witch chaotic country

Chapter 656 Counting!

Tan Daoji had just stepped into Wang Hua's mansion when he saw Wang Hua coming out from the inner courtyard far away, "Rare guest! Rare guest! Wang held a banquet today, and he did not expect General Tan to be there. Piper shines."

Tan Daoji obviously wasn't used to such greetings, so he smiled awkwardly: "In the past years, he was either stationed at the border or led troops to fight. He rarely had the opportunity to have a drink with his colleagues. Today, he learned that there was a banquet at Wang Shizhong's mansion, so he went to Come ask for a glass of water and wine."

Wang Hua laughed loudly and said, "Don't say it's a cup, even a jar is fine. Please come inside!"

While leading Tan Daoji towards the inner courtyard, Wang Hua said with a smile, "Speaking of which, my unfilial son is still a classmate with Ling Qianjin."

Tan Daoji reacted for a moment before he realized that Wang Hua was referring to Wang Wulang and Tan Yaoyu, and quickly waved his hands and said, "The little girl is naughty. It's all because the masters of Wuxueguan don't dislike her and are willing to teach her, so she can succeed in learning. It is incomparable with the Lang Jun in Wang Shizhong."

Wang Hua twisted his beard and said, "Why should General Tan be overly modest? How strict are the admissions at the Wuxue Academy. No matter how many talents in Jiankang City were rejected. Since Ling Qianjin was admitted to the academy, she has her own uniqueness. Calculated, this dog seems to be about the same age as Ling Qianjin..."

A flash of surprise flashed in Tan Daoji's eyes, and then he replied flatly: "Well... Calculated, it seems that they are indeed about the same age."

The two of them were talking, when they heard a colleague from the court say hello: "What are you two adults talking about standing in the courtyard? Why don't you come in quickly and have a drink with me?"

So stop the question about the ages of Wang Wulang and Tan Yaoyu.Tan Daoji and Wang Hua entered the banquet hall with mutual humility.

Everyone was very enthusiastic about Tan Daoji's arrival.Regardless of Tan Daoji's youngest son, the military power in Tan Daoji's hands is real.

Although the emperor sent someone to reprimand him, but the people sitting here are all human sperm, it's hard to say what's going on with everyone knowing what's going on.At this time, it is still time to win a good relationship with Tan Daoji.

But obviously not everyone thinks so.As soon as Tan Daoji took his seat, he heard a cold snort coming from the opposite side, "If I am reprimanded by the emperor, I'm afraid I will be ashamed to the point of embarrassment. General Tan didn't close the door at home to think about his mistakes, but went to the banquet place, I really don't know what to do!"

Tan Daoji didn't even need to look to know that the speaker was Dao Yanzhi, who had been temporarily dismissed from office.Tan Daoji didn't care about Dao Yanzhi's sarcasm, and just replied flatly: "When will the defeated generals who fled from the desert be able to walk in Jiankang City?"

Until Yanzhi had drank a few glasses of wine before, his head was dizzy, and he was even annoyed that Tan Daoji had taken the limelight when he fought against the Northern Wei Dynasty. At this time, he couldn't help shouting: "Tan Daoji! What's so great about you! If it weren't for this general How could you win so easily after hurting Wei Jun's vitality?!"

Wang Hua, who is the head of the house, was full of embarrassment at this time.He purposely asked people to keep the positions of Yanzhi and Tan Daoji far away, but he didn't expect that it still failed to prevent the two from clashing.

Although Dao Yanzhi was mediocre in talent, he, like Wang Hua, was a confidant Liu Yilong relied on before he ascended the throne.Therefore, even though Dao Yanzhi had been suspended from his official position, Wang Hua invited him to a banquet with his colleagues.Unexpectedly, Yanzhi would go crazy with alcohol in public.

Wang Hua quickly raised his wine glass, suppressed Da Yanzhi's words with a toast, "It's Wang's honor to be honored by my colleagues today, come, let's drink this glass together first!"

Tan Daoji had no intention of causing trouble, so he raised his glass casually.

Wang Hua quickly winked at the servant next to him.

Before everyone drank their glasses of wine, they saw a group of dancing girls filing in, dancing to add to the fun, but also separating the people on both sides of the banquet hall.

The servant secretly removed Xiang Yanzhi's jug, and replaced it with a bowl of hangover soup.

The other people present also breathed a sigh of relief for Wang Hua when they saw this, so they chatted with each other enthusiastically.

