Chapter Ninety-Three: Confession
The banquet hall of the Jin Wangfu has a limited space, so men and women have to share a room, but fortunately, most of the guests who came today have some relatives, so they don't feel embarrassed.
There were only two seats at the main table for the emperor and queen; At the table to the right of the main seat sat the prince, the princes and the prince Feng Tianxiang, and Duan Yingjin, as the host, was also fortunate to sit on the main seat of this seat; The chief concubine of the table on the left is in charge, and the rest are the families of the princes and the eldest princess mother and daughter...... Although everyone is in the same room, the hierarchy is still clear at a glance.
After the three rounds of drinking, everyone gradually let go, and the atmosphere in the banquet became lively, and some princes and disciples began to exchange seats with each other to toast and greet. The emperor also played with everyone on a whim. The emperor is the commander, and decides who listens to the order in the form of drumming and passing flowers, and the person who receives the flowers must compose poems or couplets according to the theme given by the commander, and those who violate the order are punished for drinking.
Duan Yingjin ordered the thin monkey to break a triangular plum from the courtyard and handed it to the emperor. Duan Yulin wrote a poem with the title of "wine", and then personally passed on the flowers with chopsticks.
When the "drumming" stopped for the first time, the prince was about to pass the flower in his hand to the king of Thailand, and the king's hand also touched the flower. Who will obey the order? It's hard for the sake of the commander. Duan Yingting didn't twist it, and he opened his mouth to take back the flowers: "Full of incense and northern flowers, Yingzun color pan southern Xuan bamboo." The clouds are scattered, the sky is high, the autumn moon is bright, and the east is a new child. Drunk to forget Baling Road, in the dream is suspected to be Yong'an City. [ Adapted from Chu Guangxi's "Xinfeng Master" The original text is: Xinfeng Master is new and the wine is ripe, and the old guests return to the old hall. Full of incense with north flowers, Yingzun color pan south Xuan bamboo. The clouds are scattered, the sky is high, the autumn moon is bright, and the girl of the owner unravels Qin Zheng. Drunk to forget Baling Road, in the dream suspected to be Luoyang City.

Everyone applauded, and Du Xuexian's gaze nailed to the prince was even more brilliant. Although the king of Thailand is protected by his brother, but he does not appreciate it, does he think that he can't make decent poetry without learning and skill? Duan Yingbi patted his sibling's shoulder and teased: "Big brother, don't steal the limelight from the younger brother!" The princess still looks at her brother! Duan Yingbi grinned in the direction of Yang Yiqing, and chanted loudly: "The bright moon shines on the monarch's seat, and the white dew stains my clothes." Persuade you to fill the wine glass and listen to my crazy lyrics. Fifty has declined, and twenty has been foolish. Day and night are divided into half and a half, and there are geometric hours in between. He was not happy in life, but he had more money after death. Under the yellow ruins, the pearl jade box is. [ Bai Juyi's "Crazy Lyrics"]"
The King of Thailand is wild and uninhibited, and it really lives up to its name! Duan Yulin shook his head helplessly at his son's stubbornness, and Yang Yiqing also blushed for her husband. Duan Yingbi himself didn't think so, and drank all the wine in the cup to his father; Turning his head and winking at his wife proudly, Yang Yiqing only pretended not to see it.
Then the "drum sound" started again, and soon the flowers stopped in Xianyuan Shao's hands. Xianyuan Shaozheng was depressed that he couldn't see Zimo today, how could he have the mind to play, not to mention that he didn't know anything about chewing words at all! When the flowers fell in front of Yuan Shao, he was instantly stunned and at a loss, and Huan Zhen, who was still involved at the other table, was anxious and nervous for him. Fortunately, he had also seen some scenes, so he bowed apologetically to the saint and said frankly: "The minister will not chant poetry, admit three cups!" After saying that, he drank three glasses of wine boldly.
