143. Flower sticks

Fortunately, Gu Shi came out with a smile to solve the siege, and said: "The head office is also strange and boring for this kind of wine order, let's change it." ”

Everyone was good, Gu asked Min Xuanwei to think of a new way to order, Min Xuanwei glanced at the table of the female guests, and said with a smile: "Since there are many young ladies today, let's play a order that girls like," said he turned his head and asked the waiter to take the lottery holder, and then said to everyone, "This is a new way to play in the palace, called 'folding flower order', because you are coming today, so I prepared it in advance yesterday." ”

The waiter took two sticks, Min Xuanwei put the big one in the center of the table, and the small one shook it in his hand, and then pulled out one and read the words on it: "'The spring breeze wants to be good at autumn and skillful, urging out the orchid and the plum.'" 'Please have a drink with the people of Lan Yuesheng here. ”

In ancient times, there was a representative flower in December, for example, July was also called the orchid moon, so everyone born in July had to drink alcohol.

saw a son and two young ladies drinking the wine in the cup together, Min Xuanwei asked the three of them to draw the sticks in the big stick, the boy drew first, and took it out and read: "Powder the darkest person in the seat." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, this wine order is interesting, and it will play tricks on people.

There was already a waiter who took out the prepared fat powder, and the boy smiled and picked a dark-skinned boy on the seat, dipped it in the fat powder and applied it to his face.

"Don't break up, don't wipe it!" everyone laughed and said to him.

Next, the two ladies drew lots, one drew the "hairpin for the oldest person in the seat", and the other drew the "whole crown for the tallest person in the seat" , So Min Xuanwei was hairpinned with a big red hydrangea on his head, which made everyone laugh and lean back together, the tallest is a son, a big man of more than one meter and eight, the young lady who wants to make the crown for him can't reach it on tiptoe, so he has to keep jumping up and reaching out to get it, but the crown is not straightened out, but the boy's hair is scattered, which makes everyone laugh uncontrollably, even Qin Zhiyu forgot for a moment to continue to pile hatred on Yan Qi, laughing and clapping his hands next to him.

Because it was three people who answered the question, the three people guessed the boxing, and the one who won the lottery was drawn out to be "the heavy door is deeply locked and there is nowhere to be found, and it is suspected that there are thousands of peach flowers." Taoyue is March, Min Xuewei responded to the question, toasted first, drew the order to sign out, and saw that it was "three cups with the strongest person in the seat", so she got up and took the pot, but did not go to the man's table, but went to Yan Qi's side, poured wine into Yan Qi's cup in the surprised eyes of everyone, and then poured it into her cup, raised her glass slightly, and said: "Do it first for respect." He drank all the wine in his cup.

-- The Min family wants to befriend the Yan family? Everyone has their own thoughts for a while.

Is it possible that Min Yan is a good friend? Yan Zike's goods are a lonely minister who is well known to the court! Even though he often interacts with other powerful ministers, they are only superficial feelings, due righteousness, or daily personal friendships, and the so-called "lonely ministers" are ministers who never ask for help in political affairs, are mavericks, and do not recognize their relatives!

So why did Yan Zichen stay at the border for nearly ten years without being transferred back to the DPRK to serve! Of course, it is because he has a deterrent power that other generals do not have in the surrounding barbarians, but also because his brother Yan Zike is destined to be an unsheathed fast knife in the emperor's hand, which can not only hurt the enemy but also may accidentally cut his hands and feet, so he had to put this powerful sibling far away from the border, not only to avoid being framed or co-opted by people with ulterior motives, but also to make the emperor trust and use this fast knife to do those who are most likely to offend people. The most thankless thing that the emperor wants to do and is embarrassed to do - don't look at Yan Zike, who is nominally a servant of the criminal department, who is only in charge of crimes, and he is not sure how many secret decrees that the emperor handed over to outsiders behind his back!

Not to mention far away, just say that in March, Prince Li's prince was taken away from his hands because of that murder, isn't that an example? On the surface, the prince was punished because of his godson's lack of direction, but in fact, people with a keen sense of smell have long seen that the emperor has been unhappy with Prince Li's father and son for a long time, but for various reasons, there has been no excuse to do it, and the root cause does not need to be said, only that Yan Zike is too good at seizing the opportunity, and he is another person, even if he knows the truth of the case, he pretends not to know and helps to get through, anyway, the murderer and the deceased are from Prince Li's family, and they have not harmed others- As a result, this goods is not biased, but he just bites it and does not let go, and he takes out the prince of Li alive and hangs it in the public, and then there are those transparent imperial historians who impeached him in the pot, and the emperor was happy to push the boat and turned the prince into a bare-rod idle man who could only eat and wait for death.

