Chapter 199 Two Jokes

Eunuch Qin has been in Wuling for a few days, and although he lives in the Zhou Mansion every day, he probably knows about these things. 【】But it's none of his business, he just listened and didn't care about it.

On the other tables, these delicacies were served, and after a while, the wine was hot and the conversation gradually increased.

Some people were talking about antiques, and then someone was talking about rhythm, and there were celebrities or officials sitting around, and when they talked about these things, they were naturally speechless.

After Governor Qian was fished out by Lin Hailu, the Imperial Envoy didn't talk nonsense at all, and he still returned to his original post.I was in a happy mood, and drank a few more glasses today, so I swayed to the chief, and poured wine with the chief, while squinting and saying, "Why are you all sitting with your heads depressed? How can you eat lonely wine on a happy day? Come on, old Qian, tell everyone a joke, go with the wine."

In fact, only Lin Hailu, Du Ruhui, and Li Daoming were the only ones sitting with their heads depressed.I don't know if it was Zhou Ji's special arrangement, but all three of them sat together, and Zhang He, who was drinking with a sullen head, was sandwiched between them, so the chief was half lively and half cool.

Su San and Zhou Yingying were sitting together, and when they were whispering, they heard Governor Qian came to get drunk, knowing that this Qian was just pretending to be drunk, but actually wanted to tell a joke, take the opportunity Give Li Daoming a little difficulty.

Among the people present, some were old Ji's personal friends, while more than half were official figures.Others didn't know about the entanglement inside, but these people's hearts were bright, so when Governor Qian opened his mouth, everyone knew that there was a good show going on, so the noisy hall fell silent.

Only Tianxiang pointed at Su San and Zhou Yingying, and said to Yu Feng, "Sister Feng, you, the two of them are under the table, and your hands are pulled together."

Yu Feng had already arrived at Su San and grabbed Zhou Yingying's hand under the table. Hearing Tian Xiang's point, she couldn't help laughing and said, "What? Do you envy me? Please curry favor with you, Sister Ying'er. Maybe Su Dacai is happy and redeems you It’s not impossible to fill a room.”

Tianxiang's eyes lit up, and then she smiled, "Mom will you let me go?"

"Great talent Su is willing to accept you, but even if mother refuses to let you go, she won't be able to shut your heart."

Tian Xiang patted Yu Feng and said, "I'm looking for my daughter's happiness. After all, how could he get me? We both have the same disease!"

"Bah bah, who has the same illness as you?" Yu Feng blocked Tianxiang's words in a panic.

"Then everyone coaxed and said: I don't believe it. So everyone paid dozens of dollars and gathered a few taels of silver to provoke the Taoist to blow it up. The Taoist didn't hesitate, so he took an egg and put it on the bottom of the pot. , Blow hard. It's really amazing, the egg rolled on the wall of the pot, and it was actually blown out from the mouth of the pot. Everyone was shocked, but they saw the egg whirled in mid-air, and it didn't fall. It went in the pot, but it hit the edge of the pot, and it was embedded in it, and the egg white in the egg flowed down along the wall of the pot.”

When the big guys heard this, there was an egg with a capsule hanging on the edge of the pot, and the egg white was leaking when it was cracked. Isn't it just "worse and dirty"?They all laughed out loud.

It's just that Governor Qian used some people's thoughts in these last few sentences.It's "Taoist" who vaguely pointed out the word "Tao"; and "Ming Ming Shuo" again, pointing out the word "Ming".The patriarch of the Taoist priest was surnamed Li, and these few words clearly concealed "Li Daoming".But the last sentence refers directly to Li Daoming's "worse and indecent".

I don't want to use this joke to avenge myself for being arrested by the imperial envoy, which means: Li Daoming, the imperial envoy, captured himself but couldn't keep himself, which is more like a coward.

Naturally, there were people who didn't realize this little thought, so they just listened to it as a joke; it's just that there were so many caring people at the scene, how could they fail to hear Governor Qian's thoughtfulness.Therefore, some applauded loudly, some remained silent, and some faced cold faces.

Li Daoming just kept a calm face, without saying a word, he didn't know whether it was joy or anger.

When Lin Hailu saw that Qian knew what he said was appropriate, he said with a smile, "This joke is interesting, haha. Come on, let's have a drink for this joke." After speaking, he took a drink happily And to the end, some officials who flattered followed suit and drank it all in one gulp.

