Chapter 055: A Good News and a Bad News
The lobby furnishings in the building have all been emptied, replaced by rows of tables and stools.
Fifteen square tables are placed in a row, and the stools are benches, and everyone only needs to squeeze a little, and a row of tables can accommodate hundreds of people.
There are four rows of tables in the lobby, and there is a mezzale in the middle for the dancing girls to perform.
Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, looked around in surprise: "I didn't expect the inside of the Qinglou to be so big. ”
The right attendant of the Ministry of Rites snorted lightly: "Can the largest small pavilion in the capital be big?" ”
He heard that the contouring prince spent a million taels of silver when he bought this place, and this was only the money for the land.
The reason why it is so expensive is because this is the inner city, and it is the most prosperous and lively area in the capital, with many passenger flows and naturally many customers.
The bustard arranged seats for them, and she arranged the low-ranking officials in the lobby, and then the middle-ranking officials in the upstairs, and the rest of the officials in the backyard.
In the backyard there was a building where the young men stayed overnight, and she arranged the officials in the rooms where the young men lived, and as long as the door was opened, she could see the singers dancing in the courtyard.
The Ministry of Rites snorted lightly: "The arrangement is really thoughtful." ”
Fortunately, the people in the laughing floor were all dressed properly and didn't do anything out of the ordinary, so he could barely stay here.
"Adults want to come as guests, so you need to eat well and have a good time."
The old bustard withdrew from the room and immediately asked someone to serve wine and food, and then said to Mu Nanjin: "Girl, you still have a way to invite so many adults to come to us and be guests in the building." In the future, no one will underestimate us. ”
Mu Nanjin instructed: "There are so many horses outside, you can find someone to take care of it, but don't make a mess after eating." ”
"Rest assured, girl, the people in the building will tie them up, and I have specially found a few people to stay there to feed the horses."
The bustard is a careful person, and these little things must be arranged properly.
"Also, you inform the bosses of the other two floors, and in the future, Lord Zhou, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, will come to our Qinglou every month to have fun, and the money will be exempted once."
Mu Nanjin explained the good things and went to accompany Kan Chaoyan and them to dinner.
"Wooden girl, you came just in time, come and sit next to me."
Kan Chaoyan beckoned Mu Nanjin to sit beside him, and then put a glass of wine in front of her.
Mu Nanjin frowned lightly: "I don't drink." ”
It's not that I haven't drunk alcohol, and I usually only take a few sips and don't continue to drink more.
Kan Chaoyan's smile is even bigger, it's better not to drink.
"If you don't drink, you have to drink, but you have to work with our group of big men, how can you not drink? You're right? ”
He pushed the wine glass: "You taste it first." ”
Mu Nanjin took a sip.
"How's it taste?"
"Okay."
Kan Chaoyan stood up: "Come, everyone toast the wooden girl and thank her for inviting us to dinner today." ”
Deng Xingchao and the other thousands of households all picked up their wine glasses and stood up: "Mu Nanjin, we respect you." ”
Mu Nanjin clinked glasses with them.
Kan Chaoyan immediately said: "You have to do it all at once." ”
Mu Nanjin drank it in one gulp.
"Congratulations on becoming the first female official in the dynasty, it is not easy for a woman to be an official, and now the emperor has not implemented this matter, you must cherish this hard-won official position."
Kan Chaoyan poured her full wine: "We respect you again for becoming a female official." ”
Mu Nanjin said: "Isn't there also a female official in the harem? ”
"They can only do things in the harem but can't do politics, but you are different, if you are promoted, you can discuss with the emperor in the Taijin Palace with the Ministry of Rites, this is the real official."
"Oh."
"Come, we'll toast you again."
Mu Nanjin raised his glass again and did it all.
Kan Chaoyan poured her wine glass full of wine again: "The third glass of wine is to wish you to rise step by step in the days to come." ”
Mu Nanjin: "......"
[That's not necessary, right?] I just want to lie down and live a life, I don't want to be tired like a dog, and I don't want to be as bald as the Ministry of Rites and Shangshu before I am middle-aged. 】
The Rite Department Scholar next door, etc.: "......"
Kan Chaoyan couldn't help but smile: "Hurry up, have another drink." ”
Mu Nanjin drank another glass of wine.
Kan Chaoyan glanced at her face.
Didn't you say not to drink? Why don't you blush after three cups?
Could it be that he is a person who does not blush when he drinks?
Kan Chaoyan glanced at Deng Xingchao.
Deng Xingchao understood, picked up the wine glass and said to Mu Nanjin: "Mu Nanjin, thank you for coming to our right courtyard to help these days, I respect you for this cup." ”
"No thanks."
Mu Nanjin drank another glass of wine.
Deng Xingchao quietly kicked Chen Liangli who was sitting beside him.
