The county magistrate has no time to save the world

Chapter 197 Dinner
Many people were invited to the dinner at Jingzhao Mansion.

Chen Xuan'er was also invited, so Zheng Nian went home to pick her up.

The list contained the names of all the Chang'an county government offices that had been there to suppress the bandits, so Fu Yuhuan and others also went there.

Several people took a carriage and rushed to Yakumo Hall, passed the guards, and drove the carriage directly to the courtyard.

Jiang Ming took the carriage to feed the grass, and the others entered the hall under the guide all the way.

The venue of the Yakumo Hall is very large, and it can accommodate hundreds of people at least, but there are only a few tables. It is estimated that many officials from other capitals were surrounded by today's feast.

Sure enough, there are six or seven functional organizations in the capital with more than a dozen tables. The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry bear the brunt, as well as the various departments of the Dali Temple, the various departments of the garrison, and the Changle County Yamen, etc., but most of them are small officials. , the biggest one is a female official temple guard from Dali Temple, the official residence is from the sixth grade.

The guest of honor had already arrived, and the big guys began to take their seats. Zheng Nian and Chen Xuan'er were arranged in the main seat, and on the left and right were Xin Delong and his wife, Qin Feng, Mr. Xun and his wife, and several accompanying officials.

Zheng Nian held Xin Delong in his left hand and Qin Feng in his right. Xin Delong's wife was leaning against Chen Xuan'er, and Madam Xun was beside her. They were in harmony. Just looking at the table, Zheng Nian thought it was a family banquet or something.

Mr. Xun stood up with a roll of rice paper in his hand, walked to the stage and began to give a speech. He first started with the issue of public security in the capital, then talked about the suffering of the people and the direction of rectification, and then praised Chang'an County for his meritorious service in suppressing bandits. , rewarded Zheng Nian and others with a lot of good things, and finally started to talk about it with the capital development direction card.

Zheng Nian has held this kind of meeting countless times before, and listening to it now, I am quite moved, but their speeches are a bit exaggerated, and in addition to praising the emperor's mighty power, a series of words from the Great Zhou Dynasty for thousands of years almost occupied the absolute space for speeches. Most of them sound a bit depressed and critical, not as pragmatic as the speeches in the previous life sounded.

When it was Zheng Nian's turn, he was already prepared, and after thanking him, he sat down.

Everyone heard nothing unusual, and finally Mr. Xun raised his glass and opened the banquet with everyone, which was considered complete.

The singer came to the stage, the dancer danced, and the singing began.

"Master Xun is also interesting." Zheng Nianhan smiled.

"Being an official these days is for myself." Xin Delong clinked glasses with Zheng Nian at the side, "Master Xun can live like a fish in water here because of his good memory. With such a good memory, what can't be done?"

"Good memory?" Zheng Nian was taken aback.

"That's not it?" Xin Delong glanced at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng poured the wine in his hand on Lord Xun's arm, "Hey, Lord Xun, I'm sorry, I'm negligent."

Master Xun laughed, "It's okay, it's okay."

"Lord Xun, someone visited you yesterday morning, how did you arrange for His Majesty's Dragon Birthday?" Xin Delong asked.

"The matter of the Dragon Birthday is something we Jingzhaoyin must supervise. Now Chang'an County, Changle County, and the two counties strictly inspect the personnel in the workshop. They must go door-to-door, and do not allow traitors to enter, and do a good job of strict inspection and prevention. From today onwards, all those who enter the capital in the capital must have the formalities of the past merchants, and they must drive to inspect the goods, and the cattle and horses must be inspected, so there must be no mistakes." Xun Darren said humanely.

"Hey? Why are Lord Xun's clothes wet?" Qin Feng asked.

"Hiss? What did you do?" Master Xun looked at his arm, "Maybe he accidentally knocked over the wine jar when he came here. Let's not talk about that, come, let's drink."

Zheng Nian was busy, looking at Xin Delong, "Master, is it true or not?"

