But sometimes, things can't be avoided.

As usual, after Xu He got married, he would invite a group of colleagues to dinner.

People come to the door and follow the molecules, and afterwards, don't you want to thank them?

The rules of thousands of years are very similar, and the same is true in this regard.

Of course, Xu He didn't want to give a drink at this time to thank him, at least he had to wait for the arrangement to come down.

However, seeing that it has been more than 20 days, it is really unreasonable not to drink again.

In the end, he had no choice but to ask Ding Ze to go to a restaurant not far from the yamen of Hanlin Courtyard and book a dozen tables.

Since Qiu Teng and below, all the posts have been spilled out.

On the day of the banquet, Qiu Teng had already explained that he would not come.

He is now a big man, and he is also in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and there are many trivial matters, so he usually does not attend this kind of occasion.

Zhang Lan, as the actual leader of the Hanlin Academy, said that he was here, but after waiting for a long time and seeing that the hour was not early, he had not yet appeared.

sent someone to invite two groups, but only said that they were stumped by something, and let everyone open the table first, and there was no need to wait for him.

There was no way, Xu He had no choice but to enter the house and announce the start.

At the beginning, everyone laughed and laughed, talked about the wind and recited the moon, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

But soon, some people drank too much and began to let loose their bones, and they couldn't keep their mouths shut in front of Xu He.

Xu He is talking to Xie Liangcai, Zhang Tengxiao and others here.

Suddenly, a man walked over with a wine glass and a flushed face.

As soon as he arrived in front of Xu He, he patted Xu He on the shoulder with a drunken spirit: "Champion Gong, I toast you!" ”

The surname of the person is Jiang Mingxi, a native of Jian'an County, Jianning Prefecture, Fujian, with the character Kui, twenty-nine this year, the same year as Xu He.

He was born in the second class, and his ranking is not as high as Xie Liangcai, but he also sits in the Hanlin Academy.

"It turned out to be Brother Benkui, I didn't greet you well, forgive me!"

Although Xu He was unhappy when he was patted on the shoulder, and the person opposite was very close, and his mouth was full of wine spraying his face, Xu He still smiled.

Jiang Yu smiled and said: "Champion Yuangong, there have been several gatherings in the same year, why don't you go?" ”

Indeed, since the end of the court examination, there have been various gatherings among the new scholars, but this kind of gathering is nothing more than an ineffective social interaction that praises each other, Xu He doesn't like these occasions, and only picks a few parties that look more normal.

Others politely declined.

"It's really a lot of things on weekdays, so much so that I lost my closeness to Brother Ben Kui!" Xu He said lightly.

But this Jiang Yu didn't know whether he was playing on the topic or being drunk or unintentionally, he didn't listen to Xu He's explanation at all, and slapped Xu He on the chest again: "Champion Gong, I know, you have a dang, an uncle who is an old man, and now you are a princess, you don't look down on us!" ”

Hearing this, Xu He's face suddenly changed.

At this time, a lot of eyes were focused.

Seeing this, Xie Liang got up and helped Jiang Yi and said, "Brother Jiang, you are drunk!" ”

He kindly went to help Jiang Lu's shoulder, but Jiang Lu pushed him away and scolded: "What are you Xie Dev pretending to do?" You're not much better, look at you, but you're just a second-class scholar, why did King Qi invite you over and over again? ”

"It's not because of your Dali Siqing's old son!"

"You come and persuade me, am I drunk? You're just afraid that I'll piggyback on something that makes you uncomfortable to listen to! ”

"Hahahaha......"

When the people around heard this, they all burst out laughing.

Seeing this, Xu He was already vigilant in his heart.

This Jiang Yi, as he said, really doesn't look a little drunk, and his style is just to excuse himself by being drunk and formless!

And what he said was clearly carefully planned.

He first pointed out Xu Song's background, and then said that he was still a princess, and finally came to the conclusion, there is no one in your eyes!

I didn't go to the party in the same year before, which is the proof.

Others are already jealous of Xu He's current identity, and with such a flirtation, Xu He's official voice will soon become arrogant, relying on the background of the cabinet minister and the identity of the concubine, and looking down on the villain of his colleagues.

If you are in a circle, you can not be in the circle, but you must not let the people in the circle think that you are not good in character and look down on them.

In this way, other people are arm helpers in the same year, and they are enemies in the same year, how can this be done?