Yuan Shao's smiling face and sincerity made the emperor cry and laugh, and asked Yuan Shao to learn from his brother and read more books; Huan Zhen, who is "in the eyes of a lover", not only thinks that Yuan Shao is negligent in writing, but thinks that he is really cute; His father, the Immortal General, supported his forehead with his hand and couldn't bear to look at it directly.
The last round of drumming and passing flowers, and finally the flowers fell to the "Qin" family - Qin Fu held the triangular plum in his hand and thought for a moment and had inspiration: "Huayi is half-dyed with berry moss, and smiles at Tao Qian's wine urn." If you are drunk, you have to go up the mountain, and Bai Yuna is willing to come down the mountain. [ Adapted from Qin's "Gift to Zhuji Danqiu Ming Mansion in the Mountains" The original text is: The tea coat is half-broken with berry moss, and the smile is open to the Tao Qian wine urn. If you are drunk, you have to go up the mountain, and Bai Yuna is willing to come down the mountain. Hearing that Yao Shun wine is a thousand bells, I will ask Kong Rong today. If the plum blossom is planted in the cup, I don't know if it will be red? [ "Nine Songs of Drinking - Wine Commentary"]""The poem is finished Qin Fu picks a triangular plum and puts it into the cup, and the wine soaks the plum fragrance with a special taste!
"Good! Under the seat is the youngest son of the former palace university scholar and the second son of Qin, the younger brother of the concubine Duwei? Duan Yulin felt that his future life would be very good, so he asked deliberately.
"Back to Your Majesty, it is the junior minister Qin Fu."
"Qin University is a scholar with eight buckets and five cars, and his son is naturally not bad! Your brother is heavy on martial arts, you prefer Wen Tao, the two brothers have their own strengths, they are really tiger fathers without dogs! Wine! Duan Yulin personally poured a luminous cup in front of him and gave it to Qin Fu, and Qin Fu drank it up. The more Duan Yulin looked at this young man, the more pleasing he became, so he asked again: "How old is the second son this year?" Have you ever been married? ”
"Back to Your Majesty's words, the minister has just passed the age of the weak crown and has not yet married." Qin Fu didn't dare to hide it.
"Really...... I don't know which family's daughter is fortunate enough to have this young talent as a good son-in-law......" Duan Yulin glanced at Qin Fu with appreciation, thoughtful, and then nodded meaningfully towards Qin Yan. Qinmen has already produced a "first horse", so you might as well come up with another one.
Next, King Jin arranged some entertainment programs, and some drunken guests took this opportunity to leave the table to disperse the wine. The prince got up and went in the direction of the corridor, Xian Yuan Shao went to the back garden to take a turn, and after the two left, two petite figures followed them.
Xian Yuanshao walked back and forth in the back garden several times, which was much different from the imperial garden in the palace. He was quite bored and was about to go back, but saw the "annoying" Huan Zhen running towards him with a lantern.
"Fairy Boy! What a coincidence! "Obviously, I want to pretend to meet by chance when I come with others, which is really contrived. Huan Zhen also pretended to call Yuan Shao "Immortal Prince" intimately, but he didn't know that Yuan Shao hated others calling him like this the most.
"Unfortunately, I was about to go back, and the county lord took care of himself." Yuan Shao didn't have time to pay attention to her, he just wanted to leave quickly.
"Fairy boy, don't be in a hurry to leave! You see that the moonlight is hazy, the atmosphere is just right, why don't you go on a night tour with me? As he spoke, he handed the lantern to Yuan Shao, and the light illuminated Yuan Shao's tough face slightly, making it even more handsome.
Xianyuan Shao was a person who didn't understand the amorous feelings, he looked up at the night sky, and found that it was a cloudy weather tonight, and the moon had long been covered by clouds, where did the moonlight come from? So he pushed the lantern back and said, "Tonight, the dark clouds cover the moon, and the county lord quickly takes the lantern so that the road does not fall." I won't be accompanied by the next, farewell! ”
Huan Zhen was ecstatic when he heard the previous sentence, but his enthusiasm was extinguished by a basin of cold water in the latter sentence. Huan Zhen told him to stop with some grievances: "Childe is so disgusted with people? Family...... People are so sad! ”
"I'm not disgusted with you!" But it is true that he doesn't like it a little, Yuan Shao added secretly in his heart.
