Chapter 65: The Mid-Autumn Banquet (I)
"Ouch, Li Fuzun is here, the old and the young are honored, and the old and young are shining!"
The Mid-Autumn Festival Chen's banquet invited all the relatives and friends, and was just about to start the banquet, but Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, came to the Chen's residence with his wife Cai and his concubine Wang.
Although Li Sanjian did not arrive on time, although Quanzhou at this time had a lot of criticism of Li Sanjian, but Li Sanjian was the respect of a state after all, and his identity and status were unmatched in Quanzhou, and the merchants of Quanzhou must also rely on Li Sanjian's snort, so the Chen family all welcomed out of the mansion.
Not only that, but Chen Guangbi, the old lady of the Chen clan, also greeted him, you must know that ordinary guests Chen Guangbi will not greet him in person, even when Li Dejun, the richest man in Quanzhou, arrived, Chen Guangbi did not greet him in person.
At this time, Li Sanjian was not wearing a scarlet official robe, but was wearing a regular official uniform, wearing a cyan head, a cyan gown, a jade belt around his waist, and a pair of black boots.
The so-called people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and Li Sanjian, who is already tall and handsome, looks even more handsome and handsome at this time, with a slight trace of exhaustion on his face.
And the same is true for Cai Rongxue and Wang Wen, Cai Rongxue is wearing a lilac long skirt with an off-white back, which is also the national color and fragrance, while Wang Wen is wearing a pink thin Luo long skirt with a light blue back, which is also naturally beautiful.
The two women hired Tingting and walked in a good way, like the wind swinging lotus willows, they were outstanding in style, and the Chen family and others opened their mouths in shock, which was shocking.
People say that Li Sanjian's family has a fairy wife, and when I see it at this time, it is really the case, and there is more than one...
But to everyone's surprise, Li Sanjian actually brought his concubine...
Generally speaking, when attending a banquet, the family members can only be wives, not concubines, unless they are only favored by concubines.
But Li Sanjian doesn't look like this, the reason is that his wife Cai Rongxue's appearance is above that of his concubine Wang Wen, and he will spoil his wife if he wants to be alone.
"Hey, Mrs. Chen, you don't have to be like this, you can also torture the boy!" Seeing this, Li Sanjian hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Li is entangled in business, come a moment late, and hope that Mrs. Chen will forgive her sins!" ”
"Hehe" Chen Guangbi stroked his white beard and said with a smile: "Li Zhizhou is planning for all the people of Quanzhou for me, working day and night on political affairs, it can be said that there are all kinds of opportunities for the day, how can the old man be blamed?" How dare you blame the old decay? ”
Chen Yide, Chen Yixin and others on the side couldn't help but blush slightly when they heard this.
Li Sanjian is responsible for Quanzhou's political affairs, but he complains about Quanzhou's hard work, and Li Sanjian's reputation has also plummeted...
But they also know in their hearts that the words above the scene are not true.
"The old lady is serious." After Li Sanjian smiled, he said to Cai Rongxue and Wang Wen: "Two Hun families, come and meet the old lady!" ”
Hunjia? Still two? Everyone thought it was secretly funny when they heard this.
The Song Dynasty was monogamous and polygamous, and the wife was called the Hun family. . . , and the concubine room, polite, elegant is called a small wife, a young wife, a little woman, a side room, an outer room, an outer house, a foreign woman, a partial room, etc., and the uncivilized and rude title is the person around you, the person who is able, the person who has provided for the person, the person in front of the hall, the lady who picks up the foot, etc., and is even called a slave.
Li Sanjian called his concubine the Hun family, could it be that Li Sanjian treated his concubine equally at home? But will his wife agree to this? Will his wife, Cai, be satisfied?
At the same time, they usually bring their families to attend this kind of occasion, and they usually bring their wives, where does anyone still bring a concubine? If you do that, you will be criticized.
Everyone suddenly worried about Li Sanjian's housework...
"The slave family visits Mrs. Chen, on this mid-autumn day, Mrs. Chen's family is happy, reunited, and harmonious!" Cai Rongxue and Wang Wenyingying bowed.
Cai Rongxue is also okay, she was born in the family of Zaizhi, and she has to undergo strict training in etiquette since she was a child, so she is very decent.
Although Wang Wen's mother is the daughter of the Han family, she grew up in the Danzhou village of Qiongtai, so the Han family's etiquette is poorly understood.
However, with the help of Cai Rongxue, Wang Wen is also a gift from the Han family.
This is also the first time that Li Sanjian has brought his family to attend such an occasion.
"I can't help it, I can't help it, it's old, the two ladies please get up quickly!" Chen Guangbi said hurriedly.
At this time, Chen Guangbi was still resentful of failing to marry Li Sanjian.
Li Sanjian has a wife and a concubine, which proves that Li Sanjian is not a Yanagi Hui-like figure, not that oil and salt are not inaccessible, and there are still some rumors in the market that Li Sanjian is a womanizer...
In this way, a stunning woman in the family is exchanged for the family's soaring. . . Such a good deal is actually a chicken and egg fight!
