May you live in peace

Just as the few people left this place, a familiar voice called Gao Shan.

"Gao Consort." He saw Xiao Fu walking towards him with a smile on his face and his hands were covered with ink.

"Xiao Shizhong." She saluted him back.After all, Xiao Fu's background was much better than those of his age, and he was promoted to Shizhong not long after, he was regarded as a courtier by the emperor's side.

Seeing a group of people around her, as well as the familiar Wuma family member and secretary Lang Lida, he couldn't help but smiled and wanted to hold her arm.

As soon as Gao Shan stepped back, his eyes looked at his ink-stained hands, Xiao Fu was not annoyed, squatting by the river to clean himself up, he stepped forward to hold him again.Seeing that he couldn't hide, Gao Shan let him do it, but he rejected his inexplicable closeness in his heart.

"It's rare for Zuo Liang to be so lucky to meet the son-in-law and others here. He also invited the son-in-law and Zuo Liang to go to the attic for a drink. There are all officials from the same dynasty as the son-in-law. They have fun and write poems together. It's good to congratulate the lotus appreciation festival."

Xiao Fu looked a little drunk, tugging on Gao Shan's sleeve and refused to let go, as if I would not let go unless you go.Gao Shan doesn't know what this person wants to do, but she doesn't know Xiao Fusu, and because of Yin Xi, Gao Shan always feels that Xiao Fu is very dissatisfied and looks down on him. I don't know what he is doing now?Could it be that he still imagined the last time he glanced at him and saw himself making a fool of himself?

Seeing Gao Shan's reluctance, Li Da stepped forward to stop him.

"Xiao Shizhong knows that the son-in-law has a thin face, usually he doesn't attend any banquets, or if he does, he doesn't say a word, so why make things difficult for him?"

Seeing that it was Li Da, Xiao Fu's eyes flashed with disgust, and then he returned to his original smile.

"Since Secretary Li and Mr. Wuma are both here, let's bring friends with us. We are all acquaintances, so it's not bad to get in touch with each other. Being an official in the same dynasty, naturally we have to communicate a lot, right?"

Seeing him leaning back like this, Gao Shan didn't know what to do, she really didn't like this man smelling of alcohol holding her arm, if it wasn't for his identity, Gao Shan really wanted to throw him into the river with his palm.

Seeing that they couldn't get rid of this person, everyone agreed, but because there were female relatives, it was inconvenient to show up at will, and it was also inconvenient for Dou Lian to participate in it. In the end, Elder Dou led Yabai and the three to leave first.Gao Shan gave the waist card to Dou Lian, and asked him to go to the shipyard to find Yin Xi, or play around casually.Dou Lian's identity is unusual, so he naturally has a token that can prove his identity, but when he sees an outsider, he accepts it and takes the three of them away.Looking at Xiao Fu, who was staring at him, and when he turned his head, he turned into that superficial smile, Gao Shan frowned, but it was fleeting, the three of them walked together, and then followed Xiao Fu Go to the attic not far away.

The attic is built against the water, and there is a plaque inscribed on it by the founding emperor, nominating 'Luolian Tower'.There was a commotion upstairs, the sound of piano and drums could be heard, and there was a constant burst of laughter from inside.

As Xiao Fu went upstairs, he found that the place on the top of the building was already filled with colleagues, some familiar and some unfamiliar.

"Heh, Zuo Hao is capable. After going out to clean his hands, he brought back the son-in-law, Mr. Wuma, and Secretary Li." The speaker was Yu Kui, the son of the current right minister, and his eyes kept looking at the man who was usually in the office. A consort with no presence in the imperial court.

"Hey, don't make fun of Zuo Liang. It is Zuo Liang's ability to invite the son-in-law and others. After all, the status of the son-in-law is different from ours. How can he often interact with people of our status?" Yuan Xiao said, while still He stepped forward and wanted to have a close contact with Gao Shan, but was stopped by Gao Shan.

Everyone knew that these people were talking in their own words, but they were all pretending to be stupid. These people have their own status, so how dare they intervene at will, or they will stand in the wrong position if they make trouble.

"It's an honor for the son-in-law to come, so don't wait around here, let's get out of the way of the son-in-law, go back to your own position and play with your own." Yu Kui waved his hand, and a group of people also left.Takasugi listened to what he meant, acting as if he had come here to put on a show, so that they couldn't let go.Too lazy to say anything to this group of people, seeing someone familiar at the seat, he stepped forward and sat down beside him.

"I didn't expect Bo Nian to come too."

Seeing that Gu Suhuai had already drank a lot, his face was flushed, but he was sitting there peeling and eating peanuts by himself, and did not participate in the activities of his colleagues.

"Oh, you have to keep an eye on it." Gao Shan secretly laughed at the rascal's appearance, thinking that Jiao Tianao had ignored the government for many years, but he didn't really care about the right and wrong of the court.As his apprentice, Gusu Huai, from the official to Jijiu, has a very high status among this group of colleagues.Although Gusu looks casual, he also understands the way of being an official in the court. He can accurately grasp the character traits of many people. Jiao Tianao rest assured that he is alone in dealing with the government because this person knows how to measure.Nowadays, almost all the sons of various official families are adults, and they have participated in the scientific examination to become officials. Gusu Huai fights with them, and also wants to find out the situation of everyone here.

