Zheng Jin patted his drunken belly and said calmly, "Humph, you want to find fault with me? Maybe in the next life! I have already reported this to the emperor, and the emperor just nodded and said nothing, so it's their turn to act wildly!"
"Hehe, Brother Zheng, you are wise!"
"That's right. If I hadn't been careful, I would have been kicked into some corner!"
"Hahaha! Let's not talk about this anymore. Come on, drink!"
"Come!"
At this time, Old Madam Shen and the others were holding on to the wine jug.
"This peach blossom wine is delicious! It's perfect for women like us!"
"Pomegranate wine tastes good, too, sour and sweet, with a refreshing pomegranate scent!"
"This is, green plum wine? It's clearer than the others."
"Osmanthus wine is also very good! It has a fragrant aroma. Even my voice smells like osmanthus now!"
"Mrs. Shen, where did you find such a treasure? What a pity, my grandson is already married, otherwise he would definitely fight for it!" Old Madam Sun sighed.
"My Su family still has two unmarried grandchildren. Bring them over to sit with you someday~"
Madam Shen glared at her, "Which side are you from? Don't forget you still have a grandson! He's already over 20 and still hasn't married yet! I'm afraid the two of your family haven't even grown all their hair yet!"
"Hey! Look! She's anxious! Hahahaha..."
"Hey, Mingzhu, when can I drink at your grandson's wedding?"
Old Madam Shen raised her chin proudly, "It's almost time! I have to let Yu'er take such a good granddaughter-in-law! I can't let you snatch her away!"
"Hahaha! I'll tell my grandchildren later and ask them to come and sit with us!"
“Hahahaha, let’s do it together!”
"Humph! I shouldn't have brought you here if I had known! You're the one who invited me to a meal and you're trying to steal my granddaughter-in-law! I'm going to lose so much money!"
"Hahaha, come on, drink some!"
Mr. Bai was very proud of himself. His old friends were amazed at the new things in the room. He said aside: "I have several pots of flowers! They are even better than these! I also have several huanghuali tables and several jars of wine! Ah? My grandson brought them to me! He has business dealings with Miss Lin, and Miss Lin gave them to me!"
"This girl is really nice!"
"Yes, Brother Bai, let your grandson work hard and marry her home!"
"Hahaha! I think that's fine! But he's busy with business. Once the situation stabilizes, I'll send someone to propose marriage!"
"Then hurry up! We still want to attend the wedding!"
"Yours is indispensable!"
It was the first time that Fu Junyi brought his friends to Baiweiju for dinner. They seemed to have never seen the world before. They were either shouting or screaming. The scene was very funny.
"This is to shrink the scenery of the mountain into a basin. Why does the fragrance flow backwards on the rockery? It's like water flowing on the ground. What a wonderful sight!"
"So it can be planted this way! Shaowei, can I move back to study it?"
"Heh~" Fu Junyi pulled the corner of his mouth and snorted, "What do you think? If you like it, I have two more pots. Go study it at my place and don't embarrass yourself here."
"Is this a qin table made of Huanghuali wood? This color is bright red and yellow, and this is the first time I've seen it! Shaowei, can I buy it?"
"I'll ask later. Miss Lin should still have some."
"Shaowei, do you have this orchid? I want one too!"
"Well, ask you too."
"Hiss~ Shaowei..."
Fu Junyi was overwhelmed and waved his hands quickly, "Ask everything, ask everything! Can you guys sit down and have a drink?"
"Hahaha! Come on, drink some!"
"This Miss Lin is so pretty! Shaowei, you..."
Fu Junyi glanced at him coldly and said in a deep voice: "Don't even think about it!"
"Hahahaha! Yan Wen is so brave! Be careful or Shaowei will throw you down!"
"Hehe, who would have thought that he would be so anxious! Our Shaowei finally got it!"
"Hahaha! I think you haven't even started yet! Shaowei is so busy on weekdays, you still have a chance, Yanwen!"
"Hush! Let's come back secretly later. Are you going to steal his girl?"
"I wonder if you don't want to keep your art studio open? Eight out of ten paintings are fakes. I'll have someone ..."
Yan Wen quickly covered his mouth and said flatteringly, "I was joking! How could you do such a thing! Right! Tomorrow I will send someone to keep an eye on them. If anyone is trying to please Miss Lin, they will all be driven away!"
"Well, you're smart. Come on, let's have a drink!"
Shen Li and the others didn't make any noise, they just sat at the table drinking.
"Brother Shen, have you thought about the next step?"
Qin Yixu held the wine glass and said with his eyes downcast, "I heard that the magistrate of Dingfeng County in Raozhou died mysteriously. The emperor intends to select one from the Hanlin Academy. Although he is a seventh-rank official, he will definitely be promoted when he returns to the capital after serving for three years."
Han Ningzheng shook his head. "Dingfeng County is extremely chaotic. Merchants and bandits have colluded to form their own faction. The people are cunning and fierce. There are also many mineral resources. I heard that the officials sent there rarely stay for more than two years. They either resign and return home, or become corrupt, or die mysteriously. It's extremely dangerous!"
Chen Li thought for a long time and pressed his swollen and painful temples.
"I just want to go, but I'm afraid my grandfather won't let me go. I tried to test him yesterday, and he's not that easy to pass."
"Alas, now that Prime Minister Chen has only you as his grandson, he will definitely not let you take any risks."
"We can only take it one step at a time. Have you found out anything?"
Suddenly the whole room fell silent, without a sound.
Qin Yi turned around and looked at everyone, then sighed, "I only found out that a large number of officials died that year, and many of them had their property confiscated and their families exterminated. I really don't know where to start. If I continue investigating, I'm afraid something will happen. Let's just forget it!"
