On March 30, the weather was sunny and the temperature was moderate, which was very suitable for banquets.

On this day, the servants of the Juguo Mansion ran on the various roads in Chang'an from early in the morning to deliver invitations.

The palace is a must to go, as the Honglu Temple of the two dynasties, the emperor and the emperor have to be invited!

Then, Fang Qiao, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, and Lao Cheng next door......

All the officials who could wear purple robes in the court, the county dukes, county dukes, and national dukes in the noble circle, as well as the officials of the Qin Wangfu family who had a good relationship with Tang Jian were all sent invitations.

It's a lot, but it's actually not too much, and there are only about 200 people including women and children. If you don't follow the food sharing system for eight people per table, it will be less than 30 people per table.

However, Datang still has a food sharing system, and Tang Laosi has not had much time to meddle in the banquet in the past two days, so today's banquet in the Juguo Mansion is still divided into two places as usual.

one is dedicated to women and children for banquets, in the courtyard of the inner courtyard; The other is dedicated to the men's feast, in the courtyard of the outer courtyard.

At the beginning of the unitary period, officials began to arrive. Tang Jian and his wife dressed up to greet him.

"I've seen Brother Tang! Sister-in-law! ”

"Brother, please come in, the outer courtyard is male, and the inner courtyard is female!"

......

A conversation like this lasted for half an hour at the door of the Ju Guo Mansion, and Tang Jian and his wife's smiling faces were a little stiff.

All the invited guests finally arrived, and the banquet of the Juguo Mansion officially began.

The first to appear is still tonight's delicacies, and the varieties in the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard are the same. Although it is not said that the jade plate is worth 10,000 dollars, the Juguo Mansion is an old Guogong mansion, and there are still all kinds of meat such as fish, good mutton, and cattle that do not pay attention to the sick and died.

After the food, there must be wine.

It's a little different from what it used to be.

In the past, no matter who the banquet was, it was a big jar, and even the strongest Sanle pulp was packed in a five-catty jar.

Today, the fine wine of the Juguo Mansion has been replaced by a white porcelain wine jug that can only hold a pound of wine at most, and the wine glass has also changed from a wine bottle to a small white porcelain glass that is only slightly larger than a thumb.

This......

Is it because Tang Laosi was defeated a few days ago, so there was some material shortage in the mansion?

It's also a loss that the Tang Dynasty's wine banquet is not interested in gift-giving, otherwise I don't know if the officials and nobles present will treat the dinner of the Juguo Mansion as the night banquet of Wei Shanjun in a certain fantasy book - circle money!

Unlike the stinky men in the outer court, the women in the inner court are still the best fruit wine that has been stored in the Guogong Mansion for a long time. However, wine is obviously not a topic that women care about.

One by one, the ladies gathered around the Duchess of Ju Guo and asked, "Madam, why are you so fragrant?" ”

Yuan Shi smiled slightly, didn't give a positive answer, just said: "Sisters, the banquet is about to start, let's have a banquet first, and then take time to explain it to everyone!" ”

The ladies obviously don't cooperate with the Yuan family, which woman doesn't want to make herself fragrant and beautiful, let the men in her family indulge in themselves a little and then get a few fewer concubines?

Faced with this situation, the Duchess of Juguo was quite helpless, so she could only pull the queen and secretly stuff a small bottle and hand out a look for help.

Empress Changsun hid her hand in her sleeve, played with the small bottle without a trace, and said with a smile: "Sisters, let's have a banquet first, I believe that Sister Yuan will give everyone a satisfactory answer!" ”

With the queen's relief, the banquet in the inner courtyard finally officially began.

At the same time, at the banquet in the outer courtyard, Ju Guogong had not yet had time to hurriedly raise his wine glass to announce the start of the banquet.

The Emperor Taishang, who was sitting in the seat of the main guest of the banquet, raised his eyebrows and said, "Tang Jian, I'm afraid this little wine is not enough to drink!" Why don't you let Li Er order someone to go to the palace and move over? ”

His Majesty Li Er also said with a wicked smile: "What my father said is very true, a good banquet, don't lose your interest because of wine." I know that your fourth child has spent a lot of money these days, so I will let me out of the wine tonight, how about it? ”

The malicious ridicule of the two generations of emperors made Tang Jian snort coldly in his heart, and he wanted you to look good for a while!

With a silent smile on his face, he explained: "Everyone, maybe everyone thinks like Your Majesty that Tang is stingy and uses such a small bottle to fill wine!" However, what Tang wants to say is that this is a brand new drink, don't look at the small glass and wine jug! Tang dares to guarantee that tonight's wine will be full! ”

It is also thanks to Tang Jian's good reputation, and the banquet is full of people who are okay on weekdays, otherwise I am afraid that there will be boos at this time.

I saw Tang Jian pick up the wine jug and pour it into his cup.

People not far from Tang Jian could clearly see that the liquid gushing out of the spout was transparent!

Is this not water?

A trace of mockery flashed on Tang Jian's face without a trace, he had never seen such a clear drink, right?

Hum! It's not Tang who is targeting, everyone here is scum!

Ju Guogong's head rose slightly, and he held the wine glass in both hands and said, "Everyone, come, let's make this glass first!" If there are still people who question that Tang doesn't drink enough, Tang will admit defeat first when he drinks in the future! ”

"Shhh

The guests of the banquet all took a deep breath, this is a big bet for a good drinker! Surrender first when drinking, I'm afraid that the name of good wine will instantly become "every time you drink, you will lose"!

However, shock is shock, and the wine still has to be poured full.

When the glass is filled with wine, the rich aroma of wine is the first to arrive.

Is it spicy, clear, so mellow, could it be that Tang Jian didn't lie, it was good wine?

Well! It should be like this, otherwise how could my throat agitate, otherwise how could I swallow saliva?

The guests at the banquet, including Li Er and Li Yuan, all those who are good at drinking, have this idea.

Taking advantage of the faint light of the sky and the giant butter candle that had been lit, Tang Jian glanced at the current situation of the banquet, and a smile appeared on his face, obviously satisfied with everyone's shock.

"Come on, it's done!"

Ju Guogong roared, picked up the wine glass and drank it all!

"Uh-huh!"

A glass of wine, about half a tael, swallow it in one gulp. The spicy poured in from his throat, and Tang Jian, who drank this soju every day these days, could only forcibly suppress the fire and did not erupt.

Li Yuan and Li Er picked up the wine glass and poured it into their mouths!

Suddenly, I didn't have time to swallow it, I just felt that what was wrapped in my mouth was not wine, TMD was fire!

His face quickly became ruddy, which was forcibly endured by two generations of emperors, and tears seemed to start rolling in his eyes.

"Poof!"

At this moment, an erupting sound came from the side, and Li Er looked sideways with difficulty, it was Du Ruhui, who had been a little weak recently, who couldn't bear it at all, and squirted out the liquor in his mouth at once!

"Poof!"

There was another eruption, it was Wei Chigong, who had always been very drinker, squirting!

"Poof!"

His Majesty Li Yuan and Li Er, who were flushed and had green tendons on their foreheads, couldn't hold back any longer, the two generations of emperors of the Tang Dynasty, father and son, erupted together!
