Emperor Yongzheng

Chapter One
Yangzhou is indispensable for visiting Sanwu, and Hongqiao is indispensable for cultivating Yangzhou.Hongqiao is a place that faces a lake and a river, is adjacent to the "Changdi Spring Willows" in the west, and faces the "Hepu Xunfeng" in the east. Hongqiao Pavilion, Shuguang Tower, Laixun Hall, Haiyun Shrine...many resorts lie across it, with pink walls and green tiles. Bamboo trees, sky, wind, clouds, mountains, lakes and lakes can all be seen with just a boat. It was originally the most beautiful place in the northern suburbs of Weiyang.The natural beauty of this natural scenery attracts wanderers and scholars who have left their hometowns to come here to clear away the accumulated dirt in their chests, and never want to leave.If we talk about customs, it's another thing.There is a temple in the north of Qiao with a strange name. It is called "Hongqiao Lingtu Temple". Every year in the first two months of the year, a temple ceremony is held. The common name is "Zengfu Wealth God Meeting".During the festival, merchants from the city arrived early, set up mat tents here and there, and set up a market around the temple of the earth god. They played a variety of tricks, guessed words, and made predictions for a mile or two. , gongs and drums, "I'm about to hit you", ditties, beach reeds, dialogues, Taoist sentiments, comments, ten drums... It's noisy, there are boats under the lake, and pilgrims on the shore are like ants, singing high and low. The snack seller shouted:
"Wu Fengsheng's fried tofu—who wants it? Kangxi Lafayette Jinkou personally tasted it, and awarded it to a close minister!"

"Go fried chicken - Tianjia go fried chicken! Crispy and tender!"

"Fatty Shi fried pork with pear shreds, if you don't eat it, you haven't come to Yangzhou!"

"Wang Jiugong's stewed sturgeon - one of the best in the world..."

"Pork head meat, pig head meat! Jiangichiro ten kinds of pork head meat!"

... All these things made the temple fair even more lively like gruel.

This is the spring in the 46th year of Kangxi. Just after February [-], the atmosphere in Yangzhou is warm, and the banks of Hongqiao are already full of spring flowers, and the grass is green.A disabled person on crutches left the "Peixin Inn" in the south of the bridge, walked slowly, and followed the bustling crowd of people onto Hongqiao.

His name is Wu Sidao, a well-known talent in Wuxi, Lianzhan Lianjie in the government and township examinations, and he is the first among all the scholars.In the 36th year of Kangxi's reign, he took the Nanjing Chunwei Examination, and after three rounds, his prose, policy theory, and poetry were all well done.When he appeared on the stage, he thought that even if he was not among the top five, he would still be in the top ten.Unexpectedly, on the imperial list, the word "Wu Sidao" is actually at the bottom of the secondary list!Furious, Wu Sidao inquired carefully, only to find out that Zuo Yuxing, the chief examiner, and Zhao Taiming, the deputy chief examiner, were both making money. Except for the care and entrustment of the elders in the court, they were all based on filial piety, and the ranking was based on quality. Old man does not deceive!Wu Sidao relied on his ability to pull a hard bow and refused to hit the wooden clock to gain camp, so he naturally lost his name to Sun Shan.Wu Sidao was originally arrogant and arrogant, so he was so angry that he gathered more than [-] candidates who had failed the rankings, carried the God of Wealth into the Nanjing Tribute Court, and spread postings all over the city, accusing Zuo and Zhao of taking bribes and corrupting the country. The dog's head was bloody, and the Nanjing examination room was turned upside down.He made a big fuss and walked away, so bitter that the governor of Jiangnan was demoted two grades in a row because he couldn't get him as the "principal offender". Zuo and Zhao were dismissed from office and "never use them"-the lawsuit went all the way to the Forbidden City. In front of Emperor Kangxi, Mingzhu and Suo'etu, the two powerful ministers, almost fell to the ground.Therefore, the imperial court strictly ordered the provinces to apprehend him, the "principal criminal" who caused the trouble.Now that Mingzhu has long since confiscated her family identity, Suo Ertu plans to force Kangxi to abdicate as the crown prince, and he is imprisoned after the incident.Wu Sidao, who lived in seclusion in Qingxu Taoist Temple in Wuyi Mountain, knew that the Queen Mother had passed away and gave amnesty to the world, so he dared to show up and return to his long-lost hometown of Sanwu—but his two legs were cut by some water bandits on the way to escape. Discounted.

