After chatting with Hao Zhangmen for a while, Meng Yishan left the martial arts field and walked towards the main hall of the inspection department. Along the way, I pondered in my heart, "With the wealth of the Lu family, it shouldn't be easy to let go of Hao Datong?" If he didn't commit the poison, he was probably afraid that Hao Tian would get the news and secretly come back to seek revenge. ”

Lao Meng entered the court, sat down in front of the bookcase, and woke up the stove to warm his hands. Just as he was thinking about reviewing some official papers, before the chair was hot, Qian Lun, a dog-headed military advisor, ran over.

The money account room is now much more moisturized than when he was in Yejiazhuang, Meng Yishan regards him as his heart, and in addition to letting him manage the accounts, he also serves as the master of the knife and pen in the yamen, and has become a big celebrity in the inspection department.

Qian Lun smiled and bowed to Lao Meng, and said, "I've seen my lord, there is a matter." ”

"Well, who are you going to plead for, let's talk about it." Meng Yishan didn't raise his eyelids, and he was holding a pen to draw and sign the scroll there, and it was nothing more than a quasi-word to write back and forth. Lao Meng's writing is big and wild! Write that "quasi" as a separate family, like "two lives"

The money account room pursed his lips tightly and didn't dare to laugh, he held back very hard, and only then replied after relieving his breath: "It was Liu Li who posted a post on General Liu's mansion, and the deputy chief soldier is going to marry a Mrs. Ru, and he will celebrate in the church tonight and invite the adults to drink the wedding wine." ”

He took out a big red gilded wedding card from his sleeve and respectfully handed it to Lao Meng.

Meng Yishan sneered: "This guy got married tonight, and the wedding card was only sent to me now." I'm afraid it's a temporary supplement? He really thinks of me. ”

Lao Meng opened the post and glanced at it, and scolded disdainfully: "Fart like a lady, isn't it Liu Li's concubine!" Lao Tzu's six-grade official, go to support him to marry a little wife? He threw the wedding card under the table.

Lao Meng made up his mind not to go, and there was some discord between him and Liu Li.

Qian Lun bent down, worked hard to get under the table and picked up the wedding card again, wiped it with his sleeve, picked it up and said with a wry smile: "My lord, you have a dislike with Mr. Liu, it's okay if you don't go." But this is a must-have gift. ”

"What do you mean?" Lao Meng looked at Qian Lun inquiringly.

The money tent room muttered, "Is it up to me to go for the adults?" Bring a few gifts and go through the motions. ”

"Well...... Meng Yishan patted his head and said, "That's right, you have to take care of the scene." Fucking this officialdom is trouble. ”

He asked for the post again, took it and asked the money room: "Liu Li's wedding card, all the officials in Luoyang City have sent it all over?" Who went? ”

The money account room figured out Lord Meng's attitude, and said with a smile: "There are a lot of military generals, but none of the civil officials have gone, so it is very cold. I heard that this bride is still a popular girl in Huayue Building, what is her name "Yanhong". It's just a prostitute in a green house, and it's really not worth congratulating adults in person. ”

Meng Yishan laughed when he heard this, and said: "This old Liu is really fucked, and he is not popular!" ”

"Haha, yes, yes!" Qian Lun laughed on the side, and said in his heart: "You are not much better." ”

"Didn't go...... Hehe" After Meng Yishan laughed, he fell into deep thought, and the room was very silent for a while.

The practice in officialdom is that if there is a military general of the level of Liu Zongbing to marry a wife, the government and provincial officials in a place must congratulate him, otherwise he will not be a man.

But Liu Li married a Qinglou woman as a concubine, and he had to do a lot of things, making marrying Mrs. Ru as grand as marrying a wife, so he was a little ignorant of current affairs.

Although those big and small officials who were born in the literati were in secret and took off their official uniforms, no one was cleaner than anyone else.

But you can't do anything to cheer for a woman in a green house, and it is embarrassing to go to congratulate her, which violates the system and is equivalent to sweeping the dignity of Slovakia. Instead of losing everyone's face, it's better to lose Lao Liu's! So there were very few applicants.

