There are endless discussions about men’s topics in women’s circles.
But when the female relatives are together, they seem to talk about their children as well as their husbands. Fortunately, this time is an exception, because Mrs. Yao has brought something new.
She asked someone to bring mahjong in, saying it was a new game she had learned and she wanted to show everyone how to play it.
She also happily said that it was a game brought back by Suitian and it was so fun. Some people also played it and liked it very much.
Yuan Qing Ling laughed. He never expected that the mahjong tiles that Lao Wu played for several days on a whim would become popular.
Lao Yuan lived here in Rong Yue, and a banquet was held in the palace, and the royal family members and officials were invited to accompany him.
The Zhou Dynasty had been on good terms with the Northern Tang Dynasty for many years, and since the emperor and the general had long lived their friendship, they should be treated well.
However, when a post was sent to Prince Su's Mansion, saying that the old men in black were also invited to the palace to have a drink, they showed little interest.
The old man in black shadow replied, "We have stopped drinking, and we are not just going to be invited to a drink by anyone."
The Northern Tang Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty had friendly relations, but the friendship between the elders of Prince Su and the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty was not very deep.
Because Prince Anfeng had sold himself to the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the old men in black also took turns to help with training. At the beginning, they said they would be paid with food and salary, but after arriving, they found out that they only had room and board, but no money.
Originally, working was nothing to the people of Prince Su's Mansion, but they were not very accepting of working without wages.
Yu Wenhao didn't think about this at first, so he asked Xu Yi to invite him personally.
As a result, Xu Yi was detained directly, and the old man in black pointed at his nose and scolded him, "Are you a military commander?
If you are a military general, you should not drink with the generals of Zhou Dynasty. You can drink wine if you want. Except for our master, everyone else must settle their wages first."
This made Xu completely confused, "Are you asking for wages now?
Were you so unwilling to ask for help before?"
"Have you ever wanted to win on someone else's territory before?
Now that the couple has come to Beitang, they have no helpers, so they must first ask about their wages."
Xu Yi was stunned, and it seemed to make sense. However, he looked at everyone doubtfully, "Is this considered extortion?"
But seeing everyone's angry looks, Xu Yi thought it was better to shut up, otherwise the general would be beaten instead of beaten.
But he felt aggrieved and couldn't go back to have a drink. Tonight there were emerald prawns and roasted mutton, his favorites.
Some were sad and some were happy. Due to the arrival of the general, Gu Si, who had been guarding the city gate for some time, was finally summoned by the emperor to attend tonight's dinner.
He ran home, changed his clothes, and entered the palace. When he saw the general, he praised him. He was getting more and more handsome after not seeing him for a long time, his iron arms became stronger and stronger, and his hair was full of white silk.
A man's charm.
After hearing these words, Yu Wenhao wanted to kick him out. He felt very sad in his heart. He was the pillar of the country in the Northern Tang Dynasty. He didn't even know how to say complimentary words, and even flattered him to the point of being slapped on the nose.
In other words, Gu Si has been in a high position these years, and only the people below him flatter him. He does not need to flatter anyone, and he has become more and more incapable of speaking.
Fortunately, the general had a few glasses of wine and was accompanied by a good friend. He did not argue with Gu Si, but instead gave Gu Si a toast. Gu Si quickly snatched the cup from the first assistant. He could not neglect his benefactor.
ah.
The first assistant took the Hongye one and drank it slowly.
Hongye just picked up the pot. If you don't feel proud when drinking, you might as well drink tea.
After three rounds of drinking, Yu Wenhao still didn't see Xu Yi coming back, so he sent Eunuch Mu Ru out to look for him again.
When Eunuch Mu Ru came back from a trip to the palace, he didn't hide it and said that Xu Yi had been detained because the people in Prince Su's palace said they wanted to ask the general for wages.
As soon as these words came out, everyone calmed down and looked at the general with all their eyes.
The general was also very calm and looked at Fourth Master, "Fourth Master, do you know some inside story about their wages?"
"have no idea."
The fourth master was very straightforward, even if he knew he didn't know, he said he didn't know.
The general said: "Okay, since the fourth master knows, then for this salary, the fourth master can pay off the debt for the master."
The fourth master looked at the rogue general and said, "You are young and deaf."
It turned out that they were not given military pay at that time. They were paid, but they were detained by Prince Anfeng and his wife, and they were all sent back to the Northern Tang Dynasty.
At that time, the post-war Northern Tang Dynasty was extremely poor. There were wars, floods, locusts, and no food reserves. Therefore, the couple also engaged in swindling and swindling, plundering and giving away all the money.