Chen Liangli stood up: "Mu Nanjin, we are very happy to work with you, I toast you." ”
[Happy? How do I see that you have a lot of black faces. 】
Chen Liangli: "......"
That's not because you're angry that you blackface.
After Mu Nanjin drank the wine, Jiang Buzhi also picked up the wine glass: "Mu Nanjin, you are like my little sister, I will toast you." ”
Mu Nanjin: "......"
[When a man wants to drink, he can really have any excuse. 】
Tang Jingrui watched Mu Nanjin drink several glasses in a row, and couldn't help asking, "Mu Nanjin, are you okay?" ”
Mu Nanjin looked at him puzzled: "Okay, why is it bad?" ”
"You're not dizzy?"
"Don't get dizzy."
Tang Jingrui: "......"
Kan Chaoyan kicked Tang Jingrui under the table and said with a smile: "Jingrui, shouldn't you also give your cousin a drink?" ”
Chen Liangli coaxed: "Yes, we all respect her, why should you give her a drink." ”
Tang Jingrui was forced by everyone's eyes to toast Mu Nanjin with a hard head.
Jiang Buzhi said again: "Mu Nanjin, if Tang Jingrui hadn't received you into the Jinyi Guard, you wouldn't be a female official, and if you weren't a female official, you wouldn't have had the opportunity to know us, do you think you should give him three cups to express your gratitude?" ”
Mu Nanjin felt that it made sense, and immediately picked up the wine glass to toast Tang Jingrui three glasses.
The other four thousand households present also made excuses to toast Mu Nanjin.
However, after more than ten cups, the whole person is still very energetic, and the people here really can't find an excuse to pour her.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Liu Baihu to bring people over, and then thousands of brocade guards lined up to toast.
The strange thing is that after Mu Nanjin had a few hundred cups of stomach, not to mention drunk, he didn't even have an urgency to urinate.
It wasn't until a thousand cups that she suddenly stood up and said, "I haven't toasted them yet." ”
Mu Nanjin took the wine glass and the wine jug to the next room.
Deng Xingchao saw her steady pace and wondered: "I've drunk so much, why isn't she drunk?" ”
Chen Liangli snorted: "It's all Liu Baihu's crow's mouth." ”
Kan Chaoyan touched his chin: "She may be drunk, but we can't see it, some people are drunk and there is no difference between them and usual, Mu Nanjin should be such a person." ”
Deng Xingchao was curious: "Why do you think she is drunk?" ”
"Taking the initiative to run to toast the people in the Ministry of Rites is not what she does on weekdays."
Deng Xingchao heard him say this, it seemed quite reasonable.
In the next room, Mu Nanjin raised his glass: "I salute the adults of the department with a glass." ”
The man from the Ministry of Rites reluctantly picked up the cup.
They were glad to be invited to dinner, but it was a bad feeling to be threatened.
After Mu Nanjin drank a glass of wine, he said to them: "I have good news and bad news for you, which one do you listen to first?" ”
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu didn't want her to hang their appetite, so he said angrily: "You can say whichever you want." ”
"That is, to say the good news first, you ......" Mu Nanjin pointed at them: "I was poisoned by the 'five princes' of the Kingdom of David." ”
"What!?"
They were scared half to death, and the chopsticks and wine glasses in their hands were unstable.
Kan Chaoyan next door asked Deng Xingchao, who was stunned, "Didn't you find that the people from the Ministry of Rites were tricked?" ”
Deng Xingchao had a bitter face: "Where can I see so many people alone, I can't follow them all the time, and the 'Five Princes' is still a drug sect disguised, he wants to start, and he can avoid my eyes at any time." ”
Kan Chaoyan pointed to the next door: "You didn't hear her say this in her heart." ”
Deng Xingchao was even more depressed: "She has been thinking about Lord Zhou for the past few days, and she hasn't said anything else at all. ”
Kan Chaoyan: "......"
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu next door was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
"We have all been tricked, and you still say good news, Mu Nanjin, what do you mean?"
Mu Nanjin took a sip of wine: "Isn't it good news that you are not dead now?" ”
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu's face was particularly ugly as if he had eaten.
The right attendant of the Ministry of Rites was very afraid: "Then aren't we about to die." ”
Mu Nanjin walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "With me, you can't die." ”
Ritual Minister: "......"
That's a good thing indeed.
The right attendant of the Ministry of Rites breathed a sigh of relief: "What's the bad news?" ”
"Lord Zhou asked the adults of the Imperial Court to have dinner when someone heard that I invited you to dinner, and when they learned that I was here with you, they sent someone to kill me. I don't want to move now, my safety depends on you. ”
Mu Nanjin suddenly felt that his whole body was soft, and he didn't want to move, so he sat down on the chair behind him.
The right attendant of the Ministry of Rites: "......"
The adults of Dali Temple and Duchayuan who came with them tonight are all his friends, and they are also people who often visit the Qinglou with him, so when he asked them, he did not hesitate to say that it was Mu Nanjin who invited them to dinner.
