Chapter 479 So It Was Him!

Chapter 479 So It Was Him!

The Heavenly Officials of the Ministry of Officials entertained guests, and the banquet was still held by the Governor of Yanyun County, so there were naturally many people who came to join him.

Lu Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, Ma Wuming, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Wu Zhongze, Admiral of the Nine Gates, Li Hong, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, Xu Haiming, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, Lin Dongyang, Governor of Jiangdong County, and Liu Qiheng, a capital censor, and other high officials from the court. All the staff have arrived.

A small part of this is Wang Anbang's face, and the other half is Xiao Chen's face.

Xiao Chen only brought Shangguan Qiji to the banquet, because Fu Yan and the others don't have any official positions at all, so it is obviously not suitable to attend this kind of banquet.

Only Shangguan Qiji has a third-rank title at any rate, and after all, he has also been the honorary president of the Imperial Hospital.

Needless to say, there was a lot of pleasantries when they met each other, and Wang Anbang ordered the banquet to open when they each sat down.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Wang Anbang pointed to Xu Haiming and said, "Haiming, you are the only one of us here who is not familiar with Mr. Xiao, so that there was a little misunderstanding. Today, I take this opportunity to respect you. Mr. Xiao, a glass of wine can be regarded as an apology."

Xu Haiming was reluctant, but he didn't dare not to listen to the words of his immediate boss, so he raised his glass and said to Xiao Chen, "Master Xiao, I don't have any personal grudges with you, everything is business, if you offend me Here, I still hope that Lord Xiao will be gracious!"

The apology was also quite blunt, and without waiting for Xiao Chen to speak, he directly raised his head and drank it, and then sat down, which was extremely rude.

"Hahaha, Haiming's glass is not a toast, but a fine wine!" Xiao Chen laughed loudly, "But whether it's a toast or a fine wine, we have to take it." It was barbed, but it didn't attack directly.

It can be seen that the gap between the two sides in terms of quality is quite large.

"Your Excellency Xiao may still be unaware that the father of this brother Haiming was the Marquis of Min, Lord Xu Wensheng." Wang Anbang said.

"Who?" Xiao Chen was taken aback when he heard the words, and subconsciously looked at Shangguan Qiji beside him, only to see him nodding slightly at himself, expressing that he was right, the judge I met back then was this person!

"Hehe, Mr. Xiao is young, so he may not know the prestige of Xu Wensheng, the old marquis. He was already the governor of Minzhou County when the Han dynasty was in power, and he was one of the thirteen heroes of the Han dynasty. , he was a hero of our Great Zhou, and the emperor also relied heavily on him back then." Ma Wuming said with a smile.

"Oh...so that's how it is. Old Master Xu Wensheng is truly a man of knowledge of current affairs. It's a pity that he died young." Xiao Chen forced himself to suppress the excitement in his heart, and said this in a neutral tone.

In fact, his regret came from the heart, but it sounded like a sarcasm.

Xu Haiming snorted and didn't speak, but his face stretched longer.

"Although today is to bid farewell to brother Xiao, but don't be too sad, why don't I start a joke and tell a joke to make everyone laugh?" Ma Wuming saw that the atmosphere was embarrassing, so he changed the topic.

The big guys all expressed their all ears.

"It's a joke, but it's actually true. I heard it from my family Ma Fu, but Ma Fu heard it from Mr. Wang's family, Gang Ji, Wang Shiwen, and he was talking about Mr. Wang's family affairs." Ma Wuming looked serious.

Ma Fu is his housekeeper, while Wang Shiwen is the head steward of Wang Anbang's family. Although they are all subordinates, they are the so-called seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's door.

"Old Ma, in front of your colleagues, you must not talk nonsense!" Wang Anbang was startled suddenly, and hurriedly issued a warning.

Ma Wuming is always humorous and has no taboos in speaking. He dared to joke with Lord Li Shiwang. Once it involves his own family affairs, there must be nothing good to say!

"Master Wang, you have always acted uprightly, sat upright, a gentleman is magnanimous, and there is nothing you can tell others about uprightness! But what are you afraid of?" Ma Wuming said with a smile.

The big guys laughed, and they all knew that he was definitely going to make fun of Wang Anbang, so they all urged him to speak quickly.

Ma Wuming took a sip of his wine, and then he spoke slowly.

"It is said that a new servant named Wang Xiaoliu came to Mr. Wang's house. He is very diligent, but he is a bit dull. He is always worried that when he is on duty at night, he will not be able to hear Mr. Wang's summons through a door, so he So I simply hid it under Mr. Wang Anbang's bed so that he could be there whenever he was called."

Everyone was happy when they heard it, only Wang Anbang shook his head helplessly, even saying how could this matter?

"However, the next morning, when he was on duty, he also climbed out of the bed, which frightened Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang. They hurriedly asked him when did your kid come in? How long did you stay under the bed? ! What did you hear?"

"Wang Xiaoliu hurriedly reported the truth, saying that the younger one was on night shift under the bed, and was always there at five o'clock. He would never leave his post without authorization. Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked what did you hear, kid? At that time, it was my lord, you and your wife hadn't rested yet, and you were admiring the painting, or it was a landscape painting."

Ma Wuming is very eloquent, he speaks vividly, imitating the tone of several people is also very lifelike, the big guys are very engrossed in listening.

Hearing that Wang Anbang and his wife enjoyed paintings, they both believed it, because they both knew that Wang Anbang liked calligraphy and painting, especially the expensive ones. Back then, Xiao Chen even gave him a landscape painting of Shenglin Daozi...

But I heard Ma Wuming continue, "Master Wang asked, how do you know that we are appreciating paintings?" Then Wang Xiaoliu replied, the villain is really listening, you said to Madam, "let me see Shuangfeng Xiuru!' Since there are twin peaks, it must be a landscape painting, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room roared with laughter. Wang Anbang was both funny and annoyed, "I knew you couldn't spit ivory out of your mouth!"

"Master Wang asked again, what did you hear on the second watch? Wang Xiaoliu said that the second watch was not good. Sir, you were climbing a mountain on the bed and accidentally fell to the ground. Lord Wang said how did you know?" ? Wang Xiaoliu replied that he heard his wife say to the adults, 'Come up quickly!' So the villain deduced that it was Jiang Zi."

Hahaha!

Everyone was overwhelmed by it and laughed together.

Those with lower ranks did not dare to laugh loudly, so they could only hold their stomachs and blush.

People like Xiao Chen, Lu Jing, Wu Zhongze, Li Hong, and Lin Dongyang laughed out loud without thinking about it.

The laughing Wang Anbang's face turned red and turned white, and he yelled for someone to come and tear up the old horse's stinky mouth!

Naturally, the servants and maids who were waiting next to them would not take it seriously, they all blushed and held back their laughter, but there was a boy with a round face who agreed loudly, and rushed forward with his arms and sleeves rolled up, as if he really wanted to pull Ma Wuming.

Frightened by the other boys, they hurriedly pulled him back, but the boy was still unconvinced, "Why are you pulling me? Didn't you hear your lord's order?"

Wang Shiwen's face on the side turned pale, and he pointed at the boy's nose and cursed, "Wang Xiaoliu, you idiot, you can't even understand the truth and falsehood, so don't make noise here and embarrass yourself!" Hurry up and get him out of here!"
