Pan Xiangjie was suspended from work pending participation, and was hit by a board again. His son Pan Lin was affected, and he was scolded by the officials every day in court. A few days later, he was suspended from work with a tag and was detained at home.
Xiao Chiye held a banquet and specially invited Marquis Helian. Marquis Helian felt ashamed to see Xiao Chiye because of the Zhaoyue County Lord's talk about his marriage last time. He was also worried that the overlord would be proud of Chunfeng and show his face in public, so he thought about it and asked his son to go to the banquet.
The little prince's name is Fei Shi, and he is also a well-known figure on Donglong Street. He has had drinks with Xiao Chiye before, but none of these little overlords are as big as Xiao Chiye, and they are afraid of the Xiao family, so they didn't play together later. , Seeing Xiao Chiye and Li Jianheng, he walked around. Now that he was going to Xiao Chiye's banquet, he was half empty at first, then turned around and went to Pan's house, asking Pan Lin to go with him.
"Come with me, let's relax!" Fei Shi urged, wearing his robe, "This time the banquet is on the Kailing River, and there are a lot of people."
Pan Lin's son was only one month old. He teased for a while and said, "No, I've been bored these days."
"What's so funny about the little brat?" Fei Shi squeezed his body to avoid the nurse, and said, "You can't go this time, my father specifically told me to. Go play and make friends with him. I heard that he and The more you have friendship with Cen, the left capital of the Imperial Court, you can get less scolding if he comes forward."
"You also said," Pan Lin threw the towel and handkerchief, "Cen Xunyi scolded him the hardest! This time Xiao Er only got into the rank by virtue of his friendship with the emperor. How many words can he say to Cen Yu? I don't think so. Go, I'm afraid of shame!"
"Look at you, how can you be so inflexible!" Fei Shi was racking his brains to coax him out of the house, "He has an old friendship with the emperor, if he can speak for your Pan family in front of the emperor, Why are you so aggrieved? Let's go, I've had a drink with him, I'll introduce you!"
Pan Lin couldn't beat Fei Shi, so he pulled him out of the door, got on the carriage and went straight to Kailing River.

Xiao Chiye held a banquet tonight, and the painting boats on the Kailing River were full. He is now very famous, and the brothel pubs along the coast are all stained, and the silver is pouring out like water, and he doesn't need to open his mouth, there are people everywhere who are thinking about giving him money.
But with short staff, you have to do things when you receive money. If you don’t do it today, you will be asked to do it in the future. Xiao Chiye knows this very well and will not accept it. Such a big scene is all at his own expense.
Chen Yang played the abacus in the back, and the calculation became slower and slower. Finally, he simply threw the abacus and said to Ding Tao and Gu Jin: "There are so many fields and houses in the palace, let's organize them and find an auspicious day. ready to sell."
Xiao Chiye was coming out after changing his robes, his golden crown and brocade robes and black cloud boots, full of momentum, and his color changed when he heard the words, he touched his belt and said, "...I'm so poor?"
"There are a lot of flowers in the spring, and the Zhuangzi outside are self-sufficient and can pay some money to come in. However, there are many houses in Zhedu, all of which are rewarded by the palace, and cannot be rented. They have to arrange for people to clean them every day. Our Wangfu and Mei's residence It is a permanent residence, and the people who serve you are about 300 people, monthly salary, reward money, and…”
Xiao Chiye said, "And Ding Tao's candy money. You have to eat the rations of a scout team in the border area for a year, right? I'm used to you."
Ding Tao copied the small book, did not dare to shout, and muttered: "This is when I was at home, the princess authorized it..."
"You've grown up," Xiao Chiye said grimly, "you don't need candy anymore, bad teeth."
"I will not count the expenses tonight," Chen Yang said, leaning on the table, feeling a little dizzy, "I will count it tomorrow morning."
"Are you doing business?" Gu Jin said succinctly, "The man needs to be rich!"
"The house outside is good at checking accounts. I don't go there once in hundreds of years, and my eldest brother doesn't care. The people below dare to fool people when they are free for a long time." Xiao Chiye took a long leg and stepped back, saying, "It doesn't matter now! It's no more than a few thousand taels of silver. This account has... someone is in charge."
Gu Jin watched him go out and asked, "Who? Who in our house can manage the second son's money?"
Chen Yang took the abacus back and dialed it for a while, vaguely speaking.
