184 Officialdom Little Fox

"Sister Zhi, you're embroidering." Zheng Zihan walked over and said with a smile.

Zheng Yanzhi put down the embroidery in her hand and said with a smile: "Sister Han, what wind blew you here." ”

"If there is no wind, can't you come to see my good sister who is smart and naturally beautiful" Zheng Zihan picked up the embroidery cloth that Zheng Yanzhi had just put down, glanced at it, and said with a surprised face: "What cute two fat geese, Sister Zhi, your embroidery skills are so good." ”

Zheng Yanzhi's pretty face twitched slightly, glared at Hongling, who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and quickly said casually: "I'm idle and bored embroidering and playing, let Sister Han laugh." ”

It's hateful, Miss Ben embroidered a pair of mandarin ducks, where is the fat goose, if it weren't for the seniority older than herself, I really want to drive her out of the door.

Zheng Zihan grinned, looked left and right, and pretended to say casually: "I remember that Sister Zhiwei likes Ming Shu very much, how did she change her embroidery recently." ”

"Recently, my brain has been a little messy, so I will embroider and relax" Speaking of this, Zheng Yanzhi immediately said: "Originally, I won't, I can ask Lu Gongzi for advice, but King Qin rewarded a piece of land to Wuyitang, Lu Gongzi is the head of Wuyitang, and he has been busy receiving things, and he can't find anyone when he runs outside the city all day long, and he hasn't said anything about the introduction to Sister Han." ”

The two can be said to have played since childhood, as soon as Zheng Zihan came, Zheng Yanzhi guessed her mind and took the initiative to take the lead.

This prodigal hoof, chasing a man day by day, is really shameless.

Zheng Zihan smiled: "I thought that Sister Zhi was busy and forgot, so I kept thinking about it." ”

"How can it, Sister Han's business is the little sister's business, you can't forget it."

Zheng Zihan took Zheng Yanzhi's hand and said, "Sister Zhi is still good to my sister, by the way, Xuancai shop has brought a batch of high-grade rouge, all of which were sent by Dashi, and I brought two boxes for my sister, come and try it." ”

"Okay" Zheng Yanzhi said happily: "The people of Ayeto got some pearl powder made of Haidong pearls, and after wiping the back skin, it is white and smooth, Sister Han, you can also try it." ”

So, the two sisters began to happily communicate about dressing up and beauty.

By the time Zheng Zihan left, it was already half an hour later.

Unlike Zheng Yanzhi, who likes to be quiet, Zheng Zihan is an activist, participating in several clubs built by the sisters of famous ladies from wealthy families in Chang'an.

As soon as Zheng Zihan left, the smile on Zheng Yanzhi's face disappeared immediately, and she sat quietly, frowning slightly, as if she was thinking about something very important, and Hongling on the side didn't dare to disturb.

"Hongling, you said that if I don't recommend it again, will the little wave hoof stick it upside down by itself?" Zheng Yanzhi suddenly asked.

"Miss Yitang's character, that is, if Miss does not recommend, she will also take the initiative to create opportunities." Hongling said cautiously.

Zheng Yanzhi was silent for a moment, and only after half a voice did she say, "Hongling, you say, if Lu Ting knew my true identity, would it... Angry. ”

This is a question that Zheng Yanzhi is very entangled.

I don't want to reveal my true identity, and in the name of a servant girl to the outside world, I thought it was interesting at first, but I slowly got tired of it, but I had to cover up for the front, and my heart began to feel a little uneasy.

Fooling him for so long, will you be angry?

If it's okay in Suzhou, there are not many people who know him, and it's easy to keep secrets, Chang'an is different, Lu Ting and Aya are from the Qin Palace, and Lu Ting is still close to those dignitaries and nobles in Chang'an, maybe he will visit him one day.

In other words, it is only a matter of time before your identity is revealed.

Hongling felt that this question was a bit difficult to answer, thought about it, and said cautiously: "Lu Gongzi is not a stingy person, it shouldn't be, he didn't mean to hide it, and he didn't hurt Lu Gongzi, and besides, Miss helped him many times, presumably Lu Gongzi can understand." ”

How good it is to be a young lady, noble and facely, her own young lady is weird, and the eldest lady of the dignified Xingyang Zheng family does not do it, but pretends to be a subordinate.

It's not going to end now.

Zheng Yanzhi nodded and said, "Paper can't hold the fire, it seems that it can only be like this." ”

Just when Zheng Yanzhi secretly decided, Lu Ting escorted the carriage to the Qin Palace.

Coincidentally, Li Er took the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yanjin and others to just disperse the court meeting, and were about to go back to the Qin Palace's mansion to discuss major matters, and they happened to meet at the gate.

When Lu Ting and Cheng Chuliang saw it, they hurriedly jumped off the horse and trotted forward to salute.

