Chapter 850 Drinking Order
While Concubine Lu Jing’s jade body came out of the bath, the banquet jointly organized by King Yu and King Jing also kicked off.
In the "One Pond and Two Mountains" garden, the music of the piano is melodious, the silk and bamboo are melodious, and the singing girl sings chapters from the "Book of Songs" gracefully.
There is a group of slim girls in the center of the lotus pond, dressed in white gauze, dancing the dance of picking weeds from "The Book of Songs" with elegant steps. The lotus feet are dancing, ups and downs, lowering the waist lightly, spinning and flying, wearing rings. Sound...
This is the scene of the teacher appreciation banquet.
The "One Pond and Two Mountains" garden is a famous garden in the capital. It was King Jing's idea to choose this place for the thank you ceremony.
In fact, the teacher-appreciation banquet was said to be jointly organized by King Yu and King Jing, but in fact everyone knew that King Yu only had a name, and the teacher-appreciation banquet was actually hosted by King Jing.
From the location selection of the thank-you banquet to the dishes, decoration and souvenirs, everything was handled by King Jing single-handedly.
The "One Pond and Two Mountains" garden has long been famous in the capital and is the last work of a generation of garden master Dongfang Liang.
A spoon can replace water, a fist can replace mountains, you can enjoy the joy of mountains and forests without leaving the city walls, and you can enjoy the joy of forests and springs while living in a busy city.
This is the concept of one pond and two mountain gardens.
A lively lotus pond, two rockeries with unique shapes, coupled with winding paths and winding peaks, like pavilions and pavilions floating on the water, form the unique "one pond, two" in the world. "Mountain" Garden.
You can have a panoramic view of the flowers and plants in spring, the shade of trees in summer, the red leaves in autumn, and the snow scenery in winter without leaving the garden.
The "One Pond and Two Mountains" Garden is the property of Zuixianlou. Early this morning, Zuixianlou announced that the "One Pond and Two Mountains Garden" will not be open to the public, just to fully entertain King Jing's appreciation banquet. On weekdays, The top-notch chefs who were enjoying themselves in the back kitchen all went to battle today and took care of the cooking themselves.
Even a master chef who was good at making chickens in Tongzhou was quickly brought back by Zuixianlou and forwarded to King Jing and his party to make chickens.
The singers, dancers and musicians in the garden are all well-known courtesans in the capital. They are excellent in both sex and art, and are famous far and wide. Even the well-cultivated daughters of ordinary wealthy families are not as good as these courtesans. People are talented.
After the lecture in the morning, King Jing invited Zhu Pingan and others to the "One Pond and Two Mountains" garden and held a thank-you banquet.
The arrangement of the teacher-appreciation banquet is also imitated in the style of the pre-Qin Dynasty. Each person has a separate table and kneels at the table to eat.
King Jing and King Yu were jointly in charge, and the rest were seated according to their seniority.
Zhu Pingan was the least senior and sat at the bottom of the table. The seat in front of him was Yang Guoliang, who had been defeated by Zhu Pingan in the morning.
During the lecture in the morning, Yang Guoliang also lectured on "Plucking Wei", which won applause from the whole room and saved a lot of face.
Now there is another high-ranking Zhu Ping'an in the seat.
Yang Guoliang felt that he was superior to Zhu Pingan. He glanced at Zhu Pingan and raised his chin again.
"SB!"
Zhu Ping'an took Yang Guoliang's behavior into his eyes and silently twitched the corner of his mouth. With such delicious food on the record, you don't lower your head to eat the food, but hold your head high to eat the air. .
King Jing was very good at being a good person. He encouraged everyone to drink and add food, and took good care of everyone at the banquet. Soon the banquet was in a good mood.
The wine is intoxicating and the literary spirit is high.
Drinking began at the banquet, with poems accompanying the wine and couplets adding to the fun, pushing the banquet to one climax after another.
Mr. Liu Boxing was elected as the master of the thank you banquet by everyone. The master issued the order, and the others took turns to say poems or couplets according to the order. Those who disobeyed the order or lost would be fined one or more drinks.
Mr. Liu is rich in experience. Under his chairmanship, the atmosphere of the banquet went to a higher level.
At the beginning of the couplet, those who can't answer the couplet can drink. However, everyone here is an expert, and there are basically few who can't answer the couplet.
In view of this, Mr. Liu changed the rules and changed it to drinking only if the answer is correct.
"Everyone, please stop drinking wine and listen to my order. The wine for this banquet is a hundred years old, and we must not let it down. I will say the first couplet, and only the one who answers the second link can drink. The opposite person will drink. Those who follow the second couplet will continue to make the first couplet, and only those who meet the upper couplet can drink, and so on. Do you understand? "
Mr. Liu asked everyone at the banquet to put down their wine glasses and said this new line with a smile. rule.
"I will obey the order." Everyone replied with a smile.
"The sun is in the east, the moon is in the west, and the clear words are formed in the sky." Mr. Liu pondered for a while and wrote a first couplet.
This couplet is a split word couplet, and it also contains the oriental words of east and west, so it is a relatively difficult couplet.
After Mr. Liu came out with this couplet, everyone began to think deeply.
"The son is on the right, the woman is on the left, the world is destined to be a good person." While everyone was still thinking, Yang Guoliang was the first to read the second couplet.
"Good, Dr. Yang, please drink this cup." Mr. Liu praised him and personally poured a glass of wine for Yang Guoliang with the wine bottle in hand.
"Color."
Everyone also praised it in unison.
"Thank you, Mr. Liu, and thank you all for your kindness."
Yang Guoliang took the wine glass with both hands, drank it all in one gulp, then stood the empty glass upside down to show everyone that he had drank it all, and turned to When Zhu Pingan was there, he found that Zhu Pingan was busy immersing himself in the half of the roast chicken on the plate without even looking at him.
"Rice bucket."
When Yang Guoliang saw this, he curled his lips in disdain and moved his lips silently, mocking Zhu Ping'an for not having seen the world.
"Dr. Yang asked for a couplet, and only those who answered it can drink." Mr. Liu reminded.
"I will obey the law. Please listen carefully, gentlemen. My first couplet is: "Take the two rivers, arrange eight formations, six out and seven captures, five feet of original lanterns with forty-nine lights, only to fulfill three wishes." '" Yang Guoliang bowed his hand to Mr. Liu, and then said his first couplet.
The long couplet produced by Yang Guoliang is even more difficult than the one produced by Liu Boxing just now. The couplet contains the numbers one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ninety. It describes another famous voice of Zhuge Liang. He wants to It is even more difficult to fight against it and form a connection.
So, after Yang Guoliang published this first couplet, everyone fell into thinking.
Only Zhu Ping'an was still immersed in the food on the plate, unable to answer, as if I simply gave up.
This made Yang Guoliang look down upon Zhu Pingan even more.
“Hiccup”
While everyone was still thinking, a hiccupping sound came out.
As soon as he heard this voice, Yang Guoliang knew that it must be Zhu Pingan beside him. He turned around and saw that it was indeed Zhu Pingan.
I ate too much and choked.
Zhu Ping'an smiled awkwardly at everyone, then stretched out his hand to pick up the cup on the side, preparing to take a sip of tea to soothe his throat.
"Zihou, stop it. You can only drink after seeing Dr. Yang's couplet." Mr. Liu sat on the seat and stopped Zhu Ping'an with a smile.
"Ping'an wants to drink tea, not wine." Zhu Ping'an explained sheepishly.
"The same is true for wine, and the same is true for tea." Mr. Liu smiled and shook his head, "I am the commander here, and I have the final say." (End of Chapter)
