Minister

47【Six Years of Jiankang】

According to Wang Yunyi's intention, the officials of both sides divided into two parts of the venue to start the banquet.This is unconventional, but this is an extraordinary period, and discerning people have to sigh with emotion for General Wang's "good intentions".Although it was said that the visitor was a guest, General Wang took the initiative to choose the weaker side, and gave the main palace to Monan, and asked someone to set up a tent on the side of the main palace. This entertainment lasts all night.

Wei Chi was neither high nor low, military or civilian, and Wang Yunyi sent someone to tell him that he was sitting next to Xu Lang, on the right side to be precise.

Wei Chi, who was walking beside Xu Lang, was harassed by the candies and flowers thrown by him 'by the way'. After going around the venue for a week, he bid farewell to everyone on the venue, and went to the venue after wanting to rest for a while.After leaving the racetrack, there is a small forest, the branches and leaves are so lush in summer, Wei Chi led 'Xiao Hei' to the shade of the tree, and waited for Populus euphratica forest to come to a place to tie the horse.The terrain of the small dwarf forest is slightly higher than the racecourse, Wei Chi picked up a stone and sat down, looking at the still lively venue in a daze with some amusement.I used to think that someone would really throw hydrangea balls when Zhuangyuan paraded through the streets, hehe, I was still waiting to see Zhuangyuan Geng's good show.As a result, there were a lot of onlookers all over the street, and the lady who threw the hydrangea was not seen at all.Out of curiosity, I asked the number one scholar himself. Geng Zhuangyuan pointed to himself and then to Wei Chi and sighed, "My dear brother Shaohu, no matter how young the number one scholar in the previous dynasty is, he must be twenty-five. The men at this moment have already had it." How can someone throw hydrangea again?It's you, huh, there are a lot of grown-ups who think you're young, so they've put their minds to it!Do you still want to see my excitement?I should see you. Wei Chi shrunk his neck and was embarrassed for a moment, thinking that fortunately there were no hydrangeas or sachets flying over when he was parading the street, or he would have to be a fake husband.Geng Zhuangyuan smiled: "The hydrangea balls are said to be thrown in the text novels just for fun, how can there be them today?"Even if an adult falls in love with your son-in-law, he must send a matchmaker.How can a decent official handle marriages at will? '

Thinking of Geng Bingran’s words, and looking at the scene in front of me, I was really moved—you see how casual Monan is, whether he has a husband or is waiting to marry, they are all so noisy. If the adults in the capital saw it, they would not be surprised Got to choke?

Mr. Wei, who was building the arbor with his hands, watched the bustle and was foolishly happy, but he didn't notice a small figure hiding in the woods behind him, looking this way.

It's said that Xiangnaji couldn't sit still when he met Wei Chi on the stage. Father Yan didn't dare to make a mistake in front of him, and his heart was both pleasantly surprised and anxious.Surprisingly, I heard that Wei Chi is a civil servant, but I didn't expect to be able to play polo. Isn't it fate to meet here?What is anxious is that there are so many people on the stage, and they dare not act recklessly to sweep the face of the family, and they seem to have missed the opportunity to meet.Surprises and surprises came to the end, regardless of the outcome, and secretly turned around to slip away.

"Hey? Master Xianggeer, do you think the young man on the flower horse is so handsome?" The lady from Fengning's family was sitting beside her, and she accidentally pulled Najib to chat.

Najib was older, and worried that he would show his feet in a panic, so he sat up straight and looked over.That horse is so special, with a colorful face, Najib was about to laugh but saw that the horse was the little officer he met in Wei Chi's yard the day before yesterday?Thinking of my grievances that day, I felt uncomfortable.

"Where is it good? Pull this face, character eyebrows!"

The lady of Feng Ning's family was upset: "Master Shang, you are talking nonsense, what kind of brows does that person have? He has smiling eyebrows!"

