Fifteen square tables are placed in a row, and the stools are long benches. As long as everyone squeezes in a little, one row of tables can accommodate hundreds of people.

There are four rows of tables in the lobby, with an empty aisle in the middle for dancers to perform.

The Minister of Rites looked around in amazement: "I didn't expect the interior of the brothel to be so large."

The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites snorted, "How can the largest brothel in the capital not be big?"

He heard that Master Xiurong spent one million taels of silver when he bought this place, and that was just the price for the land.

The reason why it is so expensive is that this is the inner city, and it is also the most prosperous and lively area in the capital, with a large flow of tourists and naturally a large number of customers.

The madam arranged seats for them. She placed the lower-ranking officials in the lobby, the middle-ranking officials upstairs, and the remaining officials in the backyard.

A large building was built in the backyard for the young prostitutes to entertain guests overnight. She arranged the officials to stay in the rooms where the young prostitutes lived. As long as they opened the door, they could see the singing girls dancing in the courtyard.

The Minister of Rites snorted: "This is a very thoughtful arrangement."

Fortunately, everyone in Xiaoqing Building was dressed properly and didn't do anything out of line, so he could barely stay here.

"When adults come to visit, we want them to eat well and have fun."

The madam left the room and immediately asked someone to serve wine and food, then said to Mu Nanjin: "Miss, you are the one who managed to invite so many adults to our Xiao Qing Lou as guests. No one will look down on our Xiao Qing Lou in the future."

Mu Nanjin ordered, "There are so many horses outside, find someone to keep an eye on them, don't let anything go wrong during a meal."

"Don't worry, young lady. The people in the building will tie them up. I've even hired a few people to guard and feed the horses."

The madam is a careful person, and she must have arranged these little things properly.

"Also, inform the owners of the other two buildings that Lord Zhou, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, will be exempted from paying the fee once a month when he comes to our brothel to have fun."

After Mu Nanjin finished his work, he went to have dinner with Kan Chaoyan and the others.

"Mu girl, you've come just in time, come and sit next to me."

Kan Chaoyan invited Mu Nanjin to sit next to him, and then placed a glass of wine in front of her.

Mu Nanjin frowned slightly: "I don't drink."

It’s not that I’ve never drunk alcohol, I just usually take a few sips and then don’t continue drinking.

Kan Chaoyan's smile became even bigger. It would be better if he didn't drink.

"You have to drink even if you don't want to. You are going to work with a group of grown men like us. How can you not drink? Isn't that right?"

He pushed the wine glass: "Try it first."

Mu Nanjin took a sip.

“How does it taste?”

"good."

Kan Chaoyan stood up and said, "Come on, let's toast to Mu Yatou and thank her for treating us to dinner today."

Deng Xingchao and the other thousand households all picked up their glasses and stood up: "Mu Nanjin, we toast to you."

Mu Nanjin clinked glasses with them.

Kan Chaoyan immediately said, "We must do it to the end."

Mu Nanjin drank it in one gulp.

"Congratulations on becoming the first female official in the dynasty. It is not easy for a woman to be an official. The emperor has not yet implemented this matter. You must cherish this hard-earned official position."

Kan Chaoyan filled her glass with wine and said, "We toast you to become a female official."

Mu Nanjin said, "Don't the harem also have female officials of different ranks?"

"They can only work in the harem but cannot interfere in government affairs. But you are different. If you are promoted, you can discuss matters with the Minister of Rites and the Emperor in the Taijin Palace. This is what a real official does."

"oh."

"Come, let us toast you again."

Mu Nanjin raised the glass again and drank it all.

Kan Chaoyan refilled her glass with wine: "The third glass of wine is to wish you success in your future."

Mu Nanjin: “…”

[Isn't that necessary? I just want to live my life lying flat on my back. I don't want to be exhausted like a dog, and I don't want to be bald like the Minister of Rites before middle age.]

The Minister of Rites and others next door: "..."

Kan Chaoyan and the others couldn't help but smile: "Hurry up, have another drink."

Mu Nanjin drank another glass of wine.

Kan Chaoyan glanced at her face.

Didn't you say you don't drink? How come you don't blush after three drinks?

Could it be that he is someone who doesn’t blush when drinking?

Kan Chaoyan winked at Deng Xingchao.

Deng Xingchao understood, picked up the wine glass and said to Mu Nanjin: "Mu Nanjin, thank you for coming to our right courtyard to help these days. This glass is for you."

"You're welcome."

Mu Nanjin drank another glass of wine.

Deng Xingchao quietly kicked Chen Liangli who was sitting next to him.

Chen Liangli stood up and said, "Mu Nanjin, we are very happy to work with you. I'll toast to you."

[Are you happy? I think you look more unhappy.]

Chen Liangli: “…”

That's because I'm angry with you that my face turned black.

