Live together with Qing

At night, the streets are brightly lit, the voices of people are noisy, the noise is extraordinary, the hawkers are shouting one after another, and the wine shop is very lively, especially this upgraded Taohuawu, with cornices and corners, Bilanxuan windows, overlooking the misty Biyang River , and now it is the favorite meeting place for talented people in the capital.

Several former colleagues of Yizhi looked at the table full of wine and food, with mixed feelings, and thanked Wei Changsheng for the treat.

Naturally, Wei Changsheng didn't have much money, but coincidentally, Taohuawu was also one of his properties, so he could pay for it with his face.

"Changsheng, you don't know that we were all terrified when you went to prison."

"Oh, is that so?" Wei Changsheng picked up a chopstick of shredded beef and sent it to the bowl of the person on the left.

"That's right, let's ask Wang Muren, didn't he have the best time with you, but this brat hesitated and said nothing."

"Oh." Wei Changsheng filled the empty wine glass on the right again.

"Later we heard that that boy Wang Muren even gave false testimony to frame you."

"Oh?" Wei Changsheng didn't answer, and turned to let the waiter put down a pot of braised goose on the table.He grabbed the goose's head and stuffed it directly into the mouth of someone who was talking nonsense. "Okay, it's all over, and he didn't mean to."

"Why didn't it be intentional? We all know that he asked you out for a drink that day, and when he made his statement, he went home by himself." The man pulled out the goose's head from his mouth, his face flushed and filled with righteous indignation.

Several people around him also raised their voices higher and began to attack Wang Muren.

The habit of speaking ill of someone who is not present seems to have existed since ancient times.

"Oh, it's all said and done. What he said at the time was of no avail, and officials were punished for drinking flower wine. He did it for my own good." Wei Changsheng shook his head, his tone very relieved.

"Changsheng, you're just too soft-hearted." That thin Li Anle, also considered to be of the same period as Wei Changsheng, was a newcomer to the Department of Rites, and his uncle was a servant of the Xuanbu. "But Changsheng, this time you came back and got promoted, we don't care about those people. Drink and drink."

Wei Changsheng smiled, "Hey, no, I said that I really don't blame Wang Muren, and you can't run on him for me. I invited him this time. I guess he's on the way now. When he arrives, you guys But don't be unforgiving."

He remained calm, and glanced at a corner of the stairs outside. There was a person who had been standing there for a long time. Judging by his size and clothes, it was likely that Wang Muren would not be able to escape.It is estimated that Wang Muren was worried that he had a grudge against him, that the banquet was fake and the ridicule was real.

In this world, are there still few people who fall into trouble?

"Hey, don't tell me, I've been in the sky prison for a while, and this experience is quite rare." Wei Changsheng raised his voice on purpose, and he spoke with joy, and those people really started booing, and the atmosphere was warm and cheerful.

"Changsheng." There was a noise from behind, and Wei Changsheng got up with a happy face, and punched Wang Muren in the chest, "You bastard, you are so procrastinating when asking you to drink, shouldn't you be punished?"

"Changsheng, I..." Wang Muren was somewhat timid. He had been deliberately avoiding Wei Changsheng since the day he returned to Yizhi, but he didn't expect Wei Changsheng to throw him an invitation when the hall was leaving today. There was a look of "I'm coming!", which was exactly the same as before that incident happened.

Wei Changsheng put his arms around Wang Muren's shoulders, "What are you, punish yourself with three cups." While speaking, he was dragged into the banquet, and everyone saw Wei Changsheng's enthusiasm, and booed accordingly.

While pouring the wine, Wei Changsheng said to Wang Muren, "Brother Wang, don't tell me, the food in the prison is actually not bad." As soon as he said this, Wang Muren's stiff shoulders suddenly relaxed, and he smiled naively at himself up.

Wei Changsheng knew that Wang Muren was still loyal to him, and he had secretly bribed the jailer to prepare special meals for him.Of course, Wang Muren has nothing to do with the note in the steamed bun or Beimingzhou.

There has never been more icing on the cake than giving charcoal in the snow.

In any place, if you want to protect others, you must first protect yourself.Therefore, regarding Wang Muren's confession that day, Wei Changsheng let go of his knots early in the prison.

What's more, I didn't die anyway, and everyone had to continue to be colleagues. Of course, many friends are better than many enemies.

To be happy in life is to have fun, and for a while there were cups and glasses on the table, laughter and laughter, Wang Muren had already started to get drunk, knocked on the plate with chopsticks and started singing.

Wei Changsheng thought to himself, he must find an opportunity to spend the night at a colleague's house later, even if he is beaten to death tonight, he won't be able to sleep alone.Chengli's mansion is really too big, he is the only living person in the row of wing rooms where he lives, and if he encounters that voice last night again, he will probably have another sleepless night.

The skinny Li Anle was laughing at Wang Muren's out-of-the-ordinary ditty, when suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a figure on the opposite side, and the wine glass in his hand suddenly fell down, spilling all the wine on Wang Muren's robe.With his eyes fixed, he whispered something to Wei Changsheng who was sitting across from him smiling like a red peony.

"Chang, Chang Sheng, how can I look at it, the person behind you looks so much like Master Murong, Minister of Xuanbu."

