Chapter 680 Drinking(1/2)
(Happy Birthday to the Motherland!)
The emperor personally intervened in the matter, and the efficiency was astonishingly high. In the evening after Lin Jue was summoned by Guo Chong, the official appointment document was sent to the Hanlin Academy.
In the evening, Yuan Xiandao came in person to read out the official appointment documents and congratulate Lin Jue and Yang Xiu on their promotion. From beginning to end, Yuan Xiandao did not mention a word about Lin Jue's beating of the two Hanlin bachelors, as if he did not know about it and it never happened.
In fact, a few days ago, when two Hanlin bachelors who had been beaten with bruises and swollen noses and faces and were soaked in tears went back to complain, Yuan Xiandao's beard flew up, and he almost brought someone to arrest Lin Jue and bring him to justice. But after all, age and experience mattered.
Even though Yuan Xiandao had to be forced by Wu Chunlai to send people to harass Lin Jue, Yuan Xiandao knew he couldn't do it if he really wanted to take down Lin Jue. Yuan Xiandao was not stupid enough to give it to Wu Chunlai.
As a pawn, he went to deal with Lin Jue and offended Prince Liang's house. Yuan Xiandao rarely stayed awake. He knew that he could not cross the red line, otherwise it would be difficult for him to escape. Therefore, he only appeased two Hanlin bachelors and agreed to evaluate the comments at the end of the year.
I gave them a better rating online and gave them a month-long vacation as compensation.
When he received Lin Jue's appointment document, Yuan Xiandao was surprised, and at the same time he was secretly glad in his heart. Fortunately, he was not impulsive, otherwise he would be a villain in vain. The emperor personally appointed Lin Jue as the executioner of Kaifeng Mansion, which shows that Lin Jue is
The emperor's position is very important. If I had acted like a fool and punished Lin Jue, the result would have been embarrassing.
Yuan Xiandao and Lin Jue talked happily like a pair of old friends. The two recalled the past and talked about the past. In fact, the two were indeed old acquaintances. Yuan Xiandao was the chief judge at the Hangzhou Oiran Competition three years ago. At that time, Lin Jue
Although he is just an unknown person, he has already met him.
"At the Oiran Competition that year, Master Lin's song "Ding Feng Bo" came out and shocked everyone. From that time on, I decided that Master Lin was definitely not a thing in the pool. Sure enough, he had won the number one title in a row, and now he has been appreciated by the emperor. He personally
Being appointed to an important position in Kaifeng Mansion shows that I had a correct vision back then. Hahaha." Yuan Xiandao said.
"Master Yuan saw that I would be what I am today. I didn't even think that I would be what I am today. Master Yuan has such a good vision, I admire him very much." Lin Jue laughed.
The two of them were chatting in vain, as if the grudges and troubles in the past had never happened, as if they were a couple reminiscing about the past. They talked about some interesting things from the past, leaving the room full of hearty smiles.
Voice.
After Yuan Xiandao left, Lin Jue and Yang Xiu immediately packed up their things and packed the parcels to leave the public house. Master Hu and Master Jiang followed them silently the whole time, looking quite forlorn. Lin Jue and Yang Xiu had nothing to pack, simply
I packed a small package and carried it on my shoulder. I also left some daily utensils and stationery supplies for Jiang and Hu.
"Two adults, we are leaving. Although Lin Jue has not been here for a long time, he has been taken care of by the two adults and has learned a lot from you. Anyway, thank you two for taking care of me. Please also invite the two adults.
Take care of yourself, I will come back to visit you in the future."
Lin Jue did not tease them. In fact, the two adults were quite nice people, but they were just a bit snobbish. They actually did not do anything intolerable to Lin Jue. Lin Jue did learn something from them.
, that is a kind of mentality of being indifferent and at peace. Although the time here is short, every day is actually very long for Lin Jue. If it were not for watching the two old men playing chess,
Lin Jue probably couldn't stand this calm attitude of dozing off and teasing the birds.
The eyes of Mr. Jiang and Mr. Hu were also a little red. Mr. Jiang sighed and cupped his hands and said: "Hey, there is no such thing as a banquet in the world. I would have known that this ruined temple would not be able to accommodate the Buddha of Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin is not a thing in the pond."
, it’s something we can expect to soar into the sky. Don’t be surprised, Mr. Lin, Mr. Laochan and Mr. Hu usually don’t listen to what they say. In fact, we have no ill intentions towards Mr. Lin, it’s just a piecemeal talk. If you don’t believe me, ask Mr. Yang.