After Mu Nanjin drank the wine, Jiang Buzhi also picked up the wine glass: "Mu Nanjin, you are like my little sister. I toast you."

Mu Nanjin: “…”

[When men want to drink, they can come up with any excuse.]

Tang Jingrui watched Mu Nanjin drink several cups in a row and couldn't help asking, "Mu Nanjin, are you okay?"

Mu Nanjin looked at him puzzledly: "Okay, why not?"

"Aren't you dizzy?"

“No.”

Tang Jingrui: “…”

Kan Chaoyan kicked Tang Jingrui under the table and said with a smile, "Jingrui, shouldn't you also toast your cousin?"

Chen Liangli cheered: "Yes, we all toasted her, you should toast her too."

Under the pressure of everyone's gaze, Tang Jingrui gritted his teeth and toasted Mu Nanjin.

Jiang Buzhi continued, "Mu Nanjin, if Tang Jingrui hadn't accepted you into the Jinyiwei, you wouldn't have been a female official. If you hadn't been a female official, you wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet us. Do you think you should toast him three cups to express your gratitude?"

Mu Nanjin thought it made sense and immediately picked up the glass and toasted Tang Jingrui three times.

The other four captains present also found excuses to toast Mu Nanjin.

However, after drinking more than ten cups at once, she was still very energetic, and the people present really couldn't find an excuse to get her drunk.

Fortunately, not long after, Captain Liu came with his men, and then thousands of Jinyiwei lined up to toast.

The strange thing is that after Mu Nanjin drank hundreds of cups, he didn't feel drunk or even the urge to urinate.

After drinking over a thousand cups, she suddenly stood up and said, "I haven't toasted the Minister of Rites yet."

Mu Nanjin took the wine glass and jug and went to the next room.

Deng Xingchao was very puzzled when he saw her steady steps: "She has drunk so much, why is she not drunk?"

Chen Liangli snorted, "It's all because of that bad mouth of Captain Liu."

Kan Chaoyan touched his chin and said, "She may be drunk, but we can't tell. Some people are no different from usual when they are drunk. Mu Nanjin should be one of them."

Deng Xingchao was curious: "Why do you think she is drunk?"

"Taking the initiative to toast the people from the Ministry of Rites is not something she normally does."

In the next room, Mu Nanjin raised his glass and said, "I want to toast to all the gentlemen in the Ministry of Rites."

The people from the Ministry of Rites picked up the cups reluctantly.

They were very happy that someone invited them to dinner, but they felt very uncomfortable being threatened.

After Mu Nanjin finished a glass of wine, he said to them, "I have good news and bad news to tell you. Which one do you want to hear first?"

The Minister of Rites didn't want her to keep them waiting, so he said unhappily, "You can say whichever one you want."

"Then tell me the good news first. You..." Mu Nanjin pointed at them: "You were poisoned by the 'Fifth Prince' of the David Kingdom."

"What!?"

The Minister of Rites and his men were so frightened that they could hardly hold the chopsticks and wine glasses in their hands.

Kan Chaoyan, who was sitting next to him, asked the stunned Deng Xingchao, "Didn't you notice that the people in the Ministry of Rites were poisoned?"

Deng Xingchao said with a bitter face: "How can I watch so many people by myself? I can't follow them all the time. Besides, the 'Fifth Prince' is a Poison Sect member in disguise. If he wants to take action, he can avoid my sight at any time."

Kan Chaoyan pointed to the next room and said, "You didn't hear her talking about this in her heart."

Deng Xingchao became even more depressed: "She has been thinking about Master Zhou all the time these days and hasn't mentioned anything else."

Kan Chaoyan: “…”

The Minister of Rites next door was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

"We have all been bewitched, and you are still saying good news, Mu Nanjin, what do you mean?"

Mu Nanjin took a sip of wine and said, "You are not dead now, isn't that good news?"

The Minister of Rites looked extremely ugly, as if he had eaten shit.

The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites was very scared: "Then we are going to die soon."

Mu Nanjin walked over and patted his shoulder: "As long as I'm here, you won't die."

Everyone from the Ministry of Rites: “…”

That is indeed a good thing.

The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites breathed a sigh of relief: "What's the bad news?"

"When Lord Zhou invited the Lords of the Censorate to dinner, someone with ulterior motives heard that it was me who invited you to dinner. When they found out that I was here with you, they wanted to send someone to kill me. I don't want to move now. My safety depends on you."

Mu Nanjin suddenly felt his whole body limp and didn't want to move, so he sat down on the chair at the back.

Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites: “…”

The officials from the Dali Temple and the Censorate who came with them tonight were all his good friends, and they were also the ones who often went to brothels with him, so when he invited them, he did not hesitate to say that it was Mu Nanjin who invited them to dinner.