Before he finished speaking, he got drunk for a moment, hiccupped, lay down on the table, and fell asleep.

Wei Changsheng turned his head, and before he could put away the smile on his face, he saw a man in black raised his head at a single table by the window behind him, and met his gaze.Outside the window, the moon is setting and crowing, and the wind is blowing.

The corner of his mouth twitched, and his smiling face suddenly turned into a sad one.

Murong Duan felt that he really wore too much clothes when he went out tonight, a cluster of flames turned over and over on his chest, roasting him into a dried fish.

He rarely came to this kind of place to drink, and the store didn't recognize him, so naturally there was no good seat left, so he threw out a gold ingot and went to the private seat on the second floor, facing Wei Changsheng's seat.

He just watched Wei Changsheng flying all over the field like a butterfly, ordering wine for a while, knocking on the plate for a while, and the people next to him urged him to drink, but he didn't hide, drinking very happily, after a few glasses of wine, his cheeks As if smeared with a lump of rouge, the almond eyes are half-curved with amber hidden, bright eyes and white teeth, looking forward to shine.

Is this still the gentleman he knew?

Until, the moment he found himself, this panicked look seemed like a child who was caught in the wrong place, was he that scary?Murong Duan only felt that someone had stabbed his heart out, and blood was gurgling.

Wei Changsheng looked at the raging fire in Murong Duan's eyes, and felt that he was very unlucky this time, and it seemed that he must use the shameless spirit of being a salesman back then to resolve the predicament in front of him. A few of their brothers were sent to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

"Oh, my lord, what a coincidence." Wei Changsheng held his breath, walked towards Murong Duan without looking sideways, deliberately covered the panicked faces behind with his body, and made a subtle movement behind him. "Go" gesture.

The tables and chairs rattled together, it is estimated that these few ran out in a shit.

Murong Duan's face was completely in harmony with his black military shirt.

"Cough cough." Wei Changsheng saw that Murong Duan had no intention of responding to him at all. He didn't want to leave or stay in embarrassment. , it’s all my fault, I hope your lord will not blame me.”

Murong Duan smiled instead of anger, "Why are you wrong?"

"Me." Wei Changsheng held his breath in his throat and didn't catch his breath. A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, no, this Taohuawu has long been different from the past. He has transformed it into a serious restaurant and restaurant. They come here to drink and eat. That's right, why are you so guilty?

He rolled his eyes, and sat down cheekily opposite Murong Duan.

He didn't know if he heard it wrong, someone not far away gasped a few times, sighing.

"My lord." Wei Changsheng's eyes were clear, "I drank too much just now, and when I saw my lord, I was in a daze for a moment, thinking that I was still being interrogated in the lobby of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so I spoke abruptly, my lord, please forgive me."

Murong Duan's pupils trembled, and the scene of Wei Changsheng being executed by slapping his mouth again appeared in front of his eyes. He leaned back on the chair behind him dejectedly, "That time, I blamed you wrongly, and you really didn't tell a lie."

Wei Changsheng pursed his lips lightly, forcibly suppressing the urge to laugh in his heart. Sure enough, guilt is a good thing.

"Oh, my lord, eat slowly, I won't bother you anymore." Wei Changsheng got up quietly, ready to leave.

"Wait a minute, Master Cheng told me that you don't have money to stay in a hotel." Murong Duan interrupted suddenly.

"Uh..." Wei Changsheng didn't expect that Cheng Li, that cheapskate, would actually tell Murong Duan what he was talking about, so he despises him for being in his house? "Yes..." He could only admit it dejectedly, and then thought of a question, and it seems that Murong Duan also thought of something.

"Then where did you get the money for this dinner?" Murong Duan's mouth curled into a cold arc, and flames flickered in his eyes again.

"I..." Wei Changsheng's brain worked quickly, "I'll pay on credit." The answer came out of his mouth one step faster than his brain.

"Oh? Why do you pay on credit?" Murong Duan raised his chin and raised his eyebrows lightly. Wei Changsheng has no official or job, and no house, so how can he get credit from a restaurant?

"I, I..." Wei Changsheng really wanted to slap himself, but he couldn't make up any reason for a while, or he should pretend to be a grandson first.He had a flash of inspiration and said, "My lord, why don't you lend me some money. I didn't expect a meal to be so expensive. When my monthly salary comes down, I will come to thank you immediately."

There was a chill in the air, and Wei Changsheng shuddered inexplicably.He wanted to run away, but he hadn't figured out how to leave Taohuawu ostentatiously under Murong Duan's eyes.

"How about, how about this, my lord, sit here for a while and give me a guarantee. I will go to Wang Muren and the others to borrow some money to pay the bill. I guess they can't go too far..." Wei Changsheng frowned, thinking in his heart But the soles of the feet are oiled.

"Why do you treat guests without money?" Murong Duan suddenly raised an issue.

"I, I want to ask them to borrow a place to sleep." Wei Changsheng said hesitantly, his face turned slightly red again.

Murong Duan finally turned pale, and stopped asking further questions.He took out an ingot of gold ingot from his pocket, put it on the table, got up and let Wei Changsheng follow him, and the two left Taohuawu one after the other. A jug of untouched peach blossom wine was placed.