Wu Sidao got on the bridge, stopped and looked back with a sense of loss, a wry smile appeared on his clear face.Coming back from the secluded valley for the first time to this world of fireworks troubles the world, it really feels like a world away.Wu Sidao muttered in his mouth: "White poplars and green grass, wind and rain are sad, every ten years, this tree is embraced..."

"Hey! Isn't this Mr. Jingren?" Someone behind suddenly said, "Where have you been all these years? Why are you here alone?" When Wu Sidao looked back, this man was in his 30s, fair-skinned, with a fat face , with two black mustaches, a six-in-one hat with a red velvet top on his head, a buttoned vest over an indigo jacket, and a black embroidered belt with piping around his waist. He is smartly dressed.After a long while, Wu Sidao remembered that it was Xiaolian Dai Duo from Daijiawan from his hometown, because he smiled and said: "Xiang Ling, so it was you! Ten years ago, you competed with Gao's family for the feng shui land in Niuwan, and you lost the lawsuit and fell. You’re like a beggar—now that you’re so wealthy, you don’t even dare to admit it!” Dai Duo grinned, and said, “Scholar’s ​​three-day box will be admirable, let alone ten years! Speaking of the twists and turns here, it’s really hard to describe—— Don’t be afraid, Brother Jing, you laugh, now I’m working as a servant in Beijing! Come on, let me introduce you to Brother Wu!”

Wu Sidao followed Dai Duo down the bridge, feeling suspicious in his heart: Although this Dai Duo lost his family, he is also a scholarly family, and someone who has achieved fame, how could he become a servant of an adult family?As he thought about it, he followed him, and he saw a 25-year-old young man standing by the stone railing under the bridge. He was not unusually dressed, only wearing a gray poplin ermine jacket, moon white trousers, and a pair of black rushes on his feet. The thousand-ply-soled cloth shoes, although not luxurious, are clean and spotless.The young man stood leaning on the railing, with a shiny black braid hanging down his waist, he watched them approaching with a half-smile, and just about to speak, Dai Duo beat him down a thousand times, and said: "Fourth Master, this is the one you often Wu Sidao, Mr. Wu who was talking about it, but Qiaoer was met by a slave today! ——Oh, this is our Fourth Master Yin, everyone in Beijing knows that the eighteen imperial merchants are ranked fourth!"

"Yin Zhen." The young man smiled slightly, with a pair of black and angry pupils flickering under his eight-character eyebrows, and said, "You can call me Yueming Layman—dare to ask Mr. Wu about his name?" Look at Wu Sidao.Wu Sidao couldn't help being startled: How can there be such a big-hearted person, who would bring out the tuba as soon as they meet, and ask others to call himself "Yueming Layman"!But he said with a smile, "I don't have a number. If you're happy, call me Jingren."