Lao Chen and Mr. Hu are actually happy from the bottom of their hearts that these two adults are able to have what they have today. Our lives are over, but your success can be regarded as a relief for the two of us. Lao Chen hereby wishes the two adults good luck in officialdom.
If you are prosperous and have a bright future, you will be promoted to prime minister in the future and your reputation will spread far and wide."
Mr. Hu nodded in agreement and said: "What Mr. Jiang said is also the voice of an old man. You two have gone out. If you are free, you will come back to see us. We are both in our prime years. In fact, we don't have much age anymore and we have few friends.
.We would be very happy if you would come and see us."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "That's natural. If there is a chance, we will definitely come back to visit the two elders."
Yang Xiu interjected: "Brother Lin, I don't want to come back here. I don't want to step in this public house. If you want to visit the two adults, you can go to the two adults' homes. I won't come back again."
Already."
Lin Jue laughed and said: "It turns out that Brother Yang has a deep resentment against this place. I thought he liked it here. When the grapes are ripe in the autumn, why don't we come back to eat grapes? We just agreed a few days ago. No.
Are you saying that the grapes from the Western Regions are big, purple, juicy, and incredibly sweet? I haven’t tasted them yet.”
Yang Xiu rolled his eyes and waved his hands: "You come here, no matter how delicious the grapes are, I won't eat them. I swear, I, Yang Xiu, will never step foot here again in my life. This is a prison, and it's a place where people are killed."
I've had enough of the bloody place. Brother Lin, can you leave or not? I can't wait any longer."
Before Lin Jue could say anything, Yang Xiu walked down the porch with the package in his arms and walked quickly towards the door.
Lin Jue turned to look at the two adults, Jiang and Hu, and said with a bitter smile: "Two adults, Mr. Yang can't wait any longer. It's time for me to leave. You two adults, take care. We will see you later."
Mr. Jiang and Mr. Hu hurriedly returned the salute. Lin Jue turned to Yang Xiu's back and shouted with a smile: "Brother Yang, why are you walking so fast? Wait for me."
Yang Xiu didn't answer, didn't look back, and quickly walked out of the gate of the public house with a determined back, turning to the side path. Lin Jue caught up with him quickly, and the two walked side by side and disappeared on the side of the path of flowers and trees.
Mr. Jiang and Mr. Hu helped each other to the door and watched the two people's backs disappear. They stood there silently for a long time. As the sun set, the two people's figures were stretched very long, and their shadows were outside the door of the public house.
On the ground outside, the two of them did not leave the office.
After a while, Mr. Hu said softly: "Lao Jiang, let's go back. They are gone."
"Hey! Let's go, we are the only two left here. Yang Xiu is right, this is a place where people can be killed without blood. You and I have wasted our youth for decades and spent it all in this place. Although no one has any use for it.
The knife kills us, but our good time is all killed. It is really regretful that we have never accomplished anything in this life. We just stay here all day long and accomplish nothing. Think about it...
I have really lived my life in vain." Mr. Jiang sighed.
Mr. Hu was silent for a while, and after a while he let out a long sigh, put his hands behind his back and bowed his body, and walked towards the public room. Mr. Jiang also shook his head and sighed, and followed him slowly away.
…
At night, the back house of the Lin family was full of excitement and excitement. The fact that Lin Jue was transferred to Kaifeng Mansion as a criminal officer made the recently quiet atmosphere in the back house of the Lin family become lively and jubilant. Lin Jue was expelled from the school, and due to his illness,
In addition, the matter of being demoted back to the original public house became a stone that weighed on everyone's minds. Although Lin Jue did not show anything in front of others, his sighs behind his back were caught by sensitive women. They knew that Lin Jue was in a depressed mood, so naturally
I can't be happy anymore.
Therefore, when Lin Jue announced that he had been appointed as the acting punishment officer of the Kaifeng Prefecture's Punishment Division, it was like colorful fireworks lighting up in the gray air, and it suddenly made people feel happy.
Qianqian, who was already feeling uncomfortable with this atmosphere, encouraged Lu Wu to hold a banquet in the evening to celebrate. Lu Wu readily agreed and cooked several special dishes according to Lin Jue's taste in Hangzhou. It was lively and lively.
He set up a banquet table in the small hall of the back house and took Lin Jue to the table.
Lin Jueben is also a person who likes to have fun. Although this appointment is not a very big deal in Lin Jue's view, and it will not change the relationship between himself and his husband. But he doesn't like it either.
A person with a sad face. He knows that his own mood actually affects the mood of those around him, so he sits down happily.
