Don't make trouble, let's build infrastructure!

Xu time has come, but the throne is still empty, the voices of the hundreds of officials in the hall are quieter, and many people look puzzled.

"Why hasn't Your Majesty come yet?" Honglu Temple Minister, who was talking to Ren Jin, lowered his voice now.

Today's Ren Jin can be described as high-spirited.

The Ministry of Industry took over the two major errands of building roads and building trains. The righteousness of several people in the Ministry has increased significantly in a short period of time. The officials in other yamen are all jealous. Recently, there are obviously more people who have come to make friends with him. For example, this minister of Honglu Temple, who didn't have much friendship with him, ran over a few tables away, just to have a word with him.

"What about your Majesty, I'll wait for you not to lie." Ren Jin said in a deep voice, with a steady look, and he was completely different from the Shang Shu who rolled up his sleeves and worked in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

Honglu Siqing got bored and finally left.

Ren Jin winked at Yan Liang, Yan Liang clearly saw it, but closed his eyes, pretending not to know.Ren Jin curled his lips and secretly stuffed a grape into his mouth. Before he could chew it, he heard a loud voice: "Your Majesty is here—!"

Ren Jin didn't have time to chew the grapes, so he hurriedly got up, knelt down among the officials and shouted long live.

"Everyone, please sit down," Chu Jun said.Everyone thanked each other and took their seats.

In the hall, Chu Jun sat on the imperial steps, and there were several rows of seats on both sides.

On the seats closer to Chu Jun, on the left sat several collateral princes, and on the right were Fu Lin, Wu Li and other important ministers with titles.There are three steps further down, and at the bottom of the steps are the seats of officials from various yamen.

Today, the lowest level in the palace is the fourth-rank official position, except for one person——Tong Ran.

On the right hand side of Ren Jin from the Ministry of Industry, there was an empty seat, which was reserved for Tong Ran.

Chu Jun glanced at the seat quickly, but the person hadn't arrived yet.

Su Jin approached at the right time, and whispered in Chu Jun's ear: "Someone has already invited them, and they will arrive soon."

Chu Jun didn't say anything, Su Jin stepped aside, sweating for Tong Ran.

But he turned to think about it, Master Tong has always been courageous, and His Majesty is not angry, so this time he will probably be able to pass the test smoothly.

Since it was a banquet, it was necessary to say some scene words, which Chu Jun knew very well.He looked back on the past, looked forward to the future, named and praised some important officials by name, and drank wine with them.

Fu Lin, Wu Li and others who were named were all used to it, and they answered each other fluently.Ren Jin thought he had nothing to do, so he ate another grape, but the grape had just entered his mouth, and the man on the imperial steps said: "Ren Qing has worked hard this year, and the road construction department is doing well."

Ren Jin almost choked, got up in a hurry, went to the hall and said: "Your Majesty, cough cough, this is... what I should do, don't worry about the soil, cough cough cough!"

He chewed and swallowed the grapes in his mouth, and managed to get rid of it, but he choked again, coughed a little, and his face turned red.

Someone in the hall snickered, and the low laughter reached Ren Jin's ears.

Chu Jun also smiled lightly and said, "It seems that the banquet started a bit late."

"Your Majesty, forgive me, it's just that the grapes are so beautiful that I'm really... a bit greedy." Ren Jin said embarrassedly.

On such a happy day, Chu Jun naturally would not embarrass the important officials for these trivial matters. He said a few more words, waved Ren Jin back to his seat, and announced the start of the banquet at the same time.

All kinds of dishes came up like flowing water, singing and dancing sounded at the same time, the atmosphere in the hall was relaxed, the lords and lords on the imperial steps were fairly quiet, only occasionally whispering, and below the imperial steps, there was a lively scene of drinking and drinking.

When Tong Ran came in, he happened to meet a cheater, and he sat on the seat on Ren Jin's right under the guidance of the servant.

Tong Ran came in a hurry, and when she sat down, she was out of breath, and there was still sweat on her forehead.

Chu Jun sat on the top of the imperial steps, the commanding height of the whole hall, and saw him at a glance. Just as the dance and music were over, he raised his hand to pause the show, and said loudly, "Where did Tong Aiqing go? You came so late."

Tong Ran knew that he would not be able to avoid this catastrophe, so he took another breath, then stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Forgive me, Your Majesty, I was just working on the design, so I was so absorbed that I forgot the time." The implication is that he is doing business. .

For this reason, Chu Jun really didn't want to embarrass him too much, but since it was a banquet, there were banquet rules.