Before Li Er could speak, Cheng Yanjin scolded with a smile: "You two rabbit cubs, how come you have time to run to King Qin's Mansion, do you have nothing to do?" ”

Seeing his son listening to his own words and being with Lu Ting, Cheng Yanjin was in a good mood.

It is said that those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black, and the second elm head is more than Lu Ting, so maybe he will also be bright.

If you get a little bit of Lu Ting's peach blossoms far away and turn back a girl with five surnames to the old Cheng family, it will be the old Cheng family's ancestral tomb emitting green smoke.

Lu Ting said with a smile: "Wuyitang has brewed a batch of new wine, and specially sent it to the prince to taste. ”

New wine coming out?

Li Erleng paused, nodded and said, "It just so happens that everyone is here, try it." ”

This named disciple, sensible, what is there to take over for filial piety first, the most rare thing is that Lu Ting specially brought Wuyitang, which means that where is the wine counted in Wuyitang, that is to say, Wuyitang accounts for the majority of the income from wine.

Wuyitang accounts for the majority, that is, he occupies the majority.

Qin Shubao said with interest: "New wine, what new wine, Master Lu, you can't use bad wine to coax us old guys." ”

"Don't dare" Lu Ting hurriedly said: "Boss Zhang and Brother Ren have tasted it and think it's good, so I sent it to let the prince taste it and give some advice." ”

Du Ruhui nodded and said, "Director Zhang and Lao Ren also said that the good wine is definitely not much different, and I am looking forward to it." ”

Zhang Heng is well-informed, Ren Zhenhai is a drunkard, and both of them say that it is good, which means that this wine is really good.

For Lu Ting, Du Ruhui is still very confident.

Cheng Yanjin walked straight up, picked up a jar of wine, looked at it, opened the lid on it casually, sniffed it closely, his face turned suddenly, turned his head suddenly, and sneezed loudly.

The smell of alcohol was too strong, and it smelled itchy to the nose, and it was uncomfortable not to hit it.

"Lao Cheng, are you okay?" Eldest Sun Wuji hurriedly asked.

There won't be any problem with that wine, seeing the sudden change in Cheng Yanjin's face just now, the eldest grandson Wuji was taken aback.

Cheng Yanjin shook his head: "I'm fine, nephew Lu Xian, what kind of wine is this, this wine smells so good, the wine bugs are about to come out." ”

"It's mellow, I smell it too." Wei Chi Jingde leaned over, took a deep breath, and said in disbelief: "I want to get drunk just by smelling it." ”

As soon as the wine jar was opened, everyone smelled the strong aroma of wine, and they all came over for a while.

Li Er waved his hand and said, "Don't stand here, just go in and taste it." ”

After Li Er spoke, he didn't need his subordinates to do anything, and several generals carried it in with an altar.

Some are eager to taste new wines.

The kitchen of the Qin Wangfu was very efficient, and the second table of dishes was quickly prepared, and Lu Ting was named by Li Er and was fortunate to sit at the last table.

This is not even Cheng Zhiliang, he is not qualified to sit at the table.

Because he wanted to discuss things, Li Er ordered to leave the wine for the last to drink.

lest you drink and make mistakes.

After the meal was served, everyone chatted while eating, mainly discussing what had just happened at the court meeting, and then discussing the next strategy.

Lu Ting didn't speak, he just listened very carefully, his status was too low, he was not qualified to participate in the court meeting, and his seniority was also low, he was already snickering to be able to observe such an important meeting, and it was most stable to listen more and talk less.

Being able to sit at the table shows that what he has done recently has been recognized by Li Er, and he is a huge improvement when he looks after him like his own people.

Most of the discussions at the banquet were about some major events in the DPRK and China, which could be regarded as brainstorming, and some hidden things would not be discussed here.

Just when everyone thought that the discussion was almost over, and they were waiting to taste the new wine brought by Lu Ting, Li Er suddenly stood up, motioned for everyone to stop, and said with a sincere face: "It's been an eventful time recently, the situation is not very favorable to the Qin Wangfu, and the king has also made a lot of stupid moves, the sage said well, people who have no faults, and can change it, and the good is great, but sometimes the authorities are confused, the bystanders are clear, and sometimes the king makes mistakes and does not notice, everyone here is his own people, I hope you can point out the shortcomings of this king, so that you can improve." ”

Point out Li Er's shortcomings?

Everyone looked at each other, what does this mean, is the prince holding a judgment meeting for himself?

Li Er is the King of Qin, the most powerful prince of the Tang Dynasty, who dares to say that he is not?

I don't know why Li Er did this, and I don't know if he tested it or from the bottom of his heart, if he really said it, what if Li Er was angry and ashamed?

The military generals in the hall stared at each other with big eyes, and asked their colleagues with their eyes what was going on.

