Chapter Seventy-Three: A Cup of Wine Goes Down
"Humph! offended the prince of the king, no wonder he didn't even have a dispatch and his own official, I don't know what arrogance is? Ma Binrui snorted coldly.
His voice was not loud, but it was harsh enough, and the audience suddenly fell silent again, and some of the people who were chatting with Zhang Bin just now couldn't help but look stunned, and even their faces changed slightly, and they distanced themselves from Zhang Bin without a trace, and even retreated directly and quietly to their own positions.
Zhang Bin looked at Ma Binrui coldly, Su Guo looked angry, pointed at Ma Binrui and shouted: "The surname is Ma, you are so shameless." ”
Ma Binrui ignored Su Guo, pointed at Zhang Bin and sneered: "You are a small person, you are lucky to have made a contribution at the border pass, what if you are rewarded, you can be regarded as an official without sending and being an official." And now that you have offended Wang Xianggong, don't think about it in this life......"
"Don't think about it?" Suddenly, there was a shouting from downstairs.
Immediately afterwards, an official of thirty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a five-grade official uniform and a silverfish bag tied around his waist, walked up.
Many people recognized the identity of this person, and immediately stepped forward and bowed: "The lower official pays a visit to the shipping envoy." ”
This person is none other than the core figure of the New Party, the number one cadre next to Vice Minister Wang Anshi, and Xue Xiang, the shipping envoy in charge of the implementation of the Equal Loss Law.
Ma Binrui also ran over and said with a flattering face: "Xiaguan Ma Binrui visited the shipping envoy." ”
Xue Xiang glanced at Ma Binrui contemptuously, ignored it, and did not return the salute, but walked in front of Zhang Bin and nodded slightly. ”
"Ru Linlang doesn't need to be polite." Xue Xiang smiled and spoke, while taking out a name card from his arms, handing it over with both hands, and said: "This official sent a name card to Ru Linlang for the prince Wang, if Ru Linlang has time, please go to the minister's mansion after the minister leaves the palace today." ”
Zhang Bin's eyes narrowed, thinking that Wang Anshi had finally not disappointed himself, he took the name card with both hands, bowed down and said, "Xiaguan will definitely visit Wang Xianggong before this evening." ”
Xue Xiangdian breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Zhang Bin would be angry with Wang Anshi's subordinates who drove him away, and rejected Wang Anshi's name, glanced at Ma Binrui, who was shocked and depressed, Xue Xiang said: "Ru Linlang, do you want this official to teach you a lesson for this young man." ”
Ma Binrui's face suddenly turned red like a monkey's buttocks, and he was extremely angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to be angry with Xue Xiang.
Zhang Bin glanced at Ma Binrui sarcastically, and said, "Thank you for the shipment, such a young man will clean up by himself." ”
Xue Xiang is very busy these days, and after delivering the name post, he said a few words and left by himself.
Ma Binrui couldn't stay any longer, and left with his head down and in the contempt of everyone.
Immediately afterwards, because of Ma Binrui's words just now, he quietly distanced himself from Zhang Bin, and some of the people who returned to their seats also left in a hurry.
Zhang Bin didn't pay attention to these people who tended to be inflammatory, but looked at the other three people who had been sitting beside him from beginning to end, and said with his fists: "If the three of you don't dislike it, you are willing to find a place to get drunk with me and Brother Su." ”
These three people are all petty officials in green robes, Ma Binrui named him for offending Wang Anshi just now, and there was no dispatch and his own official, these three people also had worries and fears on their faces, but in the end they did not leave, especially one of them had a handsome face, a good temperament, and his expression remained unchanged from beginning to end, which impressed Zhang Bin even more.
"As long as it doesn't affect Brother Zhang's meeting with Wang Xianggong, we dare to disobey my fate." The three of them hurriedly smiled and hugged their fists in return, naturally there was no reason not to agree.
At this time, the post man greeted him, nodded his head, and smiled flatteringly: "Why should Ru Linlang look for another place, the lower official will order the kitchen to prepare a table of delicacies, and then change a small courtyard for Ru Linlang, send it to the Ru Linlang courtyard, and send the singing girl over." ”
Regarding Yicheng's flattery, Zhang Bin accepted it with a smile, and modestly hugged his fists and said: "Then thank you Yicheng." ”
When a few people went downstairs, Zhang Bin noticed that most of the officials on the scene were full of envy and jealousy, after all, at the age of nineteen, although he did not have his own officials and dispatches, there was no shortage of loose officials, honors and titles, and they were also from the seventh grade, which in itself was extremely rare.
"Because of the sake, I felt guilty for disturbing everyone's meal and conversation." Zhang Bin knows that the more this time, the more modest and cautious he must be, otherwise he will be jealous and hated, and it is too common to be yin one day, so he bowed to everyone, and behaved generously and quietly.
The envy on everyone's faces still existed, but the jealousy of many people suddenly dissipated a lot, and some officials got up and bowed back, saying, "Brother Zhang is polite." ”
Others also echoed, after all, Zhang Bin was rewarded by the Son of Heaven, and in the case of having a holiday with Wang Anshi's family, he also received Wang Anshi's famous post, these are all facts, coupled with the bearing he showed, and he has great merit, I am afraid that the future is not small, if it is not necessary, no one will take the initiative to offend.

………
Zhang Bin and Su Guo took the three of them to the courtyard of the post house where they lived, and Zhu Niang put the dishes and food sent by the post house one by one, and added the wine to everyone.
Zhang Bin picked up the wine glass, and thought to himself in his heart: When these three people said that they did not have to send and offend Wang Anshi in Na Ma Binrui just now, they did not abandon him like others, although they could not determine the character and morality of the three people on this matter, but after what happened just now, they had a little sense of going through hardships together, and they invisibly got a lot closer to the relationship between the three people. And the things he planned are too big and need a lot of helpers, and these three people are just right.
With the thought in his heart, Zhang Bin picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Brother Su, the younger brother and the three brothers are familiar at first sight, let's give the three brothers a glass first." ”
Su Guo smiled and picked up the wine glass and said, "That's how it should be." ”
The three of them hurriedly picked up their wine glasses and said in a loud voice: "Brother Zhang and Brother Su are polite." ”
As they spoke, each of them toasted a glass of wine.
After a few glasses of wine, under Zhang Bin's deliberate intention, it didn't take long for the five of them to become very familiar.
Coincidentally, the other three didn't know each other.
The body is stout, not like a literati, but like a martial artist, and the accent is very strong called Zhang Santao, the character is good, and he is a passerby in Chengdu.
With a fair face and a somewhat thin face, his name is Sun Guodong, whose name is Lanwen, and he is a member of the Yongxing Army in the northwest.
These two families are not ordinary people, they are all official eunuchs, and their fathers have made meritorious contributions, both of them have already relied on the shade to make up for the dismissal of officials from the ninth grade, but this time they entered Beijing to prepare for next year's imperial examination.
When the other person introduced himself, it made Zhang Bin's heart sink.
Because this person's surname is Cai, his name is Jing, the character is long, and his family is from Xianyou County, Xinghua Military Road (later Fujian).
