Huang Ma is just a local eye, no matter how high his status in Sicheng Prefecture is, it is only limited to one place, in fact, he has only been fortunate to see Guangxi once more than ten years ago in his half of his life.

At that time, it was because of the succession of the new monarch of Emperor Longqing, the first battle between Xu Jie and Gao Gong, and the entire Ming officialdom was being adjusted, and Cen Shaoxun took him to Guilin to inquire about the news to see if there was any change in the imperial court's attitude towards Guangxi Tusi. That time, he followed Cen Shaoxun and met with the then Guangxi Governor.

Speaking of which, he was also very impressed that time, because Cen Shaoxun was an uncrowned king of Guixi, and he was sent to the procuratorate for almost ten days, and the old man received him with great mercy.

In Huang Ma's memory, in addition to being at least twenty years older than Gao Pragmatic, the expression of the old man was exactly the same as Gao Pragmatic's previous outside Lingyun City. ”

Later, when Cen Shaoxun left, the old man didn't even make the move to get up, let alone send off the guests in person - don't even think about it. Even the phrase "easy to go" sounds extremely perfunctory, no matter how you listen to it, it just seems to show that the master still understands etiquette.

So much so that Huang Ma couldn't help but wonder when she faced Gao Pragmatic indifference today, maybe the master of the stage is like this?

After all, people are in charge of officials, and local officials are afraid that they will not be lowered before they open their mouths - well, it may be more than one.

So, in the face of high and pragmatic pomp, Huang Ma had to endure it.

He explained to himself in his heart: What am I angry about, there are still a lot of toasts here, and there is even a Zhen'an Prefecture prefect Cen Qifeng, didn't he even fart?

Anyway, this patrol is to take a turn, judging from his performance in Guinan, it is great to stay in Lingyun City for ten days and half a month, I will put up with him, and as soon as he leaves after half a month, Lingyun City is still my Huangma's Lingyun City!

There are indeed a lot of toasts today, in addition to Cen Qifeng, the prefect of Zhen'an Prefecture, there are a large number of Tusi in other states and counties, such as Tianzhou Cen Dalu, Nadi Luo Ruiqian, Xia Lei Xu Zongyin, Anding Pan Chengji, Long Ying Zhao Bangding, Guishun Cen Jin, Donglan Wei Wentao, Wan Cheng Xu Guolian, Xu Zonghui, Dukang Feng Ji, Baishan Zewang Guan, Yongshun Deng Deyang, Peng Dawu, Xinglong Weiguan, Nandan Mo Dahou, Xincheng Mo Zhenwei, Hurun Cen Shousong, Xia Wangwei Xianwei, Gu Ling Qin Wenxian, An Long Cen Hong, Wujing Cen Qingbao and so on.

Gao Pragmatic doesn't know much about Cen Qifeng, or what Huang Zhiting told him before, Huang Zhiting said: "Qifeng is weak and not good at the people, and he is thin on the people." ”

To put it simply, this guy is usually an otaku and doesn't show up much at all, so the Tumu and Tumin of Zhen'an Mansion don't take him very seriously.

However, Huang Zhiting added another point, saying: "He is in charge of the affairs of the mansion by living in the city, and Wen is quite capable, so that the town is not chaotic." ”

That is to say, although Cen Qifeng's level is average, he uses a steward named Cen Wen from the same sect, and this person has a good level, so he can ensure that there is no chaos in Zhen'an Mansion.

There is nothing special worth mentioning about the banquet, except that the ingredients must be all natural, Gao Pragmatic, a guy who is used to luxury, will not feel other benefits, anyway, the meat tube is enough, even if it is a good meal in Guangxi in this era.

Because Gao Pragmatic's style is a little too big, everyone at the banquet did not dare to toast him at will, only the local prefect Cen Qifeng of Zhen'an Mansion was the highest official among the Tusi present after all, and the otaku belonged to the otaku, which was still the last word, so he stepped forward to toast Gao Pragmatic.

Gao pragmatic gave face, raised his glass, and took a sip, Cen Qifeng naturally didn't dare to hold it up like this, and drank it all in one cup of wine.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, a group of toasts are pragmatic and just drink lightly, but there is nothing out of the ordinary, I can't help but gradually begin to let go of my arms, one by one I drank the wine and my ears were hot, and the voice of the voice gradually became louder.

Cen Qifeng Cen otaku suddenly sighed, and said: "Everything is fine today, but Shaoxun can't come forward, it's a pity, it's strange to say, Shaoxun used to be strong and strong, why did he suddenly become sick like this?" ”

Huang Ma scolded secretly in his heart: This street boy is really a pot that can't be opened, you just pour your yellow soup well, what kind of nonsense Cen Shaoxun!

However, after all, he is the prefect of Zhen'an Prefecture, and now he has the highest official position among these Tusi, since he has spoken, Huang Ma can't react at all, so he has to smile and say: "It's really regrettable, and the lowly people are also sighing...... However, today is not only a big gathering of people, but also a gathering of sages, but it is difficult to talk about these things on such a good day. Come, Lord, please drink this cup to your heart's content! ”

Cen Qifeng really had a drink with him with a smile, but he didn't have any severance, but he didn't seem to understand what people were saying, obviously Huang Ma had already said so, but he still refused to let Cen Shaoxun go.