Ding Tao rubbed her boots, stretched her head and whispered, "I know who it is."

There were not a few officials invited for this banquet. The private banquet of officials above the fourth rank would also be impeached by the Supreme Court. Xiao Chiye also served as the governor of the forbidden army. . The last time Cen Yu held a banquet, it was also a private banquet. First, he presented a note to the cabinet. Hai Liangyi nodded, and he was the one who called him. In this way, Kong Qiu also received a trial for being drunk, and was trained in front of Hai Liangyi.
The censors of the Duchayuan are officials of speeches. They can scold the emperor at the top, and reprimand the officials at the bottom. Even if Hai Liangyi is slightly negligent, he should be consulted. For example, in this Guangou incident, Hai Liangyi happened to be the second assistant and Yuan assistant in the cabinet. As long as there was an accident, he would be to blame. At the beginning of Li Jianheng's ascension to the throne, he felt that the Mingli Hall dragon chair was too hard. After sitting for a long time, his buttocks hurt. matter.
Xiao Chiye can't ask for "power", but he can ask for "expensive" or "extremely expensive", but he invites all those who are hereditary and have no title. Most of these dudes who have titles but no real power have someone at home who is holding the sky, so they can play with confidence and boldness. Such as Fei Shi, his father is still alive, and his sister is about to marry Han Jiazi.
Fei Shi got off the sedan chair and pulled Pan Lin to see Xiao Chiye.
"Master Hou, rejoice!"
Xiao Chiye smiled and said, "Little Marquis is willing to reward me, I have enough wine tonight."
Seeing that he was approachable, Fei Shi couldn't help but relax and said, "Master Hou is generous, you won't go home tonight if you don't get drunk!"
Xiao Chiye looked at Pan Lin and said, "Pan Shilang, please, is Master Pan feeling better recently?"
When Pan Lin heard his normal tone, he let go of his dangling heart and bowed back, "Thanks to the Lord Hou's concern, my father's health is not in any way, but he is ashamed of the grace of God. Recently, he is facing the wall and doing self-examination."
Xiao Chiye seemed to sigh with emotion and said, "Master Pan is also a veteran of the three dynasties. He acts cautiously and is diligent in his administration. Now it is a pity to encounter such an unpredictable danger."
Pan Lin was frustrated for days and begged a lot of people to intercede and reduce the punishment. Except for Fei who still wanted to save the trouble, everyone else tried to dodge it in every possible way. He was born in the direct line of an aristocratic family and had a smooth career. Now he has only tasted the taste of the world and knew that the world is hot and cold. At this moment, facing Xiao Chiye's words, he was greatly surprised and moved.
"My father..." Pan Lin's emotions surged up, but he knew the etiquette and smiled reluctantly, "Forget it, tonight I'm here to congratulate the marquis, not to mention anything else. Marquis, congratulations!"
"I'm just basking in the grace of the saints, all I do are errands that are crawling in the mud. I don't have to worry about the country all day long than Shi Lang and Master Pan. Chen Yang," Xiao Chiye turned sideways, "Please come on the little Marquis and Pan Shi Lang. Ship, good life to serve."
Chen Yang saluted and respectfully led the two of them in. There is a hanging yarn on the inside of the boat, and the sound of Cong Cong's pipa flows into the night. The seating arrangement is divided into high and low, Chen Yang brought the two of them to the top, and the table was filled with children from aristocratic families.
Pan Lin saw several acquaintances, but did not say hello. Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Fei Shi quickly got up to mediate and said, "Isn't this Master Xue? It's rare to see you once!"
Xue Xiuyi was Xue Xiuzhuo's direct line eldest brother, but he had neither talent nor brains, and he just stepped on Xue Xiuzhuo for many years because of his background. His heart was higher than the sky, and when he saw that the Pan family was in decline, he felt disgusted with Pan Lin.
Xue Xiuyi drank wine and said, "Well, Xiaohou, stay safe?"
Fei Shi put on his fan and said, "I, it's okay. What are you doing lately? Come out and play!"
Xue Xiuyi showed arrogance and said, "I'm busy at home to study some isolated copies of the previous dynasty."
Fei Shi smiled and said, "Hey, the youngest and the youngest are only eight fights tall, so why are you free today?"
Xue Xiuyi always turned his side and refused to look directly at Pan Lin. He said, "I heard that Yao Wenyu has returned to the capital. I thought that I should be able to see him here tonight, so I came here. I want to talk to him about some questions."
