Delicacies and wine, and in such an exquisite dining place as Fanlou, this banquet is naturally comfortable to eat. After all, Fan Lou is Fan Lou, the dishes are really good, the dishes in the north, south, east and west are very authentic, and there are sometimes innovations. For the guests and friends, the dishes on the table are the result of everyone's discussion, which is naturally in line with everyone's wishes, and they are praised again and again for eating, and they are full of joy.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. Without waiting for everyone to go to the 'Pavilion in the Sky' to toast, Lin Jue personally took Yang Xiu and other civil and military officials to toast every building, every floor hall, and every table of banquets. This flattered the officials. What surprised the officials even more was that Lin Xiang seemed to know them, could call them by name and official position, and knew where they were officials. This point is even more praised by the officials. This shows that Lin Xiang has worked hard and understands each of them and where they work. Generally speaking, it is not surprising that the state government officials know them above Lin Xiang, but the military and political officials in the county below are actually just small officials the size of sesame mung beans, and Lin Xiang can completely ignore them, but he does not. Although this is a bit of a deliberate attempt to close the distance, Lord Lin is really attentive.

Of course Lin Jue was prepared, of course he had to mingle with these people. The names of these people and the places of office are not secret, and there is a special roster record in the government hall. However, it is a bit troublesome to compare people with official positions. But it's not too hard. As long as Lin Jue wanted to, he could even know the resume, personality and conduct of any of them, because Lin Jue had Xuanyi Guard in his hands. Vigorously developing Xuanyiwei has been the consensus of Lin Jue and Ma Bin, Ma Bin has already begun to spread the Xuanyiwei branch all over the Great Zhou, and over time, this is a powerful intelligence network that is enough to control the entire Great Zhou.

Among all these officials, Lin Jue did not know them completely. In fact, a lot of this is old knowledge. For example, many of them were officials of the Ordinance Department at the beginning, and after the Ordinance Department was abolished. into the local bureaucracy. There are also Lin Jue's subordinate officials when he was the third envoy and many familiar officials. On the first seat on the third floor of the North Building, Lin Jue even met two old friends who had dealt with him when he was in Hangzhou. One of these two is Song Yanping and the other is Wang Kai.

Song Yanping and Wang Kai were the commanders of the Ning Navy and fought to exterminate the bandits on Peach Blossom Island. Subsequently, the two of them made meritorious contributions to the bandits, and they were both transferred to serve in the forbidden army in the capital, which can be regarded as the beneficiaries after the extermination of the bandits.

Later, Lin Jue entered Beijing and won the champion, and when he was an official in the capital, Song Yanping and Wang Kai had contact with Lin Jue for a period of time. After all, the original plan to exterminate the bandits was Lin Jue's clever plan, if it weren't for Lin Jue's courage, resourcefulness and fearlessness, how could the two of them have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to the bandits. But because of their sensitive identities, both of them are generals of the forbidden army, and it is inconvenient for military generals of the forbidden army to have close contacts with foreign officials. In addition, both of them were transferred from Hangzhou to Beijing, and they were inseparable from Liang Wangfu, so they would be looked at differently. So in order to gain a firm foothold, the two had to take the initiative to avoid suspicion and reduce their interactions with Lin Jue and Liang Wangfu. After Lin Jue was caught by the list and married the little county lord, there was little contact between the two and Lin Jue. But in private, the two talked about Lin Juelai with praise and admiration.

However, even if the two were cautious, after Guo Xu seized the throne, Song Yanping and Wang Kai still could not escape the implication. After Lin Jue rebelled out of the capital with his father and son, Lu Zhongtian ordered to purge the remnants of the Liang Palace, and for a while, the officials who were originally related to the Liang Palaces left out to find a way to save themselves. Song Yanping and Wang Kai have long been considered to have a close relationship with the Liang Palace, so it is naturally difficult to escape. The two were dismissed from their official positions and imprisoned, and when they were about to be beheaded, it was Yang Jun, the privy envoy, who came forward to save their lives. Yang Jun is a person who protects his shortcomings, although Song Yanping and Wang Kai are not his descendants, but for the generals who are good at leading the army in the army, Yang Jun has a love for talents. In addition, there was nothing wrong with Song Yanping and Wang Kai acting low-key after being transferred to the forbidden army in the capital, and Yang Jun refused to let Lu Zhongtian stretch his hand too long and wantonly kill the generals in the army, which would harm his interests, so he came to the rescue.

The crimes of the two changed from 'traitors and fellow thieves' at the beginning to 'having an old relationship with thieves' and 'misbehaving', and the two also changed from capital crimes to derogatory reprimands to Chenzhou, Hunan Road, to serve as the chief and deputy regimental trainers.

Lin Jue was full of emotion when he saw Song Yanping and Wang Kai, he had already seen the names of Song Yanping and Wang Kai from the list of officials, and specially ordered Wang Kai, who was the deputy, to come with Song Yanping. When the old people saw each other, they naturally felt emotion in their hearts. In the past few years, the world has been turned upside down, and the fate of the country and the fate of the individual have been turned upside down. On this occasion, there is no need to say a thousand words, Lin Jue raised his glass and stepped forward to drink a glass of wine with Song Yanping and Wang Kai. They are all men who stand up to the sky, the words are in the wine, and the bitterness, hardship, grievances, and pain of gathering together are all in the wine.

