Chapter 123: Captain Shaved
Tang Tong invited Tian Gong and his subordinates to help, and the leader was Lu Yaode. The chief of the yamen, the governor, the officials, the pen and the soldiers, who have been doing things for a few days. Tian Gonghe's subordinates and the soldiers who ran the yamen were in the hall downstairs, and the two private rooms upstairs just sat down Lu Yaode's cronies and his own men.
Tang Tong asked a man to go to the yamen to invite Lord Zhu and Master Hu, and many of the master Bo and officials who ran the yamen were all flattering to Tang Tong. Tang Tong responded politely, this is everyone's credit. At this time, Shen Jingwen and Hu Jin both came. Zhu Siliang is not in the yamen, Tang Tong actually wishes that he would not come, so that Tang Tong is the biggest official, so as not to feel uncomfortable. Tang Tong let Ren Zhizhi go to the private room next door, so as not to make him uncomfortable with these officials.
Everyone has arrived, Tang Tong raised the wine glass first, "Everyone pick up the wine glass!" Everyone has worked very hard for eight days, and today I have a treat! Let's have a drink first!", everyone finished a drink together.
Shen Jingwen stood up with a wine glass, "Everyone! Everyone has seen it with their own eyes in the past few days, if it weren't for Lord Tang, how could we raise so much money so quickly, and Lord Tang also invited our subordinates to dinner, what a lot of affection. Come! Lord Tang, I toast you!", after all these days, Tang Tong saw that Shen Jingwen was Shang Chengjie's cronies and a doer.
As long as he has a good relationship with Shen Jingwen, Zhu Siliang can cross over. What's more, after this incident, Tang Tong has established his prestige. So Tang Tong immediately stood up, "Lord Shen is polite!" Lord Shen is our God of Wealth, if you can agree to my request, I will drink three glasses in a row!", he said as he looked at him.
Shen Jingwen stretched out his hand very happily, "Lord Tang! Please say!".
Tang Tong held his wine glass, "Lord Shen! The 500,000 taels of silver to build roads and bridges is just right, I am afraid that I will have big hands and feet, and I will accidentally make a deficit, Lord Shen must keep an eye on me, regardless of whether Lord Shen agrees or not. I'll drink three glasses myself!", Tang Tong picked up the cup and dried, adding wine and drinking two more glasses.
Shen Jingwen raised his mother's finger, "Happy!" I promise you, I'll drink three glasses with you!", and after saying that, he also drank three glasses.
What Tang Tong said, Shen Jingwen is a person who understands people's hearts. is incapable and does not work, only Zhu Siliang is the most active in grabbing credit, and Shen Jingwen is also entrusted by Lord Shangshu to take care of the accounts, which is his duty.
At this time, Hu Jin also stood up, "Lord Tang! Great work! Lord Zhu is often absent, no one in the yamen really can't leave, so he didn't go to help raise money, I drank three cups, and Lord Tang drank this cup, which is regarded as making amends.", Zhu Siliang didn't care about anything at all, Hu Jin was to look after him, so he sat in the yamen for eight days, and he always had to talk about his heart on this occasion.
After finishing speaking, he was about to drink, but Tang Tong immediately stopped him, "Wait! Master Hu doesn't treat me as a brother, I'll drink three cups too, let's do it!", Tang Tong immediately drank three cups, and Hu Jin also drank three cups.
At this time, it was Mo Lixin's turn, and he stood up, "Everyone, Lord Shen and Lord Hu have both toasted Lord Tang three cups, and Lord Tang must climb down if he drinks like this. Starting from me, we only salute Lord Tang with one cup, Lord Tang, I respect you! I'll do it first!", Tang Tong looked at Mo Lixin affectionately, and felt that this person was not simple, so he drank this glass of wine.
Then I drank four more glasses of toast, sat down for a while, and ate some food. Standing up politely, "Drink first, everybody!" I went next door and downstairs to pay respects to the brothers!".
Mo Lixin also stood up, "These brothers are also very hard today!" I'll go with Lord Tang.", after speaking, he walked out of the private room with Tang Tong. Seeing that the two went out, the others toasted each other again.
The reason why Mo Lixin wanted to leave with Tang Tong was because he had something to say to Tang Tong, and when he went out, Mo Lixin pulled Tang Tong to a dead end and said to Tang Tong: "Lord Tang! Do you know why Zhu Siliang didn't come to the banquet today?".
"I don't know!", Tang Tong shook his head in confusion.
Mo Li Xinyi sighed affectionately, "There is a vacancy in the head of the military department, and he is seeking this position.".
Tang Tong smiled disappre一门ly, "So that's the case, then I have to congratulate Master Zhu!".
