Chapter 831: Delivering Yourself to the Door (Second Update)
When Tang Yin heard that there was good wine to drink, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and said with a smile: "There is a place for good wine in the world, of course I am willing to go with it, Shen Zhongcheng, please lead the way." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Tang Yin is now depressed, and his dependence on wine is deepening, as if only in wine can he find the shadow of that wild and uninhibited talent, Shen Xi said that he wanted to drink good wine, of course he happily went with it.
Shen Xi didn't say where to go, got up and took Tang Yin to the downstairs of the restaurant, the carriage and horses outside the door were ready, the two got into the carriage, let Ma Jiu catch the car, and inquired all the way to find a place, but it was an official residence not far from the Yamen of the Political Envoy Division, looking at the white silk hanging at the door, Tang Yin felt that something was not right.
Tang Yin frowned and said, "The place where Shen Zhongcheng said to hide the wine is here?" ”
Shen Xi spread his hands and said, "Exactly." Once inside, don't reveal who you and I are, lest you cause people to be uneasy. ”
Tang Yin had a dark face and entered the official residence with Shen Xi, but saw that it was a small courtyard, and the courtyard was directly connected to the main hall.
"Guests, please stay, I don't know how many people are?"
An old housekeeper came out and stopped in front of Shen Xi and Tang Yin, because he saw that Shen Xi and Tang Yin were both Sven's readers, the old housekeeper didn't dare to make a mistake, and asked each other respectfully.
Shen Xi said: "In Xia is a person from Luling, Jiangxi, studying in Guangdong, admiring the name of Mr. Wei Zhai, and I am here to offer condolences today." ”
When the old housekeeper saw Shen Xi, he didn't look like a mourner at all, and was about to refuse, but saw Shen Xi take out a white envelope, which was sealed with silver, which meant a gift money for the family of the deceased.
If you bring a gift in this way, even if you don't know each other, you should invite them in.
Except for the first day of condolences, there were not many people here for the remaining days, and even fewer people came with gift money.
"Two of you, please inside." The old butler respectfully made a gesture of please.
Shen Xi said: "I heard that Mr. Weizhai was studying and clearing his name for the official for a long time, and he should have visited earlier, but he didn't expect Mr. to go before he arrived, which is sad and lamentable." With that, Shen Xi went to the mourning hall and personally offered incense to Zhou Mengzhong.
Tang Yin's face turned dark, there was no rut, Shen Xi was incense, and he couldn't stand aside as an entourage. The old housekeeper didn't ask much, and after the two of them condoled, he invited them to the next yard to eat defilement.
Walking into the Moon Gate, several subordinate officials of the Yamen who were sitting at the banquet looked at the two uninvited guests and frowned slightly. Tang Yin's face was solemn: "Shen ...... Brother, this means your good wine? Because he remembered that Shen Xi was not allowed to reveal his identity, Tang Yin had to change his name.
It is also an honor for him to be called a brother and a brother to the three products.
Shen Xi and Tang Yin sat down, and their own subordinates brought dishes and chopsticks, and at the same time gave them a pot of wine. Shen Xi poured himself a drink, drank a glass, and said to Tang Yin: "Brother Bohu taste, it is indeed a good wine." ”
"Wine is good wine, but what kind of wine is this, bad luck! Why didn't you tell me before you came that you drank this wine? If it weren't for someone watching from the side, Tang Yin would have been ready to reason with Shen Xi out loud.
Shen Xi was a little inexplicable: "This is Brother Bohu himself said that there is good wine, if Brother Bohu doesn't drink it, then I can even drink your general." ”
Shen Xi was about to get the wine jug, but Tang Yin took the lead, he glared at Shen Xi and took a long breath, and said, "It's all here, should you drink it or drink it." ”
In these years, as long as there are red and white things at home, eating and drinking are indispensable. But this time it was the incumbent Zuo Bu political envoy, the highest governor of a provincial administration, and Zhou Mengzhong's ancestral home in Luling, Jiangxi, this funeral banquet was only held in a low standard, and it would be held ceremoniously until Zhou Mengzhong's coffin returned to his hometown.
