Waiting to get out of the carriage and walking alone on the East Street, the crowds of people coming and going, made him feel lonely and desperate.
He found a tavern. After the cat went in, he ordered a jug of wine and drank it himself, just like those literati and mosques from the ages to the present. He felt self-injured and wanted to write a poem. However, he had neglected literature. It's been a long time, all these years, Flies Ying Gougou, devoted himself to the officialdom, where is there any thought to do literature
My heart became more and more depressed, and I poured most of the pot of wine when I raised my head. I felt dizzy and my eyes dizzy when I was overwhelmed with alcohol.
"Oh, isn't this Yuan Shi Lang?" Suddenly, a mocking voice sounded.
He slowly raised his head, only to see a middle-aged man in a blue brocade dress walking in with an attendant, and he fixed his eyes to see that it was actually Sun Shi Lang, the official subordinate.
His heart suddenly disappeared, and his face was also flustered, because this Wu Shilang's wife was his friend.
Wu Shilang is fifty-three this year. His original wife was promoted there, and she went out with jealousy, and married the current wife again, and then she continued to accept concubines. Now there are three concubines, and there are also those who have no status. Seven or eight.
In the first year of the assessment, he made some mistakes. Because he was promoted to the assistant minister and walked through the back door, he was worried that he would not pass the assessment, so he begged to Wu Shi Lang's mansion and gave a lot of gifts, but Wu Shi Lang was greedy. Insufficient, he asked him to give another three thousand taels of silver. He didn't raise enough for a while and offended Wu Shilang. He couldn't make it through that year. Fortunately, his uncle came forward and the matter was settled.
After Wu Shilang came over, he sneered and said: "I almost forgot, it's not Yuan Shilang now. I have to call Hou Ye. I heard that you were sick and resigned. Is your illness cured?"
Waiting for these people is already habitually flattering and subconsciously showing weakness. Therefore, even if he could hear the ridicule and contempt in his tone, he did not dare to refute, but accompanied the smiling face and said: "It turns out to be Lord Wu, thank you Regards, it's okay, you have a heart."
He is a magnificent marquis, but he dare not offend even a watchdog on the side of the staff, let alone the servant.
Wu Shilang sat down with a smile and looked at him opposite, his face full of sarcasm and mockery, "Yuan Balong, you are really inferior to a dog, and a dog knows how to look at the face of a person. You are so useless, it is better to die. went."
The sudden attack on Wu Shilang was in anticipation of waiting.
It was not because of his wife, but because the three thousand taels of silver did not raise enough. He went to ask Wu Shilang to beg for mercy. It happened that the official secretary found out, and he reprimanded Wu Shilang and warned him. Wu Shilang hated him from then on. , He was opposed to him everywhere, which also led to every assessment after that, he had to find a relationship to ask for favor. When he was in office, he dreamed of Wu Shilang's transfer, but Wu Shilang had long nails in his butt, and was always there. The officials are waiting.
Now facing Wu Shilang's hateful face, he can only say, "Master Wu really likes to talk and laugh, because of his drunkenness."
"Trash!" Seeing that Wu Shilang couldn't irritate him, he couldn't help cursing triumphantly.
I just waited for him to leave quickly, so he didn't talk to each other, and just looked at Wu Shilang and smiled flatteringly.
"Master Wu is such a powerful official!"
Wang An’s voice came over coldly.
The two suddenly raised their heads and saw Wang An, who was wearing a python robe, standing behind them. He had a solemn face and looked at Wu Shilang coldly, "The Lord Hou has a knight, it is not the court. Commander, I can't tolerate you to be contemptuous!"
There were so many people in this tavern. King An scolded Wu Shilang like this, and told Wu Shilang that his face was blank, but he didn't dare to argue. He just stood up and arched his hands in a trivial way, "The prince is right, let him go!"
"Get out!" Wang An said coldly.
This one word made Wu Shilang unhappy, but he didn't dare to show his anger, and left angrily.
Jinghou had never seen Wu Shilang eat like this, so he couldn't help but quickly stood up and saluted King An, "Xiao Hou has seen the prince, thank you for your help."
An Wang Yangpao sat down with a hearty voice, "You don't have to be polite, Lord Hou, I couldn't understand his yin and yang strange appearance, so he just reprimanded him."
Waiting for a while, he smiled flatteringly, this smile was habitual, and he inadvertently revealed it.
After laughing, he remembered that the things he knew were designed by An Wang, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart.
However, when Xiao Er brought the wine glass over and placed it on the table, he immediately stood up and poured the wine respectfully, "Master, please enjoy your face and have a drink."
Wang An was very satisfied when he saw his humble attitude, and took a sip from his wine glass, "This wine is not good. If you don't dislike it while waiting, it's better to go to An Wang Mansion for a drink."
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, don't ask for it!" I waited flattered and said immediately.
Wang An stood up and said meaningfully, "Master Hou, please!"
Waiting to bend, "Lord, please."
When he arrived at An Wang Mansion, An Wang ordered the people to serve some fine wine, pushed the cup for another one, and after a while, he was very drunk after waiting.
He has a good drinking capacity, and because of the large amount of entertainment these years, it must be good.
But his heart was upset, and the wine was so vigorous, he really couldn't bear it.
Seeing that he was almost drinking, King An put down his wine glass and watched and waited, "Master Hou is only in his forties this year, right? He is in his prime of life like Master Hou, when he is working for the court, why did he hang up his boots? Where's the official?"
Waiting for the drunkenness to be strong, he heard these words, and then looked at Wang An’s deep-meaning face. He remembered that because of this incident, he had run into a wall on the side of Yu Wenhao and Yuan Qingling, and he knelt down with anger. "Master, if you can help me, Xiaohou is willing to do your best."
King An sat up straight, with a faint smile at the corners of his mouth, and a glint flashed under his eyes, which made him kneel before slowly supporting him, "Master Hou doesn’t need to be like this. If Master Hou really wants to return to officialdom, Ben Wang has a suitable opportunity."
When I was waiting to leave An Wang's Mansion, my footsteps were vain and people were half dizzy.
Wang An called someone to send him off. He got into the carriage and fell asleep. Only when he arrived at the mansion was he helped him down.
After entering the mansion, he went back to his concubine Zhou's house, and lay down one end, the words of Wang An always echoed in his ears, "If things are done, this king promises to let you replace Lord Wu and serve as the first servant of the staff. Job."
Official assistant, official assistant.
From now on, he will be in charge of the important posts of assessing officials, and in the future, officials of all sizes will give him gifts, depending on his face.
It's so attractive.
He seemed to have a dream, dreaming that Wu Shilang knelt in front of him and gave him three thousand taels of silver, but he kicked it out.
So happy, so happy.
"I don't know which vixen I went with to drink, and he was so drunk."
In the ear, the little concubine Zhou's cursing voice.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and the world turned around, as if in a dream.
He slowly clenched his fists and narrowed his eyes. He would never look at people's faces again. He wanted all those who insulted him to come down to his door.