Najib had never heard of "smiling brows". It was probably made up by the Feng Ning family girl who was anxious to protect the officer.To be honest, Populus euphratica's eyebrows are not really "horizontal eyebrows", but the color is slightly lighter and thinner, and they are not so curved when smiling.Xianggnaji stuck out his tongue: "That man is not a character eyebrow, the horse he is riding should be?"

unfortunately! 'Flower Beauty' has black hairs on her forehead, and with the macula under her eyes, she really looks like a splayed eyebrow.At this moment, Huabao didn't know that someone was arranging for her on the stage, and she was moving her ears triumphantly, showing off her might.

The lady of Fengning's family probably loves the house and loves Wu, so she also protected the leopard: "Where is it, how can it be? I think that horse looks very...cute!"

About, the young lady of Fengning's family couldn't find anything to praise for a while.

Xianggnaji was too lazy to argue, and was about to say that he was cute, but he saw two people coming in from the sidelines on horseback.This is great to come in!There was a gust of wind growing from the ground on the side of the racecourse, and it was so crazy that countless noble women took flowers in their hands and threw them at the two people. He forgot the 'smiling brow' in an instant, covered his mouth and glared at the young man on the snow horse.

That young man was indeed handsome, and his performance on the field just now was really eye-catching.In the eyes of this group of aristocratic women, polo does not distinguish between Monan or Qi, as long as the winner is handsome, it is worth applauding.Xu Lang just rode his horse and ran to the sidelines, and the bouquet of flowers was thrown at him violently.The young man didn't smile much, but looked up at the stage with arrogance and respect, as if he was used to being treated like this.The man standing next to him looks like a teenager, with a delicate smile and a gentle smile. Since he has never been seen in the scene, the ladies and ladies are more willing to throw flowers to that heroic hero.

Xiangganaji clenched his fists, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.Wei Chi didn't notice himself on the stage, but chatted with the people around him without saying a word.Because he was wearing a polo suit, Wei Chi looked stronger than usual, riding a majestic black horse, showing a demeanor that he never had before.

Xiangganaji was in a trance for a moment, just praying with all his heart, praying that Wei Chi would take a look here, so that he would know that he was also here.As if the gods and Buddhas really responded, Wei Chi really took a look at the stage, but unfortunately it was only for a moment.

"Hey..." Xiangganaji almost couldn't help making a sound.Seeing that her master's expression had changed, Mo Luo at the side quickly stretched out her hand and tugged at her sleeve.Xianggnaji took a deep breath and collected himself, only to see Wei Chi stay for a while, bid farewell to the young man beside him in a hurry, and then ran to the funny flower horse to meet the "character eyebrow" ' After saying a few words, he left the venue.After thinking for a moment, Xiangganaji secretly took out his purse, took out a pen and paper and wrote a few sentences.

"Sister Moluo, that's the Qi army's camp, I beg you to deliver this letter to Wei Chi!" Xianggenaji begged secretly, fearing that Moluo would not go.

Mo Luo was only slightly older than Xianggnaji, so how could he dare to go alone to find a stranger to deliver a letter, and he was too shy to agree.Xianggnaji secretly glanced at the relatives and relatives around him, and seeing that no one was paying attention, he fell to Moluo's ear and begged again.Seeing the red circles under her eyes, Mo Luo sighed, and bravely responded.

It should be agreed, how can it be easy for a little girl to find an officer?Moluo didn't dare to ask anyone, so she pretended to be busy and headed in that direction.

Perhaps, it was fate, when Moluo was about to walk out of the grove, she saw a figure.The man was sitting, and he couldn't recognize who it was from behind, but luckily the black horse Mo Luo beside him recognized him.

"My lord!" Mo Luo peeped for a moment, then bravely stepped forward.

Wei Chi was watching the fun, when he heard a girl's voice, he turned around quickly.But he saw that it was a person dressed as a maid, about the same age as him, blushing and looking at him with a bowed body.Wei Chi neither knew her nor understood what she was talking about.

Seeing that the person was right, Moluo was overjoyed, and when she approached her, she knelt down and was about to dig out the letter.

Wei Chi thought that some maidservant had lost her way, so he kindly pointed at the audience, and then pointed at himself, meaning that he was from Qi, and he couldn't find his way, so you should hurry up and ask someone else.Mo Luo saw that he was completely puzzled by what he meant, and regardless of his status, she put the letter in Wei Chi's hand to see how he reacted.

