Waiting to get out of the carriage and walk alone on East Street, the people coming and going, bustling, made him suddenly feel lonely and desperate.

He found a tavern, and after the cat went in, he called for a pot of wine, poured himself a drink, like those literati and writers from the past and present, his chest overflowed with self-hurt, and he wanted to write a poem, but he has been neglecting literature for a long time.

I became more and more depressed, and when I looked up, I poured down most of the pot of wine, and when the wine came up, I felt dizzy and dizzy.

"Yo, isn't this Yuan Shilang?" Suddenly, a mocking voice was heard.

He slowly looked up, only to see a middle-aged man in a blue brocade robe walking in with an attendant, and when he looked closely, it was the servant of the ministry.

His heart suddenly felt empty, and his face was panicked, because this wife of Wu Shilang was once his friend.

Wu Shilang is fifty and three this year, and the original wife was on his promotion side, and he took a leave of absence with good jealousy, and then married the current wife, and then continued to take concubines, and now there are three concubines, and there are seven or eight who have no name.

In the first year of the assessment, he made a mistake, because he was promoted to the squire and went through the back door, and he was worried that he would not pass the assessment, so he begged to go to Wu Shilang's house and gave a lot of gifts, but Wu Shilang was not greedy enough, and asked him to send another three thousand taels of silver, but he didn't raise enough for a while, offended Wu Shilang, and he couldn't go that year, but fortunately, his uncle came forward later, and the matter was settled.

After Wu Shilang came over, he smiled and said: "I almost forgot, now it's not Yuan Shilang, I have to call Hou Ye, I heard that you are sick and resigned, is this illness cured?" ”

Waiting for these people, he was already habitually stammering and subconsciously showing weakness, so even if he could hear the ridicule and contempt in his tone, he didn't dare to refute it, but just said with a smile: "It turned out to be Lord Wu, thank you for your greetings, it's nothing, you have a heart." ”

He is a dignified marquis, but he doesn't dare to offend even a watchdog on the side of the officials, let alone a waiter.

Wu Shilang sat down with a smile and looked at him opposite, his face full of sarcasm and mockery, "Yuan Balong, you are really not as good as a dog, a dog still knows how to read people's faces, you are a wreck, it is really better to die." ”

The sudden attack on Wu Shilang was expected to be waiting.

It's not because of his wife's business, but because the three thousand taels of silver were not enough, he went to Wu Shilang to intercede, and it happened that the secretary of the ministry knew about it, and reprimanded and warned Wu Shilang, Wu Shilang has hated him since then, and has been against him everywhere, which also leads to every assessment after that, he has to find a relationship to trust favors, when he was in office, he dreamed of Wu Shilang being transferred, but Wu Shilang is a nail in the buttocks, and he has been staying in the ministry.

Now in the face of Wu Shilang's hateful face, he can only use the smell of wine to say: "Lord Wu really likes to laugh." ”

"Rubbish!" Wu Shilang saw that he couldn't provoke him, so he couldn't help but scold proudly.

waited and only hoped that he would leave quickly, so he didn't say anything, just looked at Wu Shilang and smiled flatteringly.

"Lord Wu is so powerful!"

King An's voice came coldly.

The two of them raised their heads suddenly, and saw that King An, who was wearing a python robe, didn't know when he was standing behind the two of them, his face was solemn, and he looked at Wu Shilang coldly, "The marquis has a knighthood, so he is not an official of the imperial court, and he can't tolerate your contempt!" ”

There were many people in this tavern, and King An reprimanded Wu Shilang like this, so that Wu Shilang's face was suddenly gloomy, but he didn't dare to argue, he only stood up and arched his hand, "The prince is right, the next official will leave!" ”

"Get out!" King An said coldly.

This rolling word made Wu Shilang feel angry, but he didn't dare to show his anger and walked away.

Jing Wait, who had never seen Wu Shilang so deflated, couldn't help but feel happy, and hurriedly stood up and saluted King An, "Xiao Hou has seen the prince, thank you Hou Ye for helping." ”

King An sat down in a raised robe, and his voice was hearty, "Master Hou doesn't have to be polite, this king can't get used to his weird appearance, so he just reprimanded him." ”

Waiting for a flattering smile, this smile was habitual, and he himself inadvertently revealed.

After laughing, he remembered that the old thing was designed by King An, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart.

It's just that when Xiao Er brought over the wine glass and put it on the table, he immediately stood up respectfully and poured the wine, "Lord Wang, please have a drink." ”

Seeing his humble attitude, King An was very satisfied, and took a sip of his wine glass, "This wine is not good, if you don't dislike it, it's better to go to King An's mansion for a drink." ”

"Don't dislike, don't dislike, can't ask for it!" Waiting to be flattered, he said it right away.

King An stood up and said meaningfully: "Master Hou, please!" ”

Waiting to bow down, "Lord Wang, please." ”

When he came to King An's mansion, King An ordered someone to serve fine wine, push the cup and change the lamp, and after a while, he was drunk for seven or eight minutes.

He has a good amount of alcohol, and because he has been socializing a lot over the years, the amount of alcohol must be good.

But his heart was upset, and the wine was very strong, he really couldn't stand it.

Seeing that he was almost drunk, King An put down his wine glass and looked at the waiting, "Master Hou is only in his forties this year, right?" is in the prime of life like Hou Ye, and when it is time to serve the imperial court, why did he hang up his boots and resign? ”

Waiting for the smell of wine to be strong, hearing this, and then looking at King An's face full of deep meaning, he remembered that because of this matter, he ran into a wall on Yuwenhao and Yuan Qingling's side, and he knelt down directly with anger in his heart, "Lord Wang, if you can help me, Xiaohou is willing to serve you as a dog and horse." ”

King An sat up straight, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he knelt down for a moment, and then slowly helped him up, "Hou Ye doesn't have to be like this, if Hou Ye really wants to return to officialdom, this king has a suitable opportunity." ”

When he was waiting to leave King An's Mansion, his steps were vain, and he was half dizzy.

King An called someone to send him, and he got into the carriage, and fell asleep, and when he reached the house, he was helped down.

After entering the mansion, he returned to the house of his concubine Zhou, and lay down at the end of the head, and the words of King An kept echoing in his ears, "If the matter is completed, this king promises that you can replace Lord Wu and serve as the servant of the ministry." ”

The servant of the ministry, the servant of the ministry.

From now on, he will master the important position of assessing officials, and in the future, officials of all sizes will give him gifts and look at his face and behave.

It's so appealing.

He seemed to have a dream, dreaming that Wu Shilang knelt in front of him and gave him three thousand taels of silver, but he kicked him out.

It's very happy, it's very happy.

"I don't know which vixen I went to eat with and ate so drunk."

In my ears, it was the voice of the concubine Zhou scolding.

He opened his eyes suddenly, and the world swirled as if in a dream.

His fists clenched slowly, his eyes narrowed, he never looked at people's faces again, he asked all those who had insulted him to come down to his door.
