Chu Yitang had just finished cleaning his hands. When he came to the steps, he looked sideways and said with a kind face, "Thank you for your hard work today. You should go back early after your work is done. There is no need to stay any longer."

"Yes, thank you for your sympathy."

Several jailers laughed along with him, nodded and bowed, and sent Chu Yitang down the steps before going back in.

Yao Zaiyu jumped up from the stone pier, patted the dust on his clothes, and said, "Let's go, sir. If you don't go, you will miss the time."

"where to?"

Yao Zaiyu also stopped and was stunned for a long time. He suddenly slapped his head and said, "Look at my memory! I forgot to tell you that the Admiral returned to Beijing today and the courtyard held a banquet in Hesheng Tower to welcome the Admiral. Just tonight."

"The Admiral is back?"

"Isn't it? Two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and it's time to come back."

Chu Yitang lowered his head to look at his unclean official robe, and walked away decisively. Without looking back, he said, "You go first. I'll go home and change clothes before I come back."

Yao Zaiyu scratched his neck and shouted: "Hurry up, the admirals may have arrived by now! Don't be too late, sir!"

Chu Yitang waved his hand back to reassure him, turned into the corner, and disappeared as soon as he turned around.

Although the reservation was made at He Sheng Building, the banquet was held in a painting boat in the Tianhe River. He Sheng Building was doing business, and the dozens of painting boats parked at the pier all belonged to their family.

Literati love the artistic conception, and Heshenglou is the first restaurant in Tianjing that hosts ostentatious events. There are several painted boats with bright lights, colorful lanterns, singing and dancing, long and melodious music, endless chatter and laughter, and it is very lively.

It was still early for Lan Yu to return to Yulin Palace. After bathing, he changed his clothes before coming to the banquet.

When he entered the boat, many people stood up and raised wine to greet him. They were all colleagues or chief officers in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. They all smiled brightly and congratulated him loudly on his succession as admiral and that he would achieve great things in the future.

Lan Yu thanked him and greeted him with greetings. There were many children of noble families at the table, and they were about the same age as Lan Yu.

There is a curtain hanging on one end of the ship, and the decoration is gorgeous. He Shenglou is willing to buy it. These fluttering curtains are all made of Yueying gauze, with rolled silver edges. When the wind blows in, the wrinkles they bring are like The water is as beautiful as ripples.

Because he came to the banquet, Lan Yu changed into a white and snow-colored robe with wide sleeves, and his long hair was tied up with a white jade crown. He wore moon-white satin boots.

When he sat down at the table, many people stared at him, more or less sighing at Lan Yu's good looks, and lamenting that he had such achievements at such a young age, which was enviable.

Yao Zaiyu was no exception. He was still chewing the food. He put down his chopsticks and said: "The Admiral is really inferior to one person now and superior to ten thousand people. You said that in the future, compared to Mr. Wei, I'm afraid he will be even worse." ah."

The colleague drank and echoed: "Who says otherwise? Do you think anyone can take this position as admiral? Who would dare to take this job without any real ability?"

After saying that, he bumped Yao Zaiyu's hand and asked, "Where are your adults? The banquet has already begun and why don't you come?"

"My family is very busy, so I got home late. I guess it will be here soon."

Colleagues were disdainful and joked:

"Look at how arrogant you are, what's the matter? If you change your master, don't you still have to listen to others?"

"What do you know about you? You are not working for us. Of course you don't know how good my adults are."

Yao Zaiyu slapped him away and happened to catch a glimpse of the figure behind the carved window of the boat. He was overjoyed and hurriedly left his seat to greet her, shouting, "I borrowed it, borrowed it."

Lan Yuren was at the banquet, but all he could think about was going home. He took a sip of tea, suppressed his boredom, and raised his hand to pull open some of his collar to relax.

Yao Zaiyu came back with a happy face after picking up the people, and walked in front to lift the curtain for his family.

There was a woman serving wine in front of the curtain. He called out and asked her to come over. The woman heard the sound and moved her position with the wine bottle, so that she happened to make way for the space on Lan Yu's left.

Lan Yu was holding the cup, but when he turned sideways, he saw a corner of his clothes. His heart skipped a beat, and the cup fell on the table, and he turned around to look.

Chu Yitang opened the curtain and entered. He was not wearing an official robe. He was wearing a begonia-colored brocade embroidered dress with white patterns and epiphyllum embroidery.

Suddenly, there was another silent sigh from a large group of people. Yao Zaiyu followed him, and they all knew that he was the newly appointed inspector who had just arrived.

