Younger Sister Sun pouted and said, "These young masters are really boring. They even asked about Xiao Tian's embarrassing stories and came here to laugh at them. They are like a group of children who haven't grown up. They are boring."
When Ye Xiaotian heard this, he suddenly stopped. Sister Sun's words reminded him that it took him only three days to transfer officials, punishments, and rituals, unless Guan Xiaokun and others had been paying attention to him. , otherwise how could it be known about this matter, and it is so detailed.
Overheard by chance? Just these few dudes, would they care about a little trouble in the yamen? Even if these yamen go in and out of the yamen, who would deliberately joke about their own affairs in front of them? If they have been paying attention to me, then I was left in Nanjing, could it be that someone is doing something wrong
This idea suddenly turned in Ye Xiaotian's mind, he was not sure that his doubts must be right, but he secretly raised a little caution.
Seeing him stop suddenly, Zhan Ning'er asked thoughtfully, "What's wrong?"
Ye Xiaotian told them about his worries just now, Hua Yunfei thought for a while and said: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case, otherwise, let's calm down during this time, and don't be caught by them. They really intend to target big brother, and small things can be turned into big things by them."
Ye Xiaotian said: "Ha! He shrinks his head when he is scared, that is a tortoise, not me, Ye Xiaotian."
Hua Yunfei said: "Brother, the Minister of Rites is Guan Xiaokun's father. You almost put his son in prison. No matter how open-minded he is, he will inevitably have a grudge against you. If people like Guan Xiaokun make trouble out of it …”
Mao Wenzhi nodded anxiously, and said: "Brother, even though Guan Xiaokun is a dude, he has a lot of eyes. The last time he secretly exchanged money, you were the only one who found out the method of exchanging money. If it were us, he would have been caught by him a long time ago." It’s bad, let’s be careful.”
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said: "I know, I will be careful. But we don't have to give up our original intention because of this. I have no other skills. What I am good at is causing trouble, and what I like most is causing trouble. This trouble I know whether the trouble is big or small, and whether I can get it back if I get into trouble."
…
In a flash, three days passed.
People from the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Punishment, and Guan Xiaokun were all looking forward to it, but Ye Xiaotian stayed in the Ministry of Rites in a stable manner, and nothing happened.
Retranslation upstairs, a table of delicious food.
Li Xuancheng, Xu Qiyun, Guan Xiaokun and Rui Qingxing sat around the table.
Li Xuancheng knew that Guan Xiaokun hated Ye Xiaotian to the bone, so he stayed out of the matter and only told Guan Xiaokun about Ye Xiaotian's movements. He expected that Guan Xiaokun would make some moves, but after three days, there was no news from Ye Xiaotian, so Li Xuancheng deliberately brought the topic to Ye Xiaotian body.
Rui Qingxing just said how charming and ecstasy he played with the skinny horse when he went to Ruyi Tower yesterday, but it was a pity that he was taken the first step and took the lead, and he was no longer a nobleman. Light up, asking for details.
Li Xuancheng coughed and said with a smile: "Yangzhou thin horses are famous all over the world, I have heard of them too. Since Brother Xiaokun is interested, I will go with Brother Rui some other day."
Guan Xiaokun said with an embarrassed smile: "Hey, we brothers are blessed to share together, go together, go together."
Li Xuancheng smiled slightly, and said: "Li is not interested in Fireworks and Willow Lane. In such a romantic place, we must be in love with each other, so we can go in and out together, so I won't go. By the way, that Ye Xiaotian didn't cause trouble in the Ministry of Rites, right? This man is arrogant and domineering, which is really disgusting."
When Guan Xiaokun heard him mention Ye Xiaotian, he couldn't help but slapped the table, and said angrily: "Don't mention it, I don't know what the people in the official department think, so they sent him to the Huitong Hall. I have found two uncles in the past two days, Originally wanted to find out his faults and rectify him, but who knew..."
Li Xuancheng's expression tightened, and he hurriedly said, "What?"
On the side, Xu Qiyun gave Li Xuancheng a strange look. He has been with Li Xuancheng for the longest time, and he knows Li Xuancheng's personality well. .
Guan Xiaokun smiled wryly and said: "I have inquired carefully, and our Jinling Huitong Hall is basically an idle yamen. The entire Huitong Hall should have one ambassador, two deputy envoys, and a hundred staff members. Now there is only one ambassador, Ye Xiaotian. As you know, there are only a dozen or so people under his command, and four of them were brought by himself..."
Li Xuancheng frowned, and said, "What's the problem with the size of the yamen?"
Guan Xiaokun said: "The problem is serious. Let me put it this way. The guild hall has not opened for seventy-two years. There are only three or two kittens, basking in the sun and catching fleas every day, doing nothing! They Nothing happened, how can I take advantage of them?"
Li Xuancheng and Rui Qingxing looked at each other.
At this moment, a clerk led a man in Tsing Yi and a hat who looked like a family member ran up the stairs. The clerk came to Guan Xiaokun's side and whispered a few words. Guan Xiaokun then said to Li Xuancheng: "Uncle Guo, the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion sent someone to find my house and said that there is something urgent to find you!"
Li Xuancheng glanced at the family member and asked, "What's the matter, so anxious."
The family hurriedly bowed and said: "Uncle Guo, there is an envoy from Fanbang coming from the South China Sea, and he is about to arrive in Jinling. Duke Wei invites Uncle Guo to meet him!"
※※※
In the Huitong hall, Ye Xiaotian, Mao Wenzhi, Hua Yunfei, and Zhan Ning'er in men's attire sat around the table. There was a gossip-shaped copper stove on the table, the charcoal fire underneath was burning vigorously, and the pot was steaming. Sister Sun rolled up her sleeves, showing her two white arms, and brought over a small basket of freshly washed green vegetables.
