Since it was an official banquet, naturally Han Xiufeng couldn't be asked to pay for it.

Wang Qianli not only helped the shopkeeper to buy a table of seats, but also found an envelope and stuffed it with one hundred taels of silver tickets, marked "one axis of longevity picture" on the envelope, and then waited at the door of the hall.

When Rong Lu came to the banquet, he found that Rong Lu also brought a member of the Ministry of Labor, Wang Qianli warmly welcomed the two into the flower hall, and waited for Han Xiufeng, Shi Zanqing and Huang Zhongyin and Ji Yunfei to accompany the two guests to sit down, and under the pretext of going out to see if Yongxiang had arrived, he hurriedly prepared a shaft of "Baishou Map".

It was still early, and Yongxiang had not arrived, so everyone sat down to drink a few sips of tea, exchanged a few words, and then visited the hall accompanied by Han Xiufeng and Huang Zhongyin.

Wenxiang was born as a scholar, so he naturally wanted to worship Emperor Wenchang.

Coming out of Wenchang Pavilion and walking into the Xiangxian Temple opposite, he knew that Chongqing Mansion was such a remote place, and there were so many Jinshi Hanlin since the Shunzhi Dynasty. Seeing the portrait of General Hu Chao and the spiritual seat of the Chongqing military attache who had just entered the Xiangxian Temple due to the peaceful chaos in the past two years, Rong Lu was even more emotional.

"Brother Zhixing, can I put incense on General Zhenwei?" Rong Lu asked back.

Han Xiufeng knew that his father and his uncle had fought with Xiang Rong to quell the chaos before their deaths, and his grandfather and General Hu had also served together in the northwest, and he was martyred in the northwest to quell the rebellion, so he said without thinking: "Why not, if General Hu knows that the old man will give him incense after he knows about it, his old man's spirit in the sky will definitely be very pleased." ”

"Thank you." Rong Lu arched his hand, then walked to the incense case and took out three incense sticks, held them to the oil lamp and lit them, and then held the incense to the statue of General Zhenwei three times, and bowed respectfully before inserting the incense into the incense burner.

When everyone was about to return to the flower hall after paying their respects to the sages of Chongqing Mansion, Rong Lu suddenly remembered something, and actually took out a handful of scattered silver and put it in the merit box in the corner.

His behavior of worshipping and giving money for incense surprised Huang Zhongyin, Ji Yunfei and Shi Zanqing, not because he was a Manchurian who would worship the sages of the Han people, but because he was only eighteen or nineteen years old, and the children of the Eight Banners who were so old with him were rich and lustful, and those who had no money were eating and waiting for death, it was rare for him to be so sensible.

Just when Huang Zhongyin and others felt that Rong Lu's future was limitless, Yongxiang came in accompanied by Wang Qianli, and as soon as he came in, he was busy telling everyone about his crimes.

"Lord Lianshun went to my Nanying today to inspect, and he was on official business, but he really couldn't leave just now, so I made you wait for a long time, I really can't help it."

"We didn't have to wait long, and besides, it mattered about the errand. Brother Bochuan and Brother Zhonghua, do you two say it? ”

"Yes, yes, we've just arrived." Wen Xiang didn't expect that Yongxiang, who was still begging for people everywhere years ago, is now a guerrilla in the patrol battalion that commands 3,000 horses, infantry, and guards, and he didn't expect that he and Han Xiufeng have only been colleagues for more than half a year, and the relationship is so good, and even through Han Xiufeng, he has made friends with Huang Zhongyin, Ji Yunfei and Shi Zanqing and other Jinshi Hanlin.

Rong Lu was young after all, and while following everyone into the flower hall, he said bluntly: "Yongxiang, although Lianshun is your superior, I think it's better for you not to get too close to him." ”

Without waiting for Yongxiang to speak, Han Xiufeng asked curiously, "Brother Zhonghua, have you heard anything?" ”

"I've heard about some Lianshun," Thinking that there was an imperial history here, Rong Lu couldn't help but smile sideways: "Brother Zhixing, I estimate that Master Huang must have heard of it." ”

"Brother Yongzhu, what's going on?" Han Xiufeng turned around and asked.

Huang Zhongyin was stunned, and said lightly: "The saints are thick, and they have the support of the king of Dingjun, and now the scenery is beautiful, and even the Five Cities Procuratorate is not in his eyes." ”

Seeing Yongxiang's embarrassed face, Han Xiufeng realized that his current boss should have offended the Imperial History of the City Patrol.

If you just offend the imperial history of the city patrol, it's nothing, at most you will be impeached. Thinking of his boss's boss---- the current commander of the infantry army, Dingjun Wang Zaiquan, seemed to have a bad relationship with Su Shun and Su Shun's brother Prince Zheng Duanhua, Han Xiufeng couldn't help but smile and said, "Yongxiang, it seems that you have to be careful." ”

"Master Han, I am a little guerrilla, I can neither offend Shangguan, nor can I offend the king of Dingjun......"

"Don't talk about this, you just have a number in your heart, Brother Bochuan, Zhonghua, Brother Yonghuan, Yongxiang has finally arrived, let's take the table."

"Brother Han, please."

"Today, you and Zhonghua are guests, please two of you."

"Yes, Bochuan, you and Zhonghua are guests today......

Han Xiufeng, Huang Zhongyin and Ji Yunfei invited, and insisted on pulling Wen Xiang and Rong Lu to sit in the position of the guest of honor, and then pulled Shi Zanqing to the top, and then sat down with Yongxiang and Wang Qianli to accompany them.

