This banquet included the Yamen adjutant county cheng, the main book, the canonical history, as well as the Confucian teachings and teachings, the chief officials of the six rooms of the military and criminal workers, the master Qian Gu and the master Shuqi of Cai Zhi County, and the army invited Hangzhou Weiren and the county hundred households and hundreds of households. In addition, there are famous squires and celebrities in Renhe County. After sitting in a full seat, Cai Zhixian used to invite the master to arrange a table of banquets for his family, and this time he invited celebrities from all walks of life in Renhe County to participate in the banquet, obviously to express his respect and gratitude to Meng Tianchu.

At the wine table, Cai Zhixian praised Meng Tianchu's ability to solve the case, and Wang Zhutou was even more grateful, and toasted Meng Tianchu again and again. The officials and squires are even more slippery, smart people know that if you really want to go to the door, then you have to start with the master to be the right way, because the county master does not know the name of the crime, how the case should be judged, it is not a matter of the master's words.

So after drinking this wine, when the banquet was dismissed, Meng Tianchu had already been dazed, and then he was sent home.

Xia Fengyi and Feiyan were sitting in the living room of the courtyard of the famous master of the inner government and talking, seeing that Meng Tianchu was staggered back, they hurriedly stepped forward to help him sit down, Feiyan hurriedly went to prepare the sobering soup, Meng Tianchu looked at Xia Fengyi with drunken eyes: "Lady, you haven't slept yet?" Waiting for me? ”

Xia Fengyi said: "Yes, why are we sitting so late without waiting for you, I haven't seen you so drunk for a long time." ”

"yes, it's been a long time since I've been drinking so much. Lady, you won't be angry when you come back drunk for your husband, right? ”

Xia Fengyi's face was very good, and she said softly: "This wine should be drunk today, not only did you successfully become a famous criminal master, but also solved a big case as soon as you arrived here, relieved the siege of the county magistrate, and also earned us face, it is time to celebrate, even if the magistrate does not have a banquet to celebrate, we will celebrate ourselves." ”

Meng Tianchu was overjoyed: "Really? ”

Feiyan said: "Yes, young master, the matter of your solving the case today has been spread throughout the entire yamen, and they all say that you solved this case easily, which is amazing." I kept talking to my young grandmother, I didn't expect you to have this hand. ”

Meng Tianchu straightened his chest proudly: "Didn't I say it a long time ago, this young master is only eight buckets high, not a lamp grass but a treasure!" ”

Before Feiyan could speak, Xia Fengyi said: "The master is drunk, Feiyan, you go to fetch water and serve the master to rest." ”

Feiyan agreed, and helped Meng Tianchu to stand up and go to the bedroom, this bedroom is a standard inner and outer room, the master lives in the inside, and the maid who waits outside. On the way, it has been said that when there is a home, Meng Tianchu will live in the inner room, and Xia Fengyi and Feiyan will live in the outer room, so they specially asked for a big bed to be placed in the outer room during the day.

Feiyan helped Meng Tianchu to sit down on the bed in the inner room, and hurriedly ran to fetch water, and when he came back, Meng Tianchu was already lying on the bed and falling asleep. Feiyan took off Meng Tianchu's shoes and robe, hugged his feet and moved to the bed, laid him flat, covered the quilt, and saw that he was sleeping soundly, so he was relieved, blew out the lights in a few rooms, and went outside to wash and sleep with Xia Fengyi.

In the middle of the night, Meng Tianchu was awakened by thirst, crawled up, couldn't see clearly in the dark ancient winter, shook his head, and was a little sober, new here, everything was not familiar, he couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest for a while, turned over and got out of bed, groped and found the slippers, sleepy-eyed and groped out to find the teapot, and touched a single stool without paying attention, and then heard the voice of Feiyan outside: "Young master!" What do you want? Wait, Feiyan will get it for you! ”

Meng Tianchu really couldn't see the situation clearly, so he simply stood still. After a while, Feiyan opened the door curtain and walked in with a small lantern, only to see that she was wearing a peach-colored shirt, and she didn't have time to button it up, and the scarlet clothes inside were looming under the lamp, and she asked with sleepy eyes: "Young master, what do you want?" ”

"I'm thirsty and want to drink water!" Meng Tianchu quickly glanced at Feiyan's seductive and profane clothes, and quickly turned his head away.

Feiyan rubbed her eyes and said, "Young Master, you go to Chuang first, beware of the wind and cold, Feiyan will go to the kitchen to pour hot water for you." ”

"No need, there is herbal tea on the table, just drink a little bit of it." With that, Shin went to get the teapot on the table again.

"How can that be?" Feiyan hurriedly stopped him, "You can't drink cold when you're drunk, not only is it easy to turn your stomach, but you will also hurt your body if you drink alcohol." I couldn't help but say, I pulled Meng Tianchu back to the bed and lay down, covered him with a quilt, and then said, "Young master, wait a while, Feiyan will come back with hot water immediately." ”

"No need, it's too much trouble to make a fire now."

"You don't need to make a fire, the young grandmother said that you must be thirsty at night after drinking, so I have warmed a pot of water on the charcoal stove in the kitchen and prepared it for you." As she spoke, Feiyan had already gone out with the lantern and the curtain on the door.

Meng Tianchu felt warm in his heart, this feeling was only felt when he was a child, he was sick and lying in bed when he was a child, and his mother tucked the quilt and brought tea and water to him. Alas~! I don't know if mom and dad are okay or not.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the lights in the outhouse turn on, Feiyan had already carried the lantern and came back quickly, carrying a teapot in his hand, putting the lantern on the table, pouring a large cup of warm and hot water, and bringing it to Meng Tianchu: "Young master, drink water, warm water nourishes your stomach, thinking that you still have to sleep, I didn't make tea for you." ”

"You're so careful!" Meng Tianchu took it and drank it in one gulp. Wiped the corners of his mouth and handed the cup to Feiyan.

"Do you want more? Master. ”

Meng Tianchu shook his head: "Ah~!" Drink a big glass of warm water, it's so comfortable! Good Feiyan, you are really considerate! ”

Feiyan grinned: "Which slave doesn't serve her master like this." If you want anything at night in the future, you can greet Feiyan, don't get up by yourself, the cold and dew are heavy at night, your young master has a precious body, if you have a headache and brain fever, but we are not slaves. ”

Meng Tianchu lay back on the bed, glanced at Feiyan's bulging chest in his scarlet clothes, and said in a half-truthful and half-false voice: "Feiyan, is it okay to come to sleep with me?" ”

Feiyan glanced at him, but this glance was more coquettish: "At night, the young grandmother and I are still praising you, and at this time the fox tail will be revealed again, hehe, sleep, there are still a lot of business waiting for you tomorrow." He lowered the curtain and went out with the lantern.

Yes, tomorrow, on business, tomorrow I will really take the glorious post of the criminal master, can I be competent? Absolutely! I encourage myself like this in my heart, but I always feel that I still have some lack of confidence.