It took more than an hour for this large circle to interact. The banquet was opened after dark, and when Lin Jue and the others returned to their seats, it was nearly two o'clock. But the feast is in full swing, and there is no sign of stopping.

Zhang Tong, the shopkeeper of Fan Lou, walked up to the 'Pavilion in the Sky' respectfully with his robe, and Lin Jue saw it and asked him to come forward to speak.

"Lin Xiang, my lords, today's banquet is not well arranged, please take care of it, if there is anything wrong, Lin Xiang can be punished when he turns around. This building will be corrected by all means. ”

Lin Jue said with a smile: "The shopkeeper is joking, being able to arrange it so thoughtfully in a very short period of time already shows the strength of your Fan Lou." Not to mention anything else, it is not easy to prepare hundreds of dishes from all over the world. Today's feast, I am very satisfied. I was about to thank you. ”

Zhang Tong nodded with a smile: "It's not an honor to get Lin Xiang's praise." It did take a lot of work. For example, the dish of steamed bear's paw and steamed deer tail that Northland people love to eat, it is not difficult to burn, but the difficult thing is to get the ingredients. The war has just subsided, where can we get such things? Fortunately, Xiao Lao'er had some ways, so he sent people to Liaodong to find hunters and go into the mountains to hunt bears. The bear can't be killed on the spot, and when the weather is sent to the capital, it will be bad and can't be eaten, so the bear must be captured alive and transported to the capital alive. This way, can suffer a big sin, until yesterday did not go to the capital, slaughtered and then went down to the ice well to save a day, today is a fresh bear's paw. ”

Zhang Tong's understatement was an understatement, and Lin Jue, Yang Xiu, Ma Bin and others in the audience were all amazed and surprised. Such a lot of trouble can be seen Fan Lou's intentions. The name of the world's No. 1 restaurant is not obtained out of thin air. Such a plate of bear's paws costs a huge amount, and it is no wonder that the dishes here are ridiculously expensive, but it is also because of the hard work behind it.

"Good, good. Listen, that's what it's all about. Regardless of the rest, this attitude alone is worth emulating. Doing things like doing things, no matter how big or small, even if it's a dish, you have to do it perfectly. From this, it is inferred from the court to all walks of life in the Great Zhou, if everyone can do their best to do their own things, what kind of situation will it be. Lin Jue nodded approvingly.

Everyone nodded, indeed, Fan Lou's serious attitude is indeed beyond the ability of ordinary people, which is also the reason why they can be famous all over the world. No matter how big or small, no matter how difficult it is, find a way to do it, and keep improving, in order to become a leader.

"Thank you Lin Xiang for complimenting, this is all what we and other restaurants should do. That one...... Lin Xiang, when he came down to disturb, he actually asked Lin Xiang to allow Xiao Lao'er to arrange a small moon appreciation program. You see, now that the moon is in the middle of the sky, the angle is just right, can you allow the little old man to present the show to help the fun? The shopkeeper Zhang Tong bowed down and pleaded.

Lin Jue nodded and smiled: "Is there still a show?" It's really thoughtful, so naturally you have to see. Yes, the moon is in the sky, and it's time to admire the moon. It is as arranged by the shopkeeper. ”

The old shopkeeper nodded his head and thanked him repeatedly, and then turned around and ordered someone to prepare. Soon after, all seats in each building were notified. But I saw someone standing on the top of the overpass carrying a red lantern. The lantern flickered twice and then went out, and at the same time, all the lights in the five buildings were quickly blown out by the housekeepers. The originally brightly lit Fan Tower instantly became pitch black.

When the officials were stunned, they heard a clattering sound, and all the carved long windows were opened in an instant by the male and female stewards in the Fan Tower, and the skylights blocked above the side eaves cloister were also opened, and it was obvious that there were already people waiting on them. As the long windows opened, the skylights opened, and the soft moonlight poured into the halls of each building and each floor like flowing water. Although not everyone could see the moon in the sky, everyone could see the moonlight flowing in for a moment.

The moonlight appeared in front of everyone's eyes like a light veil, like mist, like a slowly flowing river. It seems illusory, but it seems to be like a substance, and it can be caressed. It's truly beautiful. Originally, this banquet of one or two thousand people was very lively and noisy. But as the lights went out and the moonlight came in, everyone fell silent in an instant. In the face of the moonlight, many people's faces calmed down, as if they had suddenly touched the most secret, gentle and quiet part of their hearts, and suddenly became quiet and peaceful.

Just as everyone was quietly staring at the moonlight as clear as water, a soft song sounded from the overpass, flowing into everyone's hearts with the moonlight.

"When is the bright moon? Ask the sky for wine. I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace. I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the high place is unbearable. Dance to figure out how the shadow seems to be in the world.

Turn Zhu Pavilion, low Qihu, shine sleeplessly. There should be no hatred, what is the long time to say goodbye? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete. I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles. ”