At this time, Chen Guangbi hated him deeply! 139 Reading Network
"Make, make, how not?" Li Sanjian said with a smile: "Ziyun, the old man and the old man, Mrs. Chen is over the age of old, and she deserves everyone's respect!" ”
It is not easy for people in this world to live to be seventy years old, and it is also extremely rare, so as long as an old man is not too out of line, he will be respected by others, which is etiquette.
"Hehe, Li Zhizhou, the two ladies are invited!" Chen Guangbi was happy in his heart, and greeted Li Sanjian and his two wives again and again.
。。。。。。。。。。。。。
"Meet Li Fuzun! Meet Taigong! ”
There is a larger pavilion in Chen's house, which is a large open hall with pillars and no walls built on a rammed earth platform, which is used for viewing, feasting, and shooting.
Chen's Mid-Autumn Banquet was placed in the open hall.
The banquet was placed in the north and facing the south, and Mrs. Chen sat in the north and the south and sat in the chief. The people of the Chen clan sat on the left side of Chen Guangbi according to their descendants, and they sat on the main seat facing the east and west.
The guests invited by the Chen family sat on the right side of Chen Guangbi according to their dignity and status, and they were the guests who sat in the west and the east.
And Li Sanjian sat in the first place on the right of Chen Guangbi and was the first guest, and Li Dejun, the richest man in Quanzhou, sat in the second guest seat under Li Sanjian.
Generally speaking, in this world, men and women are not allowed to drink at the same table, or even in the same room, unless the woman is a wine maid or a maid or servant girl waiting for the banquet.
However, today's Chen's Mid-Autumn Banquet is basically a family banquet, and the Chen family invited relatives and friends, Li Sanjian and Chen Yide knew each other as early as seven or eight years ago, so they can be regarded as old friends of the Chen family.
It is because it is a family banquet of the Chen family, so men and women are allowed to feast and drink in the same house, but men and women need to sit separately, separated by a large wooden carved mahogany screen in the middle, the woman sits on the right side of the open hall, the man sits on the left head of the open hall, and the man can shout and drink wildly, and the woman can not make a sound when eating.
Dozens of dining tables can be placed in the open hall of Chen's home, which can accommodate hundreds of people to drink and feast together, so the tables for men and women are still far apart.
After everyone paid homage to the salute, they sat down separately, and then the servants and maidservants in the Chen family brought up all kinds of wine and delicacies like flowing water, and set up a full table, and there was almost no empty space on the table.
Then the guests and hosts talked about the wine, which was staggered and drunk, and it was so lively.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Dejun, the richest man in Quanzhou, picked up a bottle of wine and smiled at Li Sanjian: "Li Fuzun is my new champion of the Heavenly Dynasty, for the heavenly Qu Xing, and for the world. It also opened the eyes of the little ones! ”
After Li Dejun sat down at Li Sanjian's head, he stared at Li Sanjian, and looked at Li Sanjian as hairy, and couldn't help but suspect that Li Dejun was good at Longyang...
Writing poems and lyrics? Li Sanjian couldn't help but shake his head secretly when he heard this.
The types of entertainment activities above the folk banquets in the Song Dynasty were more than those in the imperial palace, and the banquets and drinks were often pushed to a climax. The people who participated in the banquet were those who were hosts, who were hospitable and courteous, those who drank and enjoyed themselves as guests, and those who were courtesans and maikos, who sang and danced to help the wine.
Among them, the poems and lyrics are an indispensable entertainment activity in the banquet, and almost any large-scale banquet will be there.
The Song Dynasty "promotes culture and education, suppresses martial affairs", so the poems and lyrics in the banquet are not the patent of literati and doctors, and many merchants, wealthy families, and even peddlers and pawns will also have dinners in the homes of small people, but they are more or less, elegant or vulgar.
In particular, many businessmen and wealthy rooms are more eager to fill in poems and lyrics during the banquet in order to be elegant, and many businessmen and wealthy rooms are also more or less proficient or slightly understanding, elegant or vulgar.
Of course, the banquets of businessmen and rich rooms must be elegant, and there are also vulgar banquets, and there are also vulgar activities or jokes during the banquet, but at this time, the Great Song Dynasty Zhuangyuanlang and Quanzhou Zhizhou are here, so can the Chen's Mid-Autumn banquet still be vulgar? Do you still dare to be vulgar?
"Very good, very good!"
"The little ones are fortunate to see the demeanor of the champion today, and they are really fortunate to have three lives!"
"Champion Lang doesn't have to excuse himself!"
"Champion Lang will reward his face once!"
"Zhuang Yuanlang's little pen and ink today, the small one must be carefully transcribed, and it will be framed in the hall when I go back, so that future generations can admire!"
Li Dejun's proposal immediately aroused the echo of the Quanzhou businessmen and wealthy families who attended the banquet, and they all agreed, and at the same time, the words poured towards Li Sanjian like a tide.
However, it is indeed not easy for the Quanzhou businessmen and wealthy rooms who attended the banquet to get the pieces of paper and ink from the Great Song Dynasty Zhuangyuanlang.
Under such circumstances, how could Li Sanjian refuse? How do you say no? So Li Sanjian had no choice but to say: "You are so gracious, how can this official brush your respect and sweep away your Yaxing?" However, I hope that you will approve of this proposal. ”
