Chapter Ninety-Five: The Night Banquet Ends
Wang Xian's plan was completely ended by an article by Xu Chen, and tonight's poetry meeting could not go on, with Xu Chen's pearl in front, I am afraid that no one would have the courage to take out their own works.
In this way, tonight's banquet has completely become Xu Chen's commendation meeting, in the face of more and more praises, Xu Chen can no longer respond with silence, so he has to stand up, pick up the wine glass on the table, and face the guests who also came with wine glasses, first respectfully return the salute, then say a few modest words, and finally ...... Endless drinking, drinking, drinking!
The atmosphere of the banquet was also mobilized by Xu Chen's article, and more and more guests began to leave their seats and move around in the name of congratulating Xu Chen.
Looking at the naked smiles on the faces of this group of people, the heads of these families who participated in Wang Xian's plan were eager to find a crack in the ground to get into. As a local family, they are now uniting with outsiders to calculate their own township party, which is already taking a big risk, if today's goal can be achieved, they can also comfort themselves with "success and defeat".
It's just that in this situation, I didn't even have time to implement the plan I made, and I was so completely defeated, but I really have no place to be ashamed!
In fact, to be honest, Wang Xian's plan is good, and the feasibility is also very high, plus they are prepared and unprepared, and the possibility of success is also very large. The poetry meeting is an occasion with a strong taste of competition, and the participants are all young people, so it's very simple to get a little angry. And even if someone is confident that their work can come out on top, they will be reserved and wait until the finale, which is the order of a normal poetry club!
However, who would have thought that Xu Chen, who was provoked, would take the lead in disregard of the rules, and it would be such an amazing masterpiece for the ages, this is ...... Let Wang Xian still carry out their plan?
If the plan can't go on, tonight's dinner party will completely lose its meaning, and the next thing will naturally be everyone's carnival, but the carnival is someone else's, and it has nothing to do with them......
Seeing that the situation had reached such a point, Wang Xian shook his head with a wry smile, and then also picked up the wine glass and began to join the team of appreciating Xu Chen.
The wine they drank was bitter or not, Xu Chen didn't know, what Xu Chen knew was that the wine in the wine glass in his hand had begun to be a little bitter, not the taste of the wine, but the taste of his own bile!
"Damn! This group of crazy people are sick! Lao Tzu wrote an article, what kind of joy are you blindly happier, one by one they all come to toast, if you don't drink it, you can't do it!" This is what Xu Chen wants to say most in his heart now.
The wine banquet in the Tang Dynasty was already arrogant, up to the Son of Heaven, when he drank at the banquet, he would take off his shirt and dance on the belly dance, not to mention the small people, who didn't even know their own mothers when they got drunk!
Although they are all people with status, it also shows that these are all people who drink a lot of alcohol! Although Xu Chen is a person who drinks soju, he can't stand the number of them! You can see for yourself, how many people are here! Not only in the Tengwang Pavilion, but also those people outside also ran in with the strength of wine, each person has at least one glass, and if you don't drink, you can't let go, if you don't drink, you will hold your hand and not let go, and you can't even pull Xu Fan around you. Xu Chen is about to drink hundreds of cups! Nima! Even if you drink so much boiled water, you have to vomit!
In the end, Xu Chen, whose consciousness had begun to be a little confused, finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell, and in order to help his apprentice block the wine, Xu Fan, who was also drunk, wanted to pull Xu Chen out, but he couldn't.
So, Xu Chen fell down completely, but his head didn't seem to hit a hard object as expected, it didn't hurt at all, but felt a little soft and comfortable! Xu Chen unconsciously turned his head and rubbed it. Hmmm!
The night banquet has completely degenerated into a carnival, and both the proud and the frustrated are enjoying this rare holiday.
Eventually, it wasn't until the middle of the moon that the crowd began to disperse, and I had no choice but to go to work tomorrow!
On the way home, there were not as many rules as when they came, and the head of the Luo family, who was already half-drunk, squeezed into Huang Xian's ox cart, and as soon as he entered, he opened his mouth full of alcohol.
"Haha, Wang Xian Lao'er still can't let out a fart this time, so I'm panicking!"
Huang Xian frowned when he heard that he was full of alcohol, but he didn't drive him out of the car, but instead stretched out his hand to straighten out the head of the Luo family, and even handed over a cup of ginseng tea, and then said: "Wang Xian's plan today is good! Unexpectedly, he can really catch us off guard, but what he didn't expect was that Brother Xu's apprentice would be so good! As soon as he made a move, his next plan was directly terminated." ”
"Yes, this Xu kid is really good, the article is good, and the person is also smart, Xu Fan has accepted a good apprentice this time!"
"Luo Zheng, it's someone's business that people are good, let's think about our own affairs!" Huang Xian said.
