Chapter 230: Ascension to the court
After the arrangement was completed, Yang Qiuchi found out that Mrs. Bai had arranged all the male servants out of the inner yamen, and was responsible for the miscellaneous work in the entire yamen outside, eating and living with the brocade guards. And the inner ya's gatehouse, cook, etc. are all women, and this time, there is only one man in the entire internal office, Yang Qiuchi.
Haha, Yang Qiuchi thought to himself, didn't he become the emperor in the palace, interesting.
After the arrangement, Hong Aya personally cooked and prepared for tonight's banquet. With the help of the old mothers and cooks, it is much easier.
Yang Qiuchi took Qin Zhihui and a group of girls to look around, although this internal office was far inferior to his new home in Wuchang Mansion, but the high walls and blue tiles were more solemn and solemn.
After inspecting the internal office, as soon as he returned to the living room to rest, the newly appointed female porter Zhang Ma ran in to report that the county squires had come to congratulate.
Yang Qiuchi hurriedly went out of the inner office to the flower room in the front hall, which was a special place to receive distinguished guests. Of course, as soon as Yang Qiuchi came out of the internal office, he followed Chang Fu with the squad leader, and the six-person escort team led by Nangong Xiong followed closely.
When I came to the flower room, there were already more than a dozen squires with fame and status in the county. Chang Fu ran in first and sang loudly: "Lord Yang of Zhixian County is here ~ welcome!" ”
All the squires bowed to greet them. Yang Qiuchi sat down on the main seat in the center. One by one, these squires stepped forward to congratulate Yang Qiuchi and gave their respective greeting gifts.
Chang Fu introduced Yang Qiuchi one by one on the side.
After the meeting, after greeting for a while, Yang Qiuchi served tea and sent the guests off.
After sending off the squires and returning to the inner office, it was already evening. Red Aya had already prepared the meal and set up a large table.
After a busy day, I'm really a little hungry. Of course, Yang Qiuchi sat in the chief, Qin Zhihui, Song Qing, Bai Sumei, Madame Bai, Song Yun'er, Hong Aya, Yuechan, Hui'er and Ke'er's seven sisters, and sat at a full table.
Yang Qiuchi didn't wait for them to sit down, he first picked up the chopsticks and put a clip of vegetables in his mouth, squinted his eyes and chewed, smacked his lips, and sighed: "It's so delicious!" If we have red silk in the future, we won't have to worry about running out of mouths. Hehehe! ”
Red Aya's white and tender face flushed with two patches of red glow, and she got up and bowed: "Thank you young master for your compliment." ”
Yang Qiuchi raised his glass with a smile and said: "Mrs. Bai, Zhihui, Qing'er, Su Mei, Yun'er, and all the little sisters, it is also a rare fate for us to be able to gather together today, come, I salute everyone!" ”
The women grinned and returned the salute with their glasses, and everyone did it together.
Then, everyone began to toast each other while eating, and the seven sisters of Hong Aya and Ke'er saw that Lord Yang was so easy-going, so they were no longer restrained and toasted Yang Qiuchi one by one. Yang Qiuchi did not refuse to come, and the wine was dry.
Drinking happily, Song Yun'er proposed to make a wine order again, of course Yang Qiuchi agreed, but this ancient wine order Yang Qiuchi is still not very good, ten out of ten lost seven or eight percent, drunk Lingding, and then dispersed.
Tonight is Song Qing's bedtime, Song Qing and the little maid Hongyan are one on the other, and they go back to the bedroom with Yang Qiuchi, who was drunk and dizzy.
Although Hong Aya also drank a lot of wine, she knew very well in her heart that she was a subordinate in the end, and she was drunk first before the master was drunk, so she stepped on fake water with a slippery head, drank less, and was more sober. Hong Aya served Yang Qiuchi and Song Qing to wash their feet and undress and go to bed, and then went back to the outside room to rest.
Yang Qiuchi woke up, the room was dark and in the middle of winter, and after getting drunk, he felt thirsty, and called "Yuechan~!" ”
Song Qing next to her was disturbed in her dream, but she didn't wake up, and turned over and fell asleep.
Yang Qiuchi's head was a little sober, and he remembered that Song Qing's personal ring was Red Aya, not Yuechan, and was about to change his words, but Hong Aya was already wearing a close-fitting coat and came in with a small lantern: "Young Master, Red Aya is here, what do you want?" ”
"Water, I want to drink water, not tea!" Yang Qiuchi stuck his head out of the bed curtain, and said with sleepy eyes, he likes to drink water when he is drunk, and he wants to turn his stomach when he drinks tea at this time.
"Okay!" Hong Aya ran out of the outer room, and after a while, she ran in with a pot of water and put it on the table, poured a glass, and brought it to the side of the bed, "Young master, the water is here." ”
Yang Qiuchi took a sip, it was just warm, and he drank it dry in one gulp, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's so refreshing!" Suddenly remembering how there could be hot water in the middle of the night, he casually asked, "Red Aya, where did this hot water come from?" ”
Under the light of the red lantern, Hong Aya's face was flushed, her expression was charming, and she said in a sweet and greasy voice: "Hong Aya thought that the young master must be thirsty at night after drinking wine, and there was a small stove outside to warm the water, and when the wine was drunk, he drank hot water to warm his stomach, so he prepared hot water." ”
Yang Qiuchi's heart moved slightly, this little girl is really careful.
At this moment, Song Qing turned over again, and her lotus-like hand came over and hugged Yang Qiuchi's waist.
Yang Qiuchi stuck out his tongue at Hong Aya and retracted his head into the bed curtain.