Wei Chi looked at the green letter paper in his hand, and Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out. Thinking that this maid had never seen him before, he was afraid that he might have identified the wrong person, so he didn't dare to open the letter in his hand.Seeing Wei Chi's troubled expression, Mo Luo's heart skipped a beat. She mustered up the courage to snatch the letter back, tore off the seal, and stuffed it back into Wei Chi's hand.Wei Chi shrank his neck and looked.

After a look, I understand.

"Tomorrow, before sunset, Ke Fengneng will meet his drinking buddies."

There is no signature or signature, but who else is there besides the drinking buddy? ?Wei Chi had a headache for an instant, and really wanted to grab that little girl by the ear and yell directly: I have a wife! !

Mo Luo saw that Wei Chi's face was livid, a little scared, and a little worried, with his hands wrapped around his chest, neither advancing nor retreating.After grinning his teeth, Wei Chi decided to refuse flatly, but was stunned for a moment when he was about to make a move - the little maid didn't notice the scratch on the back of her hand because she was a little scared, it seems that she just went through a lot of hardships before find yourself.I couldn't help but think of the black medicine dumpling I ate last night, and my back felt cold, I couldn't bear it, and I couldn't lift or let go of the hand hanging in mid-air.

Just when the little maid and the little official were both in trouble, Hu Yanglin led the leopard and walked over leisurely. Seeing Wei Chi standing on the hillside, the leopard neighed triumphantly.

When Wei Chi heard the horse barking, he sighed secretly, if Hu Yanglin saw this scene, which river would he be able to clean himself by jumping into?Taking a deep breath, he put the letter fiercely into his bosom, smiled at the poor little maidservant, and said——I have followed you, please, go back quickly, we lonely man and widow... I am innocent!

The poor little servant girl saw the poor Mr. Wei put the pitifully crumpled letter paper into his bosom with a pitiful expression, but she didn't care about saluting, and hurried into the dwarf forest, where she disappeared.

"Shaohu?" Populus euphratica stepped forward and untied Hei Xuanfeng's rein: "I've been waiting for a long time."

Wei Chi took the reins: "No, no. Let's go, let's go to the stable."

Because he only came back yesterday, Wei Chi was temporarily unsure of who was going to be at the banquet, so he wandered around the venue with Populus euphratica for half a circle, and entered Qi Jun's tent a little bit.Hu Yanglin was President Qian, so naturally he couldn't sit in the front row. Wei Chi and him waved slightly to say goodbye and then ran straight to Xu Lang.Not long after, almost all the civil and military officials of Daqi arrived. Du Yun sat diagonally behind Wei Chi, and when he saw him, he winked at him.We haven't seen each other for a few days, but Du Yun has been quite dark. It seems that the work at the bottom of the wall is not easy work, Brother Du is very tired.Qiao Yunsheng sat on top of Xu Lang, and when he saw Wei Chi, he nodded slightly to show he knew him.Further up are the staff officers and military supervisors, Wei Chi secretly looked for that 'upstart', guessing in his heart who this is.

This banquet did not have any distinguished guests from Monan, it was regarded as a 'family banquet', all the generals were relatively relaxed, talking and laughing, waiting for the principals to come over.

Xu Lang took a bite of the fruit on Wei Chi's table, and whispered, "What are you doing sitting upright? You are all yours." Spit out the fruit core in his mouth and pointed at Du Qihuan: "He put you here, Wang The general was reluctant at first."

Wei Chi was wondering, but he saw Xu Lang give Qiao Yunsheng a sideways glance. Qiao Yunsheng was drinking tea, dressed like a general, much more majestic than the polo uniform he was wearing.Thinking of Qiao Yunsheng's neither salty nor dull expression, he understood a little bit and was a little bit puzzled, so he had no choice but to drink tea in suspense.

A little after the hour, a group of military commanders came in surrounded by General Wang. General Wang stepped aside and gave way to the 'Flying Fish Clothes' to the top.

"This is Shen Yang, Commander of Jinyiwei, Mr. Shen." Knowing that everyone was unfamiliar with each other, Wang Yunyi introduced each of them one by one.