It is said that the emperor was in a good mood in those days.

The wicked people have all let Yan Zike do it, and there are countless things like this, who wants to make friends with such a lonely minister? Who can make friends? The Min family seems to be ready to move, what benefits do they want to seek from it? Concubine Min is now pregnant with the dragon seed, is this not enough?

The direction of the wind in the court changes day by day, and these future courtiers and wives will inevitably think about it early.

The two parties didn't seem to think much about it, Yan Qicai didn't eat much, but the wine was poured into his stomach, seeing that Min Xuewei was so simple, of course, it was not easy to refuse, so he drank three glasses with her in a row, and when he sat down again, he felt that he was starting to go up, and everyone was crooked and slanted.

Although the wine provided by the Min family is not high, it can't stand drinking too much, Yan Qi thinks that he should really learn cultural knowledge in the future, otherwise he will be crushed by the top students at the wine table.

When I went to Min Xuewei to shake the flower stick, I saw that it was "only the atrium grass was seen through the curtain, and a tree of pomegranate was still open." ”

The moon is May, Min Xuanwei stood up with a smile and signed the sign, but he heard a "snap" on the female guest table, someone knocked over the wine glass, and saw that it was Miss Wei, who raised the wine glass with a red face, and seemed to be a little nervous.

"Miss Wei, let's smoke first. Min Xuanwei looked at Miss Wei with a smile.

Miss Wei half-bowed her head, picked in the lottery holder for a while, and didn't know if it was a difficulty in choosing, but anyway, she finally picked one out, and read the words on it softly: "Hair for the earliest one born in the seat." ”

The earliest day of birth refers here to the earliest day, regardless of the year, but only the first day. Everyone said their birthday, but only Min Xuanwei was the first to live, which was a coincidence, and it should be on his head, so he sat on the chair with a smile, the waiter brought a comb, and Miss Wei stood behind him to comb his hair again and curl it up.

Miss Wei is a meticulous person, and it took a long time to comb Min Xuanwei's hair, and when Min Xuanwei drew lots, she saw that it was written "Thrush for the one who is closest at this moment".

The closest to him was Miss Wei, who had just finished curling his hair and was waiting on the side, and everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw this, but because Gu's face was not good for joking with these two, Gu was very generous, asked people to take her eyebrow pencil, and told Min Xuanwei not to draw Miss Wei's eyebrows.

Min Xuanwei invited Miss Wei to sit on the chair, bent down and took the pen to draw carefully, Miss Wei was a little shy, her face was flushed, she didn't dare to move with her eyelids down, and it took a long time to draw the eyebrows, and then continued to draw lots.

Everyone had a good time, and half an afternoon passed in a blink of an eye, Min Xuanwei stopped the game with a smile, asked people to withdraw the banquet, replaced it with refreshments, and then smiled and said to everyone: "You must have been waiting for a long time, the time is almost the same, you can see the scenery." ”

I've seen the surrounding scenery for half an afternoon, so what else can I see?

Min Xuanwei got up and led everyone into the hall from Xuanzhong, and through a floor cover, everyone saw a staircase leading to the ground.

The regulars of the Ziyang Immortal Pavilion followed the Min family who led the way down the stairs unhurriedly, Miss Wei and Qin Zhiyu, who came for the first time, were a little curious, Yan Qi and Young Master Yan Jiu walked at the end, and when they went down the stairs, Young Master Yan Jiu slowly stretched out a hand and held Yan Qi's fleshy arm.

"I'm fine. Yan Qidao knew that her brother was afraid that she would be unstable in her drunkenness.

"How much is this?" Young Master Yan Jiu stretched out a finger and pointed it in front of her eyes.

"II. Yan Qi teased him.

"I didn't ask you to judge yourself. Young Master Yan Jiu said.

Yan Qi: "......" I was wrong.

After going down the stairs, everyone was already on the basement floor of the Ziyang Immortal Pavilion, and saw that it was a stone room, and there was a door on the side facing the staircase, and when the door was opened, Qin Zhiyu and Miss Wei couldn't help but let out an exclamation in unison.

Outside the door is a glass house built underwater!

Seeing that the wall of this house is made of stone, except for the wall connected to the stone room, the other three sides are glass, and the top of the head is also glass, and when you look up, you can see the water above the glass and the sky above the water.

Qin Zhiyu and Miss Wei and one or two other first-time guests were all stunned, and Yan Qi also felt that this house was very magical-how rebellious is the technology of making glass in this era?

And no matter what, the facts in front of her are so clear to sΓΉ her, a traveler: never underestimate the ancients.

"That's amazing...... "Miss Wei and the other two or three first-time guests would have said only one sentence at this point.

