Chapter 59
Cui Chengxiu was the minister of Taipusi Temple. Li Xiao never knew what kind of organization it was. Later, when he inquired about it, he found out that he was a horse breeder. But Cui Chengxiu's beautiful features and dignified appearance were very different from Bi Mawen's image.
Too far apart.
As far as appearance is concerned, the officials of the Ming Dynasty are basically not bad. Generally speaking, the members of the Donglin Party can be said to be the best in terms of appearance. With Cui Chengxiu's appearance, he can be regarded as a good-looking person among the eunuchs.
Li Xiao has no interest in men, but he has to admit that Mr. Cui's demeanor is really very approachable.
Cui Chengxiu was not overly enthusiastic towards Mao Wenlong, Li Xiao and others, and of course he was not indifferent. He came over to say hello and exchanged a few words with Mao Wenlong like ordinary guests. He told everyone to eat and drink well and let Xu Xianchun take care of them.
Just go to another table to entertain other guests.
However, before Cui Chengxiu left, he still politely bowed his hands to Li Xiao.
Everyone looked at Li Xiao. This young man was not wearing official uniform. He was a little too young for this occasion. When some people found out that Li Xiao was only a seventh-grade martial artist, they became a little uneasy.
The Ming Dynasty used civil society to control military affairs, and military attachés had to pay tribute to civilian officials even if they were of the same rank. This is the rule!
Cui Chengxiu was a third-rank Taipusi Qing, and Li Xiao was a seventh-rank sesame official with a military position. Cui Chengxiu actually handed over to him. The meaning of this was too unusual.
The officials in the hall whispered from time to time, as if they were saying useless things. But their glances at Li Xiao never stopped. This made Li Xiao very uncomfortable. From time to time, everyone can enjoy the pleasure of giant pandas.
treatment.
The influence of the Donglin Party among civil servants is far greater than that of the Eunuch Party. Among the people invited by Cui Chengxiu today, there are more people with military positions. Especially Jin Yiwei, all the people who can speak in the North and South Town Fusi are here
.
Drinking by warriors is not as boring as that of civil servants, and they have to compete in poems, songs, and so on. In fact, it is really difficult for these Qiubaba to dance and write. Military people! What they want is to be bold, and they pay attention to drinking until the glass is dry. Grinding.
Those who chirp will be looked down upon by others.
The most popular saying at the wine table is that it is better to die drunk than scared to death.
With these guys, the banquet was not even fun. Li Xiao himself knew that with his small body, he could kill those bastards. After drinking more than ten drinks, he decisively lay down on the table and pretended to be unconscious. He didn’t know why.
I have been exercising every day for the past two years. But I still can’t seem to control my drinking capacity. I feel very sorry that I can’t drink wine with dignity like Ao Ye.
Mr. Ao showed off his face today. He drinks high-purity liquor all year round. The liver, which is tested by alcohol, has already produced powerful antibodies to deal with this thing called wine in Beijing. Mr. Ao denounces it as a sloppiness!
Anyway, Mr. Ao was killing everyone today, and the wine kept pouring into his stomach.
Two guys, Xu Xianchun and Cui Yingyuan, added fuel to the flames, and Ao Ye suddenly became the center of the banquet. He was dragged around to fight for drinks, and the scene was extremely lively.
Li Xiao was finally able to end his coma and devour the delicacies on the table. I have to say that the cooks in this capital are really good. Speaking of which, Li Xiao really knows a bit about food.
After having more contact with people in the army, Li Xiao was surprised to find that soldiers at home and abroad seem to have a strange trait, that is, they all like to scratch their mouths.
After thinking about it, it seems that I am used to seeing life and death, and I feel that everything is fake, only what I eat in my stomach is real.
"Hey! Little brother, are you awake?" I don't know when, suddenly there was a bearded man in front of Mao Wenlong. From his face, there was no indication of his age. He looked like he was thirty or forty, and his beard was too covering his face.
The effect was that he seemed to have a very happy conversation with Mao Wenlong, and Li Xiao was sure that he had not seen this uncle just now.
"May I ask who you are...!" Li Xiao looked at Mao Wenlong with doubtful eyes, wondering where this guy came from.
