Chapter 167: The Palace's Small Banquet
。 I said: "Since ancient times, the elders and young have been orderly, respected and inferior, and the subordinate officials are subordinates, and they always remember their own identities. ”
After that, he met Wei Jia with the gift of his subordinates. Although Wei Jia is only one level higher than me in terms of rank, he is now promoted to the commander of the Fujian Metropolitan Commander, and his status is much higher than mine.
All the people that King Cheng wanted to invite had arrived, and he ordered the feast to be opened.
King Cheng raised his glass and said: "Come, this king respects the two of you with a glass, and I would like to congratulate you on your ascension!" ”
Wei Jia and I hurriedly got up with a cup and said, "Don't dare, it should be that we respect the prince, and it all depends on the prince's kind words in front of the emperor." ”
King Cheng waved his hand and said, "Sit, sit, don't stick to those false courtesies, just get together as a friend!" ”
I said to Wei Jia that I didn't dare to say goodbye, and I didn't have any trickle of wine left in the cup, and then sat down.
King Cheng ordered the little boy behind him to fill everyone with a new one, and said: "This is the twenty-year-old Huadiao brought by this king from Shaoxing, the taste can still be eaten, come, everyone drink two more cups!" ”
I have also stayed in Zhejiang for several years, and the name of this Huadiao wine is definitely familiar, but unfortunately I have never tasted it. I took a closer look at the clear jade liquid of orange blossom in the cup, smelled it on my nose, the wine was fragrant, I raised my glass and drank it, it was sweet and mellow in my tongue, and I couldn't help but praise: "Good wine!" ”
King Cheng smiled: "Since Commander Wang likes it, just drink a few more glasses, you're welcome!" "I have commanded it to be full.
After three glasses in a row, King Cheng said: "These drinks and food are all brought by this king from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I don't know if they are suitable for the taste of the two!" ”
Wei Jia said: "Xia Guan has also worked in Jiangsu for two years before, and he loves Jiangsu and Zhejiang food the most!" ”
I looked at the crab roe lion head, saltwater duck, and Dongpo meat on the table...... That plate of Taihu Ling reminded me of Tian Yunxin, and I couldn't help but feel homesick, and said: "Back to the prince, Xiaguan has been in Jiaxing for several years, and Zhejiang can also be regarded as Xiaguan's second hometown." ”
King Cheng said: "Oh, I didn't expect us to be so fateful, come, let's have a toast for this!" "King Cheng's fiefdom is in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, in a general sense, the three of us can be regarded as fellow villagers, and it is indeed fate.
King Cheng talked and laughed at the banquet, and did not put on the prince's shelf at all, and gradually, Wei Jia and I also let go of his identity as the prince, and the atmosphere was very warm.
In the mess of cups and plates, King Cheng raised his glass and said: "You two have come all the way and seen the high-rise buildings on the street, how do you feel?" ”
Wei Jia and I looked at each other, not daring to speak, although when I first met, I was also full of complaints, but I didn't have the courage to say it in front of King Cheng and Wei Jia, and went back to the house and secretly told Tian Yunxin that it was no problem.
Seeing that we were silent for a long time, King Cheng said, "Do you know how many families it takes for a prince like me to raise him?" ”
We still don't say anything.
"Sue you, a prince, the annual expenses are 20,000 households of the common people, and the king of the county wants 10,000 households, 7,000 horses, and 1,000 county horses! The money and silver that the imperial court spends on us rice worms every year requires hundreds of thousands of medium-sized households to pay taxes! ”