Li Daoming secretly said in his heart: death is imminent, and you don't know it yet.Out of face, he refused to let Lin Hailu just suppress him like this.It's just that he's a bit lonely in this place. Apart from Du Ruhui, there's no one he can rely on to support this situation. He doesn't want to be suppressed, but it's always difficult for him to directly fight against someone like Governor Qian.

Du Ruhui smiled and said, "I also have a joke here."

Li Daoming immediately answered, "Oh, let's talk about it."

Du Ruhui glanced at Lin Hailu, then smiled at Li Daoming in a blink of an eye, but put his eyes in the space, and said softly as if recalling, "This happened early in Ruhui's life." A real incident in the past years is a bit strange to say, and it can’t be regarded as a joke. At that time, Ruhui was still young and a little ignorant. There is an old saying that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. With this in mind, he took a few taels of silver with him, and thought about traveling north and south. Unexpectedly, within a few days of going out, the money was completely spent, and only then did he realize that the world is difficult and money is difficult to move. I was fighting famine at Xueyou's house, but I walked a few steps to a mountain cemetery by the river. I was hungry and cold, and I couldn't walk. It happened to rain again at night, so I had to go to the cemetery. A big tree sheltered from the rain. It was also the season of autumn, but the rain fell strangely, as if it was specially designed to keep the late students there, and then stopped after a while. I was about to walk out of this messy grave and look for a place to rest, but heard There are people talking by the river."

Du Ruhui said it lightly, if it weren't for the bright lights in this hall, Du Ruhui's words would really be a bit permeating.Everyone muted their voices because they wanted to hear him speak, and the scene became even more silent.

"At that time, I was young, wise, courageous, and didn't know what it meant to be afraid. Because I sneaked to the side, I saw three little ghosts, talking and holding a wooden board, huddled together to carve. I heard One ghost said: "Hurry up, if you can't finish this job, there will be no food. I wondered, this ghost also wants to eat?" Another ghost said: Whose handwriting is this? How many brothers do it yourself? Another ghost raised his head and said, "Why so much trouble, finish it early and hand in the errand early. A cool wind blew by, and I lay on the side of the road, my clothes were already wet, and the wind blew through me, and my whole body was chilled to the bone Worried about being discovered by ghosts. At this time, I just woke up and knew that I was afraid, but when I got up and wanted to leave, my body didn’t listen to me, and I couldn’t get up. So I had to wait for the three little ghosts to disperse on their own. , but waited and waited, it was almost dawn, and the three little devils had just finished carving those boards, and were busy taking out some straw paper, and the dirty blood that had changed from nowhere was sprayed on the wooden boards, So I took the straw paper and rubbed it up. After a pile of rubbings, a gust of warm wind blew by, and a ray of light appeared in the sky, and the three little ghosts turned into a ball of cloudy wind and scattered away."

"I woke up in a daze, only to realize that my body could move. I thought it was a dream, but the mass grave was right in front of me, and the sawdust carved by a few little devils were still there. Zhang, the bright red mark like a ghost painting was floating on the straw paper, I looked at it, and saw the characters floating on the straw paper, and after a while, it turned into the characters of Yangjian."

When Du Ruhui said this, he stopped talking and did not continue.

Naturally, some people who heard the itching in their hearts raised their mouths and asked, "What is written on it?"

Du Ruhui smiled, and when everyone opened their mouths to ask, he smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just a header for a manuscript. I wrote: Don't bother me, I'll persuade my father from the underworld."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.A few people who didn't understand the reason laughed aloud, but they were frightened by the sudden silence and laughed.

Zicong is Lin Rong's word.Du Ruhui put 'Zicong' in this last sentence, but intentionally disconnected 'Zicong', but he couldn't hide it from the deliberate knock.

If Du Ruhui kept going, then the last sentence would become "disdain, son, and persuasion to father." '.These words actually went directly to Lin Hailu.Even without mentioning Lin Rong's words, just the word "persuade father" can make people think sensitively of what happened two days ago.

And Du Ru is regretful.It directly sent Lin Rong into the underworld, which seemed to imply that Lin Rong was already a dead ghost.

Lin Hailu already knew that nothing good would happen if Du Ruhui opened his mouth, but he couldn't dodge the arrow shot from the back.

His face instantly turned snow white.
