Li Wei responded with his head bowed, glanced at everyone again, and asked suspiciously: "Huang Zai is not with you?" ”

When Wu Bozong heard this, he glanced at each other, and his face was a little ugly.

Wang Jie smiled awkwardly and explained to him: "Huang Zai was transferred to the Ministry of War, and Lord Zhao, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is ...... with you."

He didn't finish his words, but Li Wei also understood, and his face couldn't help but sink slightly.

He has a bad relationship with Zhao Ben, and it is understandable that Huang Zai fell to his boss in the yamen, but Ruan Jian of the Ministry of Officials has a bad relationship with him, and Wu Bozong also came normally, and he also brought a waiter.

"Hey, if you don't come, don't come, everyone please come in."

Li Wei was a little unhappy in his heart, he didn't want to socialize with people because of this kind of thing, he made friends with sincerity, but most of the others measured the gains and losses, and sometimes you will encounter this kind of situation where you think the relationship is good, but people don't take you seriously at all.

Wu Bozong and the others arched their hands, didn't say anything more, and stepped into the mansion.

After a while, Han Yike and Dao Tong came hand in hand, and Li Wei also warmly welcomed them into the house.

Although these two are too straightforward and often sell their teammates, he can't say that others are at fault.

After that, Sun Jian and Lu Ti also came, and respectfully saluted him, Sun Jian was the head of the Ordnance Bureau, although he was higher than Lu Ti's official position, but he knew that Lu Ti was more common sense by Lord Shilang, so he didn't put up a fight, and he got along well with Lu Ti.

Moreover, Li Wei personally intervened in the affairs of the Ordnance Bureau, and he usually didn't care about it.

In addition to Lu Ti, several stewards of the Ordnance Bureau also came over, and Li Wei did not ignore these people because they were not in the ranks.

Shen Jue and Feng An of the Appreciation Division, and Shen Jing of the bank also came one after another, and Shen Jing also brought a few relatively large businessmen.

In the end, Xue Xiangcai and Ru Taisu were late.

Li Wei was a little displeased: "Why are you here so late?" ”

This old man, when he agreed, was very positive, but when he came, he didn't appear until the finale, which is really annoying.

In fact, he waited at the door mainly to greet him, an old man, after all, he was old, had a high status, and loved to compete......

In short, he is waiting for Xue Xiang, and it doesn't matter if he sends someone to greet the others, no one dares to provoke him with his identity.

Xue Xiang was not angry in the face of his questioning, and said with a smile: "I'm old, and my legs and feet are not as sharp as your young people!" ”

Li Wei pursed his lips, and then saw Ru Taisu behind him, and pretended to be surprised: "Lord Ru? Aren't you not coming? ”

"Humph!" Ru Taisu snorted and ignored it.

"Look at you, if you want to come, you won't say it sooner, I haven't prepared dishes and chopsticks for you, really!" Li Wei said with a look of embarrassment.

"You, you, you......"

Ru Taisu suddenly blew his beard and glared again.

"Hehe, ignore him, you use mine." Xue Xiang interrupted with a smile, and after speaking, he walked into Li Wei's mansion, and Ru Taisu flicked his sleeves to follow.

Li Wei smiled, in fact, he was just joking, don't say that he prepared it, even if he really didn't prepare a pair of dishes and chopsticks to add a seat, it was very simple.

Just as Li Wei turned around and was about to go in together, a familiar voice suddenly stopped him.

"Master Li!" Fang Xiaoru shouted from afar.

Li Wei looked back and saw that it was him, and was stunned: "Teacher Fang? What are you doing here? ”

Fang Xiaoru, who had just walked in front of him, suddenly turned dark: "It's the invitation you sent to me!" ”

"Uh, really? That could be the wrong delivery. Li Wei said embarrassedly.

Fang Xiaoru: "......"

"Look at you, come on, why are you still empty-handed? How embarrassing is that? ”

Li Wei looked left and right at Fang Xiaoru, and saw that he was empty-handed, and said with some regret.

Fang Xiaoru's face did not change, he was not embarrassed at all, he had endured so much suffering and torture in the academy, and he had long had a strong immunity to Li Wei's sword selling methods.

But Li Wei was wrong this time, he really brought something.

I saw Fang Xiaoru calmly take out a thick book from his sleeve, throw it to him with a bad face, and then turn around and walk in by himself.