Meng Yishan leaned on the side of the bookcase, his five fingers kept knocking on the table, and said to himself: "Everyone is not going to cheer, Lao Tzu is going to save him, Liu Li definitely has to accept my love, this is a matter of charcoal in the snow." ”

Lao Meng got up and said to Qian Lun: "Help me prepare a hundred taels of silver tickets, four-color gifts, Lao Tzu is going to Liu Li's house to eat and drink." He said angrily, "Damn! This kid's promotion banquet was set up as a family banquet just after the banquet, obviously earning a congratulatory gift. His grandma's! That's shrewd. ”

Qian Lun was stunned by what he said, and said in his heart, "My lord sees it more than me!" "I promised to go out and buy gifts.

Meng Yishan didn't care about his previous suspicions, and wanted to use this wedding banquet to win over Liu Li. As soon as He Yi was ready, he took the money account room and two messengers, got on the sedan chair and went straight to Liu's house.

"Lao Tzu went to congratulate alone? Lao Liu has two or three more kittens there, he has to be me to tear down the stage to see jokes, and he has to hate me to death? His grandmother's, that's not a favor, it's a grievance......"

Meng Yishan waved his hand and drank the sedan chair man, asking the sedan chair to stop. Qian Lun, who was following the congratulatory carriage, saw that the sedan chair had stopped, and he didn't know what was going on? He ran out of the car and asked, "My lord, ...... are you?" ”

Lao Meng lifted the sedan curtain and said to him: "Old Qian, you can't go first, you take my post to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion and invite the Marquis Gao to my uncle He Shangshu's house." I'll get together with the two of them there. Then he instructed the sedan chair driver: "Get up the sedan chair!" Diversion to Shangshufu. ”

At this moment, Liu Zongbing's official residence is hung with red colors, and firecrackers are ringing out! The big red happy word is high on the front of the door, the singing, dancing and drum music are very noisy, and the congratulatory guests are constantly shuttling. The price of the golden gift is sent upward, and the porter who keeps the account is sour, and it is very lively. The whole house was filled with a festive atmosphere, and the slight inadequacy was that the bridegroom did not come to the hall to entertain guests, but was only greeted by the chief butler of the house. When the host arrived, there was a bit of coldness in the noisy scene.

Liu Li was pacing back and forth in the new room, his face very annoyed. Yesterday, he scattered hundreds of posts, all over the three departments of Luoyang City, the government and the three bureaucrats, most of whom could not refuse, and only sent housekeepers or guests to send congratulatory gifts. The people who came to eat the wine in person were not too small to provoke him, but only those military attachés who obeyed orders under him, which was equivalent to a big slap in the face of General Liu Bing.

Liu Li loved the concubine Yanhong, but this Mrs. Ru was not from a good background, he handled this matter in a big way, invited officials at all levels in Luoyang City, and even Meng Yishan, who was at odds with him, sent someone to hand over the post, and took the trouble to arrange it, just to make his "heart and liver baby" feel happy and happy, and his face was bright, and he was no longer the lowly Qinglou girl, but the general soldier's Mrs. Ru.

In order to earn face, Yan Hong also invited her best sisters from Huayue Building and set up a table to show off her majesty as the wife of the chief soldier.

At the moment, no one came to cheer, but Liu Li was in a hurry, and he was so annoyed that the mouth of the group of girls in Huayuelou was enough, and he went back to recite it, and he Lao Liu would have to look down on the prostitutes in the future.

"Shame on you and throw it at the girl's house!" The chief soldier cursed indignantly.

His little concubine Yanhong was originally dressed up coquettishly and charming, and she was bent on following the master to greet the guests, but now it seems that there is no need to worry about it, none of those big people came.

Yan Hong felt wronged in her heart, and was sitting in front of the bed with pear blossoms crying with rain. The beauty cried and cried, breaking the heart of Mr. Liu, and went up to comfort him with regret, but he couldn't persuade him.

Liu Li was so angry that he slammed the table, cursing and stomping his feet again and again! I can't wait to gather my troops and horses to tie those people up. Gritted his teeth and waited for more than half an hour, but no one came during this period.

Liu Li began to feel blocked in his heart, thinking that today's happy event could be regarded as a dismal ending, which was very unpleasant. A servant came in to report: "Lord Gao, He Shangshu and Master Meng are here to congratulate the master." ”

When the chief soldier heard it or not, he asked again, and if it was really these three people who came, his spirits were lifted! Hurriedly pulled up Yanhong and went out to welcome the guests.

