When Qian Jin estimated that it was almost over, he persuaded everyone to eat more wine and food.

Hong Men Da observed his words and looked at his feelings, and reluctantly handed back the Wind Thunder Knife to Qian Jin. The people at the table continued to eat, drink and drink, and the atmosphere in the Tianzi room began to liven up.

When the wine was half-drunk, Jin Duo's face was already flushed, and his speech was a little unpleasant, so he picked up a glass of wine and saluted Qian Jin leisurely: "Qian waiter speaks...... In the future, if you are developed, don't forget to carry it...... Give your brother a hand. ”

"That's what I said. Brother Jin, you are on an errand in the palace, and your life with Your Majesty is longer than mine, so you should take more care of me in the future. Qian Jin also raised his glass in return.

"Words can be ...... You can't say that. Brothers...... You have only been in Beijing for a short time, and you may not know some of the rules. Jin Duo drank the wine in one gulp and sighed: "I'm just a guard, no matter how big the official is...... It's just a head of the guard, and it's not as good as you civil officials who have drunk ink. Let's Chen Guo...... When a military attache sees a civilian official, he always has to be half a head shorter. ”

"Brother Jin has drunk a little too much, don't talk nonsense." Hong Menda is a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, usually cautious in words and deeds, even if he drinks, his vigilance is still very heavy.

Where can Jin Duo listen at the moment. He fell back into his chair, pointed at Qian Jin and smiled, turned his head to Hong Menda and said, "Brother Hong, do you think Qian Shi is talking about ...... No, is Qian Qianhu the same as those ministers who can only grind their lips? Even Your Majesty...... That night...... I also admire Qian Qianhu. ”

Before he finished speaking, Jin Duo seemed to be physically exhausted, lying on the table and falling asleep, Li Bin hurriedly stepped forward to serve. It seems that this good drinker does not necessarily drink well. There were a total of five people at the table, but Jin Duo was the only one who drank and fell down. Qian Jin shook his head and said to Hong Menda: "Brother Jin is really a man of temperament. ”

Hong Menda also shook his head and sighed: "He urinates like this, every time he drinks, he counts him as the most fierce, and every time he pours the fastest." ”

After Jin Duo got drunk, Qian Jin and Hong Menda talked more. The two chatted casually, drank a few glasses of wine together, and became more familiar than when they first entered the door.

Qian Jin has always been very curious about the institution Jinyiwei. Before crossing, he often saw those brocade guards flying in film and television dramas, as long as the brocade guards wearing flying fish suits appeared, the officials and the people were all frightened, and they didn't know if it was made up by the director. He thought for a moment and asked, "Hong Qianhu, what are we Jinyiwei doing now?" I heard people say that in the past, Jinyi Wei was majestic. ”

Hearing Qian Jin's question, Hong Men Da was silent, and poured a few glasses of stuffy wine alone, and sighed after a long time: "This time is different from the past." When the first emperor was there, we didn't mention how beautiful it was; Although we are also working in the Imperial City, we mainly do the drudgery of raising tigers and leopards, patrolling the streets, and sometimes we have to dredge the moat. Even the tigers in cages are more beautiful than me, at least they have meat to eat at every meal. ”

Qian Jin wondered in his heart. If he hadn't listened to Hong Menda tell it in person, he really didn't believe that Jinyi Wei was so miserable, so he was relieved: "Hong Qianhu will naturally not be far away with His Majesty." ”

"Alas...... His Majesty only gave the crown ceremony this year, and now the queen mother has the final say in the palace...... When the first emperor was there, those fans of Dongchang saw Jinyiwei, and they had to take a detour; Now it is our Jinyi Wei who wants to lower his voice when he sees the people in Dongchang. Although Hong Menda did not explicitly say that the Queen Mother reused the East Factory, the meaning in her words could not be clearer.

At the moment, the two of them were talking about a secret, Qian Jin glanced up at Li Bin and Mu Qing, and said to them: "The Jin guard is not very drunk, please send him back to rest first, there is already a carriage waiting outside the door." By the way, I prepared two catties of good wine for each of you and brought back to drink. ”

Li and Mu naturally thanked him repeatedly, and then one of them held one of Jin Duo's arms and put him out. All this Hong Menda naturally saw in his eyes.

When Li Bin and the others went out, Qian Jin leaned into Hong Menda's ear and whispered: "Hong Qianhu must not be presumptuous. Don't forget that the Queen Mother is such a son, and such a big deputy will have to be returned to His Majesty sooner or later. ”

"Brother Qian, didn't you hear any news?" Hongmen Daqi Road.

"No," Qian Jin said with an unfathomable smile, "It's just my speculation." ”

Hong Menda was a little discouraged when he heard this, when Qian Jin took Li Bin and them away, he thought that Qian Jin had something to tell about it. Although the common people don't know much about the foundation of Qian Jin, Hong Menda, as a second-generation official, still knows his relationship with Shoufu and Tianzhenggong.

Qian Jin saw his disappointed appearance, so he laughed and said, "Brother Hong, doesn't you think that the younger brother's words are deceived by you?" ”

"Don't dare to ......," Hong Menda said disapprehantly.