"On New Year's Eve, why let the official work fail?" Chu Jun said, "Tong Aiqing is late, please tell me, how should I be punished?"

All the people sitting here were high-ranking officials, and they immediately understood what Chu Jun meant.

Someone said loudly: "If you are late for the banquet, you will be punished for drinking!"

"The New Year's Eve banquet is so important, Mr. Tong must punish himself with three cups!"

Tong Ran's official position is not high, but he has lived in the Piandian of the Xuanshi Palace for so many days, and there are really no civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty who do not know him.

At this time, even Wu Li from the Ministry of War came to make a fuss, and even brought the wine himself.

As soon as Wu Li came out, the atmosphere in the hall became even hotter, especially everyone in the military department booed happily: "I want to drink, I want to drink, Mr. Tong drank the wine!"

Tong Ran had no choice but to take the wine, because his drinking capacity was really average.

"It's my fault for being late today. I punish myself with three cups here. Please forgive me, Your Majesty and all the adults here." After Tong Ran finished speaking, he raised his glass to drink, but the person on the imperial steps opened his mouth again.

"Since it's New Year's Eve, how can you enjoy yourself with such a small wine glass? Su Jin, serve the bowl." Chu Jun said.

Su Jin was very efficient. After a while, a large bowl and a small wine were served to Tong Ran by the servants.

Tong Ran glanced at the throne when he saw the sea bowl that was bigger than his face.The person on the throne leaned leisurely on one side of the armrest, and the twelve crowns shook slightly with his movements. His face was faintly hidden behind the crowns, as if he was smiling.

Definitely laughing.Tong Ran slandered.

This Haiwan was obviously trying to punish him with an excuse, wasn't he just being late, and he was too stingy.

"Okay, you should use a big bowl for drinking!" Wu Li, who was born in the military camp, picked up the jar of wine, filled Tong Ran himself, and said to Su Jin on the way, "Give me another big bowl later!"

"Yes, Lord Hou." Su Jin said.

Tong Ran picked up the sea bowl and swirled the wine. He closed his eyes and gulped it down.The slightly bitter wine poured into the throat and choked, bringing a spicy and stimulating feeling.After taking a bowl, Tong Ran covered it with her sleeve, coughed twice, and the sweet aftertaste welled up on the tip of her tongue.

"Okay!" someone booed.

"Come again!" Wu Li poured him a second bowl with his own hands.

Tong Ran also drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking this bowl, his face was already red.

"Good drinker, third bowl!" Ren Jin followed suit.

Wu Li poured the wine, gloatingly watched Tong Ran drink the third bowl, and followed suit: "Your Majesty Tong has a good drinker!"

After finishing the three bowls, Tong Ran was already a little unsteady, so he staggered back a step and was supported by Su Jin.

"Tong Qing is a good drinker," Chu Jun said.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your compliment." Tong Ran said with his tongue out.

He tried to mobilize the righteousness to force away the alcohol like in martial arts, but he didn't know whether his method was wrong or the righteousness was not useful, it was completely useless, he had to rely on his will to stay awake.

The singing and dancing in the hall started again. In order to save his drinking capacity, Tong Ran ate a lot in one go. After filling some food on an empty stomach, he felt a little relieved.

Later, for some reason, this group of people played the wine order again. This wine order was quite trendy, and it turned out to be the Feihua order mentioned in the Red Mansion.This may be the only drinking order that Tong Ran can play with, but the literary history of this world is different from the original world, and many poems that Tong Ran is familiar with have not yet appeared in the world.

Just bring "Journey to the West" and rely on your imagination.

Poems embody the deepest emotions of the poets, and they cannot be used indiscriminately, otherwise they will appear to have a split personality.

Tong Ran hadn't read many poems in this world. In order to save a few glasses of wine, he had to search his guts and recall the sentences he read in the Book of Songs and Songs of Chu.

At first, he managed to pass the test, but many people used the Book of Songs and Chuci, and gradually there were no more words to use. Tong Ran drank a lot of wine for this, finally cleared his head a little, and fell asleep again.

"Master Tong, don't keep talking about the Book of Songs, but also recite the words and sentences of great contemporary poets." Ren Jin said.

Tong Ran laughed dryly, he thought about it too, but he had to know it too, didn't he?

The topic of this round was "wine", and it was Tong Ran's turn again. His mind was dizzy, his speed was extremely slow, and he was about to fail again, when four words suddenly jumped into his mind.

The four-character one should be the Book of Songs.