Mo Lixin sneered disdainfully, "It's just his wishful thinking, I heard that this matter is a little difficult, Xia Zhan has already intervened in this matter.", shook his head and sneered, looking down on him at all.
Tang Tong patted Mo Lixin on the shoulder, "Don't say these disappointing words, go!" Drink and go!".
Mo Li looked at Tang Tong sincerely, really worried about him, "I am not worth it because of Lord Tang, in the end, I didn't do anything, and the credit goes to Zhu Siliang.".
"People are watching the sky, it's not so easy!", Tang Tong said very confidently.
Mo Lixin was impressed by Tang Tong's generosity, but what should be said must be said, "Lord Tang had better guard against it!" He is a real villain.".
Tang Tong patted Mo Lixin on the shoulder again, "I'll pay attention, thank you Lord Mo for your concern!".
At this time, Qu Zhaofeng twisted his waist and came over, throwing his eyes and saying, "Yo! Why is Captain Tang here, I'm about to make a toast.".
Tang Tong and Qu Zhaofeng couldn't be more familiar with each other, so they stepped forward and pulled her, "Boss Qu, wait!" I'm going to salute the brothers, and come back again!".
Qu Zhaofeng leaned over to Tang Tong's side, with a provocative look, "I'll go to the adults who run the yamen first, waiting for you to come!" Tang Tong took advantage of the situation and hugged her, "Okay! Wait for me later!", he straightened her, threw a wink, and entered the private room next door.
Next door is Lu Yaode's group of Jianghu brothers, and Ren Zhizhi's group of brothers in his own military camp, first toast everyone with a glass of wine, and then have a drink with Lu Yaode alone. Together with Mo Lixin, he only toasted a glass at each table downstairs and came up, just when the meaning arrived, Tang Tong settled the account by the way when he came up, and Mo Lixin has been accompanied.
At this time, Qu Zhaofeng had finished saluting everyone's wine, and Hu Jin was drinking with Qu Zhaofeng for the first time, and he was pestering her. Seeing Tang Tong coming, Qu Zhaofeng immediately left his seat to greet Tang Tong, "Tang Duwei!" I'm finally looking forward to you!", he leaned on Tang Tong and pulled his left hand, and sat down on the seat. Everyone present immediately understood that the relationship between the two was not ordinary, and they did not dare to entangle Qu Zhaofeng anymore.
In fact, who would know, this is just for everyone to see. The two of them have this kind of relationship, and when they come out of the city, they have to worry about Tang Tong's face and really protect Qu Zhaofeng. This matter was agreed between Chen Xiao and Tang Tong, in order to stop Qu Zhaofeng from being bullied, Chen Xiao handed a message between the two of them, asking the two of them to pretend to be in front of others and show them to everyone.
Chen Xiao is really well-intentioned, on the one hand is his best friend, on the other hand is his beloved. But the two were brought together, in case there was really affection, it was Chen Xiao himself who was hurt. But Chen Xiao didn't care about these, just because she believed that Tang Tong and Qu Zhaofeng were people, not the kind of people who saw things and crossed the river and demolished the bridge.
Tang Tong was also forced, but fortunately, it was just during the banquet that the two of them intersected, and they were busy on weekdays, so they didn't have a chance to stay together at all, which gave Tang Tong a good excuse to talk to Qin Xinyi about it. It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, with Tang Tong's flamboyant tongue, in the absence of empirical evidence, men are just acting on the spot.
Qu Zhaofeng looked at Tang Tong's eyes differently, and said coquettishly: "I salute Tang Duwei with a glass!", when Tang Tong was about to raise a glass to drink, Qu Zhaofeng coquettishly said: "Let's have a glass of wine!", Tang Tong smiled and leaned on her, and the two drank a cup kissed.
Qu Zhaofeng excitedly announced, "I will invite a few tables of banquets for Tang Duwei today!", Mo Lixin immediately explained after hearing this, "Lord Tang has already settled the account when he comes up!".
Qu Zhaofeng knew Tang Tong's personality, and when he heard it, he pretended to point at him, "What does this make me say about you!".
Tang Tong raised his wine glass, "Next time!" Let's have another toast!", Qu Zhaofeng was still happy to have another toast with Tang Tong..
The main purpose of this drinking was to win over Shen Jingwen's relationship, but he didn't expect to subdue Mo Lixin. Drinking and chatting with Shen Jingwen again, today's purpose has been achieved.
Last time at the gate of the barracks, this time in the Tongfu Teahouse, two consecutive shaved buns, and fast and ruthless, now the outer city has spread, there is a shaved bun lieutenant in Xidingmen, Tang Tong just got the title of a shaved bun lieutenant.