Hou Ye and Master Shangshu enjoyed the light together, Lao Liu was full of dark clouds, and his happy face was about to smile. All the way, I was still thinking, "This Meng Yishan is a good person, really righteous!" also brought Shangshu and Hou Ye to add color, which was a misunderstanding of him in the past. ”

Liu Li led Mrs. Ru all the way to the gate. As soon as the two sides looked at each other, Mr. Liu gave Lao Shangshu and Hou Ye a salute, and said with an eager smile: "Hou Ye and Master Shangshu can come to the cold house, which really gives Liu Litian a big face, welcomes the late, and still prays for forgiveness." ”

After greetings, he turned to Meng Yishan and pointed his finger in appreciation: "Lord Meng! Enough friends. ”

Lao Meng laughed loudly, and looked at Liu Li with eye contact, everything was silent! Some of the unpleasantness of the past has since disappeared.

Liu Zongbing then introduced the bride to the three adults, and when he saw Yan Hong, Meng Yishan felt that she was still a beauty, meeting the standards for marrying a concubine, and thought to herself, "Taking advantage of Liu Li's gratitude to Lao Tzu at this time, I still have to praise him again!" Lao Meng thought about it and said it, and praised it complimentarily: "Brother Liu! The new lady is really beautiful and beautiful. ”

Liu Zongbing was very useful for this compliment, laughed heartily and said: "I have won the prize!" ”

He Shangshu's face was uncertain, and he said in his heart, "What bastard metaphor? "He was forced out of his house by Meng Jian, and he was a little resentful.

Hou Ye Gao was very trouble-free, and as soon as he met and talked about things, Hou Ye agreed to come along. He just wanted to eat, drink, and have fun, and gamble two more when he got drunk.

A few people walked all the way into the inner hall under Liu Li's humility, and a banquet had already been placed inside, and the outside room was still greeted by the housekeeper, and Liu Zongbing and the bride stayed inside to entertain the three adults. Yan Hong personally gave the three people to the wine, accompanied by Liu Li, and the four of them chatted while drinking, and the atmosphere of the guests and hosts was very harmonious.

Before an hour, the outside suddenly became lively, people and horses were noisy, and the welcoming little people sang the official name endlessly.

It turned out that those officials, big and small, heard that Lord Shangshu and Lord Hou went to Liu's house to congratulate him in person, and they were a little uninteresting if they didn't move. Rather than not being a person inside and out, it is better to have a "good fate" with Liu Zongbing.

In a moment, dozens of official sedan chairs, large and small, were parked in the open space in front of Liu's house, and a group of officials flocked to it, and Zhao Tianze, the political envoy, was also impressively listed.

Even the prefect Li Chongyi, who had a clean breeze on his sleeves, brought a handwritten calligraphy and painting to congratulate him.

Master Li didn't want to come, but it was just for He Shangshu's face, and the old teacher had arrived, so he had to come over and take a look. Governor Li drank two glasses of happy wine, and said a few words to He Shangshu, so he took the excuse of being busy with official business and went home.

Time has passed in the dark, and it is almost dusk.

The red light in front of Liu's Mansion was hung high, beaming with joy. The guests have been gone for a while, and the wedding hall is still very lively, and the guests are staggered, pushing the cup and changing the lamp.

Taking advantage of the wine and the snow scene outside, a few literati and Qing guests also improvised a handful of poems, singing the moon and chanting the wind, and won a lot of colorful sounds.

Those rugged military attaches had already gathered together and roared and issued a drinking order: "Three peach orchards! Five Leaders! Eight horses! Six-six-six. The shouting was like thunder for a while, Meng Yishan liked this kind of tune, ran out of it to the table, and fought with these deputy generals and thousands of generals one by one, and those who lost would be punished for drinking.

Laughing and punching a few times, everyone drank several glasses of wine regardless of winning or losing, and drank a lot during the day, and when their faces were red and their ears were hot, they began to pat each other's shoulders and call each other brothers, Lao Meng and these generals became familiar at once, and everyone was drinking and playing there.