It's just that this time he didn't mention Cen Shaoxun himself, but said: "I heard that Shaoxun took a concubine a few years ago, but it was the Xu girl from Huadangzhai?" Oh, Miss Xu was famous back then, and even the official had heard of it, especially when she heard that she could dance a kind of Tianzhu, which was very mysterious...... Hehe, I'd like to see it. ”

Huang Ma's face turned a little cold, and he said unhappily: "Fuzun is drunk." ”

"Drunk? Joke, since I Cen Qifeng took office at the age of fifteen, I have drunk three times a day, how have I ever been drunk? He showed a lewd smile, looked around, and said to the toasts present, "Haven't you heard of Miss Xu's Tianzhu Dance?" What is the name of the magic dance, I heard that not only is it less dressed, but it is also ...... Ha ha! ”

There are few toasts present who have read too many books, and it is inevitable that they are vulgar and unliterate, and now they have drunk a seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, or eight, and they are all coaxed when they hear the words, and someone shouted: "Since there is such a wonderful place, anyway, the left and right are just concubines, why don't you please come out and give it to us...... Oh, how about a dance on the stage? ”

This call is good, and someone immediately responded: "This is extremely true, this is extremely true, Shao Xun can't come out by himself, whether he is sick or what, in short, it is a loss of manners, let this concubine come out to perform a dance, according to the old man's opinion, it is very reasonable, very reasonable!" ”

Hey, you're an "old man", and this kind of Yaxing?

A lot of rough billets shouted one after another, only the faces of Sicheng Prefecture were uncertain, Cen Shaoxun was also their justifiable Shangguan Tusi no matter what, this group of people was really a little unreasonable. Cen Ling's face was also a little ugly, and he didn't speak with a cold face.

However, the most ugly face was actually Huang Ma, staring at Cen Qifeng with a pair of eyes, and his eyes were full of coldness.

But for some reason, maybe Cen Qifeng said that he hadn't been drunk and was just bragging, but he actually turned a blind eye to the expressions of the people in Sicheng Prefecture present, and instead asked Gao pragmatic with a smile: "According to the stage, what do you think of this idea?" ”

Gao Pragmatic seemed to be a little distracted just now, holding a wine glass and seemed to be thinking about something, and was asked by Cen Qifeng like this, so he came back to his senses, looked around, and then snorted, and said: "You want to see it yourself, but don't play the banner of this press, this press has been studying hard since childhood, far from silk and bamboo and close to classics, for dance or something, but I don't have much knowledge, and I can't talk about any interest." ”

The faces of the people in Sicheng Prefecture were slightly fixed, and Cen Ling's gaze at him was also extremely soft, and even Huang Ma's gaze seemed to be a little grateful.

However, the rest of the toast did not agree, and someone laughed: "Eh, according to the stage, this is bad, it is precisely because I haven't seen any dance before on the stage, so I feel that it is not worth mentioning, but I don't know that this Tianzhu Demon Dance is not like my Daming, it is extremely fragrant, and I must like it after watching it on the stage." ”

Huang Ma finally couldn't help it this time, stood up and said: "Everyone who comes to Lingyun City as a guest, we are naturally welcome, but if you are so open-mouthed, don't blame Huang for violating the way of hospitality!" ”

"Yo? The loess is really majestic. The former self-proclaimed old man's toast said: "The old man is Shaoxun's ancestor in terms of seniority, even he is here, and he doesn't dare to talk to the old man like this, where did your Huangma grow onions, and you dare to speak so boldly in front of the old man, huh?" ”

Everyone turned their heads to look, and it turned out that this person was Cen Jin of Tuzhi Prefecture in Shunzhou. Guishun Prefecture is also Zhili Prefecture, although the strength is not as good as Sicheng, but there is a Zhen'an Mansion between Guishun and Sicheng, even if Sicheng ignores the imperial court's admonition and forcibly sends troops to attack, he is not very afraid - after all, there is a Zhen'an Mansion in front.

But Huang Ma's own family knows about his own affairs, how can Sicheng Prefecture have the ability to send troops to attack other places now? He Huangma himself usually refuses to even come out of Lingyun City, after all, except for Lingyun City, the other territories in Sicheng Prefecture are all controlled by Cen Ling, do you go out to deliver food to the door?

His confidence is all in Lingyun City, and now he ...... It is in Lingyun City!

"Old horseman, dare to insult me!" Huang Ma was furious and shouted: "Come on, give me ......"

"Huang Shoubei!" Gao Shishi suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted him: "I came to Lingyun City, not to see you to play prestige. ”

Huang Ma was embarrassed, he was a little hesitant, he didn't know if Gao Pragmatic had any other meaning when he said this, whether he was biased in favor of Cen Jin, or simply not allowed to see someone too arrogant in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost for a while.

At this time, Gao was pragmatic but said to Cen Jin: "Cen Thorn History, you don't have to say a few words." Then he turned his head to Cen Qifeng and said, "And Cen Taishou, if you don't watch the dance, can't you drink this wine?" ”

Thorn history is the Ming people's honorific title for Zhizhou; Taishou is the honorific title of the Ming people for the prefect.

Cen Jin coughed dryly, didn't speak, and sat down. Cen Qifeng smiled and said, "I don't know what I have to do on the stage, the lower officials don't have to watch this Xu girl dance, but there is another reason." ”
