The state pastoral yamen is located in the center of Hangzhou, the yamen covers a very large area, divided into the front and back of the yamen, the front of the yamen is the office, many state officials also work in the front ya.

The back office is the living area of the state pastor, and there is a team of officials on duty in front of the door, and there is a Dengwen drum on one side.

A guard of the Ningguo Mansion got the order of the little sister of the Li family, and came to the yamen with an invitation card and a horse.

"What people. The official on duty was a little lazy, but when he saw this, he was shocked, and he pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife and shouted.

"I am the guard of the Ningguo Gong Courtyard, and I am invited by Miss Seoul to the Courtyard for a banquet. The guards of the Ningguo Mansion hurriedly dismounted and bent over, and sent invitations.

The head of the official softened his face, stretched out his hand to take the invitation, and said politely: "Brother, wait a minute, I'll go to see Lord Zhoumu." ”

"There is labor. The guards of the Ningguo Mansion thanked him.

Of course, Wuzhou Prefecture Mu Gao Yimin does not say that anyone who wants to see it can see it, and the Ningguo Mansion is a special case. Who called Li Qianning to be monstrous.

The official held the invitation card and went straight to the back office.

Gao Yimin is in the study, messing with the beautiful concubine. In front of the desk, Gao Yimin was dressed in white, holding a beautiful concubine in a green dress, the beautiful concubine was holding a pen in her hand, Gao Yimin held the hand of the beautiful concubine, bent down, and wrote on the paper.

Dancing and writing is a literati's pastime, but it is clear that Gao Yimin is not interested in this.

At that moment, the footsteps of the servant sounded and landed outside the study. Seeing the scene in the study, he lowered his head and said, "Lord Zhou Mu, Miss Li of the Ningguo Mansion is invited." ”

Gao Yimin was a little disappointed, put down the concubine's hand and waved her hand to let her go down. Then he called the official to come in, and the official handed the invitation to Gao Yimin, who took the invitation and sat on a chair to read.

The little sister of the Li family wrote very simply on the invitation, inviting Gao Yimin, Jiang Beifeng, Li Shuangnian and several generals from Hangzhou to go to the other courtyard for a banquet and thank you for your support that night.

"It seems to be just a feast. Gao Yimin closed the invitation and thought to himself.

At present, Zhang Baigong in the court holds the power of life and death, and wantonly kills loyal ministers, but the power of the court is still divided.

Zhang Baigong's party does not need to be mentioned, there are still a clan party, a meritorious party, a neutral party, and a loyal minister faction that was hidden because of the fear of being killed by Zhang Baigong.

Gao Yimin was an old minister of the former emperor, but belonged to a neutral faction. His martial arts are not the highest in Hangzhou, or even the bottom, but he has done a good job of appeasing all forces and making Wuzhou stable.

Official voices are also available.

Belong to the people who are to be wooed by all parties.

With this kind of identity, Gao Yimin naturally thinks more, and he must not take sides of any side. If the little sister of the Li family specially invited him to the banquet alone, he had to shirk it.

lest it be true.

But when everyone goes together, it's much more casual.

"Prepare a sedan chair and go to the Ningguo Gongbei Courtyard for a banquet. After thinking about it for a while, Gao Yimin put down the invitation and said to the officer.

"Yes. The official went down and got ready. Not long after, Gao Yimin came to the gate of the courtyard in a sedan chair, and before him, many people had come, and there were many house slaves leading horses outside the door, and the master had already followed.

To be precise, Gao Yimin was the last to arrive, and after he got off the sedan chair, he was introduced into the lobby by Su Shuang, the chief manager of the other hospital. In the lobby, the banquet has been set up.

Including Gao Yimin, Jiang Beifeng, Li Shuangnian and the other five court generals have all taken their seats, although the little sister of the Li family is a woman, but because she is the master of this child, she sat on the main seat, and Zhang Ning sat beside him.

"I beg your pardon for being too late. Seeing that Gao Yimin was coming, everyone present stood up to greet him, Gao Yimin was very apologetic, and the Quartet arched his hand.

"Lord Gao's verbal forgiveness is not successful, and he should be punished with a glass of wine. As the owner, the little sister of the Li family was very refreshing and said with a smile.

"Three cups, three drinks. Gao Yimin said with a smile.

Immediately, Gao Yimin sat down and punished himself with three cups according to his words. As the master, the little sister of the Li family is really atmospheric, eating and drinking with all the court officials, and she does not fall behind.

is very different from the image of a jealous little sister all day long.

After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere comes out. The court officials present were all familiar with each other, and many of them participated in such a banquet, laughing and laughing.

There is no need for the little sister of the Li family to set off the atmosphere more.

And Zhang Ning was a little eye-catching, and he also toasted to the court officials present one by one, but he didn't say much after that. It looks like an elm pimple.

But this person is really dazzling, and he dare not be ignored.

This is a nameless person, a person who can make everyone present go to the Yin Si to see Yan Jun with a knife.

The people present were even more intelligent people, because they knew that if it was just an ordinary thank-you feast, they would not invite the nameless to sit with them.

First, Nameless is not from the Ningguo Mansion, and secondly, Nameless was quite cold when they met that night. But at this moment, Nameless is sitting at the banquet, I'm afraid there are some reasons.

Maybe the banquet is a pretext, but it's really because Nameless wants to find them.

I have to admit that none of the people who can become local officials in the imperial court are stupid. Sure enough, as these court officials expected.

After the banquet was over, Su Shuang asked the beautiful maid to come in to clean up the mess, and the little sister of the Li family invited the court officials to go to the special elegant hall for tea.

Zhang Ning and the little sister of the Li family sat on the two chairs on the upper seat across a coffee table, while Gao Yimin and others sat on the guest seats on both sides.

The little sister of the Li family said bluntly: "I think you adults have already guessed that this banquet is just a pretext. In fact, my brother Zhang has something to look for your lords, but he doesn't move around on weekdays, and he doesn't want to be a villain, so he invites you to come over in the name of the banquet. ”

Gao Yimin and the others looked at each other and said in their hearts: "That's really the case." ”

Immediately, Gao Yimin said: "Mr. Nameless has something to do, although it is said, we will not delay it if we can do it." ”

In fact, saying it is equivalent to not saying it, and it is very good to be able to do it.

If you can do it, you can do it, and if you can't do it, you can't do it.

"Old fritters. The little sister of the Li family had to mutter. Zhang Ning didn't care, and said with a smile: "I heard something today, but this matter is also closely related to everyone here. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Ning told the news he got from Bai Shujing's mouth. At the end, Zhang Ning said: "This year is the year of Jiazi, if the black snake makes waves to attack Hangzhou, hundreds of thousands of people in the city are afraid to become water ghosts. ”

There is a sentence that Zhang Ning did not say.

But he believes that everyone present will also understand, if Hangcheng is really attacked by the black snake, everyone present will also be to blame.

If Zhang Ning doesn't say this, the old fritters will understand.

Sure enough, as Zhang Ning's voice fell, including Gao Yimin, the faces of the little sister of the Li family showed a solemn look, and the atmosphere was not cheerful all of a sudden.