"So what if it's real? So what if it's fake?" Xin Delong laughed.

"I got it." Zheng Nian laughed.

"Master Xun has a philosophy of life, you have to listen to it." Xin Delong raised his glass and drank it down.

Master Xun said with a smile, "Yes, I would rather do nothing than make mistakes."

Zheng Nian raised his glass and drank together, "It's amazing, this is the way of an official, it's really admirable."

'No wonder the people in the capital can't afford to live. ' Zheng Nian sighed inwardly.

After drinking for three rounds, all the officials began to toast around the table, full of compliments, and also praised Zheng Nian, what is the best county magistrate in the capital city in the past century, what can be made, and the future can be expected , What is the official career, there is a lot to do, anyway, good words are to rely on.

At about the same time, Master Xun arranged for several people to enter the inner hall.

This is a small inner hall, a round table is rich in melons and fruits, and there is a lot of wine, full of fragrance.

Everyone from Chang'an County also followed and sat down with several core officials of Jingzhao Mansion.

"There are many famous songs in Beijing, and there are naturally many who can sing famous songs, but if you want to talk about the No. 1 role in Beijing, it is naturally the person selected by His Majesty." Master Xun introduced to several people with a smile, "I'm afraid you don't know yet?"

Qin Feng said, "If you don't know, tell me."

Master Xun said humanely, "Your Majesty hand-picked the one who entered the hall to sing on the day of the Dragon's Birthday yesterday. It is the No. 1 prostitute in Beijing, Yutangchun."

"Fan Dai in the Six Palaces has no color, who doesn't know Yutangchun." Qin Feng smiled innocently, "Today I am honored to see the demeanor of the No.1 prostitute in Beijing."

"Everyone can get a reward." Lord Xun cupped his hands.

The door of the room was slowly opened, and an arm surrounded by colorful jade pushed away the veil. The girl stepped aside and gave everyone a back view. She lifted her pink cloth shoes slightly and stepped into the room.

Every time her appearance will not be particularly amazing, but every time it will make people remember and leave a deep impression.

Fu Yuhuan's eyes flickered.

Qian Haoduo tilted his head to look at Fu Yuhuan.

She had never seen such an expression on this indifferent boss, a smile with slightly upward lips, a smile she had never seen before, and she had never seen such a smile at any time.

There seemed to be a sweet secret hidden in that smile.

Qian Haoduo has never felt so uncomfortable in his body.

Jiang Ming found that the appearance of a lot of money was a bit strange, but he didn't say anything, and rubbed against Zhang Buer, "How is it?"

"What's the matter?" Zhang Bu'er was looking down at the Zhuyeqing in his hand, "wine? I've never drank such a sweet Zhuyeqing. I guess the winemaking technology and vintage are very sophisticated. It should be written by a celebrity. Unexpectedly. Mr. Xun actually still has such strength, I never drank such a good wine back then, but yes, there are only Peach Blossom Noodles and Xinghuachun in Xinghualou, and there is no other wine."

"I asked you how Yutangchun is doing." Jiang Ming said.

"Brother, you don't know much. Let me tell you, I was a frequent visitor in Xinghualou back then. When these girls saw me, they were as polite and filial as if they were seeing their own father. Tired of listening." Zhang Buer said.

"I mean looks." Jiang Ming said impatiently.

"It's not as good as one out of ten of my little fairies." Zhang Buer raised his head and sneered, "Bland and tasteless."

Jiang Ming cut out, "Let me meet your little fairy someday, little fairy, little fairy, no one can see her once."

"When I see you, I will know what is the best in the world. Let me tell you." Zhang Buer lowered his voice, "Even if it is our wife, it is not as good as three out of ten."

Jiang Ming snorted, "Master, let me tell you something..."

"What are you doing!" Zhang Buer immediately stopped Jiang Ming.

"Today I rewarded you three taels of silver." Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows with joy.

"Here you are." Zhang Buer looked dejected.