Lan Yu forgot his movements and froze in the soft chair. Chu Yitang did not look at him in front of anyone, and was led to the table by Yao Zaiyu.

Yao Zaiyu poured him a glass of wine and gave him a look that was self-evident.

Sir, the rise and fall of the Imperial Envoy, the honor and disgrace are all in your glass of wine!

Chu Yitang raised his glass and looked at Lan Yu in the painting boat across a few seats. The corners of his lips curled up slightly and he said:

"The humble position is to be the Inspector of Punishments. The newly succeeded Inspector is meeting the Lord Admiral for the first time. He came late to the dinner. I hope you won't blame me."

"This glass of wine should serve as a punishment for oneself, and it is a sign of respect that one should do one's duty first."

After speaking, he raised his neck and drank all the wine from the jade cup, his Adam's apple slid, his jade-colored skin exuded a very delicious charm under the dim light, his dark hair hung down on his shoulders and neck, lined with colorful clothes, the color was vivid and fragrant, and seductive. Self-aware.

After a glass of wine was in his stomach, the whole hall was cheering and cheering. The noble disciples on the opposite side stared straight at Chu Yitang as he drank the glass of wine, clapped his fans and cheered:

"Sir Admiral, this beauty is toasting you, so why don't you do the same!"

"Yes, Lord Admiral, give me some respect! Just have a drink!"

Two lamps were lit on Lan Yu's end. He blocked one with his broad shoulders, and the remaining one was behind him on the left. The light was not bright enough and could only illuminate half of Lan Yu's robe.

He sat for a while, his dark eyes half lowered, and laughed softly. He tipped the jug over and poured a full cup. Lan Yu leaned on the armrest with a casual attitude and raised his cup from a distance: "Everything the Lord Inspector said is true. How can I not blame my family for anything?"

Lan Yu bit the word "family" very hard, as if he had chewed it up before telling Chu Yitang. He drank happily, and the wine glass fell over, leaving not a drop of surplus.

"Sir Admiral, what you say is too flattering to me."

Chu Yitang fell back to his seat, lazily holding the bracelet on his fingertips, his eyes dark and unclear.

Yao Zaiyu is the happiest. Lan Yu said that his family is like the sound of nature, which is equivalent to recognizing that his family will sit in this position. The good days of the Inspector are just around the corner!

Chu Yitang, a drunkard, didn't care about drinking. After eating two spoons of lotus seed soup, he didn't want to eat anymore. The banquet was halfway through and the time was just right.

He deliberately knocked down the cup at hand. The wine cup fell to the ground with a muffled sound. Yao Zaiyu leaned over to pick it up for him. Chu Yitang smiled and took the opportunity to get up:

"I drank too much and my hands don't work. Sirs, please use them slowly. I'm going to go out and get some air."

He didn't go through the back curtain, but walked through the front curtain, and the hem of his clothes passed before his eyes. The fragrance of cold orchids was particularly refreshing in the smell of alcohol.

Curling his knuckles into the palm of his hand, Lan Yu silently rinsed his mouth with a gargle, spit into the spit box, wiped the corners of his mouth with a brocade handkerchief, and left the table with the excuse of being too drunk.

Chu Yitang was very careful and had done everything right before he came. There was no one in the third room in the corridor on the left side of the boat. The door could be locked and it was at the end of the corridor.

It’s the perfect choice for a date and an affair.

Lan Yu was a drunkard. He wasn't pretending to be drunk, but he could hardly tell the difference between east, west, north and south. Chu Yitang walked not far or near to guide him, but also to prevent his beloved from falling drunk and falling into the river.

Chu Yitang pushed the door open first, and the area around Lan Yu's eyes and brows were flushed red. Seeing that Chu Yitang was about to die of thirst, he grabbed the jade belt around Lan Yu's waist with his backhand and pulled the person into the room, locking him quickly and accurately. Close the door and latch it.

The moment Lan Yu entered the door, he reached out and took Chu Yitang into his arms. His breathing suddenly became short. He was eagerly looking for Chu Yitang's lips, but Chu Yitang leaned back and refused to let him kiss. He pressed his index finger against Lan Yu's lower lip. , teasing him maliciously.

"Do you miss me?"

Lan Yu nodded hurriedly and breathed out warmly: "I think...I miss Ah Tang so much, I miss you so much..."

"So nice."

Chu Yitang pulled away his hand, smiled mischievously, hooked Lan Yu's neck, stroked his hair with his fingertips, raised his head and pressed Lan Yu's bright red lips, breathing like blue.

"I miss you too."
