Chapter 22: Beating Mandarin Ducks
Upstairs in the light smoke, Ye Xiaotian, Zhang Hongchou and other eight people were seated at a table, and Ye Xiaotian was sitting in the chief position.
Of course, Ye Xiaotian understands which seat on this seat is the first seat, don't say that he is now a guilty person, even if he is still a canonical history, how can he compare with these sons and brothers here, probably only Tang Xianzu is the same as him, but he has an official status, which is barely higher.
Ye Xiaotian naturally refused to sit in the first seat, but was pressed there by Zhang Hongchou and Qiao Zhenhua, and then sat down with him left and right. Although the children of these high-ranking officials are a little arrogant and arrogant, once they truly admire someone, they don't care about the other party's official position and background.
Everyone sat down, Zhang Hongchou took the lead in raising his glass, and said to Ye Xiaotian with a spring breeze: "Brother Ye Xian, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to raise so much silver, and we would inevitably be humiliated by Xu Qiyun and others." If it weren't for you, brother Xian, we would definitely not be able to recover the silver, and we would have to ask for a thousand fingers and leave a bad name. Fortunately, Brother Xian is smart and wise, and he washed his innocence for us, and found out Guan Xiaokun and other villains, this glass of wine, we respect you! ”
Ye Xiaotian said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, if you say that, you are going to kill your brother." You and my brothers are like-minded, and in this matter they are both prosperous and lossy, both public and private, Xiaotian should do his best, and if Brother Zhang is so polite, it will be outside. ”
Zhang Hongchou laughed and said, "Okay, I'm sour, you can be sour too." Then let's not say polite words, it's brothers, just do this cup! Kuai Peng and others raised their glasses in response, and everyone drank a full cup together.
Zhang Hongchou poured another glass of wine and smiled at Ye Xiaotian: "I heard Brother Tang say, Brother Ye Xian, are you an official?" I don't know where you are going to be an official when you come to Jinling this time, if it is Jinling City, then it will be the best, you and my brothers can often get together in the future. ”
These people are all brought together because of a common hobby. Previously, Zhang Hongchou and the others only heard Tang Xianzu mention that, and they didn't care about Ye Xiaotian's origin and origin, and they really asked at this time, and it was because they really regarded him as their brother.
Ye Xiaotian sighed and said with a wry smile: "Little brother, this official, it's really a long story...... Ye Xiaotian told him about the causes and consequences of coming to Jinling, don't look at Zhang Hongchou and the others usually look frivolous, in the end, they are official eunuchs, and the stakes will be understood when they hear it.
Zhang Hong laughed and said, "So to speak." You don't have to worry about it. Zhang Jiangling has fallen, and the court is liquidating the remnants of his party. You are the person who Zhang Jiangling personally instructed to be arrested, and this has become your talisman, and no one dares to risk being suspected of being Zhang Dang to make trouble for you. ”
Qiao Zhenhua's father is the imperial history, and he also knows the movements of the court very well, and comforted: "What Brother Zhang said is very true, but the turmoil in the DPRK and the central government, and no one can take care of you for a while, so you can stay here with peace of mind." When Zhang Dang is liquidated and the official positions vacated by Zhang Dang are cleared, no one will think of you, and it will be difficult to say at this time. It may also be a month or two, half a year is not unusual, sometimes, the big man pulls the skin for a long time. ”
Liu Junyang smiled: "You two heartless things. When Brother Ye Xian is not motivated like you? I think you should talk to the old man in the family about this, although they are not in charge. But if you come forward to ask, Brother Ye Xian's matter can be ended earlier. ”
Zhang Hongchou patted his chest and said: "It's no problem, although my father is from the military department, but if he goes to other yamen to say something, others have to sell him face." What's more, Brother Ye Xian's matter is not very moving, and it does not involve too high a position of power, so Brother Ye must be able to help. ”
Ye Xiaotian was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly raised his glass and said, "In this way, Xiaotian will thank my brother a lot." ”

Everyone ate this wine very happily, and when the banquet dispersed, Ye Xiaotian, Tang Xianzu, Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi walked back to the post house with a little wine, talking and laughing, and saw a few people standing at the door of the post house from a distance, and several people were looking around.