Yin Zhen bowed slightly, gave up his hand and said, "I have admired your name for a long time - even my father appreciates your talent and learning very much! How about condescending to walk together?" When Wu Sidao heard that he was an imperial merchant, he was initially bored. Yes, but this fourth master Yin had a calm and quiet demeanor in his eyes, without any vulgarity of businessman, so he couldn't help but nodded.Yin Zhen said calmly as he walked: "Sir, I am not flattering you. When your post spread to Beijing, it really moved the capital! I remember that there were epigrams about Zuo Yuxing and Zhao Taiming in it - the court treats them Don't be so thin... How absurd are the two gentlemen's intentions? Don't you just think that the sky is like thunder, and the eyes are like lightning? Woohoo! To warn the ink officials in the world! The scholars set up the purple wall and keep silent. Once a righteous scholar stands up, or stabs him under the gate, or kills him in the chariot, he will hear it from all over the world, and he will not laugh at the fact that there is no scholar-bureaucrat?— ——How heartily and vividly this is written, I really scold the world for being a vegetarian! No wonder the holy majesty is so angry that he praises it again!" Dai Duo also jokingly said: "It's hard for the master to remember it so clearly, but the slave only remembers the couplet ——Zuo Qiuming has blind eyes, can't tell black and white but recognizes his brother; Zhao Zilong is brave, but seeing Kong Fang is his father!" "Really!" Yin Zhen seemed to have become a little more easy-going, and said with a smile: "Long live At that time, the master picked it up and said, "This man's handwriting is very strong." "

"Huh?" Wu Sidao shuddered all over, staring at Yin Zhen and Dai Duo, suddenly suspicious.This posted couplet spread all over the world that day, it is not unusual for the two of them to be able to recite it.For these two people, one is an "imperial merchant" and the other is a servant, it is quite surprising that they even knew the attitude of the emperor at that time.Reminiscing that Dai Duo was also a celebrity in the past, he was willing to bow himself down as a slave in front of this "fourth master" without any sense of shame, and he had already vaguely guessed that this extremely trim Yin Zhen was by no means an easy person!But the other party refused to tell the truth, and Wu Sidao couldn't ask Duan the truth, so he smiled lightly and said, "It's no wonder that my dear brother is so kind and remembers it so clearly! I really feel like I have met an old friend in a foreign land! However, I have lived in the mountains for ten years and read a little. Books, the idea used to be used as a stepping-stone article for fame and fame, I feel blush when I think about it, stereotyped articles mistakenly make all the heroes of the world..." After finishing speaking, he sighed silently.Seeing Wu Sidao's emotion, Dai Duo changed the subject and said, "Fourth Master, didn't you say that you would go to the market to buy two children this morning? This shop is not bad. You two go in for a drink and chat. I will wait on you after I come back from work How about it?" Yin Zhen smiled and said, "What is that urgent matter! It will be too late to do it tomorrow? Come on, let's go in and sit down!"

When Wu Sidao looked up, he saw a wine shop in front of him, resting on the top of the mountain, while pressing water, while leaning against the post station, it seemed that it was newly built, and the carved eaves pierced the sky and the cornices were magnificent, and the gilded black plaque was written "Sky Light Lake Shadow" Four words.Dai Duo couldn't help saying: "Good words!"

"The handwriting is not bad," Wu Sidao looked at it carefully, and said to Yin Zhen with a smile, "but the style of the brushwork is too charming, and there is no bone in the edge, so it can't be regarded as a high-quality work." Yin Zhen also nodded and said: "What Mr. said is, The charm of the words is not enough." While speaking, the two followed Dai Duo in.

Yin Zhen saw that the downstairs was so lively and noisy, he couldn't help frowning, and said, "This is too messy, let's go upstairs!" The waiter was stunned, and smiled apologetically: "Three masters, please bear with me. The newcomer The Taizun Master Che Mingche is having a banquet upstairs today, it is inconvenient upstairs. If you think the downstairs is noisy, there is still an empty private seat over there, facing the lake and facing the window, you can also enjoy the scenery..." Then Before he finished speaking, Dai Duo laughed and said: "Don't fart! I have been here more than once, and there are three or four elegant seats on the upper floor! Everyone has their own wine, who can hinder who?" He took out a silver cake and threw it away.When the clerk took it and looked at it, it was a piece of "true circle", which was five or two heavy, with a fine and deep white background, frost on the edge, and a serious pattern of nine or eight colors of silver, and immediately smiled and bowed Said: "Grandpa, the clip is broken in the store, I'm afraid I can't find it."