Shen Yang?Wei Chi felt a chill in his neck, isn't this lord the commander who also has the title of first rank?Speaking of the emperor's close ministers in the imperial court, this lord must be regarded as one, because he was a follow-up reader of His Majesty back then, and has always been close to the royal family.It's just that Jin Yiwei and the Imperial Academy really don't have much friendship, and King Yan seldom talks about this commander he doesn't know at all, and he has almost no impression of him.

Is it because of King Yan?Or maybe the direction of the wind in the middle has changed?After Wei Chi took his seat, he was a little restless.

"Lord Shen, this is Qiao Yunsheng," Wang Yunyi motioned Qiao Yunsheng to stand up, Shen Yang cupped his hands and saluted: "I've heard about you for a long time!"

Qiao Yunsheng raised the wine and made a toast, then sat back.

"This is the Xu Lang from just now!"

Compared to before, there was a lot of joy in Shen Yang's eyes: "General Xu, please step forward."

Xu Lang was a generous person, he stepped forward and knelt down: "My lord!"

Mr. Shen raised his eyebrows with joy: "Okay! I saw the general's ability today, so happy! Hahaha, those players who are playing, please come up together. I represent the emperor and dress up together!"

Those who didn't participate were all wearing official uniforms, and Wei Chi was embarrassed not to stand up, but just retreated to the back row.

"Who is this?" Shen Yang pointed at Populus euphratica.

"This is Mr. Hu Qian, Mr. Geng's capable subordinate!" How could Wang Yunyi remember so much, so he directly pushed it to Geng Zhuqiu.

Geng Zhuqiu took over the conversation: "Speaking of which, Hu Yanglin and Mr. Shen are considered fellow villagers."

"Where are you from?"

"Langbei, Zhujiang."

"Oh?" Shen Yang was happy: "I didn't expect to meet a young hero from my hometown, hehehe, don't worry, everyone, get up."

After the banquet started, the atmosphere became more easy-going, and Shen Yang took the wine glass and made a toast all the way down.

"Master Shen!" Wei Chi picked up his wine glass and bowed slightly.

Shen Yang didn't drink much at the moment, so he took a fixed look at Wei Chi: "Oh? Wei...Chi?"

Wei Chi smiled faintly: "Jiu Yang."

"You're welcome." Shen Yang drank the wine in his glass.

"You're welcome." Wei Chi lit the bottom of the cup.

Looking at the back of Shen Yang leaving, Wei Chi let go of one or two worries. It is not strange to know himself. The top 24 are all appointed by the emperor. Young, can be regarded as a famous person.Judging by Shen Yang's attitude, it doesn't look like he came here for himself, anything else?I guess it has little to do with me, just take a step at a time.

It was already past midnight when the wine broke up, and Shen Yang went back to his room to drink sober soup: "That Qiao Yunsheng has been appreciated by Wang Yunyi for becoming a military officer."

At the side is Qin Youzhi, the guard in Jinyi, who is also drinking a bowl of soup at the moment: "Wang Yunyi is like picking up a treasure, and he loves people when he sees them."

"It's a pity that that person scolded the emperor back then."

Tan Youzhi smiled and took over the words: "And don't know how to scold, let the emperor still remember him at this moment. Wang Yunyi is a person who knows how to retreat bravely. This time he sent troops, not too fast or too slow, for fear that he would take the credit of King Qin. Hehe, it's really hard." him."

"He's such a loser! He's still eating on the pile of grain! The queen empress has only given birth to a princess so far, so he hastened to put himself on top of his relatives, he's so useless."

"I guess he was frightened by the late emperor!"

After all, the two laughed for a while.

"Brother, guess who I saw today?" Shen Yang thought of someone.

"Oh?"

Shen Yang turned his face to the side to pretend to be mysterious: "I saw that Wei Chi."

"Yo! It's not dead yet!" In fact, Tan Youzhi had already seen it.

"Compared to back then, she has grown a bit taller, but unfortunately her face is still childish."

"I don't know what the emperor means to him. It's nonsense to stay here. Brother, I really don't believe that his little bird voice can call out to soldiers."

