Chapter 2 At the Banquet

After three rounds of drinking, the two grandfathers who are not good at drinking are a little drunk. was ordered by the prince to go to the side hall to drink sobering soup. But the voices of Prince Jane and Prince Xian grew louder and louder. Don't look at Prince Jian is very young, but he is Prince Xian's uncle, and he has a tone of teaching the younger generations in his speech: "I said Fu Shou, you Lao Tzu is the first general of our Qing Dynasty military merits, you don't learn from your Lao Tzu to rush and kill on the battlefield, but you have become the descendant of Yan Liu Ou Zhao, and he writes there with a brush all day long, as if he has a lot of knowledge." Our full of princes are all accomplished, eagles on horseback, not scholars who are soft all day long and disease-free......"

These words hurt Fu Shou's face, his prince was inherited from Prince Hauge of Ama Suwu, doesn't this mean that Fu Shou can only write a few words, and he is not worthy of inheriting the title of prince?

"Jidu! How to speak? He is the king of iron hats, and he inherits the name of the king. Prince An hurriedly whispered to Prince Jane, "Drink less!" Why does it seem that the tongue is no longer in the mouth? Fu Shou is your nephew, Prince Xian, equal to your title! ”

Prince Xian's face didn't know if it was because he drank too much wine or if Prince Jian's words were too rushing, and he was flushed red, if it wasn't for the second uncle's housewarming banquet, he really wanted to punch Prince Jian's nose.

The prince also hurriedly came to consol him, and first said to Prince Xian: "Your second uncle Jidu is too drunk, don't take it to heart," and then said to Prince Jian: "How did you become an uncle?" I don't know if I don't know the southeast and northwest of two or two small wines? I command that you be taken to the side hall and drink sobering soup. ”

"Don't price, don't price. Brother, although I was a little drunk, I was not drunk. Fu Shou, this kid, relied on Fulin to be his own uncle, and he didn't have my cousin in his eyes. ”

"Why don't I have you in my eyes? Is it possible that I have to make a board to provide you up? If you have nothing to do, I am ashamed that I am the prince of Chengjue, I am Chengjue, and that is also what my Lao Tzu gave his life to future generations. What did you fight again? Not yet the regent's aftermath? ”

Prince An coughed vigorously: "You two shut up for me!" Can't you look like a prince on this occasion today? As the saying goes, illness comes from the mouth, and if you don't care about it, aren't you afraid of bringing disaster to the women and children in the house? ”

The prince smiled and said to a palace maid who came over: "Go and bring two cups of strong tea to the two princes to sober up." ”

The palace maid agreed to leave, and after a while, she sent two cups of strong tea. The prince put two cups of strong tea in front of Prince Jian and Prince Xian respectively, still with a smile on his face: "We are all surnamed Aixin Jueluo, and we are all arranged by an ancestor, what can't we say to find a proper opportunity to discuss on another occasion?" Isn't attacking each other in such a big way a joke for those who oppose you? ”

Prince Jian sneered and said, "Anyway, the emperor doesn't want to see me, and I can only feel happy when I say something." ”

"Look at what you said, why doesn't the emperor treat you well? How can I make a decree to canonize you as Prince Jane? Didn't you make a great contribution in the battle to annihilate the Haikou in Fujian? ”

The prince lowered his voice and said, "Second brother knows that your temper is not in the right way with the emperor, but although he is the emperor, he is also a person in the world, not a god. It's not that God will have such and such shortcomings, among our brothers, you are the closest in age to the emperor, and you communicate better than others, can you try to talk to the emperor well? ”

"I'm talking to him? There are no doors! Since he is a brother on the ancestral board, why can't he level out a bowl of water? Needless to say, it's your house, which prince can live in a mansion like yours? Isn't it because you're the emperor's brother? "Okay, the spearhead is coming at the prince.

The prince smiled: "It turns out that the second brother's resentment is because of me, but the emperor gave me a mansion, and I refused, wouldn't it be disobedient?" What are the consequences of disrespect? Kill the head, the emperor gave me a house, I don't want it, and then chose a road where hundreds of people in the house were beheaded, I didn't eat enough to support it, right? Although the prince was smiling and talking, there was also a taste of displeasure in his tone.

Prince An whispered to Prince Jane and said, "Why do I think you are so evil today, the second brother provoked you?" According to his merits, the emperor rewarded a house, can't it? Do you still think it's out of line? Not convinced? Your mansion is the regent's mansion, and the area is much larger than that of the second brother, are you still not satisfied? Why don't you let the emperor drive the second brother's family to the street and give you this mansion? ”

"You know I didn't mean that!"

"So what do you mean? Second brother, what do you want to do if you are looking for evil spirit? Prince An's face sank and was about to drip, "You can't drink some wine and just take out everything, right?" Do you think that the second brother's credit is not as great as yours, or is he not worthy of living in this house? After that, he lowered his voice and continued: "Don't be angry with the second brother about that little matter between you and the emperor, you angered the emperor last month and were almost imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion, or the second brother told you about it, no matter how mixed you are, you can't be without a little gratitude, right?" ”

Prince Jane's anger was immediately knocked out by Prince An's words. If he is really imprisoned by the emperor in the prison of the Zongren Mansion, it will be accompanied by the fact that the prince's title will be cut off, and then the whole palace will be driven out of the regent palace. He is just the son of the regent and not the regent, and he continues to live here by relying on Lao Tzu's residual power, without his own mansion, where does the family live in hundreds of people? So the prince of the Jian Dynasty hugged his fists and apologized: "Second brother, don't be like a brother, brother apologizes." ”

The prince patted him on the shoulder, smiled and didn't say anything. This Prince Jian is really a civil and military all-rounder, and he really has his own unique views when leading troops to fight, but this jealousy and hatred and prickly temper that can be said regardless of the occasion make many people unacceptable. Sometimes it is specially exposed to people, which makes people lose face. The thing that the emperor looks down on Prince Jian the most is that he is arrogant and uninhibited, but he has always forgiven him, that is, the face of the regent Zilharang.