Li Wei's face was stunned, and he hurriedly took the gift.

I saw that the weight of this book was quite heavy, and when I opened it, it was actually the kind of dictionary he asked Fang Xiaoru to compile before!

And the dictionary is much more than the thousands of common words he copied from his computer.

"Yes, Xiaofang, your work attitude is worthy of recognition, go back and add chicken legs to you!"

Li Wei flipped through the dictionary as he walked inside.

In the front yard of the Horse Mansion, there are six or seven tables densely arranged, and there is a special vacant space in the middle for the Teaching Workshop Division to perform singing and dancing, which he specially asked Feng Jingchun to arrange, of course, the reward will not be less, and it can be regarded as taking care of the business of the Teaching Workshop Division.

Fortunately, the place of the Horse Mansion is big enough, and the small courtyard before him really can't open this big field.

"Master Li!"

When they saw him come in, they got up and bowed their hands.

Li Wei raised his head and bowed back: "Everyone sit, don't be so polite." ”

When everyone heard this, they all sat down, and Li Wei also came to Wu Bozong's table and sat down.

Whether it is Zhu Yuanzhang's banquet or someone else's invitation, when arranging the seats, the seats are generally arranged in terms of status and official rank, although there are also divisions, but they will never let Shangshu and ordinary directors sit together.

However, Li Wei was completely divided according to the department, except for Xue Xiangru and Taisu, who were at the same table with him and Wu Bozong, the other people, regardless of their official rank, rank, status, and status, were all arranged together in the same yamen.

Some higher-ranking officials, although they were a little unhappy in their hearts, did not dare to refute his face.

After Li Wei sat down, Feng Jingchun bowed to the side and asked softly, "My lord, are you going to start?" ”

"Well, let's get started." Li Wei nodded.

Feng Jingchun took the order to go down to make arrangements, and after a while, the musicians of the Teaching Workshop Division played musical instruments, and the young ladies and sisters also walked into the arena with small pieces and danced.

However, these songs and dances are much more conservative, not only are they worn more, but the colors and styles of clothes are also relatively monotonous.

When the wine and food came up, everyone looked at Li Wei, and when he started with the wine, Li Wei didn't go through this kind of thing, he didn't notice it at first, but Xue Xiang reminded him before he hurriedly got up and raised his glass.

"The ......"

Li Wei imagined in his mind the opening remarks of the leader when he invited guests, and then the exit was Uncle Zhao's classic quotation: "Everyone eat and drink well!" ”

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and it took a moment to react:

"Thank you, Master Ma!"

"Master Xie Li!"

Li Wei smiled, raised his glass and did it first, and the others followed.

After a drink, everyone sat down again.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the dishes also talked to each other, and Li Wei also talked to Wu Bozong and others in a low voice.

"Why did Chen Jing and Gao Xin follow you to me?"

They are all acquaintances, and Li Wei didn't hide it, so he asked if he didn't understand.

When Wu Bozong heard him ask, he was stunned and said, "Master Li doesn't know? ”

Li Wei shook his head slightly, indicating that he was completely unaware.

Wu Bozong and the others were suddenly a little surprised, looked at each other, and didn't know how to explain to him.

Or Xue Xiang smiled and said, "You don't even understand this?" ”

Li Wei looked dazed: "Should I know?" ”

Xue Xiang glanced at him, thought about it, raised his hand and pointed at Ru Taisu and said, "Look at him." ”

Li Wei followed his fingers and looked at Ru Taisu, only to see that Ru Taisu was eating Haisai nonsense at this time, his mouth was full of oil, and he looked like he was going to eat him bankrupt, and he was suddenly shocked and shouted:

"Oh, Lord Ru, don't just eat meat, be careful of choking! Come on, quickly serve two bowls of rice to Lord Ru! ”

"Ahem......"

Ru Taisu suddenly stagnated, almost choking.

He is an honest official, and his life at home is not easy, Li Wei's dishes here are not only good things, but also taste a hundred times stronger than Guanglu Temple, which naturally makes him feel appetizing.

Xue Xiang smiled helplessly and continued, "Do you think about how Lord Ru was promoted to Shangshu? ”

"I recommended it?" Li Wei withdrew his gaze from Ru Taisu and looked at Xue Xiang with some doubts.

Xue Xiang nodded lightly: "Now you understand, right?" (End of chapter)
