Chapter 335: Du Wuku Ranking Troops (1)
Time came to 269 AD.
In this year, the Jin State changed its reign. The new year name was Jianwu. On New Year's Day this year, the morning bell in the center of Luoyang City sounded dull and rapid drums again shortly after it rang.
"Your Majesty's oral orders will be ordered at the North School on New Year's Day this year! Officials and their children in the court will arrive at the North School before noon to watch the ceremony!"
"Your Majesty's oral orders, order soldiers at the North School at noon! All officials and their children should go to watch the ceremony on time..."
The war drums were beating, and the sound shook the sky. All the elite cavalry shouted everywhere in the city. After hearing the news, the gatekeepers of the big bosses rushed to report to the backyard.
"Honor, Your Majesty's oral order..."
"I know, come here, put on the armor of the master. Go and notify Jun'er and ask him to come to the front hall quickly. The North School Floor is not close to here."
"promise!"
After receiving the report from the doorman, Pei Xiu, the Minister of Julu County, immediately ordered the servants to put on armor - New Year's Day. According to the previous rules, more than 2,000 stones of court officials should go outside the palace to congratulate the emperor on the New Year, and then the emperor gave him some small things. After that, everyone happily went home for the New Year. As a result, this year it was actually a military order! Your Majesty's cheering and refreshing intention was obvious.
So Pei Xiu cooperated very well and put on the armor - hey, this armor is really heavy.
"You are the head of the family, the young one can't find the young master."
"What? This is New Year's Day! Why are you going out so early in the morning?"
"Well……"
"What are you doing hesitantly? I, Pei Xiu, is not Shi Zhongrong, and kill people at any time. What's wrong?"
"Qi reported to the head of the family that the young master went out late at night after staying up last night and has not returned yet."
"A bastard! You must have gone out to talk with those friends again! Go and look for it, hurry up! The first choice is the Shi family. If the Shi family doesn't have it, go to the Xun family, Wang family, and Pan family... Alas, send more people, and each family will look for it at the same time!"
"promise!"
"Hey, this child, how can he be obsessed with literature and talk all day long? Can this world be tolerated with these things?"
Not to mention Pei Xiu was just expressing feelings there. The servants of Pei’s mansion received the order from the head of the family and quickly searched for their young master everywhere.
Not only was the Pei family caught off guard at this time, but even the mansions of many other magistrates were in chaos after receiving this sudden order.
General Jianwei, Marquis of Anfengting, and Wang Rong and Wang Xuanchong's mansion.
"Hahahahahaha~~~~Hahahahaha~~~~~Hahahahaha~~~~~" A young man who was naked in the winter, but his whole body was red and he couldn't help but emit a heat wave, had a strange expression and arrogance rushing around the entire palace. Wherever he passed, the servants of the palace were watching the person's actions nervously. After predicting the person's route, he quickly moved all kinds of obstacles on the route away. If this person ran towards the door post and near the wall, he could not say that only the maid would use his body to make a meat pad.
"When will the head of the family accept the pill?"
"A quarter of an hour ago."
"In this way, it will take another hour to complete the dispersion. But your Majesty's oral order..."
"Hey, there is no way. The head of the family is like this. Even if he goes there, he will be scolded by His Majesty. We have to prepare the ox cart or something. When will the head of the family be awake and when will the departure?"
"Good, that's all."
At the same time, Leling Hou Mansion.
This place was formerly called Leling County Duke Mansion. Its owner was Shi Bao. Guanzhong was defeated and Shi Bao's title was reduced, so this place became the Marquis' Mansion.
Despite this, as a corrupt official who dared to sell armor to the enemy country in large quantities, the Shi family had a lot of money. The beautiful maid in the Shi Mansion also obeyed and became famous for the children of high-ranking officials in Luoyang. Therefore, although the owners here have faded out of the power center, this is still the first choice for the yamen to gather.
Although it was already past Chen, the winter sun was already hanging high in the air and the sky was already bright. However, in a side hall in the Shi Mansion, there were still bright lights. Not only that, in addition to all kinds of butter waxes and the best Jingyao waxes, the room was actually lit a lot of incense.
