Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 208 Banquet
In fact, Cheng Shilian and Xin Pinggong, who are the top snakes in Luodu, showed efficiency in this matter much faster than Jiang Tian expected.Just as the sky was getting dark, Cheng Shilian had already sent someone to deliver the news; he had already lived in a small and well-known restaurant/Xiangui near Yuepi, occupying the entire top floor.

Therefore, when Jiang Tian and his party came to Mingyifang in a light car, they saw Cheng Shilian and Xin Gonggong who were in charge of the matter, already standing downstairs waiting and greeting each other.The moment he saw them, Jiang Tian also handed over a tie; it was to transfer Cheng Shilian, who was still selected by the Ministry of Officials, to his subordinates to co-organize it in the name of the secret censor department.

"Thank you for your success!" Cheng Shilian couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this, which also meant that most of his biggest problems and crises at the moment were resolved; the rest was the follow-up operation of his own family. Things are completely settled.When Xin Gonggong saw this, he was more sincerely happy than him and said: "Congratulations, brother Shi Lian."

"Come on, don't just be happy, you have a share too." However, Jiang Tian took out another share, put it directly into Xin Fairy's hand and said, "This...this..." Xin Fairy said I couldn't help being a little stunned, but turned into a wry smile and sighed: "I...why do you value being a noble official so much!"

"Since you have seen it with your own eyes, don't you want to do something about the beast disaster that has arisen in this world?" Jiang Tian said indifferently: "Of course, this is comparable to the step-by-step torture in Yuan County, another state. Seniority, a stable parent officer, is much more exciting and thrilling. It's normal for you to have concerns."

"Your official was joking, if I don't know it, that's fine; but now that I know there is such a danger in the world, how can I ignore it? I can only obey my orders and try my best." Xin Gongping was even more helpless when he heard the words Dao: Although he knew that this was not unreasonable, he still accepted it unavoidably.

In other words, in the first half of his relatively stable life, he learned the superficial principles of managing the world and helping the people; but he always had a vigorous mind that was unwilling to be lonely.Now the sudden appearance of this nobleman finally allowed him to see a change and a turning point.Cheng Shilian even hooked his shoulders happily and said, "Since it's a good thing, let's let you and I enjoy ourselves tonight!"

Of course, using one of the six subordinates under the supervisor's name to win over these two; it's not Jiang Tian's whim.Xin Gonggong, who has just entered the official career, still retains the distinctive character of being eager to do justice and being a hero; although Cheng Shilian is somewhat utilitarian in appointments, he also has a sense of proportion in distinguishing right from wrong, and has a sophisticated approach to human feelings;

Therefore, these two people, one inside and one outside, are the most suitable candidates at the moment as co-organizers/assistants who take care of general affairs.It is better than being recommended by others. It needs to be re-recognized and understood, re-cultivated and win over newcomers.Although it is said that it is necessary to rely on the power of the system, Jiang Tian does not intend to spend too much energy on in-depth development and progress in the officialdom.

Under such circumstances, Jiang Tian wants to be worry-free in his daily activities, or not to be distracted by trivial matters, and even be held back by others.It is necessary to share the daily affairs and powers and gradually hand them over to reliable and capable subordinates; this is also the opportunity to give them personal advancement; it depends on the other party's ability to understand and grasp it in time.

Afterwards, as the nominal convener of the banquet, Jiang Tian also checked the passed menu presented by the proprietor himself, asked the suggestions of two new subordinates who are locals, and selected several wines with matching colors; I came to the top floor of the fourth floor where the curtains, partitions, and screen fans were removed.Then the jiyue music belonging to the restaurant also began to play.

Amidst the clear sounds of the performances of these traditional music, Lin Jiulang, who arrived first, led a group of subordinates; they almost spontaneously divided the roles to take on the role of welcoming and summoning.Immediately afterwards, Zhu Jieshi of Jinwuwei led Chen Wentai and others holding a gift box; and then Liu Jingchang of Zuowuwei, judging from his clothes and accessories, he seemed to have been promoted...

As locals, Cheng Shilian and Xin Gongping took on the warm-up duties of accompanying the guests, constantly creating topics and enlivening the atmosphere.On the contrary, Linghu Xiaomu, who was especially handsome in men's clothes, knelt behind the Jiangpan with his eyebrows lowered and pleasing to the eye; he was almost silent during the banquet, but it made people feel extraordinarily natural.

In fact, with the atmosphere of this banquet, it gradually became lively and lively.Murong Wu, who finally completed the official office at Yushitai, also came uninvited upon hearing the news.And the representative Xiantai, who was very familiar with himself, joined the feast of laughter and laughter.This drink made the night dark when the Jade Rabbit was hanging high, and all the talents were able to part ways.

