Chapter Forty-Nine: The Night Feast

It's good to be a plaything and lose your mind.

It's just that, as Le Anhou, he still has to socialize.

Yan returned to the building, Shui Bo sat alone by the railing, poured himself a drink, and was free, as if he was alone, but unfortunately, he was still in the game.

At midnight, the banquet has been held for an hour and a half, the singing and dancing is thick, Yan Huilou's most wonderful singing voice, the most good dancer, dancers are dancing in front of the table, although it is a glamorous music, but it is also touching.

On the felt made of fine wool, the skirt sleeves of the dancers are flying, the light gauze is oscillating, the pink skin is looming, the light of the red candle is reflected on their delicate faces, and even the beads of sweat on their foreheads are crystal clear.

Shui Bo lazily stretched out his hand and grabbed the waist of a dancer who had swirled in front of him, and the dancer suddenly had a gloomy face, buried her head shyly, and buried her powder in Shui Bo's dark hair.

A rich man on the main seat suddenly laughed: "Haha, it's still chic, everyone should learn from our Le'an Hou." ”

This person's surname is Zheng, Zheng Zhimin, Ziqing, and the eldest son of the Duke of Chu State. The Zheng family is also a long-standing hairpin, and its power is deeply rooted in Chuzhou, and this uprising of the displaced people is just a trivial trouble for him, and it is impossible to say that there is still something for the Zheng family to take advantage of, in contrast, he is afraid that he is more concerned about the imperial court's suppression of the army......

Of course, the main object of his reception banquet this time was not the Marquis of Shuiboshui, who was treated as a mascot, but the generals Guo Yinghuai and Guo Mingyuan.

Guo Yinghuai is born in Jin Wuwei, a close minister of the emperor, with a stoic temperament, and he is also a rare sober general in the declining Feng Dynasty, but because he is not from a family, he has a sister who enters the palace as a concubine.

Since the beginning of the banquet, Guo Huaiying has been silent, and even the chopsticks have not moved much, and the delicacies on the table are not in his eyes, only occasionally in the depths of his eyes, and there is a faint feeling of depression.

Fortunately, the host can speak well, the water wave this person, and the most elegant, wine and food, Soma boiled eagle, stunning beauty, all kinds of attractive topics at hand, and there is no risk of coldness.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, everyone present is half drunk and half awake, but Guo Yinghuai is still as heavy as water, no happy face, Shui Bo hugged the beauty, looked at him coldly, and suddenly smiled, Shui Bo has been smart since he was a child, and he is not really ignorant of the world, what is this young general thinking, how can he not know?

This person just came to Chuzhou, saw many barren fields, and many displaced people, and knew in his heart that the cause of all this was not only natural disasters, but man-made disasters - natural disasters for many years, the government not only did not release grain to help the poor, but also looted the people, these people really can't survive, so they flocked.

When he saw all this, he felt angry in his heart, but what could he do, not only here to fight with this group of local snakes in Chuzhou, but also to wave the butcher's knife at all the homeless people who dared to rise up, and pick out the so-called 'rebels' identified by the officials of Chuzhou as 'traitors' to behead the public, kill one by one, and try to stabilize the so-called overall situation?

Shui Bo watched coldly, neither contempt nor concern about Guo Huaiying's anger and cowardice, and he himself was the same, always hesitating and contradictory.

Unconsciously, Shui Bo was drunk and hazy, and remembered the maverick seventh son Mu Yanzhao of the Mu family, that person was different from them, that person was also a sober person, his eyes saw this turbid world clearly, but he was never decadent, never believed that the world was difficult to change, and he also knew that there were countless last resorts in the world, but he was still willing to do it bit by bit, and he was not afraid of doing a lot of useless work - that person was the strangest son of the family he had ever seen.

Immersed in these drunken gold fans, Shui Bo suddenly missed him a little.

The rebellion and suppression of bandits in Chuzhou still had a little impact on Yazhou, that is, there were inevitably more displaced people in the war.

And the Gu family's house, at any cost, on the basis of absorbing a lot of homeless helpers, was built at a rapid pace, and just two months later, it had already begun to take shape.

Liu Mutou now eats and lives on the construction site every day, and seems to think that before the house is built, all the furniture will be ready, and the apprentices under him all say that they have not seen their master so focused for many years.

It's just that the two brothers and sisters of the Gu family are not thinking about their new home now, nor on the reclamation of wasteland, and now the first priority is the upcoming entrance examination of Jixian Hall.

Gu Wan has recently put aside all the work at hand, and even the small library building that she discussed with Mu Qigongzi with great interest a while ago and jointly built it was put in the back of her mind, and the days of 'opening the door to welcome guests' were greatly delayed, and the housework was all taken care of by Mother Qian, and Lu Sanniang assisted in the management, and she concentrated on sorting out Gu's manuscripts for her eldest brother.

Housework should have been managed by Lu Sanniang, she had also positioned herself as the housekeeper of the Gu family, but now she is pregnant, her body is bulky, and her body bones are not particularly good, after all, she used to be the wife of an official family, and she is very different from those peasant women who are pregnant and can work in the field, even if she wants to help Gu Wan wholeheartedly, Gu Wan does not dare to let her be too tired, besides, she has a mother-in-law to take care of herself, and she really has no energy to do superfluous things.

Fortunately, since Lu Sanniang's stomach bulged, her mother-in-law seemed to have the motivation to live again, her spirit was much more uplifting than before, and her body was significantly better, so that this third lady had a little less to worry about.

Although Gu Wan didn't know what the assessment of Jixian Hall was, she had a life experience after all, and she knew something about Gu Yiqing, and she went to school in the 21st century. Tickets', she can be regarded as racking her brains, carefully and properly sorting out the complicated books and manuscripts, listing the outlines, highlighting the key points, and listing the practical topics that may be tested in the Jixian Pavilion, and let Gu Anran try to do it, and even repeatedly, and conducted several mock exams on the spot.

This series of actions, not to mention anything else, at least, greatly weakened Gu Anran's nervousness.

Until Gu Wan felt that the preparations that should be made were done, now it was only time to watch the eldest brother play on the spot, and the 'preparation' was not over, looking at Gu Anran, who seemed to be confident, Gu Wan raised her eyebrows, and felt that she should let him out to exchange experiences with her classmates, after all, you can't just study behind closed doors forever, and be the frog at the bottom of the well.