"Huh~~~oh, this burning knife is still too strong, it is a little less mellow than the fragrance of the bottle."
"Xun Maobo, I'm not picky there. After fighting in Guanzhong for a year, the source of this liquor was cut off for a year. I was so burning a knife that I sneaked into my father's bed and stole it. If you didn't say that today is New Year's Day, I wouldn't have been willing to take it out!"
"Qi Nuer~~~You don't even have the word "王" yet, who do you want to be my master?"
"I will win the championship this year in 20 years! Oh, by the way, everyone here will have to come and watch the ceremony."
"Hehehe, if you can make the bottle of fragrance, we will come!"
Humph, the guy who said this is either the family background is too low or the elders in the family are extremely strict: Don’t you know that the Sichuan thieves will start selling various alcohol again this year? And it is a regional monopoly. In the Luoyang court, didn’t the families with a little bit of power all sent their children to Chang'an some time ago?
Although he drank a lot of wine, Shi Chong's mind was still very clear. Therefore, he did not say this at all.
"Hey, when will the bottle smell be revealed? If this continues, can it be possible to rely on Wushi San again?"
"Yes, the new wine is out of stock, and the Wushisan is starting to sell well again. The alchemists who didn't know where they hid a few days ago came out to sell them everywhere."
"Hey, after taking Wushi, it is indeed more likely that people can completely empty it. However, after taking it once, the body also has a great reaction. Compared to this new wine, it is still much worse."
"That's true, well, An Ren, have you been praising New Wine recently?"
An Ren here is of course the famous handsome man, Pan Yue and Pan Anren, later known as Pan An of Tanlang. In addition to being handsome, this person is also very literary. In the historical plane, he is known as Lu Ji, who entered Jin and became an official after the fall of the Eastern Wu Dynasty.
However, someone asked Pan An on this occasion if he had written excellent wine works recently. It was not to make Pan An famous, but to mock him: Nowadays, due to the cut-off of goods, great families cannot drink new wine. Pan An, a child from an ordinary gentry family, is now just a servant under Jia Chong, how can he drink new wine? How can he write articles if he can't drink new wine? This is a shameless and dilapidated house. This is a gathering of children of high-ranking officials. What are you sour and slandering? The key is that the TM is so handsome! The beautiful maids who came out to accompany the wine in the Shi family are all looking at you. This is really a big deal!
Although from the perspective of later generations, Pan An did not understand what the officialdom was from beginning to end. He did not say that he was polite and even lost his life in the end. But now he could still hear such obvious contempt and ridicule. The handsome man suddenly felt embarrassed and annoyed. However, because his status was too low, it was difficult to speak back.
"Okay, OK, I invited An Ren." The one who came out to smooth things out was Pei Jun, the eldest son of the Pei family who Pei Xiu was sending people to look for everywhere. He asked Pei Xiu that he now had a noble official position like the Sanqi Changshi. Except for Xun Kai and Xun Maobo, who was almost thirty years old but shamelessly squeezed here to pretend to be young, among these young men in their teens and twenty years old, his official position was the highest.
"Everyone, I've had a break just now. Let's continue the topics last night."
"Botong's words are the truth. You ordinary people, what does it mean to talk about wine every day? Come on, clean up all the cases and other things, and then you all retreat!"
The situation in the Shi family is not good now, so Shi Chong desperately won over the children of powerful families according to Shi Bao's intentions. Jia Mi, the descendant of Mr. Jia Chong, is not even a cell now. Only Pei Xiu's eldest son Pei Jun is the most worthy of being flattering.
There is no reason why the servants of the Shi Mansion are famous. Soon, the entire party venue was cleaned up. All kinds of candles that consume extreme oxygen were extinguished. During the brief process of opening the window to breathe, the cold wind from the outside blew in, which made the drowsy people feel refreshed!
"Good, then let's continue the talk last night. The so-called saints have feelings but not nature and the saints have sex but not nature. Before the pause last night, An Ren's talk was very strong. Now, please... uh, my niece will pay a visit to Shi Shibo."
