Outside the Admiral's Palace, there was a lot of traffic. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In addition to the officials who really can't leave, almost all the big and small officials in Shaozhou and Nanxiong have come, and those who can't come have specially sent people to send congratulatory gifts. Some of the gentry and big families in Shaozhou City also got the invitation, and one by one they excitedly carried the invitation as a family heirloom, and happily came to congratulate the pillar of the Qing Dynasty and the governor of Guangdong, General Tang Sanshui.

Tang Sanshui's personal soldier Jia Da when he was the general of Deqing Qian is now also a general in Shaozhou, and he is in charge of the commander's pro-battalion, and he is highly trusted by the commander, so the officials of Shaozhou do not forget to give a piece of heart to the commander while preparing a birthday gift for the commander.

After receiving the "heart" of Zhou Wenming, the prefect of Nanxiong, Jia Da brought the Zhou prefect to the Admiral. Without waiting for the Admiral to speak, Governor Zhou took out a big red pin gold paper from his sleeve and presented it respectfully.

"Hey, what's going on?"

Tang Sanshui frowned at first, flipped through the paper casually, and after glancing at the gifts on it, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he raised his hand slightly, and said to Zhou Wenming: "Why bother with Nanxiong Mansion, but with this admiral here, you can put your heart in your stomach." Well, the Japanese governor of the Ming Dynasty sent General Jia Shen to lead the troops to defend Nanxiong, and never let the thieves in Chaozhou succeed. ”

"Thank you, Lord Admiral!"

Zhou Wenming's heart landed on the spot, Shaozhou was under the heavy pressure of Taiping Kou, and Nanxiong was not much better. These days, the thieves of Chaozhou come to Nanxiong at every turn, and the territory is really rumored, the grass and trees are all soldiers, the county is bitter, and the government is also bitter. This time taking this opportunity to do his birthday, Zhou Wenming gritted his teeth and bled out a lot of blood, and prepared a big gift, if the Admiral refused to send troops to help defend Nanxiong, he didn't know how to go back and explain to the gentry who were "persuaded" by him.

"Protecting the territory and the people is the responsibility of this admiral, and Nanxiong Mansion does not need to say thank you."

Tang Sanshui, who received the gift, was in a good mood, and the more he looked at Zhou Wenming, the more pleasing he became. While talking, a group of officials and gentry came to visit, everyone was prepared for Lilly, listening to the housekeeper's singing, listening to the compliments of the officials and gentry, Tang Sanshui was really as sweet as drinking honey sweat, it was rare to put down the shelf, whether it was an official or a gentry were to greet a few words, and some people also called out their names affectionately, only to let a group of officials and gentry like a spring breeze, and everyone was bent by the admiral's wealth.

When Jia Da led a group of officials to sit down, Qin Dacheng, the prefect of Shaozhou, hurriedly came over, and Tang Sanshui asked him: "Shaozhou Mansion, have you found the troupe?" ”

"I've found it, I've found it, fortunately, the officials went in time, otherwise this team would have returned to Nanchang!"

Qin Dacheng nodded his head and bowed, while making a gesture to wipe the sweat that he didn't have before and only after entering the mansion, wipe off the sweat and look again, that face was full of glory for the Admiral.

The troupe invited by Qin Dacheng is a well-known troupe in Nanchang Prefecture, and I heard that Xia Yihe, the governor of Jiangxi, once wanted to buy this troupe as a family class. Six days ago, the Song family, a big family in the city, held a happy event, and spent a lot of money to invite this team over, and sang a big drama for three days in a row, which was very lively. Today's team was going back to Nanchang, everything was packed up, if Qin Dacheng went one step late, I am afraid that people would leave.

"Good, good!"

Tang Sanshui laughed, he didn't treat Qin Dacheng as an outsider at all, and casually instructed him: "Then Shaozhou Mansion will ask them to choose the best show to perform, if the singing is really good, this admiral will be rewarded!" ”

"Don't worry, Lord Admiral, this team didn't say anything." Qin Dacheng sneered with a smile on his face, "The lower officials made their own opinions, let them sing a fold of "Flying Bird Notes" for adults to listen to. ”

"Flying Birds? Is it a new play? I really haven't heard of it. Tang Sanshui said as he walked.