"Then why are you so confused and always avoiding me?" As soon as Huan Zhen heard her sweetheart say that she didn't hate her, she immediately rekindled her hope, and in her simple mind, "not hating" was equal to "liking".
"I didn't deliberately avoid you, it's just that the moon is dark and the wind is high, and it's not suitable for lonely men and widows to be together......" Xian Yuanshao was frightened back a few steps by Huan Zhen's sudden bullying, and didn't stop until an elm tree was pasted behind him.
"What's so bad? People like Childe, but they are willing to stay with Childe......" Huan Zhen couldn't care about being reserved, so he threw himself into Yuan Shao's arms.
This bold move of hers almost scared Yuan Shao's soul away! Yuan Shao's brain was blunt, his body stiffened, and he was nailed to the trunk of the tree like this, and then the words that lingered in his heart blurted out without thinking: "I seem to really hate you now......" Hearing this, Huan Zhen stared at him with wide eyes in disbelief, while Yuan Shao pushed Huan Zhen away more simply and rudely, and walked away quickly past her.
"I'm not going to give up!" Huan Zhen swore loudly, looking at his back as he ran faster and faster, tears of shame flowed all over his face.
Xian Yuanshao, who ran back in a hurry, bumped into his father who came out to find him. Xian Moyan hasn't settled with him the account of losing his father's old face just now during the banquet, and this stinky boy won't stop again!
"Stinky boy! Don't have eyes? Want to kill your own father? Xian Moyan shook his robe, and was about to escort this unsuccessful son home, but he didn't expect Xianyuan Shao to follow him obediently than a rabbit. Xian Mo Yan was strange, didn't he love to do with him in the past? He exclaimed, "The sun is coming out in the west today? Are you so obedient? Hey, I'm asking you! Did you hit the hell or lost your soul? Seeing that his son looked absent-minded, Xian Mo was angry.
"What the hell did I do! It's still a female ghost! Xian Yuanshao even felt that Huan Zhen who rushed towards him was more terrifying than a ghost.
"Bastard, what nonsense! Why don't you go home with Lao Tzu soon! As soon as Xian Moyan's temper came up, his words became rude.
"Dad, I didn't lie to you! That county lord called Huan Zhen is really scary, he rushed straight into my arms, and said that he wanted to be with me! Scared the hell out of me! Xianyuan Shao patted his chest with palpitations.
"You stupid boy! Lord Huan Zhen has taken a fancy to you as a blessing for your kid, why don't you catch it? Xian Mo Yan gave the back of his son's head for a moment.
"I don't want it! The woman was very pretentious, and the master didn't like it. Or is it my kid Mo ......" Yuan Shao got carried away and accidentally said something out of his mouth.
"Boy Mo? Who is Kid Mo? What 'bad thing' did you kid do behind Lao Tzu's back? Xian Moyan grabbed his son's ear and asked.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Don't pull it, don't pull it, I said it's ......" Yuan Shao rubbed the root of his ear that was hurting, and explained everything about him and Zimo.
"What? Wait six years? If you really like that girl, Lao Tzu will directly propose to the emperor for you, why do you have to wait for Lao Shizi for six years? "Xian Moyan is very open-minded in his son's marriage, he doesn't mind the identity of Zimo Palace Maid, as long as his son likes it, he is a beggar and he also admits it! However, these six years are not a short time, and he can't bear to bear his son's lovesickness.
"Don't, don't! You don't need to interfere in this matter, Zimo and I have agreed. It's just that I'm afraid that there will be complications during this period, and I need your father to help me block it when the time comes. The "branches" that Yuan Shao refers to are naturally women like Huan Zhen.
"You kid......" Xian Moyan squinted his eyes and pointed at Yuan Shao, and the father and son smiled slyly.