When the big officials go out for the funeral, the ordinary people don't dare to come to eat white food, but the officials and soap subordinates of the political envoy department need to assist in the funeral, and they will definitely eat and drink here after a busy day before going back. As soon as they were halfway through eating, they saw two Zhengda Guangming eating white food in the banquet, especially Tang Yin, who simply looked at the wine here, a pot of wine was not enough, and he actually asked someone to bring him a pot.
Shen Xi did not remind Tang Yin to take it easy, but appreciated Tang Yin's flamboyant style, and the two of them actually clinked glasses and drank in the cold eyes of others.
Where is this appearance to mourn, it's simply to participate in the celebration of the red event.
After three rounds of drinking, Tang Yin was slightly drunk, and Shen Xi smiled: "Brother Tang, your poetry has always been good, I don't know if you can write a poem?" ”
"Very good, very good."
Tang Yin suddenly thought of something, looked at a few pairs of angry eyes on the other side, shook his head and said, "It seems that something is not quite right on this occasion." ”
A political envoy Si Sooli came over and asked coldly, "Two, I don't know what the relationship is with Lord Fantai?" ”
This stopped Tang Yin, he didn't even know who Zhou Mengzhong was, what could it matter? Shen Xi replied as if nothing happened: "I admire Zhou Fantai as a person, and I have come to condole." ”
"Admiration?"
The man's face suddenly darkened, and with your admiration, you occupied the wine table that originally belonged to us, and drank the wine that should have been drunk by us, and ate the dishes that were treated to us, it was really shameless, "Those two, how many white gifts did you give?" ”
"Oh? But I don't know what kind of attention is paid to this white ceremony? Don't you want to give a gift for nothing? Shen Xi asked knowingly.
The man said, "That's gone?" ”
A group of people suddenly gathered around, these people looked like they were unofficial and tasteless in the political envoys, and they thought they were well-informed, and when they saw two white-faced scholars who had the shamelessness to come to eat white food, they wanted to come up and teach them a lesson, of course, the main thing was not to resentment Shen Xi for crowding out their food and drink.
Shen Xi pouted and said, "Why, in Guangdong, there is no white ceremony, and you can't even eat defilement wine?" ”
"If you want to eat, you have to eat your fist first."
The man was about to greet Shen Xi as he spoke, but Shen Xi had already prepared and hid behind, and the rest of the people went around the table and rushed towards Shen Xi and Tang Yin.
Tang Yin shouted: "What are you doing, do you want to beat someone?" ”
"You're the one who hit you!" Tang Yin had a mocking face, mainly because he was unkempt, standing with Shen Xi, like a father and son, after all, Tang Yin was over thirty years old, and Shen Xi was only sixteen years old, of course these people aimed at the older Tang Yin.
Shen Xi shouted: "Beat people!" ”
The person who was taking care of the funeral in the courtyard next door hurried over, and when he arrived at the moon gate, the old housekeeper who just greeted the guest took a look, okay, the funeral is going on here, and you actually got into a fight? The old butler trotted all the way over, shouting, "Stop, stop......"
At this time, Tang Yin had already been knocked to the ground, and Shen Xi was cleverly hiding to the side, fortunately, the old housekeeper came in time, otherwise he would be beaten sooner or later.
Si Sooli, the political envoy who was venting his anger, looked indignant: "These two people came to eat and drink for nothing, and they should teach them a lesson...... Steward Zhou doesn't have to thank him. ”
As he spoke, he was going to continue to be rough with Shen Xi.
Shen Xi shouted: "Bold! You dare to beat up the officials of the imperial court? ”
"Just you? Imperial court officials? ”
A few soap subordinates were still indignant, and at this time, the old housekeeper had already arrived, and Shen Xi took out the prepared prayer slip on his body and handed it over.
Steward Zhou opened it, only to see that it was written "control the military affairs of the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangzhou, supervise the grain and salary belt salt management law, and concurrently governor Guangdong, and the right deputy capital imperial history", the official title is too long, and the old housekeeper who is blind in the black light has not finished reading it for a while.
"Blind to people, huh? Is there such a long official position in the world? Yousoap Li stepped forward to look at it, read it in his mouth, and then asked.
