The night was dark and the cold was getting thicker.

After more than ten people, the wine became slower and slower, and the officials with poor alcohol had to put the wine in their mouths and sip it into their stomachs little by little.

King Dai, who had been sitting alone by the desk and eating peanuts before, became serious when he saw this, stood beside King Yi, and the officials who were keeping an eye on him drank every drop of wine in his abdomen, and he paid more attention to Tian Shangshu.

"Lord Tian, this wine is not poisonous wine, it can't be ruined, drink!

"Lord Tian, can Lord Sha pass the grace period?"

Tian Shangshu is not good at drinking, and now his face is half burned red by the wine, and half is frozen by the cold wind.

Sha Shengke was originally the Taishou of Guanzhong County, half a year ago, transferred to Luodu to serve as a doctor of the four products of Yunyi, tonight the king of Dai summoned to the banquet, the two Shangshu adults to accompany him, the early stage was full of interest, more than ten glasses of wine fell into the stomach, the cold air in the hall was pressing, the frozen teeth rattled, and the eyes were full of prayers, hoping that Tian Shangshu would let himself pass the test.

"This official supports the passage of grace by the Sha people. Tian Shangshu was helpless, poured the wine into his mouth, and under the care of King Dai and King Yi, he slowly sipped it into his stomach, and the rest of the officials bared their teeth and poured the wine into their stomachs one by one.

"Lord Feng, Lord Feng, don't be fooled. Feng Zhongsheng, the director of the Criminal Department, took advantage of everyone's inattention, tilted his head, and secretly wanted to spit a sip of wine on the ground, King Yi's eyes were sharp, and he grabbed Feng Zhongsheng's side in one step, and stretched out his hand: "Wine is like character, secretly spitting wine is like fraud, not a gentleman's doing." ”

Feng Zhongsheng looked embarrassed, put the wine in his mouth, followed the appearance of his boss Tian Shangshu, and snorted the wine in his mouth into his stomach little by little.

"The wine that has been agreed with tears will be drunk!" King Dai paced over and said in a loud voice: "For the sake of fairness, from the next glass of wine, the adult who has finished drinking sticks out his tongue to show his integrity." ”

"His Royal Highness King Dai is wise!" Among the officials in the hall, Peng Changqing, who was treated by the household department, drank a lot of wine, tilted his neck, drank all the wine in the cup, stretched out his tongue and shook it, and showed off: "Look, not a drop has leaked." ”

After half a cup of tea, two more officials were granted a grace pass, and after two rounds of drinking, the style of painting in the hall began to reverse, from dull and depressed to relaxed and comfortable.

From the time they entered the palace of the king of Dai, the officials of the account automatically formed a group, and they were all on guard against the two princes, and their words were full of vigilance, and now they have become a group of people who drink a lot, laughing and ridiculing those who drink poorly.

"Lord Zhuang, your wine is all spilled on your beard, do you use wine to pour your beard?"

"Lord Feng, Lord Feng, you spit all the wine into the sleeves of your robe, can this sleeve be used to hold wine?"

"Lord Tian, Lord Tian. King Yi grabbed it in one step, held Tian Shangshu's hand steady, and persuaded: "Don't tremble your hands, you can't spill much wine if you tremble, drink, drink." ”

Officials usually have big fish and meat, accustomed to it, today each person only has a plate of peanuts, and there is no fire in the hall, and drinking outdoors is almost the same, to the middle of the field, peanuts have already been eaten clean, King Dai slammed the door, pretending not to see, the officials were embarrassed to ask for it, so they had to pour a glass of cold wine into their stomachs.

When the last official was given grace, several officials in a corner of the hall were already drunk, Tian Shangshu was drunk and hazy, tried his best to purse his mouth, tried his best to suppress the upside-down wine in his stomach, and silently looked at the pig teammates in the hall who were persuading each other to drink, helpless.

