Chapter 901: Reception Banquet
"Lord Gao, Lord Zhang, please stay ......"
Zhu Ping'an said goodbye to Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng who were sent out of the door, and turned around and walked towards his office room.
Today's visit to the high arch is ideal.
When he entered the door, Zhu Ping'an knocked twice and no one paid attention; When leaving, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were sent out of the door.
Reject before send.
From the comparison of the attitudes of Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, it can be seen that Zhu Ping'an's visit was quite effective.
When Zhu Ping'an came out of the high arch office, the time was already more than half of the time, and the reception banquet was about to start in about half an hour, and there was not enough time to visit other colleagues in Yuwangfu, and his office had not yet been cleaned up, so after Zhu Ping'an came out of the high arch office, he went back to his office directly.
As for the other colleagues, it is not too late to visit after the reception banquet.
After returning to the office, Zhu Ping'an found that there was a lot of greenery in the office.
There are eight potted plants of different sizes in the room, the highest potted plant is podocarpus, placed on the old dry branches, the branches and leaves are swaying, the ancient and delicate, the posture is moving, and the other potted plants are smaller, mainly chrysanthemums and black bamboos of different varieties.
The breeze blows, and the greenery in the room is slightly rippling, which is very pleasant.
"I don't know what bonsai adults like, so the small ones chose some for the adults according to the preferences of most people in the house. If the adults don't like it, let the small ones change the bonsai for the adults. Steward Liu asked as he bowed to the side.
"I don't need to replace it, it's good, I like it very much, thank you Steward Liu for your trouble." Zhu Ping'an looked around with satisfaction, and thanked Steward Liu.
"Your Excellency is gracious." Steward Liu hurriedly said.
Then, Steward Liu arranged for someone to move a few furnishings and some living utensils to Zhu Ping'an's room.
"Adults and rest first, the small ones will not bother, if the adults find out that there is something missing in the future, whether it is the four treasures of the study or daily living supplies, etc., the adults will make people order, and the small ones must be added to the adults for the first time." Before leaving, Steward Liu said.
"Hehe, then thank you Steward Liu, don't trouble Steward Liu in the future."
Zhu Ping'an responded with a smile, and was not polite, after all, it was a thing from King Yu's Mansion, and he worked for King Yu, so he didn't need to be polite, besides, the saint deducted so much money from himself, and it was reasonable for the father to repay the son's debts.
"How can it be troublesome, it is a small blessing to be able to serve adults." Steward Liu hurriedly shook his head and said.
"Hehe, it should be a blessing of peace." Zhu Ping'an said with a smile.
"The adults laughed, the adults should rest first, and when the reception banquet begins, the small ones will come and inform the adults."
Steward Liu bowed down and left, closing the door.
"There is labor."
Zhu Ping'an watched Steward Liu leave, and then slowly paced around the outside of the office.
The area is sufficient, the functional partition is excellent, the office supplies are perfect, the daily necessities are complete, and the sun is shining and green.
The first independent office in my life, all kinds of satisfaction.
The lounge was very well organized, Zhu Ping'an didn't clean up and adjust too much, mainly cleaned up the outer room, rearranged the desk according to his own habits, classified the books on the shelves, and then wiped the tables, chairs and other items with a wet rag......
It took about twenty minutes.
After cleaning up, Zhu Ping'an opened the doors and windows for ventilation, and he sat in front of the desk and put on the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, took a copy of "Orchid Pavilion Preface" from the bookshelf and opened it on the desk.
"In the ninth year of Yonghe, the age is ugly, and at the beginning of late spring, I will be in the Lanting of Huiji Shanyin, and I will repair things. The sages are complete, and the young are salty. This place ......"
"Orchid Pavilion Preface" Wang Xizhi 51 years old proud pen, is the first post of China's book, just tidy up the bookshelf, Zhu Ping'an found this volume of "Orchid Pavilion Preface" facsimile, the book saint Jianjian elegant calligraphy Zhu Ping'an was fascinated, so when practicing the word, he opened this volume of "Orchid Pavilion Preface" and tried to imitate it.
There are 20 words in the text of the Lanting preface, plus a word in the inscription, and there are 21 words in the whole post. Twenty-one words, twenty-one penmanship, twenty-one aesthetics, each with a different posture and beauty, none of them are repeated, and there is no void under the name of the saint.
Zhu Ping'an just finished copying and writing the "Orchid Pavilion Preface", and as soon as he put down his pen, Steward Liu came in to spread the word and invited Zhu Ping'an to the banquet - the reception banquet prepared by His Royal Highness King Yu.
After Zhu Ping'an washed his hands, he sorted out his clothes, and then followed Steward Liu towards the address of the reception banquet.
The reception banquet of Yuwangfu was placed in the garden, close to the lotus pond, and the people of the palace built a huge pergola to shade the sun, saying that it was a pergola, in fact, the design was not vulgar at all, the pergola was designed into a pavilion style, and it was elegant and noble everywhere.
The pergola is made of high-grade Xiangfei bamboo, which can be rolled and expanded, so that it is ventilated. The pergola is hung with curtains around it, on the one hand, the curtain can shade the sun, on the other hand, the curtain can also leave a gap to keep the ventilation, the curtain is also made of spotted bamboo and Xiangfei bamboo, and the exquisite landscape pattern is woven on it, which is very elegant.
Eight refrigerators are lined up in the center of the pergola, and the refrigerators here are not modern refrigerators, but ancient ones.
The refrigerator placed in the pergola is similar in style to Dading, bronze material, four-legged tripod, more than 20 centimeters from the ground, there is also a bottom bracket below, and a dragon head copper ring is set up at each of the four waists, which is convenient to carry. The lid of the refrigerator is made of jujube wood, and a bronze brick is pressed on the thick board, and nine hundred and eighty small holes are drilled on the thick plate, and the cold air emitted by the ice cubes is dispersed through the small holes to achieve the effect of cooling. Of course, compared with modern air conditioners, this is more than 108,000 miles behind.
The ice cubes in the refrigerator were specially purchased from outside today by the steward of Yuwang Mansion.
In fact, it is said that the royal family has a special office responsible for the royal family's summer ice regulations. Every winter, there are special ice miners in the office to collect ice in the Royal River, chiseling the ice in the Royal River into cubes of the specified size, and pulling it into a royal ice cellar outside the West Garden, for the use of the royal family in the summer.
As the prince, Yuwang can receive ice examples directly from the manufacturing office.
However, just as Yuwang's prince's welfare benefits were stuck by the household department and other departments, so is Yuwang's ice case. Every time the people of Yuwangfu were ordered to go to the manufacturing office to receive the ice regulations, they would be stuck by the manufacturing office for various normal or abnormal reasons, what key was broken, what ice cellar was repaired, what day had not yet come to issue ice regulations, what officials in charge of ice regulations went to Xiyuan to deliver ice, and so on......
The ice cubes that Yuwangfu receives from the manufacturing office every ten years are less than one, and ten ice cases can only receive one point. The ice cubes received were barely enough for King Yu and his concubines in the backyard, and as for the places where ice was used for large banquets in summer, King Yu's Mansion could only spend money to purchase it outside.
The ice used in this reception banquet was specially purchased by the steward of Yuwang Mansion outside.
