Section 12 Where there are people, there is a distinction between the noble and the low, although Pangui is located in China and the West, but the economic lifeline is still controlled by the family. There were four influential families in the city, led by horse-selling merchants. After the occupation of Pangui, if the imperial court wants to gain a foothold in China and the West, it will definitely need the support of these big families. Zuo Ying held this banquet, called Celebrity, but in fact, it was to win over local forces and seek support. At the same time, the Prime Minister's Yushu also arrived, and Zuo Ying was asked to represent the imperial court with full powers to negotiate an alliance with Esther, which was a major event that was beneficial to both parties, so it was natural to hit it off.

Tonight, Zuo Changshi will have a banquet for guests from all walks of life in Wangxiang Tower, Wu Ming is the commander of the guard battalion, and he is also the representative of the military in the middle route, so he will definitely have to participate.

"General, I am here, you can also go down and prepare."

Mei Ji skillfully combed Liao Shi's hair as she turned her head and smiled at Wu Ming.

After Liao Shi woke up, he was demented. Seeing everyone smiling stupidly, Wu Ming looked at Liao Shi who was salivating, and let out a sigh in his heart. The main force was annihilated, and he saw Wei Lin being picked off his horse by his own shot. For him, it is not an exaggeration to say that the country is ruined, and perhaps, for him, the current appearance is the happiest. And he is the culprit who caused him to be like this.

Wu Ming thought about it and said with some hesitation: "This, you also have to participate in today's party in Wangxianglou, is it too late?" Why don't I go outside and find some people to serve Liao Shi? ”

Mei Ji stopped combing Liao Shi's hair, sighed and said, "Although it is a scene, in the past three years, the second son has not treated me badly. As the saying goes, 'a husband and wife for a hundred days', not to mention that I have been a husband and wife with him for three years. Just let me take care of him for a few more days, which can be regarded as a reward for his past few years. ”

There are no subordinates in the Governor's Mansion, and Mei Ji lives next door to Wu Ming, insisting on taking care of his daily life every day and doing what he can. After going back and forth, the sense of alienation between the two gradually faded, at least Mei Ji was not like before, she trembled when she saw Wu Ming. She said so, Wu Ming naturally didn't want to persuade again, so he had to say, "Then, I'll go and prepare first?" ”

Mei Ji stopped what she was doing, and saluted: "It's not too early, general, go take a bath." I'll bring you your clothes later. ”

Although Liao Shiren is obese, he is a person who knows how to enjoy himself. It can be seen from the layout of his governor's palace. Whether it is food, women, housing, even bathing, etc., you can see it. Whether it's Maggie, or even the bathroom in front of them, you can see some clues.

Pangui City is built on a mountain, and the Governor's Mansion is located on a small hillside. The bathroom is built in a separate yard and is a separate room. Although it is autumn, all kinds of flowers in the yard are still vibrant, and the breeze is fresh and fragrant. Instead, the baths are built on a hot spring, and at the back of the house, there is a large bathhouse with a stone pool of hot spring water in it. The hot spring water comes in and goes out, and the water in the bath always keeps flowing, so it's always clean. In front of the bathroom, there is a pentagonal pavilion with stone tables and chairs, and several cages of bamboo next to it are verdant. If you are refreshed after bathing, sit down in the pavilion, taste tea and enjoy flowers, more like a fairy among the people.

Wu Ming has used this bathroom several times, so he is naturally familiar with the road. After taking a shower, I wrapped a towel around my lower body and walked out. As soon as he walked out of the inner room, he saw Mei Ji already standing in the pavilion, holding the autumn coat that Zhu Yuqing had sewn for him. smiled: "My lord, this set of clothes was made for you by Mrs., it is really well done." ”

Wu Ming took the clothes and said casually, "Thank you." ”

The clothes were washed cleanly. He said, "Thank you." But it made Maggie laugh. Wu Mingzi wouldn't change his clothes in front of her, seeing that she still didn't mean to go out. couldn't help but be embarrassed: "You, you better go out for a while." I need to change my clothes. ”

Mei Ji covered her mouth and chuckled, and said softly: "General, don't you really want me to change it for you?" ”

Wu Ming had a fever, and said, "No need, thank you." I'll do it myself. ”

She was probably about to be free, and she was much more cheerful. Hearing Wu Ming say this, she smiled again and walked out the door. When she arrived at the door, she turned her head again and said, "Lord Wu, I'll be waiting for you outside, remember to tell me something." ”

When she walked out, Wu Ming breathed a sigh of relief. It's been almost eight years since he arrived in this world, but many of the world's ethos are still extremely uncomfortable. Maggie really wanted to serve him and dress, and he must have been extremely unaccustomed to it. After getting dressed, Wu Ming walked out of the courtyard, Mei Ji was standing at the door, saw him come out, stared at him and said, "Lord Wu." ”

Wu Ming was stunned and said, "What are you still doing here?" Aren't you ready yet? ”

Mei Ji said: "No need, I was ready yesterday, just make up the makeup later." ”

"Is it so fast?"