"Why would the emperor put him in his eyes? It's just following the Geng family's wishes."

"I heard it was Mr. Guo's meaning."

"How can it be? Guo Taifu just took another blame! My brother doesn't know, that Geng Zhuangyuan and this Wei Tanhua are not just in the same discipline."

Tan Youzhi thought of Geng Bingran, and felt that it was not strange that such a straightforward person could do this.

"...cough, when it comes to King Yan, I really believe in those lingering rumors."

Shen Yang thought of Wei Chi's fair face, and laughed loudly: "Yes, yes!"

"This time around, it's better to be wary of him!" Tan Youzhi became serious.

Shen Yang spread his hands: "If he really moves, then he really has nothing to do with it. If he wants to kill him or keep him, do he still need to ask the gang of sharp-edged officials in the capital?"

Wei Chi didn't drink much, and after saying goodbye to Xu Lang, he returned to the city with Du Yun.

"Aren't you staying overnight in the palace? What are you rushing back to do without guarding the city wall?" Du Yun patted Wei Chi on the shoulder.

"I...haven't drafted the documents for two or three days. If I delay, the table will be buried." Wei Chi was really embarrassed to say that he had to go to an appointment that gave him a headache before sunset tomorrow.

"You need to rest well, I think you don't look well today." Du Cang felt that Wei Chi had something on his mind today.

Wei Chi thanked Du Yun for his kindness, but he couldn't say that he was scared by that nobleman of Jin Yiwei.

"Du Yun, why didn't you come to play polo today?" Wei Chi blurted out as soon as his brain got hot, and it was too late to swallow it back.

Because there was no one around, Du Yun didn't bother to avoid people's eyes and ears: "I'm from the Southern Army, and my father and Deputy Commander Kui Siqikui are best friends. Hehe, you don't know, the relationship between the two Vice Commanders is not good, Geng What is the relationship between the family and General Wang? Naturally, I can't play."

Everyone praised Xu Lang, but Wei Chi felt that Du Yun did not lose to him in the slightest.My self-knowledge made Du Ran feel uncomfortable, and Wei Chi also felt a little uncomfortable.

"Alas! It's always been like this in officialdom. You should be appreciated if you do your best? You'll be fine once you get used to it," Du Cane smiled generously, and then leaned over from the horse and hugged Wei Chi's shoulder: " Feeling sorry for big brother, I will divide the golden snail rewarded by the emperor between me."

Wei Chi didn't play, but he also received rewards. Except for Xu Lang, Populus euphratica, and the injured group, everyone else got eight small golden conch shells of one or two weights.Wei Chi played with it, put it in his arms and put it away.Seeing that Wei Chi was serious about touching him, Du Yun quickly held down his hand: "Are you serious? It's so boring!"

Wei Chi chuckled: "We'll share Zhang Huaiyuan while Zhang Huaiyuan is away!"

Zhang Huaiyuan couldn't drink it, he was drunk after just a few cups, so he had to stay in the palace and could only come back tomorrow morning.

Du Yun looked at the four golden snails in his hand and blushed. Knowing that Wei Chi was trying to comfort him, he responded to his joke, but couldn't say it if he wanted to evade it.

Wei Chi took one and tossed it in his hand: "When it's time for a vacation, we brothers can exchange it for wine!"

Du Yun saw that Wei Chi really didn't care, so he laughed.

Wei Chi went back to the station, and Chen Hu waited on him after washing up, and the sky was slightly brighter.I closed my eyes, I thought of Du Yun's words, and then I thought of Du Qihuan's words, and then I thought about Qiao Yunsheng's neither salty nor bland expression, I was a little confused, I wanted to write a letter to Chen Ang, so I just wrote it like this All kinds of strange things in the past few days, writing about the troubles of colleagues, the troubles of the eldest princess, and my own.Thinking about it, he sighed, turned over, and fell asleep snoring.

When Wei Chi fell asleep, Saul Hahan, who was far away in the Frodama Palace, was already neatly dressed and reciting the morning scriptures.

The accompanying female officer hurried in: "Your Highness! Alkey is finally back!"

Saul Hahan's eyelids moved slightly: "Okay!"
