Outside the Admiral's Mansion, there is a lot of traffic.

Except for the officials who couldn't leave, almost all the officials from Shaozhou and Nanxiong were here, and those who couldn't came were specially sent to send congratulatory gifts. Some prominent gentry in the city of Shaozhou also got invitations. One by one, they excitedly carried the invitations as family heirlooms, and happily came to congratulate the pillars of the Qing Dynasty and the general Tang Sanshui, the admiral of Guangdong.

Tang Sanshui's personal soldier Jia Da when he was the Deqing General Manager is now also a general in Shaozhou. He is in charge of the Admiral's superintendent's relatives and is highly trusted by the Admiral, so Shaozhou officials are preparing for the Admiral's birthday. At the same time, he did not forget to give Jia Shen Jiang a piece of heart.

After accepting the "heart" of Zhou Wenming, the prefect of Nanxiong, Jia brought Zhou Zhifu to the Admiral. Without waiting for the Admiral to speak, Zhou Zhifu took out a big red and gold paper note from its sleeve and presented it respectfully.

"Hey, what is this for?"

Tang Sanshui frowned at first, flipped over the paper, glanced at the gifts on it, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, raised his hand slightly, and said to Zhou Wenming, "Why should Nanxiong Mansion spend money, but there is an Admiral here. Here, you put your heart into your belly. Well, tomorrow the Japanese Admiral will send General Jia Shen to guard Nanxiong, and never let the Chaozhou thieves succeed."

"Thank you, Lord Admiral!"

Zhou Wenming's heart fell on the spot. Shaozhou was under the heavy pressure of Taiping bandits, and Nanxiong's side was not much better. These days, the thieves from Chaozhou are always coming to Nanxiong. Asking for troops to the Admiral’s side a few times has been thrown into the sea. This time, taking this opportunity to celebrate his birthday, Zhou Wenming clenched his teeth and prepared a big gift. If the Admiral is not willing to send troops to defend Nanxiong, he will not know how to go back. How to deal with the gang of gentlemen who were "persuaded" by him.

"Protecting the environment and the people is the duty of the Admiral, and there is no need to thank Nanxiong House."

Tang Sanshui, who received the big gift, was in a good mood, and the more he looked at Zhou Wenming, the more pleasing to the eye. During the conversation, another group of officials and gentry came to pay their respects. Everyone came with a gift. Listening to the butler's singing, listening to the compliments of the officials and gentry, Tang Sanshui was really as sweet as drinking honey. , It is rare to put down the air, whether it is officials or gentry, they are greeted with a few words, and some people even call out their names kindly, only to let all the officials and gentry feel like a spring breeze, everyone is discounted by the admiral's wind capital.

When Jia Da led a group of officials to take a seat, Qin Dacheng, the prefect of Shaozhou, hurried over, and Tang Sanshui asked him, "Shaozhou, have the troupe come?"

"I've got it, I've got it, but luckily it's time to go to the office, or else this team will go back to Nanchang!"

Qin Dacheng nodded and bowed as he gestured to wipe off the sweat that was not there before but only after entering the mansion. Wiping off the sweat and looking at it again, his face was full of the glory of serving the Admiral.

The troupe invited by Qin Dacheng was a well-known troupe from Nanchang Prefecture. I heard that Xia Yihe, the governor of Jiangxi Province, once wanted to buy this troupe as a family troupe. Six days ago, the Song family, a big family in the city, held a wedding ceremony, and spent a lot of money to invite this team over to sing a big show for three days, which was very lively. Today, this team is going to go back to Nanchang, and everything is packed properly. If Qin Dacheng goes one step later, I am afraid that people will leave.

"well!"

Tang Sanshui laughed. He didn't take Qin Dacheng as an outsider at all, and ordered him casually, "Then Shaozhou government will ask them to choose the best show to perform. If they sing really well, then Admiral Ben will be rewarded!"

"Don't worry, Lord Admiral, this team didn't say anything." Qin Dacheng smirked, "Xiaguan make up their own minds, let them sing a fold of "Flying Bird Notes" for adults to listen to."

"'Flying Bird Notes'? Is it a new play? This official has never heard of it." Tang Sanshui said as he walked.

Qin Dacheng smiled behind and said, "Admiral has a good guess. The play is a new play, but the lyrics are new from Jiangnan. It sounds good."