Looking at the other banquet tables that were guessing the boxing order and shouting, no one cared about the movement of this table, and the prince was relieved.

The words of the prince and the prince An made Prince Jian slowly calm down, yes, he just can't look down on Fulin anymore, no matter how big the problem of Fulin is, he is also the emperor. He is a prince, under one person, above ten thousand people, but no matter how big the prince is, he is also a slave in front of the emperor, as the so-called arm can't twist the thigh, the current emperor has grown up, and he has been in power for several years, and he has made some achievements, not Emperor Adou. Amma, who has been the regent for ten years, has also become an ancient, and he really can't compete with Fulin.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the main hall, and the general Ao Bai strode into the Xiaoyao Palace, and shouted loudly: "Lord Rui, you moved to a new house and didn't say a word to the last general, and the last general came with food to burn the bottom of the pot for you." ”

Burning the bottom of the pot is the custom of the north, the housewarming of the new home to set up a banquet to entertain relatives and friends, in the new home with a new pot stove to make food, indicating that the new home to start a new life, and did not hear that the guests to bring food, this worship is really ingenious.

Everyone was stunned, and everyone saw that there were four guards behind Ao Bai carrying a large iron pot, which was filled with a pot of cut mutton with bones.

Someone shouted happily: "Isn't this the material for finger lamb?" Good guy, there are twenty or thirty catties of mutton, even the ingredients are placed, and Lord Rui hurriedly prepares the stove to cook. ”

The prince smiled and hugged his fist at Ao: "This king thanks General Ao." Guard, you go and say hello to the people in the big kitchen, and the lamb is stewed with them. ”

Don't look at the five big and three rough of Ao Baichang, the first impression is that there is a brave and unscrupulous martial artist. In fact, this person is very strategic, and he is also very good at shooting horses, shooting just right and without showing traces. As the prince, he sent a pot of mutton, which is really not a valuable gift, but it is very appropriate, he knows that the people present today are all the brothers and nephews of the prince of Rui, and the lowest status is also the grandfather of the country, most of them have fought on the battlefield, and they have seen many valuable gifts. But eating finger lamb is a common hobby of everyone, and it would be a fool not to take this opportunity to make a good impression on them. Who would have thought that a few years later, this honest-looking person would become a traitor who brought disaster to the country and the people.

Today's banquet was carefully arranged and prepared by the prince's concubine, the Fu Jin Tong family. Tong is an out-and-out housewife who "can go up to the hall and go down to the kitchen", and is particularly proficient in meals and clothing, and began to train the chef of the big kitchen for this housewarming banquet half a month ago. If it weren't for the prince and the prince An to suppress Prince Jane's anger, maybe there would be some chaos today, it is not uncommon for the brothers to lift the table when they talk about breaking the strings at the banquet, if that is the case, Fujin is not only hard in vain, but also very lose face, full of men, especially people in high positions, especially those in high positions, especially love face, and are reprimanded in front of everyone, they are likely to be angry and lose their minds. Fortunately, Prince Xian didn't contradict Prince Jian too much, and Prince Jian also realized his impulse and took a step back, otherwise, both of them would have formed a bond.

Fortunately, most people today think that the wine and food at the banquet are very exquisite, and they eat with their mouths full of oil, and the delivery can be regarded as completely reducing this scene. did not let the host of the banquet work hard in vain to annoy.

After the guests who came to congratulate the housewarming left one after another, the maids, small servants, personal soldiers, eunuchs, and even the guards all started to clean up the messy banquet surface. Many newcomers are glad that they have come to the Rui Palace, especially those palace maids who are worried in the palace and live on thin ice, they have been on an errand in the palace for most of the day, and they have not heard the scolding of any housekeeper or the eunuch in charge, they have never been to the banquet table, they can be the same as the prince, everyone eats more than 20 dishes around a table. Although it is a strange place, it is not so timid and afraid.

After cleaning up, the prince asked the people of the palace to wait and stand in the palace, and said to everyone: "You are a member of this big family when you come to the house, and I hope that you can do a good job here with one heart and one mind in the future, abide by the rules of the house, help each other, and make our Rui Wangfu a relatively clean place without blood, conspiracy, and sorrow." ”

The prince expressed everyone's hopes: "You don't know yet, this king is a Buddhist layman, that is, a cultivator who is not a monk. In Buddhism, it is said that all living beings are equal, not to let everyone be the emperor and the prince, but to say that the personality is equal. This king will not look down on any girl because she is sweeping the floor, and he will not bully any father-in-law. So everyone should be at ease, don't make any mistakes, and don't do anything embarrassing. However, if a mistake is committed, it must also be punished, and the content of the punishment does not include cane or scourging. Well, not much to say, there is still half a day before dark, and the heads of each courtyard will do their best to arrange everyone's accommodation, and then you can take a stroll around the house, just to familiarize yourself with the environment in which you will live in the future. Let's get busy. ”

In the afternoon, people began to walk around the house in twos and threes, just as the prince said, I want to be familiar with my future living environment, I can't find where the master tells you to go, isn't it a delay?