Only then did Wen Xiang and Rong Lu realize that this wine was invited by the Yongding River Yamen, and then they realized that although Han Xiufeng was no longer a river member, he did not sit idly by and ignore what happened to the River Yamen.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Everyone naturally talked about the war situation, among all the people present, Han Xiufeng had stayed in Yangzhou and been to Shanghai, and only Han Xiufeng was in battle to kill Changmao, but not only did he not talk about it, but he even rarely expressed his opinions. He just sat there quietly and listened, nodding his head slightly from time to time, and didn't say a few words until he was asked.

It was only at this moment that Wen Xiang really believed what Rong Lu said in the afternoon. Because of such a cautious person, how can he be obedient and domineering. I thought that the reason why those people outside thought that Han Xiufeng was a Sushun person, nine times out of ten, it was similar to the current Yongxiang, but he was just a high-flying boss.

Secretly sighing, Huang Zhongyin suddenly smiled and said: "Zhixing, when I came back, I heard that Prince Gong and Mu Yin were too busy to have the existing military aircraft Zhang Jing because of the many military affairs. ”

"Really? Han Xiufeng asked subconsciously.

"What are you lying about, it is said that those three have already entered the value."

Wen Xiang reacted, couldn't help but put down his chopsticks and smiled: "Zhixing, so that those Chinese books in the cabinet can no longer be jealous of you." Your extra walking on the military plane Zhangjing not only did not block their path to ascension, but made their ascension path wider, and if anyone targets you again, it will be too unconscionable! ”

"What Bo Chuan said is extremely true, the people still know that the draft can not forget to dig wells, and now it is equivalent to increasing the number of four 'small military aircraft', not only the cabinet, but even the director of the six ministries and Lang Zhong want to enter the direct military aircraft department is much easier than before."

"Brother Yongzhu, you can't say that, what kind of well digger am I, the emperor is the well digger! They don't need to thank me, but they should thank the emperor. ”

"Yes, yes, the emperor is the well digger!"

Talking and laughing, the wine was drunk quickly, and the time passed quickly, and when the banquet was over, Rong Lu was already drunk and staggered, if it weren't for Wang Qianli's support, he would have been unable to walk.

Han Xiufeng and everyone helped Wen Xiang and Rong Lu into the carriage, and Wang Qianli lost no time in sending the "two-axis hundred longevity map", and mentioned the reimbursement of the river work with an embarrassed face.

Wen Xiang had expected that they would have something to ask for, but he didn't expect it to be reimbursement, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Rong Lu didn't know if it was because he was drunk, but he still felt that it was not difficult to do, so he held on to the carriage door and said with a smile: "What's the matter, take care of me, I'll go and tell those grandsons early tomorrow morning, you wait to listen to the letter." ”

"Master Rong, this is tiring."

"It's not a lot of work. Brother Zhixing and Brother Yongzhu, I can't drink today, take a step first, and I'll be the East ...... another day."

……

Han Xiufeng saw off the carriage that Wen Xiang and Rong Lu were riding, and was about to tiptoe to see if the other carriage driven by Feng Xiaobao's cousin Feng Xiaobao had arrived, Yu Youfu ran over from the shadows, and said in his ear: "Fourth Master, Tuktan, Shen Jia, Ming'an and other masters have been waiting for you for an afternoon, and Fugui, Master Yun, Master Jiang, Mr. Gu, Su Jueming, Guisheng, and Changchun are also all there. Mr. Wang said that it was rare for them to get together, so he didn't let them go. ”

Huang Zhongyin and Ji Yunfei realized that Han Xiufeng had something, and immediately smiled: "Zhixing, if you have something, go back first, Brother Ci and Qianli live in the hall anyway, there are us here, we will help you greet you." ”

"Brother Yongzhu, Brother Bowen, then please."

"What are you talking about, let's get busy."

Han Xiufeng looked at Shi Zanqing and Wang Qianli, who had just sent the carriage that Wen Xiang and Rong Lu were riding to the entrance of the alley, and the carriage that Feng Xiaobao had driven had already come from the west, and he made a gesture with the two fellow villagers again, and then climbed into the carriage and went home.

When I got home, I saw that the front yard was brightly lit.

Yun Qijun, Jiang Zhengxin, Gu Jinyan and others were sitting on both sides of the main hall with Tuktan, Ming'an, Shen Jia and other Manchurian officials from Su Shun Baoju, and the wealthy eldest son Ji Lu was waiting on the side with a teapot.

Seeing Master Han return home, everyone got up and saluted.

Han Xiufeng signaled that they didn't need to be polite, walked to the Taishi chair in the middle and sat down, and then took the resumes of Tuktan and the others from Yun Qijun's hand, and said in a low voice while looking at it: "Ji Lu, go and invite Mr. Wang." ”

"Huh!" Ji Lu answered, and hurriedly put down the teapot and ran into the inner courtyard to invite Wang Naizeng.

"You must be very strange how this official came so easily." Han Xiufeng put down his resume, and looked at Tuktan and the others: "It must be very strange why Lord Su Shun asked you to come to see this official after waiting for the official certificate, now I can tell you that this official is easy to come, but it is not so easy to start, I want to do this official well...... To be precise, it is not so simple to do a good job of the errand assigned by the emperor! ”

It has something to do with the emperor!

Except for Yun Qijun, who knew a little bit of the inside story, everyone was surprised.

"As for what kind of errands to do after taking office, Mr. Wang Naizeng, a friend of this official, will not only explain to you in the future, but will also go out of Beijing with you in two days. What this official wants to say now is that the next errand to be done pays attention to the word 'secret', if anyone dares to leak half a sentence, even if it is inadvertently leaked, he will not only lose his official position but also lose his head at that time! ”