"Shaozhou Prefecture said yes, it must be good." Tang Sanshui stopped, glanced at Qin Dacheng, and smiled lightly: "Go and let them start, the guests are all here."

"Hey! The next official will go and tell them to start the gong!"

Qin Dacheng, as an upright fourth-rank prefect, with a lapis lazuli top wearing a flower ling, was ordered by Tang Sanshui like a servant, but he was not ashamed at all, but proud, and went away happily.

Looking at Qin Dacheng's pissed-off appearance, Jia Da smiled when he came over, but Tang Sanshui glared at him and winked, Jia Da immediately understood.

In the Admiral's Mansion, the lanterns will be hanging high, bright as day, servants and actors are busy shuttling, and a theater is built out of thin air next to the pool in the garden, with a hall in the center. There are couplets on it.

After the play troupe kicked off, officials and gentry naturally listened to the play. Those who know each other sit together and talk and laugh, and those who do not know each other are polite to each other. Everyone knows in their hearts that the person who can get the invitation from the Admiral is either an official or a person with a good face, so they usually have no friendship. In this meeting, they have to take this opportunity to chat a few words. Things can also take care of each other. Officialdom, officialdom, officialdom.

Of course, the most talked about is the Taiping bandit who has made everyone annoyed recently, and the Qing emperor who made everyone excited, so two kinds of people are very important, one is the military attache, and the other is a connection in the capital. , those with wide sources. When it comes to Taiping bandits, of course, everyone is gnashing their teeth, wishing to slash the thief and talented people by the thousands; when it comes to the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, of course, it is also a matter of admiration and admiration for each and every one of them.

This year, it is about superiors and inferiors. As the master, Tang Sanshui, the Guangdong Admiral with the highest official position, is naturally the chairman. He doesn't dare to take the seat unless he is others. Accompanying them were Zhou Wenming, the prefect of Nanxiong, Qin Dacheng, the prefect of Shaozhou, and others. The rest of the officials and gentry were seated according to their rank, and those who did not know where to sit were also arranged by people from the Admiral's House.

On the stage they sang ah ah ah ah, I have to say that the troupe sang really well, and the crowd cheered from time to time. Tang Sanshui also heard it well, so he opened his mouth and praised Qin Dacheng for doing a good job, so that Qin Dacheng's tears almost fell out of excitement. Zhou Wenming, who was sitting opposite, was very envious when he saw Qin Dacheng like this. He only hated that he was the prefect of Nanxiong, not the prefect of Shaozhou. Scum to do it. In addition, although Shaozhou is a Taiping Kou Bingfeng~www.NovelMTL.com~, there are famous generals such as the Admiral in person, and the insurance factor is much stronger than that of Nanxiong Mansion, which is not hurt by father and mother. Also more than Nanxiong. If something were to happen, Shaozhou would definitely stay longer than Nanxiong.

After the big play was sung for a while, Tang Sanshui ordered to go down and open the seat. He raised his glass and said a few words to a group of officials and gentlemen. Although it was a symbolic polite remark, it still made everyone tut. At the banquet, the civil servants and the gentry behaved in a natural manner, and even toasting was also a matter of writing, but the military officers were not so particular about it. After three rounds of drinking, the situation became lively all of a sudden.

"Five-colored horses, Liuliu Shun!"

"Brothers, toast everyone!"

"Come on, fill up!"

"It hasn't happened yet, Mr. Zhao Qian is dying?! Come on, don't worry about him, let's continue drinking!"

"…"

Xu was that the military attachés were too calm. They didn't have the fear and nervousness of the Taiping bandits. The civilians were gradually infected by the atmosphere. With three glasses of wine, they were less restrained and the atmosphere was warm. up. The actors on the stage were still singing, but they had already changed to new ones, and the gongs, drums and clappers were beating, which was really lively.

It was lively for about half an hour, when everyone's face was red, Tang Sanshui got up and looked around, asked with a smile: "The reception is not good, can you all eat and drink well?"

A group of officials and gentry said it was good to eat and drink, and when the Admiral invited guests, it was one person who gave a bowl of water to drink, which was a fine wine from heaven.

Tang Sanshui laughed, but after the laughter, he said something like, "Since everyone is eating and drinking well, then the Admiral will order someone to do things."

"work?"

All the officials and gentlemen were stunned, what are they doing? (To be continued.)