"You will be rewarded if you have more!" Dai Duo said, "You can arrange it for us upstairs!" The man narrowed his eyes into a slit with a smile, and said, "Thank you for the reward! To be honest, there is still a reward upstairs." There is no private seat in the room. It was originally said that Mr. Wei of Yixing Hall had made an appointment. Since the master must go, the little one dares to make the decision. Just don’t make any noise. The new Tai Zun has a bad temper, so don’t disturb his old man. Yaxing, it's because the masters take pity on the villain."

The three of them followed the waiter upstairs and saw that they were separated by a screen and there was an empty seat on the west side.After ordering the dishes, I ordered boneless fish, antique soup, fish paste, and crab noodles to go with it.Seeing Dai Duo standing nearby, Yin Zhen didn't dare to sit down. He raised his glass to Wu Sidao and asked for a drink. He smiled and said, "It's true that money can help the gods. It's really a good fate that I can drink with Mr. Jingren at the same table today. You are old friends, so Dai Duo doesn't have to set any rules. You can only have a good time when you don't have any traces of wine!" After saying that, the two of them raised their glasses and drank together, and Dai Duo Fang sat down without hesitation.

It’s the time of Sipai, the sun outside the building is shining brightly, the lake is rippling, the willows are blowing in the spring breeze, and various cruise ships such as painting boats, sand flying, awnings, and floating on water are connected one after the other. , The three of them sat in a restaurant enjoying the scenery and chatting, and soon they were drinking and drinking.First, I listened to a group of people next door flattering the prefect of the car, "Get out of the car in Yangzhou, the lawsuit is equal, the government is smooth, and the people are harmonious." Then they talked about Yangzhou's lacquerware, paper-cutting, jade carving, and clay sculpture. Impatient, a burst of pipa came through the wall, and then a woman's charming voice sang softly and gracefully:
Yangzhou is good...the first one is Hongqiao.The willows are green and the rain is three feet high, the cherries are red with a flute, and orchids are everywhere... Drunk holding a boat on the lake, the lamp shadow watching the dim moonlight in the street, the evening wind blowing on the tops of the children...

"Invite your friends to visit the prostitutes, and get on the lake boat with your concubine." Yin Zhen sighed with emotion, "Nowadays, the world is truly deplorable. It has only been more than half a year since the Empress Dowager passed away, and there is nothing wrong with people here!"

Wu Sidao drank a few glasses of wine, and his pale face turned red. Seeing that Yin Zhen felt lost, he smiled and said: "This is 'relatives or Yu Bei, others have already sung'! No matter what kind of people are in the family, there is no exception! Mr. Why be sad? For example, you and I, and Che Ming next door, sitting in the red building, facing the green sleeves, admiring the beautiful scenery, listening to the songs, we know that half a mile away is the city of people! Refugees in Baoying, Shanyang are crying out for hunger Han washes his face with tears, sells himself for food and clothing but can't get it-if the heart is not the same, the love will naturally be different!" After finishing speaking, he raised his chopsticks and hit the bowl and sang loudly:

Yutang is dissatisfied with pride and emptiness, and looks pitifully at the east of Hongqiao.

In the past, the scholars stayed in vain, and today they no longer meet each other.

Pushing the pillow with sword eyebrows and staring at Xiaoyue, Wu hook on the railing is cold and cold.

Only Geng Geng still knows how hard it is to shed tears for Yong Ye!
After singing, he applauded and laughed, but couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.