Sitting next to Tan Daoji was Tingwei Xingxuan, who was in charge of the trial of Tan Chengbo's case.At that time, I thought I could use this to buy the Tan family's favor, but I didn't expect to shoot myself in the foot.

Xing Xuan was looking for an opportunity to eliminate the estrangement with the Tan family, and when he saw everyone chatting, he immediately held up his wine glass and said sincerely to Tan Daoji: "The general successfully fought against the Northern Wei Dynasty this time, and it really saved the people from the war. Xing is really grateful!"

Tan Daoji also raised his wine glass, and said to Xing Ming: "Tan does not dare to be the one. Mr. Xing is in charge of the prison and maintains the capital. It is because Mr. Xing is fair that the people can live in peace. This glass of wine should be given by Mr. Xing who respects Mr. Xing." .”

Although neither of them mentioned Tan Chengbo's matter, they tacitly stated that the matter has passed.So they looked at each other with a smile and drank the wine in their glasses.

Xing Ming laughed: "General Tan is a good drinker. Speaking of the big and small things in Jiankang City, there is really no Xing who doesn't know. You may have heard that there is a painting workshop on the East Street that specializes in painting portraits of General Tan. .”

Tan Daoji wondered, "A portrait of Tan?"

"Exactly!" Xing Ming nodded affirmatively, "People say that General Tan is the reincarnation of the star Wuqu, who can subdue demons and eliminate demons, so they all go there to buy your portrait and stick it on the door to be the door god! I bought several of them at once, and posted them at the gate of Tingwei’s office, saying that it was to deter the bad guys, so that they would not fight themselves!"

"Oh? How old is your son?"

"Gouzi...huh?" Xing Ming was taken aback for a moment, why did this topic involve his son's age?

Before Xing Ming could react, another official forced his way in holding a wine glass, and hurriedly replied, "Xu is in his early twenties."

"Hu's family has two sons, one is twenty and two, and the other has just turned nineteen."

"There is still a daughter in a certain family!"

Tan Daoji: "How old is your daughter?"

"Exactly twenty-eight years old!"

Wang Hua held the wine glass tightly and tightly, he didn't understand why his banquet became a solitaire for colleagues to report their age? !What's annoying is that he really wants to go... Tell Tan Daoji that Wang Wulang will be double ten this year!
Everyone was reporting their numbers vigorously, when they heard Yan Zhi mockingly said: "What? General Tan knows that his youngest son will not be allowed to be an official for ten years, so he plans to quickly find him a mother-in-law, so as to continue the incense of your Tan family?"

Those who reported the number instinctively shrank back.Everyone thought that Tan Daoji was looking for a good match for the eldest son and the only daughter, but could it be that it was for the unworthy youngest son?

Although Tan Daoji is good at nourishing qi, it is true to protect his weaknesses.Even if Tan Chengbo doesn't live up to his expectations, he won't have an outsider's turn to ridicule his son!

"Father!"

Just as Tan Daoji wanted to reprimand Gu Yanzhi's sarcasm back, he saw Tan Zhi and Tan Can striding into the banquet hall one after the other.

Tan Zhi first clasped his fists at Wang Hua and said, "Your junior came here uninvited and disturbed your elders' pleasure. I also ask Wang Shizhong and you seniors to make amends."

Wang Hua hurriedly waved his hands, "It's okay, it's okay, but you guys have something to do with General Xun Tan?"

Tan Zhi nodded, and said to Tan Daoji: "Father, there is an urgent report from the army, and the son dare not delay, so he came here to ask father to go back and make a decision."

Tan Daoji was taken aback.Military urgent report?Could it be that there was another change in the Northern Wei Dynasty?He didn't dare to ignore it, and immediately stood up and apologized to Wang Hua and the others: "I'm afraid I won't be able to drink with you today. Another day, Tan will hold a banquet at home, and I will apologize to you."

Wang Hua hurriedly waved his hands, "It's important. General Tan doesn't need to worry about it. Wang will see you off." Then he got up and sent Tan Daoji off in person.

Tan Daoji didn't even stop when he passed in front of Yanzhi. Instead, Tan Can deliberately patted the sword on his waist, and said mockingly: "No matter how unfilial your descendants are, it's better than some people who can't be born."

Tan Can's voice was not low, everyone immediately turned their heads to hold back their laughter.But Dao Yanzhi was flushed with anger on the spot!

He married ten concubines, but he couldn't bear a son.Many people discussed in private, saying that the reason why the emperor dared to let Yanzhi take charge of the army was because he was a desperate man without a son.
