Gongs and drums are loud and firecrackers are ringing!
Tian Fen and all other officials came out to greet Zeng Shan.
Although Zeng Shan was the Minister of Rites and his official position was the same as Zhao Shuo, his status was never the same, because he was an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, equivalent to a member of the Standing Committee, and had the power to participate in the cabinet and made decisions. His status was naturally superior. Moreover, Zeng Shan himself was a erudite scholar and the top scholar of the previous dynasty. In terms of cultural attainments, he was a leading cultural figure alongside Chen Sifan, Geng Laoshi, Zhu Chao and He Yuan.
What's even more amazing is that he has also been the chief examiner of the Spring Examination three times, with countless disciples and extensive connections with teachers.
Such a heavyweight figure comes out, and the scene is naturally extraordinary!
"My sirs, why don't you invite me to have a drink here? Are you bullying Zeng and not drinking enough? Haha... Zeng will stop drunk today. Deputy Commander Tian, you are the master. If you don't get me drunk today, you will look down on me."
Zeng Shan got off the sedan chair and looked very friendly, greeted the officials with a smile, and then spoke to Tian Fen, and showed the intimacy of friends, as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years. Moreover, he had a strong aura, his words and demeanor were calm and calm, which made people not underestimate him at first glance.
"Shangshu Zeng, I am really lucky to invite you in three lives. Please, please, please!"
Tian Fen listened to Zeng Shan’s intimate words and looked at his polite expression, and felt happy and worried in his heart!
What was happy was that Zeng Shan stood up for him and instantly pushed his momentum to the peak. All officials of all sizes and big and small who followed him would be full of envy and respect for him. They would be united by themselves and would not have a second thought. Isn’t this happy?
But worries followed one after another. He invited Zeng Tong because Zeng Tong was an embroidered pillow himself. Kang Shanzhen disdained to take it seriously and invited Zhao Shuo. After all, Zhao Shuo had some relationship with Fuguiju and could also get Kang Shanzhen's understanding, but invited Zeng Shanzhen to come, which was extraordinary.
Zeng Shan is Xiao Yan's core confidant. He is two-in-one with Xiao Yan. He is both inseparable from one loss and one prospers. Now, Zeng Shan is standing up for himself. Isn't that slap Kang Shanzhen in the face? How could Kang Shanzhen be happy?
Tian Fen thought a lot and felt extremely regretful. He blamed himself for being overwhelmed by Shi Yue just now, but the wood was already done and he had no time to save it.
Seeing Tian Fen being stunned and dazed, Zeng Shan vaguely guessed Tian Fen’s thoughts and smiled warmly: “What? Deputy Commander Tian, are you really afraid that Zeng will drink all your wine? Otherwise, Zeng will go home now and not bother Deputy Commander Tian’s good things?”
Although he said this, he had no intention of moving at all. He just looked at Tian Fen with a smile.
Tian Fen was shocked. Since he had invited Zeng Shan, even if there was a gap between him and Kang Shanzhen, if Zeng Shanzhen left again, wouldn’t he be beaten up and become an orphan?
"You can't even invite such a great scholar like Zeng Shangshu on weekdays. Today, Tian is lucky enough to let Zeng Shangshu escape? Zeng Shangshu, please invite him to sit down. Today, we must get Zeng Shangshu drunk. Yang Dongjia will take out your daughter Hong, whom you have treasured for 30 years, and we will drink it all up."
When Tian Fen was reminded by Zeng Shan, he immediately made a correct gesture and led Zeng Shan upstairs and asked Zeng Shan to sit in the main seat. Zeng Shan said he would not sit in anything, but just smiled meaningfully: "Deputy Commander Tian should free up the main seat. Let's get around, it's very troublesome. Come on, let's have a drink!"
When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that there would be an official who was bigger than Zeng Shan to appear?
Zeng Shan is already an assistant minister of the cabinet. How many people are there in the entire court who is even older than him?
