Chapter 355 356. Calculation
Gu Wenheng also followed the crowd and toasted his superior, but he knew his limits and each time he used the cover of his robe to pour the wine into a sponge that he had prepared in advance.
"Master Gu," Ning Yuchen dragged He Nan and came to Gu Wenheng with a glass of wine, "Although we are of the same age, Master Gu has a prosperous career, and he will have to help us in the future."
He Nan, "Master Ning is drunk, how about I accompany you to the side to sober up."
Ning Yuchen, "I'm not drunk. Don't you think what I said is right? Lord Gu has been promoted three levels in less than a year. It can be said that there is no one before him and there will be no one after him. He may soon be appointed as the prime minister. By then, we will be out of reach."
Gu Wenheng noticed that several other colleagues had been looking at him frequently. He knew that the person in front of him was acting crazy due to drinking and came to him to vent.
"Master Ning, be careful with your words. My current position was bestowed by the emperor. Don't talk nonsense while drunk."
Some people want to act crazy and stupid to bring suspicion upon themselves, so why should he cover his face for them?
Ning Yuchen, who was considered to be drunk and crazy, suddenly blushed, "Master Gu, what did I just say? Please forgive me if I offended you."
As he spoke, he staggered and a whole glass of wine poured onto Gu Wenheng's chest.
"I'm so sorry," Ning Yuchen raised his hand and hurriedly helped him wipe off the wine, but Gu Wenheng dodged him by moving sideways.
"It's already wet. It's all my fault. I'm so clumsy." Ning Yuchen staggered and was about to touch Gu Wenheng, but was stopped by He Nan.
"Don't go over there and make trouble again." He Nan looked at the front of Gu Wenheng's clothes which was completely wet, and cursed Ning Yuchen in his heart for being so troublesome.
Gu Wenheng took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped it, "It doesn't matter a little bit, it will be dry later."
"Sir," the servant beside him came over and said, "We have regular clothes in our house. I'll take you to the side to get them ready!"
"Yes, we should deal with it, otherwise we will freeze to death." Ning Yuchen also advised at this time.
Gu Wenheng walked over and pulled Ning Yuchen, "You reek of alcohol, so don't cause trouble for others here. Come with me and sober up."
"If this lord wants to sober up, we have a special room," the servant waved his hand and called a maid, "Take this lord to the side yard to sober up."
Gu Wenheng raised his hand to stop him, "No need to be so troublesome, let's go around together, and he will be sober now."
Ning Yuchen tried to break free, but Gu Wenheng held him tighter, "You caused this trouble, can't you come with me?"
He Nan, "Wen Heng, how about I go with you?"
Gu Wenheng shook his head, "A real man should take responsibility for his own actions. I believe that Lord Ning cannot be so irresponsible!"
The conversation had come to this point, and Ning Yuchen knew that he had no choice but to follow Gu Wenheng's force and be taken away from the hall.
Following the servant through a few bends, Gu Wenheng didn't ask any questions, but just held Ning Yuchen tightly in his hand.
"Master Gu, I've already come out with you. You don't have to hold on so tightly. I'm not running away." Ning Yuchen teased Gu Wenheng in a self-proclaimed humorous way.
Gu Wenheng, "I'm not afraid that you can't handle the alcohol and you won't be able to stand steadily. If your teeth are broken, it will affect your career."
Ning Yuchen: "..." You broke your teeth.
The servant pointed to the side room in front and said, "There are regular clothes inside. Please come in, sir."
Gu Wenheng and his men were about to go inside, but the servant stopped them with his hand, "How about I stay here with this lord? It might be inconvenient for him to go in at this time."
Gu Wenheng, "We are all men, what's the inconvenience? Besides, it's just the outer robes that are wet. If you are worried, you can go in together."
Butler: "..."
Gu Wenheng didn't give him time to react. Relying on his own strength, he led his men directly into the inner room.
However, at the same time as he entered the door, he immediately held his breath, and covered his mouth and nose with a sponge that had been soaked in wine, using his robe as a cover.
"Now that you're inside, can you let me go?" Ning Yuchen asked again when he saw that they were the only two people in the room.
Gu Wenheng let go of his hand only when he saw that the incense in the incense burner was almost burned out.
"What's the point of two grown men being together?" Ning Yuchen turned around and was about to go out. "I'll wait for you outside..."
Seeing Ning Yuchen going limp, Gu Wenheng was too lazy to even help him up.
I walked around the room and found that except for the step-out bed, the windows on all sides were nailed shut. No wonder the light was so dim as soon as I came in.
When he walked to the door and looked through the crack, he saw that the servant who was supposed to be guarding outside was nowhere to be seen.
Gu Wenheng sneered, walked over, picked up Ning Yuchen, and threw him directly on the only bed. Then he clapped his hands, opened the door and walked back.
"Where is Lord Ning?" Seeing Gu Wenheng coming back alone without even changing his official uniform, He Nan asked curiously.
"He was really drunk. As soon as he got to the place, he fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep. I could only put him in that room first and then go back to find the servant to help send him back. But it was a little strange that I couldn't find the servant."
Gu Wenheng stretched out his hand to call the girl who was pouring wine nearby, "The adult who went out with me before is now drunk and lying in the room where you change clothes. Please ask the steward to deal with it."
The girl quickly responded and turned to run to find the manager.
After all this fuss, the banquet came to an end. Gu Wenheng said goodbye to the host with everyone else and left directly in the He family's carriage.
As for the Huang family's backyard, it was already in chaos at this time.
Xiao Shiyu, who came out with a bunch of maids and old women to look for her concubine sister, made such a big fuss that it also attracted the curiosity of several other families.
"How can you be so disrespectful? I am hosting a banquet in my house today. How can a woman like you bring people here?" Huang Jin shouted angrily with a dark face.
Fortunately, most of the officials had been sent away by then, and the remaining one was just a drunkard, otherwise it would have been a real joke.
"My Lord, I am worried about my sister. Today she came to the mansion to see me for something. I originally wanted to take her to the backyard to talk about things, but I had to leave for something. When I came back, I didn't see her.
There are many courtyards in our mansion, and I am afraid that my sister will get lost."
"It's really ridiculous. You didn't even bother to let the maids accompany and serve guests," Huang Zhengyong stood up and accused his daughter-in-law. "Today, so many adults are visiting our house. If I offend them, can you afford it?
Don't just stand here like an idiot. Send someone to look for it nearby. If anything goes wrong, it will be a disgrace to our Huang family."