Yin Zhen is already crazy.Wu Sideo's suspicion was good. He was not an ordinary person, let alone an "emperor businessman." He was actually Aixinjueluo, the fourth prince of the emperor who was under the emperor?Yinzhen, who has sealed Baylor, is truly a dragon and phoenix grandson. Because of his cold and severe nature, he is known as the "Cold-faced King" in the capital.This time, he was sent to Anhui Province to supervise the river work. Because the rivers in Gaojiayan and Baoying areas were bursting, he came to Yangzhou to transport grain to help the victims.He had heard about Wu Sidao's talent for a long time, and when he met him this time, he was disappointed to see that he was disabled. Now seeing Wu Sidao in a drunken and dissolute manner, with an elegant, unrestrained and heroic demeanor, he couldn't help but feel pity and admiration for him, and thought about it. He was unjust and outspoken and offended the court, which was not tolerated by the world. He had no hope of reentering the official career for the rest of his life, and he suddenly felt sad.Yin was just thinking about finding words to comfort him. When the screen moved, a man dressed in casual clothes came in, but he said nothing. He stared at the three people for a while with his eyebrows raised, and then asked: "Which gentleman was singing just now, and mentioned What's the name of Mr. Che? Please take a step to speak. Our master is here to invite you!" Yin leaned back on the chair, holding the wine glass with one hand, and glanced at Dai Duo. Dai Duo quickly stood up and was about to speak. Wu Sidao had already set up his crutches:
"You are not talented! Che Ming and I were on the same list of Xiaolian and were literary friends in the same society. Why - I can't call him a taboo?" He brought wine, his expression was cold and arrogant, and his attendants were frightened by his demeanor. I was a little discouraged. I heard that the head of my family was the same age, and I saw Yin sitting cross-legged and Dai Duo standing calmly. I didn't know where he came from, so I was a little at a loss.

While I was in a daze, I heard someone shouting from the next door: "Come on! Remove the screen in the middle. Do you know who Nian is?" Then I heard a group of people chirping in agreement, and a few people gently lifted the screen. Moved to one side, the seats were opened up in an instant, forming one large room.When Yin sneered slightly and sipped the fragrant tea, there were three rooms in the dining room opposite, but there was only one banquet. There were cold dishes, peacock's tail, lily and crabapple soup, a bowl of ice flower tremella dew, and dozens of delicate snacks with plum blossoms spread like beads. Rows around, the main dish in the big bowl in the middle is steamed whole lamb with milk - Jie lamb dug out of the womb: this is one of the four famous dishes in Yangzhou - steamed whole lamb with Zhang Sihuizi.Seven or eight famous people invited to sit with him were sitting next to them. In the middle was an official who was wearing a white pheasant patchwork suit with eight pythons and five claws. He was not wearing a big hat. His sleek braids hung straight down from the back of the chair. His round face was so fat that his chin The meat on the plate was hanging, and it looked like he had drunk too much wine. He was staring sideways with his oily face.Wu Sidao took a step forward with his crutches, cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Che Ming, it's been a long time!"

"Ah ho, isn't this Wu Sidao!" Che Ming's eyes lit up, and he sat upright all of a sudden, "Who am I supposed to be! It turned out to be Sun Xingzhe who made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace! Did the gossip furnace fall down, or did the Buddha not pay attention? You got rid of the mountain-suppressing curse of Wuxing Mountain, and you came out again—let me introduce to you: Look at this one, wearing crutches, moving like a beautiful girl swinging on a swing, standing like a jade tree from Xiejia, with a bookish look. It was amazing back then, my brother didn’t dare to hold his own! It really shocked everyone with a single word! Back then—”

"Back then, my classmates formed an association and made stereotypes." Wu Sidao listened quietly to his teasing, and grabbed the words with a broken face and smiled tightly, "The title is 'ambiguous'. It seems to be Brother Che, who wrote 'female' next to the word 'day' ’, the opening chapter was amazing; when I said, ‘My sister, I think about it’, I had no choice but to say, ‘Brother, you are wrong!

One sentence made everyone burst into laughter.Several celebrities hunched over and stumbled, laughing so hard that they couldn't catch their breath. Yin squirted all the wine on Dai Duo. Several singers covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and staggered with laughter. .

"Did you remember it wrong?" Che Ming blushed and forced a smile, "I was selected as the top [-] in the imperial examination, and I traveled all over the south of the Yangtze River. How could I make such a mistake?— ——Seeing you today is also considered an old friend reunion. Youdao is a friend who is poor and humble. I will drink three hundred cups with you! Those two—er—please come here, come here!”