The light reflected on them was Zhan Ning'er, Sister Sun, and Elder Dong. At this time, it has been close to the end of the year, although the solar term in Jiangnan is not cold, but after all, it is not comparable to spring and summer, and the three of them are wearing cloaks and walking up and down the steps.
Before Ye Xiaotian and the others arrived, the noise of laughter had already passed, and Elder Dong was still squinting, and Zhan Ning'er had already stepped forward with a pair of long thighs to greet him. Zhan Ning'er said angrily: "Ye Xiaotian, where did you go to fill the cat urine, and you didn't come back until this hour!" ”
Mao Wenzhi said with a big tongue: "Big ...... Big brother, I look at the tone of Miss Ning'er's speech, but it looks like your wife! ”
Zhan Ning'er glared at him fiercely, Hua Yunfei hurriedly stepped back, beware of Zhan Ning'er kicking the big mouth Mao Zhishi, so as to catch him, who expected Zhan Ning'er to just glare at him, then looked at Ye Xiaotian again, and paused: "Yingying has been taken away!" ”
Ye Xiaotian was a little drunk, and when he heard Zhan Ning'er's coquettishness, he was about to tease her a few words, but when he heard this, he immediately stayed there, and he said in disbelief: "Yingying was taken away?" Who took it away? You...... Why don't you keep an eye on her? ”
Ye Xiaotian immediately imagined a terrible scene: he was too closely protected by his family since he was a child, so that Xia Yingying, who was innocent and did not know the dangers of the world, was abducted, humiliated, and even sold into a green building by human traffickers.
Zhan Ning'er said hatefully: "I'm watching? What am I looking at, when someone comes to take his daughter back, what reason do I have to stop me? ”
When Ye Xiaotian heard this, he first breathed a sigh of relief, and then became even more desperate. If Yingying is abducted by human traffickers, the situation may be terrible, but if she is rescued in time, it is not impossible to get it back. But what should he do if he was taken away by her Lao Tzu?
Hua Yunfei said: "Miss Zhan, Miss Xia's father came to Jinling?" Did he bring Miss Xia back to Red Maple Lake? ”
Zhan Ning'er said: "How do I know where he took Yingying?" They only came in the evening, so it shouldn't be too late to get out of town, yes! It was that Little Grandpa Xu who brought Old Man Xia and them here. ”
Ye Xiaotian said in surprise: "Grandpa Xu? You say Xu Qiyun? How did Old Man Xia know him? ”
Zhan Ning'er said angrily: "You ask me, who do I ask?" Anyway, when Lao Tzu comes to lead people, I can't stop them? Now that the people have been taken away, you can do it! ”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Early the next morning, the Duke of Wei's mansion.
Ye Xiaotian, Tang Xianzu, Mao Wenzhi and Hua Yunfei stood across the street.
Ye Xiaotian's eyebrows jumped, and he said, "The guards of the Wei State Mansion are soldiers?" Not a housekeeper? ”
Tang Xianzu said: "That is, the Duke of Wei is in my Daming." The status is very transcendent. Guarding the door with soldiers, in addition to the palace and the palace, there is also such treatment in the Wei State Mansion. ”
Hua Yunfei said: "Big brother, what should we do?" ”
Ye Xiaotian took a long breath and said, "Salute first and then soldier!" ”
Mao asked Zhidao: "How to salute first and then soldier?" ”
Ye Xiaotian said: "You guys wait here, I'll negotiate!" ”
After a cup of tea, there was a scream of "wow", and Ye Xiaotian was thrown out of the steps by the four guards of the Wei State Mansion, flying out of the fog and falling to the ground with a "tom". Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.
