Chapter Twenty-Six—Drunken Absurdity

"This matter won't affect Uncle Shi, right?" Meng Hao came back to his senses and hurriedly asked.

"Hangzhou was hit by the flood this time, but the imperial court did this, which really chilled the people in the south of the Yangtze River, so that now the people are full of grievances and excitement. If the imperial court takes us and others at this time, I am afraid that it will be more difficult for the new officials to suppress these people, and then there will be another big chaos. Governor Zhao analyzed.

"What I'm afraid of is that the imperial court will take this opportunity to purge all forces in Jiangnan and send troops to suppress Jiangnan by force. Meng Ran was very worried.

Governor Zhao waved his hand, "With the current situation, the imperial court will not rashly start killing." Now that the relationship between the Liang clan and the Dao Sect is becoming increasingly tense, how can there be extra strength to deal with Jiangnan. If it is a careless and rebellious Jiangnan Prefecture, there will be a big drama to watch at that time. ”

Meng Hao wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Governor Zhao with his eyes.

"It's rare for you to come and have a drink with me. "Governor Zhao is going to pour wine for Meng Hao.

"I can't help it, I can just come by myself, how can I let Uncle Shi pour wine. Meng Hao hurriedly stood up.

After a while, the two people under the pavilion had already drunk seven or eight glasses.

Meng Hao was already depressed, coupled with some fatigue, after drinking more than ten glasses of wine, he was obviously drunk.

Governor Zhao no longer persuaded him to drink, but asked Shi Feng to take him down to rest.

Meng Hao refused, just shouted to go home. The two had no choice but to agree to send him home.

Governor Zhao covered his forehead, "Shi Feng, let's do it, it's still early now, you quickly send him to Lin'an, and enter the city immediately at the city gate." Do not delay the hour, lest they be denied entry and sleep outside the city. ”

"Yes. ”

Shi Feng helped Meng Hao, who was seven or eight points drunk, to walk towards the back door.

The wind grew stronger, blowing off a few leaves.

When they arrived at the back door, Shi Feng waved his hand and beckoned the coachman, and the two carried Meng Hao to the back of the carriage together. Shi Feng said to the coachman, "Do you remember the road? Go back the way you came, you go first, I will go to the stable and ride my horse, and I will catch up with you in a while." ”

The coachman said yes, and then waved his whip and was about to leave the city.

By the time the carriage left the city gate, Shi Feng had already arrived on horseback.

At sunset, in the breeze, a knight and a carriage walked slowly.

At the moment of Shen, the sun finally slowly set on the mountain, escaping from the eyes of the world, leaving only the orange back to show the world.

The carriage that Meng Hao was riding in stepped on the last rays of the sunset and appeared in the sight of Lin'an City.

Shi Feng saw that the carriage had no time to enter the city, so he had to ride his horse and gallop, and when he arrived at the city gate, he hugged his fist at the messenger who was about to close the city gate: "Ladies and gentlemen, my brother is still behind, please wait for a while, don't make my brother unable to enter the city and sleep outside the city." ”

The leading officer twisted his neck, rolled his eyes, and said: "What kind of thing are you, dare to stop our brother from closing the city gate? If you want to rebel, you can't do it? After speaking, he pushed Shi Feng hard.

Shi Feng was not angry, but just reached into his arms and took out a string of copper coins, and gently put them in the hands of the leading errand officer, "Poor master, we are out of the house, there are many inconveniences, and we are accommodating." ”

The leader weighed the weight of the copper coin, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "This copper coin is not enough for our brother to have a few points." This makes me very embarrassed. Brothers, aren't they?"

With that, he turned his head and glanced at the other errands around him.

The group of errands understood, and shouted in unison: "Where is this enough, should you send Hanako?"

Shi Feng was helpless, so he had to reach into his arms again and take out another string of copper coins.

Seeing that the money was so easy to get in, the leading officer glanced at his subordinates around him, and everyone took a few steps forward in unison to surround Shi Feng.

"Boy, you're very willing to use money! Is there something unsightly in the car? Or is there a Jiangyang thief arrested by the imperial court?" the leading officer asked sharply.

"Everyone, you are too careful, it's just my brother in the car. It's only because my brother is infected with the wind and cold that he wants to go into the city to rest, and by the way, he will find a doctor to take a look at his body. Shi Feng was smiling at the officers. It's really embarrassing for him, the dignified state government yamen and the prefect's cronies are so respectful to some unpopular miscellaneous servants in Lin'an County.

While Shi Feng was arguing with the servants, the carriage also slowly arrived.

The leading errand was about to lift the curtain of the carriage, but was stopped by Shi Feng, "Poor master, my brother is infected with the wind cold, once he sees the wind, I am afraid that it will aggravate his condition." Please make it easier for you. ”

The leading poor man smiled fiercely, "I'll make it easier, my brothers don't agree." As he spoke, he made a gesture to count the money.

Shi Feng smiled angrily.

The two sides were at a stalemate for a moment, and in the end, Shi Feng was defeated. Shi Feng took out a tael of silver from his arms and handed it to the leading officer. Said coldly: "If the cha master still refuses to let us enter the city and still wants silver, then go and search the carriage yourself." ”

The leader smiled, not paying much attention to Shi Feng's words, "Okay, let's go." ”

The soldiers got out of the way, and Shi Feng led the horse and led the carriage into the city.

