The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 52: Talking about wine

At night, the wind is clear and the moon is bright, the rare good weather, the clear complexion even refreshes people's mood.

In a quiet and spacious compound in Jingzhao Mansion, four or five tables of banquets were set up, and the people who ate the wine were all the servants in Jingzhao Mansion.Everyone toasted and exchanged cups, and a group of old men opened their bellies and shirtless, yelling drinking orders from time to time, drinking heavily and eating meat.

Recently, Guo Nuan's betrothal gift received soft hands, her pockets bulged, and she was confident enough.As soon as I came to the yamen, I thought about rewarding the brothers and old people who were used to living a hard life in the yamen.

As for the food and drinks, Guo Nuan gave Ah Fu 100 taels of silver during the day, and he specifically asked Ah Fu not to spend money. It is very convenient to go to Yamen.

The yard is very lively, especially those old men in their seventies and eighties who have no children, or their sons died in battle in the early years, and their daughters are also married to poor families. Living on a salary, if there is an emergency, I still rely on the younger colleagues to help, but the young people are not rich, and their own wives, mothers and children have to support each other. In short, they support each other.

For the old yamen servants, let alone water and wine, it is difficult to eat meat for a month. When they see large bowls of chicken, duck, fish, streaky pork, barbecued leg of lamb and other meat dishes at the banquet, the old people The muddy eyes sparkled with tears of excitement, stretched out the bamboo chopsticks, caught several pieces of meat and dropped them on the table, reluctant to waste, the dropped meat was also caught in his mouth and chewed, his dark and wrinkled cheeks were bulging, Seeing this, Guo Nuan felt uncomfortable, and quickly told the old people to eat slowly and not to hold on.

The weather-beaten old people drank a little bit of wine, their thoughts became a little fuzzy, and the conversation started, and they couldn't help but sigh with emotion that a few decades ago, it was still the era of Xuanzong, and the people still had enough food and clothing.But since An's rebellion, it has gone forever. . .Guo Nuan was very touched by the memory stories of these old people.

It was Guo Nuan's first night in the yamen. At this moment, he has been toasted with no less than [-] large porcelain bowls of water and wine. Greetings, his eyes were staring from drinking, his cheeks were flushed, and he uttered a few foul words from time to time. It seemed that Guo Nuan was really in a good mood today.

As the saying goes, the dinner table is the easiest place to build buddy friendships. Guo Nuan used to befriend a bunch of good buddies who could piss in a pot, and of course they were no exception.

No, at the banquet one night, everyone was drunk and staggered, and they couldn't pronounce their names in broad daylight, but now it's fine, the old men are crossing their shoulders at the dinner table, and a group of guys are moaning and saying He was talking nonsense and didn't regard Guo Nuan as his boss at all.Of course, Guo Nuan also has the concept of no distinction between upper and lower.

As for Yan Ruoshui, oh, she is not considered a gentleman, but a woman. Although Guo Nuan is a bit drunk, the Jiannan rice wine is so strong that his throat is burning like fire.However, Guo Nuan is still somewhat aware that Yan Ruoshui is a woman so much that she has not forgotten.However, when Guo Nuan was drunk, his hands could no longer control them. In short, these hands did not belong to him for a while. Sitting at the banquet, one left hand rested on Yan Ruoshui's shoulder, and the other right hand rested on He Ping's shoulder. Hugged together tightly, Guo Nuan yelled, reeking of alcohol:

"Yan Butou and He Butou are my right-hand men. I, Guo Nuan, are just a brat. I don't understand anything when I am a new official. I will rely on you from now on. Everyone will do their best to make Jingzhao Clean up this mess in the government, do your best to do good things for the common people, don't...don't..."

Guo Nuan seldom drank too much, and when he drank a lot, he talked nonsense, which meant that he was happy and happy, and the wine talk was the most sincere time, don't, don't, Guo Nuan's tongue was tied, and he said goodbye three times in a row, and finally made it clear up:

"For the common people, do some real things with all your heart, good deeds, don't expect me, Guo Nuan, to let the common people send Premier Zhou ten miles away, beating gongs and drums, hanging flowers and sending plaques to praise me as a good official, don't let the common people When my old Guo left, the common people pointed at my spine and called me a stupid official, and corrupt officials just... just..."

Guo Nuan was really drunk at night, and after the part of saying goodbye, she spoke very smoothly, her tongue didn't tie up at all, but she didn't finish her sentence after the word "just", and she fell asleep on the dining table with her face gurgling caught.As for the "Premier Zhou" that Guo Nuan had mentioned, everyone was so drunk that they didn't pay attention to this new word.

After the banquet, none of the elders was sober, and it was Yan Ruoshui who sent Guo Nuan back to the room in the government office. It was said that although Yan Ruoshui was a woman, she was quite strong, and she hugged Guo Nuan across her arms. He lightly lifted Guo Nuan onto the couch.

However, when Guo Nuan was hugged by Yan Ruoshui, she had an illusion for a moment, thinking that she had returned to that night again.The scene where Kang Wanheng hugged him with a twisted leg and sent him back to Princess Shengping's mansion.Guo Nuan's mouth was not tight, and when he was drunk, he hugged Yan Ruoshui's neck tightly and talked over wine: "Wan'er, Wan'er".

But it’s no wonder that Guo Nuan is like this. Yan Ruoshui exudes a scent of rouge similar to Kang Wan, and she and Kang Wan have similar temperaments. Both are cold women with icy temperament and excellent martial arts. It is powerful, and it is very ruthless to attack the enemy. Once it is shot, it is clean and neat, and it is either dead or maimed.

"Wan'er? This flirtatious guy, it's not enough to have a Shengping sister at home, and he hides a Wan'er, huh, all men are virtuous, extremely hateful!"

When Yan Ruoshui was hugging Guo Nuan, she immediately felt annoyed when she heard Guo Nuan's drunken talk. When her footsteps were still a foot away from the bed in Guo Nuan's room, she casually took the other side of her arms, which was sleeping like a dead pig. Guo Nuan threw it on the couch.As a result, on the second day, poor Guo Nuan found that her butt was swollen for some reason.

"Ahem, I had a lot of fun last night, let's have fun~"

"Happy~!" Suddenly there was a response from the side hall, and everyone sitting at the generous table yelled at Jing Zhaoyin.

Waking up early in the morning, Guo Nuan held a plenary meeting in a side hall of the yamen with two panda eyes on her face. The next day, she first rectified the internal affairs.

"Before I came to Jingzhao Mansion, I had already planned one thing, and now I want to say it." Guo Nuan immediately put away her smile, glanced at the thirty or so yamen servants sitting in the hall, and said solemnly at this moment:

"Our Jingzhao Mansion will start to recruit new recruits tomorrow, and we need to recruit 100 people! From now on, the salaries of all government servants will be doubled, and the salaries owed by the government to everyone's servants will be paid in one lump sum."

"Good! Good! Good!" The servants who were originally sitting at the table jumped up and applauded and clapped their hands. There was a joyous atmosphere in the venue.

"And... I want to lay off people, old people, and go home!" Suddenly Guo Nuan waved his hand, and saw him take a deep breath, and slowly uttered a sentence through his teeth.

All of a sudden, the hall was completely silent, so quiet that even a needle dropped on the ground could be heard, everyone immediately cast their eyes on Guo Nuan, and were all stunned.