Ever since Lin Jue got drunk on the Mid-Autumn Festival night last year and had an indescribable incident with Bai Bing, the Lin family's back house has basically banned alcohol. He only drank a few times during the Chinese New Year, and it was only in moderation. Others
She didn't think anything of it, but Qianqian was suffocating. She didn't have a good drinking capacity, but she liked the noisy atmosphere of drinking. On today's occasion, she naturally wanted to ask everyone to have a good drink.
With Lin Jue's acquiescence, Qianqian took out a large jar of bamboo leaves and smashed the mud seal. The strong smell of wine suddenly spread in the air. As soon as the smell of wine came out, the atmosphere of the banquet suddenly became lively. Even Lin Jue
He immediately became excited. He took off his long clothes, spread his arms and prepared to have a big drink. He had not dared to drink to his heart's content for many days, and Lin Jue also wanted to get drunk.
"Tonight, I won't come home until I'm drunk." Qianqian shook her bun, patted her towering chest and declared loudly and boldly.
Lu Wu and Bai Bing covered their mouths and laughed.
Lin Jue laughed and said: "We may not be able to return without getting drunk, but you definitely can. Because you will get drunk after just one bowl."
White ice and green dancing flowers tremble with laughter.
Qianqian glared and retorted: "I...although I get drunk after just one bowl, I fall down when I'm drunk and don't bother anyone. It's not like some people who sleep with someone in their arms when they're drunk, which makes the city full of trouble."
Bai Bing's face turned red, and he stood up and came to catch Qianqian. The two of them were already very familiar with each other, and they basically couldn't help laughing. Qianqian had laughed at Bai Bing countless times about what happened that night. But in front of Lin Jue's
After saying this, Bai Bing was still ashamed.
Lin Jue laughed and watched the two people making trouble, feeling very comfortable in his heart.
Lu Wu smiled and said: "Stop making trouble, Qianqian, you are seeking death, and you dare to offend Bing'er. Have you forgotten that she played the flute that day and you danced like a fool? If you offend her, you will be in trouble on the street in the future.
When she plays the flute, you become a joke on the street."
Hearing this, Qianqian's eyes widened even more, and she put her hands on her hips and shouted: "If you don't tell me, I have forgotten it. Mr. Lin, please give me an explanation. What do you say when your baby Bai Bing bullies me? I was taking a nap that day, and she ran away.
When she came to my room to play the flute, I somehow managed to get her way and get up and start dancing. Is there anyone who bullies others like that? If you have martial arts, you can do whatever you want?"
Lin Juexiao asked Bai Bing: "Is this the case?"
Bai Bing blushed and said, "She...she talks nonsense."
"Why am I talking nonsense? I bumped into you two in Xiao Nuan Pavilion that day..." Qianqian shouted.
"You also said..." Bai Bing flew towards him. Qianqian has also been dancing since elementary school. Although she is not a martial artist, she is able to move and dodge easily. She dodged to Lin Jue's side. Lin Jue reached out and grabbed Bai Bing and swung at him.
fist, everything was understood in my heart.
What Qianqian was talking about about Xiao Nuan Pavilion was that day when she and Bai Bing were making out on the soft couch in Xiao Nuan Pavilion. Just when they were about to die, Qian Qian suddenly broke in and ran away in fright. Bai Bing must have been angry about this.
Something happened, so he played a ecstasy to get revenge on Qianqian.
"Qianqian, stop talking. If you make trouble again, we will move to Xingyuan." Lu Wu rarely showed her majesty.
Qianqian hurriedly gave up and hugged Luwu and said: "Okay, okay, I don't dare to scare me with this every day. I don't want to go to Xingyuan. I'm used to living here. Xingyuan is too simple. I won't say it."
Sister Bing'er, please spare me and I will make amends to you."
Bai Bing snorted, her face red and angry. Lin Jue squeezed her hand, pulled her to sit next to her and said: "Don't be as knowledgeable as this kid. Don't pay attention to her. By the way, we haven't even had a meal or drink yet.
Eat, are these wines and dishes just for looking at? Everyone, sit down, let’s have a feast, let’s have a feast.”
Lu Wu smiled and said, "That's it, let's start the banquet. Qianqian, I'll punish you by pouring wine."
Qianqian stood up happily, holding a big wine jar and pouring wine for everyone. Her hands and feet were unsteady and she spilled a lot. She muttered in distress, and everyone laughed again.
After pouring the wine cup, Lu Wu stood up holding the wine bowl and said: "Young Master has been promoted, we are also happy. Come and toast to Young Master, and wish him a prosperous official career and great success."
Bai Bing and Qianqian also stood up holding wine cups. Bai Bing said: "It doesn't matter if you get promoted or not, as long as you are happy."