"If you don't accompany the princess, why are you here?" Seeing Li Da being dragged away by one of his colleagues who has a good relationship with him, Gu Suhuai looked at Gao Shan with a playful look in his eyes. The master is related.

"I have some things, and I was also dragged here unintentionally." After taking a sip of the wine that Gusu handed over, the aroma was mellow but a bit strong.

"These individuals are more difficult than the other, and some are even better than blue. You, you have to take precautions."

Hearing his earnest tone, Gao Shan looked at Gusu with a strange face, saw that he couldn't hold back a smile, and knew that he was teasing himself, so he threw peanuts in front of him, then turned his head to look at the noisy scene in front of him.

"Hey, just kidding. But what I'm saying is the truth. These people are very good at holding grudges. Don't underestimate Xiao Fu among them."

Seeing him smiling, Gao Shan squinted his eyes and nodded.

"I know."

"If you don't know, maybe the princess won't take a fancy to you."

Lifting the wine glass in front of Takasugi, the two drank a glass together.

"That's good too. It's good for you and the princess if they don't know you."

Gao Shan rubbed the rim of the wine glass, looking at Gusu's foolish look, more like when he first met him.Knowing that he was considered one of the few close friends of his, he added another glass of wine as a respect to him.

"The son-in-law and the sacrificial wine really don't get along well. It's so boring to persuade each other to drink here." After Yu Kui finished speaking, he invited the two to participate in the pot throwing activity. The two wanted to refuse, but saw more people came forward to persuade them. I agreed.

The rules of throwing pots are very simple, just take the arrow feathers and throw them into the container.Hao Guo advocates etiquette, etiquette, music, calligraphy, archery, imperialism, and mathematics, all of which must be cultivated at the first level of scholar-officials.In order to increase the difficulty, the caliber of the bottle mouth was reduced a little, and the body of the bottle was also much shorter. Each person had twenty arrow feathers, and whoever threw more arrows would win.

These colleagues are all young, and in order to win attention, they all scramble to perform first to get the first prize, but they only put in fifteen at most, and the highest is lost.Every time there is a highest record, the people behind will drink a glass of wine, and it doesn't take long before they become drunk.

Li Da was born in a military camp. Naturally, his martial arts are much higher, but he is strong in melee combat. He is not good at archery. He only hit fourteen shots, and then he was drunk and sat there a little drunk.

Wuma Zong hit the grand slam and won applause, and then drank another meal, and some people fell down.

When it was Takasugi's turn, she was already the last one. There were 60 to [-] people present, and all the awake ones were staring at her.

After the slam, some people sighed and drank again. Gao Shan obviously felt that Li Da was drunk, and wondered why this person's drinking capacity had deteriorated.

"Oh, I didn't expect the shooting skills of the son-in-law and Mr. Wuma to be so good. However, after thinking about it, everyone drank so much wine, but the son-in-law and Mr. Wuma hadn't even touched a drop. Why don't they perform a show together? Count it as an addition to the banquet." Yuan Xiao's words caused a lot of excitement in the audience, and they all expressed their desire to perform.

"Yuan Dianju knows I'm not talented, so what can I do to help?"

"This can't be done, the son-in-law can't live up to everyone's expectations. If the son-in-law really doesn't want to perform, he will be punished with three glasses of wine. Only in this way can we live up to everyone's expectations."

Gao Shan didn't understand what Yuan Xiao was thinking, and was just about to refuse, but a group of people were making a fuss, and Gao Shan simply drank the wine on the table, causing a lot of shouts from the audience, so he went back to his seat and sat down, not joining them next activity.

Sitting there, Gao Shan only felt that the wine was really strong, and he was a little drunk after three drinks after practicing for so long, and raised his eyebrows when he saw Li Da leaning on the beam and stupefied.

In front of them were these people urging each other to drink and write poems. Occasionally, a few people came up to invite her to compose poems and music, but they were all fooled by Gusu, but they were still fed a few glasses of wine.

"My son-in-law, let me toast you a few glasses."

Seeing Xiao Fu approaching with a fake smile on his face, Gao Shan stood up, but felt that his eyes were still a little wobbly.

"High concubine, although you have been honored by the eldest princess and become a member of the royal family, although this concubine sounds nice, in the end, it is just a servant of the royal family, the princess' servant." Xiao Fu whispered in Gao Shan's ear Said, although the voice is not loud, people who are close can still hear it, and there are some who laugh out loud in cooperation.

Gao Shan rubbed the center of his brows, shook his drunken head slightly, looked at Xiao Fu with a sarcastic expression, and knew that he had no good intentions in looking for him.

"Xiao Shizhong also knows that I am a servant of the royal family, so why not everyone here? Is it possible that Xiao Shizhong feels that the emperor is not worthy of serving you and me, and does not want to be a servant of the royal family? Besides, I like the princess, everyone knows that Why not be the servant of the princess? Xiao Shizhong thinks that the princess's rich body can tend to serve people like you and me, I'm afraid Xiao Shizhong can't bear it."

After Gao Shan finished speaking, all the people present were very surprised. Looking at his rosy cheeks, they only thought that he was drunk and talking nonsense there.