Tong Ran didn't have time to think about it, and chanted loudly: "Singing to wine, life is so much! It's like morning dew, the past is full of hardships. Generosity should be generous, and worries are unforgettable. How can you relieve your worries? Only Du Kang."

Tong Ranyin came to the place where he was happy, and raised his wine glass high, his face turned red even more.

The hall fell silent.

"Good poetry!" It seemed to be an Hanlin, he shouted, breaking the silence of the hall.

"Life is short. It's magnificent, full of emotion, what a poem!" said another elderly official, drinking the wine in his hand.

Tong Ran was a little drunk, he didn't hear all the words from the hall at all, and after reciting the eight lines of "Duan Ge Xing", he seemed to have fallen into some kind of generosity, raised his glass high, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Master Tong is probably drunk." Su Jin said.

Down the steps, Tong Ran threw away the wine glass and fell asleep lying on the table.

"Hahaha, I really can't drink!" Ren Jin, who was slightly drunk beside him, said.

It's not surprising that there are so many drunk people at the New Year's Eve banquet every year.Tong Ran lived in the palace, but it was easier to deal with it than others, Su Jin hurriedly called the two servants down, picked up Tong Ran and sent him to Xuanshi Hall.

Maybe Tong Ran was awakened by the servant's movement. He hung one arm on the person, and raised the other arm high, saying, "Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng, you are about to drink, don't stop drinking! Hu'er will exchange fine wine, and you Sell ​​the eternal sorrow together!"

"Move him down quickly!" Chu Jun shouted.

Su Jin trotted down hurriedly, urging him personally.

The officials were silent for a while, and someone said: "These two sentences seem to be good?"

"It's like a sentence in a long poem, I really want to hear it in its entirety!"

"This is... Mr. Tong did when he was drunk? Have you heard these poems before?"

"No." Everyone shook their heads.

Under Su Jin's command, the servant quickly got Tong Ran out of the hall.

The cold wind hit his face, and Tong Ran shivered all over, as if he had woken up a little.It seems that I mispronounced just now, what is behind Cup Mo Ting?

Tong Ran was staggering forward while being supported, thinking, suddenly he said again: "Let's play a song with Junge, please listen to me."

"My lord, the poem you recited is really nice." said the servant who was carrying him away.

This place was already outside the hall, and there was no one around except the sentry post of the forbidden army. Tong Ran was supported by the little servant, and staggered towards the Xuanshi hall.

"No, no," Tong Ran shook her head, "you must have wine."

He thought hard for a while, and then said: "A jug of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without a blind date."

"My lord, it's cold tonight, you'd better talk less, or you'll suffer from the wind." The other servant laughed.

Tong Ran nodded, walked a few steps quietly, and suddenly said: "Excuse me, where is the restaurant? main hall.

"My lord, that is His Majesty's main hall, you are here." The servants took him to the side hall.

Tong Ran followed obediently, but his eyes seemed to be glued to the main hall, and he murmured again: "Ask the sky for the wine. I don't know the palace in the sky, what year is it?"

Finally got Tong Ran back to the side hall, Dongqing and the servants who served him greeted him, and helped Tong Ran in to rest.

Tong Ran was helped to lie down on the bed, and Dongqing took off his coat, shoes and socks for him, and covered him with a quilt.

"Go get some hot water." Holly said again.

The two servants rushed to fetch hot water.

When the water was brought, Dongqing had just dipped the face towel into the water when Chu Jun suddenly arrived.Dongqing imitated the two servants and hurriedly bowed down.

"You all step back," Chu Jun said.Even Su Jin was waved back by him.

Everyone went out and the door was closed, except Chu Jun who was sleeping soundly on the bed.

The twelve crowns swayed and collided with the movements, making crisp sounds.Chu Jun rolled up the wide sleeves of the heavy dress, soaked the towel to wipe his face with water, lifted it up and wrung it dry, and walked to Tong Ran's bed.

Chu Jun lifted the curtain of the bed, only to see Tong Ran's eyes were shining brightly, looking straight at him.

"Aren't you drunk?" Chu Jun frowned slightly.

"Hey," Tong Ran's cheeks were flushed, his eyes were curved into a pair of crescents, and he smiled very brightly. He propped up his body, held Chu Jun's left wrist with his right hand, and read, "Where are you sober tonight, Yang Liuan, The dawn wind and the waning moon."

He is still reading poetry.Chu Jun laughed.

After Tong Ran finished reading, he looked at Chu Jun with drunken eyes for a while, and then said: "You...pull the curtain, you can't see clearly." He pointed to the twelve crowns in front of Chu Jun and said.

The author has something to say: Thank you for your support, okay!