The person with a heart was afraid that he only thought that they were the only ones who had dinner with Mu Nanjin, but he didn't expect Mu Nanjin to call so many brocade guards.
The ceremonial member Wailang said urgently: "Where can we stop it?" ”
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu took a sip of wine very calmly: "Why are you in a hurry with so many brocade guards here?" We can't stop them, and they do. ”
"yes." Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, sat back on the chair very calmly and continued to eat: "The food here is still good. ”
Kan Chaoyan next door said to Tang Jingrui: "Tell me to go down and let everyone be on guard." ”
"Yes."
Tang Jingrui left the room.
Deng Xingchao stood up: "That girl must be drunk, otherwise she wouldn't have said so many things, I'll bring her over for questioning." ”
Kan Chaoyan did not block it.
Deng Xingchao walked next door and politely flipped through the people in the Ministry of Rites, and then brought Mu Nanjin back.
Kan Chaoyan asked with a smile: "Mu girl, are you drunk?" ”
"Nope." Mu Nanjin's serious and cold appearance is really coaxing, people who don't know really think that she is not drunk, but if you look closely, you will find that her eyes are a little confused.
"Sit down, let's have a few more drinks."
Kan Chaoyan still felt that Mu Nanjin was too sober, and let her drink several glasses of wine, and when it was almost time, he put down the cup and asked tentatively: "Mu girl, I see that you are good at kung fu, who did you learn from?" ”
"Who did I learn from?" Mu Nanjin held his head and thought for a long time: "Who did I learn from?" Have I studied Kung Fu? I haven't studied kung fu, have I? I've only studied swordsmanship. ”
Everyone: "......"
Deng Xingchao whispered: "You have overdone it, you see that she is stupid." ”
Kan Chaoyan: "......"
He wasn't worried that she was still awake before he poured a few more glasses.
Kan Chaoyan asked again: "Who taught your swordsmanship?" ”
Mu Nanjin shook his head: "No one taught me, I taught myself." ”
Deng Xingchao said angrily: "Fart, can self-study be so powerful?" ”
"I learned it from cheats." Mu Nanjin retorted unhappily: "You don't believe me, I don't want to talk to you." ”
She leaned on the table and played with the chopsticks on the table.
Deng Xingchao: "......"
"Of course we believe what you say." Kan Chaoyan tried to ask again: "Mu girl, how do you know so many things?" ”
Mu Nanjin tilted his head to look at him: "What do you know?" ”
Kan Chaoyan pointed at Deng Xingchao: "For example, how do you know that he is afraid of his wife?" ”
Deng Xingchao said unhappily: "You don't ask about so many things, but you just talk about my affairs." ”
"Not only do I know that he is afraid of his wife, but I also know ......"
Although Mu Nanjin was drunk, his usual habits had not changed, and he immediately turned out the gossip of the system: "I still know about the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, do you want to listen to it?" ”
"To... cough ......" Kan Chaoyan was almost diverted by her: "You better tell me how you know first." ”
Mu Nanjin ignored his words and continued: "The imperial envoy of the Zuodu of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court has a person who he has liked since he was a child, and that is the virtuous concubine in the imperial palace. ”
Chen Liangli's eyes widened: "Really? ”
"And ......"
Mu Nanjin suddenly felt a little dizzy, and the people in front of her kept dangling in front of her, and one person turned into two people.
She shook her head and held her chin with her hands.
"What else? You're talking about it. ”
Mu Nanjin closed her eyes, although she didn't finish speaking, but her heart came out again.
[The Holy Prince knew that the Zuodu Imperial Envoy liked the virtuous concubine, so he promised him that after the rebellion was successful, the virtuous concubine would be married to him as a wife, and he was moved, so he agreed to be the holy prince's lackey. 】
Yushi, who was eating downstairs, heard Mu Nanjin's heart, and his chopsticks shook and fell on the table.
Dali Siqing comforted him: "She said the imperial envoy of Zuodu, not you, what are you afraid of?" ”
"I usually get close to the imperial envoy of Zuodu, and I'm afraid that the emperor will think I'm in a group with him."
"That's pretty serious." Dali Siqing thought for a while: "From tomorrow, you should try to stay away from him." ”
"That's all there is to it."
Upstairs, Mu Nanjin finished talking about the Zuodu envoy, and then began to talk about the next person.
[Hee-hee, I'll tell you about Kan Chaoyan'......]
Kan Chaoyan heard that she was going to mention herself, and hurriedly shook Mu Nanjin: "Stop, stop, don't think about it anymore." ”
Deng Xingchao pushed him away with a smile: "Let her continue to think, I want to know what is ugly about you." ”
"......" Kan Chaoyan called Mu Nanjin loudly: "Mu girl, you wake me up." ”
However, Mu Nanjin had already fainted.