Li Er took the initiative to correct his mistakes, establish his glorious image, and then see if he could save the current decline, it was best to pull the prince Li Jiancheng down, the words have been left behind, those henchmen are still you look at me, I look at you, none of them made a sound.

"Bite the gold, you say it first." The invitation failed, and Li Er directly ordered the general.

Others have scruples, Cheng Biting Jin doesn't hesitate to say anything, so let him make a sample first.

Cheng Yanjin was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect Li Er to point himself.

Please, saying that it is pointing out the shortcomings, in fact, it is to criticize Li Er, and to ask Cheng to bite the gold and charge into battle without frowning, but it is too difficult for him to criticize Li Er.

It's too late to pat yourself on the back, what to criticize.

was named, and he couldn't help but answer, Cheng Yanjin stood up and thought about it, and quickly said with a sincere face: "The prince is not missing, and his subordinates are so impressed that they throw themselves to the ground." ”

Li Er said with some dissatisfaction: "This is not good, this king has to listen to the shortcomings." ”

"Back to the words of the prince, in the hearts of his subordinates, the prince is like a god of war..."

"Stop" Li Er interrupted: "Jin has no feet, no one is perfect, this king is also a human being, how can there be no shortcomings, sycophants are less shooting, you must say the shortcomings, otherwise I can't spare you." ”

Cheng Yanjin scratched his head a little embarrassed, rolled his eyes, and said with a simple face: "Lord Wang, my brain is not bright, I can't think of it for a while, I think about it now, I think about it now." ”

If you want to say bad things yourself, it's impossible to break it, no matter what, drag it out first.

Li Er glared at Cheng Yanjin, and for a while he really couldn't do anything about it, so he had to wave his hand to let him sit down and think slowly.

Forget it, spare this shameless guy first, let the others say it first, when Li Er set his eyes on the others, they all dodged, either bowing their heads to eat or pretending to look for something on the ground, even the eldest grandson Wuji was no exception, turning his head and gesturing with a servant girl.

No one was willing to take the lead in saying that Li Er's was not.

Li Er opened his mouth to say something, but finally swallowed the words back into his mouth.

You can't force your subordinates to say that you're not, it's an eventful time, and the Qin Wangfu is the time when you need unity, which may make people feel distracted.

None of the people below dare to tell the truth?

In ancient times, the following offenses were not only excessive, but also taboo in officialdom, and it was normal for the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others to avoid this issue.

I don't mind now, what if I settle accounts after the fall?

Throughout the ages, there have been too many examples of incumbents going back on their word.

Just when Li Er was depressed, Lu Ting suddenly stood up and saluted: "Lord Wang, although the time for his subordinates to enter the Qin Palace's mansion is still short, I found that the prince has done four things that are very bad, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Others dare not say it, it does not represent Lu Ting.

What the? Lu Ting wants to say that the prince is not, and he has to say four points?

The people present were dumbfounded, and many people looked at Lu Ting with a little strange gaze.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, Xiao Langjun is still too young, don't you know the following taboos?

It's okay now, if the prince keeps it in mind, who knows what he will do when he performs meritorious work or assigns tasks in the future.

Zheng Yuanxuan shook his head secretly, this kid is very clever, and he also teaches his daughter to calculate clearly, and poetry is also a must, but it's a pity that the officialdom experience is too shallow, it's okay, if he falls out of favor and is degraded, he doesn't have to worry about Zhi'er being influenced by him;

Du Ruhui was a little anxious in her heart, and kept making eye contact with Lu Ting, wanting to remind Lu Ting not to be impulsive;

Cheng Yanjin coughed anxiously, wanting to remind Lu Ting not to be stupid and destroy his future, but Li Er stared at him fiercely, so he didn't dare to cough anymore.

After glaring at Cheng Biting Jin, Li Er smiled and said: "Okay, Lu Ting, this king has shortcomings, even if you say it, no matter what you say, this king will forgive you for your innocence, if you say it right, there will be a reward." ”

Lu Ting didn't seem to notice everyone's expressions and hints, and after thanking him, he said loudly: "The prince has four things that he didn't do well, one of which is that his heart is too soft and he is unfair; second, not abiding by the rules and regulations, often taking the lead in violating; third, not caring enough about the people around him; The last point is to ignore the big picture. ”

How dare you say it.

Du Ru shook his head secretly, revealing a look of pity.

Cheng bit Jin Pu's big slap and covered his face, and he didn't look at it.

A trace of unconfidence flashed in Li Er's eyes, but he still smiled and said: "This king just said, no one is perfect, well said, Lu Ting, you go on, talk about it in detail." ”

A person who has just entered the Qin Palace, can find so many shortcomings in himself, is the difficulty really so unbearable?

