Chapter 116: The Hongmen Banquet
Behind the construction department, there is a compound where these officials live.
The banquet was held in the Chengxi Hall here.
As soon as he entered Chengxi Hall, Ge Qingqiu saw the two Lang Zhong waiting here.
The two men were not wearing official uniforms, one was wearing a blue shirt and the other was wearing a white shirt.
Looking at Ge Qingqiu's expression with such a smile at this moment made her feel that the two of them were not so much like the official masters who had been officials for many years, but more like the rich men she usually saw in the business field.
The little eunuch who brought her over was very considerate and explained the information of the two in advance.
The man in the blue shirt, named Zhouquan, is the oldest official in this construction department, and it took him 20 years to climb to the position of this Langzhong.
The one in the white shirt is younger, named He Qian, who is only more than thirty this year, and looks quite kind.
As soon as Ge Qingqiu entered Chengxi Hall, he was very respectful and slightly blessed the two: "Xiaguan has seen two adults. ”
When she did this, she deliberately leaned a little towards the older ones.
Zhou Quan saw this move in his eyes, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he raised his hand: "Lord Ge doesn't need to be polite, once you have entered this construction department, then you will be your own family from now on. ”
He Qian also smiled slightly, "That's right, our construction division is different from the other two divisions, there are not so many rules, Lord Ge should take a seat quickly." ”
As he said this, he stretched out his hand to help Ge Qingqiu.
The moment the wide palm touched her arm, the woman clearly noticed that the green tendons on her forehead jumped fiercely.
The smiling expression on her face froze for a moment, her body stepped back slightly, and she bowed slightly towards He Qian: "Thank you, Lord He, it's okay for the lower officials to come by themselves." ”
He Qian didn't know if he didn't feel Ge Qingqiu's resistance to him or deliberately pretended to be stupid, hearing her say this, he grabbed the wine glass on the table, poured a full glass of wine and handed it to her, and smiled greasyly, "Since you have entered this construction department, it is your own family." Master Ge, I salute you for this cup!"
No way......
Ge Qingqiu looked at the man in his early thirties in front of him, and made a big cross in his heart to his own evaluation of his kind appearance.
Is she blind?
This is obviously a womanizer who can't even hide his own thoughts!
Although she was quite clear about this guy's purpose, in line with the official level of crushing people, this guy was two levels higher than herself, and she still shouldn't be offended directly, Ge Qingqiu was still embarrassed to take the glass of wine carefully.
The glass of wine He Qian handed over was really a glass of spirit.
Ge Qingqiu just put it on his nose and sniffed, and then he smelled an extremely choking smell.
She drank the wine and immediately coughed violently.
"Ahem, ahem!"
After a violent cough, she felt one of her faces start to burn.
She knew very well how much she had drunk, and knew that if she stayed here any longer, something out of control might happen in a while, so she immediately bowed her head and said: "I'm sorry for the two adults, the lower officials are not strong enough to drink, today's banquet, the lower officials really can't accompany the two adults to continue to use it, please forgive me." ”
After saying this, his body shook violently.
She turned around and wanted to leave, but He Qian grabbed her arm and said with a smile: "Eh, Master Ge, this amount of wine is all practiced." Now that you have come to the Construction Division, you are no longer a small imperial merchant in the Lin Family Artillery Workshop, will you see the adults elsewhere in the future, and run away after saying that you don't have enough alcohol?"
"This is out, where are we going to put the face of the construction division?Sit down and sit down, this seat has just begun, how can you run as the protagonist!"
Zhou Quan also echoed on the side: "It's this reason, just drink less today, just run now, but you can't." ”
Ge Qingqiu glanced at him in embarrassment, and said with a red face: "The two adults are kind, and the lower officials should not shirk it." But it's really ...... to go down to the official."
She hadn't come up with a reason here, and He Qian had already reached out again, wanting to come over and pull her arm.
Ge Qingqiu was irritable, and this time he didn't have time to think about it, so he simply slapped it.
"Smack!"
A heavy slap fell on He Qian's face, and he looked at the woman in front of him who seemed to be a little drunk, and he was furious.
"How dare you beat Shangguan!"
Ge Qingqiu sneered in his heart, but he made a look of sincere fear on his face, and hurriedly lowered his head to apologize, but halfway through the words, he stood up again in a daze.
At this moment, it happened to hit He Qian's chin again.
He Qian only felt that the upper and lower gums hit hard, and all the teeth in his mouth were almost knocked out.
He covered his mouth in pain, and he was extremely stunned.
Zhou Quan was about to open his mouth to curse, when he suddenly heard a woman outside say, "Miss!
Ge Qingqiu turned his head drunkenly, and saw Qingxing standing outside the door, looking inside anxiously.
She took two steps slowly, and asked vaguely, "Hey, it's Qingxing." Didn't you tell you to wait for me outside, and what are you doing coming in now?"
Qingxing saw that the situation was not right, and she didn't care about it, so she hurriedly entered the house, and after holding her, she said loudly: "Miss, why are you drinking like this, and you have to go to the princess to thank you in the afternoon, you drink like this, how to explain to the princess in a while!"
These words seemed to be for Ge Qingqiu, but in fact, they were for these two old men with bad intentions.
Although He Qian was hit, he was still in pain and couldn't speak, but Zhou Quan was an old man, and when he heard this, he immediately frowned and asked, "This girl, is Lord Ge going to the princess in the afternoon?"
He is still very clear about Ge Qingqiu's identity, and naturally knows which princess Qingxing refers to.
But the news he and He Qian received before was that the princess didn't want to see Ge Qingqiu, so the two of them had the courage to set up this Hongmen banquet here today.
Can ...... now
Zhou Quan hesitated in his heart, slowed down his face, and asked Qingxing: "This girl, I don't know what kind of favor Master Ge wants to thank?"
Qingxing had already been trained to speak, and when she heard the words, she immediately explained: "Lord Hui, isn't this my young lady who has been entitled, and the princess has prepared a banquet for my young lady and invited several princesses and princes in the palace." I said that the afternoon would pass, but look at this ......"
She looked embarrassed at her own young lady, who seemed to be a little unstable, and said to Zhou Quan embarrassedly: "This adult, I'm really sorry, but my young lady still has important things to do in the afternoon, I don't know if I can let the slave maid take the young lady back first?"
She said so, where did Zhou Quan still have the courage to keep people, and nodded hurriedly, "That's natural." Come on, send Master Ge out!"