The person who was interested probably thought that they were the only ones having dinner with Mu Nanjin, but he didn't expect that Mu Nanjin would call so many Jinyiwei.

The official of the Ministry of Rites asked anxiously, "How can we stop them?"

The Minister of Rites drank a sip of wine very calmly: "There are so many Jinyiwei here, why are you so anxious? We can't stop them, and there are still them."

"Yes." The Minister of Rites calmly sat back in his chair and continued to eat: "The food here is quite good."

Kan Chaoyan next door said to Tang Jingrui: "Give the order and let everyone be on guard."

"yes."

Tang Jingrui left the room.

Deng Xingchao stood up and said, "That girl must be drunk, otherwise she wouldn't have said so many things. I'll bring her here for questioning."

Kan Chaoyan did not stop him.

Deng Xingchao walked to the next room and exchanged pleasantries with the people from the Ministry of Rites, then brought Mu Nanjin back.

Kan Chaoyan asked with a smile: "Mu girl, are you drunk?"

"No." Mu Nanjin's serious and cold look was really coaxing. People who didn't know her would really think she was not drunk, but if you looked closely, you would find that her eyes were a little blurry.

"Come sit over here and let's have a few more drinks."

Kan Chaoyan still felt that Mu Nanjin was too sober, so he asked her to drink several more glasses of wine. When they were almost full, he put down the glass and asked tentatively, "Mu girl, I see that you have good kung fu. Who did you learn it from?"

"Who did I learn from?" Mu Nanjin held up his head and thought for a long time: "Who did I learn from? Have I learned Kung Fu? I haven't learned Kung Fu, right? I only learned swordsmanship."

Everyone: “…”

Deng Xingchao whispered, "You've drunk too much. Look at her, she's dumbfounded."

Kan Chaoyan: “…”

He drank a few more glasses not because he was worried that she was still sober.

Kan Chaoyan asked again: "Who taught you swordsmanship?"

Mu Nanjin shook his head: "No one taught me, I learned it by myself."

Deng Xingchao said angrily, "Bullshit, can you be so good at self-study?"

"I just learned it from the secret book." Mu Nanjin retorted unhappily: "You don't believe me, I don't want to talk to you anymore."

She lay down on the table and played with the chopsticks on it.

Deng Xingchao: “…”

"Of course we believe what you say." Kan Chaoyan tried to ask again: "Mu girl, how do you know so many things?"

Mu Nanjin tilted his head and looked at him: "What do you know?"

Kan Chaoyan pointed at Deng Xingchao and said, "For example, how do you know that he is afraid of his wife?"

Deng Xingchao said unhappily, "You don't ask about so many things, but you have to bring up my affairs."

"Not only do I know that he is henpecked, I also know that..."

Although Mu Nanjin was drunk, he did not change his usual habits. He immediately dug up the gossip in the system: "I also know about the Zuodu Yushi of the Censorate. Do you want to hear it?"

"Yes... ahem..." Kan Chaoyan was almost diverted by her: "You should first tell me how you knew it."

Mu Nanjin ignored his words and continued, "The Zuodu Yushi of the Censorate has a crush on someone since childhood, and that is the virtuous concubine in the emperor's palace."

Chen Liangli's eyes widened: "Is this true?"

"besides……"

Mu Nanjin suddenly felt a little dizzy. The person in front of her kept swaying in front of her, and one person turned into two people.

She shook her head and propped her chin up with her hands.

"What else? Tell me."

Mu Nanjin closed her eyes. Although she didn't finish her words, her inner voice came out again.

[Prince Sheng knew that the Left Imperial Envoy liked Consort Xian, so he promised him that he would marry Consort Xian to him after the rebellion was successful. He was tempted and agreed to be Prince Sheng's running dog.]

The Right Censor-in-Chief, who was having dinner downstairs, heard Mu Nanjin's thoughts and his chopsticks shook and fell on the table.

The Dali Temple Minister comforted him: "She was talking about the Zuodu Yushi, not you, what are you afraid of?"

"I am usually close to the Left Imperial Envoy, and I am afraid that the Emperor may think that I am in league with him."

"That's really serious." The Dali Temple official thought for a moment and said, "Starting tomorrow, you should try to stay away from him."

"It's the only way."

Upstairs, after Mu Nanjin finished talking about the Zuodu Yushi, he started talking about the next person.

[Hehe, let me tell you about Kan Chaoyan...]

When Kan Chaoyan heard that she was going to mention him, he quickly shook Mu Nanjin: "Stop, stop, don't think about it anymore."

Deng Xingchao smiled and pushed him away: "Let her continue thinking, I want to know what scandal you have committed."

"..." Kan Chaoyan shouted to Mu Nanjin: "Mu girl, wake up."

However, Mu Nanjin had already passed out from drinking.