Pan Lin had endured it for a while, and when he saw his attitude, he immediately sneered and said, "That's not necessarily true, the people who want to ask Yuan Zhuo's knowledge have been lined up to Hongyan Mountain according to their knowledge and cultivation. You!"
Xue Xiuyi hated others for saying that he was ignorant and ignorant. He immediately put down the wine glass and said in a cold voice, "Well, I'm not worthy, but I still have a little self-awareness. I know how many pounds and how many taels I have, and I can't afford to sit in this position!"
He made a pun, and Pan Lin suddenly got up.
Xue Xiuyi's mouth was mean. Seeing that Pan Lin's face was blushing, he sneered a few times, but instead of being angry, he picked up some bitter words: "Sit down, Chengzhi, are there any nails on this chair? Everyone in this boat is watching. With you, you are beautiful tonight—your Pan family is really beautiful recently, even more beautiful than your first son!"
Pan Lin's previous first wife died of illness, and the concubine below was pregnant several times and lost her child. Seeing that she had no son in her thirties, Mrs. Pan ate fast and chanted Buddha, and asked for prescriptions everywhere. In order to give birth to a boy, she gave her. There was a bunch of people stuffed in his room, everyone knew the trouble, and they all laughed at him behind his back for Pan Lin's hidden illness.
Pan Lin was furious, pointed at Xue Xiuyi tremblingly, panting with anger, and said intermittently, "You, you... what are you doing! Let the concubine under you be the director of the house, you are just, straight... stupid like a pig!"
Xue Xiuyi stood up and said, "Shut up! You are insulting Sven! You don't understand shit!"
Pan Lin said, "You are not as good as pigs and dogs!"
Fei Shi held the tea cup, and was caught in the middle and was sprayed with spit on his face. He closed his eyes and shouted, "What are you doing! Young Master, Chengzhi, don't be noisy! A good banquet—"
Xue Xiuyi said, "Don't put me with him, he doesn't deserve it, he doesn't even deserve to carry my shoes!"
Pan Lin looked left and right, picked up the teacup and smashed it. The table was a mess, and Fei Shi couldn't stop it.
Xue Xiuyi has been at home all year round. He is thin and not good at fisting and kicking. He was shoved to the ground by Pan Lin, squatting on the waist, and screaming repeatedly: "Oh...you dare to hit you!"
Pan Lin didn't have anything to break, so he took off his shoes and swung it up and shouted at his face, saying, "I'm teaching you a lesson for Mrs. Xue! What kind of shit, what a cheap mouthful!"
There was a lot of people around, Fei Shi hid the shoes, and said in a hurry, "Stop fighting, stop fighting! Come, come!"
Xiao Chiye lifted the curtain and entered, his face sank. Chen Yang took the guards forward to stop them, pulling the two people apart.
Xue Xiuyi was slapped with red marks on his face. He covered his face and stretched out his feet to kick Pan Lin. He raised his neck and hated, "It's not over, it's not over!"
Pan Lin was very embarrassed. He was sober now, but he didn't expect to be embarrassed in public. He avoided all eyes, endured his grief, and said decisively: "I, Pan Chengzhi, will starve to death in the future, and I will never sit at the same table with you Xue Xiuyi! I will never beg you, even if the Pan sect of Dan City is dead in the future. Xue's once!"
After Pan Lin finished speaking, he threw the shoes on the ground, raised his head to look at anyone, and only saluted Xiao Chiye with a fist.
"Sweeping the happiness of Lord Hou, I, Pan Chengzhi, compensate! How many things I fell tonight, I, Pan Chengzhi, will pay double! Not only will I pay, but tonight, this Kailing River - I, Pan Chengzhi, will give the package to Lord Hou! Lord Hou, farewell! Another day! I'll come to the door to apologize!"
He kicked the other shoe as well, just like that, wearing clean socks, stepping on the mess, pushed Fei Shi away.
"Wait, waiter," Xiao Chiye said slowly, "Chenyang, take the waiter to change first."
Fei Shi said quickly, "Yes, yes, yes! Let's change first!"
Whether Pan Lin is a son of an aristocratic family or a listed official, he speaks sternly, but if he really wants him to take to the streets like this, it is better to kill him.
"Young Master," Xiao Chiye raised his finger and gestured to Gujin, "Please invite me too."