Lu Ting said with a straight face: "The first point is that the prince is too good to his subordinates, and when he sees his subordinates in difficulty, he will help, Wuyitang is the best example, he can't bear to be displaced by those retired veterans, regardless of the tight account of the Qin Palace, he would rather reduce food and clothing and support them, some subordinates who made mistakes should have been punished, but the prince repeatedly gave them opportunities, but he was too soft-hearted and unfair. ”

"Second, the prince often goes up in advance and postpones the next duty, and he refuses to relax even on holidays, taking the lead in violating the vacation system."

"Third, from the news that his subordinates have witnessed and heard, the prince is often obsessed with work, puts Datang in the first place, and does not care enough about the princess and several princes, listening to Uncle Cheng, the little prince does not dare to recognize the prince, and he obviously does not care enough about the people around him."

"The last point, the prince is the most important person in the Qin Palace, but the prince often works wholeheartedly, often forgets to sleep and eat, does not pay attention to rest, the body is the biggest capital of a person, if you are tired, what should we do if we are subordinates, it is too disregarded to the overall situation, for the Qin Palace, the health of the prince is the top priority, please pay attention to the body, and focus on the overall situation."

As soon as the words fell, the audience was silent, and everyone present was stunned.

God, pointing out the shortcomings of the prince, can it still be said like this?

For a while, people looked at Lu Ting differently.

Du Ruhui and Zheng Yuanxuan looked at Lu Ting, as if they wanted to get to know him again, they thought he was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, but they didn't expect him to be a little fox, openly and secretly praised.

Cheng Yanjin looked at Lu Ting, relieved and red-eyed, this kid is even more clever than he imagined.

Oh my God, such a good sycophant skill, why didn't I expect it, and missed a great opportunity.

Cheng Yanjin's eyes rolled, he stood up and said with a straight face: "Lord Wang, what I wanted to say just now is the same as what Lu Ting said, but my mouth is stupid, and I didn't say it for a while." ”

Everyone gave him a roll of the eyes, this bastard was not stingy, he was playing tricks in front, insisting on not being a head bird, and when he saw that there was a benefit, he immediately rubbed it again, shameless.

Even Li Er also had a crying and laughing expression.

I don't know how to say it.

Du Ruhui nodded and said: "My subordinates feel that the prince is a little unfair and too strict with himself, but he is too lenient with his subordinates. ”

"The prince is too good to his subordinates, and if he has any good things, he will reward his subordinates, which will make his subordinates easy to be proud and not want to forge ahead." The eldest grandson Wuji's mind turned quickly, and he immediately added.

Fang Xuanling was not to be left behind, and said: "The prince often takes the lead in the charge on the battlefield, and he doesn't care about his body too much, so please think twice." ”

.....

None of the people who could sit on the table were simple characters, one by one imitating Lu Ting's way of pointing out mistakes, and pointed out more than ten "deficiencies" to Li Er at once. ”

Hearing this, Li Er couldn't help but surrender, waved his hands and said, "Okay, the shortcomings you pointed out, this king will reflect on it." ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head to Lu Ting and said, "Lu Ting, didn't you bring new wine, what about the wine, this king will taste it and see how it is." ”

The first time Lu Ting asked for his own business, he asked for a wine-making license, and he attached great importance to it, the wine smelled good just now, but he didn't know until he tasted it.

I wanted to give myself a "reflection", so that Lu Ting, a stinky boy, mixed it up, and it became a song of merit and virtue in disguise, so how can I reflect.

I'll talk about that later.

Lu Ting didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked people to bring the wine up.

With Zhang Heng's lesson, before Lu Ting poured wine, he first told everyone the precautions, and then poured wine for everyone.

Cheng Biting Jin and the others' reactions were similar to Zhang Heng and Duan Xiaoliu, first shocked, then a good boast, and then a fight for wine, Lu Ting said that the wine was too strong, and persuaded everyone to drink less, but I didn't expect that the more they persuaded them, the more energetic they became, and when the banquet was dispersed, three jars of wine, three buckets of wine, and there was not a drop left.

There are a total of twenty people in the two seats, and one person is less than a second-hand pound of wine, which doesn't seem to be much, but like Lu Deming, Kong Yingda, Yao Silian, these Wenchen, most of them drink three or five taels to the top, and the ones who drank the most are Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chi Jingde, who refused to admit defeat, and the half-catty wine bowl was dried eight bowls per person, and after the last two people vomited on the ground, they all poured.

After the banquet was dismissed, five people were going to be carried out, and six or seven people were obviously drunk, either talking to themselves or dancing hand and foot, Li Er couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only cancel the meeting and change it to the next day.

Drunk drunk, poured down, the rest of the people, their eyes are a little blurred, obviously not in a state, what else to discuss.

Lu Ting drank less, was not drunk, and was called into the study by Li Er.