Qian Jin didn't intend to continue to hang his appetite, so he arched his hand towards the north, and said: "Brother Hong, Your Majesty is the king of benevolence and martial arts, but the time on the throne is still short, and his heart still lacks some calmness. It is a big mistake for the court and the likes of Wang Shangshu to bully His Majesty that he is still young. You must know that Your Majesty is the king of a country, and when he takes power, these people will fall to the ground with just one sentence. ”

"Although the words are good, I don't know when Your Majesty will take power."

"No wonder Brother didn't remind you, now is the time for Brother Hong to show his loyalty to His Majesty. When His Majesty is in power, Brother Hong is afraid that he will not be able to rank up. Qian Jin has already made up his mind to hug the emperor's thigh, naturally hoping that the thicker this big tree is, the better, and it will definitely not hurt to help the emperor win over some forces.

Hong Menda is also a person who has been in the capital for a long time, but he can't see the road ahead clearly because he is too pessimistic. After being reminded by Qian Jinyi, he suddenly became enlightened, and immediately clenched his fists and said: "You have to lose money to remind me, otherwise the contemptible person is really blind." ”

"Don't dare to be." Qian Jin helped Hongmen fill a glass of wine, raised his glass and said, "Brother Hong, let's move around more in the future." ”

Hong Menda also raised his glass and echoed: "When the time comes, I will have to bother Brother Qian to say a few more kind words in front of His Majesty." ”

"Well said...... Say. ”

The two of them raised their glasses and drank some more wine and food, and then the wine began to get to the point.

For a long time, Qian Jin had doubts about his grandmother's death. Uncle didn't allow him to ask more, and Shousuke also asked him to leave it alone, as if there was a big secret involved. Of course, the uncle and the others are all kind-hearted, but if he doesn't find out about this matter for a day, he can't comfort his grandmother's spirit in heaven. Jin Yiwei specializes in investigating important cases for the first emperor, and her grandmother, as Mrs. Zuodu Yushi, may know some about her case. Therefore, from the moment he saw Hongmenda, he was thinking about how to get something out of his mouth.

Now that the time is ripe, he thought for a while and said, "Brother Hong, the junior brother has something to ask for. ”

"Brother, just say this, and see the outside." As he spoke, Hong Menda had an arm on Qian Jin's shoulder: "My brother and I are also familiar at first sight, not to mention the two ribs, as long as Hong can do it, it will naturally be a great help." ”

"Then I won't see Brother Hong", Qian Jin smiled slightly, "My grandfather is Tianzheng Gong, presumably Brother Hong knows." Eighteen years ago, he was imprisoned, my grandmother took my mother to Guangxi to look for my uncle, but he was robbed and killed by thieves on the way, and the murderer has been at large, and my grandson is also guilty. With that, Qian Jin glanced at Hong Menda to see how he reacted.

Hong Menda's eyes looked pensive, and after a few breaths, he said: "Speaking of which, I am only five or six years older than you, my brother, although I have heard about that case, but the details are not very clear. Qian Jin thought that most of the matter was not followed, but he heard Hong Menda say again: "Don't worry, brother, I'll find an opportunity to go to the case library of the Zhenfu Division to investigate and see if there are any clues." ”

"In this way, it will bother Brother Hong." Qian Jin picked up his wine glass and stood up to salute Hong Menda.

"It's a little thing, it's not worth talking about." Hong Menda raised his glass and touched Qian Jin and drank it all, praising in his mouth: "It's really good wine." My seven-foot man should drink this wine to show his heroic spirit, and ordinary rice wine is not fun even if he drinks a barrel. ”

"Brother Hong is still afraid that he won't have to drink in the future?" Qian Jin said with a smile: "I came in a hurry today, and I only prepared about ten catties for my brother to take back to drink." In the future, as long as my winery is still open, I will never miss my brother's wine. ”

Hong Men Daha laughed, obviously in an extremely happy mood: "Brother, why don't you ask Your Majesty to give you a brocade guard Qianhu dangdang, and in the future, our brothers can go out to drink and eat meat together." ”

Qian Jin smiled in his mouth, but he thought about it in his heart. Although Hong Menda's suggestion is selfish, it is beneficial to himself and harmless. Although Jinyiwei currently has a low status, he is the emperor's pro-army after all. If he goes out of Beijing to walk at that time, having the identity of a brocade guard will definitely save a lot of trouble. Thinking of this, Qian Jin said with a smile: "I have been longing for Jinyiwei for a long time, but I have been suffering from no way. ”

"It's not that hard to do. The left commander of the Zhenfu Division is a world friend with his father, and when the time comes, I will ask him to make a break, and you can say a few words to the capital, and this will most likely be done. ”

"In that case, then I will first inherit the good intentions of my brother."

"You're ......"

The two drank for a few more minutes. It's not early, and tomorrow I have to prepare for the morning court, Hong Menda got up and said goodbye, and when he left, he still didn't forget to remind Qian Jin to move around more. Qian Jin naturally agreed repeatedly.

After Hong Menda left, Qian Jin also came out of Chunfeng Building not long after. The two carriages that followed, one sent Jin Duo back, the other sent Hong Menda, and he himself walked back to the courtyard. The night after autumn is already a little cool, the breeze is blowing, Qian Jin's wine is a little more dissipated, and he has more confidence in the future full of unknowns.