The water in the pool outside the glass house is very clear, I think someone is often responsible for cleaning up, there are red carp in the pool, and occasionally swim through the glass wall in groups, this kind of "people in the water, frolicking with the fish" novel feeling makes the new and old guests are full of interest.

A few new guests stared at the glass house for a long time, except for water and plankton, they couldn't help but feel regretful, but the old familiar customers looked at Min Xuanwei with a smile unhurriedly, Min Xuanwei no longer sold Guanzi, and said to the next person: "Is the glass car ready?"

The glass car in Min Xuanwei's mouth has been placed in the Xuanzhong, the appearance looks like a sedan chair composed of glass, about two meters high, one meter long and one meter wide, there is a small wheel at each of the four corners of the bottom, which can be moved, and only one person can enter the car, sealed firmly, and a long glass tube extends upwards at the top for ventilation.

"When the people go in, they put the car into the pool, and there is a person rowing a boat on it, and they connect the boat with a rope to the car in the water, so that when the boat rows up, they can drive the car in the water forward, and row the boat around the pool a few times, and the people in the car under the water can also see the situation in the lake. "There are regular customers who introduce the beauty of this glass car to new customers on behalf of the host.

"It's so interesting!" The eyes of the newcomers are shining, others can only swim on the surface of the lake, but they can swim under the lake, this is a once-in-a-lifetime fun story!

"Please visit the first time to our pavilion," Min Xuanwei smiled and glanced at Qin Zhiyu and Miss Wei, who were eager to try, "Old guests wait for the time being, I would like to stay in the pavilion to eat tea, or I would like to go to the glass house to enjoy the scenery again, please feel free, new guests come with me." ”

The Yan Qi sisters and brothers and several other newcomers followed Min Xuanwei to the glass car, there were only two in total, and Gu Shi smiled and said to a few people: "Let the ladies try it first." As he spoke, he handed Qin Zhiyu and Miss Wei a fire fold and a fireworks stick, and explained: "When the glass car is under the water, the people on the boat are not easy to receive the information of the people inside, if they are scared inside, or if there is any emergency, they will light the cigarette stick and put it into the ventilation tube, and the smoke will come out of the water from the pipe, and the people on the boat can see it at a glance, and they will immediately pull the glass car out of the water." ”

It's so thoughtful. Qin Zhiyu and Miss Wei nodded again and again, both eager to try.

It is a little embarrassing when entering the glass car, it turns out that in order to ensure the sealing effect of the glass car, the door is not a fan type, but a pull-out type stuck in the slot, the door panel should be pumped upward, and because it is relatively high, it can only be pulled open half, so two people can only squat and drill into the opening below, and then put the door down to do a sealing treatment.

When the two of them got into the glass car, a group of people from the Min family came up, set the rope of the rope, the cart of the cart, and fix a very heavy balance frame on the outside of the car, and there were also small wheels on the feet to prevent the glass car from floating or overturning in the water, and then slowly pushed the car into the water from a tilting platform leading to the water, only the glass tube for ventilation was exposed on the water surface, and the two boats used to pull the glass car were eight strong men on each boat, just in case.

The boat is a big boat, with sufficient buoyancy, and it is also guaranteed to pull the glass car in the water.

Then the two boats set off, rowed off on the left and right, and began the journey around the pond, according to Min Xuanwei, it took half an hour to go around the pond, and the people in the Xuan no longer stared, or sat back at the table to drink tea and chat, or still went to the glass house below to have fun.

Yan Qi and Young Master Yan Jiu both stayed in the Xuan to drink tea, Min Xuewei sat over, and said to Yan Qi: "I'm sorry, I have already given Mr. Tu a post, I think he has something to do temporarily, and he didn't come." ”

"It's okay. Yan Qi remembered that she had forgotten to ask her uncle what Mr. Tu did for a living.

Min Xuewei looked at Young Master Yan Jiu, who was sitting next to Yan Qi and drinking tea slowly, and said, "There is a question about Su Ci, there are a total of 42,863 works of Tang Dynasty poetry in the world, and there are more than 20,000 Song Dynasty poems, how can you memorize them all by heart at the age of Yan Jiu Gongzi?"

It turned out that this person was still thinking about losing to Young Master Yan Jiu in the poem spelling at the birthday banquet of the prince of the last court.

There are more than 62,000 works in the whole Tang Dynasty poems and all Song Ci, even if Young Master Yan Jiu starts to memorize them at the age of three, he has to memorize more than 20 poems every day, not to mention that he must review them often to not forget, not to mention that he will not only read Tang poems and Song Ci, where does the time come from to absorb so much knowledge, and what method can he use to remember so much knowledge so firmly?