"Ladies and gentlemen. King Yi suddenly gathered his clothes and said in a loud voice: "Everyone is not cold, why does this king feel a little cold?"

"It's cold, it's cold. ”

"His Royal Highness King Dai, it's too cold, hurry up and raise a charcoal fire to keep warm, I will pay for the charcoal fire." Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is more than fifty years old, a few glasses of cold wine in the lower abdomen, the cold air in the hall is pressing, the frozen body is like a sieve chaff, and he can't care about the dignity of Shangshu, so he asks for it.

King Dai seemed to be half drunk and half awake, sitting in his seat, neither making a sound, nor raising his head, his fingers pulling the remaining peanuts on the plate, counting them one by one.

"The servants and maids in the second brother's mansion have long been dismissed, and there is no charcoal fire available. With a suddenly realized expression, King Yi asked with a smile: "Then use what this king brought." ”

With a wave of his hand, the door of the hall opened, and more than a dozen servants rushed in, holding the charcoal brazier that the officials had been looking forward to for a long time.

After a short time, the hall was as warm as spring, and the officials' originally frozen dark faces gradually became ruddy, and they were in a comfortable mood, and those who were not drunk actually persuaded each other to drink.

"Ladies and gentlemen. King Yi asked with a spring breeze on his face: "The wine is almost drunk, according to the previous routines of adults, should I listen to songs and dances?"

The wine pretends to be intimidating, and Peng Changqing, who is waiting for Lang in the household, said boldly: "I think, wine is a god's way to relieve sorrows, color can add splendid poetry, and there is wine without color, and it is not a banquet." ”

"Good, good. King Yi lightly slapped a few palms, and the lights suddenly lit up in the darkness outside the hall, and a group of charming women carried glass palace lamps, swam into the hall from the lights, and after entering the hall, they immediately slid into the arms of the officials like fish.

"Shuang'er, it's cold, you don't stay in Yuchun Loufang, how can you come to King Dai's mansion to sing the ceremony. Peng Changqing's drunken eyes were hazy, he looked at the beauty in his arms, and asked casually.

Shuang'er responded: "The slave family was indirectly sent out of Yuchun Mansion this afternoon, saying that they wanted to serve Teacher Peng, who knew that they would wait until midnight to see Master Peng......

A group of women wore flowers like butterflies, one running to an official, familiar with the different officials in the hall.

A woman in palace clothes with a graceful figure, her hair combed into a snake bun, and her jade pendant jingled all over her body, and ran straight towards Tian Shangshu.

Tian Shangshu picked his eyes, the corners of his mouth curled, revealing a hint of joy, stretched out his hand to wave at the woman in palace clothes, remembered something, looked up to find King Dai and King Yi, when his eyes were opposite, his complexion changed greatly, and he avoided snakes and scorpions to the rushing beauties, put his hands in his sleeves, and shook his hands again and again.

The women in the Yuchun Building, all proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the woman who ran to Tian Daren is a red card Liu Yaner in the Yuchun Building, with a smart temperament, seeing the appearance of Tian Shangshu in the next case, she was alert, and stopped at the time, and looked around, and saw that the sisters had run to their respective arms, flirting, and being hot.

"Miss Liu Yan'er, why is the independent middle hall, I don't know Master Tian. King Yi came over with a smile, looked at Tian Shangshu like a cat and mouse, and then looked at Liu Yan'er, and said jokingly: "In half a year, I don't even recognize Master Tian, who has met more than ten times, and he still doesn't come forward to serve wine?"

Liu Yan'er didn't know all kinds of right and wrong in the Ming Dynasty, neither left nor right, her eyes turned around, and she didn't dare to speak for a while.

The drunken officials in the hall also saw the strange situation of Liu Yan'er and Tian Shangshu, and then looked at the faces of King Yi and King Dai, and immediately remembered their identities and being in the palace of King Dai, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and the wine also woke up, and they pushed away the woman in their arms, and sat upright, and the atmosphere in the hall was very strange for a while, and no one said a word.