Hong Aya heard Song Qing's movement and hurriedly put the tea bowl on the table. He returned to the outer room with a pot and lantern.
Yang Qiuchi lay down, Song Qing**'s naked and smooth body was like an eel, she got into Yang Qiuchi's arms, kissed him on the cheek, and said with a low smile: "What are you two muttering?" ”
This ghost had already woken up, fortunately he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, Yang Qiuchi was secretly glad that one hand hugged her tightly, and the other hand roamed around her satin-like smooth body.
Song Qing smiled coquettishly at first, then stopped moving, letting Yang Qiuchi measure and survey every corner of her body, and finally couldn't help but let out an intoxicating moan, hugged Yang Qiuchi's neck, kissed him deeply, and the fragrant tongue reached into Yang Qiuchi's mouth, igniting the raging fire in his body.
Yang Qiuchi turned over and got on his horse and galloped towards the other side of happiness...... After lingering ** and sleeping with each other, in a daze, Yang Qiuchi heard the crisp sound of seven cloud boards in the inner yamen, and then remembered the sound of bangzi in turn at the door of the house, through the hall, the instrument door, and the gate, Yang Qiuchi already knew when he was in the Yamen of Guangde County, this is called "Chuantou Bang", which is a signal for the Yamen to start preparations, and notify him to get up.
Yang Qiuchi didn't care about that, hid his head in the quilt, put it on Song Qing's chest, and hugged her to sleep.
After a long while, I heard five crisp sounds on the cloud board of the door of the inner house, and the outside knocked on the door in turn, which was "Erbang". Urge the chief to get up and freshen up and prepare to go to the signing room to work. The scribes must also be in place to go to work.
slept soundly, knocking and knocking, Yang Qiuchi was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother. muttered a few times, but still hugged Song Qing and fell asleep.
At this time, a red silk voice came from outside the bed curtain: "Young master, get up!" Today is a notice that you are going to be promoted to the court to ask the case! ”
Although these words were soft, sweet and greasy, hearing the unspeakable usefulness in Yang Qiuchi's ears, his head was like pouring a bucket of cold water, and he suddenly remembered that yesterday's attendant Changfu reminded him that today was a notice. How did I forget this ballast?
Yang Qiuchi hurriedly broke free from Song Qing's embrace, got up and got out of bed. Hong Aya took the official robe and served Yang Qiuchi to wear it.
Song Qing muttered, "Brother Qiuchi, why do you get up so early?" ”
Along the way, Song Qing was used to sleeping lazily, and she couldn't turn a corner.
Yang Qiuchi said while getting dressed: "Qing'er, you sleep by yourself, I'm going to Shengtang to ask about the case!" ”
"Hmm...... Yes? Song Qing also reacted, quickly got up, and said embarrassedly: "Why did I forget this...... It's all because you poured me wine last night, and didn't let people sleep late at night. ”
Yang Qiuchi laughed and said, "It seems that you won't let me sleep?" ”
Song Qingjiao smacked him lightly, and hurriedly got up and put on her dress.
Yang Qiuchi and Song Qing came out after cleaning up, Qin Zhihui, Song Yun'er, Bai Sumei's mother and daughter had already gotten up, and they all knew that today was Yang Qiuchi's first day of going to court to ask about the case, and they all got up early to cheer him on.
The women accompanied Yang Qiuchi to finish breakfast, and then they ordered Zhang Ma to hit the cloud board three times in the inner yamen's room, and the outside passed "three bangs" in turn. said that Master Yang was going to go out of the inner mansion to work. Yang Qiuchi got up to leave, and Song Yun'er said, "Brother, you are promoted to the court for the first time today, do you want us to listen to the trial in the back hall to cheer you on?" ”
"Joke!" Yang Qiuchi's face was flat, "This official has never seen anything in the world, what is this promotion to the hall?" You guys honestly play as a female celebrity in the internal office. "Actually, he has never done this promotion, and he still has no bottom in his heart, for fear that they will be embarrassed to hear that he made a mistake and made a fool.
Song Yun'er, Song Qing, Qin Zhihui, and Bai Sumei glanced at each other and giggled.
Yang Qiuchi came out of the inner office, and Master Jin, the squad leader, and six personal guards with Changfu and Nangong Xiong were already waiting at the door of the inner office.
Yang Qiuchi walked towards the lobby with square steps.
After passing through the second hall and arriving at the lobby, I heard the officials beating the drums, and the knock was very powerful. The soaps lining the two sides of the lobby stretched out the tone and shouted in unison: "Sheng~Tang~Oh~!" ”。
Yang Qiuchi slowly walked out of the back hall around the screen and entered the lobby, went to the warm pavilion, and took a seat on the public seat, and the shouts of the drums and soaps stopped.
The inside and outside of this lobby have been carefully checked by the brocade guards. At this moment, Nangong Xiong and other six personal guards were standing behind Yang Qiuchi, and the other brocade-clothed guards were on guard in front of and around the lobby.
Yang Qiuchi raised his eyes and saw people kneeling on the ground in the patio outside the lobby, and the front of the wall in the distance was also crowded with people, and the black pressure was full of heads. I heard that the new magistrate was going to be promoted to ask the case today, and they all came to see the excitement.
Yang Qiuchi saw that so many people were listening to the trial, and his heart was a little hairy, but fortunately, Master Jin had already explained the specific procedures of the opening of the hall to Yang Qiuchi in detail, and he had made up his mind in his heart, so he would withdraw from the hall to study if he couldn't figure it out.
