Chapter 132: The Commander Is Good Intentions or Bad Intentions
Although Wang Shisu also participated in the banquet, he always felt that there was not much sense of participation, this banquet could be a reception banquet set by Jian Dingyong, or it could be said to be a celebration banquet, and the participants were either important officials in the officialdom or celebrities in the literary world, just like him, and there was also a world-famous father to support him.
But although Li Mi is the chief catcher of Wu County, in the final analysis, he is just a fast catcher, how can dog meat be on the table?
However, the reality is not like this, although Li Mi deliberately stayed away from the chairman and shrank in the corner in a low-key manner, Luo Ruwang exchanged words with him from time to time, and even Zhang Sunsheng also gave him some words from time to time without a trace, and did not snub Li Mi at all!
Father Wang Shizhen is a great Confucian in the world, famous all over the world, Wang Shisu thought that he would be treated by the stars, but the reality is still quite different from his imagination.
He is also a scholar, he can't compare to Li Mi in his fists and feet, and he can't swallow this breath, can't he make up for the limelight in this literati collection?
Thinking of this, he said to Zhang Sunsheng: "Lord Fu Yin, today is also a collection of sages, elegant and elegant, why don't we wait for a wine order, how about a poem?" ”
All of you are readers, this poetry has always been an indispensable highlight of the banquet, even if the dynasty changes, this fashion has not changed much, that is, those dynasties of different races in history, there are also many classics handed down to future generations.
And this kind of banquet full of literati style and pride is indispensable for poetry competition and appreciation, and many people have even become famous because of this, and have since embarked on the road of famous artists.
The imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty has reached its peak, and the scholars often travel around the world, make friends in the same year, and make friendships, which they have long been well versed in.
Zhang Sunsheng also smiled and said: "The proposal of the virtuous nephew is also very good, you are all proud sons of Jinling, the leader of Wu County, don't hide your secrets, since it was put forward by the virtuous nephew, how about you do this order?" ”
Wang Shisu was also secretly happy in his heart, he just wanted to make Li Mi ugly, with the identity of an official, how could Li Mi escape!
The ancients also talked about a lot of rules for drinking, especially when drinking was ordered, there was a wine supervisor, so as not to let someone cheat, and the overseer at the wine table was called a commander.
The power of the commander at the wine table is great, Wang Shisu is the son of the great writer Wang Shizhen, and it is he who advocates the execution of the order to promote the fun and compete with the poems, which is also a matter of course for the commander to fall on his head.
Those who can be the commanders at the wine table are all exquisite people, but they are not blindly selfless, but they must stop in moderation, reconcile the atmosphere, and make the banquet more festive and joyful.
When these literati arrive in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, they usually do not look for their peers to be the commanders, but to find the top card of the Oiran to be the commander, and the competition on the surface will not be too fierce, who doesn't have to sell the top card to save a few faces?
Second, the Oiran head card occasionally plays tricks, and is partial to the person he likes, that is, everyone knows that it can contribute to good things.
Of course, although Wang Shisu is not the top brand of the Oiran, this banquet is also a serious banquet, and everyone is naturally grinding their fists.
Seeing this, Li Mi also said that he was not good, although he didn't care about face, but no one was willing to embarrass himself in public.
Although he likes to read, all he can read are crime novels such as suspense detectives, and he has never read classics such as poetry, besides, even if he has read it, it is now the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and the poetry of the Ming and Qing dynasties is not as good as the Tang and Song dynasties, and it is very tight, even if he memorizes some, it is also from the Tang and Song dynasties, where is there any use!
Li Mi also knows that he has enough limelight, the great literati Li Zhen of the Ming Dynasty once said that anyone who is smart and easy to show is enough to kill him, Li Mi can not become the focus of attention in all aspects, otherwise he will definitely cause trouble, not to mention the poetry competition that he is not good at.
Thinking of this, Li Mi had the heart to leave, but now it was just the beginning, everyone was watching, and it was not easy for him to get up and leave, so he planned to stay for a while The scene was more chaotic, and when the other one got up, it was better to quit.
This stay also opened Li Mi's eyes, Wang Shisu didn't seem to really mean anything to him, and asked people to take out a painting earlier, so that the guests could sing things, although he was an official, but the judges were naturally Zhang Sunsheng and other seniors.
These literati are also full of sincerity, some of them search their intestines and scrape their stomachs, play on the spot, and some of them hide their old works, and they are just used and secretly happy, and you come and go is not lively.
The topic is also getting more and more difficult, Wang Shisu let people show the authentic works of ancient times, with the background of the times and the origin of the story, the poems must be in line with the topic, but also have something to say, the style is elegant, and even the words and sentences are well considered, which is really addictive.
Of course, insiders look at the doorway, laymen look at the excitement, Li Mi is not keen on this, and he is not good at it, he has a specialization in the art industry, he is not eating this meal, and there is no need to envy the hot eyes, he just wants to wait for someone to leave the table, so that he can take the opportunity to slip away.
However, the time to come still came, he thought that Wang Shisu had given up such an idea, but who knew that Wang Shisu knocked on the wine glass and said to everyone.