Not long after entering the city, Meng Hao slowly woke up. Lifting the curtain, he saw the familiar street outside and Shi Feng leading the horse, "Brother Shi, thank you for escorting you all the way, what are your plans tonight?"

Shi Feng saw that Meng Hao had woken up, and replied casually: "I naturally found a place to drink and sleep, Master Meng doesn't have to worry about me, go home." ”

Meng Hao's tone was a little aggravated, "How can I ignore you, I am very uneasy to let you run around from afar, why don't I invite you to a bar." ”

"Oh, Lord Meng is not coming back from home, come with me for a drink?" Shi Feng was a little surprised.

"What bullshit, if you look up to me, call me Brother Meng, if you look down on me, continue to call me Lord. Meng Hao said a little unhappily.

"Meng Da... Brother Meng, is it appropriate for you not to go home? After all, this has already arrived at the doorstep, and it is impossible to say that you don't go home. ”

"It's okay, we'll get drunk tonight. ”

"Oh well. ”

In the grey night, only the clatter of horses' hooves and the clatter of wheels against the road could be heard.

The first to speak was Shi Feng, "Brother Meng, where are we going to drink?"

"Uh... Let's go to Tenka-in. Meng Hao was still drunk and said without thinking.

The coachman parked the carriage at the gate of Tianxiangyuan, Meng Hao got out of the carriage, and said to the coachman: "You go to Meng's mansion and tell Fu Bo that I want to entertain guests, and I won't go back tonight, let him talk to his wife, so as not to worry." ”

Then the coachman took his leave.

Meng Hao and Shi Feng stood in front of Tianxiang Courtyard, looking at the three-story wooden structure building, only to see the front eaves of the wooden building flying out diagonally, quite imposing. From the outside, you can see that this building occupies a large area. At this time, the lights in the building are bright, the sound of silk and bamboo is endless, and there are countless warblers and swallows.

At this time, the little guy in Tianxiang Courtyard had already greeted him, "Two masters, please come inside." ”

The little man stooped and saluted, motioning for the two to follow him into the stairs.

The two of them entered the Tianxiang Courtyard, and saw that the hall was mostly dressed in Sven and dressed in gorgeous clothes, but the clothes of the two of them looked a little strange, but the two of them didn't care much.

A woman dressed in extra bright clothes and walked up to the two of them, "Second master, are there any girls who are good friends, or is it the first time to come, do you need me to introduce a few girls to the two of you?"

Meng Hao waved his hand, "No need to introduce, take the two of us to the flower room." Just find a few Qingqi who can play the piano well. ”

"Okay, two masters. The woman walked in front with her fat ass twisted and led the two of them upstairs.

When I entered the room, I saw several red candles burning in the room, and there were the thickness of a child's arms. The incense burner on the table is lightly lit, emitting a thick aroma, which makes people smell and be conscious, but they don't know where they are.

Meng Hao and Shi Feng sat down slowly, and before they could wait, a few Qingqi'er brought musical instruments into the door.

Afterwards, a small servant served a tea tray, fresh fruit and some common snacks.

The sound of the piano in the room gradually started, and the two of them began to drink.

I don't know how long I drank it, but Meng Hao's vision had begun to blur.

I heard a 'squeak' and the door was pushed open. Meng Hao raised his eyes and saw a pretty figure, dressed in white like snow, like a dream.

Qing Qi'er, who was playing music, raised her eyes and shouted together, "Sister Begonia." ”

This woman named Begonia was wearing a snow-white Luo dress and looked spotless. On the earlobe, there is a delicate and soft, pure and transparent drop-shaped jade, and the hair is bunned and pine, which is obliquely inserted into it by a wooden hairpin, adding elegance and purity. Her eyebrows are picturesque, her body is light, but she has no smoky and flattering posture.

She walked to Meng Hao's table, turned to Qing Qi'er and said, "You guys have worked hard, take that master to another room, and leave two girls to accompany you." As for this, you don't have to worry about it. ”

Those Qing'er first sent the musical instruments away, and then returned, helping Shi Feng to go to another room, leaving only Haitang and Meng Hao alone.

After Haitang turned around and closed the door, he walked to Meng Hao's side and sat down gently, picked up the wine glass poured on the table, poured it full of wine, raised it in front of Meng Hao's eyes, and asked quietly, "Lord Meng, do you have anything to worry about?"

Meng Hao muttered a few times, but he didn't speak.

Haitang stopped talking, just looked at Meng Hao quietly. The gentle gaze seemed to be able to drown Meng Hao, and the scorching light seemed to be able to burn the skin.

After a long time, the woman raised her glass and drank it all.

Again and again, it was poured again, and it was drunk again.

At some point, the candle on the table suddenly crackled, waking up the half-drunk two.

I saw the begonias under the candlelight faintly revealing their round shoulders, and their skin was white and red, which was beautiful.

Rao is always calm and square, Meng Hao also has dry lips, his Adam's apple fluctuates, and his heart beats like thunder.

Begonia turned his head to look at Meng Hao, who was swallowing saliva, and smiled, like a begonia flower in full bloom waiting to be picked.

At this moment, Meng Hao was short of breath, and his masculine breath was instantly agitated.
