Luo Pei returned to the cabin, uncertain, the governor was fine, and he also had a lot of official business, and he would be separated at a banquet tomorrow.

And he is full of trouble.

"If you are in the astrological direction, how can the emperor send me down?"

"Su Ziji is also in big trouble, what does the King of Shu think of me?"

Thinking about the journey to the capital, the emperor was destined to return to Beijing as soon as possible, of course he did not dare to delay, until Zhang Sui asked to see, Luo Pei came to his senses and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Master Su made some suggestions, the first is to dress, tomorrow's banquet, is it not to wear official clothes, they are all casual clothes, it is more relaxed?"

Luo Pei immediately understood, indeed, Su Ziji's identity was embarrassing now, and he immediately said: "I should have something important, of course, I just said it, anyway, the dust washing banquet has already been eaten." ”

Seeing that Zhang Sui listened respectfully, he hadn't left yet, and asked again, "What's the matter?"

"Master Su said, I don't understand the etiquette system taught before, can I make a lot of money at the banquet and use it as a questionnaire?"

Luo Pei didn't understand at first, but only after talking about it did he understand that he wanted to have a discussion meeting to let Su Ziji absorb more knowledge and nutrition, although he was a little disapproving, he still bowed his head: "This is a trivial matter, you can!"

Then the lower official went to reply. Zhang Sui said respectfully and retreated.

Looking at his disappearing back, Luo Pei's expression turned pale and frowned.

This kind of petty official, has he also been flattered in the past?

The next day's and night's dinner

At this moment, the sky was beautiful, although the crimson clouds were getting heavier and heavier, but it did not rain, and the banquet was held as scheduled, not in a restaurant in the city, but in a house on the other side.

This is a local noble garden, usually only a few old servants to watch the house, and do not use it much, at this time temporary requisition, the owner of the house is happy, but also save the Qin cha to run, it is convenient for everyone.

The open space in front of the house was very spacious, and it was used to park the ox carts of officials from the city, and before the banquet, hundreds of ox carts had been parked.

Su Ziji didn't make any tricks, he came directly after only a few steps, and he didn't have to enter the hall with a glance, as long as he got to the door, he could see that the lights inside were bright and properly tidied up.

Although it is autumn now, it is a little cold, but it is obviously not big to have a banquet for hundreds of officials at once, and only a banquet is set up in the hall.

The whole courtyard floor is rested, it looks flat and clean, and a colorful shed is temporarily erected, and there are tables and chairs in the shed, although the food has not yet been served, but some fruit snacks have been placed on the table.

The lantern oil lamps are also lit, and the bright lights illuminate the inside and outside, and the aroma of wine and food continues to come out, and the fragrance makes people hungry to bub out.

A few people in official uniforms were constantly patrolling, and the officers and soldiers standing guard and patrolling were no less than the main courtyard, and both the Qincha and the governor would attend the banquet, and the meal was tampered with, and if something went wrong, it was a big deal.

When they entered, they listened to people's voices, drank tea, whispered, coughed, yawned, and laughed...... Everything.

I heard someone whisper: "It's right for Qin to send back, it's been half a year since he came out, and this Su Zi has been in office for less than half a year, and then he was recalled, what is the reason?"

"Yes, it's very strange, he is the champion of this year, and the champion was awarded the Hanlin Academy for revision, which is very normal. ”

"If you don't study history, you don't watch politics in the Hanlin Academy, and you directly become a county minister, isn't it degraded? I thought that there was a crime against the saint, and I didn't want to be urgently recalled to Beijing, I don't understand. ”

Su Ziji didn't expect that there would be people talking about himself here and now, looking at it, there was a little darkness in the color shed, and there were more than a dozen people drinking tea and talking, and before he wanted to speak, someone shouted: "Lord Qincha has arrived." ”

There was silence, Su Ziji saw that Luo Pei had already come, and suddenly the officials got up to greet him and saluted together: "Congratulations to Sheng'an!"

"Holy bow!" Luo Pei replied expressionlessly, as if he accepted this gift on behalf of the emperor, and then the atmosphere relaxed.

Luo Pei represents the emperor, sitting in the most central position, the governor sits at the first table on the right, and next to him sits a local nobleman, who is also the owner of this mansion.

Su Ziji's position is at the first table on the left, and sitting next to Su Ziji is the prefect Liu.

Seeing this position, the officials all looked at each other.

"That's not right, is it?"

"This Su Zi is from Master Su, even if he is the champion, but his position is only six grades, how can he sit first on the left?"

“...... I heard that he sat according to the observation envoy, half of the chincha. ”

"Oh!"

That's understandable.

"It seems that he is really a young man, and he doesn't want to be here. ”

Su Ziji wore a wooden crown, wore a moon-white large-sleeved shirt, with big sleeves, stepping on high teeth, just sitting, and not speaking attracted the attention of the people present.

Although Luo Pei sat in the center and smiled, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were depressed, and he seemed to be worried about returning to Beijing.

Governor Zhao had nothing to do, and chatted with Xungui in a low voice, a team of dancing girls came up at this time, Xungui suddenly got up, and said to Luo Pei, who was sitting in the center: "Lord Qincha, this is the dancing girl raised in my house, today's wine banquet, there is wine and no dancing, but it is not beautiful, why don't you invite them to come and cheer for your lords?"

Luo Pei had no opinion on this, and nodded: "It's the official's negligence, and the adult's proposal is just right." ”

The musicians who were with the dancing girl were instructed to play, and the sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and with the music, the atmosphere of the banquet changed from a little tense to much more relaxed.

I saw more than a dozen dancing girls stretching their bodies in the open space, dancing with the music or brisk or soothing, even in the autumn night, their clothes were thin, and some were barefoot, like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, and like flowers blooming with sadness, which caused some people to feel pity.

But there are also many people who only look at it a few times and then withdraw their gaze.

Although this is a place where Xungui deliberately raised in the mansion and has an outstanding dancing style, he can come here for a banquet, and the worst is a seven-rank official, and he is not far from enjoying it in this regard.

Lord He couldn't help but look at the young man sitting opposite, and found that this young man, who was said to have grown up in a folk family, was also very calm and calm, without the slightest attitude of never seeing the world.

Thinking of this son's extraordinary talent, he won the top prize in this year's examination, and some poems flowed out, and many people applauded.

With such talent and such a bearing, he is worthy of being called the third son of Beijing.

"This is an ancient girl group. ”

Speaking of reality, as soon as Su Ziji saw them, he thought like this, they were too similar.

A group of several people, who have cultivated singing and dancing since childhood, performed externally, and their clothes are thin, except that they are only open to guests and not open to the public, everything else is exactly the same.

"Who said that there were no entertainment ideas in ancient times? What can be thought of in modern times, can also be thought in ancient times. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen. Just thinking about it, everyone was drinking, and when they heard the speech of the Qin Cha in the top position, they all hurriedly looked over.

I heard Luo Pei say: "We are all officials in the court, there is only wine or singing and dancing at this banquet, some ordinary, it is better for us to play something else, you adults to the topic of etiquette, to discuss, who can come out on top, can get a lottery." ”

"I can also guide the juniors!"

Su Ziji suddenly perked up and thought to himself, "It's finally here." ”