Dai Duo saw Yin shaking his head and said reservedly: "We also met Mr. Jingren, please help yourself. It seems that you want a paper, and we will watch the battle." Wu Sidao walked back to Yin's table, picked up a glass of wine, and said with a smile, "What if Being an official can help you gain knowledge, and there can be no books in the world. Today you are just proud of your wealth, don't you know that I, a poor and humble person, can also be proud of others! For example, this wine, when I drink it, it is wine, and when you drink it, it is disaster. This difference, I wonder if you understand?"

"Well?"

Wu Sidao raised his face slightly, and said in a deep voice: "My wine is taken from Yan Yuan's grain in Guo's field, and it is thrown into the mortar rented by Liang Hong. It is measured for talents, filled with brains, soaked in the water of Lianquan, and the good medicine is good. Qu, the straight wood is the trough, drink it with the cup of Yao and the goblet of Kong. Therefore, drinking this wine, the pure one can be holy, and the turbid one can be virtuous! Your wine is different. The water from the spring, the grandson of the prince burns the stove, and the red scarf and emerald sleeves wash the utensils. If you drink a cup by mistake, the honest will be greedy, the prudent will be crazy, the wise will lose their hearing, and the bright will become blind—isn’t this a disaster?”

"You are still so shameless!" Che Ming wanted to insult Wu Sidao with a few words and then gave up, but unexpectedly he was insulted by Wu Sidao, his face turned pale with anger, he gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "How can I be greedy when I buy wine with my salary? ""You make fun of me, so naturally I can respect you." Wu Sidao said indifferently, "With your current status, how dare I wrong you? You are the prefect of Yangzhou, and there are hungry people everywhere in the territory, waiting for food, but you are here to have fun Have fun! The sages have said: There are people in the four lands who are uneasy, and it is the responsibility of guarding the shepherd. Did I say you wrong? Although I study behind closed doors and don’t ask about world affairs, I also know that there are more and more things about the world. It’s better to be tough than to be hard--I remember when I visited Zhongyue Temple together, you pointed at the King Kong in front of the gate and asked me to compose a poem. At that time, I wrote a poem and said, "King Kong is a lump of mud, and you are bullied by teeth and claws. People say you are a tough guy. Dare to take a bath with me? 'Brother Che, do you dare?" After saying that, he laughed loudly.Che Ming slapped the table with a "snap", wanted to have an attack but suppressed it, and said with a sly smile, "Jingren, have you never heard of 'the magistrate of the broken family, the magistrate of the exterminated family'?"

Wu Sidao smiled and said, "Why don't you know such a vulgar proverb? That day when Huan Wen visited the temple, the monks didn't worship. Huan Wen said, 'Have you never seen a general who kills without blinking an eye?' The monk asked back, 'Have you ever seen a monk who is not afraid of beheading?' Today is a prosperous age, this place is a famous city and a big county, you are deceiving people today, what am I afraid of you? What's more, I am wandering all over the world and alone, with no relatives who are expected to be powerful and close, and no children who are five feet away from the door, and I have no home. It can be broken and there is no way to destroy it!"

"Presumptuous!" Che Ming was furious, and shouted, "You have been filial, and it is a crime to be arrogant and rude in front of your parents! Hmph! I don't believe that you can't shave your thorny head! Didn't you say that my wine Is it a 'disaster'? Come!"

"exist!"

"Food him!"

"twitter!"

