Take the farm down to earth

Chapter 160
The power of the eunuch comes from the master, that is to say, if others are not even afraid of his master, they have to be cowarded immediately.

Moreover, when this Eunuch Liu was vaguely surrounded by a dozen young scholars with angry faces, he was very cowardly.

Some incoherently said some auspicious words, then walked away with an embarrassing salute.

Yu Honggao looked at Shi Zhongkui worriedly, and the others also understood that this Eunuch Liu must hate Shi Zhongkui to death at this time.

But Shi Zhongkui didn't care at all.

He even sneered in his heart.

Offended Lao Tzu, I will make you kneel and beg yourself in a few days.

However, after hitting the slave in the face, he had to find a way to appease Jia Yuanchun.

Even if he doesn't want to get in touch with Jia Yuanchun, there's no need to make enemies with her.

The best situation is that the emperor thinks he doesn't like Yuanchun, but Yuanchun thinks his brother-in-law is his own.

There is a person in the palace, and there may be some useful news at any time.

If Jia Yuanchun really showed his worth, it would be possible to help her, or even the Jia family.

As long as there is no enmity between parents and wives, then there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

When Shi Zhongkui rolled his eyes, he had an idea in his mind.

As the eldest daughter of the second wife of Jia's Rongguo Mansion, Yuan Chun cared most about Jia's family and Jia Baoyu.

And this "Jia's family" is more of the second room of the Rongguo Mansion.

But Jia Baoyu is a smart but not enlightened rice bug. If you want to teach him to study and improve, it is better to focus on Jia Zheng.

As a daughter, Jia Zheng is more important in her heart than Jia Baoyu.

You only need to take Jia Zheng with you when you pick up an errand, and you will be grateful for keeping Yuanchun.

After all, the greater the official position of the father, it is also a kind of help and protection for Yuanchun.

At the same time, if Jia Zheng is pinched, he can also be used to threaten Jia's mother and Yuan Chun, without worrying that Jia Zheng will be ungrateful like Jia Yucun and beat him up.

Shaking his head at Yu Honggao, Shi Zhongkui soon showed a confident smile on his face.

Seeing his expression, everyone immediately thought of what he had done in the past few months.

Moreover, he was able to be promoted to two ranks in three months, and became the third in command of the Imperial Academy, which was not one of them in the whole Great Zhou Dynasty.

Instead, he felt that Liu should pray and not be hated by him.

Yu Honggao also thought of this, he couldn't help sighing secretly, and then smiled again.

If the apprentice is too smart and powerful, the teacher will feel uncomfortable.

No one messed it up, and of course the wedding went on.

It's just that Shi Zhongkui's parents died young, and there is no direct elder in Daxing.

He didn't even have an uncle with the same grandfather, so he could only pay homage to his parents' tablets, and then saluted Yu Honggao and Yuan Donggang who appeared as teachers.

But when the husband and wife bowed to each other, Shi Zhongkui became embarrassed.

Others are one-on-one, and I am one-on-two.

The people around saw him in a daze, and then looked at his head covering, they couldn't notice the surrounding situation at all.

Hearing someone shouting "husband and wife worship each other", Baochai and Yingchun naturally bowed down to Shi Zhongkui standing in the middle.

Immediately he laughed.

Even the maids around Baochai and Yingchun also covered their mouths with blushing faces and laughed silently.

After Shi Zhongkui was awakened by the smile, he hurriedly bowed to Baochai on the left, and then to Yingchun on the right.

It's never wrong to go left first and then right.

Then there was a sound of 'sent to the bridal chamber'.

Shi Zhongkui didn't need to go to the bridal chamber, but began to entertain the guests who came to his wedding today.

A jar of 5-jin eight-treasure wine was delivered to each table by the servants, and at least 40 5-jin wine jars were placed on a long table consisting of four long tables in the yard.

These 40 wine jars alone are 2 taels if converted into silver.

Including a 20-jin eight-treasure wine for each of the 5 tables of banquets, it is 3 taels of silver.

The guests present immediately took a breath.

None of them cared about the food, and when the table was served, someone lifted the wine jar on the table and began to pour wine for the people at the same table.

There are 12 people at a table, and the glasses are all 2 taels of wine cups.

After two rounds, a jar of Eight Treasures Wine will be gone, which means that 500 taels of silver will go into everyone's stomachs.

This is not drinking, it is simply drinking money.

But the more this happened, the drinking capacity of the guests seemed to have increased a lot.

Not long after the banquet started, as long as someone waved to the servants waiting beside the long case, someone immediately picked up an altar from the long case and brought it over.

The younger one suddenly became excited.

The older ones have a reserved face, but their drinking speed is not slow.

Holding the wine glass, Shi Zhongkui, accompanied by Yu Tongfu and Shi Guangzhu, first finished his respects at the table of the teacher, the elder with the most official position and the elder with the most seniority.