Mei Ji sighed and said, "I have been a concubine for so many years, and I am already familiar with these. You know, these old men don't have much time to wait for us. ”

Speaking of which, she was also a little embarrassed. Blushing, he said, "Lord Wu, your hair is very messy, let me comb it for you." ”

After Wu Ming took a bath, his hair was just tied in a bun and unkempt. Wu Ming said: "Forget it, I'll come by myself later." With that, he walked straight outside.

He was about to leave, but Mei Ji knelt down again: "Lord Wu, let me comb it, I really have nothing to repay you for bothering you so much." ”

If she refuses, I'm afraid she will be even more uncomfortable. See his pitiful appearance. Wu Ming had to sigh and say, "Okay, hurry up." ”

It has been more than a month since I set out in September. For more than a month, Wu Ming has spent most of his time on the battlefield. Naturally, there is little time for hair grooming. In addition, wearing a helmet for a long time makes the hair look rougher and harder. Mei Ji had already prepared, and when she saw that Wu Ming agreed, she skillfully opened the dressing box she was carrying, took out a bronze mirror from it, supported it on the stone table, let Wu Ming sit down, and began to comb his hair. Being fiddled with by a woman at such a close distance, in addition to Zhu Yuqing, Mei Ji is the second woman, and Wu Ming is also a little cramped. Fortunately, she probably does these things a lot, and she is extremely skillful. Wu Ming was a little unaccustomed at first, but Mei Ji's five fingers were slender and soft, and when she massaged her scalp, she was indescribably comfortable. Later, I almost fell asleep. After a while, Maggie said softly, "My lord, it's okay." ”

He opened his eyes and looked at the bronze mirror. I can see that the bun is neatly combed, which is much better than the mess he messes with himself. Wu Ming smiled and said, "Thank you." ”

Mei Ji was also very happy, and laughed softly: "My lord, don't be so polite, these are all things I should do......"

If it is placed on the earth, with her craftsmanship, the cost of such a haircut will definitely not be low. Wu Ming shook his head, and said with a gloomy face: "No one should do this, you have paid, you should always be thanked by me." ”

When he said this, Maggie was a little baffled. However, seeing that Wu Ming's face was not very good, she didn't dare to talk back, she just stood in place, and didn't know what to say for a while. Wu Ming stood up, looked at her and said, "All things in the world, all beings are equal. All people are the same, and no one is born to serve others, and no one is born to enjoy the service of others. We are all equal, including you and me, everyone. ”

Maggie still looked at him incomprehensibly, and didn't know what to say. Wu Ming's heart was troubled for a while, and he couldn't say any more, so he left her and hurriedly walked out. When he walked out of the courtyard, he was at a loss in his heart, and he had always worked hard to end the troubled times and build an ideal paradise. But this road is not as easy as imagined. War can only change the territorial belonging of countries, but it cannot make people deeply ingrained.

But despite this, many things have to be done. Tianxingjian, a gentleman should strive for self-improvement. Don't be afraid of the difficult future, and don't be discouraged by the heavy responsibilities and long way to go. If you give up, then all your ideals will be utopian.

Looking far away, the yellow expanse of the Tsushima grassland, in the afterglow of the setting sun, stretches straight into the distance.

※※※Wangxianglou is located in the center of Pangui City, and the first-class restaurant in Nanning, can not be compared. Compared with Baihelou, it is far away. However, this restaurant occupies a very wide area, and it is one of the most expensive in the market.

There are bursts of silk and bamboo, even if you are far away, you can hear it.

Zuoying's banquet will be very grand, and the people serving tea and water will flow endlessly. When Wu Ming arrived at the scene with a large group of soldiers from the Guards Battalion. Almost all the guests have arrived, Zuo Ying has also been trained in recent years, he is like a fish in water in this kind of venue, flirting with the singers he summoned from time to time, he sits in the main seat, talking and laughing, and has an extraordinary demeanor. If it weren't for a broken leg, he would really deserve the praise of the beautiful son. Probably talking about it, when Wu Ming walked in, he just stood up politely, said a few words of greeting, and then pulled Shang Yukun to mutter.

Shang Yukun was obviously a little absent-minded, looking around from time to time. After Wu Ming arrived, his eyes lit up, but because of Zuo Ying's special identity, he was not easy to offend. can only accompany each other to chat with each other. There were many people from the Guards Battalion, and in addition to a few main generals from the inner battalion and the outer battalion, the squad leaders of the inner battalion and the thousand horsemen from the outer battalion all participated. A large group of hulala accounts for almost half of the restaurant.

After Wu Ming sat down, he raised his eyes and saw that almost all the seats below were full of people. Esther, on the other hand, was surrounded by a large group of monks, sitting on the other side of the restaurant, opposite Wu Ming. Seeing Wu Ming looking over, this Nizi also made a gesture of raising a glass and inviting a drink. Now that the people have almost arrived, and the Lord has arrived, it seems that the feast will begin. Sure enough, after a group of generals from the guard battalion sat down, Zuo Ying sat in his position and said loudly: "The imperial court has to be restored to become a state, and it will rely on your support in the future. Second, it's to be familiar with you, and everyone will support each other in the future. ”

He said it very politely, and a large group of people below all stood up, raised their glasses, and humbled one after another. Zuo Ying was extremely happy, and continued: "Today, everyone must return with a happy time, come here, sing and dance." ”