The hot atmosphere in the hall also provoked the girls of Huayuelou, these warblers and Yanyan also did not let the eyebrows, and began to draw wine boxing, what they said was full of red, two branches of spring, five plum blossoms, a pair of mandarin ducks' wine order, coquettish laughter, and all kinds of amorous.

Most of today's guests are guests of Huayue Building, and a few girls who are good at socializing are shuttling back and forth in the field, flirting with the guests. There are also some "why don't you come for a day, but you want to die in the slave family", and the "good officials" they don't recognize in the whole wedding hall are none of the ten.

Drinking and drinking, several military attachés pretended to be crazy with wine, ran to the table of the girls in Huayuelou, and began to move their hands and feet against this group of lively women, causing screams and laughter.

It was not a woman from a good family who was taken advantage of, she smiled and pulled and hugged the group of military attachés, and hooked her eyes, which made this group of people even more drunk after drinking, and the lust and soul disappeared.

Meng Yishan smiled at everything in front of him, feeling very kind, only when he was feasting on the bandits in Black Tiger Village, it was similar to this moment, and he couldn't help but pick up the wine jug and tilt his head, and put a pot of wine into his stomach.

After staying outside for half a moment, Lao Meng was found by Liu Li and Gao Houye. Gao Changtai grabbed him with a smile and encouraged: "Let's go, let's go to the back hall to bet on a few pai gow." Mr. Liu also helped on the side, and even said, "Brother Meng, my brother is happy today, and he must have a good time." ”

Before Lao Meng could agree, he was eagerly pulled in by the two. When I entered the inner hall, I saw that the banquet had already been removed, and a table of eight immortals was placed in the center, on which a deck of dominoes was placed.

Political envoy Zhao Tianze and Lao Shangshu were sitting at the card table, and there were two empty chairs next to them, waiting for others to join.

When He Shangshu saw Meng Yishan, he breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Lao Meng with hopeful eyes. The bandit was a little puzzled, Old Man He stood up tremblingly, and said to him tiredly: "Yishan, Gao Hou proposed to bet on Pai Gow." The old man is old and frail, and he can't stay up all night. You push a few for your uncle. ”

After drinking, Gao Changtai said that he would play pai gow and bet one hundred taels. Liu Li and Zhao Tianze were happily in favor.

Only He Shangshu raised his brows, and said in his heart: "One of you is the Hou Ye, a general who leads the troops, and the remaining one is still a feudal official, and they are all very rich." My old man has no oil and water, and he can't afford to gamble! "Lao Shangshu has been retired for many years, and his family foundation is thin. One bet one hundred taels, a little timid when I heard it.

Old man He made up his mind to let Lao Meng take over the game, and threw the matter over as soon as he came in.

Meng Yishan knew in his heart that Old Man He was pretending to be and would not expose it. He still had to buy his uncle's face, and said very arrogantly: "Okay! Lao Tzu sat in the village and won him a few thousand taels just for the New Year. Pulled over the chair and sat down politely, replacing He Shangshu, a "poor bastard"

The remaining three people are very welcome, and everyone knows that Lao Meng is worth a lot of money, and he is in charge of the inspection department and has a mountain of gold. It's the big sheep in the money box, and he has sharpened the butcher's knife in his heart.

He Shangshu's heart fell to the ground, and he pretended to tell Lao Meng not to play more and gamble. I said goodbye to a few adults and went home relaxed.

Meng Yishan's upper house was Liu Li, Marquis Gao chose the Tianmen opposite, and Zhao Tianze sat in his lower house. The lord of the domain was full of ambition with a fat face, and there was a young man in Tsing Yi with red lips and white teeth next to him who was holding him a pot of dragon wells, which was very big.

Lao Meng glared at him, snorted coldly, and pushed the cards on the table with his hand, shouting: "Shuffle the cards!" ”

Mrs. Ru stepped forward with a smile, and was so skillful that she scrubbed the thirty-two dominoes several times and folded them together. After getting it done, the little bird leaned back to Liu Li's side, her husband was beside her, her eyes were charming, but the water was flowing, and she couldn't stop looking at the sturdy old Meng, with a smile on her face.

It's a pity that a few people in the middle of the seat Gao Hou Ye want to play cards, and Lao Meng and Fantai's thoughts are also on the card game, and at this moment, the groom is still interested in beauty.