"People often say that in times of peace, the government and guards in Suzhou and Hangzhou are pouring out of the nest, sailing to suppress bandits, although we are powerless, but we dare not forget the national worries, if we take this as the theme, it can be regarded as waving the flag and shouting for the strong men who go out, I wish you peace, how about?"
As soon as Wang Shisu said this, everyone responded like a cloud, which has risen to the height of political correctness, who dares to say half a word?
Moreover, his grandfather was a famous anti-Japanese minister, and he was born with a great hatred for the Japanese invaders, and he himself had already shown some intentions, often looking for some samurai and the like to play, and it was not surprising that everyone brought up this stubble.
Seeing this, Wang Shisu also said to everyone: "This time we are going to sell our dead power, even if we lose, it doesn't matter, we drink horizontally and vertically, and it can be regarded as wishing peace and health for the anti-Japanese soldiers, don't shirk it." ”
As soon as Wang Shisu said this, everyone naturally echoed for a while, and then Wang Shisu looked at Li Mi and said as if he was unintentional.
"Brother Li has been drinking with his head bored, and he has been brewing for a long time, why don't you come first and come out on top?"
This banquet hall is so big, and during the poetry competition, Li Mi drank with his head bored, and everyone watched it.
Everyone is a literati, but Li Mi is a vulgar official, he can't beat the eight poles, and everyone can't get any superiority from Li Mi, who will laugh at a catcher who can't write poetry?
However, Wang Shisu pointed to Li Mi at this time, and everyone didn't think there was anything wrong, the atmosphere was in full swing at this time, and Li Mi could be called half of the protagonist of this banquet.
Some people even couldn't help but admire Wang Shisu, after all, they wanted to make Li Mi have a sense of participation, so they just held back three or two lines, and it didn't matter, but it didn't snub Li Mi for too long.
It's just that where would they have thought that Wang Shisu just wanted Li Mi to make a fool of himself, and he just wanted everyone to see that he Li Mi was not a scholar after all, just a Xu official, a local chicken and a dog, how could he climb the branches!
The imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty has reached its peak, and if you are not a scholar, you can't enter the officialdom at all, and even if you donate it, you will be despised.
Maybe they thought that this move would not be able to humiliate Li Mi, but Wang Shisu knew that this was fundamentally distinguishing Li Mi from everyone present!
This will make everyone realize that no matter how powerful Li Mi is in solving the case, and how clever he is, after all, he is separated by such a big mountain of scholars, so why should he raise such a fast catch? He's not the same as us at all!
Others don't know about the festival between Wang Shisu and Li Mi, but Jian Dingyong and Zhang Sunsheng are looking at it, but they are in their eyes.
They are not stupid, they can naturally see what Wang Shisu meant, but Wang Shisu has already spoken first, and has risen to the height of political correctness, he has already said everything, who dares to refuse and shirk?
Li Mi couldn't see that he couldn't get out of the right place, but he was not idle, when these literati were shaking their heads, he was also searching his intestines, but the poems he remembered were not used, but now he didn't want to leave!
Because he was born in a police academy, whether it is a police academy or a military academy, it is indispensable to carry out courses on patriotism and national defense education!
In these courses, it is natural to quote some classic works of patriotic poets and lyricists, after all, the ancient times are very old, and the quotations are all modern and even modern works!
Although these works are not comparable to the ancient classics, they are still a hundred times stronger than Li Mi's own nonsense!
If it's other topics, it's fine, but when it comes to this military theme, Li Mi really wants to try it!
As soon as Wang Shisu made this proposal, Li Mi began to think back to the works he had come into contact with.
These poems once made his and his classmates' blood boil, once firmly imprinted in his mind, planted in his heart, and now in retrospect, they are gushing up like a long-lost spring!
He silently recited these poems, and for a moment fell into a state of self-forgetfulness, so that he did not notice that Wang Shisu mentioned his name.
Until Wang Shisu said again: "Brother Li, after all, this is a scholar's business, Brother Li may be able to go to the battlefield in person to kill the enemy, but he is much luckier than us, if he really can't do it, it will be fine, come on, let's have a drink, it will be considered the past." ”
Although Wang Shisu said casually, as if he was considerate of Li Mi, everyone could hear the ridicule!
As Wang Shisu expected, these literati and scholars originally had no grudge against Li Mi, after all, there was no conflict of interest, since Ying Tianfu Yin favored Li Mi, everyone thought that they could win it, and everyone was happy to have the icing on the cake.
But now that Wang Shisu said this, they suddenly woke up.
Yes, he Li Mi is just a vulgar official who has not read, why is he more courteous than us?
Although he was able to solve the case, didn't he finally have to submit it to the magistrate, to the Suzhou Prefecture to the Yamen, to the Yamen of the Criminal Division, and then to the Criminal Department?
Aren't all these kinds of work done by civilian officials? Even if it is an investigation of a case, isn't it possible for him to accomplish it with a small catch, and it is only under the guidance of the superior that a civilian official is in charge? Why can he become a solo team?