During the period, along with Zhu Jieshi, Liu Jingchang and others who attended the banquet with the highest status, they left one after another with Xun Ran supporting them to say goodbye.The rest of the subordinates, old and new, were also able to let loose more and more; they passed food and wine to people again, and started a new round of banquet activities.But this time, even Linghu Xiaomu, who was acting as a shadow behind Jiang Tian, ​​was not spared.

When Li Huan was very winking, he charged in advance and drove away a few sergeants who were said to be seriously hungover; In the end, Linghu Xiaomu, who was left alone with a smudged face, seemed to have no choice but to ride back with Jiang Tian besides walking.

"Supervisor Jiang, you must be deliberate." Linghu Xiaomu, who was leaning forward on the railing and squeezed out of sharp curves, could not help squinting with blurred eyes: I thought this person spoke so eloquently during the day , I didn't expect to take advantage of the situation so quickly, and hit the snake with the stick.

"This is only for the benevolent to see the benevolent and the wise to see wisdom, and those who doubt will naturally be born with ghosts." Jiang Tian who was beside him smiled at her with a magnanimous heart: "It's okay if you find it inconvenient, I will lead the horse to accompany you. On the last ride, I thought the hangover was over."

"Just walking, nothing else?" Linghu Xiaomu raised his hand and weighed his forehead with faint eyes, and said suspiciously:
"Of course, otherwise, what else do you want? I'm not that kind of casual person." Jiang Tian smiled slightly: After all, the last time you gave me a gift, is it still fresh in my memory?
"..." Linghu Xiaomu was speechless and angry when he heard the words, thinking that I am just a casual person; but thinking of that encounter on the street, the experience of being forced to swim with his arms like a ghost, he couldn't help feeling a little itchy .

However, Linghu Xiaomu certainly wanted to keep a proper distance to show his reserve and firmness.However, it seems that it is because of the sangluo wine brewed by the restaurant, the stamina continues to be picked up after a while, so that she has not gone far, and soon her top-heavy figure swayed, but she had to fall down again. Among the supporting arms.

Then, she found that she was unable to push away the man's helping hand; then she relied on him helplessly and complicatedly, and continued to walk for a long distance under the cool moonlight of the night dew.However, the alcoholism didn't seem to get any better.Then, Linghu Xiaomu was unceremoniously helped onto the horse's back.

Just when she couldn't help holding the horse's mane and trying to stabilize her figure, she heard the faint sound of Yi Yi's wind;Just like a child who was taught how to ride a horse for the first time, after hugging her hand in hand and side by side, she began to slowly speed up the ride, and suddenly choked back the strange sound that she was about to utter.

Because during the bumps and swaying, she had to hug the horse's back with all her strength to ensure that she would not fall; then she could only helplessly let someone hug her back tightly, and put her hands on her straight and plump thighs Go... When Linghu Xiaomu regained his sanity, he was already drenched in sweat when he was lifted off the stationary horse.

However, she didn't even know what happened on horseback during this absent-minded time, or if nothing seemed to happen.Then he was lifted up by his legs again, and under the swaying lights, he walked through the hall and courtyard in a daze, and was sent to a clean-smelling guest room, where he was just covered with a thin silk quilt.

The sound of footsteps closing the door went away, and half a sound later.Her breathing gradually became rapid, and she suddenly opened her eyes and got up to touch her clothes; although it was a bit messy, she was still basically dressed.Can't help but spit slightly; I feel like I've been rejected.Then he hugged his knees and leaned against the corner of the wall, shrugging his shoulders lightly.

At the same time, Jiang Tian had already changed his luggage in a single thought, shuttled between the city squares shrouded in night, and started a new round of night tour.Because at tonight's banquet, it was rare for Cheng Shilian to let go of his worries. After getting drunk, he inadvertently mentioned a family benefactor, a powerful figure called Yinhou, which caught his attention.

Not only because this hermit, who has neither official status nor office, nor princely vassal, is just an empty duke (marquis) who has been handed down for three generations; The guest of honor, the most popular high-roller in the entertainment venue.It was even rumored that there was a lot of manipulation behind the scenes, involving the relocation and dismissal of officials in the capital;

And this Yin Hou was also the referrer and recommender of many members of the Qingzheng Division after the establishment of the Qingzheng Division; he was also the one who recommended him to the Qingzheng Division after receiving the courtesy of the Cheng family's official position.What's more, because Cheng Shilian said that when he was still in Chang'an Qinwei Mansion, the alias he used... was called "Linglang".

That's right, it was the name that the owner of the ghost market, Xiao Ding, the feudal lord of the Xiao clan, gesticulated at the last moment before he died of poison.This made Jiang Tian suddenly think.In comparison, the impulsiveness brought about by mere hormones is really insignificant; it will only hinder him from completing the task guidance and gaining the opportunity to become stronger.

　A new round of nucleic acid testing will start tomorrow, and my insomnia and neurasthenia will worsen again