Ye Xiaotian said: "Dou Ni, don't be too busy, sit down and eat."
Duo Ni agreed bluntly, and sat next to him, first took a boiled shrimp ball and put it in Ye Xiaotian's bowl, and said sweetly: "Brother Xiaotian, you eat."
Zhan Ning'er mustered up her courage for a long time, and finally she fainted slightly and took a piece of mutton, and was about to hand it to Ye Xiaotian's bowl. Seeing this scene, the chopsticks that were just handed to Ye Xiaotian made a slight 7-shape, and then I put it in my own bowl, dipped it in the dipping sauce, and ate it silently.
Ye Xiaotian's eyes moved slightly, pretending not to look at it, picked up the jug and poured a glass of wine for Zhan Ning'er, and said, "Come on, have a taste of this wine, this is 'Golden Stem Dew', clear but not bitter, thick but not bitter. Hurting others is a gentleman in wine. Duo Ni, you should try it too." Saying this, Ye Xiaotian poured another glass for Sister Sun.
Mao Wenzhi's eyebrows danced brightly, and he said: "Brother, this hall is really a good place to go. I have nothing to do all day, and I get paid for nothing. It's so carefree and comfortable."
Hua Yunfei rolled his eyes at him and said: "You're really worthless, you just know how to eat. Big brother still has a bet that he will be promoted to the eighth level in three years. If you eat here for three years, you can be promoted?"
Hua Yunfei turned to Ye Xiaotian and said, "Brother, this place is really too leisurely. It's hard for you to find a job. It's not the way to go on like this. Otherwise... Please Zhang Hongyan for help? If the Minister of the Ministry of War is willing to say something for you, The official department has to give face no matter what."
Ye Xiaotian nodded and said: "Yeah! I'm thinking about this too, I'm going to find Zhang Hongyun after I'm released tonight..."
At this time, someone in the courtyard asked in a rambling voice: "Where is the ambassador of the same embassy? Come out quickly!"
Ye Xiaotian and Hua Yunfei looked at each other, patted Sister Sun's wrist lightly, and said, "You and Sister Ning'er are eating, I'll go and see."
Ye Xiaotian took Mao Wenzhi and Hua Yun to the porch, and saw three people standing in the yard, the middle one was tall and tall, with a jade tree facing the wind, wearing a flying fish suit, with his sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he was really a talent. Half a step behind him on the left and right, there are two more guards standing with their swords on their hands. The one who asked the question just now is one of the guards.
When Ye Xiaotian saw that person, it turned out to be Uncle Li Guo, he couldn't help being very surprised, he hurriedly stepped down the steps, stepped forward and bowed, and said: "Uncle Guo, what kind of wind blows you to such an idle place like no shit?" Is there a place?"
Ye Xiaotian's salutes are very formal, but very well-behaved, but this sentence is so weird that it doesn't please me. Uncle Li Guo felt annoyed. Standing in the courtyard, he saw that the hall was steaming and eating hot pot, so he sneered coldly: "I have a side stove during office hours, so it's so delicious, no wonder I became an official in charge of eating." .”
Ye Xiaotian said with a smile: "Food is the most important thing for the people, and this is the only pursuit for lower officials."
Li Guojiu raised his nostrils and said, "The soil turtle is always the soil turtle!"
Ye Xiaotian blinked and said, "Would you be a turtle if you put on a python robe?"
Uncle Li Guo laughed back angrily, and said disdainfully: "I want you to learn more, this is a flying fish, not a python!"
Ye Xiaotian shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter, it's all aquatic products anyway."
Mao Wenzhi laughed out loud, and Hua Yunfei couldn't help smiling.
Inside the room, the two girls had been listening to the movement outside. Hearing this, Younger Sister Sun giggled and said to Zhan Ning'er, "Brother Xiaotian's mouth is really powerful!"
Zhan Ning'er said: "Tch! He's only good with that mouth."
Sister Sun said unconvinced: "That's not true, brother Xiaotian is amazing in many aspects."
Zhan Ning'er gave her a blank look, and said, "Then tell me, what's so great about him?"
The two girls looked at each other for a while, Zhan Ning'er suddenly thought of something, her pretty face blushed instantly, she quickly lowered her head to pick up the vegetables, and said, "Eat, eat."
Seeing her blushing, Sister Sun seemed to understand something all of a sudden, and her little face instantly turned into a cute red apple, and she said awkwardly, "Mmm! Eat, eat."
In the yard, Li Xuancheng became more and more annoyed. With his identity, he didn't have to come in to look for Ye Xiaotian, he just sent a guard over. He wanted to see Ye Xiaotian's embarrassment in this deserted yamen, so he took the initiative to invite Ying. Who knew Ye Xiaotian was here He was very carefree, but he was ridiculed by Ye Xiaotian again.
Li Xuancheng stretched out his hand, grabbed Ye Xiaotian's arm, and said with a sneer, "You rat, you actually mocked my uncle five times and three times!"
Ye Xiaotian didn't expect that Uncle Li Guo was actually a Lianjiazi, his left arm was twisted backwards by him, his expression changed due to the pain, of course he didn't dare to punch Uncle Li Guo, he just said loudly: "Uncle Guo doesn't say anything like that. Decent, aren't you afraid that the next official will sue Yu Naqiao, the envoy, for beating the official?"
Li Xuancheng endured the anger in his heart, Ye Xiaotian pushed forward fiercely, and said coldly: "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you! Today, the envoy of Kezhi Kingdom in the South China Sea is visiting. As the ambassador of the same embassy, don't you hurry up to meet him?"
An envoy from the Kezhi Kingdom in the South China Sea
Ye Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, the Jinling Club hadn't opened for seventy-two years, he didn't expect this first business to fall into my hands!