"Haha! I'm Wei Liangqing!" The bearded uncle had a warm smile on his face, and the look he looked at Li Xiao was exactly like the admiration of an elder looking at a younger generation.
Wei Liangqing, I have never heard of it. When he looked at Mao Wenlong, this guy actually had a flattering look on his face. You can be sure that he is a high official. Mao Wenlong behaved like this when he saw a high official. When he saw the king in Jin
His face is exactly the same as now.
"Young man Li Xiao, I've met you, sir!" Although I don't know what yamen the other party is in and what his official position is. But it's not wrong to call him sir. Mao Wenlong will never treat a seventh-grade official with such respect.
"It's not easy to achieve such feats at such a young age. Come on, I'll offer you a glass of wine." Wei Liangqing smiled and brought a glass of wine over.
"Uh...!" Li Xiao wanted to say no, but he couldn't say it no matter what.
A great man once said that life is like rape. Since you can't escape it, just lie down and enjoy it. If you have to drink this glass of wine, just pretend to be bold.
"Thank you sir, I'll do it first as a courtesy!" After Li Xiao finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. After finishing the drink, he flashed the bottom of the glass towards Wei Liangqing.
"Hahaha! What a nice guy!" Wei Liangqing patted Li Xiao on the shoulder, smiled and exchanged hands with Mao Wenlong. He stood up and walked to another table!
"Who is this!" Li Xiao looked at Wei Liangqing's leaving figure and asked Mao Wenlong.
"This is Uncle Suning, he is...!" Before Mao Wenlong could finish speaking, a smell of alcohol came over him.
Ao Canghai, smelling of alcohol, sat down next to Li Xiao. "Brother Xiao, I really can't drink anymore. These bastards are so good at drinking. They take turns respecting my wine. Please support me!"
Damn it! I pretended to be unconscious just to avoid drinking. Why the hell did you let me drink?
When they wanted to kick this unloyal guy, Xu Xianchun and the others were already chasing after him. Seeing that Li Xiao had woken up, he shouted loudly: "I was busy drinking with Boss Ao today, but I forgot about Brother Xiao.
Brother Xiao, I just saw you drinking Mr. Wei’s wine. If I promise someone this drink, you have to give me face. I, Lao Xu, do it first as a courtesy!"
It was too late for Li Xiao to stop him. Xu Xianchun had already poured the wine into his mouth as if pouring wine. If he could drink Master Ao to the point where he could avoid drinking, he was pretty good at it. He was staggering when he walked, and Cui Yingyuan was beside him.
Sitting on the seat, his eyes were dull and lifeless. The corners of his mouth were twitching, probably because he was using his utmost perseverance to control the rumination in his stomach.
It's over! It's over! It's over now. From the corner of his eyes, Li Xiao saw a group of drunkards eager to try. Could it be that they are really going to pull out a trick today?
Touching the things in his arms, Li Xiao reluctantly made up his mind. It seemed that he really had a trick, otherwise he would never want to pass the test today.
During lunch, Li Xiao thought about what the scene would be tonight. He also made some preparations in advance. He mashed a piece of tofu and put it into a bamboo tube. Then he poured in some seaweed and egg drop soup from lunch and stirred it.
After it was evenly distributed, he sealed it and put it in his arms.
With so much preparation, now is the time to use it.
"Come on!" Li Xiao picked up the wine glass and toasted boldly again.
Then he picked up a big bowl and put his head under the table.
After a heartbreaking retching, everyone saw Li Xiao put a bowl of... that... on the table.
"Uh...! Forgive me, forgive me! I can't bear to see this place so clean...!" Li Xiao raised his fists and punched around.
"It's okay! It's okay! Brother Xiao drank Master Xu's drink. I, Cui Yingyuan, don't know if I have the honor or not." Cui Yingyuan also walked over with a smile while holding a wine glass, but Cui Yingyuan's smile solidified on his face halfway through.
superior.
"Wait for me to take two bites to fill my stomach!" Li Xiao said, taking a spoon and scooping a spoonful into the bowl. Then in full view of everyone..., he ate it!
Holy shit!
