Chapter 376 Toast
“Thank you is too easy to say. Why don’t you, Master Yan, offer us a glass of wine to express your gratitude?”
As soon as Zhu Pingan finished speaking, this moment Luo Longwen, who was sitting at the table below Yan Shifan, raised his eyebrows and smiled at Zhu Pingan, and asked in a dark voice.
"What Mr. Luo said is absolutely true."
Zhu Pingan nodded and smiled, then filled himself a glass of wine, left the table, and came to Yan Shifan with the wine glass in both hands. He toasted to Yan Shifan and said: "Ping An has been taken care of by Master Yan many times since he entered the capital. Ping An is grateful in his heart. Today I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Master Yan."
"Zihou's words are serious, but it's just a little effort." Yan Shifan smiled and shook his head, stretched out his greasy hand and patted Zhu Pingan's shoulder twice.
In an instant, two greasy handprints were left on Zhu Ping'an's brand new No. 1 pick uniform, which was still reflective in the sun.
In this regard, Zhu Pingan turned a blind eye as if he was blind, and the gratitude on his face did not change at all.
"Master Yan, with a little effort, sent Ping An into the blue clouds. How dare you forget Ping An? Thank you so much, Mr. Yan."
Zhu Ping'an raised his glass to toast with both hands, looking respectful on the surface. The gratitude seemed very sincere, but in my heart, I was silently greeting Mr. Yan's female relatives.
Yan Shifan was very satisfied with Zhu Ping'an's knowledge. He patted Zhu Ping'an's shoulder twice with his greasy paws, and then grabbed a wine glass with his fat, greasy hands. Luo Longwen next to him filled Yan Shifan's glass diligently.
Yan Shifan casually picked up the wine glass with one hand, shook the glass towards Zhu Pingan from afar, and drank it all in one gulp; Zhu Pingan held the wine glass in both hands and toasted under Yan Shifan's glass, then picked up the wine glass with both hands. Drink it all in one gulp.
After toasting, Zhu Ping'an returned to his seat with four greasy handprints, his innocent smile on his face as calm as before.
Luo Longwen, who was standing next to him, said it was a pity when he saw this. He originally wanted to see Zhu Pingan's dissatisfied expression after his champion uniform was stained by oil, and then took the opportunity to attack. Unexpectedly, Zhu Pingan turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye.
However, there was no light in the east but light in the west. Luo Longwen was obviously well prepared. Seeing that he could not find an opportunity to attack from here, he attacked Zhu Ping'an from another breach.
"Speaking of the Zhuangyuan Tower, when I was in the Zhuangyuan Tower for the Zhuangyuan Lang, Mr. Shang and I were there. At that time, we also told the Zhuangyuan Lang some immature experiences. Why did the Zhuangyuan Scholar prefer one to another? He only toasted to our Lord Yan, but did not talk to him. "Master Monk, would you like to have a drink?" Luo Longwen sat there, looking at Zhu Ping'an like a poisonous snake spitting out his poisonous seeds, and asked gloomily.
Uh
This is Luo Longwen. The enthusiastic Luo Longwen in Zhuangyuanlou back then was too fake.
Looking at Luo Longwen's attitude of determined to get Zhu Pingan drunk before sleeping, Zhu Pingan only had this sentence in his heart: If you come out to fool around, you will have to pay back sooner or later. I just hid a lot of wine at the big favor banquet, and it seems I can't avoid it at this small favor banquet.
A round of toast at the opening ceremony is something that cannot be avoided at the wine table. Since you can't avoid it, you might as well face it and maybe drink less.
"How could it be? The wine glass is empty. Please wait until Ping An fills up the wine before greeting your lords." Zhu Pingan looked at Luo Longwen and smiled slightly.
So, Zhu Ping'an held the wine pot in one hand and the wine glass in the other, and toasted a glass of wine from Yan Shifan's right hand.
The process is generally to ask for the title, thank you for meeting me, pour the wine, toast with a cup in both hands, and please take care of me in the future. Anyway, it is just an official conversation, not much different from modern times, with some slight differences. That is, in ancient times, people did not clink glasses when toasting.
When he paid tribute to Shen Lian, Shen Lian looked at Zhu Pingan, smiled, and said:
"Zhu Pingan, Zhu Zihou, I finally know your name. Back then, Renning Street The fight over the money bag was thanks to the little brother who spoke up and got to the point. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult for me to punish the rogue.”
"Haha, Master Shen is joking. Even if I don't say it, Master Shen will definitely have a way to punish that rogue."
Zhu Ping'an felt a little excited when he heard Shen Lian calling him little brother. Lian is a famous person in history. He is an upright person, hates evil as much as he hates evil, and is a fighter against strictures. He is also famous for his "Ten Sparse Crimes" that will go down in history. He is one of the people in history that I admire more.
However, thinking about the scene when I first met Shen Lian in a small restaurant last time, when Shen Lian arrogantly scolded Yan Song in the restaurant after drinking, and the following things, I can also see that this historical celebrity I admire , 100% upright, but somewhat inflexible, and a bit arrogant in his hatred of evil.
While admiring him at that time, I felt a little sweat for him.
At this moment of toasting, Zhu Ping'an thought in his mind that after the training of the Ministry of Rites Honglu Temple was completed in a few days, he would find an opportunity to remind Xian Lian that his majesty was currently treating Yan Song at a time when the sacred certificate was prosperous, not an impeachment Yan Song's good time prevented Shen Lian from proposing "Ten Shu Sins" as early as in history. In addition, the content of "Ten Shu Sins" is also open to discussion. Pay attention to the wording and expressions. Some parts of this letter seem to be scolding Yan Song, but in fact they are also stepping on the tail of Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Jiajing was such a face-saving person. , especially because he was eccentric and prone to suspicion. Such "Ten Sins" were destined to be futile. Not only would they not be able to defeat Yan Song, but they would also make Emperor Jiajing unhappy.
Historically, Shen Lian mentioned the "Ten Sparse Sins" when Yan Song was in the ascendant. After submitting the letter, before Yan Song had time to react after hearing the news, Emperor Jiajing went berserk. It can be said that not long after the letter was submitted, no One day, Emperor Jiajing was so angry that he sent people to arrest Shen Lian. He ordered Shen Lian to frame the ministers of the court and punish him with a cane in public. He was stripped of his official position and sent to a remote place to become a commoner. A few years later, he was killed by Yan Shifan.
So, Zhu Pingan thought that after the training, he would find an opportunity to remind Shen Lian to avoid this tragedy.
"Ping'an deeply agreed with the poem "Prodigy Poem" written by Mr. Shen in the restaurant that day."
In order to remind Shen Lian later, it is necessary to gain Shen Lian's trust, so Zhu Ping'an did not touch it when toasting. Traces of what he said.
Shen Lian was startled at first, and then he remembered the two "Prodigy Poems" that he improvised that day:
If you take a break and study hard when you are young, you will be able to stand up with money; if you are strict with the prime minister, you will definitely use rich people.
The emperor attaches great importance to heroes, and his articles teach others. Everything is of inferior quality, but strictness is the only one that is high.
Both of these two poems were adapted to satirize Yan Song. Zhu Ping'an said that he believed in it, which meant that Shen Lian's revision was good. In other words, he agreed with Shen Lian's version of these two prodigy poems. He then hinted that he also had no good impressions of the old guy Yan Song.
"My little brother, who is the top scholar, must also have excellent works. If you don't dislike it, you can come to my humble room someday and let's talk together."
Shen Lian understood Zhu Ping'an's hint. , smiled and nodded. (End of chapter)