Ye Xiaotian was thrown to pieces, only to feel that the Venus in front of him was chaotic. When he went to Jingzhou, there happened to be a person who went to the Yang family to fight the autumn breeze through the old relationship and was thrown down the steps by the Yang family.
Tang Xianzu took two steps forward and said with concern: "Brother Ye Xian, are you okay?" ”
Ye Xiaotian smiled dryly: "I'm fine, I can't imagine that the people of the Wei Mansion are so domineering, I want to salute them first and then soldier." But they didn't give me a chance to 'salute'. ”
Mao Wenzhi said with his hands in a flash: "Big brother, if people don't reason with you, your etiquette will be useless, why don't we rush in!" ”
"Never!" Tang Xianzu changed color and said: "Don't be reckless! This is the Duke of Wei's mansion. ”
At this time, a young man dressed in a crane slowly walked out of the Wei State Mansion. There are also a few burly and strong generals behind. Seeing Ye Xiaotian, the man stopped and asked gently, "Do you want to see your brother Qiyun?" ”
Mao Wenzhi said in a rough voice: "What are you kid doing?" ”
A general shouted: "Bold, this is our son!" ”
The prince of Wei raised his hand to stop the shouting of the general. said to Ye Xiaotian and Ai Di: "My father has heard about Guan Xiaokun. Guan Xiaokun has now been grounded in the house by his father, and his younger brother has also been reprimanded by his father. Now that I'm repenting at the ancestral shrine, this matter is over, okay? ”
Ye Xiaotian said: "Shizi, I didn't come here for this matter, my female companion was taken away by her father last night, and it was Brother Ling who brought her father to the post house at that time." I wanted to see my female companion, so I wanted to ask Brother Ling about where their father and daughter went. ”
Shizi was slightly stunned, and suddenly said, "So that's the case." I understand, yesterday I went with my brother to the uncle of the Three Kingdoms. After his younger brother was punished by his father, Uncle Guo probably felt a little bored, so he moved to the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion. Hehe, the Marquis of Zhenyuan Mansion heard that Uncle Guo had arrived in Jinling, and he was also warmly invited. As far as I know, there is indeed a girl and his father and brother who were invited by the uncle of the Three Kingdoms and also went to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, if you want to find that girl, you can go to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion to ask. ”
At this time, a horse cart drove to the front of the house, and someone brought a few horses, the prince signaled to Ye Xiaotian, boarded the carriage, and those generals turned over and stepped on the war horse, escorting the prince of Wei to go.
Tang Xianzu came to Ye Xiaotian's side and said: "This is Xu Hongji, the prince of Wei just now, this person is humble and courteous, and has the style of a gentleman, but it is not comparable to his wandering brother, his words should be true." ”
Ye Xiaotian frowned and said, "Who is the town marquis he is talking about?" ”
Tang Xianzu said: "This town is the prince of Xia Guo. In that year, Gu Chengping Sichuan, fought in Guizhou, conquered Yunnan, and was promoted to the commander of Guizhou. He guarded Guizhou for more than ten years, and put down hundreds of rebellions.
During the Battle of Jingyan, Gu Cheng served as the governor of the left army, crusaded against the Yan army, was defeated and surrendered, and was sent to Beiping to assist in defending the city. After Chengzu ascended the throne, he sealed the town of Yuanhou, gave iron coupons, and went to Guizhen to guard, pacified the two major Tusi of the Tian family of Sizhou and Sinan, divided the eight mansions, changed the land and returned to the stream, which was very good. His descendants are hereditary marquises, but the marquis of the Gu family should be in Beijing now, but he doesn't know who is left behind in the Jinling Marquis's mansion. ”
Ye Xiaotian rubbed his chin and groaned: "This Gu family has a lot of connections with Guizhou!" He Gu Jiazu went to guard Guizhou, and even the two big dragons of Sizhou and Sinan were ......, good! I want to see if he can take care of my little loach if he takes care of his family's descendants! (To be continued......)