The head of the Luo family is named Luo Zheng, although he usually seems to like to raise the bar with Huang Xian, and even intentionally encourages his subordinates to compete with the subordinates of the Huang family to fight for face, but these are just problems that have been cultivated since childhood. The two grew up together almost since childhood, their family backgrounds are similar, they are close, and their parents are also world friends, so they naturally became small. Huang Xian is older, and he doesn't like to talk much since he was a child, but Luo Zheng has been a leather monkey since he was a child, jumping up and down, how can he stand Huang Xian's stuffy temperament. So he teased Huang Xian every day in a different way and made him angry, and this problem has always grown up with him, and it has not changed much so far.
But the two grew up together since childhood, and they are both only sons, and they have long regarded each other as their own brothers, Huang Xian is older, and naturally he won't mind anything about his "naughty" younger brother. Moreover, although Luo Zheng usually likes to make trouble, once he gets down to business, he will soon become serious, and this time is the same.
"Lao Huang, who did you say were pulled over by that Wang Xian this time?" Luo Zheng asked.
"Didn't you see it just now? Those who drink stuffy wine will only be more and not less!" Huang Xian took a sip of ginseng tea and said lightly.
Luo Zheng recalled for a moment, nodded, and said, "Then what should we do?"
Huang Xian looked at the teacup in his hand for a moment before saying, "There's no movement over there, let's wait and see what happens!"
Hearing this, Luo Zheng nodded, as for which side "over there" was, only the two of them could know it.
The same conversation took place almost every ox cart on the way back, between people who were still awake.
On the Lu family's ox cart, Lu Zongtai sighed helplessly and said, "Alas, it is in heaven that people make things happen!"
After sighing, he looked at his younger brother, but saw that his younger brother was still looking into the distance in a daze, Lu Zongtai followed his younger brother's line of sight, but did not find anything worth paying attention to. The inexplicable Lu Zongtai had no choice but to reach out and pat his distracted younger brother, and called him back again: "Zongbao, what are you looking at?"
"Oh, big brother!" Lu Zongbao replied casually.
Lu Zongtai saw that his younger brother was still worried, so he asked, "What are you thinking?"
Lu Zongbao shook his head and said, "It's nothing!"
Although the younger brother said this, the elder brother seemed to understand something, and then smiled and said, "Zongbao, you shouldn't be thinking about the woman of the Wang family, right?"
When Lu Zongbao heard his brother's words, he was shocked, and then shook his head quickly, and kept saying, "How can there be! Big brother, don't talk nonsense!"
It's just that a blush appeared on his face.
"My Fair Lady, what a gentleman is! What is this? If Zongbao really likes the woman of the Wang family, the elder brother will run for you tomorrow and go to Wang Taishou to make peace for you. Lu Zongtai said with a smile, as an elder brother, he was serious. Although Lu Zongtai has not yet married a wife, but since his younger brother likes it, he must help him, Lu Zongtai can be said to have no relatives, only a younger brother who depends on each other, and he naturally has to try his best to meet his brother's few requirements.
Lu Zongbao was indeed happy for a while when he heard his brother's words, but it was only temporary, and then he lowered his head again, and said dejectedly: "She is the daughter of the head of the Wang family, let's ...... I can't climb it!"
The other party is the daughter of the head of the Taiyuan Wang family, although they are also the children of the Lu family of Fanyang, but their current status is not even comparable to the branch of the Lu family, how dare they climb high? Only at this time, Lu Zongbao, who is usually high-spirited, will be so decadent, and he is also a child of the family He understands how important the concept of the family in marriage is, and with his current status, he is indeed not worthy of Wang Lin!
When Lu Zongtai heard his brother's words, he was also silent, just like being banished, they could only deceive the uninformed people with the hat of Fan Yang Lu, but if they wanted to fight for the daughter of the head of the family who was also a thousand-year-old family, they were indeed a little more than willing to do it.
But as an elder brother, he couldn't give up like this, he cheered up and said to his younger brother: "Zong Bao, don't worry, my brother will definitely work hard to help you fight!"
Lu Zongbao smiled, he knew that this was his brother's words of comfort, and he was a little relieved, but he didn't take it too seriously.
On the ox cart of the Wan family, Wan Shijun said to his father: "Dad, is this Wang Xian ready to do it?"
"It's not necessarily, according to my father, today he just wants to show his strength and deter those wall-riding factions. Wan Dezhao replied lightly.
"Hehe, it's just that what Wang Xian didn't expect was that today's good start turned out to be a great sound, and the latter means couldn't be used, so it must be quite depressing!" Wan Shijun couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Wang Xian's expression when he drank wine just now.
When Wan Dezhao heard his son's words, he also smiled and said, "We are too guarded! ”
"Dad, it's not the literati popularity, I think it's almost sour! The sour smell of a poor scholar!" Wan Shijun said with a smile, "It's just! What he didn't expect was that there was a ruffian who didn't follow the rules, and what was even more funny was that this ruffian was still brilliant!"
Wan Shijun's words carried a slight smile, not only did he not have much awe for Wang Xian, the state minister, but even Xu Chen, who helped him, and Xu Chen's literary talent, as if these were not what he needed as a family......