The guests at the 20 tables drank 2 taels for the few, and half a catty for the many.

As soon as they walked to the table of Niu Jizong, Liu Fang, Hou Xiaokang and other nobles, they immediately saw three bowls of eight-treasure wine poured in advance.

To be honest, Shi Zhongkui didn't like this kind of mixed wine mixed with 9 catties of white wine, one catty of Chenghuang medicinal wine and a lot of tonics.

I really want to drink it, not to mention spirit peach wine, even Chenghuang medicinal wine tastes more mellow than this wine.

But he looked down on Babao wine, but others thought it was a good thing.

Since someone wanted to drink himself wine, Shi Zhongkui would certainly not be persuaded, anyway, drinking wine into the mouth is equivalent to entering the space farm.

Not to mention being poured in vain.

Picking up a sea bowl of at least two catties, he smiled and said to the twelve nobles, "My nephew thanked all the uncles, and also thanked all the brothers for showing their faces, but this bowl, no matter what, everyone has to accompany a glass."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Niu Jizong and others to speak, he drank it up in three or two gulps.

"it is good."

The people around were basically looking at him, and when they saw him drink up a big bowl, they applauded immediately.

Seeing that Shi Zhongkui was still holding the empty bowl, Niu Jizong and others could only pour wine to accompany him.

Only then did Shi Zhongkui put down the bowl and cupped his hands to the surroundings, picked up the second bowl, and said with a smile, "Uncles and brothers, if someone has a hard time drinking, don't force it."

Seeing what he said, how could Niu Jizong and others lose face.

"Okay, the groom official said so, I have to accompany the gentleman even if I risk my life."

I waited for a cup for 2 taels, and Shi Zhongkui was 2 catties for a bowl. Although twelve people accompanied me, it was still a bargain no matter what.

Only a few people who have had a drink with him understand that if they really drink three glasses like this, even the moderate drinkers will have to get down.

After all, Babao wine is about 30 degrees.

And this is just the beginning, and I and others will definitely drink after that.

After the three bowls were finished, the people present applauded again.

The people at Niu Jizong's table had drank at least two cups before, adding these three cups, it was equal to a catty.

Immediately, some people felt the smell of alcohol rising, and their heads began to feel dizzy.

At the third table, after drinking three bowls and three cups, some people almost vomited.

And seeing that he has served three tables in a row and drank 12 catties, nearly two and a half jars of eight-treasure wine, some people will start to worry about not having enough wine.

He muttered, "Hurry up and change the small cup, I told you that the groom's alcohol capacity is amazing, if you let him drink it all over the table, he will finish the wine."

As soon as these words came out, many people reacted and hurriedly yelled at the people at the fourth table to change the wine glasses.

Shi Zhongkui smiled at the corner of his mouth, first saluted the people at the fourth table with a smile, and then raised a glass of wine to respect everyone.

After walking around for half an hour, I saw that although his footsteps were obviously sloppy, he didn't need anyone to support him when he walked.

Someone couldn't help sighing, "The groom's official is indeed sincere and generous today."

Everyone agreed, and then someone called out, "Officer Bridegroom, you have drunk half of this wine, quickly order someone to fetch it."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help looking at the long table, seeing that there were only a dozen wine jars left on it, and thinking about how the eight-treasure wine could not be drunk casually at any time, they couldn't help murmuring.

Shi Zhongkui was eager to leave with an excuse, and when these guys had finished their drinks, they would come to clean up the mess, so no one would be able to stand up and make trouble in the bridal chamber.

After entering the middle courtyard, Yu Tongfu and Shi Guangzhu, who followed him in, saw that Shi Zhongkui's footsteps were not frivolous, so they knew that he was just pretending.

And there is probably no way to get him drunk today.

But when he saw him go to the hut, he laughed again.

After going to the warehouse, he ordered people to bring out twenty jars of five-jin eight-treasure wine, but Shi Zhongkui was not in a hurry to go back.

Instead, he took Yu Tongfu and Shi Guangzhu to the left wing of the middle courtyard, and asked his teacher's mother Yu Shi's little maid, "Master and ladies, how many juniors can I eat?"

The little girl blushed and nodded, then said in a low voice, "Master Kui, if you can send some eight-treasure wine and those fruit juices, my wife, other wives, and a few young masters will definitely be more happy."

Shi Zhongkui laughed, peaches, pomegranates, oranges, and grapes were squeezed separately, and the four kinds of juices were added to sugarcane juice. The taste must be very good.

And the sweeter it is, the more popular it is.

"Forget about the wine, please tell my wife and wives that the juice will be delivered later. For the eight-treasure wine, after the banquet is over, someone will order each family to send 5 catties to the wives to take home. Drink slowly."

"Yes, Young Master Kui, this maidservant will tell Madam right now."

