Chapter 910: Entering the city for a banquet, the beautiful girl of the night
After a brief exchange of greetings, Zhizhou Mao Xiangyang asked respectfully, "Sir, would you like to go to the city to rest first or..."
"Go to the city first, Chang Shun, and you will camp on the spot!"
"Sir, the soldiers of the Army and Horse Department in the city are currently conducting disaster relief patrols in various places. How about letting your personal guards directly enter the military camp?"
Mao Xiangyang said.
Shen Tang nodded, and then, Chang Shun left a team of people with Shen Tang, while the others headed to the military camp.
It was getting late, so a group of people arrived at the Yamen first. After serving tea in the flower hall, Mao Xiangyang reported to Shen Tang the disaster situation in Yangzhou and the treatment situation!
"Sir, in Yangzhou, the main disaster-stricken areas are the villages near Yangzhou City! There are more than 30,000 people affected by the disaster in Xingdao County, and there are tens of thousands of refugees in Xixiang County and Zhenfu County.
In addition, Huayang Town and Jiaoya Town each have thousands of refugees.
According to current statistics, there are approximately 61,000 people affected by the disaster in Yangzhou."
"The two counties and Huayang Town were relatively lightly affected. The villages and houses that have been washed away are now being rebuilt. The counties have gathered people to rebuild them, so most people have returned to their hometowns."
"For the people who have returned home after the disaster, the local government distributes rations every day according to the population, old and young! Therefore, these people are relatively stable now!"
Following the examples of the previous places, Yangzhou's work is obviously relatively solid! The people's comfort in all aspects is also complete. Although the reconstruction in all aspects has not been completed, they are mobilizing civilians to repair it!
While he was talking, a servant came in and said, "Sir, the dinner is ready!"
Mao Xiangyang stood up and said, "My lord, you have been working hard all the way. Let's have some simple food first! In addition, the soldiers in the military camp have also made arrangements. Although there is no high-quality banquet, it is enough to keep all the brothers full!"
Of course, Shen Tang is not worried about this. If these brothers cannot be arranged well, then Shen Tang will really doubt Zhizhou's IQ.
Under the guidance of Mao Xiangyang, the two came to the restaurant together!
"My lord, this is the general judge Sheng Guangliang, this is the ceremonial official Liu Hongsheng, the state professor Qu Xiuwei teaches Cao Wenxue, this is the military commander Yu Zhisheng..."
All the civil and military officials from Yangzhou have arrived.
Then, Shen Tang took the main seat, and the others took their seats one after another.
The banquet was sumptuous but not luxurious. Of course, the protagonist of this banquet was Shen Tang.
From time to time, the magistrate of Zhizhou expressed his respect and admiration for Shen Tang who loved the people like a son and was honest and upright!
The two old masters occasionally showed off their literary talents, and even mentioned the wonderful thing about Shen Tang winning three yuan in a row and being named on the gold medal list!
Yu Zhisheng also used a somewhat vulgar voice to express his admiration for Shen Tang's battle with the Chengdu Prefecture!
Drinking slowly and slowly, the officialdom is full of expressions! All in all, this banquet was a feast for the guests and the host! It was not until late at night that it came to an end!
After the banquet was over, the rest of the people retreated, and Yu Zhisheng led Shen Tang slowly toward the back room!
"Sir, this courtyard is secluded and is the private residence of a lower official. General Chang Shun has just come to visit, and General Chang Shun and others live in the east and west wing rooms!"
The courtyard is not big but is extremely exquisite. There are flower corridors running through the courtyard and a rockery murmuring!
The two of them moved forward, and sure enough, Shen Tang saw his personal guards guarding the door!
Arriving at the door of the main room, Mao Xiangyang opened the door and stopped, "My lord, it's been a long journey all the way, so I'll take a rest early. I'll continue to report other matters to your lord tomorrow!"
"Well, Master Mao, do it yourself!"
Then, Shen Tang stepped into the house, Mao Xiangyang closed the door and turned around to leave the courtyard.
Entering the door is the front hall, which is simple but neatly decorated, and then inside is the bedroom! Pushing the door open, Shen Tang frowned slightly! In the bedroom, a 28-year-old woman wearing a gauze was waiting quietly, Shen Tang The sound of the door being pushed open made the woman stand up in a hurry.
"Yu Xiu'er of the slave family, I have met you, sir!"
This woman seems to be a little afraid of Shen Tang, and she is a little cautious in her soft words!
"Are you..." Shen Tang asked with a frown.
"The slave family is the concubine of Lord Mao Xiangyang. I came here specially to serve you..."
When Shen Tang heard this, he cursed Mao Xiangyang and Chang Shun and others in his heart! What did it mean to send such a woman to his room?
Chang Shun and others don’t know how to stop them?
However, Shen Tang then gave a helpless smile! It was not an unusual thing in the Song Dynasty to let his concubine accompany his guests.
Moreover, this is a kind of respect and gift from the host family to the distinguished guests! Even for those famous ministers and scribes, such things are not uncommon.
It's not surprising that Chang Shun and others didn't stop him.
If anything else happens, they will naturally be responsible for their own safety, and there is no need to doubt their loyalty to themselves.
However, if such a thing is blocked, who knows whether he will be happy?
It's just that Shen Tang really can't get used to this kind of thing! For his own woman, he would not do such a thing even if he died, and for other people's wives and concubines, no matter how beautiful they are, he has no intention of coveting them. !
"Stay back..." Although he would not scold Mao Xiangyang for this kind of thing, Shen Tang would not accept it either.
"grown ups!"
When the woman heard this, she hurriedly bowed down and said, "If I displease you, I will be scolded... Please show sympathy to me..."
Shen Tang shook his head helplessly, "Well, you go to the study and sleep all night! I'm not used to other people being around.
However, I will not talk to Mao Xiangyang about this matter..."
Hearing this, the woman raised her head and looked at Shen Tang carefully. When she saw a hint of impatience on Shen Tang's face, she nodded gently, got up and left the bedroom...
He closed the door, pushed the door pin in hard, and then gave up! The bedding on the bed was obviously new. Shen Tang was indeed a little tired. He took off his clothes and fell asleep on the bed. .
Shen Tang fell into a peaceful sleep, but in Kuizhou, thousands of miles away, there was someone who couldn't sleep peacefully!
In a secluded house in Kuizhou City, the lights were still bright until now, and three people wearing purple official robes were sitting quietly in the hall drinking tea!
When the pot of tea was gone, one of them stopped the maid, waved her hand to let her go, and then said to the other two, "How about you two adults, do you want to bring out the regulations?"
"Now, Shen Tang should have arrived in Yangzhou! With the lessons learned from the previous two places, as long as those people in Yangzhou don't want to die, they will be obedient! Therefore, Shen Tang will not stay in Yangzhou for long."
"Yangzhou is thousands of miles away from Kuizhou, and at Shen Tang's speed they can get there in at most ten days.
Therefore, there is not much time left for you! Whether it is a compromise or not, there must be a charter..."
