At night, Dingxiang Tower.
The spacious hall usually has about ten tables on the fan, but only a few assistants directly under the Zhengming Tongshu, as well as the constables under Zhao Wuwei, occupied four of them in the corner.
In the round table, only Sun Shaozong sat alone in the main seat. His majestic figure swayed in the candlelight, and he looked at it with a sense of bleakness.
Like this, it would be strange if the atmosphere of the banquet could be warm!
“Boss!”
A short and strong constable pointed his head into Zhao Wuwei’s ear and said nervously: “Looking at this scene today, Judge Sun Tong may not be able to stand in the yamen. Brothers…”
“What nonsense, shut up your stinky mouth!”
Zhao Wuwei scolded him with a sharp expression, but in fact he had fifteen buckets in his heart. He originally thought that at most, those officials were not giving face, but he did not even see the clerks in each room.
Even though the former Tongzong and Liu Zhizhong had a great power, they did not see the officials below standing in line like this.
Maybe…
I really made a mistake in the wrong way? !
Zhao Wuwei felt a little regretful, but when he remembered Sun Shaozong’s words during the day, how could he dare to be half-hearted?
Besides, I have already come here. Wouldn’t it be a big deal to leave halfway?
Why don’t the rest of them think so?
They looked at the platter in front of them hungrily, but they just wanted to swallow a few pounds of regret medicine.
At this moment, a servant hurried to the main table, possessed himself in Sun Shaozong’s ear and whispered a few times. Sun Shaozong immediately stood up and smiled, “Everyone, a distinguished guest came uninvited, how about going out with me to greet him?”
When everyone heard this, they thought he had invited ‘foreign aid’.
Although a welcoming banquet is usually an internal gathering, it is logical that outsiders should not be invited to attend – but it would be good that such an awkward scene can be settled. Who cares whether the person who comes is an outsider or an insider? !
So the constables and assistants followed Sun Shaozong with a smile on their faces to welcome the “uninvited” distinguished guests.
I originally thought that the person who came either had an old military general with the Sun family or a descendant of the nobles. Unexpectedly, when I arrived outside the gate, I saw a middle-aged civil servant sitting upright with a red robe and a jade belt and a golden crown on the four-bearing official sedan chair!
Everyone was surprised when they saw the middle-aged civil servant get out of the sedan chair, laughing and bowing, “Brother, I didn’t expect that you and I would go to Beijing on the same boat, and in the future, I would have to swing a horse spoon in the same yamen. Although I haven’t had time to take office yet, I can’t wait to drink a few glasses of greeting wine in your yamen!”
Swipe a horse spoon in the yamen?
There is that smart one,He could already hear some clues from these words and suddenly felt ecstatic.
Although those stupid people haven’t made a clear problem, it doesn’t matter, because Sun Shaozong immediately solved the mystery.
He also laughed and greeted him, bowing deeply: “I am a humble Sun Shaozong, I have met the Minister of the Mansion!”
But it turned out that this middle-aged civil servant was not someone else, but was Jia Yucun, the Minister of Shuntian Mansion. No wonder those who guessed his identity would be ecstatic!
You should know that the Chief of the Prefecture is in Shuntian Prefecture, but he is the only person who is qualified to compete with the Chief of the Prefecture. He also controls the evaluation and rewards and punishments of all officials from all over the country. With this relationship, even if the people in the yamen are against Sun Shaozong, he can still be as stable as Mount Tai!
Zhao Wuwei was so beautiful that his nose was blisters, and he thought that he had a unique vision, so he bet on the bet that he won the treasure game that was the killer!
So he hurriedly led everyone forward to see him.
“Hey~”
Jia Yucun raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, stretched out his hand to pull Sun Shaozong up, and scolded, “I haven’t taken office yet, why do I do this? I’m here to have your wedding banquet today, not to show off my official power!”
I’ll just listen to this. If I really don’t want to show off my official power, why should I wear this official uniform on my body?
But they said that the two of them were talking and laughing, and they returned to the flower hall. Seeing that the hall was empty, Jia Yucun didn’t realize it and said strangely: “Why didn’t a colleague see it? Could it be that I came too early?”
This is professional acting!
With this expression and tone, who can tell that the two of them had been secretly discussing for more than half an hour in the afternoon?
Sun Shaozong secretly praised him and cooperated with a smile: “Liu Zhizhong may be physically unwell – as for other colleagues, maybe he remembered the time of the reception banquet wrong.”
