Chapter 481
Waiting to get off the carriage, he walked alone on the East Street, with the bustling people coming and going, which made him feel lonely and desperate.
He found a small tavern. After the cat went in, he ordered a pot of wine and drank it himself. It was like those literati and poets from ancient times to the present, and he suddenly felt sad in his heart and wanted to write a poem. However, he had been neglecting literature for a long time. He had been working hard for many years and was devoted to the official affairs, so how could he have the intention to do literature?
I felt more and more depressed. I looked up and poured half a pot of wine. I felt dizzy and my eyes were dizzy.
"Oh, isn't this the Minister of State Yuan?" Suddenly, a sarcastic voice sounded.
He slowly looked up and saw a middle-aged man wearing green brocade clothes walking in with his servants and looked closely. He turned out to be Sun Shishang of the Ministry of Personnel.
He felt a sudden faint and his face became panicked, because the wife of Mr. Wu was once his lover.
Mr. Wu is fifty-three years old this year. His original wife was promoted to the side, and she went out with jealousy. She married her current wife again and then took concubines. Now there are three concubines, and there are seven or eight without a title.
During the first year of the assessment, he made a mistake. Because he was promoted to Assistant Minister, he had already gone through the back door and was worried that he would not be able to pass the assessment, so he asked Mr. Wu's mansion to give him a lot of gifts. However, Mr. Wu was not greedy and asked him to give him another 3,000 taels of silver. He did not raise enough for a while and offended Mr. Wu. He could not get through that year. Fortunately, his uncle came forward later, and the matter was settled.
After Mr. Wu came over, he laughed and said, "I almost forgot that I am not Mr. Yuan now. I have to call him "Marquis. I heard that you are sick and resigned from your post. Has this disease been cured?"
Jinghou has become habitually flattering these people and subconsciously showing weakness. Therefore, even if you can hear the ridicule and contempt in his tone, you dare not refute it. You just smiled and said, "So it's Lord Wu. Thank you for your greetings. It's nothing, you are interested."
He was a dignified marquis, but he did not dare to offend even a guardian dog on the Ministry of Personnel, let alone a minister.
Mr. Wu sat down with a smile, looking at him opposite him, his face full of sarcasm and mockery, "Yuan Balong, you are really inferior to dogs. Dogs know how to look at people's faces. You are a coward, you are really better than to die."
The sudden attack on Mr. Wu was expected by waiting.
It was not because of his wife's affairs, but because the three thousand taels of silver were not enough, he went to ask Mr. Wu for pleading. Just then, the Minister of Personnel found out and scolded Mr. Wu and warned him. Mr. Wu held a grudge against him from then on and opposed him everywhere. This also led to every assessment after that, he had to find connections to ask for favors. When he was in office, he dreamed that Mr. Wu would be transferred away, but Mr. Wu had nails on his butt and stayed in the Ministry of Personnel.
Now facing Mr. Wu's hated face, even though he was drinking, he could only say embarrassedly: "Mr. Wu really likes to joke."
"Bad!" Seeing that Mr. Wu could not anger him, he couldn't help but curse with pride.
I just waited for him to leave quickly, so I didn't say anything, and just looked at Mr. Wu with a flattering smile.
"Mr. Wu has such a great official power!"
The voice of King An came coldly.
The two of them suddenly looked up and saw that King An in a python robe was standing behind them at some point. He looked at Mr. Wu coldly, "If the marquis has a title, he is not a court official, and you cannot tolerate your contempt!"
There are many people in this tavern. King An scolded Mr. Wu like this, and immediately asked Mr. Wu to be blind, but he did not dare to argue. He just stood up and bowed awkwardly, "Your Majesty said that, the emperor said goodbye!"
"Get out!" said An Wang coldly.
This word "get out" made Mr. Wu feel angry, but he didn't dare to show his anger and left in disappointment.
Waiting for the waiter had never seen Mr. Wu so defeated, he couldn't help but feel so happy that he stood up and saluted King An, "The little marquis has seen the prince, thank you for helping him."
King An sat down with a cheerful voice, "Mr. Marquis, you have to be polite. I can't stand his sarcastic appearance, and I just scolded him."
Jinghou smiled flatteringly. This smile was habitual and he himself showed it inadvertently.
After laughing, he remembered that what he knew was designed by King An, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart.
However, when the waiter brought the wine glass to the table, he immediately stood up respectfully and poured the wine, "Prince, please give me a drink."
When King An saw his humble attitude, he was very satisfied. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip. "This wine is not good. If you don't dislike it, you might as well go to Prince An's mansion to have a drink."
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, you can't ask for it!" Jinghou was flattered and said immediately.
King An stood up and said meaningfully: "Please, Marquis!"
Waiting to bow, "Please, please."
When he arrived at Prince An's mansion, Prince An ordered people to serve wine and drink. After a while, he was drunk after waiting.
He has a good alcohol tolerance, because he has a lot of social engagements over the years, so he must have a good alcohol tolerance.
But he felt upset and was so drunk that he really couldn't stand it anymore.
Seeing that he had almost finished drinking, King An put down his glass and looked at him, "The Marquis is only over forty years this year? He is as young as the Marquis, and he should be serving the court. Why did he resign from his official position with his boots?"
Waiting for the alcoholic spirit, he heard this and looked at King An's deep-sense face. He remembered that he had hit a wall with Yuwen Hao and Yuan Qingling because of this. He was angry and knelt down, "Prince, if you can help me, Xiao Hou is willing to work hard for you."
King An sat up straight, a faint smile floated in his mouth, a gleam flashed in his eyes, which made him kneel for a moment, and then slowly helped him up, "Marty, don't have to do this. If the Martyr really wants to return to the officialdom, I have a suitable opportunity."
When I was waiting to leave Prince An's mansion, my steps were floating and I was half-dreaming.
King An asked someone to see him off. He got on the carriage and fell asleep. He was helped down when he arrived in the mansion.
After entering the mansion, he returned to his concubine Zhou's house, lay down one end, and the words of King An kept echoing in his ears, "If things are done, I promise that you can replace Lord Wu and serve as the Minister of Personnel."
The Minister of Personnel, the Minister of Personnel.
From now on, he has mastered the important positions of assessing officials. From then on, officials of all sizes will give him gifts and look at his face.
It's really too attractive.
He seemed to have a dream, dreaming that Mr. Wu knelt in front of him and gave him three thousand taels of silver, but he kicked him out.
It's so satisfying, so satisfying.
"I don't know which vixen I went to have a drink with, and I was so drunk."
In my ears was the voice of my concubine Zhou.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and the sky was spinning, as if he was in a dream.
He slowly clenched his fists and narrowed his eyes. He would never look at people's faces again. He wanted everyone who insulted him to come to his door.
