Chapter 22: The Storm at the Dinner Party

A pin of incense is heavily guarded, today the prefect of the prefect feasted the officials from the capital, a pin of incense to the charter, the building and the outside of the building can be seen everywhere hanging a knife on the waist of the government officer, and the third floor of the private room Zhao prefect is the first and sitting next to Wu Neng and Zhao Lang in the push cup to change the lamp, chatting is not intimate.

"This lord, this official has a bad memory, what do you call it?" Governor Zhao drank a lot, and he was already faintly drunk, watching Shen Chongming drink himself without speaking, he couldn't help but be a little angry, although this guy is a Beijing official, but he is also a small seven-pin, and he doesn't say that he respects himself as the host after the banquet, and he is really a bit of a jerk.

Before Shen Chongming could speak, Zhao Langzhong's face on the side turned red and fluttered a little and said: "My lord doesn't know, this Lord Shen is the emperor's hand-picked Jinke Tanhua, not only that, but he is also the proud protΓ©gΓ© of Lord Shangshu Gao of the Ministry of Rites, and he is an absolute pillar of talent." ”

Governor Zhao was startled, his head suddenly cleared up a lot, and even Wu Neng's on the side showed a look of surprise, he never knew that this Lord Shen had such a deep background all the way, no wonder he always felt that Zhao Langzhong's attitude towards him was a little wrong.

"It's disrespectful, this official respects Lord Shen with a cup." Governor Zhao was full of smiles, but he was worried in his heart, if he really didn't show his face, he had to tell Lord Cai about this matter, but he couldn't snub this Lord Shen.

Shen Chongming hurriedly raised his glass and said with a smile: "Lord Zhao is polite, and the lower officials dare not be the official." ”

Next, Shen Chongming became the central figure of the banquet, and the officials who came to accompany Zhao Governor Wu Neng and the political secretary took turns to appear and toast one by one.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, all the adults were drunk, and Governor Zhao stood up from afar, and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, in order to catch the wind for everyone today, the official specially invited the famous Yanyu Lou Qingqi people in the south of the Yangtze River to sing songs for the adults, hehe." ”

As he spoke, Governor Zhao clapped his hands gently, and the door was gently pushed open, and a graceful woman walked in slowly, wearing a light veil and suddenly falling into the mortal world.

"The little woman Yan Yumeng has seen all the adults." Looking at Yan Yumeng, Shen Chongming couldn't help but be dumbfounded, he actually ran into it on such an occasion.

Yan Yumeng kept his head down, he didn't notice Shen Chongming at all, and after saluting, he turned around and sat behind the guqin that had just been set up by the little second brother, not much, and stretched out his hand to play slowly.

It sounds good or not Shen Chongming didn't know it himself but looking at the eyes of the people around him straightened and knew that these people were not on the tune he couldn t help but shook his head man ah.

Before the song was finished, Wu Neng couldn't wait to stand up, picked up a glass of wine and walked towards Yan Yumeng.

"Hehe, beauty, how about having a drink with Lord Ben?" As he spoke, he stretched out the wine glass in front of Yan Yumeng.

Yan Yumeng had already heard the footsteps, but he didn't look at the wine glass in front of him, and quietly turned sideways and continued to play.

"Huh? Hehe, I like it. Wu Neng suddenly played a hooligan as if no one was there, and even reached out to pick up Yan Yumeng's veil.

Everyone also laughed and laughed, and they all looked lively with great interest, after all, she was just a singer, and she was not a lady, and Lord Wu took a fancy to her because of her creation.

"Your Excellency, please respect yourself." Yan Yumeng stopped playing the tune, got up and took two steps back to avoid Wu Neng's salty pig hand, and said a little angrily.

These words seriously hurt Wu Neng's face, and his eyes widened and he shouted: "Bold! ”

'Bang', Shen Chongming put down the cup heavily, startling Wu Neng, who was about to get angry, and everyone was also stunned, not knowing which tendon of this Lord Shen was wrong.

Shen Chongming didn't explain, got up and walked over to Yan Yumeng, who was trembling slightly, "Miss Yan, how are you doing?" ”

Seeing Shen Chongming, Yan Yumeng couldn't help but be stunned, and then showed a hint of joy, it seems that this blushing man is really an official.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly saluted and said, "With Lord Lao Shen concerned, everything is fine with the little woman." ”

"Hehe, it's not early, if the girl doesn't dislike it, I'll send you back." As he spoke, Shen Chongming turned back to everyone and said, "My lords, the lower officials have some personal matters, so I will retire first." Saying that, no matter how Yan Yumeng felt, he took his hand and walked out, leaving only the dumbfounded Wu Neng stunned with a wine glass.

The atmosphere was awkward, and Governor Zhao didn't expect that because of a Yan Yumeng, the situation would be like this, so he quickly got up and said, "Oh, the official hasn't drunk yet, let's not get drunk today." As he spoke, he walked over to Wu Neng with a wine glass, and said with a smile: "Lord Wu, this official respects you for a drink." ”

Wu Neng nodded expressionlessly, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, raised his head and said to Governor Zhao: "Lord Zhao, the lower official suddenly felt unwell, so I will leave first, and everyone will eat and drink well." With that, he turned and walked out.