Not only Su Xiaoxiao hesitated, but Li Hongcheng, Zhao Shuo, Wu Liang, He Zhizhang, and many black-clad guards were all suspicious and did not understand what Zeng Shan meant, but he couldn't ask, and he was very curious.
************
"Have Zengshan arrived at Fuguiju for a banquet?"
Kang Shanzhen was furious when he heard Peng Wu's report and slapped the table with a slap. The jade table was split into pieces. "Is Zeng Shan uninvited, or is Tian Fen intentionally invite him?"
Peng Wu said: "It was Zeng Tong who went to invite me specifically. It was Tian Fen who intended to invite me. It was definitely not Zeng Shan who came to visit me for nothing. Lord Kang, I really didn't expect that you would give in to each other, but Tian Fen became more and more arrogant. What kind of friendship did Zeng Shan and Tian Fen reminisce about the old friends? Or did they have a secret relationship? Who doesn't know that you are a mortal enemy of Zeng Shan? Tian Fen or your soldiers, you have done such a bad thing. Lord Kang, you can't bear it anymore."
"Tian Fen... is stabbing my knife on the ribs."
Kang Shanzhen walked around the room for a few times, suddenly felt powerless, and sat on the chair dejectedly, bowing to Peng Wu, "I can bear it again, you can monitor it again and see who else Tian Fen can invite."
"Sir, this..." Peng Wu hesitated.
"Why don't you go quickly!" Kang Shanzhen casually threw out the teacup and pointed at the door and shouted.
Peng Wu didn't dare to argue and ran out in shame.
************
Zeng Shan was a great scholar of the dynasty and a good player in politics. When dealing with such scenes, he was calm and composed. He felt as if he was bathed in spring breeze, but he still felt the demeanor and formation of his superiors. He had a very happy chat with Tian Fen while laughing. He was like an old friend of many years, which made the officials present feel illusion-it turned out that they had already been hooking up? No wonder Tian Fen was so confident!
Tian Fen saw through Zeng Shan’s “sincere intentions” at a glance, but he had already boarded the pirate ship. At first glance, the waves rolled, and jumped down to death, and he could only accept reality.
Zeng Shan was holding up his glass to toast the officials, and then he heard an arrogant voice outside shouting, "Zeng Laoer, why are you here at night? You have such a big show when you have sex? ***, when did you get together with Tian Fen? I used to be sneaky, but now I am open and upright?"
"Tian Fen, you really have the courage. Isn't Kang just indulging you so much? Haha... Isn't this just a traitor? I can't stand it and I have to report it to Kang Shanzhen."
"Bai Mochou!"
Zeng Shan was overjoyed: This old man is here! He scolds him well! But his face is disguised as an angry look.
He could call Zeng Shan the old man so arrogantly, and even curse and speak without saying anything. There was no other person except Old Bai's hooligan.
Tian Fen listened to Bai Mochou's first voice and gave the relationship between him and Zeng Shan. He became even more annoyed. He stood at the window and looked out, and saw Bai Mochou standing in Zuixiang Tower, waving his arms, pointing at Fuguiju, cursing, completely like a hooligan.
Shi Yue and others also came out of the building to welcome Bai Mochou!
Although Bai Mochou is a big hooligan, his voice is very good among the people. The people all smiled and bowed to Bai Mochou's luggage and shouted loudly.
Bai Mochou laughed, pointed at Shi Yue, and said to everyone: "My prospective son-in-law is as romantic as me, as righteous as me, as hooligan, and as gangsters. Dear fellows, this is a good child, everyone supports it. The person named Tian on the opposite side is not a good thing. You should make more noises for him..."
A loud burst out from the crowd.
"I'm so angry!"
Tian Fen heard Bai Mochou's words and was so scared that he threw the wine glass to pieces. His face was purple and red, and said to Zeng Shan: "Please make the decision for me."
Zeng Shan smiled and said, "Do you think about it?"
Tian Fen clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "I have thought about it, please let Lord Zeng make the decision."
