Gongsun An led six of his subordinates past the carriage, without paying much attention, and walked into the nearby wine shop one after another on familiar roads covered with snow.
It was winter, and there were no people in the wine shop. Apart from the smell of wine in the room, it was still a bit cold.
Several of them were regular customers, so they helped themselves to a table and sat down.
Gongsun An is the youngest among them, but he is their leader.
They used to be under the Qianniu Preparation Mansion. Gongsun An was the serious Qianniu Preparation Mansion, and the others were all Preparation Officers.
However, this year the imperial court removed the left and right Senniu Prefectures and changed them to Habayashi Guards.
There are two generals, Yulin Zhonglang, led by General Wei Chigong of the Zhu Kingdom, and two left and right generals, led by Luo Shixin, the former personal guard commander, and Concubine Ashina.
There are eight Yulin generals under him, drawn from the previous left and right Senniu Prefecture, left and right prison guards, and left and right garrison guards.
Due to his outstanding bravery and the help of people in the palace, Gongsun An won the position of General Yulin. He was ranked among the fifth ranks at a young age and had a bright future.
I have free time today, so I came here to invite my colleagues to drink. Everyone knows that General Gongsun is a drunkard and does not care about drinking.
At first, everyone took turns guarding the Dou Mansion and guarding the door for Dou Jiande. When they were off duty, they would come here from time to time to have fun, have a few drinks, and watch the two drunk ladies.
Gongsun An was interested, and probably planned to marry her into a good family, but now it seems that it is a bit unreliable for a Yulin general to marry a wine lady.
But it's hard to say. It's true that Gongsun An has some influence in the palace, but he is the only one in the family. As long as he likes her, he doesn't have too many worries.
…………
Gongsun An was in a very good mood.
These colleagues didn't know that he was the orphan of Gongsun Wubing, the great tycoon in Jiangyou at that time.
The Gongsun family hid in the mountains, but they did not escape the disaster of the war. Zhu Can led his army to flee through Jingxiang and the land was in chaos. Gongsun An's parents and clan members were all killed by Zhu Can's bandit army at that time.
Gongsun An was still at the age of waiting for food, but he was lucky enough to be saved by his uncle Liu Chaozong.
Liu Chaozong and Gongsun Wubing were sworn friends, and they were determined to take revenge. They used their young son to lure the demon king Zhu Can, and led Aunt Gu and others to assassinate Zhu Can by the river.
Afterwards, everyone broke out and went north to join the King of Han.
More than ten years have passed, and the orphan of the Gongsun family has grown up, and is beginning to prepare for marrying a wife who is close to him, so that he can pass on the incense of the Gongsun family.
…………
Gongsun An's parents are dead and he has no relatives. He is indeed incomparable to others in the family world, but he does not take advantage at all.
He had been taught by Aunt Gu since he was a child, and was taught by Yan Lu, Yuan Muye and others. To be honest, he was the junior brother of Princess Li Chun of Fufeng County.
His family is also a family friend of the Liu family in Xiangyang. His uncle Liu Chaozong is now a doctor in the Ministry of War, in charge of an office like the Military Intelligence Department, and treats him as his own son.
Look at these people, each of them has a low reputation, but they are all royal hawks. No matter how noble the family is, they still have to give them some credit. Therefore, Gongsun An has lived a smooth life in these years, and basically everything can be said to be worry-free.
And without the efforts of these people, he would not be able to become the Yulin General.
…………
After he sat down, his colleagues came to tease him again.
Gongsun An wasn't angry either, he took it all happily, messing around with these guys with unambiguous family backgrounds, and his character and temper seemed to be very good.
Some people are saying, "Antou...ah, no, no, he is a general. If Antou becomes a general, does he no longer have to train with the imperial concubine?
A few days ago, some of our brothers were captured by the imperial concubine, and we were miserable during the training. Look at how we are all blue and blue here, and you feel like you can't see anyone when you come back."
Everyone nodded with deep sympathy, Gongsun An was no exception.
Governor Luo and Imperial Concubine Ashina were the eternal topics of conversation for them. Both of them had the reputation of being brave enough to win the three armies. Everyone often speculated on who would stand in the end if they took action.
Especially last year when His Majesty led his people to patrol the north, Concubine Ashina punched and killed a famous Turkic general on top of the alliance meeting. Not only did everyone feel honored, but they also felt that Concubine Ashina could not be with Luo
It's a pity that the governors had to compete with each other.
At this time, Gongsun An patted the sword on his waist and said grandly: "I have a sword with me, and even the imperial concubine can't find me to relax my muscles and bones."
Everyone laughed. It’s not like everyone had seen how his nose and face were bruised and swollen after being beaten. What nonsense was he boasting about?
Someone gave a thumbs up and said, "An Tou is so courageous. He actually wants to confront the imperial concubine with swords. I admire him."
This sounds a bit wrong, and others would have to think about it, but Gongsun An doesn't care about this. He has a close connection with the royal family, has no problem with his loyalty, and is not afraid of any words or swords.
While they were chatting in confusion, Dou Xianniang, whose pseudonym was Liu Xian, came out from behind.
Before he said anything, he smiled and said, "Ah, there are few visitors. General Gongsun has not been seen for a while. What's wrong? After being promoted, do you dislike the simplicity of our place?"
She has been dealing with these people for some time, and her performance has become more and more smooth, and she no longer deliberately hides her faint Shandong accent.
When Gongsun An met those bright eyes, his head felt dizzy and he was speechless. This is almost the same virtue among young people who first wanted to beg for a queen.
"I just came off duty, so I came over... to take a look... Well, I had a few drinks, but I don't mind the simplicity of this place."
Seeing his shy look and hearing his stammering explanation, everyone couldn't help but feel happy. The excitement was worth it, and they had to have a few drinks in a while.
Dou Xian Niang also smiled, "Then you just sit down and have a few drinks to cool off the cold in the winter. General Gongsun has been promoted and we have to give him a good congratulation. We don't have to pay for today's drinks."
Everyone became lively at once. A few drinks were nothing to them. It was just that Madam Liu in this restaurant was very grand and her words were to their liking, so they stayed here.
The men used to make noises, trying to get Madam Liu to have a drink with Gongsun An. Without Dou Xianniang saying anything, Gongsun An was already blushing and laughing and scolding.
Dou Xianniang said a few words to them again, turned around and wanted to help from behind, but when she turned around, she hesitated, then turned back to Gongsun An with a smile and said: "I'm happy today, I have two jars hidden here for a while.
Good wine, but the jar is quite bulky...
Can the Labor General come over and help me move it?"
Gongsun An was stunned, and the others were even more happy, slapping the table and laughing. The wine lady was finally moved. Sure enough, the general was more useful than his mother's Qianniu Preparation.
Gongsun An was overjoyed and followed him, leaving a bunch of people behind him making fun of him.