Things became like this, and everyone was not in the mood to drink, and after chatting for a while, they got up and said goodbye, leaving only a few officials from the Zhao Governor's Mansion and the Buzheng Department sitting there looking at each other.

"Alas, this thing, alas." Governor Zhao sighed helplessly, and his heart was already worried about how to explain to Guo Mingyi and Cai Wenyuan when he went back.

"Lord Shen, thank you very much." There were few pedestrians on the streets of Hangzhou at night, only Shen Chongming accompanied Yan Yumeng to walk forward slowly, and when he came, the small sedan chair of the Yamen came, and then the trouble broke up, Yan Yumeng naturally did not have this treatment, and at the same time she didn't want to sit on the sedan chair anymore.

"Hehe, Miss Yan is polite, what I hate the most is Wu Neng's shameless person." Shen Chongming said with a smile.

Yan Yumeng smiled slightly, the sea breeze on the autumn night couldn't help but shiver, Shen Chongming saw it, and wanted to take off his clothes very gentlemanly and put them on her, but after taking off this official robe, there was only a short coat left, not to mention whether it was cold or not, it was really a little indecent.

After a pause, Shen Chongming stretched out his hand and hugged Yan Yumeng, although his face was ordinary, but he was careful to tom and jump, if he didn't close his mouth, it was very likely to be called out.

Yan Yumeng's body stiffened, and slowly leaned his head on Shen Chongming's chest, two blushes rising on his face.

The two of them were silent all the way, until they arrived in front of the Yanyu Building, Yan Yumeng slowly pulled away Shen Chongming's arm, raised his head and said, "Lord Shen, Yumeng has arrived, thank you." ”

Good time always flies too quickly, Shen Chongming inhaled the aroma rising from his chest, and couldn't help but say: "Miss Yan, if this happened today, let's go in and help you explain, so as not to be wronged again." I live in Hangzhou Station, where can I find me if there is anything"

In Shen Chongming's opinion, Yan Yumeng is just a weak woman, if something goes wrong in this church, the evil bustard will definitely clean her up, as a man, he should stand up to protect the weak.

Yan Yumeng smiled slightly and nodded lightly.

"Miss, you can be regarded as coming back, you haven't been taken advantage of by them, have you?" Xiao Qing, who had been waiting restlessly in front of the door, saw Yan Yumeng, and hurriedly ran up to ask, knowing that after speaking, he saw Shen Chongming, and couldn't help but be stunned and stupid?

"Shen, Shen Gongzi?!" Xiaoqing asked in disbelief, when did this guy who can't chant poetry become an official.

"Hehe, I haven't seen Miss Xiaoqing for a few days, and I'm more beautiful." Shen Chongming laughed and joked.

Xiaoqing couldn't help but blush, her two hands didn't know where to put them, in order to avoid embarrassment, she pulled Yan Yumeng and walked in, and Shen Chongming hurriedly followed.

"Yo, Mom's good daughter is back, is the prefect satisfied?" The old bustard, who was greeting the guests, hurriedly greeted Yan Yumeng and asked when he saw Yan Yumeng coming back.

As soon as Yan Yumeng talked about this, he was angry, if he hadn't happened to meet Shen Gongzi who had a relationship today, the consequences would be unimaginable. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look back at Shen Chongming gratefully.

"Ahem." Seeing that the old bustard didn't see him, Shen Chongming couldn't help coughing dryly, so as to remind her.

"Yo, this adult is ......" Looking at Shen Chongming, who was standing in the hall of the brothel in an official robe, the old bustard and the people around him couldn't help but be dumbfounded, Grandpa, there are a lot of strange things every year, and I have never seen that official come to prostitute in an official robe.

Shen Chongming didn't know that his dress had caused a sensation, and said to the old bustard with a majestic face: "Go out with this official, I have something to tell you." With that, he nodded at Yan Yumeng and turned around and walked out of the hall.

"Yo, what do you have to say, this lord, the slave family must obey." The old bustard twisted his waist and asked with a smile.

"The prefect is not very satisfied with today's matter, but Miss Yan is not to blame for the matter, and you don't have to embarrass her, understand?" Shen Chongming said solemnly.

The old bustard was stunned for a moment, and said with a panicked expression: "This adult, did this dead girl offend that adult?" ”

"Presumptuous, didn't you hear what the official said clearly? Don't blame Miss Yan for this matter, if someone comes to find trouble, you will report the name of your official Shen Chongming, and the acquaintance will naturally get out. As he spoke, Shen Chongming stuffed a silver ticket worth 100 taels into the hand of the puzzled old bustard.

"Miss Yan is not in good health, let her take care of her these days, remember?"

"Remember, remember, my lord, you can rest assured." The old bustard suddenly realized, and a trace of joy flashed in his heart, it seems that this Lord Shen has taken a fancy to our daughter, and look at this posture, it is clear that even the prefect does not pay attention to his eyesight, it is really good that our Yanyulou can climb this high branch.

"Just remember, go back and talk to Miss Yan, the official will go back first, and I'll come to see him another day when I have time." After that, Shen Chongming ran directly to a carriage not far away, this is specially for pulling guests, let's also have a luxury.