Steward Zhou is an old servant in Zuobu's political envoy's family, and he is well-informed, so he quickly knelt down, kowtowed, and said: "Governor Shen, Lord Shen, forgive me, it's all the old slaves who don't take care of it well, please have a lot of them!" ”
When Steward Zhou finished speaking, the political envoys were stunned on the spot.
After they glanced at each other, they suddenly felt that a great disaster was coming, as for who "Lord Shen" was, they had heard of it somehow, it was said that this new governor was not very old, he was born as a champion, and he was the youngest champion of the Ming Dynasty, and he appointed the coastal governor of the three provinces to quell the bandits.
The political envoys have already greeted each other, and no matter what happens to the new governor, they will ignore it and just hang it until the new governor knows the difficulty and retreats.
Today is simply an evil, for no reason they eat yamen food tolerance met the genuine Sanpin Governor, and also beat people, although the fight is not the main one, but this problem can not be considered light.
Sure enough, Shen Xi roared angrily: "This official came to mourn for Zhou Fantai, but was beaten by the people of the domain for no reason, this official will be the court in this matter, please Your Majesty make the decision for me!" ”
In one sentence, the few people who had just beaten people were scared and trembled.
With their status as unofficial and characterless, they will be sentenced to exile for beating the magistrate, and now they are beating the third-grade officials, so don't they have to exterminate the nine clans? At this moment, they were so frightened that they trembled all over, and they knelt on the ground with pale faces, and they were busy kowtowing, completely losing their arrogance at the beginning.
Steward Zhou hurriedly said, "Lord Shen, it's all a misunderstanding. For my lord's sake......"
Shen Xi said: "It's for the sake of Mr. Wei Zhai that the official will not investigate it immediately, but the official will not give up on this matter!" ”
After speaking, Shen Xi pulled Tang Yin, and after shaking his sleeves, he hurriedly left the mansion.
Shen Xi walked quickly to the entrance of the alley, got into the carriage waiting there with Tang Yin, and then shouted at Ma Jiu: "Go!" ”
Tang Yin was beaten dizzy, but at this time he had already reacted and understood that he was being used by Shen Xi, where was he accidentally beaten just now, it was obvious that Shen Xi took him to take the initiative to beg for a beating.
"Shen Zhongcheng, what does this mean?" Tang Yin looked at Shen Xi angrily.
Shen Xi smiled, Tang Yin is Tang Yin, and after being beaten, he quickly understood that he had been trapped...... But I'm just going to trap you, what can you do to me? Who made you have a begging face, and I don't feel safe with you? Of course, he wouldn't say that, but he was righteous:
"Brother Tang, the people from the previous clan division and yamen were really arrogant and rude, and they took action against you and me, this matter will not be spared by the official, and they have to seek justice for you!"
When Tang Yin heard this, he was furious: "Stop, get out of the car!" "Tang Dacai is really angry, Shi Ke can not be humiliated, I will go to eat wine with you, and it is just a matter of eating defilement wine, you actually tricked me into being beaten, and then used this matter to make a fuss with the people of the political envoy department!?
"Brother Tang, where are you going?" Shen Xi chased down the carriage and asked.
"I will go back to Suzhou in the next place, and I will no longer have anything to do with officialdom!"
Tang Yin was really angry this time, thinking, I knew before that there were no good people in office, why did I believe this kid in a ghost, thinking that he was an outlier in officialdom?
Shen Xi sighed: "Brother Tang wants to leave, he shouldn't have stopped him, it's just that this arrears ......"
Tang Yin pointed to his red and swollen face, and said angrily: "I was beaten so miserably, you are still embarrassed to ask me for money?" ”
Shen Xi's face was innocent: "One stroke at a time, Brother Tang will definitely find a doctor for treatment in order to be beaten below, and there will be a lot of expenses for soup and medicine, and there are a lot of expenses for lost work, and Brother Tang will be allowed to recuperate for a few more days, and he will be entertained with good wine and food." But if Brother Tang doesn't accept the kindness of the subordinates, he can only talk to you about the problem of debts. ”
