Li Mo and Cheng Yaojin were still drinking at the banquet in Li Jing's hall.
Li Jing and the other three guests had become bystanders.
"Come, Uncle Cheng, drink these three jars. I wish you good luck!”Li Mo raised the jar and said.
"Good, good fortune! Ha!" Cheng Yaojin laughed.
Gulp…
"Come, Uncle Cheng, three more jars. I wish you a long life!”Li Mo raised the altar again.
"Good, longevity is better than Nanshan Hill!" Cheng Yaojin's smile started to turn bitter.
Gulp…
"Uncle Cheng, three more jars. I wish you a bright future!”Li Mo raised the jar again.
"Good, Bright Future is good!" Cheng Yaojin's eyes started to widen.
Gulp…
Li Jing's eyes widened as he watched his son-in-law pour three jars of wine in one gulp, as if he was being helped by a god.
Gao Shilian and Fang Xuanling, the two civil officials, were horrified.
Only Qin Qiong, who had a bit of alcohol tolerance, looked excitedly at Cheng Yaojin.
15 minutes later…
"Uncle Cheng, how was your greeting today? Are you happy?"
Li Mo finished another jar of wine. There were already 26 empty jars by his feet.
" Burp! I'm having fun…I'm having so much fun…"
Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes and said,"" I had so much fun…Don't…Don't send me home, I'll ride home myself…"
After saying that, he turned around and sat on the stool, swaying left and right as he shouted,"Giddy-up ~"
Then, under the astonished gazes of Li Jing and the others, he directly passed out drunk with a bang.
Li Jing and Qin Qiong quickly helped Cheng Yaojin up and placed him on the stool.
The latter collapsed on the stool.
"This…"
Fang Xuanling shook his head and said to Li Mo, This is the first time I've seen someone drink Cheng Zhijie like this..."
Gao Shilian clapped his hands and laughed." Haha, Li Mo, you can do it. Look at this black guy. He'll still be arrogant at the wine table in the future!"”
Li Jing didn't say anything. He glanced at Li Mo with gratitude.
If Li Mo hadn't saved the day, the three of them would have been the ones who were here this morning.
Li Mo chuckled." I'm grateful for your support, Father-in-law and all the uncles. However, I can't hold my liquor anymore. I'll leave first. I'll have to make a fool of myself."”
"You go ahead and have a good rest.”
Li Jing waved his hand.
Li Mo glanced at Cheng Yaojin, who was drinking like a dog, and then left.
It was unnecessary for ancient people to compete with modern people in drinking.
This kind of sour, primitive stuff that was not even as strong as beer, he could drink it like water.
After Li Mo left, Li Jing asked the three guests to continue drinking in small cups.
Without Cheng Yaojin, the drunkard, the atmosphere began to heat up.
Fang Xuanling laughed." Hahaha! Look at how much your son-in-law cares about you. Apothecary, you've really picked up a treasure!"”
Gao Shilian also raised his glass." I'm envious. I really envy you. Why don't I have such a good son-in-law?"”
Qin Qiong also smiled and said," Apothecary, this son-in-law of yours is skilled in both literature and martial arts. He's also filial to you. You can be considered to have a successor!"”
Li Jing flashed a rare smile and raised his glass."Thank you for your help today, brothers!”
Amidst the blessings and praises, the guests and guests at the banquet enjoyed themselves.
……
Fifteen minutes later, Li Mo returned to the west wing.
"Wifey, I'm back!"
He shouted and pushed open the wooden door.
Li Fufeng, who was brewing tea in his room, was shocked.
She glanced at the teapot that was still steaming and said in surprise,""That fast?"
"Haha, in ancient times, Second Master Guan killed Hua Xiong with warm wine. Now, with me, Li Mo, drinking warm tea can overturn Cheng Yaojin!”
"Wife, even if the sky falls, you won't be able to escape!" Li Mo smiled proudly.”
After he finished speaking, he suddenly pounced on Li Fufeng amidst his exclamation.
For a moment, the garden was filled with autumn flowers.
……
In the afternoon, Eunuch Wang De went to the Dai Public House to look for Li Mo.
As it turned out, with the efficient actions of the government, Li Mo had just been conferred the title of Champion Marquis in the morning, and in the afternoon, the Champion Marquis Manor had already been vacated.
When Li Mo heard Wang De's news, he exclaimed,""So fast?"
"Hahaha, it won't be soon. His Majesty is very concerned about Lord Marquis's matters, so the officials below must hurry up and do it well.”
Wang De smiled apologetically." Lord Marquis, please arrange for us to move in as soon as possible. In the future, don't forget this mighty imperial grace!"”
"Tell His Majesty that I, Li Mo, will do my best until I die!" Li Mo cupped his hands solemnly.”
"Alright, alright, I'll definitely report it!"
Wang De, who had never seen "The Deer and the Cauldron", naturally did not know the origin of this line. He immediately expressed solemnly that he would definitely pass on the original words.
Then, Li Mo sent him back to the palace to report.
……
An hour later, in Taiji Palace of the Imperial Palace.
Li Shimin, who was reading the memorial, heard Wang De's message and laughed,"Dedication until death? This kid's words were quite talented.”
However, his eyes were filled with admiration.
Another eunuch walked into Taiji Palace and reported,""Your Majesty, the Turks have sent an envoy to ask for an audience. A pigeon has sent from the border asking if they should be allowed to enter the country.”
"Let them come over and let zhen see what they have to say!”
Li Shi Min raised his head and looked towards the north, his eyes like lightning.
"Yes!"
The eunuch accepted the order and left.