Yin's blood suddenly rushed to his face, and his eyes were shining with fire.Emperor Kangxi was very strict in his upbringing and ordered his elder brother not to make friends with foreign officials or interfere in local government affairs. The emperor's eldest son Yin was sent to Wuhu and scolded a county magistrate. When he returned, he had an East Pearl removed from his head, so he had no intention of causing trouble. .He also knew this Che Ming. Yesterday he saw in the Di newspaper that he was ranked third among the three "excellent" people in the official newspaper. He was considered a top official, but who knew he was so domineering below!Seeing that Wu Sidao was about to suffer a loss, a flash of light flashed in Yin's eyes. Dai Duo immediately understood and took a step forward to speak, but Wu Sidao said, "Xiang Ling, I can handle this myself." Then he turned to Che Ming and said with a smile: "You are so deceiving. Me, do you think I am disabled and unable to enter the official career again? If I have not removed my honor, even if I am not a Jinshi, I am afraid you will not dare to look down upon me, right?"

"That's right. I'm just making fun of you today!" Che Ming squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "A few glasses of wine is fined, at most it's a crime of flirting. What's the matter?" Down, I have to bow my head'. I will drink this cup of disaster water. But first I will give you a poem, I wonder if you can accept it?"

His words were neither soft nor hard, they seemed to be pleading and teasing, and everyone was stunned.Wu Sidao sighed slightly and walked to the case where the four treasures of the study were placed. He held his sleeve with one hand and held a pen in the other. He thought for a while and wrote a few words in succession.When Che Ming stretched out his head to look, there were five words "bitter" connected to it. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Sooner or later, will you know how bitter it is? You have to know something about current affairs, how can I make it difficult for you?" Wu Sidao ignored it. A book about tube diseases:
The heavens are bitter and bitter, and the Virgin Mary has passed away in less than a year.

The grass and trees in the mountains and rivers are still full of tears, and the prefect of Yangzhou is drinking and singing!
——Scholar Wu Sidao from Wuxi
After finishing the exhibition paper, I blew it, walked to the window, looked at it, turned around and smiled and said: "I am a sad and sick scholar, but I want to beat you, the black hat of the country! This poem is for my dear friend. In other words, it’s not like the post I wrote in the Gongyuan back then! You have violated the law of the Qing Dynasty by bringing prostitutes to sing and paint the building during the national funeral today, you know?”

No one was prepared for this down-and-out scholar to have such a skill. Everyone in the building was stunned and sat speechless.Yin was startled for a moment, then realized in his heart that his eyes were shining brightly: This is really an unparalleled talent!After a long time, Che Mingfang stammered and asked, "You...what do you want to do?"

"I want to—" Wu Sidao looked downstairs, "What should I say? There are so many people downstairs! I saw a piece of poetry floating down from the upstairs. Based on my name, Wu Sidao wrote it again. Prefect of the county, within three days, the whole of Yangzhou will know about you. If there happens to be an elder brother of the emperor or a minister or something, or an official such as a censor or an inspector, who is worried about the merits of the inspector His homework, maybe even the original poem can be played out today—my dear brother, Wu Mou will live and die with you, share honor and disgrace..." After finishing speaking, he laughed.

Seeing him shaking his hands while talking, Che Ming was really afraid that if this idiot let go of his hands, he would immediately cause endless troubles!Don't say that there is really a yellow-belt elder brother living in the city now, and there are many opponents in the provincial court department. During the national funeral, Gao Le'er brought prostitutes. .There are no such troubles, the common people's word of mouth is like iron, singing, and the three-year inspection is the proof of the pinch!Thinking, Che Ming's head was covered with cold sweat, he forced a smile and said: "Jingren—Brother Jingren! Are you kidding me, why should you be serious if you are not in charge of garlands? Come on, come on, and those two , sit here, and I toast you three cups of 'disaster water'!"

Yin laughed and stood up and said: "No matter how good the wine is, I can't bear it. Dai Duo, you stay and drink with them. I have something else to do, so I'll take a step back. Mr. Wu, I really hit it off today. I'll meet you tomorrow." Please have a drink, and I have something to ask for." Wu Sidao smiled and said nothing. Dai Duo knew that there was a large group of officials waiting for Yin to summon him in the post, and he couldn't stay with them, so he had to apologize and said with a smile: "Yes, it's okay."