He was still thinking about how to deal with this matter and save his reputation, but at this time Zhang Tengxiao came forward and said: "Jiang Yi, if you drink, you will drink, don't get drunk and talk nonsense!" Whoever he is at the table, bring him back! ”

Cao Shu, who was in charge of teaching Shu Jishi on weekdays, also stood up and said, "Jiang Benkui, you come back for me!" ”

Jiang Yu naturally didn't dare to contradict Cao Shu, so he pretended to be sober, bowed to Xu He and Xie Liangcai, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I drank a little too much just now, and I said some drunken words, don't take it to heart!" ”

After saying that, the hippie went back with a smile on his face.

As soon as he left, even if Xu He wanted to reverse the unfavorable comments on him, he had no one to talk to, and at this moment it was like a punch on the cotton, which was extremely uncomfortable.

What was even more aggrieved was Xie Liangcai, who was pointed at his nose and scolded, saying that he was close to King Qi by relying on his father's relationship.

King Qi? He didn't want to deal with it at all.

Now the yellow mud has fallen into the crotch of his pants, and it's not but is.

The most disgusting thing is that he can't justify anything yet.

Because once he justifies himself, he will offend the king of Qi.

King Qi is no longer treated by himself, but he is also a prince, and he is also the person most likely to become the successor of the empire, and no one wants to offend unless he has to.

Therefore, Jiang Yu is just a joke on the surface, but in fact, it has a great impact on the future situation of Xu He and Xie Liangcai.

Just as Xu He was thinking about how to reverse this situation, the second wave of [attacks] began again.

I only heard a familiar voice suddenly say: "Liangsheng, everyone knows that you have the talent of warp and weft, and now the country is at the time of employing people, and it is also an opportunity for us to show our strengths!" But why are you still a princess? ”

"Of course, you and the princess are in love, and heaven is a good match, but at this time, I miss the glory and wealth, and I don't want to serve the court, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that you have lost your talent!"

The person who spoke was Tanhua Gao Peng, who had been at odds with Xu He.

On the surface, this sentence is a sigh that Xu He is still a princess, and there is a high probability that he can only take the road of luck, rather than the road of traditional scholars.

But in fact, he secretly poked and poked at Xu He's backbone and scolded him, greedy for power and not enterprising.

When Xu He heard this, he couldn't hold back any longer, he ignored Zhang Tengxiao's pull, stood up and turned his head to look at Gao Peng and said, "Brother Runan, you said it's really strange." The master invited you to dinner, and not only were you not grateful, but what was the reason for all kinds of ridicule? ”

Gao Peng pretended to be surprised and said, "Mockery? Loud, you misunderstood! ”

Xu He sneered: "Who doesn't know that you and Jiang Yi are both the same year and fellow villagers, so good that you can't wear a pair of pants......"

"Hahaha!" Laughter comes from all around.

Jiang Yi got up angrily and scolded: "Xu Liangsheng, you have no virtue in your mouth. ”

"I have no virtue in my mouth? One moment you say that I am greedy for the powerful, and the other time you say that I am not social, and you secretly accuse me of all kinds of things, and I want to ask you in front of you today......"

"Why and where did I, Xu He, disrespect anyone, including you Gao Peng and Jiang Yi?"

"Let me ask you again, when you see it in the same year, if you are invited, you must go, if you have food, you must listen to music, and if you have prostitutes, you will be gregarious?"

Everyone was stunned.

"Many people think that when they become officials, they can do whatever they want; Many people think that when they become officials, they can be lustful. ”

"Xu is not talented, I dare not agree, should more time be wasted on the wine table?"

"Shouldn't we focus on continuing to study and study, understand the affairs of the imperial court, learn how to govern the local government, and appease the people?"

Gao Peng sneered when he heard this, and said to the people around him: "I am used to talking big, and I haven't seen him Xu He give advice to the imperial court!" ”

His voice was small, but it was extremely harsh at the moment.

When many people heard this, they laughed with the mentality that they didn't care about themselves and watched the excitement.

Seeing this, Gu Shouyuan gritted his teeth and wanted to go out.

But at this moment, suddenly Zhang Lan, a bachelor's student, walked in from outside.

He just came, and he didn't know what was going on, but he smiled at Xu He and said, "Loud, the old man wants to congratulate you!" ”

Xu He was confused and said: "Bachelor, how can you ......?"

Zhang Lan faced everyone: "The imperial court has just issued an order, and the emperor has promoted Xu He to be a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, and the Department of Economics and Economics will wash the horses!" ”

"Ah......h

Everyone let out a cry of amazement in unison, looking at Xu He's eyes full of jealousy and envy!