The little girl said so, but her feet didn't move a bit.

And although he didn't dare to raise his head to look at him, his eyes kept fixed on his shoes.

It seemed that staying with him for a while was a great happiness.

Shi Zhongkui shook his head with a smile, and when he looked back, he saw Yu Tongfu and Shi Guangzhu suppressing their smiles.

After pleading guilty and walking away, Yu Tongfu immediately teased, "My dear brother, why don't I plead with my mother and give Xiao Xing'er to you as a concubine?"

"Nonsense", Shi Zhongkui gave Yu Tongfu a blank look, the little girl was at most 11 or 2 years old at first glance, and he couldn't do anything about it.

Yu Tongfu and Shi Guangzhu said with a smile without being afraid of him at all, "There is a saying that a flower blooms and a beard is broken, my brother, don't know a good heart."

Shi Zhongkui could only shake his head helplessly, and led the two of them out of the inner hall.

Xiao Xing'er entered the inner hall and muttered a few words beside Shi Shi.

Not long after, the table of female guests who came to the wedding banquet with her husband today, plus the four little dolls on the sedan chair and the wedding bed, all became happy.

Moreover, none of the people who can come today is not the head wife, and at the same time, they either have a very good relationship with the Yu family, or they have a very close relationship with the government of Shanguo.

These wives were already envious of Mrs. Shi, but now that they got 5 catties of Babao wine, they said good things as if they didn't need money.

Yu Shi, who is flattering, is a little smug.

After Shi Zhongkui walked out of the inner hall, he thought for a while that his two daughter-in-laws must have eaten nothing since the middle of the morning.

Can't help feeling distressed.

This has entered my own house, of course it is my wife.

Smiling, he said to Tongfu and Shi Guangzhu, "Uncle and senior brother help me entertain the guests outside first, lest I really get drunk by them today."

Just as Yu Tongfu was about to refuse, Shi Guangzhu turned his eyes and said, "I can help, but no matter what, I need ten catties of Babao wine."

"That's right," Yu Tongfu followed immediately, "Uncle, ten catties is less, at least twenty catties will do."

Shi Guangzhu thought the more the better, but worried too much.

Shi Zhongkui gave Yu Tongfu a blank look, but when he thought that his marriage was basically arranged by his wife.

He couldn't help but smiled and said, "Forget it, I'm happy today, not only will I give you wine, but in the future, if you want to drink, I will send someone a jar every month."

Shi Guangzhu and Yu Tongfu were overjoyed, they patted their chests and promised to get all the people outside drunk.

Watching his uncle and nephew go to the front hall first, Shi Zhongkui turned around and walked to the backyard.

After turning around a veranda, two food boxes suddenly appeared in his hand.

Entering his yard, he glanced at the side rooms on both sides of his main house, and saw the little maids of Jia's and Xue's families standing nervously at the door of the side rooms and looking at him.

Shi Zhongkui smiled, he could say that as long as he wanted to, it would be no problem for these beauties and little girls to be brought into the house when they grow up.

It's a pity that the idea is good, but it doesn't necessarily have so much energy.

Fortunately, Shi Zhongkui is still very confident in his ability in certain aspects.

Afterwards, from the left and right wing rooms, several girls who were clearly dressed as maids walked out one after another, and they opened the curtain with two matchmakers and came out.

Before they could speak, Shi Zhongkui waved to the matchmaker and the two well-dressed maidservants who were obviously of the highest status.

Ying'er and Hu Po pointed at themselves in surprise, seeing Shi Zhongkui nodded.

Only then did the two come over to salute with blushing faces, "I've seen the master."

Shi Zhongkui nodded, and handed the two food boxes to Ying'er and Hu Po.

Then he bowed his hands to the two smiling matchmakers, and handed two 50 taels of silver bills in front of them.

"It seems that the banquet ahead will take quite a while. These two snacks and candied fruit will be used first to pad the stomachs of the two ladies."

The two matchmakers were surprised, but even if it wasn't for the sake of money, the two of them would not talk too much.

He said good things one after another, and then repeatedly promised to take good care of the bride.

When Shi Zhongkui returned to the front hall, Baochai and Yingchun's room quickly became lively.

The maids were naturally all smiles, chattering about how the master loves his wife.

When they saw the snacks in the food box, they were all in small pieces, and everyone didn't understand it at first.

It wasn't until the matchmaker realized that she congratulated, "Ma'am, the master is really careful. He was worried that you wouldn't be able to lift the red hijab, so he ordered someone to prepare this kind of snack that can be eaten in one bite."

After hearing this, Baochai and Yingchun felt sweet in their hearts.

Before getting married, I heard too many things about Shi Zhongkui from family members and servants, and I was already full of expectations and satisfaction with my marriage.

Now seeing Shi Zhongkui being so considerate and loving, his face, ears and neck all turned red with embarrassment.