Qin Dacheng said with a smile in the back: "Lord Admiral guessed well, the play is a new play, but the lyrics are newly composed in Jiangnan, it sounds good." ”

"Shaozhou Mansion said it was good, it must be good." Tang Sanshui stopped, glanced at Qin Dacheng, and smiled faintly: "Go and let them start, the guests are all here." ”

"Hey! The subordinate will go and order them to open the gong! ”

Qin Dacheng, as a dignified prefect of the four grades, wore a flower feather on the top of lapis lazuli, but he was called by Tang Sanshui like a house slave, but he was not ashamed at all, but proud, and went happily.

Looking at Qin Dacheng's upset appearance, Jia Da who came over smiled, but Tang Sanshui glared at him and glanced over, Jia Da immediately understood.

...........

In the Admiral's Palace, this will be the lanterns hanging high, bright as day, servants and servants are busy, a tent is set up out of thin air on the edge of the pond in the garden, and a hall is in the middle, there are several pillars in the middle of the hall, and there are couplets hanging on the four front pillars.

After the troupe started the gong, the officials and gentry naturally listened to the play. Familiar people sit together and talk and laugh, and those who don't know each other are also polite to each other. Everyone knows in their hearts that the person who can get the Admiral to post is not an official, or a person with a head and a face, so there is usually no friendship, and this will also take this opportunity to talk a few words, and if you can't say this, you will hand over this connection, and you can take care of each other in the future. Officialdom officialdom, the field of being an official.

Of course, the most talked about is the Taiping Kou, who has made everyone annoyed recently, and the Qing Emperor's personal conquest that has excited everyone, so two kinds of people are very valued, one is the military attache in the army, and the other is those who have connections in Beijing and have a wide range of sources. When it comes to Taiping Kou, everyone naturally gritted their teeth, eager to cut off the thief's talent; When it comes to the Qing Emperor, of course, he is also respected and admired, and he is martial arts.

As the master and the highest official position in Guangdong, Tang Sanshui is naturally the chairman, and he does not dare to sit down if he does not be someone else. Accompanying the guests were Zhou Wenming, the prefect of Nanxiong, Qin Dacheng, the prefect of Shaozhou, and others, and the rest of the officials and gentry sat according to their respective ranks.

The stage was singing, I have to say that this troupe is indeed singing well, and the crowd in the audience applauded from time to time. Tang Sanshui also heard it well, so he opened his mouth and praised Qin Dacheng for doing a good job, and Qin Dacheng's tears of excitement almost fell out. Zhou Wenming, who was sitting opposite, was very envious when he saw Qin Dacheng like this, and only hated that he was the prefect of Nanxiong, not the prefect of Shaozhou, otherwise he would get the moon first near the water, how could this good thing of complimenting the Admiral be Qin Dacheng's turn to do it. Moreover, although Shaozhou is directly the head of the Taiping Kou soldiers, there are famous generals such as the Admiral in person, and the insurance coefficient is much stronger than the Nanxiong Mansion where the father is not hurt and the mother is not kissed, and there are more soldiers than Nanxiong. If something really happens, Shaozhou will definitely hold on longer than Nanxiong.

After singing the big drama for a while, Tang Sanshui ordered to go down to the banquet. He raised his glass and said a few words to the officials and gentry, although it was a symbolic politeness, but it still made everyone sigh. At the banquet, the civil officials and gentry behaved according to natural rules, even toasting was also a literary way, but the military attachés did not pay so much attention to it. After three rounds of drinking, the scene became lively all of a sudden.

"Five-flowered horses, six or six shun!"

"Brothers, a toast to everyone!"

"Come on, Full!"

"It's not going to happen, Zhao Qian can't do it?! Come, leave him alone, let's drink! ”

“……”

Xu is military attachés' performance was too calm, and there was no fear and nervousness at all when the Taiping Kou soldiers were approaching, and the civilian officials were gradually infected by the atmosphere, and with three glasses of wine, they were not so restrained, and the atmosphere was also warm. The drama on the stage is still singing, but it has already changed to a new play, and the gongs and drums are beating, which is very lively.

It was lively for about half an hour, and when everyone was red-faced, Tang Sanshui got up and looked around, and asked with a smile: "The hospitality is not good, can you all eat and drink well?" ”

A group of officials and gentry said that they ate and drank well, and the admiral invited him to a bowl of water, which was all heavenly wine.

Tang Sanshui laughed, but after laughing, he said that, he said: "Since everyone has eaten and drunk well, then the Admiral will order someone to do something." ”

"Errands?"

All the officials and gentry were stunned, what did they do? (To be continued.) )
